Hundred Chi Gate, Trial Peak!
"Yu Haoran, you must know that hundreds of thousands of years ago, the living environment of the Profound Sky Continent was much better than it is now. The population was at least a dozen times greater than it is now."
Speaking of this, Ta Lingran suddenly shouted with great agitation.
"A quarter of the population, that's tens of billions!"
"If we include the wild beasts and exotic beasts that had their blood sucked dry, the number would definitely exceed a hundred billion!"
Hearing Thaling say that the Gold Devouring Beetles had sucked dry the blood of hundreds of billions of living beings in just half a year, almost turning the Profound Sky Continent into a living hell, Yu Haoran could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.
This was because he did not know that the Gold Devouring Beetles, which seemed to have many uses and were not dangerous at all, actually possessed such terrifying methods and had once caused such a painful price.
Ignoring Yu Haoran's shock, Thaling continued.
"Faced with the threat of extinction, the strongest human and exotic beasts of the Profound Sky Continent joined forces to fight against the Gold Devouring Beetles. After nearly a hundred years, the Gold Devouring Beetles were finally defeated."
"In order to prevent the Gold Devouring Beetles from rising from the ashes, all the experts of the Profound Sky Continent at that time jointly announced an extermination plan. That was to absolutely not allow a single Gold Devouring Beetle to exist in the Profound Sky Continent. Even their corpses had to be destroyed."
"Therefore, after a thousand years of carpet searching, all the Gold Devouring Beetles were finally exterminated, and the Profound Sky Continent was finally restored to its former glory."
His brows furrowed slightly, but quickly relaxed.
This was because Thaling had just said that hundreds of thousands of years ago, the Gold Devouring Beetles had been completely exterminated. Not a single Gold Devouring Beetle could be found in the entire Profound Sky Continent, not even their corpses.
However, Yu Haoran knew very well that not only had the Gold Devouring Beetles not been completely exterminated, but they had also been cultivated on a large scale, reaching a certain scale.
This was because in his previous life, he had once seen living Gold Devouring Beetles in a certain fallen family clan. There were even tens of thousands of them.
Moreover, he received a gift from the clan before he left. He received three one-time use magic tools refined from the corpses of the Gold Devouring Beetles and ten living Gold Devouring Beetles.
Actually, when the red ball in Zhao Xinyu's hand exploded after fusing with Zhao Xinyu's blood, Yu Haoran already knew the origin of the red ball in his hand. He also knew why Zhao Xinyu had ordered his subordinates to block off all possible escape routes.
Because the Gold Devouring Beetles could devour the blood of living creatures, they could use corpses to refine single-use magic tools that restricted bloodlines.
Within the red circle of light formed by the Gold Devouring Beetles, as long as it was a constitution related to blood, martial skills, and mental cultivation methods, nothing could be used.
This included special constitutions and transformation secret techniques.
That was because the Transfiguration Secret Technique used the blood essence of mutated beasts. Through the special activation and operation of the Transfiguration Secret Technique, the Transfiguration Secret Technique would give the Transfiguration Secret Technique the strength of the mutated beast.
The most basic principle was to make full use of the blood essence of exotic beasts, which happened to be within the limits of the Gold Devouring Beetles' abilities.
"Yu Haoran, although the Gold Devouring Beetles Zhao Xinyu used were only magic tools refined from the corpses of dead Gold Devouring Beetles, due to their special constitutions, their corpses can only be preserved for a short period of time.
"Even magic tools made from their corpses can't be preserved for more than ten years.
"In other words, Zhao Xinyu, or the person who gave him the magic tool for the Gold Devouring Beetles, definitely knew of their existence.
"Therefore, you must capture Zhao Xinyu alive and interrogate him about the mastermind behind the Gold Devouring Beetles. Then, think of a way to unite the experts of the Profound Sky Continent and exterminate the Gold Devouring Beetles together," Thaling suggested with great worry.
"I'll try my best!" In response, Yu Haoran's reply was very casual.
