"What?" Long Chen asked.
"The formation I set up is sending images. Take a look..." Xia Chen said, summoning a light screen.
Within the light screen, a group of figures appeared. Their aura was undetectable, but judging by their forms, they were likely powerful members of the demon beast clan.
"All of them at the Immortal King realm?" Guo Ran was taken aback.
Although he couldn't sense their aura, he could see the divine radiance of Wang Mian behind their heads, proving they were all a group of Immortal King Realm experts.
"Buzz!"
The scene shifted, and another group of people appeared. These were powerful beings with soaring blood energy, their bodies radiating blood light and an overwhelming presence. Even through the light screen, their strength could be felt.
Immediately after, the scene shifted again, revealing a group of powerful figures shrouded in black mist. They looked somewhat like Underworld Clan warriors, but only images were visible; their true forms were not visible, making it impossible to confirm their identities.
"This is really interesting. They're all Immortal King realm experts. They're treating us as hunting targets and using us as trials." A smile appeared on Long Chen's face.
These formation disks had been set up at various locations along the way by Xia Chen to scout the surroundings. Unexpectedly, the experts here had some backbone, sending only Immortal King Realm experts to deal with them.
"Boss, let's go meet them." Guo Ran said eagerly, wanting to see just how strong the strong people who grew up here really were.
"No need. Let's keep searching for treasures. If we run into them, we'll give it a try. If we can't, don't waste time looking for them." Long Chen shook his head.
The two nodded. Although they wanted to compete with the strong ones here, they thought it over and realized that getting rich was the priority.
The three began exploring the human ruins. This ruin was just a very small sect, having collected only a few low-grade spirit stones, a few bone books, and some pills.
Although the gains were limited, they gave the three of them hope, especially those few bone books, which they could study carefully.
After the three finished exploring, they headed straight to the next location, but halfway there, they ran into a group of hunters.
The dozen or so beast clan experts saw Long Chen and the other two, their eyes lit up immediately, and they struck directly.
"Boom!"
Guo Ran faced a leader head-on, throwing a fierce punch, but the punch sent his blood surging violently, causing him to tumble several times.
Guo Ran's fist was deformed from the blow, and the man's body was even stronger than his own armor.
"Boom boom boom... Over there,
Xia Chen formed hand seals, and talismans flew out like petals dancing. The talismans struck the powerful ones and shattered with a thunderous crash, sending shockwaves sweeping across the sky.
Xia Chen's talisman was extremely powerful; even among the top Heavenly Venerables, if not killed, he would be seriously injured.
Yet, although these powerful figures before him were blown apart and roared in fury, they could not inflict fatal harm on them.
"Damn it, what kind of clan are you? How can you be so strong?"
Guo Ran fought fiercely with that leader, his armor shattered to pieces, nearly shattered, and he couldn't help but roar in anger.
"Idiot, my Heavenly Bone Mammoth clan wiped out all of you humans in that battle back then.
The skulls of your human immortal powerhouses are still hanging in front of the totem pole, and you don't recognize us. The leader of the beast clan sneered.
"Boom boom boom... The
beast clan expert swung his fists, forcing Guo Ran to retreat repeatedly. Guo Ran was furious and shocked—this guy was too strong, he was no match for him.
"Are you the strongest among your peers in this world?" Guo Ran dodged while shouting.
"Only an idiot could say something so foolish. Among our Heavenly Bone Mammoth Clan's King Realm, I rank seventh.
In the uninhabited world, who knows how many beings stronger than I am? You are like frogs at the bottom of a well. The Heavenly Bone Mammoth Clan expert sneered.
Mammoth clan? No wonder, Long Chen's heart stirred. The Mammoth Clan has always been known for their strength, so it's no wonder they're so powerful.
"Meeting you is really lucky. All the clans have already issued a decree: whoever kills the three of you will qualify for the Baptism of the Eye of Chaos. Haha, I didn't expect it to be so easy." The Heavenly Bone Mammoth Clan expert laughed heartily.
"Don't get entangled. End the fight quickly so others don't take advantage of you." The Heavenly Bone Mammoth Clan expert shouted loudly.
"Boom boom boom... With
his shout, more than a dozen Heavenly Bone Mammoth Clan experts roared in fury. A strange phenomenon appeared behind them—phantoms of giant mammoths.
As soon as that phantom appeared, the aura of these people erupted like a volcano, instantly multiplying dozens of times.
"Die!"
The leader of the Heavenly Bone Mammoth Clan shouted sharply, summoning a strange phenomenon as well. He threw a fierce punch at Guo Ran, and with every punch, the entire space began to distort.
"Smack!"
At that moment, a large hand covered in golden dragon scales grabbed his fist—it was Long Chen making a move.
Long Chen was covered in golden dragon scales, his vast blood energy like the tides of the sea. He gripped the opponent's fist tightly, staring at him with a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth:
"With your little strength, you dare to speak arrogantly?"
"You..."
The Heavenly Bone Mammoth Clan expert was both shocked and furious. Runes lit up all over his body, his arms instantly swelled by a noticeable size, and power surged out like a tsunami.
"Boom boom boom... The
ground beneath their feet erupted like a volcano, collapsing with a thunderous crash, and violent air currents swept across the heavens.
But no matter how hard the Heavenly Bone Mammoth Clan expert tried, Long Chen still grabbed his fist, yet he remained immobile. At this moment, the Heavenly Bone Mammoth Clan expert's expression changed.
"What mammoth? In front of a dragon, they're nothing but ants."
Long Chen snorted coldly, his large hand trembling violently.
"Pfft!"
The Heavenly Bone Mammoth Clan expert let out a miserable scream, and his arm was forcibly torn off by Long Chen.
"Pfft!"
Long Chen pointed his finger, and the Heavenly Bone Mammoth Clan expert was pierced through the brow by the seven-colored divine light. His corpse collapsed, instantly transforming into a gigantic mammoth elephant.
"Dragon blood transforms into tendons, making the dragon's power even more solid, and the Dragon God Body Refining Technique advances further. I just wonder if anyone at the same level can surpass me in physical form." Long Chen felt the powerful flow of dragon power, his heart filled with wild joy.
"Puff puff puff... Long
Chen wielded the Seven Absolute Sword and charged at the other Heavenly Bone Mammoth Clan experts, wiping out them in just a few moves, almost instantly eliminating everyone.
"Whoosh"
Long Chen waved his hand, storing all the corpses into the chaotic space and throwing them into the black earth.
"Someone's coming, let's go."
Long Chen called out. Xia Chen hurriedly took out the formation disk. After a single breath, the space calmed down slightly, then Xia Chen's disk glowed, and the three figures vanished in an instant.
In less than a breath, as soon as the three disappeared, countless figures attacked from all directions. But they arrived a step too late; aside from endless bloodstains, nothing remained on the ground.
