True Martial World - Chapter 886: Battling the Ancient Fey

What unfolded in front of Yi Yun was a desolate grass plain. Tall grass that reached his hips endlessly stretched throughout the plain.

Other than Yi Yun, everyone else had disappeared, even the Luo Divine Hall had disappeared.

"Choose the Ancient Fey you want to battle!" A voice suddenly pierced through Yi Yun's mind.

At the same time, information regarding the Ancient Fey was injected into his mind.

More than a hundred Ancient Fey of all shapes and sizes appeared.

Yi Yun even saw the three-legged Golden Crow and the Nine Neonate amongst them.

The three-legged Golden Crow and Nine Neonate were considered two of the more powerful Ancient Fey. Yi Yun had a good understanding of them since they were his Aspect Totems.

However… just understanding them was not very useful.

After all, all the Heaven Fey, who entered the Fey Refining Rock, had their own corresponding Ancient Fey ancestors. They obviously understood their own ancestors very well. Yet, it remains to be seen who had defeated an Ancient Fey.

Furthermore, if he chose an Ancient Fey that cultivated in the same laws as him, the amount of damage that he could inflict would be greatly limited if he were to use those laws. For example, if Yi Yun wanted to use pure Yang laws to kill a three-legged Golden Crow?

Difficult!

The three-legged Golden Crow's pure Yang laws would only surpass Yi Yun’s!

Defeating an Ancient Fey, even if it was just a soul essence, was something very difficult for the present Yi Yun.

"I choose… the Ranyi Fish!"

The Ranyi Fish was the ancestor of the Xushui Ran clan.

The Ranyi Fish was not considered very powerful amongst the Ancient Fey. Furthermore, after having a vendetta with the Xushui Ran clan, he had an understanding of the Ranyi Fish.

By choosing an Ancient Fey that he was familiar with and one that was countered by pure Yang laws, it would make things easier for him.

After Yi Yun made his choice, the vast grass plains disappeared and it changed into a roaring sea. Floating above the sea surface, a strange fish appeared out of the sea. It had a snake's head and a fish's body. It had six legs and two rows of sharp teeth.

"In thirty seconds, the battle will begin. Choose your weapon freely! Self-brought weapons, puppets, pills are not to be used." The voice boomed again.

Following that, several kinds of weapons appeared in Yi Yun's perception. However, all the weapons were of the same quality.

In addition to not being able to use pills and puppets, this battle was truly considered fair for everyone.

"The pure Yang broken sword, the Sun Shooting Nine Deaths Bow and the God Advent Tower can not be used!" Yi Yun gasped slightly.

All the treasures he had was considered top-grade, especially the God Advent Tower. During the battle of the Black-armored Demon God, it had played an important role, but now it could not be used. Furthermore, his opponent was an Ancient Fey spirit essence. Such a battle was too difficult.

"Whew!"

A sword with a metallic luster appeared in Yi Yun's hand. When Yi Yun injected his Yuan Qi into it, he realized that other than the sword being hard, it did not gain any augmentation from his Yuan Qi.

Sinking his thoughts, his spiritual energy interfaced with the Black-armored Demon God puppet, but he discovered that the connection had been severed. Only the Draco First True Gold remained available.

The Draco First True Gold could still be used?

Yi Yun was slightly surprised. Upon careful thought, it was understandable. The Draco First True Gold possessed a part of his soul, so in terms of aura, it was identical to Yi Yun.

The Fey Refining Rock array probably banned all treasures without any life to it. Since an avatar was also part of his strength, it was not excluded.

At that moment, the Ranyi Fish let out a scream. It opened its humongous mouth and spat out a blue water column. The water column dispersed in the sky and it split into droplets of water that shot straight at Yi Yun.

The clear water droplets contained tremendous power in them. Each of them was as hard as divine metal, and they were powerful killing devices!

Yi Yun retreated in a hurry as he slashed outwards!

"Cha! Cha! Cha!"

His sword beams interweaved into a net as they struck the water droplets, bursting them apart. However, after they exploded, they did not dissipate. Instead, they coagulated very quickly. As for Yi Yun's sword beams, they only pierced through the gaps between the droplets, not affecting them at all.

A sword could not stop the flow of water, and as a water-based Ancient Fey, the Ranyi Fish was equally proficient in water laws. It coagulated the water droplets that attacked Yi Yun from every direction.

Thousand Snow Domain!

With a thought, a sea of flying sabers formed around him.

They were not the Thousand Snow flying sabers as all Yi Yun could use was an ordinary saber array. Although the quality of the sabers was weaker, the conjuring of the saber array still remained powerful.

The water droplets were once again sliced through!

The wantonly dancing saber beams sliced the countless water droplets into a water mist. However, Yi Yun knew very well that the water mist would immediately coagulate. He had very little time for himself.

"Sou!"

Yi Yun's body shot forward like an arrow. He used the hundredth of a second that the water droplets needed to coagulate, and charged through the water mist to attack the Ranyi Fish!

To kill the Ranyi Fish, he needed to strike its body!

Just as Yi Yun approached the Ranyi Fish, it opened its jaws and attempted to bite Yi Yun!

At the instant when the Ranyi Fish opened its mouth, a raw and fishy wind emitted from it. It did not resemble a phantom image in any way. It was like a true Ancient Fey. This was probably the effects of being constructed by a soul essence.

Die!

Yi Yun circulated the 'Great Empress Heart Sutra' as all his pure Yang power burst out. A burning strike that resembled the sun slashed out!

This strike contained the Pure Yang Sword Palace's sword intent. The single strike caused the sky to change colors!

The sea in which the Ranyi Fish was lurking was split apart by Yi Yun's strike. A blue ravine seemed to open up as the water surface rose up like cliffs. Large amounts of seawater began to pour down like a waterfall.

"Cha!"

Blood splattered!

The Ranyi Fish had been injured by Yi Yun's strike!

However, at the moment that the sword beam pierced through the Ranyi Fish's body, Yi Yun's heart skipped a beat. He sensed that at the moment that the sword beam pierced through the Ranyi Fish, its innards seem to dodge the strike like a water flow. The beam did not truly injure the Ranyi Fish's vital organs.

Was this an effect of water laws as well!?

Yi Yun did not have time to consider this. The injured Ranyi Fish still possessed terrifying offensive power. It opened its mouth and spat out a blue sword, formed completely from water laws.

At such a close distance and the sword's extremely fast speed, it was nearly impossible to dodge!

"Peng!"

There was a flash as the Draco First True Gold appeared in front of Yi Yun. It held a saber in its hand to block the sword strike, but the terrifying power still sent the Draco First True Gold flying backward.

The Ranyi Fish's fish came biting once again. Just as it was about to bite Yi Yun's head, Yi Yun slanted his head.

"Whew!"

999 Thousand Snow flying sabers formed a silver band where Yi Yun's head previously was, shooting out straight into the Ranyi Fish's mouth!

As the flying saber pierced through the Ranyi Fish's fish throat, Yi Yun could feel that strange feeling again. The Ranyi Fish's body was like water. Its flesh dispersed to the sides like water. Although the flying saber had pierced through it, causing blood to spill, it was not severely injured.

"This defensive strength… "

Yi Yun's heart sank. Indeed, every Ancient Fey had something terrifying about them. There had been so many Luo clan and White Fox clan geniuses who failed at killing a single Ancient Fey. With so many failures, it was obvious how difficult it was.

