Chapter 182: The fisherman's benefit

The demons themselves were already hard to deal with and now that they had gathered together, they were even stronger. Even the light mirror could no longer deal with them.

How should they fight against it?

The countless octopus like energy arms of the demon began to extend in all directions. An energy that seemed like it could sweep the whole world filled the entire main hall.

A terrifying energy was being concentrated inside the monster.

"This is bad!"

"It seems like it wants to use a trick!"

Chu Tian was calm as ice as his brows knit together with thought. This monster already had overwhelming might that an Awakened Soul Cultivator could not deal with. Now it even had this undying power that negated all attacks, even negating the light beam.

This monster was basically invincible!

But this defied all logic.

The trial space would never create a problem that could not be solved, so right now he had not found the answer yet. Chu Tian released his Divine Sense and scanned the nearby mirrors. A thought appeared in his mind as if he had just understood something.

Raising his right hand.

The mirror was turned around several degrees.

Pa!

The light beam shined onto a normal mirror and was reflected back at a ninety degree angle, slamming into the demon. A large amount of blue smoke appeared as the giant demon roared before moving back several steps.

"I understand now!" Chu Tian could clearly see the secret to this room now, "The main mirror's light is the weakest and after each reflection, it gets a bit stronger. If we can continuously reflect it around on the mirrors, then its final strength will be great enough to defeat it."

Nangong Yun and Yun Yao were stunned.

This difficulty was too high since the mirrors were randomly distributed. If it was just a single reflection then it was possible to do, but how hard was it to control a beam that was reflected several times and make it perfectly hit the demon?

Chu Tian released his Divine Sense to cover all the ancient mirrors, "Help me stall for some time!"

"Alright!"

Yun Yao and Nangong Yun controlled their puppets to dash in different directions, attracting the demon's attention.

Chu Tian controlled the mirror with his Divine Sense. He was happy that the demon's body was big, so it didn't have to be too accurate. Just a rough reflected angle would be enough to hit it.

There were several ancient mirrors that began to change angles.

The beam came from the main mirror and reflected off the first ancient mirror to the second to the third...It went on like this for about ten times before becoming even more dazzling. It was like a high energy beam of light that slammed into the demon's chest.

The demon gave a pitiful cry before the black fog dissipated and it returned to its original form.

"An opening!" Chu Tian laughed, "Quick! Take care of it!"

The little fox sucked in, taking in less than half of the demon's body. Nangong Yun and Yun Yao controlled their puppets to charge forward. With those destructive fists shooting forth, the demon was shattered to pieces.

Even if the monster were stronger, being restricted by the strong light like this and being besieged like this, it could clearly not hold on. It gave a pitiful cry before being destroyed.

"You have killed the Protector of the Mirror! You have been awarded sixty trial points!"

Chu Tian alone earned sixty trial points!

The little fox, Nangong Yun, and Yun Yao had also participated in the fight and it was unknown how many points they received. Just from this point, it was clear just how strong this monster was!

There were still a few remaining demons in the hall.

"Light, light!" Nangong Yun quickly shouted, "Shine it on them!"

Chu Tian turned the mirror and the light beam swept over. The demons were forced back to their original forms and the little fox made its move, killing all of them!

Yun Yao and Nangong Yun let out a long sigh of relief.

They could not believe everything that had just happened.

They could not believe that there was such a terrifying monster!

All of this was accomplished by Chu Tian. If it weren't for Chu Tian's strong judgement and insight, not to mention the formed giant demon, even the normal demons would have completely exterminated them!

Chu Tian was too strong!

Was he still a human?

Perhaps there was nothing in this world that could baffle him!

Nangong Yun was filled with worship towards Chu Tian. Even the stubborn and arrogant Yun Yao could not help being filled with awe towards this young man.

The two of them were about to express their feelings, but they had no time to say anything.

At that moment.

Whistling sounds came from the corridor, and dozens of golden treasure swords flew past them, landing on the mirrors around Chu Tian and turning them in different directions.

These were all mirrors that Chu Tian had changed, allowing him to redirect the beam of light. Now that they had been disrupted, it was clear that someone was trying to reduce Chu Tian's attack strength!

"Your luck is quite good!" From the end of the hall, someone's cold laugh sounded, "Actually finding these powerful puppets and even defeating the demons of the center palace! It was a good thing that you arrived here first, otherwise we might not have been able to deal with those monsters!"

This is bad!

It's Chu Xinghe and the others!

Because of Chu Tian, Chu Xinghe and the others had entered a temporary alliance.

These three people were quite strong, especially Chu Xinghe who was close to the 5th Awakened Soul Layer. With this deep cultivation base, he even had the ability to fight those strong giant guards!

Now that he had Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang as support, no matter how many labourers there were, it would not be a threat to them. The three of them could even easily kill a large group of them. Facing a terrifying monster like the giant guards, they could still at least preserve their own lives.

It was because of this.

The three of them were able to smoothly reach this point.

When the saw Chu Tian control the puppet and the mirror while fighting in the main hall, they were completely shocked by Chu Tian's techniques.

Even Chu Xinghe would not be able to do this.

After all, it did not just need strength, but also required great wisdom!

Ye Tianlang and Luo Xianglong wanted to sneak attack Chu Tian, but Chu Xinghe stopped them. The three of them had been watching the whole time, waiting for both sides to be injured.

Now!

It was the time to come out and reap the benefits!

Nangong Yun angrily shouted, "I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find you, but I never thought that you would come out to meet your death. Since it's like this, then taste this old lady's might!"

When she finished speaking.

She manipulated the damaged puppet to fight them.

Chu Tian however knit his brows, "Nangong, wait!"

Chu Xinghe was not an idiot, rather he was the opposite. This person's thoughts were refined and very calm, this kind of person was hard to deal with.

He had been observing for so long, so it was impossible for him to not know the puppet's strength and to understand the current situation. If he did not have 100% confidence in winning, then Chu Xinghe would not have made a move with his personality.

Chu Tian's side had already been heavily injured after the fight!

Even if they had several puppets left, they wouldn't be that strong.

The puppets had power close to the True Soul Realm, but they were heavily injured and could no longer use that might. Then again, the three of them were experienced fighters, so would they go all out against the puppets? They would directly kill Chu Tian and the others!

With their strength, this could be easily accomplished!

Other than that, Chu Tian could find the giant puppets from the giant's labyrinth, so Chu Xinghe's group could have also run into some fortuitous encounters!

So if they did not have a 100% confidence in this fight.

The three of them would not have come out!

If they fought now, Chu Tian's group would definitely be defeated!

Yun Yao was clear on these problems and she understood Chu Xinghe's strength more than Chu Tian and Nangong Yun's. Even if she did not fear Ye Tianlang or Luo Xianglong, this person was strong enough to pose a threat to them.

His inherited sword art was just too strong!

Before they could even control the puppets, they would be instantly killed!

Chu Tian's mind quickly paced and he immediately thought of an idea, "Since you have the ability to come here, then that means you also have a map! I think you guys know that this is the core of the giant's labyrinth! The majority of the treasures buried in the trial space is here!"

"So what!" Luo Xianglong gave a cold laugh as he said, "We'll take care of you pieces of trash first and then search for the treasure!"

Chu Tian said with a taunting look, "The treasure room opening is related to the mirrors and is quite hard to figure out. You couldn't even solve the cube puzzles and you want to solve the treasure room's secret? Isn't this the dream of a fool?!"

He was clearly looking down on them!

The three young masters' hearts fill with rage!

But Chu Tian was right. They could not even solve the cube puzzle, so how could the open the legendary secret stash?

"Bullshit!" Ye Tianlang hated Chu Tian to the depths of his bones and his killing intent was released as he shouted, "So what if we can't get the buried treasure? Stop trying to stall for time! I will take you dog life now!"

Cheng!

A golden treasure sword appeared in front of Ye Tianlang.

Ye Tianlang's face fell, "Chu Xinghe, what are you doing!"

Chu Xinghe ignored Ye Tianlang and coldly asked, "Can you open the treasure stash?"

"I don't know, but if we're talking about who can open the treasure stash, other than me, who has the qualifications to do so!"

In terms of knowledge!

Chu Tian was peerless!

Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang both had impatient appearances, they did not care about the hidden stash at all!

Killing Chu Tian, crippling him, and sending him out was worth more than this illusory hidden stash!

Who knew whether or not he was just speaking nonsense and stalling for time?

Chu Xinghe asked, "How long?"

Chu Tian replied, "Around an hour!"

"Chu Xinghe, can't you see it yet? This sly bastard is just stalling for time!" Ye Tianlang resolutely argued, "We can't fall for his tricks! No one has been able to open the hidden stash, so why would you believe that he could?"

"They are just pieces of trash, what are you scared of?" Chu Xinghe gently snapped his fingers and the golden treasure swords floated out around him, "My swords can instantly kill them, so we'll give them a bit of time!"

Chu Xinghe's confidence was not without reason.

The puppets Chu Tian controlled could not compare with the giant guards and they had been seriously injured, so their defense had dropped. If they were to fight, Chu Xinghe was confident in winning. Moreover, Chu Xinghe's «Imperial Sword Dragon Transforming Art» was ever changing and was more than enough to kill the three of them!

Not to mention the three puppets not reaching the True Soul Realm, even if they were at the True Soul Realm or beyond that, if the controller died, what use did they have?

Chapter 183: The hidden door

Chu Tian and Chu Xinghe had their own grudge. Chu Tian needed a bit of time. If he could have time to make preparations, then he would be able to create a method of fighting back.

Chu Xinghe's strength was an undeniable fact! Even those at the same level would be killed by a single slash from Chu Xinghe. That experience was the first time that Chu Tian had suffered heavy losses at the same cultivation level since coming to this era!

Chu Xinghe was so strong even after suppressing his cultivation base. His true cultivation base was close to the 5th Awakened Soul Layer which was an overwhelming superiority. As the head of the Four Young Masters, even the three other young masters added together would not be able to beat him!

