As the terrifying roar erupted, the entire first and second zones began to tremble. Even the hundred-foot and one hundred fifty-foot sculptures seemed on the verge of collapse, ready to topple at any moment. The deafening noise shook the very air, and everyone present could feel it. Warriors who had entered the area in groups sensed the ground’s undulation and the spreading aura of danger, their eyes drawn to the depths with expressions of astonishment. What on earth was happening?
Ye Wushuang and his companions were naturally startled as well, their gazes fixed on the final zone. “It seems someone has entered the third zone and triggered something…” Qin Muyu spoke up. Soon, warriors from all directions converged toward the third zone.
Beyond the hundreds of towering sculptures that stood like mountain ranges, the third zone was a vast expanse of flat land. At the end of this land, a sheer stone cliff stretched across, barring the way for everyone. When the crowd gathered here, two groups of people were already standing in front of the cliff, examining it closely.
One was Xie Xinxin from the Xie family of Yongzhou, who had always moved swiftly through the Bai Ling Mountain area. The other was the purple-clad young man from the Central Continent of Tianyuan. These two groups stood before the cliff, scrutinizing it with great care. The mountain extended horizontally to an unknown distance, and on this side, its surface was flat, rising to a height of three hundred feet. At this moment, people from all factions had arrived.
Liang Sirui from the Liang family of Liangzhou. Chao Tianque from the Chao family of the Great Dynasty Province. Jiang Haokong and Jiang Ziyin from Jiangzhou. Yuan Tianzong and Wen Zhen from the Qi Yao Pavilion of Jie Yuan Province. Since their appearance, these individuals had always exerted immense pressure on everyone else.
Li Bufan from the Li clan of Qingzhou and Qiu Zhiyan from Taiqing Palace were also present. Upon seeing Ye Wushuang, Qin Muyu, and Li Wenqing, their expressions became somewhat unnatural. In the first zone, Ye Wushuang had made a powerful move, killing Shi Wenbo, and earned the recognition of other provincial elites like Liang Sirui and Xie Xinxin. In the second zone, Ye Wushuang continued to attract the favor of the sculptures one after another. This made Li Bufan and Qiu Zhiyan feel that compared to Ye Wushuang, they were truly overshadowed. A true genius, like Ye Wushuang, would never be dimmed by others, no matter where they went.
“The third zone… this should be… the End-of-the-World Cliff!” Yuan Tianzong stood with his hands behind his back at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the summit and said with a smile, “Since everyone is here, shall we give it a try together?”
Upon hearing this, Chao Tianque from the Chao family replied with a smile, “Brother Yuan, why don’t you go first?”
“I’m not qualified enough,” Yuan Tianzong said modestly. The elites from other provinces apparently knew something about this place and were quite familiar with it. However, most of the warriors from Qingzhou were somewhat puzzled.
Yuan Tianzong approached Ye Wushuang and his group,拱ed his hands at Ye Wushuang, and said, “The Guangling Cliff is divided into several different areas, and we are still within the Bai Ling Mountain area. This is the last zone of Bai Ling Mountain, called the End-of-the-World Cliff. There is an assessment here, which tests the talent and temperament of warriors more than the first and second zones, but the rewards… are definitely worth it.”
Ye Wushuang nodded upon hearing this. Yuan Tianzong looked around and then whispered to Ye Wushuang, “That young man in purple is from the Tian Dao Palace of the Central Continent. His name is Xu Ziqian, a genuine prodigy. He is probably around your age… It’s better not to provoke him!”
Tian Dao Palace? Ye Wushuang had some impression of this name. After all, his eighth reincarnation, Ling Shengtian, had grown up in the Central Continent of Tianyuan. Although more than two thousand years had passed and the Central Continent had changed, it was not that exaggerated.
“I think the others won’t pose much of a threat to you,” Yuan Tianzong said with a smile. “But if I find any opportunity, I hope Brother Ye won’t compete with me!”
“I won’t,” Ye Wushuang replied.
At this moment, more than two hundred people gathered in front of the cliff, looking up at the summit, unsure of what to do next.
“There’s no need to waste time here,” Jiang Haokong from the Jiang family of Jiangzhou finally stepped forward and said seriously, “The true essence of the End-of-the-World Cliff can only be seen by climbing to the peak. However, the mountain is sealed. Shall we work together to break the seal first?”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Xu Ziqian from the Tian Dao Palace smiled and said, “Why go through so much trouble?”
With a smile, Xu Ziqian clenched his palm, and a bracelet materialized in his hand. The surface of the bracelet was engraved with the figure of a silver dragon. With a wave of his hand, the bracelet soared into the air, and the silver dragon figure rushed toward the mountain. The dragon roared, its cry deafening, and immediately, the mountain’s surface began to emit a series of light patterns. These patterns transformed into the shapes of crossbows, which shot out arrows in an instant.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The arrows struck the dragon’s body, but the hundred-foot-long dragon endured the attack. This assault continued for about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea before finally ceasing. Xu Ziqian summoned the bracelet back with a flick of his hand.
Yuan Tianzong glanced at Ye Wushuang and said, “See? A genius from the Tian Dao Palace can wield a heavenly king-level spirit artifact with just one move…”
A heavenly king-level spirit artifact is something that matches the power of a return-to-origin realm cultivator. For a cultivator of the myriad laws realm to possess such an artifact is quite rare.
“With the seal broken, if no one else is going to make a move, I’ll take the lead!” Xu Ziqian said with a smile as he looked at the mountain peak. “It’s said that climbing to the three hundred-foot summit of the End-of-the-World Cliff will bring unexpected rewards.”
From the moment he appeared, Xu Ziqian had shown little interest in the rewards from the sculptures, but now he seemed intrigued. Clearly, the final zone of Bai Ling Mountain, the End-of-the-World Cliff, was extraordinary.
Xu Ziqian took a step forward and began to climb the mountain. Immediately, a stone staircase appeared on the previously flat and unremarkable mountain surface, leading all the way to the summit. In an instant, others also began to move. As more and more figures climbed the mountain, one path after another materialized. The pathways from the foot of the mountain to the peak gradually increased in number.
“Everyone be careful,” Ye Wushuang warned. “Whether or not we can reach the summit will likely determine whether we can obtain the opportunity.”
There were bound to be dangers along the way. In the end, everyone present began to climb the mountain. The distance from the foot to the peak was three hundred feet, with a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine steps. Xu Ziqian was the first to step onto the staircase, and his speed was the fastest, walking as if he were strolling leisurely through a courtyard.
However, as everyone gradually climbed the steps, they began to feel something was amiss. The sensation was not obvious at first, but after taking more than ten steps, many people’s expressions changed dramatically.
