As Aotian stepped into the Light Array, he immediately noticed a dramatic change in his surroundings.
All around him was a gray haze, devoid of any discernible features; it felt as if he were in a primordial world, before the birth of heaven and earth, in a state of chaos.
Aotian scanned the area, seemingly trying to locate the so-called trial.
Suddenly, a Spatial Rift, large enough for a person to pass through, appeared out of nowhere. A woman dressed in white with white hair stepped out from within.
Aotian was taken aback, but when he clearly saw the face of the newcomer, he let out a gentle sigh of relief and respectfully said:
"Senior, may I ask where the trial you set is?"
The figure was none other than the mysterious woman who had previously claimed to be from the Ice Phoenix Clan, also known as the Guardian.
The mysterious woman curled her lips into a strange smile and did not answer Aotian's question. Instead, she asked:
"Aotian, tell me, why do you seek the Heaven Devouring Seal?"
Aotian paused slightly before responding:
"To be honest with you, Senior, I wish to obtain the Heaven Devouring Seal to accelerate my cultivation speed in order to save my mother and avenge a deep-seated grudge!"
The strange smile on the mysterious woman's face grew more pronounced as she said:
"Then Aotian, do you know what great price you will have to pay to save your mother and avenge that grudge?"
Aotian narrowed his eyes and firmly replied:
"As long as I can fulfill my wish, I am willing to pay any price and put in any effort!"
"Oh?" A hint of surprise flashed in the mysterious woman's eyes. She then said:
"Aotian, how about we make a deal?"
"What transaction?" Aotian asked with a furrowed brow.
For some reason, Aotian felt that the mysterious woman standing in front of him was very different from the one he had encountered before. This feeling came without reason, yet Aotian could genuinely sense it.
"This transaction is very simple! As long as you kneel down and bow three times, you can immediately walk out of this formation, and all the so-called tests will be waived! You will be able to see the Heaven Devouring Seal as you wish, and I will grant you my lifelong power, allowing you to achieve the realm of an emperor and easily rescue your mother! All I ask is for you to kneel down. What do you think of this deal?" The mysterious woman's tone revealed a hint of temptation.
"What?!" Aotian was startled, then frowned tightly, not immediately agreeing to the mysterious woman's offer but instead seeming to contemplate something.
"Aotian, you don't need to think about it. Just imagine, as long as you kneel down, you can achieve the highest realm that countless martial artists have pursued their entire lives, rescue your mother, and avenge your grievances. It's practically a piece of cake. Is there any deal cheaper than this in this world?" The mysterious woman continued to speak.
Aotian slowly exhaled a puff of white breath, his gaze piercing like an arrow straight into the depths of the mysterious woman's eyes as he firmly said:
"Sorry, I refuse!"
The mysterious woman narrowed her eyes slightly, her expression darkening as she said:
"Why refuse? Is it because you don't believe I have this ability?"
"No, it's not!" Aotian shook his head.
"Then what is it?"
"The conditions you offer are indeed tempting, but the power you bestow upon me ultimately belongs to you, not me. Therefore, I disdain to use it!"
"Is that all?" The mysterious woman had a faint hint of mockery in her eyes.
"No! That's just secondary!" Aotian denied.
"Then what is the main reason?" The mysterious woman continued to ask, seemingly very interested in this.
"I, Aotian, do not kneel to heaven or earth. Who do you think you are to demand that I kneel?!" Aotian exclaimed coldly.
The mysterious woman’s eyes filled with murderous intent as she said darkly:
“Aotian, you must understand that your life is now in my hands. If you do not kneel before me, I will take your life immediately, and your wishes will die with you!”
Aotian's youthful face, however, revealed a hint of defiance as he firmly replied, “I would rather die than kneel!”
The mysterious woman stared at Aotian for a long time before suddenly smiling lightly and saying, “Whether you kneel or not is not up to you!”
As she spoke, an overwhelming aura erupted from her body, shaking the very heavens and earth, and then it surged towards Aotian like a tidal wave.
“Pfft!”
Instantly, a mouthful of bright red blood spewed from Aotian's mouth.
In that moment, Aotian felt as if he were carrying a Giant Mountain on his back; the heavy pressure coursed through his body down to his knees, causing his legs to bend involuntarily, threatening to bring him to the ground.
Aotian was startled and then coldly laughed at the mysterious woman, saying, “So soft tactics don’t work; you want to go hard?”
A cold light flashed in the mysterious woman’s eyes as she extended a slender hand and pressed down fiercely on Aotian.
Immediately, Aotian felt the pressure on him double, and a mouthful of blood mixed with some internal organs splattered onto the ground.
“I want to see whether you kneel or not!” The mysterious woman’s eyes were filled with a murderous aura.
Aotian gritted his teeth, his face pale. As his knees bent slightly, he straightened up again, the defiance on his face growing even more intense.
"Crack"
At that moment, a sound of bones breaking echoed through the gray space.
Aotian lay limply on the ground, blood seeping from his feet onto his white robe, and even his vision had become blurred.
"Kneel or not kneel?!" the mysterious woman said coldly again.
Aotian forced a bitter smile and said, "If you have any other tricks, feel free to use them. If I furrow my brow, then I'm not Aotian!"
The mysterious woman Liu Mei raised an eyebrow and then struck out with her palm. Instantly, a terrifying wave of Mystical Energy surged from her body, rapidly condensing into a handprint the size of a hundred feet in front of her.
The handprint radiated a terrifying aura, causing cracks to appear in the surrounding space.
"If you won't kneel, then die!"
With a loud shout from the mysterious woman, the handprint seemed to pierce through space and directly slammed into Aotian.
Immediately, blood splattered, and a scream echoed clearly in the gray space...
This was a vast hall, surrounded by white jade stones stacked together. Each stone bore ancient and intricate patterns, exuding an air of indestructibility.
At this moment, three figures stood silently in the hall.
These three were Aoyan, Yan, and the mysterious woman from the Ice Phoenix Clan. Their gazes were tightly fixed on a copper mirror floating in the air.
The edge of the mirror was adorned with ancient and mysterious runes that emitted an aura of primordial desolation. However, some of the runes were damaged, causing the brilliance on the mirror's surface to dim.
Despite this, the scene within the mirror remained clear to the three: it was the moment when Aotian was struck by the enormous handprint in that gray space.
"Ah!"
When Aoyan saw Aotian being struck by the massive handprint, she immediately shouted in panic, her eyes filled with urgency and a hint of moisture gathering.
"Senior, is Aotian... is he okay?" Aoyan asked with a trembling voice.
The mysterious woman gently patted Aoyan's head and smiled, "Hehe, he has passed the first trial!"
"Huh?" Aoyan looked at the mysterious woman in confusion.
At that moment, Yan said, "Look at the scene in the Sky Observation Realm..."
Instantly, Aoyan's gaze was tightly fixed on the scene in the copper mirror above.
