Volume 5: The Ancient Glorious Empire Chapter 67: The Trial Ends
Not long ago, when the ancient beings were using various means to spy on the trial site, the three trial officials frowned.
"How brave!"
The burly Trial Officer Wei glared.
Kandra is known as the country without gods because they do not need to worship any gods; they themselves hold the power of gods.
If there hadn't been the evil god crisis, the Kandra Empire would have likely gone to war with the ancient gods. A war between man and god.
However, even though Trial Officer Wei was angry, he had no way to deal with the ancient gods who were spying on him.
They are just man-made secret spirits.
They do have extremely strong power in the trial land, but their ability to interfere with the outside world is very limited. Not to mention the ancient existence that spied on the trial land, which is the ninth and tenth realms that wield vast power and authority.
All the trial officer can do is lock the doors and windows of the entire secret realm to prevent the ancient beings from entering.
They were wondering whether or not to kick those reincarnated ancient gods out of the trial ground.
"In the past, some ancient gods fell at the hands of the evil god camp. They used the little power they had left to reincarnate. After reincarnation, they were no longer ancient gods, but humans, and they obtained admission tickets from other lower-level trial sites... Their identities and credentials were all in compliance, which is why we allowed these reincarnated ancient gods to enter."
Another reason is that the overall strength of human beings in this era is too weak, and their mission is to continue human heritage, so they turn a blind eye.
But now,
The three trial officers glanced at Lord Chi Tianzhu with excited expressions.
“That kicks them out hard.”
"That doesn't have to be the case."
Fang You stopped them.
A bold idea suddenly emerged in my mind.
This is a trial ground. Internally, the person who controls the secret realm has extremely strong ruling power. In this case...
"I understand now."
The three trial officers looked at each other.
This lord wants to use the hand of the ancient gods to stimulate mankind and make the humans of this era feel more of a sense of urgency. After all, what they are about to face is an indescribable evil god that is countless times more terrifying than the ancient gods.
Ranking high in the “Human Civil War” rankings is far from something to be complacent about.
As expected of this adult.
…
The strongest trial, the third level, there are only a hundred trial-takers who enter this place. Like the first level, they were born in different places.
A faint white halo lingered around them, with a countdown slowly ticking at the top.
"here it is……"
The space was disordered and chaotic, shattered like a mirror, forming a vast galaxy. Within the galaxy, there were surging gray storms and black gaps that opened and closed from time to time.
This place is like a piece of paper that has been constantly crumpled , wrinkled and full of cracks.
They, the trial-takers, are just insignificant insects on this piece of paper. If they are not careful, they will be mixed up and turned into minced meat.
“This is the High Void!”
A demigod has set foot in this space.
But this place is too dangerous. There is nothing here except space turbulence and annihilation storms. It is of no value.
Unless absolutely necessary and needing to travel urgently, demigods rarely set foot into this heavy space.
"This level of trial is also a big melee, but in this environment, the fighting method is very different from the first level. The real danger comes from the trial environment!"
"That is to say, the gap between myths and demigods will be greatly reduced, and personal combat wisdom will play a greater role in whether or not one can achieve victory."
"Also, your luck can't be too bad!"
The demigods and myths who set foot here quickly analyzed the situation and formed a rough strategy in their minds.
At this time, the countdown returned to zero, and the white halo surrounding the trial-takers suddenly disappeared.
A breeze with annihilating power blew across my face.
"Fuck!"
Shenhua was not careful for a moment and a hideous wound appeared on his cheek.
The gray wind almost pierced through his head.
The trial participants used all their abilities to dodge the torn space and annihilation storms.
But one trial participant was unlucky. The space where he stood was misaligned, and before he knew it, a thousand-foot-high gray storm arose from all directions.
The myth struggled only for a moment before being snuffed out by the storm, like a moth into a sea of fire.
There was a demigod who held up a Dharma image that reached the sky and penetrated the earth, but under the attack of the storm, the Dharma image was being worn away at a speed visible to the naked eye and could not hold out for long.
Some trial participants also used trenches to clear the way.
The demigod Xiguang threw out a precious palace-type magic weapon. He drove the magic weapon like a boat in a storm, but the boat would not be damaged.
He narrowed his eyes.
