Chapter 630: The most dangerous thing is not the ferocious beast!

"To speak without exaggeration, if there is a leader who forms factions, gathers several hundred strong individuals, and occupies the top hundred of the rankings, then those behind have no chance! They completely monopolize the entire rules, which can be considered as directly completing this competition……"

Of course, the probability of such a situation occurring is very low.

Zu Jishen listened, dazed, looked at Duan Di, then at Cai Qing Nüdi beside him, and said, "Sister, is what he said true?"

"Hmph, so what? People from different worlds will never join forces—you know that better than I do. Indeed, the more people, the greater the strength; gathering more powerful individuals together allows them to crush all ferocious beasts with overwhelming force, making it seem as if they have already prematurely completed the trial……"

"But you must know, human hearts are unfathomable; those not of our kind will surely harbor different intentions!"

Cai Qing Nüdi's words made Duan Di feel a bit embarrassed.

But since he has already encountered people from the same world, he naturally will not give up easily.

"Anyway, meeting now is also a fate; let us travel together—more people, more helpers, right?"

Duan Di chuckled.

Cai Qing Nüdi sighed helplessly, neither agreeing nor refusing, and continued walking forward with head held high.

……

In the not-so-distant canyon, a strange light descended from the sky.

Then, a surging air current rushed toward them!

"Whoa!"

"What a powerful aura!"

Duan Di was startled by the aura and quickly raised his hand to block.

But the impact of the air current far exceeded their imagination; in the next second, the three of them, including Cai Qing Nüdi, were scattered directly and fell heavily!

Boom—!!

The ground shook violently, suddenly split open, and a huge monstrous beast with a strange shape burst from the earth, soaring into the sky!

At that moment, a deafening screech suddenly rang out around them, and Duan Di quickly covered his ears.

"What the hell is going on?! Did they fight ahead?"

He was indeed correct in his guess.

At the very moment the beast rose into the sky, five dazzling lights accompanied it below, moving alongside it.

They were using Divine Ability techniques, trying to subdue this ferocious beast.

But obviously, they underestimated the beast's resistance.

This peculiarly shaped ferocious beast, like an earthworm, was covered all over with dense tiny holes, like numerous mouths, with sharp teeth everywhere, and it extended countless tentacles!

This instantly put the five strong individuals in a dilemma!

This is the first ferocious beast they have found; how could they let it go easily!

Everyone says that the number of points is ranked according to the beast's strength!

That monster before us probably has over a thousand points!

The changes in the heavens also foretell unrest on the earth.

The smoke and dust on the ground settled, and Duan Di, Cai Qing Nüdi, and Zu Jishen slowly crawled up.

They brushed off the dust on their bodies and looked up.

"My goodness, what is that up there supposed to do?"

That explosion just now almost took half his life.

"Sister, should we go up and help?"

Zu Jishen stood behind and hurriedly asked.

"Help? Are you alright?"

"You want to go up and help now? Do you really think they'll be grateful to us?" Duan Di was amused by Zu Jishen's words.

"Is she truly not understanding or pretending not to understand?"

"Younger sister, we don't need to intervene; this is their own battle…… If we interfere, they might think we're trying to steal points……"

"Oh, I see."

Zu Jishen shrugged.

She indeed hadn't thought that much; upon seeing the beast appear, her first reaction was to strike.

"But…… looking at the beast's size, the points are definitely not few; we can first observe, wait until those five above cannot beat it or run out of strength, then go up to help……"

Duan Di gazed at the sky, revealing a hint of a sly smile.

"Your way of saying 'help' sounds so scheming." Zu Jishen retorted.

"Duan Di, you're probably just waiting to reap the benefits like a fisherman, waiting for those few to fall into desperation before striking to wipe them out all at once." Cai Qing Nüdi had long seen through Duan Di's thoughts.

However, she did not blame him.

This is probably also what many people think; dealing with such a troublesome ferocious beast, someone must make the first move.

Those who come later will certainly not help readily; they will only observe in the dark, waiting for the right moment to act.

Under the guise of helping, they are actually trying to steal points; even if they can't get them, they can still earn points by launching a sneak attack when others are exhausted.

This is the cruelty of the second trial.

What we need to guard against is not only the ferocious beasts everywhere, but also the worry of unknown counterparts popping out from nowhere.

They are the truly terrifying ones.

At this moment, in the sky, that beast began to split!

Its body went from one to two, two to four, continually splitting into various strange-shaped forms.

