In Xijun City, two prominent families—the Li Family and the Chao Family—were wiped out simultaneously.
Their most promising talents, Li Xun and Chao Huang, were slaughtered along with them. The news caused an uproar throughout the city.
After all, both Li Xun and Chao Huang had once openly expressed their admiration for the Yin Family’s eldest daughter, Yin Yingxin.
Some even speculated that these two geniuses had a real chance of becoming Yin Yingxin’s husband.
For a time, those unaware of the truth rampantly speculated. But those who knew the reality remained silent.
Qin Xian did not linger in Xijun City. He and Yin Yingxin boarded a private jet, heading directly toward the Divine Demon Trial Grounds…
The Divine Demon Trial Grounds lay at the edge of the Abyss, a place both feared and revered. It was the most dangerous place in the world—yet also the most important.
Every time the trial opened, at least a few supreme geniuses would rise, eventually growing into the towering titans of the era.
Chu Sitian was the perfect example…
The trial grounds were a massive and enigmatic dimension, appearing from afar as an endless continent, yet warped within twisted space.
This realm was a parallel dimension, existing alongside the real world, maintained by immense magical or divine power.
The beings within the trial—the so-called gods and demons—possessed true sentience.
Some even speculated that these entities were manifestations of the will of the gods from the celestial sacred realm, selecting humanity’s true champions and future saviors.
But such theories remained unconfirmed conjecture.
The celestial sacred realm remained too mysterious for humanity to understand…
Yun Tianlu and Lu You arrived at the Divine Demon Trial Grounds. Gazing upon the vast, majestic continent, even Yun Tianlu couldn’t help but feel a sense of awe.
He could sense the lingering traces of divine presence in the air—an energy so overwhelming that it sent tremors deep into his very soul.
Across the skies, countless aerial transports descended—some were high-tech aircraft, others were mystical mounts, each carrying warriors of unfathomable power.
As the vehicles landed, one after another, their passengers stepped into the trial grounds—each radiating an aura of absolute strength.
They were all extraordinary talents, their levels no lower than 25, with many already at 30 or even 40.
And nearly all of them were under the age of 40—the peak prodigies of the world.
Among them were not only black-haired, black-eyed imperial warriors, but also elite talents from foreign nations, all having traveled across vast distances to participate.
The Divine Demon Trial was known as the fairest trial in all of humanity.
Unlike the Void Hunt Trial, where external forces could still interfere, the Divine Demon Trial was entirely controlled by the divine revelation monolith—overseen directly by the gods of the celestial sacred realm.
“There are so many people… It looks like this time, the trial will be incredibly intense,” Lu You muttered, his brows furrowing slightly.
Hearing this, Yun Tianlu simply smiled. “There’s no need to worry. As long as we give it our all, no matter what ranking we achieve, we won’t have any regrets.”
A nearby genius snorted in disdain, unable to hold back a sneer.
What nonsense. Anyone who dared to participate in this deadly trial was arrogant—an elite among elites, driven only by victory.
Winning was the only goal. He was about to mock Yun Tianlu outright—but the moment he met Yun Tianlu’s sincere gaze, he inexplicably hesitated.
Something about his conviction and purity made him reconsider.
And before he realized it, he nodded involuntarily, suddenly feeling that Yun Tianlu’s words made perfect sense…
Yun Tianlu turned his gaze toward the colossal, awe-inspiring gateway leading into the Divine Demon Trial.
Longxi Province had grown increasingly unstable in recent years. If not for the Empire’s military decree, Kang City would have already been swallowed by the Yin Family.
Though not large, Kang City was incredibly prosperous.
Under his teacher’s rule, taxes were low, and the city enjoyed a unique strategic advantage—three dungeon entrances were located on its outskirts.
This was why the Yin Family had always coveted it.
And if the rumors were true—if the Yin Family had secured an alliance with a high-ranking member of the Qin Family—then Kang City was in grave danger.
If the city fell, his teacher and the city’s leaders would likely be executed on the spot. And the common citizens would be enslaved by the Yin Family.
Yun Tianlu had to succeed in the Divine Demon Trial. He had to grow stronger, and fast. He had to protect his people.
But as he clenched his fists, a different thought surfaced.
A shadow from his past.
Yin Yingxin, the eldest daughter of the Yin Family. Between them lay an unresolved grudge.
Back when he had first awakened his class, Yin Yingxin had targeted him for slaughter—seeking to turn him into a puppet.
During those days, he had been hunted like an animal, with nowhere to escape.
At the time, he was only level 5, while Yin Yingxin was already level 20, commanding a retinue of elite Yin Family enforcers.
If not for the fact that he later found sanctuary within Daxi Academy, under its protection, he would have died by her hands—just another corpse in her growing army of puppets.
But now, things were different. Now, Yun Tianlu was a level 33 powerhouse, standing on equal footing with Yin Yingxin.
He no longer feared her. For a long time, Yun Tianlu had believed that every person had good within them.
That every soul could be saved. He had rescued Lu You from the darkness. He had redeemed Yan Zong from his hatred, but Yin Yingxin was different.
This woman was unlike anyone else. Beneath her exquisite beauty, her heart held nothing but cruelty and an insatiable thirst for power.
She was not merely ruthless, but she was pure evil.
