Fishing the Myriad Heavens-Chapter 621 - Stone Bridge

Which of those Ten Thousand Year Supremacies was not an old freak who’d lived for thousands of years? It was a simple matter for them to attack.

After all, when a peak Thousand Year King realm expert managed to mix into a group of Hundred Year realm cultivators, it was undoubtedly a disaster to those young generation geniuses.

But after they reacted, and seeing how unconcerned the Demon Venerable was, these old monsters instantly understood.

“It wasn’t that he was unconcerned. It was that there was no need for concern in the first place! What kind of people do not require any attention at all? It’s naturally the dead people!”

After seeing this, those Ten Thousand Year Realm experts grew calm again as they looked at Lan Tian with strange gazes.

The fortuitous encounters inside here will definitely be enough to allow me to break through to the Ten Thousand Year Realm! After a period of cultivation, even these strong factions will not be able to look for trouble with me!

Lan Tian was incredibly excited, and his body trembled lightly.

Everything was within his expectations!

As long as he broke through to the Ten Thousand Year Realm, these dangers would not be a threat to him anymore.

Even among the strongest factions of this world, Ten Thousand Year Supremacies were still considered mid-level characters that were highly valued. At that time, he could go wherever he liked!

As for the losses that these 12 factions would suffer today, they would have to suck it up.

Forming a grudge against a Ten Thousand Year Supremacy was not any fun matter. Although he could not defeat the old experts, it would still be devastating if he decided to hunt down their young geniuses!

Forget it, for the sake of the fortuitous encounter, I won’t carry out a killing spree this time, Lan Tian mused to himself.

The 12 factions had sent out all of their brightest geniuses this time, all of them having the potential to take up leadership positions in the future. If he started slaughtering these youngsters, those 12 factions might really develop an unresolveable grudge against him, refusing to rest until he died.

“Idiot.”

Bei Feng shook his head with disdain. Did that fellow really think that the Demonic Beasts were fools? The words that the nine-headed eagle had spoken to him were still clear in his mind.

Everything took a long time to describe, but it’d all happened in the blink of an eye. Lan Tian’s feet also landed firmly on the stone bridge!

Lan Tian did not hesitate at all, and began to run madly along the bridge!

“Si!”

“Did the bridge grow larger, or did he turn smaller?”

“This bridge is indeed extraordinary!”

At this time, everyone on the platform collectively gasped.

Even the few Ten Thousand Year Supremacies who’d wanted to make a move earlier were shocked, secretly relieved that they hadn’t tried attacking.

This stone bridge was, as expected, not simple. If they’d moved to try to catch that Thousand Year King, they would’ve most likely suffered some kind of attack in return!

In the crowd’s eyes, the stone bridge was still the same stone bridge, without any changes.

However, Lan Tian who’d stepped onto it had shrunk thousands of times, becoming the size of a speck of dust!

Right now, this dilapidated old bridge was akin to a gigantic planet compared to Lan Tian who was a tiny human on this planet!

In the eyes of the crowd, Lan Tian had truly become as small as a speck of dust. If not for the fact that everyone was a cultivator, they would not be able to see this person at all!

“This bridge is too strange.”

“Should we go in still?”

“Why do I feel a sense of unease?”

The three fastest at the front, Qing Ruyu and the other two, suddenly stopped and looked at each other with uncertain expressions.

This situation was indeed somewhat queer. Even these three who’d grown up with their strong backgrounds had never seen anything like it before.

All the other cultivators who’d been following behind also stopped, not knowing what to do.

“Quick, look!”

“What’s that?!”

The crowd gasped with shock as they looked forward. At this moment, the situation on the bridge had changed again!

Lan Tian himself had not discovered any abnormalities with himself. He only felt that the bridge seemed to have grown larger, and it felt somewhat off.

From the outside, it seemed to only be about 100 zhang long. This was a distance he should have been able to cross in the blink of an eye. But now, several breaths had already passed, but he still couldn’t see the end in sight.

The more it is like this, the more it shows that this ruin is not simple! That means that my harvest will be greater!

But while Lan Tian felt somewhat uneasy, he was still unfazed as he analyzed the situation in his mind.

Just the entrance of the ruin was already so extraordinary. This only went to show how amazing the ruin itself had to be.

The only strange thing was: how come no one had followed behind him yet?

Previously, he’d only been a tiny step faster that Qing Ruyu and the rest. Logically, they should have also caught up by now.

“This is strange… why do I suddenly feel so weak? Where are my legs? My body? Why aren’t I moving anymore?” Lan Tian mumbled as his consciousness sank into darkness.

On the outside, everyone could see that as Lan Tian was running, countless silvery white lines appeared around his body, slicing through his flesh effortlessly!

Then, like a net, it wrapped around him!

Following that, countless black cracks appeared on his body before he blew apart!

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, scattering onto the bridge before being completely absorbed, leaving nothing behind.

“Eh… now that I think about it, I feel that my strength is too low, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to take on this exploration mission.”

“I suddenly remembered that I’d left the hot water out for my child to bathe. I need to go back and check if the water has cooled yet!” one cultivator said in a serious manner, causing the other experts to roll their eyes.

