Chen Tian watched the three people’s expressions without much care. He was only here to gather information and asked, “Are you only looking for the Divine Strike Trial?”
Zhan Mie, Zhan Long, and Zhan Guo Yi looked at each other and simultaneously replied, “We don’t know. We haven’t heard of such a secret realm in this place.”
Chen Tian felt a bit distressed. If they didn’t know, how was he supposed to find it? This mission trial required entry into the Divine Strike Trial, but Chen Tian didn’t even know its location yet.
Zhan Mie suddenly said, “Chen Tian, the reason we don’t know might be that it’s not in this city. This world is divided into four regions, with a city in each region. The region we are in is called the Divine Annihilation Zone, where countless deities have fallen. In the other three regions, you might find the secret realm you are looking for.”
“How do I get to the other three regions?”
“This, you need to reach the border of the world and obtain the world’s recognition to enter other regions. Only those with god-level talent can enter. We are geniuses in this region, but not enough to gain the world’s recognition. However, most beings who enter here will head to other regions because there are no other beings there, and the opportunities and treasures have not been fully unearthed. This region has been mostly explored.”
After speaking, Zhan Mie’s expression turned dejected. He also wished he could go to other regions. His talent was too poor compared to other races. Within the Divine War Clan, he was considered a genius, but here, he was nothing. Coupled with the seals and curses, the Divine War Clan had no resources to travel to other regions.
They still had things they were committed to here and did not wish to leave for now. Primarily, they couldn't leave even if they wanted to.
Zhan Long threw a yellow scroll with one hand. Chen Tian opened his palm and caught it. Zhan Long said, “This is a map of this region. The border is marked on the map. We haven’t heard of the Divine Strike Trial in the eastern part of this region. You should go and look in the other regions, but whether you can break through the barrier depends on your talent.”
“Thank you.”
Chen Tian cupped his hands and walked out of the inn. Zhan Mie and Zhan Long began to converse, “We should also get going.”
“We just don’t know where Bing Tian Ning went. There are still some Cloud Clan disciples in this area, and the three of us are a bit stretched.”
“What are you afraid of? If they come, we’ll fight.”
The three walked out of the inn without fear. Even though they knew the consequences, they showed no hesitation. The Divine War Clan never retreated.
In the jungle, the battle between Ying Tian and Yun Yi was nearing its end. The Cloud Clan disciple was no match for the Demon Eagle Clan and was directly slain. Yun Yi died under Ying Tian’s eagle claws. Ying Tian looked down at the jungle and menacingly asked, “Aren’t you coming out yet?”
A voice echoed, and Bing Tian Ning flew out of the jungle. With jet engines extending from his back, he floated in the sky. Bing Tian Ning said calmly, “You can actually sense me, not bad. How long have you been watching?”
“Kid, who are you? I’m Ying Tian. Leave quickly.”
Ying Tian looked at the young man before him. The young man had no imposing aura, but he could fly in the sky, and he felt strange. His body was made of metal. What race was he? A member of the Gold Spirit Clan?
Mechanical dual blades appeared on Bing Tian Ning’s arm, and a surge of energy erupted from his body, sweeping outwards. Ying Tian looked astonished. The power of this young man was immense.
Bing Tian Ning said, “Stop with the nonsense. The things in the cave are mine.”
Ying Tian, “Kid, you’re courting death. I’ll grant your wish then.”
Ying Tian never imagined that this human in front of him would want to take the opportunity. This was seeking death. It was just that he hadn't had his fill of killing humans a moment ago, and he didn’t mind killing one more.
Ying Tian’s claws transformed into silver eagle claws. The claw strikes fell, and with a clang, the silver eagle claws were flung away. Bing Tian Ning’s eyes flickered, and trajectories appeared in his mind. Bing Tian Ning’s mechanical dual blades clashed together, sweeping out at a sixty-degree angle. With a ding, the silver eagle claws were repelled. The vortex accelerators on Bing Tian Ning’s back erupted, and his figure turned into an afterimage, charging towards Ying Tian.
Ying Tian was shocked. He knew his eagle claws were comparable in strength to precious artifacts, yet the opponent’s mechanical dual blades showed no signs of damage and easily withstood his attack. This young man was extraordinary.
Ying Tian put away his contempt. Bing Tian Ning’s afterimage approached. Ying Tian stepped out, his feet transforming into silver eagle claws. His speed erupted, no weaker than Bing Tian Ning’s. The two collided, and the entire sky was filled with booming sounds, accompanied by explosions from the void.
Bing Tian Ning and Ying Tian appeared simultaneously. Ying Tian exclaimed, “Impossible, impossible, how can your speed match mine?”
At this moment, silver wings bloomed from Ying Tian’s back. This was Ying Tian’s semi-demonization. The Demon Eagle Clan valued explosive speed, and Ying Tian had just activated his full speed. The fact that Bing Tian Ning could still keep up was unbelievable.
In terms of speed, only a few races could surpass the Demon Eagle Clan. Now, he was being matched by a human.
Bing Tian Ning said indifferently, “Nothing is impossible.”
The vortex thrusters and wing flight systems on Bing Tian Ning’s back would continuously increase speed as long as the energy supply was maintained, achieving infinite speed. Bing Tian Ning’s speed had no upper limit, but his body couldn’t withstand such high speeds, so he didn't dare to continuously increase his speed.
Bing Tian Ning’s energy came from Chen Tian’s divine fire seed. As long as Chen Tian’s divine fire was not extinguished, the energy would not cease. Previously, it was because the energy center device was affected by vibrations and stopped operating that Bing Tian Ning entered hibernation.
Through self-repair, Bing Tian Ning had long since consolidated the energy center device and would not encounter such a situation again.
Ying Tian refused to believe it. He unleashed his speed, and his entire figure disappeared, blending with the airflow. He was undetectable and intangible. This was Ying Tian’s fastest speed. An ordinary cultivator facing such speed might suffer a fatal blow, but Bing Tian Ning wouldn’t. Red infrared scanning and thermal imaging activated in his eyes, and a red silhouette appeared before him. Bing Tian Ning swung his dual blades directly, sending two consecutive slashes towards both sides, attacking from the left and right.
There was no sound in the center of the blade light, but with a ding, the blade light hit something. Two silver eagle claws appeared. The eagle claws were thrown far away, the blade light was flung off, and the mountain was cleaved, causing debris to collapse.
Ying Tian’s figure reappeared, looking at Bing Tian Ning with disbelief. His speed was like air flow, turning into air, so how did the opponent know where he was? Air was invisible and intangible, so how?
Bing Tian Ning and Ying Tian met gazes. Ying Tian realized he had to put his full attention on dealing with this human.
“Kid, how did you find me?”
“Temperature. Even if you can’t see it, the thermal energy within you can’t disappear. Your life signs can’t disappear.”
…
The reason Bing Tian Ning found Ying Tian was simple: he was a robot with radar scanning and life detection functions. In Bing Tian Ning’s eyes, Ying Tian had turned into air flow, invisible, but what did that matter? How could a creature hide the life aura and thermal energy within its body? Under the machine’s scan, it was easy to see Ying Tian.
Ying Tian couldn't understand what Bing Tian Ning was saying. Ying Tian’s entire body was covered in scales, shaped like feathers, and his aura intensified. Bing Tian Ning knew the opponent was about to go all out. Before this, both sides had only been probing, testing each other’s capabilities. Everyone who entered this trial space was a genius, and no one dared to underestimate the other.
