Start from a baby to become a Taoist

Chapter 336 Talent First!

but……

Even though he had truly felt the power of annihilation before, he had never faced it so closely as his senior brother.

You know, the eldest brother personally used the power of extreme ice to completely seal these cracks.

"Since Senior Brother has said so, then it shouldn't be a big deal! I definitely believe Senior Brother."

The second senior brother spoke up and agreed.

of course.

He agreed on the surface, but in fact, he was still a little worried...

But what can he do?

I can only listen to my senior brother. If he says everything is fine, then it is probably all right!!

now.

The other souls were relieved when they heard this. They were also very clear about the power of annihilation. Even if they had not seen it with their own eyes, they could know the pros and cons from the ancient books and the words of the three senior brothers at this time.

Now that the eldest brother said everything was fine, they finally felt relieved. Even so, their eyes were still fixed on Xu Ran in the mirror.

They wanted to see how far a newcomer who controlled the power of annihilation and was only less than two years old could go.

at this time.

In the Trial Valley.

Xu Ran waved his hand, dispersing the lime that was floating around in front of his eyes, and his vision became clearer.

He had no idea what was happening in the arena. He looked around and then fixed his eyes on the mountain again, muttering.

"There are no stones left in this entire valley. There's only a bare mountain peak left. I wonder how you can form a new stone giant!"

Xu Ran was not at all surprised that the stone giant turned into ashes and floated in the air.

In that attack just now, he directly integrated his innate energy into the [Light of Annihilation], transforming it into a white air wave that hit the stone giant heavily.

As a result, the terrifying annihilation force in it directly turned the stone giant into ashes, which drifted throughout the valley.

He was somewhat surprised by this result.

After all, the power of [Light of Annihilation] can be gradually increased through the increase of innate energy, but now, the innate energy in the body cannot be mobilized, and it can only be integrated into the [Light of Annihilation] through the dissipated innate energy.

As a result, it was unexpected that just the released innate energy could completely annihilate the stone giant. It was a coincidence.

Now, there was nothing to disturb him from approaching the huge mountain.

Immediately, Xu Ran stepped on the lime that had fallen to the ground and approached the huge mountain step by step.

Xu Ran took each step very carefully.

As soon as he entered the valley, the mysterious power of unknown origin kept surrounding his heart and did not dissipate. Even though Xu Ran had supreme cultivation, he still had to be extremely vigilant about this power hidden in the dark and could not allow any accidents to occur.

"boom!"

Xu Ran walked for nearly ten meters when suddenly, the sound of a landslide echoed in the valley. Then, the ground where he was standing began to shake continuously, as if something was about to come out of the ground.

"Hmm?" Xu Ran mobilized the innate energy that was dissipating on the surface of his body and wrapped it around his lower limbs to prevent anything from suddenly attacking him from the ground.

"It seems that our target this time is correct. As we get closer to it step by step, it becomes more and more anxious!"

Xu Ran was very satisfied with this result. After all, before approaching the valley, only the stone giant appeared and nothing else happened.

And now, the sudden earthquake was enough to prove that his guess was correct. No matter how dangerous the road ahead was, Xu Ran had to pass through this place and reach the end of the road.

He simply ignored the earthquake and continued walking forward.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

As Xu Ran got closer and closer to the mountain, the earthquake became more and more violent. For a moment, the earth collapsed and dozens of huge cracks appeared. Countless amounts of soil fell from the cracks into the bottomless abyss, and the sound of falling could not be heard for a long time.

Xu Ran just jumped lightly, and his figure appeared high in the sky. He looked at the bottomless crack under his feet, and then looked at the mountain again. The look in his eyes became more and more determined, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

"Heh!" Xu Ran chuckled. "They should have put on a good show. The earthquake was so big that the ground cracked, but there weren't any cracks within five meters of the mountain. Isn't that strange?"

Following Xu Ran's gaze, extending five meters outward from the mountain peak, it was indeed true that the earth was perfect, without any signs of collapse.

It seems that this mysterious power is very careful about its reputation.

At this moment, Xu Ran, who was floating in the air, did not waste any time. Listening to the sound of the earth cracking around him, he flew towards the mountain fearlessly.

Xu Ran was only a hundred meters away from the mountain peak. At this distance, he could easily reach it with just a thought, but even so, he still kept his guard up.

When he was only five meters away from the mountain, he stopped.

Without saying a word, he closed his eyes and raised his right hand. A faint white light rose up and turned into a white stream of light, rushing towards the mountain.

"Break!"

When the white streak of light came within five meters of it, a powerful pressure suddenly pressed towards the streak of light and disappeared in an instant.

This pressure is several times more terrifying than the pressure of all the previous stone giants combined.

Xu Ran slowly opened his eyes and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth again.

"Sure enough, there is a trap, although it's not very good!"

The white light that Xu Ran just got was used for searching. It contained a trace of his spiritual consciousness and could feed back everything it sensed to Xu Ran, except of course pain.

When it was five meters away from the mountain, a pressure with the same breath as the earth directly annihilated the flowing light.

At the same time, he also heard a violent sound within five meters of the mountain.

"Was that sound just now the beating of a heart?" There was some doubt in Xu Ran's eyes.

The reason why he didn't dare to make a judgment was that this voice was filled with a strong breath of life, just like a human heart.

However, the sound was very different from the sound of a beating heart. It was like someone hitting a stone.

Xu Ran had been to the Iron Foundry Village, where the blacksmiths, besides forging iron, also hammered stones. The sound left a deep impression on him. He wondered what kind of creatures were inside.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Ran's eyes showed a firm look, and his footsteps, which had stopped five meters away from the mountain, suddenly took a step forward.

