Thousands of Golden Horned Black Crows could only allow Duan Ling Tian to escape a certain distance even if the Formation they formed was broken after they charged into the forest.
This was because the speed of the 1,000 Golden Horned Black Crows was slower than Duan Lingtian when they were not in the Formation.
Once they were in the Formation, the speed of the 1,000 Golden Horned Black Crows was comparable to a Celestial Duke. It would not be difficult for them to catch up to Duan Lingtian.
Even if the 1,000 Golden Horned Black Crows broke the Formation after they entered the forest, it would not take long for them to reform the Formation and catch up to Duan Lingtian and kill him.
"They weren't that fast earlier. However, their speed only increased after they got close to me. It's obvious they only completed the Formation after they got close to me."
After entering the forest, Duan Lingtian's Celestial Origin Energy surged and merged with the Earth Elemental Profundity and turned into a khaki color. At the same time, golden and purple lights shone from his body.
A whirlpool appeared on his body and began to devour the Heaven and Earth Elemental Energy before it disappeared.
It was obvious Duan Lingtian had used all the techniques he had at his disposal.
Elementary Devouring Tactic!
Purple Qi from the East!
Acala King Ming!
Apart from that, Duan Ling Tian's Celestial Origin Energy surged out of his body at an extremely fast speed. The 99 Heavenly Veins in his body did not stop circulating at all.
Whoosh!
At this moment, Duan Ling Tian's figure shot out. It was as if he'd transformed into a bolt of lightning that was a mixture of khaki, gold, and violet as he shuttled swiftly through the forest.
After a while, Duan Lingtian discovered that there was no movement behind him. He could not help but stop moving. "What … What's going on?"
Duan Lingtian mustered up his courage and turned around. However, he did not see any Golden Horned Black Crows.
In fact, there were no traces of the Golden Horned Black Crows chasing him from the place where he had reentered the forest.
"What's going on?"
Out of curiosity, Duan Lingtian once again stepped into the air. When he was close to the sky above the forest, he extended his Divine Consciousness and clearly sensed the dense auras above the forest.
"Could it be … that these Golden Horned Black Crows can't enter the forest?"
Duan Lingtian stood in the air above the forest. His gaze pierced through the forest and found that the thousands of Golden Horned Black Crows were still there, staring at the spot where he was at.
Furthermore, these thousands of Golden Horned Black Crows were still in formation.
"Give it a try …"
Taking a deep breath, Duan Lingtian intended to verify the idea in his heart. His figure flashed and appeared outside the forest.
Of course, it appeared not far from the forest.
At this moment, ear-piercing screams swept over from all directions, piercing Duan Lingtian's eardrums to the point that it felt as if they would burst at any moment.
Duan Lingtian squinted his eyes and saw that the originally motionless Golden Horned Black Crows suddenly had their golden horns glowing brightly. Then, they flapped their wings and swooped down towards him.
Whoosh!
Crash!!
…
Duan Lingtian's scalp went numb when he saw the thousands of Golden Horned Black Crows swooping down. He quickly returned to the forest.
When Duan Lingtian returned to the forest, the thousands of Golden Horned Black Crows came to a halt and returned to their original spots. They stared at Duan Lingtian fiercely.
'As expected.'
At this moment, Duan Lingtian finally confirmed his speculation.
For some reason, these Golden Horned Black Crows were not allowed to enter the forest.
However, he was not surprised by this.
'If these thousands of Golden Horned Black Crows are allowed to roam freely in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, I'm afraid none of the Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm would be able to survive their attacks.'
This was why Duan Lingtian was not surprised.
'However, due to these Golden Horned Black Crows, none of the Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials, including me, are allowed to enter the forest.
Once we enter the forest, we'll be attacked by the Golden Horned Black Crows. Only in the forest can we avoid their attacks. '
It was not difficult for Duan Lingtian to figure out that this was a rule in the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm to prevent them from entering the forest.
Without entering the forest, it would be difficult for them to know their surroundings. They would have to explore the forest step by step.
'Forget it … I guess I can only choose a direction and walk to the end of the forest.'
With this thought in mind, Duan Lingtian decided on a direction and made his way there.
Along the way, due to Duan Lingtian's speed, many Celestial Beasts in the forest were alerted. However, none of them could catch up to him.
'My current speed is comparable to a Celestial Duke … The strongest Celestial Beast I've encountered along the way is only a peak Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial.
