The elders who had not yet left also showed a look of surprise.

"I never expected that our Heaven-Mending Pavilion would be so full of hidden talents. Such strength is top-notch among our peers."

"We old folks underestimated the young people of today. They're all terrifying. A corner of a golden age has already quietly begun."

"There is hope for the revitalization of our Heaven-Mending Pavilion!"

Zhuo Yun quickly averted his gaze, and hearing the surprised exclamations of the people around him, he realized that he had underestimated them.

However, he showed no sign of shame or anger, and his eyes were full of relief.

The fact that the Heaven-Mending Pavilion can produce another prodigy gives it more confidence, and it's more than happy about that.

"cough."

"Let's get going, lest we cause even more trouble."

Upon hearing this, the other elders immediately transformed into streaks of light and scattered in all directions.

Meanwhile, Li Dao flapped his golden wings and swiftly swept through the air, where he saw a battle unfolding in the jungle below.

The young men and women who were fiercely fighting below for the precious medicinal plant were also attracted by him.

"Who is that? Flying in the sky?!"

"Judging from his age, he's probably around our age. Could he also be here for the trials?"

"How is that possible! Aside from the brats and the little devil, there are also such geniuses. You all know how dangerous the high altitude of the array domain is!"

"I remember now, he's the man next to Senior Sister Xia Youyu. I didn't expect him to be so powerful!"

"As expected of someone nurtured in the Pure Land, their strength is truly formidable."

"I wonder if, after entering the second area and obtaining ten Sky-Mending Stones, I could become as powerful as him with focused training?"

Li Dao's appearance still attracted the attention of many people. The disciples who were searching for and vying for the Heaven-Mending Stone looked at him with either surprise or envy.

However, Li Dao paid no attention to these gazes and focused his attention on the second area.

Chapter 75 Breaking an Ancient Crocodile with Bare Hands

The mountains are shrouded in mist and clouds, and their curves resemble a coiled dragon.

As soon as Li Daogang stepped into the second area, he felt something strange beneath his feet.

puff--

Taking a step back, one sees a black stone tablet, shimmering with light and gushing with auspicious energy, emerging from the ground.

Landing before Li Dao, strands of golden silk quickly coalesced, intertwining to form a line of small characters:

Those who possess two Sky-Mending Stones will pass the test, while those who possess ten or more will be given priority in cultivation.

After he finished reading the inscription, the stone tablet vanished back into the earth.

Li Dao remained expressionless, seemingly unconcerned, though he knew he had already entered the second area.

The lotus patterns in his eyes shimmered with divine light, and his purple-gold wings flapped behind him, allowing him to hover in mid-air.

Looking into the distance, one could see a malevolent aura rising straight into the sky from the depths of the mountains.

"That's it!"

With each step, thunder lotuses bloomed beneath his feet, and his figure shifted continuously in the void.

Within the mountain range beneath their feet, a divine crocodile, its body covered in gleaming scales and its eyes gleaming green, watched Li Dao strolling through the void, its mouth snarling, revealing its sharp white teeth.

shhhhh--

His limbs stomped heavily on the ground, raising clouds of dust. With a little force, the earth began to crumble inch by inch.

His figure moved like lightning, speeding through the jungle, closely following behind Li Dao, his eyes filled with greed.

Rumbling--

Li Dao looked behind him with his divine sense and saw that smoke and dust were rising, ancient trees were collapsing, and the earth was shaking violently.

Amidst the smoke and dust, an ancient crocodile exuding a ferocious aura was following closely behind him, hurtling towards him at breakneck speed.

His eyes remained unmoved as he watched the ancient crocodile surpass him.

His body was as agile as a snake, and he quickly climbed up a high mountain in front of him. His limbs were like pillars, and he stepped on the mountain peak, directly reaching the same height as him.

"Are they here to block my way?"

"They're really courting death."

Li Dao did not change his direction of travel. He took a step and directly approached the lonely mountain.

When the ancient crocodile saw Li Dao coming, glistening saliva immediately dripped from the corner of its mouth.

Ow—

With a roar, the Seven Heavens behind him opened, and with a powerful leap, the lonely mountain beneath his feet was shattered.

Like a divine mountain thrown into mid-air, it rushed directly towards Li Dao.

Li Dao looked at the ancient crocodile that was attacking him, his eyes flashed with a divine light, and he slowly raised his right palm with one hand behind his back.

Runes appeared and disappeared around him, and strands of golden patterns slowly gathered in his palm.

The ancient crocodile pressed down like Mount Tai, opening its blood-red maw to tear at Li Dao, its eyes filled with barely concealed excitement.

