Zhatian: I really have the qualities to be an emperor!

Chapter 284: The Trial Field of the Prodigy

Yang Zhu was personally received by the guide and rode on a dragon horse into the magnificent city before him.

The soldiers guarding on both sides were wearing cold iron armor, each holding a long spear or iron sword, with murderous intent, but one could still see astonishment and envy in their eyes.

They were all priests of the ancient road, but they were all defeated on that cruel road of proof, and unwilling to give up, they stayed and became soldiers.

"Is he really that strong..."

Guan Cheng stared at Yang Zhu without blinking, feeling uneasy.

It is the first time in tens of thousands of years that the guide of the first level of the human race comes out in person to welcome the practitioners!
"How did you know I arrived?"

When passing by the guide, Yang Zhu asked with great interest. After all, he had never revealed his identity along the way.

"There is a special formation in the city. If someone of the emperor's son level comes, there will be a reaction."

Hearing this, Yang Zhu just nodded slightly, and then, under the other party's guidance, went to the main building in the city to stay, instead of having to solve problems on his own like other practitioners.

"Let's go. At least we can wait a few days less."

Outside the city, practitioners entered the city one after another, but they felt inexplicably heavy and depressed in their hearts.

"The human emperor is here!"

On that day, the news of Yang Zhu's arrival spread like a hurricane, reaching every corner of the city at the fastest speed.

In addition to the first level, the news spread all the way along the ancient road, and even the trial-takers at the front knew about it.

"Emperor's son..."

Di Tian and his companions had been famous in the ancient world for decades. Now they have no rivals and are almost invincible.

But when I heard the news, my heart still skipped a beat. There is no need for too much explanation, the two words "Emperor's son" are enough to explain everything!
Those two words seemed to have a special magical power. Just hearing them could make people feel suffocated and unable to breathe...

“Haha, this is so cool!”

As night fell, Yang Zhu and his companions stood above the main city, overlooking the ancient city.

The moon was bright in the sky, and silver light spread out, covering the huge creature in front of the eyes with a layer of silver gauze, making it hazy and dim, as if it was bathing in starlight.

The thick city walls covered with traces of various swords, spears, swords and halberds are the "glory" left by history, adding a sense of eeriness and majesty to this place.

"There are ancient arrays at the bottom of the pass, at least made by a great sage. They can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon as a supplement, achieving an eternal and immortal effect."

Yang Zhu opened his divine eyes and could see that the ancient city was covered with many array patterns, which became even brighter at night.

The array pattern seemed to have life, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth like a human being. It was very magical.

"Yes."

The guide stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the ancient pass with deep eyes.

On the first night of the opening, even though the rules stated that no fighting could take place in the city, undercurrents and murderous intentions were still unavoidable.

Those experienced people are all easy-going people, so conflicts are inevitable. Given their temperaments, how could they give up easily?

So when it's late at night and everyone is asleep, some people can't help but act impatiently. The guides and soldiers are used to this and most of them turn a blind eye.

As long as things are not brought to the surface, I don't want to interfere too much, because this can also be considered a kind of experience.

"It's a huge undertaking. I need to study it carefully."

The big black dog was very accomplished in formation. He was also amazed by the formation here. He immediately began to comprehend it and was fascinated.

A quarter of an hour later, Yang Zhu withdrew his divine eyes and gained a lot of insights.

"It is indeed a good choice to retreat here."

He casually reached forward and caught all the stars in the sky in his hands. They were crystal clear, dazzling, and had a majestic energy flowing through them.

His figure became shaky and merged into the void. He took a step forward and sat cross-legged above the first level.

In an instant, all the star power within a thousand miles was attracted, gathered towards it, and was completely absorbed.

The formation under his feet suddenly dimmed a lot, and it was difficult to compete with it.

"Woo..."

The next day, a long horn sounded, vast and distant, as if it came from ancient times, like the cry of the ancient human ancestors.

In the city, everyone stood up and gathered silently towards the square in the center of the city.

"I have only one purpose for entering the trial field today, to gain the profound truth of that world. If you don't have this kind of understanding, stop here!"

The guide appeared in the square with a serious look and brief words, as if he was unwilling to say another word.

"I will lead you!"

A powerful commander stood up and chanted an ancient spell that sounded like the sound of sacrifice from his ancestors.

"boom!"

The void above the square cracked open, and a special altar emerged. It was so huge that no one felt crowded after standing on it.

A huge beam of light shot out, penetrating the universe, tearing open a wide space channel, leading to the unknown other shore.

Under the leadership of the commander, a group of practitioners climbed onto the altar in an orderly manner and entered the tunnel.

