*Whoosh!*

Xia Fei’s sudden descent shocked everyone. On one hand, the Pentalink Star Gate was slowly opening, on the other hand, Xia Fei was murderously charging over!

Everyone shivered instantly and then began to subconsciously put up their defenses.

As the elite scions of top-rated clans in the Alpha Universe, Qiu Yang and the others possessed rather high cultivation and had even learned the traditional offensive and defensive techniques of their various clans. All of them were outstanding in various ways. In the blink of an eye, they had finished setting up their protective barriers and armor of dark energy. Only Zesyr Night made no defensive measures, believing that Xia Fei definitely would not aim for her.

It seemed like a complicated process, but battles between experts were highly abnormal, and everything happened within a very brief span of time.

Xia Fei rushed toward the group like a beam of light. Only then did everyone realize that he was actually targeting just one person: Feng Jianting!

His eyes erupted with light, and he appeared very confident. This was because the Xia Fei of the present knew the important trick that the Ghost Eye Fiend Clan used to see through their enemies: energy surveillance! In Xia Fei’s view, Feng Jianting was covered with flaws!

When one thing rose, another thing fell. Feng Jianting came from the legendary Fufeng Clan, which had risen because it had obtained some legacy from the Ghost Eye Fiend Clan. Alas, Xia Fei had the full inheritance of the Ghost Eye Clan! As they came from the same heritage, they countered each other. It was not a combat technique, but it was a technique that could dissemble anything that used energy as a core!

A shocking scene played out. The White Dragon’s Screech howled and then turned into a white light as it accelerated with Xia Fei and flashed past Feng Jianting.

The pitiful Feng Jianting’s widened eyes were like those of a dead fish. He looked down and saw a large bowl-sized cavity on the left side of his chest. There was no blood, for the attack had come so quickly that there was no time for blood to spill out.

Xia Fei stopped and put away the White Dragon’s Screech. As he squinted and lit a cheap cigarette for himself, a corpse thumped to the ground. The moment he lit his lighter coincided exactly with the fall of Feng Jianting’s body, and it was also at this second that the Pentalink Star Gate fully opened!

It was as if all of this had been rehearsed. Everything had been absurdly timed! It was truly an incredible ambush!

All fell silent, everyone still reeling in shock from that lightning-fast kill!

Xia Fei killing Shui Shengsheng had already made everyone view him in a new light, but this was simply godlike!

It must be understood that Xia Fei had still gone through a lot of effort to kill Shui Shengsheng. It had required a meticulous and enormous energy to pull off that lethal attack. However, this time, Xia Fei had just run over, waved his hand, and taken Feng Jianting’s life, and Feng Jianting was just as strong as Shui Shengsheng!

‘So strong! Xia Fei is this strong?!’ howled Qiu Yang mentally. He seemed to be dreaming, for he found this impossible to believe. Feng Jianting had died just like that! It was no different from a stray dog! Had Xia Fei held back seven days ago? Had his real strength already reached such a superb level?!

Smiling, Xia Fei breathed in the smoke of his cigarette and swept his cold gaze over the group.

Regardless, the Pentalink Star Gate was open. He was infinitesimally close to getting into the God-Demon System this time, but he wasn’t sure if this door would actually let him through.

Suddenly—

Xia Fei felt a powerful force on his back. It was as if an invisible hand was pushing him into the door!

It was such a savage and bizarre sensation that Xia Fei got pushed to the door before he could react. At the same time, the Pentalink Star Gate began to reject him. This was an equally powerful force pushing him out!

Xia Fei was squeezed between these two powerful forces, and he instantly found it hard to breathe, as what felt like a mountain weighed on his chest.

Fortunately, it was a very brief moment, and after a few microseconds, before anyone could react, Xia Fei was gone! At the same time, on the ground, Feng Jianting’s corpse broke apart. Experts of this level had Seeds of Life, and Xia Fei would not allow Feng Jianting to revive and get revenge. Thus, he had struck him with the Law of Primal Chaos in the passing. As for what effects the Law of Primal Chaos would have on Feng Jianting, whether he would change species like Oro or not, Xia Fei did not care.

“Not good!” Qiu Yang was stunned and then rushed inside; in a flash, he had entered the Pentalink Star Gate, and his entry was very smooth, encountering no obstructions at all.

As Qiu Yang looked around, he found that Xia Fei was already gone! There was no sign of him at all.

At the same time, Tian Jing and the Night siblings ran in.

“Huh? Where did Xia Fei go?” Zesyr Night’s eyes widened as she exclaimed in disbelief.

She had barely finished speaking when a beam of light engulfed her and whisked her away.

Everything had happened far too fast. In the space of a few seconds, everyone was teleported to different places without even being given the chance to resist. This was the God-Demon System! Once one was inside, the system had say over everything!

As Qiu Yang opened his eyes, a bone-chilling murderous rage erupted from them. His eyes were red with bloodlust!

