344: Master, everyone has left, let's get started

Just as everyone thought the conflict would escalate again, Moye Chen and the Demon Emperor simultaneously withdrew their hands.

They hadn't truly entered the World Beyond Heaven yet, and neither of them was foolish; they knew when to stop and wouldn't suffer losses here.

Their earlier moves were merely for testing.

But after that exchange, the situation on the field became clear.

The Yao Race was clearly well-prepared this time, with a total of six Second Realm cultivators, including the Demon Emperor, making them overwhelmingly dominant.

Next was Great Zhou, with five Second Realm cultivators, meaning half of Great Zhou's Second Realm cultivators had come.

Logically speaking, Great Zhou only had eight slots, but because Great Zhou won the Two Nations Grand Competition, the Yao Race's two slots ultimately went to Great Zhou.

Then there was the Giant Race; although their race name contained the character for "human," they never considered themselves Human Race.

According to them, they were born from the essence of the sun and moon, transcending mortals, and were the most noble race.

Of course, because of this statement, they had once received joint "education" from the Human Race and the Yao Race, ultimately honestly calling themselves the Giant Race.

The Giant Race had three Second Realm cultivators this time; although far fewer than the Yao Race and Great Zhou, they were still a force to be reckoned with.

As for the last Hundred Kingdoms Alliance, three First Realm (Peak) cultivators came, which was not worth mentioning.

"Since everyone is here, let's quickly enter the World Beyond Heaven," the Empress stepped forward and said.

Although her strength wasn't the strongest, her status was the most noble.

"Alright," Qing Jiang Giant responded.

"Hmph!" The Demon Emperor snorted coldly and said nothing, which was taken as agreement.

As for Le Mian and the other two, everyone completely disregarded their opinions.

Finally, the four factions simultaneously flew towards the entrance of the World Beyond Heaven.

Su Xiaobai also followed the large group and entered the sky rift.

He only felt his vision suddenly broaden.

Around him was a world of pure white, with clouds floating all around.

Here, gravity seemed to have disappeared; everyone floated in the air.

Besides that, Su Xiaobai also noticed many broken walls and ruins floating here.

Although they were already dilapidated, judging from their exquisite and luxurious carvings, it seemed that countless years ago, there should have been a magnificent building here, but it ultimately became ruins due to a certain war.

At this moment, the Empress said to him, "The World Beyond Heaven is another world transcending ours. According to historical records, the ancestors at that time called this place the Heavenly Court."

"At that time, if someone reached the First Realm (Peak) and could Breakthrough to the Second Realm, they would receive a summons from the Heavenly Court and go to the Upper Realm. At that time, Breakthrough to the Second Realm was much easier than it is now."

"But later, for unknown reasons, the Heavenly Court suddenly collapsed, and people could no longer receive its summons. They could only seize the Opportunity to Breakthrough by entering the World Beyond Heaven each time it opened."

Su Xiaobai nodded, knowing that the Empress was explaining to him.

"The World Beyond Heaven is divided into an outer and inner area. The inner area is extremely dangerous; even Second Realm cultivators risk falling there," the Empress said with a serious expression.

"Your main area of activity is the outer area. It's relatively safe here. Then, search for an item called 'source crystal'; it is the key to Breakthrough to the Second Realm."

"I understand," Su Xiaobai replied.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Suddenly, the Demon Emperor and others rapidly flew towards a large sun in the center of the World Beyond Heaven.

Su Xiaobai also looked at that great sun; it wasn't an ordinary sun, because even being so close, he didn't feel the slightest heat.

But inside, there was an indescribable aura emanating, making him yearn for it.

"The Yao Race has moved first; we can't let them seize the initiative!" The Empress turned to look at Su Xiaobai and reminded him, "Be extra careful in the outer area. Don't seek death. This place is not within national borders; you cannot be resurrected if you die."

Su Xiaobai's mouth twitched. Do I look like that kind of impulsive person? I'm very steady at critical moments, alright!

The Empress ignored his expression, turned, and flew with Moye Chen and other Second Realm cultivators towards the direction of the great sun.

