Little Hawk King woke up with an angry face.

He was actually affected by the enemy’s bloody aura, having entered an illusionary realm.

If it wasn’t for the Guardian’s cold snort, he might have been completely engulfed, ultimately ending in defeat!

“Kill!”

Little Hawk King, worried about falling into the illusion again, quickly made his move. The speed of his Sky Hawk Holy Body was unmatched in the world. With a flap of his wings, he turned into an Aurora, and a golden claw reached out to grab. His overwhelming might burst open three minute rifts in space.

“Bang!”

At that moment, although Bao Xiong could not track Little Hawk King’s figure, his body instinctively dodged and he swung his hammer.

“Crack!”

He was a step too slow. Little Hawk King’s claw grabbed his arm, slicing off a piece of flesh, leaving three bloody scratch marks.

However, it was clear from this encounter that Bao Xiong’s defenses were unparalleled. The blow that had instantly killed Mo Youwei and the first guard fell onto Bao Xiong, but it only left a scratch. Điscover new chapters at novelhall.com!”

Bao Xiong, unwilling to show weakness, retaliated immediately after being injured. The left side of his body lunged forward, his left hand, transformed from open to fist, aiming at the momentarily paused Little Hawk King after his attack.

“Bang!”

This punch, contrary to everyone’s expectations, landed on Little Hawk King, who was somewhat inexperienced in battle.

“Boom!”

A thunderous impact sound echoed, and Little Hawk King was instantly sent flying.

At this moment, Bao Xiong’s right hand moved. The entire hammer, like a hidden weapon, was thrown in the direction Little Hawk King was sent flying.

At the same time, he stomped his foot with force.

“Boom!”

The ground cracked instantaneously, and Bao Xiong disappeared from the spot, chasing after Little Hawk King.

The hammer flew in the front, almost blocking Bao Xiong’s figure, or it could be said that Bao Xiong intentionally hid behind the hammer, shielding himself.

During the battle, both sides moved rapidly. Little Hawk King reacted in mid-air and lashed out again, attempting to divert the hammer.

However, he fell into the trap!

Bao Xiong had been waiting for him to make a move, knowing that when a person attacks, there is a slight mental stiffness – it may be very minute, but it was enough.

Suddenly, Bao Xiong’s speed increased yet again, reaching Little Hawk King’s side in an instant.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Like how a tornado sweeps up everything in its path, his fists fell like a rainstorm, continuously landing on Little Hawk King.

The impact sent his avian body uncontrollably skyward.

In an instant, Little Hawk King was attacked hundreds of times, each punch landing squarely on his body.

“Well done, Bao Xiong!”

At this moment, many spectators were overjoyed, cheering for Bao Xiong.

Under normal circumstances, any challenger would be blessed and supported by the masses.

But now, for the first time, the Guardian was being collectively cheered for. There’s no denying it, Little Hawk King had been too arrogant!

However, although Bao Xiong’s continuous attacks seemed satisfying, they weren’t actually powerful enough to harm Little Hawk King.

After all, he has the Sky Hawk Holy Body, which has an incredible level of physical strength and isn’t something an ordinary attack can breach.

Bao Xiong noticed this and quickly pulled back the hammer after landing a punch, preparing his finishing move.

But he was too careless.

Just a moment ago, Little Hawk King’s body was out of control, rigid from Bao Xiong’s attack, leaving him unable to react.

But now, the time it took for Bao Xiong to summon his hammer was enough for Little Hawk King to escape.

“Whoosh!”

With a flap of his golden wings, Little Hawk King instantaneously disappeared. His divine brilliance followed him, slashing out a beautiful curve, dazzling to the eye.

“I want you dead!”

At this moment, Little Hawk King’s face was full of fury.

A being that he regarded as a mere ant, a lowly creature, had actually hit him, making him feel like a punching bag, pummeled hundreds of times in a row.

If it weren’t for the enemy’s relaxation, giving him a chance, he might have been beaten further.

“Boom!”

At that moment, a gigantic Five-Colored Bird manifested out of thin air, possessing three heads and six tails. It resembled an archaic beast, exuding a terrifying aura.

“An apparition!”

“He’s actually summoned an apparition!”

Everyone present was stunned, but after realizing it was Little Hawk King who had done so, they all understood.

Given his temperament, he doesn’t care about these things!

“Bao Xiong is in danger!”

