CHAPTER 565: CHAPTER 540: CHALLENGE THE GOLDEN DRAGON!

After the Dark Night Saint Venerable’s challenge failed, for nearly a hundred thousand years, there were very few Saint Venerable Ancestors who went to participate in the trial challenge.

This trial is too difficult.

Although the Dark Night Saint Venerable cultivated all three major forces to the peak of the Saint Venerable Realm, he still ended up in failure.

Is there anyone who can pass this test?

All along, people have believed that whoever could cultivate "The Conquest" to the sixth level would be able to pass this trial and obtain the Great Emperor’s Treasure.

The Dark Night Saint Venerable achieved it. The sixth level of "The Conquest," the Grinding Plate Great Space-Time, was perfectly presented before everyone.

But the result was almost despairing.

During this period, Wang Xu challenged it several times, each time stopping at the Silver Dragon Battle Circle, continuously killing silver dragons to acquire the soul power, power of laws, and sacred qi he needed to enhance his strength.

Wang Xu was accumulating, creating opportunities for himself.

For him, the sixth level of "The Conquest" was merely a matter of time. He just needed to devour enough silver dragons to obtain the soul power capable of comprehending the sixth level, and he could attempt to challenge the golden dragons!

A hundred thousand years passed.

The Dark Night Saint Venerable still sat cross-legged in place.

He was contemplating what exactly had caused his failure.

In search of answers, the Dark Night Saint Venerable attempted the trial challenge several times, each time failing at the point of exhibiting the Grinding Plate Great Space-Time. Either the golden dragon’s soul would collapse to death, or the soul would not submit, leading to a failed enslavement, and the Dark Night Saint Venerable could never take that one step.

He pondered, thinking about the factors behind the failure.

"Lan Ji, I want to challenge."

While the Dark Night Saint Venerable was contemplating, Wang Xu had already approached the Dragon Circle, shouting out loud.

Many Saint Venerable Ancestors paid him no attention.

They fully understood by now that Wang Xu challenged only to devour and absorb to enhance his strength, so no one bothered to pay attention to him anymore.

"Only one step away from the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm."

Lan Ji’s figure appeared, watching as ten white dragons roared and charged towards him, Wang Xu’s gaze was firm.

Reaching the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm, his strength would rise by several levels once again!

Cultivating all three major forces would greatly benefit him.

By then, he will have the qualification to step into the Golden Dragon Battle Circle and match against the golden dragons at the Ancestor Realm!

"Come on!"

Wang Xu crushed his way through, reaching the Silver Dragon’s Dragon Circle in a brief moment.

"You Ji, prepare to enjoy a feast!" Wang Xu cracked a resolute smile.

"Heh heh, I’ve already been ready for a long time." You Ji licked his lips.

Although after devouring for tens of thousands of years, even the best delicacy would grow tiresome, this was a feast of souls, no matter how many, to You Ji it was all delicious, like never-tiring Immortal Jade Dew.

"Seal!"

A massive golden palm thundered out, emanating an ancient desolate aura.

Boom!

The sky shook, the void trembled, and ten silver dragons were instantly shattered, their life force completely dissipated.

Today’s Wang Xu was a different person.

From initially struggling to kill a single silver dragon using the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection, to now easily and effortlessly slaying ten silver dragons, Wang Xu’s progress was evident.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~

You Ji voraciously devoured the silver dragons, vast amounts of sacred qi, power of laws, and soul power all flooded into Wang Xu’s body.

That’s it!

As the myriad forces entered Wang Xu’s body, aside from some used for replenishment, the rest were all used by Wang Xu to enhance his strength.

Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years, ten thousand years...

Wang Xu, tireless, slaughtered the silver dragons like a machine.

Many Saint Venerable Ancestors no longer had the interest to pay attention to Wang Xu. Every day repeated with nothing new, so Wang Xu just killed and absorbed in solitude in the Dragon Circle.

Approximately thirty thousand years passed.

Boom~~~

Suddenly, a vast and majestic aura surged out from Wang Xu’s body.

"Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm, achieved!"

After thirty thousand years of continuous accumulation and sedimentation, although the progress of his physical body was slow, the erosion of time could not be withstood, causing Wang Xu’s physical body to break through to become an Extreme Dao Ancestor and further expand his inner cosmos to a distance of a hundred thousand light-years, successfully entering the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm.

"The physical body has reached the Extreme Dao Ancestor Realm, and the realm power has reached the limit of the Saint Venerable Realm. Perhaps I can try challenging the Golden Dragon Battle Circle!" Wang Xu mused privately.

Previously, he did not dare challenge the golden dragons because if he entered the battle circle, he would face simultaneous attacks from ten golden dragons at the Ancestor Realm. If his body couldn’t withstand such formidable attacks, it would instantly collapse!

Now, Wang Xu possessed an Ancestor Realm physical body. Although ten golden dragons were still hard to deal with, the chances of survival had greatly increased.

No matter the trial, at least one’s life must be secured!

"You Ji, are you tired of the silver dragon’s taste? Let’s have a go at the golden dragons!" Wang Xu cheerfully stated.

"Oh? Going to challenge the golden dragons? Then let’s proceed! The golden dragon’s soul, what kind of delicacy will it be? I’m truly looking forward to it!" You Ji salivated in anticipation.

Immediately, Wang Xu ceased his actions.

Two fingers came together, reaching out to point in the void.

"Myriad Lights."

Myriad dark rays burst out from Wang Xu’s fingers, pouring onto the bodies of the ten silver dragons like a torrential rain.

The silver dragons let out howls and roars, a flash of agony in their fierce eyes, with all murderous intent instantly dissipating.

"Master."

"Master."

