As the Universe Turns - Chapter 149

Chapter 149 Final Trial
She quietly arrived behind Xiao Chen. The girl covered her mouth and secretly smiled. Then, she twisted her fingers and formed a seal. With a “whoosh” sound, a small stream of water shot towards Xiao Chen’s back.

This stream of water seemed weak and weak, but its momentum was extremely swift. Xiao Chen frowned and flicked his palm backwards. A cold Qi rushed out from his palm, freezing the stream of water in mid-air and turning it into an icicle. With a “bang”, it shattered into countless pieces and landed on the ground, instantly disappearing without a trace.

“No grievances, no grudges. Why did you ambush me?”

Xiao Chen turned to look at her and said calmly. The girl covered her mouth and laughed, “I was just trying to see how you reacted!”

Seeing that he had finally spoken to her again, the girl walked over lightly and blinked her big eyes at him, “Hey, I know your name. Your name is’ Liao Wuchen ‘, right?” At this point, he rubbed his chin and thought about it carefully, muttering to himself, “But this name is so strange, Liao Wuchen, he’s wearing Wu Chen …”

After saying that, she walked closer and asked curiously, “But, where did you come from?”

Xiao Chen ignored her. After a while, he heard her chatter on the side for a long time and pointed his hand towards the distance.

“Where?”

The girl turned around and looked at the empty space he was pointing at. “Where did you come from? What do you mean …” she asked curiously.

“I mean, there’s an open space there.”

“There’s an open space … You! Humph!”

The young girl furrowed her eyebrows in anger. She looked at him, stomped her foot, and walked towards the open space. When she sat down, she glared at him from afar and did not speak to him anymore.

By nightfall, more than 30 people had come out of the Five Elements Pagoda. Apparently, the other 10 people had failed in their trials and had all been sent out.

The two Trial Peak Elders flew over from a tall building and landed in front of everyone. The red-clothed Elder on the left said, “You have passed the second trial. There is still one final trial tomorrow. After passing the last trial, you can stay.”

After saying that, the two elders stopped talking. With a flick of their sleeves, they turned into two streaks of sword light and left.

The remaining 30 rookies stayed at the Five Elements Pagoda. It was said that there was only one final trial. Everyone’s faces were filled with unusual excitement. They only needed to pass this final trial tomorrow to be able to stay in Celestial Pogoda.

But at the same time, they were also a little worried. In just two trials, half of them were already gone. They didn’t know what awaited them tomorrow.

After a hard night, the next morning, the two trial elders came again. Actually, the third trial was not difficult. It was simple, but it was not simple. It was to successfully resist the three attacks of either of the two elders.

Of course, the two elders had their own considerations. According to the depth of each person’s actions, they would naturally consider it as appropriate.

“Then, who is willing to be the first to undergo the trial?”

Seeing that all the disciples were ready, the two elders arrived in front of them. The crowd whispered for a moment before a young man dressed in white walked out and cupped his hands towards the two elders. “Disciples are willing to accept the trials of the two elders.”

“Mm …”

The red-clothed elder nodded slightly, and with a swipe of his finger, a streak of red sword qi flew over.

This sword qi came so quickly that the white-clothed man didn’t dare to underestimate it. He immediately condensed his palms and formed an ice wall in front of his chest. With a “bang”, the sword qi slashed into the ice wall, causing the ice wall to instantly shatter.

The man’s expression changed slightly. He hastily used his martial arts to resist, but his feet continued to retreat. The red-clothed elder’s eyes narrowed slightly and he pointed again. Suddenly, a violet lightning descended from the sky. Seeing the ferocious lightning, the man didn’t dare to be careless. He hastily circulated his martial arts to prop up a green Genuine energy barrier above his head.

“Boom!”

With a loud explosion, the purple lightning descended. Even the surrounding people felt a deep shock. Before the crowd could react, the red-clothed elder struck the white-clothed man with another palm.

This palm strike was even more powerful, causing a violent wind to blow in the vicinity. The white-clothed man felt suffocated and was instantly covered by this palm wind. He was no longer able to move. In a hurry, he started circulating his family’s Profound Technique. A green light instantly enveloped his entire body, barely able to withstand the red-clothed elder’s palm strike.

The gale gradually subsided. Although it was only three moves, the white-clothed man was already panting like an ox, and his face was covered in sweat. However, in the end, he did not fall, so he was considered to have passed.

“Yes.”

The red-clothed elder nodded slightly and said, “You passed.”

When the white-clothed man heard this, he was overjoyed. He quickly cupped his hands and said, “Thank you, Elder!”

The surrounding people looked at him, feeling both envious and worried. Just now, the elders had attacked so fiercely, could they endure it?

…

Two hours after the trial, five or six people had already failed to withstand the three attacks of the red-clothed elder and had failed to withdraw. The remaining rookies who had yet to undergo the trial began to panic.

When the red-robed elder saw that no one was coming out, he swept his gaze over the remaining dozen people and asked, “Who wants to carry out the trial?”

No one spoke. Everyone looked at each other. At this moment, a voice came from under a tree, “I’ll do it.”

