Upon opening his eyes, Li Ming found himself in a turbulent interstellar era. Countless civilizations wielded their hunting rifles, eyeing everything in the universe with predatory gazes, and his m...
Chapter 549: Desperate Trial Difficulty
Holding the purple hammer, the challenge target suddenly moved, turned into a flowing shadow, and quickly approached him.
Morris' heart tightened, and silver-white scales grew on the surface of his skin, wrapping his entire body like a layer of armor.
But he soon discovered that the speed of the challenge target was not that fast and he could react easily.
"Why is it so slow?" Morris was not used to it. In the past, the battles with the Yuan Clan were too intense and there was almost no time for extra thinking, but now it was completely different.
But he still did not let go of his hands and feet, but just clenched his fists, wanting to try to fight with the opponent to test his strength first.
Unexpectedly, when the challenge target got closer, his speed suddenly increased, and the purple hammer in his hand swung towards his head.
There was no energy fluctuation, only a howling storm in the highly solid interior space of the Eternal Holy Throne.
"What?" Morris was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but be shocked. "This challenge target actually uses tricks?"
The opponent's sudden increase in speed almost made him unable to react. His eyes blurred and the purple hammer head quickly enlarged in front of him.
He could hardly feel any force from it, but out of years of fighting instinct, he could still feel a sense of fear and was not prepared to let his head take the blow.
At the last moment, he forced his body to move.
Bang!
The hammer that was originally falling towards his head hit his shoulder. It seemed insignificant, but the terrifying power contained in it was released. The silver scales at the impact point shattered radially, and debris flew everywhere.
The flesh was torn apart, exposing the broken bones inside. Black blood spurted out in a mist-like manner. The surging energy exploded, but was quickly suppressed by this space.
"This..." The powerful force made Morris's face suddenly change.
The purple hammer felt more like a physical weapon, and considering the hardness of his body, it didn't cause any energy fluctuations.
He flipped out, but adjusted his posture before landing. A deep hole was left on his shoulder, but it was repairing quickly.
The severe pain and blood irritated his nerves. His eyes were fierce, but he didn't have a chance to speak before the enemy rushed up.
It will still be slow at first, until it gets close to a certain range, then it will suddenly accelerate.
This time, Morris was alert and reacted quickly. His fists were covered with red flames, like two jumping stars.
boom!
The collision of fists and hammers was like hammering iron, stirring up fiery fireworks and spreading billowing flames, but they were also suppressed within the range of the ring.
For a moment, the two sides were entangled in a fight, and it seemed difficult to determine the winner.
"How come he still has the characteristics of a genetic evolution system?" Li Ming was very puzzled and looked at the Supervisor. "But this guy is obviously a Titan evolution system, why can he also use the genetic evolution system?"
According to the information he had learned before, the higher the concentration of Titan blood, the lower the development potential.
The guy's blood concentration is over 90%, but his genetic evolution level is also at level X.
"I don't know either." The Overseer shook his head, "But I suspect it has something to do with the Eternal Holy See."
"The Eternal Holy Throne." Li Ming's eyes flickered as he stared at the arena. Is that thing so powerful?
Clyde was too weak to hold on for a moment before being defeated by his projection. He had never actually seen how his projection fought.
By switching the controlled objects, the speed and defense boosts brought by them all became default abilities, so the projection speed would fluctuate.
To be honest, it's a bit stupid. If it were him, he would just use Colossus Strike to smash this guy to pieces in the first round.
And the opponent was indeed not simple, as he could actually fight with him who was holding an infinite heavy hammer.
No wonder he was able to fight his way up from the King Trial.
"Not simple..." Li Ming couldn't help but sigh, "This guy's energy level should be around 1300X."
Since the trial this guy is undergoing is still a peak transcendence-level trial, it proves that he has not embarked on the ultimate path or become a secondary overlord.
At most, it has reached its limit in the dual evolution system.
Genetically evolved beings who have embarked on the ultimate path, such as Tandin, will be thrown directly into the secondary overlord trial.
In the King's Trial, after years of experience, the Titans basically have no chance to find loopholes.
Of course, in addition to the control system on his body, Li Ming was thinking in his heart.