Yi Yun knew very well that he too would not win if he were in their shoes.

...

At that moment, outside the Fey Refining Rock array, Elder Shi and Elder Duanmu were looking at the largest Fey Refining Rock in silence.

As the controllers of the arrays, Elder Shi and Elder Duanmu could obviously see what was going on. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

However, Fairy Red Fox could not. Although she could not see what was happening, she was not worried about the Shadow Twins at all. However, on the Luo clan's side, it was different. If it was the successor of a Supremacy, it was probably still worth watching, but if it were anyone else, the person would probably be greatly lacking.

Fairy Red Fox asked with a smile, "Elders, what do you see. Can you tell me?"

Elder Duanmu's eyelids moved as he said, "The battles are very intense. Many of them are close to their limits."

"Heh heh heh!" Fairy Red Fox laughed seductively. "It's not bad to be able to last this long. It seems that the Luo clan disciples you sent out this time are still not bad. I wonder how the two little girls on my side are doing?"

Fairy Red Fox's tone annoyed Elder Duanmu extremely.

Fairy Red Fox was a junior to Duanmu at best, so he was obviously displeased of a junior acting so smugly in front of him.

Furthermore… she had the things to back her smugness.

Elder Duanmu slightly frowned as he said, "Nongying and Nongyue have each killed an Ancient Fey… "

When Elder Duanmu said this, all the disciples were confounded.

Already killed one!?

The people before had all failed. They could only be graded based on the length of time that they lasted. The person who lasted the longest did not last past six minutes. And now, at just three minutes, the Shadow Twins had each killed an Ancient Fey!?

The... gap was just too huge.

The faces of the geniuses present turned ugly. They felt it jarring!

Everyone was an elite, but why were they so far from Nongying and Nongyue?

Upon hearing Elder Duanmu's reply, Fairy Red Fox said with a smile, "Nongying and Nongyue are skilled at combined attacks. By separating them, their combat power will decline greatly. Killing an Ancient Fey in three minutes is still passable."

True Martial World - Chapter 885: Difficulty

Less than half a year had passed since Yi Yun arrived in the 12 Empyrean Heavens. Yi Yun did not know what level his actual combat had reached.

However, reason told him that actual combat was his weakness.

As Yi Yun had the Purple Crystal, he had a great advantage in the Desolate Heaven technique and his nomological insights far exceeded the common members of the Fey race.

But for actual combat…

Even at Mt. Azure Billow, Yi Yun had defeated Luo Tian and Ran Yu without using his true combat ability.

Yi Yun glanced at Jian Zhu. Taking him as an example, he had accompanied a Supremacy since he was young. He obtained the personal guidance of a Supremacy and he had cultivated top cultivation techniques. The pills and relics he used were top-grade. Even the people who sparred with Jian Zhu were great talents. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

By growing up in such an environment, Jian Zhu's strength was understandably strong!

Compared to himself, he started in the Cloud Wilderness and only began cultivating at the age of twelve. In the first few years of cultivation, the cultivation resources that were available to him were extremely mediocre. His horizons and the things he encountered could not be compared to the 12 Empyrean Heavens.

Of course, with the Purple Crystal, Yi Yun was able to experience certain opportunities Jian Zhu might not have, but to convert that to actual strength needed time.

"Do you find it difficult?" Gu Qing cocked his head and asked Yi Yun. Yi Yun noticed that Gu Qing did not seem relaxed.

Gu Qing was also a famous figure himself, but in front of the top geniuses of the Luo clan and White Fox clan, Gu Qing felt somewhat disheartened.

"Fight it out and put in your greatest effort! The Luo Divine Hall trials will last very long. It's only the beginning."

Yi Yun was not anxious. He was not even forty years of age yet. His martial path had just opened up. A moment's loss was nothing.

At that moment, there were people who had already entered the Fey Refining Rock.

There were a total of about forty Fey Refining Rock in Astral Palace. The main rock in the middle was the size of a house.

Twenty people could go in at the time. As they stood in front of the largest Fey Refining Rock, a beam from the Fey Refining Rock immediately absorbed twenty people as a whole.

"Oh? Even the body is absorbed in. Looks like it's not a consciousness battle, but a true physical battle… "

Most of the elites present were waiting for the battle outcomes of these twenty people. Many of them were eager to battle an Ancient Fey so that they could make a name for himself.

Regardless if it was Elder Shi's disdain for them or the identities of Princess White Fox and Jian Zhu, they had stimulated the competitive streak amongst these young elites.

They were all proud children of heaven, so they had pride in their hearts.

A successor of a Supremacy was powerful, but the final outcome needed to be compared. Even if they truly lost, they did not want to lose too badly.

Just as everyone was having various thoughts.

"Peng!"

With a dull thud, a Luo clan disciple was expelled in about thirty seconds after entering the Fey Refining Rock!

He slammed heavily onto the ground as his face turned pale.

"Fail."

Elder Duanmu seemed to value his words with gold, so he did not even say an additional word.

This Luo clan disciple did not even manage to kill an Ancient Fey phantom image. He only lasted for about thirty seconds.

The gap was just too great.

One did not mean much, but following that…

"Bam! Bam! Bam!"

One trial-taker after another was expelled. It was not limited to the Luo clan disciples. Even trial-takers from the White Fox clan did not create any miracles. After lasting for about five minutes, they were also expelled out of the rock!

After all, the White Fox had chosen the elites from their clan to participate in the Luo clan's trials. Those who were chosen were naturally not too bad. Those who were just chosen to make up the numbers were probably left in their own clans.

However, despite being handpicked, these people did not defeat the first Ancient Fey soul essence.

"All the twenty who had entered the Fey Refining Rock first have failed!" Elder Shi calmly announced the outcome.

Clearly, the outcome was within his expectations.

"All… All of them failed. Even Lin Yu has failed. She only lasted for about three minutes… She is the top genius of the five states in the southwest. It was believed that Lin Yu would be able to dazzle at the Luo Divine Hall trials, but who knew… that she would fail right at the beginning."

The Luo clan disciple who spoke also came from the five states in the southwest. He was confident of himself, but after seeing Lin Yu fail so miserably, he was dumbfounded.

He did not know how strong a Supremacy's successor was, but he knew very well of Lin Yu's strength.

He knew that he was much weaker than Lin Yu. If Lin Yu only managed to endure for five minutes, he would most likely not be able to last more than three minutes, let alone defeat the first Ancient Fey.

Many people had such thoughts when they saw this. Everyone believed that they were extraordinary and that a miracle would happen to them. However, reason told them that it was highly unlikely that they would even clear the first stage.

After the first batch of disciples exited, the second batch of disciples was up. Yi Yun saw a familiar person amongst the crowd — Luo Fengling.

There were too many people who were qualified to participate in the Luo Divine Hall trials. Yi Yun, Gu Qing and company were of higher status than ordinary disciples. They were situated in front of the group. As for Luo Fengling, Luo Tian and company, they were mixed in the group. And because of this, Yi Yun was able to notice Luo Fengling.

Luo Fengling smiled at Yi Yun. She did not have any hopes of creating a miracle. She knew very well that there was always someone better and that she was still far from the mark.

