This was also the best way to test a person's strength. If they lacked strength, they would be eliminated directly. If they had strength, they could be chosen as a friend or eliminated early.
Those present were all shrewd individuals. With a little thought, they understood the crux of the matter. Therefore, what they needed to do now was to determine Ye Ningze's true strength.
Thus, they began to create opportunities for Ye Ningze. Even if some were unwilling to clear a path for him, the Grand Elder of the Su family and the Grand Elder of the Song family had already spoken.
Therefore, they had no choice but to comply. Refusal would mean antagonizing the Su and Song families.
This was a consequence no one could bear. Suddenly, the Grand Elder of the Wu family spoke to the Grand Elder of the Feng family beside him:
"How much ability does this fellow possess? Can you tell?"
These two had been at odds with each other, but at this juncture, there was no need for them to remain hostile.
After all, whether the Sun Base could be maintained was a huge question. If the Sun Base could continue to exist, then the major families could continue their rivalry.
If even the Sun Base were gone, why would they bother to hate each other so painstakingly?
The matter was as simple as that, allowing them to temporarily set aside their grievances and jointly deal with a common enemy. Their common enemy was the massive demonic beasts before them. These individuals unleashed their most powerful abilities. They formed groups of five, dividing the demonic beasts into two factions.
A clear path was carved out for Ye Ningze in the middle. However, even with this, it was not an easy task for Ye Ningze to traverse this path.
This was because there were always some stragglers who continuously harassed Ye Ningze's path. For Ye Ningze to pass through this area, he first had to eliminate all these stragglers.
Therefore, this was not an easy task. But for Ye Ningze, the number of these stragglers was too terrifying.
To reach the Golden Eagle Beast, he had to eliminate all these stragglers.
Feng Zhenghua, the Grand Elder of the Feng family, wore a cold sneer on his face. He wanted to see how Ye Ningze would manage to approach the ferocious beast.
But little did he know that Ye Ningze walked into this clear path unhurriedly, as if strolling through a garden.
All the demonic beasts that tried to approach him stood still, not daring to make any move.
No one knew why this was the case, but everyone was acutely aware that a distinct barrier around Ye Ningze prevented all the demonic beasts from advancing.
Because of this, those present became even more perplexed, wondering what method Ye Ningze had used to make these demonic beasts completely cease their actions.
Of course, some could discern the method Ye Ningze employed, and this person was none other than Song Qinglian.
Song Qinglian looked at Ye Ningze before him and exclaimed with wonder to everyone:
"I didn't expect this fellow to possess such powerful and terrifying mental strength. With such formidable mental power, at least the few of us cannot catch up, even if we try our best."
Hearing these words from Song Qinglian, everyone present found them somewhat unbelievable.
One must consider how arrogant Song Qinglian was, yet he uttered such a statement. Everyone fell into a moment of silence. Even so, it only indicated that Ye Ningze excelled in one aspect.
But it did not mean he was the strongest among them. Ye Ningze seemed to have anticipated their thoughts.
He combined the art of beast taming with his own spirit. The fusion of mental power and the art of beast taming turned the surrounding demonic beasts into mere pawns in Ye Ningze's hands.
With a wave of Ye Ningze's hand, the demonic beasts before him turned their claws and fangs against their own companions.
When this scene unfolded before everyone, they were utterly stunned. If making the demonic beasts stand still was already a display of mental power beyond their reach,
then making these demonic beasts attack their own kind was a level of mental power that could only be described as divine.
If this were truly the case, they were completely at a loss for words to describe their inner shock.
This time, even Song Qinglian remained silent, as he was dumbfounded. He had never imagined that Ye Ningze's mental power would exceed his imagination.
Otherwise, how could he have so easily controlled the surrounding demonic beasts?
With Ye Ningze controlling the surrounding demonic beasts, he quickly approached the Golden Eagle Beast.
The Golden Eagle Beast was currently commanding the aerial demonic beasts to engage the enemies around them, completely unaware of Ye Ningze's approach.
It was even more oblivious to the rebellion of the surrounding demonic beasts. By the time it sensed Ye Ningze's mental power, it seemed to be too late.
Ye Ningze's mental power was as fine and continuous as autumn rain, yet no force could obstruct its invasion of the Golden Eagle Beast's physical body.
The Golden Eagle Beast struggled desperately, but in the end, it found the opponent's mental power to be utterly unreasonable.
It could not break free from the entanglement and could only cast its gaze upon Ye Ningze with resignation.
It was hard to imagine that this human, with such a frail body and weak physique, could contain such terrifying mental power.
"What exactly are you? Humans do not possess such powerful and terrifying spirits. I cannot sense any demonic beast aura from you."
The Golden Eagle Beast seemed extremely wary of Ye Ningze before it. The reason was that the powerful spirit emanating from Ye Ningze gave it a sense of danger.
After all, they were elites under the thirteen demonic beasts. Their primary objective this time was to collect human blood and souls for the resurrection of the thirteen demonic beasts.
They also wanted to assess the extent of the humans' strength. But who would have thought that they would encounter someone like Ye Ningze right at the beginning?
