Chapter 468: Catch!

However, Light Spirit immediately refused his idea.

"Not gonna work, this merging of elements you are doing is a very delicate process, not something you can achieve forcefully. The Law Eating Sub-Law of my Purple Tribulation Lightning Laws will immediately destroy the balance. If you really want to try something like that, you will need to completely comprehend my Law Eating Sub-Law. Only then will you be able to stop my Purple Tribulation Lightning from destroying your Elemental merge."

Krune was obviously sad to hear that.

"There is no need to feel like that. Instead, you can use the Purple Tribulation Lightning as support for skills that use it. For example, you like to use your Myriad Water Dragons with the Purple Tribulation Lightning. Although they are not really merging, they are still supporting each other. It greatly increases the strength of your Myriad Water Dragons. You can simply do the same thing with skills that use this Merged Elements. Use the Purple Tribulation Lightning to boost the power of the skills."

Krune nodded, he had to admit that it was a very good idea.

Suddenly, someone stood up and moved in the direction of the Light Pillar.

"Look, someone is finally trying again!"

"Great! I wanted to see the test once more, maybe I can understand something."

"Understand what, Idiot? This is a test of resolve, of will! If your will is not strong, you won't be able to pass. It is that simple!"

Krune heard the conversation around and felt puzzled. Looking around, Krune selected someone in the middle of those who were talking to ask with a Divine Sense Message?

"Hey, friend. Shouldn't the test be closed from view? Can you really see what is happening inside while he is in the middle of it?"

The person looked at Krune and noticed that it was the guy using the Godly Stones. For a second, he thought about ignoring him. But in the end, he knew Krune would find the answer once the person moving to the Light Pillar entered it. So he decided to talk since he wouldn't lose anything anyway.

"It is usually like this. However, this level is different. It will show images of the person going through the test to those outside. As you heard, this is a test of will. The formations inside will attack your mind. It has nothing to do with Soul Power, though. Having a strong or weak Soul will make no difference for the test."

"All that matter is if your own will is strong enough to step forward or not. Everything can affect someone's will, even an audience. Everyone believes that this test shows those inside so that they will feel even more pressure. Anyway, I think you understood the gist of it. This thing has a total of 18 levels from what I heard. All you need to do is to walk forward."

"Each level has 10Km, once you cross this mark, the ambient will change, and a new level starts. As long as you reach the 8th level, you pass. Of course, the further you go, the higher your position in this pillar's rank."

Krune couldn't help but feel interested in this test. He had never passed through something like this before. Even the tests of the Mohie Sect back in the Luvile Universe were targeted at the soul rather than the will.

Sure enough, as soon as that guy entered, images of what was happening inside were shown through a powerful Divine Sense that came from the Light Pillar. The participants outside could block it if they wanted, but who would lose the opportunity to watch the show inside?

The first area that appeared seemed to be a snowing path. The guy instinctively raised his Energy Barrier to block the cold, but it proved to be useless. The others outside laughed after seeing that.

"Idiot, energy protection is completely useless. Even equipments are of no use there."

"Hahaha! Does he even understand what a test of will is?"

"I bet he won't reach even the 6th floor."

"6th? I think it will be a miracle if he enters the 4th."

Noticing that any type of energy protection was useless, the man gritted his teeth and went with the cold. He wanted to fly and pass the 10km fast. But he noticed that he could not fly, even running was also out of the question.

Krune also noticed one thing. The time inside that test passed at least a hundred times faster. But he soon understood. If this test followed the outside time flow, this test would take to long to finish.

However, Krune could already see that he seemed to be having a hard time continuing. The cold continued to seep into his body, which began to get hard to resist. That wasn't all, the cold didn't attack only the body, but the mind too. It was indeed a test of one's will.

Of course, this was only the first level, so he was still able to finish.

On the second level, the ambient changed entirely. What before was a snowing path, now became a searing desert. For a moment, the guy relaxed. He felt comfortable to have all that cold expelled from his body. However, before walking past even 1/10 of the desert, he was already feeling thirsty.

He took a jar from his spatial ring and started to drink whatever was inside. Unfortunately, it didn't matter how much he drunk, it didn't change anything at all. It was as if he wasn't even drinking to start with. Finally, the guy gave up using any outside help and focused on the test alone. It was evident that nothing else would help him in this test.