The only chance was the strength of the light mirror!

If he could gain control of the light mirror and use that powerful light beam, then he would be able to fight Chu Xinghe!

But how could the calm Chu Xinghe not see through Chu Tian's intentions? He was just confident that Chu Tian would not have an opportunity to do anything. With the swords flying over Chu Tian's head, if he made any strange moves, then he would be instantly killed! There was no chance for him to do anything at all!

Chu Xinghe was different compared to Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang.

They only thought of using their strength. No matter how deep the grudge between Chu Tian and the Chu Family had, he could throw it all aside for now. Compared to those family grudges, he was more interested in the hidden treasure of the trial space!

If he could obtain the hidden treasure!

He would have endless wealth, resources, and cultivation techniques!

Chu Xinghe's strength and influence would inevitably increase by a step!

To a person like Chu Xinghe, family, friends, and family pride was not worth anything. In order to become stronger, he did not hesitate to pay any price, all in order to increase his personal strength.

Chu Tian was the only person that could open the hidden treasure stash!

Chu Xinghe suppressed the impulse to kill him and ignored Ye Tianlang and Luo Xianglong's protests. He would give Chu Tian an hour to try and fulfill his promise!

Nangong Yun and Yun Yao looked at each other in blank dismay.

The current situation looked very terrible. Chu Tian had mediated a bit more time for them to survive, but what use was that? It was impossible for them to fight the other side, so would they really have to help them open the treasure stash! They might as well take this chance to take themselves out!

Chu Tian!

What are you thinking!

Chu Xinghe was already strong enough and if he could practice the secret of the trial tower, who would be able to compete with him in Central State?

Chu Tian told the two of them to ignore it and began to study the mirrors of the treasure room. In total, there were over three hundred large mirrors. Although they seemed to be randomly distributed, they were placed with some kind of pattern. Chu Tian believed that if he saw through the pattern, he would be able to open the door to the treasure room.

What was the pattern though?

The light was the real key to open the treasure room door.

Chu Tian stood by the main mirror and his eyes stared at the light coming from it. After thinking about it for a long time, a light shined in his mind…..Was it like that?

Chu Tian looked down to look at the ground below his feet.

There were runes densely engraved onto the main hall floor.

These runes were very random and there were meaningless ancient rune engraved that meant nothing to normal people, but Chu Tian could understand it!

These runes seemed to be the basis of an array!

With the runes forming a source energy array on the ground, the function of the light became clear. The light from the mirror could be used to form an array!

The light was used to complete the incomplete array on the ground!

Chu Tian needed to adjust the light mirror and place it in the right position!

The beam of light being continuously reflected would form a perfect array design and could be used together with the main hall runes to form an array!

Using the mirror as a pen and the light as ink!

This would form an unbelievable giant array!

The light was the key, the key to opening the treasure room door!

Just learning how to use it was already an incredibly hard question…..Unbelievable, unthinkable!

This kind of process had never been heard of before. The designer of trial space was definitely not an ordinary person!

A small trial would be used to train the younger generation, so why would it use such a complicated array? To be able to solve this difficult question, one needed to be highly skilled in source energy arrays. This kind of skill was impossible to appear in the younger generation!

No wonder it was able to become an eternally lost problem!

This was a little challenging!

I like this!

After Chu Tian came to this era, the challenges he met were all too easy. This was the first time he had found something interesting, so how could he not be happy? However, the greater the difficulty, the greater the reward. While Chu Tian could open the treasure stash, it was hard to guarantee if he could keep it!

Chu Xinghe and the others were also eyeing it!

If he opened the treasure stash and did not obtain it, but rather gave it to these three, then Chu Tian would be losing a lot!

Then he would fight for it!

Chu Tian could feel the suspended treasure swords and he suddenly steeled his heart. With this giant array, he had a 30% assurance in killing them. So now they just had to see who could act faster.

While Chu Tian was adjusting the mirror and preparing to fight back.

Suddenly roars came from the two passages to from both sides of the treasure room. There were large groups of monsters that were charging in through the corridors.

Chu Tian knit his brows, "Block them for me! I can't be disturbed while breaking through this array!"

Chu Xinghe revealed a cold smile. How could he not see through Chu Tian's intentions? Chu Tian was sending them away so he could have time to prepare himself.

No problem!

Let him prepare himself!

As long as he can open the treasure stash, with his abilities, how could he fight me?

Now was not the time to fight one another. If the monsters charged over, then they would all be finished. Because there were two corridors, Chu Xinghe's group guarded one while Nangong Yun's group guarded the others. Both sides had a silent understanding.

"What is Chu Tian thinking!" Yun Yao had a confused look, "If we can't obtain the treasure stash, we definitely cannot allow them to obtain it!"

Nangong Yun walked while knitting her brows. Then she said, "Boss definitely has an idea! I understand him! Without any assurance, he would not make a move!"

"That is because he doesn't understand!" Yun Yao had a serious look on her face, "He has completely underestimated the enemy. There's nothing to worry about with Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang, but Chu Xinghe is not someone we can fight with!"

"Is Chu Xinghe really that strong?"

"Let's look at it like this, if he was to fight me and Chu Xinghe went all out, I would be defeated in one hit and be killed in three hits!"

Nangong Yun trembled.

Killed in three hits?

Yun Yao had the same title as Chu Xinghe as well as the Soul Contracting Weapon, the Thunder Spirit Bead, but she couldn't block a single move from Chu Xinghe? Just how strong was he!

The fights at both corridors began.

Chu Tian released his spiritual energy and gathered over three hundred mirrors with dozens more on the roof and walls.

Most of the light mirrors could rotate three hundred and sixty degrees!

Most of the light mirrors could reflect light at a ninety degree incline!

Each light mirror had to be perfectly in place and placed in an exact angle. It had to guarantee that the light beam would shine in order, hitting one mirror after the other!

No mistakes, no chaos.

It was an incredibly harsh condition!

Only doing this would open the treasure stash!

Was this a very difficult thing to do? It was not something a person could accomplish!

Chu Tian did not have a lot of time because he had to finish this within a two hour time period. This meant that he had to do it in one try and not make a single mistake.

If he made even a single mistake!

It meant that he would have to start over!

Would Chu Tian have that kind of time?

Not to mention if Chu Xinghe would give him time, the trial spaces strengthened monsters would arrive at this spot and they definitely would not give Chu Tian any time!

There was no room for compromise!

This had to be done in one fell swoop or everything would go to waste!

While Chu Tian was facing this difficult mirror distribution problem, his heart was beating fast. He did not have any fear at all, rather he was filled with excitement.

There was no doubt.

This was truly an eternally lost problem!

Although he did know who placed it in the trial space, no one should have solved this difficult problem yet since ancient times and that it would definitely open a shocking secret!

Don't disappoint me!

Chu Tian ignited his Mind's Lamp and released his Divine Sense. Just like a ray of light, it spread in all directions and covered the several hundred mirrors.

The position, angle, and row position of each mirror as well as every detail of the main hall, they all appeared in Chu Tian's mind.

This kind of wide area and coverage of every angle was something that the Mind's Eye could not accomplish. If Chu Tian did not ignite his Mind's Lamp on the way, he would not have had a method to accurately grasp the details of the mirrors and the layout of the main hall.

However, the Mind's Lamp had his consciousness as a base and his spiritual energy as fuel!

Although its range was very wide, it expanded Divine Sense too quickly. Although Chu Tian's spiritual strength increased, it was not enough to support igniting the Mind's Lamp for long periods of time. If he continuously expended his spiritual power like this, he might cause permanent damage to himself!

"Let's begin!"

Chu Tian spent a while looking at the mirror distribution. The location, distribution and angle of each of the over three hundred mirror was very clear to him. At this moment Chu Tian released his Divine Sense.

The little fox called out in surprise a few times.

Several mirrors near him began to rotate like an invisible hand was moving them right now.

The nearest row of mirrors turned around.

The second row began to move.

The third, fourth, and fifth...

Chu Tian used his Divine Sense to move the objects and perfectly position the mirrors. He moved the mirrors from disorderly into a formation that was as densely packed as a constellation.

This process was not that easy.

Chu Tian Divine Sense was still weak even after reaching the "Mind's Lamp" level, so this was a very challenging project for him.

When half of the mirrors were moved.

Peng!

The Mind's Lamp was extinguished!

It fell into darkness!

Chu Tian did not have enough spiritual energy!

When Chu Tian was in trouble, the little fox rolled its clear as crystal stone eyes. It suddenly closed its eyes and a seal appeared on its forehead. A stream of invisible power suddenly flowed into Chu Tian's body.

"Yi?"

"This strength is…..The little fox's Divine Sense?" Chu Tian found it hard to believe, "This little fellow's Divine Sense is not weak!"

Chu Tian did not know what method this little fellow was using to share his Divine Sense with Chu Tian, but this was the strength that Chu Tian needed now.

After the Mind's Lamp was extinguished, with Divine Sense being forced in again, it was reignited and covered the entire main hall with its glow!

The array had been complete!

Chu Tian revealed a faint smile and rubbed the little fox's head, "Many thanks!"

The little fox looked a little exhausted, but it gave a few excited shouts, "Open the array already!"

This little fellow was weakened, but it was impatient to see what kind of result would come from this unprecedented array.

Chu Tian nodded, "Don't be anxious. This is only the beginning!"

Chu Tian walked beside the purple gold framed main mirror. Whether this succeeded or not, this would be decided in one fell swoop!

Holding it with his right hand, he adjusted the main mirror and a bright beam of light shined out. It fell onto the first mirror and was reflected to the second, then to the third...

How fast was the light going to become?

The giant light mirror array filled the entire room with light!

The fast moving beam of light was like the symbol array master's ink. Every time the light was reflected, the thickness and angle were all perfect. It reached the stage of being incredibly harsh.

Finally!

A giant eight sided light array crashed down on the ancient trial space!

