Against The Gods
Chapter 187 – Endless Plain
Along with the fall of the Stone Dragon General, the large stone gate he came from was slowly opened. Furthermore, the excited voice of the Primordial Azure Dragon came from overhead:
"Very good. Young man, you have allowed me to see surprising results. In the ten thousand years I have lived on this continent, you are the first person to pass this trial stage. During these ten thousand years of waiting, I have regretted several times about leaving a trace of my soul and strength in this land, because the level of strength in this continent is too low; it made me gradually realize that the ordeal I left behind was something that humans on this continent could never pass through. Fortunately, I met you.”.
“You have already passed the first stage of the trial. Not only did you pass with a double difficulty level, you also completed this while being tied up; you have allowed me to see the greatest expectations. The second stage trial gate has been opened. After making adequate preparations, head to the open stone gate and you will enter the second stage trial field. Good luck.”
The stone gate that opened was the second trial gate.
The first stage of the trial was so terrifying that the second and third stages would definitely be more challenging.
The Frozen Soul Barrier was still there because Yun Che had eliminated the Stone Dragon General within a span of fifteen minutes.
“Finally it's okay now. "Yun Che returned to Chu Yuechan's side and helped her adjust to a more comfortable lying position. He stretched out his hand, slowly guiding his profound energy into his body, and helping him circulate his internal energy and blood.
Chu Yuechan's half-opened eyes stared blankly at him for a long time. Then, he softly asked: "How did you recover from your injury and regain your strength so quickly?"
Yun Che did not want to lie to him, so he immediately replied: "The profound art I developed is capable of speeding up my injury recovery and can recover my strength.”
"Can you tell me the name of this profound art?" Chu Yuechan asked softly. At his level, the profound art that tickled his interest was indeed not much. He knew many profound arts that could speed up the recovery of injuries and recover strength such as the Restoration Art, Nine Cycle Restoration Art, the Holy Art of Glance Flowers and Snowy Moon, and so on. But the injuries Yun Che received were extremely severe. It was very clear to him that he had used too much strength, so much so that it had been overused to the point of affecting his lifespan. Even augmented together, all of the powerful profound recovery arts he knew were incapable of displaying shocking results.
Yun Che slightly hesitated but still said it out loud: "You may have never heard the name of this profound art. It is called the Great Way of Buddha.”
"Great Way Buddha.." Chu Yuechan pondered lightly as her eyes flickered in confusion. He had never heard of this art before.
"Deep power in the middle of the True Profound Realm… And even easily execute an enemy whose level far surpassed his by that of a very great world.Although your great power is according to your age and you can only be considered an ordinary genius, your innate talent in using your profound strength.Maybe even Xia Qingyue... lower....Your master must be..
This was the first time he had said so many words, and Chu Yuechan was already out of breath. For him, who valued words more than gold, to suddenly say so much, also revealed how Yun Che had surprised him.
“I have two masters and they are both so amazing. "Yun Che nodded with a smile:" One of my teachers taught me the medical arts and how to be human. Other masters taught me all kinds of profound arts. Both of them gave me a new lease of life; without them, the present me would not exist.”
Chu Yuechan closed her eyes and did not speak anymore. He relaxed and then the feeling of weakness and fatigue came together. Not long after, he fell asleep.
With the blood vessels and profound meridians completely destroyed that were almost all damaged, it undoubtedly required an enormous amount of diligence to remain sober for so long. And what made Yun Che so happy, was the fact that he no longer felt the desire to die from his body.
When Chu Yuechan woke up, it was already morning on the second day. Even though his body was still weak after being cared for by the night of Yun Che's profound energy flow and warmth, his complexion had already improved greatly.
"Here, drink some water first." Yun Che raised Chu Yuechan's upper body and let her lean against his chest. After draining the water to her lips, she noticed him taking a small gulp. Perhaps he never thought that there would come a day where he would hold this Little Fairy, who was at the peak of the Blue Wind Empire, and helping her drink water the same way someone would feed the baby carefully. Chu Yuechan herself would never have thought of this happening.And at this moment, even Chu Yuechan herself was unaware that she did not balk at Yun Che's intimate touch, either, but instead it has a very strange sense of security. But all of this was deduced due to his body being completely paralyzed; it was basically impossible for him to take care of himself, and he did not even have the ability to resist.
In his current state, Chu Yuechan could only eat ordinary juicy food. Fortunately, Yun Che had bought a few grains at an inn before entering the Wasteland of Death. He boiled a small porridge using phoenix flames and then helped her drink it. After all the preparations were made, he picked up Chu Yuechan and headed to the gate of the second stage of the trial.
After slowly entering the stone gate, his vision became pitch-black. Then, he took two steps forward and suddenly brightened up; it was as if it only took two steps to fully step from one world to another.
What appeared before his eyes was an endless expanse of vast land. Grass covered the ground and there were also trees that gave shade; even the faint sound of running water could be heard. There are short hills in the distance that go up and down. Occasionally, the cries of all kinds of birds and animals were heard.
The pleasant atmosphere and aroma in this place was also very different from the previous location. Yun Che turned around and still saw the endless plains; there was absolutely no sign of mountain walls or stone gates. He immediately understood back then, that he was not walking through the stone gate, but rather a transportation formation.
"This is... next test site? There's no sign of danger."Chu Yuechang said softly.
At that very moment also the voice of the Primordial Azure Dragon sounded.
"Young man, welcome. This place, was the Dragon God's second trial ground. This trial ground had no limits, nor did it have any way out. You can only leave this place after you successfully complete the trial. Or maybe you will be buried here before completing the trial.”
"There are countless ferocious beasts here in this endless plain. The levels of the great monsters here have all been adjusted to your strength as a benchmark. Also, as a result of the doubling level of difficulty that you have to endure, every great beast that is here is no lower than the Profound Spirit Realm. As for some of the more powerful large beasts, their strength far exceeded that of the Stone Dragon General you had killed.”
“For this deep savage beast, this place is an endless paradise. But to you, this place is extremely dangerous; it is an abyss filled with countless death shadows. This was because once the profound ferocious beasts here sensed your aura, they would all immediately unleash an endless barrage of attacks. At the same time, under the guidance of my soul, the great beasts near you will all be led towards you. You will be hunted at all times by deep wild beasts and will never be able to sleep well or eat quietly.”
Yun Che: "…"
Yun Che did not have a clear reaction to all that, but the following words of the Primordial Azure Dragon almost made Yun Che spit out a mouthful of blood.
“And your goal in completing this second stage trial is also very easy. It was to kill nine hundred and ninety-nine hundred and ninety-nine profound beasts, in one year! "