Slowly, he pressed forward.

The third level was some kind of underworld. The dead passed by him, and their deathly energy seeped into his body. The feeling was worse than the cold and hot levels together!

Just are the majority predicted, he passed the third level too.

The fourth level was different. It didn't bring you suffering, but pleasure instead. The feel was so intense that it would make someone drunk with it. Of course, if the guy succumbed to these pleasures and stopped moving, he would fail, and he knew that.

Against the odds, he did not fail in the fourth level, which surprised many spectators.

Unfortunately for him, the fifth level was his stopping point. This was a messed level that would constantly throw you around, making your feeling of balance disappear. You couldn't even tell if you were going back or forward. Of course, for those observing outside, he was definitely moving forward.

Finally, he fell on the ground and was unable to continue. A few seconds later, his body disappeared from inside the 5th Test Level and reappeared outside. Everyone looked at him and laughed. They loved to watch this show.

Of course, the Holy Land is a cultivation land. All the Light Pillar tests were made to help the cultivators and demon beasts improve. So this experience would, without a doubt, help this guy to harden his will. Sooner or later, everyone around this pillar will end passing this test too.

Krune was obviously surprised by this test. He even felt eager to try to test his will. However, he still needs to finish getting used to this third-dimensional realm's Godly Energy first.

Two days passed in a flash. During this time, another twenty some cultivators and demon beasts tried their luck inside. Although the majority still failed between the 4th and 7th levels, three reached the 8th at least.

Krune also noticed one thing. Once someone reached the 8th level or higher, they would be given the option to return to the same level and try the test again once they reached their limit. It was evident that this test's creator was asking if they wanted to temper their wills even more or if they wanted to continue like this.

Two of the guys who succeeded immediately departed, while one of them returned. This guy's name was Frahem, a Demon Beast in human form at the 4th Stage of the Void Breaking Realm. He wasn't anything impressive. He didn't have a Heavenly Fragment or Heavenly Divine Soul. He wasn't a standard Major Divine Soul either.

However, he was still able to reach the 12th level of the Will Test! It proved that this guy's will was powerful. Not only that, but it seemed that he wanted to temper it even more since he returned to the third level instead of advancing. The majority thought that he was an idiot, that he shouldn't waste time in the lower dimensional realms.

Krune was different, though. He thought that there was something else to it, so he asked Frahem out of curiosity.

"Why do you want to temper your will even more?"

Frahem looked at him and laughed.

"Haha! Other than my will, I don't have anything to distinguish me from everyone else. Different from the majority, who got their slots thanks to their backgrounds and connections, it was through a hellish effort that I got a slot to enter the Holy Land. For someone who doesn't have anything else other than willpower, this level is tailor-made for me. I will not leave this place before I pass all eighteen levels. Even if I run out of time and ten years go by, I will not regret it!"

Krune's eyes shined after hearing that. Just the fact that he is willing to waste his ten years of the Holy Land in this place already shows his resolve. No wonder he went so far in this will test.

Although Krune has several perks under his belt, it doesn't change the fact that he got into this place with his own effort. Purple Flame was his creation; the Purple Flame Weapons were his creation too. It looked like Krune had it easy to acquire these slots for the Holy Land, but just how much he went through to reach the point where he could create the Purple Flames? Although he received a lot of help on his path, it was mostly thanks to his own efforts that he is here now.

Krune didn't notice, but suddenly, everyone close to him heard the sound of something breaking. Once they looked at Krune's hand, they noticed the Godly Stone turning into dust! Immediately, they all felt frightened!

"How can he absorb the Godly Energy this fast?"

"Is this some trick?"

"It shouldn't be, who would waste Godly Stones just to trick someone? Godly Stones are too important to be used for something like that."

Only when everyone looked at him did Krune notice that his first Godly Stone was already gone.

"Ah! Let's take another one."

Krune glanced at Frahem, who had closed his eyes to recover. It was then that Krune sent him a Divine Sense message.

"Hey, brother, catch!"

Frahem heard that and opened his eyes again when suddenly, a stone came flying against his face. It was so sudden that he was alarmed and immediately used his hand to stop it. Fortunately, he caught it before it hit his face. For a moment, he got angry at Krune. But then, he noticed everyone looking at him with envious eyes. When he looked at what was that Krune threw at him, he was shocked!

'Godly Stone!'