Those Celestial Beasts are only a threat to ordinary Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials, but they're no threat to me. '
If Duan Lingtian had not comprehended the law of earth's Fundamental Profundity, the Earth Elemental Profundity, his journey would not have been so smooth.
Moreover, it was precisely because he'd comprehended the Earth Elemental Dao that he was able to move freely through the forest as if he was entering unobstructed territory!
Time continued to pass by.
In just a blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
In the sky above the center of Scaling Cloud Lake.
After the 12,000 Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials, including Duan Lingtian, entered the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, the door to the void closed.
After the void gate closed, a screen of light appeared in the space where the void gate had been opened.
This light screen was white and very flat. It looked like a very large piece of white paper that was floating in the void.
In the beginning, many people's attention was focused on the screen that was like a piece of white paper.
However, after ten days, the number of people who were paying attention to the light screen had decreased significantly.
Until …
"Someone's name has appeared!"
Someone's voice rang in the air, drawing the attention of those who had shifted their attention away from the light screen.
A name appeared on the screen of light. It was as if a name had been written on a piece of white paper.
Wu Xiaoyu.
Two points.
"Wu Xiaoyu!"
"Who's Wu Xiaoyu?"
"He's the first to enter the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. This means he's the first to kill someone who has also entered the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm."
"I wonder who died at his hands."
"As long as the person who recommended him has his Soul Pearl, the person who recommended him should know he's killed, right?"
"You're wrong. Rumor has it that the Southern Heaven Celestial Lord who created the upper, middle, and lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm was a Southern Heaven Celestial Lord who had comprehended the law of time. When he created the upper, middle, and lower realms of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm, he set up a Formation that contains the law of time."
"Due to the restriction of the Formation that contains the law of time, the Soul Pearls of those who die in the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm will only shatter after a certain period of time. Moreover, the period of time is not fixed. "
"If a second person is killed during this period of time, even if someone else's Soul Pearl shatters at the same time, they won't be able to say it was the person who killed the second person."
"Does this mean even if someone with no background kills an Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestial from a grade-seven force, the powerhouses from the grade-seven forces won't be able to seek revenge?"
"That's right. The Southern Heaven Celestial Lord must have thought of this as well. That's why he set up a Formation in the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm. "
…
When the first person with two points appeared on the scoreboard, a commotion broke out in the sky above the center of the Scaling Cloud Lake.
"Haha … Xiaoyu, well done!"
An old man laughed heartily as he looked at the name on the scoreboard.
"Old Brother Wu, congratulations on your grandson's achievement!"
A middle-aged man and another old man who were standing near the old man congratulated him with a smile on their faces. A hint of jealousy could be seen in their eyes.
The old man was from a grade-eight clan.
Now, the name that appeared on the scoreboard was his grandson's name.
The two people who congratulated him were from two other grade-eight clans who had brought their Overarching Heavenly Supreme Celestials to the lower realm.
"Perhaps, it's just the same name," the old man said humbly.
Inwardly, he did not think it was a coincidence. After all, there were only slightly more than 10,000 people who had entered the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm this time.
Moreover, his grandson's name was not common at all.
"Another name has appeared!"
About two hours after the first name appeared on the scoreboard, another name appeared on the scoreboard.
Ling Jueyun.
Two points.
'Ling Jueyun? Could he be the sectless genius from the East Ming Nation? '
Hu Lin Yi, the Emperor of the Supporting Fall Nation, narrowed his eyes when he saw the second name on the scoreboard. He scanned the crowd before his eyes finally landed on a middle-aged man with a medium build.
The middle-aged man had a dignified appearance, and he exuded a majestic aura. It was clear he had been in a high position for a long time.
Hu Lin Yi could clearly see the middle-aged man's smile when he saw Ling Jueyun's name on the scoreboard.
'It seems like it's him.'
The middle-aged man was none other than the Emperor of the East Ming Nation. He was also the leader of the East Ming Nation's team.
Since the lower realm of the Southern Heaven Ancient Realm had opened, most of the people from grade-eight clans were the leaders of their clans.
Those from grade-eight clans were all emperors.
"Heavens! He has one more point! "
Before Hu Lin Yi could regain his senses, another exclamation rang in his ears. He instinctively turned to look at the scoreboard and saw Ling Jueyun, who was originally in second place, had risen to first place.
Behind his name, three points were written.
"Ling Jueyun has killed two people in such a short time?"
