Walking Alone in the Divine Desolation

For the trial participants of Tai'a Divine City, hunting wild beasts in the Divine Wilderness is a major event. A single training session often lasts for more than half a month. Such a long trip requires various preparations.

Solo wilderness survival isn't just about physical strength; it also requires various skills and knowledge of wilderness survival.

Before setting off, Yi Yun not only gave him the Space Ring that the Four Little Tyrants of the Capital had given him, but he also spent 50,000 Dragon Scale Rune to buy a Space Ring with a larger capacity.

Next, Yi Yun spent a day purchasing various supplies.

These include Bone Relic, healing medicines, life-saving array plates, spare weapons, and so on.

Yi Yun also bought a detailed map of the area near Tai'a Divine City and spent some time familiarizing himself with the terrain of the Divine Wilderness, learning about every kind of wild beast he might encounter, their strength, weaknesses, and habits...

All these preparations must be done perfectly, because 99 percent of the trial participants who die each year in Tai'a Divine City die on the way to the Divine Wilderness Trial. As for those who die accidentally in the arena, they are very few.

Often, seemingly insignificant pieces of knowledge can save lives.

Yi Yun heard that just a few days ago, a three-person trial team was wiped out because they mistook the Heart-Piercing Snake for the Golden Thread Snake.

Both snakes are golden in color and over two meters long, with almost no difference in appearance. However, the Heart-Piercing Snake is more than ten times stronger than the Golden Thread Snake, and it possesses deadly venom. Even a martial artist who has just entered the Origin Foundation Realm will die from the poison within five breaths if bitten.

The Heart-Piercing Snake and the Golden Thread Snake cannot be distinguished by their appearance. The only difference between the two is their habits. When the Golden Thread Snake moves, its body sways from side to side, leaving a curved path, while the Heart-Piercing Snake moves in a straight line.

Many of the trial participants in Tai'a Divine City died not only because of insufficient strength, but also because they were too careless.

Although Yi Yun's current strength is not bad, he is still far behind the top-ranked trial participants on the Earth Ranking. Even the top-ranked trial participants may die on the way to the trial, so Yi Yun must be careful.

Yi Yun did not team up; he underwent the trial alone, which significantly increased the risks of the trial.

On this day, the sky was clear and the sun shone brightly, with fluffy white clouds dotting the sky. Yi Yun, carrying all the items he had prepared beforehand, set off for the Divine Desolation Training.

In the past, Yi Yun had also left Tai'a Divine City to gather herbs at Gengzi Medicine Mountain, but at those times, he always went through a teleportation array.

But today, Yi Yun intends to leave Tai'a Divine City directly through the main gate.

Reaching the city gate of Tai'a Divine City, Yi Yun looked down at the desolate land below from ten thousand meters in the air.

The boundless wilderness merged with the sky, majestic and ancient.

Thick iron chains, as thick as water buckets, hung from the massive rock pillars that formed the foundation of the Tai'a Divine City, stretching all the way down to the vast plains ten thousand meters below.

This is the road from Tai'a Divine City to the Divine Wilderness. To defend against the Beast Tide, the road into Tai'a Divine City is an absolute natural barrier. One man can hold the pass against ten thousand.

Yi Yun took a deep breath, leaped up, and landed lightly on the iron chain.

Then, Yi Yun used a sturdy rope to suspend himself on the iron chain, holding onto the two ends of the rope with both hands. Under the force of gravity, Yi Yun slid down.

From an altitude of 10,000 meters, it plunges downwards almost in freefall, relying solely on a single rope.

Yi Yun could hear the whistling wind in his ears and see the ancient, wild land getting closer and closer.

The Divine Wilderness has existed for countless years. Within it lie countless secret treasures and the remains of countless brilliant talents...

Now, Yi Yun is going to explore this land on his own two feet.

"Boom!"

Yi Yun landed on both feet, and due to the extreme speed, Yi Yun feet sank into the ground, kicking up a cloud of dirt and dust.

Looking out over the desolate plains, there are sparse grasslands, black fields, exposed rocks, and ancient, vigorous trees stretching all the way to the distant horizon.

Yi Yun locked onto a direction and started running.

When martial artists run through the Divine Wilderness, they need to choose a suitable speed. It's not a matter of physical strength, but because if they run too fast, they won't have time to detect the wild beasts lurking in the surrounding environment. If they are not vigilant enough, they will be ambushed by wild beasts.

In the history of Tai'a Divine City, there were many instances of people running too fast and ending up in the dens of wild beasts, never to be seen again.

However, we can't run too slowly either. The Divine Wilderness is too vast. If we're too slow, even after spending a lot of time, we can only explore a small part of the area, and we'll miss many opportunities.

After running at a normal speed for several dozen miles, Yi Yun suddenly increased his speed. At the same time, Yi Yun also activated the Purple Crystal Energy Vision.

In the Energy Vision, all energy bodies will return to their origin, leaving no place to hide.

With the Purple Crystal present, Yi Yun didn't need to be too distracted or on guard.

There are hardly any wild beasts to hunt around Tai'a Divine City. The powerful wild beasts, intimidated by the power of Tai'a Divine City, have long since fled far away.