When the runes on the ground were imbued with energy, they floated into the air. Countless ruins were gathered together into a single point and formed into a ray of light!

An ancient strength came from above the main hall!

An ancient strength spread through history to dominate the world, but it was a silent strength. It contained the laws of heaven and earth, filling everyone with awe and making them tremble!

Chapter 184: Decisive battle with Chu Xinghe

The monsters that came in waves felt a deep power come over them, and as if there was a conscious deterrent, they all left with a loud roar.

"Why did all the monsters disappear!"

"Did Chu Tian succeed?!"

"Let's go and see!"

Nangong Yun and Yun Yao brought their scarred puppets back into the main hall. There were countless ruins glowing like falling stars as they moved to the same position, forming a spider's web behind them as they came together. Finally a giant light door condensed. It was twenty feet tall, with a dignified appearance, looking very magnificent.

"You have opened the treasure room's door!"

"You have been awarded two hundred trial points!"

The moment that Chu Tian had solved the light mirror puzzle to open the treasure room's door, the jade token in front of his chest began to change as two hundred points were added to his total!

This was the highest award given since entering the trial!

This meant that opening the treasure room was around ten times more difficult than solving the cube puzzle!

Chu Tian had really succeeded! This secret that had been in the Central State Tower for all these years had finally been solved by Chu Tian. The two of them had not reached the main hall yet.

Chu Tian did not let out a sigh of relief because the truly troublesome matter was just beginning!

"Come in quickly you two!"

Chu Tian saw that Nangong's group came back and quickly beckoned to her. Who would have thought that at this time, three streaks of golden light would appear in the main hall!

"Be careful!"

Chu Tian's warning came too late.

Those three gold treasure swords seemed like they had appeared out of thin air, shooting at the three of them in the blink of an eye. Yun Yao and Nangong Yun were shocked by the appearance of the giant gate and did not have time to react before being pierced by the swords. They turned into white light and disappeared.

Chu Tian had also been hit by the sword, but the moment it was about to hit, a jade talisman on his body shattered and turned into a barrier that blocked the golden treasure sword.

Chu Tian revealed a serious look, "Damn!"

This was truly strange!

Chu Xinghe had not returned to the main hall but could still use his flying swords to attack?

Nangong Yun and Yun Yao did not have any defenses ready, so they were eliminated.

Chu Tian had just finished the large array and did not have his guard up, so he was also hit by the sword. It was lucky that he had the talisman from the labyrinth, which blocked this attack, otherwise Chu Tian would have also been sent out.

"What, is it that surprising?" Chu Xinghe's cold voice came from the treasure sword flying in the air, "My sword is my heart. Although I left, I left three swords behind, so I could observe the entire main hall through my swords. You can only blame yourself for being too negligent."

Truly despicable!

But he had to admit that he had skills!

Chu Tian's mind had been focused on the array and did not pay any attention to the swords that Chu Xinghe had left behind. Who would have thought that these swords would be Chu Xinghe's eyes?

Nangong Yun did not have a high cultivation base, but the puppet could not be underestimated. Yun Yao's cultivation was around the same as Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang, so she could be a strong helper.

But now they had been killed by Chu Xinghe's sneak attack.

This also meant that Chu Tian had to face these three enemies alone!

"Ha, ha, ha, ha! Truly the heavens are on my side!"

At this moment, Luo Xianglong came back with a look of pleasant surprise as he began to look into the sky and laugh. Central State City was filled with rumours on the trial tower.

It's said that the trial tower contained a large inheritance or perhaps treasure that a person could never spend in their lifetime. Whoever could solve the eternally lost problem would be able to obtain this inheritance!

After all these years.

There were people who had found the problem, but they had never been able to solve it. No one would have thought that it would be solved today by a brat like Chu Tian!

Could Luo Xianglong not be happy?

Ye Tianlang's eyes also flashed with a strong greed. As long as he could obtain the ancient treasure of the trial tower, he would not have wasted his time enduring all this humiliation!

Chu Xinghe was as silent as ice. He gripped his sword, and the three treasure swords began to move, gathering around him.

When he opened his eyes, his sharp black eyes revealed a strong look filled with killing intent!

Compared to the laughing Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang, Chu Xinghe was more frightening, much more frightening!

Chu Xinghe had watched Chu Tian solving the array. This youth was too dangerous. His existence, his light might one day even threaten Chu Xinghe!

Chu Xinghe was incredibly arrogant.

How could he tolerate a youth who was even more outstanding than he was?

Even if he could not kill anyone here, he would still cripple him and destroy his future!

"I really don't know whether to say you have good luck or bad luck!" Luo Xianglong recovered from his surprise and looked at Chu Tian with a taunting gaze, "I really do need to thank that protective talisman you have. If you were defeated by Chu Xinghe with a single attack, wouldn't that be too easy for you?"

"You have opened the door to the treasure room for us, now you no longer have any value." Ye Tianlang said in a cold voice, "Now it is time for you to pay!"

"Things have reached this point, so why talk so much?" Chu Tian was not stupid enough to think that these three would share the treasure with him. His eyes flashed a few times and he calmly said, "Do you want to come one after the other, or do you want to come together?"

He was about to die and he still dared to act so arrogantly?

He was facing three of the Central State Four Young Masters!

Any one of them would be enough to cause a stir in Central State and now he was facing three of them!

"Since you have such a large grudge, we'll give you to the Heavenly Wolf Young Master to handle."

"Many thanks!"

Ye Tianlang revealed a happy look.

He had waited for this chance for a long time!

Ye Tianlang did not say anything else as he used his family inherited «Monster Wolf Transformation» to turn into a wolf man. He got on all four limbs and rushed forward.

"Now die!"

Chu Tian had a cold smile on his lips as he secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Chu Xinghe had his own plans and did not want to share the treasure with Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang, so he said this on purpose. With Chu Xinghe's skills, how could he not see it? If Ye Tianlang charged forward now, he would only meet a dead end!

This is good!

If they were to collaborate.

Chu Tian did not have any chance of succeeding, but now he had a slight chance.

"You want to cripple me? First ask my puppet if he agrees or not!"

The puppet behind Chu Tian rushed forward as one of its fists flew at Ye Tianlang.

Ye Tianlang was not a normal person and stepped off in the air, flying back several meters and dodging the giant puppet's destructive fist, "With these insignificant skills, you think you can stop me?"

Not bad!

The puppet could easily move through the labyrinth because most monsters had low intelligence.

Ye Tianlang had a lot of battle experience, so he wouldn't be careless around it. As long as he could dodge all of Chu Tian's attacks, it would be fine.

Even if he couldn't beat the puppet, he would just kill Chu Tian. That would be easy as pie!

Who would have thought that Chu Tian would reveal a strange smile, "You're wrong about this!"

A giant palm came from behind Ye Tianlang.

Ye Tianlang was shocked…..There was a sneak attack!

When he reacted, it was already too late. The palm hit Ye Tianlang and shattered his protective spirit energy, sending him in front of Chu Tian.

A second puppet!

This fellow...could control two puppets!

Chu Tian had used his own puppet to push back Ye Tianlang and then released his Divine Sense to control Nangong Yun's giant's heart, at the same time controlling Nangong Yun's puppet to slap Ye Tianlang.

How strong was the puppet?

Even if Ye Tianlang did not suffer heavy injuries, he still had lost his ability to defend.

The giant's heart in Chu Tian's hand flashed and the giant in front of him gathered his hand together, forming a giant hammer as it smashed down. Ye Tianlang gave an unwilling angry roar as he turned into white light and disappeared.

"The stray dog young master is only this skilled!"

Chu Tian also controlled the puppet Yun Yao left behind. The three puppets appeared in front of him, standing in a defensive stance.

Chu Xinghe was completely calm as if he had already guessed the result.

Luo Xianglong had a shocked look on his face, "How is this possible? Being able to control all these puppets, can he split his consciousness?"

"It's the power of his Divine Sense." Chu Xinghe coldly said, "His Divine Sense has already surpassed the 'Mind's Eye' realm and can leave his body, remotely controlling the puppets."

What?

He has surpassed the Mind's Eye realm!

This had never been heard of before!

Chu Xinghe then said, "Brother Luo, do you have any confidence?"

Luo Xianglong quickly returned to normal, "That waste Ye Tianlang could not accomplish this task and since it's like this, it is now my turn!"

Chu Xinghe watched Luo Xianglong walk out, and a trace of cold ridicule flashed in his eyes.

Chu Tian in the center of the light mirror array and with the three giant puppets around him turned. The three scarred puppets walked out in front of him. Then he said with a cold look, "Do you want to try the might of the giant puppets?"

"Giant puppets?" Luo Xianglong laughed as he took out a mysterious talisman. Placing it on his body, he suddenly gave a loud roar, "Nothing but a toy!"

The talisman released a strong glow!

Luo Xianglong turned into a twenty meter tall giant, standing even taller than the puppets. Throwing out a punch, a giant was shattered to pieces!

As fast as lightning, he kicked another giant, and it flew into the corner.

Finally his arms came forward like two dragons coming out the sea and ripped the final giant apart!

Wild! Ruthless!

The three giant puppets had come this entire way and they couldn't hold on any longer, with their defensive runes disappearing. Using that transformation talisman, Luo Xianglong quickly increased his battle strength. With the Luo Family's strong close combat techniques, the three puppets had no way of fighting back as they were torn apart by Luo Xianglong!

It seemed like!

They really had gained things in the giant's labyrinth!

Luo Xianglong had used the talisman to transform into a giant, increasing his power by five-six times, almost reaching the True Soul Realm. His battle strength surpassed the giant puppets'!

This also meant that his pure battle power did not lose to the giant guards'. The most important thing was that compared to the dumb giants, Luo Xianglong had cultivation techniques and martial arts.

He would definitely be strong!

"You no longer have any more toys!" Luo Xianglong's voice became loud and terrifying. He slowly roared, "I can crush your bones one by one! To thank you for opening the treasure room for me, I will make this quick!"

