Between heaven and earth, the waves began to churn violently, the wind howled, and space trembled!
Someone wielded a long spear, exuding unparalleled dominance. With a sudden, powerful thrust, the spear seemed poised to pierce the very heavens!
Someone held a longbow, drew the bowstring taut, and aimed with lightning-fast eyes at the gap in the waterspout. A long and sharp divine arrow shot out through the air!
Starlight shimmered on the arrow shaft, and the arrow pierced through space like lightning, hitting the gap accurately!
Both of their attacks had actually reached the Early-Stage God Emperor Realm...
Cheng Rongzhi brandished the enormous stone sword in his hand, as if splitting the heavens and earth, and his fierce attack caused the space in front of him to cave in!
Naturally, Ye Qiubai's side also launched a dazzling offensive.
With a simple, powerful thrust, the Hong Ying spear pierced through the air, exuding Intent of the Emperor. Those present felt that none had the confidence to withstand its force.
Ye Qiubai unleashed a sword strike, directly employing the fifth sword technique of the Primordial Sword Scripture, Heavenly Slaughter!
Xiao Hei throws a punch, Ning Chenxin recites the Nine-Character Mantra, Mu Wan'er manipulates the Nine Dragons Incarnation Cauldron, and Shi Sheng cleaves the starry sky with an axe!
Of course, Mu Fusheng didn't hold back either, unleashing the strength expected of the Middle Stage God King Realm...
However, Song Xiao's attack method surprised Xiao Hei.
This man, whose body was originally thin, unleashed an enormous burst of physical strength with a single punch!
It's hard to imagine that he's actually a body cultivator...
When everyone's attacks landed on the gap.
The suturing stopped abruptly! It had even swelled considerably!
No one offered any warnings, and no one hesitated; everyone seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and rushed towards the gap with all their might!
Of course, there are also those who want to attack others and reduce competitors.
However, under these circumstances, once you launch an attack, your speed will inevitably be slowed down to some extent.
That would be counterproductive.
After all, if they didn't make it through, they would be dead...
One by one, cultivators jostled and squeezed their way in.
Even if the gap widens, it can only accommodate three or four people at a time.
After three breaths, the stitches were completely closed!
There were still more than ten people who didn't get in, and seven people who failed to rush in at the last moment were swallowed by the waterspout...
Of course, this did not include Ye Qiubai and his group.
With the blessing of Mu Fusheng's talismans and Mu Wan'er's elixirs.
Everyone's speed has improved significantly.
However, before they could even celebrate, everyone who passed through the gap looked ahead with expressions of terror.
The enormous shadow behind the waterspout was now fully exposed to their view...
Ye Qiubai's expression turned solemn. "What... what kind of strange beast is this?"
Hong Ying raised its head, and with just its tail, it completely enveloped the sky.
Its enormous body, however, sank beneath the sea.
Song Xiao's face also showed horror. "I had heard of this beast in the ancient books of the sect. It is called Kunpeng... but I never thought it would actually exist."
Kunpeng.
Lu Changsheng is probably a very familiar name to you.
After all, it is one of the most famous mythical beasts in the Classic of Classic of Mountains and Seas.
"I never imagined that there would be Divine Lord- level beasts in the Mid-Latitude Realm..."
At that moment, someone exclaimed, "There's something on that tail!"
At the edge of that tail were the remains of several corpses.
As everyone looked over, someone guessed, "Could it be that the Ancient Battlefield is located at this tail?"
Suddenly, a dull and withered voice echoed in the space.
"Now that you've passed the first two trials, go forth. As long as you gain the approval of the remnant souls within the Ancient Battlefield, you can enter. If not, don't force it; what is not destined cannot be forced. Just return the way you came..."
The words had barely left his mouth.
Everyone looked up with fervent eyes, and then eagerly flew towards the top of the tail!
When Ye Qiubai and the others reached the top of the tail, their eyes were filled with shock.
Above the giant tail, an entire, boundless battlefield stretched out!
The battlefield was a chaotic mess, littered with corpses and remains. Countless cities had collapsed, swords and blades were embedded in the ruins, and the dried blood had turned completely black...
Tragic!
As far as the eye can see, there are only skeletons! They stretch as far as the eye can see!
What exactly happened in High Antiquity times that caused such a horrific mass death?
However, what's even more exciting is the aura it exudes.
Even after hundreds of thousands of years, an aura that still sends chills down their spines remains!
This means that the secret treasures passed down within will certainly not disappoint them.
However, there was a stone tablet in front of them.
Three large characters are engraved on the stone tablet.
The Mortal Realm...
Although the stone tablet looked extremely broken, with cracks and moss covering it.
But those three words remain clear and powerful!
This startled Ye Qiubai and the others.
Could this be the entrance to the Mortal Realm?
Was this the very place where they defended against the attacks of the Evil Devil Domain back then...?
The entrance marks the glorious beginning of the Mortal Realm's lineage.
Similarly, it is also a place where the orthodox tradition perished and declined...
An invisible aura enveloped the entire battlefield around this stone monument. Some people tried to touch it, but found that they could not penetrate it no matter what they did.
This reminds me of what Kunpeng said.
This is probably the final test.
"Place your hand on the stone tablet, and if it responds, you will be able to enter."
Kunpeng's words rang out again.
Everyone looked towards the stone tablet.
Some people even confidently placed their hands on the stone tablet.
The appearance of this person also caused quite a stir, clearly indicating that he was a very famous prodigy in the region.
However, the stone tablet did not react at all, which made the man's face turn pale and then red. He then snorted coldly and stepped back.
After that, people came forward one after another to try, but none of them could make the stone tablet resonate.
This made them wonder if the stone tablet was broken.
They are all top-tier geniuses from the High-Latitude Realm!
Kunpeng's sigh rang out again, " The Mortal Realm has truly fallen... They don't even have the right to receive a response from a remnant soul... So be it, fate has come to this."
Kunpeng's words made everyone feel awkward once again.
At this moment, Ye Qiubai said with a smile, "So, who wants to go first?"
Hong Ying smiled and said, "You're the senior brother, so you'll definitely go first."
Ning Chenxin smiled and said, "Of course I'll do it."
Xiao Hei shrugged and said, "Let you pretend for a bit first."
Song Xiao was slightly surprised and said, "Pretend first? Are you so sure Brother Ye can pass?"
They didn't answer, but their eyes said it all.
Even Ji Qianyao and Jin Wujin thought so.
After all, how could that person's disciple possibly fail to gain the approval of the remnant soul?
