The Journey of Overthrowing the Celestial Emperor
Ch. 127 ~ Trials

Surrender! He felt he was going to give up. Zhang Ziyi resigned, eyed back the times he had once passed. Even to remember the actions of his father who dared to kill him just because of a prophecy.

Much that Zhang Ziyi remembered. And it was those memories that inadvertently brought Zhang Ziyi to a taste. Desire to give up, despair, but also try to rise. In his subconscious, those 3 flavors were plastered before him in the form of shadows. Red, black and gold.

Zhang Ziyi was sitting in a sea of energy, with those three forms of taste floating before him.

"Is this the end?" muttered.

"How can I defeat the Celestial emperor while my strength is so weak." He's starting to be pessimistic. Smiling wryly, Zhang Ziyi then muttered back.

"Even to endure the pain of those venomous beasts alone I am already incapable, what if I will face the Sword of the Celestial Emperor?"

Every time Zhang Ziyi muttered in regards to the word pessimist, then that despairing shadow would light up slowly.

Zhang Ziyi looked at the three sense shadows for quite a while. His eyes were cloudy, like there was no hope of intention to rise again.

But a speck of self-reinforcing.

Memories related to his past, along with his colleagues who are currently also struggling through the stairs that are filled with heavy pressure, just like him.

Recalling how Laohu was currently waiting for him. Given how fate his subordinates would be if he could not clear this test. Given how his struggle would have been a waste just because of one defeat.

"No!! I'm not giving up. I can't die. This test is nothing. The Scratches of the Celestial Emperor Sword were even fiercer than this. Well, it could be that these insects are nothing!" Zhang Ziyi.

A speck of hope that was originally covered by the darkness, began to shine again. Slowly getting brighter. Likewise with the floating golden shadow. Now it was emitting a golden light that was so dazzling.

Inwardly, Zhang Ziyi was inspired to make this painful test a stepping stone in the face of the Celestial Emperor later on!

Zhang Ziyi's body that was being gnawed by the poisonous creatures began to show a reaction.

The toxins sprayed by those animals within Zhang Ziyi's body slowly began to be absorbed. Absorbed flowing in one place and centered on Zhang Ziyi's left hand.

All of the poison that had originally spread throughout his body began to flow into Zhang Ziyi's left hand. Even the poisons from the venomous animals were also absorbed by Zhang Ziyi's left hand to the point of being unresponsive. And now the animals that gnawed at Zhang Ziyi's body had been destroyed, leaving only his skin that had dried up.

Not stopping there, thousands of poisonous animals that had just appeared were absorbed by Zhang Ziyi's body. Zhang Ziyi's left hand was like it did not feel a sense of satisfaction after previously finishing off the first wave of insects. And this time, it could be that even the insects that came in the second wave were wiped out by Zhang Ziyi's left hand.

A blackish-green energy was seen floating out from the animals' bodies. Moving elongated forming energy threads. He pointed to Zhang Ziyi's left hand.

Now all the animals have dried up. The poison received by Zhang Ziyi's left hand grew even more concentrated. Emitting dark green enegi.

Laohu who was outside the barrier wall still had time to smell the scent of poison that was so piercing in his nose. Out of nowhere the scent could escape the transparent walls. Immediately he flew away a little with that dividing wall. He did not abandon his master, but rather kept his master out of the test from a distance.

While on the other hand, Zhang Ziyi had completed his first test. Now he had managed to increase one stage of his cultivation. In addition, he had also managed to have a new skill, namely poison with the previous skill which was the antidote. In other words, Zhang Ziyi had blood containing poison on the part of his left hand, while the blood on the right hand contained a poison antidote.

Zhang Ziyi opened both of his eyes. At first glance looks both pupils of different colors. The right eye pupil is bright green while the left eye pupil is dark green. But only a moment before his pupils returned to their original color of brown with a slight look of gold.

"Huhuhh... Ahhhhh! I finally finished the first exam. It is indeed worth mentioning with the test to get instant strength, even just the first stage alone, has been able to increase my cultivation–. Although only one stage. Also I am now gaining a new Skill, which is the Poison Element after previously I could only cure any kind of poison with my blood!"

