An Lin accepted that black orb, and a stream of images instantly funneled into his mind.
This was a recording of the Dark Wing Tribe fighting against some black monstrosity. That was an earth-shattering battle. It fractured heaven and earth, and it sunk the sun and moon. It was as if the entire world was going to be swallowed by that battle.
In that battle, there was a male of the Dark Wing Tribe who performed stunningly. His sword technique was called Endless Night Sword Technique.
Just as An Lin came to his senses, a burst of information regarding the true essence of the Endless Night Sword Technique surged into his mind.
An extremely powerful sword intent raged in the air, and the Evil-Slaying Sword also started to tremble in excitement.
“This sword technique suits me very well,” a cold voice sounded in his mind once again.
An Lin blinked and replied, “But I feel that the Six Strikes of the War God suits me better.”
Evil-Slaying Sword: “…”
The Evil-Slaying Sword stopped speaking. It transformed back into a frosty and silent sword once again.
An owner like this wanted his weapon to develop a spirit? He was definitely living in lla land!
An Lin didn’t know what the Evil-Slaying Sword was thinking right now, and he was feeling extremely pleased with himself.
Humph! Who told you to be so aloof? See how I choke you off to death!
After passing his trial, a passageway materialized on the gigantic floating boulder. This passageway was clearly a path that led toward the intersection of the ten paths. An Lin didn’t hesitate and headed into this passageway while humming a cheery tune.
In a dimly lit space, a female stared at a screen. She appeared to be deep in thought.
A green-haired male was trembling violently as he knelt on the floor. After a short while, he realized that his hair was continually shedding from his scalp.
One minute late, he became bald…
He didn’t become stronger 1 .
“There’s a popular phrase in Her Majesty’s Small World, the Earth,” Black Spirit Snake said coldly. “It’s called ‘breathtakingly intelligent’. I feel that comprehending it in a slightly different manner might also be of some use. We’ll take away your breath first, and perhaps that might help with your intelligence.”
The green-haired male… bah! The bald male nodded his head profusely and praised, “Master Black is so wise!” Tears were brimming in his eyes.
Humming a cheery tune, An Lin arrived at the junction where the ten paths all intersected. This was a gigantic stone hall.
Upon arriving, he found that there were two sets of people waiting here already.
“Hey, White Spirit Snake. Hey, Tian Lingling. You two sure are quick!” An Lin greeted casually.
“Haha, it was all thanks to Little Qing…” White Spirit Snake grinned sheepishly. After being praised by her idol, her soft and delicate face flushed red. She tugged at the corner of her sleeves in embarrassment.
Tian Lingling wasn’t timid like White Spirit Snake, and she started chortling loudly. “This is the difference between human brains and artificial intelligence! This stupid A.I. assigned an easy level of difficulty to us! Bahaha… You can imagine the end result!”
An Lin came to a sudden realization upon hearing this. “This system even ignored the combat capabilities of Battle Gods?! One can indeed pass the trial without needing to do anything then. I must say, the judgment of the A.I. in this tomb is stupid beyond belief. We can look for system loopholes to exploit later.”
In a dimly lit space, a bald male almost burst into tears.
Stupid system? Stupid your mom!
You people have already reaped all the benefits; can you shut up please?! You guys running your mouths is pushing my precious life toward the brink of death!
He raised his head to look at Black Spirit Snake. Sure enough, her expression had darkened even further…
Sigh, the old adage is indeed correct. One false step brings everlasting grief. Anyhow, why are these people all so peculiar?
Meanwhile, Xu Xiaolan had arrived above a cloud which was blazing with flames. Several Giant-Winged Flame Birds were spitting flames toward her, yet they were unable to injure her. Their flames were all blocked out by the golden flames which enveloped her body.
It could be said that Xu Xiaolan was least afraid of fire when she had fully activated her Divine Phoenix Bloodline.
As long as the attacking flames weren’t as powerful as her flames, she could withstand and perhaps even control all the flames.
Wielding her Dragon Sparrow Sword as she shifted her feet gracefully, the blazing inferno around her distorted slightly. It was as if they were bending down and bowing their heads toward her.
Like a divine phoenix which ruled over all flames, she appeared holy and majestic, beautiful and peerless. As her sword sliced through the air, it appeared as dazzling as the sun. It was so blinding that one could not gaze upon it directly.
Before they could even screech in terror, the mighty Giant-Winged Flame Birds were shredded into two by the sword. Flames and blood rained down from the sky.
“Congratulations! You have passed the trial of the Vermilion Bird Tribe!”
In a pure white realm, there was a white palace which was continually emitting rays of brilliant light.
Five humanoid creatures were surrounding a male, and they were currently attacking him frenziedly. These creatures were white in color, and they each had a golden disc attached to their backs.
