Against The Gods
Chapter 180 – Dragon Trial


This is a dry and barren plateau. Gazing outwards, the surroundings were filled with steep mountains that pierced into a sea of clouds. The mountain range that surrounded the area, turned this place into an inescapable and isolated land, where even half of the emitted rays were blocked.


Yun Che, who passed through the 'Gate' of Court and entered this place, looked around, and frowned. The platform on which he stood was very small. It was so small that he could even see the extreme end of the platform in his current position. The length of the platform was no more than a quarter of a kilometer, and it was nearly a hundred meters wide. The surroundings were all mountains, so there was basically no road to walk through. And, all the mountain peaks seemed to be hidden within the clouds; even if one thought of ascending onto one of them, it was absolutely impossible to do.


"Take me off…"


Little Fairy, who was in his arms, let out a weak voice, and even her right arm, the only limb she could move freely, made a little struggle. Yun Che knew he was not used to it, or, to be exact, he really hated contact with men. He knelt down, took out a light pink blanket and placed it on the floor. After which, he placed Little Fairy on it, and said gently, “You don't need to worry. Unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't casually touch you. Right now, we have entered the Dragon God trial grounds. It doesn't matter whether you want to or not, our current destiny, is already fully connected. If we make it through this ordeal, the two of us will be able to live on, and even gain tremendous benefits. If we fail .. then we will both die. ”


“But, before our failure, you certainly had no thoughts of dying, and worked hard to keep you alive, okay? Because this is not my own ordeal, but a trial that belongs to both of us, and it has to do with our destiny. Hope You can give me strength and give yourself hope . Hope can not only survive, but have a complete recovery of your profound veins and meridians, and even directly break into the Emperor Profound Realm! "


Since young, Little Fairy had the qualifications to reach the absolute peak, and no one of her age was capable of fighting against her. He had yet to become middle-aged, but was already half a step away from the Emperor Realm. He basically spent most of his life being admired and looked upon. She was used to standing at a height where no one would dream, and with great pride, looked down on others, he was comforted by Yun Che. He was not used to it, nor could he explain the feeling he was currently feeling. He closed his eyes, and gave no other answer, but the thought of death in his heart, had disappeared silently a while ago.


“You actually took my blanket and gave it to another girl. Are you not afraid that I will get angry? "Jasmine said a little furiously.


"Jasmine, you have a big heart, so you definitely won't bother with such a small matter. After I return to Blue Wind Imperial City, I will definitely buy you a better one. ”


Jasmine snorted coldly. "Hmph! We can talk about it again after you can return to Blue Wind Imperial City with your life intact. You really insist on taking this woman to the trial court. I really don't know what you're thinking! Not only will the difficulty increase, you will definitely be disturbed because of him .. This is the ordeal of the Dragon God! The degree of difficulty, is something impossible for you to imagine! In my current condition, I cannot use my strength in the slightest, you are alone. ”


Jasmine's voice was filled with bitterness. In her eyes, the decision Yun Che had brought Little Fairy to court was undoubtedly a death-seeking move. But with his understanding of Yun Che's personality in the one year he was with her, this step of hers, was not the least bit unexpected for him.


In the sky above, the voice of the Azure Primordial Dragon suddenly resounded:


“Welcome to the Dragon God trial field, two young humans. In this trial, there will be a total of three stages. Where you two are now, is where the first stage will be held. In front of you, is the only entrance to where the second stage will be held. Defeat all the Stone Dragon Warriors in this place, and the entrance will naturally open. ”


As the Primordial Azure Dragon's voice dissipated, in front of Yun Che, two yellow balls of light suddenly began to flash, he held the Colossal Sword Master horizontally in front of him.


Yellow lights scattered, and two figures appeared before Yun Che's eyes. Their bodies were no different from most people, but they seemed to be carved out of stone, and looked extremely sturdy. Their heads looked half human, and half dragon. They held a stone spear in one hand and a stone shield on the other, when their pair of expressionless eyes firmly locked onto Yun Che.


Is this the Stone Dragon Warrior that the Azure Primordial Dragon spoke of? The vigilance Yun Che had in his heart rose, but soon after, his heart calmed down. Because, he did not feel any trace of intimidation from the aura of power being released from the two Stone Dragon Warriors.


"They might be at the Fourth Level of the True Profound Realm, just like you. "Say Jasmine.


The two Stone Dragon Warriors had already started moving as it charged straight towards Yun Che. Their bodies looked heavy, as their steps walked were extremely deafening.


Facing an enemy of the same level at the same time, to an ordinary practitioner, was indeed extremely difficult. However, to Yun Che, it was basically not the slightest bit frightening. Because he, who had four great heavenly abilities in one body, could completely eliminate opponents of the same level in an instant.


Yun Che waited for the two Stone Dragon Warriors to approach, and swept his sword .. which, was even longer than the spear the Dragon Stone Warrior held. When the first Stone Dragon Warrior had just raised his spear and took an attacking position, Yun Che's sword had already struck the stone spear, instantly breaking it into pieces. Then, without losing momentum, his sword entered into his waist .. However, even at this point, there was no sign of the strength behind the sword diminishing, as it continued to sweep through the air, and yet, even at this point, there was no sign of the power behind the sword diminishing, crashing into the body of the second Stone Dragon Warrior.


The shattered bodies of the two Stone Dragon Warriors lay on the floor and then, disappeared completely in a flash of light.


