Chapter 553: Chapter 427 Collective Annihilation (2nd Update)

Both sides have clashed forcefully, as the Golden Giant Ape Beast slammed into the Black Scaled Lizard. Su Yu stretched out his right hand and grabbed the Golden Giant Ape Beast’s arm. As they engaged in close-combat, the ground shook. The Golden Giant Ape Beast, possessing great strength, lifted Su Yu’s morphed Black Scaled Lizard Beast off the ground with a grip and throw, then slammed it down hard.

With a loud "boom", Su Yu’s morphed Black Scaled Lizard was slammed heavily onto the ground and its black scales shattered. Meanwhile, Su Yu entwined his arms around the Golden Giant Ape Beast at the same moment, throwing it far from him similarly.

With a "thud", the Golden Giant Ape Beast was launched against a cliffside, while Su Yu twisted his body and stepped forward quickly, his right hand transformed from the Black Scaled hand into a Golden Claw.

With a "thump", the Golden Claw was virtually invincible. The Golden Giant Ape Beast tried to block with its crossed arms but the Golden Claw broke through its defenses and struck directly against its face.

A large amount of blood splashed out, Su Yu stood up with the Golden Claw and swiftly brought it down in one motion. With a "screeching" sound, he immediately cut open the Seventh Level Golden Beast. The Golden Claw retracted and in his hand, he was holding a Treasure Light Sphere.

As for the Golden Giant Ape Beast on the ground, it had already fallen and lost its life.

A Golden Beast would not be much weaker than those at the peak of the Seventh Order, but in front of Su Yu it was so easily defeated. Those who watched felt a shock in their hearts.

After crushing the Treasure Light Sphere in his hand, Su Yu was slightly surprised to find a Treasure Necklace inside.

Every necklace could summon a Primordial Beast, making it a piece of extremely rare treasure. Su Yu recognized the necklace to summon a fire attribute Primordial Beast, thought for a moment, and handed it to Qin Jiagui saying, "This is a fire attribute Primordial Beast necklace, but it doesn’t exactly suit your attribute."

He knew that Qin Jiagui’s ability was metal skin, which seemed more suited for a gold attribute Primordial Beast. But the Primordial Beast necklaces are extremely rare, only Su Yu, Zhang Zhongmou, Ma Ziye, and Su Yun owned one among these twenty individuals. This newly acquired fire-attribute necklace was given to Qin Jiagui, not entirely because of their close friendship but also due to the incident between Qin Jiagui and Yuan Niping.

In this matter, Su Yu felt a great regret. However, what happened had already happened, and time could not be turned back. No one could change it.

Looking at the Treasure Necklace that Su Yu handed to him, Qin Jiagui silently accepted it with a bitter smile. He understood his feelings during the past few days in a way no one else could. He knew he could not blame Yuan Niping for this matter, yet... he couldn’t convince himself to face Yuan Niping calmly, and pretend like nothing had happened.

Seeing Qin Jiagui’s expression, Su Yu sighed silently, knowing that only time could gradually dilute the pain of this situation. After being silent for a while, he spoke, "Let’s go. I think we’re nearing the two-day deadline."

In the Golden Elemental Space, there was no distinction between day and night. Although they were unsure of the time, they were certain they had reached the Trial Temple before the deadline.

When Su Yu, with Ada and the other nineteen people, walked out along the long corridor, they were met by a remarkably gigantic open space.

The temple’s interior was many times larger compared to the Fire Elemental World’s second layer temple that they visited last time.

At this moment, countless light screens divided the temple into separate sections where groups of people were either standing or sitting.

Soon after Su Yu’s team of twenty emerged, they were quickly separated by the screens. Although they could see numerous teams in all directions, they couldn’t move freely.

The number of teams participating this time was surprisingly many: there were twenty-member teams like theirs, ten-member teams, two-member teams, and even one-member teams.

At this time, the grand temple was still admitting members of new teams, who were then separated by the light screens. As the number of teams increased and the stipulated deadline approached, teams en route were still fighting each other everywhere, rushing towards the temple.

