At this moment, pieces of Feng Zhi Yi's flesh were flying away, but her blood remained within her body, supported by an invisible skeletal structure, unable to leave.
Gradually, a thick fog appeared around her body, and Feng Zhi Yi had almost completely disappeared, leaving only her head.
The fog grew denser, obscuring everything happening inside.
After about an hour.
Suddenly, a gust of wind arose, clearing the sky, and an incredibly bright and fresh Feng Zhi Yi reappeared atop the Cloud Ladder. At that moment, the Cloud Ladder also began to change colors. She had finally succeeded at the fifth level. Moreover, the damage she had suffered from previous criticisms had been completely eliminated, and a brand new Feng Zhi Yi confidently advanced toward the sixth challenge.
All the Disciples participating in the Cloud Ladder climb with Feng Zhi Yi were left dumbfounded because they had never witnessed such a remarkable skill. Some had heard of it before, but seeing it in person left them utterly shocked.
Just moments ago, they all believed that Feng Zhi Yi was doomed to die, yet now it seemed that she had survived against all odds and shone even brighter.
The Dismemberment Technique, this unparalleled skill, once again radiated its brilliance in the world!
Revitalized, Feng Zhi Yi pressed on with determination and ascended to the seventh level!
On the eighth step, she was struck down by countless rays of light from the Cloud Ladder. Nevertheless, she continued to shine brightly; after all, she was considered the second person in three thousand years to achieve this.
The Three Elders on the Cloud Ladder were overjoyed; humanity was finally beginning to revive, with many talents emerging to confront the impending chaos.
During the subsequent climbing process, most were eliminated at the second level. Only Xiao Fei from Tai Dou Pavilion astonished everyone by successfully climbing to the sixth level, instantly gaining widespread fame!
The names of Feng Zhi Yi, Xiao Fei, and Xuanyuan Wujie quickly spread throughout the Dragon Python Celestial Domain.
Feng Zhi Yi ascended to the seventh level of the Ascension Ladder,
while Xiao Fei reached the sixth level of the Ascension Ladder.
Xuanyuan ascended the Five-Stage Ascension Ladder.
After the Celestial Repository announced their achievements, these three individuals instantly became the pride of Major Power. Although they did not surpass Guan Yue, they somewhat restored Major Power's reputation.
After all, these three were rare talents that appeared once in a millennium!
However, many other youths expressed their dissatisfaction, claiming they could definitely surpass the three of them. Especially after Lei Zhenxiao's failure, they gained confidence; if Lei Zhenxiao could fail, then surely they could far exceed him.
The Three Elders of the Celestial Repository immediately stated that any young talents could participate in the Ascension Ladder trials for a certain fee.
Thus, many responded to the call!
Guan Yue piloted the Cosmic Battleship and quickly arrived at the location where Major Power's Battleships and ships were docked. He set his sights on the largest Battleship among them, which was the main Battleship of Nanshan Sect, the Invincible Battleship!
This remarkable Battleship was the largest and fastest in the Dragon Python Celestial Domain. There were only two such Battleships in the entire Dragon Python Celestial Domain: one belonged to Nanshan Sect and the other to Nanyue Sect. No other Giant Warships could match this Battleship's speed.
The Invincible Giant Warship was guarded by a Disciple from the Mysterious Heaven Realm, but at that moment, this Disciple couldn't resist his curiosity and left the Battleship to watch Feng Zhi Yi and others' climbing live broadcast.
In the eyes of these two superpowers, no one dared to challenge them! It was akin to digging up a grave under a powerful figure—an act of impatience!
Guan Yue called out to Fang West and first taught her how to operate the Battleship. Fang West, a clever spirit, learned quickly and was very curious, eager to pilot the Battleship herself.
Guan Yue and she stealthily approached the giant ship together.
Guan Yue and Fang West first took an Antidote, then they snuck inside the giant ship and began releasing poison gas everywhere. Soon, many people were knocked out by the poison; some were alert but under Guan Yue and Fang West's combined efforts, they quickly captured everyone left on the giant ship into Sky Peak Tower.
Guan Yue instructed Fang West that if anything felt off, she should take off immediately and then contact him. Fang West agreed. The two spent about fifteen minutes disabling all restrictions left by Nanshan Sect on the Invincible Battleship.
Then Guan Yue began sabotaging other Battleships. Since these ships could no longer be taken away, Guan Yue did not want them to continue serving these sects.
Guan Yue cautiously, not wanting anyone to know his actions, returned to the Invincible after destroying three large Battleships and flew into the sky with Fang West.
The sudden flight of this Giant Warship immediately alerted its guardian, the Disciple from the Mysterious Heaven Realm, who loudly commanded other Battleships to pursue the Invincible. However, they soon realized that the other three Giant Warships had been severely damaged and required extensive repairs, rendering them completely unusable.
