The towering martial platform stood majestically. Countless figures were shouting and cheering from all directions.
"Dong …"
A bell rang, and the battle was about to begin.
"Reincarnation Spacetime!"
Almost at the same time the bell rang, Ye Chen's eyes glowed intensely. Like two beams of divine light, an invisible force imprinted itself into the mind of the Demigod Seventh Heaven expert.
Ye Chen held his breath and felt an unprecedented nervousness. If the method failed, he would be eliminated …
"Boom!"
The Demigod Seventh Heaven expert's body trembled slightly. Then, he became confused and lost his focus. At the same time, Ye Chen felt his consciousness enter a vast ocean. This ocean was the Demigod Seventh Heaven expert's consciousness.
"Reincarnation Gate!"
Ye Chen stood above the Demigod Sea. He pointed his finger, and a huge stone door opened slowly. A strong suction force came from the door and covered the entire ocean.
On this ocean, the waves were turbulent, as if they were struggling crazily. Soon, a black figure rushed out of the ocean. It looked like a lost youth. His eyes were confused, and he rushed toward the Reincarnation Gate.
"Rumble!"
Raging waves swept up and knocked the figure down. However, not long after, the figure rushed out of the sea again and charged towards the Gate of Reincarnation. After being knocked down over a dozen times, it was finally sucked into the Gate of Reincarnation.
"Reincarnation!"
Ye Chen held out his hand, and the Reincarnation Gate shrank and fell into his palm. Behind his head, a halo of wisdom appeared. It had a holy and vast aura.
Ye Chen was like a Holy Lord who controlled reincarnation. His eyes shone brightly. His consciousness entered the Reincarnation Gate and controlled everything.
"Reincarnation!"
"Reincarnation!"
The power of reincarnation strengthened the figure in the Reincarnation Gate.
Soon, this figure began his first reincarnation. In his first life, he was reincarnated into a rich family and became a cripple. Since he was young, he was tortured, despised, looked down on, and ostracized by his family. In the end, even the woman he loved the most left him and even called him a "trash".
Halfway through this tragic life, when he was 16 years old, he finally couldn't take it anymore and committed suicide by hanging himself.
In his second life, he was reincarnated into a modern world in a humble family. His parents died when he was young, and he became an orphan. He was adopted by a rich lady, but because he was framed and accused of stealing, he was chased out and left to wander outside. In the end, he met a very kind girl who adopted him.
But this girl was captured by bad people and stripped naked in front of him …
The tragic second life ended.
In the third reincarnation, he became an animal. He was whipped by others, spurned by others, and in the end, skinned and tortured by a few naughty children …
One tragic life after another played out in this person's soul and body. Every story was made up by Ye Chen. In this fantasy world, he was the emperor!
After 82 reincarnations, this person's soul collapsed. He couldn't take the torture and died on his own.
…
On the battle platform.
* Plop! *
The body of the Demigod Seventh Firmament man fell to the ground. His eyes dimmed, and there was no trace of consciousness on his body. His soul had withered and died.
"Success!" The system's voice sounded. "Do you want to continue?"
"Continue!"
Ye Chen agreed without hesitation. He stared at the gradually fading figure on the ground. His eyes shone with surprise. Just as he thought, the people here didn't have strong soul power.
The battle ended in less than a second from the start.
Although the Demigod Seventh Firmament man had experienced 82 reincarnations, it only took a thought in the real world.
With this experience, the following battles were much simpler. The Demigod Eighth Firmament and Ninth Firmament experts were tortured to death not long after encountering Ye Chen.
In the world of reincarnation, one reincarnation after reincarnation would result in all kinds of tragedies. Grief would exhaust one's soul fire, and when one's grief was too much, their soul would wither and die.
Therefore, when one's mood was good, their soul fire would burn brighter, and their lifespan would be longer.
"Final test. Do you want to proceed?" The system's voice sounded.
Ye Chen nodded. "Yes."
Shua!
A figure appeared out of thin air. He was tall and sturdy, and his arms were muscular. He stared coldly at Ye Chen. There was a brown dot between his eyebrows. He was obviously someone from the Star Civilization.
"Primary-level False Divinity!"
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed as he retracted his soul force. His soul force was at the peak of the Sixth Order Wise, and it wouldn't be effective against a Primary-level False Divinity.
Dong!
The battle began!
Whoosh!
The Primary-level False Divinity rushed over like the wind. His speed far surpassed Ye Chen's because his physique was at least at level 1,000,000.
Although the Primary-level False Divinity expert only had 10 to 100 points of pseudo-divinity energy, he would need over 10 million points of pseudo-divinity energy to resist.
Ye Chen's eyes narrowed. He raised his hand and pointed at the Primary-level False Divinity expert. A dense golden light shot out from his finger.
