Jackie Chan Adventures: I have everything I need now

Chapter 191 The Saintly Power Who Questions Life
"A descendant of the Ruthless Great Emperor?!"

The old man was taken aback, completely puzzled by what these people were saying.

Shouldn't those who cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art hide among the people, concealing their tracks and cultivating in secret?
How could it possibly blatantly devour the essence of a prodigy?

Everyone knows that those who cultivate the Devouring Heaven Demon Art are enemies of the entire world.

Could it be that this person is not afraid of the guards in the ancient trial city attacking him?!
While the old man was still puzzled, many human prodigies, without waiting for him to recover, hurriedly stepped into the ancient trial path to fight against their peers from other races and seek opportunities.

Only after this group of human prodigies left did the old man come to his senses.

But he still didn't understand what these people were afraid of.
However, now that this group of human prodigies has left, there's no need for this old man to dwell on this perplexing and confusing matter.

Within the ancient city of trials, one can defend oneself against attacks.

These people, as the most outstanding talents of the human race in this era, are actually afraid of someone who cultivates the Devouring Heaven Demon Art. It seems that the quality of this person is really poor.

Unlike last time, when there was that human prodigy named Ji Xukong, that being has now attained the Dao of Emperor and is fighting alongside the Supreme Being of the Forbidden Zone. It's truly enviable.

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, the old man realized a serious problem.

Not everyone is qualified to step onto the ancient trial path; they need to go through selection and assessment. But now, he has let all of these people in.

Thinking of this, the old man couldn't help but swallow.

He looks like he's in trouble!
wrong
This isn't entirely my fault.

Yes, it's not entirely my fault!

"She's gone."

Meanwhile, the god who witnessed all this spoke calmly, but his eyes revealed a hint of surprise.

Unexpectedly, he was mistaken by this group of people as the successor of the ruthless empress.

That's right. The Undying Heavenly Art devours the source, and the Nine Netherworld Treasure Technique can also devour the source.

He switched back and forth between the two methods.

However, now he should join this group of human prodigies and embark on the ancient trial path together.

A moment later, Shendu arrived at the entrance to the ancient trial road where the group of human prodigies had stepped together.

Just as he was about to step inside, the old guard reached out and stopped him.

He said calmly, "Young friend, not everyone is qualified to step onto the Ancient Trial Path. One must undergo trials and selections before entering!"

Shen Du frowned.

I thought that this statement did exist in the original work, but what does it have to do with him?
To participate in the assessment and selection process?

waste time!

With this thought in mind, he gave a slight push with his wrist, as if a vast power was surging, pushing the old man aside, and then stepped onto the ancient path of the strongest trial.

"How can this be?!"

"I am a Saint, a powerful being, yet I was pushed away by a Dao-Slaying King?!"

As the old man was shocked, he caught a glimpse of Shen Du about to enter the ancient trial path out of the corner of his eye, and quickly flashed forward to stop him.

His tone was icy as he said, "Young friend, you must participate in the selection and assessment before you can embark on the ancient path!"

Shen Du's eyes were displeased; it was a complete waste of time.

"Step aside!"

A soft whisper.

As soon as he finished speaking, his voice, like a dragon's roar, transformed into waves of sound that swept across the surrounding void, causing it to tremble as if it were about to shatter.

Seeing this, the old man's expression turned solemn. He raised his hand and threw a punch, unleashing a surge of powerful fist intent that swept out like a tidal wave.

But the moment the sound waves hit, the seemingly indestructible fist intent, like a surging wave, was shattered.

The sound wave struck, piercing the old man's chest and instantly knocking him back dozens of steps.

"puff!"

After a long pause, the old man suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and knelt on one knee. He looked up at the Divine Capital's Dao-Slaying King realm in disbelief, then at his own Saint realm strength. "How is this possible?!"

"A single move from a Dao-Slaying King can severely injure me?!"

"Is my Saintly Realm a lie?!"

He murmured softly, his expression remaining indifferent, "Get out of the way!"

The old man gritted his teeth. He had already allowed so many human prodigies who had not been tested and selected to embark on the ancient road. How could he allow yet another human prodigy who had not been tested and selected to do so? Absolutely not.

"No!" With a single refusal, Shen Du raised his hand, intending to end the old man's life in one move. Suddenly, the void tore open, and a pair of golden eyes flashed, radiating divine light that made the void tremble. A figure appeared and said, "Fellow Daoist, you may step into the ancient trial path, but I hope you will put away your weapons and refrain from causing bloodshed in the ancient city!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure emerged from the void, instantly unleashing the aura of a Great Sage, as if telling Shen Du that if he did not stop, he would fight Shen Du in the next moment.

"Who are you?"

The god withdrew his divine power and asked calmly.

He was not in a hurry to embark on the ancient trial path; instead, he was curious about the identity of the figure whose true face had not yet been revealed.

"I am the city lord of this city. All the human prodigies who come to this city should undergo assessment and selection before they can set foot on the ancient trial road."

"I never expected that there would be a human cultivator of your caliber this time."

"A Dao-Slaying King with the strength to injure a Saint-level expert in one move, do you really believe that?"

"Why come here, fellow Daoist? You're just playing dumb to fool others!"

The words of the Trial City Lord startled Shen Du.

He looked up at his forehead and saw that the shielding technique of the Nine Netherworld Treasure Technique was still intact.

Judging from this, this guy thought he was hiding his cultivation level and strength.

But that's fine, since he doesn't belong to the human race.

Shen Du stared intently at the Trial City Lord for a moment, then turned and stepped into the ancient Trial Road.

Only after Shen Du left did the figure breathe a sigh of relief, looking at the old man with a disappointed expression, and said, "Come back to the city lord's mansion with me!"

Having said that, the figure broke through the void and disappeared.

The old man, who had just survived a brush with death, was stunned.

However, he still chose to carry out the city lord's orders.

He took out a medicinal herb, treated his injuries slightly, and then walked step by step into the city.

As for the ancient trial path, he chose to temporarily close the entrance, preventing other human prodigies who had not undergone the assessment and selection process from entering.

This farce is now over.

However, the commotion it caused was by no means small.

Many of the city's strongest individuals, witnessing Shen Du's swift and decisive victory over the old guardian, couldn't help but compare themselves to him.

The conclusion was that if he were to go himself, he would probably be seriously injured in one blow.

Suddenly, many of the most powerful beings remembered what those human prodigies who had hastily entered the ancient trial path had said.

Could this guy be a descendant of the ruthless lineage?!

Such strength!

Easily crush even saints and great powers!

They dared to expose their cultivation of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

In matters of the heart, strength is enough to crush everything.

As they pondered this, many of the most powerful individuals couldn't help but feel sorrow for the contemporary prodigies on the ancient trial path.

Cultivating the Devouring Heaven Demon Art allows one to devour the source and nourish oneself.

Hopeless!
These prodigies are beyond saving!
If we pray, we hope that, besides him, other prodigies will be able to return to the ancient city!
