Time passed bit by bit.

As time flowed swiftly by, the two-hour waiting period quickly elapsed.

At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan and everyone else received the message that the second stage of the test was officially beginning.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chengxuan and the others at the foot of the mountain, as well as people in other areas, began their ascent.

Rumble!

Not long into their climb, a series of thunderous noises echoed above Jiang Chengxuan and his team, followed by thick bolts of lightning raining down on them like a storm, attacking them with ferocity.

The expressions of Jiang Chengxuan and his companions changed instantly.

They had not anticipated that the obstacles during the ascent would include such challenges.

Crack—

In just a short moment, the defensive talismanic shields conjured by Qian Mengchen and the others began to show cracks, indicating the formidable power of the lightning, which had reached the peak of the Dharma Form stage. Shen Ruyan remarked, “Right now, what we need to do is to quickly move out of this area, rather than staying here to fend off the lightning.”

Buzz!

As she spoke, a jade pendant around her neck emitted a ring of light, instantly blocking all the incoming lightning from reaching them.

“Let’s go!”

Shen Ruyan urged once more.

Following her lead, she and Jiang Chengxuan swiftly moved out of the area, with Qian Mengchen and the others, who were also enveloped in the protective light, quickly catching up without hesitation.

After spending some time, Jiang Chengxuan and his group finally managed to escape the thunderstorm area.

ROAR!

However, just as they emerged from the thunderstorm, they were confronted by a creature several thousand feet tall charging towards them.

This creature, with the head of a lion and the body of a serpent, exuded a ferocious and malevolent aura.

Upon seeing it, Jiang Chengxuan and his group tensed up.

“This is? A Lion-headed Serpent!”

At that moment, the creature’s mouth opened wide, unleashing a powerful suction force that was beyond imagination, sweeping towards Jiang Chengxuan and his team.

“Go!”

Qian Mengchen flung her hand, and a green light talisman shot towards the gaping maw of the creature in an instant.

This was a Level 7 Green Light Sword Killing Talisman, a top-tier offensive talisman.

However, the Lion-headed Serpent seemed to not even notice its approach.

With a gulp, it swallowed the Green Light Sword Killing Talisman whole.

“What?”

At that moment, Qian Mengchen’s complexion changed dramatically.

She clearly felt the connection to her Green Light Sword Killing Talisman severed completely.

Most importantly, it seemed the Lion-headed Serpent was utterly unaffected by the talisman’s power.

“How is this possible?”

As Qian Mengchen was reeling in shock, Jiang Chengxuan also launched an attack towards the Lion-headed Serpent, wielding a sword that radiated a grey-black light, imbued with a terrifying aura of destruction.

Qian Mengchen, Qian Donghai, and the others’ pupils constricted.

This was because they had already recognized that Jiang Chengxuan was using a Spiritual Treasure.

Slash!

With the sound of fabric tearing, the giant mouth of the Lion-headed Serpent was cleaved in two.

The sword’s momentum continued unabated, eventually slicing the creature in half.

Soon, the entire body of the Lion-headed Serpent was annihilated by the destructive force carried by the sword light, turning into nothingness.

“Let’s go.”

Jiang Chengxuan said, turning back to the group.

“What we need to do now is to climb to the top of this giant mountain as quickly as possible.

Only then can we possibly secure success in this test.”

Reminded by Jiang Chengxuan, Qian Mengchen and the others realized they had indeed not been using their full strength.

Indeed.

It seemed it was time to hold nothing back.

The group continued forward, encountering similar challenges as before.

Either the environment had suddenly changed and become extremely dangerous, or the creatures here had appeared to stop them.

Half a day later.

Only then did Jiang Chengxuan and the others arrive at the mountainside.

This meant they were approximately halfway to the summit, a distance likely similar for other teams as well.

Even if there was a gap, it shouldn’t be too big.

“Huh?”

At that moment, Jiang Chengxuan and the others turned their gaze to a spot not far to their right, where another team had appeared.

“Who are those people?” The eyes of Jiang Chengxuan and his group sharpened as they recognized that the team before them consisted of deepsea nomad cultivators.

Indeed.

The situation was as they had anticipated.

It wouldn’t be easy for all the teams that had arrived here to reach the summit.

Encounters and conflicts between the various teams along the way were inevitable.

Simultaneously, the deepsea nomad cultivators also noticed Jiang Chengxuan and his group.

The leader, a cultivator with a blue face, immediately fixed them with a cold gaze.

“It’s human cultivators.”

Another, with a fierce look and dense scales on his forehead, sneered viciously.

“Perfect, let’s take them down here. After that, we’ll have one less competitor.” At this moment, both the deepsea nomad cultivators and Jiang Chengxuan’s group understood very clearly that only one team could proceed forward from here.

The reason for that was because a path had appeared in front of them the moment they met.

At the same time.

A piece of information appeared in their ears.

“The victor may continue onward; the loser will be eliminated from the contest.

Life and death will depend entirely on your strength.”

The final words implied their upcoming battle could be unrestrained, not limited by any rules of the realm.

This understanding made the atmosphere between the two groups even more tense.

However, just then, a long-haired woman from the deepsea nomad cultivators with a fish tail looked towards Jiang Chengxuan and his companions with a hint of arrogance and said,

“If you human cultivators choose to admit defeat now, you may leave on your own.

Afterwards, you might still receive some rewards from the previous three tests.

But if you lack the self-awareness to not make enemies of our deepsea nomads, then I’m sorry.”

At this point, a cold murderous intent surfaced on the face of the deepsea nomad female cultivator.

“Today, everyone of you here, without exception, must die!”