"Under such circumstances, it is not impossible to defeat a reincarnated ancient god who has eliminated a demigod."
On the surface, there are more than a dozen reincarnated ancient gods who have entered the trial ground. Their demise in their previous lives was not so complete, or they had some backup plans, so when they returned in this life, they already took control of the great power early.
Among them, the reincarnated ancient gods in the mythological realm and the demigod realm are roughly half and half.
In the first and second levels, the demigod Xiguang fought against the reincarnated ancient god. He was defeated in the second level.
"It's not heroic to attack a fellow human trial-taker. If you want to hunt, hunt down a stronger reincarnated ancient god!"
"Besides, the second level of the trial gives a ladder ranking. Hunting down the reincarnated ancient gods in the first tier of the demigod realm will earn you the most points."
"Killing one is enough to rank among the best!"
Someone is preparing to hunt down the strong.
Some people set their sights on the weak.
More trial participants continued to avoid space turbulence and struggled to familiarize themselves with the level environment.
Yi Luoxi and other Xinhuo myths came to the bizarre high void, and the situation was also very dangerous. However, they had experienced the high void environment in the battle tower before, so they calmed down after a while and shuttled through the gaps in the storm based on their experience.
This is not considered as special treatment by Master Fang. The high void is a common battlefield.
What are more familiar with this place than the Xinhuo myth are the reincarnated ancient gods.
They melted into the water like fish.
No matter how terrifying the annihilation storm was, it could not catch up with their sleeves.
Soon, battles among the trial participants broke out one after another.
A roar resounded throughout the trial field, and the turbulence in the space seemed to be swept away.
Countless tree roots stretched out from one point like tentacles, quickly spreading in all directions, one thousand meters, ten thousand meters, one million meters, one hundred million meters...
Countless roots began to spread out in all directions, as if forming a city.
Countless giant tree men in the city bent over and knelt on the ground, guarding the majestic figure sitting on the throne.
An ancient being shrouded in divine light, like ginseng.
"He is..."
"Lord of Ten Thousand Beards!"
A demigod exclaimed.
It is difficult to find any trace of this ancient being, but it seems that he has never perished, and has left behind many legends over the tens of thousands of years.
But why would an ancient being like the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards enter the trial ground?
It’s the ancient god’s plan!
At the most glorious moment of the Kandra Empire, even the sharp ancient gods had to avoid it. Don't these ancient beings envy the power of Kandra?
Must be jealous!
They sent out reincarnated ancient gods who met the requirements to compete for it, but they didn't expect that the ancient gods had a bigger appetite. They...
"What they want is not the ranking, nor the inheritance obtained through the rules. What they want is the entire secret realm, everything that Candela left behind!"
"This is outrageous!"
But the Wanxu City built by the Wanxu Lord was too brutal, and neither the space turbulence nor the annihilation storm could get close at all.
The giant tree men guarding the throne in the city possess the power of demigods.
There are dozens or even hundreds of them!
The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards, an ancient being, is enough to destroy all of their trial-takers.
Not to mention powerful human beings such as the Demigod Xiguang and the Demigod Huigang, even many reincarnated ancient gods had their expressions suddenly changed.
Their interests may not be the same as those of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards.
At this moment, another burst of dazzling divine light burst out.
An ancient being walked out from another part of the trial field.
The void continued to collapse, turning into complete nothingness. In this void, there was only one figure.
Wherever he looked, everything was destroyed.
"It's the Lord of Destruction!"
The myth of Dayi Luancheng pursed his lips.
This ancient being is one of the three ancient gods worshipped in their Dayiluan City.
However, the interests of the ancient gods and the human oasis are not unified. They are only in a cooperative relationship with the ancient gods, and they are at a disadvantage in the cooperation.
They did not want the relics of Kendela to fall into the hands of the ancient gods.
However, if one has to choose between the two, falling into the hands of the Lord of Destruction is stronger than falling into the hands of the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards.
But the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards and the Lord of Destruction are not the only ones coming.
In a moment, several ancient beings descended.
The Lava Volcano God, the Delusion Ice Crystal, the Bone Demon Lord...
These ancient beings, whether they are familiar to humans or very unfamiliar to them, the moment human strongmen see them, their respected names will involuntarily appear in the hearts of them.
They are ancient beings that possess the might of ancient gods and mysterious powers.
