Chapter 399: The Only One!

Su Mo was stunned by the bloody figure’s terrifying aura.

His mighty yell had sounded like earth-shattering thunder.

“This is…”

Su Mo was completely shocked and did not know who the bloody figure was.“Could this be the Real Body of Blood Demon?”

However, the aura of this bloody figure was more than a hundred times stronger than that of the Real Body of Blood Demon.

“Father…”

The severely weakened Xue Mo was overjoyed at the sight of the bloody figure.

Xue Mo secretly heaved a sigh of relief as he now knew that he would live another day. He finally allowed himself to relax and passed out from blood loss.

“Su Mo, I’ll definitely kill you next time!”

Xue Mo roared in his mind before losing consciousness.

“Mo’er!” the bloody figure screamed when he saw Xue Mo pass out, and shrouded him with a sanguine light.

The figure’s lightning-like gaze swept over Su Mo and left him quaking.

“You’re good!”

The bloody figure said this flatly, before tearing through the space and leaving with Xue Mo.

Stone One was barely visible in the sky thousands of meters away.

“Huff!”

Su Mo heaved a sigh of relief when the bloody figure disappeared from sight. It was only then that he realized that cold sweat was dripping from his head.

That bloody figure was too terrifying, his gaze alone had made Su Mo feel like he had fallen into the abyss.

“Was that Xue Mo’s father? Did his father leave a trace of his will to protect Xue Mo!”

Su Mo’s face turned gloomy. He had never expected Xue Mo to have such a hidden card.

Thankfully, the bloody figure had not attacked him. Otherwise, he would definitely be dead. “Maybe he only has defensive capabilities!” Su Mo thought to himself.

“This is bad. If Cold-blood Hall’s fighting force in the East Continent is so powerful, they would pose a problem in future!”

Su Mo’s brows knit together in consternation.

After a short while, Su Mo sighed. Now that it had come to this, he could only react accordingly to events that unfolded.

…

Outside the golden door.

“Next!” Gold One’s voice sounded again.

The crowd fell silent. Both Chu Zhantian and Xue Mo were top-notch geniuses, but they had failed the trial. It seemed like this trial was simply unpassable.

Everyone secretly sighed, thinking that it would be pointless to come to the Firmament Palace again if the trials were this difficult!

Although everyone was despondent, they still wanted to take a shot at the trial after coming so far. They were not going to leave without trying.

Wu Sheng stepped into the golden light.

He was not hopeful, since he was the only remaining genius from Hong Domain, apart from Su Mo and Hong Qingxuan.

He knew that there was no way he could pass the trial as many top-notch geniuses from other domains had failed. He only intended to end the trial quickly so that he could leave Firmament Divine Realm.

As he landed in the fighting ring, a Teal Stone Puppet at Lv 5 True Spirit Realm immediately started fighting him.

Although his cultivation was not high, he was definitely one of the best fighters of his level. He finished off the puppet with one move.

Then, a Lv 6 Teal Stone Puppet challenged Wu Sheng.

As a first-rate swordsman, he displayed incredible swordsmanship. This, coupled with his sword will at the Grand Completion of 1st stage, made his attacks extremely powerful. He overpowered the puppet and forced it off the fighting ring with merely six moves.

Soon after, Wu Sheng fought against a Lv 7 puppet. They were well-matched and there was no clear winner.

Since Wu Sheng’s cultivation was lower, his trial was easier compared to people like Xue Mo and Chu Zhantian. Both of them had to fight against opponents of a higher realm, but Wu Sheng’s opponents were only at a higher level.

Sword Qi and radiance danced across the fighting ring. In mere moments, Wu Sheng and the puppet had exchanged over a hundred blows.

Wu Sheng was capable of fighting opponents of 3 levels above him in Hong Domain. Although he could not do that here, he was still able hold his own against the puppet 2 levels above him.

Eventually, after over 200 blows, Wu Sheng defeated the puppet and completed the trial.

“That’s it?”

Wu Sheng looked at the puppets he had defeated in disbelief.

He had managed to accomplish a task that so many top-notch geniuses had failed to complete! This seemed like a dream to Wu Sheng!

“That wasn’t too difficult!” Wu Sheng was confused. There was no way that the people before him could have failed such an easy trial.

However, since he had succeeded, he did not dwell on it. He felt very fortunate to obtain the Legacy.

The golden door in the sky emitted a golden beam and sent Wu Sheng out.

Outside the golden door.

Gold One said calmly, “Passed!” Following which, Wu Sheng walked out of the gate.

The crowd was dead silent, and stared at Wu Sheng with disbelief.

“He actually passed?”

“Did he complete the trial?”

Everyone was surprised and could not believe that a mere Lv 5 genius had succeeded, when so many before him had failed.

“Brother, how difficult was the trial?”

Wu Sheng was immediately confronted with questions the moment he got out. Everyone else stared expectantly at him, clearly wanting to know the answer as well.

“Its difficulty should be similar to the past trials. You’ll be fighting against puppets of the same level, followed by puppets of one level above you, and lastly, puppets of two levels above you!” Wu Sheng replied.

“What?” everyone looked at Wu Sheng in disbelief and shock. “Similar to the past trials? Then how did so many top-notch geniuses fail the trial?”

Seeing that they did not believe him, Wu Sheng walked to a corner and waited quietly.

Other people continued to enter the golden door for the trial, but no one else passed the trial.

Soon, only a few people were left in the square. Other than Wenren Tianyi, Lei Xiao, and Jiang Taixu, only Hong Qingxuan and Chu Yunfeng remained.

Thus far, Wu Sheng had been the only one to have successfully passed the third trial.

Wenren Tianyi and the two others looked grim. Although Wu Sheng had completed the trial, this did not raise their spirits. Their cultivation had reached Lv 9 True Spirit Realm, meaning that unlike the others, they would be up against opponents of a higher realm.

“Junior Sister Hong, I’ll be heading in first!” Chu Yunfeng told Hong Qingxuan before entering the gate.

Hong Qingxuan’s face was grim as well. She was secretly trying to reach an optimal mental state in order to pass the trial.

To no one’s surprise, Chu Yunfeng failed and was transported out of the Firmament Divine Realm.

However, Su Mo did not steal his storage ring, since he had already done that at the Distant Ancient City.

Lei Xiao and Jiang Taixu also took the trial, only to face puppets at Lv 2 Enlightenment Realm right from the start, and were defeated faster than Xue Mo. Su Mo did not let them off, and mugged all of their belongings.

Now, only Wenren Tianyi and Hong Qingxuan remained.

They had waited to be last because they had already become official disciples during the second trial. They had volunteered to participate in the third trial even though they would receive the Legacy regardless of the outcome.

“Do you still want to take the trial?”

Gold One looked at the two of them as he sought confirmation.

“Of course!”

Wenren Tianyi and Hong Qingxuan nodded simultaneously. As first-rate geniuses, they were naturally not intimidated. They would definitely give the trial a shot even if the chances of failure were high.

Swish!

Hong Qingxuan flew into the golden door first.
