Just as Yang Li and the others stood in formation, five people appeared from the entrance at the same time. When they saw that the square was empty, these people were stunned for a moment. They looked around and found Yang Li's group of five. After letting out a strange cry, they rushed towards Yang Li's group.
"Hm? Their realms don't seem high. " Yang Li and the others were stunned for a moment. In their estimation, these people's realms were at least Controlling Spirit Realm Fifth or Sixth Stage cultivators, but the cultivators that appeared were only at the Spirit Realm Ninth Stage.
"It shouldn't be that simple. Who wants to deal with them?" Yang Li frowned slightly and asked.
"I'll do it." The one who spoke was actually Huo Yu, which made Yang Li a little surprised.
The gap between the Spirit Realm Ninth Stage and the Spirit Realm First Stage was not small. Huo Yu only used five ordinary Spirit Qi to completely burn those people.
At this time, footsteps came from the entrance again. This time, the footsteps were a little heavy, giving off a kind of oppressive feeling. The five people looked at the cave entrance in front of them cautiously. Five huge figures appeared at the cave entrance. It turned out to be five Ninth Order Monster Spirit Realm Scarlet Flame Tigers!
"Long Ci, swap out Yao Yao." Yang Li saw the five Monster Beasts appear and immediately said.
"Okay." Long Ci trusted Yang Li very much. Without saying anything, he swapped out Sun Yao.
"Yao Yao, the ones that appeared now are all Spirit Realm Ninth Stage Monster Beasts or humans. I'll leave them to you to improve your combat ability. Remember, unless you can't hold on any longer, don't ask for help!"
"Got it, Big Brother Yang Li." Sun Yao's voice was a little aggrieved. No matter what, she was still a girl. Yang Li's tone was a little harsh, but she also knew that Yang Li was doing it for her own good, so she didn't refute Yang Li. She believed that if she really couldn't hold on, Yang Li would save her.
Thinking of that, Sun Yao directly stood before the five of them. Her petite body formed a clear contrast with the huge yao beast. If others were to see this, they would surely feel sorry for Sun Yao. However, the others simply watched on expressionlessly.
The world of cultivators was a cruel place. Sun Yao's battle prowess was a heaven-defying four levels. Her strength could be said to be extraordinary. Moreover, they could faintly sense that the monsters that appeared later on would be stronger. Old Man Lei would not have arranged such an easy trial for them.
After all, a casual attack from them could crush these demonic beasts and humans. Even Sun Yao could face these demonic beasts calmly.
Therefore, after Sun Yao stepped forward, they directly closed their eyes and began to cultivate.
Time passed by bit by bit. Demonic beasts and humans continuously appeared in the square. Fortunately, after the demonic beasts and humans died, their corpses would immediately disappear. Otherwise, the square would have already been filled with corpses.
"Big Brother Yang Li." Sun Yao once again killed a few Spirit Controlling Stage 3 demonic beasts and called out weakly.
Yang Li suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Sun Yao In The Field. At this time, Sun Yao was already covered in wounds. Blood had even soaked her clothes, highlighting her exquisite body. Her face was pale, and even her lips were white. Sweat kept dripping from her forehead and her eyes were filled with exhaustion.
"Big Brother Yang Li, I can't hold on any longer." Sun Yao's voice was hoarse. She had already endured for an entire day and night. The long battle had caused her body and mind to be extremely exhausted, and she had only opened her mouth when she could no longer endure. From the looks of it, she had already reached her limit.
Seeing Sun Yao's appearance, Yang Li suddenly felt a sense of heartache. His figure flickered and appeared beside Sun Yao. He said softly, "Alright, Yao Yao, you go back. I'll deal with the demonic beasts next."
Sun Yao nodded with difficulty and slowly walked towards the wall. Their conversation was naturally heard by the others. Long Ci opened his eyes and walked out. He looked at Sun Yao and said with a heartache, "Yao Yao, you go inside. We'll protect you from the outside."
"Thank you, Big Brother Long Ci." After thanking Long Ci, Sun Yao walked to the wall and was firmly protected by the other three. Only then did she completely relax. Her consciousness blurred and she completely fainted.
On the other side, Yang Li looked at the creatures that appeared one after another. His face was filled with a casual expression. The demonic beasts that appeared now were only Spirit Controlling realm third or fourth layer demonic beasts. For Yang Li, it was not the slightest challenge. At most, his mind would be a little tired.
However, when he persisted for almost a day and night, Long Ci stepped forward and replaced him. After that, Huo Yu replaced him. Just like that, the group continued to rotate like this.
In the first half of the month, the group did not feel too much pressure. That was because the number of people and demonic beasts that appeared was fixed at five. The highest cultivation was only at the Spirit Controlling realm sixth layer.
In the second half of the month, although the cultivation of the demonic beasts did not change much, the number increased to ten. Although the group felt a little pressured, it was not too much.
