22: Dan Temple

Not long after, Su Changqing had already reached the ninety-ninth floor.

He maintained his speed throughout, without being overly conspicuous.

This first trial held almost no pressure for him.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, most Martial Artists had successively passed the first trial.

Originally, there were several thousand Martial Artists, but now only seven or eight hundred remained, with the weakest being at the Mortal Shedding Realm Late Stage.

This first trial alone eliminated a large number of people.

Su Changqing saw that Bai Ruochu and Zhao Kai also successfully passed the first trial.

After all, both of them were at the Wheel Sea Realm, so it was not surprising that they could pass the first trial.

After passing the first trial, everyone arrived at a secret passage, facing endless darkness.

Just as everyone was celebrating passing the first trial, a rustling sound suddenly came from not far away.

"What's that sound?"

Lei Keming's eyes held a hint of solemnity; his intuition told him it wasn't simple.

Li Muxi's pupils constricted under her mask.

"Not good!"

The next moment, she quickly ran backward.

Everyone else was still confused.

"Oh no, spi... spiders, it's all spiders."

Someone in the crowd shouted loudly.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and rows of black spiders surged madly towards them.

The black spiders varied in size, with the tallest being four or five meters tall, and the shortest also over one meter tall, with dark bodies and dark green pupils, countless and densely packed.

In an instant, everyone panicked.

"Bang!"

"Rumble!"

The leading black spiders launched their attacks first, and many Martial Artists were eliminated before they could even react.

Lei Keming's expression instantly turned grim.

"Damn it, we have to eliminate these guys, otherwise, let alone the Secret Realm rewards, we'll lose our lives here."

Lei Keming was the first to charge out, and the Martial Artists behind him followed suit.

Su Changqing concealed himself within the crowd, only revealing his Peak of the Mortal Shedding Realm strength.

Although there were many spiders, the strongest among them were only at the Nascent Divinity Realm, posing no threat to him at all.

And he had no intention of proactively engaging with those Nascent Divinity Realm spiders.

Lying low was the way to go.

As for those Nascent Divinity Realm spiders, he would leave them to others.

Within the narrow secret passage, the sounds of battle were incessant, but Su Changqing was at ease.

After half an hour.

All the spiders present were completely annihilated.

Lei Keming exuded Killing Intent, his entire body stained with dark green blood.

He alone had eliminated five Nascent Divinity Realm spiders, demonstrating his formidable strength.

Among the Martial Artists present, the original seven or eight hundred had now dwindled to just over a hundred, with the rest having perished at the hands of the spiders.

After all, the spiders were too numerous and appeared suddenly, making it difficult for them to retreat within the secret passage.

Therefore, many people died.

Among the remaining hundred-plus individuals, all were Martial Artists above the Wheel Sea Realm.

Except for Su Changqing, almost all Mortal Shedding Realm Martial Artists had perished.

"Go!"

Lei Keming, exuding dense Killing Intent, said indifferently.

He took the first step, rushing ahead of everyone towards the exit of the secret passage.

Seeing this, everyone, fearing to be left behind, quickly followed, and Su Changqing continued to hide among the crowd as he exited the secret passage.

Not long after.

Everyone exited the dark secret passage and arrived in front of a palace.

This palace was extremely luxurious, with two large characters, "Pill Hall," written on it in ancient script!

That's right.

The owner of this palace was an Monarch Realm Alchemist.

Everyone's eyes lit up, filled with intense surprise.

An Alchemist!

The owner of this Secret Realm was actually an Alchemist!!

They were rich, absolutely rich.

Across the entire Heavenly Martial Continent, for Martial Artists, the wealthiest profession was undoubtedly an Alchemist.

The value of a high-grade Medicinal Pill was unbelievably high.

In fact, countless people had to go to great lengths to befriend a high-grade Alchemist.

Therefore, the wealth of those high-grade Alchemists was astonishingly vast.

"This is great."

Lei Keming's eyes gleamed with intense greed.

He looked at the palace before him as if it were a massive treasure vault.

And he was the one to open that vault.

"Everything inside is treasure, charge!"

Someone in the crowd shouted, and then everyone seemed to lose their minds, flying madly inside.

Lei Keming and Li Muxi were no exception.

As the two strongest combatants among those present, they naturally harbored a desire to claim these resources.

In an instant, over a hundred Martial Artists rushed madly into the palace.

[Ding! Pill Hall detected]

[Option One: Be a passerby, just look, take not a single treasure. Reward: Good Person Halo]

[Option Two: Pluck every feather, leave no one of the three bronze chests. Reward: Mind Domination (Emperor-tier Divine Ability)]

Mind Domination: Can control the opponent's spirit, betrayal is impossible.

Seeing the description of Mind Domination, a smile appeared on Su Changqing's face.

This thing was an excellent item for controlling the mind.

"I choose two."

What was there to hesitate about? He definitely had to choose two.

He wanted the treasures inside, and he wouldn't let go of the System's reward either.

Hehe.

Su Changqing slowly walked in.

Inside the palace, internal strife had already begun over the scramble for treasures.

The vast palace was filled with various Medicinal Pills, and in the very front were three bronze chests; no one knew what was inside, but it was certain that they were extremely valuable.

Li Muxi and Lei Keming both targeted these three chests.

The two were in a standoff, vying for these three bronze chests.

"Li Muxi, these three bronze chests are all mine. I advise you to leave early, otherwise, I'll eliminate you too."

A cruel smile appeared at the corner of Lei Keming's eye.

He was not alone; he had over a dozen Lei Family Disciples behind him, two of whom were at the Nascent Divinity Realm, and a dozen at the Wheel Sea Realm. How could a mere Li Muxi be his opponent?

However, facing the bronze chests, Li Muxi had no intention of backing down.

As one of the Saintess candidates, the pressure she faced was not ordinary.

Only by continuously improving her strength and proving her worth could she stand out.

Otherwise, she would become a skeleton, a stepping stone for others to ascend.

Her gaze, cold, fixed on Lei Keming, a chilling aura emanating from beneath her mask.

"Impossible!"

Impossible?

A playful smile appeared on Lei Keming's lips.

"Is that so? It seems you're choosing to take the hard way.

They say the three Saintess candidates of Charm Demon Sect are all peerlessly beautiful. I'd like to see how beautiful you are. I'll take care of you right here today."

Saying this, a lewd smile appeared on Lei Keming's face.

He wanted the woman, and he wanted the treasures.

Anyway, he was strong, so who would dare to have any objections?
