Chapter 677: Dragon Ancestor’s Gift

The flas in the towering furnace reflected a glow on ng Chuan’s face. ng Chuan stood in front of the furnace, admiring it happily.

ng Chuan knew himself very well. He was already very satisfied with clearing the second trial.

The third trial?

About half of the Seventh Tribulation Eminences in history couldn’t clear it. There was still a huge gap between him and a true Seventh Tribulation Eminence.

“It’s very rare for a Sixth Tribulation Eminence to clear the second trial,” said the turtle-shelled elder with a nod. “Your foundation is deep enough. You are very close to the Seventh Tribulation realm.”

Only experts who were close to the Seventh Tribulation realm had a chance of transcending the first two trials. It was impossible for them to transcend the first two trials if they lacked in cultivation realm, willpower, and other aspects.

“Do you want to try the third trial?” asked the turtle-shelled elder.

“Although I know I can’t clear it, I have to give it a try,” said ng Chuan with a smile.

The turtle-shelled elder nodded. “The third trial requires you to fly into the furnace through the ventilation hole and experience the burning of the flas for five minutes. As long as you can withstand the flas for five minutes without being destroyed... it will be considered a success. If you die or can’t take it and choose to escape through the ventilation hole, it will be considered a failure.

“If you can’t hold on any longer, quickly escape because I’ll give you a treasure later,” said the turtle-shelled elder with a smile.

“Treasure?” ng Chuan’s eyes lit up.

A treasure bestowed by the Dragon Ancestor!

Although Ancestral Master Archean Eon was rich, apart from the Eternal treasure he had, he was far inferior to an Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s wealth in every other aspect.

In the River of Spaceti’s history, the Dragon Ancestor was publicly recognized as the wealthiest Eighth Tribulation Eminence! Just the cost of building the Nine Trials Pagoda was enough to belittle all Seventh Tribulation Eminences! The basic materials used to build the Nine Trials Pagoda were only a small portion of its value. The most expensive thing about it was the setting up of the Nine Trials. For example, clearing the so-called ninth trial... supposedly allowed one to attain Eternity. To have such a rumor, it had to be, at least, recognized by many Eighth Tribulation Eminences.

How could such a wealthy Eighth Tribulation Eminence give him a small gift?

“Those who are invited to the Nine Trials Pagoda are all guests of the Dragon Ancestor. The Dragon Ancestor will give them a treasure on their first visit,” said the turtle-shelled elder.

ng Chuan nodded slightly.

Although they were all invited guests, the treasures given by the Dragon Ancestor were of different grades.

Guests who had a chance of reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm, guests who had no hope of reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm, the elderly or the young...

ng Chuan knew there was a difference.

Back when Ancestral Master Archean Eon entered the Nine Trials Pagoda for the first ti, he cleared the third trial. The treasures bestowed by the Nine Trials Pagoda were worth a million cubes. According to Ancestral Master Archean Eon, it’s neither high nor low. ng Chuan thought to himself that the Eminences who had been to the Nine Trials Pagoda would also exchange information. He heard that the worst treasures were worth hundreds of thousands of cubes and the ordinary ones were worth a million cubes.

I wonder what treasure the Nine Trials Pagoda will give . ng Chuan was also wondering.

The Dragon Ancestor didn’t appear in this era. The Dragon Ancestor had set the rules for the gifting in advance. The Nine Trials Pagoda’s array spirit only needed to follow the rules.

I’ll first attempt the third trial. ng Chuan didn’t think too much about it as he instantly ford another Essence Soul avatar.

The new Essence Soul avatar flew into the furnace through the ventilation hole.

...

Boom!

The furnace’s flas burned terrifyingly. When ng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar flew in, he could sense the flas’ terrifying might.

Thankfully, he had already grasped the spatial law. With a thought, he ford an Absolute Space around him.

The Absolute Space suppressed the flas on a spatial level. Furthermore, countless layers of space ford around ng Chuan. Although it looked like it only spanned ten feet, there were indeed innurable spatial layers. One mont, it might be trillions of layers, but the next mont, it would split into tens of trillions of layers. These spatial layers would vary with the flas.

ng Chuan took advantage of the situation. The changes in the spatial layers were to suppress, block, and weaken the flas.

Just Absolute Space alone could easily kill a top Sixth Tribulation Eminence. If he wasn’t willing, those Sixth Tribulation Eminences would never be able to touch ng Chuan.

This was the difference between the two parties.

A peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence had a status close to that of a half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminence. For example, they held a Deputy Patroller Token in White Avian Hall.

I can barely hold on? Inside the furnace, ng Chuan could suppress the furnace flas. The flas could only reach three feet away from ng Chuan.

As expected of the spatial law. With this move, I can fight Seventh Tribulation Eminences. ng Chuan sighed inwardly.

When ng Chuan entered the furnace, the furnace flas were suppressed by Absolute Space at the beginning. However, the flas slowly beca stronger as ti passed.

Boom!

The dark-red furnace flas intensified as they constantly encroached ng Chuan.

Although the trillions of spatial layers around ng Chuan changed accordingly, they were still burned through layer by layer. Even though ng Chuan used various thods to deal with the flas—flattening them to two dinsions, or compressing the space into a tiny fla of annihilation... the flas’ might beca stronger and stronger. Even space was burned to smithereens, becoming the most primitive spatial lepton.

Space was also composed of leptons as well.

Normally, slicing through space was like slicing through a piece of tofu, but the essence of the tofu remained the sa.

However, the flas burned space into its lepton cluster state.

