Chapter 537: 537: Hall of Water’s Trial (22)
The exchange of words between the mermaid princess, Serene Oceans and the princess of Tan Clan surprised the others who were together with them. It seems that for the intermediate and major trial killing is a taboo. A fight between two huashen Realm cultivators, can be considered life staking especially for those who just borrowed their powers and wasn’t entirely developed by them.
That’s why the Mermaid Princess said that her question of asking Tan Bingyu and Yue Huashui to fight her for the trial is a trap. With such unknown results, accidental killing might occur and this will lead to the trial takers being disqualified. Moreover, what they can do is disqualification means death. After all, the one who would punish them might be the owner of this hall which means the Water God himself.
{Enough talking and continue the trial.}
All of a sudden a sudden pressure from the water itself fell on everything with it. Even Tan Shenyu and the others fell on their knees under this pressure including the stone mermaid princess herself. But for some unknown reason, only Tan Bingyu and Yue Huashui were unaffected.
This only lasted for a few seconds, and everything returned to normal afterwards. Now the eyes on Yue Huashui and Tan Bingyu had increased from the trial taker side to the mermaid race. They couldn’t believe that these two weren’t forced to kneel under the pressure of the Water God.
However, in reality, everyone from Yue Huashui’s group were only affected for a few minutes and when the moonlight fell on them the pressure had long disappeared. They were just surprised by the Water God’s voice and remained on their knees.
The Mermaid Princess, Serene Oceans, moved to straighten her lowered back and said, "See the difference in blessings? I have the blessing of the Water God but couldn’t even defend against the pressure of his descent while the two of them couldn’t feel the pressure at all as the blessing they got on them gave them the same standing as those with divinity!"
"I am the aide that is directly under the Mistress. As someone who is the closest to serve her do you think it’s right to make me kneel even if one is a god? Unless the divinity is stronger than my mistress, that is impossible," said Tan Bingyu.
All of the sudden a heavy pressure from the water had almost caused her to kneel and almost suffocated her. She instinctively activates her domain, almost freezing half of the Hall of Water.
On the other hand, Yue Xuexia who noticed the actions of the Water God on her subordinate made her angry and activates her domain instantly destroying half of the Water Hall and the backlash wounded the soul of the Water God.
What those in the Mermaid Clan’s Territory didn’t know was that the artificial full moon in the Hall of Water became real and devoured half of the hall. Every Huashen Realm God was dumbfounded as they felt the pressure of a n Ancient God’s descent.
Yue Xuexia’s cold voice resounded in the Hall of Water, shocking all the Gods watching at the Main Altar.
"A mere Minor God. You dare to make a move on this Empress’s person!"
—
At the Main Altar...
The Water God who was suddenly struck by Yue Xuexia domain was screaming as almost half of his soul cracked under her pressure. They couldn’t believe what they are feeling and looked at the broken water mirror and saw the last scene of a gorgeous empress with long white hair, silver eyes, thunder and moon imprint on her forehead looking like an exquisite crown and the flash of lightning tribulation that struck the Water God’s avatar badly that his soul almost dissipate on the spot.
The Water God held his face with cracks and exclaimed, " Impossible! She is only at Peak Huashen Realm. How can she control the Lightning God’s divine lightning!!??"
"Without doubt, that is the Lightning God’s ability. She had the bloodline of that Eccentric God!?" The God of Wisdom said.
The Wind God said, "There is no lightning in this separated dimension we’ve made. How can she summon a divine lightning to hit the God of Water?"
"She is a pureblood descendant from the Royal Lei Clan who is born from the Lightning God’s blood. She can accumulate lightning in her body as she possesses the Lightning God’s Physique. It’s not surprising she can even absorb pure lightning tribulation at that level," The Sun God commented.
Although he himself didn’t expect this situation as this is the first time he had seen the Moon Goddess make such a fierce retaliation, he had longed to know about her father’s background and connection to the Royal Lei Clan. That’s why they said that the direct lineage of the Moon Palace can control both the Moon and Lightning. This is his first time seeing someone from the Moon Palace openly do it though.
