Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 940 - 890: The Swift 10,000 Blood Lanterns

The month-long trial begins.

Select the "Myriad Blood Lantern" you wish to enter and commence your test!

As the voice faded, over 1,300 challengers in the valley all noticed that the extinguished lanterns in the void now emitted a faint glow.

It was as if they were waiting eagerly for them to choose and enter.

Everyone also heard a message coming directly from the "Myriad Blood Lanterns."

The message clearly stated that as long as they activated the three "Passing Light of the God Marks" obtained earlier from the fourth layer of Heavenly God Mountain on their selected lantern, they could enter the lantern and begin their trial immediately.

Boom!

Upon sensing the message, one challenger immediately activated the three faint blue Passing Light of the God Marks on their hand toward a lantern.

As soon as the activation occurred, the previously dim lantern brightened with a "bang" and began to emit blood-red light.

At the same time, the challenger was sucked into the lantern in an instant.

Soon thereafter, the lantern started to tremble.

It was evident that the challenger had entered the "Myriad Blood Lantern" and was now battling the slaughter entities inside.

This fourth layer of trials in Heavenly God Mountain serves as a race for the top five, a competition for the top thirty, and a desperate bid for progress.

Seeing someone already dive into a "Myriad Blood Lantern," no one else wanted to wait.

Everyone picked out their desired "Myriad Blood Lantern" and, like the first person, activated their three Passing Light of the God Marks, entering the lanterns one after another.

In mere seconds, over 1,200 out of the 1,300-plus martial artists entered the "Myriad Blood Lanterns."

The remaining participants, including Ye Chen and those closely connected to him, exchanged brief farewells before also entering their chosen "Myriad Blood Lanterns."

The total time it took for all the martial artists to enter the "Myriad Blood Lanterns" was less than three breaths.

At this moment, in the void.

Out of tens of thousands of "Myriad Blood Lanterns," more than 1,300 had already lit up.

Among the myriad lanterns, these stood out strikingly.

"Is this the slaughter scene inside the 'Myriad Blood Lantern'?"

After entering the lantern, Ye Chen found himself standing in a grand hall shrouded in blood-red chilling light.

As soon as he stabilized his stance, dozens of black puppets at the level of Middle Earth Gods charged at him, wielding diverse divine weapons.

"These must be the slaughter entities mentioned by that voice. I wonder if this is just the first wave or if all of them are already here," Ye Chen mused.

Seeing just dozens of Middle Earth Gods-level black puppets, Ye Chen's expression remained unchanging.

With a flick of his hand, "plop, plop, plop, plop," dozens of sword rays, precisely matching the number of black puppets, slashed out.

In an instant, all the black puppets were annihilated.

Immediately, the blood-red chilly grand hall began rumbling, "crack, crack, crack," and dozens of blood-colored shapeshifting demons roared as they rushed toward Ye Chen.

These blood-colored shapeshifting demons were all at the level of Superior Heavenly Divine Venerables.

Ye Chen didn't even blink. Raising his palm again, he wiped out these dozens of blood-colored demons.

While Ye Chen was eliminating the slaughter entities within the "Myriad Blood Lantern,"

the other martial artists who had entered were also battling their respective slaughter entities.

One martial artist who had recently broken through to the Middle Divine Venerable Realm encountered three slaughter demons as soon as they entered their "Myriad Blood Lantern."

Upon sensing the slaughter demons' strength, their expression changed drastically.

Although there were only three demons charging toward them, all three demons were at the level of Upper Immortal Divine Venerables.

This martial artist, who had struggled for a breakthrough after the first three layers of Heavenly God Mountain, stood no chance against Upper Immortal Divine Venerables-level demons.

Boom!

In just a breath, the martial artist was torn to shreds by the three demons.

The lantern they had entered, which had once glowed brightly, immediately dimmed again with a "bang."

The lantern dimmed, the person perished.

This martial artist became the first to die on the fourth layer of Heavenly God Mountain.

Like this unfortunate participant, most challengers faced slaughter entities that were at least comparable to their combat power levels from when they first entered Heavenly God Mountain.

Even if they could handle them, they couldn't remove all traces of the slaughter entities in a short period.

For the moment, not a single lantern was flying toward the exit.

