Chapter 214: Victory
In just a short moment, three strong men were directly defeated by Chai Xin, and their body and soul were destroyed.

This was undoubtedly a nightmare for everyone present.

Those who were originally watching the excitement suddenly came to their senses, stopped hesitating, hastily selected an area on the island, and rushed in immediately.

At this point, everyone knows that there is an almighty demon king here with earth-shattering fighting power. Who would dare to stay here for long?

No matter how exciting and lively it is, it is not as important as your own life.

Those who were in cahoots with the young man in golden armor also wanted to escape, but they were suppressed by a powerful aura and could not move at all.

At this moment, these people no longer had their original arrogance and conceit. Their faces were pale and they looked at Chai Xin as if they were looking at a demon walking out of hell.

"Please spare my life. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been deceived by Xu Tianming and come here to kill you..."

A scholar in blue begged for mercy with a trembling voice. If he had not been unable to control his body, he would have knelt down and kowtowed.

It was not until this time that Chai Xin knew that the young man in golden armor was actually called Xu Tianming.

"Fellow Daoist, if you are willing to let me go, I am willing to pay any price, even if it means being treated like a slave, I will never refuse a word!"

Another young man in black was trembling with cold sweat soaking the back of his collar.

The others were also trembling with fear, almost wetting their pants, and kept confessing and begging for mercy.

"When you followed others to kill me, you should have expected this outcome."

Chai Xin had an indifferent expression, and had no intention of showing any mercy at all. He swung the spear in his hand, which was boiling with blood, casually. Wherever it passed, the traces were like a tide, washing towards the people who were like lambs to be slaughtered.

"Bang bang bang..."

Within a few breaths, Chai Xin kept swinging the blood-red spear, and more than a dozen people exploded and were wiped out from the world.

Finally, he flipped his hand to suppress the blood-colored spear, put it into the Lihuo Divine Furnace, and forced it to be refined. Then his figure flashed, and he chose the first area and rushed into the Holy Island.

In the distant sky, the commander and the team of soldiers witnessed everything that had just happened.

“I thought that with so many people surrounding him, he would definitely die, but I didn’t expect him to be killed… Such a monster is rare even on the Ancient Trial Road!”

One soldier was so shocked that he exclaimed after a long time.

The commander didn't seem to care about this. He just smiled and said calmly, "Xu Tianming's background is not simple. In addition to the three heroes of Gou Chen being his senior brothers, his father is a person that even the city lord is afraid of."

The soldier was even more shocked and said in astonishment, "So, that evil genius just now will eventually die young, right?"

"Everyone has his own destiny, which has nothing to do with us."

After the commander finished saying this, he closed his eyes gently, as if he was immersed in cultivation.

At the same time, in the first city of the human race.

The three heroes of Gou Chen were practicing on their own. The eldest brother Li Qianling suddenly opened his eyes, and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

You cannot use your divine incarnation to help others in the trial field, otherwise it will be regarded as cheating, and you will be kicked out of the ancient trial road directly, and will be disqualified from participating in the trial forever.

Therefore, Li Qianling could not sense Xu Tianming's death.

But that blood-colored spear was a weapon he borrowed from his lord. There was a trace of blood power attached to it, and once it was refined, it would be immediately detected.

He knew very well Xu Tianming's strength. At most he could escape from the hands of an ordinary saint. It was impossible for him to refine the Holy King's weapon.

Besides, Xu Tianming also knew who the real owner of the blood-colored spear was. Even if he had the guts, he would never dare to refine it!
"Oh no, Junior Brother is in danger!"

Li Qianling immediately called his two junior brothers over and informed them of the situation.

"We have recruited more than ten powerful helpers for Junior Brother, some of whom are even at the semi-saint level. We also gave him the Heaven-Slaying Divine Spear. How could he be killed by that brat?"

Second senior brother Xiao Shen didn’t think Chai Xin had that kind of ability, and his first reaction was to question it.

The third brother, Gu Xianru, frowned and shook his head slowly, saying, "It may not be that person who killed him. There are many dangers in the trial field. Maybe an accident happened."

"No, if he died in an accident, how could the Heaven-Slaying Divine Spear be refined by someone? I can sense that the one who refined the Divine Spear is a human!"

Li Qianling flatly rejected it, his face full of worry.

"My junior brother is dead or alive, and the Heaven-Slaying Divine Spear is lost. Not only will Master be furious, I'm afraid even the Lord will..."

