Eternal Holy Emperor-Chapter 799 - 742: 9 Challenges

The guardian of the Second Pass, like the guardian of the First Pass, takes the initiative. With a towering physique of ten feet, his muscles are robust and imposing, rivaling even Wang Ming. He is as intimidating as an iron tower.

Yet with every movement, he remains exceptionally agile and swift, appearing before Ye Chen in the blink of an eye, wordlessly launching a powerful kick through the air.

This kick is so forceful that it tears through the air, erupting with a thunderous boom. One can feel the immense weight behind this kick, bearing down with a force nearly comparable to a thousand catties.

But Ye Chen is fully prepared, not dodging but throwing a punch to test the true strength of the Second Pass guardian.

BOOM—

The two collide like lightning, with an unexpected outcome. The iron tower guardian only shivers slightly, while Ye Chen is sent flying back.

The power is terrifying, merely at the Innate Seventh Realm, yet far more dreadful than imagined, even surpassing the First Pass guardian with an overwhelmingly greater strength for the same rank.

Just as the First Pass guardian was an all-around invincible being of the same rank, the Second Pass guardian earns his supremacy in strength in the same realm.

Ye Chen is sent flying over dozens of feet before stabilizing himself, his punching hand numb and the skin torn open, with blood flowing.

This causes Ye Chen to sigh secretly; despite his years of cultivation, with his invincible physical body, it’s the first time he has encountered someone who can overpower him in terms of physical strength.

Of course, it was only his Primordial Spirit Body that entered the Human Emperor Tower, not even his Combat Saint Body.

Yet it is still shocking enough.

Naturally, the guardian of the iron tower couldn’t emerge unscathed after taking Ye Chen’s punch, with his calf being scraped of a patch of flesh, bleeding profusely.

Such a powerful force causes a flicker of excitement in Ye Chen, who licks his parched lips with a surge of war intent.

He may have been at a disadvantage this time, but he is not discouraged. On one hand, the strength of the Second Pass guardian is indeed formidable. On the other hand, he used his fist, while the guardian used his leg, inherently more powerful.

A minor defeat is to be expected.

BOOM—

The Second Pass guardian charges again, and Ye Chen counters with various Innate Martial Techniques and Joint Techniques.

They clash relentlessly in the martial arts arena. The guardian is immeasurably strong, but Ye Chen transforms the Combat Saint Body using the Combat Saint Technique expressed through his Primordial Spirit Body, equally unafraid of the guardian, launching fiercer attacks and constantly using the Combat Saint Technique to collide with him.

Their movement techniques, strength, and skills all reach the absolute peak. Even at just the Innate Seventh Realm, they can absolutely kill at the Innate Peak and defeat a demigod.

After a fierce battle lasting half a day, the 783rd round sees Ye Chen, bloody and ferocious, delivering a punch to the Second Pass guardian’s head, shattering a field of peach blossoms.

Ye Chen wins, but at great cost, having an arm torn off, many bones shattered, and his heart half broken, leaving him drenched in blood, terribly brutal.

It can be called a pyrrhic victory, and if the opponent had consciousness, it wouldn’t be possible to decide the winner in less than a thousand rounds.

This is merely the Second Pass, yet such a heavy price is needed to win. How much more dreadful must it become later?

Fortunately, the Second Pass guardian turns into a burst of Primordial Spirit Spiritual Energy, merging into Ye Chen, replenishing his Primordial Spirit Body and allowing him to perform the God King Revival Technique, with a dazzling rainbow light fully restoring all injuries.

Naturally, Ye Chen silently comprehends, fully assimilating the subtleties gained from the battle, which is also highly beneficial.

Winning the Second Pass certainly entails rich rewards: a Soul Stabilizing Pearl, invaluable for calming the mind and greatly beneficial for cultivation, as deviation during cultivation is always a risk.

The Soul Stabilizing Pearl is used for stabilizing the mind, worth more than heavenly nectar.

Ye Chen put away the Soul Stabilizing Pearl. After meditating for two days and nights, he restored his essence and spirit to the peak, his eyes blazing as he opened the stone gate to the Third Pass, greeted by yet another entirely different challenger.

The Emperor’s Trial, the Ultimate Trial born to select the Human Emperor, is nothing short of worthy.

Truly, the guardians come in male and female forms, some being tall and mighty, while others are graceful divine girls, naturally all at the same rank as Ye Chen.

Without exception, they are all truly invincible at the same rank, at least True King level invincibles, incredibly powerful, with an unprecedented grasp of Dao and techniques, countless wondrous secret techniques and divine skills that defy explanation, extraordinarily powerful.

The further the checkpoint, the higher the opponents’ realms, naturally requiring longer battle times and more serious injuries.

Every time after passing, one ends up covered in wounds, bathed in blood, nearly shattered several times.

Each pass nearly puts one to death before rising anew.

Thus, it has been two months since he entered the Emperor’s Trial, reaching the Ninth Pass, facing an opponent already in the Divinity Transformation Realm, with divine skills and spells terrifying beyond belief, not lacking in innate ancestor skills.

Starting from the Fourth Pass, every battle takes more than two days, and the further back, the battles last four to five days or even longer.

Moreover, every battle drains both body and mind, requiring significant time for recuperation. After the Seventh Pass, he had to rest for a full ten days.

After all, the Seventh Pass guardian is most proficient in Primordial Spirit attacks, greatly damaging Ye Chen, requiring ten days to completely recover to the peak.

After all, injuries to the Primordial Spirit are unlike those to the physical body. The attacks touch on deeper levels of True Spirit, leaving Ye Chen with considerable wounds.

Even more terrifying, from the Seventh Pass onward, guardians seemingly gain autonomous spiritual intelligence, with combat experience and consciousness vastly enhanced, knowing how to be adaptable, becoming much more difficult to deal with.

Thus Ye Chen paid an extremely heavy price for passing.

In the Ninth Pass, he faced a supreme divine girl, stunningly beautiful, like an ethereal banished immortal, unparalleled in grace, her beauty rivaling even the goddess, Yii Wu, among others. However, when she truly struck, it was as if thunder descended, overwhelmingly powerful, beyond imagination.

Even in a full-fledged battle, Ye Chen was almost split apart twice.

Were it not for the God King Revival Technique and the Holy Body Regeneration Technique, unparalleled healing secret techniques, he would have lost his Primordial Spirit by now.

Naturally, in the end, even the supreme divine girl was worn out by him, turning to ashes and disappearing entirely.
