I am getting stronger and stronger in the world of demons and monsters

Ten seconds,

It seems very short.

However, for Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, and Guan Gu and Tian Guang, both experts with the Dragon Elephant gene, and for Han Liu...
Every second felt like an eternity, an incredibly long time!

They stared intently at the receding figure.

The leader of the fifth-tier plant-type source beast, the climbing beast, who was relentlessly attacking Lin Xuankong and his companions.

The instant the ten seconds were up.
As Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, charged madly toward the mountaintop, he roared, "Brothers, let's charge together! We'll reach the top in five seconds, and then grab the fifth-tier source stone crystals in a maximum of seven seconds. The success of this joint operation hinges on this!"

Guan Gu and Tian Guang, both experts with the Dragon Elephant Gene, along with Han Liu, all pushed themselves to their maximum speed, rushing towards the mountaintop together with Zhang Yun, the second strongest expert in Yun City.

For an ordinary person, climbing a huge mountain several thousand meters high to the top would probably take at least a whole day, and the mountain would also require enough steps to make it easy to climb!
However, in the face of a life form at the top level of the sixth order, a mountain thousands of meters high, no matter how steep, is as flat as walking on flat ground!
The four figures instantly transformed into streaks of light, shooting straight towards the top of the mountain at an astonishing speed!

Between the summit and the foot of this massive mountain, there are naturally a large number of seventh, eighth, ninth, and sixth-tier climbing beasts. They are all guarding their leaders' lairs and will not hesitate to attack any life form that attempts to reach the summit!
The speed at which Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, rushed from the foot of the mountain to the halfway point was extremely fast, taking only two seconds. Along the way, they encountered mostly low-level eighth and ninth-tier plant-type source beasts, the climbing beasts! Facing these eighth and ninth-tier plant-type source beasts, Zhang Yun and his group didn't hesitate for a moment. They either charged past them from the side or directly rammed into them, smashing the roots and vines of the eighth and ninth-tier plant-type source beasts blocking their path to pieces!
But when the four of them reached the halfway point of the mountain, trouble finally came!

Blocking the way ahead were seven or eight hundred climbing beasts, plant-type source beasts at the top level of the seventh rank, and more than a dozen climbing beasts at the top level of the sixth rank!

The seventh-tier top-level plant-type source beast, the climbing beast, is of course no match for the sixth-tier top-level dragon-elephant gene powerhouse. Even if they cannot easily smash these seventh-tier top-level plant-type source beasts, climbing beasts, as easily as breaking a glass bottle, they can still cut off all the vines of the seventh-tier top-level climbing beasts blocking their way while running!
The problem is that there are too many climbing beasts at the top level of the seventh tier. Even if they can cut their way through, it will take at least three seconds!

What troubled Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, and Guan Gutian, a Dragon Elephant Gene expert, the most was that there were also more than a dozen highly mobile sixth-order top-level climbing beasts!

Of course, a climbing beast at the top level of the sixth-order life form would be no match for Zhang Yun and Tian Guangguan. As the best among the sixth-order life form warriors of the Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors, they possess the strength to easily defeat opponents of the same life form level!
Even if they could easily defeat them, it would still take them at least three to five seconds to knock down these sixth-tier top-level climbing beasts!
This stretches out the time!
For the group of people at this moment, every second was incredibly precious, bought with the enormous risk of their lives by Lin Xuankong, Sun Lin, and Huang Liang!

"Follow me!"

Running at full speed without the slightest hesitation, Han Liu roared as he looked at the large number of seventh-tier top-level and sixth-tier top-level climbing beasts blocking his path.

At this moment, Han Liu was also very clear that the opportunity for him and Zhang Yun to rush to the top of the mountain and seize the fifth-order source stone crystal was obtained by his teacher Lin Xuankong at great risk. Such an opportunity could not be missed, otherwise it would be an absolute disrespect to his teacher Lin Xuankong!

At this moment, what I need to do most is not to worry about my teacher Lin Xuankong, nor to silently bless my teacher Lin Xuankong, but to mobilize all my strength and rush to the top of the mountain at the fastest speed I can, and grab the fifth-order source stone crystal. Only in this way can I live up to my teacher Lin Xuankong's efforts!
Suddenly hearing Han Liu's loud shout,
Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, and Guan Gutian, a powerhouse with the Dragon Elephant Gene, couldn't help but look at Han Liu. Then, all three of them brightened up and quickened their pace, which had been slightly slow.

