Chapter 63 - First Trial

Primordial Azure Dragon: You are qualified to undergo the trial I had left behind… If you are able to pass through the trial I had left behind, I can grant you three drops of Azure Dragon blood and let you possess Dragon God's bloodline. Are, you willing?

Jean: Yes!

Jasmine: Wait! First hear him out! We don't know what we're going in!

Jean: Who cares! I am almost invincible with the Visionary, unless some terrifying thing appears, then I am safe. Besides, I'm sure loss would mean death.

Primordial Azure Dragon: Haha, very good.

The aged voice began to laugh and said.

Primordial Azure Dragon: However, before I finish my words, there's no need for you to agree to quickly. The trial I left behind does not test the challenger's strength, but test their innate talent, willpower, and determination.

The trial's difficulty, will vary based on the challenger's strength. Once one enters the trial grounds, there will only be two outcomes. One, is to pass the trial and obtain the Dragon God's bloodline; the other outcome… is Death!

Jean: I accept anyways.

Primordial Azure Dragon: Your answer is not reluctant. Your courage is quite remarkable; but I sense that a very large part of your determination comes from greed for power, however, you were able to get the Phoenix Bloodline even with that greed.

Since it's like this, I'll grant your wish, and open the gate to the trial grounds for you… Before you enter the gate of the trial ground, you have enough time to prepare for everything; especially mental preparations.

You have the blood of the Phoenix flowing within you, which proves that you had successfully completed the trial left behind by the Phoenix before. However, you mustn't try to gauge the difficulty of the Dragon God's trial with the difficulty of the Phoenix's trial.

The Phoenix's nature is benevolent and conservative. Even if the the trial it left behind is tough, it would not be difficult to the extent of driving one into despair, and it is even more unlikely to be fatal.

But the Dragon God being the sovereign of all beasts, looks down upon the world with pride. The Dragon God's bloodline, absolutely would never be granted to any ordinary person.

Only a supreme being who possesses enough talent and willpower to become the ruler of heaven and earth, can be qualified to bear the Dragon God's bloodline!

Jean smiled, this was the description of the person he wanted to be, someone with power, looking down to gods and devils, unable to be stopped from anything existing.

Primordial Azure Dragon: If you believe you have this kind of qualification and courage, then step into this trial ground gate! If you stand still, you live. If you step into it, whether you will live and die will not be certain. Make the last decision

But Jean asked, instead of entering the formation.

Jean: How long will it take?

Primordial Azure Dragon: The time will depend on you…. Perhaps a few days, or perhaps a few month, or perhaps a few years.

Jean nodded and stepped in the formation, in that moment, the dragon god spoke.

Primordial Azure Dragon: Haha, what a good youngster. Even though an astonishing aura of blood and death permeates within his soul, this stage of measuring character and courage, he completely passed.

Jean reopened his eyes and found himself in a dry and barren highland. Gazing outwards, the surroundings were full of steep-sloped mountains which pierced into the sea of clouds. The encircling mountain range surrounded the area, turning this place into an inescapable and isolated land, where even half of the emitted light-rays were blocked.

Primordial Azure Dragon: Welcome to the Dragon God's trial grounds, young human. In this trial, there will be a total of three stages. Where you are now, is where the first stage will be held. In front of you, is the only entrance to where the second stage will be held. Defeat all the Stone Dragon Warriors in this place, and the entrance will naturally open… I wish you best of luck.

As the Primordial Azure Dragon's voice disappeared, in front of Jean, a ball of dirt-yellow light suddenly started to flash… Jean quickly took a step forward, and with a single hand, he wielded the Overlord's Colossal Sword horizontally in front of him.

The yellow light scattered, and a figure appeared before Jean's eyes. Its body was no different from an average person, but it seemed to be carved from stone, and looked unbelievably firm.

Jasmine: Its strength is probably at the 4th True Profound Realm, same as you.

Jean: Heh, it will be easy then…

The Stone Dragon Warrior had already begun to move as charged straight towards Jean. Its body was seemingly heavy, as its running steps were exceptionally deafening.

Jean just swung his heavy sword, easily breaking it, right now his current power is at the 10th True Profound Realm, at the Evil Soul, it will reach 6th Spirit Profound Realm, and at Burning Heart, it will reach 10th Spirit Profound Realm.

In short, even if there was 100 of them, he would easily beat them, it's a shame that he hasn't Overkill if that's the case.

The shattered body of the Stone Dragon Warrior laid on the floor and then, disappeared completely in a flash of light.

