"If I want to use unorthodox thods, it seems I can only set my sights on him."
Su Chen put away the Ignition Cinders that had gathered together like finely crushed flowing gold. "He has a thod to bypass the Trial and allow Qin Yun and the others to beco Recognized Chosen. But I only want to take a look at the Profession Requirents, and I might not even necessarily need to see them entirely. It's not like I want to beco The Chosen, so the difficulty shouldn't be considered high."
"That's not right either... He only claid to have this thod. After using his thod, this Spirit of the Vast Sun was actually enraged instead, and they didn't actually succeed."
Then this matter is really not easy to handle... Su Chen calculated. Now he actually wanted to have a chat with that Remnant Spirit.
Unfortunately, it was almost impossible.
His gaze fell on that tallic Palace not far away. He tentatively lifted his foot, intending to take a step forward.
Before his foot could land, he felt an invisible Great Strength suddenly co from his surroundings, like an invisible wall forcefully pushing him back.
Su Chen stealthily exerted force, but the power of the invisible barrier was unimaginably huge. It wasn't until he was forcefully pushed to the edge that the invisible force disappeared.
"Such a big Temper, I can't even take a look. It's not like I'm doing anything."
Su Chen muttered a sentence and could only turn around and walk down the stairs. Standing atop the Pyramid, he could take in most of the Space in this area.
"I wonder if there's anything similar to the Remnant Spirit in other places—" He descended the stairs, his gaze falling on the palace beneath the top platform.
Below the top platform was The Ninth Layer.
There was only one palace hall here; the rest were tal walls built of piled-up blocks. When he ca up, Su Chen was afraid there might be so taboos or rules, so he didn't rashly set foot anywhere outside the Grand Thoroughfare.
But now that he had a status, he grew slightly bolder and stepped off the Grand Thoroughfare stairs.
Approaching this sole palace on The Ninth Layer, the guards on both sides looked much more burly and upright compared to the guards of the other palaces. On the surface of their purple-copper tal bodies, the seams were extrely tight, and so dark patterns were carved on them.
Only after he stepped over a certain boundary did the guards' pupils suddenly light up with a Purple Light, emitting a chilling coldness.
Su Chen instantly stopped in his tracks, no longer walking forward, only sizing them up.
The style of this palace was much heavier and more magnificent than those at the bottom of the tower. It was even almost identical to the palace above that housed the Spirit of the Vast Sun. A fine, blood-like dark light flowed on its surface, carved with dense and complex patterns.
Su Chen carefully examined it for a few glances, then turned back to the Grand Thoroughfare. "With Recognition of the Three Dragons, I can choose nine palaces on the sixth layer and below for Trials. The seventh, eighth, and ninth layers should be prepared for The Chosen. Who knows what good things are hidden inside."
"This place is probably the Resource Depository prepared for the Successor by the dead Blazing Sun Tier."
Su Chen muttered as he walked down. The eighth layer only had two palaces, and the seventh layer had four. The number of these palaces left for The Chosen to open was not considered large.
When he arrived at The Sixth Layer, the number of palaces increased significantly. Just looking at one side, there were four.
"I really wonder what exactly is inside here." Su Chen, quite curiously, stepped off the Grand Thoroughfare and arrived in front of the nearest palace.
As expected, this ti the tal guards standing on both sides had no reaction. He got close to these guards and carefully examined them. Their pupils were pitch-black, a deep void inside, and nothing could be seen.
He tentatively knocked on them, producing a muffled echoing sound. They were not hollow; the hardness of their bodies was extrely high.
"A Trial, I wonder what kind of Trial thod it is."
Su Chen placed his gaze on the tal door before him. He walked over, his palms resting flat on the hall door, intending to push it open, but the hall door remained Motionless.
Between his palms, a Virtual Screen popped up—"Insufficient Professional Tier. Please upgrade to the 8th-Tier before returning to conduct the Trial."
There's a Professional Tier requirent too?
Su Chen raised an eyebrow, quite surprised. Moreover, he could actually understand the text on it. It could be considered the common language of the Dust Star Sea.
"This Blazing Sun Tier shouldn't be a Profession user from the Dust Star Sea, right? Previously, when the Spirit of the Vast Sun communicated with , it was through Telepathic Transmission, so it was normal that I could understand. But what's the deal with this text?"
"Could it be that the common language of the Dust Star Sea is actually a common language on a broader scale? The Dust Star Sea's language was also imported." Su Chen pondered secretly, retracting his palms.
"One can only co for the Trial at the 8th-Tier. For those palaces above, even for The Chosen, it probably requires the 9th-Tier to conduct the Trial, right? Or does it have to be the Morning Star Tier? This requirent is not low."
He rubbed his chin, but on second thought, relative to Hao Ri, a Morning Star Tier wasn't actually a big deal.
Su Chen clicked his tongue, turned back to the Grand Thoroughfare, and went down one layer. He tried it on The Fifth Layer, but it was still insufficient tier, requiring an upgrade to the 8th-Tier.
