The Eighth Pass, Desolate Beast Valley.
This was a ferocious place within the eighth pass, discovered by continuous trialists challenging the path, inhabited by numerous fierce Demon Beasts of the Trial Road.
Originally, this place was scarcely populated, and even trialists would take a wide detour upon encountering it.
However, on this day, Desolate Beast Valley appeared unusually bustling; silhouettes of trialists quickly gathered from all directions into this quiet valley, because Yangg Jun, the Eighth Prince of Tianqi Empire, was leading the trialists from several kingdoms to besiege trialists from Xiafeng Country.
Xiafeng Country was just a small kingdom in the lower middle ranks among the 108 Countries and would generally go unnoticed. But due to the emergence of Xia Yang, the Crown Prince who dominated the Trial Road and claimed qualifications of a king among Super Experts—these factors drew attention to this ordinary kingdom in the Western Regions of the continent.
