King of Creation-Chapter 655 - 647: The Trial Ends

Hiss!

Hiss, hiss!

On the periphery of the Beast Tide besieging Qin Hu, the Black Winged Thunder Python, as if gone mad, ceaselessly assaulted the outer Demon Beasts, trying to burrow into the center of the Beast Tide.

However, there were too many Demon Beasts; as many as seventy or eighty Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Beasts on the perimeter. Even though the Black Winged Thunder Python was a Heavenly Level Middle Grade Demon Beast, it could not withstand the assault from so many Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Beasts.

Within a few breaths, amid mournful cries, it was torn into pieces.

Ye Zhen arrived at the location where Qin Hu was besieged by the Beast Tide after the Black Winged Thunder Python had been ripped to shreds.

It must be said, these Heavenly Level Demon Beasts possessed remarkable Spirit Wisdom; even with delicious Blood Food right in front of them, upon sensing Ye Zhen’s aura, they didn’t hesitate to swiftly depart.

Of course, it could also be said that the old ancestor of the Demon Race’s command execution was astoundingly impressive.

It was unknown whether it was Ye Zhen’s luck or the tragedy of Thunderbolt Sword Qin Hu, but after Ye Zhen arrived and drove away the Demon Beasts, Qin Hu was still alive, incredibly.

However, he was alive only in the barest sense, being not far from death.

Both legs and one arm were gone, there was a large collapsed area in his chest, foam mixed with fragments of organs ceaselessly bubbled from Qin Hu’s mouth, and there was a large transparent hole in his abdomen.

Upon Ye Zhen’s arrival, the dying Qin Hu’s eyes suddenly brightened, and struggling, he used his last bit of strength to ask Ye Zhen three words, "Why... why..."

Ye Zhen didn’t answer; the question couldn’t be explained in just a few words. A few breaths later, Qin Hu died with his eyes wide open, filled with unwillingness.

To Ye Zhen’s frustration, he didn’t find Qin Hu’s Storage Ring. The left hand that had been wearing the Storage Ring had already disappeared without a trace, possibly swallowed by some Demon Beast and taken away.

The only thing Ye Zhen gained from Qin Hu was a Supreme Treasure Sword that could amplify Thunder Spirit Power. With a gentle push of Spiritual Power, the sword would shimmer with electric arcs.

Oh, and also three Trial Tokens.

One was found on Qin Hu, and the other two were found on the corpse of the Black Winged Thunder Python.

In fact, before this, Ye Zhen had never imagined Qin Hu would die such a death!

It could only be said that it was Qin Hu’s cleverness that led to his demise; Ye Zhen believed that had Qin Hu faced him in an upright battle, the outcome wouldn’t have been so tragic!

Yawning lengthily, Ye Zhen once again climbed onto the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten and shot into the sky. In that instant, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense once again flowed like water into the Low Grade Spirit Artifact Great Momentum Hammer on his wrist, turning it as he nurtured the Low Grade Spirit Artifact with his Spiritual Power and Divine Soul Power.

These past few days, except during combat, Ye Zhen had been doing this at every moment, nurturing the Low Grade Spirit Artifact Great Momentum Hammer with the Water Grinding Technique.

Ye Zhen estimated that in one or two more days, he could manipulate the Great Momentum Hammer with ease, and even use it in combat at critical moments. Of course, to fully unleash the power of the Great Momentum Hammer would require prolonged nurturing.

"There’s still one day left. With such a conspicuous beacon that can be seen from a hundred miles away, I wonder if I’ll encounter any prey?" Ye Zhen mused with some anticipation as he flew into the sky.

Six Trial Tokens stacked together had a very wide radiation range of special signals. Ye Zhen estimated that it could reach as far as a hundred miles.

In such a case, it might bring more prey to Ye Zhen. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

As the seventh day of entering the Trial Secret Realm arrived, it signified the end of the first qualifying trial of the Spirit Returning Assembly.

