Origin Court: Accepting Disciples With A System-Chapter 248 Endless Besiege

The Red Qilin and the other divine beasts had already brought Yang Lujia to the Azure Dragon's territory. Compared to the White Tiger and the Vermillion Bird's territory, the Azure Dragon's territory could be said to be crude.

Despite his elegant looks, the place where he had always lived was actually dilapidated but fierce. There was a volcano in the middle of the territory that was bulking with raging lava. Around it were regions that could melt someone's body in no time. This guy was no joke. He was simply an embodiment of someone who should not be judged merely by his looks.

If one looked elegant, it was to be expected that he should have a nice home. If one looked sloppy or dirty, the expectations would be otherwise. However, this principle clearly would not apply to this Azure Dragon.

Such a fellow was actually so crude and could live in this kind of environment. Despite Yang Lujia's judgment over this territory, he rather focused on what he should do to pass this next test.

Along the way, he was told about the general instructions on this next test—only to receive two words from the Azure Dragon. However, the latter told him that it was already enough for him to understand the importance of the next test. 𝘧r𝘦𝗲w𝘦𝚋𝐧o𝘷𝘦𝙡.co𝑚

"Endless Besiege!"—were the two words that came out from the Azure Dragon's mouth when he asked this fellow.

Towards this divine beast, Yang Lujia felt helpless. Unlike the other who seemed to be either enthusiastic or more of a talker to him, even the Vermillion Bird did not lack the words to explain to him, this fellow had a very close mouth and he was rather peculiar among the five beasts.

"You have the Dragon Emperor's Bloodline. That's not in any way inferior to mine. Your predecessor is the Dragon Emperor, Asgorath. My predecessor is called Long Wang," the Azure Dragon suddenly talked, his gaze on Yang Lujia, turning intent.

Although he was a divine beast born from the creation of the world, he still had a predecessor and that predecessor of his actually had an agreement with the other four predecessors of the Red Qilin, Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and the Black Tortoise.

Again, Yang Lujia felt like the world was laughing at him for his ignorance. He actually did not know anything about these things, because he never pried into the secrets of the world and the one that the divine beasts shared with him was one of those.

If he divulged them, there would really be a commotion.

After all, everyone thought that the five divine beasts already had the purest bloodline—it turned out they were only successors. However, that wouldn't mean that they would be inferior.

"Alright, Old Azure, you may now send Your Highness to the territory and let him enter for the test," the Red Qilin commanded.

The Azure Dragon only nodded and sent Yang Lujia away.

Yang Lujia only felt the space around him warping, sending him to another space—another realm like what the White Tiger and the Vermillion Bird did previously.

When Yang Lujia entered this realm, all the hair on his body stood on end. He still saw the volcano and the environment's intense heat was even assaulting every pore on his body. Not only that, he felt like he was stared at by several pairs of eyes from the dark.

Checking the condition of his body, he was astonished that his strength seemed to have been reduced. Although he didn't reveal anything about his strength, he found out about it based on how he perceived his strength as.

Currently, he only had the peak Saint Emperor Realm strength—just as before, when he comprehended the fusion of two rules.

"How powerful was this place to actually be able to suppress my realm to this much?"

"Host, the one who set up this space and the entire array formation seems to be formidable. Is this really something that someone can set up?" This time, Fortuniel's voice surprisingly appeared. "That person was actually able to suppress your strength even with my presence."

Yang Lujia was even more astonished at this point. His father was really formidable. However, towards Fortuniel, he did not reply anymore. That was because the test that he was clueless about finally appeared as a system panel appeared in front of him.

<strong>"Survive for a year!"</strong>

<strong>"Time Left: 1:12:30:24:60:57"</strong>

As soon as he finished reading the text, he suddenly shuddered and had already found out that a myriad of beasts had already pounced on him. Some of them even had peculiar appearances. However, that was not all—all of these beasts had the same realm as him!

