Ancient Relic

Having successfully slain the Ancient Savage Beast, Yi Yun breathed a sigh of relief. The sense of accomplishment he felt was quite strong, as everything had unfolded as he had anticipated and he had successfully killed the Ancient Savage Beast according to his plan.

At this moment, the energy rain that the Ancient Savage Beast had created after disappearing continued to fall around Yi Yun. These layers of light rain enveloped Yi Yun, making him look like a god descending to earth.

The young talents around, whether they had crossed the bridge of light or not, were all dumbfounded by what they saw.

Just moments ago, many of them were still planning how to torture and kill Yi Yun after his defeat, in exchange for the Shentu Family's reward.

But reality slapped them hard in the face!

Some of them barely managed to survive on the bridge of light for the time it takes for An Incense Stick to burn, despite being severely injured. Even so, they were still complacent about their achievement. As for the rest, they failed the trial altogether, either being swept away by Ancient Savage Beast or giving up before even stepping onto the bridge of light.

Then look at Yi Yun, the "unlucky guy" they wanted to torture and kill. He came to the bridge of light and actually... shot the Ancient Savage Beast to death with a single arrow!

This is the difference between heaven and earth, it's simply outrageous!

Is this kid even human?

People swallowed hard, feeling a wave of fear wash over them. They were all grateful that there were rules protecting them in the Empress Secret Realm; otherwise, it probably wouldn't have been them torturing and killing Yi Yun, but Yi Yun torturing and killing them!

Of everyone present, Lin Yu and the young man from the Shentu Family reacted the most strongly.

Lin Yu was completely distraught; his face was deathly pale, as if he had lost his parents.

Previously, he had always compared himself to Yi Yun. However, when Yi Yun was appreciated by the Lin Family Old Matriarch and showed unparalleled talent in the Savage Heaven Technique, martial arts and actual combat became the only place where Lin Yu could find a sense of superiority in front of Yi Yun. After all, in the Tianyuan Realm, strength is the only truth. The person with the strongest Savage Heaven Technique in the Tianyuan Realm must not have a higher status than the person with the strongest strength.

But now, Lin Yu's only sense of superiority has been completely shattered. His Savage Heaven Technique is inferior to Yi Yun's, his backing is inferior to Yi Yun's, and now even his strength is inferior to Yi Yun's!

As a direct descendant of a prominent family, he was utterly humiliated by a country bumpkin from the Eastern Barbarians region. The impact of this on Lin Yu was unimaginable!

Just as Lin Yu was on the verge of collapse, Yi Yun suddenly vanished from his sight.

He unleashed his Movement Technique, shooting towards a certain spot like an arrow, and in the blink of an eye, he was a hundred meters away.

Huh? What's he doing?

People were stunned, still reeling from Yi Yun's slaying of the Ancient Savage Beast, and hadn't reacted yet.

"Pick up the arrow?"

A boy was stunned for a moment. He looked at Yi Yun with puzzlement as he picked up an arrow from a hundred meters away. It was the same Chasing Wind Arrows that Yi Yun had shot earlier.

Do they have to retrieve every single arrow they've shot? Are they that poor?

The Chasing Wind Arrows that Yi Yun used was naturally a top-grade arrow in the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, but from the perspective of the Tianyuan Realm, it was definitely not a good arrow.

Yi Yun is not poor now, especially after he robbed Shentu Nantian and Granny Thousand Hands. Among the teenagers, he can be said to be rolling in money.

Yi Yun wouldn't care about a single Chasing Wind Arrows. He deliberately flew this far to pick Chasing Wind Arrows up, not for the arrow itself, but for... the crystal inside the Ancient Savage Beast!

After Yi Yun killed the Ancient Savage Beast, there was chaos. People were shocked by the death of the Ancient Savage Beast and no one noticed that such a crystal had been ejected from the body of the Ancient Savage Beast. Even if they did notice it, they did not have Yi Yun's Energy Vision and could hardly tell what was unusual about the crystal.

Now, under the guise of picking up the arrow, Yi Yun used his body as cover to secretly store the crystal that had fallen far away into his Space Ring without anyone noticing.

The moment Yi Yun put the crystal away, he saw clearly that it was a crystal only the size of a thumbnail, and it looked like a Savage Bone Relic refined using a special secret method.

In the world of martial arts, the Savage Bone Relic is the most effective energy source, which can be used to support large formations, power spirit boats, and so on.