Finally, a towering light column sprang up from the center of the grand temple. Following that, a grand and emotionless female voice resounded.

"Time is up! All the teams that have failed to enter the temple will be eliminated—"

Alongside this grand voice, a squad of about ten people had just arrived around the temple. However, they weren’t able to make it through the entrance before a beam of light descended from the sky, completely enveloping them. The Category 5 Lifeform on the leading man’s shoulder screeched, and then a flame ignited within it. Almost simultaneously, terrifying flames burst from the bodies of the others. Dreadful screams ensued, as each member was transformed into a blaze of human-shaped fire, rolling and squirming on the ground.

Before long, everything was reduced to ashes, including the Category 5 Lifeform. Everyone who had formed a Symbiotic Contract with it was burned to crisps. In an instance, there were at least ten thousand deaths in the "Black Iron World."

The trials in the "Black Iron World," which happen once a month, brought both great opportunities and catastrophic disasters for the selected.

All the selected teams that had failed to enter the Trial Temple within the deadline faced destruction. At the exact moment, at the heart of the Trial Temple in the fourth layer world of the "Gold Elemental Space," a beam of light that shot into the sky appeared. Inside the beam, a dignified and majestic woman, about seven or eight meters tall, wearing a white robe appeared.

The "Black Iron Guardian" Beth Finley, had finally graced them once again.

The temple fell silent. Su Yu, gazing upon the goddess-like figure, thought about the time he had mistaken Leileian for having a relationship with her and tried to contact her via Leileian. The whole idea now seemed incredibly naive and amusing. Seeing the Black Iron Guardian now, he was quite sure she had long lost human emotions, if she ever had them.

In the temple, there were many squads. Su Yu and his teammates tried to find Ouyang Nuo but were unsuccessful due to the vast crowd.

As the "Black Iron Guardian" made her presence known, everyone fell silent. The members of the team behind Su Yu shared a look of astonishment. They were amazed and curious because the radiant woman before them looked just like Leileian – the resemblance was uncanny.

"Within the designated time limit, ninety-seven teams, totaling to one thousand three hundred and twenty-two people, have entered the ’Trial Temple.’ Each of you is a qualified candidate for this trial. The details of the trial will be directed to the Category 5 Lifeform of each team. The trial period is seven days. After seven days, all survivors will be rewarded according to their performance. Among them, one person...will be given the ability to leave this world!"

The last sentence stirred up all those who were desperate to leave this world.

"Now let’s start the teleportation to the Trial Grounds. Warriors, strive to survive these seven days—"Beth Finley’s voice suddenly increased. Beams of light sprouted one after another, enveloping each team. Then, groups of people vanished from the temple.

Su Yu and the others were blinded by the intense white light. They realized that the Black Iron Guardian was using her power to teleport them to the Trial Grounds.

Once their vision was restored, they found themselves on top of a skyscraper in a sprawling, modern city. For a moment, they thought they had returned to their original world and were now standing in a highly developed city.

After a while, Su Yu checked his wrist and indeed, there was a device that resembled a watch. However, it did not display the locations of other teams like it did last time, rather it showed the remaining time of the trial. Additionally, there was a detailed list that was divided into many columns, but all of them were empty without any hint of their purpose.

Not just him, all team members had a similar device on their wrists.

"What is this thing?" Zhang Zhongmou played with it curiously. Ma Ziye turned to Ada and asked, "Ada, what is the content of this trial? The woman in the temple mentioned that you would know, right?"

Ada looked serious as it observed the surroundings. Li Dong muttered, "This place... looks so much like the city we used to live in... Are we back?"

Zhao Shichang seemed excited, "I wonder where the other teams are. The winner of this trial will acquire the ability to leave this world. Does that mean one can return to the original world after leaving this one?"

Ada slowly said, "The content of this trial is simple. Survive in this world for seven days. Then, you can get the reward. Additionally, there are various random rewards, among which one will have the ability to leave this world. Anyway, the rewards this time will be extremely generous." (To be continued.
