Chapter 129 Three Star Combat Strength
And deep in the Savage Mountains, a bronze gate stands, exuding an ancient and barbaric atmosphere, and everyone comes here for this.

"Everyone, this trip to the secret realm of life and death is up to you, and you can't fight back after you get out."

The powerful warrior, who had a strong aura and seemed to have entered the threshold of life and death, spoke.

This is the rule of every Secret Realm of Life and Death. Anyone who dies in the Secret Realm of Life and Death, whether it is an accident or a battle, will be regarded as having died on the path of climbing the martial arts path, and people from the outside world are not allowed to retaliate.

Otherwise, if there is a situation where you use your power to suppress others in the secret realm of life and death, then why bother practicing martial arts? Just go home and farm.

Those who can come here naturally know the existence of this rule. No one is born under this rule and no one objects to it.

"Okay, in that case, let's enter the Secret Realm of Life and Death."

As soon as the words fell, everyone set out to enter the Gate of Life and Death. Soon, the place became quiet again, with only a few traces proving that someone had set foot here not long ago.

“I wonder how many people on this journey to the Secret Realm of Life and Death can enter the realm of life and death and be on par with us.”

"Last time, only one person entered the Secret Realm of Life and Death, and that person was from the Heavenly Sword Continent. This time, there will be no more than three, or even none at all. It is not impossible."

In the void, two kings hiding in the dark started talking to each other. After all, this was the most prosperous young generation in the True Spirit Continent. Each of them was a peerless genius who had the potential to enter the realm of life and death. Their importance was unimaginable.

Therefore, every time the secret realm of life and death is opened, a king will come to protect them to prevent them from being attacked by demons and other alien races.

As for where the king comes from... naturally it is the nine sects in the world and the major related forces. After all... there are very few independent cultivators who can reach this point now, and the vast majority of them are backed by a fifth-grade or even fourth-grade force.

"Alas, the realm of life and death is too difficult. Even I relied on luck to narrowly cross this threshold."

"There's no point in saying more. Let's wait and see what happens. We'll know what happens in three months."

……

In the shallow sea of ​​the east, there is a powerful force called Dragon God Palace. Dragon God Palace is extremely ancient. Every generation of palace masters are called Dragon Kings, and they are all top powerhouses. The contemporary old Dragon King is a rare top king in the world.

Even though the Dragon God Palace is on the decline as the current Dragon King is about to die, it still has supreme majesty, suppressing countless forces in the Eastern Shallow Sea so that they dare not move, including the fifth-rank forces.

After all, there is a gap between the fifth-grade forces, which are divided into two levels. Among them, there are the Dragon God Palace, the four major families in the world, and several of the nine sects, which have been passed down since ancient times and are considered senior fifth-grade forces.

A force of this level would not be provoked without reason, even if it was a fourth-grade force with a crowned emperor in charge. It was not worth it.

The other type is an ordinary fifth-grade force, whose inheritance may not be very long, and the strength of the king in the sect is also average. This is also the level of most of the fifth-grade forces in the True Spirit World.

For example, Emperor Xuanzong, who was ruled by Empress Xuan, was actually very special. He did not have a deep foundation, but Empress Xuan was incredibly powerful.

There is also the Chen family, a fifth-grade force that is very capable of hiding. It has been passed down for more than 100,000 years and has never declined during this period. It has produced countless powerful people, and many of them have been crowned emperors.

Until he is pushed to the extreme, no one can imagine how powerful his hidden strength is.

Deep inside the Dragon God Palace, in an ancient hall, there are dozens of figures standing. Each one of them is a top-notch existence that dominates the area. Ordinary Spirit Sea Realm masters are not even qualified to stand here.

They were at least great masters, and there were also powerful people in high positions in the Dragon God Palace, including Long Biyun and Mo Feng. There were also many powerful people of the older generation who were in seclusion in the depths of the Dragon God Palace, hoping to make further progress.

Standing at the top is the old Dragon King, who is rumored to be the most honorable person in the Dragon God Palace and the oldest king of the human race, who is often in the death contest.

"Everyone, I have summoned you from all over the True Spirit Continent today because I have something important to tell you."

The Dragon King spoke.

"Palace Master (Grandpa), please speak."

Everyone saluted.

"Some time ago, Queen Xuan discovered a big secret in the deep sea, a secret that concerns the entire True Spirit World."

Upon hearing this, everyone including Long Biyun had question marks on their faces, not knowing what the Dragon King meant.

"Please explain clearly, Palace Master. We really don't understand."

