At the same time, in the northwestern region of the trial grounds, the cultivators who were watching the images in the three vortexes in the plaza at the peak of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace exclaimed in surprise. Many of them even stood up and stared at one of the images in the vortexes where Annihilator's disciples were!
There were many images in the vortexes, but the one that everyone was staring at was the most shocking!
In the image was Annihilator's personal disciple, Dugu Lin. He had a cold expression on his face as he sped through the sky. He was so fast that he seemed to have reached the limit of a Core Formation realm cultivator. In an instant, he neared a cultivator who belonged to Feng Qiuran's faction. Without waiting for the other party to speak, Dugu Lin immediately attacked. With just a point of his finger, the cultivator from Feng Qiuran's faction immediately spat out blood and flew backward. He fell unconscious as if he had been severely injured.
The key in his pocket flew out on its own and chased after Dugu Lin, who was already far away. Clearly, although Dugu Lin needed the key, he didn't care much about it!
Under the eyes of the crowd, the scene that had just occurred continued to play out in the image where Dugu Lin was. The number of keys he had accumulated had already exceeded forty!
The number of keys he had was the highest in the entire trial grounds!
This scene caused the crowd in the square to gasp for breath as they cheered. The cultivators from Mie Liezi's faction, in particular, were extremely excited and cheered loudly.
"Eldest Senior Brother Dugu Lin is invincible in the Core Formation realm!"
"Haha, I bet five hundred battle credits on Eldest Senior Brother Dugu. He's definitely going to win this time!"
"I've said it before. This trial is actually a competition between personal disciples. However, the other personal disciples are probably going to be anxious soon."
In contrast to the cheers from Annihilator's faction, the cultivators from Feng Qiuran's faction had ugly expressions on their faces. They were all looking at the images of Xu Ming and Lu Yun, eager to see their rise.
While the emotions of the Vast Expanse Dao Palace disciples were stirred up, the Yuanying cultivators were much calmer. However, they were a little surprised. Clearly, Dugu Lin's battle prowess was shocking.
Even Feng Qiuran frowned slightly. The Leisurely Taoist narrowed his eyes thoughtfully and looked at Annihilator, who was smiling faintly.
The three of them didn't speak. After Feng Qiuran and the Leisurely Taoist's expressions changed, they continued to look at the trial ground. Their focus was on Dugu Lin.
At the same time, the outside world was shaking violently. All the trial takers in the trial ground were shaken by the changes in the night sky map. Feng Qiuran's personal disciple, Lu Yun, was the first to react. After a few breaths of silence, his eyes shone brightly. His cultivation suddenly erupted, and he gave up on his previous plan of playing it safe. Instead, he emitted a cold, murderous aura from his body. With a burst of speed, he began to sweep the area around him!
Just like Dugu Lin, he used his advantage to attack anyone he met and snatch the key!
The next to make a move was Xu Ming. He knew very well that the rules of the trial had been changed by Dugu Lin's attack.
"Is he trying to speed up the pace and eliminate most of the people in the first teleportation? Interesting!" Xu Ming smiled. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and he chose to make a move as well.
There was also Zhou Chudao and his Dao companion. The two of them were originally together, but after some discussion, they decided to split up and act alone. They moved in two different directions, and their auras were astonishing. They began to search for the keys!
The outburst of these five people directly caused a strong chain reaction in the entire battle, causing the trial to become more intense. A large number of cultivators lost their keys. Although no one had died yet, some of them were crippled, and some were seriously injured and lost their ability to fight.
However, there were still some people who managed to preserve their ability to fight even though they lost their keys. These people usually met the prodigies of their own factions, so they took the initiative to hand over their keys without any hesitation.
In this way, these people were truly hidden in the map, and danger and chaotic battles were often carried out between them!
From the map, following the outburst of these five prodigies, the entire trial ground was affected. Keys disappeared every now and then, they would appear again with a flash. Under this constant alternation, just as Zhao Yameng had predicted, the first day would be extremely tragic!
At this moment, Wang Baole and the other two were also moving quickly. However, unlike before, Zhao Yameng and Kongdao already knew Wang Baole's choice through comparison and comprehension. Hence, the two of them followed behind him like protectors, following Wang Baole as he moved forward.
