Just like the previous trials, with the internal power of the Dragon Palace Token being activated, Chaos Giant Ape arrives again in the space where another Ice Crystal Palace is located.

Compared to the previous tier-seven and tier-eight trials, this space's Ice Crystal Palace is even more majestic.

The palace, towering at a hundred kilometers, stands like an Ice Crystal Divine Mountain beneath the deep sea, with thick walls on either side resembling mountain walls formed by peaks.

On each kilometer-wide ice pillar supporting the front, sculptures of ferocious colossal beasts are engraved.

Among them are the blue giant crab, one-horned giant whale, nine-headed Flood Dragon, mountain-bearing Dragon Turtle, and elongated red beast resembling a dragon.

Besides these, there are four dragons in gold-blue, white, cyan-white, and crystal-red colors and a gray giant python no less daunting than the dragons. A creature with a human head, snake body, and six arms similar to a Naga also appears.

Though these beings are merely sculptures, they possess an elusive divine charm that exudes a terrifying aura far beyond True God level.

As the Chaos Giant Ape surveys the palace square, the terrifying will residing within the ten-thousand-meter-long silver ice crystal dragon coiled on the throne awakens in the palace depths. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Boom!

Its colossal body, over ten kilometers long, rises, spreading a boundless white wave like mountains and seas to all directions.

Though this silver giant dragon condensed from ice crystals is slightly smaller than the Ninth Rank Giant Beast that once invaded the real world, its aura is dozens to hundreds times stronger.

The dragon's head, crowned with nine horns, and its scale-armored wings slightly unfold, giving a feeling of eclipsing the sun and sky.

The ice dragon slightly turns its head, its eyes glowing with silver brilliance penetrating the palace, falling onto the Chaos Giant Ape in the square a hundred kilometers away, its mouth slightly opens.

Immediately, the solemn and mighty dragon roar resounds through the heavens and earth.

"That year, a human approached me, saying they planned to exile the solar system world that once birthed them, hurling it into chaos beyond the heavens to recreate the world."

"Though I didn't know what she intended, I agreed to bring in Ao Tian's scale armor."

"This scale armor carries a wisp of its aura, which can aid all beings in a transcendent evolution, breaking shackles to become life forms of a higher dimension."

"However, acquiring this scale armor isn't that simple; I set a special condition."

"Those who enter the Ice Crystal Palace must have dual life forms of human and giant beast like it once did, or they won't activate the Dragon Palace Token."

"Originally, even if this cosmos accelerated its evolution for millions of years, as epochs alternate, no one could meet the conditions."

"Unexpectedly, divine fate triggered my will," the silver dragon murmurs as a black storm mixed with ice crystals erupts around it.

Boom!

The destructive ice and snow storm directly obliterates the indestructible Ice Crystal Palace, revealing two giant beasts amidst the ice mountains.

"This body is condensed from a wisp of my power, and though the current realm is suppressed to match your early-tier nine level, it's invulnerable without mythical power."

"You have to hold out for half an hour or inflict a bit of damage on this ice crystal body of mine to pass the trial."

"Back then, upon entering the ninth tier, it slew a mythical giant beast; to gain its scale armor, you must exhibit at least a hint of emperor potential."

As the silver giant dragon roars, sensing its growing destructive aura, Chaos Giant Ape dares not slack.

Roar!

The majestic and fierce roar shatters ice mountains, blazing golden light bursts from the giant ape, resembling a great sun rising from the earth.

From the golden light, a towering giant ape over four kilometers high slowly emerges, blazing with golden flames that spew over a thousand meters, forming a rotating halo at its back.

Instantly, a nearly True God-tier nine aura spreads, pure and potent.

Upon reaching the ninth tier, the mythical bloodline's amplification makes the Chaos Giant Ape's combat prowess equivalent to just entering late-tier nine, reaching the level of condensing the third Celestial Dao.

In the Great Sun form, its triple body enlargement and fifty-fold breakthrough amplification leap directly over the fourth Celestial Dao, attaining quasi-True God level.

Crack! Crack!

Now, as the Great Sun Fierce Ape stands, even the space around cannot bear its presence, forming black cracks that appear and heal continuously.

Such might leaves the silver giant dragon somewhat moved.

"Roar! Yes, this form is more like a giant beast."

Amidst the roar, the grand figure of the silver giant dragon shoots out, and amidst sweeping black storms, it instantly appears over the Great Sun Giant Ape's head, its claw swung down.

Boom!

The black storm mixed with ice crystals meets the golden flames, akin to two worlds colliding, unleashing a world-shaking boom.

Amid the collision of forces nearly on the brink of a Divine Domain level, the enormous silver dragon claw tears through everything, wielding heaven and earth destruction power in its sweep against the incoming golden giant pillar.

Boom boom boom!

Centered on the Great Sun Fierce Ape, the ice layer beneath explodes within a range of several hundred kilometers, myriad immense ice fragments mixed with rocks hurtling over a hundred kilometers high.

Roar! The Great Sun Fierce Ape, its foot almost busting the space beneath, roars, clasping the giant pillar with its arms, steadfastly repelling the silver giant dragon's claw.

The chaotic clashes of golden flames and black snowstorm between the two beasts emit energy halos akin to countless tactical nukes exploding, deafening in their rumble.

Such potent power, is this the fierce strength of ancient dragons? The Great Sun Giant Ape shows a hint of surprise in its eyes.

Ape-kind is known for their power, and the Great Sun form, amalgamating the seven Era Powers minus Divine Weapon, further amplifies its might to the extreme.

Yet, even so, facing this equally early-tier nine dragon, the match is nearly equal.

At this moment, the silver giant dragon's claw explodes with energy, repulsing both sides as it turns at an astonishing pace defying its size, its robust tail becoming a sweeping silver belt.

The dragon's ice blade-shaped tail tip, slashing through space, forms a parallel semicircular black curtain obscuring sight.

The blade's invisible sharpness makes the Great Sun Giant Ape sense impending danger, feeling the tail blade could break its defense.

Roar!

The giant ape roars, its right foot as pivot, twisting as soon as the silver giant dragon's claw shakes it off, driving the golden giant pillar to sweep again.

Boom!

The dragon tail ice blade is blocked by the golden giant pillar; upon impact, nearby space collapses, instantly shattered by the pure strength unleashed by the two giant beasts.

Psst! Psahar!

The transient black space storm spanning over ten kilometers is already torn by the colossal silver dragon claw.

As the dragon tail swings, the silver giant dragon already turns back with a claw strike, its figure agile to the extreme, leaving no time for the opponent to react in its relentless assault.

Furthermore, this time its dragon claw's five fingers flicker with countless red runes, creating a gravitational field akin to a black hole's pull.

At the field's epicenter lies a world compressed ten thousandfold, melding endless black storms and ice crystals, exuding unparalleled destruction.

Martial Dao! Witnessing this scene, even the Great Sun Fierce Ape is a bit stunned.
