Yang Ran slowly opened his eyes and stood up. He spread out his left and right palms, and the demonic energy and true energy spread quietly on them. They were countless times more powerful than before!

At this moment, he just wanted to stand up and roar, because after this night of painful torture, his body's cultivation has also improved greatly!

Half step to the divine bridge realm!

Although the bone-eroding demonic wind caused Yang Ran to suffer from being cut by a knife, it also allowed him to successfully step from the peak of the Star Sea Realm to the Divine Bridge Realm!

Although he has not yet truly entered the Divine Bridge Realm, his half-step to the Divine Bridge Realm is far from being comparable to the peak of the Star Sea Realm!

In the past, relying on the late stage of the Star Sea Realm, Yang Ran was in a situation of being completely suppressed when facing the Zuo Shi who was in the Half-Step Divine Bridge Realm.

After he reaches the pinnacle of the Star Sea Realm, with his pure spiritual energy and many tricks, he can still fight even against the level 1 or 2 Shenqiao Realm.

But now, having entered the half-step of the Divine Bridge Realm, Yang Ran is confident that even if he faces the third or fourth level of the Divine Bridge Realm, he has the ability to compete head-on!

This is the difference between the Half-Step Divine Bridge Realm and the Peak Star Sea Realm!

No matter how powerful the peak of the Star Sea Realm is, it will be difficult to challenge the Divine Bridge Realm, but once you step into the latter realm, your strength will increase exponentially, even dozens of times!

Thinking of this, Yang Ran felt that the pain he suffered yesterday was worth it. Stepping into the Divine Bridge Realm meant that in the future, he would become one of the strongest in the Southern Territory and even the entire Yunxiao Continent, and at least he would have the strength to save his life.

Now, he happens to have two Emperor Beads in his hand. If the time is right to absorb them again, then I believe he will be able to completely enter the realm of Shenqiao Realm!

"This bone-corroding demonic wind is really an excellent tool for tempering the flesh and body. Even my body has made such obvious progress. The wandering clone has a wind spirit bead embedded in it, and most of the wind-attributed spiritual energy has been absorbed by it.

Presumably progress will be even more terrifying.”

Yang Ran thought to himself, and cast his fiery gaze on the fugue clone covered by gray-black ice.

He really wanted to know what state this wandering clone had reached after this night!

"Click..."

Just when Yang Ran looked over, under the sunlight, cracks suddenly appeared on the ice.

The ice slid down quickly, and as the ice fell, a jade-like color slowly appeared.

The ice fell rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, a human-shaped jade stone appeared on the mountain peak, reflecting an extremely bright luster under the sunlight.

"call……"

A breath of blood was spat out from the mouth of Yang Ran's clone, and then, the closed eyes slowly opened.

He opened his eyes, and what was surprising was that both pupils turned into jade at this moment. Vaguely, there were flames lingering in the left eye, and a strong wind howling in the right eye.

The fire of Nirvana and the bone-corroding demonic wind, these two extreme auras, have already been integrated into the bloodline of the clone during the tempering process!

In the future, if there is a battle, these two terrifying auras alone will make the opponent extremely uncomfortable.

Yang Ran looked at the exact same self in front of him, with a smile on his face.

The pinnacle of Xuanming Realm!

Although he failed to refine the clone, he was able to achieve such results in just one night, which made Yang Ran extremely satisfied.

If those guys from the Green Snake Clan saw it, they would probably spit out a mouthful of old blood immediately. They had been tempering for so long, but they still couldn't raise the clone to such a state, but Yang Ran only spent one night.

"Ha ha!"

Two identical faces looked at each other for a long time, and finally both raised their heads and laughed. For a moment, clear laughter resounded in the vast area, and lasted for a long time...

The clone is formed by the condensation of witchcraft energy in Yang Ran's body, that is, the power of his soul has penetrated into it. This wonderful feeling is like having an extra self in the world. All thoughts and ideas are understood, making Yang Ran think...

I was amazed at the magic of this martial arts for a long time.

Of course, this clone cannot provide much combat power for the time being, but it can't do it now, which doesn't mean it can't do it in the future.

After calming down his mind and taking the clone into his body, Yang Ran did not dare to stay any longer and ran straight towards the core area to the north.

Due to condensing and tempering clones, he has wasted a lot of time here. If he doesn't rush over, he may miss the treasures of heaven and earth on the task list.

At that time, the Wilderness Ancient Forest was a mountain range and wild forest, and the area was quite vast. However, these days, Yang Ran also consciously rushed north, so now he is only less than half a day's journey from the so-called core area.

Along the way, Yang Ran met many other contestants. Most of them stayed away after seeing him, obviously worried that he would suddenly take action.

This kind of thing is not uncommon in the wild ancient forest. After all, everyone here is a competitor. If there is one less person, then your own chances will be improved by one point.

Therefore, almost everyone has some wariness and ill intentions towards other people.

Yang Ran didn't pay much attention to these guys who were avoiding them.

These people did not pose a threat to him, so he did not take action against them like he had done to Snake Qiansha before. He just glanced at them briefly and quickly swooped away.

Of course, not all contestants were like this. While on the road, Yang Ran actually met several strong men who had also reached the level of the Star Sea Realm, and even met the descendants of the guardian family.

Yang Ran did not take the initiative to take action against these people, but fortunately those guys were also sensible. When they met Yang Ran, they also vaguely realized that the latter was not easy to provoke, so after looking at each other from a distance, they went to each other.

Dodge and get out of the way.

Without the obstruction of these people, Yang Ran's journey was extremely smooth. Except for two attacks by powerful monsters along the way, everything seemed to be extremely smooth.

As for the two monster beasts that attacked Yang Ran, Yang Ran was a little surprised.

Because he discovered that the closer to the core area, the monsters became more violent and ferocious, and even their eyes were blood red. It was obvious that although this core area contained many treasures of heaven and earth, it was by no means a good place.

Except for the two attacking monsters, Yang Ran had never encountered any other obstruction. Therefore, after spending nearly four or five hours on the road, the so-called core area finally came into Yang Ran's sight.

What caught Yang Ran's eyes was a vast and boundless forest.

The entire forest was vast and boundless, almost comparable to a small city. Yang Ran looked at the map and realized that this ancient forest had a daunting name - the Forest of Death.

The entire forest of death was shrouded in a thick dark red mist, making it look particularly strange and terrifying.
