Chapter 640 – Saint’s Imposing Pressure!

As they stepped into the Ancient Desolation Tower, their vision suddenly turned black, and intense spatial fluctuations emerged. When their vision was restored, they found themselves in a vast area spanning tens of thousands of miles.

From the perspective of the Ancient Desolation Tower, the bottom of the tower was at most a hundred meters long and wide. They never expected it to be a completely different world, much like a God Refining Pagoda.

In the next moment, Xuan Yi felt a surge of warmth in his body, as if a traveler returning home. He immediately understood that it was a reaction between the ancient energy he had absorbed earlier and the Ancient Desolation Tower.

It seemed that only by absorbing enough ancient energy would one be qualified to enter this Ancient Desolation Tower!

With this in mind, Xuan Yi scanned the surroundings, and his profound eyes revealed one extraordinary sight after another.

On the walls at the edge of the area, there were densely inscribed runes that seemed to possess a lifelike quality. As the walls rotated, they exuded an endless splendour.

The sky above the area seemed immeasurably high, with no end in sight. Invisibly, it created a strong sense of oppression, making one feel like a frog at the bottom of a well.

Throughout the area, there stood towering statues, emanating a faint yet powerful pressure. As long as one didn’t touch them, they wouldn’t have any effect on people.

“Are these statues of the Saints?”

Xuan Yi glanced at the statue but didn’t pay it any more attention. However, in the next moment, the statue suddenly spoke, “Detection of the trial participant’s absorption of the ancient energy has reached 100%. Opening any level of assessment difficulty. Please choose!”

“Easy, normal, difficult, nightmare, despair, hell, abyss, survival or death! The trial participant may choose freely!”

The echoing voice made Xuan Yi’s eyebrows twitch. The main reason he agreed to go to the Ancient Desolation Road with the Heart Inquiry Sect was for this final trial, so his choice was clear.

“Survival or death!”

“To survive or die, never to transcend. Are you sure?”

“I’m sure!”

“Good luck, trial participant!”

The cold mechanical voice echoed from the statue’s mouth, and it dissipated. In the instant darkness enveloped his vision, the surrounding area suddenly shrank several times in size.

Xuan Yi suddenly discovered that the energy and spirit within him were completely sealed off, as if he were an ordinary person who had never cultivated before.

Buzz!

In an instant, spiritual chains appeared around the room, directly entangling Xuan Yi’s limbs and neck, fiercely pulling at them.

Damn it!

Intense pain surged forth, and a coldness flickered in Xuan Yi’s eyes. Even if his spirit and energy were sealed, not to mention that he had just accepted the Dragon and Phoenix inheritance, even without it, he could easily break through this confinement with the Primordial Origin Qi.

Roar!

A sound of the Dragon and Phoenix resonated from within Xuan Yi’s body. Although the Ancient Desolation Tower sealed his energy and spirit, it couldn’t seal off the Primordial Origin Qi and the Dragon and Phoenix bloodline.

The Phoenix wings unfolded behind Xuan Yi, the dragon scales manifested on his limbs, unleashing a terrifying power that directly repelled the spiritual chains.

For Xuan Yi, this trial was simply child’s play!

But for others, it was an extreme test of their mental resilience!

It could only be said that it was not that this trial of the Survival level was too lousy, but rather that Xuan Yi was too abnormal!

After shattering five chains, five more chains unexpectedly extended from the wall. Xuan Yi clenched his fists tightly and forcefully shattered them.

Another five chains …

Boom!

The Primordial Origin Qi directly broke the restraint on Xuan Yi’s spirit by the Ancient Desolate Tower. The Dragon Phoenix Emperor Spear appeared in his hand, and he fiercely stabbed it into the wall, causing the wall to crack continuously.

At the same time, spiritual energy chains emerged once again, and energy surged from the wall, apparently attempting to repair it.

“Hehe!”

With a phoenix spreading its wings, the wall instantly shattered, and the spiritual energy chains that came from all directions dispersed immediately.

“Congratulations, the participant has passed the first level of the Survival Trial. Please receive your reward!”

At the moment the voice fell, a surging tide of energy descended from the statue’s hands, engulfing Xuan Yi directly.

Instinctively, Xuan Yi tried to activate the “Qiankun Scripture” and the “Dragon Phoenix Prohibition Canon” to resist, but instantly he realized that this tidal wave of energy was not a forceful replenishment but rather had the effect of strengthening his foundation and cultivating his essence.

Therefore, Xuan Yi gave up resistance and instead devoured and absorbed the energy. His spirit and energy rapidly surged …

Second level.

“Welcome to the second level of the Survival Trial!”

As the words echoed, Xuan Yi keenly felt two surging pressures, like violent storms, pouring down from the statue, suppressing his form and spirit.

This level of pressure exceeded what a Divine Realm could withstand, and even from Shao Siyan, Xuan Yi had never felt such a thing, only sensing faint fluctuations from Wuting.

Obviously, this was the pressure of a Saint.

“Pressure?”

The Dragon Phoenix Emperor Spear swung out, radiating golden light. Spiritual energy continuously poured into the spear, and a dragon phoenix roared into the sky, completely resisting the pressure.

This level of the trial should test one’s will.

Character, willpower, truly a good place for cultivating a person.

However, for Xuan Yi, he didn’t have the time to waste on such things. It was better to end this trial early.

Just as Xuan Yi was about to make a move, a mysterious ripple spread out, creating waves with intense Dao rhymes.

Boom!

Xuan Yi shattered it with a punch, then raised the Dragon Phoenix Emperor Spear. As he swung it, the Primordial Divine Thunder surged forth: “Nine Heavens of Calamity!”

Between the swings of the Dragon Phoenix Emperor Spear, the Primordial Divine Thunder attacked the statue in a dense and relentless manner, completely ignoring the terrifying pressure of the Saint, and directly crushed the existence of the statue.

After the statue shattered, a brilliant portal appeared, but the falling debris from the statue could potentially seal the portal.

Ripples spread through the space as Xuan Yi used the Cloud Walking Void Step to suddenly appear in front of the portal. His powerful dragon claws erupted with force, attempting to forcefully open the portal.

At this moment, the fragments of the statue fell like a torrential rain, aiming directly at Xuan Yi, carrying immense power and pressure.

“Get out of the way!”

Xuan Yi shouted explosively, and all his power erupted like a surging river, his mighty soul force temporarily blocking the fragments.

“Break!”

The Extreme Thunder Slashing Path bloomed in Xuan Yi’s hand, forcefully creating a crack in the portal. He imprinted his fist on it, causing it to shatter instantly.

In a flash, Xuan Yi was transported to the third level of the Ancient Desolate Tower, and his vision once again plunged into darkness.

Although the second level didn’t have a significant impact on Xuan Yi, it made him realize that this Survival Trial was not simple!
