CHAPTER 721 - Pull a Man Into a Pit
Mobile Read
Long Chen didn’t pay attention to Shui Guanzhi. Although he had to admit that he was indeed very strong, Long Chen wasn’t any weaker than him. .
However, Long Chen was wary of the other rank 2 Skywalkers. Shui Guanzhi was one of the more special of the four.
His battle prowess wasn’t manifested in his attacks, but in his defenses. With their personalities, unless absolutely necessary, he wouldn’t reveal his trump cards.
Although the four geniuses had sparred before, the reason why victory and defeat were not decided was because they were not going to fight to the death, but were testing each other out. They were all holding back.
Today, Long Chen had discovered the tramp cards of Shui Guanzhi. This showed that the other second level Skywalkers definitely had extremely terrifying trump cards.
Just Shui Guanzhi which was not good at attacking had already revealed all of Long Chen’s trump cards. If that was the case, then Zhao Wuji, who was famous for his offensive power, would be even more terrifying.
Long Chen’s gaze swept over them. Sure enough, Zhao Wuji’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He was itching to fight with Long Chen right now.
In the distance, Yue Qianshan’s eyes were as sharp as swords, exuding an aura of extreme interest in Long Chen.
However, Zhong Wuyan still had a cold face and could not tell what she was thinking. This made Long Chen snort coldly. It seemed that he would have some fun in the future.
This was the first time Long Chen had met such a powerful Skywalker expert. The pride in his bones was aroused, and even his blood boiled.
Long Chen didn’t have any arrogance in him, but his entire body was filled with pride. His pride was hidden deep within his soul, and he too, desired to fight against the strong.
Currently, Zhao Wuji, Zhong Wuyan, Yue Qianshan, Shui Guanzhi and Long Chen were gathered around the storm zone from five different directions. The others slowly moved deeper in, because the closer they got to the center of the storm, the stronger the flow became, the more benefits they would gain.
However, Long Chen didn’t proceed any further. Although this tide contained all the energy of the world, no matter what kind of cultivator it was, they would be able to obtain great benefits.
But Long Chen was different. He was not a specialized powerhouse, so the only things that were beneficial to him were the power of fire and the power of thunder. He didn’t need to do anything.
Although they had left Long Chen’s body, Long Chen could still feel their emotions. These two fellows were currently in the core region, madly devouring the energy to nourish him. They were having an extremely enjoyable time.
Moreover, these two fellows would always remember Long Chen’s words. Their bodies shrunk to only a few inches long, and no one outside would be able to sense their existence.
But now that their bodies were smaller, absorbing them wouldn’t be easy at all. Fortunately, the energy in the heart of the storm had condensed into a solid substance, enough for them to absorb.
Even if Shui Guanzhi and the others tried their best, when they were thousands of feet away from the core of the storm, they had still reached their limit and could not move an inch forward.
However, they were already satisfied after arriving here because the benefits they got there far surpassed their imagination. They madly absorbed the power that they needed from the tide.
If Long Chen were to continue moving forward, the power of the storm would quickly strengthen his body and increase his strength once again. However, Long Chen did not do so in the end.
This was because even if he did so, it would be meaningless. Here, no matter how fast he strengthened his body, it wouldn’t be faster than the strengthening brought by Palace’s Awakening. There was no need for him to waste his time.
In this tide, the energy within Long Chen’s body was rapidly recovering. Normally, it would take several days to recover completely. Here, it only took less than two hours. The energy of this tide was truly too mysterious.
After Long Chen recovered, he unexpectedly left the area of the storm and walked toward Meng Qi and Tang Wan’er.
"Long Chen …"
“Meng Qi, I will bring Wan’er to the storm area. There, she will be able to obtain even more benefits, but …” Long Chen said apologetically.
“No worries. Actually, this XuanTian Sea doesn’t have much use for me. The body of a Beast Master is too weak. Even if it is strengthened, it is limited. You can take Wan’er with you!” Meng Qi gently said.
"Meng Qi, are you able to hold on?" Long Chen asked worriedly.
“It doesn’t matter, I’ve almost gotten used to it. Besides, I have soul power to support me, so I’ll be fine.”
[I told Wan-Er to go ahead herself, but she didn’t want to. This is a rare opportunity. Don’t waste any more time because of me.] Meng Qi held Tang Wan’er’s hand and said with a smile.
Long Chen nodded and pulled Tang Wan’er with him towards the storm area. When they were almost there, Tang Wan’er could clearly feel the pressure and her face turned pale.
"Boom!"
Long Chen directly activated his divine ring to help Tang Wan’er withstand the terrifying pressure. Tang Wan’er immediately looked gratefully at Long Chen as she relaxed.
“Let’s go!”
Long Chen brought Tang Wan’er directly into the area of storms. With Long Chen’s help, Tang Wan’er didn’t find it too difficult to enter the area of storms because most of the power was blocked by Long Chen.
“Now, I will retract my power bit by bit. You increase your power bit by bit, and we will fight!” Long Chen said. Seeing that Tang Wan’er nodded, Long Chen started to retract his power.
Even though she was mentally prepared, Tang Wan’er was still startled. As Long Chen slowly retracted his power, Tang Wan’er immediately felt as if countless mountains were pressing down on her.
But luckily, the power of Long Chen was being collected very slowly, giving Tang Wan’er a lot of time to recover. Even so, Tang Wan’er had to spend two hours to get used to it.
“Alright, just keep absorbing the wind power here. Not only will it increase your perception, it will also increase your adaptability. I’ll come find you in a while!” Long Chen arranged Tang Wan’er and walked out of the Violet Territory.
When they saw Long Chen, they didn’t hesitate to waste their precious time and pulled Tang Wan’er into the Storm area. This made countless Skywalkers envious. If only they could follow Long Chen.
As for the people sitting in the distance, they couldn’t help but sink into deep thought. Long Chen had sacrificed too much by doing so. This was equivalent to him giving up his precious cultivation time. Wasn’t he afraid of being surpassed by others?
One had to know that on the path of cultivation, no one was willing to give in in front of great fortuitous encounters. Not even husband and wife, and even enemies, could turn against each other and become enemies.
"Why did he come out again?" Everyone could not help but be puzzled.
