The inheritance trial had changed this time, Xu Chuan had already learned about it in the rules.
In this trial, they, the martial artists, would be attacked by unknown existences, wave after wave.
After one round, those who survived would automatically advance to the next round, while those who were about to die would be immediately teleported out of this mysterious space, automatically losing their qualification for further trials.
Upon clearing a round, one would randomly receive a reward.
It could be an inheritance, a heavenly treasure, or various divine weapons!
While being attacked, killing an enemy would earn a point.
Points could be used to exchange for anything among the rewards.
The higher the points, the more and better the rewards one could exchange for!
Conversely, the fewer the points, the fewer rewards one could exchange for.
At this moment, all rewards were clearly priced.
Except for the inheritance of the Palace Master of the Golden Ancient Palace at the very top!
Anything else could be exchanged for!
Xu Chuan had even seen the Supreme Bone and Emperor Soldiers on the list before!
It was clear that the martial artists who had entered had also noticed.
Therefore, as soon as the trial began, all the martial artists present were already impatient!
Heh heh!
A terrifying sound echoed from the darkness.
Then, illuminated by the light beams, a black river stretching for ten thousand miles rapidly charged towards them.
The overwhelming malevolent aura shot straight into the sky, striking fear into the hearts of the weaker martial artists present.
Xu Chuan's gaze sharpened, and his expression turned grave.
Demons!
The lowest-ranking Imps were equivalent to the Mortal Transformation realm of martial artists.
There were at least ten thousand of them!
Lined up in a row, they charged towards them at high speed!
They instantly clashed with the martial artists who had rushed out earlier!
The slaughter began!
Even many prodigies had entered the fray, fighting these Imps without regard for their reputation.
Yang Sheng was among them, killing frantically.
Although the Imps were not strong, only at the Mortal Transformation level.
Their sheer numbers were overwhelming!
An endless stream of Imps swarmed forward, and many martial artists were instantly surrounded and on the verge of death.
Fortunately, at the last moment, the severely injured martial artists were teleported away.
On the battlefield, more and more martial artists were eliminated.
This was only the first round, and the terror of the trial had already begun to show!
Xu Chuan stood by the light beam, watching it all with a cold, unmoving gaze.
Only the Killing God Blade in his hand was tightly gripped.
Killing enemies?
It wasn't just about who charged the fastest.
His forte was the blade!
In such a situation, the blade was undoubtedly the most suitable weapon!
With sweeping strikes, he would slay gods and devils alike!
Clang!
The long blade was drawn, carrying a blade aura that instantly tore apart an approaching Imp.
"Let's go, it's our turn!"
A smile tugged at the corner of Xu Chuan's mouth as he spoke to Su Miaoyin.
After speaking, his eyes instantly became sharp!
He swung his long blade, and blade energies and aura surged like waves, ceaselessly.
Under the Killing God Blade, these Imps were like paper, shattering upon contact.
Seeing Xu Chuan join, Su Miaoyin was not to be outdone. With a wave of her arm, the Nirvana True Flame erupted from her hand.
In one exchange, large numbers of Imps were consumed.
Before long, the ten thousand Imps were completely annihilated by the martial artists present!
There were still quite a few people left in the trial space, about one to two thousand.
But even more had been eliminated!
Sixty percent of the lower-level martial artists had been eliminated, and this was only the first round!
One could imagine how terrifying this trial was.
"Congratulations, you have completed the first round of the trial!"
That voice echoed again, reaching the ears of everyone present.
Immediately after, a ranking list appeared on the light beam, recording the names and scores of the martial artists present.
The person ranked first was named Ling Tian.
He had a staggering three thousand points.
Clearly, in the first round, he had killed three thousand Imps!
Xu Chuan's name was also on the list, but he was only ninth, with a score of one thousand.
Su Miaoyin was slightly behind him, ranked eleventh, with eight hundred points.
What surprised Xu Chuan the most was that Yang Sheng was ranked fifth, with one thousand eight hundred points, holding a high position.
