Yang Feilong carefully felt the suction force. He could indeed break free if he wanted to, but he also vaguely sensed that if it were a Nascent Soul stage existence, they would likely be defenseless.
"As expected of a spiritual treasure of the Lingbao level!" Yang Feilong marveled inwardly. "It claims to be a space, and the vision is also greatly affected, unable to see too far."
His heart burned with desire, but he also knew that even with a spiritual treasure now, he might not be able to protect it. Once discovered by an existence in the Void Refinement stage, no, even an integration stage existence would try to snatch it.
After all, some integration stage existences might not even possess treasures of the Lingbao level!
Of course, possessing a spiritual treasure was akin to dreaming for the current Yang Feilong, as the appearance of every spiritual treasure would trigger bloodshed.
Whoosh!
The next moment, Yang Feilong found himself in a world shrouded in thick fog, with a transparent eggshell appearing around him, enclosing him.
Simultaneously, a cold, clear voice rang out.
"You have thirty seconds of invincibility protection. State your name, race, and county city."
"Wanshan County, Yang Feilong, Human." Yang Feilong hesitated for a moment, then honestly stated his situation.
The number of people who knew he was human wasn't small, but no one had ever sought to kill him. When he first entered the Demon Realm, he thought the beings there were hostile towards humans. Later, he learned it was because humans had a special purpose, and the Spirit Ape Lord merely wanted to use humans to seize the treasures left behind by King Huoyan.
The next moment, Yang Feilong looked up at the sky. A light screen appeared, displaying over a hundred names, along with their corresponding races and county cities. Qingluan Alice was among them.
Thirty seconds passed quickly.
The eggshell protecting him vanished.
Then, Yang Feilong gasped, because hundreds of soldiers suddenly appeared around him, each possessing the strength of the early Nascent Soul stage.
These soldiers were all humanoid!
"Let's fight!" Yang Feilong took a deep breath, then his figure moved, charging towards the nearest soldier.
A sword strike.
Whoosh!
The soldier instantly dissolved into energy and dissipated.
He split a wisp of his consciousness to pay attention to the light screen in the sky. He had a ranking, of course, but the current ranking meant nothing.
"First layer, two hours to set the rankings! In the early stages, you won't encounter other existences, but after hunting down the soldiers, you'll likely encounter others!" Yang Feilong mused inwardly.
However, his hands showed no mercy due to his thoughts!
In a moment, all over a hundred soldiers were easily cleared by him, and he began to move towards more distant targets.
At this point, Yang Feilong also noticed his ranking, which surprised him somewhat. "I feel I've been clearing soldiers fast enough, yet I'm not in the top ten?"
Yang Feilong's current ranking was 11th, with 112 points.
Moreover, Qingluan was not the fastest. She was only ranked third. In Yang Feilong's opinion, even if Qingluan's strength wasn't the strongest among the Nascent Soul stage, with her speed, taking first place should be a no-brainer. Yet, two people were faster than her now.
"First Place: Moluo, Golden Silk Spider, 166 points."
"Second Place: Tahu, Snow Shadow Demon Wolf, 154 points."
"Third Place: Alice, Qingluan, 147 points."
"......"
"Eleventh Place: Yang Feilong, Human, 112 points."
"Interesting!" Yang Feilong rubbed his nose. In fact, the speed at which these soldiers made of energy were killed didn't necessarily indicate great strength. After all, the cultivators who entered were all at least at the early Nascent Soul stage, except for himself. It was not a problem for them to kill soldiers whose strength level reached the early Nascent Soul stage. It was just that some killed faster, some slower, and some used large-scale destructive attacks!
For example, Alice, even if her cultivation wasn't that high, with her speed that was nearly invincible in the Nascent Soul stage, she could still break into the top ten, or even the top five.
After the surrounding soldiers were cleared, the remaining ones were scattered. Yang Feilong hunted down some more soldiers nearby, and as he prepared to leave the area to hunt for more concentrated groups of soldiers elsewhere, he saw other lord-level figures arriving.
"Human, Yang Feilong!" A humanoid transformed from a Fanged Demon Pig said, his eyes lighting up when he saw Yang Feilong. "Come, become my points!"
Yang Feilong was ranked thirteenth. If he could kill the opponent, even if he only got half of the opponent's points, combined with his own hundred-plus points, he could break into the top thirty, or even the top twenty. Yes, after a while longer, Yang Feilong's points had slipped two places, but Yang Feilong wasn't in a hurry. Hunting soldiers was too slow, and here came someone delivering themselves.
From now on, he just needed to stay hidden and he could break into the top fifty and successfully enter the second layer!
The next moment, the Fanged Demon Pig instantly transformed into its true form and charged towards Yang Feilong.
The Fanged Demon Pig's innate talent, Savage Charge, would result in death or serious injury for beings of the same level if hit!
Furthermore, its fangs carried extremely corrosive power!
"Stupid pig!" Yang Feilong shook his head as he watched the charging Fanged Demon Pig.
Then, he drew his sword.
Whoosh!
The charging Fanged Demon Pig was split in half.
"Human......" The Fanged Demon Pig's voice was filled with shock and disbelief. It clearly hadn't expected to be killed with a single sword strike!
Although it was only at the early Nascent Soul stage, its hide was thick and tough. Even some late Nascent Soul stage existences would find it difficult to break through its defenses in one go. If it had encountered lords of other races, it would never have acted so impulsively. But the opponent was merely human, human, heh, an ant!
Yet, it was killed by an ant. This was truly—unacceptable.
However, the Fanged Demon Pig died tragically without spilling blood, which was evidently a function of the spiritual treasure, the Mystic Light Pagoda.
"This spiritual treasure is quite magical," Yang Feilong mused, touching his nose thoughtfully.
A flash of light.
The Fanged Demon Pig reappeared outside the Mystic Light Pagoda.
"Zhu Gang, you were killed too?" A voice rang out. "Don't tell me it was by that human, Yang Feilong? I saw your points decrease by half, and he coincidentally gained half of your points!"
Hearing this, the Fanged Demon Pig's face flushed red, looking extremely unsightly. "So what? Weren't you eliminated too?"
"Tsk tsk, at least we died at the hands of famous lords. You actually died at the hands of a mere human!" the other person mocked.
"That human is not weak!" The Fanged Demon Pig snorted angrily. Before, it had also looked down on that human, but just now, it had tasted the sensation of being killed. It was also fortunate that it was within the spiritual treasure; a mysterious power had enveloped it at the moment of death, preventing its true demise!
"Hmph!" The other person scoffed, thinking the Fanged Demon Pig was making excuses for itself.
Not only did this person look down on Yang Feilong, but many eliminated individuals and spectators, although they saw Yang Feilong's high ranking, did not believe Yang Feilong was that powerful. They couldn't see the situation inside the pagoda from the outside, but a light screen appeared outside the pagoda, displaying the rankings of the people inside.
This humanoid soldier
