Douluo Continent: Starting from Killing Arou with a Single Sword.

"Welcome to the second level—the Valley of Fallen Gods! Defeat your opponent!"

After the mysterious voice finished its prompting, Ning Mumu felt a wave of dizziness. When she came to her senses, she found herself standing in an open space. Looking around, she saw a desolate sandy area, with the wind whipping up yellow sand that obscured her vision.

"Are there living things in this kind of place?" Ning Mumu took out a clean gauze scarf to cover her cheeks, and then changed into a one-piece magic robe to prevent her skin from being exposed, so that she could no longer feel that burning and dryness.

Finding no opponent in her current position, Ning Mumu moved forward relying on her instincts. She had a nagging feeling that she might suffer a serious injury this time.

"Roar roar roar—"

Yellow sand filled the sky, and dozens of meters away came the roar of a wild beast, its roars and the sounds of its running causing the earth to tremble. Ning Mumu scanned the area with her divine sense and saw seven or eight large beasts charging towards her. No, not just wild beasts, but ferocious beasts!

Ning Mumu suddenly recalled that there were records in ancient books about the Valley of Fallen Gods. Legend has it that this place was created by a fallen god who betrayed the human race, joined the demon race, and caused a great war between the two races.

Later, the fallen gods perished, and their countless bones became the foundation of the Valley of the Fallen Gods, as well as the breeding ground for various ferocious beasts. The valley's environment is harsh, making it difficult for any creature other than the beasts to survive. Because of this, the Valley of the Fallen Gods became the best choice for exiling criminals. Almost none of the sinners thrown into the Valley of the Fallen Gods survived.

Of course, this is just a legend. In ancient times, tens of thousands of years ago, the world of cultivation was far removed from reality. Places like the Valley of Fallen Gods only existed in ancient books; no one had ever seen them.

"Could it really be the Valley of Fallen Gods!" Ning Mumu's lips twitched. She really didn't want to face a group of ferocious beasts; she would die.

In the blink of an eye, Ning Mumu was already face to face with the ferocious beast.

The shortest of the ferocious beasts opposite was fifteen meters tall, and the tallest was over twenty meters tall. Ning Mumu looked like an ant in front of them, extremely small.

Remembering the damned requirements for clearing the level, Ning Mumu gritted her teeth and launched the attack first.

The ferocious beasts opposite were not idle either, pounding their chests before swarming forward. Ning Mumu, disregarding everything else, threw out all sorts of talismans and magical artifacts without restraint. The beasts, enraged by the blows, ignored their own injuries and slapped Ning Mumu with such force they seemed ready to kill her.

"Smoke bomb!"

Ning Mumu quickly threw something out, then used the momentum to jump out of the smoke ring.

Thanks to the poison added by her third senior sister when she made it, these ferocious beasts can now be trapped for more than ten seconds. Ning Mumu took the opportunity to gather her strength and try to defeat these beasts in one blow.

The requirement to pass the level was to defeat the opponent, not to kill them. Ning Mumu knew she didn't have that much strength, so she took a shortcut on the requirement.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Source—" Ning Mumu rose into the air, and the Seven Kill Sword revealed a phantom image that was more than ten meters long, looking extremely terrifying.

"Try the enhanced version of Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Origin!" Ning Mumu shouted, and her phantom image slashed at the ferocious beast that had just regained its senses.

"Ahhh—"

"Roar—"

……

The ferocious beasts' mournful cries pierced the air. Ning Mumu breathed a sigh of relief and shouted to the sky, "Does this count as a defeat?"

No one answered, but Ning Mumu smiled. Wasn't tacit agreement just ignoring it? This indirectly proved her success; she was truly too clever!

After praising herself, Ning Mumu continued walking forward. As she expected, the wounded and fallen beasts did not chase after her.

"Then we can take advantage of that loophole next time!"

"Which level are we at?" Gu Yuena propped herself up, still looking somewhat weak.

Di Tian stepped forward and respectfully said, "This is the second test."

"It's only been less than an hour," Gu Yuena exclaimed. "It took me three days to complete the first level."

Di Tian didn't reply; it took him ten days to complete the first level. Those chosen by Heaven are truly different; they cleared the level far too quickly.

Gu Yuena clearly shared this thought. She closed her eyes and said softly, "The sooner the better."

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Ning Mumu had no idea that her progress was being watched by others, and at this moment she encountered a problem.

"Sister, sister, look at me!" A four- or five-year-old child hurriedly followed Ning Mumu, crying out, "Sister, don't leave me!"

The child was dressed in tattered clothes, his body covered in wounds, and he wasn't even wearing shoes. Bloodstains ran along the way, making him look extremely pitiful.

Ning Mumu walked ahead of the child, her eyes practically rolling to the sky. This brat had inexplicably appeared in front of her half an hour ago.

After the child cried for half a day, Ning Mumu roughly understood what had happened.

The child was framed, his meridians severed, and he was thrown into the Valley of Fallen Gods. Orphaned and helpless, the child wanted to follow Ning Mumu, the only human remaining. Ning Mumu naturally disagreed. Why should she bring along a boss? Was she courting death?

To everyone's surprise, the child became even more determined and followed Ning Mumu for half an hour, like a piece of chewing gum that couldn't be shaken off.
