Chapter 86

At this moment, after the energy from the beast horn entered his body, Yi Yun felt an immense pressure on his body!

The energy contained within this beast horn was not ordinary. It carried an indescribable ferocity, bloodthirstiness, and arrogance!

"Boom!"

Yi Yun felt a tremor in his mind, as if he saw the white tiger-like荒兽 standing atop a high mountain, roaring, and at its feet, all the beasts were submissive!

These submissive beasts were not ordinary wild animals, but rather existences of the ferocious beast level and above. Some of the giant beasts were even much stronger than human Purple Blood Realm experts.

Clearly, this white tiger-like荒兽 was a revered beast king. Perhaps it had fought and conquered in all directions throughout its life, achieving infinite glory. Even in death, the beast horn it left behind still possessed such a deterrent force!

It seemed that this ferocious, bloodthirsty, and arrogant aura brought about a tremendous pressure, making the surrounding candidates unable to bear it!

Yi Yun took several deep breaths, his face slightly pale. He felt that the energy he had absorbed seemed to have a life of its own. Although it had been subdued by the purple crystal and was unable to resist, when this energy fed back into his physical body, it remained proud, rampaging through his meridians, causing Yi Yun to feel intense pain in his meridians!

He had to gather all his strength to endure this immense pain. Even so, he still broke out in a sweat on his forehead and his body trembled slightly due to the pain and the intense heat within his body!

Yi Yun felt as if he had fallen into a furnace and was being roasted by flames. He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and even a trickle of blood seeped from the corners of his mouth!

At this moment, Tao Yunxiao had already walked to within twenty steps of the Roaring Sky Tiger's beast horn. The Jinlong Guard members had drawn a large circle at this position, and Tao Yunxiao was the first candidate to step into the circle.

"Haha, I'm indeed the first one!" Tao Yunxiao glanced at Lian Chengyu, who still had at least five steps to go.

However, Lian Chengyu was still considered quite good. There were also a few other heirs from small tribes who were not as good as Lian Chengyu.

Some of the elites cultivated by the Tao Clan were also just a few steps away from the circle.

As for Yi Yun, he had long been ignored. Tao Yunxiao only paid attention to those closest to him.

"Compared to these people, even if I take first place, there's nothing to be proud of. I still need to take ten more steps, and even grab that beast horn in the end!"

Tao Yunxiao thought this, looking up at the floating airship in the sky.

"Just wait and see how far I can go!"

After twenty steps, the progress became even more difficult, and Tao Yunxiao also felt immense pressure.

At this moment, Lian Chengyu also walked into the circle. "Passed, this is my spirit and my ability to achieve great things in the future! Good, although I'm not the first, or even in the top three, the people in front of me are all elites of the Tao Clan. Among those from small tribes, only I have this spirit!"

Lian Chengyu was very satisfied with himself. He came from a small place in the Lian Clan, with the least resources and limited horizons, yet he could achieve such results, which was enough to be proud of.

At this moment, Lian Chengyu glanced at Yi Yun, wanting to see how far he had gone.

This glance made him slightly stunned. Yi Yun was still standing in the same spot, not moving at all.

Not only that, Yi Yun's face was flushed, his forehead was drenched in sweat, and thin veins were slightly raised on his forehead, looking like red lines buried under his skin.

Yi Yun looked as if he had been chasing a wild horse for a day and a night.

"How can he be so weak?" Lian Chengyu was taken aback. Originally, he thought that Yi Yun's spirit should be decent, even if it couldn't match his own, he should at least be able to walk within thirty steps.

But now, it seemed that he was no different from those cowards who were scared out of their wits. Apart from still being able to stand, he looked like he had reached his limit in every other aspect.

The fact was right before his eyes. Lian Chengyu sneered and muttered to himself, "I thought this kid had some skills, being so arrogant with me. It seems that he can barely stand without kneeling down, which is already his limit. I actually thought he could threaten me in the future, how ridiculous. Even if he has good luck, he's still from a humble background, and his capacity is just that much. After all, how could a true emperor come from a group of beggars? The Lian Clan's accumulated luck over a hundred years has already been fully bestowed upon me. It's impossible for anyone else to threaten my status!"

Lian Chengyu thought this and no longer paid attention to Yi Yun, continuing to walk towards the beast horn.

These relatively outstanding candidates, without any prior agreement, all continued to walk beyond the twenty-step boundary.

They all wanted to show their limits and also hoped that their outstanding performances would attract the attention of the Jinlong Guard's higher-ups, who would then focus on cultivating them, allowing them to achieve greater success in the future.

At this moment, on the floating airship, Lin Xintong was becoming increasingly puzzled by Yi Yun.

Was Yi Yun unable to withstand this level of pressure? Not only was he unable to withstand it, but he was drenched in sweat and seemed to be struggling to stand.

"Teacher, what's wrong with him?"

Lin Xintong asked. Old Su turned his head and looked, also finding it strange. What was this kid up to? He couldn't be this weak, could he?

No one knew that under the purple crystal energy, Yi Yun was undergoing a process.

Every pore on his body felt like it was on fire, and his meridians felt as if they were being cut by knives. Yi Yun had never experienced such pain when absorbing energy with the purple crystal before. This was because the energy from the Roaring Sky Tiger was extremely difficult to subdue.

The immense pain was unbearable for Yi Yun, but at the same time, he was extremely excited. As this arrogant energy integrated into his body, Yi Yun felt his bloodline solidifying, his bones and internal organs being tempered by this fierce energy, becoming increasingly powerful.

His physical body was transforming!

His cultivation was rapidly increasing!

Originally, Yi Yun was just at the initial stage of the Fifth Level of Mortal Blood, but gradually, he felt his strength becoming more stable, his foundation more solid, and he had already subtly reached the middle stage of the Fifth Level of Mortal Blood, advancing towards the peak of the Fifth Level!

Once he reached the peak of the Fifth Level of Mortal Blood, Yi Yun would have no gap in cultivation compared to Lian Chengyu! With his perfected body cultivation and dragon-like meridians, defeating Lian Chengyu would be effortless!

The excitement brought by the rapid increase in strength made Yi Yun's will even more determined. Even with his entire body's meridians being torn apart in pain, he endured it!

He wanted to break through to the peak of the Qi Induction Realm in one go!

However, Yi Yun felt that he was still lacking a final push. He needed to push his physical body to the limit, compress all the energy into his flesh and blood. It seemed he still lacked a bit of pressure!

He needed to push himself to the limit, to achieve a stunning breakthrough!

Gritting his teeth, Yi Yun suddenly lifted his foot and walked towards the beast horn!

He planned to go closer to the beast horn, using the immense pressure from the Roaring Sky Tiger's beast horn to temper his body, forcefully breaking through to the peak of the Qi Induction Realm!

"Teacher, he's moving."

Lin Xintong's eyes lit up, but Old Su still frowned. He had moved, but this appearance looked like he was about to fail. The old man didn't want to see him make a big show, but he also didn't want him to embarrass himself too much...

Wait, something's not right...

Old Su suddenly felt a stirring in his heart. Looking at Yi Yun again, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