“There’s a world of difference between possessing an apparition and not possessing one!”

“Boom!”

Just as the apparition appeared, Bao Xiong’s actions faltered as if he was being suppressed by an incredibly terrifying entity.

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

“Kill!”

Bao Xiong roared three times in succession, bursting with bloodlust that ran rampant.

But, it was futile!

This was an anomaly!

Usually, his murderous aura, enough to kill whoever dared stand in his way, lost its effect at this very moment.

“Die for me!!”

“Screech!”

At this moment, not only did the Little Hawk King take action, the Five-Colored Bird behind him became enraged as it sensed its master’s call.

“No!”

Some in the crowd couldn’t bear to watch this scene, covering their eyes in fear that Bao Xiong would die on the spot, his corpse bathed in blood after just five steps.

“Kill!”

In the last moments, Bao Xiong gnashed his teeth so hard they shattered, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Only then did he manage to break free from this overwhelming suppression.

He didn’t run. At this moment, he looked hideously angry, as if he was back on the battlefield. Holding a gigantic hammer in his hands, he charged towards the much larger Five-Colored Bird.

“Boom!”

“Bang!”

“Splurt!”

A streak of golden light flashed by. Following that, Bao Xiong’s silhouette, like a kite with its string cut, was flung towards the back with the speed of a shooting star.

“Bao Xiong!”

The second gatekeeper instantly took flight, trying to catch him.

“Bang!”

But the force was too strong, and both of them were sent tumbling into the distance.

“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!”

At this moment, the nearby warriors could no longer bear it. They flew up, constantly using their strength, and it took four or five of them to barely catch the two of them.

“Bao Xiong!”

All the soldiers gathered around Bao Xiong, their eyes filled with rage as they looked at him, filled with grief.

Upon examination, they found that Bao Xiong’s meridians were severed, his heart had stopped beating, and he was at the brink of death.

Bao Xiong had already fainted, but hearing his comrade’s call, he managed to open his eyes in a daze, squinting at them. His lips moved weakly, as if he wanted to say something.

The warriors instantly leaned closer to listen carefully.

Bao Xiong managed to say with difficulty: “I...I have...have... disgraced... the commander...”

“You didn’t disgrace anyone, you didn’t!!”

The nearby warriors were all on the verge of tears, utterly heartbroken.

“Boom!”

At this moment, an overwhelming aura was transmitted from the distance. This aura was extremely terrifying, so as soon as it appeared, it dispersed all the dark clouds in the sky.

At the same time, the entire sky was dyed red with blood.

A figure appeared in the distance and rapidly approached the scene.

Seeing this figure, the warriors shouted subconsciously: “Commander!”

The man standing before them, with an overwhelming aura and an evil presence that seemed almost tangible, was the commander that Bao Xiong had mentioned.

Turns out, someone felt indignant and transmitted the scene of the Little Hawk King’s guide participating in the battle. This drew the commander over.

“Ying Xiu, you’re courting death!”

The moment the commander landed, he moved instantly. His body transformed into an afterimage as he shot towards the smiling Little Hawk King guide at the edge of the ring.

“What are you doing?!”

Ying Xiu was taken aback and frantically flapped his wings in an attempt to escape.

“Trying to run?!”

“Boom!”

The space instantly split open at this moment. The commander, who had unexpectedly appeared beside Ying Xiu, grabbed him.

“Rip!”

With a loud noise, one of Ying Xiu’s wings was torn off his back.

“Bang!”

With a kick, Ying Xiu was sent flying like a cannonball in one direction. At this moment, it seemed as if he existed in two dimensions at the same time, appearing semi-transparent and solid in turns.

“Show mercy!”

Just then, several figures appeared and stopped the commander.

Those who arrived were the God Spirit Level powerhouses stationed near the temple. These few were members of the same corporate alliance as the Ying family.

“Hmph!”

After giving the stationed personnel a glance, the commander scoffed and demanded, “Are you guys blind when a god spirit interferes in the challenge?!”

The men, fawning and subservient, didn’t dare say another word.

Meanwhile, the commander didn’t seem to harbor any intention of killing Ying Xiu. Seeing the others appear, he didn’t continue his assault.

As for Ying Xiu, he seemed to have been frightened. The moment he regained control of his body, he instantly tore through the void, diving in and disappearing without a trace.

Watching his distant cousin hastily fleeing, Little Hawk King was dumbfounded.

