The Soul Hunting Temple Master's eyes were cold. Seeing Yue Chenyu's calm demeanor, the anger in his heart rushed to his head uncontrollably.
He had personally nurtured the Soul Child and Soul Girl, and he had given them a lot of resources.
The Soul Child was a candidate for the next Temple Master, while the Soul Girl existed to help the Soul Child.
They had painstakingly nurtured Yue Chenyu, but she had broken free of their control and turned to their enemy.
Moreover, before Yue Chenyu betrayed them, she had joined forces with Jun Wu Xie to set them up, causing the sect to lose a lot of Half-Saints!
Although they were only Lesser Celestial Half-Saints and would not hurt the vitality of the Soul Hunting Temple, this was a great humiliation to the Soul Hunting Temple.
Since ancient times, only the Soul Hunting Temple had hunted others, causing all the forces in the world to tremble in fear. No one they had targeted could live long in this world.
But in recent years, everything had been overturned. The Soul Child had been killed, and the Soul Girl had betrayed them. She had joined forces with their enemy and killed their Half-Saints, causing the Soul Hunting Temple's reputation to fall.
"Yue Chenyu, since ancient times, you are the first person to dare betray my Soul Hunting Hall. Don't think that you can sit back and relax just because you have a backer now. Those on my Soul Hunting Hall's must-kill list cannot live!" The Soul Hunting Temple Master narrowed his eyes, and his gaze became sinister, "The day of the Soul Hunting Temple's judgment is right before your eyes. You are too naive if you want to break free from the Soul Hunting Temple's control!"
Yue Chenyu was about to respond when Jun Wu Xie pulled her behind him. He took a step forward and looked coldly at the Soul Hunting Temple Master, "Are you threatening my junior sister? Before you say these words, have you ever used your simple brain to consider whether you have the right to do so in front of me? "
"Jun Wu Xie! You are too arrogant! "
The Soul Hunting Temple Master's eyes twitched fiercely. Being questioned in front of all the forces in the world made him furious.
"You seem unconvinced. Do you want to fight me one-on-one or as a group?"
Jun Wu Xie's lips curled into a mocking smile. It was full of provocation, and his attitude was very domineering.
This made the people from the Ancient Gold Mine and the Dragon Lair all look at him in surprise.
A Lesser Demi-Immortal paragon dared to openly challenge the chief of the Soul-Hunting Hall? That was a Paramount Demi-Immortal, backed by the Paragon Sovereign Lord, the most powerful organization in existence outside of the Deadmire.
The facial muscles of the Soul Hunting Temple Master under his black robe twitched.
The members of the various major forces present all revealed strange expressions as they involuntarily recalled the events that had occurred during the Celestial Slaying Dynasty's celebration a few days ago.
One-on-one?
At that time, Jun Wu Xie had also claimed that he wanted to challenge the many Sovereigns to a duel.
However, his so-called one-on-one duel was actually a duel with a terrifying number of extreme celestial beasts.
A group battle?
Most likely, he had brought along a terrifying number of Empyrean Immortals to engage in a group battle.
The Soul Hunting Temple Master and the experts of the Soul Hunting Temple naturally understood what he meant by one-on-one and group battle. They were so angry that their lips trembled, but no words came out.
They weren't afraid of the Celestial Slaying Dynasty, but the current world situation was very delicate. They had to ensure that they had enough Empyrean Immortals. How could they fight to the death with the Celestial Slaying Dynasty at this time?
"You don't dare?" Jun Wu Xie sneered. "If you don't dare, then shut up. Don't be noisy here. Stay here obediently, and have a proper attitude! Do you think the people of my Celestial Slaying Sword Sect and my junior sister are people you can threaten? Why don't you try threatening me again? "
"Hahaha!" The Soul Hunting Temple Master was so angry that he laughed. He stared at Jun Wu Xie and said, "Good, good, good! I want to see how long you can be arrogant for! "
"Shut up!"
Jun Wu Xie roared.
Everyone on the Soul Hunting Temple's side was so angry that they were trembling. They looked as if they couldn't wait to tear him apart.
