Is Ice Block in Danger? Trial: One Man's Success Leaves Ten Thousand Bones to Rot!

After stepping through the glowing portal.

[Name: Ying Bing]

[Age: 16]

[Root Bone: Lunar Phoenix Physique]

[Realm: Inner Breath Jade Liquid Realm]

[Destiny: Red (Born with imperial bones, possessing the life force of Xuanbing, the spirit of Qiushui, and the appearance of Phoenix Heaven)]

[Evaluation: Though fate has brought many tribulations, it has always managed to turn misfortune into good fortune. Its wings are not yet fully grown, but when the times change, it will surely soar high in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a phoenix descending upon the Six Harmonies and Eight Desolations.]

[Recent Encounter: Failed to seize the Blood Phoenix Essence, and will be severely injured upon entering the third level of the secret realm.]

"!!?"

Standing at the entrance to the secret realm, Li Mo's pupils trembled slightly.

Is there anything wrong with the system?

The highest level in this secret realm is only the Divine Observation Realm.

Will she fail, and even be seriously injured?

"Ice..."

Before he could finish uttering a single word...

The crimson light at the entrance to the secret realm suddenly surged, engulfing everyone at the entrance.

The crimson light resembled countless bubbles.

He led the group through boundless darkness and then placed them in different locations.

When I opened my eyes again, it felt as if I were on an ancient battlefield.

This world is vast and boundless. The sky is so dark it looks like it has been crying. The wind is chilling, and it seems as if lonely ghosts are wailing, sending shivers down one's spine.

It seems that a very fierce battle once took place here.

Before the battle, this place resembled a forest, but now only countless dark, withered branches remain, silently stretching their claws towards the sky.

"The Blood Phoenix Secret Realm is not a benevolent place."

Li Mo sensed the Karmic Fire stirring within his Dantian.

Such a reaction only occurs when Karmic Fire is directed at extremely inauspicious places or extremely vicious people.

Under normal circumstances.

As long as she doesn't pull out her hammer, Ying Bing should have no rivals in this secret realm.

In other words, other unforeseen events occurred.

Moreover, this change is most likely related to the secret realm itself?

Click--

Li Mo pondered for a moment, then stepped on a piece of animal bone, crushing it with a crunch.

"The spiritual energy here is much more abundant than outside?"

"Could it be because of that... Blood Phoenix Essence?"

That's what I was thinking.

Suddenly, the sky trembled, and the previously dim stars shone brightly.

On the boundless Sky Screen, huge characters with iron-like strokes and silver hooks appeared, visible to everyone.

Heaven and earth are ruthless, treating all things like straw dogs.

To achieve mastery of martial arts, one man's success is built upon the bones of countless others!

[Secret Realm Level 1 Trial: Kill.]

The top 50 are eligible to advance to the next level.

The words on the Sky Screen were few, but each one carried a chilling killing intent.

The message is quite concise and to the point.

Hunt exotic beasts and collect Beast Token.

Only those ranked in the top fifty are qualified to continue exploring the next level.

Everyone reading these words felt a tightness in their chest.

This document describes hunting exotic beasts, but there are specific limits on the number of animals that can be hunted.

What about those who are not among the fifty?

Killing a beast only yields one Beast Token, but killing a person might not...

These multiple rules undoubtedly turned this place into a dark forest, where one must not only hunt exotic beasts but also be wary of human nature.

Upon entering the secret realm, everyone was deliberately separated to prevent them from sticking together.

Splash--

The Sky Screen changed again.

A list of names appeared, but only the first fifty.

Clearly, those who ultimately leave their names at the top will gain the qualification to enter the next level.

"Once you're on this list, you're bound to become the target of everyone's criticism."

"Let's get things done first."

Li Mo took out a small notebook from his pocket.

He wasn't in a hurry to hunt the Beast Token. The fortuitous opportunity in the secret realm were dispensable to him; he only needed to be able to enter the next level in the end.

