King Time

Secrets in the heart of the middle mountain

The central region became completely silent after the beast king took out that screech earlier.

In the dark night, the only sound that could be heard in the middle of the mountain amidst the gripping silence, was Shun Long's footsteps as he slowly climbed up. His aura was completely visible to the 'king's hourglass' as he walked towards the heart of the mountain.

The closer he approached the center of the mountain, the thicker the qi in the air around him.

Shun Long even felt that if he sat cross-legged to cultivate here, he might be able to have from the middle of rank 8 all the way to the early 9 condensing qi in less than a day.

However, once this thought formed in his head, it was instantly extinguished. The central mountain was the territory of a peak rank 4 magical beast. If Shun Long were to cultivate here and fail to hold back his aura, he would definitely expose himself and his plan would be ruined.

Meanwhile, as Shun Long climbed the middle mountain, the outermost region had turned into a reality as the disciples of the 4 followed suit as they wanted to leave the Demon Mountain Region, the, causing fights done with magical beasts in their path. .

Many disciples had fallen victim to extraordinary beasts in the process, as the territory now completely resembled a battlefield. The bodies of the disciples were piling up everywhere and even more were as time went on. most of the participants who participated in the study were ranked among the 7th in qi condensation to the 1st rank in earth class.

Even the disciples who were previously in the 'safe area' in the inner region like Yong Ru and the others had already left as they headed back to the entrance of the Demon Mountain Region.

Yong Ru who was now resting together with the other 3 men and 2 women in the outer region, turned her head to look towards the region while sighing and said to herself in a low voice.

''I hope Brother Shun will be fine.''

One of the girls who was together with Yong Ru stared as she asked

'' Senior Brother Yong, are you talking about the person who is with you entering the safe area?''

''Mhm'' Yong Ru nodded his head

One of the 3 men wearing 'iron hardened sect' robes heard their conversation and interjected as he said

''Ck, entering the inner region alone is tantamount to suicide. Even my elder brother died there as he followed senior brother Da Chong. I heard that senior brother Da Chong and a few others did not manage to survive with the skin of their teeth after they entered the inner region, he said, so people who are arrogant enough to get in there themselves might turn into magical food now. .''

Yong Ru's face looked angry but she knew that what this person said was the truth.

Mendegus, he leaked out the brown-robed young man as he said

''Do you really think that your big brother Da Chong is the strongest person in this exam? I heard that Hui Ming of the 'Flying Sword Sect' had only lost 3 people from his group in the inner region when he came out safely.''

'' So what do you think is the same level as senior brother Da Chong or Hui Ming? If that's the case and you're so sure he can get out alive, then why don't you wait for him to return to the 'safe area' and instead leave with us?''

Yong Ru felt extremely embarrassed and angry upon hearing these words. He felt ashamed that the person was right, yet he felt angry that this person had also just exposed him.

Indeed, he also believed that Shun Long would die in the inner region, and that was the reason why he did not wait for him to return to the safe area.

Even though he knew that Shun Long was strong, Yong Ru still felt that Shun Long was slightly weaker than the three geniuses. And since the 3 geniuses were having trouble in the region and Da Chong's group of 'Iron-Hardened Sect' was about to face destruction there, how could Shun Long possibly survive?

As these people were arguing, Shun Long who was climbing the middle mountain at that time almost reached the halfway point, as he was now completely pulling back his aura, and even holding his own breath.

A large cave is visible, with an entrance more than 9m (30 feet) high.

Shun Long could feel a strong dark aura, as well as wave after wave of pure qi coming from within this cave.

This aura did not directly attack him, yet Shun Long now felt a heavy feeling at the beginning as his steps came to a halt right before the entrance.

A feeling as if he was suffocating overwhelmed him, and just as the little Black realized this matter coming out of the 'Time Stone', the 'Sand King's Clock' had started circulating by itself within the body, it had started to circulate by itself, directly push this pressure.

Shun Long heaved a sigh of relief as he was shocked to learn that his body still did not emit his aura. Presumably, as long as he was unaware of himself now, the 'Sand King's Hour could remain active and suppress this dark aura, without the slightest trace.

After entering the cave the Shun Long neighborhood was completely dark as he walked deeper. It felt as if he was walking inside a gigantic room that had absolutely no light.

Thankfully she had the senses of Black's little soul, and after about a dozen minutes had passed, she was finally able to see the light at a distance.

Heading to the origin of this light, Shun Long who finally reached the end of the cave, saw an amazing sight unfolding before his eyes.
