Chen Tian watched the scene in the picture, believing that Sen Sha would pass the test. With greater ability comes greater responsibility. Sen Sha was a good person, and Chen Tian believed he would use the power he gained for good. However, Chen Tian's lips twitched as he asked, "Are you sure this trial is something others can pass?"
"I thought the Divine Realm was still the same Divine Realm. Who knew that the great battle back then was something even you couldn't turn the tide of? I can only say it was unexpected, but this person's potential is indeed good. Never mind, let's keep drinking while we watch. Come, let's continue. You don't need to worry about things here."
King Sha laughed heartily, appearing so carefree that nothing seemed important enough to him to overshadow drinking. Chen Tian knew King Sha's personality. Meanwhile, Sen Sha, looking at Mo Wang before him, wondered if the final test was to fight Mo Wang. That would be a bit too much, considering the vast difference between them.
"Kid, if you can defeat just this one clone of mine, you will obtain my inheritance. If you fail, you are destined to have no part in it. You don't need to worry about me using my full strength against you, but I won't hold back. Come, attack with all your might, and let me see if you have what it takes."
Mo Wang looked indifferent. Hearing Mo Wang's words, Sen Sha felt it was possible to win. With equal strength, Sen Sha had a chance to win. Moreover, this was just a clone with limited abilities. As long as he didn't face Mo Wang's main body, Sen Sha and Mo Wang's clone would be evenly matched, or at least six to four. Sen Sha wouldn't be much weaker than Mo Wang. Sen Sha summoned a long saber into his palm, resting it on his shoulder. His arms sprouted wrist blades, and his entire body was clad in black and silver armor, his aura exploding.
Mo Wang, looking as if he was impressed, nodded, acknowledging Sen Sha's action. No matter when or where, when aware of the gap between them, one must attack with full force and not hide their strength. Sen Sha did very well in this regard. However, this aura was merely for show. Who was Mo Wang? He was the king of the desert region, having experienced countless battles, even sparring with Chen Tian. His combat experience was far beyond that of ordinary players. Mo Wang stood still. Sen Sha, expecting Mo Wang to attack first, was surprised to see him standing there. Sen Sha decisively attacked, channeling energy into his long saber and bringing it down. The heavens and earth split apart, as if the entire world was cleaved in two, and space began to ripple.
At this moment, the space here was not a game space but a real one. Sen Sha's strength was digitized and condensed into pure energy, which was the secret behind Chronos Era. Players' levels, equipment, and skills would be unleashed in the final battle. All players had the instinct to fight. Chen Tian had already made all the arrangements. There were only a few months left until the final battle. As Sen Sha's long saber approached Mo Wang, Mo Wang simply extended his hand, palm open, and caught the saber. Sen Sha was well aware of such situations. He was shocked that the opponent could not block this blow. Sen Sha exerted more force with his arms but found that the saber could not budge an inch.
Mo Wang's palm merely clenched, and a cracking sound echoed. The long saber was covered in cracks and then exploded into countless fragments. Mo Wang said placidly, "This weapon's quality is really poor. Kid, do you have anything else? Show me."
Sen Sha's wrist blades crossed and shot out as a cross-shaped projectile. Mo Wang's palm remained open, forming a barrier that enveloped his entire body. Sen Sha's attack struck the barrier without causing any disturbance. With a wave of Mo Wang's hand, the barrier erupted with a shockwave, pushing Sen Sha back. He retreated continuously, his wrist blades on his arms shattering bit by bit. He could never have imagined that with equal strength, Mo Wang could be this powerful. As the shockwave dissipated, Sen Sha was a hundred meters away from Mo Wang. Fortunately, the shockwave did not inflict much damage.
Sen Sha's mind was racing, trying to figure out how to defeat Mo Wang. This trial was truly not simple. With all his secondary weapons destroyed, he could only use his primary weapon. A weapon resembling both a long saber and a long sword appeared in Sen Sha's hand. The entire weapon was azure blue. The left side of the blade was long, while the right side was in the shape of a saber. In the center of the blade, there was a round cannon barrel sandwiched between them. The hilt was blue, wrapped with a wave pattern.
Sen Sha picked up the weapon with one hand. The moment the weapon appeared, a terrifying force swept out. The weapon's aura alone caused the surrounding space to ripple. Mo Wang looked at the weapon in Sen Sha's hand, his eyes revealing a gaze that seemed to be reminiscing about something.
