Chapter 31: The Li Dynasty (7)
The Hundred Kingdoms Trial officially began.
In the very center of Mysterious Spirit City stood a vast, majestic plaza paved entirely from white jade. Thousands of young men and women filled the square, yet not a single sound escaped them. They gazed forward in silent awe and anticipation.
The trial took place inside a secret realm. Within that realm lay both opportunities and dangers—demonic beasts and spirit beasts alike. Claiming opportunities earned points. Slaying demonic or spirit beasts earned points. Those with the highest scores would earn entry into the Profound Origin Sacred Land. Simple and brutally direct.
A brilliant pillar of light erupted from the white jade plaza, piercing straight through the heavens. When the light finally faded, every participant had vanished.
…
Su Chen opened his eyes to an unfamiliar landscape. He stood atop a towering black mountain, gazing into the distance.
The secret realm was enormous. It felt like an entire small world unto itself.
Su Chen murmured softly, "So this is the power of those above the Profound Connection Realm?"
Truly terrifying. Utterly inhuman.
