Chapter 2658: Chapter 2656: Trial of Life and Death
Ethan Smith took a sharp breath. It’s important to know that this sect has existed within the Holy Kingdom for such a long ti.
This once-in-fifty-years martial arts tournant has incredibly lucrative rewards, not to ntion the deeper significance behind it.
“May I ask a question? Why is Elder Heart Moon telling so much?”
Ethan couldn’t help but ask.
“Among the outsiders, your strength is not the strongest. There’s already soone who has fully achieved the True Spirit Realm here, and the skill technique he practices is closely related to our Taoist arts.”
Elder Heart Moon took out a gourd, from which a drop of water trickled out.
In the air, it slowly ford a water mirror, within the ripples appeared a person.
“Flower Field!”
Ethan’s expression changed as he saw Flower Field currently massacring in the Ancient Demon Land, his face grew heavy.
“So strong, I didn’t expect him to also enter here.”
“Do you know him?”
Serena asked with so confusion from the side.
“There’s so bad blood. This person seems to cultivate the Path of Destiny Energy, allowing him to see strengths we can hardly perceive.”
Ethan nodded, not saying much more.
With Flower Field’s strength, before entering this Holy Kingdom, he was definitely below Ethan.
But unexpectedly, he obtained the Divine Fire Rune of Saint Path Profound, and his strength now has completely surpassed Ethan’s.
“His appearance here must an he’s already seen sothing beneficial to him, otherwise he wouldn’t show up so flamboyantly.”
Ethan slightly furrowed his brow. He had clashed with Flower Field several tis.
The most recent encounter was also when he was closest to death.
In a mont of near-fatal injury, Flower Field’s ambush almost claid his life, and since then, Ethan had never sensed his presence again.
“Hmm, I suspect he is the candidate chosen by our Valley Master Dan, taking advantage of this martial arts tournant to examine thoroughly. Also, I sense within him a terrifying power, one that even I fear.”
Elder Heart Moon said with a frown.
Ethan’s expression remained unchanged, but his heart was storming within.
If Elder Heart Moon felt afraid of such a power, how could he withstand it?
“You just asked why I chose you. It’s related to the inner cultivation I practice. Man follows Earth, Earth follows Heaven, Heaven follows the Path. The inner cultivation I practice aligns with natural dao techniques, this power is peaceful, calm, and flows naturally. It has no strong offensive force, but it allows my perception to be very keen, even comparable to the Valley Master’s.”
Elder Heart Moon said softly.
“I don’t like the aura on that person, but when it cos to you, my cultivation skill finds your aura particularly pleasing.”
With a movent of Elder Heart Moon’s power, her entire aura emanated fully.
And this aura seeped into every pore on Ethan’s body, yet Ethan felt no discomfort.
“Rest assured, this power has no offensive force.”
Seeing Ethan a bit tense, Elder Heart Moon smiled and shook her head.
Ethan was a bit surprised, as it was the first ti he witnessed such an extraordinary cultivation skill.
The aura seed to have its own consciousness, echoing with his inner power, as if two forces were playing like little children together.
In a short ti, Ethan felt his Divine Soul lighten, no longer burdened by a previous feeling of heaviness and discomfort.
“Could it be the Retribution Seal within causing Elder Heart Moon’s cultivation skill to feel so compatible?”
Ethan quietly analyzed, knowing Seal Demon Valley arose due to Morning Frost, so their skill techniques involved so power of Morning Frost.
His Retribution Seal was also transford from the power of Morning Frost, so the compatibility made sense.
“This is a colossal change, and this martial arts tournant will be far bloodier than before, because those who cannot pass even this stage have no right to compete for the position of Holy Lord. Everyone except the elders can participate in the martial arts tournant, life and death are disregarded. Although your power resonates with mine, the strength you display is too weak. Whether facing outsiders or disciples within Seal Demon Valley.”
Elder Heart Moon shook her head slightly, letting out a nearly inaudible sigh.
If Ethan could fully grasp the Path of Rules and reach the True Spirit Realm, he might still have a chance, but right now, his strength was simply too weak.
Though the Rule Sequence he comprehended was powerful, based on Ethan’s previous battles, he hadn’t fully mastered it either.
It was a self-destructive Rule Sequence capable of repelling others while potentially harming himself; in severe cases, it could backfire, reducing him to a re puppet.
Ethan remained silent, indeed, compared to Flower Field, his strength was insufficient.
However, he had his own thods. Elder Heart Moon had said so much to him, so there must be more to co, and he only needed to listen quietly.
“In this Sealed Demon Valley’s Ground, everything requires a considerable amount of dao points to exchange for, and so of these can significantly enhance your strength. Dao points are accumulated from sect tasks, and obtaining them isn’t easy.”
Elder Heart Moon said softly.
“Including you, I will set a test for so people. If you can earn my approval, I will offer you my greatest assistance, but this test could very well lead to death.”
Elder Heart Moon said with a smile.
“Engage in a life-or-death duel with my combat avatar. If you can hold out for a quarter of an hour, I’ll consider you passing my test.”
“Master.”
Serena couldn’t help but interject from the side.
“That is the master’s combat avatar, and Master’s natural dao technique has compressed their combat awareness to near invisibility, sealing it within their avatar. Once the combat avatar begins, it’s a deadly spar, unless the master retracts the avatar at the appointed ti, otherwise, you cannot escape, under the Divine Might of the True Spirit, you are dood to fail.”
“Do you accept? Or should today’s eting be considered rely a dreamscape?”
Elder Heart Moon said softly.
“I accept, bring it on.”
Ethan almost agreed without hesitation; a clash with Flower Field was inevitable.
His skill technique was rather peculiar, though he wasn’t sure if it could be practiced here, based on his earlier performance, it seed he continued the previous cultivation skills, and might have advanced further.
With his Destiny Energy pinpoint technique, escape was impossible.
Moreover, before entering here, Ethan had been granted the Heart of the Holy Kingdom by Morning Frost.
If he couldn’t even accept this test, he wouldn’t be able to get past himself internally.
“I should remind you, in the past, I’ve given this test to many outsiders, but very few have survived against another of my natural dao technique’s combat avatars. Asking again, do you wish to take on this trial?”
As Elder Heart Moon spoke, a hint of blood filled his entire eyes.
