The 10 elite disciples stood in a line at the entrance of the Floating Crest Palace.
The Clan Master and 4 Elders had just opened the Floating Crest Palace and their auras were slightly weak.
The 5 cultivators at the True Spirit Realm sat cross legged at the entrance.
While they were resting, their gazes landed on the 10 elite disciples with anticipation in their eyes.
The Broken Moon Clan Master smiled and nodded her head towards Ran Xiaoyuan with a hint of encouragement.
1st Elder's expression was calm as he looked towards Yang Gan and Zhao Feng, especially the former.
Elder Xue, Hai Yun Master and Granny Liuyue also had their own disciples participating in the Floating Crest Trial.
Zhao Feng could faintly feel that this Floating Crest Trial was a competition between the Elders.
Amongst the crowd, one of the 3 Core disciples, 'Quan Chen', coldly glanced at Zhao Feng.
Ever since the Xing family mission and Zhao Feng becoming 1st Elder's disciple, Quan Chen had been suppressing the anger in his heart.
And now, his chance had finally arrived - the Floating Crest Trial.
The Floating Crest Trial was filled with danger and fortune.
In the past, there had been many deaths.
More importantly, the cultivators at the True Spirit Realm outside the Floating Crest Palace couldn't see what was happening inside.
Weng ~
The entrance of the Floating Crest Palace shook slightly.
The white entrance was a huge "azure door of light" that was more than thirty meters long and wide.
Around a few breaths later, the azure door stabilized.
"The entrance is stable. After 10 people enter, the door will automatically close and the trial will begin."
1st Elder warned.
Shua! Shua!
Everyone understood and used their movement techniques, turning into afterimages and passing through the green door of light.
Shua!
The second they passed through the azure door, Zhao Feng felt a numbing sensation spread throughout his body.
In the next instant.
Everyone appeared in a dark space with a weird black and gold road that was tens of yards wide.
On both sides of the black and gold road was an endless abyss with strong winds that could shatter metal and threaten cultivators at the 4th Sky of the Ascended Realm.
In this dark space, even though everyone had reached the Transcending Mortality Stage and their bodies had undergone a transformation, giving them a certain level of night vision, their vision was still limited.
But there was one exception, and that was Zhao Feng!
The dim space had little effect on him.
"Why can't I move?"
The ten elite disciples felt their bodies go numb and stiff. They felt like they couldn't control their bodies.
Xiu! Xiu! Swoosh …
In the dusky space, a few bright spots appeared and turned into ten transparent ancient green command tokens. With a whoosh, they merged into everyone's bodies.
At the same time, a harsh voice sounded in everyone's head, "The Floating Crest Trial has begun. The Floating Crest Token will be used to calculate your results."
Everyone was prepared for this before they entered the Floating Crest Palace.
"According to the rules of the trial, the longer you persist, the better your results will be. The number of trials you pass, as well as your performance along the way, will affect your results. The results of the trial will determine the final reward. "
The stiff and mechanical voice sounded as if it was just following a rule.
At this moment, Zhao Feng felt the numbness in his body gradually disappear.
His body could move.
"First trial, Abyss Path of Death, time limit: 3 days."
The stiff voice said the last sentence before disappearing.
Everyone stood on the black gold road, not knowing what to do.
The black gold road was made of a tough material that gave off a cold feeling. With everyone's strength, it was hard to damage it at all.
On both sides of the road was an endless abyss. The wind howled and changed at any moment without any pattern.
Zhao Feng analysed, if they jumped into the abyss, apart from the 3 Core disciples who could resist for a while, everyone else would be ripped to shreds.
The only safe place was the black gold road.
Not knowing why, Zhao Feng felt a chill down his spine as he felt a sense of danger coming from behind him.
Keng! Keng! Keng …
From the darkness behind the black gold road came a soul-shaking sound. At the same time, a terrifying aura filled the area.
What is that?
Everyone, including the three Core disciples, looked behind them, but they could only see a giant blurry figure.
Oh my god …
Zhao Feng looked back, and his heart shook in shock.
"Go!"
Without saying anything else, Zhao Feng messaged Lin Fan and ran towards the black gold road.
Lin Fan didn't have any suspicions as he followed Zhao Feng and ran.
Quan Chen and co. were puzzled, but the sound of heavy metal footsteps came closer and closer.
The terrifying aura made it hard for them to breathe and their blood froze.
Of the ten, a few instinctively followed Zhao Feng.
Keng! Keng …
From the endless darkness, a giant golden-black monster that was thirty feet tall walked out. It was as tall as a three-story building, and its eyes glowed with a dark green light. It seemed like it had just opened, and the light was growing brighter.
A pair of metal wings extended from the back of the Black Metal Monster, and its entire body was surrounded by a layer of dark green light that enveloped a radius of a hundred feet.
"What monster is that!?"
Everyone's heart shook.
"Everyone run! This black gold monster's aura is comparable to an expert at the True Spirit Realm."
Yang Gan exclaimed.
Even someone as strong as him, who had reached the 5th Sky of the Ascended Realm, had no way of fighting back against an existence at the True Spirit Realm.
There was only one outcome for anyone who faced the Black Gold Giant Monster: instant death.
Yang Gan didn't dare doubt this and Zhao Feng didn't dare doubt it.
Zhao Feng's eyesight was the best and he immediately saw the black gold monster's aura. Therefore, he didn't hesitate to run!