Because it was one of the three great beauties, Meng Qi was a beast master. There was no one in the entire Xuan Dao Sect that didn’t know that she couldn’t enter the area of the storm. What was Long Chen doing out here at this time?
“It can’t be, could it be that he wants to…” Everyone was shocked to discover that Long Chen had actually walked in the direction of the Dragon Blood Legion’s group.
"Brothers, are you ready?" Long Chen smiled at Gu Yang and the rest.
“Boss, you’re …” Gu Yang said in surprise and delight.
"Yeah, if we drag you in as well, you will receive enormous benefits. I wonder if you dare …" Long Chen said with a smile.
“We dare, why wouldn’t we dare? Boss, bring us there quickly!” Gu Yang and the rest couldn’t help but exclaim excitedly.
Even though they were here, they could feel that they were becoming stronger and stronger at every moment. One must know that only Tier 2 Skywalker had the right to enter the area of the storm, and they did not even have the right to be near the edge of becoming a Tier 1 Skywalker.
“Good, since that’s the case, you captains, come with me. The head soldier and the soldiers below are fine. If you go in, you will be squeezed to pieces.” Long Chen said.
There were a total of 360 members in the Dragon Blood Legion, divided into 36 teams, and each team was matched with a head sergeant. Each team had one leader, which meant that each of these four people was leading 90 Dragon Blood Warriors.
The Sergeant Major was the strongest existence in each squad, but compared to Gu Yang and the others, these Battalion Leaders were still far off.
“Brothers, I wish you all victory at the start. Have a safe journey, haha …” Seeing that he wasn’t mentioned, Guo Ran immediately calmed down and laughed out loud.
“Guo Ran, you too!” Long Chen’s words immediately made Guo Ran’s face turn green.
“Boss, my body isn’t as good as most brothers. I feel that I should just wave my flag and cheer for you guys here …” Aiya, boss, I don’t want to go. I will die… I beg you, please let me go. I have eighty mothers-in-law and a baby that is waiting to be fed … " Guo Ran begged.
However, Long Chen completely ignored him. He grabbed onto this kid and continued walking forward. No matter how Guo Ran wailed and begged, he still couldn’t stop Long Chen’s steps.
“The four captains of the Dragon Blood Legion have all come. If you, as their commander, can’t come, then it would be unjustifiable. Even if you die, you will die inside.” Long Chen forcefully said while dragging the crying Guo Ran.
"Boom!"
With an explosive sound, Long Chen increased the power of his divine ring to its maximum, directly pushing open the torrent. He then brought the five of them to break in.
However, this time, Long Chen felt an enormous pressure. This was because the power of the tide was superimposed due to the strength of the opponent. It was just like going against the current. The greater the resistance, the greater the impact.
However, there was nothing Long Chen could do. He had brought five people with him this time. They were not Skywalkers, so they couldn’t compare to Tang Wan’er. If they didn’t attack with their full strength, they would die from the shock.
Seeing Long Chen bring five people with him into the storm area, countless people opened their mouths wide in shock. This was too ruthless!
“Idiot, doing this would only waste a great opportunity. Pulling that Tang Wan’er in, because she’s a Skywalker and also has a lot of flexibility, is still barely acceptable.”
Pulling five ordinary disciples in was a complete waste of their valuable energy, especially that crying fellow in his hands. With just a single glance, one could see that he was nothing but a piece of trash; if Long Chen were to continue like this, then no matter how great his talent was, it would all be wasted and he would soon lose him! " Shui Yuncong said coldly.
The other experts couldn’t help but secretly nod their heads. Tang Wan’er was a rarely seen wind attribute expert. If she was pulled into the windstorm region, her future would be limitless. She was worthy of praise.
However, pulling five ordinary disciples in was a bit speechless. This was purely because they had nothing to do after eating so much. Moreover, if those five people went in, wouldn’t they be crushed to death?

Hearing Shui Yuncong ridicule Long Chen, Shui Wuhen lightly said, "Long Chen always has his own way of doing things. He is not a qualified leader, but he is definitely a qualified cultivator. .
He treated everyone around him as if they were his own brothers. He was willing to entrust his own back to any of his brothers. This kind of trust was something that we could not understand.
Just like now, I can guarantee that Long Chen definitely has his own reasons, and it’s not some foolish behavior from a few people! "
Shui Yuncong’s face darkened. Shui Wuhen was growing more and more impudent. She dared to go against him in front of so many people, showing no mercy at all. He could not help but feel infuriated.
The reason why Shui Wuhen had such a powerful voice and voice was because of Long Chen, this peerless genius. It was also because of Long Chen that the vice sect master looked upon him so highly.
A cold sternness appeared in Shui Yuncong’s eyes as he coldly spoke, “Young man, you should know your limits and think of something unrealistic all day. Do you really think that he can go against the heavens and break away from the control of tens of thousands of worlds?”
A hint of disdain surfaced on Shui Wuhen’s face. In reality, Shui Yuncong’s words were directed at him, pointing out that Shui Wuhen was too conceited and wanted to escape the control of the Shui family.
Wishful thinking? Shui Wuhen sneered in his heart. Was it really that rare to see a dilapidated Patriarch’s position? Do you think that everyone has their eyes on power, likes scheming and scheming like you?
Shui Wuhen was too lazy to respond. Before, she had been unhappy with Shui Yuncong’s belittlement of Long Chen, and had hence spoken highly of him. She had not expected that this old man would raise the level of conflict to a new level and oppress others with his power.
All of a sudden, Zhou Tianyi continued, "Brother Yun Cong’s words are wrong. At first glance, Xiao Ma thought that the road was narrow, but the Roc spread its wings and hated the low sky. Even the Vice Sect Leader said that the future belongs to these children.
"You …" Shuiyun was furious. Zhou Tianyi was too evil, actually using the Vice Sect Master to pressure him.
Although Zhou Tianyi was the first to react and purposely helped Shui Wuhen, he was still unable to control his anger even though he was trying to sow discord.
"Ahh …"
Suddenly, a scream that sounded like a pig being butchered came over, interrupting everyone’s words. Everyone hurriedly looked towards Xuan Tian Sea.
At the edge of the Tempest Region, Long Chen stood there. Five people lay on the ground in front of him, four of them supporting themselves with all their might, blood spewing out from their mouths.
