Chapter 1236 - : The Heavenly Yokai King’s Trial, Wave After Wave
As the yokai cultivators entered the grey ball of light to undergo the Heavenly Yokai King's trial, several strands of yokai qi soon appeared on its surface.
Each yokai qi represented a single yokai cultivator.
Not only that, but the various yokai qi also varied in strength.
For example, the yokai qi representing the Golden Crow Crown Prince was like a scorching flame, and his was the strongest among the rest as it gleamed with Immortal Sparks.
However, yokai qi of other top-notch yokai sky-prides was also quite powerful, such as the White Tiger Heavenly Champion, Battle Saint Ape's Yuen Feng, and others.
The yokai qi that represented them was far more potent than any ordinary yokai cultivator.
"Oh, so this is the power of the top-tier yokai Heavenly Champions, huh? Their yokai qi is way more powerful than the others."
"The Heavenly Yokai King's inheritance is truly fascinating, seeing that it can distinguish the power level of these yokai sky-prides."
The yokai cultivators outside were engaged in a discussion.
Just by looking at the yokai qi displayed on the grey ball of light, it was obvious which one among them was stronger.
Although that was not absolute, the stronger sky-prides would naturally have a higher chance of getting the inheritance.
"Brother Chu, let's go in," Tushan Fei Yu said.
"Alright."
With that, they flew into the ball of light.
The moment Chu Kuangren entered the ball of light, a bright pillar of light immediately shot into the skies, and the ball of light lit up with Immortal Sparks!
The Immortal Sparks were blinding.
Even the strongest yokai qi was more than ten times weaker than it. On top of that, it contained a transcendental intent.
"Is that the qi that's representing Chu Kuangren?"
"What a powerful qi he has. The others simply pale in comparison to him. I can't believe Chu Kuangren is so much stronger than them!"
"That monster!"
The yokai cultivators looked at the blinding Immortal Sparks and could not help but gasp. There was a horrified look in their eyes.
…
Inside the ball of light, Chu Kuangren arrived at an empty desert.
There was no one but him alone in that desert. Even Tushan Fei Yu, who came in with him, was nowhere to be found.
"So we're tested individually, huh?" Chu Kuangren murmured.
He was not surprised.
"Alright. Let's see what kind of trial the Heavenly Yokai King has prepared."
A hint of excitement flashed in his eyes.
At that moment, several figures appeared at the end of the desert.
Those were a bunch of normal yokai beasts! Among them were snakes, rats, wolves, and many other yokai beasts. Each of them was emanating yokai qi.
However, those beasts were below an Immortal's level. Chu Kuangren could kill the strongest among them a thousand times over with just his aura alone.
"The trial has started."
Chu Kuangren waved his sleeves, and his vast Immortal's Core energy swept out like a raging tide.
With a boom, heaven and earth shook!
It was as if the whole desert was on the brink of being torn apart by his Immortal's Core energy.
Soon, his Immortal's Core energy enveloped the countless yokai. All of them were killed until nothing remained!
In that instant, the surrounding yokai beasts were all wiped out. Not even a single corpse remained.
In fact, those yokai beasts were not living entities.
They were beings created by the Heavenly Yokai King's yokai qi.
"Although these yokai beasts are not so strong, the fact that he can mimic their auras so vividly says it all about the Heavenly Yokai King. He is indeed extraordinary."
Chu Kuangren knew that the trial had only just started.
Sure enough, another wave of yokai beasts soon appeared at the end of the desert after a while. Those yokai beasts were stronger overall compared to the previous ones, and some were already Immortals.
Besides that, the types of yokai species also increased.
There were the Azure Moon Wolves, Flame Tigers, Lightning Falcons, and more.
However, those beasts were nothing in the face of someone like Chu Kuangren.
He simply waved his sleeves. A burst of golden-red Phoenix's Flames immediately gushed forward and enveloped those yokai beasts, burning them all to ash.
"That's the second wave."
Not long after, the third wave of yokai beasts arrived, and they were stronger than the second wave of beasts.
Now, there were Earthen Immortal beasts among them.
Chu Kuangren made a sword hand sign and unleashed an attack.
Boom!
Upon casting his Sword-like Heavenly Intent, thousands of sword intent rained down upon the beasts.
All the yokai beasts in the third, fourth, and fifth waves were all wiped out.
