“You still have to go through it, of course,” the old man said. “The first trial doesn’t only verify if you can pass, but it will also force yourself to achieve the refined will. One-tenth of Heavenly Emperor Genbu’s willpower shouldn’t be your limit. Your goal should be even higher and farther to the point of surpassing Heavenly Emperor Genbu.”Alex looked at the people lying on the ground around him. “What would happen if I were to fail the trial?”“Don’t worry. If you fail, they won’t be harmed,” the old man said. “Instead, their willpower will be enhanced. Hence, some trialists will come for the second time after failing. That said, one only has two chances of going through the trial in a lifetime. So, you should cherish it. The higher your score, the more rewards you will obtain.”Buzz!At that moment, a pair of huge pupils opened up in the sky above the statue.They were bloodshot.Alex’s heart skipped a beat as he subconsciously looked at them.The next second, his mind w

Then, only a word remained... “F*ck”!Alex turned all the resentment and grudge against the True Martial Starlord into energy before venting on those female bloodshot-eyed gorillas.“Bodhi’s Dragon-Tusk Punch!”Alex immediately let out the punch on a gorilla that jumped over to scratch his throat.The gorilla was knocked back with a loud bang, but it was not injured severely and soon came up to him again.That old geezer’s reminder about the opponents having the same combat power was indeed... not a lie. Each ape’s combat power was comparable to his.Three minutes later, seven long wounds were inflicted on Alex’s back. He was drenched in blood before he managed to kill the first gorilla.Meanwhile, the burning, piercing pain on the back, the blood all over his face and body, and the remaining gorillas’ crazy antics completely aroused Alex’s passion and ferocity.“Come! The massacre has just begun!”Divine power was a blessing for healing injuries. Alex exerted his divine power

The Ancestral Bodhi in Alex’s mind palace dragged him in instead.Presently, Alex was throwing demonic cores one after another into the flaming lotus. The great number of instantly-erupting mysterious factors were absorbed by his real body, entering his three thousand golden cores. The golden cores were changing, germinating, and nurturing life.It was then that a voice shouted in his mind palace, “Hey, rascal. Keep your word. You’ve disintegrated so much immortal Chi. You can't be having all of it to yourself. Hurry up and give me some.”The one who spoke was none other than Ancestor Bodhi.He was a fair boy, looking similar to a preschooler.The Ancestral Bodhi Tree’s vitality reduced greatly after the toxicity of a great demon at Dairaionji Temple destroyed it. He, the tree spirit, had also suffered severe damage and turned into his current state... However, the Ancestral Bodhi Tree was a sacred tree cultivated shortly after the beginning of the world. It had survived countless

When Ancestor Bodhi saw Shelly, he seemed apprehensive and slightly afraid of her. If Alex were to discover this current situation, he would be astonished for sure—‘You are the sacred tree of Heart Mountain that has existed since the beginning of time. Why are you afraid of a little girl? Aren’t you ashamed?’However—“Bodhi, have you turned into your son?“Why do your chubby cheeks look like your buttocks?”Ancestor Bodhi kept backing off, trying to run back into the Ancestral Bodhi Tree.However, Shelly shouted, “Aren't you afraid that I’ll peel off your bark?”Ancestor Bodhi was instantly helpless. “Miss Shelly, I hope you’ve been well since we last saw each other!”Shelly said, “Look at my current appearance, and you will know if I’m well.”Ancestor Bodhi said in a child-like voice, “Miss Shelly, you are the peerlessly omniscient, exceptionally talented, commanding master of the realm. No one ever dares disobey you. Miss Shelly, you have deliberately turned yourself into

Meanwhile, an entire month had passed since Alex’s “obliteration.”Even Luna could no longer deceive herself. Having fainted a few times from crying, she looked much thinner and haggard. She was as white as a sheet, and her eyes were completely devoid of life, looking downhearted and gloomy just like a zombie.Although Gilbert was heartbroken to see her in such a state, he was powerless.It was then that the old protector opened his mouth as he shook his head. “You don't have to keep wasting time here. An entire month has passed since Alex’s physical body disappeared. Even if it’s the trial of True Martial Shrine on hell difficulty, it has been long overdue. The True Martial Starlord has undoubtedly obliterated him. Go out, you guys. I’ll personally see you on your way out.”Jade Benmore said, “No. I want to see him, no matter if he is alive or dead.”The old man said, “No corspe will be left behind for an obliterated person.”Jade said, “I still don't believe it. I’ll wait a lit