As for the other person, he was spitting out blood and screaming madly at the same time. His voice was truly unpleasant to hear and sounded as if it was being scraped by iron.
“Don’t worry. Even if you shout until your throat breaks, no one will come to save you.” Long Chen looked at Guo Ran and spoke very calmly.
He knew that this boy was definitely doing it on purpose. He was testing Long Chen. If Long Chen’s heart softened, he could let him go, but Long Chen really couldn’t let him go, and he absolutely couldn’t let anyone go.
After bringing the four of them in, Long Chen immediately withdrew about half of his strength. Although he had greeted them, the five of them were still unable to withstand it. They laid on the ground, unable to move at all.
At this moment, Long Chen did not let them go and continued to reduce his strength. The overwhelming power crazily pressed down on them.
"Ah… I’m going to die… " Guo Ran crazily shouted, but in the end, he couldn’t even make a sound.
"Kacha kacha …"
The sound of bones being crushed filled the air, and everyone’s expressions couldn’t help but change. The bone was chilled; this area of the storm was too terrifying.
"Boss, I …" He wanted to support … No… "Stop." Li Qi voice came out of his teeth. He felt as if he were going to be crushed under the pressure of his words. All the air in his body had been squeezed out.
“It’s fine. There’s no need to hold on any longer.” Long Chen said indifferently.
"Boss …"
"Kacha kacha …"
The sound of bone shattering rang out in everyone’s ears, causing their scalps to go numb. The people who had been envious of these Dragon Blood Warriors were no longer envious.
By this time, Guo Ran had already fainted. All the bones in his body had been shattered, and he was in so much pain that he had fainted. His entire body had been flattened, and the area around him had become much larger.
Even though he was a headmaster, he couldn’t help but feel sweat on his forehead. Isn’t this way too ruthless? What is Long Chen planning to do?
The pain of having one’s bones broken was nothing. However, the pain of having one’s bones shattered would cause one to die from the pain. Even if one did not die from the pain, it would still cause one to be in insanity.
“Are you sure these people are Long Chen’s brothers?” An expert from the Shui family sneered at Shui Wuhen and said, “This is clearly a death trap. Even if a person were to live, he would definitely plant an inner demon and be unable to advance any further. Could it be that this is how the thirty-six academies nurture their disciples?”
“Shut up. If you don’t understand, then don’t spout nonsense!” At this time, the Vice Sect Leader reprimanded him coldly.
"What do you know? Long Chen’s method was to create a great opportunity for them. This Xuantian Sea was one of the 108,000 Spirit Gathering Arrays of our Xuantian Sect that drew out the energy of heaven and earth from the five realms.
It contained a trace of the purest energy in the world. Long Chen wanted everyone to reconstruct their bones, hoping to absorb some of the energy in the world as they reforged their new bones.
If they were lucky, that bit of source energy would be able to bring them a chance to awaken Skywalker in the future.
Even if they were unable to awaken Skywalker, it would be a smooth journey in the future when they advanced to sea level. It would be much easier than for others.
If you are ignorant, why would you keep your mouth shut? As the head teacher, how could you speak without thinking? No wonder all of the disciples that were taught are so foolish! "
Hearing the Vice Sect Leader’s words, the crowd couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts. This was the first time they had heard the Vice Sect Leader speak of the origins of XuanTian Sea. They didn’t expect that Xuan Tian Sea origins would be so great.
“Vice Sect Master, if that’s the case, then wouldn’t we be able to use the Xuantian Sea to create even more Skywalkers?” The clan head of the Wang Clan hurriedly said.
The Vice Sect Leader sighed, "How can it be that simple. First of all, ordinary disciples can’t even get close to the edge of the Storm.
And in the Xuantian Sea, only the energy in the storm area was the purest. Only the energy there could help ordinary disciples wash their muscles and cut their bones, and temper their bones and tendons.
That area, only second grade Skywalkers have the right to enter. If it were you, would you all order your peerless geniuses to waste time on other disciples?
Even if you gave the order, would they give up their good fortune to help others? "This is simply unrealistic!"
When everyone heard this, they could not help but fall silent. Indeed, people were selfish. If helping others was a kind favor, then there would be people who would do it. If they sacrificed themselves to help others, that would be a sneer.
"Even if a second rank Skywalker were to sacrifice his own valuable time to help others, it would usually be useless?" The Vice Sect Leader said.
"Why is that?" Everyone was puzzled.
“This is because if you want to use the power here to wash your muscles and marrow, you’ll need to experience the pain of nine broken bones. Anyone with weak willpower would go crazy even if they didn’t die!” The Vice Sect Leader sighed.
“Nine times?” Let’s not talk about Gu Yang and the others, even they felt like they were going crazy. Just listening to them was already scary enough, it was just too cruel.
“There’s no other way. There’s no talent, no resources, no backing. If you want to become an outstanding person, then you must pay more than others do,” a Sect Leader said helplessly. At the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of Long Chen and the others.
They were all grassroots and did not possess anything. They had risked their lives to obtain what they had today. Even though they were young, they were a group of people worthy of respect.
In less than an incense stick of time, even the strongest Gu Yang had fainted. Only then did Long Chen raise his divine ring to help them withstand the pressure and give each of them a special healing pill.
An hour later, everyone slowly woke up. Just as the bones in their bodies had healed, Long Chen put away his divine ring and they began to break the bones.
The distant Dragonblood Warriors felt their hearts tremble. This was the first time they had seen Gu Yang and the others fight like this, and they were filled with gratitude as well.
When they had formed the Dragonblood Legion, Long Chen had said that the purpose of becoming stronger was to protect them. Protecting them was the ultimate goal of becoming stronger.
It was because of this goal that they chose to become stronger. And right now, Gu Yang and the others were enduring the bone shattering pain in order to protect them. In order to reduce the casualties of the Dragon Blood Warriors and watch them suffer, the warriors couldn’t help but wish they could endure it too.
"Brothers, compared to our leader, we are too comfortable. Good brothers should share good fortune with good, and we should share good fortune with bad ones!" One of the sergeants waved his hand, and everyone started to move closer to each other.