"If you are able to persist on, it's best to last as long as possible. Those who can persist longer than five minutes would be given more opportunities in this trial. If you can't even last five minutes, you might not be able to obtain a thing from this trial."

Seeing many disciples appear uneasy, a rare instance of Elder Duanmu's tone turning soft happened.

Five minutes…

In the previous test, only one out of twenty people managed to last five minutes!

Even lasting five minutes appeared extremely difficult.

"Fail!"

"Fail!"

"Fail!"

Elder Duanmu constantly said the same word. Up to now, not a single person had managed to threaten an Ancient Fey soul essence.

...

"All have failed. Next batch!"

In a blink of an eye, another few dozen people were eliminated.

Few could even last five minutes, let alone kill an Ancient Fey.

With the passage of time, most of the disciple had entered the Fey Refining Rock. Following that was the time for the true elites of the Luo clan and White Fox clan.

"It's your turn. Do not be too disappointing." Elder Duanmu said with an indifferent expression.

Fairy Red Fox giggled, "Hehe, your Luo clan's Fey Refining Rock array is more difficult than my White Fox clan's. But even so, I believe Elder Duanmu would not be disappointed any further. Nongying, Nongyue, go on up!"

Fairy Red Fox nonchalantly chose the twins.

Nongying! Nongyue! The White Fox clan's Shadow Twins!

Elder Duanmu frowned slightly. He knew very well that at this Luo Divine Hall trials, the Luo clan was very likely going to lose to the White Fox clan. Firstly, this generation of the White Fox clan was very strong. Secondly, many of the elites of the Luo clan had been sent to the White Fox clan to participate in the White Fox clan's trials. Those left behind in the Luo Divine Hall were naturally inferior to the White Fox clan's elites.

However, despite knowing this, be it Elder Duanmu or Elder Shi, they would still be displeased if they really lost.

Elder Duanmu glanced at Jian Zhu. The only person left to hold the ground in the Luo clan was Jian Zhu alone!

However, the White Fox clan's geniuses were many in number. It was not even Princess White Fox's turn, but the Shadow Twins. After the Shadow Twins, there was Wufeng, whose strength was relatively similar to theirs.

It would be too early to use Jian Zhu at this point in time.

Upon thinking of this, Elder Duanmu looked at the rest. The upper echelons of the Luo clan had instructed that they were not to weaken their stance at the trials. Elder Duanmu also had a general understanding of the strength of all the elites present.

Sweeping his gaze across the Luo clan disciples, there was no one comparable to the Shadow Twins. They were all far too weak!

They were destined to lose this stage to the White Fox clan. It was an outcome without question.

"Forget it. We can only choose a general from among dwarves as long as we do not lose too badly."

With this thought in mind, Elder Duanmu nominated —

"Ran Xueyi! Donglin Yu! Gu Qing! Yi Yun! All of you, go on up!"

He was nominated.

Yi Yun exhaled deeply and he walked towards the Fey Refining Rock.

"The opponents are the Shadow Twins. Elder Duanmu nominated us probably for us to be cannon fodder." Beside Yi Yun, Gu Qing said with a wry smile.

Gu Qing usually thought highly of himself, but in front of the Shadow Twins, he could not feel any pride. He could only resign himself to fate and accept the reality.

Yi Yun declined to comment. He glanced deeply at the Shadow Twins, Nongying and Nongyue. They were both tall, not much shorter than he was. Their legs were long and straight as though they were measured against a ruler.

Their beauty was impeccable, and their bearing was extremely powerful. With the twins standing in front of the Fey Refining Rock, they became the focus of attention.

The two girls were truly unfathomable.

After coming to the Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven, Yi Yun had fought with too few people. He had only fought a few miscellaneous chores disciples at Mt. Fengling. He had yet to fight with true Ten Thousand Fey Empyrean Heaven geniuses. Yi Yun could not estimate how powerful they were.

Yi Yun truly did not have much confidence when it came to the true combat competition with the Shadow Twins.

Standing in front of the Fey Refining Rock, Nongyue glanced at Yi Yun. "You learned the footwork of me and my sister."

Nongyue appeared to bear a grudge with Yi Yun's learning of their footwork.

Uh…

Yi Yun was rendered speechless as he did not know how to respond.

Nongyue said again, "Your name is Yi Yun, right? Princess Xue'er had complimented your Desolate Heaven technique and even said that you might be a match of me and my sister at this trial. However… I do not believe so. Many elites would bear wasting time on the Desolate Heaven technique in their youth. Just being good at the Desolate Heaven technique is nothing. Strength is everything."

"I know your forte is nomological insights. At the Luo Divine Hall trials, there will be a competition on laws. I will defeat you on the nomological insights that you pride yourself in!"

"Of course, all of this needs you to be able to last five minutes in the Fey Refining Rock array!"

After Nongyue said this, her elegant body flashed and disappeared into the Fey Refining Rock.

Yi Yun was rather speechless looking at Nongyue's back. He had only learned her footwork and he had been targeted. Of course, what Princess White Fox had previously said probably made Nongyue treat him as her opponent.

Upon thinking about this, Yi Yun glanced at Princess White Fox and took a step forward and stepped through the Fey Refining Rock.

With a flash, Yi Yun entered a completely unfamiliar space.

True Martial World - Chapter 884: Jian Zhu

Battle with a true Ancient Fey?

Although it was a wisp of soul essence, it was still enough to excite everyone. The young geniuses present were basically all Heaven Fey other than Yi Yun.

As descendants of the Ancient Fey, the Heaven Fey were proud of their blood heritage. At the same time, they would be excited about anything that had to do with Ancient Fey.

The eyes of many people lit up as fighting spirit shimmered!

All they had previously seen was the phantom images of Ancient Fey conjured using bloodlines. And now, they had an opportunity to interact with a true Ancient Fey soul essence. This combat experience was priceless!

Seeing that the elites present were so excited, Elder Shi did not think much of it as he said, "Inject your spiritual energies into the Fey Refining Rock, and the battle will begin. However, it is impossible for you to gain victory in the battle. The Ancient Fey soul essence in the Fey Refining Rock will constantly be reborn. Every rebirth increases its strength by several times. The Ancient Fey soul essence can go under nineteen rebirths in total! And that is to say, if you can kill the Ancient Fey soul essence nineteen consecutive times, it would be equivalent to clearing the trial, but that is impossible!" Elder Shi said indifferently.

The young elites present frowned slightly when they heard this.

Impossible?

Although they also knew that they had a long way ahead on their martial paths, they still felt under the weather when they were completely denied by others.

Especially with Elder Shi's expression, it was as though he could not be bothered to speak another word. It was as though most of the young elites present were ants to him, not worthy of his attention.

"If the Ancient Fey soul essence can be killed eighteen times, how powerful would it be at the nineteenth time?" Yi Yun cocked his head and asked Gu Qing.

Elder Shi's words had sparked his curiosity.

Gu Qing shook his head and said, "I only know that the Fey Refining Rocks are difficult to clear, but I have no idea how difficult the nineteenth round is either… "

Just as Gu Qing spoke, a pleasant-sounding voice resounded, "At the nineteenth time, it's probably when one approaches the level of a Supremacy would one be able to beat it, I guess."

Many people heard this when it was said.

Everyone felt a jolt.

Approach the level of a Supremacy!?

