Chapter 934 - 412

Chu Xiu’s gaze descended from another dimension, quietly observing the four fully equipped individuals.

From the high-dimensional perspective, Chu Xiu even saw their connection with their respective Awakening Spaces, which had yet to dissipate.

There is no doubt this is an ascension trial, and it was the sudden arrival of these four that abruptly increased the brightness of the point of light.

"Is it a four-person cooperation type of trial?"

"Hiss, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a simple trial."

He only collaborated with others during the Warrior Tier trial; for the Fierce Tier trial, he was practically carrying others solo, and later he didn’t even have teammates.

However, the ordinary Heroic Spirit Trials are already difficult enough, and some Civilization Envoys, during secure periods, wouldn’t choose the Ancient Trials, preferring just ordinary trials, especially those from great families.

After all, for them, a secure ascension is more important compared to the extra rewards.

Only monsters like him challenged trials that became more perverse each time.

Looking at the four below, Chu Xiu thoughtfully rubbed his chin.

"These guys have quite decent equipment."

"And it looks really... advanced."

The depth where the Trial Ground is located usually correlates with difficulty.

Although this is not certain, exceptions occur occasionally, but by and large, this rule is universal.

Heroic Spirit Trials on Blue Star are at a depth around twenty thousand, while Demigod Trials for Heroic Spirits ascending to Demigod Tier are basically between thirty thousand to forty thousand.

Chu Xiu presumed that given the difficulty of the tribulation, the depth would have to be at least over fifty thousand, and it wouldn’t be surprising if it soared to a hundred thousand.

Encountering a King Tier Heroic Spirit Trial in such a place could only mean one thing.

"These guys are from an advanced civilization."

As civilizations develop, the worlds they inhabit continually submerge in the Abyss.

For instance, Blue Star’s initial depth was only three to four hundred, but in recent years, it has dropped to six to seven hundred.

And it’s worth noting that since the emergence of the Awakened on Blue Star, it’s been less than fifty years.

Civilizations that have existed for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, merely the depth of their home worlds could be in the tens of thousands!

The coordinate Xie Xuanzhao gave to Chu Xiu, although the horizontal coordinate needs the Celestial Derivation Civilization’s lighthouse for calibration, the depth unmistakably marked at one million seven hundred and eighty thousand!

At such a depth, even during the initial Awakening Trials, there’s a chance of encountering peering from High-dimensional Creatures if luck is bad, and if the civilization lacks strong protective shields, it might get invaded by the Abyss tens of thousands of times a day!

Looking at their various peculiar equipment, Chu Xiu became even more certain of this point.

"If they’re from an advanced civilization, isn’t there a chance to inquire about Free Deep Diving from them?" Chu Xiu’s eyes slightly brightened.

"Even if they don’t know, when they separate, I could follow along to investigate; at the very least, observe how the Abyss achieves super-long-distance transmission..."

With this in mind, Chu Xiu didn’t hesitate, simultaneously monitoring the dynamics of the four below and mobilizing his entire intent to accelerate towards the point of light.

...

"Xi Ya, what are you looking at?"

Upon hearing her companion’s exchange, the white-haired girl on the altar slowly withdrew her gaze.

"I seem to have a feeling of being spied on..." Xi Ya transmitted her thoughts.

"Probably just the so-called God of Hunting," the tall, thin man who spoke with her earlier sighed, "for now, focus your attention on the task."

"Which one... should we choose?"

Xi Ya did not answer, merely looking quietly at the light screen in front of her.

[Trial of Outer Realm Demon Gugoru·Honduras]

[Trial Tier: King Tier]

[Trial Task: Survive the ritual of the God of Hunting.]

[Trial Description: Outer Realm Demon Gugoru·Honduras is a powerful existence with a deep love for hunting, revered by its followers as the God of Hunting. Every year, a hunting ritual is held to please this formidable existence.

Three months ago, unable to endure, the Human Race, led by the hero Cang Kai, breached the capital but was subsequently entirely suppressed by the descending Divine Envoy.

Now, they need to atone to the gods with their lives.]

[Hunting Ritual: Time limit of one day, within a radius of three hundred miles. Every quarter hour, prisoners from one layer of the ceremonial tower are released from low to high. After all prisoners have left, the hunters can take action at the next quarter hour, and either kill all prey or survive until the time limit is up to successfully complete the trial.]

[Military Governor: Handled personally by the Divine Envoy and its guards, who will hunt the hunters. The intensity dynamically adjusts based on the hunters’ Hunting Points; the higher the points, the lower the intensity of the Military Governor.]

[Hunting Points: Obtained by killing prey. The higher the Tier and strength of the prey killed, the higher the points. Some special targets provide extra bonuses. After the ceremony, items can be exchanged with the God of Hunting.]

[Sacred Hunt: A special buff during the ceremony. Each prey killed provides the hunter with a certain energy bonus. Prey can also hunt each other. Killing three of the Same Tier or one of a High Tier removes the ’prey’ identity, protecting under the rules and preventing further hunting.]

[Trial Rewards:...]

Xi Ya looked heavily at the panel before her, then glanced at the prisoners kneeling on each level of the altar. A flash of anger appeared in her light blue pupils.

"Don’t act rashly, Xi Ya," her tall, thin companion advised softly, "I know you want to protect these humans, but this trial, following the rule and resisting the rule, are two completely different challenges!"

"That Divine Envoy you saw is definitely of Heroic Spirit Level strength! If it were an ordinary Heroic Spirit, that’d be one thing, but Heroic Spirits that become Divine Envoys receive their master’s power boost, and fighting such an existence is too risky."