He only said half of his words, but the other two knew what he meant.

Gu Xianru said coldly: "At this point, there is no point in worrying. Once Junior Brother dies, Master will definitely notice it immediately; the Lord will also know that the Divine Spear has been refined... All we can do now is to find a scapegoat!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the other two narrowed their eyes slightly, and finally nodded in unison.

"That's right. Regardless of whether it's him or not, we must suppress him and give an explanation to Master and the Lord!"

Li Qianling's expression was gloomy, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

"However, if it is really that guy, we still need to be fully prepared. His strength may exceed our previous expectations. There is still some time before the end of the trial. Please ask the colleagues under the Lord to come to assist immediately!"

"Why do we need to mobilize so many troops to deal with a kid who has not yet entered the Saint Realm? If this gets out, wouldn't it be a disgrace to us, the Three Heroes of Gou Chen?"

Xiao Yun hesitated when he heard this.

"It's already this late, why would you still care about your face? No matter what, this operation must be foolproof! Don't forget, that guy is probably the one who refined the Heaven-Slaying Divine Spear!"

Li Qianling raised his eyebrows and scolded mercilessly.

"How powerful would it be to be able to forcibly refine the master's magic weapon? Not only do we need to ask for help, but we also need to invite many experts and report it to the master immediately!"

"I am right, senior brother." Xiao Shen admitted his mistake without hesitation.

Li Qianling's expression eased a little, and he nodded, "There's no time to lose, go make contact now!"

In the Holy Island of Death.

Chai Xin's strength seemed to not only scare the monks who entered with him, but also frightened the many ferocious beasts on the island. He moved forward quickly all the way without encountering any obstruction.

Even though there were some ferocious beasts that had entered the saint realm, after feeling the momentum that Chai Xin had burst out earlier, they did not dare to come and provoke him.

This island is not peaceful. Corpses of various shapes can be seen everywhere. It is obvious that what the commander said is true. This place was indeed an ancient battlefield a long time ago.

Soon Chai Xin passed the periphery and rushed directly into the central area that the commander had warned everyone not to enter.

Soon after entering, you will see a mountain in front of you. It is filled with an extremely tragic and bloody aura and has a large number of ancient yin trees growing on it.

Finally, Chai Xin realized with horror that this was not a mountain range at all, but a huge tooth!

A creature with such large teeth must be extremely powerful, but it still died here. This is enough to show how magnificent and tragic the war was back then.

Gradually, Chai Xin stepped into a swamp, where sword lights crisscrossed, containing the power of saints, and many bones were scattered nearby. This was not a dangerous place evolved from heaven and earth, but the laws left behind by the passing of the former strong men.

For the weak, this is a place of death; but for those with sufficient cultivation, this is a perfect place for enlightenment.

In fact, it is somewhat similar to the many marks of sages in the Qishi Mansion, but it is much more dangerous here.

However, for Chai Xin today, it is naturally not worth mentioning.

The central area is indeed worthy of being called a restricted area. There are countless dangerous places along the way. If a cultivator at the Zhan Dao realm comes in, he will definitely die.

Even a powerful saint must be careful here, otherwise he may die if he is not careful!

Walking all the way to the deepest part, Chai Xin saw a blood-red lake with a diameter of about ten miles. It was like a crimson gem, emitting a dazzling and strange light.

The surroundings were filled with blood and ancient murderous intent that had been preserved for who knows when was raging on the lake. Even if one was miles away, one could not help but feel a strong desire to kill.

"A pool of ten feet of blood, the burial ground of our ancestors and sects."

Chai Xin walked to the lakeside and saw a half-rotten stone tablet. He could vaguely recognize the ancient characters on it.

I don’t know how many years this blood lake has gone through, but it has evolved from the original ten feet to more than ten miles.

"This is it. To me, it is far more important than the avenue left here..."

Chai Xin felt a spiritual imprint left in the stone tablet, and a hint of joy finally flashed in his eyes.

In the original novel, there is a bloody battlefield inside the blood lake, which contains a heaven-defying method. No matter who steps into it, he can create an opponent exactly like himself!

“A person’s most powerful enemy is always himself.”

This should be the concept and spirit that the ancestors of the human race wanted to pass on to future generations.

This is indeed the case. No matter how powerful the enemy is, he may eventually surpass you. But in a sense, no one in the world can truly defeat himself.

