The void roared loudly, and at some point, a spiderweb-like blood-red pattern appeared on the blue light screen.
A massive web covered the entire barrier, and the very center of the web was directly facing the center of the arena. Now the entire light screen trembled, and the arena itself was shaking.
The spider web was filled with the scent of blood. Besides the blood-red color, there were other patterns as well.
At this moment, it was trembling, all the energy converging toward the center at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the central area, a huge halo appeared, resembling the eyes of a demon.
That roaring sound was made by it. Now, that halo seemed to be gathering power, endless blood energy surging, and a terrifying pressure that moved the soul.
"I understand. The rules of the Saint King Arena must have changed. The weak simply don't deserve to live in this world.
The weak are always the stepping stones for the strong; their blood is the energy used to open the Saint King Arena. "Someone shouted.
Although this was just that person's speculation, no one could find any reason to refute it, because the blood energy inside the barrier was too obvious, with all kinds of colors. It was obvious that the essence blood of the deceased powerhouses had all been extracted by it.
The man shouted, and the cultivators who had followed Long Chen upstairs changed their expressions. If it weren't for Long Chen, they would have been dead long ago.
They came here purely to gain experience. There were many spoiled kids here who wanted to participate in the Saint King Conference, since they would have something impressive to brag about when they returned.
Such a grand event, which might not last millions of years, is something they will regret for the rest of their lives if they don't attend.
And everyone knows the rules of the Saint King Assembly: if you are eliminated, you will be teleported out of the arena and lose the qualification to compete for Saint King.
But who could have known that the rules of the Saint King Assembly would suddenly change? This was practically deadly—they almost died here in a confused state.
"Boom!"
At that moment, the blood-red halo in the void suddenly trembled, and a blood-red divine light shot out from within it, like a sharp blade slashing at the core of the arena.
With a loud crash, the entire arena trembled, and several light shields appeared in the space above the arena.
It turned out that each passage had a huge shield, but these shields were invisible. Now, because of this strike, cracks appeared on the shields, and only then did people notice them.
Previously, it was these barriers that blocked people from entering the core area of the arena. Similarly, Long Chen saw that the other entrances were the same, all trapped at the entrances.
The previous strike struck the core of the arena. In the center of the arena, a barrier appeared, and within that barrier, another arena appeared, identical in shape to the Saint King's arena.
It seemed like a small world, or perhaps a microcosm of the entire Holy King State, because the cities surrounding the arena were exactly the same as those in the Holy King State.
"Boom!"
Another loud explosion struck the barrier at the center of the arena, as if trying to open the arena.
After a short while, the barrier on the central arena remained unharmed, while the surrounding entrance barriers shattered with a roar.
The barrier shattered, all living beings broke free, and the powerful beings at each entrance surged toward the center of the arena like a tide.
"Charge! Don't let other races get to the arena first. We humans need to seize the initiative." Someone shouted.
Now that the rules of the Saint King Assembly have changed, no one knows what will happen, but seizing the initiative is always the right move.
Countless powerful figures shot toward the arena's core like arrows released from a bow, while other races shared the same thoughts. Suddenly, experts from all the major entrances swarmed forward.
However, in terms of speed, the beast clan clearly had the advantage. They moved even faster and immediately approached the central barrier.
"Boom boom boom...
As they approached the barrier, they immediately attacked it, trying to open a passage.
But their attacks couldn't shake the barrier at all; some people's weapons were even shattered.
"How could this be?"
The beast clan experts were stunned; the barrier couldn't be broken at all, and at this moment, other races also rushed backward.
Although it was the core area of the barrier, millions of miles away, powerful figures from various races arrived, launching a frenzied assault on the barrier.
"This should be a test—to see which race is stronger. Let's all take action together!" Someone shouted.
Other races launched frenzied attacks on the barrier, but only a small portion of the human side actually attacked it. Even when they did, it was only a probing assault, unlike the desperate assaults of other races.
But under these attacks, the barrier didn't budge at all, like being scratched, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"Brother Long Chen, do you want me to give it a try?"
Long Chen and the others also arrived at the barrier interface, but Long Chen stared at the barrier and fell into deep thought. Dongming Yu spoke.
As Dongming Yu spoke, a black dagger appeared in her hand—the very dagger Long Chen had given her. This dagger was unstoppable, unstoppable, and so far, Dongming Yu had not encountered anything capable of stopping it.
However, Dongming Yu had always kept this dagger and never used it in battle, because her master had instructed her not to use it unless absolutely necessary.
Now, everyone was powerless against the barrier. Dongming Yu wanted to use her dagger to see if she could break through it, so everyone could immediately enter the arena within this arena.
"No,"
Long Chen shook his head, stopping Dongming Yu. "This matter isn't that simple. I feel something is off about this Saint King Conference. Everyone, hold back your strength and wait and see." Long
Chen had checked the barrier. Even if Xia Chen hadn't sent him a message, Long Chen knew that this great array had penetrated deep into the earth, connecting to the laws of heaven and earth, and could never be opened.
Unless Dongming Yu wielded a mysterious dagger or Long Chen wielded the Qiankun Cauldron, no one could harm this grand formation at all.
With the situation uncertain now, Long Chen didn't want to reveal his trump cards. He decided to wait and see. After all, they weren't the only ones attending the Saint King Conference, so it was better to leave it to others to figure out a solution.
People desperately attacked the barrier. Some even suggested that all living beings follow a set rhythm and unite to attack the barrier from different directions, but it was completely useless. For a moment, everyone grew restless.
"Wait, the essence blood of the weak is the key to activating the grand formation. Could it be ...?" Someone looked up at the blood-red spider web in the sky, still trembling continuously.
The blood-red spider web was still trembling, but it no longer had the ability to attack, looking utterly weak.
Following that person's reminder, countless people looked toward Long Chen. Specifically, they were looking at the weak ones following behind him.
"Long Chen, you broke the rules and caused the arena to fail to open."
At that moment, from the ranks of the powerful figures of the Purple Blood Xu family, Xu Yifeng stepped forward, pointed at Long Chen, and shouted sternly.
As soon as Xu Yifeng said this,The powerful figures rescued by Long Chen were both shocked and furious.
With Xu Yifeng's cold shout, countless human warriors turned to look at Long Chen and the others. Xu Yifeng's voice was loud, echoing throughout the arena, and other clan experts also turned to look toward the human side.
At that moment, Long Chen's fists clenched tightly, murderous intent surging in his eyes. This Xu Yifeng was far too vicious—he was trying to use a borrowed blade to kill someone, pushing them toward the opposition of all living beings.
