Chapter 428 - 428 The fourth test's rules

The moment that his right hand touched the golden door, Shun Long could sense the familiar feeling of spatial fluctuations instantly covering his body, before the scene in front of his eyes started to blur.

At the same time, he could sense his surroundings that were rapidly changing, while different scenes flashed through his eyes one after the other.

Finally, an hour later, Shun Long could see the segregated colors around him as they started to come together, forming a completely unfamiliar place.

It was a large arena filled with empty seats, that seemed spacious enough to hold hundreds of thousands of people at the same time.

As Shun Long took a look around him, he instantly realized that he was no longer in the world of 'one-thousand cities'.

At the same time, he saw hundreds of other disciples around him dressed in all kinds of different clothing, all of them staring at their surroundings with eyes that didn't hide their confusion, clearly having no idea what this place was.

And yet, barely a moment had passed since Shun Long had appeared in this place, when the same powerful voice that he had heard back during the start of the third test suddenly resounded throughout the entire arena, like a bolt of lightning that was coming down from the sky, as it once again said in that same, domineering tone as before

''Welcome to the fourth test of my Holy sect, the entrance battle!''

As this booming voice resounded throughout the arena, everyone suddenly raised their heads to stare at the sky above the arena at the same time.

Turning his eyes towards the sky, Shun Long saw an old man in white robes standing above the arena, staring at Shun Long and the rest of the disciples around him with a calm smile on his face.

With just a glance, Shun Long's eyes instantly took in the old man's appearance.

He was thin and tall, with a long white beard and almost no hair on his head.

At the same time, from the smile that was hanging on his lips, anyone could guess that he was the person who had spoken just now.

However, everyone shook when they noticed the old man's aura.

Unlike his domineering voice, the old man's aura was completely retracted, making him look like an ordinary, harmless mortal.

And yet, this scene was actually even more terrifying to the disciples inside the arena, than if the old man had been openly displaying his strength. After all, to be able to stand in the sky without emitting the slightest bit of qi fluctuations, showed how terrifying this person really was.

''A Dao Emperor realm expert!''

This thought flashed through every disciple's mind practically at the same time, causing waves of shock to rise in their hearts.

This was especially true for those disciples who didn't come from a powerful force in their own continents and didn't know the true strength of the Holy sect. Seeing a Dao Emperor realm expert standing in front of them with a smile on his face caused them to tremble while some of them involuntarily lowered their heads, not daring to meet his gaze head-on.

At the same time, although Shun Long had already guessed long ago that a Dao Emperor realm expert was most likely presiding over the Holy sect's test, he hadn't expected that he would meet one today.

After all, in the last 3 years that he and Liu Mei had spent in the Night star continent, Shun Long hadn't even seen a single Dao Emperor realm cultivator!

He had only heard rumors that in the past, there were a couple Dao Emperor realm experts in the Night star continent, but they eventually left for the central continent and never came back.

After staring at the old man for a moment, Shun Long turned his gaze to the people following behind him.

This old man's aura caused another wave of shock to rise in Shun Long's heart.

Although this person wasn't at the Dao Emperor realm, his aura was definitely similar to Duan Zhu's from the 'Demon Emperor Palace', at the peak of the Dao King realm!

No, it was actually slightly stronger than Duan Zhu's!

Shun Long stared at this peak rank 9 Dao King realm expert for a few moments with a serious look in his eyes, before he turned his attention towards the young men and women who were standing in the sky behind him.

Most of those young men and women had arrogant looks on their faces, almost as if they were looking down on Shun Long and the rest of the disciples around him.

At the same time, these people were dressed in yellow robes, with the word 'Holy' engraved on the front part of their robes, near their c.h.e.s.ts, while the word 'Sect' was engraved on the back of their robes.

These were definitely disciples of the Holy sect.

At that moment, Shun Long's eyes suddenly narrowed when he realized how many of those disciples were present here.

There were precisely 1000 of them!

Before anyone could ask any questions however, the old man that was leading the Holy sect's group smiled before he continued speaking

''This is the fourth and final test of my Holy sect, the entrance battle!

The rules of this test are actually very simple, and yet... this can also be considered the most difficult test for you!

All you have to do is fight against an outer disciple of my Holy sect and defeat them.

Those of you who manage to pass this test and defeat your opponents will be able to join my Holy sect and become official outer disciples.

As for those of you who fail... you can only blame yourselves!''

As the old man finished his words, looks that were filled with both shock and disbelief immediately appeared on the faces of the disciples inside the arena, as they all turned their gazes towards the 1000 young men and women in the sky behind the old man.

The disciples of the Holy sect however weren't fl.u.s.tered in the slightest, obviously having already expected this, as they stared back at the disciples inside the arena with condescending looks in their eyes.
