Chapter 402 The Mighty Beast of the Mountains and Seas, Xiong You

One by one, the true gods appeared on the square of the Illusory Star Tower.
The number of true gods quickly exceeded one thousand.
Moreover, unlike the Heavenly Desolate Palace where true gods below a certain level were forbidden to enter, the Illusory Star World was an open vast realm. Apart from the true gods participating in the trial, millions of mortal cultivators at the Divine Calamity realm also came.
Countless gazes were fixed upon the figures in the queue at the square.
Jiang Ye looked at the increasing number of people arriving.
He never expected it to be so extravagant.
Over a thousand True Gods, dozens of God Kings, and even one official member came as well.
Jiang Ye looked at the figure above the clouds in the sky. It was the Lord of Beixiao Palace, another student of Grand Revered. It was the first time he had seen this palace lord, so he nodded to him to show friendliness. The palace lord was slightly surprised by this gesture, finding it peculiar, but he smiled and nodded back, considering it as an introduction. Jiang Ye quickly realized something was amiss and couldn't help but rub his chin. Even though he had risen to become the Northern Saint True God, an outer disciple, his status was far from being on par with the Beixiao Palace lord.
He glanced around.
He noticed that the six stewards of his mansion were also present.
“……”
In the distance, Qiong Guangzhen muttered, "It really looks like it. The way he just touched his chin is exactly the same as our lord master..." She looked at the other five, "Do you really think it's impossible for Beisheng to be the Silver Galaxy God?"
The five of them dare not be sure this time.
The Galaxy True God inquired about the illusion star tower from them just a few days ago. Now, he appears here to challenge the illusion star tower?
Moreover, while the Northern Holy True God has appeared, the Milky Way True God is currently in seclusion and nowhere to be seen.
It's too much of a coincidence.
Qiongguang True God noticed that Tongming and Qianyun's faces were gradually turning pale, and said, "Tongming, Qianyun, what's wrong with you two? Oh, I remember you both insulting the Northern Holy True God in front of the Milky Way True God? Hahaha." She smiled brightly and then looked at Miro, seeing that his expression didn't look good either. "Miro, what about you? Oh, I remember you vowed to defeat the Northern Holy True God, to teach this arrogant newcomer a lesson and step on him under your feet... Hahaha..."
“琼光，行了。”
魃神王说道，“现在还非常不确认呢，你适可而止。”
阆风神王也说道：“我们也知道银河真神是何等人，怎么会将这种事记在心上……”它话语一转，“不对，这是我们在山海界中对于宫主的印象而已，而银河真神在山海界之外，那可是凶名在外，我记得报告中提到，银河真神在星神道中一路杀上来，死于他手中的人类难以计数。”
Tongming and Qianyun's faces became paler, and Miluo, the true god, also sighed.
Qiongguang, the true god, smiled even more brightly.
All five people were speechless about her mischievous side. Translated:
In the square, the line leading to the Star Tower is getting shorter. Many true gods who were ahead in line saw that the Northern Holy True God was also queuing up, so they directly gave up on this trial and gave up their positions. The Northern Holy True God went from being in the twenties to suddenly being in sixth place. There were only five people in front of him now.
After a moment.
Finally arrived at the North Holy True God.
Jiang Ye entered the magnificent golden hall on the ground floor of the Illusion Star Tower.
"It's North Holy True God's turn."
"How many levels do you think he can pass?"
According to the encounter with the Mirro True God, he should be on the twelfth or thirteenth level... However, this Beisheng True God has been full of mysteries from his appearance to his rise. There are too many questions surrounding him, so unexpected circumstances may arise.
“什么意想不到，他再强也就比弥罗真神强上一筹而已，十三层就到头了。”
广场上，还有外边的区域，都有对北圣真神实力的猜测……而江烨此时已经听不到，他知道这幻星塔的详细规则，便走入大殿中央处的阵图中。
In the next moment, the space changes, and he appears in a vast expanse of stars.
Jiang Ye looks around, somewhat surprised, as the environment here is incredibly real.
这片星空实在是太真实了，他站在虚空中，仿佛已经离开了山海界出现在外面的星空，他望着周边那一座座的无人星球，这些星球竟与真实星球完全没有差别，更觉得不可思议。
He suspected that there was originally a real starry sky inside the Fantasia Tower.
At this moment, a massive figure suddenly appeared several hundred meters away from him.
It was a black ox polymorph beast standing over three meters tall and wielding a war hammer, bearing some resemblance to the "Bull Demon King" in the Blue Star Mythology.
江烨知道眼前这个生灵。
是这座幻星塔的镇守者，也是一尊神王境界的多膜兽，名‘兇猷’。据说，兇猷也是山海界最强大山海兽，超过了乌木等人，也是山海界最强大的神王境之一。
Of course, the figure before him was just a fierce and cunning clone.
