Chapter 1228 The Great Melee Has Begun
When hundreds of millions of geniuses passed through that twisted gate of chaos, the sight before them made them all gasp in astonishment.
This is a truly ancient and primordial land!
The vast land stretches to the horizon, and towering ancient trees pierce the clouds, each one more majestic than the mountains outside.
The air was filled with a primal scent so rich it almost solidified.
One day of cultivation in this environment is equivalent to a year of arduous training outside!
"Holy crap! This place is amazing!"
"What's the point of comparing? I could just go into seclusion here and cultivate for a few hundred years, then I'd be invincible when I come out!"
"Are you stupid! Can't you see how many people are still rushing in? Once they're all inside, how can you cultivate in peace?"
As everyone gazed at this new world with either shock or greed,
A sudden change occurred!
boom!
An indescribable, terrifying pressure descended from the sky!
The entire ancient continent trembled violently at that moment.
Everyone, regardless of their cultivation level or origin, felt their souls tremble under this oppressive force.
They looked up in horror.
Above the nine heavens, a colossal Dharma image, towering ten thousand feet high and blotting out the sky, had already taken shape at some unknown time.
The face of that Dharma image was exactly the same as that of Feng Wanli, the master of Fengyu Tower!
The Dharma Image is clad in a Taoist robe adorned with stars, and between the opening and closing of its eyes, the sun and moon revolve, and the Milky Way is born and dies.
He simply hovered there quietly, his aura of supreme power and dominance so overwhelming that no one dared to even breathe.
"That is... the Dharma form of Lord Feng!"
"My God, this Dharma form is terrifying! I feel like it could crush me ten thousand times over with just one look!"
"What does he want to do?"
Amidst the trembling speculation of the crowd, the enormous Dharma image slowly spoke.
His voice wasn't loud.
Yet it was like a divine pronouncement, resounding clearly deep within the soul of every person.
"Welcome to the first trial grounds."
"I am the wind that travels ten thousand miles."
The enormous statue bowed its head, its indifferent gaze sweeping over the densely packed crowd below, which resembled ants.
"I'm sure you've already sensed the difference here."
"good."
"Here, your cultivation level, your supernatural powers, and your magical treasures will all be greatly enhanced."
"But also..."
A cruel smile curved at the corners of Feng Wanli's mouth.
"The threat of death will be thousands, even tens of thousands of times greater than that from the outside world!"
His words made everyone's hearts tighten.
"alright, do not piffle any more."
"Now, I will announce the rules for the first round of trials."
Feng Wanli's voice suddenly rose in pitch, carrying an undeniable air of authority.
"The rules are very simple."
Just two words.
"Melee!"
boom!
These two words, like thunder from the heavens, exploded in everyone's minds!
A free-for-all?!
A chaotic free-for-all without rules?!
"Each of you will automatically generate a trial token in your hand when you enter this place."
Feng Wanli's enormous palm slowly opened.
A token shimmering with a faint blue light appeared in his palm and quickly enlarged, becoming as large as a mountain.
"What you need to do is to seize the token from others by any means necessary!"
"Killing is permissible."
"Robbing is permissible."
"Sneak attacks, poisoning, alliances, betrayals... anything is possible!"
"There are no rules here!"
"The only rule is to survive and obtain enough tokens!"
Feng Wanli's words were filled with a bloody and chilling allure.
"The first round of trials will last for three months."
"I will reappear in three months."
"At that time, the top 1,000 people with the most tokens will qualify for the second round."
"As for the others..."
A cold smile appeared on Faxiang's face.
"If you're lucky, you'll survive the elimination!"
"Those who are unlucky can only stay here and become nourishment for this place!"
In the end, Feng Wanli's smile turned quite sinister!
..................
"Now……"
"I hereby announce the commencement of the first round of trials..."
"start!"
The moment the last word fell.
The colossal Dharma image that blotted out the sky shattered with a deafening roar, transforming into countless specks of light that dissipated into the world.
The terrifying pressure that had been looming over everyone also vanished.
The entire continent fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stood there, stunned, still reeling from the shock of Feng Wanli's words.
Several breaths passed.
at last.
A monk, trembling, stretched out his hand and looked at his palm.
There, at some unknown time, a blue token identical to the one displayed by Feng Wanli had appeared.
His action was like a signal.
moment!
Everyone instinctively looked at their hands.
Sure enough, everyone had a token in their hand.
Just at this moment.
Everyone understood the true meaning of Feng Wanli's words.
They looked at the people around them.
His eyes have changed.
There may have been some camaraderie among fellow students or a brief cooperative relationship before.
At this moment, it vanished completely!
The way everyone looked at each other was filled with undisguised greed, vigilance, and... murderous intent!
Because everyone present is a walking token!
They were all stepping stones for them to reach the second round!
"kill!"
Someone let out a hoarse roar.
It's like dropping a drop of water into a pot of boiling oil!
boom!
The entire ancient continent exploded instantly!
The carnage began the instant Feng Wanli's Dharma form vanished!
No warning!
There was no buffer at all!
The closest person is the first enemy!
"Pfft!"
A burly man had just raised his large axe with a sinister grin, preparing to chop down a seemingly frail young man beside him.
next second.
A short sword had silently pierced his heart from behind.
He looked down in disbelief at the cold tip of the sword protruding from his chest.
"you……"
He wanted to turn around and see who had ambushed him.
But the frail-looking young man in front of him gave him a sinister smile.
"idiot."
The young man kicked the corpse, sending it flying, and then caught the falling cyan token with precision.
He didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground; with a flash, he disappeared into the chaotic crowd.
This is just one corner of the battlefield.
..................
"Brother! Let's stand back to back and fight our way out!"
In an open space, two young men who looked about 70% alike were warily guarding their surroundings.
"Okay! Xiaochuan, watch out!"
The young man, addressed as the elder brother, had a solemn expression on his face and turned his back completely to his younger brother.