In their field of vision, right in front of Han Liu, there appeared an enormous Void Devouring Worm, over a hundred meters long, writhing in mid-air!

As soon as the Void Devouring Insect appeared, it flashed in front of Han Liu and devoured all the dozens of top-tier seventh-order climbing beasts blocking Han Liu's way. It even swallowed half of a top-tier sixth-order climbing beast!

Those climbing beasts of the seventh and sixth life levels, which required the full strength of Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, and Guan Gutian, a powerhouse with the Dragon Elephant Gene, to directly smash or repel, were unable to stop Han Liu's powerful and terrifying Void Devouring Insects for even a fraction of a second!

Their tough, vine-like bodies, strong enough to shatter alloys, were like air in the mouth of the giant Void-Eating Insect, utterly useless!
Whether it's a climbing beast at the seventh-tier top life level or a climbing beast at the sixth-tier top life level, their huge bodies will be completely devoured into nothingness by Han Liu's terrifying Void Devouring Insects in the blink of an eye!
More than ten years ago,

There was a reason why the owner of the Void Devouring Worm manifestation that once appeared in the Tang Kingdom was able to become famous throughout the entire planet and even attract the personal attention of powerful figures from other hostile nations to eliminate him!

This powerful and terrifying super-manifestation, the Void Devouring Insect, possesses a true crushing ability—an overwhelming ability to crush all life forms of the same level!
Regardless of whether the opponent is an animal-type source beast, a plant-type source beast, or a top human gene powerhouse, their powerful bodies will instantly turn into nothingness once they come into contact with the mouth of the Void Devouring Insect, which is covered with countless void teeth!
Faced with Han Liu's terrifying Void Devouring Insects, life forms of the same level seem to have only one option: to evade, frantically avoid the attacks from the Void Devouring Insects' mouths, or to try to directly attack Han Liu's body. Apart from these two options, all other choices are wrong!
"The Void Devouring Insect is truly awesome! Hahahaha, we're absolutely certain we'll achieve our goal this time! Hurry, hurry, keep up with Mr. Han Liu!"

Guan Gu, a powerful expert with the Dragon Elephant Gene, was originally planning to go all out and cut down all the seventh-tier and sixth-tier life-level climbing beasts blocking his way. However, before he could actually rush through, Han Liu had already used the Void Devouring Insect to clear a path through the densely packed horde of plant-type source beasts and climbing beasts blocking his way!

Seeing this, how could Guan Gu and the others, powerful members of the Dragon Elephant Gene, not be excited?

Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, and Tian Guang, the Dragon-Elephant Gene expert, both showed excitement and quickened their pace to catch up with Han Liu. "Inviting Mr. Lin Kong and Mr. Han Liu to join our joint team is one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. I always thought highly of Mr. Lin Kong, but I never imagined that Mr. Han Liu's Devouring Void Worm would have reached this level. Hahaha, our goal is not far from being achieved!"

Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, laughed heartily and followed closely beside Han Liu.

The four of them continued forward, and in the blink of an eye, they passed one of the largest herds of climbing beasts guarding the mountain peak.

Behind the four of them, almost half of the seventh-tier top-level climbing beasts had vanished, reduced to nothingness by Han Liu's Devouring Void Worms. The remaining dozen or so sixth-tier top-level climbing beasts had also had at least half of their bodies devoured by Han Liu's Devouring Void Worms, greatly reducing their combat power. Among them, three sixth-tier top-level climbing beasts, which had stubbornly resisted the sixth-tier Devouring Void Worms, had their entire bodies, vines, and roots devoured by the Devouring Void Worms, perishing completely!

In less than a second, so many seventh-tier top-level climbing beasts were killed, and even three sixth-tier top-level climbing beasts were killed!
Such killing efficiency, such combat ability, and such ferocious Void Devouring Insects were all things that Zhang Yun and Guan Gutian, the second strongest in Yuncheng, had never imagined!

