Long Aotian really was extraordinary, facing these four Law Domain Lord level monsters right now, each one basically collapsed with one punch.

As for those five Law Domain Lord level monsters, he could shatter them with sheer power.

Since he fell into the abyss of the night, a whole hour has passed by, and he’s still fighting continuously.

This person seemed tireless and fought fiercely.

“Hee Hee!”

As time went on, the commotion became louder and attracted more and more black monsters.

At this moment, quite a few of the monsters thousands of feet away from this first platform all surged down.

On the second platform, people including Yu Shuiyao, Yao Zijie, and Qiao Jin, were cautiously standing on the edge of the platform, peeking their heads out for just a glance and then quickly pulling back, afraid of attracting the black monsters’ attention.

Despite their caution, black monsters were still assembling near the platform.

Usually, after waiting for about three minutes, these monsters would leave and continue to rush towards Long Aotian’s location below.

“The person down there, is it Long Aotian?!”

“It’s him…”

The three of them looked at each other, somewhat stunned.

At this point, Yao Zijie started to feel something was wrong.

“Du Gang, he…”

He became somewhat tongue-tied, feeling as if he might have been in Hell on a tour, with a chill down his spine.

He started to remember the previous words of Du Gang.

Could it be…

Du Gang wanted to force himself onto Long Aotian?

Long Aotian would rather die than submit, so he jumped into the arcane night world?!

“Terrifying!”

For the first time in Yao Zijie’s life, he was this afraid of a person.

It was too scary!

He was not afraid of men liking him, but was afraid of men liking him and perhaps being no weaker than him…

Qiao Jin didn’t know what he was thinking about, nodded, and said with a laugh, “It was not bad, right? It would be even more terrifying if Du Gang made a move personally…”

Hearing this, Yao Zijie was rendered speechless. He remembered Qiao Jin and Du Gang came from the same place…

Immediately, terrified, he quickly stepped away and took refuge on the other side of the platform.

“So mysterious!”

Qiao Jin looked puzzled and shook his head, deciding not to bother about it.

“Wow, he’s pretty powerful!”

Standing on the edge of the first platform, Du Gang marveled.

He was initially prepared to jump in to kidnap someone, but he found out that Long Aotian’s power was incredibly terrifying, reaching the Five Law Sector Lords’ level.

With every casual punch or kick, he could wipe out the average black monster.

“Hee Hee Hee!!”

Then, a more peculiar sound came over. When Du Gang looked up, a black monster triple the size of the ordinary ones was flying towards him.

“Bang!”

This monster had the power of a Six Law Domain master, and forced Long Aotian to retreat.

Furthermore, although he had previously been defending superbly, the hit from this monster found a gap in his defense, causing other monsters to take the opportunity and start biting him.

“Hiss!”

A monster managed to bite into his flesh, causing Long Aotian to cry out in pain.

“Damn it!”

He instantly became furious. He had been holding back initially, waiting to give Du Gang a surprise when he showed up, but now, he couldn’t hold back anymore.

“Divine Dragon Manifesting!”

A dragon’s roar shook the heaven!

Upon his enraged howl, the Supreme Technique was revealed.

A dragon-shaped phantom appeared, reaching almost thirty thousand feet, its golden light dazzling and brilliant, its power shaking the very heavens. The moment it appeared, it killed all the ordinary black monsters around it.

“Bang!”

To everyone’s astonishment, this terrifying divine dragon didn’t manage to kill the black monster of the Six Law Domain Lord level.

Although smoke was billowing out of it, the monster was still alive.

Not only that, it became furious!

“Hee Hee Hee!”

It started calling for reinforcements. This time, it’s likely that all the monsters summoned will be of the Six Law Domain Lord level.

“Tsk tsk tsk!”

Watching this scene, Du Gang clicked his tongue. Long Aotian’s attack was indeed formidable; if it were others at the Six Law Domain Lord level, they might have been gravely injured.

However, these monsters, unless completely killed, there is no concept of grave injury. Therefore, Long Aotian’s attack, akin to a full-strength strike from a Six Law Domain Lord, was ineffective!

“But, this guy really has no sense of subtlety, in such a dark night, releasing such a bright light…”

He looked up to see, indeed, monsters of Six Law Domain Master Level, one group after another, were flying down from the tall trees above.

Not only that, it seemed that even higher level monsters had also been stirred.

On the 30th high platform, more than three hundred thousand meters above the ground, a large portion of the early-arriving prodigies had gathered.

