Douluo Continent: Ultimate Ice Light, Starting with God-Level Dual Martial Souls

Chapter 58 Guangyu and Qianrenxue join forces to bravely venture into Death Valley
When Guangyu and the others arrived, the guards immediately made way for them.

The Third Elder, Azure Phoenix Douluo, said, "Young Master, Guangyu, you will need to traverse Death Valley within fifteen days along a special route. Along the way, there will be numerous markers symbolizing our Spirit Hall, which will guide you in the right direction."

"Qianjun, the Demon-Slaying Offering will be waiting for you at the end, while Guangling and I will follow you secretly the whole way. Unless you give up the trial on your own, we will not appear even if you encounter the most dangerous forbidden area."

"Understood." Guangyu and Qianrenxue nodded solemnly.

"Your challenge has now begun!"

"Remember, you have fifteen days to cross Death Valley. If you fail to reach the finish line within fifteen days, you will be considered to have failed."

As he spoke, the four great shrines vanished instantly.

Only Guangyu and Qianrenxue remained, standing in front of the enormous canyon passage.

They stood side by side.

"Sister Xue'er, it's about to begin."

"Well, it's begun."

"Let's get through this together. No matter how many difficulties and challenges we encounter along the way, we'll overcome them one by one, right?"

"of course."

The two looked at each other and finally took a step.

Together they rushed into Death Valley, beginning their journey of trials.

"set off!"

They will join hands to bravely venture into Death Valley.

Despite the scorching heat, a cool breeze swept over them as soon as they entered. The two proceeded cautiously, not daring to let their guard down, even though they were currently in the outer area.

Because along this training route, there are not only dangers from the environment and spirit beasts, but also numerous traps and dangers set up by the Spirit Hall.

Guangyu and Qianrenxue never know when they might enter a dangerous situation, so they must remain on high alert.

After crossing the intersection and entering the area, the two arrived at a rather narrow canyon road.

Both sides are high mountain walls, less than fifty meters wide but more than five hundred meters long, and they must pass through them.

Guangyu had already sensed the danger and warned, "Sister Xue'er, there might be danger here. Be careful."

"Ah."

Both of them unleashed their longswords and advanced.

Sure enough, the mechanism activated the next second.

Suddenly, a large number of arrows shot out from the arms of the two mountains.

shhhhhh!
"coming!"

"careful!"

The two quickly dodged and blocked all the incoming arrows, but they discovered that these arrows were not just in one wave, but came in a continuous stream.

"Sister Xue'er, charge out!"

"it is good!"

The two worked together to rush forward quickly, demonstrating their agility and reflexes while cooperating to defend themselves.

It took a full five minutes to cross this 500-meter-long canyon road riddled with hidden arrows.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

The two were slightly out of breath.

"Seriously? They're going this big right from the start? This is just the beginning!"

Qian Renxue said with a solemn expression: "This wave has exhausted a lot of our strength. We can't rush the next step in Guangyu. If our physical strength and soul power are greatly depleted, we must stop and rest appropriately."

"Ah."

The two exchanged a glance and continued on their way.

There are almost no powerful soul beasts when you first enter, but you will be attacked by low-level insect soul beasts from time to time. Most of these insects suddenly emerge from underground to attack.

Although not strong, they could easily be ambushed if they weren't careful. But these were minor issues; the real problem was that the man-made traps and obstacles along the way were far more numerous than they had imagined.

Guangyu and Qianrenxue fought their way through the trials, but each time they were nearly exhausted by their physical and spiritual strength, forcing them to stop and recover for extended periods.

This severely delayed the progress of the project.

In three full days, they had already covered a third of the distance.

They seem to have plenty of time, but the first part might be the easiest, because they have already entered the inner perimeter of Death Valley.

We have now arrived at a desolate wasteland.

Here, Guangyu unexpectedly saw a large number of human skeletons, broken weapons, and armor, which were almost everywhere in this wasteland.

It's as if an entire army was wiped out here.

"What's going on? Why are there so many human remains and broken weapons in Death Valley?" Guangyu asked, somewhat puzzled.

Qian Renxue said, "I remember now. Historical records state that about five hundred years ago, a duke attempted a rebellion but was ultimately defeated. The duke led five thousand soldiers into Death Valley, where they all died."

"The human remains here should be those of the five thousand soldiers of that duke back then."

"They probably encountered some terrifying gregarious spirit beasts here and were all killed."

Looking at the scene before him, Guangyu could imagine how desperate the army must have been. He couldn't help but shake his head: "Soul beasts eat people. It would have been better to be killed by the Imperial Army than to die at the hands of a group of soul beasts. They must have died a terrible death."

Guangyu and Qianrenxue advanced through a pile of wreckage and broken weapons.

Danger soon struck again!
Suddenly, the soft ground turned into a large amount of quicksand, and one after another, scorpions with cultivation levels exceeding a hundred years emerged from the sand.

Their numbers number in the hundreds, with dozens of them having cultivated for over a thousand years.

"Not good! This is a swarm of bone-armored venomous scorpions, a type of soul beast with extremely strong defensive capabilities!"

"We're surrounded!"

"Sister Xue'er, charge out!"

The two quickly released their martial spirits and engaged in a fierce battle with the scorpion swarm.

But these scorpion swarms seemed to be under the command of a leader, and the continuous surge made it difficult for them to break through the encirclement.

"There must be a scorpion king commanding them, otherwise these scorpions wouldn't be so orderly!" Qian Renxue killed a scorpion with her sword and shouted, "Guangyu! Can you find those scorpion kings?"

"Let me try!"

"Open your mind's eye!"

Guangyu's left eye, now a blue pupil, appeared, allowing him to see through the entire area. He then spotted a giant scorpion, over two meters long, located two meters underground in the distance.

That's the Scorpion King!
His cultivation level has reached ten thousand years!

"Found it! It's a ten-thousand-year-old scorpion king! About eighty meters away at the nine o'clock position!"

"Alright! Guangyu! Clear the way, I'll take it down in a second!" Qian Renxue said.

"Alright! Ice God Bow!"

Guangyu instantly switched martial souls and raised the Ice God Bow: "Extreme Ice Arrow Rain!!"

"die!!"

Bang bang bang!

A large number of century-old bone-armored venomous scorpions were instantly killed, and Qian Renxue rushed forward immediately: "Fifth Soul Skill, Divine Sword!!"

"die!!"

The sacred fire condensed into a ten-meter-long giant sword, which Qian Renxue then used to slash directly at the Scorpion King's location.

The Scorpion King had no idea its location would be discovered, and immediately tried to defend itself, but was still cut in two by Qian Renxue's sword!

Puff~
With the Scorpion King dead, the remaining scorpions quickly scattered.

Crisis resolved.

"It seems that the army of five thousand men back then probably died at the hands of these bone-armored scorpions." Qian Renxue withdrew her power and then said, "Guangyu, let's go. Let's cross this wasteland and find a place to rest."
