Qin Wentian's ink-black hair fluttered in the wind. He turned his gaze onto Qian Mengyu as he asked, "What you used earlier, was it the Nine Swords of Life?"
Qian Mengyu had a strange expression on her face as she stared at Qin Wentian. "How did you know?"
Qin Wentian said that he came from a small country, so how did he know about the Nine Swords of Life from her Greencloud Pavilion?
"I've seen people using the Nine Swords of Life before." Qin Wentian replied. This set of sword art was one of the four Divine Inscription diagrams that belonged to Gong Yanghong. Qin Wentian and Gong Yanghong had speculated that this sword art was cultivated by the woman Gong Yanghong loved. However, Qin Wentian didn't know the exact details.
"Many thanks for your help earlier." Qin Wentian thanked Qian Mengyu.
"You better think about what to do first." Qian Mengyu stepped away. Although Qin Wentian was able to recognize the Nine Swords of Life, she wouldn't go so far as to help Qin Wentian. It was rare for her to enter the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds, and she naturally didn't want to die in there.
Qin Wentian cast a glance at the situation around him. Indeed, it was going to be extremely difficult.
"Bzzz." Abruptly, Qin Wentian's silhouette flickered as the illusory wings of a Garuda flickered in and out of existence. His entire person soared into the air as he retreated in the direction of one of the gaps.
Only to see two figures dashing out, blocking his path of retreat. Qin Wentian's speed didn't slow down in the slightest. Executing the Mountain Splitter, he lunged towards one of them.
"Puchi!" A light sound rang out as the silhouette of that person turned illusory. The ancient halberd directly pierced through his skull, while at the same time, Qin Wentian blasted out a palm imprint to his left.
"Boom." A powerful force was transmitted into his palm. Qin Wentian borrowed the force of the impact to soar into the air, leaping out like a Garuda. When he landed, he was already outside of the encirclement's perimeter.
"What an exquisite 9 Heavenly Garuda Movement Technique, it's definitely at the perfect level of the Arterial Circulation Manual."
The countenances of the experts from the Azure Emperor Palace changed when they saw this scene. After which, they too stepped out, akin to Garuda Rocs.
As for the devilishly handsome young man and the rest, they were all from the Skydemon Sect. At this moment, a pair of demonic beast wings appeared on their bodies. Every step they took caused the sound of the wind to howl. Their speed was actually extremely fast.
"What guts. The people from the Skydemon Sect are not to be trifled with."
Upon seeing this, Qian Mengyu also stepped out and chased after Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian was very clear that the people here weren't Arterial Circulation Realm cultivators from Chu. Against ordinary cultivators at the peak of Arterial Circulation in Chu, he could easily kill them. But for the people in the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds, any one of them could be considered as the cream of the crop in Chu. This was especially so for that demonic young man. After fighting against him once, Qin Wentian could already sense that the strength of his opponent was no small matter.
He wasn't so blindly confident that he would be able to deal with the encirclement of his opponents with his cultivation base at the 8th level of Arterial Circulation. Hence, he could only execute the Garuda Movement Technique to flee.
After reaching the grand completion of the Arterial Circulation Manual of the 9 Heavenly Garuda Movement Technique, his speed wouldn't lose out to anyone else.
The number of people who could chase after Qin Wentian grew fewer and fewer. The demonic young man from the Skydemon Sect, Yue Qingfeng from the Azure Emperor Palace, and Qian Mengyu from the Greencloud Pavilion were three of them.
Along the way, they met another group of experts. When they saw this scene, it was as though they had sensed something as well, as they chased after Qin Wentian.
In front of them, there was a river. Qin Wentian's silhouette flickered as he soared into the air, akin to a great roc soaring through the air, directly landing on the opposite side of the river.
The others all chased after him, each displaying their own innate techniques as they crossed the river.
Very quickly, Qin Wentian dashed into a patch of forest, causing the countenances of the pursuers to turn unsightly. They had so many experts, yet they had no way to catch up to Qin Wentian.
With so much time, Qin Wentian should be able to hunt and kill quite a few warbeasts.
What they didn't know was that at this moment, Qin Wentian's heart was filled with rage. He had merely devoured a single beast spirit. There were many beast spirits in this training ground, and there were even some that were ranked higher than the ones he had devoured, yet these pursuers were so overbearing.
At the end of the forest, there was a stone mountain with a waterfall cascading down from it. On the left and right side of the mountain, there were lakes. This was a place where there was no path of retreat.
Qin Wentian halted his steps as he heard the whistling sound of wind behind him. The demonic young man from the Skydemon Sect was the first to catch up to him, stopping not too far away from him.
The shadow of a great roc appeared on Yao Sheng's back. His gaze was demonic and cold as he took a step forward, as a gentle palm strike blasted out once again.
"Bzzz." Qin Wentian's ancient halberd pierced out with lightning speed.
Yao Sheng's palms trembled as demonic Qi erupted forth. His palms transformed into a gigantic bear's paw as they slammed out, colliding with the ancient halberd. His movements were incomparably gentle, and at the instant he struck out, he dashed towards Qin Wentian, brushing past the ancient halberd as he dashed towards Qin Wentian. A demonic glow radiated forth, enveloping Qin Wentian's body.
Qin Wentian didn't retreat. The aura of his Sovereign's Descent Bloodline erupted forth as he slammed out with his palms, akin to a true mountain peak crashing down.
"Peng!" A terrifying hurricane swept through the air as the two of them retreated at the same time. Qin Wentian's arterial pathways trembled as his heart pounded madly. The innate techniques of his opponent were both powerful and bizarre.
Yao Sheng also took a step back as a strange look flashed in his eyes. After which, the coldness in his eyes grew even stronger.
