Withered bones were everywhere in the gloomy canyon. Black mist filled every inch of space, causing people to have a bone-chilling feeling. Being in this place would cause people to have an absurd misconception, as if they had arrived at the Ninth Netherworld.
"Buzz …"
In this space, densely packed strange creatures flapped their blood wings, emitting a buzzing sound. Together, they covered Jiang Xiaofan in layers. Their sharp teeth were madly gnawing at the divine light screen outside his body.
"Oh my God!"
Jiang Xiaofan felt his scalp go numb. He had a very nauseous feeling.
These creatures were strange and ugly. They had a pair of fleshy blood red wings on their backs. Their bodies were covered with dark black scales. From time to time, they would let out ear-piercing screeches. Like hungry locusts, they kept grinding their demonic teeth, gnawing at the light screen outside his body until it was full of holes. Large patches of it shattered.
"This … this can't be a God-Eater Bat, right?"
Jiang Xiaofan muttered to himself. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
God-Eater Bats were evil creatures in ancient legends. They fed on the divine power and flesh of cultivators. They were extremely terrifying. It was said that there was nothing in this world that they couldn't bite into. He had once seen records of these ferocious creatures in an ancient book. He didn't expect to see them with his own eyes one day.
All of a sudden, he felt a sharp pain in his right hand. While he was distracted for a split second, one of the God-Devouring Bats had actually bitten through the light barrier around his body, leaving behind a shallow wound on the back of his hand. A scorching pain traveled through his hand, and it was slightly sore.
"Damn it!"
Jiang Xiaofan was unhappy. He quickly shook his body. The divine light outside his body shone brightly, propping up an even more powerful divine light screen. At the same time, his right hand moved slightly. He grabbed the God-Eater Bat that had penetrated his body. He exerted force, wanting to crush it.
However, what surprised him was that this creature was too tough. Even with his physical body that was comparable to a Renhuang, he couldn't damage it at all. He couldn't destroy it at all. He even took out the Divine Sword Crimson Blood that he had taken from Murong Ling. However, the outcome was the same. The Divine Sword slashed at the God-Eater Bat, but sparks flew. It couldn't damage its body.
What a terrifying God-Devouring Bat!
He finally understood why there were so many skeletons in this mountain valley, and why that black beast hide hadn't been taken away by anyone. As it turned out, there was actually a large group of God Devouring Bats here. All of the trial-takers who came here had been completely devoured, leaving behind only skeletons.
The God-Devouring Bats had a flesh shell that was even sturdier than that of a Renhuang. The God-Devouring Bats could not even threaten the God-Devouring Bats. In fact, the God-Devouring Bats could even be used as food. It was easy to imagine that once one was surrounded by this group of God-Devouring Bats, even a Renhuang would not be able to withstand them. They would be eaten clean.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaofan was surrounded by such a group of terrifying God-Devouring Bats. They were madly devouring the barrier of divine power around his body, and it was likely that they would break through in a little bit more time. It could be said that this was practically a hopeless situation.
However, he was not very worried about this. The silver light around his body slowly disappeared, and the protective barrier shattered in an instant. Immediately, the God-Devouring Bats screeched excitedly and pounced on him like a tide.
However, it was also in the next moment that a monstrous golden light vibrated out, almost illuminating the sky. In an instant, the group of God-Devouring Bats that had rushed forward let out shrill screeches. With a swoosh, they fell from the sky, trembling.
Although the God-Devouring Bats were terrifying, they carried an evil aura all over their bodies. Naturally, they would be suppressed by the power of the Buddhist sutra. Moreover, he also had the Thunder God Technique, which could also make them feel terrified. For example, right now, with a light flick of his finger, a wisp of lightning appeared. Immediately, another group of God-Devouring Bats fell from the sky in fright.
"Oh, this is also good stuff. It's an excellent weapon for killing people. Erm, ferocious bats …"
Jiang Xiaofan stroked his chin. Although the God-Devouring Bats were terrifying and dangerous, if used properly, they could definitely kill people without leaving a trace. A faint golden light appeared in the palm of his hand. He carefully wrapped some of the God-Devouring Bats on the ground and refined them with the power of the Buddhist sutra. Then, he threw them into the Interspatial Ring. In total, he had collected hundreds of them.
There were many more God-Devouring Bats like this in this space. He really wanted to keep all of them in captivity. They were simply a group of terrifying killing machines. If he released all of them, even Renhuang cultivators would have to run away.
However, he could only think about it. After all, the Interspatial Ring was only so big. Although he had the Buddhist sutra and the Thunder God Technique, which could effectively suppress the God-Devouring Bats, it was obviously impossible for him to control such a large group of them. He simply did not have the ability to do so.
He looked around and did not stay any longer. After burying the corpse, he lifted his leg and walked toward the other side of the canyon. He continued to look for other traces of gods. He believed that since he had found a few lines of mysterious ancient characters in this place, there must be some in other places as well. Perhaps they would be of great use to him.