“Such dominant power, comparable to a Six Law Domain Master Level attack, right?!”

“Yeah, I don’t know who is so arrogant, coming all the way up to Mount Tongtian and daring to do this…”

Their location was too far from the ground and they couldn’t see what was happening below, so they could only gasp in admiration.

“So what if he is powerful, I just saw a Seven Law Domain Master Level monster fly down!”

Once this sentence was out, all the prodigies present fell silent.

Only after a while, someone shook his head and sighed, “What a pity, such a powerful creature, simply gone like that…”

At present, only an hour had passed in the night, and there were still five more hours until it ended.

None of them believed that the person below could survive for five hours.

First platform.

Du Gang’s jaw was about to drop.

Every time he thought that Long Aotian was about to give in, the guy would pull out a new surprise!

At this moment, appearing before him was a Seven Law Domain Master Level monster, but Long Aotian was still standing firm.

“Boom!”

Long Aotian’s extraordinary manifestation finally unfolded.

A giant dragon-shaped throne gradually surfaced.

A monstrous presence slowly spread out, as if a sealed prehistoric beast had been released at this moment.

It was full of demonic nature, full of terror, it gave people a sense of palpitations.

“What is this?”

Du Gang looked at the throne and furrowed his brows.

Suddenly, he thought of something, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in shock, “Could it be, his unique phenomenon is the Supreme Throne?”

“A throne once sat upon by a Supreme?!”

Holy shit!

This assumption gave Du Gang a shock.

“Is it really possible?!”

Can a Sector Lord level persona summon the Supreme Throne?!

“Dominate the world!”

Long Aotian had transformed into an Azure Dragon at this moment, swimming freely in this space.

“Roar!”

The dragon roar continued!

By now, all the Four Law Domain Master Level monsters around would be killed by this dragon roar.

Even Du Gang, being on the platform and in another dimension, felt as if the ground was shaking a bit.

On the 30th platform.

Listening to the dragon roar that echoed throughout the sky, all the people present shuddered.

“It’s Long Aotian!”

“This guy is here!”

Quite a few people recognized the sound, and their expressions became solemn.

“If it’s him, I’m not so certain anymore. I don’t know if he’ll be able to hold out for six hours!”

A prodigy fell into complex emotions. He had been defeated by Long Aotian before.

“He’s a very proud man, his strength is terrifying…”

“If I had to choose the most invincible being at the Sector Lord Level, I might pick Long Aotian!”

All the prodigies present were silent. The name of Long Aotian was as well-known as thunder.

Back on Penglai Island, he was unstoppable and incredibly famous.

“Hehe!”

Suddenly, a delightful laughter echoed.

Everyone turned to look.

It was a stunning woman, wearing a tight suit of armor that perfectly showcased her figure.

“Where do you think I, Yao Zixuan, stand if he is invincible?”

Everyone was speechless. The woman was indeed a good woman, but she was too manly, always possessing a daring spirit.

However, her words seemed to reignite the spirits of everyone present.

“Even if his strength is comparable to Seven Law Domain Masters, aren’t we, the Sector Lord Level beings, starting from the same point in advancing toward eternity?”

“That’s right, Long Aotian is just a few years older than us. Given time, I won’t be any lesser than him!”

“So what if you have the strength comparable to that of a Seven Law Domain Master?”

Du Gang watched with glee as Long Aotian was engaged in a ferocious battle before him.

At this moment, what he was facing was not just a single seven Law Domain Lord level monster. The sky was filled with such monsters, all of them fearless and ready to take him down, even if it cost them their lives.

“Roar!”

The flood dragon that Long Aotian had morphed into was showing signs of exhaustion. The scales on his body were shattered, blood was dripping and he was in a desperate state.

Was I, Long Aotian, going to die like this?

He was very unwilling, having just been born, to meet such a sudden end this early.

“I may not be able to hold on for more than three hours…”

His eyes hadn’t retained their initial sharpness, filled only with unwillingness and defiance.

At that moment, a voice echoed in his ears.

“Do you wish to live?”

Simultaneously, a force of the world seemed to cover him.

“Don’t you dare!”

Long Aotian let out an enraged roar, used the Divine Dragon’s Tail Swing technique to shake off the monsters that were sucking his blood.

His eyes, as big as lanterns and gilded in a golden sheen, were darting everywhere.

Unfortunately, no matter how he searched, he could not locate Du Gang’s position.

This fellow was actually able to exist under the cover of the dark night, and nobody knew where he was hiding!

