Chapter 615: Chapter 323 Trial, Cruelty_2
Giving a brief glance at each other, Lu Yun continued to walk through the square.
This square spans hundreds of square miles, filled with numerous Heavenly Prides assembled here, communicating and exchanging ideas.
Meanwhile, quite a few people were speculating privately about who was from which realm, how incredible they were, and what kind of achievements they could possibly attain.
However, after half a walk around, those who were speculated to rank among the top ten by the various Heavenly Prides numbered up to fifteen.
This was normal, with so many Heavenly Prides who had not really competed with each other, hence unable to completely grasp each other’s power, they could only make a rough estimate.
What surprised Lu Yun was that Yuan Yao and Wuchen were not among those being discussed.
“Junior Sister Yuan Yao and Junior Brother Wuchen seldom show themselves, moreover, they have not battled with others, their real strength is unknown to outsiders,” explained Gongsun Zhonghong.
“So in other words, those who contend for the top ten are all known, but in the shadows, there are many hidden strong contenders,” said Lu Yun softly, his fighting spirit burning within.
Although he was not strong enough to challenge the top ten yet, the thought of competing with so many Heavenly Prides sent his blood boiling.
In the beginning, his nature was relatively moderate, and he was not prone to conflicts.
But after practicing Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Strength and Great Sun Undying Golden Body, his character gradually began to change.
“Hmm?” At this moment, Lu Yun’s eyebrows furrowed.
Silence!
The entire square fell quiet.
Hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Prides from various realms almost all turned their heads to look at the same direction. Lu Yun also turned his gaze in that direction.
He saw a young man in white walking out of a separate courtyard. He had a slender figure and handsome features, yet his face showed no emotion, resembling an icy cavern. Everywhere he went was invaded by an extreme chill.
This coldness was not emanating from his cultivation approach or body, but was a temperament he possessed since birth.
There was a red long saber on his back. As he walked through the square, his icy eyes scanned over all the Heavenly Prides on the square, yet never revealed any fluctuation, as if he didn’t regard anyone as worthy competition.
“The Saber Demon.”
“The Saber Demon, Zhang Henshui.”
“Saber Demon Zhang Henshui, he’s unquestionably number one among all the Heavenly Prides.”
Finally, the crowd burst into intense discussion. Their gazes were attracted by the suddenly appearing Saber Demon Zhang Henshui.
The beautiful purple clothes lady from the Firmament-Origin World, Murong Siqi, the slim figure covered in black robe and with Deep Abyss Demonic Pupil Su Mo from Gu Yuan World, the strongly built like a giant ape Heavenly Pride Yuan Fei from the Desolate Wilds, a mysterious youth with blue hair and strange runes on his face…
These super Heavenly Prides, located in various corners of the square, all cast their gaze towards Zhang Henshui who carried the blood-red saber on his back.
From their gaze, one could see the intense fighting spirit surging.
Each of them is considered the number one in their realm, and they have fought with Heavenly Prides of other realms on the Void Warship, demonstrating overwhelming power. They didn’t think they were inferior to others.
Confronting Saber Demon Zhang Henshui, who is known to be unquestionably the number one, they naturally desire to compete with him to prove themselves.
If it weren’t for the approaching trial, someone would have been unable to hold back by now.
Nevertheless, among these hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Prides, Saber Demon Zhang Hengshui is undeniably the unquestioned first. This point won’t change even if Heavenly Prides like Yuan Fei and Su Mo resist admitting it.
Saber Demon Zhang Hengshui, is the most incredible emerging Heavenly Pride among this batch.
Even among the Heavenly Prides from the Medium World and the Big World of the same age, there are very few who can compete with him.
Nangong Rui said, “It is rumoured that some time ago, the Outer Sect Disciples of the Azurefire Palace had a conflict with Zhang Henshui.
As a result, among the twenty-five veteran Outer Sect Disciples of the Azurefire Palace, twelve were severely injured, thirteen lightly injured, while Zhang Henshui remained unharmed.
This incident drew the attention of the Azurefire Palace’s high-level management. The final outcome was that those Azurefire Palace Outer Sect Disciples broke the palace rules and were punished by the Enforcement Hall. As for Zhang Henshui, it was self-defense, and he was not punished.”