"In the deep sea, there is a passage to another world."

As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a huge rock falling into the water, causing huge waves. Everyone's faces changed drastically.

At their level, what happens in the spiritual world is no longer a secret to them.

Just like the great catastrophe that happened one hundred thousand years ago, many people knew that it was caused by the invasion of evil races such as the demons, but only a few people knew that the demons came from another world, which is... the other world mentioned by the Dragon King.

"Damn it, how could this happen!"

"Why is there a world passage in the deep sea? I have never noticed it when I traveled in the deep sea in my early years."

"If the demons invade, what should we do?"

……

Suddenly, many people were shocked and confused by the news.

"Enough, silence!"

The old Dragon King let out a low roar, and a powerful force instantly imprisoned the place, making everyone calm down.

"No need to do that. Xuan Hou has explored that space passage and found that it is inaccessible to those above the King level. If you force your way in, the passage will collapse and all living things will die."

"Then Palace Master, why don't we destroy the passage immediately..."

"madness!"

The Dragon King was a little angry: "The Queen of Xuan has also explored the other world. Although there are demons in it, there are also humans. The True Spirit World will have a great disaster in the future. That world may be our escape route!"

Everyone was silent, and the man who spoke calmed down and realized that what the Dragon King said made sense. He also thought of a deeper level. The Dragon King's time was coming, and if there really was another world, then perhaps it could delay the passing of the Dragon King's lifespan...

Thinking of this, the man trembled. Although the old Dragon King had a very high state of mind and had reached the point where he was not afraid of life or death, it did not mean that he wanted to die, otherwise there would not have been such a thing as the Dragon King breaking through the death barrier.

"Palace Master, I am willing to go ahead and explore that world for you."

Just as everyone's thoughts were in a mess, someone took a step forward and clasped his fists.

"Ancestor Long Zuo, it's actually Ancestor Long Zuo."

Someone behind him exclaimed. Long Zuo looked straight ahead, his face solemn, his aura above that of a half-step king, he was a strong man who had entered the realm of life and death.

"Not yet. The world over there is too dangerous. I will discuss this with Queen Xuan and then make a decision."

Unexpectedly, the Dragon King shook his head and refused.

"From today on, Dragon God Heavenly Palace will gather all its forces and gather them at the headquarters. We will make plans after we have investigated thoroughly."

The Dragon King gave the order, and everyone who heard this shocking secret responded without any hesitation.

Soon after, orders came out from this highest hall, and the Dragon God Palace, which was a huge force with tentacles extending to who knows how far, began to shrink.

Although this move was done in secret, it was after all a huge behemoth that had been entrenched for countless years. Once it moved, it involved too many people and things, and it could not be concealed at all.

Soon, almost the entire Eastern Shallow Sea and Eastern Domain Group knew about the actions of the Dragon God Palace, and even some forces in the Tianwu Domain heard about it.

Although the Dragon God Palace is not located in the Tianwu Domain, it is indeed a powerful force comparable to the nine sects in the world, and even stronger than some of them.

For such a powerful force to take such an action of weakening itself, there must be a deeper reason behind it. Could it be that... the Dragon King's time has really come and he is about to fall?

But no matter how outsiders speculated, Dragon God Palace did not make any response, and no one could find out why Dragon God Palace made such a decision.

After asking everyone in the Dragon God Palace, they either didn't know or were extremely secretive about it.

As the Dragon God Palace took such actions, the secret realm of life and death gradually came to an end with the passage of time.

As many geniuses stepped out of the Gate of Life and Death, news about the Secret Realm of Life and Death also appeared. In this Secret Realm of Life and Death, there are two people on the verge of a breakthrough. It is estimated that it won’t be long before two more Kings of the Realm of Life and Death will appear in the True Spirit World.

Of course, this information is only spread among the top levels. For those middle and lower level warriors, they don’t even know about the secret realm of life and death. Even if they know, they would probably just use it as a topic of conversation.

In the Thunder Domain, Thunder Mountains, deep inside the Chen family, Chen Fan has awakened from his retreat. As expected, the mystery of time has been advanced to 10%.

Compared to the mystery of thunder that is about to be perfected, it looks very low, but its effect is extremely great. It can be coordinated with any aspect, whether it is attack power, speed, or defense.

……

Boom!

There was a roar of thunder in the Thunder Mountain Range, which landed in the void and shattered the space, revealing the pitch-black nothingness. Even the thunder that was omnipresent and lingered all year round retreated at this moment and disappeared without a trace.