"One of us will definitely be able to obtain the treasure." Chu Tian watched as these puppets were forcefully destroyed, but he remained calm, not even blinking once, "But this person will not be you!"

Chu Tian gently waved his hand.

The main mirror's light beam was released.

Luo Xianglong's face changed, "Perhaps..."

He seemed to notice something as he tried to run away, but he did not make it in time. Could there be anything faster than light in this world? When the light hit a mirror, it was reflected over thirty-forty times before slamming into Luo Xianglong's giant body with an incomparably strong power.

"No!"

Luo Xianglong give a pitiful cry as he reached the end of the hall before being pierced by the light beam!x

A flash of white light appeared!

Luo Xianglong had also been sent out of the trial space.

Chu Tian handled this like it was a very simple matter and then his eyes fell onto Chu Xinghe. He became very calm, like he had met a friend he hadn't seen in several years, "Heavenly Sword Young Master, you have made two mistakes. The first is harming my people and the second is sending your teammates out to die."

Chu Xinghe coldly said, "So what?"

Chu Tian replied, "I will personally take care of you."

"I could have killed you from the beginning, but I didn't do this. I allowed you to move around because I wanted you to open this treasure room." Chu Xinghe's laugh was as frightening as a owl in the night, "The biggest mistake you made was…..underestimating my strength!"

Chu Xinghe released his sword art.

The golden treasure sword turned into two swords and two swords turned into four...Finally turning into sixteen swords. They rotated around Chu Xinghe at a speed that the naked eye could not see.

"Do you really think you can defeat me?" Chu Xinghe's body slowly floated into the sky, just like a god of swords with his sharp and arrogant eyes. A cold voice resounded through the main hall that was like a sword's edge, "I will let you know just how stupid that idea is!"

Chu Tian laughed, "I don't think so!"

Chapter 185: Full force fight

Sixteen golden treasure swords that had the same length, model, and size. The blade of each sword was as smooth as a mirror and was engraved with a dragon like pattern. Large amounts of sword qi were being released, that seemed like a storm brewing.

"Overestimating your abilities!" Chu Xinghe's eyes glowed, "A little firefly daring to compete with the sun and moon!"

The sixteen swords filled with energy spread out behind him like a peacock's tail. The golden light was released that looked very magnificent. The speed it moved at was hard to distinguish with the naked eye, but it tore through the air, going up and down. Every time the sword fell, it created several streaks of sword qi, creating a dense web of it. It was the pressure from an irresistible wild storm!

"Sword Edge Storm!"

This ancient inherited sword art was ever changing and unpredictable. It would be able to kill from a thousand miles away as easily as taking something out of one's pockets!

The sharp whistling sound seemed like it could destroy a person's eardrums!

This terrifying sword qi seemed like it could rip apart the air itself!

Such a strong offensive strength!

He really was worthy of being Chu Xinghe!

This one attack from him came as fast as lightning!

Shua! Shua! Shua!

Light began to create a web as if it were being controlled by an invisible hand, finally forming a giant barrier. When the ten thousand swords met the barrier, this attack was actually repelled!

Hong!

The main hall shook.

Sword qi was broken to pieces that flew through the main hall, creating deep marks all over the hall!

"Would I be stupid enough to help you open the treasure room?" Chu Tian stood unharmed in the center of the light mirror array. There was a web of light surrounding him, "Right now I control the mirror array and everything is under my control. No matter how strong your sword art is, can you still do anything to me?"

Then entire space was currently divided into sectors in Chu Tian's eyes.

No matter where Chu Xinghe was or where he attacked from, he would be able to block it all. Chu Tian had already prepared the mirrors when he was solving the array, otherwise he wouldn't have opened the treasure room's door!

"Humph! A fool that refuse to give up! You're just relying on external strength! How many different places can you defend at once?" Chu Xinghe made another move, "Thirty Two Wandering Dragons Array!"

The sixteen swords suddenly blew back and turned into thirty two swords with a light being released. The dense sword figures covered the entire mirror array and the intensity of the attacks doubled!

Thousands of streaks of sword qi fell!

It was like a wide storm creating a tsunami, wildly pounding on a single island.

Several streaks of light came from the mirror array, interweaving to form a net, constantly changing.

No matter which angle the attack came from, it could not hurt Chu Tian!

Chu Tian found it hard to grasp the path of the light perfectly, but he could still use it to attack or defend at will. There were no mistakes and all the sword qi sent at him was bounced back.

He could not keep letting himself be attacked!

If he kept defending, he might make a mistake!

So he had to take the initiative to launch an attack!

Chu Tian controlled the main mirror and the light beam bounced several times. It came out of the array as a spear of light, creating a long mark on the ground.

Chu Xinghe had instantly dodged it.

He dodged it?

Chu Xinghe could not be faster than the light, so he had dodged before the attack had been made!

Accurately distinguishing the origin of the attack from the mirror's reflecting it, this was not a skill his eyes would have, so he had to have opened the Mind's Eye.

"So what if he has the Mind's Eye?" Chu Tian patted the mirror and the beam swept across, hitting several mirrors in succession. The light split into several beams and bounced on the mirrors, turning into four-five different attacks coming from different directions, "If you have skills, then dodge all of these!"

Chu Xinghe had the Mind's Eye, but Chu Tian also had the Mind's Eye.

Chu Tian knew that the Mind's Eye's ability had its limits and the Divine Sense was focused rather than spread out like the Mind's Lamp. When faced with multiple beams of light, even if Chu Xinghe had the Mind's Eye, he would not be able to see through it.

Who would have thought Chu Xinghe would have his defenses prepared already!

"Dragon Sword Shield!"

The golden treasure sword gathered in front of Chu Xinghe and formed a tight giant shield. The light beam hit it and the outer layer melted. The strong power continued forward through the shield and finally penetrated it with a peng sound.

Countless bits of melted sword flew everywhere.

Chu Xinghe was no longer behind the shield. The shield had bought enough time for him to move to safety.

Sixty Four Wandering Dragon Sword Array!"

The flood dragon's roar rang out through the main hall!

Sixty four new swords were reformed, floating in the sky in a dense formation. Releasing the strength of his source spirit, each sword was filled with the flood dragon's might, turning into sixty four golden flood dragon claws. They were constantly changing with increased might, they would no longer attack in straight lines!

Chu Xinghe really was hard to deal with!

His strength seemed like it could never be exhausted!

Although his cultivation base was only in the 4th Awakened Soul Layer, his battle strength was enough to make some of the elder characters in Central State City blush in shame!

Chu Xinghe had golden flood dragons by his feet and countless golden flood dragons around him. His body was covered in light and his aura soared into the sky, making him feel like a heavenly deity. His cold eyes were truly terrifying.

"Do you think the light mirror can stop me? I will destroy this array and stop you from borrowing outside power. I want to see if you can block my attacks after that!"

Chu Xinghe's voice was full of confidence!

He was not impatient at all!

Sixty three of the gold flood dragons seemed like they received orders as they charged forward like sharks smelling blood, soaring at the light mirror array. These golden flood dragons were stronger than before and the weaker light beams could not block them!

Chu Xinghe wants to forcefully break the array!

Without the light mirror array, Chu Tian could not even fight Ye Tianlang, not to mention the leader of the Four Young Masters, Chu Xinghe!

Chu Tian released all his Divine Sense and controlled several mirrors. Chu Tian's Divine Sense seeped into the light mirrors as they continued to shake. The light began to form an arc as it filled the entire array with light.

Several dozen beams of light shot out, densely filling the sky. The golden flood dragon received the bombardment of the light beams and were sent flying back.

Chu Xinghe's face turned dark.

The wandering flood dragons began to attack again.

Chu Tian was as stable as a mountain. The Heart's Lamp's range was reduced, only covering around a thirty meter area around him. However, the Divine Sense released was strengthened, locking onto each of the flood dragon's positions.

The angle that they were facing and their movement.

Each golden flood dragon's speed and attack position.

They were all clearly tracked by Chu Tian's Divine Sense. He focused wholeheartedly on this while controlling the light mirror array. The beams were continuously sent out, each beam intercepting a golden flood dragon in the air, not letting Chu Xinghe break through!

Peng!

The golden light and golden flood dragon collided!

Golden energy was released in the air!

With each attack and each shock wave from the collisions, it seemed like the hall itself was trembling!

Chu Tian's computing power was quite terrifying, forming a perfect plan. With the light mirror array's complex system, each beam of light was still fast and accurate beyond compare, completely blocking off the raging flood dragons charging forth.

"The Heavenly Sword Young Master's sword art is only this strong?"

When Chu Xinghe heard Chu Tian's provocation, the killing intent in his eyes became even thicker. He never would have thought that this ruffian who had not even reached the Illustrious Soul Realm would be able to resist the might of his «Imperial Flood Dragon Sword Art» for this long!

It had to be known.

Even if it were a cultivator at the 5th Awakened Soul Layer, faced with Chu Xinghe's might sword array, they would not be able to last ten breaths worth of time. This sword array that had an infinite might could not take care of this damn fellow.

He was only relying on that mirror array!

Chu Xinghe's sword had nothing it couldn't break and had no enemies. How could it be controlled by a trivial 2nd Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator?

"Godly Flood Dragon Falling From the Sky!"

The over sixty golden flood dragons soared into the sky, gathering above Chu Tian's head. Finally, they charged down at the same time, releasing an aura that was like a river flowing down!

Was he risking it all on this one move?

Chu Tian's right hand patted the main mirror and the light beam fell onto the surrounding mirrors. After reflecting several times, it turned into a large net of light that blocked the golden flood dragons falling down.

"Break everything for me!"

With a loud roar.

The golden flood dragons knocked back recovered their form.

Chu Xinghe released the golden flood dragon beneath his foot which turned into golden light, stabbing forward at Chu Tian. In the end, it did not even make it halfway before a beam of light flew at him.

