Chapter 874. Heaven Trial (1/2)

Wang Lin’s body was filled with thunder and crisp popping sounds could be heard in the silence. Wang Lin silently pondered a bit before walking forward. Crunching sounds could be heard as he walked across the collapsed stone square.

The moment he stepped outside the square, all the other participants took a step back. They all looked at Wang Lin with fear in their eyes.

After a moment of silence, the surrounding cultivators began chatting with each other. This was far outside of everyone’s expectations. This Xu Mu had left an unforgettable impression in the minds of all the surrounding cultivators.

“In the human trial, he battled Russell. In the earth trial, he devoured the thunder spirit. This is not something an ordinary cultivator can do! I just don’t know how this Xu Mu will do in the heaven trial!”

“Master Demon Xu Mu! He is indeed powerful. Today I’m finally convinced of all the rumors!”

“This person is definitely not someone to underestimate. It is best not to provoke him. He will definitely be top three in the competition!”

Even some of the old monsters’ eyes were lit up. There was a hint of admiration in their eyes as they looked at Wang Lin. What their Allheaven Star System needed were junior cultivators like this!

In particular, the Xiang family ancestor nodded. The more he looked at Wang Lin, the more he liked Wang Lin. He couldn’t care less about the Thunder Celestial Temple’s loss. He just thought that this Xu Mu was very much like the members of his own clan; there was a sense of an evil aura about him!

The messengers in the sky were speechless and no longer beat the drum. In their minds, if Xu Mu persisted, even if they beat the drum until it was smashed into pieces, there wouldn’t be any point. They looked at each other and revealed wry smiles. However, their gazes toward Wang Lin contained no jealousy, there was actually a trace of admiration.

Wang Lin turned a blind eye to all of this. After leaving the square, he clasped his hands at Master Flamespark and said, “Junior made a mistake. I hope Senior won’t mind.” His words were very much like his senior’s, Qing Shui’s. When Celestial Lord Qing Shui heard this, he revealed a smile.

Master Flamespark smiled and said, “No harm done. Giving up a mere thunder lake and the clone of a thunder spirit to help a powerful junior become stronger is worth it. As for destroying the thunder lake, just obtaining enough military exploits in the battle against the Alliance Star System will be enough!” With that, he pointed with his right finger. With this point, the world seemed to shake and endless origin energy gathered. The origin energy suddenly turned into a rune.

This rune was filled with vitality. Wang Lin’s pupils shrank. He could clearly feel a trace of source origin energy in that rune!

Although it was only a sliver, it filled this rune with endless power!

Master Flamespark flicked his finger and the rune flew out to the square. The moment the rune landed, the origin energy scattered. The sliver of source origin energy also went into the square. The surrounding cultivators all exclaimed as the cracked square began to reform as if time was rewinding.

Even the stones that had turned to ash and dissipated reappeared from the void and formed the square once more.

All of this occurred in an instant. The entire square had returned to normal; the only difference was that there was no thunder.

After Wang Lin watched at all of this unfold, he seemed enlightened.

“The next will be the last of the three trials, the heaven trial!” Master Flamespark turned to Li Yunzi and said, “Fellow Cultivator Li Yun, please!”

Li Yunzi raised his right hand and reached out at the void. A crack appeared and cold air blasted out from inside it. Then Li Yunzi reached into the crack and pulled out a scroll.

This scroll was old, and it gave off an ancient aura.

After taking out the scroll, Li Yunzi threw it and it flew into the air. In the air, the scroll gave off a black glow as it slowly opened, revealing what was inside.

There was only one word on the scroll!

“Battle!”

Although it was only one world, it gave off intense killing intent. If on looked at it, they would feel like they were on an asura battlefield!

“The Zhan family’s treasure, the Battle Scroll!”

“One of the 10 treasures of the Allheaven Star System, the Battle Scroll. Only the Zhan family members are allowed to view it, but this time it was able to broaden my horizons!”

“It is that treasure! Rumor has it that the Zhan family originally wasn’t named ‘Zhan,’ but then their ancestor found this treasure by accident. After painstakingly cultivating it, they changed their name to Zhan and became the battle clan of the Allheaven Star System!”

Waves of chatter echoed. Li Yunzi’s eyes were calm as he said, “This old man will be in charge of the heaven trial!” His voice was calm as he casually waved his right hand.

A gentle breeze blew by. Dozens of people were immediately blew away without any resistance. They flew into the transfer array and disappeared.

The people that were sent away were all the people that couldn’t pass the second trial. Now there were only 147 left!

“The heaven trial is to comprehend this old man’s Battle Scroll for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, don’t bother opening your eyes, I’ll know if you’re qualified!” Li Yunzi’s words made the surrounding cultivators confused. However, given his prestige, everyone quieted down.

Li Yunzi looked at Zhan Konglie and slowly said, “Zhan Konglie, you come first!”

“As Ancestor orders!” Zhan Konglie took a deep breath and took a step forward onto the newly formed square. He looked up at the motionless Battle Scroll and entered a strange stage as if he was being completely absorbed by the Battle Scroll!

Wang Lin stared at Zhan Konglie, and after a moment, his expression became serious. After eight seconds, it seemed as if Zhan Konglie’s divine sense had split into two and one portion had fused with the Battle Scroll.

Just at this instant, a sliver of source origin energy almost 100 times weaker than what Master Flamespark displayed came out from the Battle Scroll. However, at 10 seconds, it collapsed as if Zhan Konglie’s body wasn’t able to accommodate that extremely weak trace of source origin energy.

It would be very difficult for ordinary cultivators to notice this. If Wang Lin hadn’t seen the third step inside the heaven defying bead, he would not have noticed this secret. However, what he saw set off a huge wave in his heart!

Wang Lin gasped. “That Battle Scroll contains source origin energy!”

Li Yunzi’s voice was calm as he slowly said, “Zhan Konglie, qualified!”
