"Huff huff huff...
When the first teleportation succeeded, the three of them continued to transmit their minds. The formation disk Xia Chen had set up earlier now came in handy.
No matter how fast Long Chen was, he couldn't match the teleportation array, because with only three people, the cost was low and he could teleport farther.
After seven teleportations, they got closer and closer to the exit, but the three of them actually grew more and more nervous.
"Boss, are we really going to force our way in?" Xia Chen said.
You have to understand, the powerful beings in the Unmanned Realm aren't fools—they always seal the exit before launching the hunt.
Even if you think about it with your toes, the exit must be guarded by countless powerful figures, all of whom are the older generation, because the new generation of experts is all participating in the hunt.
Among the older generation of strong warriors, there must be immortal-level beings, and probably more than one or two. Charging in like this is simply too dangerous.
"There's no other way, we have to charge. If we stay here, we won't dare to undergo the tribulation and will waste precious time.
And even if the gate opens and the Unmanned Realm and Nie Ying Tian interact, they might not be able to come in to support us, since there are too many powerful beings in the Unmanned Realm. Long Chen said.
Long Chen understood Guo Ran's intentions. He wanted to hide here. After all, with Xia Chen's formation, as long as they were willing to hide, the people here simply couldn't find them.
But if that's the case, what will happen to the tribulation? Could it be that he has been suppressing his cultivation and refusing to undergo the tribulation?
If he undergoes the tribulation, after it, Long Chen will surely be exhausted, possibly even severely injured and near death, and at the mercy of the slaughter.
Now, with the cultivation world undergoing upheaval, everyone is desperately trying to improve themselves, not daring to fall behind for even a day.
If Long Chen and the other two hide here, and everyone else undergoes tribulation and advances to Realm King, then they will truly be finished.
Not to mention, even the top beings in the Unmanned Realm could still compete with Long Chen now. But if they advanced to Realm King while Long Chen was still at the Immortal King realm, then once they encountered him, he would surely die.
The Dragon Clan expert once said that Long Chen was no match for the top experts here. At first, Long Chen was unconvinced, but now he knew the Dragon Clan expert was telling the truth.
The reason Long Chen now had the right to challenge them was because he had been cleansed by the spiritual spring, which had undergone earth-shaking changes in his body.
Beneath the Spirit Spring, Long Chen's strike with the Divine Dragon Tail Swing showed no reservation, as if that strike could at least severely injure the opponent, even if it didn't kill him.
But his strike barely shattered the blood shield protecting the blood clan expert. The vampire was struck by the immortal expert's barrier and only spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. Although injured, it wasn't fatal, showing just how terrifying he was.
If Long Chen had come in and encountered such a powerful opponent, his chances of victory would be extremely slim. This was the gap—the different environment in which he grew up created a chasm like a chasm.
Such terrifying powerhouses grow rapidly every day. If Long Chen loses the chance to cross the tribulation by dodging, once the distance is left behind, it will be even harder to catch up later.
And the other side wouldn't give him a chance to chase after him, killing him in the bud. Therefore, Long Chen must return to Nieying Heaven now; only in Nieying Heaven can his cultivation not be delayed.
"When we reach the exit soon, I'll pour all my power into the Qiankun Cauldron and fight them to the death.
But whether we can compete, I have no confidence, but we still have a slim chance.
When the time comes, if we can go together, we will go; if not, whoever gets the chance will go first. Long Chen said.
"Boss... Xia
Chen and Guo Ran were both surprised. If that's the case, Long Chen's chances of leaving are minimal.
Moreover, at that time, Long Chen had exhausted all his strength. Facing so many terrifying experts, was there still a chance to survive?
"It's settled. If I can't leave, you all go first. After returning to Nieying Heaven, hurry up to cross the tribulation and strengthen yourself, then come back to save me.
You don't need to worry about me. I'll be even faster on my own, and they won't be able to catch me. Long Chen said.
"But ..."
"No buts. Sometimes, there simply aren't that many options." Long Chen said seriously.
Long Chen had been holding onto the two men, but suddenly let go, leaving them behind in an instant. At that moment, the massive portal ahead was already right in front of them.
Long Chen held the Qiankun Cauldron, unleashing his soul power and surging madly into it. Nourished by Long Chen's soul power, the cauldron instantly radiated a divine brilliance like the sun.
The Qiankun Cauldron illuminated the entire world and the great door, reflecting the dense crowds of figures before it.
When he saw those figures, Long Chen's heart skipped a beat. From them, he saw eight terrifying beings.
There were eight immortal powerhouses. Clearly, Long Chen's luck wasn't so good this time. He originally thought that having two or three immortal experts was enough to respect them.
Unexpectedly, eight immortal experts were stationed here. The experts had no teleportation array or means of communication, meaning they were unaware of the Eye of Chaos, yet eight immortal experts sealed this place. Clearly, from the start, they would never allow Long Chen and the other two to leave the No-Man's Realm alive.
"Damn humans, still trying to escape? Dream on! When
Long Chen appeared, the beings were greatly invigorated. An immortal powerhouse roared angrily and flew straight at Long Chen, smashing a massive tiger claw into the shattered void.
"Oh no, I've run into an idiot."
Long Chen was both shocked and furious, his heart sinking deeper. This immortal powerhouse was so foolish that he couldn't sense the pressure of the Qiankun Cauldron, charging forward alone.
This was completely different from Long Chen's expectations. He thought that immortal experts must all recognize value. Even if they don't, they have keen senses. When they sense the terror of the Qiankun Cauldron, they should join forces to seal the gate.
But Long Chen miscalculated. Although the immortal powerhouses here were powerful, they had lived too many peaceful days and lacked a keen sense of crisis.
Even if his sense of crisis wasn't sharp enough, he could still sense the terrifying primordial aura of the Qiankun Cauldron. Still, Long Chen's luck was very poor.
The other seven immortal experts all felt a great sense of crisis and did not act rashly, choosing instead to defend.
Yet, a reckless youth, seeing Long Chen charging at him, charged straight at him with his strongest strike, trying to kill Long Chen on the spot.
Long Chen was both shocked and furious, but now the arrow was on the string and had no choice but to release—there was no room to retreat or change tactics.
"Idiot, go to hell!"
Long Chen gritted his teeth. The trend of the Qiankun Cauldron remained unchanged. Empowered by his soul power, countless runes lit up on the Qiankun Cauldron, and the sacred and majestic aura made heaven and earth tremble.
Long Chen couldn't control the Qiankun Cauldron for battle, but he could only use alchemy to activate as many runes as possible.
"Boom!"
A startled soundA heavenly explosion rang out as the Qiankun Cauldron slammed hard into the massive tiger claw. The moment the claw touched the cauldron, it shattered with a thunderous crash.
The immortal warrior's whole body trembled violently, and Long Chen pushed the Qiankun Cauldron, slamming it hard into his head. The immortal's head exploded instantly, blood splattering and staining the void red.
"Die!"
Long Chen roared, shattering the immortal warrior of the demon beast clan. Long Chen pushed the Qiankun Cauldron forward, charging forward fearlessly toward the other immortal experts.
The seven immortal experts, both shocked and furious, struck simultaneously, joining forces to resist Long Chen's Qiankun Cauldron.
With a thunderous boom, myriad paths shattered. Long Chen groaned and spat out a mouthful of blood. Because of the previous immortal powerhouse's blockade, he ultimately failed to break through the blockade and was blocked.
"It's over,"
Long Chen's heart sank—the plan had failed.
