Chapter 1015: Chapter 644: A Different Trial’s Rules, the Demon Lord’s Son

Getting a stash of Spirit Stones for nothing, Lu Qing was in a good mood.

Twenty thousand lower-grade Spirit Stones are not a small amount. After all, those two Trial Jade Talismans were of no use to him.

Being able to exchange them for Spirit Stones was like earning them for free.

Additionally, each of the Storage Magical Treasures of those three Golden Core Realm cultivators contained some Spirit Stones.

This gave Lu Qing, who originally felt a bit strapped for cash, a bit of replenishment.

Just as he was storing away the Spirit Stones, the valley ahead, shrouded in an invisible spatial fluctuation, finally showed some movement.

He saw a distortion in the air, and a figure appeared from within the valley.

It was a man wearing a ghostly mask, exuding a chilling aura that made everyone afraid to underestimate him.

"Those who wish to participate in the trial, hold your Trial Jade Talismans and follow me inside. You have the time of ten breaths. If you don’t make it in time, just roll back by yourself."

After throwing out these cold words, the masked man turned and vanished back into the valley.

The strong cultivators hidden in the surrounding forests were initially startled by these words, but quickly acted without delay, using their movement techniques to rush towards the valley.

Afraid of being a step too late and really losing their qualification.

The Netherworld Palace’s trials are not held every year.

Sometimes, they don’t occur even once in a decade. Missing this one means not knowing when the next will be.

Lu Qing, also holding his Trial Jade Talisman, followed the crowd towards the valley.

As he neared the valley’s entrance, the Trial Jade Talisman in his hand suddenly emitted a glow, enveloping him.

Immediately, the space before him rippled like water.

Passing through that layer of invisible spatial fluctuation, a familiar sensation surged to Lu Qing’s heart.

He quickly realized that this was the sensation of space transmission.

Sure enough, when Lu Qing’s vision stabilized, he found himself on a desolate land, with no sign of the valley.

"So that’s it. The valley was just a decoy. The real Trial Land is in this peculiar space beyond the transmission array."

Lu Qing’s heart stirred as he sensed the surroundings.

Soon he confirmed that they were no longer in the Heavenly Origin Great World but in a space similar to a secret realm.

The Spiritual Energy here was a bit thinner than in the Heavenly Origin Great World, and it was unusually desolate and silent.

There was an abundance of death energy within, attempting to invade their bodies.

This made the strong cultivators turn pale, quickly activating their Golden Cores to fend off the death energy.

"This time’s trial is quite simple."

Just then, a voice echoed, and everyone looked up to see the masked man who led them here now standing atop a steep peak, looking down on them.

"Have you seen the Trial Jade Talismans in your hands? In the time to come, no matter what means you use, whether by cunning, deceit, coercion, or even forceful robbery.

Use all the techniques you have to seize the Trial Jade Talismans from others.

You have three days to stay in this space.

In these three days, the top ten who collect the most Trial Jade Talismans and persevere to the last moment will pass the trial and become members of the Netherworld Palace’s outer circle.

The Trialist who seizes the most Talismans will also receive rewards from our Netherworld Palace.

Soon, your Talismans will be activated, and then all Talismans will sense each other."

"Only ten people can pass the trial?"

"Collecting Trial Jade Talismans, doesn’t this mean we have to fight each other?"

"I knew it; the Netherworld Palace trial wouldn’t be simple!"

"If all Trial Jade Talismans can sense each other, doesn’t that mean there’s no escape?"

...

Hearing the masked man’s words, everyone below was shocked.

Moreover, looking at the surrounding people, they all became highly vigilant.

They knew that with this trial content, they were destined to battle each other.

As for those relatively weaker in the Golden Core Realm, they showed bitter expressions.

Some even cried out in discontent: "This is unfair! Doesn’t this mean we who have a lower realm are doomed not to pass the trial?"

"If your strength is inferior, isn’t elimination only natural?" the masked man said coldly, "Did you think the trial of our Netherworld Palace was child’s play?

If you have any sense, you should throw out your Trial Jade Talismans early, find a place to hide. That way, perhaps you might survive until the trial ends.

Oh, by the way, let me tell you, it’s not just you few participants in this trial.

Trialists from other regions of your Human Race, along with demons from the Demon Domain, and even the Demon Clan from the Monster Domain, have all entered this space.

So, if you want to pass the trial, don’t hold back in your slaughter, hahahaha..."

As the masked man’s arrogant laughter faded, his figure slowly vanished.

His last words made everyone look drastically changed.

"What, demons and Demon Beasts from the Demon Domain, Monster Domain, are also participating in this trial with us?"

"Such actions by the Netherworld Palace, aren’t they afraid of inciting the wrath of the three major races?"

"For a mere outer circle member’s trial, we have to fight demons and beasts. This Netherworld Palace is utterly insane!"

...

The Golden Core Realm cultivators were in an uproar, many showing signs of panic on their faces.