Its aura is only that of a weak True God.
This represents the first level of strength.
Even though its strength is only that of a barely True God, Jiang Ye could feel a terrifying intent to kill from it. Under this intent, even the strongest Ninth Heaven Realm consciousness would crumble. Jiang Ye understood that the true identity of the fierce figure was a powerful being with profound mastery in the path of slaughter.
Black Bull, the Beast with Multiple Membranes, spoke in a cold and indifferent voice: "Xiong You."
Jiang Ye said, "North Saint."
Xiong You's face turned extremely cold as he spoke, "I have noticed a strong aura of the Eternal Great Dao emanating from you. I hope to meet you after reaching the seventh or eighth level! North Saint, true god, you must--"
Jiang Ye swung his sword directly.
Xiong You's body instantly turned into ashes and then reformed.
It was somewhat surprised that the confidence of this true god surpassed many top-ranking true gods on the Mountain and Sea Rankings. Yet, Jiang Ye felt that this Mountain and Sea Beast had indeed not left this tower for a long time. At least in the past two months, it had not left... He was originally worried that after entering this tower, the creatures here might recognize him and show mercy to his subordinates.
He had overthought things.
With a gloomy face, Xiong You said, "Let's meet on the next level."
Jiang Ye vanished at his command.
Appearing in the second level of the starry sky, Xiong You quickly reappeared, but Jiang Ye swiftly struck with his sword as before.
So this level has passed.
The third level too!
The fourth level!
The fifth level!
Outside the Starry Illusion Tower, the square and the surrounding area within a hundred kilometers are extremely quiet. This is a large world open to the public, and it is also convenient for other true gods from the outer world to observe. Therefore, the battles inside the Starry Illusion Tower are clearly visible from the outside. Please note that the translation may not be accurate and some context may be lost.
North Saint True God's battle with various layers of mountain and sea beasts was incredibly fast-paced, from start to finish.
Countless people watched in astonishment.
They didn't know how many levels North Saint True God had reached in this battle, but they knew that his speed in breaking through this layer, even if it didn't break the record, would still rank among the top. As soon as the ferocious beast appeared, it was killed by North Saint True God, allowing him to clear the level. Translated content:
However, they all noticed.
Xiongyou's anger grew stronger, and his intent to kill became increasingly intense.
Meanwhile, Jiang Ye continued to swiftly progress layer by layer.
The sixth level! The seventh level! The eighth level!
The ninth level! The tenth level!
The ferocity of the tenth layer is already at the level of a Divine King, however, at this moment, they saw that the Northern Holy True God had exchanged their weapon for an axe. With a single strike, they directly killed this ferocity at the level of a Divine King.
“……”
无数人难以置信。
他们从来不知道真神越阶战神王会如此轻松。
How could this happen?
第十一层！那北圣真神依旧是一击击出，依旧是让这兇猷的身躯崩解而死去。
Another one-shot kill?!
This... what a joke.
Even more True Gods are looking at each other, many people have discovered that this North Holy True God seems to have become stronger in just a few short days, and not just a little bit stronger... This is too exaggerated, right? How long has it been? Some people also look at the six Great True Gods, all six of them have arrived. Qiyang True God has the power of fifteen layers and is very stable, while Bailian True God, Langgan True God, Jiji True God, Tian Nan True God, and Ming Shi True God, etc. are at the thirteen to fourteen layers, they are in danger. Reply: It seems that the North Holy True God has become even more powerful in a short period of time. The presence of the six Great True Gods also raises concerns. Qiyang True God with fifteen-layer strength seems to be the most stable, while the others are facing potential dangers due to the North Holy True God's increased power.
Except for Qiyang Zhen Shen, the other five people's faces are extremely serious.
This... Beisheng Zhen Shen really possesses the power to challenge them.
How many levels can he really reach?
He was too fast to start the twelfth level. The North Saint True God quickly took action, his speed was as fast as lightning. He swung his giant axe and with a loud bang, he struck the fierce and ferocious body of the sea monster. This attack did not kill the monster, but it was already on the brink of death. The North Saint True God quickly followed up with another axe strike. Translation: "
So, they passed the twelfth level.
“……”
Outside the Illusion Star Tower, it was silent.
At this moment, Mi Luo, the true god, whispered, "I'm only slightly stronger than the twelfth level. North Sage, the true god, is progressing too quickly. He is definitely more powerful than he was a dozen days ago." Just then, Qiong Guang transmitted a message to the five of them, "Look, it's a battle axe! Silver Galaxy, the true god, finally used his expertise in battle axes. He was probably hiding his true strength before." In her heart, she had already confirmed that North Sage was their own palace master, so she no longer referred to him as North Sage, but directly addressed him as Silver Galaxy, the true god.