Hearing his sigh, the Inspector hesitated to speak and finally sighed.
"How could the King Trial produce such a change?"
The Black King frowned as he watched the battle on the trial arena. Morris was clearly at a disadvantage.
The hammer in the opponent's hand was very strange. It didn't seem to be a weapon that he had mimicked himself, but a real hammer. When they collided, one could even hear the sound of metal clashing.
But this shouldn't be possible.
Where have you seen it before?
McKinney frowned, as if some information was about to come out of his mind, but he could not lock it.
boom!
Another collision, Morris pulled back, his arms trembling slightly, the scales on the back of his hands were broken and bleeding.
"This guy is very strong..." Morris felt solemn, especially the hammer, which was harder than any conventional transcendent-level weapons he had seen.
"However, compared to the original trial, it is actually much better."
After the initial contact, Morris was eager to try it out.
The most troublesome problem in the original King Trial was being surrounded and beaten. If one person could react, two might not. If two people could react, four might not.
Two fists can never beat four hands.
Now he only needs to face one person. Even if the opponent is slightly stronger than him, he is not without a solution.
Although I don’t know why this change occurred in the King Trial.
But he's about to pass!
Taking a deep breath, his body suddenly expanded, and energy flames burst out from the surface of his skin, enveloping him and forming a vortex.
A golden horn grew on his head and spikes protruded from his shoulders. He entered a state of genetic liberation.
But not only that, his whole body was emitting a brilliant light, as if two energies suddenly collided with each other, erupting with terrifying force, and suddenly rushed out like an arrow from a bow.
The dense energy particles were like misty streams of light, wrapping around Morris and tearing out a beam of light behind him.
This is a means of explosion, integrating the genetic evolution system and the Titan evolution system, forcing the two evolution systems to conflict, thereby unleashing a force far beyond the limit.
But after using this attack, he will fall into a seriously injured state.
Therefore, when he is surrounded and attacked, it is difficult for him to use this method effectively, but when facing only one enemy, he can use it unscrupulously.
But similarly, the target of the challenge seemed to have fallen into silence, but there was no movement from him, only a slight tremor in his body.
As he was about to approach, he also raised the hammer in his hand, seemingly slowly but actually quickly, and it seemed that what he raised was not a hammer, but a string of stars.
At this moment, Morris, who was originally extremely excited, suddenly felt that a disaster was about to happen. A chill ran from his tailbone to his forehead.
He actually saw the void around the hammer fluctuating and twisting.
"How is this possible!"
An irrepressible shock rose in his heart. This was the inner space of the Eternal Holy Throne.
What kind of power can cause distortion here?
He couldn't understand it, but his originally passionate emotions seemed to be extinguished by cold water.
He knew that he couldn't block this attack.
As he got closer, the uncontrollable panic became more and more obvious. His instinct told him that it was a force that he had no way to resist.
"How could he be this strong?" Morris even felt a sense of despair.
But the moment the two were about to come into contact, the sense of crisis suddenly disappeared.
Silently, he passed through the dispersing gray mist and fell awkwardly on the ring, his aura suddenly declining.
Apparently, the Eternal Holy See had decided that he could not be stopped and the challenge was over.
"Morris!" The Black King rushed forward and helped his son up from the ground, "You..."
Before he could finish, he was shocked to see Morris with a dejected look on his face, muttering to himself: "How could this happen, how could this happen..."
The Black King had never seen his son in this state. Even when he failed in the King Trial in the past, he did not care. He was always full of fighting spirit and believed that he would pass sooner or later.
"Morris!" he shouted in a deep voice. Morris was stunned, then slowly came back to his senses, as if trying to process what had just happened. His face changed and became more dejected. "Father, it's over."
"It's over? What's over?" The Black King frowned.
"The King Trial is over." Morris smiled bitterly, "I can't win anymore."
"Hmm?" The Black King's expression changed slightly. "It's just a failure. There will be many opportunities in the future. Although I don't know why the trial turned out like this, there is definitely a possibility of passing it."
Morris looked dazed. "Perhaps there's a chance I could get through, but that person definitely won't be me. Father, you don't understand what that feels like. I'm afraid even you couldn't withstand the power of that final hammer."