Their target … was the place where the seven keys gathered, which was getting closer and closer to them!
From the map, these seven keys should not belong to one person, but to many people. However, there were also variables, but Wang Baole did not care. No matter how many people there were, he would just crush them!
Therefore, as he sped along, his aura grew stronger and stronger. In the end, he looked like a shooting star surrounded by lightning as he sped along toward the gathering of the seven keys!
As he got closer, Wang Baole's Spiritual Sense, which far surpassed that of other Core Formation cultivators, allowed him to see their faces in his mind before they could sense who he was!
"Li Bin?" Wang Baole's mouth twisted into a smile. His eyes were cold as he once again shot forward with explosive speed!
Indeed, there was not one person in front of the gathering of the seven keys, but thirteen!!
These thirteen people were all Cultivators from Annihilator's faction. Their leader was none other than Li Bin, who had been at odds with Wang Baole back in the Immortal's Cave in the Flame Sea and had been stopped by Chilin King.
Even now, Li Bin still felt that Wang Baole had been lucky that day. Otherwise, he would have killed him and taken the Immortal's Cave. That had always been a regret in his heart. Every time he thought about it, his desire to kill Wang Baole grew even stronger.
"That Federation weakling Wang Baole has also come to the trial by fire. I hope he won't be so lucky this time. I'll definitely run into him …." Li Bin's mouth twisted into a vicious smile as he looked around at his companions. His heart was filled with pride.
After all, as a late Core Formation cultivator, he could definitely be considered one of the top experts in the trial by fire. As long as he didn't run into those five freakish personal disciples, he was confident that he could get into the top ten.
In addition to himself, he had recruited quite a few followers. However, Li Bin was well aware that his chances of getting into the top three were very small. Therefore, he had long since made up his mind to use the keys he had acquired to exchange favors with the personal disciples.
Because of this thought, and because he was incomparably confident, although he had long noticed the six keys flying towards him on the night sky map, he did not care at all. He had already determined that the newcomers were not the five freaks. After all, the five freaks had dozens of key groups now, and they were incomparably clear on the map.
Therefore, the Cultivation base of this newcomer was at most in the late Core Formation stage, just like Li Bin. Unless they had about the same number of keys as he did, they were simply here to give him the keys.
"Still, I have to be careful. Maybe they're like me, and have gathered together people who have lost their keys." Having reached this point in his train of thought, Li Bin noticed that the newcomers on the map were getting closer. He waved his hand, causing the surrounding Cultivators to disperse. Li Bin waved his hand, causing the power of his late Core Formation Cultivation base to spread out. He was just about to say something when Wang Baole appeared off in the distance when Li Bin recognized him.
"Wang Baole?!" As soon as he recognized Wang Baole, Li Bin's heart leapt with joy. He threw his head back and laughed uproariously. Without the slightest hesitation, he took a step forward and spoke in a voice filled with killing intent.
"I can't believe I actually ran into a weakling from the Federation. Wang Baole, let's see if you're lucky enough to have a Yuanying enter the trial by fire to save you!" Laughing, Li Bin waved his hand and pointed at Wang Baole.
"Kill him!" As his words echoed out, the surrounding Cultivators began to laugh viciously. As far as they were concerned, a trifling Federation cultivator couldn't possibly compare to a Vast Expanse disciple. Even if they killed him, it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, the trial by fire didn't prohibit killing. Everyone was from the same sect, and everyone had friends and family. Unless absolutely necessary, they wouldn't kill him. But when it came to a Federation cultivator … it was a different story!
Therefore, amidst their ferocious laughter, the dozen or so people charged towards Wang Baole!
When Wang Baole saw that these people were taking the initiative to attack him, he grinned.
"I can't let these people go to waste …." His eyes flickered with a blood-colored glow, and the diamond-shaped Emperor's Armor on his heart exploded with power. It spread out from Wang Baole's body, but it wasn't the complete Emperor's Armor. It was just his Qi passageways, and from a distance, it looked like a crimson glow!
