Young Master in Flower City

Chapter 1393: Chapter 1395: Ten Pass the Trial

This is the third challenge, the Ghost Cave Thirteen Steps. The first challenge was broken by Xiao Tianyu, allowing everyone to stand here. However, for this third challenge, a Ling Tian Giant is stationed as its guardian.

His name is the Celestial Spirit God.

He controls all the Heavenly Dao here, claiming he is the Heavens.

From his aura, it’s evident that this Celestial Spirit God is fearsome and unpredictable, with an unyielding majesty.

Just because someone insulted him by calling him a monster, he was decisively slain, demonstrating the ferocity of the Celestial Spirit God. Here, he is sovereign, ruling everything.

"Broken by you!" The massive eyes of the Celestial Spirit God gazed down upon Xiao Tianyu, his immense form seemingly reaching the heavens. His gaze was terrifying enough to cause one’s soul to tremble.

However, Xiao Tianyu stared back without fear.

A practitioner must press forward without hesitation, and since he has arrived here, how could he, Xiao Tianyu, retreat because of a mere gaze?

"Indeed!" Xiao Tianyu nodded. "May I ask, Senior, how can one pass the challenge?"

As he spoke, everyone perked up. Passing the challenge was the most crucial matter here.

"Simple!" The Celestial Spirit God’s gaze shifted away from Xiao Tianyu. He didn’t seem overly concerned that Xiao Tianyu had broken the Ghost Cave Thirteen Steps, and he wasn’t inclined to randomly kill the innocent.

After all, his duty was to guard this place by his master’s command.

The purpose is to find a better heir for the inheritance.

Once someone inherits the legacy, the Celestial Spirit God can regain his freedom.

He has guarded this place for years.

And for what purpose? Isn’t it to wait for an unparalleled genius to inherit the legacy and grant him freedom?

Now, someone has broken the Ghost Cave Thirteen Steps, giving him an opportunity. The former master of the Ghost Cave had said that if anyone qualified to inherit his legacy appeared, the seal on the Celestial Spirit God would be lifted.

Otherwise, he’d be sealed here for eternity.

His heart is filled with resentment, yet he can do nothing.

Swish~

With that thought, a fierce gaze fell upon the crowd.

He said, "Passing the challenge is simple — only ten people can do so. The others must either perish or leave now. However, I must clarify, even if you leave, you won’t escape this place. The path back is about to collapse!"

Rumble, rumble, rumble~

As his words fell, the path behind indeed began to crumble, disappearing into an abyss. In this fearsome place under heavenly awe, flight is impossible; returning means death.

The only chance of survival is to press forward.

But this third challenge allows only ten survivors.

There are hundreds here.

Yet only ten can survive? What an elimination ratio.

It’s essentially fifty to one.

Out of fifty people, only one will survive — it’s that simple.

Only survivors can safely leave this place.

For any of them, this is undoubtedly the cruelest elimination method.

If they can’t pass, they die.

It’s that simple.

At this moment, everyone present, even Xiao Tianyu, Jue Chen, Duan Sanqing, Mo Qingluan, Yang Qian’Er... they were all shocked. Who would have thought only ten could leave here alive?

To them, this was an extremely brutal survival battle.

Death means elimination.

"Senior, isn’t this challenge overly cruel!" A young man at the back looked at the Celestial Spirit God and spoke.

This person was a prodigy from Juechen Sword Sect, named Qin Jian.

"Cruel?" The Celestial Spirit God’s massive eyes looked down on Qin Jian, speaking domineeringly: "Since you’ve arrived here, the choice is mine. I seek only the most outstanding, while others serve as mere foils. If you can’t pass, your bones will rest here!"

He set the rules, so domineering.

"What if we don’t obey?" Xiao Tianyu spat out a question, glancing at Xiao Mu. The Celestial Spirit God smiled dismissively, "You can try!"

Swish~

As those words fell, Xiao Tianyu suddenly felt an indescribable pressure bearing down on him. The opponent was overwhelmingly strong; just this pressure alone made it clear confrontation was impossible.

Thus, his rules must be obeyed.

Then, the Celestial Spirit God’s gaze returned to Xiao Tianyu, asking, "Any more questions?"

Xiao Tianyu cast a cold glance at the Celestial Spirit God, not responding, yet he had to obey the rules. Otherwise, Xiao Tianyu believed he would face the Celestial Spirit God’s wrath.

"Qingluan, come to my side!" Xiao Tianyu suddenly called out. With only ten hopes of passing, he naturally wished that among them would be him and Mo Qingluan.

After Mo Qingluan joined Xiao Tianyu’s side,

Xiao Tianyu looked at the Celestial Spirit God and said, "The rules!"

"Fight until only ten remain, and you pass!" The Celestial Spirit God’s voice was cold, devoid of emotion. His meaning was simple: in this place, it’s a brutal combat, and the ten strongest will advance.

The others must either die in battle, becoming stepping stones for others.

Thud, thud, thud~

Even before the Celestial Spirit God finished speaking, they saw over ten figures torn apart by a Sword Aura.

The first to act was Jue Chen.

Once he drew his sword, he was unstoppable. It seemed no one here could withstand a single strike from him.

Even those killed by Jue Chen included prodigies from Juechen Sword Sect.

But there was no time for concern. Only ten could survive, and Juechen Sword Sect had about twenty people. Not killing means being killed by others.

"How ruthless!" The others from Juechen Sword Sect trembled upon witnessing this, even though he was their Sect Leader, he viewed their lives with such disregard.

Even Qin Jian was slightly stunned.

But facing such a situation, was there any other choice?

Some must sacrifice for others to succeed.

On this battlefield, only ruthlessness ensures survival.

"Kill!" Just then, Qin Jian roared, his sword like a rainbow, directly targeting a prodigy from Nine Provinces City, aiming to kill. Qin Jian’s Sword Dao was highly advanced.

His heart was equally cold, like his sword.

As for battles elsewhere, they erupted instantly.

Those with lower talent felt utter despair, regretting stepping here to become someone else’s stepping stone. But all was already destined.

Thud, thud, thud~

In an instant, many bodies were torn apart by the torrents of destruction, forever buried here.

In the Nine Provinces City direction, there were three outstanding prodigies. Everywhere they passed, scarlet blood bloomed. These three were also the shining stars of the Nine Provinces City forces and were exceedingly unified.

Xiao Tianyu’s side was also unsettled.

With the outbreak of the battle, many around began fighting, including Xiao Tianyu.
