From Five Animal Exercises to being hailed as a saint and ancestor

In the center of the circular valley, the breakthrough of the Star Skeleton Qilin has reached its most critical moment!

It radiated countless dazzling silver-white starlight, illuminating the entire dark valley as if it were daytime!

The immense stellar energy surged into its body like rivers flowing into the sea.

Above its head, a fist-sized, ethereal phantom of a "Yuan Dan" was slowly coalescing, emanating a heart-palpitating energy fluctuation!

Although the phantom was not completely solidified, the pressure it emitted had already surpassed the scope of the Spirit Sea Realm.

It carries a hint of the unique charm of the Yuan Dan realm, as if it can control a world!

Above the dark purple sky, the wind and clouds changed color, and lightning seemed to be gathering, as if responding to this act of defying the heavens!

The Star Skeleton Qilin roared to the sky, its voice shaking the surrounding wilderness, filled with indomitable spirit and domineering power!

The galactic energy within its body surged to its limit, frantically impacting the invisible barrier, attempting to completely solidify and solidify the illusory image of the Yuan Dan!

Under the concealed light screen, Yao Mengkang and the other two were so captivated that they almost felt suffocated.

The scene of such a breakthrough was truly magnificent and awe-inspiring!

However, at the very last moment before the illusory image of the Yuan Dan was about to completely solidify—

"Buzz!!"

A discordant sound, like a snapping string, emanated from the Star Skeleton Qilin's body!

The phantom image of the Yuan Dan above its head suddenly trembled violently, and the originally stable flow of galactic energy instantly became violent and chaotic!

Grotesque cracks appeared on the silvery-white crystalline body, and dazzling starlight, like an out-of-control torrent, gushed out wildly from the cracks!

"puff--"

Like a punctured balloon, the illusory image of the Yuan Dan, which contained all its essence and spirit, collapsed with a mournful cry of resentment!

It transformed into a chaotic torrent of stars that lashed out at him!

The Star Skeleton Qilin let out a mournful cry filled with pain, resentment, and despair.

Its massive body crashed heavily to the ground like a mountain of gold or a pillar of jade being overturned!

The starlight surrounding him dimmed at a visible speed.

The overwhelming aura that dominated the entire venue receded like the tide, replaced by a deathly silence on the verge of death!

It failed!

A brief silence.

The next moment, the entire circular valley was as if it had been hit by a thunderbolt, and it was completely in an uproar!

"Roar—!" "Awoo—!" "Hiss—!"

All the Star Beasts that had been waiting quietly suddenly had their eyes flash with greedy and frenzied light!

Long-suppressed desires and wildness were ignited at this moment!

The few overlords at the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm who were closest to the enemy made the first move!

The Starbone Dragon Lizard roared, its thick tail whipping out like a steel whip, directly striking the Star Shadow Leopard that was trying to approach!

The Star Shadow Leopard moved with lightning speed, narrowly dodging the attack, and instead unleashed a dark shadow blade that slashed towards the dragon lizard's eyes!

With a flap of its wings, the Starry Thunder Eagle in the sky unleashed countless bolts of silver lightning like a torrential downpour.

The indiscriminate bombardment struck the valley floor, forcing back the Starbone Bear that wanted to take the opportunity to devour the Qilin's essence!

The raging bear roared repeatedly, stood upright, and slammed out its massive paws, shattering the lightning and clashing with the Thunder Eagle from a distance!

The giant star python that had been hovering there suddenly darted out like a ghost, its long tail whipping out the nearest eighth-level Star Armor Insect.

The enormous snake mouth opened wide, with a suction force that devoured everything, and bit down first on the fallen Star Skeleton Qilin!

Chaos! Utter chaos!

The five overlords at the ninth level of the realm instantly clashed in a chaotic battle to seize the most precious "legacy"!

Each collision between them unleashed a devastating energy shock, causing large sections of the rock walls at the edge of the valley to collapse!

Meanwhile, those Star Beasts at the eighth level of the realm, like sharks that have smelled blood, swam around the edge of the battlefield, sometimes fighting each other, and sometimes trying to break through the blockade of the ninth level overlord and rush towards the "feast" in the center!

The entire circular valley instantly transformed into the most brutal and bloody battlefield!

The violent collision of stellar energy produced a deafening roar, howls, the cracking of bones, and the explosions of energy!

The three people hidden behind the light screen were shocked by the sudden change and the terrifying aftershocks of the battle that was so close at hand that their blood was churning and their faces turned pale.

Li Han let out a muffled groan, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, as the pressure to maintain the concealment barrier increased sharply!

