"Get the timer ready!"

After the Supreme God of Shepherd finished speaking, a God-Consecrating Being flew over, brought out an hourglass the size of a small mountain, suspended it in the void, and began the timer.

"Go in!"

The deities from each star sector focused their gazes and immediately gave instructions to the contestants beside them.

They had heard about the contents of this trial: in addition to survival, they also needed to plunder enough divine cores to advance to the top 100, otherwise they would be eliminated.

"Senior, shall we join forces?"

In the crowd, a young man quickly asked You Long.

His combat strength was average among the crowd, comparable to that of the Dragon Emperor and others. Having witnessed the previous Golden Star District preliminary selection, his first thought was to form alliances and unite.

In this way, their efficiency in surviving and hunting divine cores will be greatly improved, and they will have tasted the benefits of forming an alliance.

Everyone else's eyes lit up as they looked at Su Ping and Diaz.

If they were to form an alliance, these two would be incredibly powerful.

Diaz scoffed at the young man's words. He despised alliances the most. From a young age, he had deeply remembered the saying: "A beast walks alone, while ants swarm." He disdained to associate with ants.

Youlong shook his head and said, "The alliance depends on your fate. Once you enter there, you will be separated. The territory in that ruined land is vast. Perhaps you won't even see each other for five days. Moreover, your enemy is not other contestants, but the strangeness of the place itself..."

What's strange about it?

Everyone was startled, their scalps tingling slightly. What could it be that even the Heavenly Emperor called strange?

"Go in and do your best to hunt for the divine core, or survive," Youlong said.

Everyone was a little uneasy when they heard him say that, but since things had come to this point, they could only bite the bullet and face the challenge head-on.

"Junior brothers, there are walking divine corpses in this Ruins of the Abandoned Gods. The divine cores are inside their bodies. Be careful when hunting them. Remember to attack the marks on the foreheads of the divine corpses. Only by destroying the marks can you destroy them," Youlong transmitted to Su Ping and Diaz.

Both of them were taken aback, but then they understood and nodded.

"Let's have another competition this time!"

Diaz turned to look at Su Ping, his eyes revealing a fighting spirit.

When he climbed Tiandao Mountain earlier, he did not directly fight Su Ping. He did not think he was much inferior to Su Ping, after all, Su Ping was a top-level divine body. He really couldn't understand how he could be so bad.

Upon hearing this, Su Ping, still unconvinced, laughed and said, "Ten differences?"

"Dream on!"

Seeing Su Ping reopen old wounds, Diaz was furious. He had been caught off guard by Su Ping's feigned weakness and given Su Ping the opportunity to slap him in the face.

He wouldn't do that now.

"Hmph, let's see who hunts the most then," Diaz sneered.

Su Ping smiled slightly but did not respond.

Youlong looked at the two "lovable rivals" with a smile and did not stop them. It was a good thing that they had a competitive spirit, and they would also help each other and compete for the title of god.

Soon, contestants from various star regions began to enter that vortex one after another.

It looked like a swarm of locusts.

Su Ping and Diaz entered the vortex one after the other.

As his gaze shifted, a rich aura of divine power rushed towards him. After a moment, Su Ping saw the scene slowly emerging before him: a wasteland.

The land was scorched black, cracked and scarred, with huge craters, like the claw marks of some giant beast.

Su Ping looked around and saw a dilapidated village in the distance, so he immediately flew over.

"The air here is filled with divine power; it truly is a divine realm."

"Unfortunately, the divine power is somewhat diluted, and it's mixed with some decaying death energy. This place must have been ravaged by war. What kind of battle did they fight?"

Su Ping flew into the air and observed along the way, but did not see any creatures nearby.

Soon, he saw the dilapidated village, where the buildings had been destroyed and only rubble remained, with a few broken houses teetering on the verge of collapse.

"My senses are compressed, and the gravity here is different from the outside world. It feels somewhat familiar." Su Ping sensed his physical condition and looked ahead, seeing the outline of a city faintly visible in front of the village.

Fortunately, his physical vision was unaffected, allowing him to see extremely far.

Especially when he channeled the Golden Crow Divine Power into his eyes, his vision increased several times over, like a thousand times the eyes of an eagle, enabling him to capture fine dust ten miles away and blurry outlines dozens of miles away.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Su Ping sensed a dangerous premonition. His heart skipped a beat, and he looked in a certain direction.

Beside a dry well in the dilapidated village, a figure was standing.

The figure, dressed in tattered clothes, stood with his back to him, seemingly lost in thought by the dry well.

