Chapter 270: Chapter 222: Battle of the Divine Source

"Quick, rush into that temple—!" The voice of Ada on Su Yu’s shoulder became extremely serious. The temple’s two stone doors were slightly ajar, revealing a crack just wide enough for one person to pass through. Outside, the ground was covered with terrifying bricks and stones. The only way out was to rush into the temple—perhaps there was a chance of survival. Of course, it could also lead to an even more terrifying place.

The flying bricks and stones moved at an incredible speed. Just as Su Yu was about to rush into the gap of the giant door, these bricks and stones were already blocking his way, flying right at his face at high speed.

Su Yu knew that if he was blocked by these bricks and stones, the torrent of stones behind him would mean almost certain death.

In this moment of life and death, Su Yu roared. He didn’t dare to hesitate and instantly summoned all the power of the "Golden Blood" in his right hand. Scales began to emerge from the back of his right hand. These scales, shining with a golden light and resembling the structure of gold, stretched out to form a Golden Claw.

As the Golden Claw reached out, a "crunching" sound echoed, and the unceasing power of the Golden Blood exploded from within, forming a golden energy Light Sphere. The bricks and stones were instantly shattered into pieces.

Su Yu roared, stretched his right arm forward, and propelled his feet forward, rushing through the slightly open stone doors like a fast arrow.

"Ah—" The other two Level Five warriors screamed horribly and then suddenly fell silent. Su Yu, who just fell heavily on the ground, looked back in panic. Suddenly, he heard a "rumbling" noise—the stone doors behind him had closed tightly, creating a deafening "boom".

Su Yu lifted his head and was stunned by the sight.

He just rushed into the temple through the slightly open stone doors. Looking up, he was shocked to find an unimaginably large space before him. He couldn’t see the ceiling of this space. Around the stone walls, there were enormous stone doors one after another, a total of thirty. Most of them were tightly closed, with one, two, or three or four people sitting cross-legged in front of each one. Su Yu was one of them. The stone door behind him had just closed tightly too. Besides, a few stone doors were still slightly ajar, with no one in front of them.

"What...what is going on?" Su Yu was astonished. Those who already occupied spots in front of the doors glanced at Su Yu, then withdrew their gazes to sit cross-legged quietly, resting with their eyes closed.

Each of them emitted a terrifying aura. At the very least, they were all Level Five Powerhouses, and some of them were so powerful that Su Yu couldn’t even catch their auric emanations.

Among them, Su Yu noticed two black men, who looked somehow familiar. He soon remembered that when he first entered the Earth Elemental World, he had come across a team of five black men. The two black men present were members of that team. One of them was a short-haired black man with a small black mechanized device on his shoulder, and the other was covered in bloodstains, apparently having survived brutal battles to make it here.

Looking around at the huge stone doors and the powerhouses gathered in groups of twos and threes in front of them, Su Yu was completely stumped. Around half of those present had a Category 5 Lifeform on their shoulders, and each sat with their eyes closed in silence, seemingly awaiting something. Only Su Yu was clueless.

"Su Yu, don’t speak. Just watch and wait." Finally, Ada’s voice resonated in his mind.

A chill ran down Su Yu’s spine. He could feel the oppressive atmosphere and thought back to the teams he encountered in the Earth Elemental World and the mention of the "Divine Source". He had a vague feeling that everything here was probably related to that "Divine Source".

Suddenly, another figure rushed out from the gap of another slightly ajar door on the other side. The person somersaulted and scrambled to his feet, panting and looking somewhat disconcerted. The stone door behind him closed tightly with a "rumble".

The person looked at everything in front of him and then sat down cross-legged as if he already understood what this place was.

The remaining slightly ajar doors started to have people rushing in one after another. Some doors had individuals like Su Yu rush in alone, while others had two or three people rush in together.

No door had more than three people rushing in, revealing the brutality of gaining entrance through these stone doors.

Every time someone rushed in through a stone door, the door would close tightly behind them with a "rumbling" sound.

