Three months later.
Inside an arid land, it appeared Tian Lei was in a fight.
His opponent was currently an energy body with the form of a gigantic ferocious beast with one long horn on its head.
The strength of this beast energy body cannot be underestimated as its strength is equivalent to that of a 5-star Great Ruler expert.
Even though with Tian Lei's strength he was definitely able to defeat this ferocious beast, he had to go through a fight for over thirty minutes with the beast's energy body.
In these three months, Tian Lei had managed to collect nearly a thousand purple gems from the entire area he had visited in this time.
He planned to gather even more purple gems and would absorb them all when the amount of those purple gems was enough to bring him through a three-star Great Lord.
.
Bang out!!
Tian Lei was currently punching the energy body of a savage beast with his incredible destruction energy and making that energy body take a hit back.
Tian Lei then made the destruction energy re-ignite in his body and jumped high into the air to unleash a final attack.
Now the smoldering energy of destruction in Tian Lei's body had now started to rapidly spin and finally formed the form of a gigantic dragon head that enveloped Tian Lei's body.
Tian Lei immediately advanced his hand and made the head of this destruction dragon immediately shot down to attack the energy body of the ferocious beast.
Bang!!!
The dragon head of destruction finally managed to hit the energy body of the savage beast and made it disappear leaving only the purple gem that had a higher intensity many times that of the other purple gems.
Tian Lei landed on a huge hole as the impact of his attack earlier and started lowering his hands to pick up the purple gem on the ground.
Tian Lei then smiled as he looked at the purple gem closer to his eyes. "Good, with all this, I'm sure I'll be able to break through 3-star!..." Said Tian Lei happily.
Tian Lei then saw an arid land hill that was quite high and began to dart towards the top of the hill.
Tian Lei then took out all the purple gems he had collected in these two months and sat cross-legged in the middle of the pile of purple gems.
A vortex of darkness finally appeared behind his back and showed a suction that could devour anything into it.
Tian Lei then began to close his eyes and began cultivating to absorb the thousands of purple gems around him in aid with the boundless seal of darkness behind his back.
.
Three months had passed since Tian Lei started his cultivation to make a breakthrough to a 3-star Great Lord.
While Tian Lei was busy to improve his cultivation, in these past six months, Sun Tian had not been too focused on gathering as many purple gems as possible to increase his cultivation.
From the very beginning of him setting foot into this place, Sun Tian had felt a tremor in his golden ape soul. It's like something's calling him somewhere, but he's not so clear about the exact location of the thing.
Therefore, Sun Tian explored every place and now he finally seemed to have found something that called out to him.
The place in the direction of Sun Tian's sharp eye gaze was an area like a giant hole with a depth of tens of meters. This place deserves to be called a fortress.
Sun Tian had actually been at the top of this hill and noticed the giant hole since a few hours ago.
He actually wanted to approach the big hole when he first saw it, but there was something that made him have to think hard to really get close to the big hole or not.
The thing that was bothering Sun Tian's mind was also actually not so clear, only his heart felt uneasy like if he really approached even closer, then he would be faced with a disaster.
But, after several hours of monitoring the situation while thinking hard, Sun Tian finally dispelled the uneasiness in his heart and decided to move into the huge hole ahead there.
Sun Tian now immediately jumped up and flew very quickly towards the edge of the large hole and stood there with a sharp gaze leading into the hole.
When he had only momentarily gazed into the center of the hole, Sun Tian immediately widened his eyes in shock.
In the center of the hole, Sun Tian could see a giant stick with a surface like black ground cracking there was also magma flowing in cracks on the surface of the giant stick.
This stick was eight meters tall with its bottom stuck into the ground two meters deep, so the length of this giant stick was about ten meters.
From the very beginning Sun Tian stared clearly at the giant stick, Sun Tian could already sense that it was this giant stick that called out to him. And clearly this was Emperor Sun Wu's legacy!
Amidst his soul and body shaking violently, Sun Tian now began to gulp down his saliva and subconsciously began to jump into the huge hole.
When it had landed in this huge hole, Sun Tian immediately walked up excitedly to approach the giant stick ahead there.
Just a meter away with the giant staff in front of him, Sun Tian now stared at the giant stick with admiration and respect.
Slowly, Sun Tian began to raise his hand and stick his right palm onto the surface of the stick.
When Sun Tian's palm had come into contact with the surface of the giant stick, the giant stick began to show tremors even to the point of shaking the ground around it.
Bang!!!
Just before the vibration creates a stronger vibration, a demonic energy started to come out from within the ground just below the staff and charged towards Sun Tian's body until he was thrown towards the sky and out of the huge hole.
Sun Tian immediately controlled his body and landed well on the ground, he then wiped the blood on his lips and looked forward.
"What the fuck?..." Said Sun Tian softly with a slightly breath of gasping.
Then, a demonic aura immediately filled the entire large hole and three red-skinned figures with terrifying appearances started to come out of the hole to face Sun Tian.
These three figures had human-like forms but they had red skin with natural armor formed from their demonic energy.
Their appearance was monstrous like a monster but it was also probably more terrifying than a monster.
When staring at them, there was only one word that was suitable to describe it.
The terror!
Right now what Sun Tian saw was a terrifying terror!