In the sky, one could hardly see the shadow of any Martial Artist, except for Ye Zhen. Everywhere were Demon Beasts prowling about searching for the aura of Trial Tokens.

A thousand miles away from Ye Zhen in a lush clump of grass, two Heavenly Level Lower Grade Demon Beasts were leisurely roaming about, occasionally nibbling on fresh succulent grass.

A Mystic Light Blue Ox eyed a large bunch of sparkling clear green grass nearby; with a toss of its head, its tongue rolled out towards it, but the moment it touched, the tongue shockingly vibrated as if it had encountered a barrier.

A layer of blue light abruptly rose in front of the two Mystic Light Blue Oxen.

Moo!

With an angry bellow, one of the Mystic Light Blue Oxen ferociously charged at the blue barrier.

A disheveled figure suddenly leaped out from the barrier of blue light.

"Damn it, to think I’ve been discovered!" Nian Xinghe complained with a scowl on his face!

Next, Nian Xinghe, practically using his fastest speed, activated the Low Grade Spirit Artifact Blazing Flame Light-Sealing Sword given by the Sect Leader and swiftly slew the two Mystic Light Blue Oxen, then fled far away.

This time, Nian Xinghe chose a barren sandy area with little vegetation; after selecting his location, he again cast the Great Lost Track Divine Talisman, personally refined by the Sun and Moon Divine Sect Leader Jian Qianxiong, to thoroughly conceal his aura.

Only after the Divine Talisman completely covered his presence did he look towards the distant seven or eight confused Demon Beasts and breathe a sigh of relief.

His experiences after gathering three Trial Tokens were truly terrifying, having the potential to attract Demon Beasts from dozens of miles around.

There were several times even Nian Xinghe barely escaped death.

Because of this, Nian Xinghe didn’t hesitate to use the Great Lost Track Divine Talisman given by the Sect Leader, calmly waiting for the end of this trial.

However, Nian Xinghe was very worried; if he was in such a dire situation, what about the others?

"Even Ye Zhen might not be faring much better than I am. He doesn’t even have a Low Grade Spirit Artifact! But I hope he’s doing fine..."

Nian Xinghe’s thoughts at this moment were complicated. In his heart, he hoped that Ye Zhen would pass the trial safely for the sake of the Divine Sect and for Feng Qingyue; if Ye Zhen returned safely, Feng Qingyue wouldn’t be heartbroken.

Yet, deep down, there was another hope. If something happened to Ye Zhen, would he still have a chance?

....

At the same time, similar events to what Nian Xinghe experienced were constantly unfolding within the Trial Secret Realm.

Almost all factions had bestowed jade talismans that could hide one’s Qi, with the only difference being the quantity and quality.

Basically, as long as a martial artist had collected enough three trial tokens, they would generally use a jade talisman to hide their Qi and wait for the moment when the trial would end.

Even the White Bone Young Master, Lio Kechu, was now cowering within a talisman formation that hid his Qi just like Nian Xinghe. Over the course of four or five days, the wound on his right arm had already healed into a bald and ugly lump of flesh.

With the strength of a Vein Forging Realm powerhouse, regrowing limbs out of thin air was not yet possible. However, within the Longevity Sect, there existed such a pill capable of regenerating limbs. It was expected that after he got out, he would probably be able to ask the Sect Hierarch for one.

Every time he thought of how he was cowering like a rat in a tree hole, White Bone Young Master Lio Kechu felt filled with resentment and venom.

"Ye Zhen!"

"Just you wait, when it comes to the Spirit Returning ranking battle, I will personally kill you and take back my spiritual artifact!"

Some were very good at hiding, while others were much less fortunate.

For instance, Yub Hea from the Sun and Moon Divine Sect was fleeing desperately, with eight demon beasts cornering him from all directions.

The leading one, a Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Beast, was incredibly fast!

