"24 hours of rest time and unlimited time to defeat 100,000 magical beasts..." Yuan pondered with a frown on his face. Since he can pause the challenge whenever he wants, it wouldn’t affect his time in the real world unlike the Tablet of Comprehension. However, it will still take a very long time for him to kill 100,000 magical beasts, perhaps even days.
"What do I get for completing this challenge? Since you changed the original trial, I should get something in return, right?" Yuan asked the Great One.
"If you manage to pass this trial of mine, I shall grant you the key to the treasure room in the Dragon Temple. Since you have the Seal of Approval, I’m sure you intend on going to the Dragon Temple anyway in the future to try and obtain my Legacy. Inside the treasure room, you’ll find a few things that I’d left behind before I ascended from this world and traveled to the upper heavens, and while there may not be much inside, each treasure will surely assist you in your cultivation path immensely."
"A dragon’s treasures, huh?" Yuan nodded, as he cannot help but be curious about what a Dragon would consider as treasures.
"Then... I shall begin whenever you are ready."
Yuan took a few deep breaths before speaking in a resolute voice, "I am ready!"
"Very well..."
«The Great One’s Challenge will begin shortly»
«0:10»
«0:9»
«0:8»
«0:7»
Yuan swallowed nervously as the seconds counted down.
Once the timer reached zero, Yuan suddenly felt the ground shaking a little bit.
"Huh?" Yuan’s eyes widened with shock when he saw a black line suddenly appearing at the horizon, and this black line gradually grew larger and larger, and the earth shook harder and harder in response.
Very quickly, the black line transformed into a black sea, and Yuan could see a wave of magical beasts charging towards him like an army of ants at war.
’Holy... this is... this is much scarier than I’d thought!’ Yuan cried inwardly, and his entire body trembled while all of his hair stood up like a porcupine when it’s threatened.
’This is too much! They will definitely flatten me before I can even do anything!’
"Don’t worry, Young Master. As long as you use the movement technique, it won’t matter how many enemies there are— you’ll be able to avoid them all flawlessly." Feng Yixiao’s voice resounded in Yuan’s head.

’Oh, right! I nearly forgot about that!’ Yuan thought to himself.
Xiao Hua’s voice resounded next, "Brother Yuan, don’t forget about the Heavenly Domain. You can use it to suppress the magical beasts’ movements, which will make it easier for you to dodge their attacks and slay them!"
Yuan nodded, and he was no longer fearful of the sea of magical beasts swarming towards him.
’Hmmm... This kid... I can see why the other me gave him the Seal of Approval. You don’t see this type of talent often even in the upper heavens...’ The Great One thought to itself as it watched Yuan adjust to the atmosphere and emit a powerful aura that did not was not befitting of someone at the Spirit Warrior realm, as his aura was stronger than even most Cultivators who’d just reached Spirit Master!
"Brother Yuan, you can also use Heaven Splitting Sword Strike. Although it’ll consume a lot of your spiritual energy, it’ll be worth it since there are so many magical beasts bundled up together.
"Thank you for the advice, Xiao Hua!"
Yuan suddenly straightened his back and held the Empyrean Overlord like a knight before raising it high into the sky.
After charging the Empyrean Overlord with a portion of his spiritual energy, the Empyrean Overlord began emitting a bright golden light that was almost too blinding to look at.
"Hmm? What kind of technique is that? This aura... Could it be a Divine-rank martial technique?" The Great One was surprised to see someone as young as Yuan learn a Divine-rank technique and even reached such mastery with it.
Of course, if the Great One had known about what happened at the Tablet of Comprehension, it wouldn’t care about a measly Divine-rank technique.
"Heaven Splitting Sword Strike!"
Yuan swung the Empyrean Overlord horizontally, sending a massive beam of light towards the army of magical beasts.
BOOOOOM!
The entire world shook as the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike disintegrated thousands of magical beasts in a single strike!
«You have slain 4,420 magical beast»
«95,580 remaining»
"Heavens!" The Great One exclaimed in a shocked voice when it saw the raw destructive power of the Yuan’s Divine-rank technique. "Is that really a Divine-rank technique? To display such powers when he’s only a Spirit Warrior, this must be one of the strongest Divine-rank techniques out there!"
However, despite killing over 4,000 magical beasts in a single strike, the black sea did not seem to have diminished even slightly, and they continued to charge at Yuan.

"Heaven Splitting Sword Strike!"
Yuan decided to use the technique again to lower the numbers again.
«You have slain 5,110 magical beast»
«90,470 remaining»
And again...
"Heaven Splitting Sword Strike!"
«You have slain 4,975 magical beast»
«85,495 remaining»
Yuan continued to use Heaven Splitting Sword Strike until a dozen times later when his spiritual energy lowered by half.

In just a few minutes, Yuan had managed to cut the number of monsters he needed to hunt in the trial by half.
’This human is a monster! Why does he have so much spiritual energy?! If it were any ordinary Spirit Warrior at his level, they would only be able to use such a powerful skill once or twice, yet this human managed to release over a dozen of them! It seems like I have underestimated him still! If I’d known about his power, I would’ve made him kill 1,000,000 magical beasts instead of 100,000 which is looking incredibly easy for him right now!’ The Great One cried inwardly, but alas, even it could not stop the trial once it began.