He was shocked. Despite his seven Law Domain Lord’s power, he couldn’t detect Du Gang’s whereabouts.

Not a single flaw!

“It can’t be!”

At that moment, he also unleashed the world domain, sweeping every inch of the land and space around him.

But what awaited him was disappointment.

Unless Du Gang had turned into one of the monsters…

“Roar!”

The monsters surrounding him didn’t care about his efforts; they continued to flood towards him like an incessant tidal wave.

“Roar!!!”

With continuous dragon roars, each growl possessing an endless might, anyone who heard it couldn’t help but tremble in fear.

But it was useless, these monsters were fearless!

At that moment, Du Gang, who had transformed into dust, did not continue to question, but began to wait patiently instead.

Long Aotian wouldn’t die that easily, especially now that he was in the form of a flood dragon, his vitality was stronger.

At worst, when he’s on his last breath, he would forcefully take action!

“Good fellow, it’s lucky I didn’t make a move on him, otherwise I’d be in big trouble!”

The dust that Du Gang had become drifted with the wind, hovering around the battlefield.

He was somewhat incredulous. At first, he felt that Long Aotian’s strength of Five Law Domain Lord level was already very strong.

When he displayed the Six Law Domain Lord level strength, he believed that he had reached his limit!

But when he attacked with a power comparable to that of a Seven Law Domain Lord level, he actually felt that this fellow was the son of destiny.

Now, although there were no eight Law Domain Lord level monsters attacking him, he was able to hold on for such a long time under the attack of many Seven Law Domain Lord monsters.

“It’s unbelievable!”

After sighing, Du Gang immediately wore an excited expression.

“This guy, with such a high potential, could be sold for even more, right?!”

“At least two million Saint Crystals!”

“Considering how much resources the Dragon Family must have poured into him, two million Saint Crystals should not be a problem…”

In his eyes, Long Aotian was already equivalent to two million Saint Crystals.

Half an hour passed.

At this point, Long Aotian couldn’t even emit a dragon’s chant. He was thoroughly exhausted!

He had been fighting non-stop. If he hadn’t, he wouldn’t have been able to hold on for even this half of an hour.

It wasn’t that he wasn’t strong enough, but his opponents didn’t know exhaustion or fear of death, they were endless, like ants, appearing again and again, everywhere.

“Boom!”

Once again using the Divine Dragon’s Tail Swing, he cleared all the surrounding monsters, catching his breath with great difficulty in the process.

Looking at the endless stream of monsters still flying towards him from the sky, Long Aotian felt tired in this moment.

There were too many!

They were unkillable!

Was he going to die like this?!

Be taken as a prisoner?!

No, the Dragon Clan would never be slaves!

At this point, Long Aotian chose death over surrender, this was the supreme conviction imbued in him since he was young.

Death before humiliation!

“Since I can’t escape this inevitable death, why not let me have a look at that Peak of Divine Mountain, and see what it truly is!”

In this moment, he seemed to have found peace, completely disregarding life and death. Ignoring the rule that flying would only speed up the approach of other monsters, he started to ascend towards the sky.

“Boom!”

Quickly, he crossed the distance of ten thousand meters. Under the astonished gazes of Yu Shuiyao, Yao Zijie, Qiao Jin, and others, he continued to soar upwards.

Monsters were densely covering his body, all of them were voraciously sucking his blood and chewing his flesh.

He was indifferent to everything happening to him. Regardless of everything, he kept raising his dragon head high, continuing to fly towards the sky.

“Does he… not care about his life?!”

Yu Shuiyao exclaimed in surprise.

“Life?”

Qiao Jin shook his head, “Once he entered the world of darkness, he couldn’t have survived!”

Just a little over two hours had passed, and Long Aotian was already drained.

“Hoot!”

Long Aotian roared, carrying the last dignity of the Dragon Clan, he madly rushed towards the sky.

Ten thousand meters, twenty thousand meters, thirty thousand meters!

Quickly, he soared flatly to the height of the thirtieth platform in the sky.

As if across time and space, he glanced towards the platform.

Looking at his full of tragic determination eyes, everyone at the scene was deeply moved.

“Long Aotian, sigh!”

“Brother, in next life, we’ll fight again!”

At this moment, even though people didn’t have too deep feelings for Long Aotian, they all felt a twinge of sadness due to the situation.

As if he heard these cries, Long Aotian stopped, slowly opening his dragon’s mouth.