Run forward.
There was no path of retreat.
Behind them was the black gold monster that could instantly kill everyone and on both sides was the abyss. There was only one path of survival.
Sou Sou Sou ~ ~
The 3 Core disciples were the fastest and they circulated their True Force to reach the front in the blink of an eye, leaving Zhao Feng and Lin Fan behind.
Lin Fan's expression changed, but there was nothing he could do.
Among the ten challengers, the three direct disciples had the most profound cultivation foundations.
Keng! Keng! Keng …
The sound of metal footsteps came from behind.
It seemed like the black gold monster was only walking quickly, but its speed wasn't slow either. Every step it took covered ten meters.
The heavy footsteps and the terrifying aura of the True Spirit Realm caused everyone's hearts to tremble with fear.
"Once this monster catches up to us, we'll all be instantly killed."
Quan Chen was filled with fear and he didn't have the time to scheme against Zhao Feng in this situation.
Despair! Despair of Death!
Everyone tensed up and ran at full speed.
"Brother Zhao, why aren't you running faster?"
Lin Fan and Zhao Feng jumped shoulder to shoulder and found that the latter's speed was neither fast nor slow.
Zhao Feng's eyes were sharp and his expression was calm as he looked behind him and said in a low tone: "Didn't you hear the notification? The first trial 'Abyss of Death' has three days."
Lin Fan paused for a moment before his expression changed dramatically and he took in a cold breath.
"Can you maintain full speed for three days?"
Zhao Feng said calmly.
"No, I can only maintain full speed for four hours at most."
Lin Fan shook his head.
If one used the body lightening technique, the speed of those at the Ascended Realm could reach several times that of horses.
However, maintaining full speed consumed a lot of energy.
On the other hand, the first trial had three days.
"The Floating Crest Trial won't send a monster at the True Spirit Realm to kill us. Otherwise, do you think we'd have a chance to escape?"
Zhao Feng continued to ask.
"No chance."
Lin Fan didn't hesitate.
Facing someone at the True Spirit Realm, they had no ability to fight back.
If the ten of them stood together, an expert at the True Spirit Realm would be able to instantly kill them all.
"The black metal monster's speed is only at the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm. As long as we are faster than it and don't get caught up, we'll be fine. We need to maintain our strength and persevere for three days. That's the way to go. "
Zhao Feng revealed the answer.
His eyesight was the best and he could estimate the black metal monster's speed. Thinking back to the restriction of the first trial, he came up with this conclusion.
The black metal monster was comparable to those at the True Spirit Realm in every aspect. The only restriction was its speed.
A speed close to the 2nd Sky of the Ascended Realm was slower than any other participant.
No wonder!
Lin Fan immediately controlled his speed to conserve energy. At the same time, he couldn't help but respect this youth who was much younger than him.
Zhao Feng's calmness and analysis had reached an unbelievable level.
Keng! Keng! Keng …
The sound of the heavy metal footsteps became smaller and smaller.
Zhao Feng and Lin Fan maintained their speed and were only slightly faster than the black metal monster. As time passed, even if they were slightly faster, the distance between them would increase.
A couple of hours later.
Hu! Hu!
Sun Yuanhao and Liu Yue 'er sat on the metal path in front of them.
Running at such a high speed took a lot of energy out of them.
"The two of you ran so slowly, but the black metal monster didn't catch up?"
Liu Yue 'er's eyebrows furrowed as she said in shock.
"Hehe, we only need to be a little bit faster than the black metal monster. En, it won't be long before that big guy catches up. "
Zhao Feng smiled faintly.
After a short pause, he and Lin Fan continued on their way, as if they were just sightseeing along the way.
"That works?"
Liu Yue 'er and Sun Yuanhao looked at each other in disbelief.
But not long later, heavy metal footsteps came from behind them.
"Run!"
The two looked at the huge black figure behind them and the terrifying aura made their blood freeze.
The first stage of the trial, Death Abyss Path, had a time limit of three days.
Half a day passed.
The disciples who were running for their lives not long later used up a lot of their energy.
Although everyone had spirit pellets that could replenish Yuan Qi and physical strength, the strain on their bodies and the loss of their Profound Qi could not be completely recovered.
Furthermore, recovery spiritual pills were effective for a short period of time, but they weren't suitable for continuous use.
Zhao Feng and Lin Fan were the first to discover the black metal monster's pattern. They controlled their speed and energy, using the smallest price to achieve the greatest effect.
The other disciples ran at full speed for a while before stopping to rest. But just when they recovered their energy, the black metal monster caught up again.
Of course, they weren't idiots. They gradually discovered the black metal monster's pattern and adopted a corresponding strategy.
Death Abyss Path.
The second day.
Some disciples were already feeling tired.
After all, the black metal monster didn't know fatigue, and they were made of flesh and blood. They needed rest and replenishment.
At this time, Zhao Feng discovered that the scenery on both sides of the abyss had changed.
In the dark abyss, there were some floating boulders that didn't fall due to the astral wind.
At first, Zhao Feng didn't understand. Later on, he realized that there was a tattered wooden house in the area of several floating boulders, and inside lay a skeleton.
The skeleton in the wooden house had existed for a long time, but its whole body was glowing with a faint luster. Beside it were some miscellaneous things: a pile of Primordial Crystal Stones, a broken bamboo sword, a jade pendant, a few ancient books …
The three Core Disciples were standing there, watching the battle.