That is way too ridiculous!

"Or it should be said that everything from the fifth round onwards is not prepared for us."

The person who spoke was the black-dressed youth. His face was slightly pale, and his eyes were black with a luster. He had short hair and he had a white bone sword on his back that appeared blunt. There was a bird on his shoulder as well.

This person was the mysterious youth from the Luo clan. Other than Luo Mo, no one present knew him.

"Typically, a person who can kill the first Ancient Fey soul essence's incarnation at the moment they step into the Primordial Empyrean Heaven is extremely rare. In fact, most people will be repelled out of the Fey Refining Rock at the moment they enter. Even at the end of the eighteenth year, they would barely be able to kill it once or twice." The mysterious youth spoke, and as he did so, he gave Princess White Fox a glance.

Without a doubt, Princess White Fox was the strongest person amongst everyone present!

"It's this girl that Master specially pointed out. He said that she would be my greatest opponent… " The mysterious youth said in his mind.

After arriving in the Primordial Empyrean Heaven, his Master had transmitted his voice into his ear, telling him to pay attention to this fox-eared girl in white.

Furthermore, other than his Master wanting him to do his best to surpass her, he had also added — "Whatever will be, will be. There is no need to be disheartened."

It was as though losing to her was normal. This had ignited the refusal of defeat in this mysterious youth's heart.

He would like to see how many times Princess White Fox could kill the Ancient Fey soul essence.

"This... Young Brother, may I ask who you are… ?" Gu Qing could not resist asking.

He was also a member of the Luo clan, but he had never heard of this person. It was as though he had appeared out of thin air.

And most critical of all, this black-dressed youth appeared pretty impressive. Be it his stance or knowledge, he had completely surpassed him.

"Me? I'm Jian Zhu, Supremacy Gulan's personal disciple. As I have always been cultivating with Master, I seldom am in the royal capital." The mysterious youth said in a carefree manner.

His identity was not something that needed to be kept a secret.

"Supremacy Gulan's disciple?" Gu Qing instantly felt choked.

The surrounding young elites from the Luo clan were also dumbfounded when they heard this.

They had already guessed that his pedigree was extremely high, but they had never expected him to be a Supremacy's disciple!

There were very few Supremacies in the Luo clan. They only knew a handful of names of the Supremacies. Even if the reclusive existences were added, it was a number no more than two digits.

Most Supremacies had become ascetics, and did not meddle with the political matters of the royal capital. They and the royal court were two different systems.

These Supremacies were the true foundation of the Luo clan!

There were extremely stringent restrictions for a Supremacy to take in a disciple, especially a personal disciple. They were far and few in number. After all, a personal disciple would inherit their mantle. All sorts of top resources would be spent on the personal disciple generously.

A Supremacy's fortune was not unlimited either. They had to be very meticulous in taking in a personal disciple. There might even be Supremacies who only took in one personal disciple their entire lives. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

The status of a Supremacy's personal disciple was understandable. It was no wonder that Luo Mo was so respectful to the youth.

After knowing the mysterious youth's identity, Ran Xueyi and Donglin Yu looked each other in the eye. They could only give a wry smile.

Their titles as the 'royal capital's four great young masters' were a joke in front of Jian Zhu.

The so-called royal capital's four young masters would change every few decades, so it was practically useless. As for a Supremacy... their Xushui Ran clan and Donglin clan had not produced a Supremacy in the past few millenniums.

If the top few family clans in the Luo clan were as such, there was obviously no need to mention the other family clans.

"Supremacy Gulan's personal disciple… "

Princess White Fox looked at the black-dressed youth with a tiny bird on his shoulder. She was somewhat astonished, but that was all to it.

The White Fox clan also had personal disciples of Supremacies. However, even the personal disciples of Supremacies were slightly inferior to her.

The status of a royal progeny was also determined by one's talent and strength.

Supremacies might seem out of reach to others, but for Princess White Fox, she could easily interact with them. She had received advice from Supremacies as well.

"Begin attempting the trial. The Fey Refining Rock arrays can accommodate twenty disciples a time. You can use your thoughts to choose the Ancient Fey that you want to challenge. The form of the Ancient Fey is not important, because regardless of the form, the Ancient Fey's strength are similar."

"From the third round of killing the Ancient Fey onwards, you will receive rewards! The rewards will be weapons or treasured materials. From the fourth kill onwards, you can obtain core heritage of the Luo clan, as well as Ancient Fey bones!"

At that moment, Elder Duanmu spoke. The words he said gave everyone a burning desire to do battle.

It was difficult, but the rewards made their blood boil with excitement.

Even Yi Yun also felt slightly stirred. Ancient Fey bone!

He had previously absorbed a single Ancient Fey bone, which had great benefits to his body and bloodline.

Yi Yun's bloodline and physique were still too weak, so an Ancient Fey bone was like a timely gift.

However… that would need him to kill the Ancient Fey soul essence four or even five times!

True Martial World - Chapter 883: Ancient Fey Soul Remnant

The Shadow Twins had always been outstanding in the White Fox clan. As twin sisters, they had simultaneously awoken their Ancient Nine-Tailed Fox bloodline. Coupled with their pedigree and beauty, they were obviously highly sought after. Hence, under the present situation, those who could be praised by them were few and far between.

However, what Yi Yun had done had truly astonished them. The primordial universe's chaotic laws were like churning waves in the sea. The sea waves easily changed their shape, but if one wanted to attempt to use their feet to flatten the waves, that was nearly impossible.

Although Yi Yun's mimicry was relatively inchoate compared to the Shadow Twins, it was still extremely rare and valuable.

Furthermore, the more Yi Yun walked, the more plain-sailing it became for him. He was also slowly speeding up!

The White Fox clan geniuses that had previously mocked Yi Yun were momentarily at a loss for words when they saw the situation. They might have extremely strong combat ability, but they themselves knew that they could not use their feet to flatten the chaotic energies.

At that moment, Wufeng spoke, "Do not look down on the geniuses of the Luo clan. Although you are the cream of the crop in the White Fox clan, and this batch of juniors in the White Fox clan far exceeds the past, the Luo clan is also filled with talent. Don't forget that the Luo clan has existed for an even longer period of time. They have amassed a great foundation.

When the surrounding White Fox clan geniuses heard this, some of them fell silent while others were unconvinced.

"Being able to flatten the chaotic energies in the void is based on one's superiority in laws. Yi Yun is a human, so it is normal for him to be better than us on this. I heard that at a Luo clan collective training, his nomological insights were outstanding. However, what will be compared next is actual combat! Actual combat is what we are best at!"

"Right! Actual combat is everything. What's the use of laws alone!?"

The moment that actual combat was mentioned, the White Fox clan disciples immediately perked up. The Luo Divine Hall trials' final results depended on actual combat, which had the greatest weighting.

Wufeng did not speak. The Fey race was indeed proficient at actual combat. Even for Wufeng himself, nomological insights was his weakness, while actual combat was his strength.

In terms of actual combat, he was absolutely confident!

Of course, compared to Princess White Fox… he was completely no match for her.

Not only was Princess White Fox an instance of atavism, but she was also equally outstanding in laws, which the Fey race viewed as their weakness. She did not have any weaknesses!

If not for Princess White Fox being well-matched with Luo Huo'er, the White Fox prince would not have been so confident.

