Novel Bin Chapter 88: Fortunate Indeed
The impact of the beast\'s landing sent shockwaves rippling through the earth, causing the ground to tremble.
Dust and debris filled the air, obscuring the view of the surrounding area. As the dust settled, a massive creature emerged from the wreckage, its imposing height
The beast had thick, scaly skin that shimmered in the fire, and its eyes glowed with an otherworldly intensity.
It had sharp, jagged horns protruding from its head, and its muscular limbs ended in razor-sharp claws. The ground shook with each step it took, indicating its immense size.
"GHAAAA!!"
The beast looked at its prey, who suddenly dared to attack him.
How dare these two humans have the audacity to harm him, especially the human man who wielded the sword and exuded a terrifying aura.
The beast was utterly disbelieved and filled with outrage as this human dared to inflict harm upon himself.
The beast seethed with pure anger, consumed by an overwhelming desire to pounce and tear the human bastard into hundreds of pieces. However, it possessed the wisdom to refrain from hasty action, recognizing the formidable strength possessed by the man standing before it.
As the man brandished his sword and unleashed a terrifying Aura, it was clear that he was prepared to end the beast\'s life.
"GHAHHH!!"
The beast, sensing the man\'s intent, let out a fierce roar, its eyes blazing with defiance. Its massive form, covered in thick scales and jagged spikes, towered over the man.
The man tightened his grip on his sword, its gleaming blade reflecting the beast\'s body. His eyes locked on the beast\'s.
"Humph." The man raised his eyebrows and let out a disgruntled grunt. His piercing gaze mocking the beast that was on the ground.
BAM
The beast lunged forward with a ferocious growl, its massive jaws opening wide. Its eyes glowed with an intense, primal hatred as it zeroed in on its prey. The air crackled with tension.
\'Heavenly Lightning Steps, First Step\'
With lightning-fast movement, the man dispersed from the beast\'s path, leaving it to crash into the ground with a deafening thud.
The man reappeared behind the beast, his hand already gripping his sword. With one swift motion, he plunged the blade into the beast\'s neck, ending its life.
The man stood there, victorious, as the tension in the air dissipated. With one move of his hand, the beast\'s corpse dissipated inside his storage ring.
"Those are the five beasts we have encountered since entering this zone," Chen Tian pondered, as he carefully put his sword back into his storage ring.
"Are you okay?" Su Bingxin came up to him, concern etched on her face.
"Um, don\'t worry, I am completely fine." Chen Tian nodded, reassuring her.
"Let\'s continue. I think we are nearing the location I had meant to visit."
As they pressed onward, venturing deeper into the zone, a noticeable change took hold of their surroundings.
The air thickened, enveloping them in an oppressive embrace, making each breath feel burdensome. Simultaneously, the ambient temperature began to steadily rise, gradually transforming the environment into an increasingly sweltering ordeal.
For a fleeting moment, the temperature of the air swiftly transitioned from hot to cold and then back to hot again. It felt as though they were strolling through a series of distinct weather patterns, each manifesting in rapid succession.
Chen Tian couldn\'t help but feel a sense of unease. However, he kept his composure and pressed on, determined to reach their destination.
Su Bingxin followed closely behind, her eyes darting around nervously. Despite the strange occurrences, they eventually arrived at the place Chen Tian had been searching for.
"Wow!" Su Bingxin exclaimed in awe as she and Chen Tian finally arrived at the place they had been searching for. Her eyes widened as she took in the sight before them.
Standing tall and imposing, the building they beheld was a mesmerizing blend of fire and ice elements. It seemed as though two opposing forces had collided and merged, creating a captivating structure that defied conventional design.
Half of the building was enveloped in flickering flames, radiating a warm and vibrant energy, while the other half glistened with a glacial beauty, emanating an icy chill that sent shivers down their spines.
The fiery section of the building pulsated with an intense heat, its walls adorned with intricate patterns resembling dancing flames.
On the opposite side, the ice-infused portion of the building gleamed with crystalline purity. Its surface reflected the ambient light, creating a dazzling display of frost-covered motifs.
As Su Bingxin and Chen Tian approached the building, they could feel a subtle energy radiating from it—a harmonious blend of fire and ice.
It was as if the building itself embodied the principles of balance and harmony.
"I can feel my dantian reacting more strongly than usual in the presence of this building," Chen Tian thought to himself, his gaze fixed upon the magnificent structure that stood before him.