“Long Aotian… even if I die, I want to die on this Path to Ascension!”

“Hoot!”

At this moment, he finally let go, his whole body shining with golden light, an even more enormous and breathtaking momentum instantly spread out. The monsters originally attached to him were all terrified by his powerful dazzling light, and all turned into ashes.

“Holy shit!”

“He actually advanced!”

Everyone stared blankly at Long Aotian, who had unexpectedly made a breakthrough at such a crucial moment.

“Eight Law Domain Lord… He’s reached the peak of Sector Lord Level strength!”

Everyone felt it very dreamlike, wasn’t he supposed to die?

How did you make a breakthrough again?!

“Hoot!”

A sky-shaking dragon roar sounded, Long Aotian was filled with pride, he once again took flight, directly rushing up to brilliant heights.

The dragon roared across the sky, unstoppable, dominating the world, with momentum covering the sky and the earth, fearless.

“Aow!”

When he recovered from this heroic atmosphere, he found out in a daze that he had gone from being surrounded by the Seven Law Domain Masters to being trapped in a circle of Eight Law Domain Master monsters.

Moreover, above the sky, there seemed to be even more powerful monsters swarming down, the terrifying force, even he felt scared when he sensed it.

“God Spirit Level monsters?!”

“Gulp!”

Long Aotian swallowed, “I bragged too much, I should have gone down when I advanced!”

Back then, he could have gone down, and with his Eight Law Domain Master strength, there really wasn’t anything that could kill him. Holding on for the last three hours would have been no problem at all.

But now, not only was he surrounded by Eight Law Domain Masters, but he also alarmed the God Spirit Level monsters.

“Escape?”

Too late!

A terrifying eight-winged monster, with a domineering presence, flew towards him.

“Bang!”

“Spurt!”

Merely suppressed by its aura, Long Aotian was greatly injured, his spirit was languished, he was exhausted and his eyes were drooping.

Is the gap with the God Spirit Level so big?!

“Hoot!”

Just when he thought he was about to die, another familiar power of the world appeared, sweeping towards him.

At this moment, he wanted to resist, but it was too late, he could only roar angrily.

The next second, his dragon body, stretching thousands of meters long, disappeared from this dark world.

After forcibly retrieving Long Aotian, Du Garng didn’t look back and madly sped downward.

God Spirit Level!

Damn it, this is the God Spirit Level!

Such a troublemaker!

Du Gang was cursing and swearing in his heart!

God Spirit Level, it could already discover him!

He was uncertain whether he could escape or not.

He didn’t know, at this moment, the eight-winged monster hovering in the sky didn’t chase after him. It was a little puzzled.

Looking at the direction where Du Gang disappeared, his eyes, made of smoke, revealed extremely complex emotions.

Eventually, these complicated feelings all turned into a silent sigh.

At this moment, Du Gang was giving it his all, running like a madman, speeding downwards.

It wasn’t until he reached the ground that he stopped, looked up, and found that apart from a few curious monsters nearby who were looking left and right to see what had flown by, there were no other movements.

Thank goodness, that thing didn’t follow!

Du Gang breathed a sigh of relief.

Quickly burrowing into the earth, his consciousness immersed itself in the world within his body.

At this moment, the Little Hawk King and Long Aotian were each on two pillars, staring at each other with tension in the air.

“Here he comes, little brother!”

At this time, an untimely voice sounded.

Du Gang’s spirit form floated next to the two, grinning at them.

“Hmm!”

The two of them turned their heads in disdain.

“Oh, there is a grudge?”

Seeing the obviously storied duo, Du Gang became interested.

The Little Hawk King glanced at him, seemingly having previously spoken with Du Gang, he reluctantly admitted: “No grudge per se, but the Dragon Clan, instead of staying in the water, always flies up into the sky…”

“Who told you we Dragons should stay in the water? Our Dragon Family hasn’t stayed in the water for tens of billions of years…”

So it was a territorial dispute. The Dragon Clan was trespassing into the sky, vying for the airspace dominance of the Eagle Clan.

However, these were long-term and pertained only to the Primordial Continent. They had only heard their elders talk about these issues. So, they naturally eyed each other with hostility.

After Long Aotian finished speaking, he turned his head and glared at Du Gang, his teeth gritted: “Du Gang, you’re seeking death…”

“Hehe!”

Du Gang chuckled dryly, stating nonchalantly: “Mind your manners, this is my world. Think before you talk big, whether you can withstand it…”

“Hmph!”