Chu Xinghe quickly raised his sword to block it.

The terrifying strength hit the treasure sword and sent him flying into the air.

"It's my turn now!"

A single light beam had been reflected dozens of times. Not only would the beam be stronger the more it was reflected, it would also surpass the view of Chu Xinghe's Mind's Eye, making it impossible for him to detect!

Fast!

Too fast!

This was a beam of light after all!

Could there be anything in the world that was faster than light?

The golden light slammed into Chu Xinghe's chest like a giant spear. This one attack contained an incredibly strong might!

Even with Chu Xinghe's protective spirit energy, he still could not block it. His chest was pierced like a piece of paper and his body was sent flying back several meters, finally landing on the ground.

Was he killed?

If it ended like this, then the famous Chu Xinghe had an undeserved reputation!

After Chu Xinghe had been pierced by the light, the golden swords in the sky did not fall down. Rather they quickly gathered their strength and came together.

Chu Tian's expression slowly changed!

The sword in the air began to glow and it changed into Chu Shao Yang's appearance. Wearing a white jade crown and a long blue robe, he was controlling the sword art with his hand and standing there with a cold and proud stance. He was like a sword immortal descending to earth, so sharp that none could look at him!

Chu Tian had just attacked Chu Xinghe, so why was there another Chu Xinghe over there?

There was only a single treasure sword left where Chu Xinghe just was.

A camouflage technique?

Had he fallen for a trap?

The group of flood dragons was just a distraction!

Chu Xinghe had moved while Chu Tian was focusing on his sword. The moment the flood dragon came from below his feet, he used a special skill that turned him into the golden sword and the golden sword into him!

When the flood dragon group attack had been defeated, Chu Xinghe had used the golden flood dragon below his feet to launch a fake attack, while sending himself right beside Chu Tian.

Chu Tian had focused on the fake body, and the sword flying towards him had been casually dealt with, with no focused attacks on it.

Chu Xinghe's current position was right above Chu Tian.

Chu Xinghe had been observing with his Mind's Eye the entire time.

He found that this location was the greatest blind spot of the mirror array!

Although Chu Tian could use his Divine Sense to move the mirrors, as long as Chu Xinghe was fast enough, he could cut down Chu Tian before that happened!

"Ten thousand flood dragons come into my body!"

"Sword and man as one!"

The dozens of swords turned into golden light as they entered Chu Xinghe's body, instantly fusing Chu Xinghe and the swords as one. The man was the sword and the sword was the man, concentrating all the power into his body. Using both hands to control the sword art, a giant golden sword qi flew into the sky from his right hand.

Hong!

A large hole appeared in the ceiling!

"Soul Sword Secret Art!"

"Heaven Cutting Art!"

This sword's might was just too terrifying!

Chu Xinghe really was worthy of being known as the most talented member of the Chu Family. He had actually combined the «Imperial Flood Dragon Sword Art» and the «Soul Sword Secret Art». First he used the Flood Dragon Sword Art's strongest move to fuse with his sword and then in that state, using his body as a sword, he released the Heaven Cutting Art!

The Heaven Cutting Art was the strongest move of the Soul Sword Secret Art!

Chu Xinghe already had the ability to fight higher levels and he had used all his strength in this one slash, so how strong would it be?

This slash's might even surpass Chu Tian's imagination!

Even when faced with a 6th Awakened Soul Layer Cultivator, they would still be killed with a single slash. Even a True Soul Realm expert would suffer heavy losses from blocking this one slash!

This was Chu Xinghe!

The number one genius of Central State City!

The sword qi in the sky was hundreds of meters long, but before it fell, it released a strong pressure. The pressure did not fall on Chu Tian, but rather on the mirrors, turning them around and freeing them from Chu Tian's control.

Hong!

The sword qi was like a current roaring forth!

It just left a very deep slash mark!

A gash that was dozens of meters long in the center of the main hall. The ancient array that was ten times harder than iron was actually cleanly cut, the mysterious power protecting the mirror array was also sliced apart.

This light mirror array began to lose its colour.

This one slash had actually destroyed the large array!

How could there be anything left of Chu Tian's mortal body? With the large difference in strength, the one defeated in the end was still Chu Tian!

Chu Xinghe's face turned pale. Looking at the sliced apart main hall, that indifferent look on his face finally turned into a cold taunting smile!

Did he overestimate Chu Tian in the end?

For him to force me into using this kind of move, it was letting him lose too magnificently!

But, this was Chu Xinghe's style!

Chu Xinghe was arrogant and dominating. Since Chu Tian thought he could use the light mirror array to deal with him, Chu Xinghe would make him and the array completely disappear!

He would imprint his undefeatable image deep in Chu Tian's heart. He would become a heart demon as tall as a mountain that Chu Tian could never surpass!

Making his path of cultivation even harder!

Chu Xinghe had accomplished this!

Chu Xinghe released the sword and man as one state and placed his sword back into the scabbard, but suddenly...He felt a strange power coming from behind him.

This is bad!

That treasure sword once again soared into the sky from its sheath, but without waiting for it to come out, a beautiful burning sword glow pierced through Chu Xinghe's back and come out of his chest.

"Netherworld Roaring Flame Slash!"

Chu Xinghe revealed a look of panic!

A young man with a simple robe that was completely unharmed was standing right in front of him. That young man's arrogant face had a cold smile of ridicule on it.

The burning sword in his hand had passed through his body, sending the Netherworld Flames coursing through his body.

"No…..This is impossible!"

Chu Xinghe could not believe what happened. How could Chu Tian survive this attack that even a peak Illustrious Soul Realm expert would have trouble stopping!

How could Chu Tian not be hurt at all?

What made it the hardest for Chu Xinghe to believe was that his sword had not killed Chu Tian but rather Chu Tian's sword had killed him!

"I am a person who keeps my promises!"

"I said that I would personally kill you, so naturally I will personally kill you!"

Chu Tian specially stressed the word "personally" which grated against Chu Xinghe's ears!

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, you have already lost! The so called Heavenly Sword Young Master is nothing more than a joke!"

When the Raging Flame Slash stabbed into Chu Xinghe, he could not resist at all because Chu Xinghe had already used all his spirit energy in that one full force slash. When his body's meridians were devoid of spirit energy and suddenly being stabbed by the sword, the Netherworld Flame completely filled his entire body.

The sharp Netherworld Sword had also pierced his heart!

No matter how strong Chu Xinghe was, he already had no way of fighting back!

Chu Tian withdrew his right hand and returned the Netherworld Sword to its sheath. With the fluttering of his robe, he turned and walked towards the large gate without looking back at all.

A mass of fog appeared and the little white fox appeared on his shoulder. The little fox revealed a taunting smile at Chu Xinghe and then made a face at him!

Finally.

Chu Tian entered the large gate!

The gate of the treasure room slowly closed and then finally disappeared from the main hall!

"No!"

Chu Xinghe gave a loud roar, and the Netherworld Flame instantly burst from his body, immediately swallowing Chu Xinghe. The jade token on his chest released a strong glow before a power sent him out of the trial tower.

Lost!

The Heavenly Sword Young Master had lost!

Central State's number one Chu Xinghe had lost!

No matter what, it was hard to understand just how Chu Tian had accomplished it!

There had never been a person who could make him feel this kind of feeling. Shame and anger as if...it were shaking his soul itself!

Chapter 186: Some families are happy and some are worried

Central State City ruins, outside the Central State Trial Tower.

It was getting late and the stars filled the night sky. The earth was silent with a jade white trial tower silently standing in the middle. It had remained the same for several thousands of years, never changing at all.

The Four Great Families were around the trial tower, divided into four camps.

There were many guards for each of the camps, creating a tense atmosphere that filled the sky around them.

This never fading ancient ruin was one of the lowest level trials out of the countless trials out there. This place did not seal one's cultivation base like the ten thousand corpse ancient ruins and it wasn't dangerous like the other forbidden trial spaces. Out of all the previous participants, there has been a very low mortality rate.

At least for the last several hundred years, there has not been a single death that arose from the trial tower.

Although it was like this, that did not mean the trial tower was completely safe!

The main reason why the trial tower had a low mortality rate was that the trial array protected the participants. When the trial tower determined that they had been heavily injured, the trial tower would decide that the participant's life was in danger.

It would automatically heal them and then send them out of the trial tower to protect their life.

What it counted for were instant fatal injuries.

If one accumulated injuries to the point that they were seriously injured, but weren't considered on the edge of death by the trial space, what would happen then? The situation would be different. If they were eliminated from the trial space, they would still be seriously injured!

Or what if the trial law array judged incorrectly?

If they achieved a fatal injury and could not even react, would the trial space let them die?

So even if there was not a precedent for someone dying, there had been one or two times that people came out seriously injured. Finally the injuries had their repercussions, causing them to damage their cultivation bases!

The Four Great Families did not dare slack off for a second!

Their family elites were encircled around the Central State Tower with pharmacists and therapists. If something happened to their heir, then they would be able to react as soon as possible.

Xiong Wu Ji's army was also encircled around the tower, with the duty of maintaining order. These Four Great Families did not get along and if they started fighting, then the army would mediate the situation.

Xiong Wu Ji said with a happy expression, "With there being two groups in the trial, staying in for this long time and having no one eliminated is really unexpected!"

"That's right!" A vice general said in a strange voice, "In the past, over half of them would have been eliminated by now!"

There was a large variance in trial participant strength.

Chu Xinghe and the other three were Illustrious Soul Realm experts.

Chu Tian, Nangong Yun, Yun Xiao, and the others were all at the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer.

Chu Xinghe also far surpassed the others. Even if the others added their strength together, it would not be enough to match his!

However, because the strong Chu Xinghe existed, the trial's difficulty would be increased by quite a bit. It would definitely be much harsher compared to previous years. No matter how intelligent Chu Tian was, under this kind of harsh condition, a few of them should have been eliminated, right?

