Dragon Hidden in the Sky

Chapter 1417 Unique Characteristic: "Pathogenesis"

Ye Qing's eyes flickered, and he turned around abruptly. He discovered that the figure from before had actually appeared not far behind him!

"So monstrous?" Ye Qing's heart stirred, and his fist intent surged as he prepared to strike again!

"Stop!" the man shouted in a low voice, "I've lost!"

"Hmm?" Ye Qing's expression shifted.

"You just shattered my body, and this is how it's been reassembled. If you were at the late-stage Domain Lord realm, I wouldn't be your match!" the man said.

"Huh!" Ye Qing looked at him strangely.

From what he said, it seemed that he had just defeated him, and the man had re-formed?

What about those guards? Are they dead or alive?

He was too lazy to think about it anymore. He put away his boxing gloves and said, "Let me go up to the third level!"

"You seem to be in quite a hurry!" The man smiled slightly, then waved his right hand and said, "This is your reward for clearing the level!"

The next moment, a box floated towards Ye Qing.

Ye Qing grabbed the box, opened it, and found a pill inside containing astonishing energy.

Clearly, the rewards are different for each level.

Ye Qing didn't know much about pills, but he knew that if he took this pill, it would definitely be useful. He could feel that the energy contained in it was no less than that of the inner core of a seventh-grade exotic beast.

He was a little happy. If the rewards on the second level were so generous, then the rewards on the later levels would probably get better and better!

Who knows... there might actually be a chance to break through to the peak of the Domain Lord realm.

Just then, the area in front of him quickly became chaotic again, and then a set of steps appeared.

Without further hesitation, Ye Qing quickly rushed up the stairs.

The third level was still against a late-stage Domain Lord opponent, whom Ye Qing dealt with very easily. The reward for the third level was still the same kind of pill, but this time there were two pills.

Ye Qing still chose to put it away, and then he headed towards the fourth floor!

The fourth floor was another desolate place. Ye Qing looked around and felt as if this was the end of the world.

Just then, a figure walked over from a distance!

Ye Qing's longsword instantly appeared in his hand. Just as he was about to make a move, the other party spoke up: "No need to be in such a hurry!"

“I dare to wait!” Ye Qing said.

"Even if you're in a hurry, you're only a late-stage Domain Lord. You can't pass the ninth level. Perhaps if you talk to me, you might have a different understanding!" As they talked, the man had already come to Ye Qing's side.

He was dressed in white, but his eyes were sunken, and he was holding a handkerchief in his hand, coughing from time to time.

He looked sickly.

"You were able to break through the first three levels so quickly. Among those at the late-stage Domain Lord realm, you must be among the strongest!" the person said. "Do you possess a unique trait?"

"Does that matter?" Ye Qing asked.

“It doesn’t matter!” the man said with a slight smile. “You seem unwilling to talk to me, which is your loss. However, I have a habit of shaking hands with people before engaging in combat.”

At this point, he extended a hand to Ye Qing.

Ye Qing looked at his hand and felt extremely uncomfortable. The man's hand was covered in a bluish-gray color, and he gave off an extremely unpleasant feeling.

"Are you disgusted with me?" the man asked.

Ye Qing shook his head. He didn't want to waste words with the other party. He just wanted to fight as soon as possible. This layer gave Ye Qing a feeling that was even worse than the feeling he got from the decaying characteristic.

Ye Qing walked over, raised his hand to shake the other person's hand, and said, "Can we start now?"

However, the moment Ye Qing touched it, he noticed a sinister smile on the other person's face as they said, "Little guy, we've been fighting ever since you entered this level. You're still too young!"

During the conversation, he grinned at Ye Qing.

He also emitted a strange, foul odor.

At the same time, Ye Qing clearly saw that his face began to slowly rot, with pustules appearing one after another. Then the pustules burst open, and some green liquid flowed out from them.

Seeing this scene, Ye Qing felt a churning in his heart, and he felt like vomiting!

But what shocked him most was that he felt weak all over, and he was unsteady on his feet.

"I already told you, the challenges are getting stronger with each level." The sickly man said, "The first level is the late stage of a domain lord with natural characteristics, the second level is rare characteristics, and the third level is the existence of dual cultivation of Dao and body."

"As for me, who is at the fourth level, the only way to be stronger than them is through unique traits!" The man smiled and said, "You don't seem to know much about unique traits!"

Ye Qing tried to break free, but the other person held his hand tightly!

Ye Qing felt as if he were dirty, as if something unclean was entering his body, making him feel extremely uncomfortable all over!

"My characteristic is called disease! Some people also call me 'pathogenic'!" Within my unique characteristic, with just a breath, the pollutants in my body—those viruses from ancient times—can instantly spread, wiping out the inhabitants of a city, or even an entire planet, overnight. He said to Ye Qing, "You've been infected with the virus!"

"You!" Ye Qing exclaimed in shock, "You're playing dirty tricks?"

"You're so young!" the man said with a slight smile. "It seems your time is about to end."

As he spoke, the pustules on his face burst even more violently.

……

Just as Ye Qing was getting into trouble, on the other side, on the first floor of the Inheritance Hall!

Cao Luo appeared on the first level, and the place where he was was a desert!

He was looking up at the sky.

At this moment, in the distance, the sand and dust churned, and a figure emerged from the sand and dust.

"This seems to be the inner world of a treasure?" Cao Luo wondered.

At this moment, a figure suddenly shot out from the sandstorm ahead, and a sandstorm that blotted out the sky swept towards Cao Luo!

"Certainly!"

Cao Luo spread his five fingers, and the space in front of him where the sandstorm was located seemed to be instantly bound.

"This is... a person?" Cao Luo asked, frowning.

"This is a historical projection!" a human face appeared and said.

“Historical projections shouldn’t look like this!” Cao Luo frowned. “They look like real people! Could they be mirror images?”