This was his second Dao Protector!

The first one was the Blue Robed Eagle King, who was severely wounded during the last open-source conference and had gone into closed-door healing.

This one, now, was battered and chased away by the commander.

The commander glanced coldly at Little Hawk King, but said nothing. He scorned the bullying of the weak by the mighty.

Looking at the barely breathing Bao Xiong on the ground, he made a casual wave and took it into his own Divine Kingdom.

He slowly said to the other soldiers, “I will save Bao Xiong, you broke military rules, so accept a hundred lashes!”

Hearing this, the soldiers were not only not discouraged, but, on the contrary, overjoyed.

Because the commander had taken action, Bao Xiong did not have to die!

Although they had violated military discipline and received a hundred lashes, they admitted their guilt!

This hundred lashings were not simple, they were done with the God-whipping Stick, which specifically whipped the soul, and could only be endured by those with strong will.

Ordinary people might have their souls scattered after a hundred lashes, but they were determined and had a solid soul. They could endure a hundred lashes with no more than injuries.

Then, the commander quickly tore through the space and left.

Seeing him go, Little Hawk King finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, the arrogance on his face returned.

He glanced at the crowd below with a sneer and casually said, “A bunch of wastes!”

Then, he planned to fly towards the entrance of the temple.

Just then, a voice came, “Who are you calling waste?!”

This was an old cliché that Little Hawk King clearly knew. His steps stopped once again, and his eyes filled with sharp killing intent as he stared into the crowd.

In the crowd, Du Gang slowly separated the people blocking his way and walked toward the stage.

“It’s...”

“Du Gang!”

At this moment, the people under the stage all recognized him.

“He’s really back?!”

“My God, didn’t he run home?!”

Looking at the slowly approaching figure of Du Gang, Little Hawk King showed a cruel smile on his face.

“I didn’t expect you to dare to challenge me!”

Du Gang sneered, “If it wasn’t for your Ying family’s God Spirit’s intervention, you would have lost to Bao Xiong. What qualifications do you have to be arrogant here?”

“Boom!”

Aroubd Little Hawk King, a violent aura exploded.

He got bloodthirsty and angrily said, “You want to die, I’ll make it happen!”

“As an Ancient God, you’ve been hiding at home, daring to come back. In that case, I’m going to exterminate your Ancient God clan today!”

He was very murderous now, his eyes were full of killing intent, and he was extremely dangerous at this moment!

Yet Du Gang was indifferent, unaffected, and laughed, “I’ve never tasted eagle meat in my life. Looks like today might be the day!”

“Seeking death!”

Thinking about dozens of special physiques inside the temple excited him.

In his eyes, they were not people, but walking Saint Crystals!

“Roar!”

As his mind was wandering, a loud beastly roar came from a distance, forcing him to focus and scan his surroundings.

Dark clouds rolled overhead, the earth was dark without light, day and night were indistinguishable. Tall dense trees and their abundant branches swayed in the wind, and in the darkness, they looked like moving corpses that filled one’s heart with fear.

The land was filled with a dark red soil mixed with white bones. It looked gloomy and scary, filled with the aura of death.

“Boom!”

Just as he was carefully examining his surroundings, an eerie creature with black wings launched a sneak attack on him.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Du Gang immediately reacted, quickly turned around, and retaliated.

To his surprise, the bird-like creature, which seemed fragile, possessed an incredibly strong body. It remained unscathed after hundreds of attacks from him!

Keep in mind, the Little Hawk King was of the Sky Hawk Holy Body and couldn’t withstand his attacks for long.

“What the hell is this?!!”

Just then, the black creature opened its mouth.

“Clack”

A weird, long shriek rang out.

“Buzz!”

At this moment, the original source of Du Gang’s body started to operate rapidly!

He understood that this was the enemy’s mind attack!

However, regardless of how the beast shrieked, Du Gang’s spirit remained steadfast, unaffected.

“My turn!”

Du Gang’s face turned cold, he let out a faint smile and quickly moved. He transformed into a god-like being, emanating a golden divine brilliance, and with his golden fists, he rushed towards the creature with black wings.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

Taking advantage of its unpreparedness, Du Gang forced the creature to retreat continuously, leaving traces of black smoke behind.

“Clack Burp!”

The creature stopped its shriek due to the impact.

It seemed to be puzzled as to why Du Gang was unfazed by its mental attack. After a little while, it let out another shriek.