"Let's go."

Yang Zhu came out of his training state, and brought Hei Huang and Long Ma with him. In a moment, they arrived at the square and went to the trial field with everyone.

I don’t know how long it took, but when everyone left the tunnel, a huge island suddenly appeared before their eyes.

It is more magnificent than an ancient star, with an air of eternal vicissitudes. It has gone through countless catastrophes, and it lies here, leaving endless legends for future generations.

"The trial field will be opened, and your road to success will begin. Will there be an emperor who will amaze the world? We will wait and see!"

Bringing everyone to the Divine Island, the commander began to briefly introduce the rules.

"The island is divided into..."

This island is called the Fallen Saint Island, and it is divided into forty-nine areas. There is a barrier between each area. Every time you cross a barrier, you will be bound by shackles weighing millions of pounds.

At that time, it would undoubtedly be more difficult to kill others across domains.

The very center of the island is a forbidden area, extremely dangerous, and no one knows how terrifying the existence is inside.

Even the commander did not dare to set foot there easily, as he was very wary.

"Isn't that Ye boy?"

When Hei Huang saw Ye Fan among the crowd at once, he was surprised and happy. It seemed to be a real coincidence.

However, his situation is not optimistic, as he has already had conflicts with many people off the court.

The Thirteen Riders of Tianhuang, the middle-aged Taoist nun, Lan Feng, and Hong Liu are all rare heroes whose strength should not be underestimated.

"Do you need me to take action?" Yang Zhu looked and heard a divine voice in the dark.

"Thank you very much. I want to solve it myself. Don't worry, I am sure of it."

Ye Fan nodded from a distance, thanking Yang Zhu for his kindness, but he was not afraid of those people. At worst, he could just kill them all!
"boom!"

Seeing this, Yang Zhu didn't say anything, but was the first to move. With one step forward, a bright road emerged, the heaven and earth roared, all the roads moved at the same time, and all kinds of strange visions emerged.

He did not choose any of the entrances to the forty-nine areas, but instead stepped across the endless space and reached the top of the central restricted area. Then, he disappeared from the eyes of the onlookers.

"What a powerful method!"

"Is this the emperor's son? He is indeed very strong and he directly charged into the central restricted area."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat. The trial had just begun, but Yang Zhu had already shown such courage, which really put a lot of pressure on them.

After Yang Zhu, Yuxian, Kutou Seng, Tuoba Yu and Ouyemo walked out one after another and each chose a foreign land to enter.

They already had a great reputation, their strength was hard to guess, and they all tacitly separated themselves into more than one domain to avoid conflict.

Yang Zhu and the other two descended. The vegetation here was lush, with ancient vines and tall old trees. It was a pristine landscape.

However, amidst the lush greenery, there was a sense of wildness and antiquity, and a heart-pounding murderous intent permeated the air.

"puff!"

The Heavenly Sword flew across the sky, flashing brilliant divine light and splashing blood. A Saint-level wild beast that pounced on it was split in half on the spot!

It was a kind of black ant with two horns, dozens of feet long, and covered with fine black scales, comparable to the most perfect armor.

His cultivation had already broken through the Saint realm, but he still couldn't withstand a single blow from Yang Zhu's Heavenly Sword!
"Hiss, the beast that came up is a saint-level beast, so the depths must be..."

Longma was horrified. According to what the commander said, there must be an extremely terrifying existence here.

"If you can't do it, leave now and don't embarrass yourself. Just wait outside."

The Black Emperor gave him a disdainful glance and sneered continuously.

"What are you talking about? I've been here for so many years, how could I be afraid of this?!"

Hearing this, the dragon horse's mane stood on end in anger, divine flames spewed from its nostrils, and it talked non-stop.

Yang Zhu, holding the Heavenly Sword in his hand, walked towards the deepest part. Not long after, he saw a mountain a hundred feet high, which was split in half by human power.

“This is actually a mountain made of divine material, which was split open and its essence taken away.”

Yang Zhu was stunned. The surface of the mountain in front of him was covered with green plants, but the mountain body was made of a pitch-black divine material, which was extremely rare. It was definitely more than enough to forge holy weapons!

To cut it in half with one sword, one would need at least the strength of a Saint King.

"What a pity, the essence has been taken away."

The Black Emperor secretly sighed that it was a pity. The materials needed to refine the peerless holy weapon were extremely rare. If they could be obtained, their value would be immeasurable.

They continued forward and entered a valley between two huge mountains. The moment they stepped in, a strong smell of blood hit their noses.