Upon thinking about this, Wufeng glanced at Princess White Fox, who wasn't too far away from him.

At that moment, Princess White Fox was looking at Yi Yun with a wistful look. Her eyes were concentrated on Yi Yun's toes. Her eyes were very pure, like a bright surface of a lake. Every ripple formed by Yi Yun's feet was clearly reflected in her pupils.

"Nongyin, if this was the first time that you came to the Primordial Empyrean Heaven, will you be able to do what he did?"

Nongying was the elder sister of the Shadow Twins, while the younger sister's name was Nongyue.

Nongying frankly shook her head and said, "No."

Just as Nongying said this, the red-dressed woman beside her spoke. The red-dressed woman was leading the White Fox clan on this expedition — Fairy Red Fox.

"Xue'er, that sort of footwork was created by Nongying and Nongyue with trial and error. The difficulty of pioneering is much higher than imitating. Yi Yun is only imitating." Fairy Red Fox gave Yi Yun a deep glance and said, "Of course, he is much stronger than I originally imagined."

"That's right. He's only imitating us." Nongyue, the younger sister, said with a slight frown. Yi Yun's imitation of their actions made Nongyue rather displeased. "If he has the ability, he should pioneer a footwork that belongs to himself. If so, I'll have a high opinion of him. If not, he's just a person who imitates!"

"Ordinary people might not be able to do so even if they want to imitate." Princess White Fox shook her head.

With the Luo clan and White Fox clan disciples gathered, the Luo Divine Hall trials also began.

And at that moment, the two spirit cruisers of the White Fox and Luo clan lifted off simultaneously. It flew away from the land mass where the Luo Divine Hall was. With that, the two spirit cruisers tunneled through the void, and before long, they used Void Transference to vanish completely.

"His Supremacy has left."

"He will come to pick us up in eighteen year’s time."

Seeing the two spirit cruisers disappear, the elites present had mixed emotions. The White Fox clan most likely had another Supremacy powering the spirit cruiser. If not, they would not have been able to break through the spatial barrier of the Primordial Empyrean Heaven.

And from beginning to the end, they had not seen the White Fox clan's Supremacy disembark from the spirit cruiser. Other than Princess White Fox and a few others, the rest did not know who the Supremacy that powered the spirit cruiser was.

A few of the Luo clan geniuses had managed to catch a glimpse of Supremacy Gulan only because of Empress Xuan. After all, there was a battle for the throne, so Empress Xuan had personally sent off the geniuses into the spirit cruiser. Supremacy Gulan had given the empress face and he had shown his face for a fleeting moment.

Following that, they did not even get to see Supremacy Gulan.

Ultimately, the difference between them was too great. Be it the White Fox clan geniuses or the Luo clan geniuses, they were unqualified to have a Supremacy pay attention to them. Supremacy Gulan had lived for tens of thousands of years, and he had to send a batch of disciples to the Primordial Empyrean Heaven every sixty years. He had seen many so-called 'geniuses', so many that he was already numb to them.

But in fact, the number of geniuses who would truly mature were rare. A general calculation was that even the person who came first in the Luo Divine Hall trials had a one in ten thousand chance of becoming a Supremacy!

Hence, most major clans would cast a wide net when nurturing their young geniuses. Through tens of thousands of times of hard work being used to nurture millions of good saplings, having one of them mature was sufficient.

Many of the elites present understood this, but understanding was one thing, if they truly thought of it, their pride would still receive a setback.

For them to mature from a young age made them a remarkable existence. But in the backdrop of the entire clan, they were just one in several million. How could they feel reconciled with the fact of being belittled by others?

Hard work!

They had to produce good results!

Everyone was led by the Luo Divine Hall Elders as they flew towards the Luo Divine Hall.

Upon landing, they saw the main palace and the surrounding towers, which immediately made these disciples feel tiny.

It was too magnificent, as though they were mountains that sprouted out of the ground.

The stone slates that lined the ground were also different from the Luo clan royal capital's. The material was unknown, but for them to last so long under the chaotic laws, they had to be extremely robust.

Looking up at the Luo Divine Hall made it even more spectacular. It had levels after levels that linked it to the sky.

"Go in." Elder Shi coldly said.

The first level of the Luo Divine Hall was extremely wide. It could accommodate more than ten thousand people. Despite the large group of disciples entering, it still appeared extremely spacious.

The vast grounds spun like gorgeous stars. Looking up, it was complete darkness. Everyone seemed to be standing alone in the universe, in the void of nothingness.

And at different positions around these stars were dozens of gigantic rocks.

These gigantic rocks emanated splendid chaotic auras, as though they were in constant flux. They did not appear real.

"This is the front hall of the Luo Divine Hall, called Astral Palace." The bearded Elder Duanmu said. Elder Shi did not appear like he had the patience to introduce such matters.

"Your first trial will be held here. Once this hall is closed, it will not be opened again. You will not be able to find an exit." The bearded Elder said with a rare smile. "None of you have ever battled an Ancient Fey before, right?"

The disciples pricked up their eyebrows as some of them honestly answered, "No."

"Then, all of you will soon have a chance." As the bearded Elder spoke, he flung an incantation onto one of the gigantic rocks.

A trail of light flashed past the stellar backdrop and following that, a growl was suddenly heard from the darkness above their heads.

This growl went straight to their hearts!

Following that, drastic changes occurred as black gases gathered together into clouds, and in a blink of an eye, a gigantic head appeared.

The head poked out of the darkness as a humongous eye glanced nonchalantly at the disciples below with a scarlet flash in its eyes.

Upon seeing this head, the disciples felt as though their hearts had been wrenched.

Dragon! A true Fey dragon!

Yi Yun was also greatly taken aback. Back in Black Wind Valley's training, he had only encountered a land contaminated by a rotting Fey dragon after its death. And now, what he was facing was a true dragon itself.

Bam!

The gigantic dragon flew down and it landed on the ground. Its massive body resembled a mountain. Its breathing made many disciples involuntarily tense up.

"The Primordial Empyrean Heaven is a world that failed to take form! Not only do the astronomical bodies or great worlds fail to take form, even an Ancient Fey born in primal times can fail in its evolution too!"

"Most of the Ancient Fey who fail to evolve would turn to ash under the immense river of time. However, there will be some who leave behind their soul essence that get wrapped in the most primordial gases of Chaos. This allows them to last till the present day!"

"Our Luo clan has collected a few Ancient Fey soul essence to establish this palace!"

Elder Duanmu's words caused Yi Yun to secretly falter.

Not only could a world fail to take form, even an Ancient Fey could fail to evolve. This allowed the production of valuable Ancient Fey soul essences.

These Ancient Fey soul essence were restored through the use of the Luo clan’s array formations. It allowed the depiction of such an incredibly realistic divine dragon.

"This Ancient Fey soul essence isn't unique to the Luo clan, right?" Yi Yun asked Gu Qing in a low voice.

Gu Qing nodded and said, "Naturally, our Luo clan only occupies a portion of the Primordial Empyrean Heaven. These Ancient Fey soul essences can be owned by other clans and Fey countries. For example, the White Fox clan's White Fox trials are very similar to our Luo Divine Hall trials."

Yi Yun nodded. Both clans were in the Primordial Empyrean Heaven, so the resources they possessed were fairly identical. Hence, it was understandable that the trials they created were also similar.

