There is nothing on the altar in the middle.

But the reason for the various factions vying for it is because the moment one stands in the middle of the altar, they immediately disappear without a trace.

Previously, several martial artists have already vanished via this altar.

People speculate.

This altar is very likely to enter the Divine Country before Seven Coils, and the revival that Seven Coils desires involves not only regrowing flesh and blood but much more importantly, awakening consciousness.

And this relies on the Divine Country.

The Divine Country is a world crafted by the consciousness and spirit of each Divine Spirit,

Generally speaking.

The deities always place truly good things within the Divine Country.

What everyone is competing for now.

Is this opportunity to enter the Divine Country.

Because each time a person is transported inside, the light on the altar dims by two points; clearly, this altar before them can at most support seven or eight transports.

That means only seven or eight martial artists can enter the Divine Country.

At this moment.

Various forces are in chaotic battle; three Eclipse Moon Realm experts from the three great families did not hesitate even a bit, standing at the center of the altar, and then immediately disappeared.

However.

After they entered the interior of the Divine Country, the other members of the three families were left helpless.

The entrance of the three strongest.

Led to other martial artists from the three families being blocked outside by scattered individuals.

And the swordsmen from earlier also strode forward at this time, standing at the center of the altar. After divine power was infused, his figure quickly vanished.

Baiyu speculated that this person is also likely an Eclipse Moon Realm expert.

Moreover.

It is very likely that he does not belong to any of the families.

After these four left, although there were powerful figures among the scattered ones and the three families, none were opponents for Machima, Cai, and Baiyu.

Needless to say.

They also have a group of fearlessly courageous Mechanical Undead.

Cai led the Mechanical Undead to eliminate several unwitting roadblocks, then the three stood on the altar.

One after another, power surged forth.

Very soon.

All three were enveloped by the altar's power, and felt their vision blur, appearing in a vast desert.

Baiyu furrowed his brows.

This desert turned out to be the initial desert they came across when they first arrived at the Aerial Garden ruins.

At this moment.

A golden-red round sun was slowly setting on the horizon, while a huge beast as massive as a warship grappled with its own body atop a distant giant sand dune.

This beast had a massive serpentine body but also had claws and feet.

It had seven large heads, and on these seven heads grew seven smaller heads, cycling back and forth, looking from afar like a tangled mess.

The beast's limbs are likewise.

It grew seven hands and seven feet, and smaller hands and feet sprouted on top of these.

It can be said.

The true form of Seven Coils is enough to paralyze someone with trypophobia.

Baiyu, Machima, and Cai stood atop a sand dune.

Apart from them.

Heruo, Eclipse Moon Realm figures from the three families, and the unnamed swordsman were each standing in various places.

In front of them.

Seven corpses lay strewn about.

It was evident these were the ones who entered before, but now they had become bones destined to soon be buried in the dunes.

Although no one knew what sort of dangers lay here.

But evidently.

The lab rats that ventured in first had already perished completely.

Seven Coils seemed obsessed with the number "seven," and once the altar transmitted seven individuals, it appeared the function allowing entry into the Divine Country closed.

No new people were coming in.

"Welcome, my... lucky inheritors. I have been dead for many years; your arrival here proves you have found my Divine Country and the heritage I left behind."

At this moment.

A booming voice came from the heavens.

The monster on the massive sand dune ceased wrestling with itself.

"Now, I will present you seven challenges. Should you pass them, you will receive the key to the Seven Coiling Treasure Vault, inheriting all of mine.

I am aware.

Among you, some might not believe.

Those who do not believe, can exit right now; this is the passage for leaving.

As the words fell.

A rotating passage appeared before each person.

"This passage can directly teleport outside the ruins, and is the only safe way to leave here. You have made it here, and already passed the previous tests I set, sufficient to qualify you to leave."

Even though Seven Coils opened the exit passage.

Still.

At this point, certainly nobody wished to leave.

Only now did they realize, this is not the location for Seven Coils' revival, but rather the place for His inheritance.

In other words.

Seven Coils never intended to revive.

Naturally.

This does not rule out Seven Coils deceiving them.

Yet, for a former Divine Spirit, even out of pride, it is unlikely to do such a thing.

This was Baiyu's first encounter witnessing a departed Divine Spirit.

Seven Coils' gigantic body continues to writhe, as light and shadow swirl in the sky.

"You must consider carefully, once you accept the challenge, there's no turning back. Within this challenge, you can rely on no one.

You may experience the world's most bizarre, frightening events.

You may face death, despair.

Even find yourself in a dire situation of seeking life but unable to find death.

This is the price for attaining my power.

Then, whoever wishes to participate, I have opened the passage for you."

In everyone's hands.

At this point there was a small stone tablet with a carving of Seven Coils, only the size of a baby's palm. On the tablet, the carving of Seven Coils emitted light, instantly enveloping the bodies of seven people.

Yet another teleportation.

This time, when Baiyu awoke again, he found himself on a lush green grassland.

The Seven Coils stone statue in his hand continued to glow.

Lines of text appeared, but this time, they were not in the Imperial language or the common language of Canglan Star, but the familiar Chinese characters Baiyu knew.

"This was one of the planets I once traversed, a planet where disasters erupt constantly.

Wars.

Catastrophes.

All continually occurring on this planet.

Your first challenge is to survive the disaster you are currently experiencing."

After Baiyu finished reading the text.

The scene before him suddenly ceased to be static, as if the window shattered. A breeze blew by, causing the verdant grass on the field to gently sway.

Baiyu still wondered what kind of disaster it might be.

But then suddenly.

A stray bullet exploded into the sky.

This explosion seemed to signal the start of numerous stray bullets detonating from the sky, each falling like torrential rain, blasting craters across the land.

Earth and shrapnel flew.

Baiyu was momentarily stunned.

"Brother, what are you staring at? Which regiment are you from? Hurry up and run!"

At this moment.

A shout came from behind.
