"Human Race?! You are Li Xiaotian!"
In a wilderness, despite Li Xiaotian's caution, he was discovered.
He was a powerhouse from a Dou Qi world, clad in golden armor, having just slain a demonic beast. At this moment, his aura was soaring, his presence astonishing.
But upon recognizing Li Xiaotian, he froze, surprised, and then overjoyed.
Originally, after seeing Li Xiaotian's name on the stone tablet, he had some anticipation, wondering if he might encounter Li Xiaotian. The Divine Realm was hunting Li Xiaotian, and the Demon Race had placed a hefty bounty on him. If he were to kill Li Xiaotian, wouldn't he gain the friendship of the Demon Race from then on?
Therefore, upon confirming Li Xiaotian's identity, his heart was filled with sheer elation.
Human, the appearance was exactly as the Demon Race had announced. He was about to strike it rich!
However, Li Xiaotian ignored the other party and turned to leave. Seeing this, the Dou Qi world powerhouse let out a sharp cry, "Stop!"
"Li Xiaotian, leave your life!"
He gave chase, blocking Li Xiaotian's path, his eyes burning with fervor.
"Truly not afraid of death!"
Li Xiaotian said calmly, his lips curving slowly. He then stepped forward, unleashing a fierce palm strike.
"Hmph!"
The Dou Qi world powerhouse snorted at this and immediately unleashed his full power.
"Boom!"
A terrifying aura erupted, sending surrounding rocks flying. The powerful air currents directly scattered the clouds high above.
In the next instant, the Dou Qi world powerhouse was sent flying.
"This is impossible!"
The Dou Qi world powerhouse cried out, his eyes filled with disbelief. He couldn't believe he was defeated by Li Xiaotian in a single move.
"What's impossible about it? Aren't you curious why you were so easily caught up to?" Li Xiaotian said indifferently, his gaze mocking. He hadn't intended to escape; he merely turned around to see if he could lure this person over. Who would have thought the other party would be so foolish and fall right into the trap.
"This is impossible! You are merely a human, and likewise an invincible sixth stage, why are you so strong?"
The Dou Qi world powerhouse shouted, his body almost ruined. He tried to struggle and recover several times but failed, his face filled with shock and fear.
At this moment, his body was filled with a strange power that suppressed his recovery, filling him with horror. He had never encountered such a situation before.
"What's impossible about it? It's because you are too weak, it has nothing to do with me being human." Li Xiaotian stated calmly and strode towards him.
"Bastard, kill!"
The Dou Qi world powerhouse roared, his body suddenly glowing, and his powerful aura began to fluctuate. His body erupted with terrifying killing intent. After all, he was a peak sixth-stage expert and had some trump cards.
Unfortunately, even with his full power unleashed and his aura soaring, it changed nothing.
Li Xiaotian stepped forward, without any light or energy fluctuations, and brought down a foot, shattering the aura surrounding the Dou Qi world powerhouse and causing a massive explosion.
"Boom!"
Li Xiaotian stepped forward, directly shattering the void, and blood splattered everywhere. The Dou Qi world powerhouse felt his vision go black before he forever lost consciousness, as a foot crushed him into a pulp, ending his life permanently.
Following that, his devouring power activated, instantly obliterating all of the other party's divine senses.
A peak sixth-stage expert, a trial participant, already a prodigy, died just like that. Li Xiaotian's expression remained calm throughout. After killing the opponent, he strode towards the depths of the forest.
Simultaneously, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes because his ranking on the stone tablet had improved, and next to his name, a number '4' was displayed.
The person from the Dou Qi world he had just killed was the first trial participant he had encountered. He hadn't expected trial participants to count towards mission completion.
Li Xiaotian murmured to himself, then understood the true terrifying nature of this trial. Clearly, the number of demonic beasts in this world was limited.
If one acted early and killed ten sixth-stage creatures, they could pass. But if it came down to the wire and all the demonic beasts were hidden, then only the trial participants would be left to kill each other.
This was likely the true trial of the first stage, Li Xiaotian mused.
In the endlessly dense mountain forest, light particles sprinkled down like crystalline petals, resembling a fairy realm, appearing brilliant and beautiful.
Li Xiaotian walked silently like a lone traveler. Ten years of secluded cultivation had imbued him with a terrifying aura.
When he was alone and calm, his natural presence radiated outwards. Even without energy fluctuations, it made people's hearts palpitate, as if countless beasts facing a king in the desolate wilderness, compelled to find a detour and avoid him.
A giant eagle swooped down from high above, silent until it was close, revealing its ferocious talons as it tore towards Li Xiaotian's head. The massive bird was dozens of zhang long, its body exuding surging blood qi. Instantly, clouds were pressed down, strong winds howled, and malevolent winds wailed, as if countless resentful souls were moaning.
This was a void demonic beast, also a trial participant, possessing terrifying strength. Its colossal form cast vast shadows on the ground.
Li Xiaotian sidestepped, covering dozens of zhang in a single step, evading the attack. He turned back coldly, fixing his gaze on the giant eagle, his expression devoid of emotion.
At this moment, the giant eagle's feathers bristled. It felt as if it had become the prey, locked onto.
"Boom!"
It unleashed its strongest attack, its talons shattering the void and leaving the area in ruins. Then, it flapped its wings, preparing to ascend into the sky.
Because it sensed danger from Li Xiaotian, it decisively decided to leave.