Chen Tian was drinking and watching with Mo Wang. When Chen Tian saw Sen Sha's weapon, he turned to look at Mo Wang and teased, "It seems someone is about to be dealt with by their own weapon."
"Heh heh, even if you get my destined weapon, so what? But I am curious how humans managed to transform it like this."
"It was supposed to be a flawed weapon, yet it has become even more powerful than before."
King Sha looked at the weapon in the picture. Despite the change in appearance, the original aura of the weapon in Sen Sha's hand was very familiar and was one with King Sha. This weapon was crafted from fragments of King Sha's destined weapon. He really didn't know if Sen Sha was lucky or not to stumble upon this. It seemed Sen Sha was determined to obtain King Sha's inheritance.
"However, your trial doesn't seem to attack actively, which is quite good."
Chen Tian picked up his wine cup and took a small sip. The two of them had already drunk over thirty jars of wine without a winner. They knew a decision couldn't be reached quickly. The last drinking contest lasted for five days and five nights; it had been less than a day, so it was normal.
"It's alright. The difficulty wasn't high enough to begin with, and I'm not doing anything to bully a junior. Let's continue drinking and watching."
Sen Sha gripped his weapon tightly, his full strength surging. This weapon was one of his trump cards. Few people knew what Sen Sha's primary weapon was because he had never used it in front of other players, generally relying on his secondary weapons. His secondary weapons had just been crushed by Mo Wang. Since there was no one else, this was a test. Exposing this weapon was not a big problem.
Sen Sha knew the saying "possession of a treasure is a crime." Ever since he obtained this weapon, he had rarely displayed it, only using it when absolutely necessary. Now was that moment. Sen Sha held the hilt with both hands, took a step forward, and the left edge of the sword sharpened into a blade. He swung the sword, a strike more terrifying than the previous one. Mo Wang faced Sen Sha's attack with his palm still open, covered by the barrier. The long sword struck the barrier, sparks flying, but it did not break through the defense.
Sen Sha twisted his palm, and the long sword's side switched to the saber side. The barrier seemed to be attacked by an irresistible force and even showed cracks. With a swing of the saber, his arms came down, and the blade's light slashed through the barrier, shattering it into pieces.
Mo Wang looked at the approaching blade and flicked his finger, pointing at the blade with his index finger. A monstrous force was transmitted, sending Sen Sha flying. Sen Sha could not comprehend what was happening. He had unleashed his full power, yet he was at a disadvantage. Even with equal strength, Sen Sha's power should not be much weaker than Mo Wang's.
"It seems this little fellow hasn't realized the gap between them yet!"
"Indeed. You and he are not on the same level. Even his clone is enough for him to handle."
Chen Tian and King Sha watched Sen Sha being sent flying. King Sha's clone had the same strength as Sen Sha. In essence, with full power, Sen Sha could defeat Sen Sha. Why wasn't Sen Sha a match for King Sha's clone? It was the mastery of power. King Sha, being an existence with countless battles under his belt, far surpassed Sen Sha in power control and usage. Sen Sha only knew how to unleash his full power, which led to energy loss. King Sha's clone, however, could ensure 100% energy circulation.
This was why Sen Sha was no match for King Sha. The moment Sen Sha was sent flying, he pointed his weapon at King Sha. Sen Sha refused to believe he wasn't Mo Wang's match. The left and right sides of his long sword slowly parted and then moved to the sides of Sen Sha's arms, with the cannon mouths aimed at Mo Wang. A white beam of light shot out, heading straight for Mo Wang. Mo Wang felt the power and his expression finally turned solemn. He made a gesture, and sand formed into a shield in his hand. The beam of light struck the sand shield, and an explosion echoed.
When the explosion subsided, Mo Wang stood unharmed, his sand shield showing no damage. This made Sen Sha doubt himself. How was he supposed to fight this?
He was unsure where the gap between them lay. Their strength was clearly the same, yet his attacks couldn't even break through the opponent's defense. He had already gone all out.
"Kid, your mastery of power is still insufficient, so don't give up. Continue. This is not your true strength yet."
