Villain : After Slacking Off, The Protagonist Collapse

The azure sky split open, revealing a gigantic rift. Divine light cascaded down through the rift, exposing numerous overlapping spaces that resembled a high-rise building.

This was the final trial of the Supreme Palace. The trial consisted of a hundred layers. The higher the number of layers reached, the more points were earned.

Stepping into the hundredth layer would grant a special reward. However, over the ages, only a handful of beings have managed to achieve this. All of them became unparalleled powerhouses, even Emperors.

“The final trial has begun!”

“So soon?”

“Wasn’t it said that to initiate the final trial, at least two quasi-Saints had to be slain?”

“Damn, it’s too quick! Who exactly made the move, so silently?”

“It must be the Primordial Holy Son. Among those present, how many can slay a quasi-Saint? And there were rumors that he had easily slain a quasi-Saint before!”

“That’s not necessarily true. Those unparalleled geniuses also have the ability to slay quasi-Saints!”

“The final trial came out so suddenly!”

“You guys go ahead, I still need to seek opportunities nearby!”

“Right, I won’t participate in the final trial, probably won’t get any rewards anyway!”

“This place smells better!”

The opening of the final trial surprised everyone. Because it appeared too early. Normally, it would take at least ten days to half a month to begin. Now, it had fully initiated in just a few short days.

Some were overjoyed, for they had been waiting for this moment. The final trial offers rewards at certain layers, with richer rewards for higher layers.

Every ten layers grants a reward. The rewards are random, possibly divine weapons, secret techniques, or even divine sources. Essentially, they are all related to cultivation.

For some geniuses, their target is naturally the final trial. Reaching a sufficient number of layers in the final trial, one can obtain a vast amount of rewards and points. If one could enter the top ten, that would be even better.

“Although it’s a bit early! But it suits me just fine! This time, I will surely trample all others underfoot!” Jin Changhe’s eyes sparkled with anticipation, ready to try his luck.

The final trial is the stage for these geniuses. Only here can the extent of a genius’s excellence be measured. Only here can one’s future potential and limits be discerned.

“Jiang Chen is quite impatient! To initiate the final trial so quickly!” Golden Crow’s God Son gazed at the layers of space in the sky, speaking indifferently.

They had thought it would take some time before the final trial begins. After all, initiating the final trial requires time. Who would have thought that Jiang Chen would be able to do it quickly.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen, along with Yan Ruyu, soared towards the sky, moving as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, they entered the trial space.

“It really is the Primordial Holy Som!”

“Indeed, it’s strange. How exactly did he slay those two quasi-Saints?”

“There wasn’t even a hint of their presence being killed!”

“They were silently slapped to death, probably similar to what happened with that demon before!”

“Is he really only at the Great Master Realm? I wouldn’t doubt it if you said he was a Saint, only a Saint could slay a quasi-Saint so effortlessly!”

“Now, it’s impossible to gauge the depth of Primordial Holy Son. It’s also unknown if he can maintain such strength after stepping into the quasi-Saint realm, or even after becoming a Saint.”

“Basically impossible, those who can step into this realm, aren’t all of them unparalleled geniuses?”

“Especially at the Saint Realm, the difference between realms is like heaven and earth, even unparalleled geniuses have to obediently comply!”

“However, over the long years, it’s not that there haven’t been monsters who could maintain their strength at the Saint Realm!”

Seeing Jiang Chen’s arrival didn’t surprise people much. Because they had guessed from the beginning it was Jiang Chen’s doing. Now, it was just confirmation of their initial speculation.

As Jiang Chen entered the trial space, various geniuses followed suit. Pure Yang Holy Son, Huang Qingtian, Golden Crow God Son, and many other geniuses headed towards the sky. In a short time, hundreds of geniuses had entered.

Stepping into it completely, “Why doesn’t Brother Chen join me?” One cultivator looked puzzled at his friend.

