Chapter 549: Chapter 424: The Right to Transcend This World

With a deafening "boom," the temple suddenly exploded, and a gigantic shadow descended like a sweeping hurricane. Majatai looked back, petrified. He knew that the ominous shadow he now faced was his own father, a monster who was just a step away from leaving this world. He too, had evidently received the summons to become one of the selection candidates for the trial this time.

Meanwhile, both Su Yu and Ouyang Nuo, currently in "Black Iron City," also received the same message. They were left bewildered. Ada glanced at Su Yu and chuckled, "Su Yu, who would’ve thought you’d be so lucky? You were chosen twice in a row. The odds of being chosen are less than one in a hundred thousand."

Su Yu was not in the mood to make light of the situation. Having experienced the trial once, he knew it offered great opportunities but was also incredibly brutal. The "Black Iron Guardian" had only mentioned the ultimate reward — the ability to exit this world — without revealing any specific details about it.

Ada slowly spoke, "This time, the maximum team size is twenty people. Evidently... this trial is not going to be easy, Su Yu. Hurry and assemble your team. We have only two days to reach the trial temple, otherwise, we will all be eradicated. All 500 people who made a symbiotic contract with me will die."

Su Yu realized that once selected for this sort of trial, participation was mandatory. There was no possibility of retreat; he had to go. But who should he bring?

Meanwhile, Ouyang Nuo was already issuing orders loudly, under the guidance of his category 5 lifeform, to assemble the strongest twenty individuals with whom he had a symbiotic relationship and form a team.

Neither Su Yu nor Ouyang Nuo had expected that they would be selected simultaneously and that they each needed to organize a squadron. Sharing bitter smiles, they understood their situation was mandatory. Su Yu just patted his shoulder, warned him to be careful, and said, "See you in the trial temple." Then, he went to gather his crew.

Though the trials were treacherous, they also represented opportunities. Especially at such a time when a retreat was not an option. Failure would mean complete annihilation for everyone. Moreover, no one knew whether Majatai of the "Sand City" would seize the trial period for revenge. Therefore, the safest course of action seemed to be to take everyone into the trial ground. Thus, Su Yu quickly summoned individuals like Su Yun, Ma Ziye, and Zhang Zhongmou.

Among those who had established a symbiotic contract with Ada, the twenty strongest individuals quickly gathered. Su Yu had not known how to negotiate with Yuan Niping and Qin Jiagui, so he left them undisturbed. However, when everyone began to congregate, a thin Qin Jiagui and a pale, blood-drained Yuan Niping separately entered from two different entrances of the main hall.

"Ni Ping—" Su Yun and Lei Rui quickly rushed up and supported Yuan Niping.

Su Yu furrowed his brows and said, "Qin Jiagui, you..."

In just a few days, Qin Jiagui had become so thin that he almost seemed like a different person. At this moment, upon seeing Su Yu, he forced out in a hoarse voice, "I heard that there is going to be a group operation. How could it happen without me? I’m fine."

Su Yu patted his shoulder, nodded slightly, and refrained from saying anything else. Indeed, remaining in "Black Iron City" posed possible threats. Since Qin Jiagui was willing to join, Su Yu did not reject him.

In just half a day, Su Yu finally finalized the delegate list. The roster included himself, Zhang Zhongmou, Qin Jiagui, Ma Ziye, Zhao Shichang, Su Yun, Li Dong, Lei Rui, Yuan Niping, Gu Lingshuang, Ren Honglin, Zhou Birong, Fang Jiong, Cao Xiaoyu, Liu Zheng, Ruan Minghong, Murong Dingyuan, and three others who had successfully evolved into the sixth-order Black Iron Warrior by drinking the Water of the Netherworld along with one hundred people. Their names were Li Shengli, Zhang Chen, and Li Jingqi. In total, there were twenty people.

Kou Xiaowei was a New Human and could no longer evolve. Taking her would be of no use and would only burdensome, hence she was left out. Doudou, even though she possessed the "Destruction Horn," wasn’t a symbiotic participant and hence couldn’t participate in this trial.

With the twenty individuals gathered, they quickly prepared necessary supplies and food. Su Yu then summoned Jiang Hai and Jin Fuhua, discussing the situation with them. It was unusual for a city to have both Su Yu and Ouyang Nuo chosen simultaneously for the trial. Though Jiang Hai and Jin Fuhua both had category 5 lifeforms, they weren’t selected.

Having previously participated in a trial, Jin Fuhua understood the situation. Looking at both Su Yu and Ouyang Nuo being selected simultaneously, he couldn’t help but chuckle at the coincidence. He reassured them, "Leave it to Jiang Hai and me to guard the ’Black Iron City.’ We’ll take care of everything."

