The towering tree was right before their eyes. Looking at such a spectacular and shocking scene, even without thinking, the four of them couldn't help but think of the Myriad Star Tree.
The following scene also confirmed the identity of the Myriad Star Tree. As far as the eye could see, there were already countless figures of geniuses standing around the Myriad Star Tree that was like an enormous pillar that held up the sky.
Just like Yan Chutian and the other three, their eyes were also filled with light as they looked at the towering tree before them with excitement and joy. It was the Myriad Star Tree!
However, no matter how excited they were, it seemed that no one acted rashly at this moment, nor did anyone have the intention to leap up and seize the shining star skull at the top of the tree that was over 300 meters tall.
It seemed that everyone was waiting for something …
It wasn't hard to imagine that it wouldn't be easy to seize the star skull, and there should even be some secrets hidden within it. However, it was obvious that even the Heavenly Secrets Sect, which could be considered a second-rate force, didn't have the fate to know such a secret.
However, at this moment, Yan Ningzhu seemed to have thought of something and immediately said, "I heard from a senior sister of the Hundred Flower Palace that if one wants to obtain the star skull under the Myriad Star Tree, not only does one have to experience the competition between geniuses, more importantly, one has to obey the rules of the Myriad Star Tree!"
"Obey the rules of the Myriad Star Tree?"
Yan Chutian looked at the towering tree before him, and a strand of curiosity couldn't help but appear between his brows. Look, this Myriad Star Tree is really not simple.
While Yan Chutian's group of four were waiting quietly, there were still geniuses rushing over from all directions in an endless stream, and they finally gathered under the Myriad Star Tree.
These geniuses that arrived late were mostly ranked at the bottom of the second-rate forces or had slightly weaker statuses. As for those that were ranked even lower, such as the geniuses of third-rate forces, there were simply not many so-called geniuses that were able to arrive here.
In such a group, there was a robust man that was completely tanned, and his face and body were covered in scars of various sizes.
When this tanned robust man saw the towering tree before him, he couldn't help but reveal a dense expression of pleasant surprise. It was even to the extent that tears involuntarily flowed out from his eyes due to his excitement.
"I … I, Hong Gu, have finally arrived at the Ten Thousand Star Tree after going through the dangers of the periphery of the Ten Thousand Star Valley!"
This tanned and muscular man was Hong Gu. He had changed from a white faced ghost to his current appearance. It was not difficult to imagine what he had encountered in this past month.
As for Xue Hongyu and Shilong who followed him, if they didn't unfortunately die, they definitely couldn't persevere and retreated early. They only had to wait for the five regions' forces' spirit boats to descend again two months later and leave in failure.
Back to the topic, looking at the scene in front of him, the excited Hong Gu could no longer suppress his joy. He couldn't help but want to cry out in surprise.
His path had been fraught with danger. If it were not for his extraordinary strength and luck, it would have been very difficult for him to reach this step. He would have long since given up like Xue Hongyu and Shilong.
Since he was already in such a situation, he believed that the situation of Yan Chutian and the others would definitely be even worse. Not to mention whether they could reach the Myriad Star Tree, whether they would still be alive was another matter altogether.
He would definitely be the only genius of the Heavenly Fate Sect who stood out in this test!
After waiting for about half a day, the originally silent scene finally changed. At the crown of the Myriad Star Tree, there were actually stone platforms that slowly descended. As far as the eye could see, the number of stone platforms was innumerable, as if there were countless of them.
And these stone platforms of different sizes just happened to form a path that led to the crown of the tree. However, those with discerning eyes could clearly see that the closer to the crown of the tree, the fewer the stone platforms, and the area was constantly decreasing.
Even without saying anything, this appearance allowed one to see the intention with a single glance.
"So this is the rule of the Myriad Star Tree …"
Yan Chutian secretly muttered to himself. How could he not understand that this Myriad Star Tree was obviously set up with a series of complicated great formations? If one wanted to obtain the star skull, one could only follow its intentions.
And if one followed its intentions, it was destined that only a few people would be able to obtain the star skull in the end. The rest of the people would be eliminated.