But Su Ping noticed that the body exposed from his tattered clothes had a purplish-black complexion, as if he had been poisoned, and his skin was wrinkled and unlike that of a normal person.

Suddenly, the figure seemed to sense something and turned to look over.

The moment their eyes met, Su Ping's pupils contracted.

The figure's face was ulcerated, and its chest was split open with a horrific laceration that tore apart its ribs and ribcage, leaving its internal organs shriveled.

With such severe injuries, a normal person would undoubtedly die.

Suddenly, Su Ping remembered the walking divine corpse that Senior Brother Youlong had reminded him of.

Whoosh!

As Su Ping was startled, the figure suddenly flashed, and when it reappeared, it was already in front of Su Ping, roaring as it pounced on him with savage and primal movements.

Su Ping's expression changed slightly. He couldn't sense any aura from the other party at all, so he hurriedly threw a punch.

Bang!

The golden divine fist struck the ruptured chest of the divine corpse as if it were hitting a rock. The opponent ignored it and did not dodge at all.

The force of the punch penetrated through, turning the air behind it into a liquid state.

But despite such a fierce punch, the divine corpse seemed unaffected, still lunging forward and grabbing Su Ping's arm, its fingernails turning purple and sharp like blades.

Su Ping dared not be scratched, and Golden Crow Divine Fire quickly appeared on his arm. Terrifyingly high temperature appeared, and the surface of the divine corpse immediately burst into flames. The flames of the Golden Crow are known as the inextinguishable fire, also called the eternal divine fire, which can continue to burn indefinitely.

To Su Ping's horror, the divine corpse, engulfed in divine fire, was still able to attack, seemingly without feeling pain.

Remembering what Senior Brother Youlong said, Su Ping immediately looked at his forehead, where, under the burning of the divine fire, there was indeed something that looked like light, flashing back and forth.

It's a divine seal!

Su Ping suddenly condensed the rules and gathered them at his fingertips, then thrust them out with a fierce strike.

The divine corpse moved extremely fast, but its actions lacked any skill. As Su Ping dodged, his fingertips pierced through the divine seal.

With a crack, something seemed to shatter. The divine seal flashed, then suddenly burst out with intense light and broke apart.

The divine corpse immediately stopped moving, then slowly slumped down and fell to the ground.

With a thud, he fell to the ground of the village, the divine fire on his body spreading and burning the rocks on the ground into lava.

Su Ping waved his hand, absorbing the divine fire, and then looked at the charred corpse with some surprise.

This body is obviously dead, but the corpse can still move. Is this what Senior Brother Youlong was talking about?

Suddenly, Su Ping noticed a dense aura of divine power leaking from the corpse's chest. With a thought, he flipped it open, unleashing sword energy from his fingertips, and sliced ​​open the chest, revealing a dazzling golden object—the divine core, which was also the body's heart.

"So, to advance to the top 100 in this trial, we have to fight creatures like this?"

Su Ping's expression turned serious.

Although dealing with this divine corpse was relatively easy, it was too strange. It appeared silently and could not be detected. Moreover, it fought recklessly. Once you got entangled with it, it would be difficult to escape.

Picking up the divine core, Su Ping studied it for a moment and tried to cut it open, but the divine core was quite hard, and forcibly cutting it open would only damage it.

Su Ping put it away, then examined the corpse again. Suddenly, an idea struck him. He took a small amount of blood from the body, and also removed some of its teeth and nails, intending to find a living creature later to test whether these things contained any toxins.

After doing all this, Su Ping left the village and flew ahead.

Throughout the journey, he remained vigilant about his surroundings. These divine corpses were difficult to detect, and he could only rely on his naked eyes to be alert. If one of them noticed him and suddenly flashed over, it would be quite a surprise.

Not long after, Su Ping suddenly saw a giant beast slowly moving forward outside the village.

This giant beast was over 30 meters tall, about the height of an eight or nine-story building, and its body was covered in wounds, with many teeth marks from being gnawed, and some of the torn skin had long since dried.

Suddenly, the giant beast stopped, and in the next moment, its body flashed and tore through the void and disappeared.

Su Ping was startled and quickly became alert to his surroundings.

But after a few seconds, no giant beast appeared beside him. Suddenly, a loud explosion rang out in the distance.

Su Ping looked toward the source of the sound and saw a large amount of dust rising up. He felt a chill in his heart, realizing that there must be a contestant there who had been sensed by the giant beast.

This behemoth, like the divine corpse, is also a type of ghostly corpse.

Su Ping glanced at the battle site, thought for a moment, and then decided not to go over.

Since this trial is mainly about survival and hunting, there's no need to deal with other geniuses, and he's too lazy to bother with them.

