Swordholder

The place where life ended, the northern region.

When Bai Ze and his companions arrived, all they could see were the remains of ferocious beasts scattered across the ground, their blood staining the earth.

"Damn it, where are they?"

Bai Ze said angrily.

"Oh no, Elder Bai, they're heading towards the western region!"

A crow flew back, cawing sharply, clearly panicked.

Bai Ze's expression changed drastically, and he almost fell headfirst from mid-air.

After he regained his balance, his hair was disheveled and his eyes were bloodshot.

"Damn it! Are they bandits? Wasn't the slaughter in the eastern and northern regions enough? Now they've even come to the west?!"

Du Xuanzi, who had followed along, and many elders from the Western Frontier Royal Palace's Alchemy Pavilion were all dumbfounded and speechless!

Starting from the eastern region, heading north, then to the northeastern region, and then to the northern region... along the way, all the spiritual plants and fruits in each region disappeared, leaving the area cleaner than if a dog had dug it up.

As for the ferocious beasts, they were all slaughtered, not a single one was left.

This scene made them think that the human guys looked like bandits who had come here to buy goods, frantically harvesting with scythes and even carrying burlap sacks!

"Damn it, chase them!! We have to stop those insane bastards!!"

Bai Ze's face was ashen, as if his father had died. He roared madly and flew westward.

Du Xuanzi and the others were so shocked that they were speechless.

In the past, when some of the most talented humans were sent here, they were all extremely cautious, as if walking on thin ice.

They were either being chased by ferocious beasts or trapped in desperate situations, facing a slim chance of survival.

Unlike these current generation of human prodigies, who are all extremely arrogant and living such comfortable lives!

They even harvested the spiritual plants and fruits here! And they hunted down the ferocious beasts here relentlessly!

Do they think this is their own backyard?

This is utterly upside down!

A group of alchemists were filled with turbulent thoughts.

"Let's go after them and see what's going on."

Du Xuanzi said helplessly, "Even I have a bit of a headache."

If those little guys pick one or two spiritual plants or herbs, that's normal. Even if they pick dozens, we can barely bear it if we just endure it.

But they uprooted it completely, leaving no room for anything else, which is a bit too much!

A group of alchemists boarded a magic ship and flew westward toward the land of death.

Along the way, they discovered that the entire Land of Fallen Life had become extremely chaotic, with countless ferocious beasts fleeing for their lives as if they had encountered a great terror. This scene was unprecedented.

This scene terrified them, fearing that Chen Yuan and the others would really slaughter all the ferocious beasts in the Land of Death!

"Hurry! Speed ​​it up!"

A group of old men became agitated, shouting wildly as they propelled the Dharma boat westward.

……

Meanwhile, to the west of the place where life ended, Chen Yuan and his group were practically dizzy from exhaustion.

When Bai Ze and the others arrived, they saw bonfires with glistening, roasted beast meat on them, and a group of people lying on piles of grass, rubbing their bulging bellies, looking completely satisfied.

"You...you all!"

Bai Ze's eyes widened, his eyelids twitched incessantly, and his lips twitched; he was so angry he couldn't speak.

Chen Yuan and the others had clearly just finished a meal of meat.

Scattered on the ground were numerous gnawed beast bones, and the air was filled with the aroma of meat and wine.

Li Wei was still gnawing on a golden-brown roasted wild boar leg, his mouth dripping with oil.

Nuomi was the same; the huge, ferocious lamb leg in her arms was taller than her.

She was eating with great relish, her face beaming with satisfaction.

Besides them, Chen Yuan, Zhong Yue, and a dozen other human prodigies were all lying on the ground, their ears, noses, and mouths spewing smoke, and their bodies swirling with dense spiritual energy.

At first glance, only Zhu Xin sat elegantly on a rock, eating slowly and deliberately, which made her stand out from the crowd.

But a mountain of bones had already piled up around her, indicating that she had eaten even more ferocious beasts.

"Oh, Professor Bai is here."

Upon seeing the newcomer, Chen Yuan greeted him with a smile and great enthusiasm, while simultaneously waving the wine jug in his hand.

"Professor Bai, you've come at the perfect time. Would you like to have a drink together?"

I also have some lean, roasted meat from a ferocious beast, glistening with oil—it's incredibly delicious!

As Chen Yuan spoke, he pointed to the glistening, roasted beast meat next to him. Although his face was enthusiastic, his heart betrayed his disappointment.

Bai Ze has arrived, which proves that his guess was correct. This trial has come to an end.

"It's a pity we haven't been to the south, southeast, or southwest yet."

Chen Yuan sighed softly again, his voice low, but it left everyone around him speechless.

"Brother, don't upset Professor Bai. Look, his face has turned black."

Zhong Yue lay down next to Chen Yuan, chuckling to himself.

Chen Yuan led him on a crazy slaughter of ferocious beasts along the way, which was so exhilarating that he was willing to call Chen Yuan "Big Brother".

The alcohol in the room was the one he always carried with him; barbecue with alcohol, it's absolutely perfect.

Bai Ze heard their words clearly, and his face immediately darkened.

Seeing Chen Yuan grinning and urging Bai Ze to eat meat and drink wine, Bai Ze was filled with rage.

"Chen...Yuan!!"

Bai Ze roared, his eyes blazing with fury, wishing he could devour Chen Yuan alive. "How dare you drink and eat meat here?!"

He suppressed the anger in his chest and coldly shouted,

"My messenger crow has come to tell you that this trial is over!!"

Why don't you stop? Why do you continue to slaughter these ferocious beasts?

Chen Yuan looked surprised. "Messenger crow? What messenger crow? I've never seen one before."

"Hmph, you're still pretending. You're just like me, a crow."

A crow flapped its wings and flew above Chen Yuan and the others, its eyes bloodshot, and opened its mouth angrily.

"Oh, Professor Bai, you mean a crow like this? I thought it was a spy bird sent by those ferocious beasts to confuse us. Who knew it was one of your messenger crows?"

"Besides, there are still three days left in the trial. Who would believe a crow? So I just casually crushed that crow to death."

Chen Yuan grinned, his face showing a mixture of seriousness and helplessness.

"You...!!" Instructor Bai was furious, his eyes bloodshot and almost spitting fire. He pointed to the remains of the ferocious beasts, "Then why did you slaughter these beasts so relentlessly?"

He emphasized the word "crazy" with particular force.

Chen Yuan shrugged and laughed, "Professor Bai, what you're saying is a bit funny."

Bai Ze's pupils contracted, and he angrily demanded, "What did you say?"

He never expected that Chen Yuan would dare to ignore him like this!

Chen Yuan stood up.

At this moment, he was filled with terrifying energy, and even when he spoke, he could spew out red and black mist from his mouth and nostrils.

His hair was flowing freely, each strand exuding a dense and terrifying demonic and malevolent energy.

His condition caused Du Xuanzi in the air to focus his gaze and continuously send out powerful spiritual senses to sense the energy on Chen Yuan's body.

"Such surging blood energy, such overwhelming spiritual power..."

Du Xuanzi's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he murmured, "His flesh, bones, and meridians have probably all undergone a complete transformation, possessing the foundation for spiritual concentration. Good, very good!"

The other alchemists beside him also had burning desire in their eyes, as if they had seen a super spiritual plant, just like weapon refiners had seen a fine iron blank.

For them, the finest medicinal herbs for alchemy were a deadly temptation.