After being interrupted, Long Aotian didn’t continue and just snorted, “Kill me or torture, it’s up to you!”

Since he has become a captive, he will accept it. Like Du Gang said, there is a difference between dying quickly and slowly.

Rather than being tortured to the point of wishing for death, he would prefer a swift death.

“Tsk tsk tsk!”

Du Gang laughed: “Manly indeed! I believe, your father wouldn’t bear to see you die upon witnessing your guts!”

“Two million Saint Crystals, isn’t that too much?!”

“Too much!”

At this time, the Little Hawk King finally spoke up, unsatisfied.

“Why, how can you ransom me for a million Saint Crystals and him for two million Saint Crystals?!”

Upon hearing this, not only did Du Gang get startled, even Long Aotian froze.

“What do you mean, you’ll give me two million Saint Crystals… you want to hire me?”

His eyes widened, looking at Du Gang in disbelief, golden pupils shimmering with an innocent light.

“I’ll give you…”

Du Gang laughed, “Dream on, that’s your ransom!”

At this time, Little Hawk King interrupted again, “Du Gang, why are you giving him two million while only giving me one million?!”

He seemed quite disgruntled, “Could it be, do you think I’m inferior?!”

Du Gang was speechless. This was the first time he heard someone complaining about their ransom being too low!

He really wanted to know, if he took a video of this and showed it to the old Hawk King, would he kill this spendthrift?

However, here, he didn’t do this, instead, he said smilingly, “you must give me a reason worthy of two million …”

“But Long Aotian belongs to the Dragon Clan!”

Due to the influence of Earth’s culture, Du Gang viewed the Dragon Clan as noble. However, on the Primordial Continent, the Dragon Clan was merely one of the top hundred divine tribes.

And on Penglai Island, the Dragon Family was only one of the eighteen great families.

“So what if it’s the Dragon Clan?”

The Little Hawk King was puzzled and quickly retorted, “I belong to the Purple Heavenly Eagle Clan!”

Seeing that Du Gang doesn’t react, he frowned, “Our Purple Heavenly Eagle Clan… is equivalent to the Dragon Clan…”

Upon hearing this, Du Gang finally realized that the Dragon Clan was merely one of the top hundred divine tribes in the Primordial Continent.

Also, Long Aotian’s lineage belonged to the Azure Flood Dragon Tribe, which was not the strongest in the Dragon Clan.

However, he still insisted, “Long Aotian has reached the Eight Law Domain Lord level…”

The Little Hawk King was stunned, with a surprised expression on his face.

However, he quickly recovered, “That’s only the Eight Law Domain Lord level strength, given some time, I can reach it too!”

Du Gang laughed, “Then when you reach it, let’s talk. Anyways, you’re only worth a million Saint Crystals now!”

Little Hawk King frowned, “Du Gang, forget about me, don’t you have the confidence to reach the Eight Law Domain Lord level yourself?!”

“Of course, I do!”

“If you do, then you should understand that it would be easy for me to reach the Eight Law Domain Lord level!”

The Little Hawk King said calmly.

Du Gang rolled his eyes, “Even if you achieve eternity next year, what does it have to do with me? You’re worth only a million Saint Crystals now!”

Little Hawk King was speechless, he understood that Du Gang was evaluating their worth based on their cultivation level.

After hesitating for a bit, he said, “My dad is a Great Power!!”

“Huh?!”

Upon hearing these words, Du Gang was slightly confused.

A Great Power?

Little Hawk King immediately raised his head proudly.

Looking at his proud expression, Du Gang shamelessly asked, “By Great Power… do you mean the God Spirit Level?”

“God Spirit Level?”

Little Hawk King showed an expression of contempt, “You are underestimating the term ‘Great Power’!”

“Do you think that anyone can simply claim to be a Great Power?!”

Du Gang had a sudden realization. He remembered the mighty figure who helped him seal the ominous True God Level power from his eyes and exclaimed, “Could your dad be a True God?!”

“True God?!”

Little Hawk King scoffed, “My dad is a power beyond a True God!”

“Boom!”

At this moment, Du Gang’s mind felt like it was hit by a magnitude 18 earthquake.

“Your dad is a power beyond a True God…”

His pupils were filled with shock, but then he quickly replied with excitement, “Good lad, you’re worth two million Saint Crystals!”

Then, he looked with disdain at Long Aotian and said, “Did you hear that? His dad is a Great Power, and you… well, let’s make a distinction, I will estimate you to be worth one and a half million Saint Crystals!”

