  Over 100 human cultivators had arrived, and gathered on the ridge. They were all at the Hundred Year realm of cultivation.

  At this time, a person spoke as he looked at his friend. “Brother Feng, I wonder how many people will be able to come out alive this time.”


  Feng Wu shook his head, and said, “I heard that 1,300 people entered last time, but less than 10% of them came out alive. Moreover, only one person managed to bring out a Form Transformation Pill.”


  “But that person also managed to advance greatly because of the benefits he gained from that trip, and he’s now among the top 10 of the Earth Ranking.”


  A strong fire burned in Feng Wu’s eyes. What kind of honor was that rank!

  From a mere Hundred Year realm, that person had managed to advance extremely smoothly, reaching the peak of the Thousand Year King realm within a short 100 years!

  The Earth Ranking was mainly filled with Thousand Year Kings, and age was not a factor at all. Only the strongest 1,000 could be ranked there!

  For that person to be ranked among the top 10 of that list, it was easy to imagine how powerful he was.

  “The number of people that would come this time is most likely going to be even more than the last time. After all, with that lucky expert as the example, even some of the large clans would come,” a person said worriedly. If more people came, it naturally also meant that the chances of him obtaining some fortuitous encounter would be smaller.

  Moreover, those geniuses of the large families were much stronger than him, whether it be their cultivation or abilities.

  Bei Feng followed the nine-headed eagle and Black Tiger King and stopped at an empty spot. The nine-headed eagle only said a few more words before leaving hurriedly. Bei Feng didn’t mind, and sat down simply as he observed the crowd.

  Most of the Demonic Beasts here were peak Thousand Year King realm Demonic Beasts. Among the 200-300 humans, the number of Thousand Year Kings did not exceed 20.

  From the looks of it, these 20 experts were simply here to protect the young geniuses.

  Bei Feng looked around and thought for a moment. There should still be quite some time until the ruins were open. These people who were here right now should just be a small portion of the total number.

  If these guys want to survive, just relying on their current strength is not going to be sufficient, Bei Feng evaluated silently. Since the Demonic Beasts were willing to allow humans into the ruins that they guarded, it meant that the benefits that could be obtained in the ruins were great.

  The standards of these several hundred people were higher than ordinary Hundred Year realm cultivators. Even compared to the guards that he’d cultivated himself, they were not weaker by much.

  Moreover, the current state was still under the premise that the main forces were not here yet. The nine-headed eagle had also told him very directly that they were not the only people that would be joining in for this exploration this time.

  With the nine-headed eagle’s departure, it was quite likely that it’d gone to fetch more people.

  It was easy to see that the cultivators that hadn’t arrived yet were the ones that the Demonic Beasts Tribe truly placed their hopes in.

  In comparison, although the guards under Bei Feng had been nurtured with large amounts of natural treasures, their foundations were still too poor. They were somewhat stronger than the other Hundred Year realm experts here right now, but it was still by a limited amount.

  Bei Feng thought for a moment, and suddenly gathered the eight guards.

  He looked at them, and said, “Your current abilities are still insufficient to allow you to survive. I will now pass a set of martial technique to each of you. As for how much you can comprehend from it, that will depend on your own luck. I hope to see that all of you will be able to come back alive.”


  “Yes!”


  The eight guards’ faces trembled with emotion. Following behind Bei Feng, they had witnessed many things that far surpassed their understanding of the world. This kind of understanding caused them to feel somewhat defeated.

  But now, when it came to a competition between opponents of the same level, the eight of them finally had an avenue to show their strength.

  “Steady your mind and calm your Qi!” Bei Feng raised his voice, and the eight quickly entered a quiet state.

  In that moment, eight seeds formed from Bei Feng’s mental power, and directly shot into the minds of the eight.

  He was actually teaching them the Form and Will Fist!

  Eight different forms of the Form and Will Fist, were separately passed down to them, based on the characteristics of each person.

  At this time, the eight experts had already lost all awareness of the outside world.

  The instant Bei Feng’s mental power seeds entered their minds, numerous terrifying images flashed through their minds.

