Transcending Limits 19 Mythical God?

"Xiao Lian, where are we?"

He picked himself up after falling down tragically from a height, he enquired about the location as everything was pitch dark.

"Xiao Lian?"

Massaging his sore arms, he tried to get a response. Helplessly, he checked the Snow Glazing Lotus, he found her sitting cross-legged as usual but a golden light covered her completely making her look revered and holy.

Before he could point it out, an ancient voice spoke as it shook the darkness itself. Following which, a bright light flashed as two large dazzling golden eyes appeared high in the air.

"Welcome to the Mythical Dragon God's Trial, Human."

"Huh?!" His first reaction was being vigilant and having his guard up.

"This is the single step which can help you soar the heavens or descend to the depths of hell."

the voice sounded again.

"Hey, Wait, wait, wait. What the hell is this place? Who are you? And why do you sound like a scammer?" he regretted saying soon. He shouldn't have simply offended the opposite party.

"Insolent! I am the remnant soul of Mythical Dragon God representing his will. I am entrusted to choose the successor to receive his legacy." came the response filled with pride and glory.

Even though it didn't understand the meaning of 'Scammer', it sounded anything but good.

After all, it was like getting slapped at your greeting face, it was Insulting.

'Wow, Now this is interesting. Will I get some OP bloodlines or legendary treasures?

Perhaps even pills to help Xiao Lian's soul are not out of question.'

Sheng Tian's mind quickly drifted to the innumerable inheritances and legacies acquired by the protagonists in the novels he read.

It was always a power-up for them to get something and it was always cool and OP. And now even he could get one, How awesome was that?!

He cursed his heaven-defying luck shamelessly and felt that he couldn't help it.

As someone who is bound to be the Main Character of the era and the ones to come, he felt that getting a dozen legacies was rather natural.

The Dragon Soul thought that he was too surprised by its words and digesting them. If it knew that this fellow was planning on taking a dozen legacies, he would surely cough up blood in anger. After all, Legacies are not cabbages!

Coughing twice to gain attention " Mr. Old Drago... oops, Senior Dragon Soul, I am very willing to take upon the legacy as it is my honor to bring pride to all dragons. You may not know but I liked dragons for a long time, especially dragon meat ...crap, I mean Dragon's magnificence and their pride." He got a bit too excited and blurted things out.

It would be a lie if he says that he was not willing to taste the meat of a dragon.

Who in the right mind didn't know that it was extremely beneficial for cultivators and also gives one great power? Alas, he could not ask this Old Dragon for some juicy Dragon meat, could he?

Well, unless he was trying to court death.

A sentence broke the obscure silence "The Moment you entered the Forbidden Region, You are destined to inherit the legacy or die here."

He understood the implication of those words.

"I got it. I want a minute please." he was calling out to Xiao Lian in his mind.

This was too dangerous, he was going to get all the help he could. He needed to ask her if she could give him any info before the trial as this seems to be stuff from the Divine Realm.

But the dragon soul replied as if noticing his actions" Young Human, The Soul residing within your body was frozen by me the moment you entered here.

Honestly, I didn't expect someone from the Divine Realm to be here. But I won't intervene in your Karma.

Only by inheriting the legacy could you leave this place and that soul can come out from the binds. Otherwise, it will be the end for both of you."

An unusual seriousness appeared on his face. He seemed to be a different person from the one who was joking and complaining earlier.

" Senior, I am prepared. I will win. The only case I won't win is the case you don't let me. If you want to make me fail, leave her out of this." a voice full of confidence and resolve sounded.

"Some bold words you have there. There are 3 stages to pass.

Failing at any step is death.

There have been more than 2000 participants who took the trial in the past 500 million years. Yet, no one succeeded.

As the Will of the Dragon Divine God, this is something I'm both proud and sad of.

You are the first one in the last 5,000 years. I hope that you inherit the legacy of my god."

"I will." Sheng Tian too wasn't sure of his feelings at the moment.

His first thought- getting something here would be a fortune. Even if he didn't, he would find an exit and get the hell out of this damn place. However, after realizing the outcome of not passing the test is death, he felt cold.

Being played in someone else's hands, stripped out of the right to live, Sheng Tian felt like he was in shackles. His soul longed for freedom. His heart yearned for a life uncontrolled by anyone else.

At that moment, he decided that even if he solved all the problems he had, even if he went to the divine realm and helped Xiao Lian, he would never stop pursuing strength.