One of them was a domineering flood dragon. There were some that he recognized because of the textbooks he had encountered all along the way. Some of them were even clustered as a race like the Heavenly Fiend Tiger Race, the Golden-Eyed Peacock Race, and the Nine-Tailed Lion Race!

It was truly inconceivable that he had encountered these bizarre but astonishing-looking creatures. This was truly not within his expectations. With these beasts' momentum pressed against him, he did not dare slack off and held his sword tight, facing and receiving the aggressive attacks of the beasts.

A heavenly fiend tiger threw its claws at him while a bunch of golden-eyed peacocks was trying to place him into an inescapable net of illusion. On the other hand, there were even apes whose bodies were several times bigger than his. It made him feel suffocated.

A group of foxes even tried to catch him off guard by doing sneak attacks. Yang Lujia felt like he was already at the end of his rope. An hour merely passed by but he was already almost exhausted to death.

However, he could not be this weak and he could not afford to lose as well. This was his father's test for him. If he even couldn't pass his tests, then he wouldn't be able to surpass him in the future.

This was why he would nevertheless persist, even if his body would crumble in the end.

Seeing that Yang Lujia was almost at the end of his life, the five divine beasts couldn't help but constrict their eyes. Even if they were the ones put in there, they probably wouldn't have a good time as well.

Moreover, those beasts that Yang Lujia had killed seemed to vanish in thin air and would always appear from the backs of the beast horde, joining the besiege once more. This kind of endless spawning… they were very helpless about it as well.

Even if they could put forth the power of their bloodlines to suppress these beasts, it wouldn't be enough to curb them. Based on their bloodshot eyes, they seemed to have already lost the reason to live—most probably because they were merely illusions condensed by the array formation of this territory. Even the Azure Dragon did not expect that this was the test His Highness would set up as well.

"Wait! He seems to have gained something and his strength was actually waning anymore! After that blow from that ape before, he seemed to have been reborn anew! This was inconceivable!" the Red Qilin said, expressing his shock. "It was merely an hour and he had already gained this much! Truly someone deserving the reputation as His Highness' son! Haha!"

On the other hand, Yang Lujia was already covered in blood all over. It wouldn't be wrong to say that he had already become a killing machine at this moment. He even comprehended the rules of slaughter by sheer luck!

The rules of slaughter were very hard to comprehend in the first place. Only his disciple, Lin Diyu, was able to do so. That was because he did not believe he would become a killing machine like what was happening at the moment. If he had his peak strength, there was no need for him to fuss over this matter. However, at this time, because he was suppressed, he needed to take it one step at a time.

Moreover, the rules of slaughter seemed to be very useful to him as he continued to kill several beasts, despite knowing that they would respawn all over again.

"This was the Endless Besiege that Little Azure talked about!" he muttered as he slashed another sword at a peacock that was trying to divert his attention and let the other beasts attack him.

<strong>"Survive for a year!"</strong>

<strong>"Time Left: 1:11:30:12:43:39"</strong>

A month had already passed by in a twinkle. Yang Lujia never thought that he would actually survive for a month, even when he felt like his qi was already depleted. Fortunately, Fortuniel was able to aid him somehow by providing him enough qi to support himself and not be beaten or worse eaten by these beasts.

"He actually made it in a month! How astonishing! Just how much was this kid's qi reserve? To actually survive after so much time!" the Red Qilin said in shock.

Even the White Tiger who was previously sleeping on his back could not help but stand up in his paws. This was truly beyond common sense already. If it were him, he would have already long perished!

"Look! He's fleeing! Looks like he's already out of qi now!" the Vermillion Bird said, unable to contain the emotions surging within her.

"No! He seems to be buying some time!" the Red Qilin surmised, but then shook his head. "Even if his speed is topnotch, those Midnight Wind Birds wouldn't let him run like that for long! These birds were very top-notch in terms of speed! Their speed could be said to be not inferior to Little White's!"