  A different powerful Demonic Beast was displaying different sets of movements from the Form and Will Fist to them.

  The Tianjun Liquid had increased the comprehension strength of these people, and right now, all of them were fervently dedicating their minds to understanding the profound mysteries within the martial technique.

  As he watched the eight men enter a meditative state, Bei Feng nodded with satisfaction. From here on, whether they could live on would depend on themselves.

  He was not their babysitter, and he did not need a group of sheep that hid behind him for everything. What he needed was a group of hungry wolves that would charge before him!

  He’d already equipped them with everything they needed. Whether they were wolves that traveled 1,000 li to eat meat or dogs that traveled 1,000 li to eat sh*t, it was all up to them now!

  If they could survive, it would naturally be a good thing. But if they couldn’t, Bei Feng would only heave a sigh in pity.

  Since they’d chosen to step onto this path of martial cultivation, it naturally meant that fighting and killing were going to become commonplace occurrences in their lives.

  Compared to many people, those guards under him could be considered to already have a pretty high starting point. If they died even with so much help from him, they could only be called trash.

  One could not blame Bei Feng for being heartless. The pugilistic world was just such a place.

  There were limited fortuitous encounters, and they were reserved for the people who were prepared.

  In a situation where there were limited resources, if one person managed to grab it, it meant that someone else would not have it. In that situation, what would happen?!

  The only outcome was to fight!

  The cause of the fight was irrelevant, and so was life and death!

  Time quickly passed, and three days went by.

  In these three days, the clouds and mist around the platform became thicker and thicker.

  Bei Feng could also sense some unique auras from the clouds.

  “Yin!”


  A large green bird spanning several hundred zhang wide cried out as it flew down from the sky.

  A terrifying aura surged from its body, suppressing all the Demonic Beasts in its path. It was a Ferocious Beast with strength that was comparable to the Ten Thousand Year Realm!

  Ferocious Beasts were different from Demonic Beasts. Ferocious Beasts were simple-minded and unintelligent, but their strength was not weak.

  About 10 youngsters were seated on the back of this green Ferocious Beast. All of them looked incredibly elegant and graceful, and their eyes blazed with immense confidence.

  “The Qing Family is here!”


  “Who would have thought that the Qing Family would also come! That man there is an elder of the Qing Family, a Ten Thousand Year Supremacy!”


  “Qing Xiyu is here as well. His current reputation is not small at all; I heard that he could even contend against regular Thousand Year Kings with his strength!”


  “To think that the Qing Family would be willing to risk this much, huh. He’s a genius with boundless potential! Aren’t they afraid that he would end up losing his life in the ruins?!”


  The crowd below began to gasp and discuss fervently.

  “Weng!”


  At this time, a 100 zhang long, 20 zhang tall black ship hurtled through the sky. Within the time of a few short breaths, it’d travelled several tens of thousand meters. Surprisingly, such a huge ship did not stir up much noise or commotion.

  The ship looked old and ancient, and countless sword and blade scars lined its body. It looked to be in poor condition, but no one dared to take it lightly.

  A battle flag hung high above the ship’s mast, with the word Shi on it.

  “Bang, bang!”


  Several loud sounds rang out from the east, and the ground began to shake.

  Everyone raised their heads and looked over, and their jaws dropped at the same time.

  A gigantic human strutted over from the distance, his height surpassing a thousand meters!

  This single human was as large as a mountain!

  His steps looked slow, but it was only in a relative manner.

  With the size of that giant, every step would carry him tens of kilometers!

  Huge footprints were left in his wake, and many Demonic Beasts did not manage to escape before being squished into meat paste.

  A flying Thousand Year King realm Demonic Beast was startled by him, and hurriedly moved to fly out of the way. But it’d only just taken into the air when the giant caught up to it in a few strides. Then, with a swipe of his gigantic hand, he caught this Thousand Year King realm Demonic Beast and directly shoved it into his mouth.

  “Hiss! That was a peak Thousand Year King realm Demonic Beast!”


