The second trial of the Great Empress mystic realm was not only a test of one’s strength, but also a test of one’s mental demons.
A warrior’s martial life could be as long as a thousand years or even a hundred thousand years. Countless numbers of things could happen during this period. And these would tend to form mental demons of all sizes.
Even a venerable monk would have a mental demon. For example, in the past, the 18 Emperor Arhats from the Daming Temple that had prevailed for a long time in the Tian Yuan world also had mental demons.
The destruction of the Daming Temple and the siege of countless Buddhist followers were survived by a few disciples. However, due to the bloody massacre, they also had mental demons deeply planted.
The higher a warrior’s cultivation level was, the stronger his mental demons were. The more obsessive and persistent someone was, the more stubborn the mental demons would be.
When warriors were to breakthrough in their martial arts realms, or undergoing reclusive death training, once their mental demons raged, it could result in them suffering a cultivation deviation. The consequences were extremely serious.
Shen Tu Nantian was one of the many cultivators, who had participated in the Great Empress mystic realm, with the most serious of mental demons. The Yi Yun formed from his mental demons was too strong!
“Boom!”
In the illusion, Yi Yun was armed with a sword, slashing at Shen Tu Nantian’s Transcendent Immortal Paradise!
Sword Qi flared as beams of light rained down.
This Transcendent Immortal Paradise was not only Shen Tu Nantian’s Aspect Totem, it was also a domain of Shen Tu Nantian. As long as his Transcendent Immortal Paradise was not destroyed, he would receive an increase in strength inside it. He was the master of that domain.
However, the phantom Yi Yun’s simple slash of the sword caused Shen Tu Nantian’s Transcendent Immortal Paradise to form a crack.
“Kill!”
Shen Tu Nantian roared loudly as he came before Yi Yun. He stabbed with his sword that was burning with a purple flame. This was no ordinary flame, but a mutated fire that came from a different world!
The veins on Shen Tu Nantian’s face protruded violently as murderous intent flared.
He had completely treated the illusion in front of him as the real Yi Yun. He could not wait to kill him to receive satisfaction!
…
…
Bam!
Outside the door of light, in the black stoned square around the God Advent Tower, a youth was suddenly ejected.
When he first came out, he was still yelling while brandishing the weapon in his hand. But soon, he regained his clarity of mind. He realized he had returned to the black stoned square.
The youth was covered in sweat. After feeling a sense of loss, a look of indignation and disappointment appeared on his face.
He had been eliminated.
And looking at his surroundings, there was no one else. He was the first to be eliminated.
Thinking back to his experience in the God Advent Tower, it was completely unbearable. He had relived a most horrible event in his childhood. It was his worst nightmare.
And in the God Advent Tower, it had been perfectly restored. He mistakenly believed that he had returned to his childhood and was suffering that horrible event once again.
There was no other way. It was too difficult for him to conquer his mental demons.
It was quite a setback for him to be the first to be eliminated.
At this moment, the door of light stirred, and another figure was ejected.
The youth quickly focused and realized that the person who had been eliminated right after him was the idiotic swarthy youth from before.
Sensing another person’s gaze, the swarthy youths turned his head over and gave him a fatuous smile.
The youth suddenly felt vexed. This swarthy youth did not feel any embarrassment or indignation from being eliminated early. His happy look made the youth feel speechless.
It was probably as what the dark-skinned kid said from before, he had passed the bridge due to luck.
Since he had relied on luck, then he was probably satisfied that he managed to last a while.
However, seeing this swarthy youth’s relaxed look, he did not look like he had been in a big battle. He had probably not even spent an additional ounce of strength to last a little bit longer. He had actually lost to such a person…
Following that, more and more people were ejected from the door of light. A majority of people were still frantically brandishing their weapons when they were ejected. It was only after a while before they regained clarity of mind. With a pale face, they revealed regret or fear on their faces.
The Great Empress mystic realm was too strange. The things it conjured were the things they feared most or people they hated greatly. If they were not careful, they would succumb to the illusion and find it difficult to extricate themselves.
