Nebulae swirled, and chaos permeated. This was a world that existed in the unknown, opening only once every ten thousand years. Never before had outsiders entered.
At the end of the grey, misty land, not only were there many points of light, but nearby, there were also some beautiful peaks, adorned with ancient palaces and pavilions, where strange figures danced.
Light rain fell, like fireworks blooming one after another, and as large swathes of light streaked across, they were like meteors traversing the sky, brilliant and dazzling.
Li Xiaotian appeared in a desolate wilderness, gazing at this strange world with astonishment.
This place was truly mysterious, vast and boundless. Faint talismans flickered from time to time among the mountains and rivers, as if earthly treasures were about to be unearthed.
Besides this, the scenery of the mountains and rivers was magnificent, with ancient trees soaring into the clouds and waterfalls cascading from the sky. The only difference from the outside world was the pervasive light rain, resembling a mythical realm, forming ephemeral talismans.
"Roar..."
A roar that shook heaven and earth emanated from the distant forest. A colossal beast cried out to the sky, its height reaching tens of thousands of feet, obscuring a vast expanse of the heavens.
"There are living beings here! It's very similar to the Mountain Emperor World," Li Xiaotian murmured, his heart also shocked. Even with his eyesight, he couldn't discern the appearance of this colossal beast.
However, he could confirm that it was a peak sixth-tier demon beast.
Encountering a peak sixth-tier demon beast immediately upon entry painted a picture of how terrifying this trial battlefield was.
No wonder there were records of high-level experts perishing here.
"Where are the other trial-takers?"
Li Xiaotian frowned. All he could see was himself. Had those trial-takers not arrived here yet?
Or was it like the arena in the past, with each trial-taker in a separate world?
But in the next moment, Li Xiaotian shook his head. Clearly, this conjecture was impossible. If that were the case, this trial would be meaningless.
Since it was called a battlefield by the outside world, it must be a place where countless experts clashed and fought together, not like an arena where one fought countless projections.
"Boom! Boom!"
Just as Li Xiaotian was wondering about the absence of other living beings, suddenly, from one direction, came the sound of heavy footsteps. The earth vibrated continuously. In the next moment, a golden colossus charged forward, its species unknown, its entire body covered in golden scales, exuding a terrifying aura.
Another peak sixth-tier demon beast!
Li Xiaotian was shocked. A second peak sixth-tier beast. How many peak sixth-tier beasts were there in this world?
One had to know that peak sixth-tier experts were already considered overlords in the outside world, yet here, he had already seen two in such a short time.
However, he quickly stopped his wild thoughts, as this beast of unknown species was getting closer and closer to him.
"Roar!"
The beast roared, its terrifying aura surging forward. Its eight scarlet eyes were striking like gemstones.
Li Xiaotian's lips curved, and without the slightest hesitation, he met it head-on, throwing a punch.
"Boom!"
Chaos essence surged, and terrifying killing intent instantly engulfed the beast.
"Crack!"
With a loud crack, the beast's head split open, and golden blood flowed out.
In one strike, he had pierced the defense of a peak sixth-tier demon beast, and this was merely Li Xiaotian's casual punch.
"Roar..." The beast roared, its aura turning wild. Its eight eyes spewed out a stream of red light, lunging towards Li Xiaotian, clearly enraged.
This beast was not weak. It was a king in this forest, with virtually no natural enemies. Unfortunately, it had encountered Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian punched simply, his moves basic and ancient, but the destructive power contained within them was terrifyingly astonishing.
"Boom!" The beast suffered a heavy blow, flying backward and exploding directly, blood rain scattering. It didn't even have time to let out a scream.
