Chapter 287: Devastating Amount of Casualties

Translator: Mercurial_ Editor: DarkGem

Li Yunmu attacking Frontline Heaven's Huan Beichen without any provocation wasn't just a reckless action on his part. Since the person was foreordained to be his enemy after they descended to the origin world, why shouldn't Li Yunmu get rid of him here and eliminate one difficult enemy.

At the dragon's tail, Huan Beichen's strength had been suppressed, including his flux energy, dark flux energy, and even the treasures which activated because of flux energy. All of them had been completely useless here.

This was the most fundamental reason behind Li Yunmu's sudden attack.

If he missed this chance, Huan Beichen would have descended to the origin world, and Li Yunmu wasn't absolutely certain of his own victory, given the number of life saving treasures the other would be carrying.

There was also another important reason. In this region filled with black dragon mist, apart from Flux Disciples, the powerhouses in higher realms couldn't intervene. This is the reason from which Li Yunmu's confidence stemmed when he dealt with Huan Beichen without any apprehensions.

As for the transcending power Frontline Heaven, even if it learned about this matter in the future and desired to cause trouble for his family, Li Yunmu wasn't the least bit concerned about that.

Since he knew that Battle Sage Vega and Battle Sage An Jing had received the complete inheritance of the dual star supreme battle suit, he wasn't the least bit worried about them being unable to deal with this problem.

If she couldn't even do this, then there was no point for Li Yunmu to collaborate with her. Also, no one in the outside world would know for the longest time that Li Yunmu had killed Huan Beichen. And as for the only two people who knew, they didn't intend to become enemies with Li Yunmu.

The six transcending powers also weren't united. There were many conflicts and strifes among them. Besides, Huan Beichen was already dead, and dead people don't have any friends.

After some consideration, both women acted as if nothing had happened and tried their best to form a friends.h.i.+p with Li Yunmu.

For a period of time, the three people didn't talk to each other. All of them just found a good spot and sat down in lotus position to regulate their breathing and wait for others to arrive at the dragon's tail.

Regardless of whether it was Li Yunmu or Hai Yue or Ji Wuxin, none of them believed that people like Xiye Hanbei or Man Tian wouldn't be able to cross this final test.

After a long time pa.s.sed, the fourth person walked out of dragon mist, and he was Fan Kong.

In the calm eyes of Li Yunmu and both women, a hint of cautiousness instantly flashed. This Fan Kong had shown up again, which was completely out of the three people's expectations.

Was this Fan Kong really just a rogue ascetic from the wilderness?

Li Yunmu didn't believe it and neither did the two women.

"Three benefactors, we meet again."

After reaching the dragon's tail, Fan Kong saw the three of them and advanced towards them. His gaze surveyed the three of them, and when he recognized Li Yunmu, a hint of astonishment flashed through his expression.

He was wearing a crude gown and had clasped his hands in a modest way to greet the three of them, after which he also chose a spot and sat down to wait for the remaining contestants to arrive.

The fifth person to arrive was Xiye Hanbei.

When he looked at the four people in front of him, he was slightly surprised. But he didn't say anything and found a spot for himself to wait for others.

Although Xiye Hanbei hadn't made any unusual movements, Li Yunmu could sense that because of his appearance, Ji Wuxin's breath had become unstable. She was no longer as calm as before.

After this, more and more people began to arrive.

What allowed Li Yunmu to breathe a sigh of relief was that Li Qinghong was the sixteenth person to come out of the dragon mist. She quickly came to his side and began to narrate the events that had happened after she disappeared.

The dragon mist contained some sort of mysterious power. As long as the people were infected to a certain point by it, they would be teleported from their location.

They would then appear at other distant parts of the Black Dragon Island. Moreover, every time this mysterious power reached a certain point within their bodies, they would be teleported again and again after a fixed time interval, until they escaped.

Li Qinghong had been teleported seven times in succession, and every time the region where she was teleported to was completely different. Some were safe, but others were filled with dangers.

According to her, the s.p.a.ce occupied by this Black Dragon Island was much larger compared to what was estimated in the outside world. Moreover, some parts were filled with all sorts of life-forms transformed by dragon blood and thus excessively formidable.

Some of the formidable dragon blood monsters had already reached the sage layer. In short, if the contestant was teleported to these regions, they wouldn't have enough time to hide or flee and would certainly be killed.

And Li Qinghong had come to face this fate. During the sixth teleportation, she had encountered a temporal layer dragon blood monsters and had been killed by this dimensional beast.

Fortunately, she had received a.s.sistance from the undying sage blood in feigning her death, which provided her with a chance to escape. When Li Yunmu heard this, he became fearful for Barbarian Niu and Demon.

"How does this Black Dragon Island have so many dragon blood life-forms?" Li Yunmu was curious.

"According to what I've heard, there should a corpse of a black dragon buried on this Black Dragon Island. When birds and beasts roaming around this place obtained the blood of the black dragon, they were transformed, and all sorts of formidable dragon blood monsters were born. All of whom are excessively formidable," Li Qinghong said after pondering for some time.

While both of them were conversing, seven more people came out of the dragon mist.

All of them were in a sorry state, one of them having even lost an arm, and all had fear etched on their faces. But regardless of whatever was said, they had all relied upon their own strength and fortune to clear the Black Dragon Island.

According to the bits and pieces of information provided by Li Qinghong, the system formed a broad conclusion. This island occupied the s.p.a.ce at least sixteen times larger than three hundred kilometer square which was the perimeter calculated from the outside.

Under usual circ.u.mstances, this would mean that everyone would have to cross at least five thousand kilometers if they wished to reach the dragon's tail from its head.

However, after being teleported for the first time, after a time interval, they would be continuously teleported to other places involuntarily. They would also have to confront the threat of all sorts of dragon blood dimensional monsters in the regions they were dropped in.

Thus, covering the distance of five thousand kilometers using ordinary methods to reach the dragon's tail was extremely difficult.

Thus, it wasn't surprising that the quasi-deities had placed so much importance on these contestants. After all, it was apparent that a Flux Disciple setting off towards the dragon's tail from the head would just be courting death. Apart from possessing extraordinary strength and methods, they would still need a certain amount of good fortune so that they would be teleported to the territory of formidable beasts.

Li Yunmu breathed another sigh of relief when he saw the twenty-seventh person coming out of the dragon mist. It was his follower, Demon.

Demon being able to reach this point surprised many people. According to reason, with his flux energy being suppressed, he shouldn't have had the strength to come this far. His body was covered in bruises and wounds, but none of them were too deep. He had safely reached the endpoint.

"At my thirteenth teleportation, I saw Fan Zhanshan and Ren Sujun's corpses. In one of the previous twelve teleportations, the dragon beasts in whose territory I was teleported weren't extremely formidable and I was able to escape using Ghostly Evasion. But during one of my teleportations, I was transferred to a strange valley which had many resentful souls, both human and beast. All of them were extremely powerful. If I hadn't cultivated the bloodline of Ghost Clan which made them think I was the same as them, I probably would've perished there."
