Chapter 462 - Flint's Death



David held Flint in his arms, he could feel the life force slipping out from Flint's body.

Even after using his own blood, there was a reaction. David still didn't give up, his fangs elongated and he bit Flint by the neck softly.

Withdrawing his fangs, he waited in anticipation but in just five seconds, Flint whispered and took its last breath. The bite seemed to have worsened the situation instead

David clenched his jaws tightly and his eyes reddened slightly. Although he had taken Flint on a whim, he still considered it a part of his own even with its unruly nature.

Taking in a deep breath, he wrapped flint gently with a cloth and then placed him within his storage ring.

Since Flint was dead it was applicable to the rules of the storage ring. David sat down cross-legged on the floor and meditated.

He wasn't able to mediate immediately since his mind was chaotic and his thoughts were all over the place.

Time went on and his mind calmed. He could focus on his body now and assist his body to heal rapidly, drinking mouthfuls of the Stone Ape's blood if he ran out of energy and blood.

Roughly five days later, David opened his eyes gently. His eyes were now calm and serene. Unlike the restlessness he was feeling a few days ago.

He took out another robe from within his storage ring. His previous robe had been destroyed during the clash with Sun Wukong's avatar

He calmly gazed at his surroundings and was able to see the door to the next stage. There was something different about this door, but David didn't really care.

The next stage would be harder than this stage and David was preparing his mind for a heaven shaking battle.

But as he entered through the door, he seem to have gone back to space where there were clusters of beautiful stars and planets. But they seem unreal, fake. "What's this?"

An illusion? David thought.

"Welcome."

An aged voice sounded right from behind David. For the person to sneak up behind him without David hearing a single footstep or sensing the threat, it meant that there was no threat or the threat level was beyond his sensory level.

David didn't panic, he turned around slowly and saw an old man. The old man had white hair on his head and a long white beard. He had a smile that seem to radiate kindness and selflessness. The aura he himself exuded was one that made one feel relaxed.

But David was different, the more relaxed his body is, the more sense of danger he felt. He gazed at the old man with a solemn expression on his face.

"Who are you?" "Are you the sixth trial?" David asked consecutively.

"Sixth trial? Ha-ha. No I'm not. I am who you call the Sacred Forefather. Ouyang Feng." The heaven and earth seem to change upon hearing his name and the idea to suddenly kneel sneaked its way into David's mind.

But the idea was quickly crushed as soon as it came. David was one to do as he liked, but kneeling for someone who he had no idea about, that was just pushing it.

David's expression darkened, what was this old man trying to do.

"Old fogy, what are you trying to do?" David growled angrily.

"Hm?" The old man sounded surprised and a strange glint flashed within his eyes as he stared at David with a renewed expression.

David took in a deep breath and then said. "I'm supposed to be ting the sixth trial, why I'm I here instead?"

"There's no sixth trial for you since you've passed all the trials already."

David frowned, he hadn't really understood what the old man was saying.

"This trial was designed to test the strength of those willing it to inherit my techniques. The strength of every trial is fixed and has been limited by the restrictions set down by me. The Trial masters should not be able to break through the limit. But it's been thousands of years already, the seal has weakened which had allowed the Stone Ape to break through the limit and had even summoned its atman at the end."

David listened carefully to the old man. He then frowned. "The seals are beginning to weaken? What about the contestants that are unlucky and have the same situation as me "

"There is little I can do to help them..." The old man shook his head and sighed.

David immediately shrugged. "That's fine by me." he wasn't particularly related to the people taking the trial. While there were some disciples in the same academy as he, their life and death weren't any of his concerns.

In fact, the more people that dies during the trial, the fewer treasures would be taken which meant more treasures for him.

"Your fifth trial was even more difficult than the final trial. It would be a waste of time taking the remaining trial, which was why I brought you directly to me. You've completed the trial."

The old man suddenly floated sideways.

David's pupils constricted. Seeing the man floating around.

The old man smiled gently "Don't be surprised, this is my soul form."

But those exact words made David even more cautious. A soul form? That was the stuff of legends. It was said that beyond the heaven realm, there was what they called the Sacred Spirit Stage where one would be able to wander in the spirit form.

Calming himself down. "Which meant that the trial has been completed right?"

"That's right." The old man nodded his head.

"Alright, what are the rewards for passing the trials? Since I passed the trial, I should get some rewards right?"

The old man smiled. "I was about to get to that."

He then pointed at the stars around them. "Those stars that you see are the martial arts I've managed to accumulate in my entire life.

The final rewards would only be given when all the successful contestants are gathered.
