Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

"It's truly rare."

A Star God looked at the three individuals below and nodded slightly: "Previously, after the Four Exams, there would usually only be one person left, or during the Four Exams, a new Divine Son would have already been selected. I didn't expect there to still be three people this time?"

He smiled and said: "Let's begin the Fifth Exam then. The rules are simple... a chaotic battle among the three, a fight to the death. You can choose to surrender, or you can choose to die... The last one standing will be the Divine Son."

Lin Qing slightly raised an eyebrow.

A life-and-death chaotic battle?

Is this the Fifth Exam?

"The venue for the Fifth Exam is ready."

The Star God pointed with his fingertip, and a vortex-like spatial door instantly appeared in the hall.

He glanced at Lin Qing with a hint of suggestion, saying: "Before entering the venue for the Fifth Exam, you can choose to give up, otherwise once the Fifth Exam starts, it might be too late to give up."

Those who were eliminated as Trial Takers all looked at Lin Qing.

Everyone could hear it.

The words were clearly hinting that Lin Qing, whose strength seemed the most ordinary among the three, was forced to only defend and hide during the simplest survival phase. Fighting against these two, wouldn't it be courting death?

Yet, Lin Qing remained calm and pretended not to hear the hint directed at him.

At this moment, the Star God of the Life System on the high platform spoke softly: "It's not easy to say who should give up, let's begin."

The three of them immediately walked towards the spatial door.

...

Space-time changes.

In the blink of an eye, they appeared in a vast world of ice and snow.

It seemed extremely close to absolute zero here, enough to instantly freeze most living beings into ice blocks. Everywhere the eye could see was a vast expanse of ice and snow, along with majestic and towering ice peaks and snow mountains.

Such an extraordinary extreme cold even seemed to have a freezing effect on space, and the spatial pressure was exceptionally astounding.

Ordinary abilities of the second or third tier in the Star Abyss would find it quite difficult to even move here!

"Boom!!"

The moment the three appeared in this purely frozen world, an enormous thunderous roar abruptly emerged from the icy sky!

Even the distant ice peaks trembled, cracking into numerous fissures, as if an avalanche was imminent.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, numerous colossal bolts of lightning like roaming dragons traversed the sky, wantonly stirring the dark and cold heavens, resembling an end-of-the-world judgment, or annihilating Divine Punishment!

The next moment, these terrifying lightning bolts simultaneously descended, striking the silver-browed bald man!

Within the dazzling electric light, the powerful electric rays quickly integrated into the silver-browed bald man's body, causing his aura to swell swiftly!

In an instant, only chains of lightning remained swirling around him.

The silver-browed bald man, like an apocalyptic deity, stood suspended in the air, coldly gazing at the blue-haired girl: "This simple survival trial doesn't deserve my Authority... Come on, let me see what you have!"

At this moment, his eyes were fixed solely on the blue-haired girl, not even glancing at Lin Qing nearby.

To him, a Trial Taker who barely survived the survival trial by relying on sheer willpower wasn't worthy of being his opponent, no matter how superior their comprehension or will might be.

At least now, he was the strongest!

"'Divine Punishment'?"

The blue-haired girl frowned slightly at him, and suddenly, pure black scales appeared on her skin, while her eyes instantly transformed into noble pure golden hues.

She astonishingly took the form of a Primordial Demon from the Powerful category.

Simultaneously, as her Domain expanded, layers of illusory and dark world projections suddenly appeared behind her.

These were layers of Star Abyss projections.

At this moment, she seemed to walk within the Star Abyss World, dominating these layers of Star Abyss World with absolute authority!

"'Star Abyss Walker'?"

The silver-browed bald man's pupils slightly contracted, recognizing her Divine Skill, and his heart sank.

This was definitely a Combined Divine Skill no weaker than "Divine Punishment," especially since she fused several Divine Skills to create the true Star Abyss Walker!

While he hadn't fused into a true Divine Punishment.

But... he had confidence in his Authority, and his Genetic Optimization Index far exceeded hers!

"Let's see who wins then..."

The silver-browed bald man took a deep breath, then glanced at Lin Qing not far away, his gaze turning ever so slightly cold.

Coincidentally, he already disliked these geniuses that exceeded common understanding.

"Ignorant! Then die."

He suddenly moved, transforming into a fearsome electric light striking towards Lin Qing at high speed, leaving a fiery angle in the icy Void, directly aimed at Lin Qing!

The blue-haired girl slightly frowned.

Just then—

"Boom!!"

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted, endless dark golden energy like a nuclear explosion surged outward from Lin Qing, instantly bursting forth completely!

In a flash, the electric light was engulfed by this fearsome explosion.

Distant ice mountains shattered, countless ice and snow flew up in the explosion, for a moment filling the sky with ice fragment shrapnel, as if obscuring the sky.

Then, an electric light, now greatly dimmed, flew out backward from the swirling ice and snow fragments.

In that electric light, the silver-browed bald man frantically retreated, trying to escape here, his eyes full of unbelievable shock and fear.

Just then—

"Where are you going?"

Under the shadow that covered the sky, an enormous hand like a mountain suddenly grabbed him.

Like catching a bug.

Then, squeezed tightly!