Each and every one of their punches and kicks possessed the ultimate meaning of martial arts, and these strikes could obliterate mountains which lay hundreds of meters away from them. Vital energy surged about violently, and savage winds raged. The surrounding earth was all fractured and caved in.
The male being attacked by these five humanoid figures was Xuanyuan Cheng, whose body was currently shrouded in a white airstream. His attacks and defenses all held firm as he slashed with his ancient sword and performed the method of Taichi Steps. Regardless of how exquisite or powerful the humanoid creatures’ attacks were, they were unable to breach Xuanyuan Cheng’s defenses.
On the other hand, Xuanyuan Cheng was always able to find opportunities to counterattack while he defended himself. His blade was like a deadly airstream which flittered about in the raging storms, invisible when striking and lightning-quick in speed. As time went on, the five humanoid figures became weighed down by the countless gashes which decorated their white bodies. White fluids flowed from their wounds.
Xuanyuan Cheng leaned toward his left, and the energy formed by his motion caused a punch to slide past his body. Immediately afterward, he retreated a few steps and dodged the follow-up attacks.
Then, he suddenly held his sword upright in front of himself. A piercing look appeared in his profound eyes.
“Myriad Spirit Fate—Death!”
Countless shimmering gold symbols suddenly appeared on the wounds of the five humanoid creatures. Immediately afterward, their life force was rapidly stripped away from them.
They attempted to launch a final suicidal attack, yet they discovered that they couldn’t move at all. After a few more seconds, their life force was completely drained, and they crashed to the floor, dead.
“Congratulations! You have passed the trial of the Holy Martial Clan!”
Waves crashed onto a golden beach, and several blue water dragons roared toward a continuously dodging figure.
That dodging figure was lithe and graceful, and she was like an agile bird weaving through the raging water dragons.
As a bright blue light flashed, a gigantic turtle which was shrouded in thick white mists as it manipulated wind and rain suddenly felt a cold chill across its neck. Then, its vision darkened, and it lost all its senses.
“Congratulations! You have passed the trial of the Heavenly Turtle Tribe!”
“Huh? What are you saying?” Su Qianyun, who didn’t understand Mandarin, looked toward the sky blankly.
Beads of water were still stuck to her stunningly beautiful face, and she appeared especially striking and mesmerizing.
There was no reply from the skies. All that descended was a ball of blue light.
Su Qianyun knew that this was probably a reward, so she caught it with her hands.
Immediately afterward, information regarding the Heavenly Turtle Tribe’s water techniques started pouring into her mind.
“Hmm… this is interesting. It’s finally something that I can understand!”
Su Qianyun smiled daintily. Then, she casually waved a hand toward the sea. Instantly, a raging wave surged a hundred feet high, appearing as if it was going to blot out the heavens. Immediately afterward, this wave froze into a gigantic ice wall. Under the radiant light, this ice wall was sparkling and crystal clear, and bursts of chilly air oozed out from within it.
Um… Where should I go now?
After trying out this new technique, Su Qianyun started glancing around. However, she didn’t find any way out!
Behind the gigantic ice wall, a spatial passageway was radiating with a soft glow. Unfortunately, it just so happened to be hidden by the sparkling light which was radiating out from the ice wall…
Atop a tall black pagoda.
A blood moon hung high above the sky.
A true demon which had twin horns, crimson eyes, and a body full of scales was currently battling against an extremely powerful swordsman. Every time they clashed, a loud boom akin to the mighty roar of thunder could be heard.
The swordsman held the Divine Weapon, Dark Flash Sword, in his hands. In the end, he slashed out a perfect arc, sending forth a dark sword projection which managed to steal even the luster of the blood moon. This strike cleaved the pagoda into two and also ripped the true demon’s body into two halves.
“Congratulations! You have passed the trial of the True Demon Tribe!”
Yao Mingxi nodded lightly after hearing this voice. It appeared as if he was extremely pleased with how the battle went.
In some other realm.
Hu Guan was currently brawling against dozens of gigantic rock golems. His every punch hit a rock golem, and the refreshing feel had him feeling euphoric.
He was enjoying this fistfight immensely, so much so that he fought until he was badly battered and had his face covered with bumps and bruises.
After slaying the last rock golem, he was already riddled with wounds. However, his eyes were shining brightly, and he couldn’t help but raise his arms and shout, “That felt amazing! Is there anyone else?!”
Clearly, Hu Guan was feeling amazing.
In a dimly lit space, a bald male found these comments to be especially jarring and grating on the ear.
Each and every remark was like a sharp blade which pierced through his heart.
“It seems like they’re all enjoying themselves greatly! You’ve managed to turn these trials into something like amusement parks. Not bad…” Black Spirit Snake smiled faintly. However, in the eyes of the bald male, this smile was absolutely terrifying…
