Chapter 1607 Taking the First Step!
Zi Sha looked at the list and opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just shook his head with a wry smile.
The trio's faces turned ashen. Ye Chuyun's performance was like a resounding slap across their faces.
Next comes the distribution of the opportunity rewards.
Everyone held their breath, especially the top ten winners who stared intently at their personal spaces.
Given the difficulty of the fourth batch, the rewards should be even more generous.
Ye Chuyun's mind was also drawn into it.
In addition to the three treasures and some miscellaneous items that I already had in my personal space, there is now something new.
It is a key.
A key about a foot long, carved entirely from white jade.
The Key to the Holy Land (Unique)
[Description: Proof of passing the ultimate test of the Endless Trials Corridor. Possessing this key unlocks the portal to the true core area of the Holy Land.]
[Effect: Ignore barriers and enter the holy land directly.]
[Note: This item is bound to your account and cannot be traded or dropped.]
Upon seeing the description, Ye Chuyun's heart skipped a beat, and her eyes flashed with disbelief.
There's even such a reward—direct access to the Holy Land?
At the same time, information about the reward for first place was clearly transmitted to the minds of every surviving trial participant.
[First Place: Hidden. Reward: Key to the Holy Land.]
"Going directly into the Holy Land is unfair!"
"How can this be?!"
"We fought tooth and nail through four waves of monsters, eliminating so many people, and he just got in?"
"It's not fair! This is not fair!!"
"Why was he allowed to go in directly?"
The trial participants roared in anger.
Jealousy, resentment, anger... all sorts of negative emotions instantly overwhelmed their minds.
They paid an unimaginable price for a spot in the holy land, enduring countless hardships to get here. Just when they were about to see the light at the end of the tunnel, they discovered that someone had already obtained a VIP ticket that led directly to the finish line.
This psychological gap is enough to drive someone crazy.
"Hand over the key!"
"You don't deserve this key!"
"It must be cheating! Heaven is unjust!"
A tidal wave of rebukes surged toward Ye Chuyun.
Even the trio and Zi Sha looked at Ye Chuyun with greed in their eyes.
The Key to the Holy Land is of paramount importance.
Ye Chuyun simply smiled at the piercing gazes directed at her.
This is the real grand prize.
Previous points, rankings, and opportunities are just processes; this key is the shortcut to the ultimate goal.
Just when the situation was about to spiral out of control...
The final trial has begun!
Only those who pass the final trial may enter the Holy Land!
"Boom!"
Directly in front of every path of light except for Ye Chuyun's, an unimaginably large shadow was slowly taking shape.
What a monster it was!
It was over ten zhang tall, with a twisted body, as if it had crudely combined the features of all the monsters from the previous four rounds.
The monster exuded a chaotic aura, and its oppressive power reached a level that made the souls of all the trial participants tremble.
Spirit level!
Even the peak of the Spirit level!
The Final Guardian: The Chaos Aggregate
【Characteristics: Physical Immunity (High), Energy Resistance (Extremely High), Law Resistance (Medium), Health Points: 10000000】
Find a way to open the gate to the sacred site behind it.
Think of a way, what way?
What solutions can be found in the current situation?
Upon witnessing the monster's strength and abilities, all the trial participants turned ashen-faced.
The breath I had just mustered in anger completely dissipated, leaving only boundless despair.
This is simply not something they can contend with at this stage.
Even if they were all at their peak, let alone in their current poor condition and with their mana depleted, they would probably be instantly killed by this kind of monster.
Behind this terrifying monster, the chaotic air parted, and a giant stone gate slowly emerged.
The door was tightly shut, with wisps of white mist faintly seeping through the cracks, as if a fairyland existed behind the door.
That is the gateway to the Holy Land.
However, this door was now like an insurmountable chasm, firmly guarded by this invincible monster.
While everyone was shocked, they were surprised to find that there were no terrifying monsters in front of Ye Chuyun's path of light.
Instead, there was a stone door, but it was slightly smaller and had a clearly visible keyhole.
Those who possess the key to the Holy Land may enter directly through this gate.
The will of Heaven clearly revealed to everyone the purpose of that door.
At that moment, all the anger turned into silent suffocation.
They would have to fight with everything they could to have even the slightest chance of opening the gates and entering the holy land.
However, Ye Chuyun only needed to take out the key and insert it into the hole to easily enter.
Is this reasonable?
This is completely unreasonable!!!
Ye Chuyun looked at the gate in front of her and understood.
"As expected, this is the real reward for first place," he thought to himself.
His intuition told him that this was not a trap and that he could open it without worry.
"Gentlemen, I shall take my leave now."
Ye Chuyun ignored the piercing gazes that seemed to penetrate him, and even made a sarcastic remark before leaving.
He then took a step forward, holding the key, and arrived at the stone door.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, he slowly raised his hand and precisely inserted the key into the lock on the door.
"Click."
With a soft sound, the stone gate instantly burst into a dazzling light, completely engulfing Ye Chuyun's figure.
The light faded the next moment, and the stone gate, along with Ye Chuyun's figure, disappeared.
He had already stepped into the sacred place that everyone dreamed of, ahead of everyone else.
......
Ye Chuyun opened her eyes with anticipation, her heart filled with longing and expectation for the legendary fairyland.
However, when he finally saw what was in front of him, his pupils contracted instantly, and countless questions flooded his mind.
What the hell is this place?
Where does the holy land begin?
His gaze swept across the land.
The earth was charred black, with deep cracks rising from it, billowing black smoke and raging flames, as if the earth were gasping for breath in agony.
In the distance, some twisted black shadows could be vaguely seen, appearing and disappearing in the smoke, sending chills down one's spine.
A faint, mournful wail echoed in his ears, a sound so pitiful and desperate that anyone who didn't know better would think someone was crying in agony.
This is no paradise or holy land; it's clearly a purgatory, a living hell.
It was the complete opposite of the ethereal, sacred place he had imagined.
The stark contrast shocked Ye Chuyun, making her almost doubt whether the key had transported her to some perilous place.