Although they were shocked by Li Dao's ability to walk through the void, they did not sense any threat from him.

But deep within its bloodline, a tremor arose: if it could devour the person before it, its cultivation and even its bloodline would evolve.

As Li Dao's figure drew closer, the burning intensity in his eyes grew stronger.

Li Dao felt the dark shadow pressing down on him, and slowly opened his right hand to form a palm.

hum-

A clear, trembling sound rang out, and the world fell silent. A strange ripple emanated from Li Dao's right palm.

Time seemed to have been drawn away from the area around the ancient crocodile, freezing in mid-air.

On Li Dao's right hand, a gleaming, ancient-looking character for "town" was rippling with energy.

From the character '镇' (town), strands of gold thread drifted out, imprinted on the arm, and extended to various parts of the body.

I stared silently at the ancient crocodile in mid-air, as if I were looking at a dead object.

When Li Dao's gaze swept over it, the ancient crocodile's pupils trembled, and a chilling sense of death shot from its tailbone straight to the top of its head.

The burning passion in his eyes seemed to be doused with cold water, gradually turning into fear.

"Suppression"

Li Dao uttered these two words calmly, his eyes expressionless, and suddenly clasped his hands together.

puff--

A crisp popping sound rang out, like crushing a tomato with bare hands, and juice instantly splattered everywhere.

As Li Daoyou clenched his fist, the ancient crocodile that had been frozen in the void also appeared on the spot.

Crimson blood, reeking of blood, instantly splattered everywhere, staining the jungle beneath their feet red. The once tender green ancient trees were transformed into a crimson maple forest.

The ancient crocodile never knew how it died; it only vaguely saw an invisible hand grab it and then suddenly close its grip.

shhhhh--

Just like the ancient crocodile, the many ferocious beasts following behind Li Dao originally wanted to take advantage of the chaos, but upon seeing this brutal scene, they were instantly terrified and scattered.

The corpse of the ancient crocodile fell onto the mountainside beneath his feet. Li Dao slowly lowered his hand, and the surging aura emanating from his body gradually subsided.

The golden ancient character in his palm slowly faded away, and his gaze turned to the distance, as if piercing through layers of heaven and earth to see the precious herb shrouded in black mist and exuding malevolent energy.

And, the black tiger standing menacingly beside Baoyao.

"Awooo—"

Its entire body is covered in glossy black fur, as smooth as silk, and its enormous head hangs low.

He had just been awakened from his sleep by the earth-shattering noise and was filled with anger, but when he saw the ancient crocodile exploding in mid-air in the distance, his anger was extinguished before it could even rise.

With its head bowed, it appeared extremely respectful, showing no trace of the demeanor of a mountain lord or overlord, but rather like a docile cat.

The lotus-shaped Dao patterns in Li Dao's eyes slowly receded. He took a step forward, and countless thunder lotuses immediately unfolded in the void.

Flowers bloomed beneath his feet, and in the blink of an eye, he was no longer in the same spot.

Deep in the mountains, clouds and mist swirl, ancient trees twist and turn like dragons, strange rocks jut out, and fierce, ferocious beasts can be seen from time to time.

However, upon seeing the faint smell of blood emanating from Li Dao, he immediately turned and left without looking back.

Li Dao retracted his purple-gold wings and landed on a high ground. The vegetation was sparse, revealing the black soil, but it was filled with a strong baleful aura.

With a wave of his hand, Li Dao caused the pervasive black aura to immediately part to both sides, revealing a passage.

As the black evil energy was expelled, the stark white bone fragments hidden beneath it were revealed, all belonging to various ferocious beasts.

This shows how cruel the ferocious beast residing in the center of that malevolent aura was.

"The slaughter of so many ferocious beasts was merely to breed more malevolent energy. It seems that the Black Fiend Lotus is not far from becoming a semi-saint medicine."

"This ferocious beast does possess some intelligence."

Li Dao's eyes were deep and unfathomable as he looked at the half-buried skeleton in the black soil. He had no particular thoughts about it, but he was more interested in the creature inside.

Stepping onto the dark soil, stained by the malevolent energy, the soil looked soft but was harder than metal.

With each step, a crisp and deep 'tap-tap' sound could be heard.

Chapter 76 Instant Refinement

Before long, a huge underground cave suddenly appeared before them, pitch black, from which wisps of even purer malevolent energy surged forth.

Swah——

Without much thought, Li Dao stepped out and entered the underground cave.

The cave was quite spacious. On the black, crystalline cave walls, drops of pure, malevolent energy were condensed, dripping down and forming a small stream that flowed into a small pool in the very center of the cave.
