371: Detecting the luck, the giant bird was shocked

Upon hearing this, the leading cloaked man's expression improved considerably. At least this request was to suppress the fight to the same realm, rather than directly facing these several demonic beasts of unknown cultivation.

He shot a look at one of his subordinates, who trembled, but the Shì Tiān Alliance's rules were strict.

Disobeying an order would surely result in punishment, and just thinking about it sent shivers down his spine.

The strong expert who was sent out stared with utmost solemnity at the giant bear, which was like a small mountain, not daring to be negligent.

The giant bear, however, grinned, exhaled two streams of hot air from its nose, and fixed its murderous gaze on the opponent before suddenly moving.

Bang.

With just one palm strike, that Quasi Immortal Emperor expert was sent flying backward, coughing up blood, his expression filled with horror.

This was not the end; the giant bear surged again, launching two consecutive palm strikes, directly pulverizing the black-cloaked man into a bloody mess, who then fell from the void.

Hiss, hiss, hiss.

Seeing this scene, the black-cloaked men watching from afar couldn't help but tremble, drawing in a sharp breath.

They never would have imagined that in just a few breaths, their former comrade would be dead on the spot, utterly beyond saving.

Even the leader swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and after a long while, he asked, "Seniors, if I am not an opponent, may I withdraw midway and spare my life?"

The reason he asked this was, of course, because he wanted to try it himself. After all, the heart of origin was most likely in the depths of this world.

If he couldn't pass this trial, then the task assigned by the higher-up would be ruined, with unimaginable consequences.

"Hehe, young man, your idea is quite good. Since that's the case, I will grant your wish!"

The giant bear's eyes held a hint of ferocity, naturally guessing the other party's thoughts, and responded.

Hearing the other party agree, the leader braced himself and activated the power within his body, watching the approaching behemoth with full vigilance.

He launched the first attack, appearing very skillfully behind the opponent, and a pitch-black palm struck fiercely onto the giant bear's body.

Bang.

But the next moment, his figure was repelled by a terrifying rebound force, and he stared in disbelief at the body that he had struck with all his might yet remained completely unharmed.

Is that all?

The giant bear felt as if it had been bitten by a mosquito, and it watched the opponent with a disdainful expression.

The leader was naturally unwilling to give up, and he subsequently exhausted all his abilities, unleashing all his killing moves, but he was still unable to break through the giant bear's defense.

After a while, he finally stopped, panting, his mind in turmoil, finding it hard to imagine that this was the physical body and strength that a strong expert of the same realm could possess.

But the giant bear seemed to give the other party no chance to breathe, raising its right paw and directly shattering the surrounding space, carrying an unstoppable momentum as it fiercely swatted him away.

In fact, the moment the giant bear made its move, the leader quickly begged for mercy, but it was too late, and he could only try his best to resist.

But he still underestimated the opponent's strength; this palm strike directly caused him to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, his aura instantly plummeted, and he was sent flying thousands of feet away before he could barely stabilize his figure.

Because it had previously agreed to the other party, the giant bear could only grudgingly stop, watching the leader, who had already lost his fighting capability, with cold eyes.

After feeling the opponent's soul-stirring gaze, the latter quickly led his subordinates away from this world and returned outside the barrier.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, looking with lingering fear at the blurry giant shadow within the barrier.

He knew that with the abilities of his group, they clearly couldn't break through the opponent's obstruction, so they could only wait for that flying sect to emerge.

Regardless of whether the other party had obtained the heart of origin, they would eventually pass through this place, so they just needed to wait patiently.

As for whether they could take down the other party, that was not within his consideration. In his opinion, the reason the other party could pass was due to the restrictions of the rules.

Even if someone had outstanding combat power and managed to pass by luck, their strength would ultimately be below the Immortal Emperor.

Indeed, the reason why the Ancient Immortal Source Realm did not have higher-level strong experts entering was naturally due to realm restrictions; only strong experts below the Immortal Emperor could enter it.

And the reason he was able to circumvent this was entirely by relying on the great figures within the Shì Tiān Alliance who used special means to avoid the power of the laws.

To be even safer, he, a Mid-stage Immortal Emperor, was personally dispatched, which showed extreme caution.

However, the information they possessed was only a tiny bit; they didn't even know there were guardians. But in the leader's view, they still had a chance.

In his heart, he even hoped that the people from that flying sect could successfully seize the heart of origin, making a wedding dress for them... As they delved deeper, the Cyan-Blue Giant Bird's speed also slowed down, and everything that appeared before them was quite shocking.

A purplish-blue pillar of light pierced through the heavens and earth, emitting dazzling radiance. Upon closer inspection, a brilliant crystal floated at the very center of the light pillar, from which a unique Dao rhythm emanated.

Around the light pillar, there was also a stream of flowing light, like gas, which Bai Muqing recognized at a glance as the accompanying source energy.

The Cyan-Blue Giant Bird looked at the pillar of light before it, its eyes hazy, and said, "This is the heart of origin you seek, but to obtain it, you still need to pass a test."

It glanced at Luo Qinglian and the others nearby, and after finding that they had no objections, it directly swept down to a waterfall in front of them.

On the bank of the turbulent river, an ordinary gray giant stone lay quietly.

"This is the luck stone. Only those who seize the fortune of heaven and earth and possess unique destiny can gain its recognition. This is also a necessary condition to determine whether you can obtain the heart of origin."

After the Cyan-Blue Giant Bird finished speaking, it soared into the sky again, looking at the several people with some anticipation.

Fang Qingshan took the lead, also wanting to see what was so mysterious about this luck stone.

He felt an intuition, directly placed his hand on the stone's surface, activated his Eternal Undying Body, and injected a surge of spiritual power into it.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

The originally unremarkable gray giant stone, upon receiving Fang Qingshan's power, emitted a soft hum, and the stone's surface began to glow faintly.

Seeing this scene, the Cyan-Blue Giant Bird seemed to sigh with some disappointment.

But before it could speak, Fang Qingshan frowned deeply, let out a loud shout, and surges of scorching spiritual power frantically poured into the luck stone.

The giant stone couldn't help but begin to shake, and finally, under the giant bird's horrified gaze, a golden pillar of light shot out, scattering countless light specks and dyeing the entire sky a light golden color.

This is?

The Cyan-Blue Giant Bird looked at this scene in disbelief, its voice slightly trembling as it murmured, "Child... Child of Luck?"

It kept repeating these four words, unable to calm down for a long time, knowing all too well what these four words represented.

It meant that this young man in front of it was a Child of Luck with great fortune, and his future achievements would be limitless.

Although the Chang Sheng Sect disciples didn't quite understand the meaning of this, they were also incredibly amazed by this shocking scene.

Fang Qingshan slowly withdrew the spiritual power within his body and asked the Cyan-Blue Giant Bird, "Senior, does this count as me passing?"

Hearing this, the giant bird came back to its senses, nodded somewhat blankly, and then its gaze shifted to the other three young men, especially the most terrifying Luo Qinglian.

Could it be that all these people are rare Children of Destiny, beings who might reach the peak in the future?

It thought with some hesitation until Mo Lingxiao walked to the giant stone, and then it shifted its gaze.

Boom.

The next moment, another pillar of light shot into the sky, appearing fiery red, with red clouds filling the sky. For a moment, the Cyan-Blue Giant Bird's gaze was dull, staring blankly at the sky.
