"It's really been opened!"
Everyone stared in shock at the scene before them, even the old city lord was no exception.
Although they had anticipated it, witnessing it firsthand still left them awestruck.
This young genius, who was not an Imperial Son, had actually managed to open the Trial Gate of the ancient tower.
Rumble—
As the ancient trial gate was gradually pushed open, a sealed aura of primordial antiquity blew forth, scattering Ye Chen's hair and revealing a glimpse of the interior of the Supreme Ancient Tower.
It was a void space, pitch black and seemingly empty, yet a dangerous aura rippled within, making Ye Chen not dare to be the slightest bit careless.
"Abenue, you stay here and wait for me," Ye Chen said.
"Understood," Abenue naturally complied, standing guard before the Supreme Ancient Tower.
Although the two young generation's supreme servants, Mo Haishen and Luo Guyun, also stared wide-eyed into the Supreme Ancient Tower with longing—this was the hope they had harbored for countless years in the Trial Ancient City, finally appearing—they could not enter. Ye Chen had ordered them to remain outside as well.
Under the gaze of all, Ye Chen stepped inside. At the same moment, the Trial Gate slammed shut with a boom, completely isolating him from the outside world.
"The Supreme Ancient Tower has opened once more, signifying the beginning of the Emperor Children's Supreme Trial. Although this Battle Saint King is truly powerful, that Supreme Trial is established specifically for Emperor Sons and Daughters. Even those figures have bled within. I wonder if this Battle Saint King can pass the Supreme Trial?"
Many people speculated. Although the strength Ye Chen had currently displayed was indeed formidable enough, the Supreme Trial was not aimed at ordinary young generation's supreme, but at the level of Emperor Children—the highest difficulty. Even the strongest young supreme figures of this caliber might perish within if they were the slightest bit careless.
Therefore, many harbored doubts.
However, Abenue believed in Ye Chen with absolute certainty, for she deeply understood her master's invincibility. Back at the fiftieth checkpoint, he had single-handedly contended against two alien Emperor Sons and Daughters, which spoke volumes.
Swish—
Almost simultaneously, the void space before him vanished, replaced by a vast expanse of ancient heaven and earth—boundless land, immeasurable sky, layered mountain ranges, and endless seas, filled with an ancient and complete aura.
Within, a figure descended from the sky, enveloped in flawless, pure Holy Light, full of sanctity capable of purifying all evil in the world. A young angel descended, with sixteen wings on her back, each wing adorned with pristine feathers.
This was a slender and graceful woman, with a curvaceous and tall figure, golden hair cascading over her shoulders and back, clad in a pure white sacred robe, and possessing an exceedingly beautiful face. Every glance and movement was heart-stirring.
"Angel Race?"
Ye Chen's sword-like eyebrows twitched slightly in surprise. He hadn't expected to encounter such an Angel Race beauty in the Supreme Trial. Moreover, knowing that the Angel Race belonged to the Sealed Boundary Universe, and that the Angel Great Emperor originated from there, naturally filled him with immense astonishment.
The Angel Race Divine Maiden also looked at Ye Chen. Her beautiful eyes, like autumn waters, were clear and flawless, presenting a precious blue hue, as gorgeous and enchanting as a pair of sapphires, brimming with spirit. She stood gracefully, then performed a courteous bow. "I am Christie!"
The Angel Race Divine Maiden actually spoke, seemingly possessing her own special sentience and corresponding intelligence, thus stating her name, which caused Ye Chen to be slightly taken aback.
"I am Ye Chen!"
After a brief pause, Ye Chen also stated his name.
The Divine Maiden Christie looked at Ye Chen with her sapphire-blue eyes. "You are not an Imperial Son, yet you are very strong. There is a bloodline fluctuation on you similar to that of the Battle Saint lineage from the Sealed Boundary Universe, yet not entirely so—it seems even stronger. This is the first time I have encountered this."
Even with a heart as still as water, hearing her words stirred a ripple in Ye Chen's heart, along with a sense of gravity.
This Angel Divine Maiden who appeared in the Supreme Ancient Tower was very special, extraordinary. She possessed her own sentience and could even see through some of his secrets. This was the first time he had encountered such a being.
He couldn't help but wonder: Was this truly just a trial? Was the other party really a creature conjured by the Supreme Ancient Tower?
Christie smiled faintly, her glance instantly outshining the stars, sun, and moon of the All Heavens, stealing their due radiance. Her laughter was so melodious as she spoke, "You must have many doubts in your heart, and that is only natural. However, I cannot tell you the answers to these doubts now. You must first pass this Supreme Trial before you can gain enlightenment."
"Come, strongest young supreme from the Sealed Boundary Universe. Let me see if your strength has reached the level of an Imperial Child."
"But if you cannot pass, there is only one consequence—"
"Death!"
Christie spoke, her red lips parting slightly to utter the word 'death,' yet from her mouth, it sounded so beautiful and enchanting, intoxicating to the soul.
The moment she made her move, it was like an endless storm sweeping through.
With a slight flutter of the sixteen Holy Light angel wings on her back, boundless, dazzling Holy Light was born, transforming into a vast Holy Light tempest that shot forth like lightning, rushing toward Ye Chen.
However, Ye Chen was shocked to discover that this was not Holy Light at all, but rather boundless Holy Light runes gathered together. So many runes, deep as an abyss and vast as the sea, boundless and terrifying to the extreme.
If a super Great Power of the seventh heaven were struck, they would likely be utterly shattered, completely blown apart, body and soul annihilated!
To attack with such terrifying force from the outset—indeed, this Supreme Trial was truly not to be underestimated.
"Indeed, this is truly a Supreme Trial for Emperor Sons and Daughters. It's not just ordinarily terrifying!"
Ye Chen did not dare to be the slightest bit careless. He directly and rapidly elevated his entire aura to its peak. Surging energy erupted, making his entire being incomparably powerful, shaking this trial space.
Chaotic light radiated brilliantly around him, runes swirling like the stars of the All Heavens. With a resounding long roar, his hands traced out mysterious and profound Great Dao trajectories. Then, a brilliant expanse of chaotic light surged forth, also transforming into a vast ocean that collided head-on with the Holy Light ocean.
Boom—
It was as if the great worlds of the All Heavens were about to be torn apart, everything about to be shattered. This space directly collapsed, everything disintegrating.
Both were too powerful, both at the fifth heaven of Great Power, yet their combat power rivaled that of top-tier super Great Powers at the mid-to-late eighth heaven. Their strength was so immense they could easily shatter stars and break star domains. How could an ordinary world or heaven and earth withstand it?
However, the trial world within the Supreme Ancient Tower was naturally extraordinary, suspected to have been left behind by an Emperor or a Sovereign, specifically for Emperor Children. It quickly conjured an endless blood sea battlefield, with numerous immense mountains standing tall, piercing into the ninth heaven.
There were also stars filling the sky, becoming the battlefield for the two.