The Four Great Family members were filled with curiosity!

Especially the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families!

What was happening!

Chu Tian could actually stay in the trial tower for this long? Didn't they tell them to quickly find Chu Tian to cripple him and then throw him out of the tower?

Yun Tianhe, Chen Bingyu, and the others were also a little anxious.

Yun Tianhe had a conservative guess that a person like Yun Xiao could only stay inside for four-five hours at most. If Yun Yao were to help him, then he might be able to stay in for fifteen-twenty hours…..As for Chu Tian, that fellow was too strange, so it was hard to make an estimate for him.

However, over ten hours had passed already!

Why had no one come out?

What was happening!

Yun Tianhe was quite worried. There was a large amount of pressure on the Yun Family this time and even if Yun Yao had the Thunder Spirit Bead in hand, she still would not be able to stop the combined might of the Chu, Luo, and Ye young masters! Not to mention that trash Yun Xiao!

Chen Bingyu also slightly knit her brows.

She was not only Chu Tian's follower, she was also his admirer. Not to mention that Chu Tian was the person who had saved her life!

Ka, ka!

Chen Bingyu's fists tightly clenched as a vague killing intent slowly filled the air! If the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families dared to do anything to Chu Tian, she would not let them off!

Everyone kept thinking their various thoughts for another two hours.

A light came from the trial tower and it began to shake slightly.

"Someone's coming out!" Everyone focused on it, "Who is it?!"

Light began to come from the Central State tower as ancient runes appeared, coming from the tower. It was an ancient number, "One hundred and eighty eight points!"

One hundred and eighty eight points?!

Compared to all the previous results, this was considered very extraordinary!

A white robed young man was sent out, slamming into the ground!

The people of the Yun Family revealed happy looks on their faces!

Damn, isn't this their family's young master Yun Xiao?

The other people were all stunned. Yun Xiao had been considered a playboy for so long, yet he was able to get one hundred and eighty eight points? What was happening! He had to have cheated!

The Yun Family were all in high spirits!

This was a pleasant surprise that they could feel proud of!

There was nothing wrong with Yun Xiao as he popped out of the trial space, suffering no internal injuries at all. He stood up and began to curse, "Fuck! Those monsters are just too abnormal! Stabbing father in the back with an arrow! I'm not satisfied! I'm not satisfied!"

Yun Tianhe quickly asked, "What's the current situation inside the tower!"

"Boss, old sis, big sis, and the others are all together. When I was sent out, nothing should have happened to them! However, they are being held down by a pack of terrifying monsters and their attacks have no use on them, so it's a very bad situation overall!"

Yun Tianhe's brows knit together.

The three other families secretly laughed to themselves!

It would be best if they were all eliminated at once!

Yun Xiao exchanged for his items and gave them all over to his grandfather, "My harvest from the trial tower is huge this time. I exchanged for several sets of martial arts that our Yun Family can use, like this «Mad Thunder Burst» which could destroy most of our martial arts. As well as this «Lightning Shadow Step» which is a high level movement technique..."

Four-five sets of lightning attributed cultivation techniques!

Three half step Saint Grade medicines!

Two pills that could increase his might!

The things that Yun Xiao obtained from the trial tower were not normal. They were all top quality items that could increase the Yun Family's strength by quite a bit!

The Chu, Luo, and Ye Families all revealed looks of envy!

A waste like Yun Xiao was able to obtain this much, then Yun Yao must have obtained even more. The Yun Family being able to send two people in this time, they have earned too much!

"Good! Good!" Yun Tianhe's old chest filled with warmth over this good for nothing grandson finally contributing to the family. From now on, no one would be able to laugh at his grandson behind him, "You did pretty well. Go and take a rest!"

In less than half an hour.

The Central State Tower trembled once again and Lin Mu and Fang Han were kicked out.

One had one hundred and ninety five points!

The other had one hundred and ninety points!

The onlookers' eyes turned red!

God, this is truly strange. These two were just mercenaries with no backing and no support, obtaining this chance to participate with luck alone. They never thought that not only would they obtain the qualifications to enter the trial, they would also obtain such high results!

They had more than enough to exchange for a Saint Grade medicine!

These two good for nothings had stood up from their failures!

The ones most enraged by this were the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families!

The spots they held had belonged to them. If even these trash could make such high progress, then if the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families' geniuses were to go in, would their performance be lower?

Yun Xiao had a curious look on his face, "You guys got eliminated as well?"

Lin Mu and Fang Han both gave a sigh, "Those demons were just too strong, we had no way to deal with them. We were taken care of when we let our guards down!"

Yun Tianhe's heart sank.

Although he did not know what was happening in the tower, he could see from their expressions that Chu Tian must have run into some kind of trouble.

There were several hundred of them?

Physical and energy attacks all had no use?

Their might was strong enough to break through an Illustrious Soul Realm expert's defenses?

Under the attack of such terrifying monsters, could they not be completely eliminated?

The Central State Tower shook again – Two hundred and seventy six points!

Everyone was thrown into an uproar! Such a high score? It almost broke the record for the highest amount of points recorded!

The one sent out this time was Feng Caidie.

She had a depressed look of regret on her face.

Feng Caidie was not the same as the others. Chu Tian had found the method to deal with the demons and while Feng Caidie was operating the light mirror, she had accidentally sent the light back on herself!

Could she not be depressed?

Feng Caidie looked very depressed, but before being sent out, she had killed quite a few demons, so her points was much higher compared to the other three!

So this trip that she went on to gain experience became a pleasant surprise!

Her harvest far surpassed her own imagination!

"One higher than the other!"

The Four Great Families felt their blood boil!

If it followed this pattern, wouldn't the people coming out after them have even higher points?

While Yun Tianhe was asking about what happened, he couldn't help slapping the table and praising, "Good brat, he really is skilled! In this dangerous situation, he was actually able to find the demons' weakness! It seems like they do have hope after all!"

The Yun Family had two participants!

Just Yun Xiao alone had retrieved several ancient lightning attributed martial arts and several half step Saint Grade medicines!

Then what would Yun Yao show them?

After an hour!

Hong, hong!

The light of the trial tower filled the sky and two numbers came out.

Three hundred and eighteen points!

Three hundred and thirty one points!

Nangong Yun and Yun Yao were sent out!

Everyone here was thoroughly shocked!

They broke the three hundred mark!

They actually broke the three hundred markl!

The Yun Family members exploded with joy!

A new record! They made a new record!

Yun Yao had obtained a terrifying three hundred and thirty one points and the highest recorded record did not even reach three hundred. Yun Yao had instantly destroyed the record that had lasted for over several years! This was truly a miraculous result!

Nangong Yun exchanged for a high grade level two Sacred Herb – the Ten Thousand Year Old Phoenix Ginseng. It was enough for her to break through to the Illustrious Soul Realm. In addition, she also received a large amount of cultivation techniques and equipment, giving her a large harvest!

Yun Yao also exchanged for a pretty good Saint Grade Herb, which she could use later to attack the 5th Awakened Soul Layer. She also exchanged for a few recipes, ancient books, and cultivation techniques to contribute to the family.

Who said the Yun Family was weak?

They were making a comeback!

While the Yun Family was jumping for joy, the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families all had depressed looks on their faces!

Logically it was impossible to obtain that many points in the trial. The ones who had obtained over a hundred points had done it by luck, so that meant these people must have met a fortuitous encounter!

Damn!

Why was it like this!

At that time, Nangong Yun and Yun Yao revealed a look of anger, "Damn that Chu Xinghe! He actually launched a sneak attack against us!"

Everyone was stunned.

Yun Tianhe quickly asked, "What happened?"

Yun Yao did not say anything before Nangong Yun indignantly shouted, "Chu Xinghe launched a sneak attack against us when we were unprepared! We were both killed by Chu Xinghe! Otherwise, we would have obtained quite a bit more!"

Yun Yao also had a face of anger!

He really was too underhanded!

It was fine if they were beaten in a fight, but that bastard Chu Xinghe actually launched a sneak attack!

When Yun Tianhe heard what happened, a shocked expression appeared on his face, "You're saying that Chu Tian is still inside? And he is fighting Chu Xinghe, Luo Xianglong, and Yun Tianlang by himself?"

"Boss had a protective talisman that could block a single attack, so Chu Xinghe's sneak attack should not have killed him!

Instantly!

Yun Tianhe's face turned white.

Now it was time for the Chu, Luo, and Ye Families to show happy expressions!

With Chu Tian fighting the three of them alone, even using their ass, they would still be able to imagine the consequences!

The expressions of Feng Caidie, Yun Xiao, and the others all changed. Ye Tianlang and Luo Xianglong, they would not just simply kill Chu Tian, but rather they would try to cripple him!

This is bad!

Chu Tian is in danger!

Chapter 187: Miracle!

Yun Yao had been instantly taken care of.

Could Chu Tian fight against the other three powerful young masters by himself?

The weakest person was Ye Tianlang, who was currently in the 4th Awakened Soul Layer. He had been in the 4th Awakened Soul Layer for a year now and was in the Large Success Realm of the «Monster Wolf Transformation» transformation. He had been trained by the Ye Family, fighting all over the county with Ye Wudao, gaining a rich battle experience! His strength, explosive might, and speed, all surpassed that of a normal Illustrious Soul expert!

Didn't Chu Tian win by luck in South Sky City?

Everyone knew that he hadn't used his own strength and had relied on the corpse puppets as well as an array to defeat Ye Tianlang!

If he had to fight against Ye Tianlang with just his cultivation, Chu Tian would be killed even if he had ten lives! Not to mention the one with the Dragon Tiger's strength and had a close combat ability that allowed him to look down on the entire city. As well as the dazzling and peerless Chu Xinghe!

Yun Tianhe's face turned white, and Chen Bing Yu's face turned cold!

The Chu, Luo, and Ye Families revealed looks of joy. Chu Tian, ah Chu Tian, you also had a day like this?

