Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Jun Wuxie arrived before the bronze door in Despair Mode.

He wondered what difficulty mode the others had chosen.

There was no doubt that before him and Mu Ciyin, many people had entered these bronze doors.

"When will we go in?"

Mu Ciyin stood shoulder to shoulder with him before the bronze door, seeing him silent and unmoving for a long time.

"Not yet. The situation inside is unclear. I don't know if there's a safe zone. Entering like this might be dangerous. Before that, I must raise my realm."

Jun Wuxie retreated a little, away from the bronze door in Despair Mode, back to a distance.

"The tomb owner set up this trial path to leave behind 'opportunities' for outstanding talents of later generations. Presumably, no matter what difficulty is chosen, the nine trials behind the bronze doors should correspond to the realm of the entrant. If you raise your realm before entering, the trials inside will adjust accordingly…"

Mu Ciyin stopped abruptly, ceasing to speak.

"Perhaps, but regardless, the realm must be raised anyway. I happen to have a lot of resources. Cultivating with the crystal cores of those primordial creatures won't take too long."

Jun Wuxie sat down cross-legged, taking out all the crystal cores: twenty-odd crystal cores of Supreme Saint Realm primordial creatures, and four crystal cores of primordial creatures that had just entered the Primordial Saint Realm.

Although after breaking through to the Supreme Saint Realm, his demand for cultivation resources had become even more outrageous, with the quality of resources needed greatly increased, these crystal cores were still enough for him to raise his realm considerably.

After all, there were four Primordial-level crystal cores, whose effects would certainly be excellent.

"Wuxie, I'm sorry, I'm holding you back…"

Mu Ciyin's voice was full of apology. She was feeling some self-blame, "How about we go out first, and you let me enter the Eight-Nine Mysterious Palace, okay?"

"Back in the Lower Realm, in the Golden Scale Secret Realm, I braved the trials alongside Chen Yu, also in Despair Mode, and passed forty-nine levels. Now, I'm braving the trials alongside you, Ciyin Shizun. Even if there are difficulties, I still have the confidence to pass."

"So, Ciyin Shizun, don't feel like you're holding me back. I don't like you belittling yourself like this, and I don't want to hear you say sorry."

"But…" Jun Wuxie's words warmed Mu Ciyin's heart, but she was still hesitant, saying: "Given the rules inside, my realm might bring us huge disadvantages. If that leads to us being unable to pass the trials, what should we do…"

She thought of her realm, which, even though it was severely suppressed here, was still at the Supreme Saint Realm Completion stage.

Wuxie's realm was only at the early stage of the Supreme Saint Realm.

If they embarked on the trial path together, the trials they faced would most likely be based on the highest realm between the two of them, which was the Supreme Saint Realm Completion stage.

That would be too disadvantageous!

Her physical body was not strong enough. Facing trials of the same realm in Despair Mode would be difficult to handle.

Wuxie was a body cultivator with a strong physical body, but the difference in realm was too great. Even if they could pass the first one or two levels, what about the rest?

The nine levels in Despair Mode would inevitably become increasingly difficult.

"Ciyin Shizun is worrying too much. Don't think about things that may or may not happen. Just wait quietly. My choosing to raise my realm before entering is to solve this problem."

After Jun Wuxie spoke, he closed his eyes, bringing all the crystal cores of the primordial creatures above the Supreme Saint Realm into his Inner World, and quickly entered a state of cultivation.

Mu Ciyin looked at him, wanting to say something, but in the end, she fell silent.

She didn't want to disturb his cultivation, even though she was still worried in her heart.

Although Wuxie said that raising his realm could solve the problem, could it really completely eliminate the drawbacks?

Even with so many crystal cores of primordial creatures above the Supreme Saint Realm, it was impossible to cultivate his realm to the Supreme Saint Realm Completion stage with these crystal cores.

Even if he raised his realm here, there would still be a big gap after entering.

Mu Ciyin was somewhat annoyed. If it weren't for the law suppression, she could have used secret techniques to seal her own realm to the early stage of the Supreme Saint Realm Lesser Heaven.

That way, they wouldn't be at a disadvantage. But under the law suppression, she was powerless and couldn't seal her realm.

Mu Ciyin struggled in her heart for a long time. Looking at Jun Wuxie in cultivation, she even had the thought of leaving at this moment several times.

If she left and let him face the trials in Despair Mode alone, it should be easier.

But she could never bring herself to leave.

She knew very well that this island was dangerous. Even if she could exert the physical power of the Supreme Saint Realm Completion stage, she wouldn't be able to cope with the primordial creatures of the Supreme Saint Realm once she encountered them.

In this environment, if she quietly left, Wuxie would definitely worry after knowing, and he might not enter the trial path, but leave this Yang Tomb to find her.

He would definitely be angry, and she couldn't even imagine how angry he would be if she really did that.

