The bridge suddenly fell silent temporarily.

　　The eyes of some of the cultivators were gleaming with a strange light as the grand battle passed.

　　Everyone who hadn’t obtained the Demonic Beast essence blood was definitely unhappy. Right now, they only needed one person to step out first, and everyone would also join the crowd and attack!

　　The pair of brothers had also moved to stand beside a rogue cultivator, staring at him greedily.

　　“I really don’t understand. Why would this person get bestowed with the fortuitous opportunity, but I can’t?” the elder brother mumbled.

　　He regulated the blood Qi on his body. There would only be one chance for him to take action. After that, the others would definitely charge at him.

　　“DIE!” All of a sudden, he unleashed his secret technique, igniting his blood Qi energy. In that instant, his aura surged up, nearing the power of a Thousand Year King!

　　This was his strongest attack, one that would hurt even his own foundations to unleash it.

　　But for the sake of the Demonic Beast essence blood, everything was worth it.

　　The moment he obtained the Demonic Beast essence blood, not only would he be able to recover the injured foundations, he would even obtain a much greater benefit!

　　“You dare!!”

　　“Seeking death! Kill him!”

　　No one wanted to be the first person to stick their head out, since nobody knew whether the prize they used all their strength to obtain wouldn’t end up snatched away.

　　But now that a person had stuck his head out, everyone became nervous instead.

　　It was too sudden. Although everyone had already made their preparations, no one had expected that this person would be this decisive.

　　He was igniting his own blood Qi in exchange for a short period of power!

　　“HAHA!”

　　Soon! The elder brother of the two was now only several meters away from the rogue cultivator who was seated on the ground!

　　To experts of their level, such a distance was already an extremely dangerous distance. Life and death could be decided in the blink of an eye!

　　Bei Feng furrowed his brows as a terrifying aura surged out from him, but following that, his brows smoothed out.

　　The reason he’d lost his calm was because the target that the two brothers had chosen was Lu Wei!

　　“Who is that person? He seems familiar.”

　　“This person looks young, but his strength is unfathomably deep. He shouldn’t be a completely unknown individual.”

　　Although Bei Feng’s aura was retracted in the blink of an eye, it’d still attracted a number of people’s attention.

　　“His aura is rather terrifying. Although it’s not worth a mention to me, he should be rather unrivalled within the Thousand Year King realm.”

　　“Young and talented… He’s a pretty good seedling. Try to get in contact with him, and see if we can bring him into the family.”

　　“What powerful blood Qi! What a strong body!” the 100 zhang tall Ten Thousand Year Supremacy from the Primal Devil Sect said as he turned his eyes onto Bei Feng.

　　Even the few Ten Thousand Year Realm experts in the air had also taken interest in Bei Feng.

　　Since this was a fortuitous encounter that they obtained with their own strength, there should be no reason that it would be robbed so easily, Bei Feng thought seriously. That test earlier had made him feel even more assured, and he relaxed completely, watching the events unfolding on the bridge calmly.

　　Since there was a test, then it was only natural that the participants took the reward.

　　Those who hadn’t obtained anything were only slightly better than those who’d been killed. Strictly speaking, they were just losers.

　　What qualifications did losers have to dare snatch away the rewards from the victorious?

　　“Roar!”

　　Just as the elder brother’s hand was half a meter away from touching Lu Wei, a furry paw with sharp claws suddenly appeared!

　　This paw was only about as large as a normal adult’s palm, but it’d still attracted the gazes of everyone!

　　This claw looked exceedingly ordinary, but it was still glaringly obvious in everyone’s eyes.

　　“Pop!”

　　A light sound rang out.

　　The cultivators at the side instantly quieted down, and hurriedly backed off!

　　What nonsense was that? After igniting his blood Qi, that person who could rival a Thousand Year King for tens of blows was actually erased in an instant by this claw!

　　Right, erased! This claw landed atop his head, and in the blink of an eye, the head disappeared, followed by the rest of the body!

　　This shocking sight completely scared the rest silly. Without any fanfare, a powerful expert near the Thousand Year King realm was directly annihilated without leaving a single trace!

　　This level of strength was completely different from what the Demonic Beasts that had appeared earlier showed!

　　“Even if he’d refined the Demonic Beast essence blood, he’s only slightly stronger than us now. Since this kind of opportunity can appear at the entrance, then there should be even more opportunities inside!”

　　“That’s right. After we enter the ruins, these people might not remain as lucky as now.”

　　The group of cultivators made some salty comments.

　　At this time, an incomparably pure Heaven Earth Lingqi surged out from the stone bridge.

　　This Heaven Earth Ling Qi was much purer than in the Hundred Break Mountain Range, with the two being on completely different levels.

　　“Good heavens! This trip was indeed worth it! Just the purity of that Ling Qi is enough to increase my cultivation speed!”

　　“What dense Heaven Earth Ling Qi!”

　　“How generous, the quality of this Heaven Earth Ling Qi is even better than peak grade spirit stones!”

　　The cultivators all felt as if they were in a dream.

　　The Heaven Earth Ling Qi on this stone bridge was so dense that it’d formed mist. With every breath they took, the Ling Qi flowed continuously into their bodies.

　　High-grade Heaven Earth Ling Qi was undoubtedly very helpful for the body, being able to help with the recuperation of hidden injuries. It could also make one’s blood Qi purer.

　　The mist on the stone bridge became thicker and thicker, until the entire bridge was finally shrouded with mist.

　　Although the mist was turning thicker, it was all restricted to the bridge, and did not spread outwards at all.

　　“That’s some pretty good fortune for those guys. It’s a pity that Ten Thousand Year Realm cultivators can’t go in. Otherwise, that Ling Qi would save us tens of years of bitter cultivation.”

　　“What a magical place this is. If used to cultivate our younger generation, the effects would be extraordinary. Even if there are no other profits from this trip, just the Demonic Beast essence blood and the Heaven Earth Ling Qi is already worth our trip here.”

　　Even the Ten Thousand Year Realm experts were somewhat jealous of this exceedingly pure Ling Qi. One had to know that the Ling Qi in peak grade spirit stones could already be considered extremely pure.

　　But no matter how pure it was, it was still just a type of spirit Qi, and was not comparable to the natural Heaven Earth Ling Qi.

　　It was only for convenience’s sake that it was also called Ling Qi ¹ .

　　The minds of the cultivators also became much calmer now as they stood within the mist. Even though they hadn’t obtained any Demonic Beast essence blood, this high-quality Ling Qi still made them rather happy.

　　“HAHA, I broke through!”

　　“This is first time I felt that cultivation was so simple! I actually broke through with such ease.”

　　“The bottleneck that I’d been stuck at for three years had been broken just like that?”

　　Many people began to sit down cross-legged, revolving their cultivation technique to absorb the Ling Qi. In just a few minutes, powerful blood Qi ripples surged out from this group of people.

　　It wasn’t just one or two people breaking through. Most of them had managed to obtain a breakthrough!

　　As for Lu Wei and the rest who’d received the Demonic Beast essence blood, their harvest was even greater. A small Qi vortex even formed around their bodies!

　　Large amounts of Ling Qi funneled continuously into Lu Wei’s and the others’ bodies, complementing the Demonic Beast essence blood to transform and strengthen their bodies!

　　Around 40 people had received the Demonic Beast essence blood, with 30 from the various large factions and around a dozen rogue cultivators.

　　From this, one could see the great foundations of the large sects and family clans!