Falling into our hands this time, even if you don't die, we will make sure you become a cripple!

Meng Yingying and Meng Qingwu were standing in the Yun Family's camp. When they heard the news, their faces turned pale. What would they do now?

Chu Tian was in a lot of trouble this time!

A Ye Family's elder walked in front of them, "Once Chu Tian is crippled, you will no longer have any backers. Do you think that the Yun Family will fight the three other families for the two of you?"

Yun Tianhe angrily said, "What are you planning to do?"

"Offending our three families, it is impossible to leave in one piece." The Ye Family elder revealed a cold smile to them, "But, it is all Chu Tian's fault, so we can show some mercy and give you two sisters a path to live! Divide Miracle Commerce between us three families right now and we'll give you two sisters a way to live, becoming our servants. This counts as showing you mercy."

"You're going too far!" Yun Tianhe loudly shouted and the Yun Family elders all shook, "With this old man here, none of you will be able to act this arrogantly!"

The Meng sisters had faces of rage.

Too despicable!

Chu Tian had not appeared yet and these fellows were already trying to swallow up Miracle Commerce!

This Ye Family elder relied on the three great families' support to not fear Yun Tianhe, "With the three young masters fighting Chu Tian in the tower, what does it matter if they cripple or kill him? The Divine Wind Marquis has no way to stop them! Afterwards, even if Yun Tianhe is angered and the Divine Wind Marquis is unsatisfied, even if the crowd is displeased, could the Divine Wind Marquis go all out against our three families? Think carefully about it, Yun Tianhe cannot protect you and without Chu Tian's Miracle Commerce, what do you count for?"

The Central State Four Great Families were the cornerstones of Central State City!

In the entire Central State County, from the main city to the small villages, it was impossible for the influence of the Four Great Families to not exist. Just a single one of these hundreds of years old families disappearing would create chaos, not to mention three of them!

If the three young masters killed Chu Tian in the trial tower, could the Divine Wind Marquis slaughter the three families out of rage?

The three great families acted like victory was in hand. Could Chu Xinghe and the others take care of Chu Tian? Did one even need to ask this?

Offending them.

This fate was letting him off too easily!

But right at this moment, the Central State Tower began to shake.

The three families looked up with excitement. Chu Tian had already lost? This was a proud and happy moment for them, so they opened their eyes wide to watch!

A beam of light came from the tower.

Several figures appeared in the sky, "Two hundred and thirty six points!"

"Ha, he only got two hundred and thirty six points!" A member of the Ye Family deliberately shouted out, "Even the Yun Family's waste got one hundred and eighty eight points!"

The others also began to jeer.

Yun Xiao angrily gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do!

Actually, this would be considered a very good score in the previous years! This score now seemed sloppy and couldn't even compare to Nangong Yun!

While the members of the three families were laughing.

A person with an embarrassed appearance suddenly shot out of the tower and slammed into the ground.

When everyone saw this person's appearance, it seemed like they had seen a ghost. All the sounds of ridicule suddenly stopped, and it became silent!

It isn't Chu Tian?

This, this, this…..Isn't this Ye Tianlang!

This young man who seemed to be around twenty four-twenty five was wearing a moonlight white robe. He had a heroic figure and an evil appearance. His face was filled with anger as he roared into the sky, "Little brat Chu Tian! I cannot coexist with you!"

It really was Ye Tianlang!

The person from the Ye Family making fun of Chu Tian almost spat out a mouthful of blood!

Yun Xiao began to laugh as he shamelessly said "Aiya! Isn't this the Heavenly Wolf Young Master? The renowned Heavenly Wolf Young Master is only this skilled? It seems like brother eating everyday and playing around in the brothel isn't that much worse compared to the Heavenly Wolf Young Master!"

The Yun Family broke out in laughter.

The other three families were completely stunned!

There were the three young masters in the tower with Chu Tian, so why did Ye Tianlang get kicked out instead of Chu Tian?

Ye Wudao's scarred face twitched several times before he said in a low voice, "What is happening!

Ye Tianlang's pale face turned red.

In front of everyone, he couldn't say that he was defeated by Chu Tian!

Ye Wudao seemed like he lost himself in anger, "Say it now!"

"It's Chu Tian!" Ye Tianlang prepared to say it all, "That despicable fellow launched a sneak attack against me!"

Everyone went into an uproar!

Just what was happening!

"Ha, this is the biggest joke I've ever heard. Not to mention of Chu Tian really launched a sneak attack against you, even if he did, so what?" Nangong Yun said in a taunting voice, "So Chu Xinghe launching a sneak attack against us is fair, but Chu Tian launching a sneak attack is despicable? Such a good lying mouth. You really are a stray dog young master, only knowing how to bark!"

Meng Yingying's courage was incited as she also shouted, "That's right! A stray dog young master that only knows how to bark and bite people! You people actually think you can swallow Chu Tian's Miracle Commerce? In your dreams!"

The Ye son and father pair flew into a rage.

Before the two of them could make a move, the Central State Tower trembled once again and another number appeared in the sky, "Two hundred and fifty seven points!"

Luo Xianglong's tall and strong body was sent out, slamming into the ground, falling flat on his face!

This made the Luo Family's members spit up blood!

What was happening?

It's fine if the Heavenly Wolf Young Master was kicked out!

Why was the Dragon Tiger Young Master also kicked out?

"Da…..Damn!" Luo Xianglong faced everyone's strange gaze, and he felt even more shame, "Chu Tian launched a sneak attack against me!"

The Yun Family and the others all broke out in laughter!

What a good sneak attack!

Chu Tian was in front of the three young masters and had launched a sneak attack against Ye Tianlang and then Luo Xianglong. Were the three young masters made of shit? A head on sneak attack was still a sneak attack!

The Luo Family was filled with rage. The hatred between the Luo Family and Chu Tian was the lightest, and although he killed two elders and a deacon, they were ordinary elders and an insignificant deacon.

Until the Central State Great Games.

When Chu Tian beat Luo Jinshi half dead and caused them to lose a spot for the trial tower, they finally began to hate Chu Tian. In the end, not only had Chu Tian beaten Luo Jinshi half to death, he had even kicked Luo Xianglong out of the tower, filling the Luo Family with shame!

This was a great shame!

The Luo Family members' eyes all turned red as they gritted their teeth. They had to cut Chu Tian into ten thousand pieces!

The Ye and Luo Family shared a common hatred at this moment.

The Chu Family was still calm as usual.

Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang were both second class items. Regarding the title of the Four Young Masters, the Chu Family did not care about it at all because how could three mediocre people compare with the flood dragon's magnificence!

There was only one genius in Central State City.

That was Chu Xinghe!

Whether it was his mentality, intelligence, destiny, or courage, Chu Xinghe was at the top. He had cultivated the Chu Family's Soul Sword Secret Art to the Perfection Realm and had practiced the ancient inherited sword art, the «Imperial Flood Dragon Sword Art» to the Large Success Realm!

Chu Xinghe alone was enough to fight against all of the other three young masters!

So when they saw Ye Tianlang and Luo Xianglong being eliminated, the Chu Family was not worried at all because every member believed that Chu Xinghe was the strongest in the younger generation!

Chu Xinghe's road to fame had been very smooth. There were many grass like rogue cultivators and geniuses who were all being slashed down by his glory and finally willingly submit themselves under Chu Xinghe's foot, following his orders!

Such a strong man, it was impossible for him to lose!

In the entire Central State City, he was the only person who could become a supernova like the Divine Wind Marquis!

So what if Luo Xianglong and Ye Tianlang were kicked out? The Chu Family did not feel any anger or shock, they just secretly laughed to themselves. After this fight, the gap between the families would increase once again. After Chu Xinghe obtained the fortuitous encounter of the trial tower, then the other three young masters would never be able to surpass him!

Around another half hour!

Hong, hong!

The Central State Tower shook and a beam of light filled the light, revealing a number – four hundred points!

He broke four hundred points!

It's perfectly at four hundred points!

Everyone was shocked!

Yun Yao hadn't even set the record for two hours and it was already beaten by another score! Was this set by Chu Tian? This seemed very reasonable. Even though many people did not want to admit it, they still had to admit that Chu Tian had some skills.

Who would have thought that in front of ten thousand people.

A desolate figure slowly walked out of the tower.

That blue robe, golden sword, white jade crown, that tall figure, and strong aura, he was just like a treasure sword!

But the radiance of that treasure sword that would normally take away everyone's breath seemed like it was rusted today!

It was Chu Xinghe!

A deathly silence filled the crowd!

Why was Chu Xinghe walking out?

The result that occurred was the one that no one could imagine!

The minds of the Chu Family members all went blank because this result was too inconceivable to them! Chu Xinghe was a legend to the Chu Family! When seeing this legend being eliminated, how could they not be shocked?

Chu Shanhe was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "Xinghe! What happened to you!"

Chu Xinghe seemed very bad as he suddenly stopped. His eyes did not have their usual arrogance, looking very blank and vacant. Standing in front of everyone, he suddenly began to laugh.

"I lost...."

After saying this, he spat out a mouthful of blood into the sky and fell to the ground!

"Quickly, save him!"

The Chu Family was stunned as they all rushed forward and began to lift Chu Xinghe up.

At this time, Chu Xinghe had already lost consciousness and fell into a coma. Obviously, Chu Xinghe had been seriously injured while walking out, but he still forced himself to walk to this point.

"This is bad!" A senior elder took Chu Xinghe's pulse, and his face changed as he said, "The young master's meridians have been burnt by the Netherworld Flame! They are all showing signs of atrophy! I'm afraid he will lose a lot of his skills!"

Everyone from the Chu Family froze!

This was not because of Chu Xinghe's injury! It was because the only person in Central State who could cause this injury was Chu Tian with his Netherworld Flame Sword Art!

Instantly!

The final bubble had popped!

The Chu Family had no choice but to face this brutal reality!

The one they were proud and pleased with, the head of the Four Young Masters, had actually been defeated by Chu Tian's hands!

