The Opening!
Since Jiang Yao displayed Space Secret Technique that seemed even more powerful than the <Ten Thousand Line Flow> during that ambush, the encirclement and suppression of him by a group of cosmic-level geniuses came to an end.
Its flight speed surpasses the limits of ordinary realm lords, coupled with the ability to unleash Space Secret Technique can create hundreds of Phantom Body, and what appears to be Soul Defense Secret Technique or soul defense treasure.
With all three combined, Jiang Yao, while still far inferior to the powerful beings in the God Kingdom in terms of threat and strength, is difficult enough to deter any cosmic-level powerhouse from hunting him.
It would be better to use that time and energy to deal with those powerful beings who possess the Kui Dragon Jade.
Gradually, Jiang Yao's reputation was no longer limited to a small group of universe-level powerhouses in the Three Great Secret Realms. Including universe-level and even more star-level geniuses from other forces, they gradually learned that there was a truly miraculous existence among the trial participants of the God Kingdom Trial.
He is at the stellar level, yet possesses unparalleled speed, leaving all cosmic-level geniuses helpless. He is also collecting Kui Dragon Jade just like the cosmic-level geniuses, and seems to want to enter the Higher Inheritance Tower to snatch food from the jaws of a group of cosmic-level powerhouses.
Since the cosmic-level trial participants didn't hunt him down, Jiang Yao didn't intend to provoke them either. The main reason he was able to escape last time was that there weren't many cosmic-level trial participants who were dealing with him, and none of them had achieved a high level of mastery in the laws of space.
If they were pushed too far, and three or four of them came, or if an even stronger cosmic-level genius was brought out, Jiang Yao wasn't confident he could escape unscathed.
The strongest cosmic-level trial participants in the Three Great Secret Realms are expected to rank among the top 1,000 in the 1008 Universe Country, enter the Core Layer of the two super powers, and even be able to contend with weaker Domain Lord.
Rumble...
A horde of incredibly Jueting Thunder Rhino formed a beast tide, their massive iron hooves pounding the earth.
The overwhelming tide of beasts swept through the canyon like a torrent, making the numerous stellar-level creatures hiding on the cliffs on both sides of the canyon envious but daring not to make any move.
But suddenly a figure, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound and a visible high-pressure shockwave, rushed towards the beast horde.
A figure with a face covered in silver scales, wielding a giant cleaver, exuded a chilling aura and possessed a power that seemed to condense space itself. He precisely severed rhinoceros horns one by one amidst the beast horde, and then nimbly dodged the group attacks of the thunder rhinoceros herd, like a peerless warrior dancing on the tip of a blade.
"Who is that? They're incredibly bold!"
"That's called being highly skilled and daring. You didn't see him on Lingcang Planet?"
"Is that Moyilin, the so-called number one genius at the Stellar level from the Youyuan Secret Realm?"
"Of course it's true! I don't think this is just a claim, it's the truth. Didn't you see that even Immortal God on Lingcang Planet exchanged a few words with Moyilin? Cutting off rhinoceros horns in a beast tide is as easy as taking candy from a baby. Even a cosmic-level being couldn't do that..."
"Haven't he already entered two Inheritance Tower? Why is he still collecting Thunder Rhino Gold?"
"They want to visit all 12 Primary Inheritance Tower, what can you do about it? There's no rule against it."
"Tch, the number one genius at the Stellar level? What about that monster named Yao? Moyilin is only good at bullying us. If he's so capable, why doesn't he try to compete with the Cosmic-level Trialists for the Kui Dragon Jade? What's the point of just staring at the Primary Inheritance Tower?"
The discussion fell silent for a moment after these words were spoken.
"... That's not entirely true. That monster that appeared out of nowhere is only fast. In Genius Tournament, speed alone isn't enough; it has to be real combat. I think that Yao probably possesses some rare treasure that allows him to fly so fast..."
"I can't stand this Moyilin. He's insatiable. I haven't even been inside the Inheritance Tower once, and he wants to take all the treasures from the 12 Inheritance Tower. Are we, the Stellar-level beings from all over the world, just here to play along with him?"
As they spoke, Moyilin, whose face was covered in silver scales, had already left the canyon and returned to the mountain peak on one side. Listening to the discussions of the many star-level trial participants around him, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Seeing the main character return from the canyon, the other stellar-level trial participants fell silent for a moment.
Just then, another extremely angry roar rang out not far from the canyon.
The thunder rhinoceros herd in the canyon seemed to be stimulated again by the roar, and they moved even faster, as if trying to escape something terrifying.
A loud roar had previously rang out, causing the Thunder Rhinoceros herd living on the nearby plains to suddenly panic and flee, which led to the beast tide in the canyon.
"What's going on now?"
"It's probably because those powerful ferocious beasts are fighting amongst themselves that they've disturbed the Thunder Rhinoceros herd like this..."
Then, accompanied by increasingly loud roars, a gigantic beast with three snake heads and three pairs of wings on its back rapidly approached the canyon, accompanied by a storm of lightning.
Before the enormous beast was an inconspicuous figure, relentlessly pursued by the giant creature.
"I'm telling you, you can't catch me anyway, so why are you so persistent? It's just seven Kui Dragon Jade, why are you so angry? How about I return all seven Kui Dragon Jade to you when I get out of the Trial Tower?"
A clear voice answered the beast's roar.
Although there was a sense of helplessness in his voice, there was no panic or fear.
Suddenly, it seemed that a large group of trainees, terrified by the lightning storm carried by the giant beast, could be seen fleeing in all directions on both sides of the canyon. The figure suddenly accelerated and turned, changing direction and leading the pursuing giant beast away from the canyon, quickly moving away.