“Clack, clack”

This time, it shrieked twice.

“Still yelling?!”

Du Gang clenched his fist and rushed forward again, raining punches on the creature’s mouth!

“Bang, bang, bang!”

No matter how brilliantly his golden light sparkled, every punch only raised a plume of black smoke but failed to inflict lethal damage on this black creature.

“Clack, clack~~!”

Just then, a similar sound echoed from the distance, as if in response.

Du Gang turned his head and was taken aback.

In the distance, thousands of creatures with black wings, like startled crows, flew out from the towering trees and headed towards Du Gang.

“Damn!”

At this moment, he could not care about the creature beside him that was once again shrieking ‘clack, clack.’ He quickly flew towards an area with fewer creatures.

“Swish!” “Swish!” “Swish!”

It would’ve been all right if they weren’t flying. Monsters’ speed wasn’t too swift. But once he took flight, they surged as though high on some stimulant – their speed increasing threefold, charging straight towards him.

Damn it!

Seeing he was about to be swarmed, Du Gang made a split-second decision, quickly changing shape and shrinking to the size of dust.

Bang bang bang!

One by one, the strange, dark figures all collided with one another.

Soon, when they managed to separate, they swerved left and right, swaying curiously as if wondering, “Where did the man go?!”

After several fruitless glances, the black monsters seemed to give up one by one, slowly burrowing into the ground’s forest.

Watching the dispersing monsters, Du Gang finally exhaled.

“What the hell are those things?!”

He was very curious and followed these monsters as they flew downwards.

Squawk squawk!

These monsters gave strange calls upon reaching the trees, resting on tree trunks, and gradually silence resumed.

Soon, the entire forest quieted down, all the black monsters standing still.

“Does noise arouse them?!”

With this in mind, Du Gang quickly took out his Ancient Divine Spear and threw it in a direction while chanting, “Enormous! Enormous! Enormous!”

Immediately, a spear several dozen meters long appeared.

Zing! It whistled past, piercing through the forest in front of it.

Caw caw!

Immediately, the black monsters, who seemed like they had been asleep, all woke up and flew towards the Ancient Divine Spear, sounding their strange calls.

“Indeed, these creatures react to noise!”

At this sight, Du Gang took back the Ancient Divine Spear.

Just as he’d guessed, once these black creatures lost their target, they returned to their respective trees and resumed their silence.

“Didn’t they say there would be opportunities in the temple? These things?”

Du Gang furrowed his brow, scrutinizing the black monsters. He couldn’t decipher what made them promising.

“Could it be that I appeared at the wrong location?!”

He thought about it and realized the possibility.

Thus, he flew high into the air and surveyed the area.

Yet, it was pitch black everywhere he looked, he couldn’t perceive anything at all.

With no other choice, he flew towards a direction based on his gut feelings.

Whoosh whoosh!

Du Gang did not know how long he had been flying, but he felt he had traveled a great distance yet felt the same— endless dark monsters.

It was as if they were infinite. Countless creatures on each tree!

The sky seemed to emit a vibrating hum.

He was stunned to find a sun appearing in the sky, rising at an inconceivable speed.

It took no more than a minute to reach the center of the sky.

Simultaneously, he was astonished to see the previously dense forest changing gradually.

Mountains, rivers, and streams appeared before his eyes out of nowhere.

Beneath him was an island in a lake featuring a waterfall with clear springs flowing from it.

On the island was a peculiar platform, which, at first glance, looked like an emerald.

However, the platform spanned a few miles.

At this moment, various creatures full of vitality were lying on the platform.

Among them, a one-legged rooster wearing a golden crown appeared to have just awoken from sleep, its eyes still half-closed. After glancing at the sun—

Cock-a-doodle-doo!

A rooster’s crow echoed.

All the other animals, previously slumbering, woke up at this sound.

They coexisted peacefully, minding their business and choosing their paths before departing.

Watching this, Du Gang was stunned.

“A weasel doesn’t go for chickens, a lion doesn’t catch rabbits, a tiger doesn’t bother a bear, everything is in harmony!”

“Could it be that this platform enables animals to avoid the danger of the previous night?”

Du Gang quickly made a conjecture, which was very close to the truth.

“It should be like this, the environment at night might be special, and during the day, they could avoid the night on the platform...”

Suddenly, he noticed some transparent things circulating in the air.