"Looking at it this way, the fourth, fifth, and sixth layers belong to different difficulties of the sa tier, but all require the 8th-Tier to conduct Trials."
"Then could the first, second, and third layers be 7th-Tier?"
Su Chen walked down further and arrived at The Third Layer.
"Insufficient Professional Tier. Please upgrade to the 7th-Tier before returning for the Trial."
The Virtual Screen that surfaced on the hall door verified his guess.
"In other words, I can probably only et the requirents of those scattered palaces at the bottom of the tower for now."
Su Chen frowned. In reality, he wasn't far from advancing to the 7th-Tier.
However, he was truly curious about what the heck was inside these palaces.
"Currently, I have nine chances. It doesn't hurt to use one. At least I have to see what exactly is inside these palaces."
Su Chen completely stepped off this tower and glanced in the direction where the Prison-Suppressing King was located. As for this guy... he'd deal with him later.
As for the palaces outside the tower, there were many. Now that he had a status, Su Chen wasn't anxious either. He attempted to find the differences between these palaces, to see if there were any other clues, markers, or the like.
He strolled around this area, roughly tallying them up. Adding up all the scattered palaces that could be opened, there were probably over a hundred.
Each one had slightly different variations in appearance and size, but as for a marker that could truly classify them into categories, Su Chen didn't find any.
To be conservative, he deliberately chose the largest and most magnificent among these palaces.
Roughly looking at it, the palace before him covered an area of fully hundreds of square ters. Four giant tal pillars propped up this towering palace, and the hall door was three ters high.
Su Chen rested both palms flat on the hall door. This ti, as expected, he was not stopped. He pushed it open extrely smoothly. Accompanied by a faint rumbling sound, the hall door opened inwards.
But what was presented before Su Chen was a faint purple energy mbrane, rippling with water-like Patterns, swallowing the hall door within it.
Su Chen pondered briefly and also stepped inside. He could clearly feel the sensation of that energy layer brushing past the surface of his body.
The world spun slightly. The mont his feet landed, a fierce wind rolled up sky-filling yellow sand Rushing Toward One.
Su Chen narrowed his eyes, discovering that the Remnant Embers on his body surface had faded. "They faded automatically upon entering the Trial. This fire from that Remnant Spirit definitely has a connection with this place."
Allowing the storm to carry the gravel and strike his body, before his eyes was a seemingly boundless desert. The wind speed was extrely astonishing.
The gravel swept up within it had all turned into powerful weapons capable of cutting open limbs.
"Just looking at the intensity of this sandstorm, let alone a 5th-Tier, even a slightly weaker 6th-Tier wouldn't be able to withstand it."
Su Chen stretched out his hand. The gravel crackled and struck his palm, exploding into shattered mist.
And right at this mont, his gaze suddenly froze. The sea of sand beneath his feet surged up like a tide, and the rising dust Rushing Toward One.
A crimson-gold lightning arc had already burst up from the ground. Su Chen's entire body ascended high into the air in an instant.
The wind howled by his ears. Below, the sea of sand had been torn open, and a Golden Giant Scorpion covered entirely in heavy golden scales surfaced.
Its tail stinger, like a crescent moon, was slowly retracting. A wisp of deep purple poison mist condensed at the tip, slowly dripping down. When it dripped onto the desert, it actually emitted a bone-corroding "sizzle".
The scorpion armor flowed with the color of molten gold, and the streams of light lingering between the scales were like fine silk. Just the scorpion tail alone was a hundred ters long.
The mont he swept his eyes over this giant scorpion, Su Chen understood. So this was the kind of Trial it was.
Then he was familiar with it. It was nothing more than one word: fight!
But imdiately after, the figure of the Golden Giant Scorpion on the ground blurred, actually shrinking into a three-ter-tall burly figure. His muscles knotted like blocks of iron, and his gaze was gloomy and chilling.
Is this a Profession user? Su Chen's eyes flashed slightly. A Beastification Profession user, and the Beastification was extrely complete.
More importantly, this didn't seem to be a Projection or the like; the killing intent in those eyes was too real.
"Wait..." Su Chen intended to communicate with the other party, but the other party didn't give him a chance.
Although transford into a human, the tail stinger on his back was like a poison-quenched scimitar. A point of piercing white light condensed at the tip, whipping over with a posture that tore through Space. The airflow driven by the tail segnts emitted a screeching sound sharp to the extre.
Su Chen frowned slightly. His figure flipped like a paper kite, easily evading the tail stinger strike. He still intended to communicate with the other party, perhaps he could learn more information. But this person didn't have the slightest thought of communicating. His movents were extrely swift. Stepping off the ground and rising into the air, dust and sand rolling, his hands transford into giant scorpion pincers, tearing towards him.
Tsk... Su Chen frowned. His right fist had already smashed down like a cannonball. He didn't use any abilities. The fist peak crashed into the giant scorpion pincer. A muffled thunder-like explosion blasted high in the air, and a faint sound of shattering bones mixed in.
