Free Web NovelAfter stepping into the glowing portal, a screen appeared before his eyes:
【Name: Ying Bing】
【Age: 16】
【Root Bone: Taiyin Moon Phoenix Body.】
【Realm: Inner Breath Jade Liquid Realm.】
【Destiny: Red (Possesses Imperial Bone, Ice as life, Autumn Water as spirit, has the appearance of Phoenix Heaven)】
【Evaluation: Her destiny is plagued with many tribulations, yet she always manages to turn danger into good fortune. At this time, her feathers are not yet fully grown, but when the winds and clouds shift, she will surely soar high above the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, a Phoenix reigning over the six harmonies and eight wastes.】
【Recent Encounter: Failed to compete for the Blood Phoenix Essence, and will be severely injured upon entering the third layer of the Secret Realm.】
"!!?"
Standing at the entrance of the Secret Realm, Li Mo's pupils constricted slightly.
Is the System malfunctioning?
In this Secret Realm, the highest Realm is only Guan Shen Realm.
She will fail and be severely injured?
"Ice..."
Before he could finish a single word, the bloody light at the Secret Realm entrance suddenly surged, engulfing everyone at the entrance.
......
The bloody light, like individual bubbles, carried everyone through the boundless darkness and dispersed them into different locations.
When they opened their eyes again, it was as if they were in an ancient battlefield.
This world was vast and expansive, with a sky so dim it seemed to have wept. The chilling wind carried the sound of bones, as if lonely souls were wailing, sending shivers down one's spine.
It seemed an extremely tragic battle had once taken place here.
Before the battle, this place resembled a forest, but now only countless dark, withered branches remained, silently reaching their claws towards the sky.
"The Blood Phoenix Secret Realm is not a benevolent place."
Li Mo felt the Karmic Fire in his Dantian stirring restlessly.
Karmic Fire only reacted this way to places of great malevolence or to extremely evil individuals.
Under normal circumstances, as long as he didn't pull out his hammer, Ying Bing should have no opponent in this Secret Realm. freёweɓnovel.com
This meant she encountered other unforeseen circumstances.
And this unforeseen circumstance was likely related to the Secret Realm itself?
Crack—
Li Mo stepped down in thought, crushing a piece of animal bone with a crisp crunch.
"The Origin Qi here is much more abundant than outside?"
"Is it because of that... Blood Phoenix Essence?"
Just as he was thinking this, the sky suddenly trembled, and the originally dim stars began to glow.
On the boundless sky curtain, huge characters appeared, drawn with powerful strokes, visible to everyone.
【Heaven and Earth are not benevolent; they treat all beings as straw dogs.】
【For the Dao of Martial Arts to succeed, one's success means the demise of countless others!】
【Secret Realm First Layer Trial: Kill.】
【The top fifty will be eligible to enter the next layer.】
There weren't many words on the sky curtain, but each one carried a chilling killing intent.
The message was quite concise.
Hunt exotic beasts and collect beast tokens.
Only those ranked in the top fifty would be eligible to continue exploring the next layer.
Everyone who read the words felt their hearts tighten.
It said to hunt exotic beasts, but there was a quota limit.
What about those outside the top fifty?
Killing one exotic beast would only yield one beast token, but killing a person was a different matter...
These multiple rules undoubtedly turned this place into a dark forest. Not only did they have to hunt exotic beasts, but they also had to guard against human hearts.
Entering the Secret Realm, everyone was intentionally separated, which also prevented grouping.
Whoosh—
The sky curtain changed again.
Names appeared on it, but only the top fifty.
Clearly, those whose names remained on the list would gain eligibility to enter the next layer.
"Getting on this list means becoming a target, doesn't it?"
"Let's get to business first."
Li Mo took out his small notebook from his Pregnant.
He wasn't in a hurry to hunt beast tokens. The Opportunities in the Secret Realm were dispensable to him, as long as he could enter the next layer in the end.
Investment returns were the top priority.
Li Mo thought so.
However, things went against his wishes, and he hadn't walked far when the bones on the ground suddenly moved without wind and reassembled into a complete skeleton of an exotic beast. It looked like a bear-like exotic beast.
Bloody light emanated from its hollow eye sockets, gazing at Li Mo with a hunger for living beings and flesh.
"Its aura is roughly that of a Xuan Dan Realm."
"And without flesh and blood, it's even harder to deal with than an ordinary Xuan Dan Realm. If there are many of them, they could even threaten a Guan Shen Realm."
Li Mo was calculating the strength of the White Bone Bear.
Rumble—
The ground trembled, and the opponent had already pounced.
Its path was like a raging storm, crushing the bluestones it passed.
A single palm strike brought with it the sound of wind and thunder, a terrifying display of power.
However, it landed heavily on the ground but did not strike anything solid.
The little figure in its eyes had disappeared at some point.
"Hmph."
"A mere Xuan Dan Realm, take this sword!"
Chixiao Sword unsheathed, jingling and trembling, its sword light like a swift, coiling Dragon, fiery red sweeping forth, illuminating dozens of meters of darkness.
Have you ever seen a sword technique descend from the sky?
Li Mo's current swordplay was not weak.
Although he didn't have the Prodigy-level sword Dao talent, our Xiao Li, rotating between the Ice Cube and Princess Xiao Jiang, received constant immersion.
It was like doing practice questions every day.
In his previous life, there were 'small town test takers'.
He could be called the strongest 'small town swordsman'!
Whoosh—
The superior sword technique, driven by Karmic Fire, unleashed power beyond its usual capacity.
Crackling—
Dozens of sword lights intersected.
The White Bone Bear's body suddenly stiffened, and then exploded into brilliant fire.
Li Mo landed, holding the Chixiao Sword, expressionless, not even looking back at the explosion.
He just silently thought to himself:
"My goodness, cool!"
It was... even more satisfying than playing with Happy Wind Man or Li Bai, showing off.
"I'm just a little boy who loves to show off."
After complaining about /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ himself, Li Mo, sword in his right hand and touching the hammer under his clothes with his left, walked into the darkness.
.......
At the same time, in front of a deep cave, the girl was surrounded by a rosy glow, her black hair gently swaying, and the moisture in the air condensed into shimmering crystals, slowly falling.
The rosy glow, driven by her Inner Breath, slowly flowed in all directions.
"The Blood Phoenix Essence is indeed not in the first layer of the Secret Realm."
"I need to go to the next layer."
Ying Bing opened her eyes, her serene gaze seemingly piercing through the Void Realm.
She raised her Frost Sky Sword, its jade-colored blade pointing into the cave.
The darkness in the cave seemed impenetrable to even light, and a series of hissing sounds emanated from within. freёwebnoѵel.com
Rustle, rustle, rustle—
Countless giant white bone bats, dozens of them, emerged. The weaker ones emitted Inner Breath Jade Liquid Realm fluctuations, while the strongest white bone bat, with a faint ghostly glow, was already close to the Guan Shen Realm.
These white bone bats were known as Night Ghosts in their former lives.
For a moment, the area in front of the cave was filled with ghostly shadows.
But the next moment, a dazzling rosy glow swept forth.
.......
At this time, the ranking on the sky curtain also changed.
A name quickly climbed to the top.
Top of the List: Ying Bing, Number of Beast Tokens Collected: 27.
Sounds of astonishment and surprise rose and fell throughout the Secret Realm.
"How long has it been? She's already hunted twenty-seven exotic beasts?"
"This speed, she couldn't have just gotten lucky and picked them up on the side of the road, could she?"
"Notice, she didn't climb up one by one; she shot straight to the top of the list in an instant."
"That means she instantly killed so many white bone exotic beasts?!"
