Chapter 270: Saint King Trial! Begin!

Above the ground, led by the Clan Leader and the giant ape Elder, countless ape youths looked up to the sky, their eyes filled with hope, blessings, and a lingering attachment.

They waved their arms, letting thunderous roars and shouts echo, sending off their kin, especially the Black Robe Figure.

"Ye Xiaoyou! May you rise to fame and establish ten thousand households, and reach the Absolute Peak!"

"Heavenly Hero! Heavenly Pivot! My ape brethren! Do not tarnish our ape's reputation! May you shine brilliantly in the trial and have your wishes fulfilled!"

…

Within the guiding beam, feeling the vast, lofty, seemingly primordial universal power surrounding him, Ye Wuque's mind and spirit were utterly tranquil.

This beam seemed to vary per person; the beam enveloping him contained Space-Time Power and an unseen supreme will that were far more massive and ancient than those of the others nearby.

He could even faintly sense, at the far end of the beam, in the infinite heights, a magnificent phantom of a Divine Hall that suppresses the heavens and steadies eternity, radiating everlasting light.

"Big brother!" The nearby young hero, also cloaked in the beam, turned his head and gave Ye Wuque a brilliant, battle‑ready smile, "Hope to meet you in the trial world! Then we brothers will join forces and sweep everything away! I'll go ahead first!"

As his words fell, the light of his guiding beam flickered, speed surged, and his figure blurred and vanished first, as if swallowed by an invisible vortex.

Ye Wuque gave a slight nod toward the direction of his disappearance.

At that moment, the vast, lofty, ancient, towering supreme will that enveloped him became even clearer.

It was not overbearing, yet it bore an undeniable majesty, as if Tiandao itself whispered.

A clear thought, like a flowing spring, manifested directly in the depths of his mind and spirit:

"Guiding target: Ye Wuque."

"Trial type: Chaotic Timeline Saint King Trial."

"Do you accept the supreme will of the Great Thousand Divine Universe to guide you to the trial realm?"

The thought was concise and direct, without any superfluous adornment, yet it carried supreme authority.

Ye Wuque's gaze was calm, his Dao heart clear, with no hesitation, and he gave a definite response within his mind and spirit:

"Agree."

As if an ancient mechanism were triggered, the instant he chose, the guiding beam surrounding him suddenly erupted with unprecedented radiant divine brilliance!

Buzz—!!!

Ye Wuque only felt his whole body tighten as an irresistible, towering Space-Time Power instantly enveloped him!

The scene before his eyes began to warp wildly, stretching into countless streams of radiant light!

In his ears rang the roar of Space-Time being traversed at extreme speed, like the ancient Star River surging!

His consciousness, in this time‑space traversal beyond ordinary comprehension, inevitably fell into a strange chaotic state.

It seemed as if endless ages had passed, yet also as if it was but a flicker of a finger.

He could not feel his own existence, nor the passage of time; only the great will from the Great Thousand Divine Universe, like a lighthouse, guided the way, protecting his True Spirit from losing its way in the boundless Time‑Space Turbulence.

Finally the last beam fully withdrew its light, and all the selected ape Heavenly Pride, including Ye Wuque, had set out on the journey.

Between heaven and earth, calm gradually returned, yet the excitement and anticipation lingering in the air persisted for a long time.

The Clan Leader stroked his beard and sighed deeply, his eyes filled with emotion and boundless hope:

"The Beast Grand Assembly, for Ye Xiaoyou, is merely a small test, a first glimpse of his edge. But this Great Thousand Divine Universe trial… is truly the supreme event that can let his hidden dragon soar to the Nine Heavens and fully rise to the summit of the Zhutian Wanjie!"

His gaze was deep, as if he already saw the future storm sweeping across the heavens.

"This is the dragon returning to the sea, the tiger entering the forest! It truly belongs to him, and to all the Absolute Peak monsters of this era… the ultimate battleground!"

The giant ape Elder beside him nodded heavily, whispering, "The Clan Leader's words are spot on! From the moment Ye Xiaoyou, in the Beast Grand Assembly, boldly manifested the Extreme Realm, and with invincible might subdued the Golden‑Winged Great Peng clan's Huntian, I knew this youth's astonishing talent was limitless, far beyond what we could imagine!"

