Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

The Hunting Soul Palace Master's eyes were glacial as he looked at Yue Chenyu's composed demeanor, the anger in his heart surging uncontrollably to his head.

Both the Soul Son and Soul Daughter were personally nurtured by him, and he had given them a great deal of resources.

The Soul Son was a candidate for the next Palace Master, and the Soul Daughter ultimately existed to complete the Soul Son.

They had put in painstaking effort to nurture Yue Chenyu, but she had escaped their control and turned to their opponent's side.

Moreover, before defecting, Yue Chenyu had actually joined forces with that Jun Wuxie to ruthlessly trick them, causing the sect to lose a large number of Half-Saints!

Although they were only some Lesser Celestial Half-Saints, it would not hurt the Hunting Soul Palace's vitality, but this matter was simply a great humiliation for the Hunting Soul Palace.

From ancient times to the present, only their Hunting Soul Palace had hunted others, causing the forces of the world to be terrified, and no one targeted by them could live long in this world.

But in recent years, everything had been subverted. The Soul Son was killed, the Soul Daughter defected, joined forces with their opponents, and tricked and killed their Half-Saints, causing the Hunting Soul Palace's fierce reputation to plummet.

"Yue Chenyu, since ancient times you are the first person to dare to defect from my Hunting Soul Palace. Don't think that now that you have a backer, you can sit back and relax. Those who are on my Hunting Soul Palace's must-kill list will not live!" The Hunting Soul Palace Master narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze becoming sinister: "The day my Hunting Soul Palace judges you is at hand. You are too naive to think you can escape my Hunting Soul Palace's control!"

Just as Yue Chenyu was about to respond, Jun Wuxie pulled her behind him, took a step forward, and stared coldly at the Hunting Soul Palace Master from afar: "Are you threatening my little junior sister? Before saying these words, did you use your simple brain to think about whether you have the qualifications to do so in front of me?"

"Jun Wuxie! You are too arrogant!"

The corners of the Hunting Soul Palace Master's eyes twitched fiercely, being questioned like this in front of the world's forces, causing the anger in his heart to boil.

"You seem very unconvinced. Do you want to fight me one-on-one or in a group battle?"

Jun Wuxie's lips curled into a playful smile, full of provocation, his attitude extremely strong.

This made the people from the Golden Ancient Mine and Dragon Nest, two great life forbidden zones, look at him in unison, with a hint of surprise on their faces.

A Lesser Celestial young supreme being actually dared to challenge the Hunting Soul Palace Master in public. That was an Extreme Celestial powerhouse, and behind him was the entire Supreme Ruler, the most top-level force in the world except for their life forbidden zones.

The facial muscles of the Hunting Soul Palace Master, concealed under his black robe, twitched one after another.

The faces of the people from the various major forces present all revealed strange expressions, and events that occurred during the Zhuxian Dynasty's celebration some time ago involuntarily surfaced in their minds.

One-on-one?

At that time, Jun Wuxie also claimed to be fighting one-on-one with the powerhouses of many Supreme Rulers.

It was just that his so-called one-on-one was fighting people with a terrifying number of Extreme Celestial alien beasts.

Group battle?

It was estimated that he would also be leading a terrifying number of Extreme Celestial beings to fight the opponent in a group battle.

The Hunting Soul Palace Master and the Hunting Soul Palace's powerhouses naturally understood what he meant by one-on-one and group battle. Each of them was so angry that their lips trembled, but they couldn't say a word.

They were not afraid of the Zhuxian Dynasty, but the current situation in the world was very delicate, and they had to ensure that they had enough Extreme Celestial powerhouses. How could they fight to the death with the Zhuxian Dynasty at this time?

"Don't dare?" Jun Wuxie sneered, "If you don't dare, then shut up. Don't be noisy here. Stay here honestly and be respectful! Are you qualified to threaten the people of my Zhuxian Sword Sect, my sect master's junior sister? Try saying another threatening word!"

"Hahaha!" The Hunting Soul Palace Master laughed in extreme anger, staring fixedly at Jun Wuxie, and said: "Good, good, good! This master wants to see how arrogant you can be!"

"Shut up!"

Jun Wuxie shouted violently.