"Alas…"

Mu Ciyin sighed silently in her heart.

She realized that besides waiting as he said, she seemed to have no other choice, and could only slowly adjust her mentality, quietly guarding him nearby, protecting him.

At this moment, Jun Wuxie, who was cultivating, naturally didn't know that Mu Ciyin's heart had gone through such a complex and tangled process.

After bringing the crystal cores of the primordial creatures into his Inner World, he used the power of his Natal Star to devour them with all his might, grinding and purifying them with the Doomsday Wheel, and converting them into life essence through the Primordial Golden Body Art, flowing through the meridians to every part of his body, nourishing every inch of flesh, and finally gathering in the Inner World, condensing into stars in the sea of stars.

At the same time, he was also refining dark energy, always maintaining the balance of the two seas of stars.

At first, he consumed the crystal cores of the Supreme Saint Realm.

The crystal cores of the primordial creatures on this island were very special, absorbing and converting them very quickly, but the realm improvement brought to him by completely refining and absorbing a crystal core of a Supreme Saint Realm primordial creature was very limited.

Although the lowest realm of these primordial creatures was the peak of the Supreme Saint Realm Middle Heaven, which was much higher than his current realm, the energy provided by the crystal core was indeed very little to Jun Wuxie.

His current demand was too terrifying. Upon reaching the Supreme Saint Realm, the demand for resources in this realm was far more terrifying than the demand after breaking through to a major realm before.

Day after day.

Jun Wuxie's realm was improving every day.

His realm had already improved, breaking through to the late stage of the Supreme Saint Realm Lesser Heaven.

From the early stage to the late stage, he had raised two realms, and had consumed more than a dozen crystal cores of Supreme Saint Realm primordial creatures.

He continued to refine the remaining ten Supreme-quality crystal cores. According to the needs of breaking through, he could only raise one more small realm.

This meant that the crystal cores of twenty-odd Supreme Saint Realm Middle Heaven peak and Greater Heaven Completion primordial creatures could only allow him to raise three small realms in the Supreme Saint Realm Lesser Heaven.

Such a terrifying consumption made him feel very speechless. After all, it was the lifelong essence crystallization of dozens of Supreme Saint Realm primordial creatures, but it could only allow him to raise his realm by so little.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.

Until now, Jun Wuxie had refined all twenty-odd crystal cores of the Supreme Saint Realm, and his realm had also entered the peak of the Supreme Saint Realm Lesser Heaven.

In this month, no one else had come here.

Mu Ciyin was initially surprised. Even if the cultivators from the outside world had already entered this Yang Tomb, what about the primordial creatures?

The number of primordial creatures on this island was astonishing, but for such a long time, not a single primordial creature had been seen coming here.

Now that she thought about it, this Yang Tomb had never been approached by primordial creatures since its appearance, which showed that the primordial creatures feared this place.

It seemed that the order rules left by the owner of the Yang Tomb did not allow the primordial creatures on the island to come here.

This Yang Tomb had appeared in an era long ago, meaning that the ancestors of the primordial creatures on this island must have come here in the past and suffered great losses, leaving a lesson for future generations.

Time continued to pass in Jun Wuxie's cultivation and Mu Ciyin's waiting.

Some days had passed since Jun Wuxie broke through to the peak of the Supreme Saint Realm Lesser Heaven.

During this time, he continued to devour and refine the crystal cores of the Primordial Saint Realm level.

The energy of this quality of crystal core was more pure and majestic than the crystal cores of the Supreme Saint Realm!

With the crystal cores of the Primordial Saint Realm as cultivation resources, Jun Wuxie's realm continued to improve steadily and rapidly during this time.

He had now entered the Supreme Saint Realm Middle Heaven, and had reached the late stage of the Middle Heaven.

Two of the four crystal cores of the Primordial Saint Realm primordial creatures had been refined by him, and now there were two left.

Although this level of crystal core contained majestic and pure energy, one Primordial crystal core could only allow him to break through two small realms.

It could be seen how huge and amazing his demand and consumption of resources was!

This kind of consumption was unimaginable for other cultivators.

Only someone like him had the means to obtain this kind of resource. So many resources, if it were anyone else, would be impossible to obtain, and it would be very difficult to improve their realm.

Mu Ciyin had been quietly waiting beside him. For these two months, as long as she was awake, her attention and her gaze had hardly left him.

This hall had not been peaceful for these months. There were constant rumbling sounds, continuously, day and night.

These sounds came from Jun Wuxie's body, as if countless rivers were rushing, it was the sound of a great river surging, with great momentum.

This was the sound of the blood rushing in his body during cultivation, and the sound of the new flesh and blood qi flowing in his body after its generation.

The crystal core energy of the Primordial creatures in the Mixed Origin Sacred Realm constantly nourished and tempered his bones, internal organs, meridians, flesh, making his physical body stronger every minute and every second!

