After the ox demon exited the cavern, Qin Wentian entered as well. Not even an hour later, Qin Wentian walked out as he stared at the ox demon with a smile that was not a smile on his face.
When he was comprehending the Great Void Thousand Imprints, he had already sensed that his Mandate of Force was on the verge of a breakthrough. As long as he pushed on, he would definitely be able to reach the Perfection Boundary of his Mandate of Force. However, he didn't do so. He forcibly suppressed the thought of a breakthrough and intentionally tricked the ox demon, hoping to gain some benefits.
Hence, the third trial of the Cavern of Life and Death was easily completed. Qin Wentian's Mandate of Force also stepped into the Perfection Boundary.
"Senior ox, what about my benefits?" Qin Wentian smiled as he stared at the ox demon.
"Don't be in such a hurry, didn't I say there would be more trials? If you want to gain benefits, you have to pass this trial first." The ox demon grinned, causing Qin Wentian to feel a sense of unease. This ox demon was extremely cunning, every time he smiled like this, it meant that he was up to no good. Most probably, this ox demon was plotting against him again.
Qin Wentian was extremely depressed. The master of the Immortal Martial Realm seemed to have given the guardians of the Cavern of Life and Death a huge amount of authority, allowing them to do whatever they wanted. That Black Jiao Python was like that, but this ox demon had even more authority, managing the trials of the Cavern of Life and Death.
Not only that, he didn't know what methods the ox demon would use to deal with him.
"Don't worry, the test this time around is absolutely fair. I will allow you to gather together with those on the floating bridges and those who entered the Cavern of Life and Death, and engage in an extremely fair battle. If you can become the only one, it means that you have passed my test." The ox demon shrugged his head and grinned, causing Qin Wentian to want nothing more than to punch him in the head.
Become the only one? No matter what kind of trial it was, how could it be so easy to become the only one?
Although the eighty-one participants who obtained the medallion stepped onto eighty-one different bridges, there were still geniuses from the various sects on each bridge. There were so many demon-level geniuses in the Royal Sacred Region, and although the eighty-one participants were the cream of the crop, it didn't mean that the others were mediocre.
His senior brother, Duan Han, was the personal disciple of Sword Sovereign Ling Tian. Other than him, there were a total of three participants from the Battle Sword Sect who obtained the medallion.
As long as he wanted to become the only one, the difficulty was bound to be extraordinary.
What could Qin Wentian say? Before he could say anything, the bull demon waved its hand and sent him flying.
When Qin Wentian reappeared, he appeared on the Pontoon Bridge. However, this time, the Pontoon Bridge extended in all directions. The scenery in front of Qin Wentian was like a floating city. It was very big.
The others were scattered all over the place in search of their own opportunities. Qin Wentian did not know what happened to the others when he was in the Life and Death Cave, but he knew that it must not be simple.
"I hope everyone is well." Qin Wentian thought to himself. His body flickered as he looked ahead. In the distance, there seemed to be a misty illusion. After a while, there seemed to be a mystical place emerging.
"The test that the ox demon mentioned, could it be there?" Qin Wentian's silhouette flickered as he sped forward. Not long after, Qin Wentian arrived at the boundary of the Pontoon Bridge as he stared downwards.
Everywhere he looked, the mist gradually dissipated as everything became incomparably clear. In front of him, there seemed to be an ancient battlefield with many stone platforms.
The stone platforms were like ancient battle platforms, and on top of each platform, there was an ancient war drum. These war drums quietly sat there, and each of them exuded a mystical aura, as though they were connected to the Heavens and Earth.
"These drums are so mysterious, they aren't ordinary war drums at all." Qin Wentian's gaze froze. With a single glance, he could see that there were hundreds of stone platforms, and on top of each platform, there was a war drum. It was as though they were prepared for those who stepped on the Pontoon Bridge.
"RUMBLE!"
An intense rumbling sound rang out. At the very front of this ancient battlefield, in the air above, an incomparably gigantic stone monument descended from the skies. The stone monument exuded a terrifying battle intent.
A thunderous boom rang out as the stone monument landed on the ground, directly embedding itself into the ground. This stone monument shone with a terrifying light that cascaded down onto each and every war drum. Momentarily, the war drums began to emit rumbling sounds, as though they were filled with an intense will to battle, summoning the warriors who were beating them.
At this moment, no matter where they were on the Pontoon Bridge, everyone could clearly see the situation over there. They could also feel the energy radiating from the stone monument. That energy was ancient and powerful, as though it could shatter the Heavens and Earth. It was as though there was a fearsome battle spirit within, containing an incomparably strong will to battle.
A series of voices frantically flashed in that direction, as if they were being summoned by the war drums. After a while, many people appeared at the edge of the strange space in front of them. They looked at the ancient battle stone tablet and saw the words written on it. They quickly understood the purpose of these war drums.
"Wentian." A voice drifted over. Qin Wentian turned, only to see Ye Lingshuang, Qin Zheng, Yun Mengyi, Chu Mang and Mu Feng.
Staring at the expressions on their faces, Qin Wentian laughed, "The ox demon didn't trample me to death. I was only brought to a trial named the Cavern of Life and Death."
"It's good that you're fine. In that case, Fan Le and Ouyang are fine as well." Chu Mang heaved a sigh of relief, Ye Lingshuang's eyes reddened, Qin Zheng had a smile on his face, Mu Feng was still expressionless, and Yun Mengyi turned her head away, hiding her eyes from view.
"Ouyang was also trampled to death by the ox demon?" Only now did Qin Wentian understand who the ox demon was referring to.
