EBE Chapter 473 Assessment
Chapter 473 Assessment
In just a few seconds, Li Lan had already assessed the current situation.
And at this moment, there was no one beside him.
"I wonder where Da Niu has been teleported to."
At this moment, Li Lan recalled the words of the steward.
Try your best to live, because in the end only ten people can survive. Be one of those ten!
"If the rules are real and absolute, then this means it's an open and blatant massacre."
"The goal is to select the final ten strongest individuals from among countless lives."
"And only ten can survive."
"So cruel!"
Li Lan sneered inwardly.
"Such an evil practice is indeed in line with the path of the Great Dark World."
"This is about making everyone kill each other."
Looking at the primeval forest before him, Li Lan stepped forward with curiosity.
The rules are unclear now, and we have no idea how we survived this time.
Whether it's through mutual slaughter or finding a place to hide, the assessment will end at a certain point in time.
The specific outcome is unclear.
Rather than sit back and wait for death, it is better to take the initiative.
As Li Lan continued forward, the primeval forest gave him only one feeling: quiet! Utterly quiet!
Logically speaking, even in a safe primeval forest, the sounds of wind and rustling leaves should be constant.
Even as Li Lan walked on this muddy ground, there was not a sound of his footsteps, as if he had lost his hearing, which was extremely strange.
"I wonder where Big Ox and Little Ox are now."
Before the teleportation, Da Niu was right next to Li Lan, but now he is nowhere to be found.
This only means that the transmission is random, and the location of each person is uncertain.
After arriving in this world, Da Niu was Li Lan's first friend.
"In that case, let's go find Da Niu first."
Having identified his goal, Li Lan unleashed his full divine sense, trying to detect the aura of the giant ox.
However, under Li Lan's divine sense, there were many strange auras and individual life auras within a radius of a thousand miles, but there was no trace of the Great Ox's aura.
Having failed to find anything, Li Lan turned his attention to one of the most chaotic places.
In his perception just now, there were powerful energy fluctuations and extremely dense black mist spreading 500 kilometers in front of Li Lan.
It looked as if a fierce battle was taking place within it.
But it is filled with more fear and darkness.
In the blink of an eye, Li Lan used the laws of space to arrive at the tree trunk of a nearby giant tree, looking down at everything before him.
Within the black mist, ghostly figures flickered, and even a pair of blood-red eyes darted about wildly.
The black mist seemed to block out sound, making it impossible for even a single sound to emanate from it.
But through his Heavenly Eye, Li Lan could see very clearly that many of the Divine Disciple cultivators participating in this assessment were filled with fear, as if they had seen something terrifying to them.
He frantically slashed forward, unleashing endless supernatural powers.
One of them was seen screaming in terror.
He wielded a giant sword and unleashed a multitude of supernatural powers.
But within this fog, it only stirred up a ripple, and then served no purpose.
Suddenly, a black mist swept in, followed by a pair of black claws that flashed by, and the man's movements came to an abrupt halt.
Then he clutched his neck, his body visibly turning into a dried-up corpse, and he collapsed to the ground.
Upon seeing this, Li Lan frowned, unable to discern what had happened.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and a man dressed in coarse linen clothes, holding two knives and covered in blood, burst out of the black mist.
He seemed to sense Li Lan's presence and looked up at her.
His previously desperate gaze was suddenly filled with hope.
"Help me, please help me!"
The man ran quickly toward Li Lan in a panic.
Swish!
In an instant, a long but unusually large black claw suddenly shot out from the black mist, grabbed the man's neck and squeezed it hard.
With a sharp crack, the man's neck was snapped instantly.
Then, Li Lan witnessed an extremely bizarre scene.
The long, thin arm that had stretched out for ten meters did not retract.
Instead, the black mist suddenly opened its enormous maw, its blood-red eyes glaring as it rapidly approached.
Reaching the man's side, the black claws slashed open a gash on the man's neck.
Then the essence and blood were quickly extracted and swallowed by the giant mouth.
The man's body visibly shrank rapidly.
Then, Li Lan saw the blood-red eyes of the dark room look up and meet Li Lan's gaze.
His lips curled into a wicked smile, and he let out a strange laugh.
"Jie Jie Jie~"
"We have new nutrients, and they look delicious."
"Eat!"
In an instant, the two blood-red eyes of the black mist gleamed with excitement, staring at Li Lan and uttering a deep voice like that of a demon from hell, which echoed around Li Lan.
"Playing tricks!"
Li Lan snorted coldly, showing no fear whatsoever.
This black mist was indeed strange, but its cultivation level was only at the Divine Servant level, still a step below that of a Divine Envoy.
No one, not even a divine messenger, could be a match for Li Lan.
Li Lan was so confident because the Star Devouring Sect steward who appeared on the training ground had a cultivation level of Divine Envoy.
