Devouring the Star: Age of Cataclysm

Chapter 144: The Trial of the Venerable! [rd update, please subscribe]

"Become a local overlord?"

Hearing this, Lin Ye just shook his head slightly: "Now, I just want to solve the monster disaster in my home."

"I haven't considered other big ideas yet."

"But there is one thing you must remember!"

Suddenly, Venerable Fenchen emphasized his tone.

"Whether you want to eliminate the beast disaster in your homeland or become a top-notch warrior, you must first pass my test and be able to get out!"

"Otherwise...you will spend the rest of your life alone with me in this trial ground, and turn into a pile of bones!"

The answer from the Venerable Fenchen was calm and ruthless, but it made Lin Ye's mind even more profound.

"Die alone and turn into bones?"

Hearing this, Lin Ye directly refused, "This is impossible!!"

He is the man who will surpass Hong and Lei Shen!
I absolutely cannot stay here and die alone!
"Very good! With this determination, you already have a two-point chance of passing!"

As soon as Venerable Fenchen finished speaking, he heard Lin Ye nod without hesitation: "I accept your trial!"

Only by passing the trial can you get out of this relic of ancient civilization.

You can also obtain the inheritance of the Venerable Fenchen and many treasures.

What reason did he have to refuse?

“Hehehe…very good.” The middle-aged figure laughed: “But before you start the trial, I have some details to explain.”

“You say!” Lin Ye looked at the Venerable Fenchen, who was wearing fiery red armor, with a determined gaze.

“You are worthy of being chosen by me, but you must also remember that the inheritance trial I left behind does not test the strength of the trial-taker, but the person who has outstanding talent, will and perseverance!”

"Similarly, the trial will have different intensities depending on the realm of the trial-taker. But once you enter this trial ground, there will only be two results. One result is to pass the trial and become my successor. The other trial..."

"It is death!"

"There is no failure in the trial, only passing and death."

"..." Lin Ye was slightly stunned, took a deep breath, and then asked: "How many of the previous ninety-nine trialists passed?"

"No one. None of the ninety-nine trialists before you passed the trial. They all stayed here until their lives were exhausted and they turned into a pile of dry bones. And among the ninety-nine trialists, the weakest one can also destroy you with a flip of his hand."

Lin Ye: "..."

In an instant, a chill burst out from the back and swept through the whole body in an instant.

"None passed?"

“Yes, if there is anyone who has passed the trial, you will not be sucked in here!” Venerable Fenchen turned around gently, and his fiery red armor fluttered in the wind.

Then, he looked at the shocked Lin Ye and asked slowly, "So, do you still choose to continue entering the trial ground?"

"..." Hearing this, Lin Ye's face turned black, and he immediately had the urge to beat up the person in front of him.

Lin Ye looked at the smiling Venerable Fenchen and secretly complained in his heart: "If I don't take part in this trial, there is no way to get out!"

"call……"

Taking a deep breath, Lin Ye's mind flashed with the images of his sister Lin Xiyue, Xu Qi, and a group of people.

After a long pause, he nodded heavily and replied in an extremely resolute voice: "Participate in the trial!"

"Your answer is full of determination and courage, just like the ninety-nine trialists who entered here at the beginning."

"A big part of your determination is that you want to quickly get out of here and return to your world." "In that case, I will open the door to the trial ground for you... But before you enter, you have enough time to adjust your state, especially to prepare yourself mentally."

"I know you've had a smooth journey, but don't judge the difficulty of the Venerable Trial by the battles with those low-level monsters."

"Because the two are not even on the same level. If you can't defeat a low-level monster or even your so-called 'king-level' monster, you can just run away."

"But the trials I leave behind will be so difficult that they will make you feel hopeless and deadly!"

Lin Ye listened quietly to the words of Venerable Fenchen, his expression unchanged.

“And I, Venerable Fenchen, as one of the most powerful beings in this universe, will never pass on my inheritance to mediocre people!”

"Only those with strong enough talent and will are qualified to receive my inheritance!"

"Now that you have such confidence and courage, step into this trial door!"

As Venerable Fenchen's voice fell, a red light suddenly flashed on the stone wall in front of Lin Ye, and a ten-meter-high semi-arc-shaped crimson light gate appeared.

The portal leading to the Trial Land.

However, Lin Ye did not step out immediately.

He turned to look at the middle-aged man in red battle clothes and asked, "Venerable Fenchen, if we pass this trial, how long will it take?"

"The time is entirely up to you... maybe three to five days, or maybe a few months or a few years."

This is the answer of Venerable Fenchen.

Lin Ye thought of the countless people waiting for him outside, and the determination in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest: "I will pass the trial as soon as possible!"

After saying that, he took a step forward and entered the crimson portal directly.

The moment Lin Ye stepped in, the portal disappeared.

After a while, in the passage emitting a bright light, the leisurely sigh of the Venerable Fenchen was heard: "What a good young man! I hope you can pass my test smoothly!"

Lin Ye once again felt the changes in time and space. An invisible force was gently twisting his body, as if swallowing it into an endless abyss.

When the dazzling crimson light faded away, Lin Ye finally felt down to earth.

This is an endless square.

Looking around, you can see a majestic palace in the center.

In the huge square, Lin Ye seemed as small as a grain of sand. He looked up at the golden palace in front of him that exuded a majestic atmosphere.

Even with Lin Yexing's eyesight, he could only barely make out the general outline of the palace's main entrance.

It can be seen how huge it is.

“I wonder what kind of existence Lord Fenchen is, to have set up such a huge trial ground for the trial takers!” Lin Ye’s eyes were filled with enthusiasm, “I wonder when I will be able to become as powerful as him.”

"Hahaha...you've been thinking too much. Let's just pass the trial first and get out first!"

As he said this, Lin Ye looked around and found a pile of bones in the square a thousand meters away.
"This... is probably one of the ninety-nine trial-takers!" Looking at the remains of the previous trial-takers, Lin Ye felt a chill in his heart.

"But I will never be like him and stop here. I still have my family and friends, and memories that I haven't recovered!"

It was like a spark falling into a pile of firewood, instantly igniting Lin Ye's fighting spirit.

He shouted in a deep voice: "Since I'm already here, let me kill my way through here!"

"Not only do I want to get out, I also want to get your inheritance, Venerable Fenchen!!"

"..."
