Chapter 529: Taste of the True Thrill

The Lord of Heaven, an imposing figure radiating celestial authority, descended into the deepest space. Clad in resplendent armor that glimmered with the light of a thousand stars, he was a beacon of divine power in the vast darkness. His golden eyes, filled with an unyielding resolve, surveyed the abyss where the strongest cosmic monsters lurked.

This trial was the ultimate challenge of the training hall space prepared by the Supreme Goddess of Mysterious Origin. The advanced training where nobody had to fear dying, and he began to wonder how strong the monsters awaited in the deepest space.

As he ventured deeper, the space grew darker and more oppressive. The very fabric of space seemed to twist and writhe, a testament to the presence of ancient, malevolent beings. The silence was deafening, broken only by the distant echoes of monstrous roars. The Lord of Heaven tightened his grip on his divine staff as its ethereal glow illuminated the path ahead.

Suddenly, the distant darkness was pierced by the emergence of the first of many cosmic monstrosities. A gargantuan beast, its form shifting and amorphous, lunged from the shadows. Its countless eyes glowed with an eerie, otherworldly light, and its tentacles writhed as it moved to strike.

The Lord of Heaven was undaunted. He raised his staff, summoning forth a torrent of divine energy. With a powerful thrust, he unleashed a beam of celestial light that cut through the creature, reducing it to nothingness.

The cosmic creatures responded with fury. From all directions, more monsters appeared, each more fearsome than the last and all no lower than 16th Rank Immortal Beasts. Winged serpents with scales of iron, multi-headed abominations with fangs dripping venom, and shadowy phantoms that whispered of ancient horrors. All converged upon the Lord of Heaven. The celestial ruler stood his ground as his divine aura flared brightly in the face of overwhelming monsters.

With a commanding gesture, he called upon the full extent of his Heavenly Emperor’s power. The stars themselves seemed to respond, their light converging into his staff. With a mighty swing, he created a shockwave of pure divine energy that rippled through the abyss, obliterating any monster in its path. The celestial light illuminated the abyss, revealing the true scale of the monstrous horde.

As the battle raged on, the strongest of the cosmic monsters emerged, a colossus of unimaginable size. Its body covered in jagged, crystalline armor, towered over the Lord of Heaven. Its roar shook the very fabric of space, and its eyes burned with the fire of a thousand suns.

"Hmm..." He-Dao responded with a simple hum as the heavenly curse began to attack him. He moved his hand with a swift motion, condensing the heavenly curses in one place, temporarily sealing them in a spatial sphere.

When the strongest field boss made its move, He-Dao responded with great vigor, accepting the challenge of a direct clash.

The two titans clashed, and their battle became a spectacle of cosmic proportions. He-Dao channeled his profound divine power, his attacks precise and devastating. The colossus responded with fury, its massive limbs crashing down with earth-shattering force. The abyss trembled with their conflict, the air filled with the sounds of divine light clashing against ancient darkness.

In a final, climactic moment, He-Dao summoned the essence of the Heavenly Realm within his body. His staff, now a beacon of pure, unadulterated power, radiated with the light of creation itself. With a mighty thrust, he unleashed this energy upon the colossus, piercing through its crystalline armor and shattering its core. The monster let out a final, echoing roar before disintegrating into the void.

The deepest space fell into silence once more. The remnants of the battle faded into the darkness after he handled the heavenly curse sphere with his greater divine purification. Thanks to Elysia’s tutelage, his mastery over the divine purification took a leap and was bound to resolve the heavenly curses with ease.

He had faced the strongest cosmic monsters and emerged triumphant. With a final glance into the depths, he returned to the simulated realm.

[Score: 642.1 | Explored Depth: 6th space]

[Golden ticket obtained]

"..." He-Dao received the golden ticket, but he felt that he exerted more divine power and spiritual energy than he was supposed to be. He then realized something crucial. "We can’t use the power of heaven and earth here. The world’s energy is non-existent."

"Congratulations on clearing the 6th space. Yes, participants can’t use external energy in this simulated realm." Elysia got up from her family’s gathering and went closer to congratulate He-Dao.