Yi Yun took another look at the divine dragon. The Ancient Fey phantom image conjured by the array formation had the soul essence of an Ancient Fey that failed in its evolution imbued into it. Its powers were obviously incomparable to a true dragon, but it was definitely not easily beaten.

At that moment, Elder Shi spoke.

"The gigantic rocks in front of you are known as Fey Refining Rocks. They are similarly produced from the Primordial Empyrean Heaven. Such special divine rocks can seal the soul essence of an Ancient Fey that failed in its evolution and store them for along time. It is also one of the heritage cornerstones of our Luo clan!"

As Elder Shi spoke, Elder Duanmu dispersed the incantation on the Fey Refining Rock. Following that, the conjured dragon dissipated into countless points of light.

Elder Duanmu added on, "From now, we will begin testing your actual combat. Everyone will enter the array formation and battle with the Ancient Fey soul essence in the Fey Refining Rock. I will be outside here and watch how well you will fight!"

True Martial World - Chapter 882: Mimicking

The White Fox clan man who spoke immediately attracted the attention of many, this was because he was especially unique.

He was tall and burly, and there was a heavy weapon on his back. From the shape of it, it resembled a heavy sword.

The man's face was chiseled and his eyes were like two sharp blades. He had a faint scar in between his eyebrows, which looked like ivory. Standing there, he emanated an overwhelming foul bloodthirsty aura!

This foul aura would only appear on people who had their hands stained with a great deal of blood. Clearly, this man had experienced several life and death battles and he had traversed the realms of both life and death.

How was such a man in the White Fox clan?

Ignoring his foul bloodthirsty aura, just his appearance alone definitely made him an extremely masculine man, even in the Luo clan. He was completely different from the effeminate men in the White Fox clan.

The White Fox clan had such a person?

"I am."

Yi Yun stood at the exit of the Luo clan's spirit cruiser. He had yet to disembark from the spirit cruiser, and when he locked eyes with the sword-bearing man, Yi Yun felt that the other person's aura was extraordinary.

The sword-bearing youth was somewhat special.

The Shadow Twins, together with the sword-bearing youth, allowed the White Fox clan to showcase their strength even before the trials began. It was already quite amazing.

"My name is Wufeng!" The sword-bearing man announced his name as he looked deeply into Yi Yun's eyes.

Yi Yun was not surprised to be suddenly questioned by members of the White Fox clan. It was highly likely that most people in the White Fox clan had heard of his name…

The reason was none other than the confrontation between Luo Huo'er and Bai Yueqing.

Yi Yun slightly cocked his head and looked at Princess White Fox. In the White Fox clan, Princess White Fox enjoyed a lofty status, a status not inferior to Luo Huo'er.

"He's Yi Yun?"

Wufeng's reaction was rather plain, but for the other disciples of the White Fox clan, they did not remain calm when they heard Yi Yun's name.

"So he is the one who declared that our White Fox clan's Princess White Fox was not worthy to be his travel partner?"

"His cultivation level is at the beginning stages of the Heaven Ascension realm. His foundation is passable, but his physique is extremely weak. He would have been annihilated by me if he was in the White Fox clan for daring to speak so arrogantly."

"Do you think that he truly doesn't want to partner with our princess in her travels? He probably yearns for it deeply, but knows that it's impossible so he put on an arrogant front. However, to be able to act arrogant, one has to have the appropriate strength and status. He doesn't have any of that."

A few of the male White Fox clan youths discussed in whispers as they sized up Yi Yun without any reservations. Their perceptions blanketed Yi Yun as they checked his foundation and lifeblood strength.

They had heard of the matters over the past few days and they were incensed over the matter. They wanted to know what the arrogant man looked like.

Although the discussions were just quiet murmurs, their conversation could be heard by others. Princess White Fox frowned slightly and turned around. She glanced at those youths that were speaking, a displeased look on her face.

"The Luo Divine Hall trials have just begun. Our every action and word represent the White Fox clan. By being verbally provocative before the trials, it does nothing but make others think lowly of us." Princess White Fox sent a voice transmission.

The few White Fox youths choked up, and they did not dare to refute her.

"Your Highness, your teachings are sensible. Words mean nothing. When the trials begin, we will let that arrogant fellow know the strength of our White Fox clan."

They knew about the bet about the trials between Luo Huo'er and Bai Yueqing. Bai Yueqing had also specially informed them of the importance of the trials. Other than the bet, if they were able to crush the Luo clan in the trials, they would also gain the upper hand in the upcoming forging of the alliance between the Luo clan and the White Fox clan!

Without a doubt, those who managed to obtain good results at the trial would make a name for themselves.

"Yi Yun, aren't you coming down?" At that moment, Wufeng said to Yi Yun.

In the land mass where the Luo Divine Hall was, the laws in the void were chaotic, making it difficult for the youths to fly. Previously, the Shadow Twins had worked together to stride down the void and calming the laws. It was truly fascinating.

Wufeng understood of Yi Yun's feats. He was very curious about a person who could use the seventy-two introductory moves to refine an 'outstanding' relic.

Instantly, many people were looking at Yi Yun.

Although many of the White Fox clan disciples frowned upon Yi Yun, it was still very easy to fly in the Primordial Empyrean Heaven.

Those with strong nomological insights would be able to find the gist of it instantly, allowing them to stabilize their footing.

Those with weaker laws would stagger from beginning to end, almost never finding balance.

They wanted to see how long Yi Yun would take to find his balance.

Yi Yun looked at the void outside the spirit cruiser. Musing slightly, he took his first step out.

When his center of gravity shifted out of the spirit cruiser, Yi Yun immediately saw the chaotic laws that belonged to the Primordial Empyrean Heaven.

The space here was filled with a variety of primordial energy.

Unformed energies of Yin-Yang, the five elements, the natural powers, spatial-temporal…

These energies surged into his body as they wantonly burst through his meridians.

If his nomological insight was insufficient, the myriad of energies that mixed into his bodies would result in him plummeting if he failed to control them, just like the other Luo clan disciples from before. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

Yi Yun's pace was not fast. He took one step after another. In the Purple Crystal's energy vision, the chaotic energy looked like countless disordered threads. Yi Yun stepped on the nexus points of these threads like he was walking a tightrope. It looked rather interesting to Yi Yun.

Walking stably was not difficult in fact, but with his energy vision, Yi Yun had several thoughts.

"Oh? What is that Yi Yun doing?"

People noticed that Yi Yun was walking very slowly in the void. Every step was taken very cautiously. His eyes were staring at his feet, as though he was walking along a cliff's edge, worried that he would fall at any time.

This strolling that looked like a snail's crawl could not be considered as elegant. Compared to Wufeng, Luo Mo and company, he was far inferior. They were able to find their balance in less than a second.

"Why is Yi Yun so slow at trying to adapt himself to the Primordial Empyrean Heaven's chaotic laws and maintain his balance?" A youth from the White Fox clan chuckled.

Just as he was about to deride Yi Yun, he was suddenly stunned. He noticed that there were faint ripples beneath Yi Yun's feet, just like the ripples the Shadow Twins had formed.

However, the ripples that Yi Yun created were much fainter. It looked like he had yet to proficiently grasp it, but even so, this astounded the youth that was about to speak.