The smaller Battleships and ships could not catch up with the Invincible Battleship.
Upon receiving this information, all the Major Powers were furious and vowed to find Invincible, uncover the culprit behind the destruction of the Battleships, and bring them to justice.
The losses caused by Guan Yue's actions were irreparable.
These ships and Battleships were not produced by the Dragon Python Celestial Domain itself but were acquired from other Heavenly Domains. The Major Powers had invested heavily to obtain them, and now, with three of the largest Battleships destroyed and the biggest one, the Invincible, stolen, all the Major Powers were devastated.
The loss of these Battleships and ships significantly diminished the mobilization capabilities of each Major Power, greatly reducing their deterrent power across various regions and their combat capabilities against major empires. This also weakened their ability to combat opposing forces, providing a great opportunity for groups like the Sky Wanderers.
Moreover, it created conditions for external forces to conquer the Dragon Python Celestial Domain. This would severely impact the overall combat strength of the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, making it even more unstable and creating excellent preconditions for chaos in the world.
One should not underestimate a few Battleships. In the vastness of the Dragon Python Celestial Domain, without the presence of the Giant Warships, the deterrent power and influence of each Major Power would significantly decline, even less than that of a local force. Their ability to collect benefits would also be greatly affected.
For various reasons, all the Major Powers and empires issued pursuit orders against the Invincible, along with a bounty reaching five hundred thousand Spirit Essence! The reward amount even exceeded that of many small to medium sects' annual income. They hoped that under such a generous reward, brave individuals would dare to challenge Guan Yue and bring him to justice.
Guan Yue once again became a target for all the Major Powers! They all understood that if they could not utilize him, they absolutely could not allow him to grow stronger!
Ouyang Shaohua slowly regained consciousness. As soon as she opened her eyes, she noticed a furry spirit beast standing beside her, seemingly feeding her medicine.
A wave of panic washed over Ouyang Shaohua. However, she dared not move recklessly. She tried to circulate her own Origin Energy, discovering it was abundant and that she seemed to be unscathed. Only then did she feel completely relieved and began to examine the spirit beast.
Seeing that Ouyang Shaohua had awakened, the spirit beast excitedly ran away.
Ouyang Shaohua knew it was going to call someone, causing her heart to race with anxiety. Who had saved her? It seemed they meant no harm, but why were they living here?
After a moment of observation, Ouyang Shaohua confirmed that she was indeed underground, and very deep at that. The underground area was filled with stagnant water, dark and damp, with many places covered in moss, and some even had stalactites.
Before long, a towering giant appeared before Ouyang Shaohua. He was truly a giant, standing at least three meters tall and weighing at least eight hundred pounds. Despite his size, he appeared to have a balanced physique, merely imposing and magnificent.
Seeing that Ouyang Shaohua was already standing, he laughed heartily and said, "Young lady, I would like to ask you how you discovered this underground cave."
Ouyang Shaohua sensed no malice from him and recounted the events to the giant in detail. The giant asked in confusion, "Was there really some special attraction that drew you here?"
Ouyang Shaohua replied, equally puzzled, "At that time, there was a very mysterious force that pulled me in; otherwise, I should have been able to escape."
The giant pondered for a moment and then decided, "Young lady, come with me. Let’s go see if it is indeed that place that attracted you."
The giant was continually astonished by Ouyang Shaohua's ability to enter the depths of Flying Dragon Cave. No human had ever managed to escape from Flying Dragon Cave alive, yet this young woman had safely reached the bottom. There must be some extraordinary fate involved. Therefore, he had arranged for someone to rescue her; once she regained consciousness, he would inquire about the reason behind it. Otherwise, the giant would be unable to eat or sleep peacefully.
The giant led Ouyang Shaohua deeper underground, passing through countless twists and turns, caverns, and underground rivers. After walking more than thirty miles, Ouyang Shaohua increasingly felt a strange power calling out to her—a sensation she had never experienced before. She began to feel her blood boiling with excitement, and as they ventured deeper along the path they were taking, the calling force grew stronger.
When the giant brought Ouyang Shaohua before an ancient tomb, she found herself uncontrollably flying forward. She was powerless to resist; a powerful suction force cruelly disassembled her being.
Ouyang Shaohua could only passively allow the attraction to absorb her completely. She watched helplessly as her body gradually disappeared. Fear gripped her as her last consciousness struggled until her entire physical form vanished completely; her soul continued to resist defiantly.
In the end, her soul was captured and forcibly dragged into the ancient tomb by a large hand. The giant watched as Ouyang Shaohua's soul slowly merged into the tomb.
With great effort, the giant knelt down. His heart was filled with joy; his master had finally found an ideal vessel and could rise again.
