78 First Trial (2)

Using that trick, Yang Tian destroyed wave after wave. During the end of each wave, he would keep one of the Stone Dragon Warriors alive, but not in a condition in which it could hurt him and recover his profound energy.

At this moment, whether it was Jasmine, Chu Yuechan, or even the Spirit of the Azure Dragon watching his test, they couldn't help but blink in disbelief.

Wasn't this trick a little too effective?! Perhaps even the real Primordial Azure Dragon had thought that someone would use such a loophole in the trials.

"It appears that his mind is far more extraordinary than his strength." The Spirit of the Primordial Azure Dragon thought with a hint of a smile on its face.

It was naturally happy that such a person would inherit the bloodline of the Dragon God.

"Because of his ambition, he will go to the Realm of the Gods sooner or later. Maybe I can request him for that task… However, I might need to give him even more benefits than I initially wanted to."

Meanwhile, within the trial grounds, Yang Tian had wholly recovered his Profound Energy and destroyed the last Stone Dragon Warrior from the 9th Wave.

This whole trial took nearly an entire day. Well, he did eat and recover his strength… so it wasn't too bad.

Suddenly, the voice of the Primordial Azure Dragon rang from above.

"Very good, young human. It is the first time I have witnessed someone passing the first trial in such a manner. But this has highlighted your intelligence and has truly impressed me. However, the first stage of the trial has not yet been completed. The last wave, which is also the most difficult challenge, is going to start soon. Since you have well-rested, the next wave will start immediately."

"Whatever…" He mouthed out with a hint of indifference.

At this time, a rumbling sound suddenly came from the mountain cliffs directly in front of him. Along with the sound, a gate that was near ten meters in height suddenly opened in the mountain cliff. Within the mountain gate, a towering silhouette slowly walked out with giant steps. As it entirely walked out, the stone gate behind him also closed amidst the rumbling sound.

This silhouette's outer shape was very similar to the Stone Dragon Warriors; however, it was much bigger than an ordinary Stone Dragon Warrior. Its body was over three meters, and its entire body was covered in thick and heavy golden coloured armour; the weapon in its hands was more so extraordinarily eye-catching… That was a massive sword with an utterly grey body and was even a size larger than the Overlord's Colossal Sword.

The last trial of the first stage of the Dragon God Trial only had one opponent -- Stone Dragon General!

"So then… What is its cultivation base?" Yang Tian asked Jasmine, a slightly solemn look appearing on his face.

"6th Level of the Earth Profound Realm," Jasmine replied to Yang Tian, "But it also holds the Sky Profound Weapon.���

"I see… That's still manageable, I guess." Yang Tian unconsciously let out the breath he had been holding. He had thought that the Azure Dragon Spirit might send a peak Sky Profound Realm expert to deal with him.

A peak sky profound expert along with that Sky Profound sword... It would have been better to give up than fight against such an opponent at Yang Tian's current level. Fortunately, his opponent was only in the Earth Profound Realm.

The Stone Dragon General did not show any emotion and did not speak; it only attacked.

Yang Tian took a deep breath as he saw the Stone Dragon General approaching him. He immediately opened the Burning Heart, and his body was filled with profound energy six times stronger than before.

He was confident in clashing against the Stone Dragon General now.

The Stone Dragon General was also fighting with a Heavy Sword, even though it was a Sky Profound Weapon, Yang Tian had ways to deal with it.

The Stone Dragon General wasn't a real person. It wasn't using real skills; it was merely utilising the basic manoeuvres with the Heavy Sword.

Yang Tian could easily misdirect it and strike the Stone Dragon General.

Under the effect of the Burning Heart, his profound energy could still somewhat combat against the Stone Dragon General. However, he was at the losing end.

Chu Yuechan continued to gaze at Yang Tian's back.

She didn't know why, but she was anxious about him. Was it because if he fell, she might not have a chance to recover her strength? Or was it because she was somewhat concerned about him? She didn't know, and she didn't care about the answer at this point.

All she wanted was to see him win now.

Yang Tian was somewhat bored while fighting against the Stone Dragon General now. He decided it was time to end it.

"Third Gate: Purgatory… Open!"

He immediately opened up the Third Gate of the Purgatory and decided to end this fight swiftly.

"Phoenix Slash!" (A/N: The combination of Heavenly Wolf Slash and World Ode of Phoenix. You can consider it "Phoenix Break" from the original novel.)

As he slashed the Stone Dragon General, the Stone Dragon General remained motionless for some moments.

"Empyrean Dance of the Phoenix Wing!"

Not intending to allow it to get back to normal, Yang Tian immediately charged at the Stone Dragon General with a weak silhouette of the Phoenix around his body.

As the silhouette touched the Stone Dragon General's body, it started to burn it at a quick rate.

It didn't take long for the Stone Dragon General's body to finally disappear with the ashes. The Sky Profound Weapon fell on the ground, though.

Yang Tian bent down and picked up the Sky Profound Weapon. He placed it within his Sky Poison Pearl… It will be useful later.

"You have already passed the first stage of the trial. Not just that, but you also accomplished the two-fold difficulty level. You have allowed me to see the greatest of hope. The second stage's trial ground gate has already opened. After making sufficient preparations, go in the opened stone gate, and you will enter the second stage's trial ground. I wish you good fortune."

The opened stone gate was the second trial's gate.