Time quickly passed another month.

Finally, the last two crystal cores of the Mixed Origin Sacred Realm level were also completely consumed.

At this point, all the crystal cores above the Supreme Sacred Realm on Jun Wu Xie's body had been devoured by him.

The vast momentum emanating from his body gradually subsided.

He sat there quietly, with his eyes closed, his aura restrained and steady.

If one didn't know he was a cultivator, they would probably mistake him for an ordinary person, because they couldn't feel any cultivator's aura on him.

After spending two days consolidating his realm and carefully feeling and familiarizing himself with the power gained after the realm breakthrough, Jun Wu Xie withdrew from his cultivation state.

The moment he opened his eyes, his restraint and steadiness instantly transformed into an astonishing sharpness.

The chaotic golden light in his eyes was dazzling, like two chaotic golden lamps, which was very intimidating.

At this moment, a powerful aura emanated, causing Mu Ci Yin to feel suffocated!

Here, suppressed to the Great Perfection of the Supreme Sacred Realm, only able to use the power of her physical body, she, facing Jun Wu Xie, who had now cultivated to the early stage of the Great Heavenly position of the Supreme Sacred Realm, truly had a feeling of facing a high mountain, facing the sea, facing an abyss!

Compared to the physical body, in the Supreme Sacred Realm, even if she was in the Great Perfection Realm, leading by many small realms, the gap between her and him was huge!

"Wu Xie, in this realm, you are really so powerful..."

Mu Ci Yin stared at him, and subconsciously, she uttered a self-muttering sound.

This feeling shocked her!

Whether in this life or the previous life, she had never felt such a strong aura on any cultivator in the Supreme Sacred Realm!

"Only by being strong can I protect my Ci Yin Shifu—let's go."

Jun Wu Xie took Mu Ci Yin's hand and walked towards the bronze gate in Despair Mode.

After cultivating for several months, his realm had greatly improved, and it was time to embark on the path of exploration.

He was extremely expectant in his heart of what kind of harvest he would get by passing the test in Despair Mode.

Jun Wu Xie pushed open the bronze gate in front of him with anticipation.

The sealed gate opened amidst a rumbling sound, and a strong aura of time rushed towards him, carrying the weight of the years, as well as the long history and desolation of time.

It was as if he had opened a path through time and space leading to the past.

Jun Wu Xie and Mu Ci Yin stepped into the bronze gate side by side, and the gate behind them slowly closed.

Here was still a wide corridor, with ever-bright lamps lit on the walls on both sides, making the corridor very bright.

Unlike the previous corridors, the walls here did not release any energy.

There was brighter light at the end of the corridor. Jun Wu Xie and Mu Ci Yin walked towards the end of the corridor, facing the light, and came to an ancient hall.

The space inside the hall was very vast, with a huge abyss in the middle. In the center of the abyss was a large round platform, which was several thousand meters in size.

A stone bridge crossed the abyss from the land inside the hall and landed on the central round platform, connecting the two.

After Jun Wu Xie and Mu Ci Yin entered the hall, the hall door closed. They saw several broken corpses and a large number of white bones.

"Unexpectedly, many people chose Despair Mode, and even this time someone chose Despair Mode."

Jun Wu Xie and Mu Ci Yin came to the front of several broken corpses.

These corpses had not rotted, and the time of death was not too long. Judging from the clothes and the remaining aura, most of them were Soul Hunting Envoys from the Soul Hunting Sacred Palace, and besides that, there were also people from the Azure Wood Ancient Aristocratic Family.

The wounds on their bodies were terrible, their physical bodies were almost shattered, and their heads were covered with cracks. Obviously, their souls had also suffered heavy damage before they died.

Jun Wu Xie looked around, and there was no dangerous aura, so these people should have ended up like this because they failed the test.

In the end, he fixed his gaze on the large round platform in the center of the abyss.

The round platform was engraved with runes, not rune arrays, but a kind of Dao pattern, forming a magic array diagram.

That array diagram looked very simple, just a simple circle. The Dao patterns inside the circle were intertwined, evolving very hazily, like a piece of chaos.

In the very center of the array diagram, there was a small chaotic-colored circle, inside which sat a humanoid statue, and next to the statue was a metal box.

"Is that the test we are going to accept?"

Mu Ci Yin looked at the hazy shadow sitting in the circle on the abyss platform.

"That's right, the retreat has been closed. We can only leave alive by passing the test. The surroundings of the abyss are buffer zones, and the large platform in the abyss is the combat zone for the assessment."

Jun Wu Xie had already seen that the array diagram was a One-Yuan Array. One-Yuan represented the beginning and the origin, representing chaos.

Although there seemed to be only one statue in such a magic array, it was definitely not so easy to deal with, otherwise so many white bones and corpses would not have been left behind.

At least, it was incomparably difficult and hopeless for other people who came here.