It was only when they were only a few dozen miles away from the storm region that they finally stopped. This was because they could no longer move forwards. Even a first grade Skywalker had stopped only a few miles away from them.
The pressure here was greatly increased, and everyone was pressured to the point that their blood was boiling. Some soldiers were even more furious, but their faces were brimming with a sense of pride, because they were suffering together with their captain. This was a type of sharing.
This scene shocked the hearts of countless people. They could not understand why their emotions were so sincere and so trusting. Many people couldn’t help but feel their eyes turn red as they looked at the Dragon Bloodline Warrior who was violently spurting blood. This was an extremely touching scene.
"Ah… “Boss, I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to go crazy!” Guo Ran cried out crazily, his eyes bloodshot as the torment of his mental strength neared its limit.
"Then let me ask you, do you want beauties?" Long Chen suddenly asked.
"Yes!" Guo Ran gritted his teeth.
"Want to be a hero?"
"Yes!"
"Do you want to act cool in front of countless people?"
"Yes!"
“What’s your biggest dream?”
"I want to act tough with boss!" Guo Ran roared angrily.
"Do you still want to continue?"
"Yes!" Guo Ran roared without even thinking.
Everyone present didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as they looked at Guo Ran. They were shocked and amused, but only Long Chen knew that Guo Ran loved to show off. He could endure any hardship in order to show off.
Right now, Guo Ran’s spirit was on the verge of breaking down. In terms of willpower, he was indeed far from Gu Yang and the rest.
Under the panic-stricken gazes of everyone present, Guo Ran actually managed to endure to break the bones nine times. When he finally regained consciousness, he actually didn’t go crazy.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, an explosive sound rang out, and the world began to vibrate. The entire world began to tremble, and the tide suddenly came to a halt.
Chapter 723 - The Road to the Nine Nether

“What?” “It’s actually over!” One of the elders couldn’t help but be alarmed. .
Every single time, XuanTian Sea would last for more than seven days. This time, he had only lasted for less than three days.
Even the vice sect master had a serious expression on his face. After a long while, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh. “I’m afraid that the Xuan Dao Sect has produced countless monsters this time!”
"Vice Sect Leader, what is going on?" Everyone was puzzled.
The Vice Sect Master said with a complicated expression, "In this Xuantian Sea, five realms are opened at the same time. They are connected by energy and share the resources.
In previous trials, the duration of the Xuantian Sea had varied from seven to ten days. When the energy within the Xuantian Sea had been consumed to a certain degree, it would automatically disappear.
"Now that it has disappeared in less than three days, it means that the energy within the Sea of Heavenly Secrets has been consumed. It has automatically closed."
Everyone couldn’t help but be shocked. This Xuantian Academy had welcomed an unprecedented prosperity, with five peerless experts. They thought they finally had the qualifications to stand up to the other sub-schools.
However, the scene in front of them caused everyone’s hearts to sink. The energy that should have been used up in seven days had now been used up in three days. This meant that the other places either had many monstrous geniuses or had an incomparable powerhouse that had used up all of their energy.
“Haha …” “I, Guo Ran, am invincible in this world. No one is my match. Let me go, all of you retreat. I’m going to start acting cool …”
Once the tide was over, Guo Ran started to laugh maniacally, as if he had gone insane and scared everyone. Gu Yang and the rest hurriedly held down Guo Ran.
Long Chen stretched out his hand and slapped Guo Ran on the forehead. A wave of powerful soul force spread out and poured into Guo Ran’s sea of consciousness.
Right now, Guo Ran had undergone inhuman torture. Although he had survived, the excruciating pain in his body had stimulated his nerves and made him show signs of insanity.
This was very normal. Guo Ran was definitely the weakest when it came to willpower. He could survive all because he wanted to show off. If he survived, he would lose his mind and go insane.
"Okay, everything is over. After all the suffering, you will be like a sharp blade drawn from its scabbard.
Your name will spread throughout the entire world and be imprinted in everyone’s hearts. The name Guo Ran will resound throughout the entire continent and no one will be able to conceal your brilliance! " Long Chen’s voice was very gentle. It was a kind of soothing voice that was similar to hypnosis, calming Guo Ran’s taut nerves.
"Can I surpass you, boss?" Guo Ran suddenly said.
"F * ck you, how dare you pretend to be crazy!" Long Chen raged and kicked Guo Ran far away. This bastard was purposely playing the fool.
"Beat him to death!" Long Chen said angrily.
"No, no, no. Boss, I was just joking. Why are you being so serious?" Guo Ran saw Gu Yang and the rest rolling up their sleeves and hastily begged for mercy.
Just as Long Chen was about to speak, his arms suddenly shook. Lei Long and Long Hao had actually snuck back without anyone noticing.
When Lei Long and Long Hao returned, they frantically expressed their excitement. This was the first time they had eaten so much.
However, Long Chen knew that this wasn’t the first time Lei Long had eaten. It had only eaten bones in the past, but meat this time.
In fact, it could be said that this was the first time that a Long Hao had truly appeared. Long Chen had finally experienced the true power of a Long Hao. This was the true power of an earth fire.
“Little Fire, since you’ve eaten your fill, don’t stay idle. Help me refine some pills!” Long Chen currently needed a large amount of Awakening Pellets. No, not a large amount. It should be said to be a massive amount.
Having just assigned Little Fire’s mission, Meng Qi, Tang Wan’er, and the soldiers of the Dragon Blood Army also came over.
"What do you guys think?" Long Chen said with a smile.
“The feeling is too great. It’s just like a rebirth.” When the Dragon Blood Warriors mentioned the rewards, their spirits were lifted.
Not only had his body been baptized, but even his spirit essence had been purified by a large amount. It had also increased by a large amount, and some Dragonblood Warriors, who had already grasped a trace of impure attribute energy, had actually received great improvements in the tide.
“Rebirth? Hehe, that’s right. Not only was I reborn, even my skin was stripped off a few layers!” Guo Ran said with a wry smile.
"However, all of this was worth it. I feel that my body has undergone a tremendous change. My body is filled with power." Gu Yang clenched his fist and kept on pounding his chest, producing a sound like the beating of a drum.
Yue Zifeng, Li Qi, and Song Mingyuan all revealed excited smiles on their faces. Although they had experienced purgatory torture previously, compared to the gains they had now, everything was worth it.