On the Hunting Soul Palace's side, everyone was trembling with anger, their eyes wishing they could immediately tear him apart alive.

But they didn't say anything more, and all of it turned into a cold snort.

"Hahaha, interesting."

Jin Xuan, the young supreme being of the Golden Ancient Mine in the life forbidden zone, smiled faintly.

His gaze towards Jun Wuxie was not as indifferent as before, but instead had a hint of strangeness.

The other forces all watched this scene in silence, including the people from the Tanjing Sect, Ancient Phoenix Clan, and Golden Ancient City, without saying a word.

In this Emperor Beginning Star, they were now truly afraid of that young man.

"Palace Master, calm down. Why bother arguing with him? Look at how arrogant he is now. Once he arrives at the Golden Scale Secret Realm and can't summon those Extreme Celestial alien beasts to support him, we will definitely let him die without a burial place!"

The Hunting Soul Palace's powerhouses secretly communicated with the Hunting Soul Palace Master, their voices carrying a gnashing-of-teeth meaning, obviously also forcibly restraining the anger and killing intent in their hearts.

"This opportunity is rare. You must not fail, otherwise it will not be so easy to kill him after you come out. As time goes by, he will continue to grow, and the difficulty of killing him will be even greater!"

The Hunting Soul Palace Master coldly and gloomily instructed, he hated that young man to the bone.

"Palace Master, rest assured, this time he has no possibility of turning the tables. Even if he has many trump cards, it will be difficult for him to survive! He is not only on our must-kill list, but also the Tanjing Sect, Ancient Phoenix Clan, and Golden Ancient City, who doesn't want to kill him! With so many sealed ones entering, even if he has three heads and six arms, he will only die!"

… …

Here it was very quiet, only some young supreme beings occasionally sized up the young supreme beings of other forces, seemingly assessing the strength of their competitors.

On that mountain peak, the void gate connected by the light bridge gradually stabilized as time passed.

The next morning, the rising sun dispelled the cold of the night, and all things revived.

That void gate no longer changed, and was completely stabilized.

Dong!

An ancient bell rang loudly in the ancient palace, resounding throughout the entire plain, constantly echoing between heaven and earth.

The long and drawn-out bell sound seemed to carry the aura of the years, as if it had passed through the ages of time and deeply impacted people's hearts.

It was as if it had awakened from the years, awakening a long time that had been dormant in the long river of time.

"The years are long, a dream of eternity, and the end of another era is coming… …"

A deep, slightly desolate voice echoed in the palace: "Adding prosperity to the prosperous world and adding hope to the end of the world is my duty. I have fulfilled my duties for several eras, seen the end of prosperity, seen the rise and fall of civilizations, seen the changes of the sea, but I have never seen hope. I only hope that in this life, there can be a different ending… …"

The order manager in the Golden Scale Secret Realm's sighing voice impacted everyone's minds, echoing in their ears and in their hearts, causing people to involuntarily be infected by this desolation and breed a sad mood in their hearts.

From ancient times to the present, the entire ancient history that runs through the long river of time is full of devastation, suffering too many disasters, too much darkness and blood, too much destruction and destruction, and too much sadness and despair.

What will the outcome of this life be?

Will it repeat the same mistakes, as in the past, and millions of years of civilization will wither in prosperity?

Or will there be hope to break the ancient curse, stand firm in the torrent of the end of the world, and preserve the fire of civilization?

"This is the most magnificent prosperous world, and perhaps also the darkest era. The Golden Scale Secret Realm, opened for the last time, I have arranged all the tests and exhausted all the holy source and other resources of the Golden Scale Secret Realm for you to compete for. How much you can gain depends on your respective fortunes. Now, all those who participate in the Golden Scale Secret Realm test, please step onto the light bridge in front of you and pass through the void gate!"

As the voice of the Golden Scale Secret Realm order manager fell, everyone recovered from that sad mood, and immediately stepped onto the light bridge one after another, rushing towards the mountain peak and heading towards the void gate.

Many young supreme beings from the major forces, with faces full of longing and expectation, their eyes fiery, and some people were even so excited that their bodies trembled slightly.

One after another, the young supreme beings of the forces rushed to the mountain peak and disappeared through the void gate.