The number of closed doors grew, and many of the people sitting on the ground slowly rose to their feet, as if knowing that something was about to happen. Finally, three figures rushed in at once from the last door—the thirtieth door then closed tightly.

Su Yu, sharp-eyed and slightly taken aback, recognized the three figures that emerged from the last portal. They were none other than Jin Fuhua, the leader of Peach Blossom Town, and a sixth-order powerhouse, along with his trusted aides, Shield King Wang Yiping and Bat King Yang Huasheng.

Su Yu recalled that Jin Fuhua’s team should have had four members, but at that moment, only three appeared. It was clear that the fourth person must have met his end in this world.

This alone was evidence of the world’s terrifying cruelty.

As the last stone door closed, the grand hall, too high to see the ceiling, was suddenly awash with illumination. Amidst the bright light, a mechanical, emotionless voice echoed in everyone’s ears.

"Thirty teams assembled, with 57 Black Iron Warriors passing the test ..."

As the emotionless voice resonated in everyone’s ears, a heavenly pillar of white light rose from the center of the grand hall. Within the rising pillar of light, an image of an ethereal woman in a white robe, eyes closed, appeared. This radiant figure seemed to be shrouded in sacred light, akin to a goddess. Currently, the image of the radiant woman in the white robe hovered in the white pillar, her lips moving slightly, the spoken words echoing in the ears of each powerhouse in the magnificent temple.

Moreover, the language was mystically adaptable, understandable to each individual. In the temple, there were dark-skinned, golden-haired, blue-eyed Caucasians, as well as people from the East like Su Yu. Despite the many languages, the voice could be comprehended by all.

"Thirty teams? 57 passed? What on earth is going on?" Su Yu felt a sense of shock and confusion. In the magnificent hall before them, there were thirty stone doors. Could passing through these doors be the pass criterion? The number of people in the hall did indeed add up to fifty-seven.

Ada’s voice suddenly echoed in his mind: "We are in trouble, Su Yu, it’s too early for us!"

Ada’s voice sharpens, and the voice of the radiant woman in the sacred white light continues to echo.

"Within seven days, annihilate the other twenty-nine teams. The surviving team will receive a ’Divine Source’ reward. Now, the transmission begins—"

The mechanical female voice left all 57 Black Iron Warriors in the magnificent temple visibly shaken, and a chorus of startled cries rang out: "What?"

Immediately, white light burst from each person. Unresisting, they fell into deep circular pits at their feet. The thirty teams, the fifty-seven Black Iron Warriors, all vanished into the pits.

Su Yu blinked at the white expanse before him. When the white light disappeared, Su Yu found himself standing alone before a crumbling earth wall, desolate surroundings revealing ruins of massive rock walls and nothing more.

"What on earth happened?" Su Yu felt both shocked and stumped. When he raised his left wrist, he discovered an unusual device with a round screen had appeared without his notice. On the device, dozens of small red lights could be seen, with a blue light in the center and an arrow, seemingly indicating a direction.

"Ada, what the hell is going on?" Su Yu was totally clueless and flustered.

Ada’s expression was more serious than ever as he said in a deep voice: "Su Yu, calm down first. Let me explain. We are indeed in a dangerous situation."

Su Yu nodded, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself. "Ada, tell me. What’s going on and what is this strange device?"

"At your current level, this situation is extremely rare, only happening once or twice every month. In these instances, suitable candidates are chosen to embark on a special path of evolution. This time, the prize is the ’Divine Source’. The victorious will be awarded with the ’Divine Source’. Do you know what that means, Su Yu?"

Su Yu gasped. "The energy core of a god?"

"Yes, the victors will undoubtedly reap unimaginable rewards, but the process is extremely brutal. The chosen are primarily sixth-order warriors, occasionally including promising fifth-order warriors. Su Yu, you’ve just ascended to the fifth-order realm and should not have been chosen. However, you inadvertently entered that temple, and were counted as one of the teams eligible to compete for the ’Divine Source’, one of the thirty teams."