"Chu Tian was not eliminated and actually eliminated the three young masters?"

"Chu Xinghe had never been defeated before!"

"How did he accomplish this!"

Yun Tianhe, Chen Bingyu, Xiong Wuji, and all the bystanders were shocked by this result!

"There will be no hesitation at all!"

"We must kill him!"

"We must kill him!"

The three families' hatred poured out like a mountain. They had recognized that they had annoyed a monster. The monster wasn't currently strong, but if they allowed him to grow up, they would no longer have a place in Central State!

In the distance.

On a tall tree.

The Divine Wind Marquis was standing there covered in a black cape. He did not imagine this kind of result either. The final person left was Chu Tian at the 2nd Awakened Soul Layer?

Inconceivable!

Unbelievable!

This was something that was hard to believe!

Chapter 188: Ancient God's remains

How had Chu Xinghe lost to Chu Tian?

Actually this was very simple!

Chu Xinghe had been too confident, thinking that he could calculate Chu Tian's moves, but he did not know that Chu Tian already had control over everything in the palm of his hands.

In the purple chest of the craftsmen palace, Chu Tian had found a Substitution Talisman. This symbol could replace him in taking a fatal wound once.

Chu Tian had already hidden the talisman behind a mirror from the beginning and then intentionally revealed that dead angle. Chu Xinghe had thought his attacks had deceived Chu Tian and released his strongest attack, trying to kill Chu Tian in a single slash.

In the end, the moment Chu Tian was injured, the Substitution Talisman took his place and he appeared behind Chu Xinghe, taking that opportunity to stab him.

Chu Xinghe was very strong.

There was no doubt about that.

Although Chu Xinghe was only at the peak 4th Awakened Soul Layer, not to mention a normal 4th Awakened Soul Cultivator, even a 5th or 6th Awakened Soul Cultivator would not have 100% confidence in blocking his Heaven Cutting Art while he was in his sword and man as one state.

But this person's personality was too flawed. He was too arrogant, proud, and blind.

This person that seemed strong was actually very fragile. He believed he was the strongest and would not allow himself to lose. This kind of faith allowed him to grow quickly, but if it were ever shaken, it would be hard to recover from.

Not only had Chu Tian's attack caused damage that he could not heal from, he had also dealt a blow that completely destroyed his frail pride and vanity.

So if nothing unexpected happened, he would be unable to recover in a short period of time.

Chu Tian entered the glowing giant door. When he entered, the door closed behind him. Chu Tian was afraid that he could not return to the giant's labyrinth and that he was now trapped in this strange space.

There was a resplendent palace of jade and gold in front of him!

When Chu Tian walked forward, he heard the sound of gold coming from beneath him. When he looked down, he found that he was stepping on gold, silver, and jewels piled into a tiny hill, shining so brightly that he almost could not open his eyes. As far as the eye could see, the hill of gold covered everything!

This magnificent scene even surpassed his expectations!

Soul Contracting items, Sacred Medicines that could shock nations, all kinds of rare materials and precious treasures, as well as inherited cultivation techniques with infinite might. The things here all surpassed a person's imagination.

A treasure stash!

This was a true treasure stash!

Anything here could be traded for an astonishing amount of wealth.

The little fox's eyes went crossed looking at this. All this gold and silver, all these heaven and earth treasures, and all these wonderful Sacred Medicines. If it took everything from here out with it, it could fill its stomach for a hundred years.

The little fox could eat for a hundred years!

This helped illustrate just how precious this treasure stash was!

"Congratulations young human." A deep and solemn voice rang throughout the hall, "You have passed the final trial and will now obtain the ultimate treasure of this tower."

The little fox looked all around, but it could not find the person speaking.

Chu Tian knit his brows, "The so called treasure stash are these common items?"

"No, you have two choices!"

"First, you can take as much as you want from this treasure stash. For an Awakened Soul Cultivator, it is an amazing amount of treasure. You can live the life of a king, never worrying about anything."

This voice did not even get to finish.

"No need!" Chu Tian interrupted it, "I choose the second option!"

"Oh?" The voice of the main hall revealed a little surprise, "You don't even know what the second option is yet! You've already decided to let go of this rare opportunity to obtain easy treasure to chase this dangerous and illusory opportunity? This doesn't seem like a sane thing to do!"

Precious treasures?

You think I'm lacking money?

The little fox scratched its head, clearly showing its disapproval to its master.

Chu Tian firmly said, "I want to pick the second option!"

The voice of the main hall was silent for a few seconds before slowly saying in a low and deep voice, "The second choice, you will only have a single opportunity. It is the dream of many strong people throughout the ages, but if you choose to accept it, you will face many dangers...You might even die from this. Your wisdom, ambitions, and dreams will all turn to nothing! Your family, your friends, and your loved ones will all go far away. Have you clearly thought this through?"

A kind of frenzy flashed in Chu Tian's eyes, "Stop talking nonsense. If I can't even take this kind of tiny risk, what use do wisdom and ambitions have?"

The palace of gold and jade disappeared. The little fox quickly stretched out its claw, but it reached nothing, touching the thin air.

The golden mountain of treasures disappeared.

The precious divine equipment also disappeared.

The Sacred Medicines all disappeared.

The light in the main hall fell into chaos and finally an ancient plain and decrepit bronze palace appeared. Although it was very big, it did not seem like it could handle the rust as it was filled with various changes.

"Arriving here is enough to prove your strength!"

"Opening the large array is enough to prove your wisdom!"

"Resisting the temptation of the treasure is enough to proves your character!"

"Meeting the requirements, you are eligible to receive the inheritance!"

The little fox sat on Chu Tian's shoulder as it began to grumble, seeming like it was angry. Was this fellow acting like this fox did not exist?

Even if his master did not want the treasure, this fox wanted it!

The little fox looked all around them, but it could not find where the voice was coming from at all. Perhaps there was no speaker at all. Perhaps there was a consciousness and it had fused into the bronze palace itself.

"After all these years!" The consciousness seemed relieved, "You are the first person to arrive here!"

Chu Tian couldn't help criticizing it.

Isn't this nonsense?

The limitations of this trial were very high, restricting a participant's age and cultivation base. Even if it was the era that Chu Tian was born in, there would be very few people who could pass this trial.

The voice of the bronze palace continued to say, "I'll remind you one last time, you might have obtained the qualification to receive this inheritance, but that does not mean you'll be able to accept it. If it does not fuse with you, your body will disappear!"

Chu Tian slightly knit his brows and then revealed a relaxed smile, "Yi? Then I want to see what kind of inheritance this is if it can make my body disappear!"

The bronze hall's voice did not say anything and a mysterious strength filled the main hall.

A large sound rang out and the ground in front of him split apart. A pool of liquid appeared in front of him which looked like the Water of Life. It was clear, bright, and gently glowing, but it contained a powerful might. It seemed like it far surpassed the quality of normal Water of Life.

From this pool, Chu Tian could feel an aura from the great ancient era!

Was this something left behind from the great ancient era?

Not to mention what kind of water this was, just with a trace of great ancient aura power, this water's value was already hard to estimate. The little fox's eyes lit up as it looked at it and it began to drool. Chu Tian did not have time to stop it before it jumped out, preparing to drink it.

At this moment!

The little fox suddenly felt a pressure fall on it!

It was scared and quickly jumped back.

Chu Tian felt a little surprised because there weren't many things that could scare this little fox. When he walked forward, he saw a vortex come from the center of the pool. After it formed a ten meter tall pillar, it slowly rose up and appeared in front of Chu Tian.

Hong!

Chu Tian couldn't help taking a half step back. The hairs on the little fox's body stood up as it revealed a strong hostile intent.

When the pillar appeared, an ancient aura like a spiritual god's aura instantly filled the entire main hall, making Chu Tian's soul tremble. His main source spirit also went into a frenzy as if it had just received some kind of provocation.

"This is..." Chu Tian revealed a bit of surprise, "An Ancient God's remains?"

Inside of the ten meter tall pillar, there was a giant head sealed. It seemed very bold and courageous with long horns on its head, being around the size of a house. However, it seemed like it had suffered a terrifying attack and a third of it was missing!

An Ancient God's head that died millions of years ago was still releasing this kind of power and pressure that made it hard for Chu Tian to move. It was as if his legs were sealed.

Ever since the great ancient continent broke and the great ancient era ended, this world no longer had any demon gods.

One could however find remains of demons gods in various planes and the values of these remains were impossible to imagine.

Chu Tian had wanted to study an ancient god's remains in the past, but after running around half the continent, he did not find a single one. The other remains had all been uncovered and hidden by the major powers, with no one being willing to lend one to him.

He never would have thought.

That there would be the head of an ancient god here!

There was only two thirds of this head left, but it was still rare beyond compare!

The demon gods were existences that could live forever and if he could get a sample, it would be a lot of help to Chu Tian's research...The Central State Tower's ultimate hidden treasure was an ancient god's head like this? This would give clues to the secret of life and death and did match the Central State Tower's rumours.

"Not turning away in the face of this divine might." The bronze palace's voice sounded again, "Young human, your quality is even better than I thought."

Chu Tian gave a snort, "It's only a dead head! This is considered my prize? Fine, I'll grudgingly accept it. Help me wrap it up!"

"What I want to give you isn't just my head!"

"What? Your head!"

Chu Tian was completely frightened. Perhaps inside the ancient bronze palace, the one talking to him was the soul of an ancient god! Was there really a living demon god left in this world?

When Chu Tian thought of this.

He was suddenly filled with excitement!

Spiritual god! This was a spiritual god!

Wasn't that the realm he dreamed of reaching?

As a scholar, Chu Tian had many questions he wanted to ask! There were too many unsolved mysteries left from the great ancient era! If this kind of existence appeared in front of him, what else could make him even more excited!

Even if he obtained nothing from this trial, just being able to talk to a spiritual god meant that this trip was not wasted!