How do I block it? I need stronger laws. ng Chuan condensed a black protective layer around his body. He tried to use the spatial law, lepton law, and lightning law to form the Chaos Hole’s profundities.

Comprehending an Origins law isn’t possible in a short period of ti. ng Chuan sensed how lacking he was.

These three laws already covered about 90% of the Chaos Hole law’s profundities. ng Chuan still needed to accumulate more insights and grasp the remaining profundities. It was relatively easy to accumulate more insights with ti.

After that, he would consolidate all his insights!

Combining everything together to form the Chaos Hole law was difficult.

It took him quite so ti to gain spatial insights until he reached a threshold and comprehended the spatial law.

Furthermore, I will still be affected by karma at the combination stage. ng Chuan still rembered that he had made a karmic promise that he would kill three Sixth Tribulation forbidden creatures when he was at the Sixth Tribulation realm. If he didn’t break through to the Seventh Tribulation realm, he naturally wouldn’t be affected.

But since he was close to the boundary, this karma would begin to obstruct him. It would prevent him from comprehending a Seventh Tribulation law. His future cultivation would be affected. Thus, ng Chuan had to resolve the karma.

Three Sixth Tribulation forbidden creatures. ng Chuan was very confident. After all, a Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature had strength similar to an ordinary Sixth Tribulation Eminence.

Boom!

As he thought of the forbidden creatures, the flas continued to encroach deeper. ng Chuan was helpless as he watched the resistance put up by Absolute Space weaken.

I can’t hold on any longer. The flas finally touched the black protective layer on ng Chuan’s body. The black protective layer was useless as it was still burned through.

The mont it burned through—

Chi—

ng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar was completely annihilated. Even the lepton cluster dissipated completely.

Clearly, a Lepton Undying Body was nothing compared to the furnace’s fire.

I have to last for five minutes? Outside the furnace, ng Chuan’s other Essence Soul avatar watched and sighed. I only lasted for a minute.

“To clear the third trial, grasping an Origins law is the most basic requirent. Otherwise, it’s impossible for you to withstand it,” said the turtle-shelled elder with a smile. “It’s already very rare for a Sixth Tribulation Eminence like you to last a minute inside.”

ng Chuan had to admit this.

If one hadn’t comprehended a spatial law, even a Sixth Tribulation Eminence—who had powerful life-preservation ans—would be instantly annihilated in the furnace.

“You failed the third trial.” The turtle-shelled elder looked at ng Chuan. “Do you want to try again, or do you want to give up? If you give up, I can give you treasures according to Dragon Ancestor’s rules.”

“Of course, I’ll give up,” said ng Chuan.

The earlier he obtained the treasures, the better. After tens of thousands of years, when he was strong enough, the treasures would only be icing on the cake.

The turtle-shelled elder looked at the furnace. With a boom, the rotary valve automatically turned in the opposite direction and returned to its original position. At the sa ti, the flas in the furnace were completely extinguished.

“ng Chuan, you’ve cultivated for a total of 5,393 years.” The turtle-shelled elder looked at ng Chuan. “It’s considered very rare for you to pass the Nine Trials Pagoda’s second trial. According to the rules set by Dragon Ancestor, I can offer you three treasures—from which you shall choose one.”

With that said, the turtle-shelled elder waved his hand.

Three illusory figures appeared in front of him.

The first illusory figure was a crystalline, irregular fragnt. ng Chuan felt an inexplicable fondness for it just by looking at it. He liked it from the bottom of his heart. He felt that this fragnt was more beautiful than anything he had ever seen.

“An Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence took the initiative to offend an Eternal existence’s ho universe before his death. Perhaps he wanted to personally experience the ans left behind by an Eternal existence,” said the turtle-shelled elder. “In the end... that Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s Essence Soul shattered into many fragnts, and he died instantly. This fragnt... is an Essence Soul fragnt left behind by that Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence after he died.”

ng Chuan found it unbelievable. He died despite his Essence Soul fragnts still being present?

Even ng Chuan could survive as long as a sliver of his Essence Soul remained.

“You still don’t know much about the life and death of Eighth Tribulation Eminences since they are beyond the River of Spaceti,” said the turtle-shelled elder. “Even if their bodies and Essence Souls are intact, Eternal existences can still kill them.”

ng Chuan fell into deep thought. Eternal?

The Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence probably knew how terrifying an Eternal was. However, he was close to the end of his lifespan. If he didn’t give it a try, he wouldn’t have a chance. To personally experience the ans left behind by an Eternal existence was a calamity, but it was also an opportunity to break through to beco Eternal.

“The second treasure.” The turtle-shelled elder pointed at the second illusory figure.

The second illusory figure had three rings: black, white, and gray.

“You should be following the Chaos Hole lineage. This is an Eighth Tribulation treasure array formation that uses the Chaos Hole law as its core—the Tri-Ring Chaos Hole Array,” said the turtle-shelled elder. “Each Tri-Ring treasure is an Eighth Tribulation treasure worth a million cubes. It’s even rarer when combined. Most of the weapons and treasures used by Seventh Tribulation Eminences aren’t as powerful as this.”

ng Chuan’s eyes burned. This was the strongest treasure he had ever seen in the Chaos Hole lineage. Eternal Tower wouldn’t sell such an item to outsiders.

“The third and final treasure.” The turtle-shelled elder pointed at the final illusory figure. It was a token. “A rare treasure—Spaceti Token. It can only be used when one has grasped a spatial law,” said the turtle-shelled elder.
