The Dragon-Phoenix Abyss had been open for a full year.
Too many battles had taken place this year, and many creatures had died one after another. There were originally 100,000, but now there were only 60,000 left. With 40,000 dead, the death rate had exceeded 40%.
In the past, the death rate was at most 30%. However, this time, before the end of the competition, the death rate had already exceeded that. Other than the fact that many treasures had appeared in this competition, which led to more battles to the death, it was also because of the special environment that greatly affected the movements of the geniuses here. Even with the imperial edict, their lives were still in danger. This was also the reason for the high death rate.
No matter what, this was the cruelty of the competition between the geniuses of various clans. If one wanted to become a top-notch expert, one had to go through such a baptism of blood and tears. Only then could one become stronger and become an overlord in the future.
Following the appearance of the Invincible Ranking a few months ago, many geniuses tried their best to rush up to the Invincible Ranking. As long as they could enter the top 100, they were destined to be famous throughout the world. The significance of this was no small matter.
Regardless of whether it was the human race or the creatures of other clans, they were all crazily refreshing their win rates. The leaders of various clans all asked their subordinates to surrender, relying on this to quickly obtain victory. Then, they quickly searched for the nearest creatures and subdued them to strengthen their own teams, preparing for the final battle of the Invincible Ranking.
In the battle of the Invincible Ranking, what mattered in the end was not only the battle strength of an individual, but also the strength of a team.
No matter how strong an individual was, he could not be compared to a powerful team. Once he fell into the encirclement of a team, he would only end up dying in the end. Therefore, every top-notch genius was strengthening their team. When the battle of the teams began, as long as they could defeat one or two teams, they would be able to rapidly increase their ranking.
Currently, the most powerful team of the human race was none other than the Wuhou gang. After Yang Wu ascended to the top of the Invincible Ranking, his popularity had reached its peak. Even if he did not recruit others, there were still geniuses who came to surrender one after another, and were willing to join the Wuhou gang and become a member of the gang.
Thus, the Wuhou gang rapidly grew. Now, the number of humans had reached 1,800. These people included those who had followed Yang Wu before, such as Lu Zhi, Yang Ba, Xu Zhu, Yang Yifan, Yang Meiman, and the Seven Heroes of Wu Dang. They had all joined him.
In addition, there were nearly four hundred spirit demons who had joined the Marquis Gang. This was Yang Zhenlong's team, and the golden-crowned eagles were among them as well. The strongest member of their team was Ao Yu, a prince of the Flood Dragon Clan. He was not a prince like Ao Changzhan. His bloodline was a level higher than Yang Zhenlong's, and he had the potential to transform into a dragon in the future.
Ao Yu was ranked in the top ten of the Invincible Ranking. He was willing to come to Yang Wu because he wanted to battle with Yang Wu. Yang Wu had fulfilled his wish and fought with him. In the end, Ao Yu defeated Ao Yu. Therefore, these hundreds of spirit demons were all willing to surrender to increase Yang Wu's chances of victory. Moreover, these hundreds of spirit demons had joined forces with the Wuhou gang, strengthening the Wuhou gang's team.
However, Yang Wu's team was not the strongest. There were three other teams that were not weaker than them, and some even surpassed them. First was the Devil Race. This race was very united against external forces. Their leader, Xie Jiuren, had gathered more than three thousand Devil Race beings. Once they started a conflict, there might not be any team that could withstand them. Another team was led by Fox Princess. She was the Seven-Tailed Fox King, and had a high bloodline. Moreover, the previous Invincible King title was also won by another Seven-Tailed Fox King. Their Fox Race had a very high prestige, and she had gathered nearly three thousand spirit demons. As for the other races, they were led by the Jade Emperor Race. Di Mo's brother, Di Shang, was very strong, and had also gathered more than two thousand spirit demons.
With the various races forming teams, the victories of these sky-prides were being refreshed bit by bit. Yang Wu was no longer the sole leader, and was only slightly ahead of Xie Jiuren, Fox King, and Di Shang. These guys had all surpassed three thousand victories, and Yang Wu was the first to surpass four thousand victories. He was infinitely close to five thousand victories, and was about to break the previous record.
In the past, there had been situations where various races had formed teams, but it was far from being as crazy as this one. It was all because Yang Wu alone was suppressing the other living beings so much that they could not raise their heads. Therefore, these living beings came up with this plan.
As time passed, there was a slight change in the Dragon-Phoenix Abyss. Everyone could feel that this space was about to open up again. When that time came, they would definitely have to leave the Dragon-Phoenix Abyss, and that would mean that the Battle of the Dragon-Phoenix Abyss would be over.
At this point, all the top-notch sky-prides were starting to get anxious. This was especially so for the other races. They did not want a human to ride on their heads and shit. Therefore, some sky-prides suggested that they choose a battlefield to determine the final Invincible King.
In the meantime, each race would choose their own Kings. Then, they would compete to determine the final Invincible King.
Half a month later, all the living beings who wanted to compete for the Invincible King started to move closer to Yang Wu's location. Yang Wu's location would be the final battlefield.
When Yang Wu heard this news, he was in favor of this suggestion. He was also tired of the constant running around. It would be good to end it early and leave.