Although kicking out the other geniuses would reduce the number of people and make it into the top 100 even if they just lay around doing nothing, this method was a bit cruel. Su Ping still wanted to give these hard-working geniuses some trial experiences.

Su Ping turned around and went to the other side.

Before long, he arrived above a city.

The city was in ruins; the outer walls had cracked, as if some enormous thing had broken in and created a huge breach.

Su Ping glanced around and saw many figures standing on the streets of the city, motionless like wooden stakes, which looked somewhat eerie.

He felt a chill run down his spine, immediately slowed down, reduced his speed, and quietly approached.

This city is obviously very dangerous, but it is also a good place to hunt for divine cores.

Su Ping flew close to the ground, and when he arrived outside the city wall, he saw seven or eight figures standing on it. They were wearing tattered armor, and most of them were seriously injured. Some had half of their faces torn off, some had half of their necks broken, and their cervical vertebrae and hips were exposed. Others had half of their arms left and holes in their chests.

If left outside, these things would be dead beyond dead.

Su Ping lay prone at a distance, observing for several minutes, when suddenly he picked up a stone from the ground and hurled it toward the other side of the city wall.

Bang.

The stone shattered against the wall, making a sound.

The standing figures seemed to sense something and swayed slightly, but quickly returned to calm as the sound faded away.

"It seems that we can't attract and gather them together using sound alone, unless we rely on sound perception. Of course, if we relied solely on sound, it would definitely rain here, and if it rained, these ghouls would probably be busy to death..."

Thinking of that scene, Su Ping shook his head and chuckled.

"If we just rush over like this, the city's divine corpses will probably all pounce on us as soon as the battle begins, and they'll pounce in an instant. That's a bit scary."

Su Ping's eyes flashed. Dealing with the divine corpse was not difficult, but he couldn't handle a swarm of it.

Suddenly, he thought of the little skeleton.

Whoosh!

The little skeleton was immediately summoned.

It raised its little skull head and looked at Su Ping with a puzzled expression.

Su Ping immediately sent a telepathic message to it, instructing it to go and lure the few monstrous corpses over.

They're all corpses, and the little skeleton is a real "dried-up corpse." I wonder if these grotesque corpses will even notice it.

After processing Su Ping's thoughts, the little skeleton slowly understood his meaning. It turned its head, almost falling off its neck, and looked at the grotesque corpse on the city wall.

The next moment, its figure flickered and appeared thousands of meters away, and then flashed continuously.

Soon, ten miles away, several thousand meters from the city wall, the little skeleton slowly released a trace of its aura.

At this moment, the grotesque corpses on the city wall suddenly stirred, turning their heads to look over. The next moment, with a few whooshing sounds, several grotesque corpses disappeared at the same time, appearing directly next to the little skeleton and pouncing on it.

The little skeleton was clearly frightened, its bones trembling. The next moment, it vanished in an instant and ran towards Su Ping.

Several grotesque corpses followed the little skeleton's figure, flashing by each time it appeared.

When the distance was roughly equal, Su Ping, who was hiding in the deep sky, suddenly made his move, unleashing his strongest power to end the battle quickly and prevent the fighting from leaking out and attracting more monster corpses.

Bang!

Su Ping directly condensed a sword aura of rules and stabbed it towards the brow of a monstrous corpse.

But the grotesque corpse seemed to sense something. It suddenly looked up, its eyes, with only the whites of its eyes, staring at Su Ping. It abruptly raised its hand, scattering the sword energy, and then unleashed an extremely powerful aura, its claws sweeping across.

The void shattered, and its arm directly destroyed the third space, instantly arriving in front of Su Ping.

Su Ping was somewhat shocked. This strange corpse was extremely terrifying. Its powerful divine strength could be at the level of a Star Lord!

To Su Ping's relief, the monstrous corpse did not unleash its power of faith; otherwise, it would have directly attacked him at a lower dimension, leaving him no chance to defend himself and only able to rely on the purple bracelet given to him by his master to save his life.

"This thing has no mind, attacks savagely, has no secret techniques, it merely possesses the power of a Star Lord, and is a Star Lord-level god at that, its power is ten times that of a Star Lord who cultivates Star Power!"

Su Ping's eyes suddenly blazed with fighting spirit. He wondered if he could suppress a Star Lord like this with his current strength.

Whoosh!

The figure of the Purgatory Candle Dragon Beast suddenly appeared and merged directly with Su Ping. Then, Su Ping had the little skeleton restrain the other few strange corpses while he directly attacked the Star Lord realm beast.
