Su Yuntao Descends Upon the Renegade Immortal World!

"When we soul beasts cultivate to one hundred thousand years, we must face a heavenly tribulation; if we cannot withstand it, we die."

"If even we cannot attain eternal life, by what right could the people of that world do so?"

Da Ming looked at Er Ming, a trace of contemplation appearing in his eyes.

"Perhaps, there really are worlds beyond this world."

"If there are beasts in that Renegade Immortal World, I wonder how their strength compares to us hundred-thousand-year soul beasts?"

Hearing Da Ming's question, Er Ming let out a disdainful snort and patted his sturdy chest.

"Big Brother, forget about that Renegade Immortal World!"

"If they dare to come here, I'll smash them into pulp with a single punch!"

"The rules of our Star Dou Great Forest were carved out by strength, after all."

Da Ming did not speak again, merely watching the sky screen in silence.

However, he had a persistent premonition that the peace of this world would soon be shattered.

Just as the various factions across the Douluo Continent were speculating and debating, the quarter-hour mark finally arrived.

Immediately after, that grand voice resonated in everyone's minds right on cue.

[Countdown ended!]

[Beginning random selection of explorers for this Renegade Immortal World!]

The light on the sky screen began to flicker violently, and countless images flashed by like flowing water.

Everyone held their breath, eyes fixed on the sky without blinking.

Swish!

Soon, the first image came to a halt.

In the frame appeared a young man with a dark complexion, holding a hoe in his hand.

He was dressed in coarse linen clothes, standing in a field, staring at the sky with a look of utter astonishment, a yellow ox grazing beside him.

[Explorer One: Heaven Dou Empire commoner, Li Tie, no soul power.]

Seeing this, countless soul masters could not help but sigh.

Such a precious opportunity had actually fallen to an ordinary commoner who didn't even possess soul power.

Immediately after, the second image froze.

This time, it showed a young man wearing a Spirit Hall uniform. The badge on his chest was engraved with a large "Soul" character; he was fairly handsome, with a hint of arrogance between his brows.

[Explorer Two: Spirit Hall deacon, Su Yuntao, level 26 Great Soul Master.]

As soon as the image appeared, many in Spirit Hall recognized him.

"It's actually that kid Su Yuntao; his luck is truly not bad."

Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang's lips curled into a smug smile once again as he watched.

"You see, I was right."

"This selection process has no logic to it at all; even a Great Soul Master can be chosen."

"If this were a true trial of fortune, how could it not select those geniuses?" Yu Xiaogang lectured Tang San and the others.

On the sky screen, the third image also quickly came to a stop.

To everyone's surprise, what appeared in the frame this time was not a human.

It was a dark, damp forest, where a massive black spider over three meters in size was perched on a giant web.

The white patterns on its abdomen combined to look like a hideous human face.

[Explorer Three: Star Dou Great Forest outskirts, thousand-year Human-Faced Demon Spider.]

Seeing that even a soul beast could be selected, the entire continent erupted in an uproar.

The scope of this selection truly covered every living creature.

[Selection complete, teleportation beginning!]

[Live broadcast synchronization initiated!]

As the voice faded, three dazzling pillars of light descended from the sky screen, instantly enveloping Li Tie, Su Yuntao, and the Human-Faced Demon Spider.

The next second, the light pillars dissipated, and the three explorers vanished directly from the Douluo Continent.

The massive light screen in the sky split into three, transforming into three distinct live broadcast perspectives.

Everyone on the Douluo Continent looked up at the sky, eager to see what this "Renegade Immortal World," which had been hyped up to be so miraculous, was actually like.

Soon, the images gradually brightened, and the three individuals were transported to completely different locations.

However, of the three screens that had just split, two suddenly became blurred, as if obscured by some kind of power.

Only the screen on the far left remained, its display gradually brightening to reveal a clear image.

The people of Douluo Continent all focused their gazes on this single illuminated screen.

In the image, a commoner named Li Tie was gripping his hoe tightly, his legs trembling uncontrollably.

He had been transported into a primeval forest where ancient trees towered into the sky.

The trees here were absurdly tall, with every one reaching dozens of meters in height, their thick trunks covered in moss.

The air was filled with a rich, refreshing fragrance. Li Tie took only a few deep breaths before the exhaustion from a morning of farm work vanished, and his body felt as if it were brimming with inexhaustible strength.

"Is... is this a land of immortals?"

Li Tie swallowed hard, his nervous state calming slightly.

He plucked up the courage to take two steps forward, scanning his surroundings. Soon, his gaze was drawn to a plant in the grass ahead.

It was a plant shaped like a morning glory, but its petals emitted a faint red glow; it was clearly no ordinary item.

Li Tie didn't know anything about heavenly treasures, but he knew that if he brought this glowing thing back to Heaven Dou Empire, it would surely fetch a high price—enough to keep him well-fed and clothed for the rest of his life.