Perhaps this seemed a little merciless. Many geniuses had gone through hardships to come here, but they had to go through such a cruel competition under the Myriad Star Tree. At least half of them would be eliminated.
However, from a certain perspective, this was the rule of this world. The weak were prey to the strong, and it had been so for countless years.
After knowing the rules in front of him, Yan Chutian quickly said, "When we ascend the stone platforms later, the four of us will try to stay together as much as possible. This way, no matter what kind of situation we encounter, we can take care of each other."
However, as soon as Yan Chutian's voice fell, he had a bad feeling in his heart before he heard the three women's reply. Somehow, he had a feeling that the situation would not be as good as he had imagined.
And as if to confirm Yan Chutian's premonition, when the four of them rushed onto the first stone platform, waves of spatial distortion suddenly appeared on every huge stone platform closest to the ground.
When Yan Chutian opened his eyes, as expected, the three women beside him had disappeared. Instead, several unfamiliar figures of geniuses appeared.
These geniuses' faces were also filled with confusion. Then, they became alert. Obviously, they had encountered the same situation as Yan Chutian.
"As expected, I can only rely on myself …!"
Yan Chutian whispered to himself again. As expected, the rules set by the Myriad Star Tree were not simple. He was afraid that every time he ascended a higher stone platform, he would have to go through the same kind of spatial teleportation.
In this way, any possibility of cooperation was cut off. He could only rely on himself to stand out and ascend to the peak.
Therefore, Yan Chutian did not care about the other three women anymore. Because it was useless to care. The only thing he cared about now was his own situation.
However, although this could cut off many possibilities of outnumbering one person, a careless mistake could result in many disciples of the same force being sent to the same stone platform as him.
At that time, the situation would be troublesome …
However, the situation on the first stone platform was obviously not as bad as Yan Chutian expected. Therefore, the few of them smoothly ascended to the second stone platform.
However, since they ascended to the second stone platform, it seemed that they had adapted to the rules. Naturally, battles began to break out. Those powerful geniuses began to eliminate the practitioners who thought they were weak. For a time, spiritual energy surged everywhere, shaking the sky.
Those who were defeated would be directly sent out of the stone platform by the spatial whirlpool. As for the winners or the practitioners who were not affected, they would continue to ascend to the next level.
During this process, everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that if they defeated others, they would be able to obtain some prizes. It was really a pleasant surprise.
As a result, the speed of the battles seemed to be getting faster and faster. The number of people who were eliminated also rapidly increased.
Although Yan Chutian's stone platform did not break out into a battle on the second stone platform, it was difficult to avoid the third stone platform. A chaotic battle broke out in an instant.
In the end, two people were eliminated from this stone platform. Yan Chutian was not eliminated, nor was he eliminated. It was as if he had just gone through the motions.
However, Yan Chutian's good luck was clearly about to end when he reached the fourth stone platform. When he was first sent to a stone platform, a pair of cold eyes suddenly locked onto him. When Yan Chutian looked back, he saw that the owner of the cold eyes was none other than Wang Hong.
Speaking of Wang Hong, Yan Chutian did not know much about him. He only knew that he was the son of the Myriad Star City's Lord, Wang Feng. However, Yan Chutian knew that Wang Hong would definitely not let him go. Because he was the one who had ruined Wang Hong's plan to woo Yan Ningzhu that day.
Although Yan Chutian knew that Wang Hong would not be able to woo Yan Ningzhu no matter what, Wang Hong would definitely not think that way. He might even think that without Wang Hong, he would be able to get the beauty.
The situation was not out of Yan Chutian's expectations. With the cold eyes locked onto him, Wang Hong stepped forward. Although he did not directly say it, he secretly said, "Star skulls are not something that any second generation can obtain. Therefore, if some trash is sensible, it's better for you to get out of here as soon as possible. Don't waste time and make a fool of yourself!"
While speaking, Wang Hong's eyes were always focused on Yan Chutian. Seeing this, the surrounding people naturally would not interfere. They immediately gave up the space and gave most of the stone platforms to the two of them.
