Chapter 826: Chapter 820: I’m Here (3 more)

Up until now, nobody knew exactly what the woman inside the palanquin looked like. What was her strength? How old was she? And so on...

But one thing was certain: this woman was supremely powerful!

Therefore, she naturally deserved to be addressed as ’senior’ by Liu Erfu.

As Liu Erfu spoke, the fifteen super geniuses from the Four Great Ancient Nations who had already passed the first test all turned their gaze toward the luxurious palanquin.

"Who will come first?" the woman inside asked. Her voice, though not loud, resonated from deep within the soul, reaching everyone.

"Me!" Instantly, a Ninth Layer of Qiongji Realm Martial Cultivator from East Crane Ancient Kingdom stepped forward, heading toward the Martial Battle Platform. He was volunteering to take the lead and scout the way for Shentu Ni.

"Sit cross-legged in the center of the Martial Battle Platform and close your eyes," the woman ordered indifferently.

The Ninth Layer of Qiongji Realm Martial Cultivator from East River Ancient Kingdom walked step by step toward the Martial Battle Platform. Under everyone’s gaze, he sat down in the center.

He closed his eyes.

The next moment.

Suddenly.

Under the gaze of the crowd, the young Ninth Layer of Qiongji Realm Martial Cultivator’s face visibly twitched.

Then, his complexion began to change wildly.

From pale, to dark purple, to ashen, to flushed red, and back to pale again - his face changed colors too quickly.

Moreover.

Accompanying this were the sounds of him screaming and yelling out "No!", "Aaah!", "Go away!", "Please!", among others.

Even more terrifying was that many could clearly sense the sound of his heart beating wildly and quaking.

Additionally, beads of sweat formed on his forehead, quickly dripping down. Before long, it looked as though he had been drenched in a downpour.

Thirty breaths later.

The young Ninth Layer of Qiongji Realm Martial Cultivator suddenly opened his eyes.

As he opened them, it was clear to see the ultimate terror in his eyes, filled with blood.

"Not bad," came the faint voice from within the palanquin.

Trembling, the young Ninth Layer of Qiongji Realm Martial Cultivator made his way down from the Martial Battle Platform. He walked over to the eastern side, next to Shentu Ni. The other Martial Cultivators around Shentu Ni urgently asked, "What exactly happened?"

"I... it felt like I suddenly fell into another world. A world that was too terrifying. There were giant beasts chasing me, consuming people right in front of me, chewing... It was too horrific, too cruel. Also, there were countless terrifying scenes, all incredibly real. I was constantly on the brink of life and death, to the point where I felt every single bone in my body being torn out. The pain was all so real," the young Ninth Layer of Qiongji Realm Martial Cultivator exclaimed shakily.

Meanwhile, many Martial Cultivators in the hall understood.

Illusion Realm.

The mysterious woman’s method of testing was an Illusion Realm - a profoundly realistic one.

"Illusions can indeed test one’s State of Mind, but..." Su Chen touched his nose, a wry smile forming within: "Jiuyou, did I win again?"

"Yep, definitely won again, and it was a crushing victory," Jiuyou said playfully. "After all, illusions are just that - illusions, whose essence is constructed by the Divine Soul. Like the Martial Cultivator from just now - his Divine Soul is far from as strong as the mysterious woman’s inside the palanquin. That’s why he was immersed in the illusion, experiencing terror, fear, and a taste of life and death. In the end, he collapsed, lasting only about thirty breaths. But if it were you, what if your Divine Soul is stronger than that of the mysterious woman inside?"

"Then, I could break free from her illusion instantly, right?" Su Chen took over the conversation.

"No, you underestimate yourself. You wouldn’t just break free; you would directly shatter her illusion. Her Divine Soul may not be as powerful as yours," Jiuyou hummed, somewhat proud. "The mysterious woman inside the palanquin, although supremely powerful!!! However, her strength lies in the realm of Qi Cultivation! If we talk solely about Divine Soul, with the current strength of your Divine Soul, plus the power of Three Forces Transformation, your Divine Soul might actually be stronger than hers!"

"Alright then," Su Chen was somewhat speechless.

Just then,

the woman inside the palanquin spoke again: "Continue."

"I will go!" A young Martial Cultivator from Xi Yin Ancient Kingdom bravely stepped forward toward the Martial Battle Platform. He walked to the center, sat down cross-legged, and then, he fell into the Illusion Realm.

However, he only lasted about ten breaths.

Just ten breaths, and he seemed to have suffocated, his face terribly pale without a trace of blood, his whole body convulsing and spasming.

After ten breaths, the young man opened his eyes and then passed out.

It was too terrifying!

Such a scene, witnessed by everyone present, made their scalps tingle in fright.

What kind of Illusion Realm had that mysterious woman in the palanquin constructed? To scare a super genius, one in a billion, like that in just ten breaths was beyond imagination!

The test continued.

Very soon.

East Crane Ancient Kingdom, Xi Yin Ancient Kingdom, Northern Sacred Ancient Kingdom combined, seven or eight participants had been tested.

Among them, the best performer lasted forty breaths, and the worst only five breaths.

"I’ll go!" Finally, it was Shao Jian’s turn. Shao Jian’s face was expressionless, showing neither worry nor confidence; his pace steady as he walked towards the Martial Battle Platform. At that moment in the Martial Battle Hall, many people became interested, their eyes lighting up.

Shao Jian, having performed quite well in the first item of the trial, naturally attracted attention.

Very soon.

Shao Jian sat down cross-legged and also closed his eyes.

Then!!!

The Illusion Realm arrived.

Shao Jian entered into the Illusion Realm.

His expression began to change, but not by much.

Time ticked by, second by second.

Soon, sixty breaths had passed.

Shao Jian was indeed impressive, very excellent, his State of Mind very stable.

However, after sixty breaths, his breathing clearly became disordered, his complexion gradually turning pale, and observant people noticed that his hands were clenched tightly, the bones in his hands making a creaking noise, even his fingernails seemed to have dug into his palms with blood flowing through the crevices of his fists.

The entire hall fell into dead silence.

Many were extremely anxious, as if they themselves had been plunged into the Illusion Realm.

Another dozen or so breaths passed.

Suddenly.

"Ah..." Shao Jian let out a hoarse scream, his eyes suddenly opening, the bloodshot whites shining with the glint of a Sword, flickering with killing intent, making it hard for one to look directly, as his aura soared to the sky, saturated with the scent of blood.

It took Shao Jian quite a while to barely stabilize.

His result was seventy breaths.

A very good result indeed.

Next, a few more Martial Cultivators took to the stage to test.

With many looking forward to it, soon it was Lu Ye’s turn.

The watching Martial Cultivators were even more expectant.

In the first item, if not for the presence of Shentu Ni and Su Chen, Lu Ye would have been first!!!

Lu Ye’s result from the first item was even better than Shao Jian’s.

Certainly worth the anticipation.