The notification screen was still calculating her gain from He-Dao’s run. Also, more than forty teams were still undergoing their challenges in the training hall space, and today was truly a massive harvest!

<| Talent: 7 Stars | Heavenly(7) |>

Elysia was stunned for a moment while checking He-Dao’s status screen. The one before her was He-Dao’s true body, and his base stats were really high!

However, considering the Sovereign of Abyss from her previous encounter possessed insane base stats, the one under the name of the corrupted 3rd Heavenly Principle, He-Dao’s stats were still lower than the enemy.

<| Talent: 7 Stars | Heavenly(7) |>

Elysia checked the recorded status screen of the Sovereign of Abyss to compare it with He-Dao’s. For the future battle in the Nirvana Great War, He-Dao would engage in a fierce battle against his former kin, and it might lead to He-Dao losing the clash if she only compared them with the stats difference.

"It took me about an hour, huh..." He-Dao checked his timer and sighed. All he fought were only a few dozen 16th Rank cosmic monsters while he stood at the 18th Rank, but he suffered quite a lot in the deepest training hall space. He then looked at Elysia’s gaze, knowing she had just checked something out of him. "What do you think?"

"You took a pretty hard deal of hits. Most of the tuition fees were invested in this simulated realm. What do you think about the result? Is the training hall space good?" Elysia responded accordingly and returned the question.

"It’s more than that. Everyone can get a taste of the true thrill and terror of the corrupted monsters they have long forgotten, or maybe, the ones they never encountered before." He-Dao faintly smiled.

This kind of training was something they truly needed, and Elysia managed to bring it into reality even beyond his expectations. It was also the reason why the involved parties provided more gifts and resources than the necessary tuition fees. Everyone appreciated Elysia’s help and wished to express their sincerity for her favors.

He-Dao then thought about it. He was actually wondering about how Elysia could spawn countless cosmic creatures with various heavenly curses with just her 11th Rank divine power. However, she was someone he could never see through. The Supreme Dao of Creation was something he couldn’t even comprehend, so he received her teachings like a good student.

"I’m glad to hear that. If you want to advance to challenge the Nirvana Abyssal Demon’s replica, please recuperate first. The portal for it is still there. It won’t run away." Elysia pointed in the opposite direction from the training hall space.

"Understood. I shall try my run later." He-Dao nodded in reply and crossed his arms, watching his agents and affiliated people try their best in the training hall space.

*Poof*

Someone respawned on the revival altar. She slumped to the ground, panting for breath. Her complexion was so pale when she realized that she had already met her demise in the training hall space.

As previously announced, the simulated realm would prevent death. The dying would be revived on the revival altar, but the inflicted pain, damage, and expended energy would not be restored.

"I’m still alive... Uh, those monsters are too many." The Goddess of Spring checked her current situation via a full body scan. Although she was revived and avoided death, thanks to the Supreme Goddess, her death still caused her to lose 80% of her divine energy. She was still slightly injured as well because the revival altar wouldn’t heal her completely.

"Good work. Don’t be depressed and drink this healing potion." He-Dao tossed a potion to the injured lady.

"Thank you, my lord." The Goddess of Spring hastily caught the potion. She drank it with not the slightest doubt. After a few minutes, she gradually recovered her health and energy loss.

"Everyone is struggling. Oops, more people get revived." Elena covered her mouth when more participants died in the training hall space.

It was just less than two hours after the simulated realm officially opened, and many reckless Gods and Immortals truly tested their limits by utilizing the death nullification law in this realm, honing their abilities to achieve breakthrough without fear of death.

The simulated realm possessed a portion of Elysia’s absolute domain, and of course, Elysia’s divinity was close to real creation divinity here, the invincible one in this realm. Unless this realm got shattered, Elysia could easily manipulate everything with no exception, including controlling life and death.

"Well done, students. Please recuperate." Elysia clapped her hands once, and twenty heavenly servants came to her side. "Please distribute the recovery potion to those with grave injuries."

"At your command." The chief servant bowed respectfully, followed by the other servants to help the injured.

After all, a revival altar wouldn’t help the dying to recover, but only prevent death with a basic healing effect.
