Chapter 724 - 718: Lords Pour In, the Competition Begins

Chapter 724: Chapter 718: Lords Pour In, the Competition Begins

"They’re here."

Sensing the approaching presence, Jiu Ying and Niu Fei, who were guarding the Divine Hall of Origin, squinted their eyes, becoming more alert.

The next second, the space twisted, and three figures appeared.

A terrifying aura spread out, enveloping the entire battlefield, causing both battling sides to involuntarily halt and look up at the sky.

"Celestial Kings!"

The Divine Children were shocked, immediately ordering their species armies to retreat and switch to a defensive stance.

The other True Gods were both frightened and delighted. With the simultaneous appearance of the three Celestial Kings, they finally had a chance to enter the Divine Hall of Origin.

"Niu Fei, Jiu Ying, what do you mean by blocking our entry into the Divine Hall of Origin?"

Among the three Celestial Kings, a man with a commanding aura, dressed in a dark gold robe, spoke in a deep voice.

"What do I mean? Isn’t it obvious?"

Niu Fei snorted coldly, his expression growing increasingly solemn.

With the three Celestial Kings appearing at once, if a fight truly broke out, their side would undoubtedly suffer.

Although they were confident they could hold off the other side, the demons below would inevitably suffer great losses, making it not worth the cost.

More importantly, they had already gained enough time for those Lords from the Lower Realm, making further careless stalling unnecessary.

"It should be about enough. If we involve the Demon Lord, one of those in the Divine Realm might also take action; it’s unnecessary," Jiu Ying softly said from the side.

Niu Fei nodded silently, saying nothing more but looked towards that man.

"If you want us to leave, you can fight me first. As long as you win, I’ll leave with my troops without another word!"

"That’s what you said."

The man’s face darkened, clearly confident in his strength.

Plus, Niu Fei had just recovered his power and hadn’t reached his peak state, so although it wouldn’t be easy to severely injure him, defeating him seemed highly possible.

Seeing this, the armies on both sides immediately retreated, moving away from where the two stood.

Yet they didn’t know.

Niu Fei’s lips had already curled into a sly grin of success.

Fighting the opponent was secondary; delaying time was his true objective.

He trusted his judgment of people, believing that the Lord from the Lower Realm would indeed shine brilliantly in the Divine Hall of Origin this time, thoroughly stirring up the murky waters of the Divine Realm.

The Main God’s Position was vacant.

Did they really think the other Three Great Divine Kingdoms would sit idly by?

With a cold snort, Niu Fei’s terrifying aura suddenly burst forth, fiercely clashing with the man’s, causing the whole sky to tremble violently.

All the Lords and demons looked in astonishment at the two confronting each other, avoiding staying behind and fleeing to distant places, fearing being caught in the battle.

Even Lin You inside the Divine Hall of Origin vaguely sensed their auras, startled enough to look back.

"Have the Divine Kingdom’s powerhouses arrived?"

Looking at the surging dark clouds outside the Divine Hall, Lin You murmured to himself, a slight sense of urgency finally welling up in his heart.

He quickly quickened his pace, walking towards the front hall while checking his personal interface with a glance.

[Name: Lin You (Lord)]

[Race: Human]

[Level: Tier Thirteen (Level 6 True God)]

[Power: 1.1 billion]

[Constitution: 1.1 billion]

[Agility: 1.03 billion]

[Spirit: 1.03 billion]

[Basic Skills: Multiple Mutations, Time Law, Twin Origin, Soul Bond - Main Body (Cyan Gang), Soul Bond - Affiliate (Shadowless)]

[Power of Origin (Twin): Species potential unlocked 120% (max 200%)]

[Introduction: Lord Attribute Interface, recording the specific strength and various skills of the Lord, unlocked after becoming a Lord.]

With the double potential boost of Twin Origin.

His Level 6 True God’s power had already surpassed Level 10 True God, with his attributes reaching a terrifying 1.1 billion.

Converted to levels, it should belong to the realm of Level 12 True God.

Although still insufficient to confront a Celestial God, dealing with those True God-level Divine Children wouldn’t be much of a problem.

After reviewing his upgraded attributes, Lin You finally passed through the door and entered the front hall.

To his surprise, the front hall was not as mysterious as he imagined, merely a spacious and luxurious palace.

The only thing noteworthy was the ten statues standing tall on both sides of the hall, each corresponding to the core of the ten elements.’ territories.

In front of each statue was a floating light sphere, inside which was wrapped a Golden Scroll, presumably the content of the second trial, without a doubt.

"Hmm?"

Suddenly, Lin You let out a soft exclamation, looking puzzled at the Angel Type statue.

The scroll in front of that statue was already gone, as if someone had taken it.

If he remembered correctly, among the Great Emperors entering the Divine Hall of Origin this time, only the Saint Emperor and Ji Yunshuang were of the Angel Type.

Could it have been taken by one of them?

Lin You wasn’t surprised at this notion.

After all, he had spent too much time in the Heart Demon Trial, plus his strength was the strongest, leading to the most challenging trial difficulty, making it naturally more difficult to pass easily.

Without overthinking, he immediately approached the Plant Type statue and picked up the scroll adorned with leaf patterns.

Swish!

A flash of light passed.

Upon regaining his senses, he found himself standing on a vast, desolate land.

Soon after, prompts echoed in his mind.

[Congratulations on successfully unlocking the second phase of the Divine Trial: The God of Life’s Gift]

[The Plant Type, representing life and protection, must have the ability to control and protect life.]

[This trial lasts for 3 hours, with only one entrant per element at a time; others can enter only after failure or completion.]