This is an unbridgeable gap.
"You can't even stop me?" The Black King was shocked and doubtful, subconsciously not believing it.
But Morris was never one to shirk responsibility.
"Why has the difficulty increased so much?" He looked grim. He had already evolved to the peak of the secondary overlord.
If he couldn't even stop him, it would be useless even if Morris tried a thousand times.
But he couldn't accept it. His ancestors had tried their best, spent a lot of energy, and lay dormant for many years to get to this point.
"Spirit Leader!" A voice suddenly came from behind.
The Black King suddenly turned his head and saw McKinney's face full of excitement.
He shuddered all over, feeling surrounded by a terrifying coldness. Only then did he react and quickly restrain himself.
"Lord Black King, I may have seen the man with the hammer." McKinney said with courage.
"Huh?" Black King was shocked. Morris also looked at him in astonishment. "Does he really exist in the main universe?"
"Where have you seen it?" the Black King pressed.
"The information Spirit Leader sent back earlier..." McKinney explained hurriedly, "He was once stopped by this person when he was searching for the Holy King's bloodline. To understand his origins, he conducted a thorough investigation. His name is Qinglong."
"Among the data sent, there is a video showing Qinglong once fighting with a purple hammer, which is very similar to the purple hammer used by the challenge target."
"I think this is not a coincidence."
Morris suddenly stood up and speculated, "Could it be that he must have accomplished something to make the King Trial target him?"
"Qinglong, central star field?" The Black King's face kept changing.
Combined with the newly opened Holy Castle, he vaguely felt that the two seemed to have some connection.
"Father..." Morris turned around and said in a deep voice, "We must go to the Central Star Region."
"That place..." The Black King hesitated. With their identities, appearing in the Central Star Region would immediately make them the target of public criticism. "If there were no Eternal Holy Throne..."
Morris shook his head helplessly. "If we don't figure out why the trial target changes, we will never be able to control the Eternal Holy Throne."
The Black King's expression changed, but he quickly decided, "Okay, let's go!"
…
In the Holy Castle
"It's over..." The Supervisor's tone was complicated, and the scene before him collapsed.
To be fair, Morris is already good enough and has fought through the peak transcendence level trial, so there is absolutely no problem.
Unfortunately, I met this guy who even the Holy Castle couldn't punish.
But fortunately, I met this guy. If a group of sinners who dared to kill pure-blooded Titans could sit on the Eternal Throne, it would be a great humiliation to the Titans.
Thinking about it this way, it’s actually a good thing.
“…I suddenly thought of a question. If we follow the original selection procedure of the Holy Castle, we should be able to obtain the Titan Relics without passing the Secondary Overlord Trial, right?” Li Ming suddenly asked. He also thought of this when he saw the black-faced burly man.
This guy had just reached the peak transcendental trial, but the Eternal Holy Throne had clearly been taken out.
"That's right and wrong," the Overseer nodded and explained, "If it were a regular selection process, obtaining the Titan Relic would be much easier, but with your current strength, it would definitely not be enough."
Li Ming estimated that it should be the difference between late S-level and X-level.
"And..." the Overseer continued, "...obtaining a Titan relic doesn't mean you can use it."
"What do you mean?" Li Ming came back to his senses.
The Overseer responded: "To use the Titan Relics, you need permission. The best way is to become a King."
"Oh." Li Ming suddenly realized, "That's why that guy challenged me."
But then, another question arose: "But how did the Empire use it before?"
"Then I'm not sure." The Overseer shook his head, then hesitated and said, "However, if it's a true pure-blooded Titan, the authority requirements are not that high."
"Hehe..." Li Ming immediately sneered, what authority or no authority.
Once they fall into his hands, he will most likely take control. Whether they obey or not is not up to these cold things to decide.
Let’s put this matter aside for now. The more troublesome thing now is that group of guys.
If the other party has been in contact with this star field, they may be able to collect relevant information.
There is a high probability that his identity can be identified through the infinite hammer, as this combat feature is quite obvious.
He mused secretly, "Although their identities are very sensitive and they probably wouldn't dare to act openly, we still have to be on guard against this."
