Chapter 1277

The woman was a True Sage King level monster like Gu Ding when she was alive. Her cultivation was a Great Completion Lord-Level, two levels higher than Gu Ding. If she was at her peak, she could easily crush Gu Ding.

However, she had just woken up from a long slumber. She did not have perfect control over her body, and the God Source in her body was not running smoothly. She could not even use one percent of her strength, and she was not in combat mode at all.

When she attacked Gu Ding, she used almost all of her physical strength. Even so, her claw caused the space to tremble, and its power was quite terrifying.

Gu Ding did not dare to underestimate his opponent. He attacked the woman with all his might, and his heavy fist whistled through the air.

The heavy fist and the sharp claw collided, and there was an explosive roar. The entire palace began to shake from this collision.

Even though the woman was only using her physical strength, Gu Ding did not gain the upper hand.

"As expected, she's not willing to attack because she just woke up and is in an extremely weak state." Gu Ding was able to determine the condition of the woman's body and the conditions for her to wake up with just one blow. "The other corpses did not wake up because of the impact and the explosion. This means that the condition for them to wake up is to lose the funerary objects."

The woman's expression changed slightly when she saw Gu Ding looking around. She knew that Gu Ding already knew the conditions for the corpses to wake up.

"You can't do anything to me now. As long as you agree to the terms of the deal, I'll return your Storage Ring to you untouched, "Gu Ding suggested again.

He did not plan to stay in this strange crypt any longer. Who knew if something even stranger would happen if he stayed too long? He wanted to find an exit and leave as soon as possible.

"Alright."

The woman chose to compromise. She knew that it was unlikely for her body to recover in a short period of time. It would be difficult for her to take the ring back from Gu Ding. "I don't know if there's an exit on the next level, but I do know that you'll definitely die if you go down there."

"What's down there? Could it be even scarier than this level? "Gu Ding glanced around.

"I don't know. I only know that the Nether Temple exists to suppress the thing underground. Some say that it's a peerless ferocious beast, some say that it's a demon from purgatory, and some say that it's an undying vengeful spirit … As for what it is, no one knows, because those who have seen it are all dead, "the woman replied.

"You're already dead. Why are you still afraid of the things on the lower level?" Gu Ding asked, puzzled.

"Your definition of death is different from mine. Although I'm dead, I'm still existing as an undead. I've only transformed into a form of life. Undead creatures were not immortal. If we're killed, we'll also die, "the woman explained in a helpless manner.

"This battlefield is clearly a virtual one. People will be teleported out after they die. Why are there so many corpses buried here? Are you virtual life forms set up in this battlefield? "Gu Ding asked.

"What virtual battlefield?" the woman asked in confusion.

Only then did Gu Ding briefly explain what happened in the Hidden Dragon Battlefield.

After listening to him, the woman was silent for a long time. Then, she shook her head. "I don't know what's going on either. I did participate in the Hidden Dragon Battlefield to fight against the monsters. Later, I was killed by a lord on the battlefield. After that, I was buried here. When I first woke up, I realized that I'd become an undead. After that, I spent most of my time in a state of eternal sleep, only waking up occasionally. "

"Someone must have deliberately buried us here. We don't know who did it or what their purpose was. However, it's only here that we can exist in the form of undead. Once we leave, our bodies and souls will completely disintegrate, "the woman explained.

"So, some of you have gone out?" Gu Ding's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"Those who tried went out from the entrance on the first level that you came in from. We saw with our own eyes that after stepping out of the door, their bodies and souls quickly disintegrated, dying almost instantaneously. Some people went down to the third level, but none of them came back alive. "The woman's words made Gu Ding frown again.

"I understand. Thank you for the information," Gu Ding grinned at the woman. Gu Ding grinned at the woman. "One last question. Do you know where in this palace there are treasures?"

The woman looked at Gu Ding with some disdain, then shook her head. "No, this isn't a regular ruin. It's just an empty temple used to suppress the evil underground. Naturally, no one would put their treasures in a place like this …"

As soon as the woman finished speaking, she seemed to remember something. She casually picked up a few jade slips from the high platform and threw them to Gu Ding.

"These nine jade slips are the legacies of the nine of us. We can't leave, but we don't want the legacies to be broken. If you can really get out, help each of us choose a disciple with a better character. You can also learn some of the divine powers in these jade slips, but don't pass them on to others. "

"No problem. I've just established a Holy Land force in our dimension. I can help you select some suitable disciples and pass on the legacies," Gu Ding agreed readily. To him, it was a piece of cake.

The nine people on the high platform were all True Sage Kings. Their cultivations ranged from Perfected Lord-Level to Origin King Realm. Their legacies were bound to be amazing. Gu Ding also planned to refer to their legacies and learn a few more powerful divine powers.

After putting away the legacy jade slips, Gu Ding's eyes wandered around the rings on the hands of the few people.

Noticing his gaze, the woman said angrily, "You really don't give up. They're all stronger than me. If you take their things, no one will talk to you. Even if they're extremely weak, it won't be difficult for them to crush you. Give me back my ring! "

"A bunch of stingy people!" Gu Ding muttered under his breath, then flicked the storage ring out of the woman's hand.

Almost at the same time, he jumped onto the high platform and landed between the Origin King Level powerhouse and the other Seven Star Lord. His hands reached for the rings on both of their fingers.

As soon as he touched the rings, both of them woke up. The protective order power automatically spread out and sent Gu Ding flying.

Gu Ding spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air. He glanced at the two rings in his hands, then grinned and rushed toward the entrance of the next floor without looking back. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the second floor.

"That kid is really not afraid of death. He actually dared to take things from me!" The Seven Star Lord looked angry. Then, he turned to see the Lord King on his right staring at the back of his hand in a daze. "Boss, you were taken too?!"

"Yes, that little guy is quite skilled." After the Origin King finished speaking, he turned to look at the woman. "Little Seven, why are you awake too?"

Only then did the woman tell him about her encounter with Gu Ding.

"What a greedy kid. Not only is he not grateful after taking our legacies, he even took our belongings!" The Seven Star Lord was a little angry. "He won't be able to survive on the next floor. He took our legacies for nothing, and his storage rings are probably going to be lost down there …"

"If he can make it out, then the things in the ring will be the reward for our legacies. If he can't, we'll carve another legacy and wait for someone else to come. " The Origin King finished speaking and stretched. "Should I go back to sleep, or should I wake one more person up and make a table of mahjong … Wait, I forgot, my mahjong is in that ring …"

The other two looked at him, speechless.