Yun Che had only swung once .. and in just one breath, he destroyed two Stone Dragon Warriors and a stone spear. It was absolutely no exaggeration to say that, in the entire younger generation within the Blue Wind Empire, it was impossible to find a second person, on the same level as Yun Che, who was capable of doing this.


After directly defeating two opponents of the same level, Yun Che did not relax because of this. This was the ordeal of the Dragon God, so how could this be this easy? If the difficulty of the trial was only at this level, then it would be unreasonable for all the previous hundred and twenty-nine people who took the trial to lose their lives.


Ziiiing ~


Although the number had increased to four, the strength of this Stone Dragon Warrior had not changed and was still at the same level as Yun Che, the fourth level of the True Profound Realm. Yun Che took a step forward; his greatsword swept out like a dragon tail, and with a loud voice, the four Stone Dragon Warriors weighing at least several hundred kilos were sent flying far away. When they landed, all four of them were smashed into pieces.


The Four Stone Dragon Warriors, were still instantly eliminated. The tyranny and attack range of a heavy sword, was something that could not be compared to that of a longspear.


Without giving Yun Che any time to wait, after the four shattered Dragon Stone Warriors disappeared, a ray of yellow light once again flashed in front of Yun Che, and this time, there were eight of them.


Eight Stone Dragon Warriors appeared in a single line in front of Yun Che. Even with these figures, Yun Che was still not afraid. Without waiting for the Stone Dragon Warrior to attack, he took the initiative to rush towards them and sweep his heavy sword with greater force than before.


BANG BANG BANG !!


The three Stone Dragon Warriors had just appeared, but their heads had already turned into rubble, falling upright onto the ground. At this moment, three spears punched Yun Che from his side. Without seeing them, Yun Che swept his sword, then the three stone spears instantly shattered, and the air waves carried by the sweep forced the remaining five Dragon Stone Warriors to retreat. Right after, he darted forward and cut three times. Three heavy bangs resounded, and five Stone Dragon Warriors shattered one after another...In this entire process, not only were the eight Stone Dragon Warriors unable to touch Yun Che, but they were not, they were unable to even approach within three steps of him.


At this moment, in Yun Che's mind, Jasmine's warning sounded. “Do not attack them ferociously. Try to limit your use of profound energy as much as possible. Have you ever noticed that the number of these Stone Dragon Warriors doubled in each subsequent wave? In the last few waves, there will definitely be more! ”


"I know . "Yun Che nodded. The first wave has two, the second wave has four, and the third wave has eight. Following this pattern, the next wave will definitely have sixteen of them, and the next wave after that will have thirty-two, and then sixty-four …


“Fight against opponents of the same level, and even a dozen of them at the same time, if it was anyone else, it would definitely be despair. But for me .. Even if a hundred of them came at the same time, I would still be able to kill them all without leaving a single one behind! "Yun Che said solemnly.


As he said that, a yellow light once again lit up in front of him, and eight new Stone Dragon Warriors appeared.


Whereabouts? Eight of them? Why are there only eight? Is eight really the limit? In his heart, Yun Che was slightly surprised. When he was about to come forward to attack, suddenly, he felt that something was amiss, but he could also feel them behind him.


He stopped his tracks and quickly turned around. He was shocked to see eight Stone Dragon Warriors wielding spears appearing behind as well, and they were currently heading towards Little Fairy, who was lying on the floor.


"You're looking to die!"


Enraged, Yun Che dashed back at lightning speed. Like a dragon, his sword swing carried a hurricane, pushing all the Stone Dragon Warriors closer to Little Fairy, and then, he quickly headed to the side of Little Fairy. But this time, he did not dare to take the initiative to deal with it. Instead, he stood at the side of Little Fairy, and destroyed the Warrior Dragon Stone that attacked them one after another, the eight Warrior Dragon Stones at the back came charging towards them together. They seemed to have known Yun Che's weakness, as all of their longspears were pointing towards Little Fairy, who had been laid on the floor.


Attacks came from both front and back; to Yun Che, it was a small matter. But Little Fairy was in the midst of danger, so she could not allow the slightest negligence; like the current state of Little Fairy, she could die at any time. And currently, there were only sixteen Stone Dragon Warriors, yet there would be even more in each subsequent wave. If he was going to lie on the ground the entire time while he was just standing guarding her by his side, it would be impossible to ensure his safety.


Yun Che thus made a decision. He wildly swung his heavy sword, drawing a pale black full moon around his body, which forced all the Stone Dragon Warriors to retreat about six meters away. Then, he removed his left hand from the handle of the sword, and mastered it with only his right hand. He carried Little Fairy with his left arm, and tightly held her on his shoulder. Then, he dove into the group of Stone Dragon Warriors; wherever his sword was swung, the crushed stones would fly.


"Are you crazy !?" Yun Che's actions completely shocked Jasmine as she exclaimed. "You actually wield your heavy sword with one hand .. This will cause your power to fall twice as fast! By carrying it, it will not only increase your stamina depletion rate, it will also affect your movement, and cause you to be constantly distracted, hurry up and throw him aside and control your energy consumption . ”


"I can't do that!" Yun Che said without hesitation. "You can call me an idiot and even call me arrogant, but I'll never take it down .. If you're in his place, I'll never throw you away either!"


As he said that, the heavy sword Yun Che had swung six crescent moons, destroying all sixteen Stone Dragon Warriors.


Jasmine: "."B: "…"