Zhang Ziyi looked thoughtful. Thinking about the poison from the insects and the venomous animals that he thought were very, very terrible. Even he who incidentally is immune to poison is still affected by its effects.

Imagining that, it made Zhang Ziyi slightly goosebumps. But whatever it was, he was determined to finish the test. Returning by recruiting mermaids as part of his subordinates. And make his subordinates strong as quickly as possible after going to the upper realms to meet the Celestial Emperor.

Thirty minutes passed. Now the signs of the second stage exam will begin. Zhang Ziyi took a deep breath before that. Trying to suppress the worry that had previously erupted in his mind.

"Everything will pass in the course of a second of time!" muttered.

Right after he finished muttering, the ground suddenly shook. Not only that, the transparent wall that locked itself also shook. Zhang Ziyi took a cautious stance.

The chains that bound his legs and hands also shook, causing a rattling sound on the iron chain.

Shortly after, the floor of the stage on which he stood began to soften. Faintly, Zhang Ziyi could feel a sense of warmth from underground. Soft and getting softer. Suddenly the stage melted little by little. Zhang Ziyi panicked. The warmth has now changed to heat. It was even hotter than the usual fire.

Stage divided. Float. Now the place where Zhang Ziyi was at began to change the background. Where everything is dark. The magma sea was clearly visible beneath him. Like a flowing river, that's the magma. The fragments of the stage began to be carried away by the flow of the magma river. On the other hand, the stage where he stood began to melt little by little, staying only a small part of it.

"Damn, what's this!"

Magma boils, creating hot yellow bubbles. Not a few splashes of magma splashed and almost hit Zhang Ziyi's skin.

He twisted his brain, thinking of a way to avoid the magma. While the stage where he stood now lived a small fragment of the size of his two legs that had been close together.

Soon he created the ground under his feet. But it did not work at all, because in just 3 seconds, the land he created was cracked and destroyed.

"Damn it!" Cussing for the second time. Then he tried to freeze the magma underneath. Unfortunately, that doesn't work either. The magma that had been frozen also broke in just 2 seconds.

Zhang Ziyi panicked. The stage the size of his two legs had now broken and was completely exhausted. Zhang Ziyi jumped flying. It flew high but the chains blocked its movement.

Zhang Ziyi could only float in the air on his back. Because the chain that binds his right and left legs and hands comes from four different angles, allowing him to float like a fish in a roast.

The hot air of the magma that was 7 meters below was so hot. Even the heat can be seventy-seven times the heat of a typical fire. It may not be hotter than the fire of hell, but it is hotter than the fire of the world.

The suit that Zhang Ziyi was wearing melted and burned his back skin. Added to the hot temperature emitted by the magma, making Zhang Ziyi no different from the fish that was burned.

Skin blisters. The meat on the back had matured in just a few seconds. Zhang Ziyi grimaced. He did not have time to make an ice shield, or at least coat his body with ice energy. But even if Zhang Ziyi did, perhaps the result would still be nil.

In such a situation, Zhang Ziyi tried to think clearly, even though it was very difficult.

"Tu–wait, bu–do I-do I have– zirah– Dewa– war be–with me? Why isn't this working?" Zhang Ziyi muttered. But there is no time to think about that. He put aside the matter of the malfunctioning War God Armor. Thinking of an unhelpful matter in this matter would only hasten his death.

"Teleportation! Yeah, well, that's probably gonna help me a little!" Suddenly thought about it. Without a second thought, he instantly activated the skill. He suddenly disappeared, but in just two seconds he returned to his original place.

"Damn it! This chain turned out to be the one that made the War God Armor malfunction, as well as my teleportation– skill did not work either. In that case, I'll die a fool here!"

Unfinished with the matter that befell him at the moment, Zhang Ziyi was brought back in for a new trouble. Where the boiling Magma slowly began to rise. Not only that, something even more terrifying happened in that second. The moments that were originally tense, are now also more tense when the presence of the figure.
