A red skeleton surrounded him and he was finally capable of taking on the Aura of Primordial Azure Dragon without any weakness. He stared right into the Azure Dragon"s eyes and said, "I wish to take the trail for the blood, bone marrow and the soul of the Azure Dragon."The Azure Dragon stayed silent for a few minutes and it wasn"t possible to know about what he was thinking, he then slowly nodded as its voice echoed, "After waiting all these years, I have finally found a fated one. And within this millennium, you are the first."
"It has been a long time since someone managed to pa.s.s from the Flood Dragons standing in front of this Trail ground. Well, since you requested the trial, I shall respond in kind."
"The trial I left behind does not test the challenger"s strength, but test their innate talent, willpower, and determination. The trial"s difficulty, will vary based on the challenger"s strength. Once one enters the trial grounds, there will only be two outcomes. One, is to pa.s.s the trial and obtain the Dragon G.o.d"s bloodline; the other outcome...."
"Is death!"
"There are no failures, there is only pa.s.sage or death! So, tell me do you still wish to enter the trial now. amongst the one hundred and twenty-nine challengers before you, none had pa.s.sed. They all remained in the trial grounds, and became dried skeletons. Moreover, amongst these one hundred and twenty-nine challengers, even the ones with the lowest strength was of the Sky Profound Realm!"
Ryusuke looked at it with a serious expression on his face as he slowly started to say, "Of course, just get the trail started, I am not scared of this trial."
"Your answer is not reluctant. Your courage is quite remarkable; moreover, I sense that a very large part of your determination comes from your wish to save this person beside you. Since it"s like this, I"ll grant your wish, and open the gate to the trial grounds for you… Before you enter the gate of the trial ground, you have enough time to prepare for everything; especially mental preparations." Said the Azure Dragon
Ryusuke looked at it and said, "You know, you are a really chatty Beast for someone who is the head of all Divine Beasts. I told you, just get the trial started."
Ryusuke pa.s.sed through the "Gate" of Trial and entered this place, looked at the surroundings, and frowned. The platform he was standing on was very small. It was so small that he was even able to see the extreme ends of the platform from his current position.
The length of the platform was not more than a quarter of a kilometre, and its width was barely a hundred meters. The surroundings were all mountains, so there were basically no roads to walk on. And, all the mountain peaks were seemingly hidden within the clouds; even if one were to think of climbing to the top of one of them, it was absolutely impossible to do so.
"You really managed to surprise me when you showed me that Red Skeleton"s Aura which is capable of taking on my aura, it is no small accomplishment as even in my soul form, the amount of my soul power isn"t something that you should have been able to take. Well then, let"s get this started."
"Welcome to the Dragon G.o.d"s trial grounds, young human. In this trial, there will be a total of three stages. Where you are now, is where the first stage will be held. In front of you, is the only entrance to where the second stage will be held. Defeat all the Stone Dragon Warriors in this place, and the entrance will naturally open… I wish you best of luck human."
Soon, the Azure Dragon"s voice faded and Ryusuke stared at the 8 stone generals that entered the stage with their cultivation base as the same as himself, 9th Stage of Tyrant Profound Realm. He looked at them with his Mangekyou Sharingan as started using his Shunshin to move from one place to another.
He dodged the attacks of the 8 Stone Generals and after some time, jumped up high in the air and said, "Fire Style: Majestic Flame Destroyer." A large stream of fire was released from his mouth completely enveloping the whole platform.
The Fire annihilated these 8 Stone Dragon Warrior, after some time 16 Stone Generals came on the platform and stayed a bit farther away from each other. Ryusuke noticed it, this time he stretched out both of his hands and said Universal Pull.
Suddenly, all the stone general started to move in his direction, he then jumped at the last moment and used his Majestic Flame Destroyer to destroy them all. After some time, there were 32 and then 64 and then 128 and they kept on increasing as Ryusuke killed them mercilessly with his Great Fire Annihilation, the favourite fire based Jutsu of Madara Uchiha.
After finally, the Stone Dragon General entered the stage and used his aura at the peak of the Sovereign Realm. It seemed that its power was adjusted with respect to its challenger. He smiled as he glanced at this Stone Dragon General.
Its body was over three meters, and its entire body was covered in thick and heavy golden coloured Armor along with a golden-yellow helmet.
Right now, Ryusuke was also tired of fighting these weak stone generals, he also wanted to find someone who may make him use some of his power and thus Stone Dragon General seemed perfect.
The Stone Dragon General rushed towards Ryusuke so as to attack him and finish him then and there. Ryusuke stared at the Stone Dragon General coming towards and him, he simply stretched out his hand and said, "Almighty push."
