During these considerations, Six-Eared Macaque's complexion changed. However, it was only for a moment before he then said to Jixin, "Keep this matter under wraps, do not spread the word. Should those people find out, I fear it would bring great disaster to the Myriad Spirits Realm.

Your conjecture is correct, someone did appear back then, but that person is not one whom you can casually provoke." After speaking, he glanced at the others as a sign that this matter needed to be kept secret.

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement, and Six-Eared Macaque continued, "In any case, there is a tremendous power within Six-Eared Macaque's body that needs to be sealed, and only I am capable of sealing it. That is why I chose to set the battlefield of the Six Kingdoms War here, so that once there's an opportunity, I will completely seal that power. However, that is only one of the purposes.

The other is to see which of the strong ones nurtured by the Six Great Divine Nations have the potential to reach the end of the Supreme Path. And clearly, all of you present have made the cut!"

Before anyone else could ask, Six-Eared Macaque continued, "I will decide on the resources that Six-Eared Divine Nation will receive in the future based on each of your performances, and I will also inform the Heavenly Patroller of the rankings this time, as your names will directly affect the rewards or punishments your respective Divine Nations receive."

After finishing, he glanced at Jing Potian and said, "As for the ranking of Annihilation Demon Nation, it was originally supposed to be second. However, Jing Potian's performance has greatly dissatisfied me. Especially at the end, he lost his rationale due to the death of Yao Wumeng and forcibly used a technique that he absolutely couldn't withstand.

But he didn't consider the consequences of using that technique at all, so without my intervention, Jing Potian would have died already. If he died, then Annihilation Demon Nation's ranking would naturally be the last."

Hearing that there was such a complex situation, everyone was somewhat surprised. No wonder they had always felt a subtle sensation of being watched since entering the Sand Realm. At first, they thought it was a misconception or because of the venomous insects and fierce beasts here, but now it turned out to be the Primordial Earth Pearl!

Moreover, upon further reflection, everything they experienced seemed to be a trial, and as for those who died, it was because they lacked the qualifications and potential to reach the end of the Supreme Path, so naturally, they were eliminated.

Those who couldn't survive the pursuit of Black Mirror Scorpions and Tongtian Worms didn't deserve pity.

"However, among these, the Six-Eared Macaque from Netherworld World and Lin Xi from Genesis Divine Nation performed very well, especially Six-Eared Macaque, who had already sensed my purpose right at the start of the Six Kingdoms War and took a series of actions to verify his thoughts.

Hence, I was afraid he might interfere with your battles, so I captured him and brought him underground in the City of Ruins, and explained everything to him!"

"No wonder that monkey Six-Eared had so many chances to kill me during our battle but always missed the opportunity. I thought he was nothing remarkable, but now it looks like he was using me to confirm his speculations? So, what were his speculations?"

"You still haven't understood up to now, it seems you truly are just a combat-oriented guy. At that time, Six-Eared Macaque guessed that this Six Kingdoms War was very likely a test of everyone's strength, to select the strongest and most talented individuals for special training.

That way, the Judge or the overseer of the Six Kingdoms War wouldn't let those with such potential be killed by stronger opponents. As long as he couldn't kill you, it proved his theory was correct!"

Upon hearing that Six-Eared Macaque's thoughts were so intricate, including Lin Xi, everyone was very surprised.

At that moment, Lin Xi couldn't help but speak up, "So, you're saying that everything we did before was to select people with potential? Then what about the black worm I encountered at the Eastern City Gate? Was it also part of the test?"

Six-Eared Macaque didn't answer immediately but extended his hand and drew a line in the void, and a black snake-like Tongtian Worm drilled out from the void. Seeing this black worm, Lin Xi and King of Qin instantly stood up and assumed a defensive stance. The sudden movements of the two startled the others, who also adopted defensive poses.

"No need to be nervous, this Tongtian Worm, an Ancient Times' exotic species, is even more precious than Bu Yun's original form. This one is the last of its kind in this world! It was indeed sent out by me before to see how Lin Xi would perform in a battle situation he could not understand. The result, well, not bad!

Although you did not immediately figure it out, you also did not lose your composure."