Deep within the Thunder Mountain Range, two lightning shadows, one black and one blue, collided. The boundless and violent energy made the heaven and earth give way, and the laws that maintained order were crumbling under the impact.

With a swish sound, a black lightning shadow streaked across the sky and fell to the earth, while a blue lightning shadow hung high in the sky, as dazzling as the sun.

"The junior lost."

The black thunder dissipated, and Chen Fan's figure appeared from it. Although he lost, there was no frustration on his face.

“You lost, but you also won.”

The voice of King Lei Ling sounded, and then a blue lightning shadow fell from the sky and came to Chen Fan's side.

"Fan'er, your strength far exceeds my expectations. With the realm of life and death, you actually have the power comparable to that of a three-star king. It's incredible."

King Lei Ling sighed deeply. Even though he was knowledgeable, he was shocked for a while after discovering Chen Fan's strength. This was not the combat power that could be possessed in this era at all.

According to the ancient books of the Chen family, the strongest person in the gate of life and death in this era is Xuan Hou, who can compete with the two-star king. The older one is Yuan Huang, but his combat power is only at the peak of two stars.

A three-star fighter like Chen Fan could only exist in ancient times. He is simply... subverting the rules of the true spirit world.

As for King Lei Ling's praise, Chen Fan acted very calmly, and in King Lei Ling's eyes, he was not surprised by praise or criticism.

But in fact, Chen Fan was really calm, because he didn't use his full strength at all, let alone the mystery of time that he had just broken through, he didn't even use the mystery of space.

When fighting with King Lei Ling, Chen Fan only used the sixth-level destructive thunder soul and the mystery of thunder that was close to perfection, but even so, he was still able to burst out such power.

Even in terms of thunder soul, Chen Fan is slightly superior to King Lei Ling. That's right, up to now, King Lei Ling's thunder soul is actually only at the seventh level.

Well, actually, the seventh-order thunder soul is already very terrifying. It is called the emperor's martial soul. As the name suggests, it is a realm that can only be reached by the emperor. The Dragon King is also at this stage.

However, Chen Fan's Thunder Soul has destructive attributes, comparable to a seventh-level martial soul, and is naturally superior to ordinary Thunder Souls. That's why Thunder Spirit King is restricted in every way in front of him.

But this can better reflect the power of King Lei Ling. Even if the Thunder Soul is suppressed, he can still defeat Chen Fan easily. In particular, his level of comprehension of the profound meaning of thunder has absolutely reached perfection.

Chen Fan even felt that King Lei Ling's strength had reached the level of an emperor, comparable to the current Queen Xuan and others.

Of course, this is just Chen Fan's guess. He can't be sure of the details. After all, a four-star combat power can also beat him.

Even if he used his full strength, he would probably only be at the level of a three-star overlord, quite a distance from four stars.

"Grandmaster, with my current strength, what level can I rank in the True Spirit Continent?"

Chen Fan asked curiously.

The True Spirit Continent is very large and is the center of the True Spirit World. There are hundreds of kings in total. These kings have varying strengths. The weaker ones may only have one-star combat power, but the stronger ones, like the Void Emperor, have a maximum combat power of six stars.

Chen Fan didn't know much about them, but King Lei Ling was different. Having entered the realm of life and death for hundreds of years, he knew the kings of the True Spirit Continent very well, if not like the back of his hand.

"As far as I know, your strength ranks among the top 30 in the True Spirit Continent."

"The top thirty?"

King Lei Ling pondered for a while and continued, "The nine sects, the four major families, and the dominant forces in the four shallow seas all have three-star kings or above. Some forces may have more than one. In addition, there are some old guys who are very hidden, so it is already very good to be in the top 30."

King Lei Ling thought that Chen Fan was dissatisfied, but he was surprised that he could be ranked in the top 30 with his three-star combat power.

Inexplicably, Chen Fan felt a sense of accomplishment and pride in his heart. It had been more than ten years since he traveled through time, and he now possessed the most powerful force on this continent. This was indeed something to be proud of.

But soon, Chen Fan got rid of that emotion. The journey to the ninth level of the realm of life and death was still long, and he couldn't stop halfway.

"Ancestor, I want to ask about the thunder tribulation that comes with entering the realm of life and death."

"Oh, you're going to break through?"

Lightning flashed in King Lei Ling's eyes. He knew that this hurdle could not stop Chen Fan, but he did not expect it to be so fast. How old is he? Less than 30 years old, to be precise, only 26 years old, which pushed Xuan Hou's record forward by nine years!
