6 hours had passed inside the arena trial.
A group of three male cultivators had grouped together to fight a terrifying seventh rank profound beast and they were all sweating heavily; they had been pushed into the corner of the city tall blocks by this monster and they were being forced to fight it now.
Their group consists of 3 saints. 2 were saints in the initial stage and 1 was in the middle stage.
These three cultivators were already injured by the divine lightning in the lesser area and it took them a long time to find the black portals. As a result, they had decided to group together for their own protection after they had met in the greater area.
It was not a bad suggestion because there were many great saints that were roaming in the greater area. These great saints had less troubles with the divine lightning as they had experienced their lightning tribulation already.
They had figured that 3 golden saints were equaled to one badass great saint so they had grouped together for protection as well as to find a route to the safe area.
So when the special reward was announced, they were extremely delighted. This meant that all they needed to do was to kill a single hunter and they could get +9 Points. As long as they were able to stay united, killing 3 hunters were not an issue for them.
Also, all they needed to do was to find 3 female cultivators to copulate with them and they all could score +9 Points; they could complete the trial in this way as well.
Now this seventh rank profound desolate monster was shaped like a jelly with eight legs and it was shooting 8 barbed tenacles and spinning it, creating a wave of 360-degree destruction that exploded the surroundings with its tremendous profound power.
Lucky for them, the middle saint cultivator was also a defense type and he was also capable of summoning a fifth rank defense spirit animus as he stood in front of the seventh rank profound desolate monster to absorb all the incoming profound attacks for his 2 other companions.
The 2 saint cultivators behind his back were naturally grateful because the profound power of this desolate monster was simply too great for them to handle and they had been fighting against it for nearly 30 minutes without even managing to wound it.
Even the middle saint cultivator was beginning to lose his hope and he was coughing out blood now as he thought: If this monster uses this devastating attack again, I can only hold off one more time before my defensive spirit animus disappears…
All of a sudden a dark shadow had appeared just behind the monster and a flash of brilliant light from his divine sword could be seen.
All of a sudden, this jelly like desolate monster was cut into halves as a sense of awe could be felt from all 3 of the cultivators who was finally seeing hope.
The middle saint cultivator muttered weakly but he was spirited again, "This is… a divine power profound art…"
All of a sudden the dark figure had flashed to the middle saint cultivator and the 2 saint cultivators behind with a long slashing line that was powered by his divine profound art, killing all three instantly by severing even their golden bodies.
The dark figure merely said, "I am the Hunter East King and I'm not here to save the three of you. It is just that this monster blocks my way. Are the three of you really golden saints? You can't even take a single hit from my divine profound art."
As he coolly walked away, two dark figures had suddenly flashed in front of him and had struck him with so much force that he was sent flying against the incredible hard stone walls and landed with a huge thunderous impact.
One of the dark figures was naturally Ji Yuan and he had displayed a quick strike with saintly divine sword by mustering all his profound strength to strike at the forehead of the Hunter East King.
He was saying, "Are you sure you are a golden saint cultivator? You can't even sense we are behind you. Is a hunter so weak?"
The skull was naturally the hardest part of a golden celestial's golden body and was extremely hard. Even Ji Yuan's saintly divine sword could only pierce through a little and it was not enough to kill the Hunter East King who had become enraged that he had been surprised by two sneaky cultivators.
All of a sudden, the other dark figure had flashed forward to severe the Hunter East King's neck with her secret immortal-step divine sword that was hidden under her sleeves and she was naturally the Smiling Divine Maiden Chu Lixue.
"Ji Yuan, what are you doing? Why did you aim for the forehead?" The Smiling Divine Maiden was annoyed by Ji Yuan. "These hunters are not weak and what if they retaliate against us?"
Ji Yuan chuckled, "I did it for two reasons."
The Smiling Divine Maiden: ???
Ji Yuan continued with his chuckles, "Firstly, you have killed this hunter now and you have +10 Points now. So you are now able to complete the trial."
The Smiling Divine Maiden was infuriated with Ji Yuan; she did not know why in front of him, she had lost her cool for quite a few times already.
"Have you forgotten that it doesn't matter to me? So what if I can't pass the trial?"
Ji Yuan ignored her as he continued, "Secondly, you have now killed a hunter, one of your own. So you are now on my side."
The Smiling Divine Maiden was startled, "You! You've done it on purpose then?!"
Ji Yuan nodded with a grin, "So what if I did?"
The Smiling Divine Maiden began to storm off, "It is no wonder that you did not even use any of your profound sword arts. Hmph! Next time don't expect me to come to your aid!"
Ji Yuan had immediately flashed to her as he tried to change to a new conversation, "I really don't understand why you need so many high grade spirit stones for? Are you in debt?"
The Smiling Divine Maiden simply answered while keeping her captivating countenance away from Ji Yuan, "I am collecting for my master."
Ji Yuan asked weakly, "How many high grade spirit stones does he needs?"
The Smiling Divine Maiden did not know why she had answered Ji Yuan but she did, "Not so many. Only 30 Billion high grade spirit stones. It is a 50% increase from last time. My master explained to me that it is urgent."
Ji Yuan almost fainted when he had heard of the figures and he was cursing Yun Chi: Why did she need so many high grade spirit stones for?!
"It is not my concern to question my master. My loyalty to my master is absolute." Answered the Smiling Divine Maiden nonchalantly.
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …
Ji Yuan: …

Elsewhere in the greater area.
A female cultivator was smiling.
She was an unorthodox cultivator, a villainess and also a most petite maiden.
And she already had +120 Points from sleeping with 20 male cultivators and from killing all of them.
She felt very good and proud of her smartness; this celestial-step robe was definitely going to be hers for sure.
Now she was going to look for her 21st victim.
All of a sudden, a dark figure had flashed from the top of the broken city blocks and had ambushed her.
It was a hunter and he had used a divine profound art to kill her instantly.
And when she had died, she did not even know that she had died; it was totally painless.
He merely said, "I am the Hunter South King. You are not as beautiful as the Lovely Empress or the Smiling Divine Maiden, therefore I am not interested in you. So you deserve to die."