"Actual, actually a Tongtian Worm? This thing really exists? That's too unbelievable!" The one who exclaimed in astonishment was Bu Yun. Since he himself was from Myriad Demons Country, and his original form was also an Ancient Times' exotic species. However, his original form compared to this black Tongtian Worm was like the difference between a wild chicken and a phoenix!

"Bu Yun, you know of this Tongtian Worm?" the one who asked was Hao Chen. Although he, too, was from Myriad Demons Country, he had never heard of this Tongtian Worm before!

"It's not just about knowing, it's about knowing it like the back of one's hand. It's just that I've never seen a real one! Legend has it that the Time Worm was born from time itself during the creation of the universe, thus giving rise to the first Time Worm. The first generation of Time Worms were almost gods, toying with time and traveling between past and future with ease.

However, the Tongtian Worm itself lacked any real attack power, and its flesh was very fragile. Yet this still didn't stop the Time Worm from becoming an entity that could contend with Lord Pioneer himself,"

After finishing, he anxiously glanced at the black worm swimming in the void, noticing no unusual movements, he continued: "But after countless years of breeding, the divine skills of the Time Worm became weaker and weaker. By the Ancient Times, the Time Worm had almost ceased to exist because their divine skills had weakened to a point where they couldn't protect themselves!

Even so, that was only in comparison to the Ancient Times. Even the weakest Time Worm is not something we can contend with."

Seeing Bu Yun talk so much without getting to the point, Hao Chen couldn't help feeling anxious and said, "Can you get to the point? What abilities does this insect have to be so terrifying?" Hearing Hao Chen's question, Bu Yun was startled and looked at the Time Worm again with caution, afraid he might say something wrong.

"If you want to know, then try attacking it yourself, but remember, don't use too much force. Don't worry, the Time Worm itself has no attack power!" Hearing Bu Yun's encouragement, Hao Chen turned his head towards the Six-Eared Macaque, as if to ask if he could try it, feeling a bit uncomfortable about not recognizing this insect despite being from the Demon Clan.

The Six-Eared Macaque chuckled, his face showing an expression of someone looking forward to a good show: "I don't mind, it's up to you!" After saying that, he pointed at Hao Chen and seemed to say something to the Time Worm!

The Time Worm suddenly became excited and quickly swam up to Hao Chen. At this moment, Hao Chen felt a bit nervous, as what Bu Yun had described seemed too fantastical to be true. But now that the arrow was on the bowstring, he had to shoot.

So, he swallowed, took a deep breath, and then his right fist was suddenly enveloped in a layer of greyish-white rock, immediately following with a punch towards the dark Time Worm.

Surprisingly, the Time Worm did not dodge or evade and seemed stupefied, getting hit squarely by the punch. Although he didn't use full strength, the punch still carried seven parts of Hao Chen's power, so the impact, along with the Gang Wind it carried, literally smashed the black worm into several pieces.

The scene startled Hao Chen, almost causing him to bite his own snakehead in shock. What situation was this? Wasn't it an ancient exotic species? How could he have killed it with a single punch? He withdrew his fist and stared at the black worm on the ground, his mind short-circuiting momentarily.

Just as he was about to ask the Six-Eared Macaque for an explanation, he felt a strong gust of wind on the back of his head.

He hastily turned around, crossing his arms in the process, the greyish-white rock reappearing and covering both of his arms. Then, Hao Chen saw something he simply couldn't believe.

In front of him, there appeared a person who looked exactly like him, also wearing a somewhat uneasy expression, who threw a punch at him. This punch landed on his arms but didn't cause any damage. The figure then suddenly vanished. Although his body wasn't hurt, this caused a huge shock to Hao Chen's psyche. Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire

What was going on? Was he seeing things? How could he have been hit by himself?

At that moment, Hao Chen suddenly turned his head, only to see that the black worm was still floating by his side undamaged, its writhing body clearly mocking him. Furious, Hao Chen let out a low shout and flung his right fist back, the greyish-white rock on his entire right arm suddenly enlarging, with sharp stone spikes now covering the arm and fist.

The arm, now three to four hundred times bigger than before, with razor-sharp Gang Wind, smashed into the black worm once again. Sure enough, the punch pierced through the black worm with the spikes on the fist, instantly killing it.

But before Hao Chen could breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly at his side appeared another enormous fist full of stone spikes, heading for his temple.
