The burly man of the Dragon Clan had his eyes fixed and staring.
The clearance speed was just a matter of seconds; it was too fast!
The big man knew Lu Yu.
It’s not that he had seen Lu Yu before.
But in this trial, each person who received a special invitation had their own record.
These people are very special.
They are either kings of the past or the most powerful figures of this era.
Among them, Lu Yu is the person who needs special attention the most.
Da Han had actually been paying attention to Lu Yu all along. Among the people who could pass this level the fastest, they believed that the quickest time to pass would still be five minutes.
However, just as the big Han finished speaking, someone on this side actually sensed it.
Even if you, Lu Yu, possess formidable strength, how could your spiritual consciousness be this terrifying as well?
A white circular ring shimmered beneath Lu Yu’s feet, quickly forming a protective light shield around him. The shield then condensed into a brilliant ball of white light, rapidly contracting toward a central point before vanishing completely.
Countless people around were stunned, one by one, their eyes wide with shock.
Someone swallowed hard, staring blankly, and said, “I, I haven’t felt anything yet, and Lu Yu has already passed.”
“My eyes couldn’t be failing me, could they?”
“Oh my God, what did I just see? This is way too much like cheating.”
Reaching this speed through testing? That seems too unrealistic.
However they may talk, the result is the result.
At that moment, Shueki was also surrounded by a white light.
The tall man of the dragon clan felt a bit dizzy all of a sudden.
They had considered various scenarios, but never imagined that someone could pass through so quickly, and even less so, two people.
“Young people are always so energetic,” the elderly man from Diwang Star Spirit said with a chuckle, as a halo also appeared beneath his feet.
The big man’s voice trembled slightly as he said, “T-the third one!”
What is wrong with this era? Have all these people lost their minds?
“It seems I’m falling behind,” said the Wan She King in a cold tone.
At this moment, a halo also appeared around him.
The mountain range was on the verge of being shattered by the deafening screams, and the earth itself began to tremble.
Who are all these people?
Many people can’t feel anything anymore, yet four individuals have already passed through.
The giant suddenly seemed to realize something and said, “I forgot, this is a Doomsday Tide. The strongest individuals from countless eras have gathered in this era.”
…
In the pitch-black space, not a single ray of light could be seen.
Here, time seems to have stopped, and everything becomes so lonely. The atmosphere, devoid of light and sound, makes one feel as if they are about to break down.
“Actually, there is a human who passed through in just one second. In this era, there is actually a human whose divine consciousness is so powerful.”
A voice broke through the darkness, calm yet tinged with surprise.
“Lu Yu, who once devoured a Dragon King’s corpse back then, truly has enormous potential.”
“His spiritual awareness is strong enough, so he’s passed one part of the test. I just wonder if he can make it through the following trials.”
“Hehe, someone actually passed through that quickly. Although it was a few seconds slower, it’s still quite unexpected.”
“It’s hard to choose; all of these people have tremendous potential.”
“The only one with unlimited potential is the uncrowned king. If Lu Yu passes the test, I think he’d be quite suitable for you. With his powerful divine consciousness, if connected with yours, it should be able to unleash the strongest combat power.”
A dull voice suddenly spoke up: “What are you talking about, thinking I’m still asleep? Lu Yu’s infinite combat power is equally important to me. Once he passes the test, I won’t let him go easily.”
“Stop arguing. Just wait for the results. There’s no point in doing anything until we pass the test.”
The darkness returned to silence once more.
…
Lu Yu’s figure was carried into a desert by the white light.
Above this desert, there were actually three blazing suns shining together, their light reflecting off the white expanse of heaven and earth. The glare was so intense that his eyes were almost unable to stay open.
Especially the intense sunlight reflecting off the ground, and the countless silver rays bouncing back from the sand were like sharp swords stabbing into his eyes, causing tears to stream down.
Lu Yu raised his head to look at the sky, and instantly his eyes were blinded by the intense light of three blazing suns in the sky, turning his vision completely dark.
“Oh!”
Lu Yu let out a scream, feeling an intense heat that seemed to bore into his skull and sear through his brain.
His eyes were shedding tears.
No, that was liquid still smelling of blood.
These are not tears, but blood.
Lu Yu could feel the granulation tissue in his eyes growing rapidly.
He was overwhelmed with horror.
What kind of energy could instantly burn through his eyes in an instant?
Under the scorching light of the three blazing suns, this desert became exceptionally hot; the air was so dry that inhaling felt like breathing in fire.
Lu Yu dared not look at the sky, so he could only glance around.
Rolling sand dunes stretch endlessly, connecting into a vast expanse.
“What does this mean?” Lu Yu frowned.
Lu Yu flew up and tried to find out whether there was an end or a goal to this desert.
He flew higher and higher. The higher he flew, the hotter his body became, as if it were on fire.
However, this could not cause any harm to Lu Yu.
You should know that he survived by emerging from the heart of the earth in order to forge his body through a hundred refinements, absorbing the essence of hellfire all the while.
The temperature there is not much different from the current temperature.
No matter how high he flew, he could not see the end of the desert.
When he reached an altitude of several thousand meters, his skin actually began to emit a burnt smell!
“What?” Lu Yu raised his arm and watched as the muscles turned into ashes, like charcoal.
The newborn skin and flesh had not yet grown, and the high temperature had already started to roast his bones.
This is truly a body at the Half-Star level, although it still differs somewhat from a Half-Star grade armor.
But how could ordinary temperatures possibly harm him?
The three blazing suns in the sky are no ordinary sight.