He looked around at the still‑excited young ape beings and said, "Being able to meet Ye Xiaoyou is a blessing for our Holy War Heavenly Ape Clan! For those little brats Heavenly Hero and Heavenly Pivot, being able to regard Ye Wuque as big brother is a destiny cultivated over several lifetimes! This will completely change their life paths!"

All the ape clan's high officials knew clearly that Ye Wuque's future was destined to shine through the ages, standing atop the summit of the heavens.

Forming a deep bond with him at this moment is an incalculable treasure for the entire ape clan.

…

Not only the Holy War Heavenly Ape Clan, at this moment, the entire Zhutian Wanjie, endless Star Domains, endless continents, endless secret realms…

Wherever sentient life exists, countless gazes, bright or dim, hopeful or wary, subtly turned toward Above the Nine Heavens, toward the Unknowable Land bathed in the light of the Big Dipper's seven stars!

Nine Heavens Ten Earths, Liuhe Bahuang, Honghuang World, and even more unknown hidden corners…

The opening of the Great Thousand Divine Universe trial, its scope so vast and its impact so far‑reaching, surpasses the limits of ordinary beings' comprehension, truly stirring the hearts of countless top powers across the Zhutian Wanjie!

This is a supreme feast destined to be recorded in ancient history, determining the future flow of destiny…!

…

Finally, after being taken by the guiding beam, Ye Wuque, after an unknown length of transmission,

Suddenly, all the roaring and twisting sensations receded like the tide.

A feeling of solid ground returned!

The massive Space‑Time pressure around him vanished instantly, and the heart‑pounding sensation of traversal abruptly ceased.

Ye Wuque snapped his eyes open, a hint of chaos swiftly fading, restoring clarity and depth.

He had already left the Ancestral Land of the Holy War Heavenly Ape Clan, departed the Wild Sky, and appeared in a… completely unfamiliar place!

Looking around, he stood within an immense, endless valley.

The valley was filled with towering ancient trees, entwining vines, exuding an overwhelming Life Essence and a primitive ancient aura.

The sky was an odd pale violet, with several suns of varying colors and sizes hanging, casting mottled warm light.

And almost at the very moment he landed and steadied himself—

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A dense cascade of slicing sounds echoed from all over the sky!

Thousands of guiding beams of varying colors and intensities fell like a meteor shower, almost simultaneously descending from the heavens, landing precisely in every corner of the massive valley!

Each beam's dissipation revealed a young figure of great aura, each in a different form!

Some wore scale armor, a single horn sprouted from their heads, being powerful demon races; some were cloaked in holy light, wings sprouting from their backs, descendants of the divine race; some exuded overwhelming demonic aura, crimson pupils, hailing from abyssal demon realms; there were also human cultivators, their Dao robes fluttering, sword qi soaring through clouds; and some peculiar races, either sculpted like jade, or like animated plants, or composed purely of elements…

Thousands of Dao Bodies, representing young Heavenly Pride from Zhutian Wanjie of various races and lineages!

They, upon first landing, after a brief bewilderment, were instantly replaced by endless vigilance and battle intent!

Strong, overbearing divine consciousnesses, like invisible tentacles, frantically scanned everything around, especially nearby peers, assessing threats, seeking possible allies or… Dark Hunter!

The entire vast valley, whose original tranquility was shattered in an instant, was shrouded by a suppressing, tense, tinder‑ready terrifying atmosphere, like a solid black cloud, covering the hearts of all Heavenly Pride.

At this moment of drawn swords and taut bows, when the tension peaked—

The vast, majestic, supreme will‑voice, seemingly emanating from the Path Origin, like Nine Heavens thunder, without warning simultaneously reverberated deep within the souls of every present Heavenly Pride, booming!

"Great Thousand Divine Universe… Chaotic Time Line… Saint King Trial…"

"First Stage… Grand Melee…"

"Rules: Unlimited melee until this battle zone… only the final hundred Saint Kings remain!"

"This is: Battle Zone No. ___…"

"Now!"

"Melee…"

"Begin!!"

The moment the word "Begin" fell, it seemed as if a Destruction switch had been pressed!

Boom！！！！！！！！！

Thousands of young Saint Kings from Zhutian Wanjie, proud and with astonishing combat power, whose long‑stored battle intent, killing intent, and yearning for advancement, at this moment… were completely ignited, exploding with a boom!!!