Originally five against one, they thought they had the advantage, but now it seems they are instead surrounded by the beast?

"No way! This guy can also clone himself! There are more and more, he's simply not a match! Wah ah ah——"

One of them hadn't even finished speaking when tentacles wrapped around his body, instantly dragging him into the beast's mouth with a crack, and he was directly crushed.

Not even scraps left!

The ferocious beast's split-off avatar also possesses terrifying killing power.

Taking advantage of one of the five dying, the remaining four were distracted by shock, and all the tentacles sprang into action.

Pa-cha pa-cha!

In the blink of an eye, another three were dealt with, all sucked into its mouth, pierced by sharp fangs, then crushed and digested...

The five-person team was instantly reduced to just one person—this is no match!

"Help!"

Only see that person trembling all over from fright, face deathly pale.

Wanted to quickly escape from midair, he turned and ran.

But he never expected that, having thought he was pursuing the ferocious beast, he ended up being pursued by it!

Before he could react, his waist was entangled by the beast's tentacles!

"Damn it!!"

The man, both startled and afraid, in a panic took out a magical treasure—a longsword—and directly severed the tentacle.

Green blood spurted out.

The ferocious beast let out a mournful howl, the tentacles spreading over its body twitching and spasming; this sight shocked many.

In the chaotic world.

The three Xiaos all furrowed their brows at this sight.

"Eh… Senior Duobao, which junior disciple transformed into this ferocious beast? It's so disgusting! Really…"

Watching made people feel nauseous!

Yunxiao also couldn't bear it, covering her mouth, shaking her head repeatedly.

"Sister, this ferocious beast is too disgusting… Shall we go somewhere else to look?"

Other scenes of severed limbs and decapitations might still be tolerable, but this ferocious beast's appearance alone is already unpleasant.

Even Qiongxiao, the eldest sister, had to agree with Yunxiao's opinion at this moment.

The two transformed into illusions and went elsewhere to watch the battle.

Zhao Gongming gazed at the heavenly canopy, clicked his tongue, and said to the Duobao Daoist beside him: "What's the situation now? Who has the highest score?"

Duobao Daoist frowned, looking at the results, somewhat surprised: "It's a person from Chilian Hell, named Huang Tianhou, who has already slain three ferocious beasts and earned three hundred points."

"What?" Zhao Gongming also started. "What background does this woman have, how could she have slain three ferocious beasts so quickly?!"

You should know, the ferocious beasts here are all manifestations of Chan Sect disciples; they can be said to be their simplified avatars, and their cultivation level is also astonishing.

Even if it's a ferocious beast manifestation from the lowest-ranked Chan Sect disciple, placed before the mighty of all heavens, it's not something a single person can easily take down!

But on the list, this woman named Huang Tianhou truly surprised him.

"Hehe, I also find it unbelievable, but it wasn't just her alone; she also has two companions, the Left Envoy and Right Envoy."

"Three people… that's also impressive."

Zhao Gongming swallowed his saliva.

He could hardly imagine just how formidable these three people are.

"But every time they appear, other participants in the same arena sacrifice themselves; in other words, they probably aren't launching a frontal assault, but using some tricks."

Upon Duobao Daoist saying that, Zhao Gongming instantly understood.

No mistakes, every shot hits.

"Ah-ha… No way! I was saying, how could three people slay three ferocious beasts right at the start of the competition? Turns out they're playing dirty!"

This really makes one look down on them!

Zhao Gongming despises those who sneak and steal, especially those who reap the benefits without effort.

Likely they hide in the dark, see someone about to kill a ferocious beast, then suddenly pop out, kill that threatening person, and then handily take out the beast.

So sinister, it made Zhao Gongming instantly look down on the woman named Huang Tianhou.

"Tsk, to be honest, Senior Duobao, I really can't fathom why Senior Ye Qin would set such a rule: killing someone carrying points grants you the same amount of points—doesn't that just turn it into a free-for-all?"

In that case, the existence of the ferocious beasts isn't really necessary.

But even if the rule has loopholes, or makes him feel a bit displeased, there's nothing to be done.

After all, it's a rule set by Senior Ye Qin; any complaints must be swallowed.

"This rule looks simple, but it's actually quite interesting… It not only tests their strength, but also their endurance and reaction ability; not everyone with formidable combat power is qualified to obtain the Primordial Qi, and this road is still long!"

Duobao Daoist gave a hehe laugh.