The final trial had begun, yet his friend was still staying in this place.“I’ll not go for now. There are many opportunities within the island. Now that many have gone, I also have a chance to seek opportunities!”

“After all, we independent cultivators are different from you sect disciples!” The cultivator quickly declined.

This was the mentality of most independent cultivators.There are many islands here, with many harboring opportunities.

These opportunities might not attract beings from large forces, but for smaller forces and independent cultivators, they are countless treasures.

They can gain a lot of opportunities through these. Be it divine weapons or elixirs, all are needed by them. And this advantage is not available in the outside world.

After stepping into the trial space, Jiang Chen set the two down and said, “From here on, it’s up to you!”

The trial space can only be navigated alone, not in groups. Otherwise, Jiang Chen would have really considered sending the two directly into the hundredth layer to take all the rewards.

“Measure your strength, don’t push too hard! Especially you, Muyu!”Jiang Chen specifically cautioned.

Jing Muyu’s strength is still low, unable to go far in the trial space. But Jing Muyu’s nature is straightforward and stubborn; he worried she would force herself for higher levels, resulting in harm to herself.

“Brother Jiang Chen, don’t worry. If I really can’t hold on, I will give up!” Although Jing Muyu was somewhat reluctant, she knew that she couldn’t go further in the Supreme Palace at the moment. This made Jing Muyu extremely regretful. If only she had more time.

Subsequently, the three entered together. Upon stepping into the trial space. A crushing force swept over them. This force was special, invisible and colorless, like the pressure of a powerful being, intimidating the flesh and also suppressing the soul!

Without sufficient physical and soul strength, one cannot proceed further.And the higher one goes, the stronger the oppressive feeling.

Moreover, the higher the layers, the more trials and tests there are.Especially the last ten layers, each layer is worlds apart, with the difficulty increasing manifold.

Yan Ruyu and Jiang Chen were quite relaxed, without any pressure. But Jing Muyu was different, immediately feeling a tremendous pressure.After all, her strength was still low, making it hard to withstand the pressure inside.

The two didn’t stop because of this but continued to move forward.This was something Jing Muyu had to experience, including the setbacks and difficulties.They couldn’t intervene or offer consolation.

Everything depended on Jing Muyu herself, how far she could go depended on her own ability.

Soon Huang Qingtian and others followed.

“Jiang Chen is not being generous! Not even waiting for us!” Pure Yang Holy Son chuckled lightly.

Qin Ershi looked ahead at Jiang Chen and calmly said, “He is indeed fast, having reached the twentieth layer in such a short time!”

They themselves their own speed was not slow. Just a few minutes had passed, but in just those few minutes, Jiang Chen had already stepped into the twentieth layer, leaving them far behind.

“Yan Ruyu is not bad either, although behind Jiang Chen, she is also nearing the twentieth layer!”

Pure Yang clicked his tongue, “To be honest, this former saintess of the All Pleasure Sect seems to be becoming more and more of a monster. Her speed is almost the same as ours now!”

“How come I never heard of Yan Ruyu being able to reach this level before? This counts as the ranks of the unparalleled geniuses. The followers of Jiang Chen are all unparalleled geniuses. It seems we can’t fall behind either!”

“If we’re surpassed by Yan Ruyu in the future, how will we ever make it in the Nine Heavens Realm!” While saying this, Pure Yang quickly stepped inside.

“I actually think this little girl is also quite outstanding, despite her low realm, she has managed to reach the fourth layer! For others in the True King Realm, it might not be possible to reach this level!” Zifu’s gaze fell on Jing Muyu, speaking with a bit of gravity.

The trial space tests all aspects, strength, talent, and temperament. All of these are crucial. Lacking any one of them makes it difficult to go further inside.

Huang Qingtian ignored the others, transforming into a divine light and rushing forward at an extremely fast speed, surpassing Jing Muyu and the others.

Seeing this, the other geniuses didn’t engage in further conversation.They also quickly entered and with many geniuses stepping in, the originally calm trial space became somewhat lively.