A towering demonic Qi erupted forth as scales appeared on his arms. His eyes flickered with a demonic light as the wings on his back glowed even brighter. At this moment, he was akin to a terrifying demonic being.
A raging wind gusted by as Yao Sheng lunged towards Qin Wentian once again.
"Fallen Star Stance." The ancient halberd in Qin Wentian's hands erupted forth with a terrifying might, as a terrifying vortex appeared in front of him.
Yao Sheng's palms slammed out as a terrifying boom reverberated through the air. His silhouette flickered as he evaded the strongest attack of the Fallen Star Stance. His entire person transformed into a series of afterimages.
"DIE!" Yao Sheng's arms elongated as his palms transformed into sharp claws, piercing straight towards Qin Wentian's head.
The ancient halberd in Qin Wentian's hands trembled as he spat out a beam of sword light. With a howl of rage, his left palm blasted out with the Falling Mountain Palms. Their attacks collided in a frenzy as Qin Wentian's body was violently forced backwards.
Even after activating the power of his bloodline, he was still forced to retreat. Staring at the silhouette in front of him, Qin Wentian could feel that Yao Sheng's bloodline was also boiling. That was the bloodline of a beast.
Those behind him all followed behind, and upon seeing that Yao Sheng had yet to kill Qin Wentian, they all had strange expressions on their faces. This young man who had stepped into the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds out of the blue, had a strength that was truly shocking.
"BOOM!" At this moment, the earth trembled as the hearts of the crowd shuddered. They stared in front of them, feeling as though the mountain was moving.
Rumbling sounds rang out as the gigantic boulders on the mountain fell down like a waterfall. The rumbling sounds grew increasingly terrifying as a terrifying demonic Qi permeated the air.
"ROAR!" A thunderous roar rang out as the earth split apart. The lake water on both sides of the waterfall churned violently as a terrifying demonic beast soared up into the skies, creating a gigantic wave.
This demonic beast had the body of a python coiled around the waterfall. It was unknown how long it was, but its body was covered in scales, with sharp spikes protruding out of it. Its arms were thick and muscular, and it had five claws on its palms that were curved like hooks, cold and sharp.
At this moment, the long whiskers of this demonic beast stood on end as it roared in rage. Its sharp fangs caused fear to rise in the hearts of the onlookers, and it was many times more terrifying than a python.
"The Blue-scaled Flood Dragon, ranked # 9 in the Warbeast Index."
The hearts of the crowd trembled as they stared at this terrifying demonic beast. The reason they came to the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds was because they wanted to obtain the spirit of the top ten ranked beasts.
However, the combat prowess of the top ten demonic beasts were all terrifying. They were invincible existences at the Arterial Circulation Realm.
"There are so many powerful demonic beasts. If I devour its spirit, in addition to my powerful perception, would I be able to sense the location of the Blue-scaled Flood Dragon Astral Soul in the 5th Heavenly Layer?" Qin Wentian's heart trembled. If his conjecture was correct, then he had already decided which Astral Soul he should choose for his 3rd Astral Soul.
There were many demonic beasts in the Warbeast Index, and the beast spirits of these demonic beasts could allow one to sense the existence of a Demonic Beast Astral Soul.
However, no matter what kind of Astral Soul it was, how could it be compared to a summoning-type Astral Soul?
However, Qin Wentian understood that summoning-type Stellar Martial Cultivators were exceedingly rare. This was because the difficulty of becoming one was exceedingly high. If one didn't have enough talent, the summoning-type Astral Soul would be useless.
To many people, summoning-type Astral Souls were trash Astral Souls.
However, there were some genius summoners in the continent who possessed the ability to summon Astral Souls.
At this moment, Qin Wentian had the thought of becoming a summoning-type Stellar Martial Cultivator. Not only that, this thought was extremely strong.
In the future, when he summoned his Astral Souls, all sorts of Demonic Beasts would descend from the Heavens, roaring and howling as they protected him. How beautiful would that be?
Naturally, this thought remained in his heart. At this moment, what he needed to do was to face the situation in front of him.
The flood dragon ranked # 9 in the Warbeast Index wasn't something that the Silvery Roc ranked # 90 could compare to.
The flood dragon raised its head arrogantly, staring down at the human in front of it. Its pair of demonic sharp eyes flickered with an intense killing intent.
"Bzzz!" Abruptly, the body of the Blue-scaled Flood Dragon moved. Its gigantic body instantly appeared in front of Qin Wentian as it slammed out with its thick arms. Its terrifyingly sharp claws were capable of ripping apart mountains, yet at this moment, it was aiming for Qin Wentian's body of flesh and blood.
Qin Wentian's bloodline power surged frenziedly as he executed the Fallen Star stance. The ancient halberd howled in rage as it slashed towards the sharp claws of the flood dragon.
"Peng!"
Qin Wentian's body was directly flung through the air as his blood and Qi churned wildly. He couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood as the ancient halberd in his hands trembled uncontrollably.
"How powerful." Qin Wentian's heart trembled. Clearly, the flood dragon was also a 6th level demonic beast, but how could it be so powerful?
Was this the tyrannical strength of the top 10 ranked warbeasts in the Warbeast Index? It seemed like the difficulty of ascending to the 8th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion wasn't so high.
The Azure Emperor had stated that if one wanted to ascend to the 8th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion, they had to plunder the spirit of the top 10 ranked demonic beasts. This test was indeed many times more difficult compared to obtaining the champion of the Jun Lin Banquet.
He was able to obtain the champion of the Jun Lin Banquet, but even if he was stronger, it would still be extremely difficult for him to slay the top 10 ranked warbeasts.
From this, one could see the difficulty of the two tests. In that case, what did the Azure Emperor leave behind in the 8th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion?!