Return on investment is the most important thing.

That's what Li Mo thought.

However, things didn't go as planned, and he didn't stay long.

The bones on the ground suddenly moved without wind and pieced together to form a complete skeleton of a strange beast, which looked like a bear-like creature.

A crimson light emanated from its hollow eye sockets, gazing at Li Mo with a longing for life and flesh.

"His aura is roughly at the Profound Pill Realm."

"Moreover, they lack flesh and blood, making them even more difficult to deal with than ordinary Profound Pill Realm. If their numbers increase, they could also threaten the Divine Observation Realm."

Li Mo was calculating the strength of the Bone Bear.

Rumble--

The ground trembled; the enemy had already pounced.

Wherever it passed, it was like a raging storm, crushing the bluestone stones in its path to dust.

With a single palm strike, a sound like thunder and lightning arose, its power terrifying.

However, it landed heavily on the ground but did not hit anything.

The tiny creature in its eyes had disappeared without it even noticing.

"Hmph."

"Merely at the Profound Pill Realm, take this sword strike!"

The Crimson Firmament was drawn from its sheath, ringing out with a clear, resonant sound. Its light, like a soaring dragon, swept across the darkness, illuminating dozens of meters of blackness.

Have you ever witnessed a Swordsmanship that descends from the sky?

Li Mo's Swordsmanship is quite formidable now.

Although he doesn't possess monstrous swordsmanship talent, our Little Li has been influenced by both Ice Block and Princess Little Jiang.

It's like doing practice problems every day.

In my past life, I was a test-taker in a small town.

He can be called the strongest swordsman in the town!

Laugh--

Driven by Karmic Fire, the Higher Vehicle Swordsmanship unleashed a power beyond its own capabilities.

Crackling and popping--

Dozens of sword lights crisscrossed each other.

The Bone Bear's body suddenly froze, then exploded in a dazzling burst of fire.

Li Mo landed with the Crimson Firmament Sword in his arms, expressionless, without even looking back at the explosion.

He just silently thought to himself:

"Shaogang, Shaogang is awesome!"

At once...

It's even more fun than playing the carefree, wind-loving Li Bai; it's more enjoyable to show off your skills.

"I'm just a little boy who loves to show off."

After criticizing himself, Li Mo gripped his sword in his right hand, touched the hammer under his clothes with his left, and walked into the darkness.

At the same time.

In front of a deep, secluded cave.

The girl was surrounded by rosy clouds, her black hair danced lightly, and the moisture in the air condensed into crystal-clear flakes that slowly drifted down.

The rosy hue, carried by her Internal Breath, flowed slowly in all directions.

"The Blood Phoenix Essence is indeed not on the first level of the secret realm."

"I need to go to the next floor."

Ying Bing opened her eyes, her clear, serene gaze seemingly piercing through the void.

She raised the Heavenly Frost Sword, its jade-colored blade pointing into the cave.

The darkness inside the cave seemed impenetrable even to light, and echoed with hissing sounds.

Rustling sound --

There were countless enormous White Bone Bat, numbering in the dozens. The weaker ones emitted fluctuations of the Inner Breath Jade Liquid Realm, while the strongest skeletal bat carried a faint, eerie light and was still close to the Divine Observation.

These White Bone Bat all had a name in their lives:

Night Ghost.

For a moment, ghostly figures loomed before the cave.

But the next moment...

The dazzling colors of the sunset spread out.

At this time.

The rankings in the sky have also changed.

One name quickly rose to the top spot.

Top spot: Ying Bing, number of Beast Token acquired: 27.

A chorus of astonished and bewildered voices rose and fell within the secret realm.

"How long has it been? She's already hunted down twenty-seven strange beasts?"

"That speed... could it have been a lucky find, picked up from the roadside?"

"Note that she didn't rise through the ranks one by one; she suddenly became the top spot."

"So, she killed so many Bone Beasts in an instant?!"
