"Save the pleasantries," the leader of the Fire Feather tribe sneered. "Our mission this time is to eliminate all human warriors!"
"That's right!"
"Our Fire Feather tribe will not lose to humans in this generation's Great Desolate Trial."
"Our ancestor was the Sacred Emperor of the Fire Feather tribe, with unfathomable power. Even with just a trace of will and remnant soul left, he can still easily suppress a Human Sacred Emperor!"
The prodigies of the Fire Feather tribe were all spirited and brimming with confidence.
...
"Is the Great Desolate Trial finally about to begin?"
"I'm so excited!"
"It's said that the cultivation resources within the Great Desolate Divine Realm are a hundred times richer than the outside world!"
"Indeed, once we obtain a treasure, we'll immediately return to our clan and exchange it for divine abilities and artifacts to increase our combat power!"
Everyone was thrilled. After all, who wouldn't want to become stronger?
At this moment, the powerhouses from various races were also secretly gathering their strength, preparing to participate in the Great Desolate Trial.
...
"Dong~"
Bells and drums chimed in unison, and the gates of the Great Desolate Divine Realm finally opened.
Waves of vast, ancient aura washed over them.
This aura was filled with a sense of desolation and antiquity, as if it came from the long river of time in the ancient primordial era, so distant it was intoxicating.
It was also like fragments of stars from the desolate edges of the universe, immersing people in it, making them forget time, forget everything, leaving only a feeling of solitude in their hearts.
"This is the Great Desolate Divine Realm? It is indeed extraordinary."
"I feel that in this area, spiritual energy is inexhaustible, and it contains a rich ancient aura, completely different from our world."
"The Great Desolate Divine Realm is a relic of the ancient human race from the Primordial Era. This area is bound to contain many treasures."
"Let's go."
The human powerhouses were all immensely excited and poured through the gates.
As soon as these human powerhouses stepped into the Great Desolate Divine Realm, they immediately heard vast chanting.
This chanting seemed to have traversed billions of years of time, crossing space and time, carrying a strange rhythm.
An invisible ripple enveloped everyone, and then, the human powerhouses found that their surroundings abruptly changed, and they were in an ancient city.
The city was dilapidated, the streets were uneven, corpses were piled up, and dismembered bodies were scattered everywhere. Some corpses had already rotted into dry bones, with only some weapons still emitting a cold, sharp aura, sending shivers down their spines.
Moreover, there was a terrifying wave of power in the surroundings, making it difficult to breathe. It seemed that one could lose their life here with the slightest carelessness.
"These corpses are not ordinary corpses, but... Grand Void Divine Gold!" someone exclaimed in shock. "Grand Void Divine Gold, this is a rare material that can be used to forge divine armor, divine weapons, or to temper divine weapons."
The crowd erupted in excitement, frantically collecting the corpses.
Furthermore, they discovered that although the corpses were rotten, their bodies were still solid, containing astonishing vitality. No matter how severe the damage, they could heal quickly.
"These corpses are simply precious medicines that can temper the body and enhance physical fitness."
"Let's grab them quickly and try to leave this cursed place as soon as possible, otherwise, we'll be trapped to death."
"Exactly, we must seize the time and head to the divine hall!"
"I can feel that there are many treasures here."
Everyone's eyes were filled with heat as they began to search, hoping to find some good items.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a brilliant saber light struck, tearing through the sky, carrying an overwhelming killing intent, annihilating the void, causing the void to collapse, and crushing everything in its path.
"Not good, dodge quickly!"
"Damn it, someone is ambushing us."
"We've been targeted."
The prodigies of all races were startled.
"Bang bang bang—"
In an instant, almost everyone was attacked and instantly killed!
Blood splattered, and bodies fell to the ground.
"Swish!"
"Swish swish swish—"
A black shadow streaked across the sky, shooting towards human prodigies like lightning.
"Not good, it's an assassin from the Shadow Wolf tribe!"
The faces of the human prodigies changed slightly.
These assassins from the Shadow Wolf tribe were extremely cunning, never confronting head-on, and always targeting the weak.
Moreover, their methods were brutal, and each one was decisive in killing.
In just a blink of an eye, three more human prodigies fell.
"Damn it, why are there so many assassins all of a sudden?"
The human cultivators were enraged.
The number of human powerhouses who had entered the Great Desolate Divine Realm had already decreased by ninety percent.
"Don't panic, they can't do anything to us."
A human powerhouse stepped forward.
He was engulfed in flames, like a war god in the fire, his eyes blazing, like a massive sun.
He extended his palm and struck out. The void trembled, and the ground cracked. The assassin was sent flying with a single palm strike, falling to the ground, charred all over, and on the verge of death.
"Hiss~"
Seeing this, the human cultivators couldn't help but gasp.
This young human had actually repelled an assassin with one move, demonstrating terrifying strength!
"This person is so strong!"
"Who is he? Why is he so powerful?"
"It seems we underestimated the human powerhouses."
For a moment, the human cultivators were all awed.
At this time, the young human coldly snorted, "The strength of this batch of foreign prodigies is not bad. It's a pity that they've encountered our human experts, and their defeat is inevitable."
The newcomer was naturally Zhou Yan!
"Rumble..."
At this moment, the entire Great Desolate Divine Realm completely erupted into chaos.
There were shouts of killing everywhere, sounds of fighting, and screams of agony.
Within the Great Desolate Divine Realm, dangers lurked everywhere, and one could perish at any moment. With the slightest negligence, one's life would be lost. Some unlucky prodigies were killed as soon as they entered the Great Desolate Divine Realm.
"Puchi~"
"Chila~"
Blood splattered.
The rules of the Great Desolate Divine Realm were too profound, with countless laws intertwining and crisscrossing. One could easily fall into them and be ground into ashes.
All those present were prodigy-level powerhouses, but within the Great Desolate Divine Realm, they still found it difficult to move an inch. Some areas even had restrictions that required great effort to overcome.
Moreover, as they ventured deeper, some forbidden zones even harbored ancient ferocious beasts, posing a great threat.
From time to time, human powerhouses perished, and their screams echoed.
"Hahaha, human trash, you too have this day!"
A frenzied laugh rang out.
"Hmm?"
Zhou Yan's brow suddenly furrowed, and he looked up.
In the distance, dozens of figures were charging towards them.
They were precisely the Celestial Demon tribe, the Demon Spirit tribe, and others.
They had also arrived at the Great Desolate Divine Realm.
Moreover, each of them appeared extremely arrogant.
Because they had every right to be arrogant!
Because they came from Sacred Emperor tribes and Demon King tribes. In recent times, the Sacred Emperor tribes and Demon King tribes had joined forces to put pressure on humanity through offensive attacks.