Although they had never actually fought, Li Lan was quite certain that with the assistance of the mortal world, he could kill him with a single, all-out attack.
Therefore, Li Lan confirmed that his current strength was at least at the level of a Divine Envoy in the Four Heavens World.
But this strangeness of only possessing the realm of a divine servant is not the main issue.
As if sensing Li Lan's composure, the black mist curled its evil lips, its eyes filled with anger, and it looked at Li Lan's appearance with great dissatisfaction, letting out a low growl in anger.
"eat!!!"
The black mist roared and quickly spread outwards.
Then, Li Lan saw the entire body of the black mist suddenly swell up.
In an instant, it covered an area of at least ten miles in radius, and its size was extremely large.
It blots out the sky and has a powerful, majestic aura.
The black mist opened its enormous maw and lunged at Li Lan.
Seeing this, Li Lan pointed two fingers together as if drawing a sword, and the mortal world faintly appeared behind him.
It seemed as if trillions of beings were prostrating themselves on the ground, pouring their gratitude into Li Lan's body, transforming it into the power of faith that swept over Li Lan's two fingers, and then into a celestial sword.
This immortal sword is pure white, surrounded by a light mist, exuding mystery.
"cut!"
Li Lan raised his finger and chopped down.
The seemingly ordinary sword strike did not emit any sword energy.
But the next moment, the black mist froze on the spot, its expression one of terror.
With a 'splatter' sound, his massive body split open from the middle.
However, the black mist that had been cut apart quickly reconnected, as if it were not a physical object, which was very strange.
This situation left Li Lan speechless.
Nothing in this Great Dark Heaven Realm is normal; everywhere you look, there are strange and eerie things.
At this moment, the black mist stared at Li Lan in disbelief, stopped moving forward, and stood there blankly.
They even started to quietly back away, little by little.
Although the movements were extremely subtle, Li Lan perceived them clearly.
"Oh, it can even feel fear. It seems to be a conscious being."
Li Lan still sensed that the black mist was conscious and not driven by instinct to gnaw at blood.
Then, Li Lan unleashed several more sword strikes.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!~"
The black fog was instantly cleaved into thousands of pieces.
"Ahhh~!"
The black mist emitted a shrill scream, the sound extremely piercing, like the wailing of ghosts and wolves, and it could directly affect the soul.
Li Lan frowned upon hearing this.
Thanks to the power of faith in the mortal world, he was enveloped and isolated from this force.
Otherwise, even for a moment, Li Lan might have been slightly distracted.
Immediately afterwards, Li Lan saw the black mist shatter into thousands of pieces, its form rapidly shrinking before merging back together.
Although it is much smaller than before, it is still extremely large in size, just as large as before, and covers an area of at least eight kilometers.
"It seems that all we need to do is keep cutting until his soul is completely destroyed."
Li Lan still sensed that the black mist was very strange, as if it had no real substance and there were no special crystals in her mind to support her brain.
For example, some exotic beasts or immortal stones that have absorbed the essence of the sun and moon can transform into living beings.
Even these holy spirits, transformed from stones, possess a special crystal in their minds that can hold the medium of their souls.
From beginning to end, no living being has been able to escape this rule.
But there was nothing in the clouds, as if it could only be destroyed by repeated slashes.
"This is really troublesome. It must have already acquired the property of immortality."
Just as Li Lan was about to make another move, the black mist seeped directly into the ground and disappeared.
It was as if it vanished into thin air, rather than disappearing at lightning speed; Li Lan sensed it clearly.
"This is getting stranger and stranger."
Li Lan complained for a while, then prepared to leave.
Suddenly, one of the disciples who had been spying for a long time jumped out and shouted:
"Please wait, senior."
Upon hearing this, Li Lan turned around and looked back.
Li Lan didn't take the rat seriously at all; it was just a mere disciple of a god.
The man carefully approached Li Lan from about half a meter away and then bowed slightly.
He clasped his hands in a respectful gesture and said sincerely:
"Senior, I hope you will listen to my words."
"explain."
Li Lan said calmly.
The man smiled obsequiously and said:
"Senior, I met your fellow traveler in a ruin before."
"If I heard correctly, that person called himself Da Niu."
"Oh?~"
Li Lan's eyes lit up, and she was overjoyed.
After so long, finally some good news! He nodded immediately and said:
"Yes, where is he?"
Li Lan asked.
However, Li Lan did not readily believe what this person said.
The creatures of the Great Dark Heaven Realm are extremely strange and evil in nature. Who knows what they are thinking?
Therefore, Li Lan only believed one part of what he said, and the remaining nine parts were out of caution that this person might have some kind of trick.
Without hesitation, the man immediately replied:
"Senior, I can tell you the whereabouts of my companions, but I only ask that you protect me."
The man said earnestly.
In fact, after he arrived in this world, he had already sensed that the black mist was extremely strange and powerful.
