Chapter 490 The Tyrannical Divine Grindstone (1/2)

When focus returned to Zhou Yuan, a tremendous change had occurred to his surroundings.

The misty mountain path had disappeared, and in its place was an endless yellow desert. He was currently standing on a dune, while heat rippled around him, making even the surrounding Genesis Qi appear rather vexed.

A golden sun burned high in the sky, strand after strand of its golden rays pouring onto the ground.

“Is this the second trial?” Mumbled Zhou Yuan as he gazed at the yellow desert.

“I wonder what the test is this time.”

While Zhou Yuan was thinking out loud, the golden rays of sunlight from the sky landed on his body. However, no change could be felt in his physical body or Genesis Qi.

“Not the body or Genesis Qi..”

“Then…”

Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly before he could finish his sentence. He had felt a burning pain from the Spirit between his brows, as if it had been placed onto a burning stove.

“The trial is targeting the Spirit…”

Zhou Yuan quickly sat down, and formed a seal with his hands. Genesis Qi surged out, creating a protective layer around his body in an attempt to defend against the golden sunlight.

However, it was clearly ineffective. The golden sunlight completely ignored his Genesis Qi defenses, easily penetrating his body to shine its rays on his Spirit.

Zhou Yuan dispersed the Genesis Qi, and began to focus on his Spirit, urging it to rise from between his brows and float in the air above.

Zhou Yuan’s Spirit had already stepped into the mid Corporeal stage, and looked no different from him, though it gave off a misty feeling as if it had no solid form.

His Spirit sat down in the air, fully concentrated as it released Spirit power to protect itself.

Golden sunlight continuously poured down, seemingly growing increasingly hot as time flowed by, while the burning pain felt by Zhou Yuan’s Spirit slowly intensified.

This continued until even the surface of his Spirit began to ripple.

Zhou Yuan’s expression was extremely grave. This was a very dangerous situation. If his Spirit were to reach its limit, it could possibly be destroyed, leaving his physical body an empty husk.

While he would also disappear from this world.

Due to the previous trial, Zhou Yuan knew that these trials were filled with danger, and the slightest slip may result in irreparable damage.

“The golden sun in the sky appears to be slowly shrinking…”

Zhou Yuan was carefully observing the changes around him, while he endured the burning pain, and he had just discovered that the golden sun was gradually shrinking.

“Is this a test of whether I will be able to last until the golden sun shrinks and eventually disappears?”

Zhou Yuan fell into thought for a brief moment. In the end, he took in a deep breath. Since that was the case, he just had to stubbornly endure till it was over.

Invisible halos pulsed around Zhou Yuan’s Spirit. These halos were made from his Spirit power, and continuously dissolving as they clashed with the golden sunlight...

However, just as he resolved himself to persevere through the pain, he suddenly felt a violent shudder from his Spirit.

“What’s going on?!” Zhou Yuan was immediately alarmed. Had his Spirit reached its limit so soon? How could it be? It was at the mid Corporeal stage!

Zhou Yuan hurriedly concentrated, and quickly sensed a mysterious light flickering between the brows of his Spirit, as a boundless noise began to emerge.

A noise akin to grinding stone.
