Chapter 568
The other powerful figures' pupils turned blood red upon witnessing this scene.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's our turn!"
"If we don't kill this monster, the entire shelter will be destroyed by it!"
"Kill it, at all costs!"
As soon as the words were spoken, one Pioneer after another rushed forward.
Upon approaching, it detonated without hesitation.
"Boom! Boom boom boom!!!"
Terrifying energies surged up, like missiles exploding.
Under the attacks of these powerful beings who paid the ultimate price, the monster grew increasingly weak.
But it must be said that this guy, as Great Grandmaster- level creature, has truly tenacious vitality.
Even after enduring so many attacks, even after being weakened to the extreme, it still frantically waved its tentacles, launching attacks on the powerful beings around it.
Just then, a red shadow crept up beside it, and its sharp dragon claws suddenly shot out!
"Pfft!"
With red eyes, Shen Xing used all her strength to suddenly pierce through the monster's body!
He felt as if his palm was enveloped in a clump of slime.
The slime contained a terrifying corrosive power, and the entire hand was rapidly turning black and then purple!
But he did not back down at all. Instead, he frantically mobilized the molten lava power within his body, condensing it in his palm.
A massive lava bomb appeared inside the monster's body.
"Go to hell!"
Shen Xing gave a low shout and detonated the shell completely!
"Boom!!!"
A terrifying burst of flames rose up.
In the violent explosion, the monster's body was blasted into pieces on the spot.
Countless droplets of slime and tentacles splattered, then evaporated by the terrifying heat.
As the red light faded, both the enormous gray mist and the eerie monster vanished.
Only one figure, scarred and with wildly dancing red hair, stood in place.
At this moment, Shen Xing looked at the monster's remains at his feet, and a smile finally appeared on his face.
It wasn't just the joy of revenge, but also the relief of overcoming one's inner fears.
"Damn it... we finally got him..."
He murmured to himself, and suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of clarity in his heart.
It's as if I've broken through some kind of bottleneck, and my mindset has undergone a completely new change.
He felt himself become incredibly peaceful.
Neither the monster's corpse nor the surrounding residents could affect their mood in any way.
It's not about ignoring the common people, but rather a more unique state of being.
It's as if my ability to withstand pressure has been greatly enhanced.
Being able to calmly accept everything that happens before your eyes and make the quickest judgment.
"This feeling... is so amazing..."
Shen Xing muttered to herself.
Before he could fully process it, a sudden, intense feeling of weakness washed over him.
His vision blurred and his body shook violently.
He was seriously injured and his strength was severely depleted in this battle.
Now that I've relaxed, all the injuries and fatigue come rushing back like a tidal wave.
Shen Xing held on for a few seconds, then finally gave way and fell backward.
He vaguely saw the Jiangcheng residents rushing up, their faces filled with intense worry and guilt.
Many people knelt beside him, begging for his forgiveness.
Immediately following, a series of system notification sounds came through.
[Ding! Pioneer, please note that you have successfully passed the SS-level Master Trial: The Path of the King]
[Calculating final rewards based on your trial selections.]
[During this trial, you chose to sacrifice the lives of other soldiers to save yourself and create opportunities to kill the enemy. Chaos Points +20]
[During this trial, despite facing the insults and accusations of the people, you still chose to stand up and save the residents of the entire city. Light Points +30]
[During this trial, you chose to save the old woman despite her angry curses, earning +30 Light Points]
[During this trial, you faced the death of your friend and chose to kill 'Fog Nightmare' at all costs, gaining 30 Chaos Points.]

[Overall Assessment: You are a compassionate yet decisive lord. You will step forward to save lives, but you will also be ruthless when it is time to wield your sword.]
Light and chaos coexist within you, forging a unique path for you to become a powerful being.
[Based on your performance in this trial, you have activated the special talent: Heart of the Benevolent King (S-rank)!]
[Congratulations! You have successfully broken through the limits of life and advanced to Tier Four creature!]
[With this breakthrough, all attributes have increased by 130% (an additional 30% is granted upon completing an SS-rank trial), and the level cap has been raised to 39!]
[Because you have fused with the essence of red, blue, and black dragons, the corresponding Tier Four skills have been automatically activated.]
[Ding! You have further integrated with the essence of the Five Chromatic Dragons, extending your daily Transform duration to 8 hours...]
A series of system notifications left Shen Xing in a state of brief shock.
Then, he could neither see nor hear anything.
Consciousness plunged into darkness, and I felt as if I had fallen into an endless abyss.
I don't know how much time passed.
In the endless darkness, a glimmer of warm orange light appeared.
Then the light rapidly intensified, as if pulling him back from some other world.
When he opened his eyes again, he found himself back in his territory.
The Sacred Flame Platform burned quietly beside them, emanating waves of warmth.
Beside him, familiar figures stood still, staring at him with worried eyes.
"My lord... you... you're back..." Leina said softly, her voice trembling.
Shen Xing could watch their trial scenes, and similarly, they could watch Shen Xing's trial.
Many of the generals present witnessed everything he experienced in the trial space, and their faces showed complex emotions.
They knew that the trials this person had undergone were extraordinary.
If it were any of the players on the field, they wouldn't have the confidence to pass.
"Yes, I'm back."
Shen Xing also recovered from his previous state in the trial space and smiled slightly.
Then he asked, "How long have I been inside?"
"About five hours," Leina replied softly.
Shen Xing was slightly taken aback, but then breathed a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, it was only five hours, not five days.
In other words, he did not miss the matches in the Myriad Worlds Arena.
"Boss, you're amazing! You even passed this insane trial!" Gorehowl shouted excitedly. "If it were me, I probably would have gotten lost in there long ago."
"Yes... this kind of trial is truly unheard of." Old Fordring nodded in agreement. "It truly lives up to its SS-rank reputation; it's definitely not something an ordinary person can pass."
Xiao Hei also uttered in a hoarse voice, "As expected of... our lord..."
The generals all spoke up, their gazes towards the man filled with genuine admiration.
Shen Xing smiled slightly.
As Old Fordring said, this SS-rank trial is very special.
Everything he had experienced before, whether it was the battlefield engulfed in flames or the defeated Blue Star, was part of the trial.
In other words, this trial was actually set up in two scenarios.
In the first scenario, you are given an impossible task, and then you die unexpectedly while trying to complete it.
With the system notification added, anyone would instinctively think that the trial had failed.
Next, I should be transported to the real world.
But no one expected that this so-called 'real world' was actually the real trial scenario.
Moreover, everything inside felt so real and possessed a self-consistent logic that even he was unwittingly drawn into it.
If it weren't for the deaths of Qin Lang and the others, which thoroughly enraged Shen Xing and made him determined to kill the monster at all costs, this trial would probably have failed.
"I've gained some experience."
Shen Xing said with a smile, "This way, everyone will be better prepared if they encounter similar trials in the future."
The generals all nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Shen Xing looked at everything familiar around him and couldn't help but sigh.
That's great... I can still return to my territory, the Blue Star World hasn't been swallowed up, and Qin Lang and the others are still alive.
The experience I had gone through in the trial space was simply too desperate.
Unable to contact the troops in their territory, the Doomsday Descends, and friends and family die one after another before their eyes.
He never wanted to experience that feeling of helplessness and despair again, and he would never let it happen again.
Therefore, in the Myriad Worlds Arena five days later, he will spare no effort to ensure that Blue Star wins!
Shen Xing clenched his fist, secretly making up his mind.
Having already surpassed the Master Realm, he had the confidence to say such things.
