“Time's up!”

In the square outside of the Temple of Providence on the Twin Dragon Island, the players looked at the setting sun solemnly and hopefully.

Boom!

All of a sudden, the wind was rising and clouds were surging above the Twin Dragon Island.

A hundred powers of providence in different colors appeared in the sky and formed illusionary cores of power of providence that were in different shapes.

Some were scarab beetles made of ivory power of providence, some looked like burning three-legged birds made of fiery power of providence, and some were transparent jellyfish that escaped everybody's attention at first…

There were even a lot of creatures who looked like human beings except for their golden wings or snake tails. Some lifeless forms, such as bells, cauldrons, longswords, and stones, could also be seen.

“They're the other settlements' powers of providence…

“It seems that we're faced with a rather bad situation. The other settlements are really here to disrupt our advancement.”

Elder Meng seemed rather grave.

“So many? I think there are almost two hundred of them!”

Wu Qiao, who was wearing a yellow Daoist robe on this day, frowned.

“Let's hope that they won't be too tricky to deal with!”

Guo Wei gravely stared at the creatures of providence that were in different shapes.

Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+

After taking shape, the creatures of providence all charged at the Twin Dragon Island's Temple of Providence at the same time.

“Roar… Roar…”

In the next moment, the nine-foot-long five-clawed twin dragons, which almost seemed real, appeared above the Temple of Providence.

They let out juvenile dragon roars while they fought the aggressive creatures of providence!

Pew! Pew! Pew!

Dragon Flies, Dragon s.n.a.t.c.hes, Dragon Swings… A series of combinations of the moves in the Dragon-Subduing Strike was launched.

Instantly, the creatures of providence in the lead were torn apart into loose power of providence!

The level of the core of providence of a settlement could partly be indicated by its size.

The invading cores of providence were generally not as good as the two dragons of the Twin Dragon Island.

More importantly, they were projected by the power of providence and looked much vaguer. They were absolutely no match for the twin dragons in solo battles!

However, there were simply too many creatures of providence.

Even though the twin dragons finished off a bunch of enemies very quickly, they were outnumbered and soon caught in a disadvantageous situation!

In particular, some of the invaders were of a similar size to the twin dragons, or even bigger than them.

For example, a cloud of power of providence that was as red as blood formed a creature that resembled a human being and held a three-meter-long saber that seemed to be emitting the scent of blood.

Then, it seized an opportunity and slashed the neck of one of the twin dragons that was surrounded by a lot of creatures of providence!

Clang!

A wound was left on the neck of the dragon after the attack.

“Roar!”

The dragon cried in pain for the first time, and it became a lot dimmer!

That was likely a core of providence from an alien settlement that had also reached Extraordinary Rank-9.

However, when the b.l.o.o.d.y humanoid creature was about to attack again…

Hum!

A glow dashed to it from down below and chopped off its arm that was holding the b.l.o.o.d.y long saber.

“Let's help them!” Ji Ye roared and ascended to the sky on the Dragon Aura.

He caught the Jade Dragon Sword, which had just flown in a circle in the sky, and cut apart many creatures of providence that were below Extraordinary Rank-7.

“Roar!”

He waved the sword again, launching a tremendous amount of lightning power, which enshrouded the b.l.o.o.d.y creature that reached for its severed arm and intended to connect it back!

Pa!

He also slapped his other hand and launched an aura with the Dragon-Subduing Strike.

It easily blew up a black creature of providence that looked like an enlarged worm and was sucking the other twin dragon crazily.

“Caw!”

When Ji Ye attacked, a fiery crow rose to the sky and set ablaze a b.u.t.terfly-shaped creature of providence that was made of the cold power of providence from an Extraordinary Rank-6 settlement.

Qin Yueyu's longbow was covered in a sheen of red light, and the arrows she launched went at the creatures of providence precisely as if they were alive!

Having reached Extraordinary Rank-8 and received a Commander rating, she was as good at fighting as an Excellent Hero with the Extraordinary Rank-8 Golden Crow Bow she purchased from the City of Humans!

Clip-clop, clip-clop, clip-clop…

Boom, boom, boom…

Ji Ye and Qin Yueyu weren't the only two who were fighting back.

In the whole settlement, the Twin Dragon Mount fort was undoubtedly the most heavily guarded place.

In particular, the strategic division had foreseen air attacks in the test.

Therefore, a great number of anti-aircraft cannons and machine guns had been manufactured and installed in the fort!

Faced with the intruders, they naturally launched cannons, bullets, and the enormous arrows that carried extraordinary power to the sky.

Immediately, a lot of creatures of providence collapsed.

“Quickly, every person will remember the high-level cores of providence in one specific color!”

While Ji Ye and the others who were able to fight remotely resisted the intruders, Elder Zhou, Elder Meng, Guo Wei, and the others carefully memorized the features of those creatures of providence thanks to Elder Zhou's reminder.

Those creatures were likely from settlements that were the Twin Dragon Island's compet.i.tors in “A Hundred Vying Barges”. After remembering their characteristics, they could search on the forum on Earth for the aliens that were probably threats for the Twin Dragon Island so that they could be better prepared!

Although the cores of providence were large in number, they were not really here anymore.

Besides, the Extraordinary cores of providence could only fight head-on clashes and couldn't carry out their real combat ability at all.

Under the daunting attacks of the Twin Dragon Island, they were inevitably dispersed into the power of providence in different colors!

Very soon, the last creature in the sky, a transparent jellyfish that was likely from a top Extraordinary Rank-8 settlement, was crumbled by Ji Ye.

In the whole sky, there was nothing but a hundred clouds of power of providence left.

“Is it over?”

“Is this the advancement test?”

“Isn't it too simple?”

Down below, the support players, who had been asked to hide in the Temple of Providence, were surprised and puzzled to see the splendid view in the sky through the skylight of the Temple of Providence.

“Wait… There's something more!”

They saw that the variegated powers of providence were changing colors.

Several minutes later, they all turned yellow, which was the color of human beings' power of providence.

Next, they dispersed into tens of thousands of streaks of light and dashed into the foggy area within a twenty-kilometer radius of the Twin Dragon Island's settlement core!

Splash…

In the blink of an eye, the foggy area trembled and quickly faded away.

“Watch out! The real test probably hasn't even started yet!”

Ji Ye spoke gently.

Thanks to “Voice Far Away”, he seemed to be whispering to everyone's ears.

Very soon, something was revealed from the fading fog.

“A continent?”

There was confusion in Qin Yueyu's eyes as she held the slightly dimmed Golden Crow Bow.

Inside the fog was a continent, and a lot of people were standing on the sh.o.r.e!
