“Halt!”
As Qin Hao approached the Ancestral God Tomb, a squad of divine guards quickly appeared. The World Lord leading them stood at the forefront of the team, speaking sternly. At the same time, his aura was released, and he stared intently at Qin Hao.
“I’m here to enter the Ancestral God Tomb,” Qin Hao said, as ten divine crystals floated out from his hand.
Qin Hao did not know the exact situation of entering the Ancestral God Tomb. Even the World Lords he had enslaved from various forces did not have a definitive answer.
The existence of the Ancestral God Tomb was extremely mysterious. Even the forces that possessed Undying powerhouses were unsure when the Ancestral God Tomb had appeared. The power of the Ancestral God Tomb was beyond doubt; although it did not interfere with the power struggles on Viska Star, it was not a force that any other power dared to provoke.
There had once been some Undying who had united, wanting to seize the Ancestral God Tomb, but they were all directly annihilated by the Divine Cult outside the Ancestral God Tomb.
This time, Qin Hao had made some preparations for his trip to the Ancestral God Tomb. His Second Clone was within his internal world, ready to leave at any moment.
“Follow me.” The leading World Lord glanced at the divine crystals in Qin Hao’s hand, then turned and walked towards the Ancestral God Tomb.
Qin Hao quickly followed.
As he continued to advance, Qin Hao also felt the surrounding space changing, as if he had passed through layers of space and entered another world.
However, this world was far more stable and powerful than a World Lord’s world.
After an hour, under the guidance of the leading World Lord, Qin Hao quickly arrived at a palace complex. Dozens of palaces, large and small, covered an area of thousands of miles around. Each palace was hundreds of miles tall, with the central palace reaching thousands of miles in height.
“Kuka, why are you back? Aren’t you on patrol?” The leading World Lord led Qin Hao to a palace. A middle-aged man walked out from inside and asked.
“A trialist has arrived. I brought him here,” Kuka said, pointing at Qin Hao behind him.
“Universe Rank? Which force is this, to actually send a Universe Rank to trial? Are they treating our Divine Cult as a nursery?” The middle-aged man glanced at Qin Hao and couldn’t help but say.
“According to the Divine Cult’s rules, anyone with ten divine crystals can get a chance at the trial. Regardless of their strength, if they can’t pass the test, he won’t be able to enter the Ancestral God Tomb,” Kuka said coldly. The Divine Cult’s rules were the highest directive for every member.
“Fine, since he’s already here, let him try. However, whether he succeeds or fails, his future fate will be…” Saying this, the middle-aged man shook his head.
“Follow me.”
The middle-aged man said to Qin Hao, then turned and walked into the grand hall. Qin Hao quickly followed, pondering their recent conversation. Although the Ancestral God Tomb was dangerous, it was not enough to scare Qin Hao.
Moreover, his First Clone was still present. Even if his main body and Second Clone died, they could be conceived again. This was the advantage of having clones; as long as one survived, he could be reborn. However, it was a question whether his golden finger would still be there after rebirth.
“Embed the divine crystals into the gate.” The middle-aged man said nothing throughout, arriving at a large gate and speaking to Qin Hao.
“To enter the Ancestral God Tomb, you must first pass a test. The test is divided into nine stages. Complete it, and you will be teleported into the Ancestral God Tomb. Fail, and you will die inside. Think carefully before making your decision.”
Qin Hao listened to the middle-aged man’s words and, without hesitation, walked directly to the gate. He embedded the ten divine crystals into the ten grooves on the gate. As the divine crystals were embedded, the patterns on the gate began to light up continuously.
The divine crystals began to melt, and a force of Time Law and Space Law continuously flowed along the patterns. The surrounding space began to change, and Qin Hao felt a devouring force spread throughout his body, after which the surrounding space began to transform.
In a void space, Qin Hao’s figure appeared. The moment Qin Hao appeared, a path quickly formed beneath his feet. Qin Hao followed the path and quickly arrived before a series of steps.
He stepped forward and continued, ascending 99 steps before reaching a platform.
“Trialist, defeat the opponent before you, and you may proceed to the next layer.”
A mechanical voice sounded, and then the surrounding energy began to rapidly condense. Soon, a silver figure appeared before Qin Hao.
The silver figure’s face was somewhat similar to Qin Hao’s current appearance, but it was taller, and its weapon was very simple: a longsword.
Before Qin Hao could observe it carefully, the silver figure had already rushed before him and directly attacked him. Qin Hao’s eyes moved, and he had a rough judgment of his opponent’s strength: Universe Rank Level 9 power, equivalent to his own; 90 times gene level, also the same as his; and it used Time Law and Space Law.
However, its comprehension of the laws was only equivalent to the first layer of the Cosmic Tongtian Bridge.
After determining his opponent’s strength, Qin Hao did not hesitate. His longsword was unsheathed, and he instantly cut his opponent in half.
After being cut down, the silver figure quickly transformed into energy and re-integrated into the surrounding space. On the other side of the platform, a new staircase formed.
Qin Hao did not stop, quickly walked up the steps, and continued upward. After the battle, Qin Hao had a guess about the test: it should be a test of Time Law and Space Law. Nine layers would largely be equivalent to the first nine layers of the Cosmic Tongtian Bridge, with comprehension of Time Law and Space Law at World Lord Peak.
This explained why the middle-aged man looked at him like cannon fodder. Comprehension of Time Law and Space Law at World Lord Peak level, even in the Virtual Universe Corporation, would require at least a Territory Lord Rank core member to achieve.
Upon entering the Second Layer, Qin Hao’s guess was confirmed: the overall comprehension of the laws was equivalent to the Cosmic Tongtian Bridge’s Second Layer. After quickly passing through, Qin Hao swiftly cleared the subsequent layers and entered the ninth layer.
After defeating the guardian of the ninth layer, the entire void began to shake. The eight platforms below began to disappear, and energy converged towards the ninth layer platform.
Giant patterns formed on the ninth layer platform. The surrounding Time Law and Space Law energy continuously gathered, and a divine power beam swept across the entire platform through the giant patterns. Qin Hao’s figure disappeared with it, and the entire space collapsed.
“How could he succeed?!” Inside the palace, the middle-aged man looked at the ten divine crystals absorbed into the door, his eyes filled with surprise. As a greeter of the Divine Cult, he was well aware of the difficulty of the test. Not to mention Universe Rank, even most Territory Lord Rank and World Lord Rank found it very difficult to pass the current test.
Why did a Universe Rank actually pass? Could it be that his comprehension of Time Law and Space Law was already comparable to World Lord Peak?
How was this possible?
