Chapter 513: Chapter 507: Overwhelming 12

"Where is the Trial Point? And the teleportation point?"

After admiring the night view of the countless lights below the city walls for a while, Lin Xin finally asked the leading commander and the Second Manager among others.

It was evident that these people were not very familiar with his identity as the Crown Prince. Upon hearing his title, they simply became a bit more respectful without showing any other emotions. They seemed not to fear his notorious reputation.

"Trial?" The leading commander and the others looked at each other in bewilderment.

"The Crown Prince wishes to initiate the Sect Master’s trial, go prepare the initiation ceremony,"

the Second Manager said indifferently.

Upon hearing this, everyone shuddered all at once.

It had been many years, many generations had not heard the term. Since they had taken over this secret from their forebears, many years had passed. They had thought it was merely a tale of past events, yet now they were about to witness a true Sect Master challenge trial with their own eyes.

"The... Sect Master’s trial?" The group seemed somewhat incredulous. The Yuan Dou Demon Sect, being a grand sect with an ancient heritage, was no ordinary sect, and naturally, the conditions required for the Sect Master’s trial were extremely stringent.

One of the trials was placed right here in Rotating Wheel City.

"Could it be... could it be the legendary Trial of the Three Ancestors Quantifying Divine Power?" The leading commander was one of the Deputy City Lords in charge of all the matters here. At this moment, he thought he had misheard and repeated it to confirm again.

"Correct, proceed,"

the Second Manager nodded.

"The Trial of the Three Ancestors Quantifying Divine Power?" Lin Xin was intrigued, knowing this spell method.

A legendary secret technique capable of summoning a division of a top Divine Honor known for divine power.

He had only seen a bit of content in the records of the Sword Sect, and didn’t expect to actually encounter it in substance here.

He couldn’t help but feel a flicker of interest.

"Lead the way."

"Yes... Yes!!"

The Deputy City Lord replied loudly with earnest fear.

*******************

In the vast, dark, eerie grand hall.

Lin Xin and his group suddenly appeared at the edge of the grand hall.

"Is this the Trial Ground?"

As soon as Lin Xin teleported in, he felt a tremendously vast and ferocious power twisting as if trying to break free of some restraint.

His gaze shot straight to the darkness at the far end of the grand hall in front of him.

There, a rolling black fog obscured everything, but he could feel that the fluctuation of power was emanating from there.

"Junior brother, we’ve been waiting for you."

Suddenly, a cool voice came from the darkness on the right.

"Is that Senior Sister Duan Chizi?"

Lin Xin’s gaze shifted slightly, looking to the side.

There, a vague figure slowly emerged, clad in a white dress, her face beautiful but cold, holding a Recording Stone, her expression indifferent.

"You wish to initiate the Sect Master’s trial?" Duan Chizi stared coldly at Lin Xin. "Do you know the consequences of failure?"

"It’s to retreat to Wudingshan for two thousand years of secluded cultivation, right?" Lin Xin had already learned the rules from the Second Manager.

"Should you be careless, you might die," Duan Chizi said, her tone unvarying.

Lin Xin heard this and merely smiled.

"I will not die."

Duan Chizi’s eyes hardened, and she said no more.

"I am here to witness and record the trial. You may begin now."

Lin Xin nodded, entrusting Nan Shunqing behind him to the Second Manager and others.

"Take good care of him."

After speaking, he walked alone towards the direction where the power fluctuations were most intense.

As he advanced, the black fog inside the grand hall automatically and slowly dispersed, revealing the scene at its far end.

In the middle of the great dark bronze hall, there was a giant tentacle that resembled a statue.

The tentacle was over ten meters thick and even taller, solitary yet shaking unsteadily as it swung and thrashed about.

This tentacle was unlike ordinary tentacles; it was uniformly wide from top to bottom, resembling a black long rope, similar to some kind of snake species.

If it weren’t for Lin Xin not seeing any eyes or nostrils, he might have assumed this was a kind of snake species left from ancient times or from the Outer Regions.

"This is the Three Ancestors Quantifying Divine Power?" a voice came from Duan Chizi’s direction, but it too was over a hundred meters away.

Apart from him, no one else dared to come close.

"This is the Divine Power Champion?" Lin Xin was somewhat astonished, as from no angle could he see how this entity was supposed to be the so-called Divine Power Champion.

However, Duan Chizi’s expression remained calm.

"Bai Suozi also had doubts long ago, and after taking charge of Rotating Wheel City, he gathered data and eventually confirmed that this indeed was the Three Ancestors Quantifying Divine Power... but this is just one of his hairs."

"One of his hairs???"

Lin Xin was momentarily stunned.

Turning to look at the giant tentacle again, not to mention its swaying force, even the faint black mist emanating from its body contained a breath that lower levels below Yuan Jing could not touch.

The insides contained very deep and peculiar Soul Domain rules, all relating to power amplification.

"According to the sect records, the Fourth Generation Sect Master Sheying Kong, when he discovered the Three Ancestors Quantifying Divine Power, it was in a small world in the Illusory Sea.

Everything there was transformed from the body of the Divine Power Champion. And its divine body itself had decayed and died unknown years ago, entirely turned to dust.

Only some withered hairs were left behind."

Duan Chizi paused, looking at the huge strand of hair in front of him, feeling deeply moved.