"He's mimicking the Shadow Twins!" The youth from the White Fox clan said as his voice broke.

He never expected that Yi Yun was able to mimic the Shadow Twins in his first step into the Primordial Empyrean Heaven. It was quelling the chaotic and violent energies just by using their legs.

Furthermore, he actually managed to do it!

Although he did not do it in as collected a manner as the Shadow Twins, people knew that this was not the first time that the Shadow Twins had stepped into the Primordial Empyrean Heaven. They had been here before!

Beside Princess White Fox, the Shadow Twins were watching Yi Yun. A look of astonishment flashed on their identical faces as they said, "Princess, that Yi Yun truly has impressive perception!"

True Martial World - Chapter 881: Shadow Twins

At the Luo Divine Hall trials, the Luo clan and White Fox clan had exchanged quite a large number of elites.

A number of elites that Empress Luo had nurtured were sent to the White Fox clan.

As for the White Fox clan, it had sent an extremely strong lineup that accompanied Princess White Fox.

At the trials, it was not only a competition between Empress Luo and Empress Xuan, it was also a competition between the Luo and White Fox clan!

This destined the trial to be an intense competition!

At that moment, an arc of light shot out of the white spirit cruiser as its hull opened. Appearing from inside the hull were a group of lavishly dressed White Fox disciples. The male disciples made up no more than 20%, while the rest were all female disciples!

At a glance, there were dozens of White Fox clan beauties. Any one of them had beauty that could topple kingdoms!

The White Fox clan's ancestor was a powerful Ancient Fey, the Nine-tailed White Fox. Female White Fox that took human form had an inexplicable charm, and they were considered one of the most perfect beings in the world.

But now, this group of female disciples were one of the most elite girls amongst the White Fox's younger generation with the purest bloodlines. Their looks, bearing and figures were impeccable. The group of beauties that suddenly appeared had different charms. There were those with ample chests or those with slim waists. Some had long, slender fair legs, while others that did not look tall would be petite and adorable. Some had temperaments as cold as jade, as though they were lofty snow lotuses, and there were others that were sultry, and completely capable of bringing down a country to its knees.

Most of them wore fine silk-veiled clothing, and all of them standing together projected an astounding feeling.

Amongst the young male elites of the Luo clan, not everyone was a blessed son of heaven who were pursued by girls like Luo Mo. There were some relatively common male disciples. Being able to suddenly see a bevy of beauties in all styles, they were momentarily dazed when they vaguely made out the beauties' fair legs and arms through the thin veils.

Upon seeing the Luo clan's male disciples looking at them dumbfoundedly, there was a slight stir in the White Fox clan. They began giggling, with laughter as pleasant sounding as orioles birds.

"The White Fox clan indeed lives up to its fame as a charming species. These girls must have cultivated in some illusionary charming techniques. Their auras have already been fully integrated into their bodies. Even without exercising their charm, they can still influence the minds of people."

Yi Yun came to a conclusion upon seeing this scene. Ignoring the looks of the White Fox girls, just their reactions alone could stir up a male's dominating desires.

The long mustached Luo Divine Hall Elder frowned slightly. Emperor Luo had instructed him to lead the Luo Divine Hall trials. Although quite a number of Luo clan geniuses had been sent to the White Fox clan, he could not allow the Luo clan to embarrass itself.

He interrupted the dazed Luo clan youngsters present with a soft grunt. After a momentary surprise, they hurriedly focused their minds and looked somewhat embarrassed.

They had also realized that their reactions were quite embarrassing, and they had unknowingly fallen for the other party's tricks.

At that moment, a red-dressed beauty appeared at the entrance of the white spirit cruiser's hull. She had an ample bosom, and even with an extremely loose dress, there was no way it could hide her voluptuous figure that exuded a mature woman's charm.

"Hehehe, Elder Duanmu, why are you grunting? It's just a look, and the girls don't mind, so what's wrong with that? Furthermore, with the common enemy of the Fey Phantasm Sect, my White Fox clan's Sacred King and His Majesty Emperor Luo have the intentions to begin an alliance. In the future, wouldn't it be common for White Fox clan ladies to marry into the Luo clan?" The red-dressed woman said with a giggle.

Pandemonium seemed to happen as the voluptuousness under her dress made people lose themselves in reverie.

Some of the Luo Clans’s hot-blooded youths could not help but waver on their purpose after hearing her words. What the red-dressed woman said was very alluring. The Luo Divine Hall trials would last a very long time, so it was possible that they could hook up with one of the White Fox beauties, and leave with a beauty in hand!

Just thinking of this made many Luo clan disciples muster up their strength in a bid to showcase themselves at the trials.

"Come on down!"

The red-dressed woman waved her hand.

The elites of the White Fox clan began to step out of the spirit cruiser.

The Luo clan disciples immediately focused. The spatial dimension laws here were extremely chaotic. It was not easy to stand firmly, so they wanted to see how strong these girls from the White Fox clan were. They wanted to see if they were even worthy of them, if a few of them could not even beat a single one of them, how could they win their hand in marriage?

The first to step out of the spirit cruiser was a pair of young girls.

They were extremely tall, with ample breasts and thin waists. Long hair gushed down their backs, while there was a pair of fox ears that could hardly be seen.

They looked like they were made out of the same mold. Twins?

The Luo clan disciples were somewhat astonished. Coupled with their flawless faces, and identical looks, they found it nearly impossible to distinguish them.

"It's the White Fox clan's Shadow Twins!" At that moment, Luo Mo said, "They grew up together with Princess White Fox, and they are personal guards of Princess White Fox. The term, 'guards', might not be appropriate, and instead, they could be described as Princess White Fox's confidants and left and right-hand women."

With Luo Mo saying this, the Shadow Twins had already stepped out of the spirit cruiser. The chaotic laws immediately subjected them to their power, but the duo did not appear to be affected at all. More mysteriously, a faint ripple appeared under their feet, as though they were stepping on a water surface. These ripples emanated out from their feet and it gathered together before destructively interfering with each other into eventual calmness.

And following that, the Shadow Twins took one step after another down the empty space. Every step produced a ripple and these ripples formed a trail that expanded in range. Following that, the young White Fox clan disciples began walking out of the spirit cruiser.

The invisible ripples seemed to stabilize the chaotic void as they created an invisible ground. All of the White Fox disciples were able to stand firmly on the ripples that destructively interfered with each other, as though they were not affected by the chaotic laws!

This scene shocked everyone.

What sort of technique was that?

Not every White Fox clan disciple was able to easily adapt to their surroundings. With the Shadow Twins forging a path ahead, it was as though they had calmed down the chaotic laws, which resulted in all of them appearing unaffected.

It was fascinating!

At that moment, Princess White Fox appeared. She was still dressed in a simple but elegant white robe. Her long white hair and her every gesture had silver bolts lightning circulating around her. The resplendent silver beams added an air of mystery to her.

Quite a few of the Luo clan disciples present had attended the banquet hosted by Empress Luo. Back at the banquet, they did not sense how unfathomable Princess White Fox was, but now in the Primordial Empyrean Heaven, they were able to deeply appreciate it.

Princess White Fox's eyes were calm as she slowly walked towards the Luo Divine Hall. Following behind Princess White Fox were four male White Fox clan men.