Because as time goes by, a new self will be born every moment.

“Perhaps, this is the opportunity for me to take that step.”

Chai Xin did not hesitate. He flew over the blood lake and randomly chose a crack to escape into.

Then, the most difficult battle for him began.

The bloody battlefield really created him, and all his abilities and magical powers seemed to be copied and pasted.

A battle between two such beings would naturally be the most intense.

However, the greatest beauty of the bloody battlefield is that even if you are defeated, you can still be resurrected - this is the precious treasure left by the ancestors of the human race for future generations.

Of course, not everyone can come here and get the treasure.

The only regret is that you only have one chance to fight your own incarnation here, no matter what the final outcome is.

So, be sure to grasp it.

This battle was extremely difficult for Chai Xin, because his opponent possessed everything he mastered, including secret techniques, bloodline and physique.

In the end, even his powerful body of an emperor's son was almost turned into a pile of rotten flesh, with white bones everywhere on his body.

At that moment, he finally realized, like a bystander or an enemy, how perverted he really was.

If it weren't for the bloody battlefield that was unable to replicate the mysterious ancient jade, and if the ancient jade had not shed a ray of light at the last moment, keeping his mind clear, he would have perished together with his other self.

Although there would be no harm if both died together and they would be resurrected eventually, the benefits of this battle would be greatly lost.

In short, Chai Xin did defeat himself, and he also felt that some invisible barrier had been broken. The long-awaited realm of sainthood was finally within reach.

However, if one wants to enter the realm of a saint, one must successfully overcome the tribulation.

Chai Xin is invincible in combat, so the divine punishment he will face will naturally be extraordinary, but he is not afraid and feels that he can make further progress at any time.

However, it would be a pity if we don’t make full use of the heavenly tribulation.

With his current strength, if a heavenly calamity were to come, no one below the Great Sage would be able to defeat him, and all would be reduced to ashes.

Even if a strong man at the level of a Great Sage appeared, they would have no choice but to flee in panic and would never dare to fight him head-on.

Chai Xin felt that it would be a waste of resources if he just found a place to quietly survive the Saint Tribulation. It would be better to wait for the right opportunity to see if a powerful enemy would jump out from the road ahead and kill him with the Heavenly Tribulation.

He knew better than anyone that this ancient trial road for the human race was not peaceful at all.

Apart from those geniuses who compete on the ancient road, there are even some old guys who are protectors of the road and will trample on the rules for the sake of profit.

Especially the forces hidden behind those people, some of them are even at the level of Great Sages. Without sufficient trump cards, even Chai Xin cannot be completely at ease here.

The great way contained in the Holy Island of the Dead is the great way of nature.

This path is profound and mysterious, and it is also an unsurpassed path, but it is not the path that Chai Xin is looking for, so he only tries it briefly and does not delve into it deliberately.

The standard for passing the test is actually whether one can resonate with the way of nature, rather than requiring everyone to practice.

Otherwise, wouldn't this ancient trial road of the human race become the place where the human race destroys its own foundation?
After all, people have different natures and cannot be generalized. If you force them to practice the same path, even if you achieve something, it will be difficult to reach the pinnacle.

Finally, this trial ended. There were more than a hundred people when they came, but only about eighty people were left when they returned.

More than a dozen of them were killed by Chai Xin alone, and some died in various crises on the Holy Island.

When they returned, no one dared to stand near Chai Xin, and they even lacked the courage to look at him.

He took on the Holy King's weapon with his bare hands without any damage, and he was decisive in killing without caring about Xu Tianming's strong background. Who would dare to provoke such a person?

However, when everyone returned to the first city of the human race, they immediately sensed an unusual atmosphere.

The three heroes of Gou Chen were actually waiting in the city square early, staring at Chai Xin coldly with murderous intent in their expressions without any concealment.

Everyone witnessed what Chai Xin did in the trial field, and of course they understood why the three brothers came.

Having learned from their previous lessons, they no longer dared to stay and join in the fun and quickly dispersed.

After passing the first level of the trial, you still need to rest for a few days before the road to the second level will be opened. This is common knowledge on the ancient trial road, and many people with a little background know it.

"Don't be so anxious. Once the road to the second level is opened, I will send you brothers to reunite."

Knowing clearly what the other party was doing, Chai Xin certainly would not be polite. He said this with a sneer and walked past the Three Heroes of Gou Chen.