"Guo Ran, although your aptitude is mediocre, your will will become firmer after this ordeal.
And although your physical body is incomparable to that of Gu Yang and the others, it’s already several times stronger than an ordinary Dragon Blood Warrior.
Even though it looks like you are at a disadvantage, don’t forget your profession. In your hands, power that is several times greater is still … “Hehe, you understand!” Long Chen chuckled.
“Boss, I understand, I understand!” Guo Ran was still muddleheaded from the previous pain. He hadn’t turned around at all. Now that Long Chen had reminded him, he couldn’t help but rejoice.
His most powerful point was his armor. That armor had an abnormal amplification effect, but the amplification effect was determined by his base strength.
Now that his physical body had grown several times stronger, and with the added blessing from the armor, his strength had increased to a level that even he himself felt was terrifying.
“Then won’t I be able to rival Skywalker in the future?” Guo Ran was endlessly excited. His eyes were filled with longing, as if he could see himself stepping on a Skywalker in glittering armor.
“With just this little bit of potential, you’re hopeless!” Long Chen shook his head.
"Long Chen!" Suddenly, an ice-cold voice rang out.
Long Chen looked towards the voice and saw Shui Guanzheng staring at him coldly. "Do you dare to fight a battle to the death?"
Everyone was startled. This water trial was actually so battle-loving. It actually started challenging Long Chen so quickly.
Zhao Wuji, Yue Qianshan, and Zhong Wuyan, who were standing far away, were stunned for a moment.
Long Chen suddenly laughed, "I’m always accompanying you in a battle of life and death. I know that you must have obtained some benefits in the core region of the storm and your strength has increased by quite a bit.
But I have said before, as long as you don’t attack the people around me, if you want to challenge me, you can receive my challenge at any time. But I want to remind you, before the life and death decisive battle starts, to discuss it with your family’s master, because if you lose to me again, I will take your life! "
Long Chen had spoken very arrogantly. However, when he thought about how Long Chen had defeated Shui Guanzhi, he didn’t think much of it. If Long Chen had wanted to kill Water Shui Guanzhi back then and no one had stopped him, there would be no more Water Shui Guanzhi in this world.
Shui Guanzhi’s expression immediately turned incomparably gloomy. This was his humiliation. A grand second-grade Skywalker had actually been defeated, moreover, at the hands of someone who wasn’t even a Skywalker yet.
Long Chen was right. When Shui Guanzhi entered the area of the storm, he had comprehended a layer of the profound mysteries of water. Even the water element runes had undergone a slight change and had become even more powerful.
The last time he had lost to Long Chen, he hadn’t been convinced in his heart because he had been too careless. If he had viewed Long Chen as a worthy opponent from the very beginning, the outcome might have been different.
Now that his strength had increased and Long Chen was wasting all his time on someone else, he was confident that he could kill Long Chen. Therefore, he initiated a life and death battle to kill Long Chen and wash away his shame.
How could Long Chen not understand Shui Guanzhi’s thoughts? Therefore, Long Chen wanted Shui Zhizhi to apply for the Dao Sect’s approval, in case he still couldn’t kill him after the great battle, which would be a waste of time.
With regards to the water trial, even Long Chen had to go all out. Moreover, Long Chen had revealed so many trump cards in their previous match. This fellow would definitely be prepared for Long Chen.
If he couldn’t kill this fellow in this fierce battle and Long Chen exposed his entire family’s worth, then it wouldn’t be worth it. But if he could kill the other party and obtain a second-grade Heavenly Dao fruit, then it would be worth it.
“Disciples, listen up. Everyone gather, wait for the second round of the trial.” Just at this time, the vice sect master’s voice rang out. Everyone’s hearts trembled as they hastily headed to the gathering place.
"Hmph, Long Chen, you can consider yourself lucky. But remember, your life belongs to me, Shui Shui Guanzhi. I will come and take it from you at any time." Shui Shui Guanzhi coldly said.
This made Gu Yang and the rest furious. They pulled out their weapons and were about to charge forward. This Shui Shui Guanzhi was too arrogant. He actually said that he was going to take Long Chen’s life.
Long Chen waved his hand and stopped everyone. He said indifferently, “Like I said, no matter when you want to die, you can come and find me anytime. I’ll send you on your way free of charge!”
Although Long Chen appeared very calm on the surface, Shui Guanzhi had truly aroused his anger. This was because he had thoroughly understood Shui Guanzhi’s personality.
This idiot was typically a second generation’s ancestor. He was arrogant and despicable, but he had been spoiled since he was young. He regarded himself as the core of this world, and everyone around him should follow him. Whatever he did, it would be within reason.
This kind of person was an idiot, but such idiots would often do many idiotic things, just like how they had been unable to deal with Long Chen, and had even dared to make a move against the Dragon Blood Warriors.
In his eyes, there was no taboo to such a despicable scheme. If this idiot were to continue living, he would probably do the same. Long Chen was unwilling to give him this opportunity.
Originally, because of the chaos beads’ special ability, Long Chen tried his best to avoid killing people for the Heavenly Dao Fruit. Otherwise, if he killed people because of greed, perhaps one day, he would also be captured by greed and be unable to reach a clear state of mind.
However, this water Shui Guanzhi was special. He was a scourge. If he was killed, there would be no pressure at all. A cold smile appeared on Long Chen’s face as he looked at the back of the water Shui Guanzhi.
After returning to the meeting place, they waited for six hours. Suddenly, the world trembled and the scenery around them changed. A valley appeared in front of them. The entrance of the valley was shrouded in mist, making it difficult to see what was inside.
“This is the second trial — the Nine Nether Path!” The vice sect master’s voice reached everyone’s ears, startling them.

The crowd stared at the valley in front of them, only to see that it was real as well. It was like a painting scroll, yet it was still constantly moving, even though it was very clear, yet it felt unreal. .
Within the valley, clouds and mist lingered around so it was impossible to clearly see what was inside. One could only feel that there were endless profound mysteries within, waiting for people to explore.
"This is the Nine Nether Path. It’s different from the first trial, this is a trial aimed at the soul and will.
Moreover, there would be dangers here. The slightest carelessness or carelessness would lead to the possibility of death. Thus, I advise everyone to not participate if your soul force is too weak!