Her Highness the Princess had already left for some time. The snow-white demon beast was also not by his side. This made him feel like something was missing. It was very uncomfortable. This feeling made him very angry. He wanted to find clues about the Kingdom of the Gods as soon as possible. Although he did not have the combat strength to fight his way in, he at least wanted to know where it was.
"Speaking of which, that girl only said a name. She didn't even give me a specific location. Really …"
Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaofan felt a little depressed. When Her Highness the Princess left, her face was flushed red. She was extremely cute and gave him a goodbye kiss. Then, she told him that she lived in the Kingdom of the Gods. But, but … how would he know where the Kingdom of the Gods was?
Right now, he could only raise his cultivation level while searching for information about the Kingdom of the Gods. However, he was not very anxious. After all, he could see that the two people who came to look for Her Highness the Princess were very respectful to her, even though they were a little too powerful and could kill Renhuang cultivators with a wave of their hands.
"Sigh, I'll just take it one step at a time …"
Finally, he passed through the canyon. In front of him was a wasteland. There were many broken weapons and broken armors on the ground. In this place, he saw four powerful Trial Challengers. Their cultivations were at the second Sky of the Illusory God Realm. They seemed to be searching for something.
He didn't mind this at all. Even though the Strongest Trial was given the name of a trial, it didn't require all the participants to fight. Their main purpose was to come to this mysterious world to seek the Immortal's Fortune and temper themselves.
Most importantly, he had his own principles. If others didn't provoke him, he wouldn't provoke others for no reason. He walked forward. He did not want to do anything. He just wanted to pass through this place.
These Trial Challengers obviously noticed that someone was walking over. At this moment, they all raised their heads. Their expressions were somewhat vigilant. However, when they saw that Jiang Xiaofan was alone, they all relaxed after a while.
"Stop!" Seeing that Jiang Xiaofan was walking forward, one of the four spoke. His face was somewhat cold. He said expressionlessly, "This place has already been cordoned off by us. Don't step into it. Leave quickly."
Jiang Xiaofan paused. However, he did not stop. He continued to walk forward.
The man who spoke had a cold look in his eyes. Seeing that Jiang Xiaofan didn't stop, he directly threw a cold sword in his hand. With a 'chi' sound, the sword stabbed into the soil at Jiang Xiaofan's feet. He coldly said: "Did you not hear what I said?"
Jiang Xiaofan finally stopped. His expression was calm as he said, "I want to go to the stone forest ahead."
"That's your business. It has nothing to do with us." The person who spoke before walked forward. He was very domineering. He raised his hand and took back the cold sword. He said, "This place now belongs to us. If you want to go to the stone forest, then go around from the other side. We can't let you pass through this place."
The man was about twenty-five years old. He expressionlessly pointed to the other side, where there was a sparkling black river. It flowed slowly, and no one knew where it ended. If they wanted to go around it from that direction, it would take at least ten days.
Jiang Xiaofan raised his head and stared at this person. He said, "Looking for trouble?"
This person was stunned. He did not expect this lone person to say such a thing. Behind him, the other three people also walked over. They were not the core disciples of the four great sects. They were geniuses from some small forces. They had all reached the Illusion God Domain.
Of course, they did not come from the same sect. As an ordinary small force, it was already very shocking if one of them could reach the Illusion God Domain at this age. This was because they could not compare to the Immortal Dao Sects. They did not have rich spiritual energy or sufficient resources.
These people had already communicated with each other at the beginning of the trial. After entering the Graveyard of Deities and Ghosts, they moved together. They could not compare to the disciples of the Immortal Dao Sects. There were not that many Illusion Gods in the same sect. They could only use this method to temporarily form an alliance to resist the enemy.
At this moment, one of them spoke with a somewhat feminine expression. He said, "I've already said it twice. This is the last time. Don't be ungrateful. If you want to go forward, then you can only take a detour. If you don't leave, then don't blame us for being merciless. For you, this is a road to death. "
They sneered at the same time. They had enough confidence. With four Illusion Gods traveling together, they could face many problems. At this moment, there was only one person in front of them. They were naturally fearless.
"You're really looking for trouble …" Jiang Xiaofan helplessly shook his head. He was blocked by four people. His expression was very calm. He said, "I'll give you three seconds. Get out of the way. Otherwise, don't blame me for throwing you out to feed the fishes."
"Courting death!"
The expressions of these people instantly became gloomy. At this moment, they were filled with killing intent. Even if they killed a core disciple of the four great sects in this so-called trial, it was not a big deal.
They surrounded him together and didn't hide their killing intent at all. One of them was the most direct. His right hand circulated with a bright light. A powerful aura spread out, causing the space to tremble. He directly slapped towards Jiang Xiaofan's face.
"Bang …"
Jiang Xiaofan's expression was calm as he reached out and grabbed the man's wrist.
"You dare to fight back?"
This person coldly shouted with two cold glints shooting out from his eyes.
"Idiot …"
Jiang Xiaofan disdainfully exerted a bit of force with his right hand. With a cracking sound, this person immediately let out a miserable scream. His wrist was broken and turned into a hook. Moreover, Jiang Xiaofan did not stop. He moved with the momentum and directly threw the person out, smashing into the black river in the distance with a splash.
