529: Chapter 529 Rat Tide Sonic Array, Breaking Through to the Top

These people were waiting as the mist formation behind them slowly closed.

Once it closed, the second trial would begin.

In the crowd, a woman in a red dress with red hair and a red lotus mark on her brow became the center of attention.

This woman was Huo Zhi of the Yan Clan.

“Aunt, does that person have a treasure on him?” At this moment, the youth beside her spoke, his gaze fixed on Hun Tiandi.

“Oh?” Hearing this, Huo Zhi’s gaze also fell upon Hun Tiandi. Her nephew had extraordinary talent and was born with a natural sensitivity to treasures.

Tang Junyao’s gaze swept over, a trace of mockery appearing at the corner of her lips as she gently shook her head.

Dong...

“Time is up. The second trial begins.” A short, elderly figure slowly stepped out. His broken-gold eyes swirled, giving off a wretched feeling.

His gaze scanned the area listlessly.

Tang Junyao’s eyes flickered; it seemed he hadn't managed to break through.

Swoosh...

Four figures rushed over, kicking up the sound of breaking wind. The four figures broke through and landed on the platform.

“We’re late...”

Hun Tiandi chuckled. Tang Junyao’s beautiful eyes shifted, slowly turning as a cold light flickered in the depths of her gaze.

It was indeed the trio of Hun Tiandi, Tian Xin, and Princess Nian Youyou.

As for Liu Ling, he could simply wait at the platform.

The moment Hun Tiandi appeared, gazes shot toward him. Quite a few people present recognized Hun Tiandi; this god of slaughter was currently at the height of his fame in the Central Plains.

He had many grievances with the Pill Tower, Lei Clan, Daxuan Heavenly Dynasty... and many other forces.

He was being frantically hunted, yet he was still living quite well.

Hun Tiandi accepted all these admiring gazes. Princess Nian Youyou, who was beside him, spoke up: “It seems your reputation in the Central Plains is not small.”

“It’s all just empty fame!” Hun Tiandi gave an embarrassed smile, his gaze scanning the area. These dozen or so figures were truly fast.

“This old man is the Patriarch of the Gold-Eating Mouse Clan, Jin Shi. Since you could reach the second trial, you are clearly no ordinary people. By passing the second trial, you can compete for the remaining eight spots.”

Beside Jin Shi were two dark-gold mice. They were huge, and their eyes flickered with agility and wisdom.

Judging by their auras, the two Gold-Eating Mice were at the sixth rank and should be candidates for the Tianshan Blood Pool.

As long as they broke through to Dou Huang and underwent the lightning tribulation, they would be able to take human form and become core experts of the Gold-Eating Mouse Clan.

The elderly Gold-Eating Mouse before them was Jin Shi. Despite his listless appearance, when the Gold-Eating Mouse Clan fought human experts years ago, he had defeated many masters.

After so many years, no one knew exactly how powerful he had become.

Hun Tiandi’s gaze fell on Jin Shi. With a flick of the old man's sleeve, dense crowds of Gold-Eating Mice surged onto the stone steps.

The sheer number was like ants, looking terrifying to behold.

“Second trial: Rat Tide Sonic Array. As long as you can walk to the mountain top amidst the rat tide's sonic attacks, you will be considered successful.” Jin Shi revealed a cruel smile.

As soon as he spoke, many people in the field changed expression and began whispering.

“The Gold-Eating Mouse Clan specializes in sonic attacks. With such a number of Gold-Eating Mice, even a Dou Huang expert would find it difficult to endure this sonic attack for long.”

“It seems the number of people who can pass this time will be very small,” Princess Nian Youyou whispered.

“Sonic attacks?”

This unorthodox type of attack was extremely rare in the Central Plains. Perhaps only the legendary Sound Valley specialized in these sonic attacks.

However, Sound Valley had been sealed for many years and rarely walked the Central Plains.

“Begin!” Jin Shi didn't waste words either. He closed his eyes and didn't look further.

“In a moment, you two try your best to protect your ears with Dou Qi. Leave the rest to me!” Hun Tiandi looked at the many Gold-Eating Mice and turned his head to speak to Tian Xin and Princess Nian Youyou.