"First round trial completion rewards are being distributed!"
As the words fell, a five-hundred-year-old ginseng appeared in Xu Chuan's hand.
To him, it was negligible, and he casually tossed it into his storage space.
As for Yang Sheng, he received a high-grade Earth-tier longsword.
It was hard to say if it was good or bad luck.
As soon as he obtained the longsword, he was discovered by the group who had been chasing him.
They were already full of anger with nowhere to vent it.
And then Yang Sheng obtained a high-grade Earth-tier longsword.
Instantly, the faces of the leaders turned grim.
They all surrounded him.
"Senior Brother Zhang, this kid actually got another high-grade Earth-tier weapon!"
"This kid isn't weak, and he had such strength yet he still tried to steal the Supreme Bone, truly despicable!"
"There's no rule against fighting here, let's attack together and snatch the Supreme Bone and the Earth-tier longsword!"
Several martial artists following Zhang Yun spoke up.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yun's brow furrowed, and he was the first to reveal his true colors.
"This kid is right before our eyes, whoever catches him first will get the Supreme Bone and this Earth-tier longsword!"
"Good!"
These prodigies vying for the Supreme Bone had the same intention and immediately agreed.
Zhang Yun also dared not show weakness and followed closely.
"Senior Brother, save me!"
Seeing so many people coming towards him, Yang Sheng instantly panicked. There was nowhere for him to hide here, and once caught, he would be utterly destroyed!
So he called out to Xu Chuan for help, hoping he would step in to block these people, allowing him to escape and survive until the next round began.
He had completely forgotten his resentment towards Xu Chuan from before.
But Xu Chuan ignored Yang Sheng's plea for help, instead watching with amusement as he was chased and fled by the many prodigies.
Because he knew that the protagonist of destiny would not be so easily captured.
As Xu Chuan expected, Yang Sheng was indeed helped as soon as he was in danger!
"Who dares to bully my junior brother!"
A large hammer flew out from the darkness, smashing down with a bang in front of Zhang Yun and the group of prodigies, instantly halting their offensive.
Then, Cui Jiang strode out from the darkness. His aura was incredibly powerful.
He had clearly advanced to the sixth level of the Nirvana realm.
Seeing the newcomer, Zhang Yun's expression became extremely solemn.
"Cui Jiang, don't meddle in other people's business. This kid stole our Supreme Bone and must pay the price!"
Zhang Yun was not afraid, raising his spear and coldly speaking to Cui Jiang.
It was clear that he knew Cui Jiang.
"So it's you, a defeated foe, daring to chase my Taiyi Holy Land's true disciple."
Cui Jiang picked up the large hammer on the ground and said lightly.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yun's face turned ashen.
Back then, with his cultivation at the ninth level of the Divine Ability realm, he had fought two against one against Cui Jiang, who was at the eighth level of the Divine Ability realm, and had still lost. This had always been a deep humiliation he could not forget.
"Cui Jiang, tell this kid to hand over the Supreme Bone, and we'll let him off. Otherwise, you can't protect him!"
Zhang Yun said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, come on, I'd like to see what ability you have to snatch him from my grasp!"
"If you dare to make a move, I'll think more highly of you. If you don't, then get lost!"
Cui Jiang held up his large hammer, ready to act if these people dared to say another word.
He wanted to see how strong Zhang Yun and these martial artists were, all at the sixth level of the Nirvana realm!
Zhang Yun gritted his teeth and frowned, but he dared not make a move. Despite his many unwilling feelings, he could only swallow his anger.
"Consider this kid lucky today. Once we leave this ancient palace, don't let us encounter him again, or you'll be waiting to collect his corpse!"
Zhang Yun's expression was cold. He shot Yang Sheng a fierce look and turned to leave.
Seeing that even this core disciple of a major power at the sixth level of the Nirvana realm had to retreat, the other martial artists who were chasing Yang Sheng naturally dared not speak further and could only follow him away!
