Divine God Against The Heavens

Chapter 970 Ch 970: The 99th Test

Nine months soon passed.

Inside the Heavenly Demon Palace, on the ninth floor, there was only one giant room. The door of the room was open and the remains of seemingly powerful Ancient god Realm stone statues were scattered around.

Inside the room, there were a total of hundred pillars standing tall, but these pillars were not touching the ceiling of the room. There was enough space between the pillars' top and the ceiling for a 3 meters tall person to stand comfortably.

The starting pillars were bronze in colour but the last dozens of pillars were silver. And there was only one golden pillar at the furthest end.

Currently, Ye Xiao was standing on top of a silver pillar, looking at the Golden one. His target seemed to be the Golden Pillar.

Ye Xiao spent a total of nine months opening all rooms on eight floors. The Heavenly Demon palace seemed to have endless floors, but it took him nine months to only cover eight floors.

When he arrived on the ninth floor, he realized that the ninth floor is the end. It is just that this Heavenly Demon Palace is more like a treasure, from the outside, it creates an illusion that seemed to make people believe that it has infinite floors.

The illusion was so powerful that even Ye Xiao was deceived. Of course, if he had used the Eyes of Insight, he would have broken the illusion long ago.

Anyway, in these nine months, after exploring the eight floors, although he obtained many treasures, the most valuable gain was still the pill that could make an Ancient God break the limit and become a Divine God.

Since this pill has no name, Ye Xiao chose to give it the name "Dao Limit Breaking Pill."

Now, Ye Xiao only need to cross the last silver pillar and he could land on the Golden Pillar. Unlike the empty Bronze and Silver Pillars, there was a Golden Axe floating on top of the Golden Pillar. This golden axe was very powerful, as powerful as his Void Shattering Spear.

Thus, Ye Xiao concluded that this must be the treasure those elders of Destiny Dao Sect wanted to obtain.

All Ye Xiao needed to do is to obtain this axe, and exchange it with the location of Xue Xiaofei and Ji Yanran from the Destiny Dao Sect.

This floor was very special. No one could fly here. Every pillar has its own unique test, only after passing the test could he jump to the next pillar.

Ye Xiao has already passed the test of the 98th pillar. He took a deep breath and jumped on the last Silver Pillar.

Immediately, multicoloured beams of light shot out from every direction and enveloped Ye Xiao. It turned into a huge multicoloured shadow of a bald old man, who looked at Ye Xiao and spoke in a mighty but ethereal voice: "Congratulations on making it to the 99th Pillar. This pillar is called the Dao Pillar. I can feel that you have yet to completely cultivate your cultivation technique."

"Every cultivation technique left its own mark inside the cultivator's body. As you progress, that mark will become solid and more perfect. Upon complete cultivation, that mark will then embed into that person's soul. Of course, no one could see or discover this mark. I was born with Divine Perception with a special ability to see through this mark. That's why I can see that you have not cultivated your cultivation technique completely."

"So, your test of 99th Pillar will be to completely cultivate your cultivation technique. I'll give you three years of time. In these three years, if you didn't completely cultivate your cultivation technique, you'll be disqualified to step on the 100th Pillar, the Golden Pillar, and obtain the Law Splitter Axe."

Ye Xiao was surprised. He has arrived on the Ninth Floor six months ago. It means he only took three months to explore the eight floors. And it took him six months to pass ninety-eight tests of ninety-eight pillars.

He has given many strange tests on these ninety-eight pillars, but the test on the ninety-ninth floor is the strangest. He actually needed to completely cultivate the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique in order to pass this test. And he only has three years of time.

This was indeed the test. Completely cultivating the Nine Dragon Univeral Circulation Technique in three years is really a challenge. But if he is to cultivate on the First Floor of Nine Story Pagoda, it is not impossible either.

But the question was, how could he enter the Nine Story Pagoda in front of this old man?

Well, the name of the axe on the Golden Pillar. It was Law Splitter Axe.

"Law Splitter Axe, what kind of weapon is this?" Ye Xiao asked curiously.

The bald old man seemed to have been lost in deep thought. After a few seconds of silence, he finally replied: "Then be it, let me tell you. Even if you pass the test of 99th Pillar, I don't think you can obtain the Law Splitter Axe."

"The Law Splitter Axe is a weapon that could break the attack of Heavenly Laws. Because of this, it has become a forbidden weapon, and only people whose fate can't be divined, and the wielder of this weapon will be targeted by the Heavens. In short, only an enemy of Heavens can wield the Law Splitter Axe."

The old man told Ye Xiao a few things about the Law Splitter Axe. Then he told him to start his cultivation, he'll be going for now and will come to check when the time is up.

When Ye Xiao heard this, he smiled in relief.

Now, he could cultivate inside the Nine Story Pagoda without any worry.

Soon, the old man transformed into countless rays of multicoloured light and disappeared. After that, Ye Xiao also disappeared and entered the First Floor of Nine Story Pagoda.

Three years was equivalent to 300 years on the First Floor of Nine Story Pagoda. It means, he has 300 years of time to completely cultivate the Nine Dragon Universal Circulation Technique.

Ye Xiao believed that he'll be done with his cultivation way before the period of 300 years will end.

.....

Three months soon passed by.

While Ye Xiao was cultivating on the First Floor of Nine Story Pagoda, Xue Xiaofei arrived in front of a huge floating sword.

Yes, this was a huge sword, floating upside down. Its tip was facing the sky while its hilt was facing the ground.

This is not the Ancient Divine World, but a different one called Thousand Swords Divine World.

It is said that the Thousand Sword Divine World used to be a world where a total of thousand God-levelled Swords were born naturally. Each wielder of the sword was a mighty figure and was completely unbeatable.

But about a million years ago, something happened and those mighty figures mysteriously died. They left behind their swords.

After the death of their owner, for some reason, those swords flew in a certain direction and gathered together, fusing with each other, manifesting into a single solid sword suspended in the air, hanging upside down.

Although those thousands of God-levelled Swords became a single sword, this single sword was extremely huge, even bigger than the tallest mountain in this world.

On top of the sword, it is said that there exists a temple. This temple is very mysterious.

A humongous peacock, a phoenix, and a dragon's lifelike golden statues are guarding in front of the temple.

It is said that whoever could enter the depth of the temple, he or she will obtain a mysterious serendipity that'll easily make even an ordinary person reborn as a God.

Xue Xiaofei's aim was this temple.

However...

Maybe it is fate, but another devastatingly beautiful girl arrived and landed right in front of Xue Xiaofei. This girl's long black hair was swaying softly because of the wind, making her look very amiable.

If Ye Xiao was here, although he wouldn't have recognized this girl's face, he would have recognized the aura on her body and the familiarity she was giving off.

She was Tong Nian whom Ye Xiao is looking for everywhere. He even made a deal with the Destiny Dao Sect just to find her.

Tong Nian and Xue Xiaofei are complete strangers, but when they looked at each other, they seemed to have felt mutual empathy. There seemed to exist an invisible string that is binding them together.

Both of them started at each other and observed the opponent carefully. They both understood that the person opposite to them had also come here to enter the temple located at the tip of the sword.

But none of them chose to make a move. As if both of them have talked for long while through their eyes, they came to a conclusion. They decided to go and explore the temple. It'll be up to fate who will obtain the mysterious Serendipity.
