After killing one person, Li Xiaotian cast a cold gaze at the group of people who had not yet entered the trial area, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes as he spoke in a cold voice.
"If you want to die, then follow me!"
With that, Li Xiaotian walked towards the depths. A hint of seriousness flashed in his eyes. As soon as he entered, he sensed a trace of a dangerous aura. It seemed a powerful creature was lurking in the shadows. In a fleeting glance, he only saw a pair of blue eyes disappear.
However, after he killed an enemy just now, the sense of being watched vanished. Li Xiaotian pondered as he pressed deeper into the island. Entering such a mysterious ancient island would not be smooth sailing, and any strange events were not to be wondered at.
After all, this trial of Hundred Battles City was nothing more than a selection of the strongest. If there were no dangers, then such trials would not be held only once every ten thousand years.
This was an island full of primeval aura, larger than a world. It was vast and boundless, floating in the cold universe, eternal and indestructible.
Even divided into nine zones, each region was vast enough.
Majestic ancient peaks and towering mountains stood like demons erected between heaven and earth. In front of them, ancient trees several thousand feet tall were rooted in the soil, full of vitality.
Many ancient vines intertwined, each as thick as a water vat, having grown for countless years. They coiled like dragons, resting on the giant mountains and hanging down the cliffs thousands of feet deep.
Roars echoed from the depths of the island. Clearly, like in the first stage, there were living beings on this island, and they were extremely powerful.
Li Xiaotian moved away. Outside the Sixth Zone, the powerhouses from various races who had planned to ambush Li Xiaotian hesitated for a moment before choosing to enter.
Clearly, Li Xiaotian's actions just now had not deterred these people.
"He's truly ruthless, killing without the slightest hesitation. He's very decisive."
"He killed a fellow Daoist in such a short time. His combat power cannot be underestimated. Everyone must be careful!"
"However, what we are more wary of is his strange power that erased our immortal attributes. That is the most terrifying."
"That is his Great Dao's power. We still don't know what Great Dao it is, but it must be a heaven-defying Great Dao that leads to the path of supremacy. If we could obtain it, hehe."
A group of people entered, speaking one after another, harboring both fear and greed towards Li Xiaotian. At the same time, they agreed to explore together, not separating, and to hunt Li Xiaotian while undergoing the trial.
"This person is insidious and poisonous. He will definitely intercept us. We must guard against him. However, with so many of us walking together, even if he has the ability to reach the heavens, he will still die!"
"Otherwise, he wouldn't have left in such a hurry just now. He looked fearless, but in reality, he was scared. He was just pretending."
Everyone analyzed, believing that Li Xiaotian had acted to establish his might, but in reality, Li Xiaotian was afraid and had fled in a hurry after killing one person.
Unfortunately, their imaginations were beautiful, but in reality, Li Xiaotian paid no attention to anything behind him and had no intention of ambushing them. He went straight into the depths of the trial grounds. He had missed many opportunities in the first stage, so he did not want to miss this second stage, which was why he left in a hurry.
On the square outside the Nine Directions Domain, the faces of the beings from various races who had not yet chosen a trial area changed. Dozens of powerhouses had entered, and no one believed that Li Xiaotian could pass this stage safely.
In the distance, there were still five powerhouses from the Demon Race. Some of them wanted to follow and enter the Sixth Zone, but they were stopped by their companions.
"So many people have gone in, why go and join the fun? We just need to wait. No matter which side wins, it will be good for us."
"If that human ant can survive until the end, hehe, fighting across regions would be interesting."
A group of people, carrying a powerful killing intent, directly broke into the Fifth Zone. Clearly, they did not want to waste time dealing with Li Xiaotian. However, by choosing the Fifth Zone, they had already decided that if Li Xiaotian did not die, they would not mind fighting across regions.
After all, for them, each of them was a proud son of heaven from a certain era of the Demon Race, fighting with a heavy seal. This was nothing to them.
In the Sixth Zone of the Nine Directions Domain, Li Xiaotian's trial area, a flying demonic beast traversed the sky. Its wingspan was a hundred feet wide. It had two heads, was completely black, and flew through the vast sky.
Then, it quickly swooped down towards a mountain valley, grabbed a giant beast more than ten meters long, tore it apart under the sky, and blood rained down. It devoured it in a few bites.
Blood splattered everywhere. This was a prehistoric scene of the survival of the fittest, filled with savagery and cruelty.
Li Xiaotian explored the Sixth Zone silently, unmoved by anything he saw. Although the native creatures here were powerful, as long as they didn't provoke him, he was too lazy to act.
A cluster of ancient trees surrounded by fire blocked his path. They were rooted in the flames, and the green flames flickered, unlike anything seen before. The surrounding area was filled with a temperature that seemed to melt space.
Li Xiaotian stopped and looked afar. Volcanoes stood one after another, forming a continuous chain, spewing flames. However, those ancient green trees grew vigorously, not withered, their leaves brilliant, displaying unusual phenomena.
Boom!
Suddenly, a terrifying aura swept over him, and killing intent surged. It rushed out from the ancient forest, rising with green flames covering the sky. A giant blue bird stood on an ancient tree several thousand feet tall, its red eyes captivating.
"Found you!" Li Xiaotian whispered, his eyes flashing.
When he first entered the Sixth Zone, he had sensed he was being watched. It was this giant bird, or rather, a blue phoenix-like bird. It was a demonic beast with a very ancient and powerful bloodline, rarely encountered even in the outside world.
