James had never been afraid of challenging different trials.
He was not interested in the position of the Head of Tempris. In fact, his main goal was to obtain the Verde Academy’s sacred
scroll. He was curious to find out what exactly was recorded in it.
Wael had even mentioned every district had a sacred scroll.
James had a feeling the sacred scrolls contained some kind of shocking secret.
After entering the portal, a beautiful mountain scenery appeared before him. At the same time, he sensed the existence of many
living beings.
James quickly descended from the sky and appeared outside a city.
The vast city had walls that towered millions of meters into the sky. A massive crowd of living beings could be seen passing
through the city gate.
James stood outside the city and murmured, “So this is this the first trial’s illusionary venue? Is it a projection of a particular era
from the past, just like the Path of Heavenly Awakening?
After entering the illusion, he could sense a Heavenly Path and abundant Empyrean Spiritual Energy. He could even feel
countless living beings throughout the area. Everything in front of him seemed so realistic and did not seem like an illusion.
James suspected the Supreme Illusions were similar to the Path of Heavenly Awakening and they were a projection of a specific
era in history. It was the only possible explanation for why challengers faced a different trial and experience.
However, the Path of Heavenly Awakening had task reminders and notifications upon entering the illusion.
As for the Supreme Illusion’s first trial, James was immediately sent into the illusion without any hints.
He joined the crowd and entered the city. However, he immediately noticed something was off.
A vast formation quickly surrounded the city, and dark clouds covered the sky. Immediately afterward, a corrupted force
permeated the air.
The city had countless living beings that varied from weak to powerful. However, everyone seemed terrified by the appearance of
the black clouds.
“Welcome to the Supreme Illusion’s first trial.”
A voice resounded in the city, but its owner could not be located.
“An Extraterrestrial Demon has appeared outside the city. Please defeat the Extraterrestrial Demon and protect the city as well
as the living beings within it. If half of the city’s population dies, you’ll fail the trial.”
James frowned after hearing the rules. He attempted to find the voice’s owner but could not detect any unusual being around
him.
“I need to protect the city by defeating the Extraterrestrial Demon?”
James leaped onto the city wall.
At that moment, a large number of soldiers also appeared around him. They wore black armor and held onto long spears. All of
them had tense expressions, and their fear was evident.
“Alert!”
Sirens blared throughout the city.
James looked into the distance.
A group of monsters could be vaguely seen inside the dark clouds.
At the same time, an army of monsters was also charging at the city on foot. The monsters had bizarre appearances and claws
on their hind legs, allowing them to instantly leap a distance of several light-years.
The city had countless spiritual mountains and was about one hundred thousand lightyears in size.
A formation had surrounded the city, blocking out the densely packed monsters.
