Chapter 98: The Final Trial

As the monster formed from countless vengeful spirits struggled fiercely with Ye Shiyuan, it suddenly split into two parts...

One part charged at Ye Shiyuan’s Heavenly Sin Divine Sword and was utterly shattered reduced to pieces.

The other part quickly bypassed Ye Shiyuan and shot straight toward Bai He.

Its half strength alone couldn’t withstand the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword.

But before Ye Shiyuan could react, it was already too late.

"Master!" he shouted in alarm, hoping Bai He would move, but Bai He stood his ground unmoving.

At that moment, Bai He raised his hands that was coated with the strange gloves.

He directly grabbed the monster and gripping what looked like its neck.

Ye Shiyuan’s heart leapt into his throat, fear coursing through him that Bai He might get hurt.

But Bai He simply held on and in an instant, the massive monster lost all ability to move.

It was then that Ye Shiyuan reacted.

With a swing of the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword, he instantly shattered the vengeful spirit cluster.

At the same time, Bai He vanished from in front of Ye Shiyuan.

Ye Shiyuan paused briefly, then recalled Bai He’s words about waiting for him in the next stage.

After he collecting his composure, he set the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword down.

His master would be fine, no doubt about it.

Bai He returned instantly.

At this moment, Xu Feng had not yet finished training, which showing that not much time had passed.

Bai He exhaled a long breath and collapsed to the ground, the lingering terror making his small face crease in fear.

"Ugh..."

"Host, you’re not about to cry, are you?"

"You said I wouldn’t feel afraid, didn’t you?"

"Host, the effect of the pill has worn off. Of course, you feel fear now, but the danger has passed."

The danger had indeed passed, but...

While covering his eyes with his hands, Bai He murmured, "Just thinking about that monster makes me terrified and nauseous... so disgusting..."

"Host, compared to that, shouldn’t you check on the male protagonist’s condition now?"

After Ye Shiyuan had driven away all the vengeful spirits, Mo Zhu automatically returned Bai He to safety.

If he had been discovered, all their efforts would have been wasted.

Bai He lifted his head and gathering his composure. "You’re right. Let’s go see him."

"All right, Host."

...

After emerging from the vengeful spirit’s domain, Ye Shiyuan heard a familiar voice.

"Congratulations, you have successfully passed this trial."

Ye Shiyuan’s expression remained calm, showing little sign of joy. "What is this?"

"The Vengeful Spirit Realm houses countless spirits. You must rely on your strong will to pass this trial. If your mind falters or you feel fear, you fail immediately. It is remarkable that you passed so quickly."

Ye Shiyuan thought of Bai He.

Without him, he would likely have already been possessed by the spirits and replaced entirely.

It was Bai He who had solidified the wavering strength of his will.

"I thought that with your current abilities, passing all the trials would be nearly impossible. But... the Dawnmaker Divine Sword truly does not choose its master lightly. The final trial now begins..."

The environment around Ye Shiyuan shifted instantly.

This time, it was completely different from before.

Floating in front of him was a single sword that was exuding majestic authority.

Behind the sword, a humanoid sword spirit appeared.

It’s a dark figure with it eyes closed and radiating immense dignity and power.

"What is this?"

"This is the Dawnmaker Divine Sword. Try to pull it out."

Ye Shiyuan hesitated for a moment, then he stepped forward and reached out his hand to grip the hilt of the sword!

However, reality proved that it was far from that simple.

The Dawnmaker Divine Sword did not budge an inch.

Ye Shiyuan tried channeling his spiritual power and gathering it into his hands in an attempt to pull the sword out, but it was completely ineffective.

Just then, the sword spirit of the Dawnmaker Divine Sword opened its eyes and charged toward Ye Shiyuan.

He had no choice but to release his grip and quickly dodge out of the way.

The Dawnmaker Sword Spirit paused, then the voice of the entity spoke again.

"This is the final trial, pulling out the Dawnmaker Divine Sword."

"Is it related to this sword spirit?" Ye Shiyuan asked.

"You’re very perceptive. It is closely related to the sword spirit! You need to defeat it, but this is only the first step! I am giving you one month to defeat it and raise your cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage. Remember, only at the Nascent Soul stage will you have the strength to lift the Dawnmaker Divine Sword."

With Ye Shiyuan’s current abilities, reaching the Nascent Soul stage within a month was far from easy.

"Remember, only one month! You are the master chosen by the Dawnmaker Divine Sword and you possess extraordinary talent. You must succeed."

With that, the voice then vanished.

"Must succeed?" Ye Shiyuan’s memory stirred, these words seemed familiar.

He remembered that Bai He had said the same thing: that he could do it.

As the voice disappeared, the Dawnmaker Sword Spirit quickly returned to its original position and still standing before the Dawnmaker Divine Sword with its eyes tightly closed.

Ye Shiyuan furrowed his brow.

He actually didn’t need the Dawnmaker Divine Sword very badly; the Heavenly Sin Divine Sword in his hand was not inferior in power.

...

"Host, it’s about time. That person has left. He will only return when Ye Shiyuan completes or fails the trial. Let’s go to him."

Bai He turned to glance at Xu Feng who was still training.

This journey would likely take some time should he tell Xu Feng?

But since he was in the middle of cultivation, it was better not to disturb him.

After a moment’s hesitation, Bai He nodded. "Let’s go."

"All right, Host, prepare yourself!"

In an instant, Bai He appeared in front of Ye Shiyuan, his voice clear and crisp: "Shiyuan, I’m here."
