    The one hour of grace was quickly up.


    All of a sudden, the entire tform was shaking violently and the mountains seemed to be moving as well.


    To the startled surprise of Ji Yuan and the rest of the champions, a breathtaking ck mountain had rose from the ground and they could see arge iron gates in front of them.


    On the two sides of the iron gates, was a statue of a ck winged dragon with three horns.


    Ji Yuan gulped as he stared at the giant monument ck mountain in front of the tform, "This must be the Dream Dungeon of Tenebris…"


    Many of the cultivators were all nodding and they were all looking excitingly at one another.


    The Trial Spirit thundered above them, "The fourth trial begins now. You have 5 days to reach the end point of the Dream Dungeon of Tenebris and it is on the third level."


    Tian Ao was grinning to the rest, "The profound aura of this ce is too heaven-defying. We should be able to find more profound treasures here than in the ck pyramid trial."


    Shui Xisi giggled when she had heard them and asked Ji Yuan, "So what do you got in thest trial? I know you too well. You must have risked your life for something heaven-defying."


    Ji Yuan said bitterly, "Nothing."


    Then he shouted to his team as he walked away from her, "Let''s go!"


    Shui Xisi cursed him behind his back, "Selfish! You just don''t want to share with me!"


    Their team quickly lined into their formation and they sped toward the ck mountain.


    Although the huge iron gates look close to them but it was a good 30 miles away.


    But to these cultivators, it took them only less than 1 hour to speed across the mountain paths and when they had finally reached this ck mountain, they were stunned by the grandeur of the iron gates which was a good 50m in height.


    It was monstrous and even the statues of the two ck dragons were a good 20m in height!


    Ji Yuan frowned when he saw the iron gates. "I wonder why the hassle? Can''t the stupid Trial Spirit just send us directly into the Dream Dungeon of Tenebris?"


    Hua Yunzi said gently, "It is like the first trial. Those not strong enough to enter the Dream Dungeon of Tenebris can choose to remain here until the end of the trial and be disqualified. Once again, it may be a most dangerous ce."


    Ji Yuan was surprised that Hua Yunzi had taken the initiative to talk to him.


    So he asked her softly, "Maiden Yunzi, how are you since we havest parted?"


    But she merely turned her head away, "I''m fine…"


    All of a sudden, the two gigantic ck dragons hade to life and they were two 7th rank profound beasts!


    This interrupted Hua Yunzi and also startled Ji Yuan as he quickly armed himself with Xiang Li from his immortal scabbard.


    The 6 cultivators in front of him had all disyed their profound aura and had shed to attack the 2 ck dragons.


    Even Hua Yunzi and Xie Hongyu that were next to him had disyed their profound aura before arming themselves with their divine swords to sh ahead.


    Only Shui Xisi who was behind was casually walking to Ji Yuan with a giggle but she did not bother to help them.


    It was because these two powerful ck dragons were too easy for her to handle and she did not want to show her trump cards too early.


    And moreover, the 8 cultivators that had shed to attack the ck dragons had all fiercely disyed their profound aura and they were all great saints and great saintesses.


    Ji Yuan was stunned; since when did great saints be somon that they seemed to grow on trees and all the cultivators in his team were all at the upper sacred saint level!


    A 7th rank profound beast can easily kill a 7th cultivation realm great saint.


    Moreover, these ck dragons seemed to have an impervious armor too as well as sharp talons that were filled with intense profound might that rocked the ground around them.


    But these 8 great saints and great saintesses were no ordinary cultivators and they did not cultivate only behind close doors; they were all battle hardened cultivators that have survived to the final trial of the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth and up to this point as well.


    They split themselves into two main teams and each team began to unleash their powerful profound arts on the ck dragon that they were fighting without even getting hit.


    In just a short while, these ck dragons were ughtered by their divine swords and their profound power.<novelsnext>I think you should take a look at </novelsnext>


    Ji Yuan did not even need to do anything but stared weakly at thebat strength of his team as he muttered to himself: These freaking cultivators are all so strong…


    He had actually wanted to join in the battle to help them and that was why he had armed himself with Xiang Li.


    But before he could recover his surprise of witnessing theirbat ability, they had already ughtered the 7th rank profound ck dragons.


    He could only say weakly to them, "Erm, good job."


    Hu Butao the bulky cultivator shouted to him from the battle scene, "Great Saint Ji Yuan, you don''t mind if we collect some loot first, right? Is there anything that you need from these two corpses?"


    Ji Yuan weakly shouted back, "No need. Please go ahead."


    And he watched them quickly collected the dragon''s scales, horns, saliva, tongue, eyes, spines, dragon veins, talons and other important parts of the ck dragon''s corpse.


    And they did not even quarrel over the valuable loot but barter if they really need it.


    They seemed to know who had contributed the most and so who should get the loot entitlements.


    Even Hua Yunzi was there as she collected the dragon scales, sparing the more valuable parts to the main contributors.


    The dragon veins were the most valuable and they got two; this was divided by the old cultivators Tian Ao and Huo Mingdi that contributed the most to the battle.


    Huo Mingdi even asked Ji Yuan, "Great Saint Ji Yuan, you sure you don''t want the dragon vein? It has many uses like increasing your cultivation strength too."


    Although Ji Yuan was thick skin but he was too ashamed to ask for a share of the loot so he said, "It is alright."


    But secretly he was actually drooling in his heart and it would be felt by Xiang Li and Anyang.


    Even Shui Xisi was giggling when she saw his awkward look.


    She whispered to Ji Yuan, "Do you regret putting them in front now?


    Ji Yuan: …


    The 8 cultivators were quickly done with looting the corpses of the two ck dragons and they also quickly barter with one another or paying for the other parts that they needed.


    Ji Yuan saw that Hua Yunzi seemed to take a portion of the ck dragon''s heart and she was also collecting many of the ck dragon scales.


    He thought curiously: Is she making an armor from it or what?


    He did not know that Hua Yunzi was really making a profound vest for her unborn child who was Ji Yuan''s unborn child as well.


    This unborn child was Hua Yunzi''s secret and she had currently suppressed the growth of her child because she was still in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth.


    This unborn child was everything to Hua Yunzi now and she was collecting all the possible profound treasures that she could find in the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth before leaving.


    Ji Yuan had walked to the ck iron gate now and he saw that the profound seal had already been removed; killing the two ck dragons also released the profound seals on this huge iron gate.


    He asked to make sure, "We shall all be entering the Dream Dungeon of Tenebris now. So, if anyone has any regrets, you can choose to stay here."


    But all the cultivators were smiling without any fears.


    Shui Xisi urged him with a jovial chuckle, "Ji Yuan, let''s hurry inside now. Maybe we canplete this trial in 1 day instead of 5 days."


    Ji Yuan rolled his golden eyes sheepishly as he looked with disbelief at Shui Xisi, "This isn''t a game, you know."
