Chapter 814: The Next Barrier (First update, requesting everything)

Inside the giant wooden sphere, even though Buleijiasi could not see the scene outside, it felt an intense sense of crisis in its heart, which made it struggle desperately.

Clatter—

In an instant, the giant wooden sphere shattered completely, revealing the figure of Buleijiasi.

When it saw the two giant millstones crushing over, Buleijiasi's expression changed drastically, but it was too late by then.

Buleijiasi only had time to release a layer of Darkness barrier before the two millstones pressed in, trapping the Darkness barrier in the middle and grinding against it violently.

During this process, the newly formed Darkness barrier twisted violently, instantly turning into an oval shape, and a large number of cracks appeared on it, giving the impression that it would collapse at any moment.

Even though Buleijiasi was already overloading the Darkness barrier with energy, it still could not change the outcome of it shattering.

Clatter—

Under the intense friction, the Darkness barrier finally shattered, revealing the terrified Buleijiasi inside.

In a split second, Buleijiasi was submerged within the two millstones, and from within, the shrill, miserable screams of Buleijiasi could be faintly heard.

Kailan tried hard to maintain the two millstones, but judging by her increasingly pale complexion, maintaining the millstones required a massive amount of energy, and she could not keep it up for long.

After holding on for only two or three breaths, Kailan stopped, feeling somewhat drained. The two millstones, having lost control, fell straight down from the air and smashed heavily onto the ground with a loud boom.

Boom—

A few breaths later, another booming sound rang out as Buleijiasi rushed out from the discarded millstones.

At this moment, Buleijiasi was in an extremely wretched state, covered in blood, with not a single patch of intact fur to be seen, and it was even missing some parts; it bore no resemblance to how it looked before the battle.

Simply put, it had been beaten into a shape that no longer resembled a beast.

It was only because the vitality of a Saint Grade Spirit Pet is exceptionally strong; otherwise, if it were an ordinary Spirit Beast that had sustained such injuries, it would have died long ago.

Kailan panted twice, and seeing Buleijiasi charging over, she once again condensed a Dark Green Light Blade to engage Buleijiasi in close-quarters combat.

Because the trees formed by the Wood Realm Descent characteristic had all been destroyed by Kailan, she lost her power amplification, but her opponent, Buleijiasi, was in a state of severe weakness, so she did not fall behind in the slightest.

Buleijiasi was also giving it its all; to preserve its reputation, it launched a near-maniacal offensive, attacking with no regard for defense. It knew very well that in its current state, it could not last long, and it wanted to rely on the exemption ability of the Essence Origin Protection to defeat Kailan first.

Clang, clang, clang—

The Dark Green Light Blade and claws clashed wildly. Occasionally, Buleijiasi would also swing its three tails, turning almost every part of its body into a weapon in an attempt to inflict damage on Kailan.

At first, Kailan was stretched thin and unable to parry, finding herself suppressed by Buleijiasi.

Slap—

Taking advantage of Kailan's wretched state of parrying, Buleijiasi seized the opportunity and swung its tail. Accompanied by a whistling sonic boom, the tail smashed fiercely into Kailan, sending her flying.

After flying back dozens of meters, Kailan finally stopped her momentum. Having lost the protection of the Innate One Qi Profound Brake Wonderful Truth Green Lotus, this single blow alone left Kailan nearly critically injured.

This was mainly due to the impact of the gap in cultivation realms; if Kailan were also at the Saint Grade, this blow naturally could not have caused such great damage.

Buleijiasi did not give Kailan time to catch her breath. It turned into an arrow released from a bowstring again, appearing before Kailan with unimaginable speed, and swiped a claw at her vital neck.

Kailan lowered her head almost subconsciously; the sharp claws grazed her scalp, and like a blade cutting hair, green strands of hair fell in a flurry.

However, at this very moment, green light emerged in Kailan's eyes. These fallen strands of hair seemed to have gained life, turning into small green snakes that charged madly at Buleijiasi, who was only inches away.

This gave the impression of a Medusa, but unlike a Medusa, Kailan's hair naturally contained intense Natural Energy and life energy, and with her level of control, she could instantly mimic the hair.

Buleijiasi did not have time to react before its body was coiled by countless green snakes, suffering powerful restraint.

Crack—crack—

Buleijiasi struggled with all its might. These strands of hair mimicking green snakes made sounds of being unable to bear the strain, and then they all snapped, turning back into broken hair and scattering to the ground.

However, taking advantage of the fleeting moment, Kailan swung out over a dozen sword beams in an instant, completely enveloping Buleijiasi.

Pfft—crack—

Buleijiasi was completely unable to dodge. It only had time to swing one claw, leaving several wounds on Kailan that were deep enough to see bone, and immediately after, intense pain surged from all over its body, followed by a strong sense of dizziness, and it lost consciousness right then and there.

On the other side, Kailan was knocked to the ground by Buleijiasi's dying blow, but she still struggled to crawl up from the ground. Her condition was worse than ever, giving the impression that she might collapse at any moment.

Just at this moment, a Golden Light Beam descended, instantly enveloping Kailan.

When the light beam disappeared, Kailan became full of vigor again, restored to her prime, as if everything that had just happened were a hallucination.

This was the special feature of this space; as long as the challenge ended, whether the challenger succeeded or failed, they would be completely healed.

This fierce battle allowed Li Zhangsheng to clearly recognize Kailan's current combat power. Although she only barely defeated the Weishou Buleijiasi, this also meant that Kailan truly possessed the combat power of a Saint Grade Spirit Pet.

Of course, this was only against a Saint Grade Spirit Pet; if she were to face a Saint Grade Spirit Pet with the support of a Secret Realm, Kailan would likely still lose.

Even so, it was still highly commendable.

After Li Zhangsheng completed all the trials, the situations on the other three sides were basically settled as well.

This was the trial that most tested overall strength; the weakest one, that Senior Pseudo-King, went without saying—naturally, he was the first to be defeated.

Of the other two Top-tier Pseudo-Kings, one had already been suppressed by the third-round Saint Grade Spirit Pet and had clearly fallen into a disadvantage.

The other Top-tier Pseudo-King was fighting the Saint Grade Spirit Pet with great intensity and showed no signs of losing; his strength was stronger than his competitor's.

Even among Top-tier Pseudo-Kings, there existed a large gap in strength. Someone like Li Zhangsheng was at the very pinnacle, below him were the Top-tier Pseudo-Kings who could contend with Kings for a short period, and then came the others.

The strength of this Top-tier Pseudo-King was likely not much weaker than Ning Bizhen's.

With the defeat of one Top-tier Pseudo-King, it meant that the final candidates had been decided.

Amidst a dizzying sensation, Li Zhangsheng appeared in an exceptionally spacious hall.