Not even three breaths' time after Jean defeated the Stone Dragon Warrior, in front of him, two yellow balls of light suddenly started to flash, and right after, two Stone Dragon Warriors, with exactly the same figures as the ones before, held up their spears as they charged towards Jean

However, he just made the same waving motion with his sword, and destroyed them.

Without even giving him time to wait, after the two shattered Stone Dragon Warriors disappeared, the yellow rays of light once again flashed in front of Jean, and this time, there were four of them.

He quickly dispatched of them with a single attack, and then, 8 rays of light appeared.

Jasmine: Try to limit your profound strength, they will always double at every wave, be careful.

Jean: Yeah.

Jean used a swing to destroy 3 of them, before he held the heavy sword with both of his hands and swung for a second consecutive strike, destroying 4 of them. For the last one, ge used Visionary to destroy it with an invisible strike, it was far easier imagining objects breaking than humans spontaneously dying.

Yellow light once again flashed in front of him, and eight new Stone Dragon Warriors appeared.

Jean: 8? Shouldn't they be 16-Shit!

He turned around and used his heavy sword to block the incoming atrikea of 8 more statues that spawned behind him.

After successfully blocking them, Jean swung away his sword, sending their spears away, Jean grabbed the sword with both of his hands again and swing with much more strength, making a 180° turn, and destroyed 5 statues behind him and destroying 3 spears, before he spinned for the other 180° and destroying all of the statues that still tried to put themselves on their fighting stance.

His Overlord's Colossal Sword stopped on the ground and Jean used his legs to kill the remaining 3 stone warriors.

*Bam!* *Pow!* *Slam!* *Crash!*

Seventh wave, 64 statues, Jean started to use his current 100% to quickly dispatch them, in less than 30 minutes, they were destroyed.

Eighth wave, 128 warriors, Jean was forced to enter Evil Soul and used Visionary to feel energetic again, before he struck them down in a hour.

Ninth wave, 256 warriors, still in Evil Soul, he struck them down, however, he got a bit tired and some injuries, when the wave almost ended, he used Visionary to bind the last warrior and heal his injuries, before he took a small pause.

After taking a small time to relax, he killed the last stone dragon, but instead of the tenth wave, a voice sounded out.

Primordial Azure Dragon: Very good, young human. The fact that you were able to reach this stage is already an excellent sight. However, the first stage of the trial has not yet been completed. The last wave, which is also the most difficult challenge, is going to start soon. But before that, I will give you sixty breaths of time of rest even if you already rested before.

Jean nodded at those words, it gave him time to think about his situation, the first thing he checked was the time.

[3:32]

[24/7/1995]

[V: "Visionary"]

Hmm, 3 hours and half of fight… Truly it is such a shame that he doesn't have Overkill… With the number of warriors he slaughtered, he could actually reach the 6th or 7th True Profound Realm, maybe even 8th, when he finishes this trial, he will use a Goldscale Dragon Transformation Pellet to level up to 6th True Profound Realm.

Sixty breaths of time silently passed.

At this time, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the mountain cliffs directly in front of him. Along with the sound, a gate that was near ten meters in height suddenly opened in the mountain cliff. Within the mountain gate, a towering silhouette slowly walked out with heavy steps. As it fully walked out, the stone gate behind him also closed amidst the rumbling sound.

This silhouette's outer shape was very similar to the Stone Dragon Warriors, however, it was much bigger than an ordinary Stone Dragon Warrior.

Its body was over three meters, and its entire body was covered in thick and heavy golden colored armor; the weapon in its hands was more so extraordinarily eye-catching…

That was a colossal sword with a completely grey body, and was even a size larger than the Overlord's Colossal Sword in Jean's hands. The sword's shape was twisted, as if it was an oddly shaped dragon bone. As for the sword's tip, it impressively displayed the shape of a ferocious roaring dragon.

Whether it was this enormous Stone Dragon Warrior, or the sword in its hand, both emitted an extremely terrifying aura… An aura that was even more terrifying than the 250 Stone Dragon Warriors that appeared altogether at the same time.

The Stone Dragon General was the final boss of this trial.

Jasmine: 1st Earth Profound Realm, even if you use Burning Heart, the possibility to beat him is very little, unless you use Visionary.

Jean's gaze turned from the enemy to its weapon, that caught his eyes.

Jean: And the sword?

Jasmine: It's a genuine Sky Profound Weapon.

Jean: So the first waves were done to calculate my strength, and attack me with a stronger enemy than me, not only that, since I never used Burning Heart, it means that the Primordial Azure Dragon knows about my Evil God's Divine Veins… Who cares, in front of Visionary, even an Emperor Profound Cultivator can't hope to win.
