Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 522 The Magic Mountain
The dragons went completely mad, because this was a dual trial of the Heavenly Rank and the Star Stele, from which there was no way to escape.

"Let's all die!"

"Kill, kill, kill!"

"Kill them all!"

The dragon's fighting spirit was ignited, unleashing a combat power far exceeding its usual strength.

But they were facing five entire ethnic groups.

Zhou Leng didn't even engage in close combat; the demonized javelins he had temporarily borrowed from the others were placed beside him.

Throw them one by one.

Boom...boom...boom...

Each spear hurtles at nearly four times the speed of sound, far exceeding the reaction speed of a dragon.

Their protective capabilities had long been destroyed by the demon spirit masters.

Puff... puff... puff...

One dragon after another had its wings torn apart by spears or its body pierced through.

As one dragon after another landed on the ground, the battle drew to a close.

The two sides engaged in the most brutal hand-to-hand combat.

The dragon, which had fallen to the ground, scratched and bit with its claws, fighting with its body while using magic.

They tried their best, but one after another they fell down.

From beginning to end, the dragons did not yield or surrender.

They flew into the great battlefield like overlords of the ten realms, and fell on the great battlefield like overlords.

Three Steel Dragons and Gray Steel Wind were the last to fall.

There was no roaring, no cursing, not even sorrow.

He closed his eyes, looking very peaceful.

To die on the battlefield is like having a peaceful end.

The victorious members of the five tribes either recuperated from their wounds or gathered their spoils.

In the end, everyone divided the spoils equally.

The five races gathered together, sharing the dragon meat, talking about the great battlefield, the war of the ten realms, the past, and the future.

They occasionally stole glances at Zhou Leng, but said nothing.

Zhou Leng simply ate the dragon meat quietly while chatting with Zhang Xinglie, Shan Heyuan, and the others.

Before long, the dwarves got drunk and started dancing together, and the atmosphere gradually returned to normal.

Representatives from various ethnic groups offered Zhou Leng a toast, without any persuasion; it was simply a toast and a drink, everything was contained in the wine.

Shanheyuan, his face flushed from drinking, staggered over from where the giants were.

He plopped down, causing the ground nearby to tremble slightly.

"Those guys were especially happy," Shanheyuan said, slightly tipsy.

"Because of victory?" Zhang Xinglie asked.

"It's not just about victory. They say that the Dragon Battlefield used to be extremely brutal. Often, the two sides would start fighting as soon as they met, regardless of any trials, and would fight from beginning to end. Not to mention ordinary Great Innate Realm cultivators, even the top geniuses would perish in the battle."

"This time, due to the constraints imposed by the Heavenly Rank, there were no large-scale casualties at the beginning."

"Then Zhou Leng appeared, uniting various races to exterminate demons at minimal cost, especially the dragons, which was unprecedented in the past."

"Some young giants felt that the giants needed to change their thinking; proper cooperation was better than stubborn resistance. Giants shouldn't be like the tree people, preferring to perish rather than change."

The nearby tree-man heard Shanheyuan's words and could not refute them.

Zhang Xinglie said, "However, we can't be too happy yet. Based on past experience, it's very difficult for us Great Innate Realm cultivators to obtain this kind of third-level Heavenly Rank. At least a Grandmaster or even a Martial Saint would be needed. If nothing unexpected happens, we will fail our trials one after another, and then we will enter the final battle stage."

Shanhe Yuandao: "Yes, in the end, it will all enter the stage of fierce fighting. It is said that each time it is nearing the end, 'precious aura and crimson clouds' will appear in the sky over various parts of the Great Battlefield. Under the precious aura and crimson clouds, treasures will surely emerge. At that time, it will be the most tragic moment."

"What treasures do you all want? I only want the Dragon Scale Vermilion Fruit, but unfortunately, Young Warrior didn't get it. It's said that only Dark Wrath obtained it. What about you?"

"I couldn't get it either," Shanhe Yuandao said.

Zhou Leng said, "I want one too, but I haven't found it yet. This thing is very important. If you come across it, try your best to get it."

"Yes, my father said that the Dragon Scale Vermilion Fruit should be one of the most important medicinal fruits in the Ten Realms, and its effect on Martial Saints is probably ranked first among all medicinal fruits."

"That important? I've heard about it before, but I didn't realize it was this important," Zhang Xinglie said.

“It’s more valuable than all the medicinal fruits we’ve had before combined,” Zhou Leng said.

"Then I'll have to think about it." Zhang Xinglie said seriously.

Shanhe Yuandao said, "It's best to eat it during the Innate stage. Eating it when you reach the Grandmaster stage isn't bad, but the effect will be slightly reduced. My dad said that, theoretically, the Dragon Scale Vermilion Fruit is the most suitable medicinal fruit for the Innate body."

"I hope this will be a reward during the trial," Zhang Xinglie said.

"Hopefully."

After everyone had rested for a day, Zhou Leng led those who had begun to understand the inscription to the back of the Star Stele.

Behind the star monument, a dark, rotating opening appeared.

Zhou Leng said, "This is the second trial of the Star Stele. I really want to go in, but theoretically I shouldn't be able to. Of course, I'll try."

In front of everyone, Zhou Leng walked to the cave entrance and reached out to touch it, but was blocked by an invisible force.

Others had tried to enter before, but were also blocked.

"What a pity..." many people sighed.

"I'm leaving now. I wish you all great success in your endeavors, completion of your trials, and a reunion of the Ten Realms."

Zhou Leng waved goodbye to everyone with a carefree air and turned to leave.

