Chapter 111: Changes in the ruins, a surge in strength
In fact, if it were just this, Jing Aoxuan would not be too scared. There were no strong people in the chaotic land. At most, it would attract a master, and he might not necessarily attack them.
But the place where they are is inside a sect controlled by the demons, so there must be powerful demons watching this place.
So much time has passed, maybe some powerful demons have already headed this way.
Moreover, the people coming are definitely too powerful for them to resist. Once they start to attack, the probability of them surviving will be infinitely close to zero.
"Master Yun, to what extent has the formation weakened now?"
"The Gate of Life and Death may be broken with all my strength."
Mr. Yun pondered for a while and gave the answer.
"too difficult."
Jing Aoxuan shook her head. Although she had the trump card given by the Thunder Emperor, the Thunder Emperor was only a half-step king and was still some distance away from the threshold of life and death.
Yun Lao naturally knew this very well and continued.
"The strength of the formation is still weakening. In about three hours, it will be reduced to the level of an ordinary half-step king."
"Three hours."
Jing Aoxuan fell into silence. This period of time was not long, but it was far from short either.
Before coming in, Old Yun had sensed the aura of many powerful Spiritual Sea Realm masters. If he guessed correctly, they should be the powerful Spiritual Sea Realm masters from the Land of Chaos.
In other words, they were not far from here, and three hours was enough for them to get there.
As for those powerful demons, they could not be identified because there was no trace to be followed, but the shorter the time, the better. Otherwise, they would be blocked outside the formation and it would be a huge trouble.
"Master Yun, please try to see if you can speed up the weakening of the formation. I will go find Chen Fan."
Jing Aoxuan hesitated for a moment and made a decision.
The reason for going to find Chen Fan is that Chen Fan is strong enough. Even though he has just entered the Spiritual Sea Realm, he is able to force back many Spiritual Sea Realm masters in the Chaos Land. It can be seen that his strength is strong and is very helpful to the current situation.
The second reason is that Chen Fan is suspected to be the source of this incident, and finding him may provide some remedial measures.
Finally, there is Chen Fan's identity. After all, he is the young master of the Chen family, with an extraordinary background. He is also her fiancé and the engagement has been confirmed. It is reasonable for her to go look for him.
As for how many other factors are mixed in, such as affection, love, or something else... I'm not quite sure.
The ruins are not small, but for a warrior at the Star Realm like Jing Aoxuan, it would take less than half an hour to walk through them.
But after Jing Aoxuan walked through the entire ruins, she still couldn't find any trace of Chen Fan, as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth.
Little did she know that the person she had been thinking about had already reached the most critical moment...
hum~
In an unknown and independent space, a special energy spread out, causing ripples. Under this force, even the space appeared tiny cracks.
In the very center, there stood a figure, it was Chen Fan.
"As expected of the true spirit origin, this change is truly amazing."
Even though it was expected, Chen Fan was still shocked. No wonder the ancient emperor said this was a great opportunity.
Chen Fan's cultivation level has not changed much, he is still in the early stage of Linghai Realm, but has reached the peak of the early stage.
But the true energy contained in the body is several times stronger and the quality is several times stronger.
What concept is this?
The Gangling body, which contains two kinds of vital energy, has a true energy quality that is only two or three times stronger than ordinary true energy.
And now Chen Fan, with the quality of his true essence alone, is able to suppress the rare Gangling Body that can be seen once in a thousand years.
In addition to the physical level, the soul level has also been amplified several times. If we say that the previous Chen Fan was the number one prodigy of the contemporary era.
Now, looking at the hundreds of thousands of years of martial arts history in the True Spirit World, he can be said to be unique. In the ancient golden age, even the emperor and even the supreme being might not be able to resist accepting him as a disciple.
Even though it's just an increase of a few times, it depends on the basis. For example, the soul strength of an ordinary person is only one, so even if it is increased by three times, it is only three.
But Chen Fan's basic soul strength is ten, and a three-fold increase is thirty. The difference between them is undoubtedly a world of difference.
The power of the true spirit origin is naturally not limited to this, but most of it is dormant in the depths of the dragon of destiny, and needs to be simmered over a low fire and polished over time. These are the only changes that have appeared so far.
Perhaps there are some other levels, more subtle changes, but Chen Fan can't see them.
However, for now, it is not a loss. The significant increase in talent allows Chen Fan to have the possibility to truly fight against the demon clan on his own, and even defeat the future catastrophe.
