Sword Heart finally left Yuchi’s side. As she left, she kept glancing back.

She was very grateful to Yuchi, but also shocked.

Sword Heart had heard of the human race, but had never expected one to show up for the hunt.

Moreover, this human possessed terrifying strength, and had killed two first-grade Dao realm participants without batting an eyelid.

After that burst of power, this human’s aura suddenly disappeared. It was as if he was an ordinary person.

This was the ability to freely release and retract one’s aura, which required a deep understanding of the Heavenly Dao.

This was also the reason why she had misjudged Yuchi’s strength earlier.

Now that she thought about it, this situation was extremely strange.

“Then, how strong is Senior?”

“Is he even still in the Dao realm?”

“Definitely not. As a first-grade Dao realm cultivator, I can even sense his strength. This means…”

“That Senior has already reached the Dao essence realm!”

Sword Heart rapidly flew through the skies around the Black Mountains. She could not understand how a Dao essence realm expert had appeared in the hunt.

With his strength, this human was capable of forming and leading his own sect or faction. Most of the leaders of the races present were Dao essence realm experts.

How terrifying!

However, what was more terrifying was that this terrifying existence was a participant in the hunt. Still, for some reason, Senior only busied himself fishing in the lake.

Sword Heart could not understand his actions, or his line of thinking.

If she put herself in Yuchi’s shoes, she would definitely have chosen to search for all of the beacons and obtain a huge reward, stealing the limelight while bringing glory to her race.

“Perhaps this is what a true expert is really like… how incomprehensible.!” Sword Heart sighed emotionally.

She had been saved by a stroke of luck.

Then, she glanced at the two green leaves that seemed to be glowing faintly.

“Ancestors, are you protecting me?”

She smiled bitterly.

It was complicated.

Still, she chose to listen to Yuchi’s words and continued her participation in the hunt.

…

Another ten days passed quickly, which Yuchi still spent fishing and comprehending the Heavenly Dao.

There was no need to hurry. After all, none of the participants were worth his time.

He was not here for them anyway. He was here for the leaders.

That would be a true feast for him. Still, before the feast, he had to make some mental preparations to fully appreciate the food.

At the edge of the pitch-black lake, Yuchi was seated alone, fishing. His mind was at ease, and he would occasionally hum some songs.

Compared to his carefree mood, the situation for the other participants contrasted greatly.

Many things had happened in the past 10 days.

Many, many people had died, about 30% of the participants in total.

Many of the accompanying members of the dead participants were kneeling on the ground in the 10,000-meter-tall building, either wailing, unable to accept reality, or hitting their heads on the ground or wall.

It made for a tragic backdrop amidst Yuchi’s calm fishing.

Of the twelve first-grade Dao realm participants, seven were dead. Excluding the two that Yuchi had killed, five more had been killed by others..

Whenever someone died, someone earned a lot of resources.

Currently, in the hunt, the giant god race’s Ju Shanhai, had obtained the most beacons.

He had already obtained 32 beacons!

Close behind him was the blood spirit race member, who had obtained 28 beacons.

The team from the dragon race had obtained 18 beacons, and similarly eight other races.

Ten for the sky fury race, and similarly four other races.

Six for the angel race, and similarly seven other races.

Two for the artifact spirit race, and similarly 282 other races.

Ju Shanhai had killed three first-grade Dao realm participants. As expected of a publicly acknowledged expert!

Under Yu Shengyun’s lead, the angel race had also obtained six beacons.

Yu Shengxuan did not order Yu Shengyun and the others to do anything similar to the murlocs, dwarves and other conniving races.

To her, this was a rather foolish act.

Those giving orders were outside the Black Mountains and did not know what was really happening inside.

Given the ever-changing situation inside, it was easy for a bad order to cause deaths or injuries to their own clansmen.

It was better to leave the decision-making to the participants.

Some performed better, some worse. In fact, the performance of the angels was quite good, but they were still lacking compared to the dragons.

Sword Heart had also obtained two beacons. For someone who was fighting alone, this was a rather remarkable achievement.

…

Today.

It was 4:44pm.

The sky was dark and cold, and fog covered the area. Suddenly. two beacons flew through the sky and landed on the lake where Yuchi was.

Yuchi opened his eyes and looked at the beacons floating on the lake. There was a glint in his eyes as he chuckled.

Then…

Someone discovered the beacons, and then more. Soon, they started flying over cautiously.

They were here.
