The Emperor's will, which was immortal and whose will lasted forever, was destroyed? ? ?

Modu University.

Back Mountain Base.

Trial Room Four...

Seeing the phantom instantly killed by her single move, Xia Xue smiled faintly.

She was very satisfied with her performance and incredibly happy!

It must be said, Su Bai’s Flat Peach… was truly excellent!

If not for the 1,000,000 attribute points added by that Flat Peach, plus her ‘Power of Creation’ which was of unknown higher quality than ordinary spiritual energy, she would never have been able to deal a damage of ten million points!

Moreover, ten million damage was actually not her limit!

Just then, the System notification sound suddenly rang out:

"~Ding, congratulations on successfully passing the first trial! You have received the Advanced buff [Injury Reduction]: Damage reduction increased by 20%!"

Hearing this, Xia Xue pouted, a bit speechless.

She hadn't expected this broken System to give her such a strong buff; wasn't it forcing her to compete with Su Bai for first place?!

But... she wasn't really interested in first place!

She... ahem... she was only interested in Su Bai...

Soon, another notification sound rang in her ears:

"~Ding, please note, the second trial is about to begi... begi..."

However, before the voice could finish, it suddenly got stuck!

Xia Xue frowned.

She felt that the System might have malfunctioned!

However, just as she was wondering, the surrounding space suddenly twisted, and then cracks appeared and gradually spread.

Subsequently, a figure slowly walked out from the center of the cracks—

A brand new law imprint, freshly deployed by Great Emperor Long Chen!

The phantom opposite actually smiled at her reassuringly:

"Little Girl, the battle continues!"

Hearing the phantom speak, Xia Xue was instantly startled!

This thing… could actually speak!

This meant… it possessed self-awareness!

—It was very likely an Incarnation of the Great Emperor’s will!

But Xia Xue remained unafraid.

What if it had self-awareness?

What if it was an Incarnation of the Great Emperor’s will?

It was merely a phantom with its attributes increased by about 50%!

Easily destroyed with a flip of her hand!

After the phantom’s words fell, the System notification arrived as expected:

"~Ding, this battle's buff is randomizing..."

"~Ding, congratulations, you have received the debuff [Health Bar Disappearance Technique]: Health decreased by 15%, damage taken increased by 15%!"

"~Ding, your opponent has received the buff [Attack Amplification]: After entering combat, their attack power increases by 10% every 5 seconds, stacking up to a maximum of 10 layers, increasing maximum attack power by 100%!"

"Tch!" Xia Xue pouted, a little displeased.

Her intuition told her... the other side was cheating!!!

Although she was certain she could pass this round, the debuff obtained in this round… would carry over to the next trial!

Damn it!

Health Bar Disappearance Technique... the implication was, didn't they want to instantly kill her in the subsequent rounds?!

Dog Great Emperor!

Xia Xue was annoyed in her heart and quickly adjusted her state.

She aimed at the great emperor phantom of Long Chen and slapped it...

Whoosh whoosh—

As a gust of wind blew past... the expression on the great emperor phantom’s face instantly froze!

Then a bright red number floated from above its head:

Unknown? critical hit! Instant kill! -30697320

Instantly killed!

...Outside the trial room.

Upon sensing that his Incarnation had been instantly killed by Xia Xue, Great Emperor Long Chen’s expression outside the trial room simultaneously froze!

He had been too curious just now, so he had added a trace of his own Great Emperor's will into the law imprints he sent in.

The purpose was simple—

It was to personally test Xia Xue's situation.

The result... was that it was destroyed?!

The Great Emperor's will, which was said to be immortal and eternal... was destroyed by a Second-Tier Awakener?!

But thankfully, he had already tested it—

Xia Xue had not truly mastered the Power of Law!

What she controlled was merely a special kind of energy... In his perception, this energy was fundamentally different from spiritual energy; in terms of quality alone, it was at least several grades higher!

He hadn't seen it before, so he couldn't recognize it.

In short, it was very powerful.

Moreover, he also had a strange feeling... he felt... that he seemed to have been seen through?!

Although this feeling only lasted for an instant, his Great Emperor's will told him that this feeling was real!

And could the perception ability of a Great Emperor's will... be wrong?

The answer was: no.

Thinking of this, a chill ran down his spine.

Damn it!

This girl... was simply too mysterious and terrifying!

He was a Great Emperor!

A true True God expert at the Peak of the Great Emperor Realm!

To have his Great Emperor's will destroyed by a mere Second-Tier Awakener?!

Although that wisp of Great Emperor's will only had a trace of power... it was still a Great Emperor's will!

And it seemed to have been insighted for information too?!

It was simply outrageous!

Thinking of this, Great Emperor Long Chen couldn't help but murmur:

"Could it be... her Talent... also surpasses SSS Rank?!"

But soon, he shook his head and said with a wry smile:

"How could two Talents above SSS Rank appear at once..."

"Sigh! If only it were true!"

"However, this is already terrifying; truly, the younger generation is formidable..."

In his eyes, although Xia Xue's strength was very formidable, if she only possessed very high-quality energy... that was not enough!

Because he knew very well—

Any Awakened One, only if their Awakening Talent Rank surpassed SSS Rank, reaching Divine-Grade, would they have the possibility of surpassing the Emperor Rank!

Otherwise, at most, they would be like him, just a Great Emperor.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been stuck at the Peak of the Great Emperor for hundreds of years... it was all because his Awakened Talent was only SSS Rank... and a Great Emperor expert and a being above God... are simply not the same concept!

And Su Bai's Talent was suspected to surpass SSS Rank!

So he had a chance to Breakthrough the Great Emperor and become a being above God!

This was the main reason why Su Bai was highly valued by several Great Emperors.

And another important reason—

Was that Su Bai had a Revered Master who was a being above God.

He truly hoped that Xia Xue's Talent Rank surpassed SSS Rank!

This way, the Human Race would have a chance to gain another being above God!

It was a pity, her information was immeasurable.

He simply couldn't discern it.

Unless she actively revealed it, he would not be able to know.

But undoubtedly—

After this trial, among the five, Xia Xue overpowered Xia Qingyan, ranking second, with her importance only below Su Bai. In terms of mysteriousness... she was also on par with Su Bai.

As for Shangguan Yan and Ye Fan... in terms of strength, it was hard to say.

But in terms of family background... Shangguan Yan was the Young Miss of the Shangguan Family.

Ye Fan, however, was merely a collateral descendant of the Ye Family.

It was said that he was not favored by the Ye Family before his Awakening.

Which meant he had no background.

So Shangguan Yan temporarily ranked above Ye Fan.

Therefore, in his heart, the ranking of the five had already been determined!

In order:

Su Bai > Xia Xue > Xia Qingyan > Shangguan Yan > Ye Fan