Hearing the Vice Sect Leader’s words, all the Dragon Blood Warriors looked towards Gu Yang. Gu Yang sighed. He knew that he no longer had any fate with this smelting trial.
Because his soul power was too poor, Guo Ran had specially forged a soul tool for him. Meng Qi had personally injected soul power into Gu Yang so that he wouldn’t be instantly killed by an ordinary soul cultivator.
The Vice Sect Master looked at the disciples and said, "However, before this trial, let me remind everyone that this Nine Serenities Road is filled with dangers and illusions. If one is unable to differentiate between illusion and reality, it is very likely that one will lose his or her life.
This is what I want to tell you. This Nine Nether Road is different from the Xuantian Sea, it’s opened using soul force. You can imagine how many souls need to be collected to open such a powerful trial! "
Even Long Chen couldn’t help but be shocked. They needed to collect souls to open it. Could it be that these souls were collected after the two powerhouses of the True and Evil died in battle?
"I think many of you will remember, that when you first entered the Monastery, the final entrance exam was to fight with the Evil Corpse.
The spirits of the Evil Corpse were collected in the battlefield of the True Evil, but they are relatively intact, so they are sealed inside the corpses, and can be used for your assessment.
On the true battlefield of the Righteous Evil, the battle between the strong had an earth-shattering power. Most of the experts who had fallen had their souls destroyed, so their soul forces were collected and activated on the Nine Nether Path.
You will encounter all kinds of dangerous situations. If you feel that your life is in danger, you can crush the jade tablet that you were given before and automatically exit the Nine Nether Road.
However, do not think that just because you have a jade token that you have a life-saving talisman, because most of the danger here comes from the soul. It is very possible that you did not even have the chance to break the jade talisman before you died! " The Vice Sect Leader reminded.
The vice sect master’s words caused everyone’s hearts to become heavy, especially those with soul force. They weren’t particularly outstanding, and they even had to retreat a bit.
However, the Nine Nether Road was the trial grounds of the Xuan Dao Sect, and the benefits there were needless to say. Although the vice sect master had only said that it was bad, and had not said anything good, just thinking with his butt alone would allow him to know that there were risks and opportunities at the same time.
"In addition, I would like to remind you one last time, do not ever try to see your future!" When the vice sect master spoke, his eyes swept across Long Chen and the four other Skywalker experts, his face full of warning.
"Yes!"
Zhong Wuyan and the others felt a chill in their hearts. To be able to get the Vice Sect Leader to say twenty million in a row, it must be a huge matter. They would firmly remember the Vice Sect Leader’s words.
After waiting for another two hours, the valley in front of them finally stopped shaking. The Vice Sect Leader waved his hand.
“The Nine Nether Path’s trial begins!”
However, this time, it was obvious that everyone was more cautious, and did not rush over like a swarm of bees. This was because the Mysterious Heaven Sect’s trial was a secret and did not want to be the first person to eat a crab.
“Long Chen, let’s go in first. I feel like there’s something I want here!” Meng Qi pulled Long Chen and Tang Wan’er towards the valley.
The valley was not big, only a few thousand feet wide. Before him was a thick fog, and the fog was a bit strange, giving off powerful soul fluctuations.
"Phew!"
Meng Qi, Tang Wan’er, and Long Chen entered the fog together. The people outside carefully watched them. When the three of them entered the fog, all the disciples couldn’t help but be shocked.
Because at that moment, the soul fluctuations of the three of them disappeared as if they had been devoured by a giant beast. Everyone felt their scalps go numb. This place was too strange, but when they saw the vice sect master’s expressionless face, they could only grit their teeth and enter.
Long Chen had been tightly holding both of their hands. However, when they entered the fog, his hands suddenly became empty. At the same time, the scene in front of them changed. They had actually appeared on a mountain path.
The surrounding fog was only a few dozen feet wide. Moreover, Long Chen found that this fog was extremely strange. If his soul force couldn’t penetrate it, he wouldn’t be able to open his divine sense.
"Aooo!"
Suddenly, a roar sounded from behind him. Long Chen hastily turned his head and saw a several hundred feet long blazing lion pouncing towards him.
Long Chen was shocked. He didn’t even know how this mad lion got close to him, so he quickly threw a punch at it.
However, Long Chen’s fist had actually passed through the Raging Flames Lion’s body. This was only an illusion.
"Soul attack!"
Long Chen was shocked. Indeed, the Ferocious Lion was only formed from soul force, so it was charging straight for his soul.
"Hmph!"
Long Chen let out a cold snort. His hand formed a seal and a soul arrow flew out from between his brows, directly shattering that mad lion.
After the berserk lion was shattered, countless pure soul power surged towards Long Chen. Long Chen was slightly surprised and slowly absorbed a trace of soul power.
"What a pure soul force!"
Long Chen was astonished. He didn’t expect that after the berserk lion was killed, it would transform into pure soul force that could be absorbed by others.
“What a pity. I don’t need it.” Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh.
However, when Long Chen practiced the Nine Star Overlord Body Tactics, his soul power would increase with his cultivation. As for comprehensions, he didn’t even need them because he didn’t need any bottlenecks.
However, the Raging Flames Lion from before was too realistic. Furthermore, there was no soul fluctuation here. Even Long Chen mistook it for a real magical beast.
Long Chen followed the mountain path and continued forward. From time to time, a variety of magical beasts would appear and attack him, but they were all killed by Long Chen.
Long Chen finally understood that the Nine Nether Path was a benefit for his disciples. He didn’t know where the Nine Nether Road came from, but it was able to absorb the ghosts on the battlefield and turn them into pure soul power.
At the same time, he was also happy for Meng Qi and Tang Wan’er. The two of them were both soul experts, so the harvest here was unimaginable, especially Meng Qi.
As Long Chen moved forwards, the soul beasts grew stronger and stronger. However, with Long Chen’s strength, they weren’t much.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, a figure suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Shui Guanzhi."
Long Chen was slightly surprised. He had actually run into Shui Shui Guanzhi here. When Shui Shui Guanzhi saw Long Chen, he didn’t say a word. Suddenly, his hands formed a seal and a huge water prison instantly locked Long Chen in place.