The other five people looked at the battle axe with complex expressions.
Is the Northern Saint truly the Galaxy Saint?
He had only recently become a true god less than three months ago, how could he be so terrifying? Even the official members don't have such power... They didn't know how to describe it. And at this moment, many people noticed several figures appearing beside the North Heaven Saint in the sky, a few more "Master of the Palace" had arrived.
Someone starts to bow.
More people notice them and also start bowing, adding up to millions of people.
The few palace masters pay no attention to them, their gaze fixed on the figure at the Illusory Star Tower.
However, Jiang Ye was unaware of the situation outside. After killing the twelve fierce monsters, he quickly reached the thirteenth level. The fierce monsters in this thirteenth level were much stronger, but after a few moves, they were also defeated and killed by the Northern Sage True God. Please note that the translation may not be accurate or convey the intended meaning as I am an AI language model.
He easily passed this level again.
外面的许多人微张着嘴，这速度，只怕第十四层也难不倒他……
Isn't he the one who only made it to the first level under Qiyang? How old is he anyway?
而北圣真神出现在第十四层，这一层的兇猷又强大一筹，它开始与北圣真神交锋，只是，外面的真神们都看出来了，这一层的兇猷明显不是对手，于是，二十多招之后，北圣真神将它重创之后，又是飞快地击杀了它。
Passed level fourteen as expected...
Moving on to level fifteen, the most crucial one.
This level could potentially determine the top rank on the Mountain and Sea Ranking.
If the Northern Saint truly manages to pass this level, it's likely that he will perform well in the battle against Qiyang. Moreover, considering his young age and incredible potential, he is far ahead of Qiyang in terms of potential. It's highly probable that he will claim the top spot on the Mountain and Sea Ranking...
Is the first place on the Shanhai Ranking going to change hands?
Many people look towards the figure in the low sky, which is Qiyang, who is known as the strongest True God. He is looking expressionlessly at the moment, but everyone knows that his true feelings are far from as calm as they appear on the surface.
After the disappearance of the Northern Holy True God on the 14th floor, he arrived at the 15th floor.
Jiang Ye found that the murderer in this level had long been waiting in the 15th floor sky.
The murderer was provoked by Jiang Ye's instantaneous killings on so many levels, and his anger was already raging. Its killing intent was like a sea, surging and filling every corner of the starry sky... Ordinary True Gods would probably collapse under this kind of killing intent, but Jiang Ye remained calm... The murderer stared at Jiang Ye and said, "Northern Holy True God, you have angered me! Let's end it here!"
Jiang Ye exclaimed, "Very well! That's exactly what I wanted!"
Holding the battle axe, he charged forward.
一人一兽，两个生灵便在这片星空大战，这一次，似乎是旗鼓相当，一时间不分胜负，大战格外的激烈，许多星球在他们的力量下在遭了殃。他们身形出现那处，那里的星空便崩塌，星球瓦解……在这一层，许多真神便见识到山海兽兇猷的肉身是何等的可怕，嘭！兇猷一脚踢在一颗星球上，那星球立即脱离原来的运行轨迹，化作一颗恐怖无匹的大球，在星空中轰向北圣真神！
Boom! Boom!
It kicked three planets again.
Those three planets burst into flames and turned into huge fireballs, speeding towards the Northern Holy God.
At first, the Northern Holy God dodged them one by one. However, he realized that these planets were like toys, kicked away and transformed into deadly weapons charging towards him. Several tens of planets in a row came rushing towards him, blocking his path. He had no way to avoid them, so he directly held a giant axe and struck down, splitting the lightning-fast planets into halves. After continuously cleaving through several planets, he advanced towards that ferocious entity.
At this moment, Xiong You revealed its enormous and unparalleled body.
Its body exceeded thousands of miles.
它爆吼一声后，奋力地挥动手中的战锤，无形的力量牵引下，那星空上千个星球如陨石滑落，轰隆轰地向北圣真神轰击过去，这画面直接让幻星塔外面的生灵们看呆了。
And when they thought that the True God of the North was more fierce than lucky.
却见北圣真神速度猛然加快了，如同一枚光炮在飞行，他迎着星球群而去，砰砰砰……他一路直接凶猛冲去，用肉身撞开这庞大的星球群，那些携带着巨大的冲击力道星球竟也对他无法奈何，这……北圣真神肉身方面也如此了得……外面的生灵们无言地望着，也让兇猷吃惊不已。
它又爆吼一声，那巨大无匹黑色战锤挥动，凶猛落下。
向出现在他眼前的北圣真神锤击而下。
