33 The second stage! The plains of death!

:::::

"What's this thing, ancestor?"

Kaido returned to his usual form and showed up the brown pearl toward the Dragon God's eyes in the sky.

"'Anything you get from the trial ground belongs to you."'

'"That thing is a Primordial Earth Dragon Core, containing the essence of a Primordial Earth Dragon God from the Ancient Era.'"

"'What you hold in your hand is the essence of a divine beast, but it is the lowest of a divine beast."'

'''Although that, It's a wonderful treasure for you. You can use it in cultivation or enhance your earth attribute to the highest level. After all, except the Primordial Heretic God, there was no better divine beast than the Primordial Earth Dragon at manipulating the earth element."'

"Hm?"

Kaido felt a great desire from the Devil Tree to devour this pearl so even without the Primordial Azure Dragon God's acknowledgment, Kaido already knew that he was holding a divine treasure in his hand.

He immediately placed him in the inner space of the Phoenix Realm Pearl and focused on the second stage.

He will later consume it to get a new Devil Fruit.

'''Well, the second trial ground gate has already been opened. After you have made sufficient preparations, go to the open stone gate and you will enter the ground of the second stage trial. I wish you good luck.'''

The stone gate open to Kaido was the second trial gate.

"The first stage was really difficult, so I don't expect less than that from the second stage!"

Kaido enjoyed immersing himself in these trial much more than that the Phoenix.

Because he can feel like putting his life on the line again.

When he was about to enter through the gate, he spotted a powerful weapon that had not been destroyed along with one of the Stone Dragon Generals he was carrying.

"Hmm. Good sword."

Kaido grabbed the Dragon Fault and threw it into his inventory.

Although it was a heavy sword that weighed over 14,000 kilograms, it looked like a light sword in Kaido's hand.

This was an upgradeable Sky Profound weapon after all.

After slowly entering the stone gate, his vision became pitch-black. Then, he took two more steps forward and it suddenly lightened up.

It was as if it only took two steps to completely step over from one world into another.

What appeared before his eyes was a vast expanse of an endless plain. Grace covered the ground and some trees gave shade. Even the faint sound of running water could be heard. There were short hills in the distance that rose and fell. Occasionally, the cries of all kinds of birds and animals could be heard.

This place's refreshingly delightful atmosphere and smells were also completely different than the previous location's. Kaido turned around and still saw the endless plain.

There were simply no signs of any mountain walls or stone gates. He immediately understood then, that he did not walk through some stone gate, but rather a transportation formation.

Kaido already knew this, so it turns out that the main form of the trials is no different, only their intensity.

But unlike what Yun Che faced in the original novel.

What Kaido is facing now is completely different.

Kaido looked at the sky with dead eyes.

The sky was filled up with all kinds of flying dragons!

The sky is full of dragons! Is this House Of Dragons?!

Of different levels and genres!

"Kaido-Sama! This place is filled up with countless divine path beasts! Be careful!"

Rias has given Kaido an urgent warning after sensing the endless plains.

It was also at this time that the Primordial Azure Dragon's voice sounded.

'Young dragon, welcome. This place is the Dragon God Trial's second trial ground. This trial ground has no limit, and also has no exit. You can only leave this place after you have completed the trial. Or perhaps you would be buried here before the trial."'

'"There are an innumerable amount of profound beasts and profound dragons too here in this endless plain. The level of the profound beasts here has all been adjusted with your strength as the benchmark. every single profound beast and dragon here is not lower than the Divine Origin Realm. As for some of the more powerful beasts, their strength far surpasses the Stone Dragon Rider that you had killed."'

"'To these profound beasts and dragons, this place is an endless paradise. But to you, this place is extremely dangerous... it is an abyss filled with countless shadows of death. This is because once the profound beasts here sense your aura, they would all immediately unleash an endless barrage of attacks. At the same time, under my soul's guidance, dragons near you would all be led in your direction. You would be hunted at all times by profound beasts and would never be able to sleep soundly or eat in peace."'

"Wororororororo!!!"

Kaido started laughing madly after hearing that!

"Then I just have to turn this green paradise into a bloody sea to go through this trial, right, ancestor?"

'''...''''

'''Practically... Yes.''''

Even the Primordial Azure Dragon God felt a shiver at this moment.

Is this his descendant suffering from mental illness?

Is he crazy?!

'''Well, your objective in clearing this second stage of the trial is to kill two million profound beasts and profound dragons, within six months.''''

"'You don't have to worry about committing an immoral massacre. These beasts and dragons are made up from the residual energy of the Primordial Azure Dragon God and are not real even though they are almost real."

"Two million!!! Within six months?! Is this a joke?!"

At this point, even Kaido was deeply shocked... Why is this trial so difficult?