At this thought, the fear in Li Tie's eyes was gradually replaced by greed.

He hurried forward, crouched down, and reached out his rough hand, intending to pull the flower out by its roots.

Just as his fingers were about to touch the petals, a gray shadow darted out from behind a nearby tree.

The speed was too fast!

Many Spirit Masters at the Spirit Grandmaster level on Douluo Continent couldn't even see what it was.

Li Tie only felt a blur before his eyes, followed by a sharp, piercing pain in his chest.

He lowered his head and stared blankly at his own chest.

A fist-sized hole had been torn open there, and blood was gushing out like a fountain.

Only then did the gray shadow land on a rock a few meters away.

It was actually a gray-furred rabbit, no larger than a wild dog.

However, the rabbit's eyes were blood-red, and a sharp, single horn grew from its forehead, dripping with warm blood.

Li Tie didn't even have time to let out a scream before his body collapsed to the ground, devoid of all life.

This was the first blood spilled by an explorer of the Renegade Immortal World.

In less than half an incense stick of time, a living man was gone just like that.

With Li Tie's death, his screen instantly turned gray-white before slowly dissipating into the sky.

This scene caused a brief outburst of gasps across the entire Douluo Continent.

Many commoners turned pale with fright, their legs going weak.

They had just been fantasizing about seeking fortune in that world, but now it seemed like a living hell.

Within Heaven Dou City, many nobles also frowned, finding the scene somewhat gruesome.

However, to those high-and-mighty Spirit Masters, Li Tie's death did not warrant much attention.

On the playground of Shrek Academy, Ma Hongjun patted his chest and curled his lips, saying, "I thought it was some formidable monster; it turned out to be just a rabbit with a horn. That Li Tie was just too unlucky."

Hearing this, Dai Mubai couldn't help but sneer from the side, "Exactly. An ordinary person without even a shred of spirit power is naturally doomed when encountering such a beast."

"If it were me, a single White Tiger Intense Light Wave would have roasted that rabbit to a crisp."

Listening to the students' discussion, Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, looking relaxed and wearing an "I told you so" expression.

"Everyone, quiet down."

Yu Xiaogang cleared his throat, and the surrounding teachers and students turned to look at him.

He raised a finger and pointed at the sky, saying, "You all saw it just now."

"That so-called Renegade Immortal World has nothing special about it."

"As for that rabbit, at best, it is merely a low-level spirit beast of about a hundred years."

"It is perfectly logical for Li Tie, a commoner with no strength to truss a chicken, to be killed by a wild beast."

Having said this, Yu Xiaogang let out another cold snort. "The sky made such a grand display, yet the monsters inside are only of this caliber."

"This precisely proves my deduction: this talk of a high-dimensional immortal world is pure exaggeration!"

Hearing this, Tang San, who was standing nearby, nodded thoughtfully. "Teacher is right."

"Although that rabbit was fast, as long as I activate my Purple Demon Eye in advance and coordinate it with my Shadowless Needle, I could definitely kill it before it gets close."

Upon hearing these confident words, the members of Shrek finally relaxed.

After all, in their eyes, this Renegade Immortal World was nothing more than a slightly larger outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest; there was absolutely nothing to fear.

Just as the people of the Douluo Continent were discussing the matter, the light screen in the sky changed once again.

As the image of Li Tie faded away, the previously blurred screen in the center began to brighten.

The perspective of the second explorer, Spirit Hall deacon and level twenty-six Great Spirit Master Su Yuntao, officially began.

In the image, Su Yuntao was standing on a path paved with bluestone steps.

This mountain path extended upward along the hillside, flanked by lush, towering ancient trees, with a faint mist drifting through the mountains that carried the fresh scent of vegetation.

This was the outskirts of the mountain gate of the Hengyue Sect, a cultivation sect in the Zhao State within the Renegade Immortal World.

The moment Su Yuntao was teleported over, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

He discovered that the energy contained in the air here was far richer than that of Spirit City.

After inhaling it into his body, he felt invigorated, and even the spirit power within him became somewhat more active.

This place is truly excellent; it seems to be a real treasure trove of geomancy.

Su Yuntao straightened his Spirit Hall uniform, which signified his status, and a confident smile appeared on his face.

Although he had been inside the pillar of light during the teleportation, he had vaguely heard some of the sky screen's rules.

He knew that he was currently being broadcast to the entire continent.

This was a golden opportunity to show off!

If he performed well, perhaps His Holiness the Pope would personally grant him an audience upon his return, offering him a promotion and a raise.

Thinking of this, Su Yuntao straightened his back and began to walk up the steps.

Just then, the sound of light footsteps came from above the stairs.

Su Yuntao looked up and saw two young men in white robes walking down the steps.

These two youths looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with refined features and ordinary wooden swords strapped to their backs.

Su Yuntao used his spirit power to sense them.

He discovered that there was absolutely no fluctuation of spirit power from these two youths.

"Two ordinary people?"