"Open!"
Long Chen suddenly roared out in anger. His soul force exploded and the water prison instantly shattered. Not only did the water prison disappear, even the water prison disappeared. A transparent shadow appeared in front of Long Chen’s eyes.
Puff.
An enormous soul arrow pierced through the shadow, and the shadow instantly disintegrated into pure soul power that filled the sky.
Long Chen was indeed surprised when Shui Guanzhi appeared, but when he cast the spell, Long Chen immediately discovered a flaw. This Nine Nether Road’s space was special. Aside from soul power, there was no other element that could be used.
Therefore, when Shui Guanzhi made his move, Long Chen immediately released his soul force, shattering the illusion in front of him and killing the guy who used the illusion.
After the transparent shadow was killed, Long Chen could feel a faint presence. It was as if there was a vague consciousness within this shadow that was extremely strange.
After killing the shadow, Long Chen was too lazy to absorb the soul power. The soul power was useless to him right now. If it wasn’t for the fact that he had consumed too much soul power, he wouldn’t need to replenish his soul power.
As Long Chen quickly walked forward, the other disciples also entered the Nine Nether Path. The only fortunate thing was that there were three disciples that stayed behind to accompany Gu Yang, and they were all people with extremely poor soul power. If they entered, then any normal soul beast would be able to take their lives.
The three people that were left behind were the same as Gu Yang. They were all well-built and walked the path of power. The four of them looked at each other and felt sympathy for each other.
The Vice Sect Leader waited until everyone had entered the Nine Nether Path before taking out a chessboard. The chessboard was not an ordinary chessboard but a map.
The path on the map was densely packed and crisscrossed like a maze. Within the maze, countless specks of light were slowly glowing.
Those glowing spots represented a disciple. However, there were too many glowing points. No one knew which one was the glowing point.
"Eh, why is this spot so much brighter than the others?" A Sect Leader said.
“That’s because he killed more soul beasts and absorbed too much soul force, so it’s different on the board. Right now, he’s already so far ahead of everyone else. I wonder who it is?” An experienced head teacher explained that he had already participated in several trials.
The Vice Sect Leader extended his old finger and lightly tapped the light spot. At the same time, his left hand formed a seal and the map on the board disappeared, revealing a figure.
“It’s her?”
In that scene, a beautiful girl stretched out her jade-like hand and a giant soul arrow flew out. It actually killed all of the soul beasts in front of it. Its power was frightening, but it was still very easy for her.
That girl was Meng Qi. After she figured out the situation on the Nine Nether Path, she no longer hesitated and crazily killed the soul beast to absorb its soul power.
Although her soul seed originated from Long Chen, it had already changed with her cultivation. By absorbing this soul force, she could crazily strengthen her soul sea and raise her realm. In this place, she was like a fish back in water.
After seeing Meng Qi, a few more light dots quickly lit up. These were the four Skywalker level experts. What was surprising was that the fifth person wasn’t Long Chen, but Tang Wan’er.
"Where did Long Chen go?" Everyone could not help but be stunned. Could it be that he was just doing his duty and was going to continue on?
Chapter 725 - The Future Lake

"The heck, why is it turning back again?"
Long Chen felt depressed. He had been walking the entire way and killed countless soul beasts. He had come across countless forks in the road, but he had actually returned to where he was before. .
“I can’t continue like this. I have to think of a way!”
Long Chen continued to move forward. When he saw the fork in the road, he left a mark before continuing on. He realized that he had not gone far when he arrived at another intersection. Both roads were unfamiliar to him.
“Fuck, I don’t want to play with this anymore!”
Long Chen cursed angrily and closed his eyes to sense. He felt that there was something he needed on this Nine Nether Road. However, this maze of paths made him circle around, causing him to lose his patience.
“It’s this direction!”
Long Chen suddenly walked in a direction. There was no way out here but through the fog. A long blade suddenly appeared in Long Chen’s hand.
When he had used the second move of the Sky-Opening, his long blade had exploded. Now, he had to find another one to replace it.
This was a crescent moon saber. Two-thirds of it was the handle of a saber and one third of it was the body of a saber. It was very different from Long Chen’s usual long saber.
After stroking the fog for two hours, a small path appeared in front of him. However, Long Chen didn’t follow the path, but followed it. He was sure that he was walking in a straight line.
However, if he followed the path, who knew where he would end up? He wanted to find something from the Vice Sect Leader’s mouth.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a muffled sound rang out in front of them. Long Chen hastily rushed forward and saw a small path in front of him. A woman fell onto her back. Her face was pale and she had a painful struggle on her face.
"Pa!"
Long Chen stepped forward and pointed a finger at the woman’s forehead. A powerful soul force entered her sea of consciousness. A powerful soul force was crazily attacking her, but in the end, it was completely shattered by Long Chen’s soul force.
“Many thanks for Senior Brother’s assistance!” The woman opened her eyes and spoke with a grateful expression.
Just now, she was attacked by several powerful soul beasts. Although she was killed with all her might, she was still attacked by a soul beast into her sea of consciousness, almost losing her soul.
When her soul was being attacked, she couldn’t even crush the jade medallion. Just thinking about it caused her to feel a wave of lingering fear as she felt endless gratitude towards Long Chen.
"Of course. Let me ask you, have you ever met a place where you can predict the future?" Long Chen asked.
"Senior brother Long Chen, you …" The woman was shocked.
“I just wanted to see it for myself. I didn’t have any other intentions. Have you met one before?” Long Chen hastily said.
“I didn’t meet her, but I met with a senior from the seventeenth branch before. She said she met a future lake, and that future lake actually asked her if she wanted to know her future. She was so scared that she turned around and ran.”
"Future lake? This name is quite mysterious. Do you know which direction it is in? " Long Chen asked.
"Senior brother Long Chen, are you really going?" "Vice Sect Leader, he …" The woman said somewhat cautiously.
“Relax, why would I do such a foolish thing like divining the future? It would only destroy one’s dao heart. I just want to see it for myself.” Long Chen shook his head.
Hearing Long Chen’s words, the woman relaxed. “I remember where. That senior sister was very good. When she met me, she told me not to go in that direction. Senior brother Long Chen, if you want to meet me, I’ll take you there once!”
