107: The Trials Begin in the Land of Inheritance

After obtaining the Divine Refining Art, Lin Yang did not immediately leave these ruins.

The chaos star core's fluctuations were unusually active here, conveying a strong sense of yearning and guidance; the source was in the deepest part of the ruins.

Leading The Four Women, he followed the guidance of the chaos star core, passing through collapsed palace pillars and crossing a massive, dried-up riverbed, eventually arriving before a gigantic stone wall that was as smooth as a mirror and towered into the clouds.

It was unknown what Materials the stone wall was cast from, as it presented a dull, ancient bronze color.

It was covered in extremely complex and profound star patterns.

These patterns were not carved but seemed to have formed naturally, containing an indescribable rhythm of the Dao.

In the center of the stone wall, there was a fist-sized groove, its shape... exactly the same as the chaos star core inside Lin Yang's body!

"This is it!" Lin Yang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart.

The Legacy of the Chaos Star Lord!

Bai Wanqing and the others also felt the extraordinary aura of this place; the pressure the stone wall exerted upon them even exceeded that of the Spirit Sea Realm guardian from earlier.

Lin Yang stepped forward, and with a thought, he tentatively projected the phantom of the chaos star core into the groove.

Hum—!

The moment the phantom of the chaos star core perfectly fit into the groove, the entire massive stone wall suddenly lit up!

The star patterns upon it seemed to come alive, beginning to circulate slowly and emitting a soft yet vast Chaos light.

A low, ancient voice, as if crossing endless time and space, echoed directly in the depths of everyone's Soul:

"Chaos... Source... Legacy... Begin..."

Rumble!

The massive stone wall slowly split open from the center, revealing a deep, bottomless staircase passageway leading downward.

The interior of the passageway was not dark; instead, it was permeated with a faint Chaos Qi.

Extremely pure energy rushed toward them, causing everyone's pores to open involuntarily.

"Let's go in." Lin Yang did not hesitate in the slightest, taking the lead and stepping into the passageway.

The Four Women followed closely behind.

The passageway extended downward, seemingly without end.

The surroundings were no longer stone walls but ever-changing scenes of Chaos; at times like a brilliant starry sky, at times like the beginning of heaven and earth, and at times transforming into the birth and death of all things.

Every step taken felt like traversing endless space.

After walking for an unknown amount of time, the path ahead suddenly opened up.

They appeared in a massive, unimaginably vast hall.

The dome of the hall was a real starry sky, with countless stars twinkling and the Milky Way hanging upside down.

Beneath their feet was a mirror-smooth black floor, reflecting the stars of the dome.

Around the hall stood seven gigantic portals, each emanating a different aura: some of destruction, some of creation, some of slaughter, some of redemption, some of thunder, some of ice, or some of heaviness...

And in the center of the hall floated a ball of Chaos energy that was constantly churning and changing; it seemed to be the core of the entire hall and the source of all the energy.

The ancient voice echoed once more:

"Latecomer... bearing the star core... is destiny..."

"The path of the Chaos Star Lord... is Heaven-Defying... with a slim chance of survival..."

"Seven trials... begin at the seven gates... pass... and gain the Legacy..."

"Failure... means Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering... turning into nourishment for Chaos..."

"The choice... lies in your heart..."

The voice slowly faded away, leaving only the seven giant gates standing silently, waiting for the challenger's choice.

"Seven trials..." Lin Yang's gaze swept across the seven gates, feeling the terrifying pressure contained within them.

These trials were by no means easy.

"Brother Lin, we will accompany you!" Although Chu Yuning was a little nervous, she still said firmly.

Bai Wanqing, Chu Yunxi, and Mu Yao also stepped forward simultaneously, their eyes resolute.

Although Su Qingyue was not here, they were Lin Yang's most solid backing at this moment.

A warm current surged in Lin Yang's heart, and he nodded.

His gaze finally locked onto the gate that exuded the most primitive Chaos aura and was also the most dangerous.

"Since I am here, how can I retreat? Let us begin with this first one!"

He strode toward that gate of Chaos.

As he approached, the giant gate slowly opened, revealing a blurry, distorted space behind it filled with destructive energy.

Lin Yang did not hesitate, stepping inside in one stride!

His figure was instantly swallowed by Chaos.

The giant gate slammed shut.
