Divine King of Honour-Chapter 1410: Sky-reaching Stele Trial

Chapter 1410: Chapter 1410: Sky-reaching Stele Trial
"Brother Xue, are you here for the Supreme Tower trial too?"
Xu Nian looked at Xue Bing and said.
"No, I came to find you," Xue Bing replied.
"Uh, find me? What’s the matter?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.
"Have you heard of the Sky-reaching Stele trial?" Xue Bing inquired.
Xu Nian shook his head.
"Just as Heng Xin mentioned, you surely don’t know about this," Xue Bing said.
"What is the Sky-reaching Stele trial?" Xu Nian asked curiously.
"Let’s go back to your place; I’ll explain as we walk," Xue Bing said.
Xu Nian nodded, then walked with Xue Bing towards his residence.
"The Sky-reaching Stele trial is a grand event held every five hundred years at Shendang Mountain, lasting for ten years. It’s aimed at cultivating the disciples’ strength and preventing them from becoming complacent. All disciples below Immortal Sovereign can participate," Xue Bing explained.
"Every five hundred years? Lasting ten years? Disciples below Immortal Sovereign can participate? Doesn’t that mean even Immortal Kings will join the trial?" Xu Nian asked with some surprise.
"Exactly, from Heavenly Immortals to Immortal Kings, almost all disciples will sign up to participate. Even some allied forces with Shendang Mountain send their talented experts to join our Sky-reaching Stele trial," Xue Bing said.
"So many people? This is indeed a grand event. But in what form is this Sky-reaching Stele trial conducted?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.
He couldn’t quite understand what kind of trial would require ten years.
"Haha, you’ve asked the crux of the matter. This Sky-reaching Stele trial is extremely special; you know the Sky-reaching Stele is a very powerful Divine Artifact, don’t you?" Xue Bing said.
Xu Nian nodded.
He had learned about this before.
"But did you know the Sky-reaching Stele is a powerful Soul Space type Divine Artifact?" Xue Bing said with a smile.
"Soul Space type Divine Artifact?" Xu Nian looked shocked.
So-called Soul Spaces are different from his Chaos Divine Palace.
His Chaos Divine Palace is a tangible space Divine Artifact that allows any material entity to enter.
Whereas Soul Space type Divine Artifacts only allow the soul’s consciousness to enter.
"Yes, a Soul Space type Divine Artifact. So this time the Sky-reaching Stele trial is held inside the Soul Space of the Sky-reaching Stele. Everyone who signs up will use their Identity Token to have their soul enter the Sky-reaching Stele for the trial. You should be familiar with the Supreme Tower trial, right?" Xue Bing said.
Xu Nian nodded.
The Supreme Tower is a type of Soul Space treasure.
Allowing the soul’s consciousness to enter a specific space.
"The Sky-reaching Stele trial is somewhat similar to the Supreme Tower assessment, but the difference is that all trial participants conduct the trial in the same space, and they can also engage in battles and interactions. Moreover, as long as you remain undying, you can exit the Sky-reaching Stele Space and re-enter at any time; the entire trial lasts ten years," Xue Bing said with a smile.
"You can exit and re-enter?" Xu Nian was quite surprised.
No wonder this assessment takes up to ten years.
Turns out one can exit to the real world and return at any time.
"Interesting. Is there anything special about the Sky-reaching Stele Space?" Xu Nian asked curiously.
He felt that this form of trial seemed like an excellent cultivation for him.
"Indeed there is. The Sky-reaching Stele Space is huge, no smaller than an Immortal Domain. Every trial’s map inside the Sky-reaching Stele Space is different, manifested by the Artifact Spirit of the Stele. In the Sky-reaching World, there are many powerful Demon Beasts, Demons, and Abyssal Demons, especially Abyssal Demons, whose strength is extremely terrifying," Xue Bing said.
Xu Nian nodded.
He had also seen Abyssal Demon introductions in an ancient book before.
These are extremely powerful and evil creatures.
These creatures possess formidable strength and terrifying Abyss Power.
The Abyss Power is incredibly deadly.
Its potency is not much less than Law Manifestation.
So generally, humans of the same level encountering Abyssal Demons are almost sure to die.
"So is the trial ranked by killing Demons, Demon Beasts, and Abyssal Demons?" Xu Nian asked.
"Yes, we can kill the creatures manifested by the Sky-reaching Stele. Before killing them, we can check their score on the Token, and the final ranking is based on the score," Xue Bing said.
"Can killing participants also plunder their scores?" Xu Nian smiled.
"Haha, you’re certainly smart," Xue Bing said with a laugh.
Xu Nian smiled. It’s not that he’s smart; it’s that many assessments follow such a format.
"What are the rewards for this assessment?" Xu Nian asked curiously.
"The rewards for the assessment are based on the ranking. Anyone within the top ten thousand receives rewards, but the truly lucrative rewards are only for the top three," Xue Bing said.
"It’s said the first place gets three opportunities to enter the Emperor Platform, the second place gets two, and the third place gets one. Of course, these don’t concern us. For us, the precious part is the trial itself," Xue Bing said.
"Huh? Three opportunities to enter the Emperor Platform?" Xu Nian’s eyes lit up.
Getting to enter the Emperor Platform is a highly valuable reward.
This equals an opportunity to battle with an Immortal Emperor.
"Alright, how do I register?" Xu Nian was immediately intrigued.
Xue Bing smiled: "Registration is simple; you just need to undergo an initial assessment through your Identity Token."
Xu Nian nodded.
Then, after carefully learning about the trial with Xue Bing,
he returned to his residence and took out his Identity Token.
He held the Token, channeling his Soul Power into the Token.
In the next moment, Xu Nian felt a suction force from the Token.
Then his consciousness was already present in a void space.
"Welcome to the Sky-reaching Stele Space, I am the Artifact Spirit’s avatar, Little Stele. Are you planning to participate in the Sky-reaching Stele trial?"
A pretty girl appeared before Xu Nian.
"Artifact Spirit avatar?" Xu Nian was startled.
Looks like everyone entering the Sky-reaching Stele Space will have such an Artifact Spirit avatar accompanying them.
"Yes, I intend to register for the Sky-reaching Stele trial," Xu Nian said.
"Great, participation requires an initial assessment. Would you like to undergo the assessment now?" The Artifact Spirit avatar said mechanically.
"Participate!" Xu Nian said.
"Buzz!"
In an instant, the scene before Xu Nian changed.
Then he discovered himself in a barren land.
"This initial assessment provides a preliminary evaluation of the disciple’s ability, and it will not be publicly disclosed. Please choose your opponent," the Artifact Spirit avatar said.
Several opponents appeared in front of Xu Nian.
These opponents were from the Demon Clan, Demon Clan, and Abyss Clan.
All with the same cultivation level at Golden Immortal Early Stage.
"I choose the Abyss Clan!" Xu Nian said.
"Alright, arranging an opponent for the disciple now. Please prepare," the Artifact Spirit avatar said.
In the next instant, a powerful Abyssal Demon appeared before Xu Nian.
Immediately, an overwhelmingly terrifying Abyss atmosphere rushed towards him.
"This is an Abyssal Demon?"
Xu Nian looked in shock at the Abyssal Demon in front of him.
