"Smack-!"
The instant the gemstone sank into her brow, Zhao Linchuan withdrew the sword fingers of his right hand.
Immediately afterward, under Zhao Linchuan's control, azure-gold divine light surged from the Golden Gemstone like an ocean tide!
The light swept over Zhao Linchuan, Bibi Dong, and Qian Renxue like a flood bursting through a dam.
So intense it seemed almost solid, the radiance turned the entire meditation chamber into a flowing sea of azure and gold!
"Aaargh-!!"
Within the azure-gold divine light, an inhuman scream erupted from inside Bibi Dong.
Then a Dark Purple Phantom struggled and writhed as she emerged from Bibi Dong's body.
The phantom had a vague humanoid outline, with dark purple divine light coiling around her. Her facial features were indistinct; only a pair of eyes burning with ghostly flames could be made out.
She wanted to flee, but the azure-gold divine light pouring from the Golden Gemstone pinned her in place like a scorching sun, burning and devouring her inch by inch!
"Lowly mortals..." An extremely hoarse female voice came from the phantom's mouth. "You dare plot against a god who stands far above you...!"
Her form shrank, but her words grew increasingly vicious:
"Since I cannot have this perfect successor, I will destroy her with my own hands!"
"Accept my gift. You will like it...!"
As her words fell, the Dark Purple Phantom burned away completely, dissolving into a wisp of black smoke amid the azure-gold radiance.
Silence returned to the meditation chamber.
But just then, an emotionless voice abruptly rang out within it:
``` [Rakshasa God divine trial: Eighth Trial requirements changed.]
[Make love with Zhao Linchuan in Qian Renxue's presence for thirty days.]
[Time limit: thirty days and fifteen minutes.]
[Failure to complete the divine trial will be deemed a failed assessment.
