The Asura Immortal Asuras

CHAPTER 98: 98

Chapter 98: 98

John hurriedly retreated and took out his scythe, but was unable to find the source of the sound.

“Who's there?” John asked as he closely watched the room.

“You can save your weapon. I can't hurt you,” replied the voice in a monotone tone.

Unwilling to believe the voice, John continued to take out his scythe, continuously scanning every threat.

“I am the artifact spirit in charge of overseeing this temple. As I said before, you must leave this place. You don't have a chance to get a chance here.”

John thought about it and put away his scythe after some time.

‘I think it's like the voice we heard in that first palace. I guess it's telling the truth. But I can't just leave this place before I figure out what it is. Besides, he said I didn't have a chance, it wasn't that there wasn't.

John looked around the room once more before his eyes were fixed on the round object in the middle of the room. A bright aura emanated from the object, making it difficult to see clearly. The only detail John could see was that it was round.

“You said I didn't have a chance to get a chance here, it's not that there isn't. What are the odds, and why am I not qualified?”

Silence filled the temple for a while before the voice replied once more.

“The chance is something beyond your imagination, but I can't divulge the secret. Only the person who succeeds in this trial can know the secret. As for why you do not qualify ..”

The voice paused for a moment, and John felt an unusually strong and profound heavenly feeling sweep over him.

‘Very strong. If you wish, this artifact spirit will most likely be able to exterminate me with a single thought. ‘

John began to sweat as he felt a strong feeling sweep over him. He knew that if the artifact spirit wanted him dead, it would have already happened, but it was still nerve-wracking not to control his fate.

After a few seconds of scanning, the heavenly feeling faded and silence once again filled the room.

John stood there for some time before becoming impatient. The pocket world is only open for three months, and every second is precious. Standing here doing nothing at all was just a waste of time in his eyes.

John was about to speak as the voice boomed through the entire temple once more.

“Interesting ... Your body is very .. interesting. Not like I've seen before ... but unfortunately, it's not necessary to pass this exam.”

John furrowed his brows because of the bad news. “Then what is needed to pass this exam?”

“This is the Elysian Lightning Temple, located in what was once the Elysian Lightning World. His legacy can only be obtained by those who have the talent of lightning, and only the most talented from heaven deserve this gift.”

“Elysian Lightning Temple? The Elysian Lightning World? What is it?” John could not help but ask curiously.

“It's not for you to know. Moreover, when I examine your body, I see no lightning cultivation, no lightning attribute body, nothing. You have no fate with this temple.”

‘Body lightning? It's true that I don't have one yet, but I know how to cultivate the Heavenly Lightning Script, it's a pity that I haven't had the chance to do so yet. ‘ John is very disappointed with the words of the artifact spirit.

“What kind of test is this? What do I need to do to get the prize. Can you answer at least that much?” John asked, hoping there was a way forward.

“I think I can tell you that much. The reward for this experiment was an object in the middle of the room. As you approach it, a field of lightning will erupt and attack you. As you get closer and closer to the object, the lightning field will grow stronger and stronger. If you manage to withstand the lightning field and hold the object, you can be counted as having passed the trial. ”

“I'm afraid that's impossible. Once you enter the lightning field, the path of retreat is cut off. You can only proceed through the experiment successfully, or perish. No other options.”

John swallowed the description of the trial, and could not help but glance at the corpses on the ground. Clearly they had underestimated the strength of the trial, and could only perish miserably. John took a closer look and noticed that the body at the edge of the experiment was mostly an intact skeleton, while closer to the object, the skeleton had been pounded into dust and ash, proof of the strength of the test.

“Does anyone ever pass the exam?” John could not help but ask.

“No, no one passed, or this trial will no longer exist.”

“Isn't that too rough? What's the point of the ordeal if it's never passed?” John asked sadly.

“The reward for passing this trial is greater than you could have imagined. In fact, even in the nine Worlds of Hegemon and the thirty-six Great Worlds, this gift would be highly coveted.”

“World Hegemon? Great World? What is it?” John once again asked curiously, but was quickly disappointed by the spirit artifact that refused to clarify.

John once again stared at the object in the middle of the room, and began to turn his brain to look for ideas.

“Can I ask a question about that trial?” John asked the voice.

“I am limited by certain rules about what I can and cannot answer, but if I can, I will,” replied a monotonous voice.

“You said I didn't have a lightning attribute body, and therefore couldn't pass the exam. Does that mean if I have a lightning attribute body, I can pass the exam?”

“But of course. All the corpses you saw before you had lightning attribute bodies, and you could see the results yourself.”

John breathed in the cold. Attribute body cultivators were considered heavenly geniuses, and would usually stand at the peak of the cultivation world, but they had all died here without a chance to fight back.

‘What exactly is this world? How there were so many lightning attribute cultivators gathered in one place. And they all died too. This pocket world is too weird. ‘

John wanted to ask about how old this pocket realm was, but based on the artifact spirit's previous answer, John could tell that it couldn't provide many details regarding this world or any other secrets.

“Then, what level of lightning attribute body is needed to pass this test?”

Silence filled the temple for a while before the voice spoke again.

“I can't answer that question.”

‘How good is this spirit. Whatever, I'll figure it out myself later. ‘

John looked towards the center of the room, and saw a faint line surrounding the object in the middle.

‘This is definitely the starting line of the trial .. I want to know.’ John's eyes sparkled as he thought of something and carefully approached the starting line of the trial.

The artifact spirit watched John approach the line and sighed, saddened at having to see another genius perish, but saying nothing to stop John's progress. It was here to monitor and control the trial, not ban them from entering.

John stopped one foot from the line and looked at him carefully. Slowly, inch by inch, John raised his hand and pointed his finger, pointing it slightly forward.

Just as John's finger broke the field of the experiment, John opened his eyes wide as lightning struck toward him.