Boom!
The golden light pierced through everything. In the blink of an eye, the Primary-level True Divinity expert's forehead was pierced through. His body stiffened, and he slid to the ground.
"Success!"
Shua!
Ye Chen only felt his vision blur, and the virtual connection to his brain collapsed. His vision returned to the pure white space.
"Test passed." A robotic voice sounded.
The corners of Ye Chen's lips curled up. He turned around and left without any hesitation. Not far behind him, the door had opened for him.
After leaving the space, Ye Chen returned to the square. In front of him was a thick stone door. The deep voice sounded as usual, "Congratulations on passing the second test. Next, it's the final test!"
"The final test?" Ye Chen's eyes lit up.
The mysterious imprints on the majestic stone door slowly shrank and merged into the stone door. Then, the majestic stone door slowly opened, and a bright tunnel appeared in front of Ye Chen. The inside was paved with white metal, and it was vast and spacious. At the end of the tunnel was a majestic stone pyramid with a total of nine levels!
"Enter. Your test is on the inheritance stage." The deep voice on the stone door spoke.
Ye Chen cupped his fists together. Then, he took a step forward and walked into the stone door. Soon, he arrived in front of the pyramid-like nine level stone platform.
He raised his head and looked up.
The stone platform was vast and boundless. It was as tall as a mountain. A Metal Man stood at the entrance of the staircase on the first level. When Ye Chen walked over, the Metal Man, who was twenty feet tall, rolled his eyes slowly. Two beams of light shot out from his crystal-like eyes as he stared at Ye Chen.
"Target locked!"
"Scan!"
"Strength: Peak Demigod. Armor: Virtual God (Between Peak Demigod and Pseudo God). Total combat strength: one star!"
Information about Ye Chen was scanned into the Metal Man's brain chip, including his bones, genes, blood type, and so on.
Ye Chen noticed the Metal Man's strange behavior. He stopped in his tracks and looked alert.
"Hello!" The Metal Man spoke.
Ye Chen frowned and asked, "Are you an examiner?"
The Metal Man's voice was low and hoarse. "No, I'm one of my master's guards. Back then, the rest of the guards exploded in the battle. I'm the only one who survived."
Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and asked, "Where is the last assessment?"
The Metal Man pointed at the nine-floored stone mountain and said, "It's Tiandao Mountain!"
"Tiandao Mountain?"
Ye Chen could not help turning his head to look at the towering stone mountain. He could not see the peak with his naked eyes. This showed how lofty the mountain was.
"The previous assessments were to train your temperament. It's the same for the last assessment. If you want to inherit my master's legacy, you must have strong willpower. You must not be afraid of being criticized and cursed by thousands."
"Therefore, the last assessment is actually to challenge Tiandao Mountain!
Tiandao Mountain is my master's palace. It's lofty and hard. The pressure on it makes it difficult for people to get close. There's a legacy on every level. There are nine levels of the legacy. You can only complete it when you get to the ninth level! "
"With your current ability, how many levels you can reach will depend on your fate," the Metal Man said in a low and hoarse voice.
Ye Chen was startled for a moment. He immediately turned his head to look at the majestic Heavenly Dao Mountain. He was silent for a moment before he took a step forward. With some determination, he walked up the stone steps that led to the top of the mountain.
He stepped on the first stone step.
Bang!
Ye Chen's body trembled slightly. He felt a strong and terrible pressure spread all over his body. It made his thoughts stop. It was as if a mountain was pressing on his shoulders. It made his heart tremble. His skin shrank and drops of sweat were squeezed out.
Ye Chen was shocked. He did not expect the first stone step to be so terrible. He was afraid that those who had not reached the Sage Realm would collapse and die the moment they stepped on it.
He gritted his teeth and walked up the stone steps against the heavy pressure.
One step after another.
One step after another.
Ye Chen's body was trembling violently. His skin was shrinking. When he reached the 100th step, he felt as if his bones were being crushed.
The pressure on the Tiandao Mountain seemed to be real. It not only trained his willpower, but also his body.
Ye Chen felt waves of shock waves washing over his mind. It was as if countless fierce beasts were roaring at his brain. They were not far in front of him. He felt as if his hot breath was blowing on his face.
He gritted his teeth. Facing these fierce beasts, he felt great mental pressure. He took another step forward!
The pressure increased sharply!
Ye Chen's bones were creaking slightly. Bean-sized drops of blood seeped out of his pores and dyed his armor red. He looked like a man of blood.
There was only one thought in his mind: Go forward, go forward, go forward!
Just a little more …
Then he could touch …
Bang!
When he reached the 165th stone step, his body was suddenly squeezed by the pressure. He flew out and fell heavily on the hard ground. His body seemed to fall apart, but the pain in his heart was even more unbearable.
