Thump! Thump! Thump!
Suddenly, the few cultivators who had just rushed in were all shockingly hurled out. One by one, these individuals collapsed onto the ground, wailing in agony.
“D*mn! What kind of test is this? It’s utterly insane…”
“Didn’t they say my life wouldn’t be in danger? I nearly died in there!”
“My leg is broken. How was I supposed to continue cultivating?”
“A bunch of liars! Lunarius Palace is filled with a bunch of liars!”
The cultivators who were flung out were all screaming in pain and cursing at Lunarius Palace. At that moment, the numerous cultivators who were eager to get into action were all left dumbfounded.
Many people began to feel nervous. They had only mustered the courage to participate after hearing Yuliya’s assurance that there was no threat to their lives.
If they were to escape death only to be gravely injured, unable to continue their cultivation, it would be a fate worse than death itself.
“Hmph! What a bunch of cowards!” Upon realizing that no one dared to step forward, Keiran let out a cold huff. With an air of confidence and nonchalance, he strode into the trial tower.
Seeing that, some of the other cultivators gritted their teeth and followed suit, while others decided to bow out.
Jared was meticulously calculating the time, anticipating the moment when Keiran was about to pass the test. That was when he would make his move.
Yuliya saw that Jared was hesitant to proceed, and immediately, her face twisted into a smirk. “If you’re too scared to go in, just turn back. I’ve told you before that even though you luckily made it through the illusion array, you won’t be able to pass this trial tower!”
Jared gazed at Yuliya, yet he remained silent. After a brief pause, he stepped into the trial tower.
As soon as he stepped into the trial tower, Jared discovered a drastic shift in his surroundings. Astonishingly, he found himself in the midst of a boundless forest.
The air was filled with the roars of various wild beasts all around.
“Is this even a test?” A smirk played at the corner of Jared’s mouth. He hadn’t expected the test at Lunarius Palace to be so easy.
It was possible that every person who entered the trial tower experienced a different setting, and each of these settings held its own unique dangers.
Jared ventured forth into the seemingly endless forest.
Occasionally, savage beasts would charge out, only to be effortlessly slain by Jared, wielding his Dragonslayer Sword.
Although Jared was only a Third Level Tribulator, he was fearless, even when faced with a Seventh Level Tribulator.
Jared effortlessly made his way, slaying fierce beasts along his journey, until he finally arrived before the gemstone that radiated a green glow.
At that moment, all Jared had to do was touch the gemstone, infusing it with his own aura, and he would be transported out of the trial tower, thereby successfully passing the test.
Just as Jared was preparing to approach the gem by emanating his aura from his body, his expression suddenly tightened.
“Who’s there? Come out now…”
Jared made a surprising discovery. Someone was actually hiding not too far away.
Jared was somewhat taken aback. He couldn’t comprehend why the other party chose to hide, let alone spy on him surreptitiously.
“I didn’t expect it to be you. Even though you’ve changed your appearance, your aura remains unaltered.” Keiran emerged from his hiding spot, and a few individuals trailed behind him.
It was clear that these individuals had also entered this scene from the trial tower and
were walking alongside Keiran.
After all, it was only Keiran who had the strongest capability there.
Upon seeing Keiran appear, Jared immediately furrowed his brows. “Were you waiting for me all this time?”
He hadn’t expected that Keiran, surprisingly, hadn’t left the trial tower. Instead, he was waiting for Jared.
With a cold laugh, Keiran said, “I felt a sense of familiarity when I saw you, but I couldn’t quite place it. Now, recognizing your distinctive aura, I finally know who you are. Surprisingly, you have the audacity to come to Lunarius Palace!”
“Why wouldn’t I dare? You revealed my whereabouts to others, intending to use them to get rid of me. Unfortunately for you, the people you found were too lousy. They couldn’t possibly harm me! Since you’ve already discovered my true identity, I can’t let you off the hook!” A murderous intent was surging in Jared’s eyes.
