Chapter 193: The Divine Demon Trial
To Yun Tianlu, Yin Yingxin was without a doubt a terrifying enemy. This woman held no sense of justice or honor. To her, life itself was worthless.
Over the years, countless young talents in Longxi Province had fallen at her hands, turned into mere materials for her puppets.
Lu You seemed to notice Yun Tianlu’s thoughts and spoke in a low voice, “Don’t worry. Those who commit too many evil deeds will eventually meet their downfall. That woman will die at someone else’s hands sooner or later.”
Yun Tianlu nodded slowly, then turned his gaze toward the distant horizon.
There, stretching across millions of miles like an endless serpent, stood a towering wall with no visible end.
Eternal Fortress.
The Eternal Guardian, the last great bastion protecting humanity from the Abyss.
Without the Eternal Fortress, humanity would have struggled to survive to this day.
Yun Tianlu frowned slightly. He had been to Eternal Fortress many times, fighting against the Abyssal demons.
He knew how savage they were—how they attacked Eternal Fortress without rest, every moment of every day.
Yet today, Eternal Fortress was eerily quiet. The Abyss… was too silent. A sense of foreboding welled up in his heart.
“So this is the Divine Demon Trial.”
Qin Xian, Yin Yingxin, Qin Li, and their entourage stepped off the aircraft, gazing upon a sight of breathtaking magnificence.
A colossal gateway pierced the sky, towering beyond the clouds, seemingly reaching into the heavens themselves.
Before this immense structure, all things seemed insignificant. Humans felt as small as ants.
Even the most powerful warriors felt a deep sense of awe and trepidation.
In front of the gateway stood massive statues of gods and demons, each exuding a mysterious sentience, as though they were watching every challenger.
These statues were the first trial of the Divine Demon Trial. To enter, one had to stand before them and endure their judgment.
Though they were mere statues, they radiated a terrifying divine presence. Anyone whose willpower was weak would be instantly rejected.
It was said that half of all participants failed at this first step…
Yin Yingxin smiled coldly, her eyes flashing with bloodthirsty delight.
So many geniuses…How wonderful would it be if she could turn them all into puppets?
But she restrained herself. After all, they were already at the Divine Demon Trial—even she had to exercise some restraint.
Yin Yingxin glanced at Qin Xian beside her, her expression softening with rare affection. Truth be told, Qin Xian was not particularly warm toward her.
There was an undeniable arrogance in his demeanor, one that he didn’t bother to conceal.
This was a stark contrast to Chao Huang and Li Xun, who had desperately showered her with flattery, eager to win her favor.
But Yin Yingxin was not like ordinary women. She had always despised weak, fawning men. She scorned their pathetic attempts at affection.
In fact, the more a man idolized her, the more she found him disgusting.
But Qin Xian was different. He did not act subservient to her. He wasn’t overly distant, yet he showed no eagerness to please her either.
His composed and indifferent demeanor only made her more intrigued.
People are so foolish. The less someone values you, the more you desire them.
Qin Xian stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his eyes closed in contemplation.
Before him stood the gateway to the Divine Demon Trial—the closest point in the human world to the celestial sacred realm.
He could sense it. A presence watching him. A gaze that had been following him all this time.
Qin Xian slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He was looking forward to it.
After passing through the Divine Demon Trial, he would finally meet the will of his ancestors at the celestial sacred realm…
Elsewhere, Zhou Nan arrived at the trial grounds, his expression pale and exhausted, his breathing labored.
Many participants glanced at him in curiosity, noting his disheveled appearance.
But Zhou Nan ignored them all. He let out a deep sigh of relief that he could finally rest.
He hadn’t expected the assassins sent after him to come in waves. The first wave was just the beginning.
There was a second, a third… in total, five separate attacks. That woman truly wanted him dead. Her intent to kill him was absolute.
But somehow, he had survived it all. Now that he had reached the Divine Demon Trial, he doubted that the Ji Family’s assassins would dare make a move here.
Not with so many powerful geniuses around. And more importantly—this was Chu Family territory. For now, he was safe.
Still, his eyes burned with hatred. This journey had been a nightmare as he had nearly died multiple times.
But he had made it through. All thanks to his unique ability—Replication Talent.
His Replication Talent was beyond terrifying.
Not only had he copied the abilities of an SS-rank Necromancer High Priest, but he had also replicated many other professions.
Thanks to this, he could use skills from completely different disciplines.
A thief’s invisibility and ambush tactics.
A mage’s teleportation spells.
A warrior’s battle roars and vitality surges.
Abilities that should never coexist in a single individual…
He had them all. This made him unpredictable and nearly unkillable. Even level 40 professionals had failed to eliminate him.
Zhou Nan clenched his fists, his eyes burning with murderous rage, “That wretched woman… I swear I’ll kill her!”
His hatred for Ji Yuelan was unquenchable. She had tried to hunt him down like a dog. She had sent wave after wave of assassins. Now, he would make her pay.
One day, she would know what it felt like to be hunted.
Zhou Nan took a deep breath, glaring at the entrance of the Divine Demon Trial. He had endured hell to get here and now it was his turn to rise.
