TL: Etude
As Ye Tian entered the palace, what he saw was an endless darkness.
Suddenly, a pulling force emerged, and Ye Tian was sucked into an unknown space.
Then, light burst forth before his eyes, and his vision started to expand.
At this moment, Ye Tian found himself in a large hall.
With a flash of white light, a young girl appeared before Ye Tian.
“An artifact spirit!”
Ye Tian recognized her at a glance.
The young girl, an artifact spirit, greeted Ye Tian with a smile, “I’m delighted to meet you, cosmic being. You are the first cosmic being to enter this Golden Desolation Hall!”
“Cosmic being!”While Ye Tian found the title a bit strange, to the beings of chaos and the artifact spirits, he indeed qualified as a cosmic being, making the title quite fitting.
“Artifact Spirit, the monkey outside mentioned that I need to undergo a trial. May I know what the trial involves?” Ye Tian inquired.
The young girl replied, “I’m not entirely sure what the content of the trial is, as it was set by the master. You’ll only find out once you enter.
What I can tell you is that the trial is specifically prepared for cosmic beings, and your universe has been chosen for this. You are the third person fortunate enough to come here.
If you fail the trial, other cosmic beings will continue to come for the trial until someone succeeds!”
“The third participant in the trial?”
Ye Tian was initially surprised, then he speculated that the first two participants must have been the Great Gods of the Primordial Divine Mountain.
Since he was still eligible to participate in the trial, it indicated that the previous two Great Gods might have failed, and their likely fate was being killed by the Dark Heavenly Ape.
At this point, he finally understood why the Dark Heavenly Ape had chosen him for the trial instead of selecting the chaos creatures from the small chaos world. It turned out that those chaos creatures were not qualified to participate in the trial, nor was the Dark Heavenly Ape itself.
Only true cosmic beings were eligible to participate in the trial.
As for why cosmic beings were chosen, Ye Tian was not sure.
Fortunately, he was a cosmic being, or else the Dark Heavenly Ape would not have hesitated to attack him.
“I must pass the trial, otherwise, I’ll face the danger of the Dark Heavenly Ape as well!” Ye Tian thought.
“Cosmic being, go ahead!” The young girl waved her hand, allowing Ye Tian to enter the trial.
With a swish! Ye Tian found himself in a void.
Then, beams of light enveloped him, unclear of their purpose.
The light held no offensive power, but it could not be obstructed.
Soon, a few minutes passed.
A voice transmitted, “Testing completed, you qualify as a cosmic transcender, the first round of testing is over, preparing for the second round!”
Boom! A huge ape wielding a golden cudgel appeared before Ye Tian’s eyes. The cultivation of this ape was only at the True God level, far inferior to the Dark Heavenly Ape, but its combat power was terrifying.
This aura far surpassed those of True God princes in the universe, with a fleshly body of incredible strength.
Ye Tian used his Copy Talent to check, and found that this ape was not a real being, but a phantom, yet its combat strength was no different from that of a real creature.
Suddenly.
The giant ape swung its cudgel viciously, shaking the void.
Ye Tian swung his sword in response, clashing with the cudgel with a thunderous roar! The giant ape was sent flying, its body cracking continuously until it turned into ashes.
Although he killed the giant ape in one move, there was no sense of excitement.
From the brief exchange, this giant ape had clearly reached the power level of a Supreme Prince, and in this era’s universe, apart from him, no one could defeat this giant ape.
“This trial is indeed difficult!” Ye Tian muttered to himself.
After defeating the giant ape, the trial did not end. The second creature appeared.
This time it was not a giant ape, but a creature resembling a mantis, incredibly fast and with an attack power equivalent to that of a powerful Supreme Prince.
However, Ye Tian also easily defeated this mantis creature.
Then, the third creature appeared.
This creature was a chubby sphere, with extremely terrifying defensive power. Ye Tian estimated that even a top-tier Supreme Prince might not be able to break through its defenses.
At the beginning, Ye Tian only demonstrated the combat power of a top-tier Supreme Prince, which surprisingly did not completely defeat the creature.
Eventually, Ye Tian unleashed the power of the Child of the Era and managed to vanquish it.
“There shouldn’t be any more, right?” Ye Tian thought to himself.
Suddenly, another figure emerged—a humanoid creature.
This being had dark scales covering its body, a single horn on its head, and green eyes, looking quite eerie.
Moreover, the aura emanating from this figure was filled with chaotic energy, identifying it as a species from chaos, not a cosmic being.
The figure, wielding a long spear, launched an attack at Ye Tian.
Boom! Ye Tian battled fiercely with this opponent, neither gaining the upper hand.
“Spear of Hellish Void!”
“Spear of Time!”
“Heavenly Moon Saber!”
“Five Elements Divine Wheel!”
“Thousand Realms!”
Ye Tian held nothing back, deploying all his methods to unleash his utmost combat potential, yet he still couldn’t defeat the opponent.
“It’s actually a True God-level Child of the Era!” Ye Tian exclaimed in surprise.
This trial was exceedingly brutal. He was fortunate to possess the Copy Talent, along with numerous fortuitous encounters, to have the power of a Child of the Era.
If it were any other cosmic being, how could they possibly possess such strength?
Such a trial was virtually impossible to pass! Moreover, he wasn’t even sure if this was the final test. If there were even more extreme challenges ahead, he certainly wouldn’t be able to complete them.
After a prolonged battle, Ye Tian utilized his recovery speed and gradually gained the upper hand, eventually sending his opponent flying with a single strike, and the Child of the Era disappeared.
Clearly, Ye Tian had passed the trial.
“Congratulations on successfully completing the second round. You will now proceed to the third and final round of the trial!” the voice of the artifact spirit came again.
“What, a third round? It can’t be another battle, can it?” Ye Tian tensed up internally.
Soon, the third round of the trial began.
This time, it was not a battle but rather the comprehension of a diagram.
In the void, a massive stone carving appeared, depicting a figure sitting cross-legged on a lotus.
“Comprehend the Chaos Stele, create a True Chaos Technique within three years! The use of time acceleration abilities and similar is forbidden!” the young artifact spirit’s voice transmitted.
“What is a True Chaos Technique?” Ye Tian asked aloud.
He indeed didn’t know what a True Chaos Technique was, and without knowing what it entailed, how was he to proceed with the trial? Suddenly, a beam of light flew towards him, and Ye Tian absorbed the orb of light, which contained information about the True Chaos Technique.
After browsing through this information, Ye Tian gained some understanding of the True Chaos Technique.
It turned out that the True Chaos Technique was a skill involving the power of chaos, akin to the ultimate techniques known in the universe.
Ye Tian had always followed the path combining the Dao of Chaos and the Dao of the Saber, focusing on creating ultimate saber techniques.
However, the ultimate techniques of chaos were even more powerful.
Unfortunately, this universe had too little understanding of chaos, and no one could teach Ye Tian, making it very difficult for him to create an ultimate chaos technique, also known as a True Chaos Technique.
In the realm of chaos, without a doubt, creating a True Chaos Technique was also challenging; otherwise, it wouldn’t be part of the third round of the trial.
If Ye Tian were to create a True Chaos Technique out of thin air, it was definitely beyond his capabilities.
However, the Chaos Stele in the void now gave Ye Tian a chance to create a True Chaos Technique.
“Try to create a True Chaos Technique within three years. Even the simplest one will do; as long as it’s created, the trial will be completed!” Ye Tian thought to himself.
Sitting cross-legged, his gaze fixed on the Chaos Stele, Ye Tian began his comprehension.