The Ancient Empress who created the Empress Secret Realm would undoubtedly have left behind a large number of Savage Bone Relic within the Empress Secret Realm.

In order to prevent the energy within the Savage Bone Relic from slowly dissipating, the grand formation within the Empress Secret Realm must possess the ability to gather the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to nourish the Savage Bone Relic.

The great vortex of the God Burying Abyss would naturally draw in endless Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi. Under the nourishment of this Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, the numerous Savage Bone Relic in the Empress Secret Realm might become increasingly pure and of higher quality!

Under these circumstances, Yi Yun certainly wouldn't miss this Savage Bone Relic.

"After all, they're from the land of the Eastern Barbarians; they can't shake their petty nature, unwilling to even throw away a low-quality arrow."

The young man from the Shentu Family gritted his teeth and said that although Yi Yun had killed a terrifying wild beast that even Gongsun Hong could not defeat with a single arrow, which shocked the young man from Shentu, he would still try every opportunity to smear Yi Yun, which was only human nature.

From a distance of a hundred meters, Yi Yun seemed to sense something. He chuckled softly and gave Shen Tu the boy a deep look.

That one glance made the young Shentu turn pale, and he subconsciously took a step back.

After killing that Ancient Savage Beast, Yi Yun exuded an overwhelming sense of oppression.

"This kid!" The young man from Shentu swallowed hard, his voice trembling slightly.

"There must be some mistake!" he thought bitterly, unable to believe that Yi Yun was not only a genius of the Savage Heaven Technique, but also a martial arts genius.

Just then, a divine light descended from the sky!

This divine light was seven-colored, somewhat similar to the divine light that had previously shone on Gongsun Hong, but the colors were even more dazzling, and the intensity of the divine light was many times stronger!

"That is... the Emperor's Mark!"

People gasped in surprise, their hearts filled with envy and jealousy.

Yi Yun passed the initial trial so easily, even more perfectly than Gongsun Hong, so how could he not obtain the Emperor's Mark?

Divine light condensed on Yi Yun's arm, forming tattoos.

These tattoos are arranged closely together, one after another, like beautiful scales.

"This..."

People stared at Yi Yun's arm, their eyes wide.

Are these really the Emperor's Mark? There are so many!

Gongsun Hong bears only one Emperor's Mark.

And now, the Emperor's Mark is appearing almost one after another on Yi Yun's arm!

This made many young talents present hold their breath. In just a few breaths, there were already more than twenty, and it didn't seem to be over yet. The difference was too great!

Yi Yun's trial was certainly better than Gongsun Hong's, but the difference shouldn't be so huge.

"About thirty!"

People's mouths twitched as they looked at the beautiful Emperor Mark on Yi Yun's arm, wishing they could possess it for themselves. Unfortunately, the Emperor's Mark could only be used by the person who created it, and even if others could cut off Yi Yun's arm, it would be useless.

Among the crowd, Gongsun Hong stared at Yi Yun's arm, his face ashen.

He only had one Emperor's Mark, which was originally his pride, but now, compared to Yi Yun, this Emperor's Mark had become his irony and shame!

Gongsun Hong was always the center of attention, but in the Empress Secret Realm, he was completely outshone by Yi Yun.

He was the one who proposed the idea that Ancient Savage Beast were invincible, and he followed this rule, seemingly passing the trial perfectly.

But his perfection didn't last long before it was ruthlessly shattered by Yi Yun.

The vast difference in the number of Emperor's Mark shows that he could only barely pass the trial; only Yi Yun truly passed it perfectly!

This setback made Gongsun Hong, who was proud and used to being applauded, feel very uncomfortable.

"Unexpectedly, the Ancient Savage Beast's weakness was in its mouth. This kid is incredibly lucky; he hit the Ancient Savage Beast's weak spot with a single arrow, killing it instantly."

"If I knew where this weakness was, killing this Ancient Savage Beast would be much easier; a single Sword Qi would suffice!"

Gongsun Hong was unwilling to be trampled on by Yi Yun like this, and said in a low voice.

He refused to believe that Yi Yun's attack power could surpass his own, and in fact, the arrow Yi Yun had shot earlier seemed quite ordinary.

This can only mean that Yi Yun was lucky; he shot an arrow at the Ancient Savage Beast's weak point and happened to kill it.