“Your Majesty, the Gold-Eating Mouse Clan's sonic waves can penetrate Dou Qi and drill into the mind. Once the illusions start rippling, it becomes impossible to guard against,” Liu Ling reminded from the side.

“Oh? It seems that without using some ultimate moves, it will be hard to pass the second trial!” Hun Tiandi frowned slightly.

“Let’s go!”

Immediately, Hun Tiandi took the lead. He naturally had many methods to deal with sonic attacks.

Such as the dragon roar of the Purple Dragon King Qi, or the music of the nether demonic zither.

He even had a Heaven-tier top-level sonic attack technique in his hands, which he had obtained from the True Dragon Hall in the East Sea Ruins.

Limited by his strength, he was temporarily unable to cultivate it.

Swoosh...

Suddenly, two Gold-Eating Mice in the distance charged directly into the Rat Tide Sonic Array, fleeing frantically toward the mountain top in a crushing manner.

As the two candidates of the Gold-Eating Mouse Clan, they innately knew how to resist sonic attacks.

Squeak squeak...

Suddenly, the fur on countless Gold-Eating Mice on the stone steps stood on end. They bared their sharp teeth and opened their mouths to roar.

Like waves, a soul-piercing sharp sound containing a strange fluctuation erupted.

Like demonic music, it assaulted the mind.

Tian Xin wanted to step forward but was stopped.

Hun Tiandi smiled slightly. With a flick of his sleeve, the nether demonic zither appeared.

Ding dong...

The demonic zither's music stirred, transforming into a pitch-black sonic barrier that enveloped Tian Xin and Princess Nian Youyou as Hun Tiandi stepped forward.

The overwhelming sonic assault collided with the protective sonic barrier, creating ripples.

Hun Tiandi’s hands manipulated the zither strings as he climbed the stone steps step by step.

The crowd present fell into silence as they watched Hun Tiandi strolling leisurely.

Huo Zhi in particular had a trace of curiosity in her eyes. She hadn't expected someone in the Central Plains to understand sonic methods.

“Is he from Sound Valley?” Huo Zhi wondered.

“Bastard!” Tang Junyao said sharply. This guy really had many tricks.

He actually understood sonic attacks. Meanwhile, Jin Shi of the Gold-Eating Mouse Clan took a deep look at Hun Tiandi.

At the same time, the youth beside Huo Zhi stepped out. His body moved like a sharp sword, storming toward the mountain top at a terrifying speed.

Tang Junyao also made her move. Silver Heavenly Flame swirled in her eyes, flickering with the sound of dragon roars as she dashed toward the summit.

“Hun Tiandi, these two are so fast!”

Princess Nian Youyou said in a heavy voice.

“Hun Tiandi, do you need my help?” Tian Xin also spoke.

“No!” Hun Tiandi replied. Once Tian Xin made a move, with those eerie methods of hers, there was no telling how big a storm she would stir up.

Hun Tiandi’s hands moved on the nether demonic zither. The music became hurried, and his figure suddenly accelerated, carrying the two women as he sped toward the summit.

“Eh, he can actually still accelerate? Truly not simple.” The Yan Clan youth's expression froze, finding it somewhat unbelievable.

Buzz!

Hun Tiandi rushed along at high speed. A sound of breaking wind rang out as he leaped and landed on a green stone.

“Hun Tiandi, successful summit!”

Jin Shi withdrew his gaze, his flat voice carrying a hint of curiosity.

Hun Tiandi was the first to succeed in the trial, causing looks of surprise to appear on the faces of those on the platform.

He said no more, choosing a spot to sit cross-legged. Tian Xin and Princess Nian Youyou did the same.

Three of the eight spots were gone. The Little Golden Dragon directly turned into a golden light and vanished into the Heaven Pool.

Not long after, the Yan Clan youth successfully reached the summit, taking a spot.

Tang Junyao did the same.

Of the two from the Gold-Eating Mouse Clan who had entered earlier, only one successfully reached the summit.

Subsequently, three more people reached the summit, and all eight spots for the humans were filled.

“The trial is over. The failures will be escorted out of Heavenly Eye Mountain shortly!” Jin Shi’s cold voice rang out, announcing the end of this event.

Hearing this, many people's faces turned livid. Then, experts from the Gold-Eating Mouse Clan blocked the entrance to the stone steps.