What makes the reincarnated ancient gods and ancient beings most fearful is an ancient being shrouded in endless light and only vaguely recognizable as a human-shaped shadow.
He stood at the top, casting an indifferent look.
"Lord of the Glory of the Million Lights!"
This is his honorific name.
A demigod who was well versed in history looked at this majestic figure and could not help but worship him. "He is the God of Light, one of the oldest beings in the Ancient God Era."
"Historical records show that he fell at the hands of the Dark Shadow. But as expected, it is not so easy for such a top ancient god to die. He has returned and is going to regain his former power!"
The Lord of Billions of Glory at this time seemed to be at the high level of the ninth realm.
But as soon as he appeared, he aroused strong fear from the Lord of Ten Thousand Beards, the God of Lava Volcano and other beings.
However, everyone was at the ninth level! In addition to recovering from their injuries, they had also been seeking breakthroughs over the past tens of thousands of years, while the billions of Lords of Glory had just returned from the long river of time.
Who is afraid of whom!
The battle for the top position broke out in an instant.
There are also ancient beings who, in their spare time from fighting, bestow some of their power upon human trial-takers.
The power of the laws of the reincarnated ancient god is just a bucket of water, a stream.
The power of the laws of these true ancient gods are like great rivers and lakes!
Endless roots took root in the entire void, as if to absorb nutrients from the entire trial secret realm, using it as a foundation to fight against everything.
The light in the sky fell like a streak of light, seemingly carrying beauty. One after another, the mythological trial participants shouted, threw themselves into the streak of light, and turned into light.
"Ancient God, high-ranking being!"
A human demigod clenched his fists.
The gap in power is too big.
Even though this was not the first time they had seen it, and even though they had some high-level power after taking charge of the ninth-level oasis, but...
The gap is still too big!
"It's not enough to just be in charge of the ninth-level oasis!"
"You must be promoted to a high position. Only those in high positions are eligible to compete!"
A demigod looked up at the majestic figure in the endless divine light. He licked his lips, and an incredible thought slowly emerged in his mind.
They want to kill God!
This is a place of trial, where there is no real death. If they still don't have the courage to fight against and kill the higher-ups here, then they will never have it in their lifetime!
You will never be promoted to a high position in your lifetime!
"Humans are not necessarily weaker than the ancient gods."
"war!"
"In the name of humanity!"
One after another, Dharma images that reached heaven and earth appeared.
They are extremely huge, but like fireflies, they rush towards the endless light.
After a while...
The waiting area of the trial ground.
“I’m back.”
"Is this... the true power of a high-ranking being? I've underestimated it."
There is a demigod whispering.
There is demigod bitterness.
There was also light in the eyes of some demigods, which was as hot as the sun.
“The high road, the high road…” doesn’t seem so far away anymore.
But for the myths, the high position is so far away that they can't even see its back.
What they want to know most at this time is:
"How is the trial calculated?"
"Who won the inheritance?"
"Are we the trialists or the ancient gods?"
There is a myth that speculates, "The trial ground follows the rules. As long as the final result is not that the secret realm is seized by the ancient gods, our trial will still count."
"According to the trial rules, the ranking is based on the results of the three levels. The third level may account for a relatively large proportion."
But the third level ended before they even had a chance to start.
No, not necessarily.
If there is no record, then look at performance and survival time.
Many myths were eliminated in the first round of high-ranking attacks, but many still survived. Some trialists even got kills during this period.
There were also demigods who brazenly rushed towards the high-level battlefield.
So, in this trial, who will get the top ten, top three, and first place?
Time is still passing.
In the waiting area, in this huge square, more and more trialists are withdrawing. Trialists who were eliminated in the second round are also here, waiting nervously and anxiously.
The Trial Square did not shake, and no majestic figure walked out.
This made the trial participants feel a little relieved.
After waiting for more than an hour, a mechanical reminder sounded in the trial participants' hearts.
The trial results are out!
Any trial participant who comes here will receive a basic gift package, which is very valuable, but the rewards obtained above this are the real treasures!
“Who got the top ranking?”
"Who has obtained the inheritance of the Nine Heavenly Pillars?"
Only you know the ranking on the list.
The trial participants began to exchange information with their acquaintances, but after searching for a long time, they could not find a single person who could rank among the top and inherit the nine pillars of heaven.