He turned to Su Bingxin and said, "Let\'s go inside and see what secrets this building holds." Together, they stepped forward.
The door of the building wasn\'t locked, and it swung open easily, revealing a spacious interior.
The air inside was cool and crisp, and the walls were adorned with intricate diamond like sculptures.
As they walked deeper into the building, they could feel the energy growing stronger, and Chen Tian\'s dantian pulsed with excitement.
He could feel he was getting closer to what he was searching for.
As they walked further inside, they found a door that had something written on it. Su Bingxin couldn\'t understand the language, but Chen Tian was familiar with it, especially when it came to something he had dedicated all his life to studying this language.
\'Ancient Language\'
The inscription on the door read: (Tiān yùn zhī mén), which could be translated as "Gate of Heavenly Harmony."
\'Trial of Fire and Ice\' Chen Tian\'s heart raced as he read the inscription.
"An ancient trial in a place like this!" Chen Tian couldn\'t believe his luck. He had stumbled upon an ancient trial!
The words etched on the door seemed to pulsate with an otherworldly energy.
One should know that even in the Immortal realm, everything related to the ancient era was considered highly valuable and sought after.
Chen Tian knew that this trial would be no exception.
\'For an ancient trial to appear in the mortal Realm is an event that will capture the attention of both mortals and immortals alike."
Chen Tian was sure that if the Immortal in the Immortal Realm knew about such a place, they would have done everything they could to come here.
An ancient trial meant that there was a chance to gain incredible power and knowledge of the ancient era that dissipated with time.
There was a time when an ancient trial appeared in the Immortal Realm, and many immortals fought for the opportunity to enter the trial and gain its rewards.
At the end, one normal cultivator got hold of the trial inheritance, and after that day, that cultivator became one of the most powerful and respected figures in the Immortal Realm.
Chen Tian knew that he couldn\'t let this opportunity slip away.
"Do you know what it means?" Su Bingxin asked, her eyes wide with excitement.
It was the first time she had been in such a place.
Chen Tian shook his head. "No, not entirely, but if my guess is correct, I think it\'s some kind of trial."
"Trial?"
"Yes," he nodded, his eyes fixed on the door ahead of him.
"Do you want to enter and find out more? Su Bingxin asked eagerly.
"Yes, but it may become more dangerous from here on out." Chen Tian replied, his expression serious. "We need to be cautious and prepared for anything."
Chen Tian was concerned about the potential risks of entering the door, yet he remained resolute in his decision to proceed with caution. Even for someone as him, venturing into an ancient trial held no guarantee of complete safety.
He took a deep breath and prepared himself for what lay ahead.
"Let enter"
"Um." Su Bingxin nodded.
Both of them approached the door. The moment both of them put their hands on the door, the writing on the door shone with an ethereal glow.
"WOSHH"
As the writing on the door shimmered with an ethereal glow, a surge of energy pulsed through both of them. Before they could react, a powerful force engulfed them, transporting them to a different place.
When the light subsided, they found themselves in a lavishly decorated room. The walls were adorned with intricate artwork depicting mythical creatures and vibrant landscapes.
Soft, golden light emanated from ornate chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling, casting a warm glow throughout the space.
As Chen Tian took in the surroundings, he noticed a group of people in the room.
\'There were already people before us!?\' Chen Tian was taken aback and filled with curiosity as he discovered the presence of other individuals already occupying the room.
\'Immortal Sword Sect?\'
Upon observing the attire adorned by these individuals, Chen Tian swiftly deduced that they were disciples of the Immortal Sword Sect.
As he observed the surroundings, a sudden surge of instinct jolted through him, alerting him to an impending threat emanating from behind.
Acting swiftly, without pausing for contemplation, he rotated sharply, honed his reflexes, and balled his hand into a tight fist. With a burst of power, he threw a powerful punch towards the assailant, who had attacked out of nowhere.
BANG
Two fists collided as Chen Tian took a step back. The force of the impact reverberated through the air, creating a momentary pause in the intense confrontation.
As for the person who attacked, he staggered backward, forced to retreat a staggering ten steps.
His eyes widened in astonishment, clearly taken aback by Chen Tian\'s ability to successfully block his powerful punch. The unexpected turn of events had caught him off guard, leaving him visibly surprised.
Chen Tian was taken aback as he laid eyes on the other person\'s face, and a smile slowly spread across his own face.
"Fortunate indeed,"
\'Hello, Bicth, we met again.\'
