Yi Yun glanced at the six stone gates. They were all similar, the only difference being the reliefs on them. Some depicted three-headed Giant Beast, some giant snakes, some birds of prey, and some giant sharks...

Six stone gates, choose any one.

Yi Yun thought for a moment before walking toward the stone gate of the three Giant Beasts.

At this moment, Yi Yun noticed that Zhou Kui was also heading towards the stone gate of the three Giant Beasts.

"Hey! The stone gate with the Three-headed Lion-Roc is one of the most difficult among the six stone gates of the Desolate God Hall!"

Zhou Kui clearly knew something about the Desolate God Hall, and his words stirred something in Yi Yun's heart.

Difficulty?

It seems this Training Ground is not such a simple place.

"Well, do you dare to compete with me? This Desolate God Hall is a place to test true skills; sneak attacks are useless here."

Zhou Kui shook his head and said sarcastically, clearly still harboring resentment over Yi Yun's sneak attack yesterday.

Zhou Kui considered it a disgrace to have been humiliated by Yi Yun, feeling that he had lost unjustly. This time, upon entering the Desolate God Hall, he wanted to get his revenge.

Zhou Kui was accompanied by several soldiers from the Zhou Kui Black Tortoise Legion, all of whom were his followers and brothers.

They quickly occupied the remaining sixteen spots at the Three-Headed Giant Beast Gate.

In an instant, apart from Yi Yun, a member of the Brocade Dragon Guard, all the people who entered through the gate of the three Giant Beasts were members of the Black Tortoise Legion!

These burly young men from the Black Tortoise Legion all looked at Yi Yun with amusement, as if they were a pack of wolves eyeing a lamb that had fallen into their den.

"Fighting is strictly prohibited within the Desolate God Hall; violators will face severe consequences!"

Noticing the smell of gunpowder in the air, the bald man gave a nonchalant instruction.

Fighting is normal in Tai'a Divine City, as long as it's not in places where fighting is prohibited. In other places, as long as no one is killed or maimed, it doesn't matter.

Therefore, the bald man would not interfere with the fighting among the trainees; on the contrary, he would condone it.

If the troops he led fought a battle and won, he would reward them; if they lost, he would punish them.

"These guys are like a swarm of flies, they've got their eyes on you!"

Xu Zheng, behind Yi Yun, transmitted his curses through his voice.

Yi Yun shrugged and casually said, "Whatever."

As he spoke, Yi Yun stepped towards the gate of the three Giant Beasts.

Zhou Kui smiled and followed.

The other members of the Black Tortoise Legion also rushed forward.

"Call out!"

A flash of white light. The stone door didn't even open; it simply sucked Yi Yun inside.

"Um?"

Yi Yun's vision blurred for a moment, then cleared. Before he could figure out what was happening, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. In the darkness, he felt as if he were being watched by some terrifying being. He felt an overwhelming pressure that he couldn't resist, enveloping him like mercury.

"What happened?"

Yi Yun looked in the direction from which the strange, immense pressure emanated. To his astonishment, he saw a colossal sculpture of a wild beast standing before him!

The sculpture is entirely black with a dark golden sheen. Its body resembles neither a lion nor a roc. It has three blue-faced beast heads with flowing fur. Purple lightning crackles in the eye sockets of each head. Behind it are three pairs of wings, each over ten feet long, as if it were about to take flight at any moment.

It exuded an inexplicable, vast pressure, making Yi Yun involuntarily feel insignificant.

Boom!

Suddenly, Yi Yun, who had been staring at the divine beast, felt as if thunder was ringing in his mind. Yi Yun swayed a few times, feeling a sense of suffocation throughout his body.

Just then, a voice entered Yi Yun's ears, "The Three-headed Lion-Roc sculpture was erected by the first city lord of Tai'a Divine City its inception. It is a true Ancient Remnant Species, cast by pouring in the molten gold of the Great Evolution Black Gold! This sculpture contains the pressure of Ancient Remnant Species and the true meaning left in the sculpture by the first city lord of Tai'a Divine City! How much you comprehend is entirely up to you."

Is this a sculpture made from the true Ancient Remnant Species, cast using the molten gold of the Great Evolution Black Gold?

The origin of the sculpture before him shocked Yi Yun. It was actually a true Ancient Remnant Species, no wonder it possessed such terrifying pressure!

Standing before the Three-headed Lion-Roc sculpture, Yi Yun felt breathless; the immense pressure made him almost want to kneel on the ground!

Yi Yun gritted his teeth and adjusted the weight of the Flowing Silver Shirt to the lowest setting, barely managing to keep up.

At that moment, white light flashed repeatedly beside Yi Yun, and one after another, members of the Black Tortoise Legion were teleported in.

The first one was naturally Zhou Kui. It must be said that Zhou Kui was indeed quite capable. Faced with the immense pressure of the Three-headed Lion-Roc, he only swayed slightly before regaining his footing.

As for the others, they were much worse off. Their strength was far inferior. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still overwhelmed by the overwhelming pressure. Their blood and qi surged, and they could hardly withstand it. One of the martial artists staggered and fell to the ground!

They can boast a lot outside, but when it comes to truly testing their abilities and character, it's not enough to just talk the talk!

"Useless!! Stop acting like a fucking sissy!"

Zhou Kui still had the energy to curse; he was indeed deeply entrenched in power. In fact, withstanding pressure was one of his strengths!