[Please persist in the trial space for 3 hours. The trial is considered completed once time is up; the trial begins!]

As the voice fell, a massive amount of death qi suddenly emerged on this desolate land, continually corroding his body.

In just a few breaths’ time, Lin You felt the vitality in his body rapidly dissipating, causing his expression to change dramatically.

"Lingxi, Void Nether!"

No hesitation was allowed; he immediately summoned Lingxi Void Nether and their Healing Legion to start using Healing Skills on himself.

Under the overlap of numerous Skills, the loss of vitality was finally halted.

Clearly.

The trial of this outer temple would test the territories based on their traits.

And the trial for the Plant Type focused on recovery ability and defense.

If the continuous loss of vitality was testing recovery, then defense ability...

"Roar!!"

As if responding to Lin You’s speculation, a roar echoed through the air.

Suddenly, around the barren land, a large number of Tier Thirteen Demons emerged, encircling them swiftly.

At a glance, almost all were Leader Level and above, with dozens of even Lord Level Demons mixed in.

"Damn!"

Lin You’s face turned green.

Just continuously using healing had already consumed a great deal, and now he had to resist a demon attack for 3 hours??

It’s essential to know that a Lord Demon was roughly equivalent to his Royal Species, and a Leader equivalent to Extraordinary Species.

The sudden appearance of so many, even considering the difficulty was adjusted by strength, is extremely overwhelming!

With an angry curse in his heart, he immediately summoned all his Royal and Species to construct a defensive line around.

"Cyan Gang War Chariot Shadowless, you are responsible for the front line command, block them."

"Lingxi Void Nether is responsible for healing, Hidden Dragon, the skies are yours, and Xing Kui’s energy recovery skills should be used carefully."

"The rest support, don’t leave Cyan Rattan’s Vine Forest."

"Understood!"

The thirteen Royals responded loudly, immediately taking their positions, spreading out from the center of the Vine Forest.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

In no time, the approaching demons clashed with the front line’s Ancient Tree and Iron Wall Nut Legions, each roaring and lunging forward.

Sharp claws and teeth kept hitting the species, tearing open breaches, increasing the pressure on the Healing Legion.

Lin You was sure, had he not risen to a Level 6 True God, he definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand this intensity of attack.

Especially those dozens of Lord Demons, each attack would heavily damage several of his Extraordinary Species, forcing them to retreat for healing.

"Hold your ground!"

The Cyan Gang at the forefront shouted, unleashing Barbaric Roar, with a burst of red light.

With the support of a 30% attribute boost, the Plant Army finally stabilized the situation, blocking off the demons.

The Royals also engaged those Lord Demons, not giving them a chance to breach the defenses.

Coupled with the effect of Cyan Rattan’s Bloody Realm, inflicting forced damage equal to 5% of the demons’ max HP per second within the Vine Forest range, the surging demon horde finally started falling in swathes.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a blast echoed.

The Big Cannon, carrying the power to penetrate stars, finally fired, its fierce flaming beam shooting out directly, blowing open the chest of a Lord Level Fire Simurgh.

"Screech—"

The Fire Simurgh shrieked miserably, plummeting from the sky.

With a 2.5x damage boost, the power of the Big Cannon’s Deadly Sniper reached over 250 million.

Even Lord Demons couldn’t withstand it, being instantly obliterated.

The Fire Simurgh Lord’s body quickly dissipated, transforming into a piece of golden-shining Crystal Stone gently falling down.

"Law Crystal Stone!"

Lin You’s heart shook; he thought the trial’s monsters were just illusions, yet he didn’t expect they could drop Law Crystal Stones too.

Looking again at the Leader Level Demons slain, indeed, many left behind pieces of crystal stones upon death, and all were Tier Thirteen.

The gift from the God of Life.

Could it be referring to this!?

Lin You’s breathing grew rapid.

Tier Thirteen Leader Demons were rare even in the Demon Realm, let alone being slaughtered in large numbers.

But now he was surrounded by them.

This was absolutely a golden opportunity to harvest Law Crystal Stones extensively!

No wonder those lords, despite knowing the scarcity of Divine Positions, still desperately sought entry here; the sheer volume of resources available could make countless lords go crazy.

"Haha, good!"

In an instant, the gloom in Lin You’s heart vanished, replaced by boundless joy.

He didn’t idle; he began using the Death Qi’s erosion damage to activate Phantom Walker, duplicating clones to join the battle.

The chaotic battle within the space fiercely continued.

...

"Boom!"

Outside the Divine Hall of Origin.

Terrifying power exploded in the sky.

After more than half an hour of fierce fighting, the bull-headed beast form of Niu Fei was finally repelled by the opposing Celestial King, landing back among the Demon Race with blood at the corner of his mouth.

"You lost."

The man’s hands trembled slightly, clearly not at ease either.

However, he forced himself to remain composed, speaking coldly, "As agreed, you can no longer block us from entering the Divine Hall of Origin."

"Don’t worry, I’m not like you, who love deceit. We’re leaving!"

With Niu Fei’s loud command, the Demon Race army finally retreated slowly, revealing the entrance to the Divine Hall of Origin.

The lords below, seeing this, gathered joyfully at once.

"Alright, time is of the essence, get in."

The man turned back, saying to the lords, then disappeared into the Divine Hall of Origin.

After being delayed by the Demon Race army for so long, the opening time of the Divine Hall of Origin was down to just over two days.

"Let’s go, we must get in, this time the Main God’s Position must be ours!"

"And we must catch up with Lin You, we cannot allow him to touch the Divine Position!"

The Divine Children exchanged glances, immediately following the man’s steps, along with the other lords, crossing the golden light and entering the divine hall.