However, they didn't say anything. Everything turned into a cold snort.
"Hahaha, interesting."
Jin Xuan, the young Paragon from the Ancient Golden Mine, laughed faintly.
He looked at Jun Wu Xie with a slightly different gaze. He wasn't as cold as before.
The other factions watched in silence, including the Sky Pure Sect, the Ancient Phoenix Sect, and the Ancient Golden City.
On the Emperor Star, they were really afraid of that young man now.
"Temple Master, calm down. Why bother with him? Look at how arrogant he is now. Once he reaches the Golden Scale Secret Realm and can't summon those Empyrean Beasts to support him, we'll make sure he dies without a burial place!"
The Soul Hunting Temple's experts secretly communicated with the Soul Hunting Temple Master. Their voices sounded like they were gnashing their teeth. Clearly, they were forcefully suppressing the anger and killing intent in their hearts.
"This is a rare opportunity. You can't miss it. Otherwise, it won't be so easy to kill him when he comes out. As time passes, he'll continue to grow, and it'll be more difficult to kill him! "
The Soul Hunting Temple Master warned coldly. He hated that young man to the core.
"Don't worry, Temple Master. He won't be able to turn the tables this time. Even if he has many trump cards, it'll be difficult for him to survive! Not only is he on our must-kill list, but the Sky Pure Sect, the Ancient Phoenix Sect, and the Ancient Golden City also want to kill him! With so many Sealers inside, even if he has three heads and six arms, he'll still die! "
…
It was very quiet here. Only some young Paragons were sizing up the young Paragons of other factions, as if they were evaluating the strength of their competitors.
In the palace on the mountain peak, the Void Gate connected by the bridge of light gradually stabilized as time passed.
The next morning, the sun rose from the east, dispelling the coldness of the night. Everything came back to life.
The Void Gate stopped changing and completely stabilized.
Dong!
A loud bell rang from the ancient palace, reverberating through the entire plain and constantly reverberating between heaven and earth.
The drawn-out bell seemed to carry the aura of time, as if it had passed through time and space, deeply impacting one's soul.
It seemed to have awakened from time, awakening a long time and space that had been silent in the long river of time.
"The end of another epoch has arrived …" Ye Futian murmured. "A dream of eternity.
A deep and slightly desolate voice rang out in the palace. "It's my duty to add prosperity to the flourishing age and to add hope to the apocalyptic era. I've already fulfilled my duty for several eras. I've seen prosperity come to an end, the rise and fall of civilizations, and the transformation of the world. However, I've never seen hope. I only hope that this era will have a different ending … "
The emotional voice of the administrator of order in the Golden Scales Secret Realm impacted everyone's mind, reverberating in their ears and hearts. They couldn't help but be infected by this desolation, and feelings of sorrow grew in their hearts.
Since ancient times, the entire history that had passed through time was full of desolation. It had endured too many disasters, too much darkness and blood, too much destruction and destruction, and too much sorrow and despair.
What would the ending of this era be?
Would it repeat the mistakes of past eras, where civilizations that had lived for millions of years withered away amidst prosperity?
Or was there hope to break the eternal curse, stand tall in the flood of the apocalyptic era, and protect the flames of civilization?
"This is the most dazzling age, but it might also be the darkest era. The Golden Scales Secret Realm will be opened for the last time. I've already arranged all the tests and used all the resources of the Golden Scales Secret Realm for you to compete for. How much you can gain will depend on your own luck. Now, all those who are participating in the test of the Golden Scales Secret Realm, please step onto the light bridge in front of you and pass through the Void Gate! "
As the voice of the administrator of order in the Golden Scales Secret Realm fell, everyone recovered from their sorrowful mood and immediately stepped onto the light bridge, rushing to the peak of the mountain and toward the Void Gate.
Many young Supreme Martial Artists from various forces were filled with longing and anticipation. Their eyes were blazing, and some were so excited that their bodies trembled slightly.
One by one, the young Supreme Martial Artists from various forces rushed to the peak of the mountain and disappeared through the Void Gate.
"Be careful!"
