Chapter 174: Hall of the Rebirth
"So that's how it is!"
Seeing this, Yang Ziyuan suddenly understood.
This abyss wasn't formed naturally, but was created by the Scepter of Destruction!
He'd felt that way before because the Scepter of Destruction was right under his feet!
That's why he couldn't find it!
At this thought, Yang Ziyuan couldn't help but smile.
Now that he'd found the Scepter of Destruction, the rest would be much easier!
"Seventh Soul Skill: Black Hole Form!"
With a low cry, a massive black hole suddenly materialized behind Yang Ziyuan.
The black hole radiated a powerful gravitational pull, swallowing everything around it.
The Scepter of Destruction, buried deep within the abyss, was instantly lifted from the earth by the terrifying suction of the black hole and flew straight towards it.
Seeing this, Yang Ziyuan immediately unleashed his soul power, condensing a massive soul hand and attempting to grasp the Scepter of Destruction.
However, the Scepter of Destruction, now tens of thousands of kilometers long and immense in size, was simply beyond his control.
The next second, the Scepter of Destruction broke free from the soul-powered hand and plummeted downward.
"Child, quickly use the affinity within you for the God of Destruction to subdue it!"
Seeing Yang Ziyuan still stunned, Kui Yuan couldn't help but urge him.
"Okay!"
Yang Ziyuan nodded immediately.
Immediately, a suppressed power erupted from Yang Ziyuan.
Feeling this power, the Scepter of Destruction trembled with excitement, as if finding support.
The next second, it flew straight towards Yang Ziyuan.
As it flew, the Scepter's massive form gradually shrank,
eventually transforming into a two-meter-long purple scepter.
Like a flash of lightning, the scepter was purplish-black in color, yet radiating an intense purple light, imbued with a terrifying aura of destruction.
Looking at the Scepter of Destruction in his hands, Yang Ziyuan couldn't help but smile.
It seemed he had earned the Scepter's approval!
As expected, the voice of the God of Destruction echoed in his mind.
"Little fellow, congratulations on completing the seventh of the Nine Trials of Destruction. Rewards: God-level Soul Bone—Skull, one God-given Soul Ring, and a 20% increase in affinity with the God of Destruction!"
"Nine Trials of Destruction, Eighth Trial! Within four years, achieve Peerless Douluo! Rewards: Destruction Domain, one God-given Soul Ring, and a 30% increase in affinity with the God of Destruction!"
Peerless Douluo?
Upon hearing the requirements of the eighth trial, Yang Ziyuan was stunned, a wry smile on his face. "No way, isn't the time for this eighth trial a bit short?"
He knew full well that while he was confident of reaching level 99, cultivating from level 95 to 99 in only four years was simply unrealistic.
Under these circumstances, he would have to advance one level each year to even have a chance of completing this divine trial.
However, he wasn't entirely sure he could do that.
After all, the difficulty of cultivation after level 90 was not just ordinary, but exponentially increased.
To reach level 99 quickly, he would have to obtain a sufficient number of God-given Soul Rings. After all
, his Yimu Azure Dragon Martial Spirit still had four empty Soul Ring slots.
If he could fill all of these slots, perhaps he could leverage the power of the four million-year spirit rings to reach level 99 in one fell swoop.
But the reality was harsh: even if he completed the seventh life test, he would only receive one more divinely bestowed spirit ring.
At this thought, a flicker of worry crossed Yang Ziyuan's face.
"Child, why do you look so sad?"
Kui Yuan frowned, noticing the change in Yang Ziyuan's expression.
To her, receiving the recognition of a super-divine artifact should be a truly joyous occasion.
Furthermore, the fact that he had also completed the divine test was a blessing.
Shouldn't this situation be joyous?
However, Yang Ziyuan's expression didn't seem happy.
"Master Kui, you don't know! My eighth test requires me to cultivate to the level of Peerless Douluo within four years!"
As soon as Yang Ziyuan finished speaking, he saw Kuiyuan burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!!! Kid, I thought you were worried about something else? So it's this~"
"Master Kui, do you have any solutions?"
Seeing her unconcerned expression, Yang Ziyuan hurriedly demanded.
"I do have a solution. But wait until you've digested what you've gained this time!"
Hearing this, Yang Ziyuan raised a brow.
While he didn't know where Kuiyuan's confidence came from, he knew for sure that she wouldn't lie to him.
So, the two returned to the surface.
After absorbing the divinely granted spirit ring and the divine skull, his spirit power level reached level 97.
"Huh~"
Yang Ziyuan slowly exhaled, his eyes gleaming with anticipation as he turned to look at Kuiyuan.
"Master Kui, can you tell me your plan now?"
"Child, follow me! Once we get there, you'll know the answer." Kui Yuan gave him a mysterious smile, then turned and flew towards the sky.
Yang Ziyuan followed without hesitation.
The entire journey was filled with a mixture of excitement and nervousness.
He didn't know what awaited him, but he firmly believed that as long as he followed Kui Yuan, everything would be fine.
After flying for a while, they finally arrived at their destination.
It was a tranquil valley surrounded by lush mountains and clear waters, like a paradise.
Yang Ziyuan looked around curiously, wondering, "What secrets are hidden here?"
"Follow me!"
Hearing this, Yang Ziyuan didn't hesitate and hurried to follow Kui Yuan.
Soon, the two arrived at the gate of an ancient and elegant palace.
A plaque on the palace read "Wangsheng Hall."
Upon entering the palace, they were greeted by a scepter that exuded a rich aura of life!
"This is... the Scepter of Life?!"
Hearing Yang Ziyuan's exclamation, Kui Yuan shook his head and said, "To be precise, this is just a projection of the Scepter of Life!"
A projection?
Hearing this, Yang Ziyuan couldn't help but look at the Scepter embedded in the stone base.
It was made of a rare milky white wood, its surface as smooth as a mirror, reflecting a soft luster.
Atop the scepter was a shimmering crystal ball, within which seemed to flow life, occasionally shimmering with tiny sparks of light.
Beneath the crystal ball, delicate golden lines, like the veins of life, snaked down the scepter to the handle.
However, upon closer inspection, he discovered that the scepter's silhouette seemed illusory, as if it would disappear at any moment.
"So it's just a projection! But, Mr. Kui, you still haven't told me where the Scepter of Life is!"
Hearing this, Kui Yuan smiled and pointed at the projection of the Scepter of Life, saying, "Look, isn't it right there?"