Looking at the departing Zhang Henshui, Lu Yun seemed lost in thought.
The veteran Outer Sect Disciples of Azurefire Palace are at the very least at the Heavenly Human Realm. Zhang Henshui, being able to heavily injure a dozen of them while being surrounded by more than twenty of them, his strength must be unfathomably formidable.
After the conflict, the punishment of the Green Flame Palace’s outer sect disciples was handed over to the Law Enforcement Hall, and no action was taken against Zhang Henshui.
This proved that Zhang Henshui has a terrifying talent, so strong that it has been recognized by the high-ranking figures in Green Flame Palace.
Otherwise, even if Zhang Henshui really acted in self-defense, he could not escape the punishment of the Green Flame Palace’s rules.
“I know a bit about this man. It is said that he entered the Heavenly Human Realm with less than ten years of cultivation, and now he has understood ten Rules. His Saber Cultivation talent is very terrifying, and he has already condensed a Saber Domain.”
Looking at the Saber Demon, Zhang Henshui, who was gradually walking away, Gongsun Zhonghong said in a deep voice. He was very clear in his mind that he was far from being the opponent of this guy who had cultivated several decades less than he had.
They were both in the same Heavenly Human Realm, but those who possessed a Saber Domain and a Sword Domain were absolutely invincible. Among those in the same realm, only those Heavenly Prides who cultivate the holy body could match up to them.
Out of millions of Heavenly Prides, it seemed that only Wuchen, Yuan Yao, and Lu Yun had succeeded in cultivating the holy body.
The Heavenly Prides from other Worlds did not have the method to cultivate a holy body.
Given the talent displayed by Zhang Hengshui, he might obtain a suitable method to cultivate a holy body after entering the Green Flame Palace.
By then, his combat power may be even more terrifying.
“Condensing a Saber Domain, understanding the ten Rules, how did he cultivate?” Lu Yun frowned slightly. His swift cultivation was mainly due to his cheat system.
Even so, he was now only in the late stage of the Golden Core Realm and it would take a long time to reach Zhang Hengshui’s level.
“It seems that after becoming a disciple of the Green Flame Palace, I need to quickly accumulate enough energy beads to advance my realm so I can catch up with others.”
Even though he himself was a Heavenly Pride, he didn’t think he could defeat others who were several levels ahead.
In the square, almost all eyes were on him, causing Zhang Henshui to frown slightly.
But since no one had actively provoked him, he didn’t comment on it. Instead, he quickly passed through the crowd and entered a restaurant.
By rights, at his level, he could have lived off the energy of heaven and earth.
However, since stepping onto the path of cultivation, he had always maintained the habit of eating at least one meal a day.
Of course, this excluded when he was in seclusion.
…
Time quietly passed, and one day, Lu Yun, who was cultivating in his room, suddenly heard a voice in his mind.
“The ten-day deadline has passed. The trial period is about to begin. Everyone quickly gathers in the central square.”
Upon hearing this, over two million Heavenly Prides quickly flew in from all directions and assembled in the central square.
In just under a quarter of an hour, all the Heavenly Prides had arrived, standing in neat and dense formations.
In the sky above the square, surprisingly, was the elder from ten days ago.
However, at this time, the elder’s face held no trace of a smile. His serious demeanor and the powerful aura emanating from him caused the Heavenly Prides below to tremble involuntarily. Not a single one dared to make a sound.
Lu Yun resisted the oppressive feeling and looked up at the elder in the sky. He felt as if the elder was a supreme entity. His surroundings seemed slightly unreal, giving a bizarre feeling as if he were not in the same time and space as the rest.
“More than a hundred small worlds, each selecting more than twenty thousand, amounting to nearly three million Heavenly Prides,” the elder stood in the void, looking down at the crowd beneath him, his voice stern.
“Our Green Flame Palace, as one of the super forces in the Black-yellow Great World, sets very strict standards for selecting disciples. We can only select one hundred of you to be formal disciples, one thousand to be outer sect disciples, and the rest will become servant disciples.”
The words of the elder caused the Heavenly Prides below to fall into a stupor.
Nearly three million people, but only one hundred can become formal disciples and one thousand can become outer sect disciples.
This meant that nearly all of them would be reduced to being servant disciples of the Green Flame Palace.
This fact was extremely cruel for them.
