"Silence!"
In the sky, the dozen or so Saint Immortals spoke.
The voices instantly spread through all the streets of the Tianzhou ancient city, and the Holy Children of the various sects in those streets quieted down.
The Holy Children of each sect were basically at the cultivation of Ancestral Immortals. Although some Holy Children possessed strength comparable to Origin Immortals, their own realm was indeed "Ancestral Immortal".
Because, if one was an "Origin Immortal", they could not participate in this "Blood Purgatory Trial".
Within a sect, a Holy Child who advanced to an Origin Immortal could be called a "Vice Headmaster", and would no longer be a Holy Child.
"Various Holy Children, the Heavenly Court has opened the Primordial Ruin for many years now. Every year, three Blood Purgatory Trials are held. The first is to temper you. The second is to resolve the grudges between the disciples of the major sects. If both sides have a blood feud, they can enter the Primordial Ruin to resolve it. Outside, you are not allowed to fight. The third is also to increase your wealth. In conclusion, the Heavenly Court's Blood Purgatory Trial has been conducted many times, and I will not say more superfluous words. You are all very clear in your hearts."
An aged Saint Immortal spoke in the air: "However, because the Heavenly Court will hold the Geniuses' Battle shortly, the core seed Golden Immortal disciples of the various sects, as well as you Holy Children, will all compete. The victors can receive handsome rewards, and can also soar to the heavens in a single bound, gaining the favor of the Heavenly Monarchs. This Blood Purgatory Trial is precisely the prelude to the Geniuses' Battle. Our Heavenly Court will open up many dangerous demonic regions to provide your final tempering. They contain boundless wealth, and if you can obtain it, it is a grand opportunity. It is possible to stand out in the Geniuses' Battle."
"Alright, Saint Taiyi, let us join forces to activate the domain portal and open the passage from Tianzhou to the Primordial Ruin. Let these disciples enter."
"The Blood Purgatory Trial lasts for exactly seven days in total. From the first to the seventh day, the domain portal here will reopen, and you can come out from the domain portal. But remember, after seven days, the time the domain portal reopens is only three hours. If you cannot come out within three hours, then you will be trapped inside. Never to come out again."
Several Saint Immortals spoke simultaneously.
Suddenly, the dozen or so Saint Immortals simultaneously struck out a divine light, piercing right through heaven and earth. High up in the firmament, a portal slowly opened.
This portal stood ten thousand miles high, towering into the sky. On the other side of the portal, there were jet-black dark clouds, countless giant planets, as well as some primordial divine mountains, alternate dimensions, and floating continents… Waves of soul-shocking auras of demon gods emanated from within. Primordial vengeful spirits roared inside, ancient divine beasts galloped, and the intents of the evil path laughed hysterically, waiting to swallow the numerous entering Holy Children.
The perilous aura conveyed from this "Primordial Ruin" caused even Fang Han's heart to tremble.
He became secretly cautious, because he smelled a thick scent of danger from within it.
The "Primordial Ruin," as Fang Han now knew, was a forbidden zone of the Heavenly Court. It was rumored to have been pioneered by the Creation Immortal King in the ancient times, converging many battlefields of the wars between gods and demons, and shattered spaces, all together. It was a testing ground for the disciples of the Heavenly Court in the ancient era, and later also became the prison where the Heavenly Court exiled evil-path cultivators.
This was an absolute dead zone for gods and demons, and also a land of treasures.
"Go!"
The moment the domain portal standing ten thousand miles high opened, the Holy Children of many sects flew up in flocks and groups, transforming into intense divine lights, charging towards the domain portal.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh…
Countless experts entered like flies and locusts, as if they were rushing to be reincarnated.
"We will go too." Sun Shihua nodded to Fang Han and let out a loud roar. Countless thunderbolts exploded around his body, transforming into a long dragon of thunderbolts, directly charging towards the domain portal with a fierce and violent momentum.
Upon reaching the midair, the Holy Children of some other sects were successively shaken away by him. At this time, he began to make moves against the sects that had grudges with the Yuhua Sect.
Fang Han, however, directly displayed the Limitless Walker, taking a step ahead and snatching the position in front of Sun Shihua.
"Damn it!"
"This is the Yuhua Sect's Sun Shihua, deeply loyal to his sect and hostile to the disciples of other sects. Don't run into him, otherwise we'll all run out of luck." The Holy Children of some other sects were repelled by him and successively made way, while some had already been struck by him until they spat blood. Before even entering the Primordial Ruin, they were already injured.
Fang Han saw that these injured Holy Children were all disciples of sects that had enmity with the Yuhua Sect.
"Junior Brother Feng Yuan, what fast speed. Let's compete like this, after entering the Primordial Ruin, see who slaughters more Holy Children." Seeing that Fang Han actually snatched the position right in front of him, Sun Shihua seemed to disbelieve it a bit, but it further stimulated his competitiveness, and he immediately said with towering heroism.
"Better to search for the treasures in the Primordial Ruin first. I heard the Heavenly Court opened some new dangerous regions containing King-grade spirit meridians. We must first acquire these spirit meridians, and not let these spirit meridians fall into the hands of others." Fang Han said.
He always emphasized practical benefits. Entering the Primordial Ruin for the Blood Purgatory Trial, naturally, the first thing to snatch was spirit meridians.