In the past, he was very talented and, to some extent, even better than Ye Chen, but after that person became a king, his cultivation progress was like a leap forward.
It only took one year from becoming a king to defeating the top emperor in the world.
Not to mention Queen Xuan, even the emperors, kings, and even the supreme beings in ancient times might not be able to achieve this speed, and the same was true for Chen Fan before.
If there is no trick in this, he would never believe it even if he is beaten to death, no matter it is the help of the "Heavenly Way" hidden between heaven and earth, the good fortune, or the guidance left in secret by some ancient powerful person, such as the Ancient Emperor.
Even outside of the true spirit, the existence named "God"... everything is possible.
But now that he has integrated the essence of the true spirit, he may not be unable to do this.
What's the point of following the direction of the original work? So many people died and so many things happened. It's better to create a better world on your own.
Although it is a bit difficult, Chen Fan feels that he can do it.
"It seems that there have been some significant changes in the outside world."
After Chen Fan came back to his senses, he saw Jing Aoxuan who was looking for him in the ruins outside, and chuckled.
This space was opened up briefly by him with the help of the laws of space when the power of "Heavenly Way" had not yet dissipated.
The space is small, but it is safe. As long as the mystery of space has not been mastered, it is impossible to detect this place.
"Well, has it reached the critical point? There is still time, let's break through first."
Just as Chen Fan was about to go out, he suddenly realized his own cultivation level and made a plan without much hesitation.
There are bottlenecks in the small realm. Although it is the same as not having one for Chen Fan, it is naturally a good thing to be able to break through.
It hasn't been long since Chen Fan entered the Spirit Sea Realm, probably only about a month, and he is about to break through again. If this were to be made public it would probably shock the entire True Spirit Continent, but it doesn't matter anymore. He now has the capital to face strong enemies.
Outside the Blood Blade Sect, on a hilltop that was previously uninhabited, there are now several figures emitting a majestic aura.
"Old Ghost Zhang, this is your territory. Have you ever discovered this kind of spatial fluctuation in the past?"
"never had."
The one who replied was a sinister old man, who was also the Grand Master of the Blood Blade Sect who had been confronted not long ago.
His face didn't look good at the moment.
Anyone who finds out that there is a completely unknown place in the area under his jurisdiction, which has been hidden for many years and has not been discovered, will feel bad.
Of course, the main reason was that it attracted people from other forces. If possible, who wouldn't want to enjoy this ancient relic space alone? "That's a bit strange. You, the Hundred Blood Alliance, have ruled this area for hundreds of years. It's impossible that there has been no movement for hundreds of years, and then suddenly there is movement and we encounter it.
Could it be related to the person who claimed to be the Supreme Envoy of the Thunder Empire?"
Someone speculated.
"Whether it is true or not, we will know once we break this formation."
Zhang Laogui snorted coldly, with a hint of greed in his eyes.
This is an ancient relic. Everyone knows that the ancient times were the golden age when martial arts flourished and there was no telling how many kings there were in the realm of life and death.
The ruins that have been preserved from ancient times and have never been opened must contain good things. I guess I would get rich if I could get some treasures from them.
If he had better luck... greed would grow in Zhang Laogui's eyes, maybe he would still have a chance to become the king!
Just as Zhang Laogui was daydreaming, several auras approached rapidly from the distant sky, and in just a few breaths, they landed on the top of the Blood Blade Sect's mountain.
"Moruomen, Huangquan Palace, Hidden Demon Sect."
Zhang Laogui said one by one, his voice sank, and then he typed out a message silently.
"Haha, Brother Zhang, I didn't expect that we were still a step behind."
A masked man laughed.
Even though Old Ghost Zhang was extremely dissatisfied, he did not explode in the end, all because the masked man who spoke was the Supreme Being of the Yin Demon Sect.
The Yinmo Sect, which is backed by one of the three major sects in China, is itself a senior real-level strongman and is not easy to deal with.
"No, no, we just arrived."
"Haha, Brother Zhang, did you find anything?"
"Nothing."
The Supreme Leader of the Hidden Demon Sect nodded, without any doubt. They rushed over as soon as they sensed the spatial fluctuation. Even if they were faster than them, Old Ghost Zhang was at most a little faster than them. It would be unreasonable if he really discovered something.
"I wonder if Brother Zhang, as the host here, knows anything about this formation."
The Supreme Master of the Hidden Demon Sect seemed to have noticed something and asked in a serious tone.