Lu Yu began to descend, falling back to the ground.
This space should have been specially created for this trial, resembling the infinite overlapping spaces of the Dragon’s Nest.
He was thousands of meters high in the air, yet he still could not see the end.
There’s no way to avoid a range of at least a million miles.
Or perhaps, there is no intention here to let anyone leave at all.
Lu Yu landed on the ground, his eyebrows furrowed tightly, and his expression turned even more somber.
At this moment, a brilliant white light shone beside Lu Yu, and then a person appeared before him.
“King of Ten Thousand Snakes!”
Lu Yu got a clear look at the other person, and the other person also got a clear look at Lu Yu.
“Lu Yu!” The King of Ten Thousand Snakes thrashed his serpentine hair wildly, yet there was no surprise in his eyes.
Lu Yu was supposed to appear at the next checkpoint first.
The King of Ten Thousand Snakes looked around in all directions with his eyes wide open, surprised, and said, “Huh? Before me, someone else has also passed the test, so why haven’t they appeared here?”
“Could it be—” Lu Yu’s mind raced, his eyes narrowing as he said, “Is this space randomly assigned to those who pass the test?”
The King of Ten Thousand Snakes sneered and said, “It seems the Dragon Clan knows of the feud between us two. They’ve placed us in this secluded desert, undisturbed by others, for a final showdown, haven’t they?”
Lu Yu said coldly, “O King of Ten Thousand Snakes, don’t think I’m afraid of you. But I don’t have time to fight you right now. Use your head and think— the Dragon Clan said this test has nothing to do with strength. The first trial was physical evolution, the second was spiritual consciousness. Then what about this third trial?”
The King of Ten Thousand Snakes had already been furious enough to erupt when Lu Yu told him to “use his head and think.”
Upon hearing Lu Yu’s words, he couldn’t help but furrow his brow as well.
Lu Yu continued, “When I just looked at the third trial, it seemed boundless. Therefore, the Dragon Clan never intended for us to leave this place, but rather to undergo tests here. So, I don’t have time to fight with you; I need to find a way to pass the trial. However, if you really want to fight, I wouldn’t mind settling the score with you.”
Wan She Wang suppressed his anger, thinking of the purpose of his arrival, and had to nod in agreement, saying, “You’re right! I didn’t expect people in this era to be so clever too. If you’ve already thought it through like this, I’ll temporarily trust you. Not letting us out isn’t going to achieve anything by simply starving us here. It’s likely the purpose of this trial is either endurance or wisdom.”
“You’re thinking along the same lines as me,” Lu Yu nodded. “I believe it’s more about endurance. This desert has absolutely nothing, and the air is extremely dry. If there were only one sun in the sky, an ordinary person would die within two days without any shelter. Since we might be here for a long time, the number of suns increasing from one to three must be a test of my endurance.”
“Three suns?” After entering, King Wan She focused all his attention on Lu Yu and completely ignored the sky and surroundings.
When Lu Yu said that there were three suns in the sky, the King of Ten Thousand Snakes curiously raised his head.
“Oh!”
The King of Ten Thousand Snakes let out a scream, unable to help but bow his head and cover his eyes with both hands as he roared in fury, “Lu Yu, you bastard! How dare you ambush me!”
King of the Ten Thousand Snakes was instantly aware that his eyes had been burned through.
He shouted as he quickly backed away.
If Lu Yu launched an attack at this moment, he wouldn’t even have the ability to dodge.
The King of Ten Thousand Snakes retreated thousands of meters backward and crashed into a field of sand dunes before finally coming to a stop.
His eyes were gradually recovering, and the cold light in them turned into a murderous glare.
Lu Yu stood still without moving, sneering coldly, “If I wanted to make a move, would I have waited until you lost your eyesight? Wan She Wang, you overestimate yourself. If I were to fight, I would take your life openly and honorably.”
“Lu Yu, when all of this is over, I will come find you again,” said the King of Ten Thousand Snakes as he leaped onto the sand dune and gazed into the distance.
He could not see the end either, unable to discern what exactly lay within this desert.
“It should test not only our endurance, but also our resilience and survival abilities,” said the King of Ten Thousand Snakes as he walked up to Lu Yu.
He told him some intelligence, and he didn’t want to owe Lu Yu this favor.
Lu Yu said, “So, are we talking about a situation with supplies, or without supplies?”
“It’s definitely a matter of seeing who can hold out longer without any supplies.”
“If that’s the case, I can support myself for a month without eating or drinking and still not die,” Lu Yu replied.
The King of Ten Thousand Snakes sneered coldly, “Compared to me, you’re still far from good enough.”
Lu Yu laughed and said, “Hehe, I forgot that you’re a snake. Snakes can survive in such environments longer than humans.”
Wan She Wang’s mouth twitched, and with a sinister voice, he said: “I’m bored anyway. If you’re looking for a fight, I’ll be happy to oblige until the end.”
Although he is known as the King of Ten Thousand Snakes, he is not truly a snake.
He also hated being called a snake by others the most.
Lu Yu is like someone who has nothing better to do than to stroke the dragon’s inverted scales, provoking anger in others.
The King of Ten Thousand Snakes’ serpentine hair thrashed violently as his fighting spirit surged.
Lu Yu scoffed, “I doubt the Dragon Clan would just sit back and watch us waste time like this. I don’t believe they’re unaware of the coming of the Doomsday Tide.”
“Hiss.” The King of Ten Thousand Snakes was startled and said, “Could this desert merely be the beginning?”