"Good! I know some news. Opening the Primordial Ruin this time, the Heavenly Court definitely has many alternate dimensions. I have already come to participate in the Blood Purgatory Trial multiple times and know some secretive news about alternate dimensions. As soon as we enter the domain portal, we will flee immediately, and first gather wealth."
Sun Shihua let out continuous long howls, accelerating once again, charging into the Primordial Ruin within the domain portal.
Fang Han also secretly utilized the Wings of Freedom that had already advanced to a high-grade immortal artifact. With a swoosh, they spread open, and he arrived in front of Sun Shihua once again.
Entering the domain portal, the scenery shifted. The air tightened, much more solid than outside, with streams of mist drifting about. It was a vast expanse of void. Within the void floated countless giant planets, floating continents, and primordial divine mountains.
"Let's move out first!"
Fang Han first entered the Primordial Ruin within the domain portal. His feet touching the ground, he was actually on a floating continent. The land of this floating continent stretched out for hundreds of trillions of miles. Many powerful demonic beasts lay dormant within it, and deep inside the floating continent, it seemed many spirit meridians were also dormant.
With a sweep of his divine eyes, he discovered many rare medicinal herbs growing on this floating continent; some of the herbs were prime materials for concocting King-grade immortal pills.
Within the Primordial Ruin, natural treasures were truly everywhere! It was indeed a good venue for trials.
With a casual sweep, Fang Han discovered that this floating continent concealed at least thousands of first-grade spirit meridians, as well as countless second-grade and third-grade spirit meridians. These abundant spirit meridians nourished incomparably powerful divine beasts.
Even over the ocean surface, where demonic beasts arose everywhere, Fang Han had never seen so many demonic beasts.
With so many treasures in the Primordial Ruin, it was no wonder that even though it was incomparably dangerous, the Holy Children of numerous major sects still came in one by one without regard for their lives.
However, at this moment, Fang Han simply had no time to go gather them.
Because he looked up behind him. Inside the tall domain portal, densely packed Holy Children flew in from it. Some Holy Children, having just entered the Primordial Ruin, began to launch attacks at one another, plunging into absolute chaos.
Among the thousands upon thousands of Holy Children, a few super-tyrannical ones had already locked their divine intent onto him, displaying a cold murderous intent. They were going to make a move on him.
"Right, the Holy Children of the Tai Yi Sect are eyeing us. It's too dangerous here, and not a good place for a death match! We'll go deep inside first." Sun Shihua arrived behind Fang Han a step later. The small group formed by Dao Xu Shengzi and the others had also long been wrapped in Fang Han's true energy and brought by his side.
"These Holy Children have simply gone mad. There are truly too many treasures in the Primordial Ruin. I can feel the auras of spirit meridians everywhere!"
Fang Han utilized the Grotto Heaven Eye and looked towards the distance. He found that on some floating alternate dimensions, giant planets, and primordial divine mountains in the air, countless spirit meridians were also shining brightly, with exotic flowers and rare grasses, precious spiritual medicines, and ore immortal woods growing everywhere.
"Exactly. Some Holy Children who participated in the Blood Purgatory Trial a few times and didn't die immediately became obscenely rich." Dao Xu Shengzi said.
"The demonic beasts on this floating continent have been alarmed!"
While divine intents were exchanging, numerous Holy Children rushed in from the domain portal, also alarming many demonic beasts on this floating continent. Immediately, densely packed demonic beasts flew up from deep within the continent, blanketing over to cover the sky and earth. Fang Han actually saw a flock of giant Kunpeng stretching for thousands of miles, ferocious and evil, spitting out the water of deep darkness. These Kunpeng were all at the Golden Immortal cultivation! The countless demonic beasts behind them were terrifyingly powerful.
"Why are the demonic beasts in this Primordial Ruin so strong!" Seeing this scene, even Fang Han was startled. Coming into a flock of Golden Immortal-level Kunpeng right upon entering, what would he encounter if he went deeper inside?
A flock of Golden Immortal-level Kunpeng, if brought outside, could directly form a major demon race sect and wreak havoc everywhere.
"Good! This flock of Kunpeng is a full hundred in number, they can serve as materials for me to refine a flying magic treasure."
Rumble!
A powerful intent soared up. Among the numerous Holy Children, Fang Han saw a divine hand tear through the long space, covering fully over a hundred million miles, and boom out, actually with a single grab directly catching all the Kunpeng demonic beasts into its palm. Countless powerful demonic beasts behind them successively exploded under the divine hand.
"This is! The Holy Child of the Brahma Cloud Sect, the Brahma Qi King. It is rumored that he is the reincarnation of an ancient Saint Immortal. He has successfully cultivated the supreme Dao art of the Brahma Cloud Sect, the Brahma Heaven Palm. Thrusting out a single palm is enough to suppress the myriad ages and tear apart ancestral spirits."
Seeing this Holy Child, Sun Shihua gave a cold laugh: "He is also a mortal enemy of my Yuhua Sect, but we won't bicker with him. Once we find an opportunity, we will lure him into a dead end, then refine and kill him."
This small group of the Yuhua Sect, amidst the flying flocks of demonic beasts and the entering Holy Children, vanished with a swoosh, directly delving into the depths of the Primordial Ruin.
"Hateful! This Sun Shihua, as well as that Feng Yuan of the Yuhua Sect, run so fast! They didn't even give us a chance to obliterate them. However, this Blood Purgatory Trial lasts a total of seven days, I just don't believe how long they can run."
Right where Fang Han, Sun Shihua, and the others had just departed, a few men with tyrannical magic power landed.