The Great Elder and the Ninth Elder stepped forward and patted Jun Wu Xie's shoulder. Their expressions were solemn as they reminded him one after another.
Jun Wu Xie nodded and walked to the peak of the mountain with Yue Chenyu, disappearing through the Void Gate.
After a brief moment of darkness, they came to a world with a vast sky.
The air here was especially clear, but there was an ancient aura flowing, as if they were in a time and space before the ancient times.
The sudden change in their perception of time and space made them feel as if they were standing in the river of time and had walked into an era before the ancient times.
This feeling gradually weakened as their bodies adapted to it.
They began to size up the environment here.
This place was located in a mountain range. As far as the eye could see, the mountain range was undulating, and the rivers were like jade ribbons passing through many mountain ranges and the vast land. It was magnificent.
The vegetation in the mountain range was very dense and verdant, full of vitality.
Looking up, the sky was high and blue. Occasionally, a few snow-white clouds could be seen floating, and there were also colorful clouds changing in the wind. It was a magnificent scene of rising clouds and rosy clouds.
"Welcome to the Golden Scales Secret Realm." The administrator of order's deep and bleak voice resounded through the entire world from the peak of the vast sky, "The place you are standing now is your starting point. Next, you will start from the starting point and embark on the test of the Golden Scales Secret Realm."
As soon as the voice fell, Jun Wu Xie and Yue Chenyu saw a long flight of stairs appear in the sky before them.
The stairs were very wide and slightly inclined upward. The angle was not too big.
The stairs continued to extend into the sky. At a certain height, a huge circular platform appeared, and at the end of the platform, there was a transparent light screen. Behind the light screen, more stairs continued to appear, slightly inclined upward and continued to extend, and then there was a circular platform again. The cycle continued.
A flight of stairs and a platform were connected in this way, extending into the sky with no end in sight.
Even though Jun Wu Xie had activated his Primeval True Eyes, he still could not see where the end of the stairs extended to.
As the height of the stairs increased, the area of the platform between the stairs also increased.
"In front of you is the path of your test. Every flight of stairs and platform is an independent test. The first two tests are a test of the strength of your foundation and a test of your temperament. The tests after that are a test of your strength. Every time you successfully pass a test, you will receive a sacred source reward. As the difficulty of the test increases, the sacred source reward will be more generous. The later the test, the richer the reward. There are also mysterious rewards waiting for you. "
"Everyone can pass the previous tests step by step to the end. At that time, you will meet at the end to compete for the ultimate reward of the Golden Scales Secret Realm."
After the administrator of order finished speaking, Jun Wu Xie and Ye Chenyu felt a mysterious force enveloping them.
Then, they were wrapped in this mysterious force and brought to the front of the stairs.
"The test officially begins now! After passing the test, you will be able to break the enchantment of the test in one hit to open the next test. Work hard. "
After the voice of order finished speaking, it went silent.
The world became extremely quiet.
"Let's go!"
Jun Wu Xie did not hesitate and took the lead to climb up the stairs.
The moment his foot landed, a mysterious rune on the stairs lit up.
He felt a force, and his entire body sank down slightly.
This was the gravitational rune.
At the same time, an invisible force rushed toward him like a tidal wave, trying to push him down the stairs.
However, this resistance was too weak for Jun Wu Xie. It was almost negligible.
Yue Chenyu was the same. She walked side by side with him and climbed up the stairs step by step. She was relaxed as if she was taking a stroll.
After all, this was the most basic test.
In less than ten minutes, he and Yue Chenyu reached the first platform.
At this point, the gravitational force and the impact suddenly increased by several times, but it was still difficult to cause them any trouble.
In the center of the platform, there was a fist-sized ball of liquid energy suspended in the air. It flowed with a crystal light and emitted a faint aura of origin.
"Is that the sacred source?"
Jun Wu Xie carefully observed and felt the aura of the sacred source. He found that the trace of origin in the sacred source was very special. Its energy was extremely pure and of a higher quality than he had imagined.
Just by feeling the energy overflowing from the sacred source, he felt comfortable all over!
