Chapter 2045 Even being able to close their eyes had become a luxury

　　During the first phase of the golden moon trial, after much effort, the participants managed to deal with the numerous inner-demon-like monsters.

　　The beast cultivators also suffered some losses. Some of their unfortunate members had been sucked dry by the monsters, to the point where they had become skin and bones. These guys would have to rest for three to five months to return to their previous state.

　　The giant tree continued to systematically grab these people and send them into its cabins.

　　After all the monsters were slain, the giant tree uprooted its body from the golden moon’s surface. Then, along with a loud rumbling sound, it set off to return to Garre Holy Mountain, bringing back those that had failed the trial with it.

　　After witnessing the scene, the remaining trial takers sighed in relief.

　　*****

　　A tall, sheep-horned female beast cultivator said, “It’s time to head to the next challenge.”

　　Most of the beast cultivators regarded this upcoming trial with great importance.

　　Although the General Principles Chapter of the (Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique) was hidden in the trial grounds, not everyone was aiming for it.

　　The goal of the majority of the Fifth and Sixth Stage beast cultivators was the upcoming trial, where they would be assessed and acknowledged by the divine dragon. If they passed the test, then their (Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique) would become complete, and their holy apes would gain a dragon pattern.

　　In the future, after they ascended to the Seventh, Eighth, or Ninth Stage, they would have another opportunity to participate in Garre Holy Mountain’s trial. It was not too late to acquire the final chapter of their cultivation technique at that time.

　　A one-horned beast cultivator said, “By the way, I saw Senior Tyrannical Song and Sage White move on to the next stage earlier. I wonder if they have already passed the assessment of the divine dragon.”

　　The members of the Beast Realm both loved

　　and feared Tyrannical Song.

　　There was no need to mention why they feared him. As for why they loved him, it was because he had given medicines and tips to the Beast Realm that helped them treat those who got infected with the evil energy of the Netherworld. In addition, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, himself, was an expert in treating those who were inflicted with the evil energy of the Netherworld and had personally cured many patients.

　　Nearly every person participating in the trial

　　had at least one of their friends or relatives treated by Profound Sage Tyrannical Song either directly or indirectly. As such, most of them had received his help in one way or

　　another.

　　The tall, sheep-horned female beast cultivator said, “Overall, I hope that Senior

　　Tyrannical Song can pass the test of the divine dragon. It would be even better if he

　　has already gone to the next challenge.”

　　Because of the grace bestowed upon the Beast Realm by Senior Tyrannical Song, nobody wanted him to fail.

　　But at the same time, they hoped they would not encounter him during the trial.

　　For this reason, Profound Sage Tyrannical Song having passed the assessment or having

　　already entered the next area—or the one after that—was what the beast cultivators

　　thought to be the best case.

　　“With Senior Tyrannical Song’s strength, he has definitely left us behind.” A snake-scaled beast cultivator laughed and said, “Maybe he’s already several challenges ahead. To be honest, we probably don’t have to worry about him at all.”

　　The one-horned beast cultivator smiled and

　　said, “That’s right. We, as Sixth and Seventh Stage cultivators, should not worry about Profound Sage Tyrannical Song, who is at the Eighth Stage.”

　　In the crowd, Sixteen smiled but did not say anything. She continued listening to the beast cultivators around her praising Song

　　Shuhang.

　　Having experienced the sudden attack of the

　　monsters during the first phase of the golden moon trial, when they headed to the second area, most of the trial takers chose to move in groups, watching out for each other. Soon after, the first batch of trial takers

　　arrived at the area of the second test.

　　“We’re here!” said the snake-scaled beast cultivator.

　　A black-furred beast cultivator said, “Be

　　careful. There’s a shadow beast ahead!”

　　At the border of the area where the second part of the trial was to be held, there was a dog-like shadow beast tied to a thin branch. The dog-like shadow beast raised its eyes and

　　weakly glanced at the trial takers. Then, it closed its eyes, lay on the ground, and pretended to be a dead dog.

　　A beast cultivator frowned, “Why is there a shadow beast in the second part of the trial?”

　　These shadow beasts could shuttle back and

　　forth between the shadows. Their means of attack were strange and difficult to defend against. These beast cultivators had managed to make their way here after killing a whole

　　group of monsters, so they were not that keen on having to fight again so soon. The snake-scaled beast cultivator said, “I’ll go kill that shadow beast.”

　　At this time, the sheep-horned female beast cultivator hurriedly said, “Wait, don’t be impulsive. I remember that Senior Tyrannical Song grabbed a dog-like shadow beast when he left the area of the first test. It’s very likely

　　that this shadow beast is part of Senior Tyrannical Song’s loot.” “Yeah, I also remember Senior Tyrannical Song dragging away a dog-like shadow beast

　　earlier.”

　　“But why did Senior Tyrannical Song leave

　　this beast tied here? Could it be that he has not passed the second trial yet?”

　　“I don’t see Senior Tyrannical Song or the

　　others that were with him anywhere nearby. Could he… have failed?”

　　“With the strength that Senior Tyrannical

　　Song possesses, there is no way he fails this kind of test. Perhaps Senior Tyrannical Song just tied the shadow beast here and went to the next area…”

　　“Regardless of what happened, let’s just ignore this shadow beast.”

　　And

　　so, this group of beast cultivators that had nine members bypassed the dog-like shadow beast and entered the second test’s

　　area.

　　As soon as they stepped into the area of the

　　second test, they felt as if the entire world had started spinning. Immediately afterward, the nine people were sent to nine different locations.

　　[Spatial energy?]

　　The nine beast cultivators were startled, and

　　they all immediately assumed defensive stances.

　　At this moment, the sound of a microphone

　　being tuned rang in their ears. “Welcome to the second test of the golden

　　moon trial, where you will be taking on the hardest challenge of your lives. Those who pass this test will be acknowledged by the divine dragon and receive its blessing. Those who fail will fall into a hell full of despair and

　　be unable to reincarnate for eternity.” A

　　gentle female voice sounded in everyone’s

　　ears.

　　As the language of the Beast Realm was used,

　　there were no problems with regard to communication.

　　The nine beast cultivators gulped anxiously.

　　“Are you ready? I’ll give you ten seconds to prepare. Widen your eyes, prepare your defenses, and welcome the harshest test!” The nine beast cultivators all focused. They fully activated their (Holy Ape Dragon Power Technique), and various defensive measures emerged around them in quick succession.

　　Their eyes stared straight ahead with rapt attention.

　　Then, a familiar figure that the beast cultivators respected, loved, and feared

　　appeared in their field of view.

　　After this figure appeared, a pair of deep eyes shone ominously.

　　“What is love?”

　　“What is filial piety?”

　　“Do you know the greatness of maternal

　　love?” Then, a terrifying light appeared in the pair of

　　eyes.

　　Due to the nine beast cultivators focusing as much as they could, their eyes wide and staring straight ahead, they did not have the

　　slightest chance of escaping the sudden flash of light.

　　At this moment, even closing their eyes had become a luxury!

　　They were left with no way out. “Ty… Tyrannical… Song…” The nine beast cultivators screamed in

　　unison, their minds collapsing. They had thought of thousands of possible

　　outcomes and many kinds of cruel tests.

　　However, they did not expect that Profound Sage Tyrannical Song would ambush them all

　　of a sudden.

　　He was also a trial taker, so why did Senior Tyrannical Song suddenly become part of the

　　test?
