Chapter 1696 (2/2)

He glanced at his jade plate and let out a painful howl that was even more pained than those devil creatures . With this one attack, he had taken ninth place .

This channel had a strange ability to distinguish the power of the devil creatures . The stronger species needed to wait until their attacks weakened the channel to get through it .

This kind of step by step increase in power had been designed by the ancient experts of the human race who had left a buffer for their descendants . This allowed their descendants to train without making the Devil Abyss too dangerous . That was the original intent of the experts that had created this channel .

As for how the formations were able to distinguish the combat power of these devil creatures, outsiders didn’t know . The wisdom of the ancients wasn’t something people of the current era could comprehend .

Others were still handling the ones that got through the channel, but now Guo Ran had been tossed into the source and was crazily killing the devil creatures .

More bombs flew out of him . He was constantly gathering the fragments and making new bombs .

These bombs had two layers, with the outer layer preventing outside forces from destroying them . They were simple in design, and it only took a few seconds to pack an empty bomb with fragments .

Yet, the endless tide of devil creatures here poured toward him . Sometimes, he didn’t have time to throw a bomb and was struck by an attack from those blood-colored humanoids . What shocked Guo Ran was that their sharp claws contained even greater power than a rank nine Celestial, and he couldn’t allow their attacks to indiscriminately land on him .

Most shocking of all was that their claws, despite not managing to penetrate his armor, left behind long marks on it . This armor was made of the best Ancestral item material and was composed of multiple Ancestral items . It could be said that it was the strongest armor at the Ancestral item level . It could even block an attack from a quasi divine item . Ordinary Ancestral items wouldn’t even be able to leave a mark on his armor .

However, these creatures’ claws were . They were shockingly powerful .

“Come, have a taste of how amazing your daddy Guo Ran is!”

Guo Ran didn’t dare to be careless . He increased his speed, dodging and weaving within this limited s.p.a.ce, constantly unleas.h.i.+ng his bombs . Seeing his kill points rapidly rising, he was extremely motivated .

Long Chen, on the other side, saw that Guo Ran had made it through . He sighed with relief . Going over there was difficult, but coming back was easy . Guo Ran could return whenever he wanted .

“Long Chen, where did you send Guo Ran?” Seeing Long Chen return when he and Guo Ran had mysteriously charged away, Meng Qi asked him curiously . Guo Ran’s ranking was rapidly rising .

“I sent him somewhere he can profit . Let him show off as much as he wants there . Conveniently, he can be a sentry for us,” laughed Long Chen .

Guo Ran was fighting intensely, while the fight on the outside was just as intense . However, the forts were like solid boulders, and no matter how many devil creatures appeared, they were unable to break the forts .

“Third! Guo Ran’s amazing!” Gu Yang let out a startled cry . It had only been a moment, but Guo Ran had reached third on the Devil Slaughter Rankings .

By this point, rising in ranking was difficult as the devil creatures were growing incredibly powerful . Wanting to kill a huge number of them in one blow was growing increasingly difficult .

“Second!”

After four hours, Li Qi also let out a startled cry as Guo Ran’s name surpa.s.sed Di Xin’s .

On the fourteenth hour, Guo Ran took first place . The Dragonblood Legion cheered . Not only had Long Chen taken first, but even Guo Ran had done so .

The Xuantian Dao Sect’s disciples also cheered . Long Chen and Guo Ran took first place like they were just messing around . Within this world filled with slaughter as well as heroic ideology, their actions were especially shocking .

To be able to fight alongside such peerless experts, what was there to be afraid of? What was there to fear?

“First! First place! Ah, but I want to die…”

Guo Ran was howling with grief as he dodged the devil creatures’ attacks . His heart was in pain .

He had now taken first place, but as he used the fragments over and over again, their effect continued to drop . Their killing power was greatly reduced now .

Guo Ran was filled with regret . If he hadn’t wasted so many before and had instead unleashed them here, he would have far surpa.s.sed everyone else . He wouldn’t even be able to see them behind him .

However, there was no medicine for regret in this world . When the bombs lost all effect, he would only be able to fight with his dual sabers .

BOOM!

Suddenly, s.p.a.ce shook violently . A group of black figures appeared, causing Guo Ran’s expression to change .
