Chapter 3190 - Envy From the Whole Universe
Tianming released the decapath era godswords in the form of the Myriadsword Providence swords. A sea of millions of swords soared around him, all pointing at the imprisoned idol.
Then they all fired at it. His lifesbane order controlled these swords, and the black and white order within his brain lit up the dark world, illuminating heaven and earth with a grand aura.
"It’s the prisoner of the universe, trapped within heaven and earth. Emotions are naturally born from that state, which is its order...." Tianming could feel its sense of despair.
The imprisoned idol was constructed from that kind of will. The imprisoned idol began changing when Tianming used the lifesbane order as his power. It now looked at Tianming with new eyes, as if seeing him as a favored one.
As it became gentler, even Suishen Zhao suddenly felt that the imprisoned idol was much easier to deal with.
The power of the lifesbane order was the way to conquer it! Tianming could more easily penetrate the body of the imprisoned idol with the Grand-Orient Sword. However, its body was too vast, so it still took a long time to deal with even the weakened version of the imprisoned idol. He didn't bother counting how long it took.
"It shouldn't have taken longer than the eternity idol!" It meant that he had made significant progress in the fourth trial compared to the second, because the fourth was definitely more time-consuming than the second.
Finally, the imprisoned idol shattered under Tianming's decapath era godswords. It meant they were about to clear the trial. He was very excited to find out their ranking this time; previously, he had fallen fifteen places in the second trial. But what about now?
Just as Tianming was pondering it, he saw a hand in the fragments of the shattered imprisoned idol. The hand was snow-white, slender, and soft. It reached out to him as if it wanted to grasp him, or perhaps guide him forward.
He subconsciously wanted to reach out to hold that hand. But unfortunately, he was still a step too late and the hand vanished along with the imprisoned idol, disappearing before his eyes.
When the scene before him began to change, Tianming felt a sense of loss. Why do I feel so sad for not catching that hand?
He couldn't figure out where the emotion had come from. I wonder if I'll encounter it again in the next trials?
As for Suishen Zhao, he was extremely excited. He obviously hadn’t seen the hand that was so close. Although he hadn’t experienced any growth in his order, like Tianming had, clearing four trials in a row meant he was one step closer to the top ten rewards of the Prehistoric Path. If he could get the rewards, it would be incredibly crucial for Suishen Zhao who was just over 120 years old.
Others at his age wouldn't have a chance to receive such a reward. If he could get it, he might significantly pull ahead.
The fourth trial was actually quite late in the game.
The dark starry sky dissipated, and the two returned to the Prehistoric Path.
The first thing Tianming saw was that someone was ahead of them. But that was normal, as Suishen Yao and the others would undoubtedly be faster than Tianming and Suishen Zhao in the fourth trial.
What made him and Suishen Zhao grateful was that there weren’t many people who had cleared the trial. They even wanted to cheer, as there were only about six groups. It meant their first place ranking could at most fall to seventh.
Tianming and Suishen Zhao quickly turned around and checked, and were astonished to find that, after they had cleared the trial, they were still ranked third!
Qitian Ji’s team had surpassed Suishen Yao’s group again, reclaiming the first place.
While the teams above Suishen Yao’s kept changing, her team itself remained firmly in second place.
Tianming and Suishen Zhao were now third, while Yumo Xue was fourth!
“Are you kidding? The fourth trial was supposed to be a combat test, right? I thought they wouldn't be able to clear it? But they came out seventh?”
Many people were dumbfounded on the spot. The ‘talent team’ had somehow come out of the trial together with the foundationeers. Honestly, that level of surprise was almost comparable to the fifteen breaths record in the previous trial.
“This is crazy! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would’ve thought there was a problem with the Prehistoric Path.”
“Two kids with a combined age of only two hundred ranking above Yumo Xue after the fourth trial? They might really make it to the top ten in the end!” Myriadpath Valley was significantly shaken.
Suishen Zhao very excitedly brought Tianming to his sister.
“How’d you manage it?” Suishen Yao asked, wide-eyed.
“Tianming said since there was a talent aspect, we should look for the imprisoned idol’s weaknesses and seek resonance. He found it and the imprisoned idol became much easier to deal with...” Suishen Zhao excitedly said.
“That worked?” The two sisters were speechless. They had put in a lot of effort to directly fight through.
“If you don’t have the right kind of order, it wouldn't,” Tianming said.
“You’re kind of freaky, eh?” Suishen Yao reached out, pinching his face hard while gritting her teeth.
“Only third, not as good as Little Master. You guys are still amazing,” Tianming humbly said.
“Yaoyao!” Suishen Shuang, suddenly excited, looked at Suishen Zhao and then at Suishen Yao. “They’re third now! The fifth idol will test talent again. They’ll surely pass, and they might even be first again! According to the seniors' estimates, only ten groups from the Fortuna Path will pass the fifth trial. As for the sixth trial, probably only three groups! What does that imply?”
Suishen Zhao was enlightened and his eyes lit up. “I get it! As long as Brother Tianming and I pass the fifth trial, even if we can't pass the sixth, our final ranking on the Fortuna Path might be fourth!”
“That seems right.” Tianming had already thought of that. He felt no great pressure for the fifth trial talent test. However, the sixth trial would be a combat test, which wasn’t their strength.
The seniors estimated that only three teams could pass, and there would likely be little deviation from that!
The reason for such optimism was their outstanding performance in the fourth trial, the imprisoned idol. If they had fallen out of the top ten there, it would be tough to move up the ranks in the fifth trial. But now they were in third place.
“With your dominance in the first, third, and fifth idols, as long as you don’t fall behind in the second and fourth, you’ll definitely be in the top ten. And with how well you performed in the fourth trial, your ranking is very stable.” Suishen Shuang’s beautiful eyes glowed with silver light.
“They should stably sit in fourth place at least?” Suishen Yao was stunned for a long time, then she reacted, suddenly grabbing Suishen Zhao’s collar and angrily saying, “Doesn’t that mean five times the fourth-place reward? That’s more than the first place!”
“Right!” Suishen Shuang was sincerely happy for Suishen Zhao.
Suishen Zhao, who was being choked and gasping for breath, excitedly pointed at Tianming, saying, “Sis, go choke your disciple, he’ll get ten times the reward....”
Suishen Yao was dumbfounded.
At that moment, millions of people in Myriadpath Valley were gradually understanding the key points.
“Better rewards than first place?” For a moment, the whole valley was envious.