"Damn his ancestors, I can’t even collect enough three trial tokens right now, let alone save my own life! It’s truly ridiculous. I even promised that bitch Yua Hanjing to kill Ye Zhen!

Look at me now, how am I supposed to kill Ye Zhen, what could I possibly use to kill Ye Zhen?

I’m so fucking stupid to have agreed to that bitch’s request, to have come to this death-bringing Spirit Returning Assembly. I’m such a fucking idiot... Ah!"

While cursing angrily, Yub Hea ranted in frustration and let out one hysterical roar after another, feeling he was about to lose his ability to go on. Each roar allowed him to burst forth with power, but with each burst, the power released grew less and less.

This feeling made Yub Hea increasingly fearful, realizing that death was not far away!

"Anyone who can save me will have my gratitude for eighteen generations...," Yub Hea roared helplessly, seeming to smell the bloody stench emanating from the mouths of the Heavenly Level Demon Beasts chasing him down.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, Yub Hea glimpsed a figure abruptly appearing in the sky!

With the strength and eyesight of a Second Stage Vein Forging Realm martial artist, he instantly recognized the person.

Even though he recognized the person as Ye Zhen, it didn’t impede his will and determination to survive.

"Save me!"

"Save me, please!"

Yub Hea screamed in a pleading tone at Ye Zhen, who was dozens of miles away!

No miracle occurred!

Including Ye Zhen, no one was willing to earn Yub Hea’s gratitude for eighteen generations.

The world is cruel!

With a crack!

Blood splattered everywhere!

Suddenly, Yub Hea was torn into pieces and consumed by the bellies of demon beasts, which, within a few hours, would turn him into several fresh piles of dung!

Dozens of breaths later, Ye Zhen appeared in front of a pool of blood, his expression somewhat strange.

As Ye Zhen arrived, those Heavenly Level Demon Beasts bolted in all directions, and Ye Zhen couldn’t even find the two trial tokens he had just spotted.

Actually, Ye Zhen had heard Yub Hea’s cries for help, but Ye Zhen was no god!

By the time he heard the cries, the massive jaws of a Heavenly Level High Grade Demon Beast had already viciously clamped down on Yub Hea’s waist.

If it were possible, Ye Zhen would have saved Yub Hea!

Of course, Ye Zhen wouldn’t save an enemy who wanted to kill him, nor would he bother to save the heart and soul of a nemesis. The only reason Ye Zhen considered saving Yub Hea was purely from a human standpoint; he didn’t want to see a person become food for a demon beast.

If Ye Zhen really had saved Yub Hea, it would have only delayed the latter’s death by a few hours.

After getting the information he wanted from Yub Hea, Ye Zhen would give him a quick death. Regrettably, fate did not grant Ye Zhen that opportunity!

As night fell, Ye Zhen stopped wandering around. He realized that no matter how much he moved, he couldn’t encounter any more prey.

The daunting aura radiated by the six trial tokens on him, which reached hundreds of miles, would attract all the demon beasts from within that range. Then, as those beasts neared Ye Zhen, they would again scatter with a roar.

This kind of gathering and scattering of demon beasts essentially ensured that within a hundred miles, not a single martial artist would dare to show up, and even if they did by chance, they would flee as far as possible.

So, Ye Zhen simply sat down cross-legged on the ground, tempering the Great Momentum Hammer while circulating his cultivation technique. If there was time to cultivate, he would. Accumulating little by little had always been something Ye Zhen adhered to.

"Just two more hours, and the trial will end..." Muttering to himself, Ye Zhen closed his eyes.

The Trial Secret Realm became quiet at that moment as all martial artists were using either jade talismans or secret techniques to hide themselves, waiting for the instant the trial would end.

In contrast to the quietness inside the Trial Secret Realm, Immortal Light Mountain was abuzz with noise as the heads of the Five Great Forces were arguing fiercely!

Each of them was vociferously boasting about the imminent results of the battle! (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