“Cough, ahem, looks like the Thousand Stars Vine is not fated to be mine.”

A few experts who were standing around the stone bridge began to retreat.

What kind of a joke was this? They’d come to look for opportunities, not to commit suicide!

A peak Thousand Year King realm expert was something that they would not be able to defeat even if all of them combined their strength, but the former had died just like that!

If that expert had been killed by some Demonic Beast, the crowd would not feel this shaken. But this Thousand Year King’s death was simply too queer, and they couldn’t even see how he’d died!

The Demon Venerable shook its head, and said, “There is no need to panic. That attack only targets cultivators of the Thousand Year King realm and above. The rest of you will be fine.

“Go on in. Fortune and opportunities are only obtained amidst risks!”

The group was still somewhat hesitant. The impression that Lan Tian’s death had on everyone’s minds was too deep.

At this time, Qing Ruyu gritted her teeth and charged forward, stepping onto the stone bridge!

As everyone watched, Qing Ruyu’s body shrunk quickly to the size of a speck of dust as well.

Seeing Qing Ruyu step forward, the man from the Shi Family and the 1.7 meters tall youth from the Primal Devil Sect exchanged a glance, and also stepped forward without hesitation.

“Haha, even a girl has such courage, how can a man of my Shi Family cower!”

“I believe only in my own fists!”

With these three leading the way, the remaining disciples of the 12 factions no longer hesitated, also advancing.

As for the rest who did not have the courage, they stood around the entrance nervously.

Time passed slowly, and nothing happened to Qing Ruyu and the rest. They’d already made it past one-third of the bridge by now, and the crowd finally could not endure any longer.

“Let’s quickly go in, otherwise, all the opportunities will be snatched away by the 12 factions!”

“All the opportunities belong to me!”

Like a pack of sardines funneling into a can, everyone squeezed onto the bridge together.

“Eh? Isn’t your child still sitting in the bath? Aren’t you going back to check?” someone asked sarcastically.

“F*ck, I just remembered that I don’t even have a wife! How would I have a child?!” that cultivator said without a change of expression as his footsteps became even faster.

“Eh? Could I have recognized the wrong person?”

The person who’d just spoken scratched his head with confusion.

Everyone now hated that they hadn’t been born with a second pair of legs as they scrambled forward with all their might.

“Dammit, how long has it been since I’ve last ran like this?” a fat cultivator complained huffily. From the Xiantian level, one could already glide for short distances in the air. At the Controlled Dan level, one could even fly through the air as they pleased!

But right now, everyone felt as if they’d returned to the Xiantian level, each one running as fast as their legs would carry them even though their shoes were torn apart.

As for why they weren’t directly flying through the air? Just look at those fellows who fell out of the air like pigs, and it would be obvious that it was impossible to fly here.

The countless wide cracks along the bridge were even more infuriating.

Although they couldn’t fly, these peak Hundred Year realm experts could easily leap over the cracks with ease. But, the most wretched thing was the exceedingly hard and sharp little stones all over the ground!

F*ck, jumping over the wide cracks, only to land barefooted on those stones was truly quite an extraordinary experience.

The stones were exceedingly tough, and even if one stepped on them with their full weight, the stones would be fine, while their feet would be covered in blood.

Everyone cursed as they ran. For some reason, these stones could enhance their sense of pain exponentially.

One person directly frothed at the mouth from the pain, seemingly unable to carry on. The others all cast pitiful glances at him as they passed by.

“This brother is truly a talent, huh? He’s probably the first cultivator to die of pain before he even entered the ruin?”

“Truthfully, this pain is truly extraordinary. Such a small wound actually felt more painful than if I was hacked by 20, 30 sabers.”

The crowd discussed loudly. They’d already gone so far, so no one was willing to give up.

The pain was one thing, but now, these little stones were as large as mountains in the eyes of the people on the bridge!

Looking at this scene, Bei Feng was suddenly reminded of the bronze man he’d seen in the Qin Emperor’s Mausoleum!

That bronze man’s body was not large originally, but when he stood before him, it wasn’t clear if the bronze man had become larger, or if he’d shrunk.

Looks like this bridge is the truly precious treasure! Bei Feng thought darkly.

Unfortunately, this bridge was not something that he could covet right now. The 19 Demonic Beasts Tribe, along with the Demonic Beasts that were at the Ten Thousand Year Realm, were not something that he could offend.

The Demon Venerable also had a greedy face as he looked at bridge. However, that look quickly disappeared.

He could see that these Demonic Beasts could also see that this bridge was not simple, and they wished to possess it for themselves. However, the bridge easily suppressed three Ten Thousand Year Realm Demonic Beasts!

When the ruins opened, two more Ten Thousand Year Realm Demonic Beasts died in the exact same way as Lan Tian!

As for the Demonic Beasts at the Thousand Year King realm, nearly 100 had died trying to barge their way through!

At this point, the 19 Demonic Beast Tribes learned that it was best not to touch this bridge. Otherwise, one wouldn’t even know how they died!