Spiderweb-like cracks spread across the pincer carapace. Its body was smashed and flung fiercely downwards, kicking up a chaotic airflow. Upon landing, it transford back into the Golden Giant Scorpion and quickly subrged into the sea of sand, disappearing from sight.
Su Chen wanted to communicate with the other party, and also wanted to see exactly how high the intensity of this Trial was. He didn't use his full strength at first. After exchanging blows, he roughly had an idea in his heart.
"The intensity is not low. This guy's strength is probably even stronger than a 6th-Tier Star-Amber Practitioner. I estimate only a Divine Radiance could fight him. Winning would probably take so effort."
"I wonder if all the palaces have this intensity, or if this large palace I picked has a slightly higher difficulty."
He looked down, frowning slightly. "However, this guy has no desire to communicate. Or rather, although he looks like a living person, is he fundantally still a Projection or a puppet of so sort?"
Boom—!
The ground cracked open, the rising sand pillars rolling like raging waves. The Golden Giant Scorpion rose from the sand and dust, sweeping over with a sky full of dust and sand. Its body was faintly visible in the sandstorm, its killing intent chilling.
"Sigh..." Su Chen sighed. It seed he shouldn't even think about communicating with this guy, or rather, this guy was fundantally not a living person.
He didn't retreat but advanced, his body sinking, reflecting the Shadow of the Great Sovereign upon himself.
Mystic Tools elevated. His right fist suddenly ignited with Scarlet Fla, and pale Golden Thunder exploded along his arm. His muscles pulled taut like steel cables.
He had no flashy starting movents, just took a step forward. The fist wind brought up a scorching airflow, howling as it tore through the air. The Scarlet Fla and Golden Thunder condensed and ford in his fist, transforming into a pillar of light that tore through the heavens and earth, smashing resoundingly into the giant scorpion's chest.
"Crack!"
An ear-piercing sound of bone cracking exploded, as if colored glass was shattered by a heavy hamr.
Under the energy impact, the golden carapace crumbled like a spiderweb, fragnts splashing. The giant scorpion's six legs twitched in mid-air, its joints twisted at unnatural angles. Its chest cavity was completely pierced through, and dark red blood spewed out, dyeing half the sky red.
Su Chen's fist force penetrated through, carrying a frenzied residual force, smashing this massive creature viciously back to the ground, smashing out a scorched black crater so deep the bottom could not be seen, kicking up gravel dozens of ters high around it.
Before the giant scorpion even landed, Su Chen had already retracted his fist. Seeing the fresh blood overflowing from the shattered scales, he raised an eyebrow. "Is it really alive?"
The ti this place had existed was probably not short. Could a lifeform of this Tier actually endure it?
"Or was it sealed using special thods, and before I ca in, these lifeforms were not activated?"
Su Chen's eyes flashed, and his figure descended. Just as he was about to get closer to carefully study it, he saw the Golden Giant Scorpion's body disintegrate, having already turned into crushed sand and disappearing from sight.
"This..." Su Chen's movents paused.
At the sa ti, a Virtual Screen surfaced before his eyes—"Congratulations on passing the Trial. Rating—S. Obtained Reward: Astral Star Potion."
Ripples appeared in the void before his eyes. A silver tal tubular object only as thick as an index finger surfaced. Both sides had transparent glass windows, allowing one to clearly see the surging indigo liquid inside.
"This Trial actually has ratings? Do ratings affect the Reward?"
Through the text on this Virtual Screen, Su Chen had already deduced a lot of information.
"As for this Reward..." Su Chen couldn't help but be sowhat disappointed. The functions of Potions were only so many. He didn't lack ones that increased Developnt Efficiency, and as for healing injuries, restoring Physical Stamina, and the like, he lacked them even less.
Better than nothing. He reached out and grabbed the potion before his eyes. Text actually surfaced on the Status Panel—【Astral Star Potion: Produced by the Abyssal Sacred Union, formulated using Materials with Heavenly Star Fallen Stars as the core. Functions on Sixth-Rank Professionals, randomly elevating Primary Class Developnt Progress by a minimum of 5% and a maximum of 15%. Each person can only use it once.】
Hmm?
A Sharp Gleam exploded in Su Chen's eyes, almost thinking he had read it wrong.
Directly elevating Class Developnt Progress, not just promoting Developnt Efficiency!
His throat bobbed. Primary Class Progress was almost the hardest thing to increase. Talents and Potions could only promote Developnt Efficiency.
He had almost never seen sothing that could directly elevate Developnt Progress. It was only when undergoing a Divine Class tamorphosis that it could be slightly stimulated along with it.
But that was a Holy Class. Even for him, it required preparing for a long ti, let alone for others. It fundantally couldn't be considered common sense.
This Blazing Sun Tier really ca from the Abyssal Void?
That place even has this kind of potion that directly promotes Class Developnt. To what level has their civilization reached?