He could have never imagined that Xia Fei would suddenly charge in, let alone that he was not actually the warrior with the highest potential!

Qiu Xingbang had clearly told him before he left that the first person to disappear in the Pentalink Star Gate was the seeded player and would be given the best path and best reward.

Qiu Yang knew that because Xia Fei had been the first to disappear, he had lost the chance to become the seeded player, but he really could not understand how he was not the second-seeded player, for the person to disappear after Xia Fei had not been him but rather Zesyr Night!

“Arghhh!”

He let out a howl full of grievance, and it was as if he had gone completely mad!

The meticulous planning, perfect arrangements, countless years of effort put in by the Qiu father and son had all vanished upon contact with Xia Fei!

…

A battlefield!

A gory and gruesome battlefield!

After around five seconds of weightlessness, Xia Fei felt his feet hit the ground, and he knew at once that he was in the middle of an intense fight!

In his momentary dazedness, a crescent wind blade brushed past his ear with a howl, causing his heart to leap half a meter!

Countless strange warriors battled in the ruins, and all kinds of bizarre weapons flew about in the air! Someone was dying or letting out terrible wails every second!

The God-Demon System was truly vicious, not even giving Xia Fei the slightest time to catch his breath. The first stage was a cruel test right from the get-go!

Crafty Approach!

Xia Fei reacted rather swiftly, unleashing his full power at once! He dodged using Crafty Approach and speed while observing the battlefield.

It was an inexplicably realistic battlefield to him. Some warriors were humans, and some were not. Some were Founders and others had barely reached Law Sage. Some were using cold weapons, while others were not; several were even using old-fashioned laser guns!

Xia Fei could not see any problem in the variety of races, ranks, or weapons. The problem was that these warriors had no alignment! It was a chaotic brawl!

Two people who were just working together to kill a common foe would turn against each other a second later!

There were no friends on this battlefield! It was a meaningless melee!

*Plush plush!*

Several warriors closest to Xia Fei were felled instantly. He showed no hesitation, killing anyone he saw!

*Whoosh!*

Traveling in a beautiful curve, Xia Fei charged out!

In his mind, remaining on this crazy battlefield was not a very smart decision. He needed to get out of these ruins so that he could calmly ponder what was going on.

Alas, Xia Fei was on the wrong track! The God-Demon System would not give him this chance! These ruins were endless, as were the fighting warriors! No matter where Xia Fei went, someone would always be trying to ambush him from the shadows. These were not fatal attacks, but they stretched his nerves taut and caused his brain to work overtime! Running out of energy was only a matter of time.

Just when Xia Fei felt like he was making no progress, he suddenly spotted two children at the base of a shattered wall. They were hugging each other and weeping, their bodies shaking.

Upon closer look, he found that this pair of kids was a pretty little girl and a fat kid with a rather strong and dignified face. They were both wearing rags and looked rather pitiful.

Xia Fei was startled and then flew over to the duo.

The two pitiful children raised their heads to look at him with tear-filled eyes as if they were begging for his help. The girl even wept as she hugged his leg like a kitten seeking attention.

It was such a sad and heartwrenching sight that even Furball could not take it, hiding behind his master so that he did not need to look at these pitiful kids. There was nothing to be done. War was always a cruel affair toward children.

*Plush!*

A shocking development! Xia Fei’s eyes went cold as he swung his blade and killed the two kids on the spot!

The pleading, pitiful, and surprised faces of the children as his weapon approached stirred no hesitation in Xia Fei, and that white bone sword came down!

*Whoosh!*

At that moment, the ruins disappeared! The battle vanished, and everything fell quiet!

The first threshold of the God-Demon System had been broken!

In a method no one could have expected!

He had only taken four minutes and fifteen seconds to pass the first test!

…

In front of Xia Fei was a white light that prevented him from seeing anything. A moment later, he found in the middle of a formation—a deeply worrying formation!

One, two, three, four, five, six.

There were six experts in a circle, including Xia Fei. Each had their arm extended in parallel, releasing large amounts of spirit energy and counterbalancing one another.

Xia Fei had seen situations like this before. This was the phase where techniques had not gotten the combatants anywhere, and they had decided to settle things with sheer force. It was very simple. The person with the most energy, with sufficient strength, would emerge victorious from this perilous situation.

Knowing that this was a test from the system, Xia Fei fully unleashed his seventh brain region! He pushed out a vast sea of spirit energy as he sought to rout the two foes closest to him!

Strangely, the two strangers strengthened the spirit energy they were sending in Xia Fei’s direction, and on the exact same level as his!

This was a balance, and it was also a predicament. The first one to break free would undoubtedly suffer an energy backlash that would leave them dead or heavily injured.

There was not a need for a lot of testing. After making one attempt, Xia Fei dropped his spirit energy output, and the other five dropped their output as well, maintaining the balance.

Xia Fei smiled in understanding. His opponents were seeking to drag him down with them to death!
