The Invincible Supreme Medical God-Chapter 959 - 523: Genius Tower (Part 2)
With a sigh, Yan Xiaobao looked at this broken world, smiling at his friends. They were all filled with awe, their faces showing expressions of surprise.
After a long time in this world, they not only gained power, new abilities, and the chance to reach the formation of life, but they also understood what they would gain from their future experiences. There was no doubt that they would traverse broken realms and other worlds, forging their military paths so that they could defeat An Hee.
"We should establish a base in one of the broken worlds." Deng Wu said excitedly upon hearing the Bull's suggestion. Yan Xiaobao looked at Deng Wu and smiled, shaking his head. "Let's focus on the formation of life first. Then, we can consider such matters."
"But, will we be alright in a broken world? First, we need to know how to enter one. Secondly, once inside, we cannot let it collapse, and finally, we need to bring it to us. Through all these things, I reckon finding a suitable broken world for us won't be easy."
Hearing Yan Xiaobao's words, Deng Wu shook his head and sighed. "Well, one can always dream." He continued, and everyone shifted their gaze from the world ahead of them, refocusing on the black tower they stood upon.
Beside them was a set of stairs leading to the tower. Descending, one could see doors leading to rooms, and inside these rooms, the final judgment would conclude.
"When you complete the last trial, I will need everyone to ascend to the top of the platform once more. Once everyone is finished, I will tell you who has passed and, if any, who has failed. I will accept those who pass into the formation of life, and the rest will be cast out into this world," he said after a moment of hesitation, in a firm voice. "If you all perform well, I will give you something extraordinary." He added, and his words excited everyone; however, even without saying anything, the group was determined to overcome the final trial.
"Let's proceed." The Bull said as he headed toward the narrow stairs, taking the lead. As they moved downward, the others followed, but everyone took their time slowly. The wind here was powerful, with no railings to protect them; one mistake and they would plummet to their deaths.
It took about ten minutes for them to reach the first room. At the first room, Yan Xiaobao ordered Qiao to enter. Qiao was the smallest of the group, and it was clear she struggled the most on the stairs. She was just an expert ranked as the Emperor, and the wind was truly too strong. Allowing her to enter first, she no longer had to worry about the outside conditions.
The second person to enter was Lao, followed by Wang Julong and Sha Yun. After bidding farewell to these three, Deng Wu was the next to leave the group. Twenty minutes after Qiao's departure, Cai Jie and Yan Xiaobao finally found a room to test their talents.
Looking down, Yan Xiaobao saw at least ten more rooms below him; it seemed that the Gods had prepared these beasts for quite a number of expert teams.
Entering a room, Yan Xiaobao only knew what the Bull had told him. The final trial was a test of talent and also a test of reliance on one's power.
The room he entered was thirty by thirty meters. Inside, there was a window that allowed the light of the never-setting sun to pour into the room.
The light was insufficient to illuminate the dark room, but apart from him, there was nothing. There wasn't even a bed or chair in the spotlessly clean room.
As he began to slowly enter into meditation, Yan Xiaobao sat in front of the window, sitting there. Before he could fully immerse himself in meditation, he noticed something moving in the room. He immediately opened his eyes, warily scanning his surroundings.
"Welcome to the final trial of the Fire Trial." A majestic voice resounded, each word causing Yan Xiaobao to tremble, yet profoundly feeling immense joy.
This joy didn't stem from Yan Xiaobao himself, but from the brink of tears Lan Feng. "Father's voice!" he said in a hoarse voice, and Yan Xiaobao immediately understood why this voice was so powerful and majestic.
"The purpose of this Fire Trial is to test young talents daring enough to see if they possess the quality to enter the Immortal World."
"As time went on, fewer and fewer individuals were allowed to enter this realm, and after we decided to enter eternal slumber, we altered the trial's rules. Anyone who manages to pass the trial will be allowed to let life be with them and become Guardians of our world! The Beast God's World."
"If you just want to use the formation, then welcome to stay here, but if you want to bring it with you, then you will face some difficulties. The only ones who can undergo the formation of life and the Fire Trial are those who have yet to become Gods. If a God dares to enter, then... hahaha! They will meet a terrible end."
"This is just a warning. The final trial is not as difficult as others. All you need to do is prove your talents are above average. I'm looking forward to seeing your performance."
After this, the voice stopped speaking. Instead, an Energy Ball appeared in front of Yan Xiaobao. It swiftly assumed the shape of a Flame Soldier whom he had fought in the first trial. This was obviously an Ordinary Soldier, though this was his first trial; it was evidently not a simple test. Facing this expert, Yan Xiaobao was unsure if he would have any rest after the battle, so he decided to use as little energy as possible in his fight. As the final trial began, he charged at the General with both swords in hand and a determined expression on his face.
The General-level Flame Warrior wasn't formidable enough for Yan Xiaobao to use even the smallest amount of Qi; he activated Speed Flow and then accelerated toward the soldier. With swords in hand, Yan Xiaobao slashed downward, sending the head flying before the Flame Soldier could react.
It only took a few seconds, and he killed the General as easily as slaughtering a chicken. The minuscule amount of Qi used to activate Speed Flow was instantly restored from the dense essence of heaven and earth within the vast tower.
He was right in thinking there was no time to relax, for just as the General-level Flame Warrior died and vanished from the room, two more Energy Balls appeared. They formed into two Ordinary-level Flame Warriors.
Handling these two Generals with his two swords wasn't much more difficult than the first. Relying on Velocity Flow, he effortlessly evaded their initial attacks as he charged at the two experts. With a sweep of his sword, the two experts collapsed lifelessly to the ground. One was sliced in half, and the other was stabbed.
Yan Xiaobao felt no guilt for killing these experts. He still remembered the Bull speaking of the Nirvana Phoenix Flame, which could revive countless times regardless of how many deaths occurred.
If he claimed he wasn't interested in the Nirvana Phoenix Flame, Yan Xiaobao would be lying, but for him, the formation of life was more important. If he could only have one, he would choose the formation of life.
Though the Nirvana Phoenix Flame was astonishing, possessing the capability to revive, Yan Xiaobao wasn't foolish. He knew there were bound to be some negative aspects to this flame's existence. A flame that could eternally resurrect people was too much of a Heaven! It had to have a significant flaw, thus Yan Xiaobao was not overly interested.
As he saw four Energy Balls appear before him, these thoughts flashed through Yan Xiaobao's mind. They were, once again, Ordinary-level Flame Warriors and not difficult to deal with.
"I guess they start slow to ensure everyone has a chance," he muttered before activating Velocity Flow again and executing the four experts.
After the arrival of the four experts, there were eight, but even then, they couldn't compel Yan Xiaobao to use more than Velocity Flow. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
With the disappearance of the eight slain Generals, Yan Xiaobao couldn't help but wonder if he would face sixteen Generals next; however, only one Energy Ball appeared immediately afterward.
This Energy Ball was at least twice the size of others, manifesting into a large beast before Yan Xiaobao. This was a beast Yan Xiaobao had never seen before, but he understood that most experts were beasts when this realm was created. After all, he did come from the Divine Beast World.
