Entering the Void God Realm

There were descendants of kings and nobles, as well as offspring of Pure-Blooded Creatures. Li Dao had certainly had his eyes opened.

Beside him, Chu Yang also found the scene before them fascinating and nudged Li Dao with his elbow.

"So this is the first level of the Void God Realm. There are so many creatures I've never seen before."

"I heard that breaking records in the Void God Realm earns you rewards. Do you have anything in mind, Brother Li?"

After speaking, Chu Yang received no answer from Li Dao.

Curious, he turned his head, only to find Li Dao crouching beside the passage into the Starting Ground, staring unblinkingly at the Treasure Bone embedded within it and muttering something under his breath.

"This is the passage Bear Child broke. I wonder how valuable the Treasure Bone inside is?"

"If I want to catch those factions' attention and get them to come looking for trouble, I could follow Bear Child's example."

Li Dao's eyes grew brighter and brighter as the plan in his mind rapidly took shape.

He had entered the Void God Realm for one thing alone: to find resources.

Where were resources most plentiful? Naturally, among those clans and factions. Who knew how much they had plundered and hoarded?

But he could not simply march up to their doors and deliberately provoke them. He needed a pretext.

Although everyone's cultivation was suppressed to the Blood Moving Realm on this first level, and he feared no one here.

If too many people came, however, they would still cause him some trouble.

While he was still planning his next move, Chu Yang had already come over to his side.

He saw Li Dao's eyes growing brighter as he stared at the passage into the Starting Ground, a strange smile playing at the corners of his mouth.

Chu Yang felt a little unnerved, but assumed Li Dao merely wanted the Treasure Bone and offered a word of advice:

"Brother Li, this Treasure Bone is protected by a formation. Taking it out is simply impossible."

"I've never heard of anyone managing to get the Treasure Bone out."

"I'm afraid even Shi Yi, who's considered the foremost prodigy, couldn't get the Treasure Bone out."

Hearing Chu Yang's words, Li Dao quickly came back to his senses and chuckled.

"If no one has done it before, why not be the first?"

Chu Yang froze at that. He was about to say more, but then saw the confidence on Li Dao's face.

Besides, they were merely chance acquaintances, so he swallowed the words of warning.

He was also a young man who had only just ventured out into the world, and Li Dao's words kindled a gleam in his eyes.

"Go right ahead, Brother Li."

"I'll stand by and back you up!"

He retreated to one side. Although he did not believe Li Dao could break the formation barrier, he waited there all the same.

Some cultivators who had just emerged from the passage saw Li Dao standing eagerly at the exit and stopped to watch.

"What's he doing? Standing right at the entrance as soon as he gets here?"

"Judging by his stance, this young fellow seems to want to take the Treasure Bone from the Starting Ground passage!"

"Ha! You really do run into every kind of oddball these days. Whose little brat is this?"

"He really is a little brat. If those bones could be taken out, would a little squirt like him ever get a turn?"

"Does he really think the Treasure Bone is so easy to take? A newborn calf truly has no fear of tigers."

Some watched Li Dao with anticipation, others scoffed, but most were simply there to enjoy the spectacle.

Li Dao paid no heed to their remarks. Instead, seeing so many people gather around, a sly gleam flashed through his eyes.

He planted himself in front of the passage and made a show of stretching his limbs. At once, the roars of tigers and dragons rang out from within his body.

Looking at the stones and Treasure Bone beneath his feet, his gaze grew serious.

Humm-

His body shuddered slightly, and his blood and qi surged like billowing beacon smoke. A primal, savage might radiated from him.

The onlookers surrounding him involuntarily retreated several steps when they sensed the change in Li Dao.

The cultivators who had initially thought nothing of him and were merely watching for amusement immediately grew solemn as they felt that hair-raising might.

"What terrifying pressure! The pressure from his physical body alone is already no weaker than that of some pure-blooded offspring!"

"So this is the source of Brother Li's confidence?"

Watching the faint golden divine radiance surrounding Li Dao, Chu Yang clenched his fists, anticipation rising in his eyes.

Boom-

Under everyone's gaze, Li Dao drove a fist into the passage of the Primitive Ground.

Bang-

The instant his fist landed, a terrifying wave of air swept outward.

The surging air forced the surrounding spectators back several steps.

As the fist struck the passage into the Starting Ground, they felt a tremor-though they could not tell whether they had imagined it-and hurriedly looked toward Li Dao.

"What happened?"

"Could it be... he still couldn't do it?"

"Just as expected. It would have been a surprise if he'd actually gotten them out!"

There was not the slightest change where his fist had landed, and they could not help feeling sorry for Li Dao.

Chu Yang was about to step forward and offer a few words of comfort when a sharp gleam flashed through Li Dao's eyes, and he shouted:

"Break!"

As the word left his mouth, the fist resting against the formation barrier quivered slightly, and a tremendous force poured forth in an instant.

Crack, crack, crack-

A series of crisp cracking sounds came from the barrier that had been shimmering with divine light.

Spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spread across its surface.

A golden gleam flashed through Li Dao's eyes, and strange Dao patterns flickered across his arm.

Boom-crack!

The next instant, the barrier shattered outright. Each fragment reflected the frightened, horrified faces all around.

Chu Yang stared at Li Dao, whose entire body radiated golden light, like a demonic god descended upon the world.

Towering waves of shock crashed through his heart. He had never imagined that someone he had merely met and chatted with along the road would turn out to be a genuine prodigy!

The cultivators who had previously accused Li Dao of merely playing to the crowd now looked at him differently.

How was this a child? He was clearly a pure-blooded ferocious beast wearing a child's appearance!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-

The next moment, however, everyone's attention was drawn to four streaks of light shooting out of the passage into the Primitive Ground.

"That's the Treasure Bone from the Primitive Ground passage!"

"Hurry and catch them

!"

"Don't let them get away!"

"After it! That Treasure Bone was embedded in the passage. It must be incredibly valuable!"

Everyone scattered in a rush, turning into streaks of light as they pursued the four Treasure Bones.

Watching the cultivators scatter, Li Dao's expression remained perfectly calm.

The fish have been released. Now let's see which clan is lucky enough.

Seeing that Li Dao had not moved at all, Chu Yang immediately stepped forward and said to him:

"Brother Li, those people are absolutely shameless!"

"You were the one who knocked them loose, yet they're all scrambling to snatch them!"

"Let's hurry and get them too. If we wait any longer, we might not get even one!"

Seeing Chu Yang's anxious expression, Li Dao merely shook his head.

"No one can steal what's mine. Let them hold on to them for now."

Chu Yang looked helpless at those words. If those people took the bones away, getting them back would hardly be so easy.