As soon as he entered the range of five meters, a pressure as strong as the earth instantly pressed down on him. The pressure was like a mountain pressing down on him.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely be unable to breathe, or even be crushed into a pulp in an instant.

But such pressure is insignificant to Xu Ran.

Just the fully-accomplished [Innate Saint Body] alone can allow him to withstand the pressure of several mountains. He dared to come in because he had estimated the intensity of the pressure. Otherwise, with his cautious nature, he would definitely not enter easily.

This pressure posed no threat to Xu Ran, so he began to look around and observe the surrounding environment.

This place is no different from the valley outside. It is also gray, exactly the same as it looks outside.

However, the only difference was that when looking up, there was a pair of huge eyes on the hillside of the mountain, staring at Xu Ran who came in.

In addition to these eyes, there are also noses, lips and ears around them.

These organs are not made of stone, but are truly as vivid as the facial features on a human face.

At this moment, Xu Ran discovered that this mountain was not a mountain, but a huge human head.

"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"

Just as Xu Ran was feeling surprised, a buzzing sound suddenly came from right below him.

He looked down and saw gray light flashing right below him. At the same time, a mysterious aura permeated the air, making it difficult to see what was inside.

"What is this?" Xu Ran was puzzled and kept thinking in his mind.

After a moment, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he exclaimed, "It's a rune!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the gray mist that filled the mysterious atmosphere dissipated, and the runes that were wrapped in it suddenly appeared in front of Xu Ran.

Those were runes made up of pieces of broken stone. Each rune was filled with an obscure aura that even Xu Ran could not fully see through.

"This is... the Illusion Rune!!"

After observing for a while, Xu Ran felt a familiar breath and made a judgment.

Immediately, he turned his head again and looked at the environment behind him, and then his eyes trembled violently.

The valley, which had originally been cracked, now had no damage, just like when he had just entered the trial. Of course, the stone that had been completely destroyed by the power of annihilation no longer existed.

Xu Ran had seen many runes, but this was the first time he had seen an illusion rune.

He waved his hand casually, and a white barrier appeared to protect him. He squatted down and carefully observed the illusion rune.

After just a moment, Xu Ran withdrew his gaze and gently closed his eyes with his hands.

"This rune is obscure and difficult to understand. Even with my current rune proficiency, even just a moment of it is already a bit too much for me to handle!"

It is not easy to control the power of runes. When you have not reached the required level, forcing yourself to understand it will cause indelible damage to your body and even irreversible damage to your spirit. It is better to give up.

What's more, there is a biggest enemy right in front of him. The white barrier that just rose around his body is to prevent it from suddenly attacking.

"Roar!"

Just as Xu Ran was about to face the huge mountain with only one head, a violent roar suddenly erupted in his ears.

As the sound resounded in the valley, there was a violent vibration in the valley. Suddenly, the earth shook and countless cracks appeared on the ground.

Everything this time was not an illusion, but a real thing.

Xu Ran gathered his strength and flew into the air.

The moment he was in the air, the earth seemed to be turned over, the soil from the ground kept emerging, and even some mineral veins appeared on the surface of the earth.

"boom!"

At the same time, a violent sound suddenly rang out. Xu Ran looked in the direction of the sound and saw a snow-white limb emerging from the mud that was turned over to the ground.

That's right, human limbs.

Not long after, the scene beneath the huge mountain's soil was completely revealed in front of Xu Ran.

Looking up, I saw that the limbs were like the purest snow in winter, without a trace of filth. Even if turned out of the mud, they were still spotless white, with smooth and graceful lines, and slightly raised muscles, as if containing endless power, and every inch exuding a cool luster.

Looking up further, the head is carved from hard stone. The stone is rough but has an ancient texture. After years of wear and tear, the texture is crisscrossed. The color of the stone is dark, forming a sharp contrast with the snow-white limbs, adding a bit of mystery and heaviness.

And those facial features that were exactly the same as those of a human, with eyes wide open, staring at Xu Ran who was like an ant. Everything seemed so weird!

Xu Ran felt uncomfortable as he was stared at by this strange creature. Even though he had experienced many things, he had never thought that he would meet such a creature one day.

Human limbs, a head carved from stone, and human facial features, these completely unrelated things, combined together, make the already eerie valley even more terrifying! !

"A baby less than two years old was able to find my true form. I don't know how long it's been since someone who can do that appeared!"

While Xu Ran was thinking, a loud roar like thunder suddenly rang in his ears. This sound was like a thunderbolt from the sky, with the meaning of heaven.

"Oh?" Xu Ran looked up at the strange creature and immediately became interested. "Has anyone been here before?"

Xu Ran didn't know what this nine-story tower was, but according to the strange person in the Taoist temple, no one had ever entered this trial.

You have to know that no one entered that place for an entire era, otherwise, how could they not have noticed Xu Ran's abnormality.

He himself knew that he was gifted, but it wasn't like he hadn't been able to show his talent for a long time. However, he didn't know if the people who had entered the trial before were all the same as him.

Especially when hearing what this strange creature said, he wanted to know who on earth could see this strange creature like him.

Speaking of this, the strange creature also fell into memories.

"That person is a genius who has gathered the luck of all the extremely icy bodies. He single-handedly broke through the ancient predicament and became the number one in the Nine-Story Tower!"

The tone of his voice was full of praise. The man's appearance was truly astonishing, and it was no exaggeration to call him the best in talent. However...
As it spoke, its eyes looked at Xu Ran's small figure.

"Now, the title of the most talented person will probably change hands."

It only murmured these words in its heart and did not say them out loud. It knew that the man was watching everything going on in the trial from outside.

Although it knew that the man was not a petty person, it was still better to be cautious.
