Chapter 282: Exceptional Admission! Young Supreme Trial!

The upcoming itinerary did not disappoint them.

Although there was no longer a crushing situation like that of Ye Beichen and Ziyang Shen, who wield absolute dominance, the contests for the other towers were equally fierce, worthy of a dragon‑tiger battle, with all kinds of powerful divine abilities, forbidden secret arts, terrifying bloodlines constantly emerging, fighting so that heaven and earth shattered and the Void broke, causing Ye Wuque and Ziyang Shen to nod repeatedly.

At the summit of a massive tower shrouded in endless mist, Ye Wuque saw an unexpected yet unsurprising figure—Kunxu!

This Kun Clan Heavenly Pride, who had previously decisively chosen to retreat under his command, was now locked in fierce battle with a formidable opponent whose aura was as deep and vast as the boundless sea.

The formidable opponent wielded countless waters, manifesting myriad water divine abilities, with power that surged like the heavens.

But Kunxu displayed the terrifying strength of a Kun Clan Forbidden Inheritor; his movements were bizarre and unfathomable, his power burst astonishingly, and finally he seized a flaw in his opponent, using a Kun Clan Ancient War Method imbued with destructive power to blast the foe off the tower's summit, successfully obtaining a Divine Universe Imperial Crystal.

"Kunxu's strength is indeed remarkable," Ziyang Shen evaluated.

Ye Wuque gave a slight nod; Kunxu's decisive nature, his ability to read the situation, and his sufficiently formidable strength that allowed him to stand out here were indeed not surprising.

Time passed, about a day later.

Boom—!

A vast, towering will once again enveloped the world of the Dijiuguan's Diwuzhanqu.

The cold, majestic voice of the Great Thousand Divine Universe resonated deep within the hearts of every remaining Heavenly Pride.

"Dijiuguan, concluded."

"Diwuzhanqu, the ultimate victors... ten individuals!"

"The list is as follows: Ye Wuque, Ziyang Shen, Ye Beichen, Daofeitian, Kunxu, Chenfeng, Jianwuming, Xiahouyinghao, Shuizhongdi, Qilinzi!"

The grand voice, like a divine decree, proclaimed the ultimate ruler of this Diwuzhanqu!

From the initial tens of thousands of awe‑inspiring Saint Kings, after brutal selection and combat, in the end only these ten succeeded in reaching the summit, standing upon the endless equal tier, seizing the Divine Universe Imperial Crystal that symbolizes power!

The light flickered, and all Heavenly Pride who failed to obtain the Imperial Crystal, bearing complex feelings of regret, unwillingness, or acceptance, were enveloped by the teleportation power and gradually vanished from this battle‑zone world.

Immediately thereafter, ten even more radiant, more sacred beams of light descended from the mysterious supreme heights, precisely enveloping Ye Wuque and the other nine victors.

Within those beams lay a strange yet warm power, merging into their bodies like seeds.

At the same time, three simple‑styled boxes emitting a soft radiant glow slowly floated before each of them.

"Having triumphed in the trial, you are granted a strand of Guiding Divine Light; with this you may in the future sense and be transported to the Great Thousand Divine Universe."

"Additionally, three Divine Universe treasure boxes are bestowed, each containing opportunities as a reward."

"Whether to join the Great Thousand Divine Universe is a choice you may make yourselves. If you wish to join, the Guiding Divine Light will eventually guide you."

The will of the Great Thousand Divine Universe presented the choice.

If you join, in the future you may, by means of the Guiding Divine Light within your body, go to that supreme power.

If you refuse, that Divine Light will dissipate, but the treasure box reward remains.

Heavenly Pride who have reached this point all possess ambition, each also bearing their own backing forces and concerns.

Among the ten, some chose without hesitation to accept the Divine Light, their eyes burning with yearning for a higher stage.

Others wore a pensive expression, seeming to have reservations, and ultimately chose to forgo it; the Guiding Divine Light within them slowly faded, leaving only the three treasure boxes.

Ziyang Shen's surrounding beams grew ever more radiant; he looked at Ye Wuque and shouted with a laugh, "Brother Ye, until we meet again in the Great Thousand Divine Universe! I look forward to standing shoulder to shoulder with you once more!"

Ye Wuque smiled and nodded, "There will surely be a day of reunion."

The light completely enveloped Ziyang Shen, transporting him away.

On the other side, Daofeitian and Kunxu, at the final moment as their silhouettes were about to vanish, both simultaneously turned their gazes toward Ye Wuque.

In Daofeitian's eyes burned fierce battle intent and anticipation, while Kunxu's gaze was complex and inscrutable, bearing a hint of awe and curiosity.

Immediately, they too vanished completely.

