Overwhelming Suppression
The sound was as heavy as a collapsing mountain, echoing through the misty valley, like an invisible giant hammer striking everyone's heart.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
In an instant, the distinct groups of people under the ancient tree, whether they were resting with their eyes closed or talking in hushed tones, all turned their gazes away from the Nine-Colored Divine Tree as if drawn by a magnet, and focused precisely on the shadow of the giant rock where Chen Fan was hiding.
A mixture of surprise, suspicion, vigilance, scrutiny, and a barely perceptible hint of murderous intent instantly locked onto that area amidst the interplay of dozens of gazes.
The air seemed to freeze at that moment.
However, under the gaze of dozens of eyes that could overwhelm even ordinary Seventh-Turn- Prodigies, no panicked movement appeared in the shadows.
A moment later, a figure walked out unhurriedly.
It was a child who looked to be no more than ten years old, with black hair and black eyes, a delicate face, and wearing the most ordinary Training Uniform.
As he walked, he casually reached out his little hand to brush off non-existent dust from his body, a mischievous, harmless smile even on his face.
Their relaxed and carefree demeanor made it seem as if they hadn't stumbled into Dragon's Pool and Tiger's Den, but rather were enjoying a leisurely stroll in the countryside.
This composure, so out of place with the tense atmosphere, surprised all the Prodigies.
Just then, a Snake Human Race with vertical pupils stared Prodigies at Chen Fan's face. As if remembering something, his expression changed drastically, and he cried out in alarm:
"It's him! The Bone Tempering Rankings... number twenty-ninth, Human Race, Chen Fan!"
These words were like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, creating huge waves.
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
If just moments ago everyone was merely curious and wary of the suddenly appearing rat, now, everyone's gaze has completely changed.
It was a look of fanaticism and undisguised greed in his eyes, like a ferocious beast that had been starving for months seeing a peerless elixir formed from the essence of heaven and earth, exuding a deadly allure!
Twenty-ninth on the Bone Tempering Rankings!
A Human Race has just broken through to the Seventh-Turn has actually reached such an unbelievable height!
What does this mean?
This means that his cultivation method, his foundation, and his Origin Dao Seed have all reached an unimaginable state of perfection!
Swallow him!
If I can devour him, I might be able to rise to the top in one step, and even glimpse the unparalleled glory of being among the top ten on the Bone Tempering Rankings!
"Heh... Seventh-Turn dares to come here and compete with us for the Dao Fruit? Truly, you've chosen the path to hell when there's one to heaven!"
A Demon Race Prodigies covered in hideous Bone Spikes was the first to lose his temper. He let out a cruel laugh, his Demonic Qi surging, and he regarded Chen Fan as the perfect nourishment for his breakthrough to the Eighth-Turn level.
Before he could finish speaking, three more figures moved simultaneously!
Fearing that someone else would snatch this enormous prize, they simultaneously transformed into three streaks of Stream of Light from three directions, tearing through the spiritual mist with deadly force, and rushing straight towards the seemingly harmless child in the center of the valley.
Terrifying energy fluctuations intertwined, instantly causing the spiritual mist throughout the valley to churn violently.
However, facing this deadly attack from four directions, Chen Fan showed no sign of tension. Instead, he yawned exaggeratedly, as if he had been disturbed from his afternoon nap.
He tilted his head slightly, watching the four figures move with lightning speed, and muttered something lazily.
"There are so many flies, it's so annoying."
The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
Arrogant!
This was the thought that popped into everyone's mind at the same time.
Just as the four Prodigies' determined attacks were about to touch Chen Fan's body...
A sudden change has occurred!
At this moment, the newly formed Golden Bone Patterns on the two hundred and six White Jade Bones in Chen Fan's body suddenly lit up!
Buzz!!
An overwhelming force, seemingly capable of suppressing all the heavens and crushing all laws of the world, silently spread out from Chen Fan as its center!
Time seemed to slow down in that instant.
The ferocious smiles on the faces of the four Alien Races Prodigies had not yet faded when their attacks, which they were so proud of, were like ice and snow thrown into a raging fire the moment they touched that invisible domain. They were forcibly decomposed and obliterated without even causing a ripple, turning into the most Origin Source light points.
Immediately afterwards, an irresistible and terrifying force descended upon them.
The four arrogant Seventh-Turn Prodigies suddenly froze in mid-air, and then, as if gripped tightly by an invisible divine hand, were uncontrollably pressed down to the ground!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Four dull, resounding thuds echoed as they were slammed face-down onto the hard rock, creating four deep, human-shaped craters.
The sound of bones shattering was clearly audible; their prized physical bodies were as fragile as paper in the face of this suppressive force.
"No... impossible! What kind of power is this?!"
The Bone Spikes Demon Race Prodigies struggled to raise his head, his face filled with extreme fear and disbelief. He tried to struggle, but found that the Origin Power within his body seemed to be completely frozen, and he couldn't even move a finger.
The entire hall was deathly silent!
All the Alien Races Prodigies who had been eager to make their move were now like chickens with their throats choked, their bodies stiff, their eyes filled with nothing but endless horror.
Chen Fan didn't even glance at the four people lying on the ground.
He simply raised his hand, pointed in that direction, and gently... snapped his fingers.
"Snap."
The crisp sound was particularly jarring in the deathly silent valley.
As the snap of the fingers fell, the suppressive force suddenly contracted!
The four Prodigies, pinned to the ground, didn't even have time to utter a scream before their bodies were crushed inch by inch within that terrifying domain. From flesh and blood to bones and then to their Divine Souls, they were ultimately transformed into four fist-sized, extremely pure golden Origin Power.
Chen Fan opened his mouth slightly and took a casual sniff.
The four streams of Origin Power transformed into four Stream of Light and entered his mouth.
He smacked his lips, as if tasting something, then frowned, his face revealing undisguised disgust.
"Four of them together aren't even enough to fill a gap between your teeth. They're too greasy, and the texture is unpleasant."
Quiet.
A deathly silence.
If the previous scene was horrifying, then this scene completely overturned their understanding!
In the blink of an eye, four Seventh-Turn experts of the same level were reduced to ashes, leaving not even a trace. And they still complained that the taste was bad?
What terrifying power this is!
Is this still the power Seventh-Turn Bone Tempering Realm could possess?!
Just as all the Alien Races Prodigies were terrified and their souls were about to die by this move.
On the highest, most towering boulder, the Titan Race Prodigies Tailong, who had always sat as steadfast as a mountain, finally stood up slowly.