This was because after hundreds of thousands of years of research, not only was that fallen family able to raise Gold Devouring Beetles, they were also able to control their bloodthirsty and berserk side. It was completely possible for them to not cause any harm to the beings of the Profound Sky Continent.
Furthermore, other than being able to refine magic tools that restricted bloodlines, the Gold Devouring Beetles could also be used to refine top-notch pills that could help Martial Saints increase the power of their bloodlines. How could they be destroyed so easily?
Therefore, not only was Yu Haoran's reply very casual, he also didn't plan on telling Thaling about the existence of the Gold Devouring Beetles for the time being.
Although Thaling was very dissatisfied with Yu Haoran's casual attitude, he knew that Yu Haoran, who hadn't experienced the terror of the Gold Devouring Beetles, didn't understand the dangers and dangers of the Gold Devouring Beetles.
Therefore, Thaling secretly transferred a trace of his Divine Sense to Zhao Xinyu's body, hoping to find the mastermind behind the Gold Devouring Beetles through Zhao Xinyu.
"Yu Haoran, now that you can't use the secret transformation technique, how are you going to deal with Brother Zhong, who is a ninth grade Martial Master?"
After the red sphere formed a red circle of light that completely enveloped Yu Haoran and the others, Zhao Xinyu waited for a while, hoping to see Yu Haoran's panicked expression.
Unfortunately, other than the initial shock, Yu Haoran's expression didn't change at all. This made Zhao Xinyu deeply disappointed, and he could only let Zhao Zhong take action.
"Yu Haoran, I've already said it." Zhao Zhong walked past Zhao Xinyu and approached Yu Haoran step by step. He shook his head and stretched his arms and legs as he spoke with a sinister smile.
"If you don't have the intimidation of the secret transformation technique, how could you, Yu Haoran, be able to make the experts of the various sects fear you?"
"If you don't have the assistance of the secret transformation technique, you, Yu Haoran, are just an ordinary disciple that no one knows about. Even if you die, no one will know about it."
"Now, it's time to verify whether what I said was true or not!"
Facing the slowly approaching Zhao Zhong, who spoke with an unusually arrogant tone, Yu Haoran's expression didn't change in the slightest. He turned his head and gestured to Gong Sun Yiming and his sister, who had serious expressions.
"You guys stay back for now!"
"Yu Shixiong, if you can't do it, it's best to inform the senior brothers of Qingyun Peak!"
Without the assistance of the secret transformation technique, although Yu Haoran wasn't as weak as Zhao Zhong had said, he was definitely not a match for Zhao Zhong, who was a ninth grade Martial Master.
Therefore, Gong Sun Yiming hurriedly reminded him.
"A mere Zhao Zhong isn't worth the trouble of senior brothers!"
Shaking his head with a smile, Yu Haoran turned his head and stepped forward to meet Zhao Zhong. At the same time, he activated the Yuan Li in his dantian and the strength of his physical body.
"No wonder you didn't panic at all after losing the assistance of the secret transformation technique. It turns out that your cultivation has already broken through to the Martial Master realm." Seeing Yu Haoran activate his Yuan Li and expose his cultivation as a Martial Master, Zhao Zhong was stunned for a moment. However, his expression was still filled with disdain as he mocked.
"So what if your cultivation has broken through to the Martial Master realm? With your talent and potential, you're at most a first grade Martial Master."
"With this level of cultivation and strength, I can still crush you to death with one hand."
Facing Yu Haoran exposing his cultivation as a Martial Master, although Zhao Zhong didn't feel much, to Zhao Xinyu, the shock in his heart was like a stormy sea.
More than two months ago, he and Yu Haoran had participated in the talent and potential test of the Hundred Chi Gate's disciples at the same time.
At that time, Zhao Xinyu's cultivation was at the peak of the ninth grade Martial Disciple. He had the talent and potential of a peak Martial King.
Yu Haoran was also at the peak of the ninth grade Martial Disciple. His talent and potential were slightly better than his, close to the early stage of the Martial Saint realm.
