"As you can see, this is a kingdom formed by yellow sand."

Lu You pointed distantly, "That throne is your mission target."

"What you have to do is fight your way through from here, break past the sand creatures obstructing you, reach that throne, and seize the King's Scepter from the king's hand."

"Of course, the scepter recognizes its master. If you can't kill the king, getting the scepter is useless, understand?"

Wang Xu nodded.

The trial of this Profound Dragon Room is very straightforward and crude.

It merely requires you to charge relentlessly, continuously fighting your way through until you reach the end, kill the king, then you pass.

"You look so indifferent, don't say I didn't warn you, the millions of yellow sand soldiers you see, each one is a Billion Era Celestial God." Lu You glanced at Wang Xu and said, "When you charge, millions of yellow sand soldiers will launch a frenzied attack on you. Even though you're in the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm, facing such a vast number of Billion Era Celestial Gods, you will still face mortal danger."

"Just this one level has taken the lives of many in the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm."

Millions of Billion Era Celestial Gods, though they are Celestial God Realm, once united, they will form a terrifying force capable of instantly destroying the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm.

But for Wang Xu, that doesn't mean much.

Lu You noticed that Wang Xu was completely unfazed, his expression didn't change at all, and he frowned slightly.

"Beyond the yellow sand soldiers, there will be stronger Yellow Sand Generals. Although there are only dozens of them, each possesses power comparable to the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm. Combined with the previous millions of Billion Era Celestial God soldiers, only those in the Ancestor Realm can pass safely. Those in the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm are merely sending themselves to die." Lu You said plainly.

He was introducing the trial while warning Wang Xu.

As the Guardian Spirit of this Profound Dragon Room, over countless years, he had seen many in the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm lose their lives in the siege of the yellow sand soldiers while trying to obtain the Great Emperor's Treasure.

Even if a few fortunate ones managed to barely break through the siege of the yellow sand soldiers, they were killed on the spot without even the strength to fight back against attacks from the Yellow Sand Generals.

He had witnessed this countless times over the years and had become numb to it.

Now, whenever he sees a newcomer in the Saint Venerable Realm, he sneers inwardly and shows no kindness.

Entering this Profound Dragon Room in the Saint Venerable Realm is simply courting death.

"Senior Lu You, what about the Yellow Sand Marshals and the king behind them?" Wang Xu asked.

Hearing this, Lu You looked at Wang Xu's calm face, as if he didn't take this matter seriously at all, and felt displeased in his heart.

"The Yellow Sand Marshals, there are only three of them, but each can rival the Extreme Dao Ancestor Realm, and the king's power is not much different from theirs. The only difference is that the king has an 'undying body,' and you must constantly wear him down until he can no longer recover to kill the king."

"Senior Lu You, if these Yellow Sand Marshals are only comparable to the Extreme Dao Ancestor Realm, why can't the Ancestor Realm individuals pass?" Wang Xu asked.

Simply the Extreme Dao Ancestor Realm, any Heaven-Reaching Ancestor Realm being could easily kill the king and get the scepter.

"This is a trial, how can it not be comprehensive?" Lu You rolled his eyes and said irritably, "Those in the Ancestor Realm must suppress their realm to the Saint Venerable Realm for the challenge, otherwise it doesn't count as success, and they won't get the Great Emperor's Treasure."

"Frankly, what's the point if they pass without the Great Emperor's Treasure?"

So that's how it is.

Ancestor Realm needs to suppress their realm.

Although this condition seems a bit unfair to the Saint Venerable Realm, it is a rule set by the Great Emperor Xuanlong, and no one has the power to alter it.

Lu You glanced at Wang Xu, "Kid, seeing you just came in, I kindly advise you, don't choose to challenge, and don't hope to get the Great Emperor's Treasure. It's not something a little guy in the Saint Venerable Realm like you can covet."

"Before you, there were already too many confident little ones who believed they could sweep through peers, invincible in the same realm, with extraordinary talent, pass the trial, and finally... they didn't even have a chance to regret."

"Thank you for the advice, senior." Wang Xu nodded and said.

"Go back, stay within the safe zone of the totem. If you really feel like your life is too long and want to challenge, come here and call my name." Lu You said, "By the way, I also need to remind you not to assume that the safe zone is really safe. Except for Ancestor Realm individuals who cannot make a move, anyone else can."

Finished speaking, Lu You didn't even look at Wang Xu before turning into a yellow streak of light and disappearing.

"Only those in the Saint Venerable Realm can make the move?"

Wang Xu's eyes flashed, and a slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "That's quite nice."

...

Passing through the invisible barrier, Wang Xu entered the "safe zone."

Numerous eyes followed his figure, some curious, some malicious, some calculating something darkly, and some wanting to know and understand... Under everyone's gaze, Wang Xu found a vacant place on the edge and sat down.

"Wang Xu, this trial isn't difficult for you, why didn't you just choose to challenge earlier? It would have been nice to annoy that Guardian Spirit that looks down on you!" You Ji's voice echoed in Wang Xu's heart.

