The Trial of the Giant Axe Arena

The headquarters of the Giant Axe Arena.

After traveling through the God Kingdom teleportation and several hours of navigation through the Dark Universe, Wu Yun and his companions finally arrived above this towering continent.

The boundless continent stretched for an unknown number of light-years in length and width, with its thickness also measured in light-years; it was vast and endless, home to a massive number of living beings.

"You must give it your all during the assessment later. Marquis Nanque went to great lengths to secure this spot for you," Ka Wei urged repeatedly. "Remember, do not question the content of the assessment, and do not have any doubts."

Wu Yun nodded, signaling that he understood. He was still deliberating on what level of strength would be reasonable to display.

His comprehension of the laws had not yet reached the fourteenth level of the Heavenly Bridge.

Being able to rival an Army Lord Immortal was only possible due to the combined power of his Golden Core and his strength as a World Lord.

The spaceship soon entered a massive building; the structure was so incredibly tall that even with Wu Yun's vision, he could not see its entirety.

Ka Wei led Wu Yun through several corridors, walking for nearly ten million kilometers before finally arriving outside a circular grand hall.

"I won't go in," Ka Wei said with a smile. "Wu Yun, I still have matters to attend to back at the Giant Axe Arena. I believe you will definitely pass."

Upon entering the hall, there were already over a dozen World Lords standing there, all of them at the peak of the World Lord stage. Seeing Wu Yun, a fourth-stage World Lord, walk in, they all looked at him with curiosity.

"You must be Wu Yun. I've seen your life-and-death battle," a World Lord clad in silver armor walked up. "If you can pass, then everyone here should be able to as well."

"Haha."

Someone laughed out loud. Wu Yun's battle record was nothing special; getting recognized by the origin laws and killing ordinary peak World Lords was something every one of them could do.

Wu Yun did not speak, merely glancing coldly at the Silver-Armored World Lord.

This gaze contained boundless killing intent, as well as the will of a Heavenly Immortal.

"You!" After being looked at by Wu Yun, the Silver-Armored World Lord felt an involuntary surge of fear in his heart. He prided himself on having experienced countless life-and-death trials and having a heart as firm as rock, yet he had actually felt such an emotion in front of a mere fourth-stage World Lord.

Wu Yun walked to the end of the hall and sat down, resting his chin on his hands as he quietly watched the vast sea of stars outside the glass.

"Yan Qie, he looks down on you," someone else said, enjoying the spectacle and trying to provoke the Silver-Armored World Lord into causing trouble for Wu Yun.

But Yan Qie was no fool. This was the assessment area of the Giant Axe Arena; mocking him with a few words was one thing, but if he actually dared to make a move, an Immortal would likely rush in immediately and throw him out.

After waiting for several hours like this, three more World Lords arrived one after another, bringing the total to twenty.

"My name is King Pujin," an old man with green hair and a single horn on his forehead walked in, his voice extremely raspy. "I am the examiner in charge of your assessment. Now, all of you will enter the assessment area. If you are eliminated, you are out. Only the last two survivors will pass."

Wu Yun had some impression of this King Pujin in his mind.

After becoming a Heavenly Immortal, his memory had become super-powered. He could recall everything in his life in its entirety, including every word from the original story.

When King Yanzhu went to Earth, he brought several King-Level Immortals with him, and this King Pujin was among them. His methods were despicable; he even went as far as to directly expose Luo Feng as a bargaining chip for King Bloodthirsty.

A dignified King-Level Immortal, using a Domain Lord as leverage.

He had absolutely no demeanor of a powerhouse, and Wu Yun felt extreme contempt for such a person.

"This assessment is actually this strict."

"Only the last two survive? I thought the Giant Axe Arena would take in four or five people."

The faces of those World Lords changed slightly.

The regular recruitment channels for the Giant Axe Arena were through the Genius Battle and the Warrior Battle, while the people absorbed through other channels were usually King-Level Immortals.

How many they recruited and how they did it depended entirely on the mood of this King-Level Immortal.

Wu Yun's expression remained calm as he was the first to walk toward the assessment area. He thought to himself that he would probably have to reveal more of his strength, otherwise, it would be very difficult to pass.

Coming here, no one cared about your level; the surface level was just a facade. There were plenty of cases where Domain Lords killed World Lords, let alone a clash between those of the same rank.

But to those peak World Lords, Wu Yun, a fourth-stage World Lord, was a soft target.

It would be a good thing to eliminate him first.

Crossing a corridor thirty thousand kilometers long, the twenty World Lords arrived at the legendary assessment area: a martial arts arena spanning tens of thousands of kilometers!

"The pressure is so strong." Wu Yun felt it the moment he entered. He didn't know what means were used to create this place, but the gravity was even higher than that of a white dwarf star.

An ordinary World Lord's movement speed here would likely be around fifteen hundred kilometers per second.

If Wu Yun exerted his full power, he should be able to reach five thousand kilometers per second.

"Such strong gravity; there's no way to escape like this. I'm afraid the outcome will be decided within half an hour of starting."

"The Giant Axe Arena's assessment is truly ridiculously difficult."

The faces of the World Lords were solemn after entering. After all, those who could come here for an assessment still had a gap in strength compared to the core members who were World Lords.

They were brought here because it was felt that those who had reached this level of strength through unconventional paths might undergo a qualitative change after systematic training.

King Pujin said coldly, "You call this difficult? If you were sent to fight in the Trial Tower, you would likely be wiped out entirely. In the Trial Tower, everyone's physical fitness is exactly the same; here, it's actually an advantage for you peak World Lords."

Having said that, King Pujin's gaze landed on Wu Yun.

"Go on up," King Pujin said. "If you can't hold on, run outside the arena. There is no rescue inside the field. You are only eliminated if you leave the arena or die."

A few World Lords had thoughts of backing out, but once they thought about how hard it was to get here, they gritted their teeth and did not retreat.

In truth, whether they survived depended entirely on King Pujin's mood. He could easily give those World Lords a chance to give up, and after they gave up, he could personally step in to save them.

The twenty World Lords entered the arena one after another, scattering into various corners. Once King Pujin gave the order, the melee would begin, and it would only end when the last two remained.

"The assessment, begin!"

The moment the voice fell, that group of World Lords did not act rashly, but instead constantly shifted their positions, searching for suitable opponents.

But as soon as someone made the first move, the battle would be ignited in an instant.

"Kill!"

However, what surprised King Pujin was that the first person to act was actually Wu Yun.

He held a black-gold long staff in his hand, his entire body radiating a primordial aura, as he charged straight toward Yan Qie, the Silver-Armored World Lord who had provoked him earlier.

Whoosh!

In one second, he streaked across three thousand kilometers.

"Such fast speed." King Pujin exclaimed: "To be able to reach three thousand kilometers so quickly here, it rivals the burst speed of quite a few Immortal Gods."

Although the martial arena was vast, it only had a diameter of several tens of thousands of kilometers, and with a full twenty World Lords present, Yan Qie's first reaction was to flee, but after looking around, he discovered there was nowhere to escape.

Therefore, he had to meet him head-on and fight a battle to the death with Wu Yun.