On the field, only a group of First Realm cultivators and Ming Wang, a Void Soul Realm cultivator, remained.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Under the pressure of so many Second Realm big shots, everyone was uncomfortable.

Especially Le Mian and the other two, who were almost in tears. Only at this moment did they finally feel a sense of presence.

It turned out that the Second Realm big shots would not stay in the outer area; this was the territory for First Realm cultivators like them.

Their spring had arrived again!

They surveyed the people left behind by the other three factions.

On the Yao Race side, four demons remained: three First Realm (Peak) and one First Realm.

As expected of the Yao Race, their foundation was terrifyingly strong; not only did they have six Second Realm cultivators, but they also had three First Realm (Peak) powerhouses.

Can't afford to provoke them, can't afford to provoke them… they muttered in their hearts.

Then they looked at the Giant Race; only two remained, their bodies as massive as small mountains: one First Realm (Peak) and one First Realm.

"Heh, is that all?"

A hint of disdain flashed in their eyes, and the confidence that had been shattered earlier instantly returned.

They had three First Realm (Peak) cultivators, completely capable of crushing them!

Finally, they looked at Great Zhou. As Human Race compatriots, they hoped that the people from Great Zhou would be stronger.

But after looking, they shook their heads in disappointment.

Great Zhou had quite a few people, five in total, but there were only two First Realm (Peak) cultivators, fewer than them.

Of the remaining three, one was First Realm, one was First Realm, and there was even a Void Soul Realm cultivator!

Simply outrageous!

When did such a sacred World Beyond Heaven allow trash from the Void Soul Realm to come and cause trouble!

As if sensing their gaze, a man opposite them, dressed in a black robe with golden Dragon carvings, smiled slightly at them.

Wu Yan and Chang Luo, one returned a smile, the other nodded in greeting.

Both were overjoyed in their hearts; the people from Great Zhou actually showed them goodwill. This trip to the World Beyond Heaven was secure!

Le Mian's heart couldn't help but quicken. She was surprised, thinking, 'Such a handsome man, much more handsome than the men from our Hundred Kingdoms Alliance.'

However, she quickly suppressed the turmoil in her heart, then crossed her arms and snorted coldly, "Heh, man, do you think I'll fall for your honey trap? Simply wishful thinking!"

If Su Xiaobai knew what Le Mian was thinking, he would definitely curse her: 'Cringe woman!'

People from the four factions were all sizing each other up.

After all, here, everyone was in competition. Ultimately, who could successfully advance to the Second Realm depended on their own abilities.

Finally, the gazes of the other factions undoubtedly converged on Ming Wang.

Among a group of First Realm cultivators, a Void Soul Realm cultivator was mixed in, like a sheep among wolves.

On the Yao Race side, a First Realm (Peak) demon spoke mockingly, "Where did this waste come from? A Void Soul Realm cultivator dares to come to the World Beyond Heaven? Any random solar storm here is enough to kill him eight hundred times over."

No one from Great Zhou stood up to speak for Ming Wang; they even clapped and cheered. They had long-standing resentment about this.

But facing the demon's mockery, Ming Wang showed no anger at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Hehe, it hasn't even started yet, so how do you know I can't survive until the end?"

"Alright, this King has no time to stare at you all. This King is going to look for source crystal."

With that, he left the group and flew alone into the distance, his figure disappearing into the clouds.

His speed was astonishing; he had clearly used some Magic Treasure.

"Heh, a clown," the demon said disdainfully.

Then he didn't linger either, his figure disappearing as he went to search for source crystal.

The others also left one after another.

Now it was only the Elementary stage of the World Beyond Heaven's opening. During this period, everyone basically sought Opportunities alone and wouldn't form groups.

After all, even among teams from the same group, only a handful could truly advance to the Second Realm in the end.

So everyone would seek Opportunities alone to strengthen their own power.

Soon, only Su Xiaobai and Bing Ling remained on the field.

"Revered Master, everyone's gone, let's start quickly!" Su Xiaobai looked at Bing Ling with an excited expression.

After everyone left, Bing Ling's face was flushed, covering her chest, breathing heavily, exuding charm for a moment.

"This is great, I can't hold back much longer…"