The yokai beasts appeared in waves, getting stronger and stronger as the trial went on. Currently, Heavenly Immortal yokai beasts were already appearing.
Not only that, but the Beast Ruler clan's yokai and ancient Immortal beasts like the Nine-Headed Snakelet, Manticore, and Sabertooth had also appeared.
At the seventh wave, several yokai figures walked out from the end of the desert, each emanating a powerful Heavenly Immortal aura.
Moreover, all of these yokai beasts were from ancient Immortal times!
Manticore, Sabertooth, White Tiger, Golden Crow, Kui Bull… A total of ten beasts appeared!
They were ten ancient Immortal beasts that were all Higher Third-grade Heavenly Immortals!
Upon seeing that, Chu Kuangren did not panic at all. He remained calm as ever and formed a sword hand sign, gathering surges of sword qi at his fingertips.
Without another word, a flash of green light swirled within his eyes, and a stem of sword grass appeared behind him.
As the grass swayed, his sword qi shot forward into the air, tearing the skies apart!
That was the Green Leaf Sword Vision's Grass Sword Art!
"Roar!"
The Kui Bull let out a mighty roar as blood qi around it surged, releasing terrifying sound waves that spread everywhere and caused the space to rumble.
However, that was not enough to stop the incoming sword qi.
The sword qi went through it like it was nothing!
By then, the Golden Crow, Manticore, White Tiger, and others had also attacked.
Various Immortal Techniques unleashed one after another.
Golden Crow Flame, murderous qi, and many more attacks erupted. As they collided with the green sword qi, shockwaves spread throughout the whole desert.
With a bang, the sword qi was destroyed!
However, the ten ancient Immortal yokai beasts were sent flying away.
"Try this on for size."
Chu Kuangren formed his sword hand sign, and his Immortal Core energy surged.
This time, an incredibly powerful tyrannical aura erupted from his body. It was as if a tyrant ruler had descended upon the world!
He swiped his sword hand sign in the air.
An endless surge of sword qi containing a tyrannical intent gushed out at the ten yokai beasts like a storm.
That attack was…
"Blade of Zhou, Berserking Torment!"
The Berserking Torment attack shook the realm!
When the barrage of sword qi engulfed the ten yokai beasts, their Immortal bodies began to break as they could not resist the power of that attack.
In just a single attack, Chu Kuangren had killed the ten Immortal ancient beasts!
Even so, he stood in the air with an indifferent expression, as if that attack earlier did not use up much of his strength.
He patiently waited for the next wave of the trial to begin.
Meanwhile, similarly in the Heavenly Yokai King's trial, on another battlefield, a devastating burst of yokai qi rose into the air as several energies collided inside a mountain range.
Every single clash contained enough power to shatter mountains.
The Golden Crow Crown Prince was wielding an unparalleled Golden Crow Flame against a Manticore beast. With a single punch, he unleashed a wave of Golden Crow Flame that burned the Manticore, turning it to ash.
At the same time, a Battle Saint Ape came charging toward him, sending him flying with a punch.
Boom!
The Golden Crow Crown Prince was blasted into a nearby mountain.
He looked at the remaining nine Immortal ancient beasts, his face ashen. "The Heavenly Yokai King's technique is truly extraordinary. To think he can mimic the auras and divine abilities of so many ancient Immortal beasts to such an extent. It's going to be a challenge to defeat the seventh wave of yokai beasts."
Then, he took a deep breath and rushed toward them again.
This time, he unleashed his trump card — a golden sapling.
With a wave from that sapling, an incredibly fiery surge of Fusang energy erupted, sending a Sabertooth flying.
He controlled the Fusang sapling with Immortal Sparks brimming all around him.
Several hours later, he lay on the ground, panting.
"I've finally passed the seventh wave. I wonder what kind of trial awaits me after this, but it looks like getting the Heavenly Yokai King's inheritance is no easy task at all."
"Even so, I bet my performance must be the best among the many sky-prides and Heavenly Champions. I'm getting the Heavenly Yokai King's inheritance no matter what."
The Golden Crow Crown Prince let out a determined look.
After that, he took out a pill and consumed it to recover his strength.
Meanwhile, somewhere else, Chu Kuangren sensed an inexplicably terrifying yokai qi coming from the distance. He could see a gigantic Battle Saint Ape approaching him.
"The eighth wave is here!"