Ye Beichen also departed with the light, but his deep, weathered eyes seemed to look toward the supreme family of the southern realm of Boundless Heaven, his thoughts unknown.

Ye Wuque felt the warm and mysterious Guiding Divine Light within his body, as well as the three floating treasure boxes before him, and had already made his choice in his heart.

Join the Great Thousand Divine Universe!

There, there are broader realms, stronger opponents, deeper mysteries awaiting his exploration!

The teleportation beam began to envelop him, intending to carry him away from this trial ground back to the Nine Heavens Ten Lands.

He only needs to return, and then on some future day, guided by the Divine Light, he can formally step into the Great Thousand Divine Universe.

However, just as the transmission had just initiated, the light swirling, the Space-Time Power began to tug—

A sudden anomaly erupted!

Buzz!!!

Deep within Ye Wuque's mind, the vast voice of the Great Thousand Divine Universe's will thundered again.

It bore an unprecedented... solemnity and... a ripple that seemed to break some convention!

"Trial participant Ye Wuque!"

"Based on your performance throughout the Saint King trial... data assessment... potential determination..."

"After... the Supreme Divine Hall's review... meeting the special provisions of the cross‑realm trial..."

"Now granting..."

"Exceptional admission..."

"Young Supreme Trial!"

"Guiding coordinates... corrected! Transmission... commencing!"

What?!

Ye Wuque's spirit was violently shaken, nearly thinking he had misheard!

It could be operated like this?!

Having completed the Saint King trial, he was unexpectedly allowed by the Great Thousand Divine Universe's will, due to his outstanding performance, to... participate in a higher‑level Young Supreme Trial?!

To partake in two top‑tier trials simultaneously?!

This is perhaps an extremely rare occurrence in the history of the Great Thousand Divine Universe!

Just as his mind and spirit wavered, struck by this sudden change, the beam around him that was originally to transport him back to Nine Heavens Ten Earths suddenly underwent violent distortion and flickering!

In the next instant, as if an invisible massive hand forcibly intervened, altering the teleportation's trajectory and destination!

Whoosh—!

The beam tore through the Void, changed direction, carrying Ye Wuque at a speed far surpassing before, racing wildly toward an even deeper, more vast, with an aura even older and more terrifying unknown land!

After a brief stupefaction, an uncontrollable surge of ecstasy and boiling battle spirit erupted from Ye Wuque's heart like a volcano!

Young Supreme Trial!!

That is, among the many trials opened by the Great Thousand Divine Universe this time, it is universally recognized as the largest in scale, highest in grade, gathering the most demonic prodigies, with the fiercest competition, the richest opportunities, and also the most… dangerous and thrilling supreme trial!

Those who take part are none other than the truly top young demonic prodigies of Zhutian Wanjie, seeds destined to achieve the supreme pinnacle in the future!

Their strength and realms are far beyond what the Heavenly Pride in the Saint King Trial can compare to!

In fact, that place is the true stage belonging to him, Ye Wuque!

It is the ultimate battlefield that can pressure him, make his blood boil, and let him unleash his combat power to the fullest…!

"I originally had some regret for not being able to enter the Young Supreme Trial, but now… perfect!"

Ye Wuque's eyes flashed with brilliance, his battle spirit rose involuntarily around him, causing the black robe to billow.

"The Saint King Trial has ultimately become somewhat… uninteresting."

And this Young Supreme Trial will be completely different!

There, dragons clash with tigers, Heavenly Pride like clouds, every step may encounter unimaginably strong foes, and each battle will be the ultimate clash of will, divine power, and depth!

Zhutian Wanjie, endless races.

Those awe‑inspiring Heavenly Pride of supreme forces that stand atop Zhutian Huanyu, overlooking the ages and Reincarnation, and the core heirs of top factions, have almost all gathered within the Young Supreme Trial!

One can imagine how grand and spectacular that place will be!

"Young Supreme Trial…"

Ye Wuque slowly clenched his fists, his joints emitting a crisp crack, and an unprecedented wave of anticipation and passion burned in his chest.

"Ye—, I'm here!"

His gaze seemed to pierce the endless temporal‑spatial barriers, seeing the even more vast trial realm, seeing countless youthful figures whose aura pierced the heavens and whose elegance was unparalleled.

At the same time, a steadfast belief rose in his heart:

"Lao Feng…"

"In this Young Supreme Trial, you and I… will surely reunite!"

"Certainly!"

With his heart stirred and battle spirit boiling, Ye Wuque followed the forcibly redirected guiding beam, like a supreme War God rushing to the final battlefield, heading toward the ultimate trial land where the strongest young Supremes of Zhutian Wanjie converge… breaking through the Void!
