The Second Trial

The dark-skinned youth astonished many. He completely disregarded Shentu Nantian's authority, and his origins were shrouded in mystery. No one could explain where he came from or how he entered the Empress Secret Realm.

Yi Yun also paid close attention to the dark-skinned boy. He noticed that the boy's gaze would intentionally or unintentionally fall on him, and he would give him a friendly smile. This puzzled Yi Yun. What was the boy's relationship with him?

He thought for a moment, but couldn't recall ever seeing this person before.

"Strangeness..."

Yi Yun frowned slightly, but didn't think much of it.

"I just heard them say that you obtained thirty-seven Emperor's Mark in your first trial?"

Lin Xin Tong walked towards Yi Yun, her beautiful eyes smiling, with a hint of disbelief in them. Thirty-seven Emperor's Mark —that was indeed an exaggeration.

"It was just a coincidence." Yi Yun shrugged. "Shentu Nantian is right. I did rely on my Energy Vision to cheat. If it were a real competition, I don't know what result I could achieve."

"Your Energy Vision is also an ability that others can't match. I only obtained nine Emperor's Mark."

As Lin Xin Tong spoke, Yi Yun caught a glimpse of her fair wrist. On that jade-like skin, beautiful Emperor's Mark were neatly arranged like plum blossoms.

Nine pieces...

Yi Yun touched his chin, quite surprised; this was an extraordinary number.

Gongsun Hong is quite the talent!

Of course, if it weren't for his interference, Gongsun Hong could have obtained one or two more Emperor's Mark on the pier. By the time he reached the God Descending Tower, he would probably have three Emperor's Mark, which would be the absolute maximum.

This is only one-third of Lin Xin Tong's!

Lin Xin Tong didn't obtain so many Emperor's Mark by exploiting loopholes; she relied on her genuine strength.

At this moment, the last few people who had crossed the pier also appeared in the square.

Everyone has arrived.

Click click click...

Just then, people heard a sound behind them. They all looked back and saw that the countless piers connecting the God Descending Tower had disappeared into the storm and were nowhere to be seen.

In the blink of an eye, the entire God Descending Tower became an isolated island in the storm.

Next, it will be the second trial.

Those who could stand here at this moment were all outstanding individuals from different factions. They sized each other up, their expressions revealing a hidden fighting spirit. They were all competitors, and after this trial, who knew how many more would be eliminated.

Yi Yun felt many hostile gazes. He pinched the bridge of his nose, thinking that as the saying goes, "when there are too many lice, they don't care about being bitten," and he was too lazy to care anymore.

Lin Xin Tong glanced at Yi Yun, and seeing his reaction, a faint smile appeared on her face, "You're quite the celebrity now."

"I don't want to do it." Yi Yun said helplessly. Ever since the Shepherd Boy invaded the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, he has made more and more enemies.

Just then, a rumbling sound suddenly came from God Descending Tower.

The entire Blackstone Plaza was shaken, and many geniuses' expressions changed.

Boom boom boom!

A towering pillar suddenly rose from the ground of Black Stone Plaza.

The pillar was ancient and exuded a sense of desolation. Everyone who looked closely was astonished; the entire pillar was inlaid with relics.

Judging solely from the powerful energy fluctuations emanating from these relics, it is certain that they are extraordinary.

Yi Yun was secretly astonished. Although these ancient relics were not as valuable as the one he had obtained from the energy beast, they were plentiful. If he could obtain them...

Yi Yun couldn't help but have this thought, but it was just a thought, because the giant pillar was covered with runes and formations, and it was connected to the God Descending Tower. The energy emitted by them resonated with each other, and even if he activated the Purple Crystal, he would find it difficult to steal the energy from the relic.

Suddenly, a beam of light shot out from the giant pillar, forming a portal of light in the Black Stone Plaza.

The portal was about ten zhang tall, and the energy fluctuations within it gave off an inexplicable sense of oppression. No one knew what lay beyond the portal.

After observing for a while, some of the geniuses present stepped into the portal.

They were both highly skilled and daring.

People went in one by one, including Shentu Nantian, Shentu Family followed behind him.

"Let's go in too," Lin Xin Tong suggested.

Behind Lin Xin Tong, the other members of the Lin family were all present. Lin Yu, on the other hand, was quite honest. He knew his own limitations and understood that he had only gotten this far by sheer luck.

Although Shentu Nantian just said that Yi Yun was lucky and managed to perfectly complete the first trial by exploiting a loophole using his Energy Vision, Lin Yu still didn't think he had any right to laugh at Yi Yun.

In terms of actual combat, everyone is about the same, so no one should laugh at anyone else. As for Energy Vision, that's Yi Yun's skill, which he doesn't have yet!

Lin Xin Tong was the first to step into the portal. Her figure flashed, and she flew in like a graceful butterfly.

Just as Yi Yun was about to follow, he suddenly heard laughter. He turned his head slightly and saw that the dark-skinned boy from before had somehow appeared beside him, chuckling foolishly.

The dark-skinned boy had thick lips, and when he smiled at Yi Yun, he revealed two rows of striking white teeth. If it weren't for the fact that he was in the Empress Secret Realm and knew that only the most outstanding people could reach this point, Yi Yun would have even suspected that the guy in front of him was mentally challenged.

"Do I know you?" Yi Yun couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know you... but I find you interesting." The dark-skinned boy still grinned foolishly; this answer clearly did not satisfy Yi Yun.

Since the dark-skinned boy was unwilling to talk, Yi Yun didn't bother to think about it anymore. He took a deep breath and stepped into the portal.

The moment Yi Yun stepped through the portal, he felt something sweep over him, as if his entire body had been scanned.

This feeling is very uncomfortable.

Stepping inside the portal, Yi Yun looked around and found himself alone; everyone who had come in with him had vanished.

A completely independent space!

The ground was empty, an endless expanse of gray, devoid of anything. This grayness seemed boundless, giving one a strange sense of oppression.

Suddenly, Yi Yun heard the sound of surging energy. He immediately reached for his Space Ring, turned around abruptly, and drew his Crimson Blood Red Lotus Saber!

Danger lurks at any moment during the trials in the Empress Secret Realm, and Yi Yun is already on high alert.

Yi Yun saw that behind him, space cracked open, and a handsome man with a ferocious expression walked out of the spatial rift.

Upon seeing the man's appearance, Yi Yun's expression changed.

He was actually... Shentu Nantian!!