Upon hearing these words, Long Aotian’s face turned dark.

He definitely didn’t want to converse with Du Gang, but at that moment, he couldn’t stand it anymore and blurted out, “My dad is also a Great Power!”

“Hahaha!”

Du Gang laughed loudly, “Double happiness, I won’t say much, both of you are worth two million Saint Crystals!”

“Congrats, Congrats!”

At this moment, both Little Hawk King and Long Aotian heaved a sigh of relief, their eyes full of provocation as they looked at each other!

Seeing their postures, Du Gang seemed to have found a way to make money. After thinking about it, he quickly adjusted his inner world.

He lifted the pillars binding Little Hawk King and Long Aotian up to twenty meters high, writing in bold ‘Two Million Saint Crystals’ on them.

Then, to make them feel better, he erected several other ten-meter-high pillars next to them, all with the inscription ‘One Million Saint Crystals’.

“Don’t worry, there will be someone to accompany you soon!”

Feeling elated, Du Gang left his inner world.

“With the addition of Long Aotian, I now have hostages worth four million Saint Crystals from an original one million!”

I should’ve done this earlier!

“So, I just need to capture three more individuals of the same level as them, and I should be able to pay off my debts?!”

“Three…”

Du Gang shook his head; “Not enough. It’s a rare opportunity to catch more. I don’t yet know how much energy it takes to cultivate above the God Spirit Level. I should save up some money for my future cultivation. After all, these guys all have good fathers….”

“Hmm…I also have a good dad!”

His biological father gave him life, allowed him to see this world. One should know that many sperms can’t even get the chance to come into this world in human form.)

His foster father, on the other hand, gave him an unlimited future, giving him the foundation to compete with these background-rich folks.

“Do nobles, generals, and the like have their own seeds?!”

Thinking of this, Du Gang couldn’t help but sigh, “I must carve out a territory for myself so that my son can also experience being a second-generation….”

“Wait!”

He suddenly paused, looking disheartened, “Without a single Ancient God female in the Ancient God countryside, I’m the only Ancient God in the whole universe, there’s not even a woman who can bear a child!”

At this moment, Du Gang seemed to have caught a glimpse of his future.

By then, he would have achieved the Supreme Level, and returned to Earth to retire.

“Chu Zixuan, I’ve reached the Supreme Level!”

“Oh, my 88th child just completed his first month, I’ll leave after having the full-month banquet!”

Thinking of this scene, he felt miserable.

“Why am I so pitiful!”

Du Gang howled to the sky, his face full of grief.

“Hehehe~~!!”

Unfortunately, only the monsters responded to him at this time.

Ancient God’s homeland!

“I must find a female Ancient God. According to my foster dad, it’s not the time to go to the Ancient God’s homeland yet. But once my strength is sufficient, it should be okay….”

Du Gang’s eyes began to gleam again, “There should be fair-skinned, beautiful Ancient God women bathing and waiting for me in there, right?!”

Hehehe!

And so, Du Gang laughed foolishly for over two hours until daybreak and regained his senses.

Wiping the drool from the corner of his mouth, Du Gang quickly started to climb upwards.

In the middle of climbing, Du Gang muttered to himself, “I should have flown straight to the top, so when daybreak comes, I can just go up…”

“No, I can’t let others learn about my ability to survive in the night, that would undermine potential sneak attacks!”

With these thoughts in mind, Du Gang swiftly climbed to the first platform. Checking the time, he had nearly four hours left, enough to climb to the second platform.

So, he moved again, heading directly for the second platform.

Upon arriving at the second platform, the sky had just darkened, and the world of night descended.

Besides towering trees and black monsters, there was only a one-meter-wide path on the platform.

“I should explore other places and ask the guards when the others left…”

Having nothing to do where he was, Du Gang began to walk around the platform.

After nearly two hours, he encountered a guard.

The guard was conscientious, standing straight even without anybody around, observing his surroundings meticulously.

Upon seeing Du Gang, the guard quickly bowed in respect.

Though Du Gang wasn’t a noble son of their family, anyone who could appear here must be a genius. Therefore, it was right to be polite.

After all, who knows if there might be a genius who would draw their sword if they felt disrespected?!

“Good day, young master!”

Du Gang nodded, smilingly asked: “Have you encountered other people here?!”

The guard shook his head, “No, I came here a month ago. After arriving, I was stationed on the second platform!”

“Understood!”