He grinned maliciously at Yi Yun: "Come on, let's have a contest and see who's more manly!"

Zhou Kui laughed heartily, exuding an air of boundless pride.

Yi Yun merely glanced at Zhou Kui without responding; he was deep in thought about everything within the Desolate God Hall.

The Desolate God Hall is not merely a place to withstand the pressure of the Ancient Remnant Species; the sage wisdom contained within the Ancient Remnant Species sculptures may be the more precious thing about this Training Ground.

While resisting the oppressive power of the Ancient Remnant Species, try to comprehend the true meaning of the sages!

The true meaning of sages is not so easy to comprehend, especially since these trainees are all newcomers with limited strength. They are already struggling to withstand the pressure, let alone calm their minds to comprehend the true meaning.

Even for Yi Yun, it wasn't easy; in just a short while, sweat had already beaded on his forehead.

As for Zhou Kui, he seemed to be a bit stronger than Yi Yun. The veins on his forehead were bulging, and his joints were cracking. His aura alone was quite astonishing.

Zhou Kui looked at Yi Yun and thought to himself, "This kid is more capable than I thought. He really has some skills; he's not just good at sneak attacks."

Zhou Kui was putting all his effort into competing with Yi Yun, so he kept a close eye on Yi Yun. Zhou Kui was very confident in his endurance and ability to withstand pressure. Even if he was not as good as Yi Yun at the beginning, he was confident that he could beat Yi Yun later. Moreover, he was stronger than Yi Yun from the start, and he completely won in the end.

Victory was something Zhou Kui had expected, and he wasn't particularly happy about it. He just wanted to see where Yi Yun's limits were.

However, Zhou Kui was unaware that Yi Yun at this moment had not focused on the competition at all; in fact, Yi Yun had treated Zhou Kui as if he were invisible from beginning to end.

Yi Yun was intently observing the Three-headed Lion-Roc sculpture in front of him.

"Ancient Remnant Species, this is the oppressive aura left behind by the Ancient Remnant Species. The strength of the Ancient Remnant Species surpasses that of the Human Race Hegemon. Even the elders of Tai'a Divine City dare not say they can definitely handle it. And the relics made from the body of the Ancient Remnant Species, once they fall into the world, are enough to stir up a bloodbath! Even Human Race Sage would want to obtain them to nourish their bodies and at the same time comprehend the laws contained within the Ancient Remnant Species relics."

"The name of this Ancient Remnant Species is indeed well-deserved!"

This was the first time Yi Yun had ever seen a true Ancient Remnant Species, even though it was sealed within the Great Evolution True Gold.

Is it possible...?

From the moment Yi Yun entered the Desolate God Hall and saw the Three-headed Lion-Roc sculpture, an uncontrollable thought arose in his mind, a thought that made him breathe rapidly.

He closed his eyes and concentrated, allowing his consciousness to enter a state of emptiness. He connected his spiritual power with the Origin Purple Crystal in his heart, and then, Yi Yun suddenly opened his eyes!

Yi Yun's vision had turned into a vast expanse of white, and the three Giant Beast sculptures in front of Yi Yun began to glow with white light.

Yi Yun felt that his spiritual power, attached to the Purple Crystal, was slowly connecting with the Ancient Remnant Species sculpture in front of him.

The Great Evolution True Gold, which sealed the Ancient Remnant Species, prevented Yi Yun's spiritual power from penetrating it.

This Great Evolution True Gold is a magical metal. It is naturally endowed with the property of absorbing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. If it is used to seal the body of the Ancient Remnant Species, then after millions of years, the energy contained in the Ancient Remnant Species will not only not decrease, but will continue to increase and become more and more refined!

The true forms of these Three-headed Lion-Roc before us actually contain more energy and are of greater value than when the Tai'a Divine City was first established.

The six Ancient Remnant Species sculptures in the Desolate God Hall can be considered the treasures of Tai'a Divine City!

This is also thanks to the Great Evolution True Gold. The characteristic of the Great Evolution True Gold is that it makes it easy for energy to enter but difficult for it to leave; it can be said that it only takes in and never takes out.

Unfortunately, although the Great Evolution True Gold has the miraculous effect of nurturing and nourishing the true Ancient Remnant Species, it takes too long.

Tens of thousands or even millions of years would pass by, and even Human Race Sage would grow old and die. They simply cannot afford to wait. Only a super power like the Tai'a Divine Kingdom can pass it down from generation to generation. At the same time, it relies on a super fortress like the Tai'a Divine City to protect the safety of the true body of the Ancient Remnant Species. Otherwise, it would have been stolen long ago!

Yi Yun is now going against the characteristics of the Great Evolution True Gold, doing the opposite of what is expected.

He adjusted his breathing, focused intently, and little by little, relying on the Purple Crystal's absolute control over energy, drew energy from the Great Evolution True Gold!

Gradually, the central head of the three-headed Giant Beast shone brighter and brighter, and more and more energy gathered from all directions of the three-headed Giant Beast sculpture to the center of the central head's brow, as if it were about to burst out of its shell.

When this energy condensed to its maximum, a ball of light the size of a pigeon egg struggled to emerge from the Great Evolution Black Gold, slowly drifting out and flying towards Yi Yun under the pull of the Purple Crystal.

Upon seeing the ball of light, Yi Yun was overjoyed!

It worked!