Xiao Chen finally stood up from under the tree. The red-clothed elder looked at him and nodded slightly. At this moment, the purple-clothed elder walked up. Their eyes met. The red-clothed elder retreated backwards. The purple-clothed elder looked at Xiao Chen and said, “You have to catch three of my attacks. However, because your cultivation is better than the others, I will increase the difficulty of three attacks. If you are ready, let me know.”

The rookies all looked at him. At this moment, they were all thinking in their hearts, this person was about the same age as themselves, but why was his cultivation so much deeper? Which clan and sect was he from? Why had he not spoken to anyone all this time?

Xiao Chen walked forward and looked at the purple-clothed elder. He bowed slightly and said, “Elder, please teach me.”

“Mm …”

The purple-clothed elder nodded slightly. Then, he slowly raised his palm. Six strands of sword qi gradually condensed beneath his palm. At this moment, a gale suddenly rose within a few dozen feet of him, causing everyone to tremble. They subconsciously retreated backwards.

Xiao Chen focused his attention and the profound arts in his body gradually began to circulate. A strong wind formed around his body to resist the pressure of the purple-clothed elder’s aura.

The six strands of sword Qi gradually became more and more dazzling. At this moment, everyone felt suffocated. The six strands of sword Qi were already so oppressive. Was anyone really able to withstand it?

“Zheng!”

With a sharp sound, the six strands of golden sword qi immediately whistled out and slashed straight at Xiao Chen. At this moment, everyone present felt a terrifying aura pressing towards them. Even though they had already retreated more than twenty feet, they still felt unable to breathe. How could this be just a slight increase? This was clearly …

Before everyone could think about it, the six dazzling streaks of sword qi had already approached Xiao Chen’s eyes, slashing towards him from all directions.

Xiao Chen flicked his sleeve and instantly condensed six Azure Radiance Immortal Swords. He was unable to use Ling Xianbu to dodge the attack, so he could only forcefully resist the attack of the Purple-clothed Elder with all his strength.

At this moment, when the others saw that he had actually condensed six Immortal Swords in an instant, many people cried out in shock.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!”

A few sharp sounds rang out. The sword qi of both sides trembled violently, and dust scattered everywhere. The twenty plus people in the distance were all pushed back a little. Their gazes were filled with horror. They saw the six Cyan Radiance Immortal Swords condensed by Xiao Chen confronting the six strands of sword qi of Elder Zi Yi. They were actually not willing to let them go!

Everyone was deeply shocked. Just what realm had his cultivation reached? He is about the same age as himself, why is his cultivation so much higher than his own …

Sword Qi surged in mid-air. Elder Zi Yi’s eyes narrowed and his energy increased. The six strands of sword Qi instantly became even more brilliant. Xiao Chen focused slightly and immediately saw that the other party wanted to test out his true strength. However, he was absolutely not allowed to use the techniques in the Book of Heaven right now.

The power of the sword grew more and more ferocious, and a “clang clang clang” sound rang out, causing cracks to appear on the six immortal swords that Xiao Chen had condensed.

More than twenty people held their breaths in the distance. They could clearly see that Elder Zi Yi had increased his cultivation by a bit. Was this really just a trial?

Xiao Chen took a few steps back, thinking that this couldn’t go on. If he didn’t circulate the Heavenly Book Technique, he wouldn’t be able to block the opponent’s sword qi. Thinking of this, his entire body trembled and the six immortal swords he condensed shattered. Then, he leaned back, and Genuine energy’s six sword qi immediately swept over his face.

Many people in the distance were shocked. This move was too dangerous!

Elder Zi Yi nodded slightly, as if he was certain. Then, he raised his palms and an overwhelming amount of palm power whistled out!

This time, the palm power was even more terrifying than the six strands of sword qi, causing the nearby towers to tremble violently.

In an instant, smoke and dust billowed within a radius of a hundred feet. Many people cried out in alarm. This was no longer an ordinary trial!

Seeing that the palm force was ferocious, Xiao Chen fiercely circulated the profound arts in his body. With a flick of his palm, he instantly brought the fallen leaves around him and gathered them into a dragon shadow, displaying the withered wood dragon roar.

“Boom!”

The two palms collided and the ground instantly shattered. Even the clouds around the mountain peak were shattered. If it weren’t for the fact that the trial peak was stabilized by a grand formation, the twenty rookies in the vicinity would have vomited blood and flown backwards.

The red-clothed elder saw that the two of them were unable to face each other. He took a step forward and wanted to say something, but he finally stopped. A moment later, the dragon shadow formed by Xiao Chen’s palm gradually dissipated. The withered leaves fell from the sky and all of them shattered.

Elder Zi Yi slowly retracted his palm and put his hands behind his back. He looked at the young man in front of him and said, “You passed.”

In the end, he was unable to see which sect Xiao Chen’s cultivation technique came from, and everyone in the distance gradually awoke from their dreams. Although the elder had only attacked twice, it was enough. Either of the two attacks just now was not something they could withstand.
