"Where am I?" wondered Xiao Yan after falling through the teleportation array.
"Welcome to the Azure God Flair. One who can trigger the teleportation to this secret plane is the one who will be the heir of the Azure God who had fallen."
"Omg... so this is the Palace of the Azure God." The palace was luxurious.
"I'm the Azure God's loyal servant. As you have been able to enter, this is the rule of the Azure God: The trials can be deadly. There are 100 levels; each level has one trial. You have been chosen as the next, but you need to show your worthiness by passing all 100 trials."
A ring appeared in Xiao Yan's hands. "What is that?"
"This is the Azure Ring. It helps you get into the Azure Lair whenever you want, so..."
"Ok, so I don't have to stay here until I complete all trials? I can just come in and go out?"
"Yes, it's simple."
[MASTER, stay here for a few days to train. The trials are really helpful to you.]
"You sure are smart, System. So let's spend a few days here before going out."
He entered the first trial of the Azure God.
"Gosh, jelly, what is this trial?"
"Welcome to the first trial. You need to go up to the second trial while being able to withstand the pressure of the gods."
"What is that? Sounds easy anyway." He ran towards the steps, thinking it was easy to go up, but it wasn't.
On his first step, the pressure was so hard that even a person in a Divine Realm would not withstand it, but the body of Xiao Yan is not normal. He climbed the first 100 steps effortlessly, but on his 101st, he got kicked off the stairs.
"It looks like a total of 300 to 500 stairs in this trial, but on the first level, it is already that difficult."
[Suggestion: Master, you are still too weak—like a fly. So let's just focus on training so you can fully awaken the Balance Breaker System: Michael Mode.]
"Hell yeah, let's gooo... BTW, what are the advantages if I reach Michael Mode?"
[The spirit, body, and soul become one path tied to each other. It is called the Balance Breaker Path. Each stage and realm is 3 to 10 times stronger than at least that of normal humans.]
"Omg. That's too op."
[I have many modes. The Michael Mode is just the weakest after Seraphin, and the Balance Breaker cultivation path is the path that all Balance Breakers need to take.]
They were already outside of the Azure Palace and they didn't even notice it.
"Well, System, it is time for two weeks of soul building. Let's get started."
Just as last time, the system initiated the Zone Annihilation.
[You will need to complete soul and spirit building together.]
"That is twice as hard, but anyway, I will do it all for a legendary comeback."
[Alright. Answer the system, which says: The only quest is to survive during one month and one week in soul/spirit torture, etc...]
"System, I got it. I can do it."
At the same time, Yan Bingxue at the Heavenly Palace was getting ready to go into seclusion for the time being to breakthrough to the Celestial Realm. One of her subordinates appeared.
"Young Miss, we have found the Young Master. What are your orders?"
"Protect him daily, because I feel like we will meet again soon."
"As you want, Miss."
Bingxue used her icy snow skills and disappeared through the snow. She had already understood the Laws of Nature for snow.
In the meantime, Xiao Yan is working hard to become stronger. He had visited the Underworld of Spirit and the Cage of Souls during his trials, but with his mighty desire, he still didn't give up, whatever the hardship was.
Two months later...
[Host has completed training. Host has awakened Michael Mode and the unique path of Balance Breaking.]
"All my work paid off," says Xiao Yan. His physics changed.
[Upgrading new power data.]
[Master is now on Balance Breaker Path: 6th Stage, 1st Realm (The Mortal Realm).]
"Well, I can rival a Divine Stage fighter."
In the Demon Hall Palace...
"Humans... I will be back for you and eliminate the human race."
