The Trial of the Gate of Time and Space

Just then, a silver-white blade flashed toward him from the flank-the Lord of Silver Blades had made his move!

Immediately afterward, a swarm of insects surged in from another direction, blotting out the sky-the Lord of Mother Emperor had also launched an attack!

The Lord of Sky Wolf's two fifth-order attendants had struck at the same time!

"Your opponent is me."

Chaos City Lord's voice rang in the Lord of Silver Blades' ear. The Thousand Treasure River's brilliant light transformed into a galactic chain, binding the Lord of Silver Blades tight. The power of over a thousand Supreme Treasures erupted at once. The Lord of Silver Blades struggled desperately, but could not break free.

"And me." Lord Peng Gong's purple-gold fist force blasted toward the Lord of Mother Emperor's swarm, blowing a huge gap in the insect cloud that filled the sky.

The Lord of Darkness appeared behind the Demon Race's Fourth-Order Universe Master like a ghost, his pitch-black dagger stabbing silently toward the man's back, directly over his heart.

Lord Huang Jian and the Lord of Ice Peak also struck at the same time, firmly suppressing the Prison Race's Fourth-Order Universe Master.

The battlefield was instantly divided into several areas, and everyone found an opponent.

At the very center of the battlefield, only Qin Yuan and the Lord of Sky Wolf remained, one on one!

"Without your helpers, how much longer can you hold out?" Qin Yuan's voice was cold as iron.

His hands formed seals once more, and his third palm strike, Return to the Ruins: Break, crashed down!

The cracks on the surface of the Sky Wolf Palace widened once more, growing from one to three, then from three to ten!

The Lord of Sky Wolf finally panicked. The Peak Supreme Treasure he had relied on to roam unchallenged through the Universe Ocean was actually so vulnerable before Qin Yuan's Return to the Ruins: Break!

"Wait! We can talk!" the Lord of Sky Wolf shouted. "I can share the inheritance in the Void Hall with you! I can even tell you the Void God King's true secrets-his real identity, the cause of his fall, and the ultimate treasure he left behind! I can tell you all of it! Just spare me!"

Qin Yuan's hand paused slightly.

The Void God King's true secrets?

"Speak," he said coldly.

The Lord of Sky Wolf took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly. "The Void God King wasn't some ordinary God King from ancient times at all. His true identity is-a clone of the God King of Jin!"

Qin Yuan's pupils contracted sharply.

The God King of Jin! That was Sitting Mountain Guest's title on the Origin Continent!

The Void God King was actually a clone of Sitting Mountain Guest?

"After the God King of Jin fell to the combined assault of Shi Kingdom's three God Kings on the Origin Continent, his main consciousness reincarnated and became the present-day Sitting Mountain Guest," the Lord of Sky Wolf said rapidly. "But his God King Level power didn't completely dissipate. Instead, it was divided into two parts-one became the clone known as the Void God King and was sealed on the Primal Star; the other became the Star Tower and ended up adrift in the Universe Ocean!"

"What lies hidden in the Void Hall isn't just the Void God King's inheritance, but also a portion of the God King of Jin's Origin Divine Power! Whoever obtains that Origin Divine Power can inherit a God King Level foundation and break through to the True God realm or even higher with ease!"

Qin Yuan fell silent for a moment.

What the Lord of Sky Wolf had said largely matched his earlier speculation. The Void God King was indeed Sitting Mountain Guest's clone, and what lay hidden in the Void Hall was indeed an opportunity left behind by Sitting Mountain Guest.

"What else?" Qin Yuan asked.

The Lord of Sky Wolf gritted his teeth. "There's also... the Void Hall's ultimate trial. One person can't pass it alone. It takes two! One who cultivates the Time Law and one who cultivates the Space Law. Only by joining forces can they open the God King Origin in the deepest reaches!"

He paused, a sly glint flashing in his eyes. "And as it happens, I cultivate the Space Law, and I've already reached the peak of the mastery level. If we join forces, we can pass the trial! What do you say? We cooperate and split the God King Origin down the middle!"

Qin Yuan looked at the Lord of Sky Wolf and suddenly smiled.

"Cooperate?" He shook his head. "Lord of Sky Wolf, you've forgotten one thing."

"What?"

"Time and space-" Qin Yuan raised both hands at once, the Time Law in his left and the Space Law in his right. The two higher laws blended perfectly within him. "I'm enough on my own."

"Time-Space-Return to the Ruins: End!"

Qin Yuan brought his palms together, and an unprecedented, hazy gray palm imprint took shape. This imprint was no longer a simple palm strike. It contained everything Qin Yuan understood about Time-Space Fusion and was the strongest attack he could currently unleash!

The palm imprint fell.

The Sky Wolf Palace, the Peak Supreme Treasure that had accompanied the Lord of Sky Wolf as he roamed unchallenged through the Universe Ocean for billions of years, shattered beneath that single palm strike!

Countless black fragments flew in every direction, leaving the Lord of Sky Wolf exposed before Qin Yuan, his face full of terror.

"No-!"

Qin Yuan gave him no chance. Divine Power Burning ignited, and golden flames swept forth, completely engulfing the Lord of Sky Wolf's divine body.

The Demon Race's second-strongest expert, a sixth-order peak Universe Master-the Lord of Sky Wolf-had fallen!

[Ding-slain sixth-order peak Universe Master 'Lord of Sky Wolf'!]

[Main quest progress updated: Slay Alien Race Universe Masters 5/3 (target exceeded)]

[Additional rewards: System Points ×10,000, Peak Supreme Treasure Fragments ×3, Ultimate Secret Technique Advancement Card ×1!]

Qin Yuan ignored the system notifications and instead raised his head to look at the towering Void God Hall before him.

The Lord of Sky Wolf was dead, but the gates of the Void Hall remained tightly shut.

He stepped forward and pressed his palm against the cold hall doors.

The law patterns on the doors suddenly lit up, and an ancient, boundless consciousness swept over his body, as though confirming his identity.

A moment later, a deep voice sounded in Qin Yuan's mind:

"Void God King Inheritance · Basic Chapter-confirmed."

"Void God King Inheritance: Advanced Chapter-confirmed."

"First trial-passed."

"Second trial grounds-passed."

"Inheritor, welcome to the Void God Hall. I am the Void God King, a clone of the God King of Jin. I left this inheritance solely to select a true successor to the Path of Time and Space. There are three trials within the hall. Whoever passes them all may obtain my Origin Divine Power and inherit a God King's foundation."

"Now, the first hall trial-the Gate of Time and Space-opens."

Rumble-

The doors, thirty thousand meters tall, slowly swung open to either side, revealing a passage into the hall that stretched into unfathomable depths.

The walls on both sides of the passage were engraved with countless profound runes concerning the Time Law and Space Law. Every rune emitted a faint golden glow, as though telling of the universe's most primordial secrets.

Qin Yuan took a deep breath and glanced back at Chaos City Lord and the others behind him.

Chaos City Lord was suppressing the Lord of Silver Blades, Lord Peng Gong and the Lord of Mother Emperor were locked in a fierce battle, and the Lord of Darkness had already gravely wounded the Demon Race's Fourth-Order Universe Master... The battle was going very well, and he had no need to worry.

"City Lord, I'm going in," Qin Yuan said through voice transmission.

"Go," Chaos City Lord's voice sounded in his ear. "Leave things out here to us. Remember, come back alive."

Qin Yuan nodded, then turned and resolutely stepped through the gates of the Void God Hall.

The moment he entered, the doors slammed shut, completely sealing the inside off from the outside.

The trials of the Void God Hall had officially begun.