  “This giant is too terrifying!”


  “That’s the people from the Primal Devil Sect!”


  “This giant’s blood Qi energy is too strong! Even if he didn’t know anything about cultivation, just by relying on his blood Qi energy, he could fight against Ten Thousand Year Realm experts!”


  “He is an aboriginal of this Heaven Connecting Tower ranked 23rd. These aboriginals are not very intelligent, but their bodies are shockingly powerful. The moment they’re born, they’re already equivalent to Third Layer Hundred Year realm cultivators in strength! At full maturity, they are comparable to peak Thousand Year Kings! The more outstanding ones can have strength equivalent to the peak Thousand Year King realm in their youth, and become as powerful as Ten Thousand Year Supremacies in adulthood!”


  The group gasped with shock. The power of this race was extremely shocking to imagine. Without even having any knowledge of cultivation, they were already so terrifying.

  This Heaven Connecting Tower ranked 23rd still hadn’t been fully conquered yet, and it was precisely because of the presence of these terrifying giants.

  The resources within this place were bountiful, with huge amounts of them being useful for body refining. It was a holy land for body refiners!

  The Primal Devil Sect was also a body refining sect. From the weakest levels of the sect to the top level, the whole sect was filled with crude men with bulging muscles!

  The Primal Devil Sect had an extremely long history, and they believed only in their bodies and their fists. They trained their bodies alone, and did not bother with Qi refining.

  Every step they took required at least 10 times the resources and effort of other cultivators. After such a long history, they still had very small numbers.

  As they got closer, the crowd saw that there were 20 tall and muscular mini giants standing atop the giant’s shoulder, each one standing over two, three zhang tall.

  Their eyes were red with excitement as they howled.

  Numerous sects and clans continued to arrive, drawing the repeated gasps and amazement of the crowd.

  Although these clans, sects, and large families were not considered the strongest, they all had Ten Thousand Year Realm old monsters within their ranks. Their foundations were deep, and they couldn’t be underestimated.

  Bei Feng cast his eyes over them. This group of people’s strength was indeed not bad, and they were much stronger even than the guards that he’d brought along.

  Although they were only peak Hundred Year realm experts, even half-step Thousand Year King realm experts would not be able to last long against them.

  Those three are not bad.

  Bei Feng looked more seriously at three people. The first was Qing Ruyu from the Qing Family. In the path of cultivation, men enjoyed particularly favorable natural conditions, whereas it was rare for women to succeed in cultivation. However, Bei Feng did not think that this woman was a simple character at all. Her aura was only slightly weaker than his own before he advanced into the Thousand Year King realm.

  Another was a 1.7 meters tall youth from the Primal Devil Sect. Compared to the tall companions beside him, he looked like a chicken among a flock of cranes.

  However, his blood Qi aura was incomparably strong, forming a blood lotus pattern rippling slowly behind his back. The pressure leaking from his body was as if he could already contend against Thousand Year Kings!

  The third person was a youth from the Shi Family. This youth’s face was as pale as a sheet of paper, but his hair was blood-red in color. A bloodthirsty aura filled his entire body, and an intense killing intent wrapped around him.

  But, this killing intent and bloodthirst aura seemed exceptionally apt on him, and did not seem dark or evil at all. His aura was similarly powerful, not inferior to the other two’s!

  These three were all top geniuses. The moment they broke through to the Thousand Year King realm, their blood Qi fusion rate would at least be 90%!

  Of course, that did not mean perfection.

  Above 90%, there was still 91%, 92%…… all the way until 100%!

  Although 90% and 100% seemed to be separated only by a thin line, it was an almost unsurpassable distance.

  With their excellent talent, and the addition of the deep foundations backing them, their future could be said to be inestimable.

  Bei Feng, too, hadn’t expected that so many supreme geniuses would come for the sake of a mere ruins like this.

  At the end, a total of 12 large factions had arrived, each one capable of shaking a large territory outside!

  There were also 12 Ten Thousand Year Supremacies here, accompanying their disciples.
