The battle between the ferocious beast and the humans was still going on intensely. The five people who were trying to protect the two women continuously slashed their swords toward the snake, launching combination attacks that enraged it even more. Fortunately, they managed to inflict some wounds on the snake’s body. However, all of that had little effect on the massive creature, whose physique was extremely strong and whose skin was incredibly tough.Once again, they were thrown back violently, covered in wounds. A rumble of attacks came crashing toward the snake as more and more people tried to assist Su Lai in gaining the attention of a woman.A series of explosions echoed through the air as the snake’s head was struck by dozens of powerful energy attacks. Unable to endure it any longer, the snake finally collapsed to the ground.All of this had indeed been planned by Su Lai. However, part of it did not go as expected—the snake’s strength was far greater than they had anticipated,

“We’re saved!” Guan Zhen shouted, snapping the others out of their romantic daze. Bai Ren and Ai Noe immediately came back to their senses, realizing what they had just done. A moment ago, they had been completely carried away by their emotions. Now that they were aware again, Ai Noe’s face flushed red. How could it not? She had just experienced something unforgettable. She didn’t even know whether she should thank the Iron Lizard or not—this situation had simply happened so suddenly. “Huh?” Confused voices escaped from all four of them as they saw the seven Iron Lizards lying dead within such a short time. Not only that, the way they died made their scalps tingle. “How is it possible that in such a short time, all these beasts were killed, each of them beheaded? Just how sharp is the sword of that person?” Jin Koen questioned. But no one could answer. They all turned to Guan Zhen. Under their gazes, Guan Zhen explained everything he had seen—from beginning to end, including how

These seven people—including the one who had previously lost an arm—stared at the ashes of their companions, their hearts pounding faster. What was the point of obtaining a rare fruit if it meant sacrificing so many lives? In the end, they gave up. It was better to seek opportunities elsewhere.Now, only Song Que remained hidden.He immediately launched a formation into the air, targeting the fluctuations he had sensed earlier—where the shadowy figure had occasionally revealed itself.After releasing the Four-Direction Trapping Formation, Song Que revealed himself. He calmly stared at the camouflaged figure.“Thunder!”From the sky, roaring lightning gathered into a massive sword that shot downward, striking the exact spot where the invisible figure stood. Song Que relied purely on instinct to pinpoint its location. At the same time, he had already protected the Fire Red Fruit to prevent it from being destroyed—after all, it would be a waste if it got ruined!A deafening roar echoed e

Two weeks had passed. Many auras surged into the sky, indicating that numerous participants who had entered the Sacred Area had successfully advanced their cultivation levels. Once they reached the Saint Realm, they were expected to become individuals capable of protecting others.However, only a small number truly thought that way.For most, the law of the jungle still prevailed—where the strong devour the weak.Such a mindset would never truly disappear. To establish a better ideology, one would first have to completely destroy this way of thinking.Many achievements had been made by those who survived. Almost everyone experienced steady growth—from the middle stage to the upper stage, and from the upper stage to the peak stage. It was nearly universal.Yet, there was one thing unknown to most people.Inside a certain cave, a single individual was emitting an extraordinary aura. If not for the formation concealing it, this aura would have caused widespread shock among those who sens

Song Que was the last person to leave the Sacred Area, using a method different from most others. He had already observed his surroundings and found no one else, so he immediately headed to Patriarch Ye Zhu’s residence to bid farewell and deliver what had been requested of him—a Fire Rose that grew within a scorching crater.“Hopefully that Sky Sword Patriarch managed to obtain the Fire Pearl,” Ye Zhu muttered as he leaned back casually.Just as he was speaking, a knock sounded on his door. He spread his perception and sensed someone standing outside. A smile appeared on his face as he walked over.“Come in! How was your journey in the Sacred Area?” Ye Zhu asked eagerly the moment he saw Song Que.Song Que followed him inside. Before sitting down, he replied, “There are still many untouched places, and they allowed me to reach a level I once could only imagine, Patriarch.”Song Que sat, while Ye Zhu poured a cup of wine.“I also encountered a Fire Dragon Spirit and brought you the Fir