Before my eyes, there were blood and bones everywhere. Various corpses were lying on the ground, many of which had been trampled into bloody mud. Blood was flowing everywhere, as if I had come to an ancient battlefield.

"Eh... Damn, you scared me."

Longma accidentally stepped on a head. He didn't know how many years had passed, and the skin and flesh had long since melted away, but it still had a crystal-like luster.

It was only because the head rolled in a pool of blood, stained with foul-smelling black blood, that it aroused disgust.

"Most of the corpses here do not belong to the human race. Could it be that some trial participants slaughtered them here before?"

Hei Huang soon discovered something unusual. There were corpses everywhere, but it was easy to recognize that they were from an unknown creature.

As for the human race, there were only a few.

"Let's go."

Without staying too long, Yang Zhu and his team quickly left here and continued to go deeper.

Next, they passed through many dangerous places, more than thirty in total.

There are fields formed by the chaotic energy, fire caves that spit out divine flames, and killing arrays set up by other creatures...

They also often encounter powerful creatures, many of whom are saint-level with terrifying cultivation, and most of them are dormant in their habitats.

However, Yang Zhu's aura was too strong. That vast energy and powerful force of the avenue, before it even got close, had already shocked many saint-level wild beasts.

How to say it, it's like the opponent's health bar and Heavenly Sword are already hitting your face before the battle even starts.

Of course, there were also those who were not afraid of death and rushed forward to attack, but the result was that the wild beasts razed the area within dozens of miles of their habitat to the ground and turned it into ashes.

Yang Zhu swept all the way and nothing could stop him.

"You know what, there are indeed a lot of good things!"

The Black Emperor did not do much along the way, he was just busy searching for treasures. After four days, he obtained eight small medicinal kings that were more than 20,000 years old.

The number of other ancient and precious treasures is even more difficult to count.

Finally, Yang Zhu and his companions stopped at the foot of a cliff. Under their feet was a chaotic divine waterfall, thousands of feet long, cascading down from the bluestone mountain.

The Chaos Divine Waterfall flows, overflowing with colorful rays of light and filled with spiritual energy. It is an excellent place for training and tempering weapons.

"This is the center of the island. The Divine Waterfall is formed by gathering the life essence from other areas. You can temper your body here."

After saying that, without waiting for the two to react, Yang Zhu threw them down and suspended them a few feet away from the Chaos Divine Waterfall.

"Ah! No, I...all my bones are broken..."

A wisp of chaotic mist was as heavy as a mountain. Just one wisp falling down broke more than a dozen of Longma's bones, causing him to scream in pain.

The big black dog bared his teeth. Under the baptism of the chaotic energy, he felt as if his body was about to explode. The severe pain made his body tremble.

But after all, he has been baptized by many divine materials, and his physical body is unparalleled in the same realm, even Longma can hardly reach it.

"Wang!"

So he felt better, occasionally barking like a dog, but not screaming like a dragon or horse.

It is more than enough to refine the holy weapons here. You can imagine how painful it is to temper the body. It is not something that ordinary people can endure!
They knew that this was a great opportunity to temper themselves, so after shouting for a while, they began to grit their teeth and persevere.

Even if the skin and flesh exploded and the white bones were exposed, there would be no more ghostly howling.

"Maybe you can take this opportunity to break through."

After the situation stabilized, Yang Zhu sat down on the cliff. Suddenly, the divine waterfall was like the sea, and he absorbed all of it and transformed it into pure divine power.

Two days later, the fight between Big Black Dog and Longma finally came to an end. At this moment, both of them were covered in blood, with their skin torn and flesh exposed, almost turning into bloody mud.

They quickly found a place to recover, and after just two days, not only had they recovered completely, but their realm had indeed skyrocketed!

Moreover, their physical bodies have been greatly improved again, and even the holy soldiers cannot do anything to them easily!
"Woof! This emperor is only one step away from becoming a semi-saint. It is easy for me to receive the holy weapon!"

The big black dog's fur became even more translucent, and it laughed wildly. It raised its paw and clapped its hands. Several huge mountains in front of it suddenly turned to ashes. It was extremely terrifying.

"when……"

On the twelfth day after entering, a bell rang throughout the Holy Island of the Dead. The time was up and all trial participants had to leave this place, otherwise they would be sealed here.

"Princess, are we leaving?" asked the big black dog.

"Then let's go."

Yang Zhu came out of his state and used his supreme magical power to intercept the divine waterfall along with the entire mountain and put them into the chaotic fairyland.

　I feel like I've failed again. I'm going to speed up the plot. I don't want to waste time on it.