Following this, Du Gang continued to walk down the one-meter-wide platform aisle, preparing to find other guards to question further.

At the moment, he felt like a phantom that didn’t exist in this world. Sometimes, he would even pass right through monsters without any reaction from either party.

This time, it took him about three hours before he finally ran into some guards — not just one, but four or five of them, all dressed in different family uniforms.

“We didn’t encounter anyone during the day, but at night, there’s often a youth carrying a coffin who falls from the sky…”

A Youth carrying a coffin?

Du Gang paused, recalling the legend he had heard about the Dark Ghost Body.

“Are you sure it’s at night?”

The guards nodded, their faces filled with horror and apprehension, “Yes, that youth always leads a group of monsters flying downwards. It’s terrifying…”

The mountain was vast and this place was far from where Du Gang originally started, so it was normal not to know that someone had been running down into the world of the night from above.

After asking some more questions about other prodigies, and confirming that there was no useful information, Du Gang resumed his journey, continuing along the pathway.

This time, he didn’t go far before daybreak came.

In response, Du Gang continued his ascent.

This time, he had a strange feeling.

Each time he climbed a certain distance, a surge of power would emerge within him.

“What is this…?”

Upon careful inspection, he realized that this power wasn’t external but originated within his body!

“Mountain climbing can refine the power within my body?!”

Du Gang looked surprised. He hadn’t expected that the simple act of mountain climbing could have such an effect.

Once the refined power emerged, his body would once again draw strength from the void, incorporating it into himself.

Effectively, climbing the mountain not only purified Du Gang’s power but also enhanced it.

“Such benefits!”

With this in mind, Du Gang quickly dismissed the idea of actively seeking others and began to climb in peace.

They would inevitably meet at the top, so he would deal with it then. For now, he focused on the tangible benefits in sight.

So Du Gang established a simple and steady routine — work at sunrise and rest at sunset.

Of course, it wasn’t long — just by the tenth platform — when he ran into eight people.

Among the eight, besides Yu Shuiyao and the other two from whom he’d separated, there were five prodigious teenagers.

“Did you wait for me here?!”

Just as he reached the platform, Du Gang burst out laughing.

Yu Shuiyao and Yao Zijie reacted at the same time, one looked vigilant, the other scared, subconsciously distancing themselves from him.

The other five boys were initially taken aback, not knowing who this man was. But soon, recognizing him by his face, they exclaimed: “Ancient God Du Gang?!”

At this moment, Qiao Jin answered Du Gang’s question.

“It’s not exactly that we were waiting for you. There’s a difficulty at the eleventh platform…”

He gestured towards the next level and said, “The next platform isn’t too far, just ten thousand meters. But climbing from here, an inexplicable force emerges, constantly suppressing us, that slows down our climbing speed. Even in six hours, we can’t reach the top!”

They had all tried, essentially three to four times, each time intentionally falling as night approached.

A fall was necessary because if they didn’t, they would enter the world of the night. Survival then would be difficult.

Ignoring Du Gang’s question, Yu Shuiyao coldly asked, “What did you do to Long Aotian?!”

Du Gang didn’t hesitate for a moment and adapted a counter-questioning approach, “What did I do to him?”

He immediately followed with another question, “Who are you to him that you’re so concerned?!”

“You…”

Yu Shuiyao was somewhat angry, “Long Aotian is dead. Don’t you know? You dare to use his name to crack jokes….”

Du Gang froze, and asked, “He’s dead? How do you know he’s dead?!”

“Didn’t you see? That night, Long Aotian, facing death, flew upwards towards the sky…”

“He didn’t come back down in the end, doesn’t that prove it?!”

Du Gang laughed, “You, why are you like this? Long Aotian is magnificent and domineering, why would you curse him to death?”

“I think Long Aotian is so powerful that maybe he has flown to a secret realm and obtained some benefits!”

“Secret realm?”

“Benefits?!”

Yu Shuiyao was stunned. She hadn’t considered this possibility. Not just her, all three of them had assumed that Long Aotian was dead.

Upon hearing Du Gang’s words, this possibility seemed plausible.

At this moment, the other five teenagers looked as if they spotted a juicy piece of gossip, and came over to ask, “Yu Shuiyao, why did you ask him about what happened to Long Aotian?”

“Could there be some hidden truth?!”

They all had witnessed Long Aotian’s meteoric ascent a few days ago. But due to the distance, they didn’t know what happened to him afterwards.