Zhang Xinglie, Shan Heyuan, and the others watched Zhou Leng's retreating figure in silence for a long time.

"Without Zhou Leng, what will we do with the remaining divine runes...?"

The group looked at the entrance to the second trial and walked over dejectedly.

Behind Zhou Leng, blood spheres formed a wall.

Stepping outside the Star Monument Trial area, Zhou Leng narrowed his eyes slightly.

When I arrived, there was a grassy area outside the Star Monument Trial.

Now, it has all turned into hard, red soil.

Zhou Leng carefully examined the map, recalling all the records about the great battlefield.

The hard, red soil was not uncommon on the great battlefields, and we couldn't recognize where we were at all. There was no other way but to grit our teeth and move forward.

Having gone through the trial of the simulated burial monument, Zhou Leng's strength had improved further, and he felt even calmer.

Unless something unexpected happens, nothing unexpected will happen.

Lift your foot, take a step, and keep moving forward.

Maintain a moderate speed of 200 meters per second, and occasionally consume pills or medicinal fruits.

We killed so many monsters and dragons this time that the loot is enough to last us a long time.

He ran while observing.

At first, this place was just barren red earth, with occasional rolling hills that obscured the view.

After running for a long time, we suddenly saw an irregularly shaped collapsed area ahead, about ten kilometers long and three or four kilometers wide.

Zhou Leng didn't think much of it and kept running.

Not long after, we saw the second large pit.

I stopped abruptly, and my heart started racing.

Dragon God's Seal Path.

Legend has it that a dragon god with wounded wings passed by a great battlefield, leaving a series of large craters in the ground.

This place is magical. Once you enter, no matter which direction you go, you will see the footprints of the Dragon God.

As Scarlet Eyes once said, if you encounter the Dragon God's Seal Path, try to enter it.

Zhou Leng had no intention of joining at all.

In the end, they still got in.

Just then, a black mist appeared ahead, and suddenly tore apart to reveal a pure black mountain.

Zhou Leng took a closer look.

A strange sound rang out.

Zhou Leng's vision went black, and his body flew backward for dozens of meters before crashing to the ground.

It took a full ten seconds before I opened my eyes and sat up, feeling dizzy.

Zhou Leng remembered what he had seen.

That black mountain is a thousand meters high, and it is covered with many large holes about a hundred meters in diameter.

A large white eyeball emerged from one of the large holes.

Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain.

Zhou Leng really wanted to curse.

A double-inauspicious location.

The Dragon God's Seal Road and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain overlapped.

The instant the white eyeballs were seen, an invisible force descended, impacting the martial arts will.

Fortunately, he first underwent the Divine Might Trial and then comprehended the power of the Star Tablet of the Slaughtering King, which greatly enhanced his martial will.

If you encounter the Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain right from the start, you'll be unconscious for at least three days.

This is just one eyeball.

Legend has it that a deity liked to collect the eyeballs of illusory gods and place them in the mountains.

Later, the deity left this place, but the Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain remained, becoming the nightmare of the trial participants.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain will continuously detect living beings within a certain range, then teleport there and use its divine eyes to observe them.

In mild cases, it can cause coma; in severe cases, it can lead to mental breakdown and complete loss of consciousness.

Moreover, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain possesses divine power; the more you fear it, the more likely it is to appear.

Legend has it that there is a great battlefield creature called "Eye Slave" that specializes in hunting down the Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain, taking the creatures stunned into unconsciousness by the mountain as its prey and reaping them with ease.

These eye slaves are not strong-willed, because even the most powerful monsters can be knocked unconscious by the power of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain.

On the contrary, their spiritual power was almost non-existent, so the power of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain bombarded them as if it were hitting a rock.

For example, earth elementals and undead flesh giants, because they are extremely foolish, are fearless of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain.

Some creatures, after being bombarded by the Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain, coincidentally became walking corpses, mindless monsters that instinctively followed the Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain.

Zhou Leng looked around.

Before they could figure out the Dragon God Seal Path, they encountered the Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain.

When will the Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain arrive next?
I looked at the map again.

Theoretically, I should leave this place.

But the problem is, who knows if going in other directions would be even more dangerous?

The safest way right now is to return the way we came, which might allow us to find the Remnant Heavenly Bone.

If you run around recklessly, you may never be able to return, resulting in failure of the trial.

But both the Dragon God's Seal Path and the Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain are fraught with danger.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain will create a giant eye impact, and the Dragon God Seal Path will be just as troublesome.

The blood of the wounded dragon god dripped onto this land, and the powerful dragon god's blood contained within it transformed into the Dragon Blood Guardians.

These Dragonblood Guardians will kill all living beings.

The good news is that if the Dragonblood Guard can be killed, it will turn into a cloud of dragon blood mist.

Once inside, you can absorb the residual power of the Dragon God.

However, the dragon blood mist will dissipate after three minutes and be reborn in a dragon god's footprint somewhere.

This time, the newly born Dragonblood Guardian will instinctively seek out the enemies who killed him before.

This means that the more Dragon Blood Guards are killed, the more they appear, in an endless stream.

Even if you don't kill the Dragonblood Guards you encounter, you can still encounter new Dragonblood Guards.

This is an unsolvable situation.

It is said that, except for a very few lucky ones, all those who enter the trial guided by the dragon's blood are doomed to die.

Especially for mages such as spirit masters and demon warlocks, the Dragonblood Guardians are immune to many spells because of their high level of life.

but……

Zhou Leng wondered, were the Dragon Blood Guards afraid of the Hundred-Eyed Demon Mountain?