Indeed, the strongest king only compares to the Extreme Dao Ancestor. Even adding the three Yellow Sand Marshals, it roughly amounts to the combat power of four Golden Dragons.

This trial doesn't exert the slightest pressure on Wang Xu.

"No rush, know yourself and your enemy, and you'll never lose a battle. I'll understand first." Wang Xu said, "Moreover, I didn't feel a thing when my realm in 'Zheng' reached perfection, so I should take some time to comprehend it well."

"The outside world isn't safe; this place is quite good."

Hearing this, You Ji sneered and fell silent.

About ten years later.

"Lu You, I challenge you!" A loud voice rang out, and a figure in the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm stood before the distant curtain of yellow sand.

Lu You's figure appeared, and he looked at that person as if he were looking at a dead man.

"Open."

The curtain of yellow sand opened, revealing countless yellow sand soldiers, Yellow Sand Generals, and the Yellow Sand Marshal. The throne and the king were displayed one by one.

The king's scepter struck the ground with a "dong," cracking it, and all the soldiers and generals revived.

"The Great Emperor's Treasure is mine! It's mine!"

The Five Elements Saint Venerable roared in rage, charging straight towards the throne.

Millions of yellow sand soldiers moved.

Like a locust swarm, densely packed beyond counting, the yellow sand soldiers wielded yellow sand halberds, their shouts deafening as they encircled the Five Elements Saint Venerable.

"Get out of my way!"

This Five Elements Saint Venerable wielded a great saber, his sword technique vast and furious, like splitting stars and cutting suns, felling large swathes of yellow sand soldiers.

Once these yellow sand soldiers fell, they turned back into storms and yellow earth, merging with the ground and never appearing again.

"Ugh..."

The power of the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm was indeed strong, but under such an assault, he couldn't remain unharmed. The Five Elements Saint Venerable suffered a series of attacks, causing severe injuries, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Millions of Billion Era Celestial Gods surrounded him tightly.

From the outside, only a huge ball formed by yellow sand soldiers could be seen, completely covering up the trapped Five Elements Saint Venerable.

"No... too strong... too many of them, I can't bear it!"

The Five Elements Saint Venerable finally realized that things were not looking good and wanted to break away from the attacks to retreat.

However, the millions of yellow sand soldiers made it impossible for him to leave.

In the end, accompanied by a miserable scream, the life force of the Saint Venerable Realm vanished, the millions of yellow sand soldiers returned to their positions, and the curtain of yellow sand slowly closed.

"Fool."

"Ridiculous fellow."

"Truly suicidal."

Seeing this outcome, the Saint Venerable Ancestors staying in the safety zone all sneered one after another.

"Not recognizing his own strength, yet coveting treasures, such people are pitiful, but the pitiful have their reasons for being hateful; his death is not regrettable." Wang Xu also witnessed the whole process of the Five Elements Saint Venerable's tragic death.

If you can't see your own strength, yet covet treasures, what is it if not seeking death?

"Forget it, first comprehend 'Zheng', after gaining some insights, then leave."

Just as Wang Xu was about to re-enter a state of comprehension, several figures stood up not far away and approached Wang Xu.

"Hmm?"

These figures were all in the Five Elements Saint Venerable Realm, led by a single-horned man's aura most profound. But just from looking at his eyes, Wang Xu knew they didn't come with good intentions.

The single-horned man approached Wang Xu step by step, each time he beckoned, more Saint Venerable Realm people joined, forming a mighty army with over a hundred Saint Venerables by the time he stood in front of Wang Xu.

"Sha Hu, what are you trying to do?" Suddenly, a questioning voice came from the other side, from a red-skinned man, whose body was burning red like a flame. He too came to Wang Xu's side with over a hundred Saint Venerable realm individuals, facing off against the single-horned man.

In an instant, many eyes converged.

"Chi Yong, are you looking to meddle?"

The single-horned man Sha Hu sneered coldly.

"You're causing trouble on my turf, do you think I can let that slide?" The red-skinned man Chi Yong didn't back down.

Witnessing this scene, Wang Xu chuckled silently, as if seeing street gangsters from old times.

"Kid, you're about to die and you can still laugh?" Sha Hu's expression turned vicious, "If you want to save your life, obediently hand over all your treasures to me, otherwise it'll be too late when I kill you and you beg for mercy!"

"Sha Hu, you're robbing on my turf? Are you tired of living?" Chi Yong squinted his eyes.

Then he looked at Wang Xu: "Young brother, do not be afraid. As long as you give me half your treasures, you'll follow me, Chi Yong. No one will dare bully you in this safety zone!"

It seemed neither of these guys was a good person.

Wang Xu shook his head and stood up.

"You won't be able to take my treasures, but you can leave yours here. If anyone dares to hide anything, they won't escape death today!"

Wang Xu's gaze suddenly changed, an endless killing intent enveloped the area, and the temperature dropped to freezing point.

A terrifying and domineering aura spread out, causing the previously arrogant Sha Hu and Chi Yong to change their expressions instantly.

"It's over, we've encountered a hard nut to crack!" (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