Everyone remained locked in intense battles with the slaughter entities.

Of course, while some individuals faced sheer misfortune, others enjoyed strikingly favorable circumstances.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

One challenger who recently broke through to the Upper Earth Divine Venerable Realm found themselves surrounded by hundreds of martial artist warriors as soon as they entered their "Myriad Blood Lantern."

To their delight, these warrior shadows only had combat power at the ordinary God King Level. freewebnσvel.cѳm

God King Level beings had never posed a threat to this challenger even before their recent breakthrough, let alone now.

The Upper Earth Divine Venerable raised a hand, utterly destroying the swarm of warrior shadows.

Then, a second batch of warrior shadows charged toward them.

The challenger noticed, delightedly, that this second batch still had combat power at the ordinary God King Level, and their numbers had decreased significantly.

Smiling, they destroyed the second batch of shadows.

They then noticed that the third wave had an even smaller number, with the same combat power level remaining unchanged.

The Upper Earth Divine Venerable's heart nearly jumped out of their chest: "Could this 'Myriad Blood Lantern' I entered be the easiest one?"

"These God King Level slaughter entities can't harm me in the slightest!"

"And their numbers keep dwindling."

"It's highly likely that as soon as I reduce their numbers to zero, I will pass the 'Myriad Blood Lantern' test and fly straight to the exit!"

Heart pounding with excitement, the challenger annihilated the third batch of slaughter entities with a swift gesture.

When the fourth batch arrived, their numbers had dwindled to merely a few dozen.

The Upper Earth Divine Venerable knew that based on this progression, they wouldn't need much more time to complete the "Myriad Blood Lantern" trial!

The situation played out exactly as they had anticipated.

From entering the "Myriad Blood Lantern" to eliminating all fifteen waves of slaughter entities inside, this Upper Earth Divine Venerable spent less than fifty breaths.

When they had finished eliminating all fifteen waves, they observed that their lantern stopped producing slaughter entities and instead began flying forward.

Seeing this, the challenger felt an immense surge of joy.

They had succeeded!

They had officially cleared the fourth layer of trials in Heavenly God Mountain!

"I might be the first to finish!"

"My luck is unbelievable. This slaughter challenge posed no difficulty at all!"

As their lantern flew forward, the challenger's spirit soared.

They confidently assumed they must be first.

Unfortunately, the challenger could not see the situation outside their lantern.

From the view in the valley, however, many lanterns remained stationary, signaling that their occupants were either battling or had perished, their lanterns extinguished.

While the lantern carrying the Upper Earth Divine Venerable indeed accelerated toward the exit, it wasn't the first one to do so.

Ahead of their lantern was another one already flying toward the exit!

And the lantern in the lead had taken merely thirty breaths to light up and begin moving—10 breaths faster than the lucky challenger's forty-plus breath timeframe.

Inside the lead lantern was none other than Ye Chen!

Ye Chen had cleared the trial faster than even the challenger who had encountered the "easiest task."

Inside the lantern, sensing its movement toward the exit, Ye Chen wore a faint smile: "Although the slaughter entities I faced this time were quite strong, fortunately, none surpassed my combat level."

"Let's hope I can reach the exit ahead of everyone else."

Ye Chen spoke lightly, but the slaughter entities he faced would have terrified anyone else.

This time, Ye Chen battled through five waves of slaughter entities, with each succeeding wave growing stronger.

The last wave even featured three Upper Immortal Divine Venerable-level slaughter entities.

This level of enemy, had it appeared in another "Myriad Blood Lantern," would have spelled death for any other challenger.

After all, no one except Ye Chen could withstand Upper Immortal Divine Venerable-level slaughter entities!

Only Ye Chen could effortlessly eliminate such foes in an instant.

Only Ye Chen could emerge as the first to complete the trial under such challenging circumstances!

Swoosh.

Ye Chen's lantern flew toward the exit.

Soon after, the Upper Earth Divine Venerable's lantern followed.

Following these two lanterns, more rushing sounds echoed as additional lanterns began leaving the valley, heading forward.

A stick of incense's time later, among the illuminated lanterns, nearly sixty "Myriad Blood Lanterns" had flown toward the exit.
