Chapter 2 Ridge
Ridge rummaging realm;
It was one of many secret realms created by sect experts to train disciples.
People come here to tamper their bodies and minds, and sometimes they come in search for legacies left behind by powerful elders who have ascended into higher realms or have long died.
It only opens every ten years, and only cultivators from the golden core realm and below are allowed to enter. It's a well-known location because of the Pavilion Beast, a sky-level artifact placed here by a sect elder.
It is said that he obtained it in an unknown region after embarking on an exploration; they also believe that he leaves his legacy inside before ascending. Many people believe that if they rise to the top, they will inherit the legacy.
Those seeking the legacy have always come here; many have attempted but failed, while others have succeeded in ascending to higher levels and obtaining powerful weapons, artifacts, martial techniques, and even cultivation methods.
Another reason is that magical beasts are plentiful in this area, and disciples hunt them for their cores and carcasses.
A loud sound echoed.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!...
On the towers 17th floor in a specific mountain peak;
*Clank... There was a brief loud sound of one hard object striking another.
Two shadows shot backwards, one of which is a massive black bear and the other of which is a female wielding a spear and dressed in armor.
The bear growls at the female warrior, ready to attack at any moment. The lady grips her weapon tightly, and they both lock gazes for a brief moment.
The two charge at each other, ready to sever each other's throats. They exchange blows, and their collision creates a powerful shockwave that destroys the surrounding trees and plants while scaring the small creature nearby.
*ting... A fountain of blood gushed forth as a massive bear head rolled into the ground, splattering blood everywhere. "What a total mess! I should just strike it in the heart; I'm drenched in blood now.
Damn it, where the hell is the core?