At this moment, even Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, felt that it was incredibly lucky for Han Liu, a powerful genetic expert with the top-tier special ability of the Void Devouring Worm, to be assigned to their group!
Otherwise, the dense and powerful horde of climbing beasts guarding the nest, starting from the mountainside, would significantly prolong the time it would take their four-person team to reach the summit, and greatly increase the risks! Although Dragon-Elephant Gene experts possess extremely powerful combat abilities, these abilities are primarily designed for single opponents. They simply cannot devour large numbers of climbing beasts with a single bite, unlike Han Liu's Hundred-Meter Void-Eating Worm!
After Han Liu's Void-Eating Insects went berserk
The four-person team's progress efficiency increased significantly once again. Zhang Yun, Guan Gu, and Tian Guang no longer needed to use their bodies to smash through the plant-type source beasts and climbing beasts blocking their way!

In this way, their running speed will not be slowed down, and the time it takes to reach the top of the mountain will be reduced!
Just three seconds later, the four-person team had already reached the edge of the huge mountain peak. Such speed and efficiency were much shorter than the time estimated by Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng!
After reaching this position, Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, Guan Gu and Tian Guang, both experts with the Dragon Elephant Gene, and Han Liu all excitedly raised their heads and carefully looked into the huge nest on the peak!
Just at this time,

At a height of over ten kilometers above the mountain peak,
A huge white cloud has already drifted over!
Amidst the white clouds, Wu Yong, the white-robed Wu Yong, slowly flapped his wings, while Wu Yong, standing atop the giant flying beast, squinted and carefully peered at the enormous nest atop the peak.

"So this is a classic case of luring the snake out of its hole first, and then 'nothing ventured, nothing gained'? Zhang Yun, Zhang Yun, your plan is indeed very well arranged!"

You actually managed to lure away that huge and terrifying fifth-tier life level climbing beast leader, and even rushed into the climbing beast's lair in such a short time!

Tsk tsk, there are ten corpses of fifth-tier life-level animal-type source beasts casually lying there? A fifth-tier thorn beast corpse, a fifth-tier python corpse, a fifth-tier pig beast corpse, hahahaha, that's equivalent to ten fifth-tier source stone crystals lying there!

Heavens above, you have truly given me, Wu Yong in white robes, a tremendous opportunity!
"Hahahaha, all these fifth-tier source stone crystals should belong to me, Wu Yong in white robes! They're all mine! Hahahaha!"

Wu Yong, dressed in white, laughed wildly a few times. He then exerted a little force with his feet, and the huge flying source beast sensed its master's intention. It immediately carried the white cloud and pressed down towards the peak of the huge mountain.

at the same time,

Several hundred meters behind Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yuncheng, and Guan Gu, among others, stood a massive, broken tree.
A phantom figure gradually solidified.
The long-haired man who had been monitoring Zhang Yun and the others appeared quietly.

He first glanced at Zhang Yun and the other three, a cold smile appearing on his lips, then looked up at the rapidly descending white clouds in the sky, muttering to himself:

"Wu Yong in white robes, it seems you've decided to wade into these muddy waters. You truly are the troublemaker despised by countless gene warriors!"

But that's fine too. You, Wu Yong in white robes, will make the first move to snatch the fifth-tier source crystal. Once you've drawn the firepower of Zhang Yun and the other three, it will be my turn, He Yin, to get the fifth-tier source crystal!

"The mantis reaps the reward, unaware of the oriole behind. Wu Yong in white robes, you think you're the oriole, but little do you know, the real oriole is me, He Yin!"

Thinking that he would soon obtain a fifth-tier source stone crystal, the most precious resource that every top-tier sixth-tier life level expert dreamed of, the long-haired man He Yin's breathing became slightly rapid.

After muttering these words to himself, the solid figure of the long-haired man began to gradually become illusory, and in less than half a second, he had disappeared from the spot.

On the ground, a line of footprints quickly appeared, leading directly to the back of Zhang Yun, the second strongest in Yun City, and his group.

This enormous and terrifying lair of the fifth-tier mountain beast leader was now teeming with top-tier sixth-tier life-level experts. The deadly allure of the fifth-tier source stone crystals was indeed enough to drive every sixth-tier life-level expert mad! (End of Chapter)
