The light of day dawned in an instant!
As a young man, about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a haggard face, walked out of the small world, Zhou Daoyuan directly announced the end of the second round of assessment!
Following this, the disciples who had entered the small world returned to the outside one after another!
Without exception!
Every face was filled with dejection!
After all, this was a once-in-a-millennium grand event, and missing it would be a lifelong regret!
"Congratulations to the two thousand promoted disciples!"
Zhou Daoyuan's voice resounded through the main peak!
"The next is the third round of trials!"
Speaking of this!
He tore open the sky with his bare hands!
A massive rift appeared in the air!
In an instant, a dark red sky appeared in everyone's sight!
Countless towering corpses of demonic beasts stood tall there, and severed mountain peaks could be seen everywhere!
As well as severed rivers!
What was even more chilling was that a star, split in two, was actually in the air...
An ancient and desolate aura mixed with the smell of blood washed over them!
It gave people an illusion, as if they were in purgatory!
For a moment, many people trembled!
It wasn't just the disciples who failed the assessment!
Even the disciples who had completed the assessment and were about to enter the third round looked uneasy!
The Dao Sect was the number one sect. Although the disciples under its banner often sparred with each other, they had never seen such a bloody scene!
Chen Nan was also shocked!
But it wasn't because of the scene within the Divine-Demon Battlefield!
It was that Zhou Daoyuan could tear the void with his bare hands!
Could such a skill be achieved by a cultivator in the Out-of-Body Stage?
"This is the Ancient Divine-Demon Battlefield!" Zhou Daoyuan's expression was solemn. "Compared to the first two rounds, the third round is filled with endless dangers, and even life-threatening ones!"
"What you need to do is to enter the Ancient Divine-Demon Battlefield and find Divine-Demon Crystal Stones!"
"Divine-Demon Crystal Stones are spiritual stones soaked in the blood of gods and demons!"
"Although this journey is very dangerous, there are many opportunities in the Divine-Demon Battlefield!"
"This is not compulsory. If anyone is unwilling to enter, they can choose to withdraw!"
Silence fell upon the scene!
Are you kidding me!
They had finally completed the first two rounds of assessment!
Who would give up the last round?
Even if they couldn't find any opportunities in the Divine-Demon Battlefield, they could enter the Dragon's Nest upon returning!
"The Divine-Demon Battlefield is dangerous. If you encounter danger, you can inject your true qi into the Dragon Scale Token immediately, and it will safely send you out!"
"The assessment time for the third round is ten days!"
"Victory will be determined by the number of Divine-Demon Crystal Stones!"
"If there are no objections, then let's enter the Divine-Demon Battlefield!"
Swish, swish, swish!
Figures rose from the ground and entered the Divine-Demon Battlefield!
Upon entering the Divine-Demon Battlefield, the smell of blood that assaulted Chen Nan's senses was quite uncomfortable!
Fortunately, it did not suppress cultivation, so flying swords was possible!
Yang Tu appeared behind Chen Nan and said with a chuckle, "Junior Brother Xuanyuan, this round is full of dangers, why don't we join forces?"
"No need!"
Chen Nan had no good feelings towards this fellow who was always eager to watch the fun and didn't mind making trouble!
Because no one knew if such a person would stab you in the back at a critical moment!
"Junior Brother Xuanyuan, Senior Brother Ao is also here. If you are alone, I'm afraid you will be in great danger!" Yang Tu grinned!
???
Chen Nan frowned slightly!
Ao Hanye had also completed the second round of assessment?
Could it be that he had plundered someone else's Dragon Scale Token?
"Xuanyuan Yue, I bet you didn't expect me to be here in the Divine-Demon Battlefield either?" Ao Hanye appeared behind Chen Nan with more than a dozen Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had been beaten black and blue by Chen Nan!
A sinister smile spread across his face: "It's time to settle our old scores today!"
The others also clenched their fists, itching to try.
Some even took out their spirit artifacts!
Although they had been beaten by Chen Nan!
But at that time, they were unable to exert their true strength!
And now!
Ao Hanye had a cultivation base of the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage, and the remaining dozen or so people also had a cultivation base of the fourth level of the Nascent Soul stage!
With more than a dozen people combined, let alone Xuanyuan Yue, who was at the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, even an eighth or ninth level cultivator of the Nascent Soul stage would be able to fight them!
"Xuanyuan Yue, kneel down and repent to Senior Brother Ao now, and we can spare your life!"
"That's right, if you want to live, you must kneel and apologize to Senior Brother Ao!"
"Xuanyuan Yue, hurry up and kneel to apologize! And return those ten thousand-year-old spiritual herbs and one thousand mid-grade spirit stones to Senior Brother Ao!"
Several people had the demeanor of having already captured Chen Nan.
In their eyes, Chen Nan had already become a fish on a chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered!
Although many people passed by and watched from the side, no one dared to step forward to protect Chen Nan!
After all, Ao Hanye was the First Holy Son!
If they offended him, the consequences would be unimaginable!
"If you ally with me now, I can help you resolve the current situation!" Yang Tu said, a playful smile on his face!
Chen Nan sighed softly, "Even in this situation, you can threaten me. I really can't convince myself to ally with you! Well, I can't find any reason to ally with you at all!"
"You ungrateful wretch!" Yang Tu's smile instantly turned cold. He hadn't expected Chen Nan to embarrass him in public!
"Senior Brother Ao, we fellow disciples should unite and help each other here. Even if you have a conflict with Junior Brother Xuanyuan, you should resolve it outside!" Lu Yuqiu, the only woman among the five great prodigies, walked over, dressed in a white long dress, followed by a group of women!
Ao Hanye raised his eyebrows: "Junior Sister Lu, are you trying to stand up for Xuanyuan Yue?"
Lu Yuqiu said calmly, "I didn't intend to stand up for anyone. It's just that a gentleman does what he should and doesn't do what he shouldn't!"
"Senior Brother Ao, as the First Holy Son of my Dao Sect, this kind of behavior might cause dissatisfaction among the disciples of the sect and make it difficult to win their support!"
Ao Hanye was furious: "You know I'm the First Holy Son of the Dao Sect too? If that's the case, shouldn't I maintain my own dignity?"
"If I don't teach Xuanyuan Yue a lesson, it will be even harder to win them over!"
Lu Yuqiu glanced at Chen Nan, then flew away on her sword!
Her relationship with Xuanyuan Yue was not good to begin with, and her previous words were just from the perspective of a bystander!
But to ask her to help...
It wasn't necessary yet!
"Xuanyuan Yue, why don't you kneel and repent?" Ao Hanye sneered!
Chen Nan raised his hand and slapped him!
Accompanied by a crisp slap!
Ao Hanye was once again sent flying, spitting blood!
This scene shocked everyone!
Because no one expected Chen Nan to dare to make a move at this time!
"Damn it!"
Ao Hanye was enraged: "Xuanyuan Yue, do you really think I'm a soft persimmon? Even if you have the peak cultivation of the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage, so what? Today, I will surely kill you!"
A hint of disdain flickered across Chen Nan's face. His aura, at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, poured out like a volcanic eruption: "Who said I am only at the peak of the seventh level of the Nascent Soul stage?"
"I have reached the peak of the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage. Don't you know about this?"
