Chapter 266: Chapter 338: The Origin of Yuan 9 (3rd Update)

Among the heavens and earth, four identical rows of Trial Gates unexpectedly aligned with each other, each situated on the side of a mountain. The final Eighth Level of Trial was located at the summit, radiating a hazy and mysterious Chaos Light.

"This is?"

This scene caught everyone off guard, leaving them all astonished, puzzled, and wondering why suddenly four identical Trial Gates had appeared.

At this moment, Elder Ouyang spoke, "This is the unique power of the Trial Gates. Once someone challenges a Trial Gate, if another person challenges the Trial Gate during that time, another identical Trial Gate will materialize, possessing the same ability. However, the ultimate Eighth Level of Trial Gate is singular. No matter which row of Trial Gates you start from, they all ultimately connect to this Eighth Level of Trial."

People understood and were amazed by the miraculous power of the Trial Gates that could manifest other gates.

The three Ancient Heroes, all individuals displaying extraordinary phenomena, each having Divine Light Heavenly Pillars soaring from the top of their skulls, their Blood Qi rising like smoke reaching towards the sky, approached the first stone gate of their respective Trial Paths. They glanced at each other and nodded, beginning their trials.

With almost no resistance, the three Ancient Heroes quickly penetrated through the first Five Layers of Trial Gates, unstoppable in their spectacular prowess.

Now, during the Fifth Trial Gate, they were bathed in a partial shower of radiant light, their bodies absorbing these wondrous light droplets. Each droplet possessed indescribably magical effects, giving them a fantastic sensation of soaring high, leading them all to exclame in awe, "Didn’t expect the Trial Gates to grant such gifts; truly incredible."

They could feel the magical power of the light rain, which was neither the usual nature’s spiritual energy nor the Heavenly Earth Power, but a more wondrous power imbued with a mysterious force carrying the essence of Dao Rhythm. It enhanced their five senses and six perceptions, purified their essence, energy, and spirit, moving everything a step towards greater strength.

This made them increasingly curious about the true origins of the Trial Gates, which came from prehistoric Divine Items.

At this moment, Ye Chen made his move. While everyone else’s attention was on the Ancient Heroes, he moved to the other side of the mountain where another row of Trial Gates materialized before him.

Pushing open the first stone gate, its cold, substantial texture felt incredibly real, causing one to question whether this was another row of Trial Gates conjured up or actually existing.

Just like the other Ancient Heroes, Ye Chen entered the Trial Gates without any difficulty, directly breaking through the first five levels and receiving a radiant bath of light rain at the Fifth Trial Gate.

His pores opened wide, absorbing the light rain, feeling his essence, energy, and spirit greatly enhnaced. Radiant light spouted from his pores, and the Primordial Spirit Light at his brow shone brightly.

Despite having suspected it, he was still somewhat surprised upon confirmation, "This is... Primordial Spirit Spiritual Energy, I didn’t expect it to be this kind of power."

The human body cultivates with nature’s spiritual energy, while the Primordial Spirit also grows by absorbing Primordial Spirit Spiritual Energy.

However, this energy is exceedingly rare and valuable, not as readily available as the usual nature’s spiritual energy, so much so that many Martial Gods may not absorb it even once in their lifetimes.

Ye Chen never expected to encounter it here, nor to be able to absorb it, benefiting his Primordial Spirit unimaginably.

Instantly, his Primordial Spirit Light grew many times brighter, resembling a small sun, radiating powerful oscillations around him, which made him marvel. He then approached the Sixth Level of Trial.

With a simple shake of his arms, the eighty-thousand-pound Trial Gate was effortlessly pushed open. More Primordial Spirit Spiritual Energy sprinkled out, all absorbed by his Primordial Spirit, resulting in a brighter and more crystalline form. His five senses and six perceptions were comprehensively enhanced.

"That’s great. With more Primordial Spirit Spiritual Energy, my Primordial Spirit could become much stronger."

As far as Primordial Spirit Spiritual Energy was concerned, the more, the better.

Ye Chen forcefully pushed through the Seventh Trial Gate.

Meanwhile, on the opposite side of the plaza, the three Ancient Heroes almost simultaneously broke through the Sixth Level of Trial, receiving more baptisms of Primordial Spirit Spiritual Energy, enhancing their essence, energy, and spirit in a distinct ceremony of advancement.

"Too fast, just like a hot knife through butter. Is this the true power of Ancient Heroes? The Sixth Level of Trial can hardly hold them back."

People marveled at such astonishing breakthrough speeds, truly worthy of being considered the most spectacular Heavenly Pride throughout the ages by all the super forces.

The three Ancient Heroes lingered only briefly, having absorbed most of the light rain formed by Primordial Spirit Spiritual Energy. They didn’t completely refine it because it was time to aim for the final level. Each one of them strove vigorously, not willing to let Long Guao monopolize the glory.

Boom, boom, boom —

With several loud explosions almost simultaneously, the three Ancient Heroes successfully pushed open the Seventh Level of Trial. A vast expanse of Divine Radiance completely engulfed them. This was the gift from the Trial Gates, the Divine Radiance misting around, making each one appear as if about to ascend in brilliant illumination. Their whole beings radiated a powerful aura, surpassing their former selves.