"Be careful in everything!"

The Great Elder and Ninth Elder stepped forward and patted Jun Wuxie on the shoulder, their expressions solemn, and they exhorted him one after another.

Jun Wuxie nodded, and walked towards the mountain peak side by side with Yue Chenyu, disappearing into the void gate.

After a brief darkness in their vision, they came to a world with a vast sky.

The air here was particularly clear, but there was a kind of ancient aura flowing, as if they were in the time before ancient times.

The sudden change in their own perception of time and space gave them a strange feeling of standing in the long river of time and entering an era before eternity.

This feeling gradually weakened as their bodies adapted.

They began to examine the environment here.

They were located in a mountain range. Looking around, the mountains stretched and undulated, and rivers like jade belts passed through many mountains and vast lands, magnificent and majestic.

The vegetation in the mountains was very dense and lush, full of vitality.

Looking up, the sky was high and blue, and occasionally a few white clouds could be seen floating, and there were also colorful clouds changing in the wind, a magnificent picture of clouds and mist.

"Welcome descendants to the Golden Scale Secret Realm." The order manager's deep and desolate voice resounded throughout the entire world at the peak of the vast sky: "The location you are standing in now is your respective starting point. Next, you will start from the starting point and embark on the road of the Golden Scale Secret Realm's test."

As the voice fell, Jun Wuxie and Yue Chenyu saw long steps appearing in the air in front of them.

Those steps were very wide and sloped slightly upwards, with a small angle.

The steps continued to extend towards the high sky. At a certain height, a huge circular platform appeared, and at the end of the platform, a transparent light curtain appeared. Behind the light curtain, steps continued to appear, sloping slightly upwards and continuing to extend, and then another circular platform, constantly circulating like this.

One section of steps, one platform, connected in this way, extended all the way to the sky, with no end in sight.

Even if Jun Wuxie activated the Primal Chaos True Eyes, he still couldn't see where the end of the steps extended to.

The area of the platforms between these steps also became larger and larger as the height increased.

“Before you lies the path of your trials. Each step and platform is an independent assessment checkpoint. The first two checkpoints test your basic growth strength and mental fortitude, respectively. The trials that follow will test your true strength. Each time you successfully pass a checkpoint, you will receive a Saint Source reward. The difficulty of the checkpoints will gradually increase, and the Saint Source rewards will become more generous. The further you progress, the richer the rewards, and there are even mysterious rewards awaiting you.”

“Everyone can advance step by step through the checkpoints to reach the end. There, you will meet and compete for the ultimate reward of the Golden Scale Secret Realm.”

As the Order Manager finished speaking, both Jun Wuxie and Yue Chenyu felt a mysterious power enveloping them.

Subsequently, they were carried by this mysterious power to the foot of the stairs.

“The checkpoint trials now officially begin! After passing a trial, break through the checkpoint barrier with a single strike to activate the next checkpoint. Strive onward!”

The voice of Order faded into silence.

The world became extremely quiet.

“Let's go!”

Jun Wuxie didn't hesitate and was the first to step onto the stairs.

The moment his foot landed, mysterious runes lit up on the steps.

He felt a force, and his entire body sank slightly.

This was a gravity array pattern.

At the same time, an invisible force rushed towards him like a tide, trying to push him down the stairs.

However, such resistance was too weak for Jun Wuxie, almost negligible.

Yue Chenyu was the same, walking side by side with him, stepping onto the stairs step by step, relaxed and at ease, as if strolling in a garden.

After all, this was just the most basic trial.

In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he and Yue Chenyu reached the first platform.

Here, the gravity and the oncoming impact force suddenly increased several times, but it was still difficult to cause them any trouble.

In the center of the platform, there was a fist-sized ball of liquid energy, suspended in the air, flowing with crystal light, and exuding a faint aura of origin.

“Is that the Saint Source?”

Jun Wuxie carefully examined and sensed the aura of the Saint Source, discovering that the trace of origin contained within the Saint Source was very special, and its energy was extremely pure, even higher quality than he had imagined.

Just by sensing the slight energy overflowing from the Saint Source from a distance, he felt a sense of comfort throughout his body!
