Towards the Path of Heaven
Chapter 297

A disciple of a second-rate power actually had the possibility to take the treasures of Heaven and Earth and successfully return. Naturally, these first-rate power geniuses found it hard to accept.

Hence, some of them even secretly cursed, hoping that the Cauldron above Yan Chutian's head would dim as quickly as possible, making him careless.

However, they did not expect that when they cursed, Yan Chutian did not stop in front of the first Heaven and Earth treasure. Instead, he continued walking backwards.

This made their gaze stagnate at first, then they revealed joyous and mocking expressions.

"Haha ... This second-rate troop student is completely insane. He really wanted to keep going!"

"Compense! It was already a great fortune to be able to take the treasures of Heaven and Earth. He really kept going deeper. Does he really think he's so good?!"

"Even the geniuses from the top eight first-rate armies did not dare to do this. Could it be that this second-rate troop disciple thinks he is stronger than them?"

"…"

Not only were the geniuses watching, but even the geniuses who had survived on the small mountain and started returning as quickly as possible were suddenly stunned at this moment. Many incomprehensible gazes were constantly directed.

They acknowledged that Yan Chutian, who came from a second-rate army, could actually survive to this day. That surprised them so much. However, no matter how surprised they were, even they could take the treasures of Heaven and Earth at will and return. However, the other party actually continued to go deeper?

Other than being shocked, these geniuses gently shook their heads without exception. According to them, Yan Chutian was too arrogant. Even if there were Heaven and Earth treasures in the depths of this small mountain, he would still have to act as per his ability.

Now, he was undoubtedly seeking death!

After shaking their heads, they did not stay any longer as there was not much time left for them. If they delayed any longer, they were afraid that even they would not be able to get out of this place where opportunity and danger coexisted.

At this moment, Yan Chutian completely ignored the outside world. In his eyes, there was only a Lotus.

He had to obtain the Lotus, even if he had to face great danger. Perhaps this seemed very foolish to outsiders, and it did not match his usual calm temperament.

However, as it concerned Qiu Yu, he could not think too much about it.

As he walked forward with great difficulty, the cauldron above his head dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although the quality of his spirit runes was extremely high, he was unable to endure and eventually faded away.

With the loss of the Cauldron, Yan Chutian could only summon the third spirit rune, namely the Dragon Rune.

A dazzling flame appeared. As the flame surged, it blurred his body. Only his four limbs could be faintly seen, but it was impossible to discern his true appearance.

The appearance of the Dragon Rune greatly reduced the pressure on Yan Chutian, and he continued advancing.

At the same time, the witnessing genius was startled by the appearance of the third spirit rune on Yan Chutian's head. However, they were not too surprised. Instead, they smiled coldly.

They couldn't see what Yan Chutian's third spirit rune was, but they didn't need to care about it. Before returning, he had already executed the final spirit rune. In their eyes, the current Yan Chutian was no different from a dead person!

Many geniuses from before had already proven this principle. If the third and final Runes had been released but had not returned, they would have already turned into a small mountain of dust by now.

Now that the results were confirmed, other than ridiculing for overestimating one's own abilities, all the watching geniuses turned their gazes towards the genius who had obtained the heavenly treasures and returned at high speed.

They were all looking forward to seeing if one could actually take out a single piece of Heavenly Treasure from a small mountain.

"NO …!"

Suddenly, a painful roar sounded. Looking up, one could see a genius from a first-rate power staring into the sky. At this moment, the gigantic tiger spirit rune hovering above his head swiftly dimmed.

Moments after he roared, a gigantic tiger spirit rune swept back and disappeared before his eyes.

At this moment, his expression became extremely frightening, and he wanted to rush out of that small mountain. However, the spirit rune had already disappeared, so how could he still be able to move?

After a while, he fell to the ground. Strange clumps of black gas burst out from his body and gathered at the edge of a small mountain. As for his body, it turned into dust.

This genius is no exception. The more geniuses came out, the fainter the spirit runes that floated above their heads. Without exception, all of these spirit runes were their third and final spirit runes.

Once the spirit runes disappeared, how could they survive? Even if they took a few steps forward, it would not change the end result. They would all turn into black gas and dust.

"The Demon Sword Spirit Runner!"

However, it was not because none of the geniuses had succeeded. The geniuses from the Demon Killing Hall gritted their teeth and roared. The originally dim spirit rune shone brightly again, causing his retreating body to accelerate again. Finally, before the spirit runes in his head dimmed, he retreated from the small mountain.

However, after retreating, his face became extremely pale, and the power of the spirit runes grew weaker.

If the watching genius made a move to snatch it, he probably wouldn't be able to fight back at all.

However, the genius watching struggled and did not move in the end. First, as geniuses, they had their own self-esteem and were underestimated so despicable.

Secondly, this genius was from the Demon Killing Hall, which was one of the top eight first-rate powers. This makes them alert.

Soon after, the other geniuses from the Demon Killing Hall managed to return from the small mountain, his life hanging by a thread.

However, the situation was even worse than the first one. His body was injured, and he hurriedly consumed a precious elixir to stabilize himself.

He was a genius from the Star Moon Palace!

The two geniuses had paid a great price to take the treasures from that small mountain. However, other than envy, the people around him did nothing else.

Seeing the two geniuses in such circumstances, they could not help but give up on trying to reach the shore. This was because it seemed like they were only seeking their own death.

Other than the two geniuses, everyone had died on that small mountain. They and the treasures they obtained had all been turned into dust.

"Hmm, that second-rate troop student still survives ?!"

Suddenly, a low cry of surprise sounded. Everyone turned their heads and saw that there was indeed a thin and small figure that was slowly returning from the small mountain.

They couldn't help but be surprised. Other than those two geniuses, everyone had died on that small mountain. But, is he still alive?

"What kind of spirit rune was in his head? It can last so long?!"
