Everyone Is A Lord: My Talent Is A Little Too Strong Chapter 2983 1630: Joining and Completing the Trial (2)

Clearing her throat, she then put on a facade of composure and declared, "Though your journey here was arduous, as a divine creation, I shall not hold back. Are you prepared? The trial officially commences now!"

With that statement, the unfamiliar Stone Spirit flipped her hand, summoning a massive battle axe that radiated an intense chill, her aura immediately escalating.

Witnessing this, all our formidable allies did not dare to be careless, readily adopting defensive postures.

It is widely acknowledged that the Divine Stone's trial presents extreme challenges, undeniably posing a test of life and death for ordinary champions.

In the past, even reconnaissance teams dispatched by paramount forces, standing at the pinnacle of the Ten Thousand Clans, frequently retreated in defeat, only achieving success after numerous attempts, a testament to its formidable difficulty.

Observing Leo Ray and his team adopt serious stances, even Anna assumed a combat posture, while large beads of perspiration began to form on the unfamiliar Stone Spirit's brow.

Was this her role to conduct a trial, or rather, was this the beginning of a pummeling?

Despite her apprehension, the unfamiliar Stone Spirit took a deep, steadying breath, then conjured a violent gust of wind directed towards Leo Ray's contingent.

Judging from her armor and the imposing figures visible through the Gate, it was evident she was a might-driven Stone Spirit possessing monstrous strength. Furthermore, recalling her earlier feat of nullifying the Magic Restriction within the Forbidden Land, she clearly wielded considerable magical capability, making her a significant opponent solely by her presence.

Just as Leo Ray's entire team was fully attentive and preparing for action, an unanticipated event unfolded.

The unfamiliar Stone Spirit, exuding an overwhelming presence, advanced a few meters before stumbling over an unseen rock, toppling over and inadvertently releasing her battle axe.

"Heh, it appears this lady has been defeated; you truly are extraordinary."

The unfamiliar Stone Spirit chuckled sheepishly as she rose from the ground, clearing her throat once more before stating with mock seriousness, "Congratulations, Your Majesty of the Humans, you have successfully passed my trial! Henceforth, I pledge my fealty to the monarch!"

"..."

A profound silence descended upon the onlookers, and even Sheila and other members of the Stone Spirit race widened their eyes, too stunned to react promptly.

My goodness, was this trial conducted so haphazardly? Or more accurately, wasn't this akin to handing victory over freely?

"Tsk, observing from the sidelines is quite effortless. I could certainly endure another round of combat, but what if Your Majesty of the Humans were to sustain injuries?"

Evidently aware of her kin's unspoken sentiments, the unfamiliar Stone Spirit maintained an air of self-righteousness.

"If that is the case, I shall humbly accept."

Leo Ray, perceptive enough to sense the telepathic exchanges among the Stone Spirits, offered a wry smile.

"Hehe, this lady is eager to finalize the contract with the monarch!"

A flush of anticipation spread across the unfamiliar Stone Spirit's dusky visage as she reverted to her Divine Stone form, a flawlessly clear, dark purple gemstone emanating a brilliant luminescence.

In the subsequent moment, this newly formed Divine Stone settled into Leo Ray's grasp.

Upon contact with the stone, Leo Ray experienced a radiant, incandescent golden light surge forth, enveloping both himself and the Divine Stone.

This was a sensation Leo Ray recognized instantly, signaling the commencement of a contractual bond.

"I wonder if I shall witness something different this time?"

As Leo Ray pondered this internally, the dazzling golden light before him abruptly dissipated, unveiling a scene bordering on apocalyptic devastation.

Leo Ray found himself standing amidst unfamiliar ruins, encircled by charred remains and blighted earth, with incessant cries and lamentations echoing around him.

Amidst his astonishment, the once vibrant surroundings suddenly grew dim, as if the sun had been obscured by some immense presence. Leo instinctively directed his gaze upward.

What he beheld next was an image indelibly etched into his memory for all time.

Within the smoke-choked heavens, a colossal shadow was traversing the sky, its sheer immensity blotting out the firmament, so vast that its boundaries remained indistinguishable. The pervasive surrounding smoke rendered identification of its nature impossible, presenting an extremely indistinct silhouette.

Extending from its form were countless gargantuan tentacles, clearly indicative of a terrifying, unknown entity.

At that precise moment, the horrifying colossal creature moved across the sky, its tentacles writhing chaotically, an incredibly intimidating spectacle that sent shivers of dread down Leo Ray's spine. In comparison to this chilling titanic entity, the beings on the ground appeared utterly insignificant, like mere ants.

Concurrently, an unparalleled, immense pressure descended from above, nearly causing Leo Ray to lose his footing.

"This is...?!"

Leo Ray faltered for a moment, then swiftly apprehended the situation.

If his conjecture held true, this might be one of the scenes from the Era of Blankness, a period unknown to all.

And that horrifying colossal entity bore a striking resemblance to the concealed being beneath the Fishman Castle and the mysterious existence of the sand-robed elder.However, this was merely an illusion presented by a Deity. If Leo Ray witnessed such a scene firsthand, he'd likely be overwhelmed by its monstrous aura already. Right as Leo Ray thought this, a thunderous roar suddenly reverberated through the sky. That roar was akin to thunder, deafening and filled with hostility and murderous intent. Following this, countless bizarre giant black fireballs sprayed from the hulking body of the terrifying creature in the sky, resembling a meteor shower, densely raining down on the ground! In awe of the indescribable sight, Leo Ray opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word, while around him, the cries and screams were truly heart-wrenching. In the moment Leo was perplexed about whether this was a past vision or reality, a bleakly bright giant blade suddenly lit up in the sky, slicing the unbeatable monster in half and abruptly ceasing everything. Once Leo Ray came back to his senses, he was again in the resplendent scene earlier, with the unfamiliar Stone Spirit returned to human form. The Stone Spirit clasped her hands to her chest, her tawny face full of solemnity as she recited the Stone Spirit oath. "…In the name of the gods, I forge a sacred contract with thee, offering my power unto thee, assisting thee in pursuing truth, may truth endure eternally!" As the words ended, Leo Ray was slightly stunned as the new Divine Revelation arrived, surging into his mind like a tempest. This time, much of the Divine Revelation's content remained information about other Divine Stone holders' positions and basic information, alongside a map marking a particular location. This map was not unfamiliar to Leo Ray, even extremely familiar. "Is this Coldflame Kingdom's Northern Territory map? The marked point, is it the spot I suspect the Northern Territory's giant creature remains are? This is precisely where I've been searching!" "But why did the prompting voice tell me this location? Is there some unknown secret hidden there or perhaps clues to the truth of the Era of Blankness?" Leo Ray nodded slightly, taking a deep breath. Regardless, this is the clue he needed, once tonight's matters settle, he must proceed to that location promptly to uncover everything. In the next moment, Leo Ray's surroundings shifted again, now in an endless pure white space, where the unfamiliar Stone Spirit stood eagerly ahead. This scene was equally familiar to Leo Ray, naturally for selecting the Secret Spell venue. "Now, let me see what skills you truly possess." Leo Ray focused his mind, directing his attention entirely onto the Stone Spirit before him.