Ever since he killed Ba Li, he had not stopped to rest. He had been chasing after Kun Mingzi and Xing Yu. However, the two of them had fled in different directions. Kun Mingzi headed north, while Xing Yu headed south. Yang Wu could only choose to chase after one of them. The one he wanted to kill the most was Kun Mingzi. Therefore, he led his team north.
There was a cold spring in the north.
When Yang Wu arrived there, he found that there had been a great battle. The cold spring had been taken by Kun Mingzi.
Kun Mingzi's escaping skills were top-notch. Yang Wu wanted to abandon the team and chase after him alone, but Meng Bingxue stopped him.
Kun Mingzi's battle prowess was extraordinary. She did not want Yang Wu to take the risk. Moreover, Yang Wu's goal should be the Invincible King, not Kun Mingzi.
Yang Wu suppressed his impulse and did not deliberately chase after him. Instead, he led his team to search for ore veins. They mined all the high-value ores here. At the same time, they also searched for items of dragon, phoenix, and other holy items.
With the help of such a large team, Yang Wu obtained a lot of holy soil. These were all holy soil used to cultivate herbs. It was very difficult to find in the outside world. In addition, there were many holy stones. He even found a piece of Mysterious God Stone. This was a true god-tier material.
However, before he could warm it up, Little Hei snatched it away.
Little Hei said that it was refining a good weapon for Yang Wu.
Yang Wu went with the flow. He tossed the Dual Blades, Triple Dragon Spear, and Mysterious Phoenix Sword to Little Hei and had it upgrade these two weapons.
Blackie didn't refuse. After extorting some materials from Yang Wu, he upgraded the two weapons to top-grade Sacred Weapons. The Dual Blades and Three Dragons Spear had been refined with dragon bones and fragments of damaged Divine Weapons. It was branded with top-grade array patterns. Its power could definitely be ranked in the top ten of the Sacred Weapon Ranking. It was even more precious than the Luo Water Spear. Although the upgraded Phoenix Profound Sword wasn't as good as the Dual Blades and Three Dragons Spear, it wasn't much worse than the Luo Water Spear.
Apart from that, Yang Wu also had Little Hei refine a top-tier holy garment. It was modeled after the one from the Apothecary Alliance. In the end, the holy garment that Little Hei refined was even more beautiful than the one from the Apothecary Alliance.
Little Hei lamented that it had not fully recovered its strength and that it did not have enough materials. Otherwise, it would have been able to refine a divine weapon.
In truth, even if it had divine materials, Little Hei would not refine Yang Wu's two weapons into divine weapons. It did not want to become dependent on Yang Wu's weapons.
Over the past six months, Yang Wu had rarely used his weapons in battle. Little Hei had emphasized that he should use the Barbaric God's Arms and Wind God's Legs more often to refine these innate abilities to the extreme.
Every innate ability possessed extraordinary power. The Barbaric God's Arms could unleash powerful arm strength and great destructive power.
Little Hei had asked Yang Wu to use the strength of his arms to continuously smash the hardest rocks. This was the most primitive way to refine the strength of his arms.
The rocks here were incomparably hard. Even a Minor Saint would find it hard to break them if they collided with each other with their fleshly body. It was true that Yang Wu could use his arms to break the rocks.
Yang Wu felt that Little Hei's method was too deceptive. However, he still followed it. At the very least, Little Hei would not harm him.
Therefore, whenever he encountered an incomparably hard rock, he would smash it like a madman.
The prodigies who followed him were all stunned by his method of refining his arms.
Was this how Yang Wu usually cultivated?
This was too crude.
Many of these prodigies came from major forces. As their strength increased, their cultivation methods would also change. Most of the time, they would use formations, spirit herbs, and spirit liquids to refine their bodies. Why would they use such a low-level cultivation method?
Yang Wu felt like he was being looked at like a monkey. Whenever he encountered a hard rock, he would use it as a target to vent his anger and smash it into powder.
As he practiced this "swinging" cultivation method, Yang Wu discovered a strange feeling in his arms. After a long period of swinging, the acupoints in his arms seemed to have been stimulated. The energy they could absorb increased by a lot. It was as if they had become sponges. They could continue to absorb more and more energy to improve the power of his innate ability.
After this shocking discovery, Yang Wu understood Little Hei's painstaking efforts.
Innate ability was the unlocked potential of the human body. This potential was limitless. Under the stimulation of external forces, it could be further improved.
Therefore, he cultivated even more desperately. He even cultivated his leg technique. He did not use his Celestial Qi and stepped on the rocks barefoot. It was as if he was hammering his arms and continued to stimulate the potential of the acupoints in his feet.
Yang Wu was slowly improving his innate ability. He gradually understood Little Hei's painstaking efforts. It did not necessarily want him to use this method to continue cultivating. Instead, it wanted him to understand that his innate ability could be continuously excavated. The so-called "limit" was not the real limit. Only by breaking the limit would a new world appear.
After Yang Wu understood this principle, he also understood how to refine his innate ability in the future.
Unknowingly, their team appeared at the westernmost side of the Dragon Phoenix Abyss. It was also the ultimate battlefield that Yang Wu had chosen.
There was divine soil in the west.
This was Yang Wu's final goal. He hoped that he could bring some divine soil out of here.
Yang Wu had just found the location of the divine soil when he discovered that part of it had been eaten by living creatures.