From sensing a God Spirit Level creature appear, and then Long Aotian’s aura disappearing, they generally guessed that Long Aotian was dead.

Du Gang reminded them, “Don’t speak about things without evidence. Your careless words could harm many people.”

Yu Shuiyao twitched the corner of her mouth, her elegant red lips moved slightly, but she didn’t say anything in the end.

The five of them looked regretful as they thought they could hear some sensational news.

“Buzz!”

Their conversation didn’t last long; the sky darkened once again.

Yu Shuiyao and Yao Zijie instinctively moved away from the group, and stood at a secluded area.

Seeing their moves, Du Gang smirked and didn’t bother with them, instead he joined the group of five teenagers enthusiastically.

“I am Du Gang, a divine body. May I know who you are?”

He did this deliberately, trying to figure out what kind of constitution these five had, and then decide his next target!

The five had no other thoughts. Seeing Du Gang’s self-introduction, they immediately started introducing themselves.

To his disappointment, these five were not of a special constitution, they were merely top-level prodigies.

Of course, compared to ordinary people, they were indeed top-level prodigies, only falling short when compared to those with special constitutions.

The group began to chat, with Du Gang intentionally steering the conversation towards what he wanted to know.

“I heard that Little Hawk King’s father is a Great Power?”

Once he asked this, the other five people immediately sighed deeply.

“Yes, his father is indeed a Great Power…”

“Usually, the stronger a direct elder is, the more likely they are to produce powerful offspring…”

Du Gang continued, “What about Long Aotian then? Is his father also a Great Power?”

The five individuals didn’t expect Ancient God to be so talkative, and as they were also interested in making contact, without thinking too much, they answered with laughter.

“Yes, Long Aotian’s father is no simple man. He was quite famous back then…”

After confirming that both captives had Great Power fathers, Du Gang began to probe their backgrounds.

He looked at Yu Shuiyao, who was still on high alert, and laughed, “Yu Shuiyao, is your father a Great Power too?”

Upon hearing this, Yu Shuiyao’s expression cooled, “That’s none of your business!”

Du Gang laughed heartily, “I’m just considering whether or not to propose to you. If your dad is too powerful, I wouldn’t dare to knock on your door…”

Since he had decided to kidnap people for riches, he dug another pit, ready for the news to spread out and for those who adored Yu Shuiyao to take the bait.

As expected, the other five people showed very excited expressions, as if they had heard some explosive news.

Seeing their expressions, Du Gang felt relieved because anyone with such an expression surely had friends who liked to brag. That meant today’s events would naturally be spread around.

“Shameless!”

Yu Shuiyao was angry and wanted to punch Du Gang, but since everyone here was just ordinary people without any power, she stomped her foot in frustration and stormed off.

“Hahaha.”

“Hehehe.”

The people present started laughing. Except for Yao Zijie who remained cautious, others showed a knowing smirk.

In the course of conversation, Du Gang roughly judged from their tone that their parents didn’t have much strength, while some were merely at the God Spirit Level.

Although these people weren’t the special ones, they were indeed top-level prodigies, all possessing the power of Four Law Domain Masters, and were all direct disciples. Kidnapping them would also fetch some money.

However, their friendly chat made Du Gang feel bad about making a move. As the saying goes, “One should not strike a smiling man.”

He did not know how to put on a different face instantly. Or to put it in another way, he wasn’t capable of doing so yet.

“Brother Du, once we get out, I’ll invite you to Tianxiang Pavilion. The ladies there, wow…”

“Sigh.”

Du Gang let out a sigh — both for the fact that he is still a virgin and for feeling too guilty to make his move since he was too close to everyone.

It seems that he shouldn’t get too close to these people in the future, or he really wouldn’t be able to make a move!

He pondered over it. The next time he met other extraordinary youths, he should appear a bit more aloof.

Or should he act high and mighty like Long Aotian and Little Hawk King, and deliberately attract hatred?!

After thinking about it, he finally shook his head. He was not that kind of person, and even if he tried to act, he wouldn’t pull it off. Instead, if he ended up looking ridiculous, it wouldn’t be good.

“Brother Du, when the sky lightens up, you should try too. This eleventh-level platform, although difficult to climb, indeed does great benefits to the body…”

“Even though we’re still here, our body strength is significantly enhanced compared to before!”

“Alright!” Hearing these friendly words, Du Gang had extinguished the idea of trapping these five individuals in his inner world. And like friends, they began to chat.

As for kidnapping, he would wait till daylight, when they separated, to kidnap others!