"You… if everyone on the field were like Huang Tianhou, choosing to hide in the dark and use shady means to earn points, what point would there be? This isn't fair…"

Zhao Gongming felt a bit angry; if that were really the case, it would be too boring!

"Don't think that way; if Huang Tianhou had no skill, she couldn't possibly escape the notice of so many people and achieve this."

To pull this off under the noses of the mighty of all heavens and remain undetected is itself quite an impressive feat.

But Duobao Daoist is also curious about how Huang Tianhou managed to do this.

In an independent space, that ferocious demon beast finally revealed its true form, spread its wings and soared, its blood-red flesh wings unfurling dramatically.

Instantly, a chilling aura rippled through the void.

"Hmph, these demon beasts aren't easy to deal with!"

Duan Emperor's brows knit tightly, then he hurriedly shouted to the talented empress beside him: "Now is the best moment—let's go!"

"Now?"

The Ancestral Sacrifice God also looked somewhat surprised: "Wasn't a battle just finished here?"

Moreover, if as the talented empress previously said, this demon beast is so ferocious, it will surely attract the attention of many powerhouses. If they act now, they'll likely become the target of everyone, drawing the gaze of the mighty of all heavens.

Once they become the target of everyone's attack, their survival will become extremely difficult.

Ah! Are you just going to watch helplessly as someone else snatches away this demon beast's points?

Emperor Duan complained, seeing that the Talented Empress and the Ancestral God remained unmoved, he silently cursed in his heart.

Forget it, you guys aren't going up, I'll do it myself!

Having said that, Emperor Duan's body moved, he rose into the air, shot straight up into the clouds, and pursued that demon beast.

Older sister, Emperor Duan has already gone up; then, what should we do?

Seeing Emperor Duan about to rush out of the firmament, the Ancestral God felt anxious.

Don't rush, wait a bit, see what tricks he can pull off.

The Talented Empress spoke indifferently, but her gaze flicked toward the depths of the nearby canyon.

There, a few people were also lying in wait, ready to act.

Their identities had long been seen through by the Talented Empress.

They were two powerful individuals from the Overlord World, the brothers Tian He and Di He.

In the first round of the competition, they had already stunned the entire audience, especially that move they performed together, which left everyone present in awe.

The Talented Empress also specially analyzed their two strengths.

Although Di He was the junior brother, his strength surpassed that of Tian He.

The key lies in the weapon Di He uses, Heaven Sound Cut, a supreme treasure brimming with killing intent, possessing an innate lethal aura capable of cleaving all things in the world.

As for Tian He's advantage, his cultivation technique is mysterious and unfathomable, unbeatable by anyone.

As a team, they are practically invincible.

Just like the combination of myself and the Ancestral God, although only two people, they can unleash boundless power.

However…

Weren't there also a Death Song Person in their team before? Why are only Tian He and Di He appearing now?

Although the other two members don't get many chances to appear, being somewhat like background figures, they are still a team, so they shouldn't have split up…

Thinking this, the Talented Empress showed a puzzled expression.

……

In the distance, Tian He and Di He from the Overlord World gloomily stared at the direction Emperor Duan flew toward the sky.

How about it, elder brother, shall we make a move?

Di He spoke softly, his gaze fixed on the heights.

Don't rush… someone is also watching us.

Tian He's brows twitched, his gaze shifted, and he met the eyes of the Talented Empress in the distance.

Oh? Are those the two sisters of the Ancestral God?

Di He gave a slight smile, licked his lips, "I've long wanted to cross blades with them; perhaps this is a good opportunity…"

Don't rush, take it slow; they're probably also waiting for us to make a move.

Tian He kept staring at the Talented Empress, completely ignoring the situation above.

Afterwards, he seemed to think of something, and put away his blood‑stained weapon.

Di He, put away the Heaven Sound Cut, don't let anyone see it.

Di He hesitated for a moment, then gave a slow smile, obeying his senior brother's words, and put away his weapon.

That blood‑stained blade, indeed, must not be noticed by others.

Otherwise, the fact that they killed their own teammates would be exposed.

Di He, this time we must definitely advance. For the sake of the Primordial Qi, for the Hongmeng Purple Qi, and most importantly, we must earn the admiration of the great boss Ye Qin!

Thinking of this, Tian He couldn't help but feel a bit excited.

Rest assured, senior brother, I, Di He, even if I risk my life, will absolutely not let anyone else take first place! (End of chapter)