Like running water, they were flowing endlessly in the air, advancing in a winding path.

“What are those?”

Du Gang stretched out his hand, attempting to grab it, but it felt like grabbing at air— his hand moved through it unobstructed.

The transparent substance flowing in mid-air remained unchanged, persistently flowing.

Seeing that he couldn’t grab it by hand, Du Gang swiftly attempted to sense it with his mental power.

However, to his surprise, when he covered it with his mental power, he similarly didn’t touch the transparent-like material.

It was as if this transparent material came from another space-time, as though it is merely a projection being shown here.

Undeterred, Du Gang unleashed his domain.

“Boom!”

This time, he tried all kinds of methods to damage and destroy the transparent material.

But unfortunately, no matter what kind of attack he employed, they were ineffective against this transparent layer.

It remained undeterred, flowing forward slowly.

Seeing that he couldn’t move it, Du Gang finally gave up. However, he was very curious about these transparent materials’ destination.

In the heavens and earth, there were quite a few of such transparent materials like this. All were as if they were under the influence of some power, flowing in one direction like water.

As there were no reference points, Du Gang could not tell whether the flowing direction was south or north.

“I should follow it!”

Without any hesitation, Du Gang followed it.

Other than following these transparent materials, he couldn’t think of any other place to go.

However, he didn’t walk slowly, but flew in the direction of these materials.

Almost every time he flew a distance, he could see these similar materials, so he wasn’t worried about going in the wrong direction.

In this way, after flying for a while, he saw an enormous mountain that was rising straight up into the clouds in the far horizon.

It seemed to be connected to the celestial palace. When he looked at it, he couldn’t see the end.

“Could it be that these transparent materials are flowing towards this mountain?!”

With this thought, he accelerated his pace and flew towards this towering mountain.

This mountain seemed not far away, but the distance was indeed very long. He flew for a long time before getting closer to it.

“Whoosh!”

Just then, a gray light flashed across the ground, launching a swift attack at him.

“Bang!”

Making a quick decision, Du Gang stomped down.

A golden foot appeared and with a “rumble”, it blocked the gray light.

It was only then that Du Gang took a closer look and found it to be a seven-foot long gray snake with green spots.

“It’s still alive?!”

Du Gang was shocked. His stomp wasn’t simple, even a Mount Tai could be broken under his stomp, yet it didn’t cause any harm to the grey snake.

“Hiss! Hiss!”

The gray snake flickered its tongue, staring at him with a pair of cold, merciless eyes.

“What, want to eat me?”

Seeing its cold demeanor, Du Gang couldn’t help but ask.

Who knew, the snake seemed to have understood him. It once again turned into a gray light and shot towards him like a laser.

“Bang!”

This time, Du Gang was prepared. With a flash of his body, he caught it.

“whoosh, whoosh!”

The grey snake did not wait to die, its body relentlessly struggled, trying to break free.

But Du Gang quickly gripped onto its weak spot, its seven-inch body part, and squeezed. Just like that, the snake seemed to be subdued, its struggling intensity greatly reduced.

“So that’s how it is...”

He finally understood why the four big companies would set up three tests.

The strength with which this grey snake struggled made him feel that without the power of a level-four sector lord, it was almost impossible to subdue it, and at the same time, it was impossible to escape from its previous attack.

“Should I kill it?”

Holding the grey snake in his hand, Du Gang hesitated a bit.

Then he listened closely for a while, making sure that there were other beasts around, before he squeezed with all his might.

Suddenly, the entire grey snake was broken in half by his grip, turning into two sections.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Even though the grey snake was in two parts, it still didn’t give up struggling, its body constantly moving, like a divine dragon swinging its tail, hitting with a force comparable to that of a level-four sector lord.

However, it’s unfortunate to have met Du Gang. With his monstrous strength, this grey snake quickly lost its power to struggle.

Just as he was about to tear open the snake skin to look for the snake gall, the grey snake in front of him suddenly changed.

The original grey-black body began to fade at the moment of death.

Like molting, the surface grey-black layer gradually scattered into the air and disappeared with the wind.

Following that, a transparent-like material slowly appeared, and at the same time, Du Gang realized that he had lost control over it.

The grey snake that was originally in his hands turned into a transparent substance and, as though it received some kind of instruction, flew towards the sky-reaching mountain along with other transparent substances.

“So these transparent substances are actually transformed from this gray snake?!!”