Only Power begets Safety.

"Let the trial begin" After the voice sounded, his surroundings changed. He found himself in boundless green plains.

As he got over the shock, the Dragon Soul's ancient voice sounded "The first test, Strength."

Just as the voice ended, the land shook uncontrollably. From the ground, tens of golems got up.

They were each taller than 4 meters Were totally bulky, made of sand and stone.

Sheng Tian summoned his Sword. It was the sword he got from the storage ring looted from Ling Chen.

As he checked the Cultivation of them, he relaxed a little. All of them are ranging from 3rd level Foundation to 5th level Foundation realm. They totaled to 40.

He sprung forward, not wanting to be passive. Striking first gets the upper hand!

With the Formless Void Steps, he vanished into the air just like that.

In the next second, under the confused gazes of the Golems, he appeared in the middle of ten golems and swung his sword, though it didn't have any style, it had substance-Death!

As he was practicing Dark Sword Arts, he started to realize its profoundness and started adding it into his own moves.

The Sword attack was embedded with his Profound Energy and understanding of Dark Cloud Arts. Thus it was lethal to these Golems, which couldn't stand a single blow from his attack.

The one he hit was torn into two pieces. The golems surrounding didn't even have the time to react when they lost control of their body and they fell on the floor. All Ten Golems are destroyed.

Without giving the chance for the remaining golems to attack him, he sped up and jumped high.

Using destruction fist from the Destruction Play and Dark Sword Moves at the same time, he plunged into the ground.

Unlike Sheng Tian who can skip realms, the Golems were at the standard of their level. Thus, they only became stepping stones for him, allowing themselves to be destroyed.

After destroying those golems, Sheng Tian didn't even sweat.

Just when this happened, an ominous premonition came to his mind. And Man, he cannot be more right.

The next waves of attacks came from the 6th realm, then 8th realm and it didn't stop even when it crossed the 4th level of Nascent Soul Realm and their numbers were always 40.

Sheng Tian started to lose his cool, it was only getting harder.

Does this even have an end?

And he knew not everyone would be like him, taking down a mob which is above a realm to him.

And now this perverse Trial didn't even give a break.

What the f**k?

When the next wave appeared Sheng Tian's mouth twitched. Looking at the group of golems at the 6th level of Nascent Realm, he held his sword and marched forward emitting a heavy pressure.

This battle, unlike the previous ones, made him injured albeit not much. They were just scratches.

But Sheng Tian started to grasp the gravity of the situation. Impervious to anything, the golems kept appearing and the battles continued.

***After an hour***

"Huff, huh" panting, Sheng Tian tried to catch his breath. His body was not in a good condition either, there were numerous wounds and a good deal of blood on the floor.

His body felt weak. He felt that he might not be able to continue.

As this was happening externally, Internally all the thoughts vanished in his mind, only one remained " I must live".

As he was thinking that the trial might be over, he saw the new golems which are at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. Having no choice over the matter, he gritted his teeth and roared pushing his spirits to the peak.

This time, the fight was not easy.

Though Sheng Tian could kill a Peak Nascent Soul Warrior without much difficulty, facing 40 of them in his current condition is not something he wanted to try.

The Golems which each had the strength of the standard cultivator at peak of Nascent Realm shouldn't be much lethal to him, but their attacks were ruthless without consideration of their own life.

Their defenses were dropped and were fully bent on attacking as they purely intended to slaughter him.

The Situation turned fiercer as Sheng Tian was forced to defend from the sneak attacks from time to time.

The battle was in a deadlock and with each coming group, their coordination is increasing and the current group has excellent coordination hindering Sheng Tian's divide and conquer strategy he used till now.

In the Sky, a pair of magnificent golden eyes are watching the battle below. As time passed, the shock in the eyes continued to grow beyond the point of disbelief.

The Dragon Soul searched through all the history it knew yet there was no such monster.

He was beyond comparisons. If he was born in that era, then the Divine Realm's history would have probably been different today.

The War of Realms might have had a different ending or better, there would've been no such war.

Thinking of the past, a myriad of emotions filled the eyes. But it shook its head and focused on the present.

Even though the contestant could possibly be the greatest genius to be ever born, the Dragon Soul still followed the rules.

It didn't show favourability or discrimination, upholding the will of the Mythical Dragon God!
