137: The Trial of the Myriad Laws Stele Begins

The transaction price of each finale item was over ten trillion. When Sky Character No. 4 bid twenty-five trillion for the seventh finale item, Lin Yuan had already stood up, preparing to leave.

"Master, why don't we wait a little longer?" little void was a bit unwilling. "Maybe..."

"No need." Lin Yuan shook his head. "These resources are not something a Loose Cultivator can hope for. My remaining 150 billion virtual currency can't bid for anything anymore."

He took one last look at the high-hanging purple-gold halo—the existences in those Sky Character private rooms all had super forces backing them, forces that had ruled Taichu Divine Continent for hundreds of billions of years. As for himself... it was time to consider joining an organization.

As the teleportation light lit up, the Profound Yellow Body Tempering Crystal was also completely absorbed by Lin Yuan's Great Void Body, turning into nothingness. Lin Yuan suddenly felt something, and his chaos heavenly extreme sword emitted a clear sword cry. The latest Data Panel flashed on his retina:

[Current total combat power: 8.2 million feathers]

Although he didn't bid for the sky-high finale items at this auction, the Profound Yellow Body Tempering Crystal and Great Void Gold Marrow he gained had already made him quite satisfied, directly pushing his total combat power past the 8 million feather mark.

The day after the auction ended, Lin Yuan stood on the highest Xuantian Peak Summit of the Spirit Martial Hall. The biting astral winds tore at his robes but could not shake his mountain-like stable figure. The myriad laws heavenly stele, ten light-years tall, quietly floated in the sky, like a mirror spanning heaven and earth, reflecting the ambition and desire of all Cultivators in this era.

Lin Yuan looked up at this divine marvel connecting heaven and earth: "It's finally about to begin." The Origin power within his body became unprecedentedly active. He clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking crisply, and a burning Battle Intent blazed in his eyes.

"The 903rd Era is about to begin, and I, Lin Yuan, will rise from this myriad laws heavenly stele!"

The Law patterns on the heavenly stele suddenly began to flash wildly. Countless gilded names streaked across the stele surface like meteors, trailing brilliant light traces in the Void Realm. These were the names of Prodigies who had left legends in past eras, each representing a legend that suppressed an era.

Registration closed!

Beginning screening!

Two voices, like Heavenly Dao decrees, resonated throughout the universe. The heavenly stele glowed with endless divine light. The previously golden and brilliant names of Prodigies on it sank into the stele, and trillions of new names appeared on the stele body.

"Selected Trial Participants, teleportation begins!"

Boom!

Throughout the Taichu Continent, figures were enveloped by the power of Law and instantly disappeared.

Lin Yuan only felt a golden light burst before his eyes, and his body was torn by an irresistible force. When his vision recovered, the Xuantian Peak Summit beneath his feet had disappeared, replaced by a vast and boundless Void Realm.

"Is this... the inner world of the myriad laws heavenly stele?"

He stood on a hundred-meter square gray-white stone platform. The platform's surface was covered with indentations and cracks of varying depths, as if it had experienced countless earth-shattering battles. Lin Yuan crouched down, his fingertips lightly touching the marks, and immediately felt the terrifying energy fluctuations remaining within them—these were the battle imprints left by generations of Prodigies.

Looking up, countless star-like light spots were scattered in the dark Void Realm, and in each light spot, an arrogant figure could be vaguely seen standing. One trillion Myriad Laws Realm Prodigies, each with such a stone platform beneath their feet, collectively formed a breathtaking and magnificent star map.

This number exploded in Lin Yuan's mind, making him gasp for breath. Even with prior mental preparation, facing such a vast, star-like sea of competitors still brought a suffocating sense of pressure. He took a deep breath and checked his Data Panel:

[Realm: Myriad Laws Realm Peak]

[supreme soul seed: Origin: 20 million Soul Power units]

[Origin Dharma Body (Supreme-grade): 5 million feathers]

[chaos heavenly extreme sword (Origin Magical Artifact): 200,000 feathers]

[chaos heavenly evolution robe (Origin Magical Artifact): 200,000 feathers]

[Primordial Dao Body (20%): 100,000 feathers]

[Eternal Evolution Body (Great Void Body 80%): 800,000 feathers]

[Total combat power bonus from Four Great Origin Laws: 1.9 million feathers]

[Total combat power: 8.2 million feathers]

"Buzz—"

Suddenly, the entire Void Realm vibrated violently, and countless stone platforms shook with it. In the distance, a miniature phantom of the myriad laws heavenly stele slowly rose. Although it was only one-millionth the size of the main body, it still exuded an ancient, heart-pounding pressure. The gilded names on the stele surface were all dim now, waiting for new Prodigies to replace them.

"Trial Participants."

A cold, mechanical voice came from the Void Realm. This voice seemed to penetrate all barriers, directly resounding deep within everyone's Soul. Lin Yuan trembled all over, and the Supreme Dharma Body within him involuntarily began to circulate. He could feel that the owner of this voice possessed power far beyond imagination.

"A new Era is about to arrive," the voice continued, with a hint of vicissitudes. "Whenever a new Era begins, a heaven-sent Opportunity will descend upon Taichu Divine Continent. This heavenly stele descends before each new Era begins precisely to cultivate the most outstanding Prodigies in this plane to seize that Supreme Opportunity."

The Void Realm was silent. A trillion Prodigies listened intently.

"In 902 Eras, we have failed 232 times," the voice suddenly grew heavy. "This has caused us to lose the territory of 232 divine domains. This time, I hope that under my cultivation, you can grow rapidly and quickly become the strongest Feather Transformation Realm Martial Artists—only then will you be qualified to contend for that Supreme Opportunity!"

Lin Yuan felt a surge of excitement. He could feel the urgency contained in the words. This trial was far more important than he had imagined.

"After this screening, among the trillion Myriad Laws Realm Martial Artists, the lowest combat power is 1120 feathers," the voice continued. "The Myriad Laws Realm benchmark is 20 feathers. Each of you is an outstanding individual in the Myriad Laws Realm. Some Martial Artists may be very young in bone age, and some may not have received the best cultivation in the outside world. You must cherish every subsequent round of trials!"

Countless light spots suddenly lit up in the Void Realm, like twinkling stars.

"Each round of trials offers you the chance to grow rapidly. As long as your Aptitude is sufficient, you will receive generous rewards! Now, let's begin the first round of the myriad laws heavenly stele trial—Endless Body Tempering!"

As the voice fell, Lin Yuan suddenly felt an emptiness within his body. All his Law insights, Dharma Body power, and equipment bonuses were sealed by an invisible force, leaving only the purest Physique power surging through his Bloodline.

Suddenly, a pale blue light curtain rose from the edge of each stone platform, forming a hemispherical protective shield. Lin Yuan stood at the edge of the shield, watching as silver-gray mist began to spread outside. Star-like light spots shimmered within the mist, each particle containing heart-palpitating energy fluctuations.