The still-shaken stellar-level trial participants exchanged bewildered glances.
"... This is that monster?"
"I think so. His appearance is exactly the same as described in the message."
"Good heavens, so you're saying that it was him who stole seven Kui Dragon Jade from that giant beast that triggered this beast tide?"
"Tsk tsk, this really is a... monster."
To escape the lightning storm brought by the behemoth, Moyilin, who had already taken cover in mid-air, felt no joy at having narrowly escaped death. Instead, his face darkened as he muttered a name under his breath, "Jiang Yao..."
After Jiang Yao's fame spread widely, Moyilin, who already regarded him as a future rival in the Genius Tournament, found out Jiang Yao's real name and background from his teacher.
Another star-level being, whose face was also covered in silver scales, approached Moyilin and comforted the most outstanding genius in the clan's history, "That Jiang Yao most likely possesses Supreme Treasure that grants him flight or spatial laws. In the Genius Tournament, these treasures are unusable, and he will definitely be reduced to his original form."
Moreover, he might not even be able to participate in the Genius Tournament. Collecting the Kui Dragon Jade is fine; it's a valuable treasure in itself. But if he were to overestimate himself and try to enter the Higher Inheritance Tower, well, that would be a dead end. The Inheritance Tower doesn't have enough space for him to use his flight speed..."
Jiang Yao paid no attention to the stellar-level trial participants he had just seen on both sides of the canyon, nor did he take the ferocious beast that had been chasing him seriously.
"I've only collected 15. My combat power is no match for those top-tier cosmic geniuses. If I encounter a powerful beast that swallows the Kui Dragon Jade or carries it with it, I'll be completely helpless."
Even if my speed is unmatched, my speed in collecting Kui Dragon Jade might not be able to match that of the most outstanding cosmic-level geniuses...
Despite his anxiety, Jiang Yao suppressed his worries and carefully searched for traces of the powerful life form, sensing the aura of the Kui Dragon Jade.
As time went by, this collection process continued for three years.
"89 pieces!"
Jiang Yao held a Kui Dragon Jade in his hand, his heart filled with excitement, "Almost there, only 11 left..."
The duration of this God Kingdom Trial was completely beyond Jiang Yao's expectations. He had previously researched some information about the God Kingdom Trial, and although he could not obtain much information due to his limited authority, a trial lasting more than three years was rare among the previous Divine God Kingdom Trial of the Three Great Secret Realms.
Of course, this only applies to cosmic-level trial participants. Stellar-level trial participants had already explored and looted all 12 primary Inheritance Tower, and the vast majority of them had left, with only a few remaining in the God Kingdom.
After all, although the God Kingdom is dangerous, it is also rich in various treasures, including weaker ferocious beasts and the fruits of some plant life.
A sudden roar made Jiang Yao look up abruptly, gazing at the towering black tower that stood in the center of the God Kingdom in the distance.
This roar was not a real sound, but a tremendous noise transmitted to the soul of every living being through some mysterious Origin Law.
This means that someone has collected 100 Kui Dragon Jade and entered the Higher Inheritance Tower!
"Damn it, I'm still too slow!"
Although this was within Jiang Yao's expectations, he still couldn't help feeling frustrated.
While his flight speed was unmatched by even the most advanced cosmic-level trial participants, it was also no match for the top cosmic-level geniuses.
Once those cosmic-level geniuses get their hands on the Red-Pattern Crystal Armor first, he won't be able to get it back.
"Hopefully, there will be some challenges and trials Inheritance Tower that can buy us some time..."
Jiang Yao shifted his gaze from the towering black tower to a distant plateau covered by a dark forest.
There was a group of extremely powerful ferocious beasts there, and the aura of the Kui Dragon Jade was also very strong.
However, Jiang Yao had not dared to provoke them before for safety reasons, after all, no matter how fast you are, it is still dangerous to face a group of powerful ferocious beasts.
But now he had no other choice. Without further hesitation, Jiang Yao activated his maximum speed and flew towards the distant plateau.
"Call..."
Jiang Yao sat cross-legged on a rock, opened his eyes, and exhaled.
Using his telekinesis to sense the various organs inside his body, he found that the injuries had mostly healed.
In that highland forest, he indeed encountered the greatest crisis since entering the God Kingdom. If it weren't for the Thunder Scale Armor bestowed upon him by Kasolo, which weakened most of the impact, he would be dead by now...
It's not quite right to say he died; he would definitely release Bizhang's will before he died, so there's at least a glimmer of hope.
Even with the protection of the Thunder Scale Armor, he was still seriously injured.
However, after playing hide-and-seek with Bizhang's will once again, his internal injuries had basically healed.
This was the first time Jiang Yao had experienced Bizhang's will raging within him.
"This will of the Desolate God can not only evolve the body, but also heal injuries. It's truly an indispensable and unparalleled secret technique for both home and travel."
Jiang Yao gave a cursory praise of the <Nine Transformations of the Desolate God> before hastily transforming into Flowing Light and heading towards the Inheritance Tower.
By the time he painstakingly obtained the last 11 Kui Dragon Jade and began healing, the Inheritance Tower had already been opened more than a dozen times, meaning that more than a dozen cosmic-level trial participants had entered the giant tower.
The Purple-Clad Woman, sitting cross-legged amidst the Spatial Turbulence above the God Kingdom, frowned. "Sigh, that little fellow still entered the Inheritance Tower... His teacher, Marquis Huanqiong, is a powerful figure who rose to prominence in the Outer-Region Battlefield. Didn't he give him any instructions?"
The silver-haired Lingcang Marquis opposite him snorted and said, "Blinded by greed and lacking self-awareness, even if he didn't perish here, he would have died on the path to immortality later. There's nothing to regret."
