In front of them was a vast forest that stretched as far as the eye could see. Within the forest, human figures were moving and Wild Beasts were fighting. The scene was very chaotic and it seemed that these Wild Beasts had reached the First Martial Honorable Realm. Hence, when these people entered the forest, they suffered greatly under the claws of these ferocious Wild Beasts. There were even more than ten of them who were killed on the spot.
Withdrawing his gaze, Feng Hao saw a stone tablet a short distance away from the entrance. On it were the words, "Searching for immortal tracks in the Bewildering Woods, charging alone into the Hundred Puppets Array, bravely breaking through the nine heavens!"
"These should be the three checkpoints set up by the Great Sage!"
Yan Qing softly read it and said.
"Three major checkpoints?"
Feng Hao also came to a realization.
Lost Forest for Immortals.
It should be referring to the boundless forest in front of him.
Looking at the density of the dire beasts inside, Feng Hao's mouth could not help but twitch.
How could an ordinary person come to this place?
The Holy Power suppressed everyone's cultivation to the peak of the Martial Ancestor Realm. However, it released a group of First Grade Martial Honored Realm Wild Beasts!
A Martial Ancestor fighting against a Martial Honor, was this something that an ordinary person could do?
Most importantly, this was only the first stage!
Therefore, after witnessing this scene, Fenghao knew that the inheritance of the Sky Warring Great Sage wasn't something that could be obtained by luck. That's because the Sky Warring Great Sage didn't rely on luck to make a name for himself!
What he needed was not a lucky successor!
As for the first stage, it was also the most basic stage. He had to rely on his Martial Ancestor cultivation to search for the so-called immortal tracks in this forest that was filled with Martial Venerables and desolate beasts.
Just this alone was sufficient to make many people retreat in the face of difficulties. However, those who were able to remain were all people with outstanding natural talent!
And now, Feng Hao and company could see that the Nephrite Saint, the Big Dipper Saint, and the other Saints were still as mighty as ever. They moved freely in the forest at the Martial Ancestor Realm. Some of the desolate beasts that attacked were finished off with a single move. Compared to the bitter battles elsewhere, it was clear who had the upper hand!
They were able to fight Martial Kings as Martial Honorables and Martial Arts Grandmasters against Martial Honorables. What did this mean to them?
As for the other two checkpoints, although he didn't know what they looked like, just from their names, he knew that they were definitely extremely difficult!
"Phew! …"
Feng Hao exhaled. Soon after, a raging purple flame ignited in his eyes, akin to two clusters of demonic flames that could devour one's heart.
The East-rising Purple Qi, which had been promoted to the Heaven Realm, was naturally different from the others. Not only could it see further, but it also seemed to be able to see through the nature of the world. Some of the great rhythms that were normally invisible could be seen through by the purple eyes.
"Eh?"
Feng Hao felt that the entire forest was within his sight, but he still couldn't find any traces of immortals. After a while, he withdrew his purple eyes doubtfully and shook his head slightly, indicating that he hadn't found any traces of immortals.
"How about we go look for them first?"
Feng Hao suggested.
After all, the Heavenwarring Tomb would only be open for seven days. At that time, everyone in the tomb would be expelled. However, things were different this time around. The reason for that was because Xue Yan, the Celestial Image Master, had said that she had seen from the Celestial Image Realm that there would be a successor to the Heavenwarring Great Sage's legacy.
"That's the only way."
Yan Qing nodded. The four did not split up. Instead, they headed into the depths of the forest together.
Not long after everyone entered the Heavenly Abyss, a group of people with deathly still auras appeared above the Death Abyss. There wasn't the slightest bit of vitality in their bodies, as if they were dead.
After arriving at the Heavenly Abyss, they jumped down without hesitation under the shocked gazes of the others. The thick miasma in the Heavenly Abyss did not seem to be able to corrode them. After everyone entered the bronze door, they also quietly snuck in.
About an hour later, the silver moon in the sky gradually dimmed. The luster on the bronze door immediately weakened, and with a loud bang, it slowly closed.
...
It had been an entire day since they entered the Heaven-Battling Ancient Tomb. Everyone was like a headless fly, scurrying around the forest in search of the so-called immortals.
It was strange. Thousands of Dire Beasts were killed every day, but the number of Dire Beasts in the forest never decreased. Moreover, it seemed like the number was increasing day by day. The situation was very strange.
"Could it be that the first stage is just to eliminate a few people?"
Feng Hao narrowed his eyes as he watched the Dire Beasts annihilate the teams one by one.
The area of the forest was not very large. After a day, he had practically circled the forest twice. Other than the forest, there was nothing different. There was no trace of the so-called immortals.
Now that he discovered the abnormal number of Dire Beasts, Feng Hao could not help but feel suspicious.
Within a day, no less than ten teams had been annihilated by the Dire Beasts. They had been devoured so thoroughly that not even their bones were left.
In order to obtain something, one had to first pay the price. There was no free lunch in this world. It was impossible to obtain the Heaven-Battling inheritance without sacrificing one's own blood.
Trying to make a fortune!
Feng Hao could imagine that at least half of these people would die in the first stage!
If the first stage was already like this, what about the second and third stage?
Many people had the intention to retreat, but they discovered that the bronze door had already closed. They retreated to the entrance and joined forces to resist the Dire Beasts' attacks, waiting for the seven days to pass.
The Chosen also seemed to have noticed this anomaly. They all stopped in their tracks, either hovering in the air or sitting on the treetops, waiting for the immortals to appear.
"Ha!"
With a loud roar, the man from the King Kong Tribe that Yan Qing had spoken of tore a huge Dire Beast in half. Fresh blood and intestines drenched him, but he did not mind the filth. Instead, he pounded his chest and roared with such ferocity that the other Dire Beasts in the forest dared not approach him.
His strength was so terrifying that he could tear apart a First Martial Honorable Realm Dire Beast with his bare hands!
The Blood Demon's body flowed with blood-like energy. Whenever a Dire Beast attacked, it would be devoured cleanly by the scarlet energy, leaving nothing behind. It was truly terrifying!
The Nephrite Holy Son pointed with both hands. Rays of incandescent light shot out from his fingertips, piercing through the heads of the Dire Beasts one by one, killing them all in one blow.
Although his cultivation had been suppressed to the peak of Martial Ancestor Realm, killing Martial Honorable Realm Dire Beasts was still a piece of cake for him.
On Feng Hao's side, Yan Qing wielded her longsword and lashed out with her Thunder Whip. None of the Dire Beasts could withstand a single strike. After a while, the Dire Beasts all retreated in this direction.
"Ah!!!"
A blood-curdling shriek suddenly rang out. A dazzling Chosen, drenched in blood, flew high into the air like a ferocious spirit. His eyes were filled with horror as he stared at the forest below.