Yi Yun's target was Falling Star Abyss. Legend has it that tens of millions of years ago, a huge star burning with scorching Yang Flame fell from the sky and crashed into the Divine Wilderness, breaking a mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles in half and creating a huge abyss.

This abyss is the Falling Star Abyss!

When the stars fell to earth, the Yang Flame that swept across the Divine Wilderness burned countless powerful wild beasts to death. If one were near the epicenter of the explosion, even Ancient Remnant Species would not survive and would be instantly reduced to ashes!

Tens of millions of years have passed, and the destruction caused by that fallen star has long been repaired. However, the Falling Star Abyss still stands like a huge scar across the Divine Wilderness.

That star has already merged with Falling Star Abyss. Although the Yang Flame that swept through the Divine Wilderness has been extinguished, seven-colored Yang Flame still burns deep within Falling Star Abyss, and the Yang energy from millions of miles around gathers here!

Therefore, a large number of pure Yang type wild beasts also gathered in Falling Star Abyss.

When Yi Yun cultivated the <Myriad Beast Catalog>, his first attribute choice was Pure Yang.

Falling Star Abyss became Yi Yun's first target.

However, with Yi Yun's current strength, he did not dare to truly venture deep into the Falling Star Abyss. He only hunted wild beasts on the outskirts of the Falling Star Abyss to condense Dharma Aspect Totem.

The wind whistled past his ears Yi Yun sped away without touching the ground.

After passing through vast wilderness, a grassland stretched ahead, the grass reaching waist-high. This grass was called the Cold Star Grass.

The blades of the Cold Star Grass are perpetually covered with icy dew. This dew is far below freezing, yet it does not freeze. Ordinary people who try to cross the Cold Star Grass plain will be frozen stiff after just a few steps.

Yi Yun gathered his vital energy, his blood and qi circulated within his body, and heat emanated from his body.

He rushed into the grassland of the Cold Star Grass. The glistening dewdrops shone brightly in the sunlight, gradually wetting Yi Yun's body. However, Yi Yun only felt a chill on his skin, which did not affect his movements at all.

With his perfectly fluid Movement Technique and the Energy Vision of the Purple Crystal, Yi Yun moved through complex terrain like an eagle soaring into the sky or a python lurking in wait.

Along the way, Yi Yun also encountered some wild beasts, such as Ghost Python lurking ten meters underground in the wilderness, and Three-Spotted Tiger crawling on a mountaintop. Yi Yun detected these in time with the Energy Vision of the Purple Crystal and avoided them early on.

Yi Yun's purpose for this trip was very clear: to hunt down pure Yang type wild beasts, absorb their Pure Yang Power and beast blood, and condense Dharma Aspect Totem.

Along the way, Yi Yun would not stop unless he encountered a wild beast of great value.

The Falling Star Abyss was extremely far away. Yi Yun proceeded cautiously and stealthily. When the setting sun on the horizon was completely swallowed up and the stars spread out across the sky, Yi Yun had no choice but to stop.

He arrived at a bare field, where the night wind blew small pebbles, constantly breaking the cold silence of the night.

The night in the desolate wilderness is even more dangerous, Yi Yun needs to conserve his strength through sleep and meditation.

Holding the Thousand Army Saber, Yi Yun quickly dug a pit large enough for one person to sleep in, carefully laying soft, comfortable hay at the bottom.

Although martial artists are physically strong, the desolate wilderness is covered with many Cold Star Grass, and the night dew is deep and cold, which inevitably has a certain impact on the martial artist's body, causing unnecessary loss of qi and blood.

Around the pit, Yi Yun dug traps in several places and placed triangular array plates.

Each array plate is no bigger than a fist, but it contains a small amount of explosive energy. These are the "Detonation Array Disk" that many martial artists from Tai'a Divine City must carry when they go to the Divine Wilderness for training.

This "Detonation Array Disk" cannot kill wild beasts, but it can serve as a warning. It should be noted that when martial artists are meditating or sleeping, their perception of their surroundings decreases, while some wild beasts are masters of stealth. Many trial participants have been ambushed and killed while sleeping or meditating.

Sleep and meditation are indispensable. If you keep a nerve taut and alert to your surroundings for a long time, you will become mentally exhausted and your combat power will drop significantly, even without wild beasts to kill you.

Therefore, in many cases, these inexpensive and cost-effective "Detonation Array Disk" have a miraculous life-saving effect.

After setting up the "Detonation Array Disk", Yi Yun took out a cloth bag from his Space Ring and sprinkled all the powder inside onto the array.

This is the excrement powder of King-level Savage Beast. This powder emits a special odor that only wild beasts can smell, causing other wild beasts to mistakenly believe that this is the territory of a King-level Savage Beast, and thus dare not come.

After removing two layers of protective cloth, Yi Yun, with the Thousand Army Saber hanging at his waist, wearing fine scale armor, and carrying the Great Cang Bow on his back, curled up into the pit.

Always carrying a weapon is a habit that martial artists must develop when hunting wild beasts, so that they can quickly enter combat mode at any time and place should there be any disturbance.

Above the Divine Wilderness, every step is fraught with danger; no amount of caution is excessive.

However, even with everything arranged perfectly, there's still no guarantee that everything will go smoothly...