The inheritance of the Nine Pillars of Heaven not only means nine supreme inheritances, but also represents the identity of the legitimate successor of Kandra.
They are the ones who are qualified to obtain the relics of Kendela.
The Central Holy Court claims to be the successor of Candela, and they have indeed obtained a lot of Candela's technology and heritage. However, in front of the Nine Pillars of Heaven, they are nothing.
"No, I didn't find any."
The old Lord Chisha shook his head.
"Could it be that they were all taken by the reincarnated ancient gods?"
"It shouldn't happen, but we don't know what the ancient beings who forcibly entered the trial ground did."
"Perhaps, there are also powerful human beings who have inherited the legacy of a certain pillar, but they just haven't made it public."
But even so, ancient beings descended on the third level of the trial, and the strength of the reincarnated ancient gods was above theirs.
These guys are most likely to have obtained the valuable treasure!
“We have no way of knowing these, but at least, we have gained a lot of benefits.”
“As for the inheritance taken away by the ancient god, humph, I will find a way to take it back after I ascend to a higher position!”
A demigod snorted coldly before disappearing into the trial ground.
…
A secret place.
The ancient beings had long been expelled and repatriated, returning here several hours ago.
"I was careless. Lava Volcano has some power over me."
The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards shook his head. "The space in the Candela Trial Ground is even more peculiar. It seems real but not real, and fake but not fake... If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be so easily excluded. However, other old guys, including Billions of Glory, were also excluded and left. No one succeeded."
This also means that the plan to seize the trial site by trickery has failed.
Once again, it won't work.
The defense of the trial ground was much tighter than expected. The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards believed that if several different ancient gods had not attacked at the same time, they would not have been able to pry open a crack in the trial ground.
“But we have not completely failed.”
The Lord of Ten Thousand Beards and several other ancient beings turned their attention to the ancient gods who had reincarnated and returned.
The reincarnated ancient god had a gloomy face.
"The core heritage and the relics are not with us."
"It must have been obtained by someone from another pantheon."
…
Elsewhere, the Lava Volcano God scratched his shiny scalp.
"I failed, the rest is up to you."
"Oh, you didn't get the core inheritance either? That must be from Wanxu, Pomie, Guanghui or other old guys."
"We'll find out when we try it one day."
…
The third secret place.
The Lord of Stars' eyes reflected the stars in the sky, "As expected, the trial ground of Kendra is not that easy to invade."
"It's a bit surprising that the trialists we arranged for didn't get a high ranking."
"Who took it?"
The Lord of Stars, the Lord of the Moon, and the Great Sun God looked at the symbols of several other ancient pantheons and fell into deep thought.
…
"it's over."
"The ninth level ancient god who descended this time seems to be much stronger than the evil god servants such as Lord Yujin?"
"Is it that the ancient god is too powerful, or that the evil god's servants are too weak?"
"But the power of the evil god camp is theoretically far greater than that of the ancient gods."
Fang You pondered.
I looked at the glittering conceptual light balls again, and my mood suddenly became wonderful.
He gave Xiao Huan some authority over the battle tower.
Xiao Huan pounced towards the sparkling ball of light and got stuck in it, not wanting to get up.
Fang You asked her to clear out the light balls that involved the power of laws first.
[Concept Light Group (Law of Destruction·Small)]
[Concept Light Group (Law of Destruction, Part 2)]
[Conceptual light group...]
If the conceptual light group we got before was just a little water droplet, now it is a water ball, a bucket, and a water tank! The difference is immeasurable.
Fang You lightly touched one of them.
He seemed to have touched the core of the world, the origin of the universe.
The surging power of the laws exploded in his soul.
He did not absorb it recklessly. This was the pure law of destruction, containing an overbearing destructive force, but light could destroy, fire could destroy, and swords could also destroy.
He incorporated his own understanding into the process of absorption, making the law of destruction no longer pure, but more suitable for himself.
Fang You stretched out his hand.
In the palm of his hand, arcs of lightning flickered, turning from blue to purple, and then from purple to red.
It seems to contain a force that is more powerful than the thunder of the high-level void.
He called it: Thunder of Destruction.
"The trial has come to an end. It's time to see the true secrets of Kendra."
