Chapter 1543
The tunnel had the same width as an air raid shelter . It was wide enough for a car to pass through, but that was about it . Every one mile, a beam of sunlight would bathe a portion of the tunnel from above . It made the place seem longer than it actually was, and it felt extremely weird .

After each checkpoint of light, the pressure permeating the atmosphere of the tunnel increased . The gemstone class creatures that were the heirs of super creatures could only make it through fourteen of those checkpoints . They were unable to go any further than that .
Looking down the tunnel from a distance, the pools of light looked like the illumination of street lamps, all the way down . There were nineteen of them in total .
Up until now, no one had been able to figure out what lay at the end of the Godlight Tunnel .
Even the creatures that leveled up to super while inside the tunnel were unable to reach the end of it .
( Boxno vel . co m ) Little Lion King followed along and said with a smile, “We met each other on the field of battle . Let’s encounter one-another again sometime . I am Little Jade Lion King of Lion Mountain . What is your name?”
“Han Sen . I’m human,” Han Sen answered . He still wasn’t fond of Little Jade Lion King, but it wasn’t as if he hated the lion’s guts . He wasn’t entirely against having a conversation with him .
As Han Sen and Little Lion King spoke, Yu Miao stared at them coldly . She despised Han Sen .
And as they were having their discussion, someone else entered Godlight Tunnel . Han Sen thought it was just some creature or spirit, but it was in fact Six Paths .

Yu Miao’s heart jumped when she saw Six Paths . Six Paths Emperor wouldn’t hand over a geno core, and if Han Sen had any form of conflict with the spirit, she believed Six Paths would kill him with ease .
Yu Miao, who was going to continue following, stopped where she was for a spell . She waited for Six Paths to catch up and see if a conflict between the two would break out .
“Sister, Six Paths Emperor is here . I’m not sure Han Sen knows who he is . If he doesn’t, given Six Paths’ personality, a fight is sure to break out . ” Yu Xuan told Yu Miao giddily, in hushed excitement . He was thinking along the same lines .
Six Paths soon approached Han Sen, and crushing the expectations set by Yu Miao and Yu Xuan, Six Paths spoke to the human like an old friend . He asked, “Why are you here?”
“I’m in God’s Ruin . How could I not spare the time to visit the Godlight Tunnel?” Han Sen smiled .
Six Paths nodded and said, “Good timing, then . Now we can compete and see which of us can walk the farthest in this Godlight Tunnel . ”
Yu Miao and Yu Xuan wore strange expressions . They hadn’t expected Han Sen to be personally acquainted with Six Paths Emperor . And again, knowing Six Paths personality to be what it was, it was perplexing to see him address Han Sen as if he was addressing an equal . They were flat-out shocked .
Little Jade Lion King, seeing Han Sen talk to Six Paths Emperor like his buddy, had an even greater admiration for the human . He thought to himself, “It’s no wonder he is so strong . To kill Goddess as he pleases, he must indeed be quite the character . Before Six Paths Emperor self-destructed, he was more famous than my father . If Han Sen can talk to him like a friend, then Han Sen really must be strong . ”

Six Paths wasn’t an avid talker, though, and after a few brief verbal exchanges, he went ahead and focused on getting deeper into the Godlight Tunnel .
Han Sen, Queen, Tang Zhenliu, and Little Lion King followed .
Bao’er was in Han Sen’s arms, and Starsea Beast was following behind Han Sen . Little Silver was on the big creature’s head, staring at the light up ahead .
The light sources above were like small suns, and they managed to light up the tunnel rather well . The first curtain of light fell on Han Sen, draping him with what felt like water . The light was tangible .
But the feeling was not heavy, and it did not feel burdening .
Everyone walked through the first curtain of light with ease . But after passing through the light, the gravity felt much heavier . Still, it did not slow them down or affect their passage too much .
They continued walking until they reached the fifth curtain of light . There, Tang Zhenliu could not take the pressure of what came next . His entire body was wet with sweat, and it felt as if he was carrying the whole weight of a mountain . It took a lot of effort just to make one step .
Of course, he only had a bronze geno core . His fitness and geno core level were still very weak, so it was fairly impressive he had managed to make it that far .

“Can you still go on?” Han Sen asked Tang Zhenliu .
“It’s okay . I can keep going . I must make it to the sixth, at least . ” Tang Zhenliu gritted his teeth .
Han Sen didn’t say anything . He just walked by Tang Zhenliu’s side . The pressure there was of no bother to Han Sen .
Tang Zhenliu could see everyone else walking forward freely, and he even saw Little Silver lying on Starsea Beast’s head in a relaxed posture as if there wasn’t a single ounce of additional atmospheric pressure . He sighed and thought to himself, “Han Sen’s companions are so scary . How long will it take me to catch up to his level?”
Tang Zhenliu did not want to give up, and onwards he continued . He eventually ended up far behind the others, as his pace was extremely slow . His muscles tightened, as if they were going to tear through his clothes at any given moment .
Han Sen didn’t make it obvious that he was deliberately watching the man struggle as he was, but he did keep an eye on how he was doing . If it was becoming too much, and Tang Zhenliu could no longer stay upright against the gravity, Han Sen would take him out of the tunnel before he collapsed and died there .
Surprisingly, as hard it was for him, he managed to hold on strong . And when he almost reached the sixth light, his very bones began to creak . His entire skeleton sounded as if it was going to break .
Boom!
When Tang Zhenliu stepped into the wash of the sixth light, his entire body glowed with the color silver . It looked as if his geno core had managed to reach silver class .
Yu Miao and Little Lion King looked at him . Although it was not a rare thing to level up in the Godlight Tunnel, simply being able to meant he was talented .
Tang Zhenliu was tired, so he sat down and stopped moving forward . His geno core leveled up, but his body didn’t . His body could not take any more pressure, either . He couldn’t walk an inch further .
“I can’t walk . You guys go ahead and I’ll wait here . ” Tang Zhenliu spoke in between deep gasps .
Han Sen nodded as he went on alongside Queen .
When they reached the ninth curtain of light, it was Queen’s turn to have difficulty . And when she reached the tenth curtain of light, Queen’s body began to slow and her geno core leveled up .
“Godlight Tunnel gives the opportunity to level up a geno core, but the other creatures and spirits don’t show any changes . Tang Zhenliu and Queen both leveled up . Is this just coincidental, or is there a reason for this?” Han Sen wondered .