"An opportunity! A tremendous opportunity!" Li Han's eyes gleamed with extreme excitement and greed as he stared intently at the Star Skeleton Qilin in the center of the battlefield, which was being fought over by various factions and whose aura was constantly weakening.

"While they're locked in battle, we'll have a chance to rush in and seize a portion of the primordial star power of a ninth-level peak cultivator! Even just a trace would be enough to transform us!"

"Bullshit!" Zhou Tiancan's face turned pale. He grabbed Li Han's arm and growled.

"Are you fucking insane! Look at this scene! Even a ninth-level realm overlord is fighting desperately!"

"If we go in, even a small aftershock could crush us into dust!"

"Trying to fish in troubled waters? That's suicide! Run! Run while they're distracted!"

"Fortune favors the bold! If you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance like it in your life!"

Li Han retorted unwillingly, his eyes turning red.

"You still have to be alive to enjoy it! What's the use of a chance if you're dead!" Zhou Tiancan retorted.

The two remained deadlocked, both turning their gazes to Yao Mengkang, who had remained silent throughout.

Yao Mengkang's gaze swept over the chaotic battlefield, where energy raged.

She glanced again at Li Han's face, twisted with greed, and at Zhou Tiancan's anxious eyes.

Finally, it landed in his trembling hand, which was tightly gripping the Cloud-Splitting Blade.

His heart was pounding; the essence of a ninth-level peak Star Beast held a fatal attraction for him as well.

Yao Mengkang's mind raced. Just as Zhou Tiancan had said, even a slight aftershock could kill him.

Reason ultimately prevailed over greed.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the pounding in his heart, and uttered two words in a hoarse but incredibly clear voice:

"run!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Tiancan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately grabbed Li Han, who was still somewhat unwilling: "Did you hear that! Senior Brother Yao said to run!"

A fierce struggle flashed across Li Han's face, but he looked at Yao Mengkang's unquestionable eyes.

Sensing the increasingly violent energy storm surrounding them, threatening to engulf them at any moment, they finally stomped their feet hard and gritted their teeth, saying, "Let's go!"

Without further hesitation, the three of them took advantage of the chaos of the battlefield as cover, with Li Han maintaining the concealment barrier with all his might, and fled frantically out of the valley like startled rabbits, following the direction they had come from!

They dared not linger for a moment, pushing their speed to the limit, hoping to get away from this place of trouble as quickly as possible.

However, just before they were about to break through the edge of the circular valley and step into a relatively safe area—

"laugh!"

A chaotic energy shockwave swept right across the area where they were hiding!

Li Han's already near-limit concealment barrier flashed violently. Although it barely didn't shatter, a wisp of the three people's aura was inevitably leaked out!

This faint aura was immediately detected by a Spirit Sea Realm Level 5 Star Skeleton Saber-toothed Tiger that was fighting with its own kind nearby!

This saber-toothed tiger had just been injured by a Star Beast at the sixth level of the realm, and was seething with anger with nowhere to vent it.

Sensing the sudden appearance of these three weak yet unfamiliar auras, its scarlet pupils instantly locked onto the three fleeing individuals!

"roar!"

It abandoned its fight with its own kind, let out a violent roar, shattered the ground with its four hooves, and transformed into a silver lightning bolt, chasing wildly in the direction the three had fled!

Those sharp, sword-like fangs gleamed with a deadly cold light under the starlight!

"Oh no! We've been targeted!" Li Han's expression changed drastically.

Yao Mengkang and Zhou Tiancan also felt the terrifying aura rapidly approaching from behind, and their hearts sank.

"Run! Don't look back!" Yao Mengkang shouted, and the three of them pushed their speed to the limit, fleeing for their lives.

Feeling the approaching stench and killing intent behind him, Zhou Tiancan ran wildly, letting out a low, unwilling roar:

"Damn it! If there weren't so many beasts behind me, and I wasn't afraid of being surrounded, I would have turned around and fought this level five beast!"

Yao Mengkang's eyes were cold. He didn't speak, but simply pushed his movement technique to its absolute limit.

Wasn't he thinking the same thing? With their current strength, even if the three of them couldn't kill this Star Beast at the fifth level of the Spirit Sea Realm, they would definitely be able to protect themselves.

But at this moment, they dared not stop, much less make a commotion, otherwise, if they were noticed by more Star Beasts on the battlefield, they would truly be doomed!

Now, they can only run! Run with all their might! In this perilous core area of ​​the secret realm, a desperate race against time unfolds!

The Starbuck Saber-toothed Tiger behind them, like a death knell, relentlessly pursued them. Its violent roar, like a death warrant, constantly assaulted the minds of the three.
