After Liu Ming took the talisman and jade pendant, he put them in front of his eyes and looked at them carefully.
The inch-large jade pendant was incomparably translucent and shimmering with a faint light. One could faintly see traces of snow-white crystals circulating within the jade pendant, appearing quite mysterious.
With a thought, he poured a bit of magic power into the pendant. Strands of translucent threads that were difficult to see with the naked eye floated out from the surface of the jade pendant and floated in the air.
At the same time, the jade pendant slowly melted.
Liu Ming immediately stopped his magic power and the translucent threads silently flew back to him. In the blink of an eye, the jade pendant condensed back to its original state.
At that moment, everyone present examined the pendant and revealed astonished expressions.
The cultivator surnamed Sun explained, "When I personally refined this jade pendant, I also injected a special restriction into it. After it is activated, if it doesn't sense any nearby Demonic Qi, it will revert back to its original jade pendant form."
"Fellow Daoist Sun is truly proficient in the Dao of Restrictions. We are relieved. In addition, I am worried that the Demon Race will send people to guard the entrance to the ruins. Fellow Daoist should be careful when using your avatar to place down the formation. "Cultivator Li put away the two items and warned.
Cultivator Sun confidently said, "Fellow Daoists, please be at ease. Although I am injured and my strength is inferior to that of the two Jin Dan Demon Cultivators, concealing the formation from the other Demon Cultivators shouldn't be a problem. If Fellow Daoists have no other questions, you may return and rest up. Tomorrow morning, we will gather here and set off for the competition grounds. When the time comes, we must give it our all. We cannot allow them to notice anything amiss. "Cultivator Sun spoke with a confident tone.
After the young woman and the others asked a few more questions, they cupped their hands and bid their farewells.
Liu Ming also returned to his temporary cave residence.
In the following time, Liu Ming carefully examined the jade pendant that Cultivator Sun had given him. After determining that what Cultivator Sun had said was true, he carefully hid the item within his clothes and sat cross-legged in meditation.
The night passed without incident.
On the morning of the second day, when Liu Ming once again arrived at the temporary gathering place for everyone, a huge light blue flying carriage was already quietly parked on the snowy ground.
The cultivator surnamed Sun from the Haoran Academy was talking to the old man surnamed Huang. Judging from the number of people, the rest of the people had already arrived.
Seeing Liu Ming arrive, the youth surnamed Li nodded to Liu Ming. The blue-robed young woman, Wu Hong, also smiled at him.
Liu Ming calmly returned their greetings.
After a while, when everyone had boarded the flying car, Sun shot a blue light at the flying car.
The entire giant flying car turned into a long rainbow amidst the rumbling sounds and flew forward, gradually disappearing into the end of the vast white snow.
Cultivator Sun's flying chariot was clearly an extraordinary item. Its flying speed was even higher than Liu Ming's Daiyue Flying Boat.
After only flying for about a quarter of an hour, everyone appeared at the edge of this ice and snow polar region, on an empty flat ground at the foot of another giant snow mountain.
"In order to prevent both sides from taking advantage of the competition to compete for the ruins, I discussed with the leader of the Monster Clan Alliance and decided to compete here. This place is thousands of miles away from the ruins, but if something really happens, we can reach it in a moment. It will take at least a day to break the enchantment of the ruins, so there is no need to worry. I have just received the news that the Monster Clan Alliance has almost sent out all of their forces, leaving only three or four Crystallization Period Beastkin Cultivators to patrol and guard the ruins. It is the same as we expected. "The cultivator surnamed Sun whispered to everyone.
When everyone heard it, their faces showed a look of eagerness.
"Haha, Mr. Sun still has time to laugh now. Could it be that your injury has healed and you are full of confidence for this competition?"
A deep and resonant voice came from the distant horizon.
Everyone's face changed, and they immediately looked at the source of the voice.
In the sky a few miles away, 2 clusters of mist, one black and one brown, were rushing toward them at an extremely fast speed.
Immediately afterward, more than a dozen escape lights of different colors came one after another. In just a few seconds, they stopped in an open space thousands of meters away from everyone.
In the gray-brown mist at the front, a black muscular man wearing a fur coat could be vaguely seen. In the other vague black mist, there was a gloomy low laughter.
While the cultivator surnamed Sun and the others were sizing them up, the 2 beastkin cultivators quickly dissipated. The figures of the 2 beastkin cultivators finally appeared clearly in front of Liu Ming and the others.
The person on the left was 30 meters tall with dark skin and a stocky waist. His whole body was covered with thick brown hair, and he was wearing a fur coat. He looked like a big brown bear. He must be the Jin Dan leader of the Savage Bear Clan mentioned by Li Yonghong.
The person on the right was tall and thin. His face was gloomy. His eyes were as sharp as lightning. There were bursts of light flashing in his eyes. Coupled with the aquiline nose that did not match his face, it made people feel uncomfortable. He was undoubtedly the Jin Dan powerhouse of the Split Eagle Clan.
The dozen people who followed behind also withdrew their beastkin aura at this moment, and they faintly divided into 2 groups. Obviously, the 2 Beastkin Clan muscular men of Split Eagle Clan and Savage Bear Clan were the leaders. They looked at the humans with extremely unfriendly eyes.