No one could have anticipated the sudden commencement of the trials. Su Yu was left without options. He couldn’t worry about whether the City Lord of the "Sand City" would seek revenge for his son. At present, everything would only fall into place after the trial was over. Once everything was settled, Su Yu and the other nineteen people assembled together. Ada let out a low roar and began to tap into the "Abyssal Pit" power. All of a sudden, a huge circular pit appeared beneath their feet. Soon, the team descended into it, emerging in the "Gold Elemental Space" of the Ten Great Elemental Spaces on the first layer world.

Upon their arrival, they saw the glittering gold ores everywhere, while columns of light occasionally shot up and reached the sky in the distance. Each time a column ascended, a team was teleported to this world.

At this moment, those who were working on tasks, looking for ore, or conducting trials in this "Gold Elemental Space", suddenly found that there were an unusual changes happening today. Columns of light of various types were occasionally rising to the sky. They all felt a sense of incredulity, guessing that something was happening, and their mood was the same as that of Su Yu and the others who came before them.

As soon as entering the space, Su Yu immediately whispered, "Ada."

Ada responded with a grunt, vaguely orientating himself, then pointed straightforwardly in one direction, "There, to the nearest entrance to the second layer."

At this time, Su Yu had briefly explained the situation of the trial to everyone. People like Zhang Zhongmou were somewhat excited, but also somewhat nervous. Among the crowd, two were Seventh Stage Experts: Su Yu, who was at the level 7 peak, and Zhang Zhongmou, who had now reached the mid-level of the Seventh Stage.

Those who had reached the Sixth Order Realm were: Ma Ziye, Ruan Minghong, Murong Dingyuan, Li Shengli, Zhang Chen, Li Jingqi, Gu Lingshuang, Ren Honglin - eight in total.

Those who were Level 5 Black Iron Warriors were: Qin Jiagui, Zhao Shichang, Su Yun, Li Dong, Fang Jiong, Cao Xiaoyu, Liu Zheng, Zhou Birong, a total of eight people again. Additionally, Lei Rui and Yuan Niping, both women, were at the Fourth Order.

Su Yu brought Lei Rui and Yuan Niping with him, in the hope that they too could break through in this trial.

During the last trial, the Mag-Eu Stone from Atlantis was incredibly miraculous. Evidently, while the trials were certainly dangerous, they were also a great opportunity.

Because they were constrained to be within this "Gold Elemental Space" in two days’ time, they must enter the Trial Temple on the fourth layer. If they couldn’t make it within the time limit, they would face the result of being wiped out. Ada jumped down, instantly maximising his form to nearly twenty meters long. Su Yu, Zhang Zhongmou, Qin Jiagui, etc. had already jumped up and settled themselves on him one by one. Seeing light columns rising from time to time in this first layer of the space world, everyone vaguely sensed a tense atmosphere. This trial was of great scale, and it involved participants and levels of very high order. After all, the ultimate reward for this round of trial was even the power to cross this world.

Su Yu didn’t think about crossing this world for the time being. After all, this was still too far away for him. Since this trial was compulsory, there was no other way out, they had to face the difficulties head on.

Everyone released their powerful aura. In this first layer of the "Gold Elemental Space", only a group of fourth-level creatures lurk. They felt the terrifying aura of these groups from afar and hid themselves.

Ada carried everyone, running all the way. Soon, they saw from afar another massive Category 5 creature. It too was carrying about twenty people, rushing toward the common goal.

The Elemental Space of gold attribute was filled with golden land and rocks. Along the way, they saw groups of four or five people looking up towards them, all their faces filled in astonishment. They didn’t know what had happened, and looking at the massive Category 5 creature and sensing the aura of the strong creatures sitting on it, they all changed colour. Soon, many teams who came for other reasons felt something wrong and withdrew from this world.

Su Yu remained silent, his mind was calculating the content of this trial. Was it like last time, where they had to kill all other teams except for their own? If that truly was the case, how would his team and Ouyang Nuo’s team handle it?

Lost in thought, Ada soon brought them racing to the entrance to the second layer of world. With a long howl, Ada carried them directly into the dark vortex. For a moment, total darkness fell upon all of them.

Soon, their vision gradually brightened, and they realised that the scenery around them had changed. Ada had brought them to the second-layer world of the Gold Elemental Space.

In this second world, all the creatures prowling were at the fifth level, which still posed zero threat to them now.

Ada carried everyone and ran towards the entrance to the third layer world without needing Su Yu to remind him.

Su Yu found that not far from them, another massive Category 5 creature was also carrying a group of people and chasing them. Clearly, they were also part of this trial team.