The White Fox clan men had exquisite appearances like the women, but in the eyes of the members of the Luo clan, this was completely disgusting. Men mostly liked delicate and beautiful women, but how many would like delicate and beautiful men?

At that moment, the White Fox clan men looked at the Luo clan disciples and one of them said, "Who amongst you is Yi Yun?"

True Martial World - Chapter 880: Chaotic Laws

After the lanky elder finished speaking, the hull of spirit cruiser opened. The disciples who came to participate in the Luo Divine Hall trials subsequently flew out.

However, the moment that they stepped out of the spirit cruiser, there were immediately people who stumbled. There were even a few disciples who screamed as they plummeted straight down.

Elder Shi and the other Elders watched coldly, but they had no intention of saving them.

These disciples desperately powered their Yuan Qi before finally stabilizing their bodies. Slowly, they rose up, but from their pale looks, it was obvious that they had been given quite a fright.

They were still about a hundred thousand feet high in the sky. If they truly plummeted down, it would not be a problem in any other common universe, but in the Primordial Empyrean Heaven, falling meant a high chance of death.

As warriors, they were already accustomed to flying. Although their Yuan Qi was insufficient to allow them to fly over great distances, just hovering mid-air for a while was easy as lifting a finger. It was practically an inborn instinct.

But just a moment ago, they had to relearn the feeling of flying in air.

"This is a universe that failed to take form, the Primordial Empyrean Heaven. The laws here are different to the 12 Empyrean Heavens. It’s in great disorder. The laws of nature around the landmass that the Luo Divine Hall is situated on is considered to be stable, but there are certain places where every step taken will allow you to encounter different laws. At those places, the energy in your bodies might be triggered by the disorderly laws even while standing. If you fail to control it, you might explode to your deaths, let alone fly." At that moment, an Elder with an extremely long beard spoke slowly.

"But it's because of this that the Primordial Empyrean Heaven is such an excellent place for the trials. In here, you will be able to experience the laws of nature at the primordial birth of the Universe. The laws are disorderly and brutal. But it is also because of this that they are easier to gain insights from. They have not gone through a perfect transformation and maintains their most primordial state. They do not have a system of harmonious trajectories."

"In worlds like the 12 Empyrean Heavens that have taken form, the insights into a law requires you to extract them from their trajectories. Here, there is no need to do so. If you can seize the opportunity, and grasp one law, you would become a dragon or phoenix amongst people."

The bearded Elder was apparently more patient than Elder Shi. However, the look he gave the disciples was dull. How could it be easy to grasp a law? Even in the Primordial Empyrean Heaven, gaining insight into laws was still extremely difficult.

It was equivalent to the mortals in the lower realm. They lived on tiny planets. Even if they grasped a tiny law and used the law to fly out of their planets, they were still no different to an ant when it came to the Universe. It was extremely difficult for an ant to even try fathoming the vastness of the entire world.

It was as though the bearded Elder had not spoken in a very long while. Having said his piece, he fell silent.

They had volunteered to stay in the Luo Divine Hall. Other than protecting the Luo Divine Hall, they also went into reclusive cultivation here.

The disciples who were still in the spirit cruiser were appalled. They never expected that just moving alone was difficult enough in the Primordial Empyrean Heaven. They still needed to gain insight into laws and battle…

With the lessons drawn from the mistakes of those before them, the remaining disciples were careful when they flew out of the spirit cruiser.

Although many of the disciples had jolted themselves to give their all, they were still unable to find their footing after flying out. Even after familiarizing themselves with the surroundings, they were still unable to stand freely. It was as though they would plummet at any time.

However, there were a group of people who adjusted to it faster. After a few moments of stumbling, they were able to barely stand firm, with no signs of them falling at any time.

Immediately, the disciples who failed to find their footing felt that their faces were burning.

The setback was too great to be immediately proven to be inferior to the other disciples upon arrival at the trial.

However, no matter how well the disciples performed, the two Elders that protected the Luo Divine Hall had their eyelids lowered. They did not pay any attention to them.

"It's Senior Brother Luo Mo." Someone suddenly shouted from amidst the crowd.

Luo Mo, who had competed with Yi Yun at Empress Luo's banquet had arrived.

Luo Mo was still wearing his black-and-white robe. He silently stepped out of the spirit cruiser. Ever since he was defeated by Yi Yun in the Desolate Heaven technique at Empress Luo's banquet, he appeared more staid.

The moment he stepped out, his robe fluttered up, as though it was lifted up by winds. Following that he stably hovered mid-air, no different to normal flying.

"Ze!"

People remarked with a tinge of regret. Indeed, a genius at Luo Mo's level was different.

Behind Luo Mo was a black-dressed youth.

The moment the black-dressed youth appeared, he attracted the attention of many.

The reason why the black-dressed youth attracted the attention of the others was not because of his identity. In fact, many people present had never seen him before.

The youth had a pair of black and bright eyes. He was extremely well kept, with a sword behind his back. He had black short hair, but his face looked somewhat pale.

The bone sword was made of the bone of an unknown beast. It was white like jade and it did not appear sharp at all. Instead, it gave off a warm feeling to others.

The most astonishing thing was that beside the sword's hilt, there was a tiny bird standing on the black-dressed youth's shoulder.

And it was this bird that attracted the eyes of everyone.

The participants present were members of the Fey race. They were extremely sensitive to Fey race bloodlines, so they were certain that the bird was not a powerful Fey beast, to the point that it was most likely an ordinary bird.

Bringing an ordinary bird to the Luo Divine Hall?

The laws in the Primordial Empyrean Heaven were extremely disorderly. Out of the Luo Divine Hall's vicinity, many places could trigger the energies in a person's body due to the chaotic laws to result in an exploding death.

Even in the land mass where the Luo Divine Hall lay, where the laws were slightly more stable, it was still not a place that an ordinary bird could withstand.

A strange scene was seen. When the black-dressed youth stepped out of the spirit cruiser, it was as though he was walking on flat ground. His body did not even quiver once. Even the bird on his shoulder was turning its tiny head in an alacritous manner. From time to time, it would issue clear sounds of chirping. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

That can actually do?

Many people had struggled just to be able to stand firmly, but the youth in front of them had not only stood firmly, but he had also brought a tiny bird.

Who was he?

Such thoughts appeared on many people's minds. It was as though Luo Mo knew the youth, and from his demeanor, he was rather respectful towards the youth.

At that moment, Ran Xueyi, Luo Divine Hall had begun to come out of the spirit cruiser. As two of the four young masters of the royal capital, the both of them were members of the younger generation that were younger than a hundred years old. Obviously, they would not miss the Luo Divine Hall trials.

Just as Ran Xueyi and Donglin Yu were about to step out of the spirit cruiser —

"Whew!"

The sound of the tearing of the void resounded as air was pushed apart. The surrounding laws also turned chaotic. The young disciples, who had struggled to find their footing, stumbled again, as though they were tiny boats bobbing on a huge wave.

People looked up as a gigantic white spirit cruiser descended and it landed near the Luo clan's spirit cruiser.

"It's the White Fox clan's spirit cruiser!"

The gigantic white cruiser had a line made up of large beads across the keel of the boat that resembled the eyeballs of beasts. The line gave off a feeling full of mystery.

"It's Princess White Fox and the disciples of the White Fox clan!" A young Luo clan elite said.