The ten silver dragons were effortlessly tamed by Wang Xu.

"Ten golden dragons, huh? I’m going to see just how powerful you really are!"

Wang Xu’s eyes were filled with boiling battle intent as he took a step forward, crossing the void to arrive before the Golden Dragon’s Dragon Circle.

Roar!

Roar!

The intimidating dragon’s roar, along with the terrifying aura of the Ancestor Realm, spread forth.

Wang Xu remained unfazed.

With a flick of its tail, ten Golden Dragons, with incredible speed, lunged at Wang Xu, intending to tear him to pieces on the spot with their tails, claws, and mouths!

"Come on!"

Wang Xu’s battle fervor ignited, and a sky full of golden light abruptly blossomed.

"God-Suppressing!"

The strongest God-Suppressing Palm was launched with a bang. Wang Xu didn’t use the Heaven-Shocking Secret Collection; he wanted to see the extent of his full-force attack.

All the power was concentrated in this palm strike. Wang Xu did not choose to attack them all but singled out one Golden Dragon closest and most ferocious to him.

Bang!

The body of that Golden Dragon was twisted by Wang Xu’s palm strike, plummeting down, its life force suddenly weakened by more than half.

"It worked!" A gleam flashed in Wang Xu’s eyes.

It seemed that all of his years of devouring had paid off. With a body at the Extreme Dao Ancestor Realm, combined with the terrifying Power of Laws and Realm Power, a full-force strike severely injured this Golden Dragon!

"Given the current situation, it would take five palm strikes to completely kill this Golden Dragon!" Golden Dragons belonged to the Ancestor Realm, unlike the Saint Venerable Realm, which was easier to kill; although one strike could heavily injure it, killing it completely still required four more full-force palms.

Delivering five full-power palm strikes is very difficult for an ordinary Saint Venerable Ancestor.

But for Wang Xu, it’s as simple as can be.

Wang Xu had already anticipated the massive consumption needed to deal with a Golden Dragon, so he had long instructed You Ji to store most of the devoured Sacred Qi and Power of Laws.

"I will undoubtedly kill this Golden Dragon, but for now, I must withstand the group attack of the other nine Golden Dragons first."

The wild attack of nine Golden Dragons was not something Wang Xu dared to underestimate.

These were all beings of the Ancestor Realm after all, and if he were careless, it would definitely lead to Wang Xu’s doom.

"Here they come!" Wang Xu’s gaze focused sharply.

Bang! Bang! Bang! ...

Wang Xu withstood the attacks of the nine Golden Dragons; each strike landing on him forced him to uncontrollably fly backward.

"Nine Golden Dragons are indeed quite troublesome." The attack from the nine Golden Dragons made it impossible for Wang Xu to dodge. Having to endure all of them forcefully, his blood and energy surged within, nearly causing him to spit out blood.

Fortunately, Wang Xu had prepared sufficiently in advance, and the rush of Sacred Qi quickly healed his injuries.

"It’s now or never!"

As the nine Golden Dragons surrounded him in attack, Wang Xu seized a fleeting opportunity to launch another full-force palm strike.

"God-Suppressing!"

The terrifying power poured out, and the life force of the already severely wounded Golden Dragon plummeted again, now completely losing its combat capability.

However, the Ancestor Realm’s terrifying life force meant it did not die and was continually healing and recovering.

After the second strike, Wang Xu found himself again amidst the attacks of the nine Golden Dragons.

"Haha... Come on! This is the battle I yearn for!"

Wang Xu’s battle intent surged as he defended against the nine Golden Dragons’ attacks, while counterattacking with his own power.

At this moment, he was fully focused, unable to allow any distraction.

A slight lapse, and he’d have no choice but to cry out in defeat.

In this battle, Wang Xu’s strength also incrementally improved.

...

"Hmm? That kid went to challenge the Golden Dragon?"

"The Golden Dragon has already completely gained the upper hand. It won’t be long before he falters and gives up."

"Even if he’s promoted to the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm, what of it? Does he think he’s the Dark Night Saint Venerable, dreaming of passing this trial?"

"This person has a Chaos Devouring Fire. Maybe he really could compete with the Dark Night Saint Venerable."

"Compete with the Dark Night Saint Venerable? Ridiculous! The Dark Night Saint Venerable cultivates the Three Forces, and even with ’Zheng’ reaching the Sixth Level, he still fails continually. With his ability, even given ten thousand Law Eras, he shouldn’t hope to pass this trial!"

The Saint Venerable Ancestors scoffed at Wang Xu.

They were envious of Wang Xu’s Chaos Devouring Fire, but could only watch, unable to obtain it, making them jealous, not wanting to see Wang Xu grow strong.

Yet the more they underestimated Wang Xu, the more his strength increased bit by bit.

Until one day, when they realized that Wang Xu’s strength had completely surpassed theirs, it was too late.

...

"Three palms!"

"Four palms!"

"Ha...ha...ha..."

Wang Xu was panting heavily.

Bean-sized drops of sweat trickled from his forehead, evaporated instantly by the Sacred Qi.

Amid the siege of nine Golden Dragons, he had already landed four palms on the severely injured Golden Dragon. It proved his judgment correct; the Golden Dragon’s life force was now as weak as a thread, on the brink of death.

"Only one more palm to go!" Wang Xu’s gaze flitted around as he resisted the nine Golden Dragons, searching for the opportune moment to strike.

Soon...

"The chance is here!"

Swept by a Golden Dragon’s tail, Wang Xu spewed a mouthful of fresh blood, his face turning deathly pale.

Yet there wasn’t a trace of despair on his face, instead, a look of joy appeared.

"The last palm, the opportunity is now!" (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to cast recommendation votes and monthly votes on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