"Mhm, when he saw the ox demon trampling you to 'death', Ouyang immediately cursed it in anger. After which, the ox demon stomped down, and Ouyang ended up in the same state as you. Not only that, the ox demon seemed to be enraged as it trampled madly, killing countless people. But from the looks of it now, it didn't really want to kill you guys. I was wondering why this trial was so monstrous." Qin Zheng explained.
"It's not so easy to survive the trial of the Cavern of Life and Death." An expression of worry appeared on Qin Wentian's face. Although the old ox promised him that he would take care of them, he still couldn't help but feel worried when he didn't see Fan Le and Ouyang.
As for the others, once they were dragged into the Cavern of Life and Death, they would either live or die.
"We've also encountered the trial of the Cavern of Life and Death, but we didn't know how dangerous it was. Hence, we didn't dare to attempt it. What's inside exactly?" Ye Lingshuang asked.
Qin Wentian explained, causing the others to feel worried for Fan Le and Ouyang.
"You actually haven't died yet." A cold voice drifted over. Qin Wentian and the rest turned their gazes to the left only to see a row of silhouettes standing in the air. It was none other than Que Cheng from the Violet Thunder Sect.
"This person is from the Violet Thunder Sect. It was precisely him who awakened the ox demon and almost caused Fan Le to die." Chu Mang glared at Que Cheng in rage.
"What happened back then? Who were the people who wanted to act against you guys?" Qin Wentian icily asked.
"Those from the Violet Thunder Sect, the Heaven Crippling Sect, and the Great Earth Sect." Qin Zheng calmly replied.
"Great Earth Sect?" Qin Wentian's voice was filled with killing intent.
"Yes, Ouyang recognized a disciple from the Great Earth Sect. He said that he had participated in the Heavenly Fate Rankings of Grand Xia before you and Ouyang, and his name is Chen Qin." Qin Zheng reminded Qin Wentian. Instantly, Qin Wentian thought of the Great Solar Chen Clan.
"Over there." Yun Mengyi faintly spoke. Her eyes were cold as she stared in a certain direction. Qin Wentian followed Yun Mengyi's gaze and saw a young man around thirty years of age. His eyes blazed with fire, resembling a blazing sun, yet when he stared at Qin Wentian, his gaze was filled with an icy coldness.
"Great Solar Universe Art." Qin Wentian instantly understood that this person was none other than the Great Solar Chen Clan. Back then in Xuan King City, Qin Wentian seemed to have met this person before. Back then, when he was in Xuan King City, he seemed to have said something to the elders of the Great Earth Sect. Right now, Qin Wentian suddenly recalled that back then, the Great Earth Sect truly had a motive for wanting to recruit him. Luckily, he had chosen the Battle Sword Sect.
Yet another wave of cold intent gushed over. Qin Wentian turned his gaze in another direction and saw Shi Kuang from the Heaven Crippling Sect.
Qin Wentian similarly stared at him, his eyes gleaming with a cold light.
This time around, Shi Kuang continued to stare at Qin Wentian. He didn't show any signs of retreating like he did the first time they met.
"I heard that you want to kill us?" Qin Wentian stared at Shi Kuang as he asked.
"The look in your eyes really makes me feel disgusted. Although you are still alive, your life will eventually be taken away." Shi Kuang pointed to the battlefield ahead as he stared at Qin Wentian. "Over here, with the aid of the battle drums, you can recover your cultivation base. In fact, you can even unleash strength that far surpasses your current strength. I can already feel the summoning of the battle spirits. This burial ground is extremely suitable for all of you."
After Shi Kuang spoke, he slowly turned and walked forward, bringing along a few others from the Heaven Crippling Sect as they stepped into the battlefield.
"You are right. I, Shi Kuang, want to kill all of you. If you still have the slightest bit of courage, come on in and accept my challenge." Shi Kuang stepped onto a stone platform, standing in front of the battle drums as his killing intent gushed forth.
Qin Wentian then turned his gaze onto Chen Zhao and the others from the Great Earth Sect. His gaze landed on the person beside Chen Zhao. This person seemed to be the leader of the Great Earth Sect.
"What do you all mean by this?" Qin Wentian asked.
The young man in the lead stared at Qin Wentian, and upon hearing Qin Wentian's words, he laughed in an extremely amusing manner. When he stared at Qin Wentian, his eyes contained a hint of ridicule, as well as a hint of arrogance.
His name was Shen Ting, and he was a Heaven's Chosen from the Great Earth Sect. He was extremely strong, and although he couldn't be compared to the most outstanding Heaven Dipper Sovereign of the Great Earth Sect, he should be ranked fourth or even third among the Heaven Dipper Sovereigns.
His relationship with Chen Zhao wasn't bad, and Chen Zhao seemed to have some sort of grudge with this person in front of him. Although this person had killed Ye Kongfan before, which was an extremely glorious battle achievement, in Shen Ting's eyes, a fifth-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereign actually dared to speak to him in such a manner? This person simply didn't know the immensity of the heavens and earth.
"Nothing much, Chen Zhao wants your lives. Naturally, I will help him. It's just that simple. If you want to fight, I will teach you how to be a proper person." Shen Ting walked towards the battlefield, the arrogance in his eyes couldn't be concealed at all.
As for Que Cheng, he didn't say anything. The Violet Thunder Sect had a grudge with Qin Wentian, and Qin Wentian was very clear on this point. The reason why he acted was extremely simple. Did Qin Wentian want to deal with him? Shen Ting's words seemed to be what he wanted to say as well. Hence, Que Cheng and the others also walked towards the battlefield!
