With the help of the Kaleidoscopic Compass, Austin and his companions found it much easier to
explore the Fallen Divine Valley.
The compass could sense the land of death. The moment it detected that there was a land of death
around, it would sound an alarm.
Having this compass with him had saved Austin much time and energy.
Meanwhile, in the Fallen Divine Valley, a huge pair of eyeballs appeared in the sky.
The eyeballs were looking at Austin below.
"I have been observing this young man for quite a while, and it seems he's the closest possible
candidate who can meet my master's requirements.
He's been proving himself worthy.
It's only fair that he doesn't undergo the rest of the trials anymore.
He can skip going through all those dangerous places. Otherwise, it might take him too long before he
can pass the remaining tests in the Fallen Divine Valley.
I can't wait much longer.
I'm eager to see what more he can do. I'd like to see if he is the one my master wanted.
Well, then.
I'll send him to where the final competition will be held.
It's time.
Besides, my master said that anyone who enters the Fallen Divine Valley must go through all the trials.
Only those who survive all the trials are qualified to participate in the final competition.
In any case, those who can show an excellent performance during the competition can make it out of
the Fallen Divine Valley alive.
If this young man takes the final victory, it would only mean that he's the one that my master had been
waiting for.
No words can fully describe my excitement.
I have been anticipating this day, and now someone has finally met our expectations.
Young man, I hope you don't disappoint me,"
the huge eyeballs in the sky murmured.
Just when the eyeballs finished talking, a golden light beamed from the sky.
It rushed towards Austin and his companions.
"Watch out! Everyone, take caution. Something's up,"
Otis advised his companions.
Austin and the others had already sensed the light, so they immediately used their bodily movement
skills in an attempt to avoid it.
However, a huge light column suddenly fell from the sky and shone on them.
Before they could even do something, a strong teleportation force enveloped them.
In a blink of an eye, all of them vanished into thin air.
After some time, they all emerged into a mysterious world.
As he tried to make sense of what happened, Austin looked around.
It was chaotic everywhere, and the law power filled the space. "Where am I?"
After realizing he was sent to this place, he unleashed his spiritual sense.
Austin found no sign of people around him.
"Ingram? Master Otis?"
Austin tried to call them out.
However, he heard no response.
Right then, he finally became aware that he lost them, along with Tyrone, Bernie, and the others.
"Damn it! Seriously? Did I fall into another land of death?" Austin murmured.
He was starting to feel anxious.
Although he was feeling uneasy, he wasn't worried about himself.
After all, he had mastered the Earth Exploring Technique, and he even had the Kaleidoscopic
Compass.
He was more concerned about the safety of his companions.
Austin knew that they couldn't handle lands of death on their own.
The more he thought that his friends might have been trapped or even lost their lives in the land of
death, the more restless he got.
Wasting no time, Austin activated the Kaleidoscopic Compass. He then used the Earth Exploring
Technique in an attempt to perceive his surroundings through communicating with the Earth Energy.
While he was concentrating on his technique, a loud voice suddenly resounded in the space.
"Ha-ha! Welcome to the final competition, everyone.
You all must be confused about where you are and what's happening right now.
Even more so, you're all probably quite curious about the Fallen Divine Valley. Is that right?
I guess you'll be surprised to know that the Fallen Divine Valley is, well, artificial.
Everything in this place, from all the dangerous places to all the menacing trials, was crafted by just
one person.
All of that was created by my remarkable and omnipotent master. However, he has fallen.
Before his death, he had spent a lot of time and energy working on the Fallen Divine Valley.
This place was a masterpiece that had even become one of the most famous and mysterious forbidden
areas in the Sea of Chaos.
Ha-ha! It truly is spectacular. Don't you think he was such a great man?" the voice spoke with great
pride.
It seemed that the owner of the voice had great admiration for its fallen master.
Meanwhile, Austin felt uncomfortable listening to the booming voice.
"I knew it. I was right. This Fallen Divine Valley was set up by someone.
Although, the voice mentioned that the master who created this place had perished, and he pieced this
all together before he died.
Did he seriously build this spooky Fallen Divine Valley by himself?
How formidable could he be to be able to do all that?
Even a myriad of divine gods had lost their lives in the valley that it had become a burial ground for
them!" Austin exclaimed.
He was both impressed and anxious.
He was trying to wrap his mind around all the information he just heard when the voice spoke again.
"Since you can hear me, it means that you have made it the final round. This is where it will take place.
As you all know, only those who had passed all the tests or have had an outstanding performance are
qualified to participate in the final competition.
So, you should all be proud of yourselves.
You have made it here because you are the best of the best!"
the voice continued.
"My master had set some rules when he established the Fallen Divine Valley.
When you entered the valley, you were put to the test over and over, remember?
And every time, only those who survived were able to advance to the next round.
Winning all that would lead you to the final bout, and if you performed well, you'd finally be able to
leave the Fallen Divine Valley safe and sound.
Now, this is your chance.
This is your chance to demonstrate how much you've learned.
In this competition, the participants with an excellent performance can get out of the Fallen Divine
Valley alive.
In addition to that, those who win will be greatly rewarded with secret skills, magic treasures, precious
natural resources, and even rare divine crystals. These treasures can greatly improve your powers.
Everyone, I hope you all seize this great opportunity.
This is your chance to leave this place and win a lot of powerful treasures.
Who knows when this competition can happen again? Just so you're aware, the last one was held eras
ago.
If you miss this opportunity now, you may have to wait for several more eras before you can have
another chance to participate in the competition again.
It would take you ages before you can make it out of this valley, so right now, you have two choices. It's
either you back out and stay here, or win and leave with a great deal of rewards.
If you're up to the challenge, good for you. But I suggest you try your best to stand out,"
the booming voice expounded.
While Austin listened carefully, he trembled with fear.
"What the hell?
You've gotta be kidding!"