"Within those withered hairs, our ancestral master painstakingly labored to save them, managing to revive only this ordinary short strand after much difficulty. After nurturing it for many years, it was finally used as one of the trials."

"Just a single strand of hair, yet it holds such power...." Lin Xin looked at the huge hair strand and sincerely admired.

"The times of the Primordial Ancient divine beings indeed were an era of tumultuous waves...."

Duan Chizi remained silent, not speaking.

Lin Xin knew she was urging him to begin, and he smiled slightly.

"Such a research material, wouldn’t it be too much of a pity if it were destroyed?"

"It is undying. Up until now, inclusive of my teacher, all cultivators who have attacked it with full force failed to cause even the slightest damage. You can carry out your actions freely," Duan Chizi said indifferently.

"Impressive, impressive!" Lin Xin’s eyes lit up, undying? He himself was already in a sense undying, yet he did not expect to witness another form of undying at such a close range.

This should allow him to get a glimpse of the thread of strength possessed by the Primordial Ancient divine beings.

"How is the trial conducted?"

Duan Chizi glanced at him.

"With strength, overcome it, and you shall pass."

"A trial of strength?"

Lin Xin slowly walked up to the swaying huge hair strand.

Whoosh....!

The hair strand seemed to sense someone approaching and suddenly swept down towards him with a forceful gust.

"Since this trial stakes the position of Sect Master...."

Lin Xin raised his head to meet the giant hair strand rushing down.

"Mother of Yuan Dou, Heart of Myriad Refinements!"

He shouted loudly, and a massive black heart suddenly emerged behind him.

The heart thudded, and behind it emerged three humanoid shadows each standing several tens of meters tall.

Boom!!

The three humanoid shadows stretched out their arms, forcefully catching the divine strength filled hair strand.

As they made contact, not a single sound was emitted. Instead, everyone could feel from the depths of their hearts a massive vibration being constantly bound between the colliding forces.

"Impressive... all the power is concentrated, with not a trace leaking from the center of the clash, so much so that even sound cannot transmit," said the Deputy City Lord, unable to contain the shock in his eyes.

"This is absolute power..." Nan Shunqing whispered, his eyes also revealing a trace of tremor. Even at his strongest, the power of his third hand was unmatched, yet it was likely not up to this level.

His master had hidden deeper than he had imagined.

Duan Chizi watched everything with a calm demeanor, yet her heart was tumultuous.

She had never expected that Lin Xin would actually confront the divine strength hair strand in such a head-on manner of strength.

Just from observing the instant of their collision, it was clear that both sides had nearly rule-level control over their strength.

The transmission of sound vibrations likewise consumes energy, hence both parties had suppressed all the vibrations they generated from the collision, directing all their power towards each other without holding back.

Originally she thought Lin Xin would choose to combine formations to contend with the divine strength hair strand, but now he had merely summoned the Void Shadow of the Mother of Yuan Dou and had withstanded the assault.

At this moment, Lin Xin stood at the center, his body surging with Demonic Qi, and the Void Shadow of the Mother of Yuan Dou behind him became even more solid.

Having harnessed Star Force for over ten years, his efficiency far surpassed other cultivators who practiced the Yuan Dou Demonic Technique. His Star Force had already reached extreme saturation.

Now, his physical constitution, unable to be compared even to a Divine Beast Bloodline great demon like Quan Sheying, not to mention ordinary cultivators.

Even such a formidable constitution, so intensely resistant that it’s indescribable, was completely saturated with Star Force, its density and total volume of Star Force evidently reaching unimaginable levels.

Hence, the Void Shadow of the Mother of Yuan Dou he summoned was much stronger than other cultivators at this stage.

The Mother of Yuan Dou and the divine strength hair strand were locked in a fierce confrontation, their immense power even causing the surrounding space to distort and vibrate.

In the hall, chunks of black stone scattered on the ground slowly floated up.

As if squeezed and suspended by an invisible force.

Puff!

A chunk of stone suddenly shattered.

Duan Chizi’s expression slightly tightened.

Growl!!!

In an instant, the divine strength hair strand burst out with a violent roar. The black mist around it instantly thickened tenfold, almost turning into complete darkness, making it impossible to see anything.

"Not good! The divine strength hair strand has been provoked!!" Duan Chizi’s complexion changed, and she quickly retreated. "Everyone, back off!!"

The Deputy City Lord and others, along with Nan Shunqing, quickly drifted back, swiftly retreating over a hundred meters to directly land at the hall’s bronze wall.

Duan Chizi also appeared next to them, holding a capturing stone with a grave expression.

"No one has ever truly confronted it head-on, it seems its pride as a divine strength warrior was provoked! It’s bad, its power has increased nearly twofold! Deputy City Lord, be prepared to stop the trial at any moment!"

"Yes!" The Deputy City Lord also noticed the danger of the situation.

Growl!!!

The hair strand roared again, a massive black humanoid shadow emerging behind it, completely dark except for its eyes emitting a red glow.

Growl!!!!!

Boom!!

The terrifying power doubled in an instant, overwhelming the Void Shadow of the Mother of Yuan Dou behind Lin Xin. With a booming sound, it shattered the shadow and fiercely fell onto Lin Xin below.

For a moment, the black mist exploded, making it impossible to see anything, only feeling the black energy swirling.