"Not at all. Brother Luo, did you discover something?"
There was a hint of surprise in Zhang Laogui's tone.
"This doesn't seem to be a man-made formation. I once read in an ancient book that in ancient times, when a treasure born from nature and raised by heaven and earth was born, it would naturally give rise to a great formation of heaven and earth to protect it."
The Supreme Master of the Hidden Demon Sect hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.
After these words were spoken, Zhang Laogui and everyone except the Supreme of Hidden Demon Sect were stunned for a moment, and then their eyes became fiery.
They didn't know what the great formation of heaven and earth was, nor did they know what the treasures born and raised by nature meant. They only knew that inside this formation, there was a treasure, a treasure that might be beyond their imagination.
The premise is that the Supreme Master of the Hidden Demon Sect did not lie to them... In fact, even the Supreme Master of the Hidden Demon Sect is a little confused now, because even he only saw a few vague words in the ancient books, so he could only guess.
But this doesn't seem to be important. What's important is that I have successfully aroused their interest in this place...
"Brother Luo, do you have a way to open this formation?"
If there is anyone who can open the formation now, the Supreme Master of the Hidden Demon Sect who knows this formation best is definitely one of them.
But… "I just took a closer look at the ancient book, how come I became the person who knows this formation best!"
The Supreme Leader of the Hidden Demon Sect had a headache, but in order to keep these people, he had to pretend to study the formation.
But he didn't need to act anymore, because this formation was so profound that even if he thought about it for a long time, he could only find a way to break it by force.
While the Hidden Demon Sect's Supreme was conducting research, most of the powerful Spirit Sea Realm masters from the Land of Chaos who had met Chen Fan before had arrived.
They all stood beside the Supreme Master of the Hidden Demon Sect and watched him study the formation. Among them were some powerful Spirit Sea Realm masters who were mortal enemies of the other.
But now, even if they are mortal enemies, they have to suppress their emotions. What's more, for those of them who are on the path of evil, how can there be real mortal enemies?
It's just that the benefits are not enough.
And now, the benefits of this suspected ancient treasure are enough for them to put aside their pride.
Just like this, time passed slowly, and soon the power of the formation dropped to the level of a half-step king.
"Old Monster Luo, are you still not well?"
A senior real-life powerful man who arrived later frowned.
"It's not that simple, this is an ancient formation, how about you come!"
The Supreme Master of the Hidden Demon Sect was also in a bad mood. At the beginning, he did want to delay, but after studying it for a while, he realized how ridiculous his previous idea was.
Even though the power of the formation was continuously decreasing, it was still beyond his ability to break through.
"Um...not good!"
The Hidden Demon Sect's Supreme was cursing, and suddenly his expression changed. He retreated violently, and disappeared from the Blood Blade Sect's mountain gate in the blink of an eye.
The other Spirit Sea Realm masters also reacted quickly and left the Blood Blade Sect's mountain gate in less than half a breath.
Although most people don’t know what is happening, it doesn’t matter. Caution is their hallmark. Only those who run the fastest when encountering danger can survive. This is the way to survive in a chaotic land.
And just within a breath of time when everyone left, thunder burst out at the edge of the formation where they were, and a violent explosion sounded, completely covering the Blood Blade Sect's mountain gate. In an instant, it turned into nothingness.
The Hidden Demon Sect's Tai Mian remained expressionless, but he couldn't stop feeling scared in his heart. Fortunately, he felt a slight fluctuation when he was studying the formation, otherwise he might have died on the spot.
Then he looked at the equally dumbfounded masters standing beside him, cursing in his heart: "Damn it, they are all a bunch of old foxes, running faster than anyone else."
The people here were extremely alert from beginning to end, otherwise they would not have been able to react quickly and avoid this fatal blow...including him.
"Someone!"
When the Hidden Demon Sect's Supreme was cursing everyone in his heart, someone beside him exclaimed.
Immediately, it attracted the attention of everyone including the Supreme Master of Hidden Demon Sect.
“There really is someone.”
As the power of thunder dissipated, everyone was finally able to look directly at the Blood Blade Sect's mountain gate. They discovered that in the place that had been razed to the ground, two figures had appeared... well... two figures who were about to run away.
"stop!"
Seeing that the two men wanted to run away, the Hidden Demon Sect's Supreme was not willing to let them go. He just roared and sent out his martial arts will to intimidate the two men.
However, the two men were not affected at all, and they turned into streams of light and escaped into the distance.
