Chapter 1786: Chapter 1786: No, Did They Really Crawl Out of The Coffin? (1/3)
The giant sea beasts continued to burst from the depths, tearing into the group relentlessly.
Everyone was fleeing desperately.
However.
When "Xu Luo" appeared once again in the crowd’s line of sight, they all revealed looks of disbelief.
Wasn’t he swallowed whole by the beast?
Did he resurrect?
Huang Xin and Han Daoxuan exchanged glances, exhaling heavily in relief.
If Xu Yeming had truly died, they would find themselves in an impossible situation to report back.
The Xuanyuan Clan members all had grim expressions.
They had assumed Xu Luo was dead, dealing a heavy blow to the Xu Family while allowing them to seize the Sun and Moon Token in this place.
To them.
Han Daoxuan was of no real concern; the Seven Treasures Saint Sect’s Huang Xin and Xu Luo were the key entities to watch.
Xu Chen, while swiftly dodging the bites of the giant beasts, looked at "Xu Luo" and asked, "What on earth happened?"
Xu Yeming didn’t lie but omitted some of the details about his gain as he replied, "I’m not sure why, but after being swallowed by the beast, I ended up in an inheritance ground and stumbled upon some opportunities there."
Hearing "Xu Luo’s" words, everyone froze in astonishment.
Swallowed by a beast only to somehow end up in an inheritance ground?
Is this guy for real?
What about the others who got swallowed and torn to shreds earlier? Were they just doomed?
Calling this guy the Son of Providence wouldn’t even be an exaggeration!
Xu Chen was at a loss for words as well, feeling that this kind of luck seemed excessively outrageous.
Regardless, the most pressing matter now was how to find a way to pass the trial.
With Huang Xin and Han Daoxuan’s transmitted messages, Xu Yeming quickly understood the current situation.
They had already been running on the surface of the sea at full speed for over half a day. The sky was now tinged with the fiery red of the setting sun, and even the sun had shifted behind them, but there was still no trace of a shoreline.
At this rate, there would truly be no chance left.
Recalling the words the elder had spoken before.
And reflecting on his own string of prior analyses.
Mou Tian Hall surely wouldn’t set a task as simplistic as mindlessly running toward the direction of the sun!
Wait...
Xu Yeming suddenly froze, narrowly avoiding being swallowed by a beast once more.
After dodging, Xu Yeming lifted his head and looked toward the sun now positioned directly overhead and slightly behind him. He began to laugh.
It seemed.
He had been overthinking things.
Hadn’t the elder already given them the answer from the very start?
Run toward the direction of the sun, and make it before sunset... Since the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, they should be running continuously toward the west instead.
Having figured it out, it seemed remarkably straightforward.
Perhaps the most challenging part was not contemplating this angle in the first place.
While dodging the giant beasts, Xu Yeming pivoted directly, gulping down several medicinal pills to increase his speed, and began retracing his route.
His blistering pace caused the others to look on with shock and disbelief.
"Huh? Why is Xu Luo going back the way he came?"
"If he retraces his original path, won’t he have to go through all the traps again? Even if he’s experienced them before, no one can guarantee they’ll be able to survive them a second time!"
Xu Yeming paid no attention to their words, relying on his hypothesis that he had to reach the shoreline before sunset. He realized he had already wasted nearly half a day running in the wrong direction.
Which meant... it had taken half a day to reach the current point from the starting line.
Returning along the original path meant he would have to be much faster than before to reach the shore!
No one could predict how far away the shoreline would be from the starting point after they reached it.
Watching Xu Luo’s bizarre actions, Xuanyuan Zixi, Xu Chen, Huang Xin, and Han Daoxuan furrowed their brows in confusion.
But those who had managed to reach this stage of the trial were no fools.
Observing Xu Luo’s direction of movement, they glanced at the sun in the sky.
Understanding dawned on them instantly.
Without hesitation, they charged madly after Xu Luo in pursuit!
They realized if they didn’t act quickly, they would truly miss their chance!
Still...
The journey ahead proved tense but fortunately without significant incidents.
Utilizing various medicinal pills to boost their speed, everyone managed to evade the traps once more, pushing themselves to surpass their previous performance. In the end, they finally reached the shoreline just as the sun was about to set.
However.
Some weren’t adequately prepared, whether due to limited resources or insufficient backing, such as rogue cultivators with no factional support. These individuals failed to keep pace and were subsequently teleported out of the ruins directly.
Upon reaching the shoreline.
The group returned to the grand hall once more.
As expected, the elder appeared once again, shaking his head slightly as he took in the significantly reduced numbers. "It seems this generation turned out even worse than I anticipated."
Xu Yeming smirked and retorted, "Then why don’t you have the younger generation of your era climb out of their coffins and compete against us!"
What the hell!
Is this guy even capable of normal speech?
The elder clenched his fists, his smile twisted with anger. "Don’t you worry, you’ll see soon enough."
With those words.
He waved his hand, and before everyone’s eyes, a massive iron gate creaked open!
Beyond the gate, there stood a grave mountain!
The mountain was covered in tombstones.
Fixing his stare on Xu Yeming, the elder let out a cold laugh and said, "If you lack the talent and power to surpass the younger generation of the Chaos Divine Dynasty, how can you be qualified to enter its Core Land?"
With that declaration.
The elder reached out and pointed toward the grave mountain.
A chilly wind swept through the area.
Creaaaakk...
Suddenly, coffins began to burst out of the ground in front of the erect tombstones!
Xu Yeming’s brow twitched.
You’ve got to be kidding me. He seriously made the young generation of the Chaos Divine Dynasty crawl out of their coffins!
Everyone else was staring at "Xu Luo" with strange looks on their faces.
A prophet?
The elder cast a mocking glance at Xu Yeming before scanning the rest of the group. "Alright, head inside. You’ll be guided to your opponents soon... Naturally, as always, there remains the risk of death. The level of danger this time will exceed anything you’ve faced before. Decide now if you’ll retreat or continue the challenge."
Having made it this far.
Naturally, no one was willing to withdraw.
In addition, they couldn’t help but feel a surge of curiosity.
Just what kind of power did the Chaos Divine Dynasty’s youth—renowned for their brilliant cultivation civilization—possess in their era?
Without hesitation, the group moved toward the grave mountain through the giant gate.
As Xu Yeming’s figure disappeared into the distance, the elder let out a cold laugh, harboring dark thoughts.
Although Xu Yeming had inherited the will of the Wild Beast Envoy, some small acts of retribution were still necessary.
If they couldn’t pass this trial, it would only prove that the Wild Beast Envoy had chosen the wrong successor!
...
Meanwhile.
In another ruin where Ye Qiubai and Mu Fusheng were located, the two had similarly passed the trial, entering the final part of the challenge.
At this point, the two had already reunited.
Their challenge also involved a grave mountain.
However... This mountain was different from the one facing Xu Yeming.
Ye Qiubai now looked pale and unstable, his aura flickering weakly as members of the Xuanyuan Clan surrounded him completely!
"What a pity. The earlier trial failed to rid us of you, allowing you to escape by sheer luck. Now... your luck has run out."
