Li Yun did not panic at all.

He knew very clearly that from this moment onward, the basic test of the Floating Island had begun.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the next instant, a dense buzzing sound came from the horizon. Massive clouds of gold suddenly surged toward Li Yun, covering the air like a rolling tide. Upon closer inspection, those golden clouds were not clouds at all. They were formed from thousands upon thousands of densely packed golden wasps.

"Life-Hunting Golden Wasps."

Li Yun’s expression turned solemn as he immediately recognized the vast swarm of golden wasps. They were a type of intermediate Rank Seven demonic beast.

This kind of demonic beast was somewhat similar to the Annihilating Golden Wasps Li Yun had encountered in the Wild God Temple, but they were far more ferocious.

Every single Life-Hunting Golden Wasp was equivalent to a 5th level Earthly Core Realm cultivator. Within this golden cloud, there were at least a thousand Life-Hunting Golden Wasps, which meant it was equivalent to facing thousands of 5th level Earthly Core Realm cultivators at the same time.

Of course, the intelligence of these Life-Hunting Golden Wasps could not compare to human cultivators, since they acted entirely on instinct. Even so, they were definitely not something an ordinary peak Earthly Core Realm cultivator could deal with.

However, after the first moment of surprise, Li Yun quickly calmed down.

These Life-Hunting Golden Wasps looked terrifying, but in reality, they could not pose much of a threat to him. With his current strength, dealing with this swarm was not difficult.

"Die!"

He let out a sharp cry and swung his sword.

Boundless Sword Qi surged out majestically, and every strand of Sword Qi contained an extremely sharp aura.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

Swept by the Sword Qi, large swaths of Life-Hunting Golden Wasps died instantly. Their corpses fell to the ground in dense clusters, and in the blink of an eye, they piled up across the floor.

Fifteen minutes later, Li Yun had killed all the Life-Hunting Golden Wasps.

Woo! Woo!

Just after killing the entire swarm, before he could even breathe a sigh of relief, a fierce wind suddenly began to blow. That wind was azure in color, and it was actually composed of pure wood-element essence energy.

In the next moment, azure birds flew out from within the wind. With just a slight flap of their wings, the gale grew violent and whistled toward Li Yun.

These azure birds were wood-attribute demonic beasts known as Spirit Gale Birds.

Spirit Gale Birds were demonic beasts of the same rank as the Life-Hunting Golden Wasps. What made them more troublesome than the wasps was their extremely vibrant vitality. Although they were intermediate Rank Seven demonic beasts, their defensive and recovery abilities were even stronger than those of advanced Rank Seven demonic beasts.

In an instant, hundreds of Spirit Gale Birds pounced toward Li Yun at the same time. The chaotic gale surged toward him as if it wanted to sweep his entire body into the air.

"Slow Sword!"

Li Yun took a step forward and swung his sword.

Boundless Sword Qi erupted from his blade.

The moment the Sword Qi emerged, it whistled across the area. In the blink of an eye, all the hundreds of Spirit Gale Birds were killed.

Splash!

In the next moment, the sound of flowing water suddenly rang out.

Within the air, water vapor appeared out of thin air and quickly condensed into a surging mist. The entire strange space became filled with dense moisture.

Small fish, each the size of a palm, emerged from the water vapor. They were not large, but they were extremely agile and fast. Their speed was not inferior to that of an ordinary peak Earthly Core Realm cultivator.

These small fish looked delicate and harmless, but in reality, they were also a type of intermediate Rank Seven demonic beast.

This demonic beast was called the Azure Stream Fish. Although it looked small, it could unleash terrifying impact force because of its astonishing speed.

Especially when hundreds of Azure Stream Fish collided at the same time, even a top-tier Rank Seven demonic beast could be shaken to death by that force, let alone a cultivator of the same rank.

Splash!

In the next instant, the hundreds of Azure Stream Fish flicked their tails at the same time and slammed toward Li Yun with terrifying force. Their speed was so fierce that the air seemed unable to bear the pressure, producing sharp whistling sounds.

"Hundred Layers Shield!"

Li Yun did not panic in the slightest. Instead of retreating, he advanced. He took a step forward and waved his hand, causing sixty shields to appear around him at once.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Hundreds of Azure Stream Fish slammed into those shields, causing them to tremble and shake violently. However, although the shields shook, they did not break.

"Die!"

At the same time, Li Yun struck.

A strand of Sword Qi more than ten meters long swept out and directly killed all the Azure Stream Fish.

Caw! Caw! Caw!

At that same moment, the air suddenly began to heat up. The scorching temperature directly evaporated all the water vapor. Then, clusters of flame appeared one after another.

Upon closer look, those were not fireballs at all, but individual Leaving-Flame Crows.

The Leaving-Flame Crow was a fire-attribute demonic beast. It was said to be a descendant of the ancient divine beast, the Golden Sun Crow. It contained a trace of the Golden Sun Crow’s power, and although that trace was negligible, it was still enough to let the Leaving-Flame Crow reach the advanced Rank Seven grade.

Not only that, its flames were incredibly terrifying. They were capable of incinerating a peak Earthly Core Realm cultivator until nothing remained.

Caw! Caw!

Dozens of Leaving-Flame Crows pounced toward Li Yun as soon as they appeared, spitting out raging flames. Those flames merged together, causing even the air itself to burn.

"Slow Sword!"

At this point, Li Yun became slightly more serious.

Although these Leaving-Flame Crows could not pose a major threat to him, there was still a chance he could suffer a loss if he was careless. If he accidentally failed in such a trivial place, it would be truly embarrassing.

He swung his sword, and a strand of Sword Qi spiraled out.

As the Sword Qi rotated, four-colored brilliance surged and bloomed with dazzling light. That light was something cultivators below the Earthly Core Realm simply could not look at directly.

If they forced themselves to stare at it, there would only be one outcome. Their eyes would be blinded by the light.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The Sword Qi was majestic, like a flood formed by heaven and earth, and it was unstoppable. With one slash, all dozens of Leaving-Flame Crows were completely slain.

After the Leaving-Flame Crows, earth-attribute demonic beasts appeared.

They were Sky-Soaring Serpents.

These demonic beasts were even more terrifying than the Leaving-Flame Crows. Their defensive power was extremely astonishing, and their bodies were enormous.

Each one was several hundred meters long. Although there were only nine of them in total, these nine Sky-Soaring Serpents were harder to deal with than the previous four types of demonic beasts combined.

However, after Li Yun used his Fast Sword, the Sky-Soaring Serpents were also slain by him.
