Chapter 2054 Heir to the Heavenly Throne (2)

Seizing the opportunity, Ren Yuan stepped onto the path of celestial light. It pulsed with warmth, a beacon of hope amidst the desolate landscape. As he walked, the corrupted beings remained frozen, their forms flickering in uncertainty.Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

He continued his journey, the monolith growing larger with each step. The whispers returned, but this time, they were laced with a different emotion – fear. The path of celestial light was a stark reminder of the power Ren Yuan wielded, a power that could potentially cleanse the corruption plaguing the Heavenly Court.

The monolith loomed before him, a jagged scar against the blood-red sky. As Ren Yuan reached its base, the whispers morphed into a single, chilling voice that echoed from within the obsidian structure.

"You have overcome the first hurdle, mortal," it boomed, the voice devoid of any emotion. "But the heart of the trial lies within. Are you prepared to face the consequences of your actions?"

Ren Yuan gripped the hilt of his sword tighter, his gaze fixed on the cryptic symbols etched onto the monolith's surface. The Heavenly Desolate Orb, safely tucked away in his robes, hummed with a faint warmth, a silent reassurance.

"I am," he declared, his voice ringing with conviction. "I will see this through, no matter the cost."

The monolith pulsed once, and a section of its surface dissolved, revealing a swirling vortex of inky blackness. It emanated an aura of pure, unadulterated chaos, threatening to consume everything in its path.

Taking a deep breath, Ren Yuan steeled himself. This was it. The true test. He raised his hand, channeling the God of Heaven's inheritance. A divine shield materialized around him, shimmering defiantly against the encroaching darkness.

With a resolute nod, Ren Yuan stepped into the vortex. The world dissolved into a chaotic kaleidoscope of colors and sensations. He tumbled through a void, the roar of the divine storm deafening. When his vision finally cleared, he found himself standing on a desolate platform, suspended amidst an endless expanse of swirling darkness.

In the distance, a lone figure stood silhouetted against the churning chaos. It was humanoid in form, but its features were obscured by a swirling mist. As Ren Yuan approached, a wave of dread washed over him. This entity emanated an aura of immense power, a power that rivaled even the God of Heaven himself.

The entity extended a tendril of darkness, its touch promising unimaginable power. But Ren Yuan recoiled, the Heavenly Desolate Orb pulsing warmly against his chest, a beacon of truth amidst the entity's deception.

"Master?" Ren Yuan scoffed. "I serve no master. You may be powerful, but your words reek of manipulation. You speak of freedom, yet your power is all-consuming."

The entity's form contorted in rage. "Insolence!" it roared. "Do you not see the shackles the Heavenly Court has placed upon you? Their order is a gilded cage, stifling your true potential!"

"The Heavenly Court may have its flaws," Ren Yuan countered, his voice ringing with conviction. "But they have also protected this realm for millennia. Order and chaos are two sides of the same coin. One cannot exist without the other."

The entity shrieked, the platform trembling with its fury. "Foolish mortal! You cling to the shackles of a dead empire! Join me, and together, we will reshape reality in our image!"

But Ren Yuan stood firm, his resolve unwavering. He had come too far, faced too many trials, to be swayed by the entity's twisted promises. He raised his hand, channeling the God of Heaven's inheritance.

"The fate of the Primal Chaos rests on my shoulders," Ren Yuan declared, his voice echoing through the void. "And I will not be a pawn in your game. You, whoever you are, prepare to face the true inheritor of the God of Heaven's legacy!"

The entity surprisingly fell silent. Its body was distorted as if it could disappear at any moment. "Foolish mortal. You can lie to everyone but not yourself. The darkness in your heart has long consumed you... Kekeke..." The entity spoke slowly before its figure dissolved completely.

A tremor shook the platform as the entity's form rippled and dissolved. The swirling darkness receded, revealing only the desolate platform suspended in the void. A wave of exhaustion washed over Ren Yuan, the divine shield flickering and fading.

Ren Yuan furrowed his brow. It was true as it said, he had merely pretended to be righteous to pass the trial...