One month later, Yang Li's cultivation had reached the Spirit Controlling realm ninth layer late-stage, while Sun Yao directly broke through to the Spirit Controlling realm first layer.
On the last day of the first month, when Yang Li killed the last demonic beast, a spirited voice sounded in everyone's ears.
"The first stage of the life and death trial is over. The second stage will begin after a day of rest."
Although the first month of the trial did not bring too much harm or pressure to the group, mental fatigue was inevitable. Now that they had a chance to rest, it was naturally very good.
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
On the second day, the five opened their eyes at the same time, wanting to see what was different about the second stage. The first person that appeared shocked everyone.
This was the first time that four people appeared at each entrance. Moreover, the lowest cultivation among them was Spirit Controlling realm third layer! The highest cultivation among them was Spirit Controlling realm eighth layer!
"The two of you will fight. This time, Yao Yao and I will go first. We'll replace each other one day later." Yang Li's expression turned solemn. The second stage was obviously much more difficult than the first. They could not be so relaxed anymore.
Twenty people attacked the two of them with all kinds of weapons. The powerful spiritual energy fluctuations reminded the two of them that they could not underestimate them in the slightest.
"Yao Yao, you deal with the lower cultivation ones. I'll deal with the higher cultivation ones." Yang Li said in a deep voice. Although he could deal with all the cultivators alone, it would put too much pressure on him. Moreover, his mind would also become exhausted.
In this way, not only would they not be able to hold on for long, but they would also need a long time to recover. If it was two people fighting, it would not be so tiring.
Moreover, according to this trend, the cultivators they would face would only become stronger and more numerous. If they did not distribute their strength reasonably, they might really not be able to hold on for the next two months.
The few of them finally understood why Old Man Lei wanted them to let go of their hostility.
One day later, the two of them were replaced by Long Ci and Huo Yu, followed by Yang Li and Ouyang Jue.
At the end of the second month, Yang Li's cultivation had also reached the critical point of breaking through. However, no matter how hard he tried, he could not help but feel a little anxious.
After a day of rest, the group welcomed the third stage of the life and death stage.
This stage was also the one that would determine their life and death.
On the first day, forty cultivators appeared. The lowest cultivation was Spirit Controlling realm sixth layer, and the highest was Spirit Integrating realm first layer. This time, they did not dare to fight with two people. Instead, they changed to three people.
One day later, the cultivators' cultivation changed again. The lowest was Spirit Controlling realm seventh layer, and the highest was Spirit Integrating realm second layer.
Five days later, the demonic beasts and cultivators that appeared were at least Spirit Controlling realm ninth layer, and the highest was Spirit Integrating realm fourth layer!
Even so, it still increased the pressure on the few of them. Because at this level of cultivation, Sun Yao was no longer able to handle it. Only the few of them could handle it.
In order to gain some buffer time, they could only fight with three people. One person would rest, and when he recovered, the next person would continue to fight.
On the seventh day, when Yang Li, who was replaced with cultivating, sat cross-legged to recover his spiritual energy and divine sense, a mysterious feeling appeared in his heart. A strand of divine sense in his sea of consciousness, like a naughty child, uncontrollably surged out from his mind and merged with the spiritual energy in his body.
At the same time, the spiritual energy that merged with his divine sense passed through his flesh and blood, greatly nourishing his body. Then, it disappeared without a trace.
I'm about to break through! No, I need to break through as soon as possible. Otherwise, all five of us will die! Yang Li's mind tightened, and he integrated all of his mental energy into his cultivation.
The other three also noticed Yang Li's situation. Long Ci gritted his teeth and said, "Who's next to rest?"
Huo Yu said with a dry voice, "I'm next. Don't remind me, I understand. I know how to prioritize things. Yang Li's breakthrough is good for us."
Ouyang Jue was silent. At this moment, they didn't even want to talk anymore. It was also this month that let them know what life and death was. Life and death was not only related to their life and death, but it also made them feel that they were better off dead than alive!
Breaking through to Spirit Integrating realm was different from breaking through to other realms. The speed was extremely slow. After one day and one night, Yang Li's aura finally stabilized. At this time, Huo Yu and Ouyang Jue couldn't hold on anymore.
As soon as Yang Li woke up, he hurriedly said, "Huo Yu, quickly come down!"
Huo Yu's expression immediately relaxed, and he quickly retreated. Yang Li replaced his previous position and faced a Spirit Integrating second level cultivator who was attacking them.
One day later, Huo Yu recovered and replaced Ouyang Jue.
The reason why everyone's recovery speed was so fast was related to Sun Yao. Sun Yao's bloodline inheritance was not a secret to them, and Sun Yao's bloodline was related to the Dao of Alchemy.
When everyone went down to rest, Sun Yao would always use her own spiritual energy to replenish everyone's body. This gave Sun Yao a little comfort, at least they weren't useless.