After the girl finished speaking, she led Long Chen in a certain direction. After a dozen twists and turns, Long Chen was amazed at the girl’s memory. It seemed that no one who could participate in the trial was a simple person.
“Senior brother Long Chen, we’re here!”
Long Chen looked around and saw that there was nothing around him. Just as he was about to ask, the woman said, "The fork in the road to the left is the path to the lake in the future, I … I don’t dare to go over there. I heard from that senior sister that it’s very strange. "
“Many thanks. I’ll head over to take a look. When I heard you say it was so terrifying, my scalp felt a little numb, too.” Long Chen said with a smile.
“Senior brother Long Chen, it’s best that you don’t go. There really isn’t much to see!” The woman said with a frightened expression.
“But, how can people be defeated by fear? I’ve decided to go take a look. You should go back first!”
After Long Chen finished speaking, he no longer bothered with the girl. After walking a few steps, a thick fog covered his line of sight, and he could no longer see the girl. Long Chen hastily quickened his steps and ran forward.
But after running for an entire hour or so, Long Chen still hadn’t seen any future lakes. Could she have tricked me? That can’t be! I saved her, so she had no reason to trick me!
However, Long Chen discovered that there were no soul beasts on this path, nor were there any forks in the road. It was different from the other paths, so he could only continue onward.
After walking for six hours, the road ahead suddenly disappeared.
“F * ck, you really tricked me!” Long Chen couldn’t help but be enraged.
"Do you want to know your future?"
Suddenly, a wave of spiritual fluctuations could be felt. The mist slowly dispersed and a lake actually appeared. The lake surface was as smooth as a mirror and shrouded by mist. It was extremely mysterious.
Long Chen stared at the lake for a long time. Could it be that this lake had life, and could actually emit soul fluctuations?
"I do. I would like to ask, do you want money?" Long Chen probed.
The surface of the lake was silent for a while. Suddenly, a graceful figure slowly rose up from the lake. It seemed to be a woman. However, it was hard to see the specifics.
“I don’t want money, but I need you to help me with something,” the figure said.
"What kind of help?" Long Chen vigilantly said.
"Take me away from here," the figure said.
"How?"
"Let me enter your soul space and bring me out of this world. Not only can I let you see your future, I can also nurture you into the strongest person in this world!" The figure said.
The heck, why does this sound so familiar? Why does it look so similar to the Ghost Sand(the Evil Corpse dude from the monastery trial test), and it feels a little similar.
Long Chen suddenly sneered, “If I’m not wrong, you must be a big shot of the evil way. Even though your soul has been destroyed, you can still reform it here. It seems like you must have been an extremely awesome person when you were alive.”
The figure did not immediately reply, but stayed silent for a while before saying, "You are very smart, you guessed right. Even though I’ve been dead for countless years, whenever you mention my name, countless experts of the righteous path would tremble and prostrate themselves.
How about it, brat, cooperate with me, take me out, and return with me to the evil ways. Whatever you want, this sovereign will give you! "
Long Chen’s mind was racing. He knew that this guy relied on this mysterious lake to survive, unable to leave, and unable to attack others. That was why he had used such a tempting tone to seduce him.
Long Chen shook his head. "The vice sect master has warned us repeatedly. If someone wants to tell us a fortune, then ignore them. That person is a swindler. He will take our lives!"
"That is pure bullshit. I live in the lake of the future, when have I ever taken someone’s life? “Those people want to see the future. I’m just helping them, that’s all.” The figure was clearly somewhat angry.
"Oh, I understand. You purposely let them see the future, then change their future so that they see a tragic end, completely destroying their dao heart." Long Chen suddenly said, enlightened.
“Wrong, this future lake is the Xuan Dao Sect’s treasure. The projection of the Mirror of Samsara, that reincarnation realm is a treasure that is as famous as my Evil God’s skull. How would I have the ability to change it?” The figure said.
Long Chen was shocked. He didn’t think that the Nine Nether Path would have such a huge secret. He hastily asked, “Can this lake predict the future of humans?”
“Of course, but I advise you not to use it. The future is real, but it’s also fake. To predict the future, one has to accept karma, and the Rebirth Realm will not allow one to endure karma. Instead, it will attach it to others.” The figure said.
"Isn’t this just playing tricks on my disciple? Why would you put such a thing here? " Long Chen asked.
"This Nine Nether Road is actually a great formation. It has gathered countless amounts of soul power. Without the projection of the Reincarnation Stage, how can it support such a great formation?"
When Long Chen heard this, he understood. It was likely that even the vice sect master didn’t know of this fellow’s existence. Long Chen had secretly used his soul force to probe a bit and sure enough, his path of retreat had been cut off.
However, Long Chen was not afraid. He said indifferently, "Then I would like to ask senior for a favor. Can you borrow the power of the future lake to help me deduce a part of my body?
The origin of these things. "
“That’s not a problem. I can help you start it up, but did you agree to what I said before?” the shadow said.
“No problem, it’s enough for me to be on the right path, it’s also good to be on the wrong path, but, I need to ask senior for a favor first, can you help me lure my companion here?” Long Chen probed.
"Which one?"
“She’s the one with the strongest soul power other than me!” Long Chen said.
"Is that her?"
Suddenly, a figure appeared above the lake. It was Meng Qi. Meng Qi had just killed a group of soul beasts and was refining her soul power.
Long Chen’s heart trembled. This guy really had an unknown ability. He nodded and said, “Senior, please lure her over. Because one of my items is on her body.”
"Ah!"
Suddenly, she cried out in alarm. Meng Qi appeared beside Long Chen out of thin air. Meng Qi was still shaken up, but before she could understand what was going on, Long Chen extended his hand out and said, "Meng Qi, give me the Soul Suppressing Jade."
Long Chen had given his Nine-Striped Soul Suppressing Jade to Meng Qi. This thing was extremely helpful to Meng Qi.
Meng Qi was a little confused, but she still took out the Soul Suppressing Jade from her jade neck. With a wave of her hand, Long Chen sent it flying towards the figure.
"Thank you for the trouble, senior!"
When Meng Qi saw the figure, her pupils contracted. When she saw the lake water again, her face paled. She instantly understood that Long Chen was going to do something crazy.