Mo Wang's cold voice rang out, his eyes seeming to look favorably upon Sen Sha. This clone, like Chen Tian's clone, integrated King Sha's memories and consciousness. The previous attack was indeed somewhat impressive. Mo Wang thought highly of the young man before him, believing this inheritor might go further than he did.
Hearing Mo Wang's words, Sen Sha resolved not to give up on himself. Obtaining power was not easy; power did not appear out of nowhere; it was earned through effort.
Sen Sha's mindset shifted. He had initially just wanted to gain power, but now his thought was to master power. If he couldn't even master the power in his hands, how could he hope to gain even greater power?
Sen Sha bowed to Mo Wang's clone, closed his eyes, and took a deep breath. Memories seemed to surface in his mind, memories that did not belong to this world.
"Oh, he has awakened his cultivation method ahead of time. This kid's talent is quite good."
"Chen Tian, is he the one you chose?"
Chen Tian shook his head. Sen Sha was still far from that level. At least before the final battle, he could surpass some people and ensure his own safety. Protecting the ones he loved and cherished was too difficult. However, Sen Sha's realm had significantly improved. By practicing diligently, he might reach that stage, but it would take time.
"I feel like your trial can end now. You have achieved your goal, and there's no need to continue."
Chen Tian said. King Sha did not speak and directly dispelled the image. The two of them resumed their drinking.
In the trial, Sen Sha opened his eyes. He didn't know how much time had passed. Sen Sha felt his current strength was several times greater than before, even though his strength hadn't truly increased, he had this feeling.
"Hahahaha, kid, congratulations on passing the trial. With your proficient mastery of power, you can now be on par with me. In fact, I am no match for you. You have won this trial. Come, accept my inheritance!"
Mo Wang's figure transformed into countless starlight that enveloped Sen Sha. These starlight particles entered Sen Sha's body, and Sen Sha fell into a deep sleep. Accepting the inheritance required time, and Sen Sha's physique was insufficient for such a rapid assimilation; he needed to slumber for a period.
Chen Tian and King Sha drank, and Sen Sha accepted his inheritance. In another world, Pigeon was engaged in a fierce battle. Chen Tian had no idea Pigeon was still fighting; otherwise, he wouldn't be leisurely drinking. Pigeon retreated, looking at Cloud Water Celestial Dragon with annoyance, saying, "You're really tenacious."
"Aren't you the same? We've been fighting for eight whole days and nights without a winner. Kid, you really are our enemy."
The battle between Cloud Water Celestial Dragon and Pigeon had lasted for a full eight days. For eight days and nights, both sides had not rested. Their energy was truly running low. Pigeon was the first to propose, "How about we take a break and then decide the winner with one move? This can't go on forever. I'm sure you have urgent matters, otherwise, you wouldn't be so eager in the subsequent battles, leaving so many openings."
"Hmph, aren't you the same? However, you should be more anxious than I am. I accept this proposal, one decisive blow. Let's recover our energy first."
Both sides ceased their attacks, trusting each other not to betray the agreement. This was the pride of the strong. Pigeon and Cloud Water Celestial Dragon would never do such a thing.
Pigeon's internal energy recovered rapidly. Pigeon had his own plan. The one-move decisive victory was Pigeon's sure path to victory. The reason was simple: after eight days and nights of fighting, some of Pigeon's strength had been unsealed. Once fully recovered, in a one-move decisive victory, Pigeon would surely win.
He didn't know how much time had passed. Pigeon and Cloud Water Celestial Dragon flew upwards together. Both sides had recovered. Pigeon had not fully recovered, only about seventy to eighty percent, which was sufficient. Remember, Pigeon's previous strength could contend with Cloud Water Celestial Dragon, let alone now that some of his strength had been unsealed. The current Pigeon would not fear Cloud Water Celestial Dragon.
Evil Spirit power coiled around Cloud Water Celestial Dragon's arm. Pigeon brought out his Divine Spirit Shield and Divine Spirit Sword, the matching pair. Both sides aimed for a decisive blow.
Chen Tian watched King Sha's figure flicker. Chen Tian knew King Sha's time was almost up. However, he had drunk with King Sha for a full three days. Both were satisfied, and this time, there was still no clear winner.
"I must depart. Chen Tian, if you meet my other three brothers, please convey my regards to them."
"Alright."
Chen Tian naturally would not refuse. King Sha's figure dissipated, his energy no longer able to maintain the form.