When Liu Ming looked at the 2 Beastkin Clan muscular men, his pupils abruptly shrank. The 2 Beastkin Clan muscular men exuded deep and dense Beastkin Clan Demonic Qi. They were almost on par with Ji Ying and Hu Zang.
At that moment, the aquiline-nosed man of the Split Eagle Clan seemed to sense Liu Ming's gaze. He suddenly turned his head and a faint golden light flashed in his eyes.
Liu Ming felt a stabbing pain in his eyes, as if they were being scorched by fire.
His heart trembled and he revolved his magic power. A layer of black light covered his eyes and the stabbing pain slowly subsided.
A trace of surprise appeared on the aquiline-nosed man's face and the golden light in his eyes slowly faded.
At that moment, the black beast-like muscular man took a step forward and said in a loud voice:
"Since you've all come, let's not waste time and begin! Seven duels, life and death will be decided by the heavens! "
The man surnamed Sun swept his gaze across the group of Beastkin Clan Demonic Qi and nodded.
"Good, as Fellow Xiong said, there is nothing more to say between us. Let's begin!"
As soon as the voices of both sides fell, a pitch-black demonic wind rose behind the black beast-like muscular man and landed between the two groups. The demonic wind dissipated, revealing a black-robed man with a scar on his face.
"I am Xiong Wu of the Barbarian Bear Clan. You human scum, which one of you wants to die first!" The knife-scarred man laughed wildly and unscrupulously challenged.
The human cultivators were naturally enraged when they heard this. A red-robed man's face darkened and he suddenly turned into a fireball and shot forward.
The man surnamed Sun frowned slightly when he saw this but didn't say anything to stop him.
Liu Ming looked at the red-robed man's back. This person was Chen Wanqing, a disciple of the Eight Great Clans. From the looks of it, he cultivated a fire-attribute cultivation method.
Both sides were at the Pseudo Pellet Stage. In terms of spiritual power, the Beastkin Clan's knife-scarred man seemed to be better. However, since Chen Wanqing dared to challenge him, he should have something to rely on.
Although Xiong Wu of the Barbarian Bear Clan shouted loudly at first, he didn't make a move after his opponent appeared. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
Seeing that the opponent didn't make a move, Chen Wanqing snorted coldly. He made a gesture with both hands, and a dazzling flame suddenly appeared on the surface of his red robe. "Whoosh", a fire snake with the thickness of a bowl flew out from his right sleeve. It wrapped around his body and hissed at the knife-scarred man.
The fire snake seemed to be quite spiritual. It spat out flames from its mouth from time to time.
"Eh, this is Spirit Devouring Fire Snake. I didn't expect someone in the Middle Sky Continent could control such a spirit beast." The hook-nosed man's eyes flashed with golden light. He looked at the fire snake on the red-robed man and murmured.
"Spirit Devouring Fire Snake? I haven't heard of this name. Is this beastkin very powerful? "The black brawny man asked in a tight voice.
The knife-scarred man was his clansman, and this was the first battle between the two sides, so he attached great importance to it. After all, if he lost, it would be a great blow to his morale.
"This Spirit Devouring Fire Snake is a mutated spirit beast that lives in volcanic magma. Once it is born, it feeds on fire. It is born with the ability to control fire. The beastkin fire produced in its body is even more powerful than the innate pellet fire of the Jin Dan cultivator. But Brother Xiong doesn't have to worry. This fire snake's cultivation is still shallow. If it evolves from snake to dragon, even you and I will have some trouble dealing with it. As for now, hehe, it's nothing to worry about. "The hook-nosed man said faintly.
The black brawny man's face changed slightly at first, but he was relieved when he heard the last part.
Liu Ming, who was standing on the opposite side, moved his ears, and his eyes flashed slightly.
Although the hook-nosed man spoke softly, and they used beastkin power to isolate the sound, Liu Ming's Divine Thought was powerful, and he had taken the True Soul Fruit. His Divine Soul power had greatly increased, so he could still hear most of the conversation between the two.
He immediately narrowed his eyes and looked at the fire snake.
For this Shen Family, one of the eight great families famous for their fire control mystic arts, he also heard a little about it, but he never had the chance to see it in person.
It was said that the Fiery Mountain Villa where the Shen Family was located was built in the Chiyan Mountain Range, which was as famous as the Green Smoke Nether Sea. There were countless volcanoes around. Several volcanoes would erupt every day. The magma that was enough to melt the superb spiritual weapon made cultivators below the Crystallization Period unable to step in at all.
In the Chi Yan Mountain Range, the fire-attributed energy was naturally extremely abundant, causing many fire-attributed beasts that had long gone extinct in other places to appear. Every direct disciple of the Chen Clan had to find and raise a Spiritual Beast on their own in order to obtain the acknowledgement of the Chen Clan.
It seemed that this Spirit Devouring Fire Snake was Shen Wanqing's spirit beast.
"Your fire snake doesn't look ordinary." In the field, the beastkin cultivator with a scar looked at the fire snake on the young man in red robe and said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, if you are afraid of death, immediately kowtow and admit defeat, then I will consider letting you live." Shen Wanqing said with a strange smile.
"Just because of this sentence, I, Xiong Wu, will crush your bones into ashes today!" The beastkin cultivator with a scar flashed a murderous light in his eyes. He sneered, made gestures with both hands, and chanted in a low and obscure voice.
The black beastkin aura on his body surged, turning into countless pitch-black tentacles that danced wildly on his body.