The Shura God laughs in excitement. The more he learns about his chosen successor the more delighted he becomes.
He mumbles, "Moonlight and Lightning also have a bit of space elements. What more are you hiding, my little empress~?"
The space element he detected is what caused the lightning tribulation to hit the water god despite them watching from a different space. He noticed a small crack in the dimensional space they are in where the lightning had come out.
The God of Light, helps heal the injured soul of the God of Water while saying with a gentle voice, "You are an old god yourself. Don’t let the youngsters provoke you with their words."
He knew that the Goddess of the Moon wouldn’t have struck back if the Water God didn’t intentionally oppress her subordinate (Tan Bingyu). Because the Water God made the first move, they couldn’t scold the young goddess for fighting back.
Hatred flashed in the eyes of the God of Water. He is already planning to kill all the mortals under the protection of that damn moon goddess. He was only emitting a bit of a murderous intent but the God of Sun and the Primordial God of Shura’s aura fell on him. He almost exploded on the spot and perished.
The God of Sun said, "My wife and her people, if you dare to make a move I don’t mind becoming your enemy, Water."
"Let’s just say you can’t harm my chosen successor or I will have to make a move~" The Shura God said with a smiling face yet the depth of those red eyes were full of killing intent which made the Water God shiver in great fear. There is also a warning from the Sun God who is his direct nemesis, he might evaporate without even saving a droplet of himself.
The Water God can only accept his defeat and said, "I won’t make moves against the rules of my hall. This is the oath we’ve made."

Back to the mermaid clan’s territory, Tan Bingyu noticed that the pressure that fell on her disappeared the moment the whole hall shook as if being hit by a big earthquake that lasted only for a few minutes.
She herself was stunned and was confused until she heard her master’s voice. Actually, everyone in the mermaid clan’s territory heard it but only a few recognize who owns the voice.
Yue Xuexia’s voice said, {Complete the two trials and forget the Inheritance one. You have offended the Water God, and I have injured him. He will not choose any heir from your group. Return to the surface after you complete your current trials and prepare for the next hall. I’ll compensate your group for the loss of not being able to do the Inheritance Trial.}
"As you wish, Mistress!"
At this voice, Tan Bingyu, Tan Huangyu, Tan Shenyu, and Xue Renxue all kneeled to accept their mistress’s command. Yue Huashui looked confused but since his Mom had spoken he would listen to her. As for Xia Baiyu and the other three, they were delighted by this opportunity to speak with the Moon Goddess. A chance no one would have expected for them to have in their lifetime.
Upon hearing that Yue Huashui is not going to undergo the Inheritance Trial, the Mermaid Princess’s face turned pale. She can only curse her mouth for speaking words that provoke Tan Bingyu, making her say those provocative words about the Water God ending this kind of situation.
However, there is no medicine for regret. She can only announce that the arena will resume the trials and she left the building knowing that she failed to escape from fate once again.
True to the instructions of the Moon Goddess, Yue Huashui’s team only stayed in the mermaid clan’s territory for a month and left after defeating one of an heir which is not the third mermaid princess. After that day when the two divinities had clashed, she had never come out of the palace and was said to have heard crying all day and night.
But this had nothing to do with Yue Xuexia and her people. After completing the Intermediate and Major Trials they had listed for, they gave up on the inheritance trial and were now allowed to meet the Huashen Realm Seniors who were waiting for them.
There is also other good news as Lan Guye had woken up and his wounds were healed under the treatment of the Moon Goddess in the past month. Within the group the one who is most delighted to see Lan Guye awake was Xing Suiri.
Xing Suiri sat beside Lan Guye and said, "You are awake."
"Thank you for saving me, Xing-Shixiong," Lan Guye said with a smile.
Xing Suiri was dazed in Lan Guye’s smile for a while before responding, "Um. You’ve also protected me with your life. I owe you my life as well."
