Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 226

A towering tree right before their eyes. Seeing such a spectacular and shocking scene, without even thinking, the four of them would inevitably think of the Star Tree.

The following scene also confirmed the identity of the Star Tree. As far as the eyes could see, there were already countless genius figures standing around the Star Tree that were like huge pillars propping up the sky.

Just like Yan Chutian and the other three, their eyes were also filled with light as they looked at the towering tree in front with excitement and excitement. It was a Star Tree!

However, no matter how excited they were, it seemed that no one was acting rashly at the moment, nor did anyone intend to jump and snatch the glowing star skull on the treetop that was over 300 meters tall.

It seems like everyone is waiting for something …

It is not difficult to imagine that it is not easy to snatch a star skull, and there should even be some secrets hidden in it. However, it was clear that even the Tianji Sect, which could be considered a second-rate power, had no destiny to know such a secret.

However, at this moment, Yan Ningzhu seemed to have thought of something and immediately said, "I heard from a senior sister of the Hundred Flowers Palace that if one wanted to get a star skull under the Star Tree, one would have to, not only had to experience the competition between geniuses, more importantly, one had to abide by the rules of the Star Tree!"

"Abid the Star Tree rules?"

Yan Chutian looked at the towering tree in front of him, and a strand of curiosity appeared between his eyebrows. Look, this Star Tree is really not simple.

While the group of four Yan Chutian was waiting quietly, there were still geniuses rushing from all directions in an endless stream, and they ended up gathering under the Star Tree.

These geniuses who had arrived late were mostly at the very bottom of the second-rate troops or had weaker statuses. As for those of lower rank, like the geniuses of the third grade army, not many so-called geniuses could arrive here.

In such a group, there was a burly man who was completely tanned, and his face and body were covered in scars of various sizes.

When this tanned burly man looked at the towering tree in front of him, he could not help but reveal an expression of pleasant surprise. Even to the point that tears involuntarily flowed out of his eyes due to his excitement.

"I. .. I, Hong Gu, have finally arrived at the Star Tree after passing through the dangers on the outskirts of the Star Valley!"

This tanned and muscular man was Hong Gu. He had changed from a white-faced ghost to his current appearance. It was not hard to imagine what he had encountered in the past month.

As for Xue Hongyu and Shilong who were following him, if unfortunately they did not die, they would definitely not be able to hold on and retreat earlier. They only had to wait for the spirit boat of the five regions to descend again two months later and leave with failure.

Returning to the topic, looking at the scene before him, the excited Hong Gu could no longer contain his excitement. He could not help but want to scream in surprise.

The road is full of danger. If not for his incredible strength and luck, it would have been extremely difficult for him to reach this step. He had long since given up like Xue Hongyu and Shilong.

Since he was already in such a situation, he believed that the situation of Yan Chutian and the others would definitely get worse. Not to mention whether they could reach the Star Tree, whether they were still alive was another matter.

He would definitely be the only genius of the Heavenly Fate Sect to stand out in this test!

After waiting for about half a day, the originally silent scene finally changed. On the crown of the Star Tree, there was actually a stone platform that was slowly descending. As far as the eye could see, the number of stone platforms was innumerable, as if they were countless.

And this stone platform of different sizes happened to form a path leading to the crown of the tree. However, those with sharp eyes could clearly see that the closer to the top of the tree, the fewer the stone platforms, and the breadth continued to decrease.

Even without saying anything, this appearance allowed one to see his intentions with a single glance.

"So this is the rule of the Star Tree …"

Yan Chutian silently muttered to himself. How could he not understand that this Star Tree was clearly set up with a complex series of grand formations? If one wanted to obtain a star skull, he could only follow the rules.

And if one were to follow the rules, it was doomed that only a few people would be able to obtain a star skull in the end. The other guys will be eliminated.

However, from a certain point of view, this was the rule of this world. The weak were strong prey, and it had already happened for countless years.

After knowing the rules in front of him, Yan Chutian quickly said, "As we climb up the stone platform later, the four of us will try to stay together as much as possible. This way, no matter what situation we face, we can take care of each other."

However, as soon as Yan Chutian's voice came down, he had a bad premonition in his heart before he heard the three women's answers. Somehow, he felt that the situation would not be as good as he had imagined.

And as if to confirm Yan Chutian's premonition, when the four of them rushed to the first stone platform, a wave of spatial distortion suddenly appeared on each large stone platform closest to the ground.

When Yan Chutian opened his eyes, as expected, the three women beside him had disappeared. Instead, some unknown genius figures appeared.

The faces of these geniuses were also filled with confusion. Then, be vigilant. Clearly, he was facing the same situation as Yan Chutian.

"As expected, I can only rely on myself...!"

Yan Chutian whispered to himself again. As expected, the rules set by the Star Tree were not simple. He was afraid that every time he ascended to a higher stone platform, he would have to go through the same spatial teleportation.

In this way, all possible cooperation is cut off. He could only rely on himself to stand out and rise to the top.

Hence, Yan Chutian no longer cared about the other three women. Because there's no point in caring. The only thing he cared about now was his own situation.

However, although this could cut many possibilities beyond one person, a careless mistake could result in many disciples with the same strength being sent to the same stone platform as him.

At that time, the situation will be troublesome …

However, the situation on the first stone platform was clearly not as bad as Yan Chutian had expected. Hence, some of them seamlessly climbed onto the second stone platform.

However, ever since they ascended to the second stone platform, it seemed like they had adjusted to the rules. Naturally, the battle began to break out. That powerful genius began to eliminate the practitioners who thought they were weak. For a moment, spiritual energy surged everywhere, shaking the sky.

Those who were defeated would be instantly sent out of the stone platform by the spatial whirlpool. As for the winners or practitioners who were not affected would continue to rise to the next level.

During this process, everyone was surprised to find that if they defeated the others, they would be able to obtain some rewards. That was a really nice surprise.

As a result, the speed of the battle seemed to be getting faster. The number of people who were eliminated also increased greatly.

Although Yan Chutian's stone platform did not break into battle on the second stone platform, it was difficult to avoid the third stone platform. Chaotic battles broke out in an instant.

In the end, two people were eliminated from this stone platform. Yan Chutian was not eliminated. It was as if he had just gone through a movement.

However, Yan Chutian's luck would obviously end the moment he reached the fourth stone platform. When he was first sent to the stone platform, a pair of cold eyes suddenly locked him away. When Yan Chutian looked back, he saw that the owner of those cold eyes was none other than Wang Hong.

Speaking of Wang Hong, Yan Chutian did not know much about him. He only knew that he was the son of the Star Tree Lord, Wang Feng. However, Yan Chutian knew that Wang Hong would definitely not let him go. Because he was the one who ruined Wang Hong's plan to seduce Yan Ningzhu that day.

Although Yan Chutian knew that Wang Hong would not be able to seduce Yan Ningzhu no matter what, Wang Hong would definitely not think that way. He might even think that without Wang Hong, he would be able to obtain that beauty.

The situation was not beyond Yan Chutian's expectations. With cold eyes locked onto him, Wang Hong stepped forward. Although he did not say it directly, he quietly said, "The star skull is not something that any second generation can obtain. Therefore, if there is any reasonable trash, it is better to get out of here as soon as possible. Don't waste time and fool yourself!"

When speaking, Wang Hong's eyes were always on Yan Chutian. Seeing this, the people around him would certainly not interfere. They immediately handed the space and gave most of the stone platforms to the two of them.
