Chapter 451: Tell Me What This Is
The youth that fell off the bridge had long disappeared into the storm. No one knew what his fate was. Would he be transported out of the Great Empress mystic realm? Or would he just die like that?
The younger the person was, the more they feared death. A youth retreated cowardly. He said with a pale face, “Forget it, I’ll just cross the bridge steadily. At least, I will be able to see what’s inside the God Advent Tower… ”
With one person taking the lead, more people began retreating. They could ensure their safety if they stayed behind and not attack the beasts. As such, the pressure would be borne by Gongsun Hong and company.
Many young elites believed that there would be even more opportunities in the God Advent Tower. The Empyrean Marks obtained from the storm were of little value. Not only could they get only a few, they were also difficult to obtain.
Lin Yu was one of the people who retreated.
Lin Yu was at least self-aware. He did not dare compete with Gongsun Hong, for he would be courting death if he went in front.
Returning back to his original position, he noticed that Yi Yun was still slowly walking behind everyone else. From the beginning to the end, Yi Yun had not gone to the front.
The killing was intense at the front, but he looked like he was not involved with it. There was a pleasant and relaxed look on his face.
This made Lin Yu’s mouth twitch hard. This kid! Others were breaking their necks fighting, but here he was, appearing like he was sight-seeing.
Lin Yu thought that he could show his strength this time and overshadow Yi Yun, but he ended up with a figurative black eye. Not only did he obtain anything, he had ridiculed himself. This made Lin Yu so mad that his intestines began to twist.
Why was he so unlucky!?
Yi Yun was not overtly concerned with Lin Yu’s thoughts. He may look relaxed, but he was constantly observing his environment. In the storm, Yi Yun had his energy vision which allowed him to look even farther.
At this moment, in front of the group, there was only a few people left. They included Gongsun Hong, Lin Xiaodie, etc.
Even the Beast Control Sect’s youth, who carried a bag on his back, had retreated. He was confident in his strength, but he had suffered too many injuries in the first trial.
In the Great Empress mystic realm, the people who passed any trial would be healed by the Great Empress mystic realm’s energy. However, the healing effects were limited. Only a small portion of the injuries would be healed, so having too many injuries would leave them with no choice.
“It’s also good that that bunch of trash have retreated.”
Panther Lady licked her nails and hissed. As such, she could have more opportunities to kill desolate beasts, obtaining the Empyrean Mark.
“With them retreating, how many can you get?” Gongsun Hong said lightly. Panther Lady was shocked and she was left speechless.
“I am not proving my strength by walking out in front, I’m doing it for the real benefits. However, these rewards are too little.”
Gongsun Hong said this and carried on with his sword out. Amongst the whole group, Gongsun Hong had killed the most number of desolate beasts.
But even so, the Empyrean Mark on Gongsun Hong’s arm was only about 70% formed. After killing so many desolate beasts and consuming so much Yuan Qi, he had gathered less than one Empyrean Mark. It was too little!
“Low-grade desolate beasts give a really small reward.”
Gongsun Hong squinted his eyes and looked at the blurry figures of the desolate beasts in the storm. The desolate beasts he killed were mostly the metallic wolves with wings. Those low-grade desolate beasts were easy to kill, but the amount they contributed to forming the Empyrean Mark was pathetic.
“If this carries on, I’ll probably only form two complete Empyrean Marks when I reach the God Advent Tower. It’s meaningless. If I can kill a high-grade desolate beast, for example, the huge eagle that attacked the youth from before… ”
Gongsun Hong was not satisfied with the turtle-speed pace of accumulation. He wanted to take a risk. The huge eagle desolate beast was extremely strong. If he could kill one, he could probably obtain a few Empyrean Marks as a reward.
But… could he kill such an existence?
Gongsun Hong did not have any confidence. The difficulty of the Great Empress mystic realm was too high. In front of the ancient Great Empress, many of the peerless geniuses of the Tian Yuan world were considered ordinary people.
Gongsun Hong did not know if the huge eagle had any weaknesses. Even if it had one, he did not know where it was. He did not expect himself to be as lucky as Yi Yun.
“Luck! Hmph!”
