Duan Lingtian only regained his senses when Wang Yiyuan breathed his last and fell to the ground with a thud.
At the same time, a complicated expression appeared on his face.
Although he had lived for a thousand years and was used to seeing life and death, he still felt a sense of helplessness in his heart at this moment.
Would he really be able to escape and regain his freedom without being controlled by the Crimson Devil?
Even he did not have absolute confidence that he would be able to do so.
As for Wang Yiyuan, he did not know if he was trying to comfort himself before his death or if he really thought there was hope for him to escape, but he actually asked for a favor from him.
It was something related to the clan behind him and the family behind him.
"If I die here or if I'm possessed by the Crimson Devil … I won't be able to help him even if I want to."
At this moment, even Duan Lingtian felt that Wang Yiyuan seemed to have overestimated him.
Why was he so confident in him?
"Perhaps it's not that he has confidence in me … He just wants to comfort himself before his death."
Duan Lingtian sighed in his heart. Then, he raised his hand and the energy from the law of life swept out. Together with the energy from the Divine Tree of Life, he repaired the hole in Wang Yiyuan's body before he put it away in Wang Yiyuan's Spatial Ring.
"If I can't leave, you can stay here forever … If I can, I'll bring you back to your clan and hand you over to the family you're worried about before your death."
After putting Wang Yiyuan's body into the Spatial Ring left behind by Wang Yiyuan, Duan Lingtian continued to move forward.
Of course, the Spatial Ring had already been claimed by him and belonged to him now.
As for the thing Wang Yiyuan said he would be interested in, he could not tell what it was in such a short time. At the same time, he did not have time to study it so he put it aside for the time being.
He would study it after he left the Secret Land.
When a man was about to die, his words were kind. Although he couldn't tell what it was for the time being, since Wang Yiyuan said so, it was enough to prove that it was mysterious.
At the very least, Wang Yiyuan had not been able to figure it out after so many years.
He did not think Wang Yiyuan had obtained it in the Little World in the Crimson Devil's body. He must have obtained it outside.
If he had obtained it in the Little World in the Little World, the Crimson Devil must have thought it was worthless. In that case, Wang Yiyuan would not treat it as a treasure.
…
Duan Lingtian continued forward, heading towards the center of the circle.
Although the difficulty of the trials was constantly increasing along the way, it was still not difficult for Duan Lingtian.
If it was difficult for even him, he felt that the number of people who survived this trip to the secret realm opened by Crimson Demon would not exceed five.
Of course, the later stages were not all about brute force.
Duan Lingtian also noticed this in the later stages.
In the later stages, a lot of people had to rely on their ability to react on the spot and their intelligence. If a person wasn't smart enough or was a little slow, even if they didn't die in the later stages, they would at least be injured.
What Duan Lingtian didn't know was that Crimson Demon had seen everything that happened after that.
"This Duan Lingtian is worthy of being called the most monstrous existence among all the young geniuses in my small world … His performance is flawless!"
"Of course, I can't come to a final conclusion about the trial set by the secret realm this time …"
"After all, there are a few other people in the trial this time, so there won't be too much pressure."
"I'll raise the difficulty of the next secret realm to the highest level … I'd like to see how many people can survive. If there's only one person, it'll be him. If there are a few people, I'll set another trial and choose the last person. "
"If there are two or three people in the end with the same performance and no pressure and no choice … I'll choose this Duan Lingtian!"
Crimson Demon watched the group of young geniuses in the secret realm of his small world from a place where Duan Lingtian couldn't see. His eyes were focused on Duan Lingtian.
The reason why he was more optimistic about Duan Lingtian was because Duan Lingtian had many God's Accumulating Springs. Secondly, Duan Lingtian was the youngest among the group of young geniuses.
He was at most a Medium Ultimate God who was a little over a thousand years old …
Moreover, he also noticed that Duan Lingtian was not far from becoming a Higher Ultimate God based on his current cultivation level.
If there were no accidents and he continued to grow smoothly, he would become a Higher Ultimate God before he was two thousand years old!
"There's nothing else to see after this … I originally wanted to 'get' some God's Accumulating Springs from Duan Lingtian in this secret realm, but it seems like I can't directly increase the difficulty of the trial. That would undoubtedly make him more vigilant."
"Forget it … I'll just let go of this small profit. I don't want him to go to the extreme and destroy his Spatial Ring before I possess him. If that happens, I won't be able to get a single drop of God's Accumulating Springs. "
Crimson Demon previously had the idea of taking the God's Accumulating Springs from Duan Lingtian because he wasn't sure if Duan Lingtian would be the most suitable person for him to possess.
After all, he had only seen Duan Lingtian's strength and talent and knew nothing about Duan Lingtian.
However, while he was satisfied with Duan Lingtian's performance as he continued to observe in the secret realm, he also realized that even if there were only two or three people who survived in the end, Duan Lingtian would most likely be one of them.
In fact, he had already decided that Duan Lingtian would be the best person for him to possess. He just needed to go through the final process.
After all, it would determine whether his possession would succeed.
Their clan's possession technique was too heaven-defying. It could only be used once in a person's lifetime and the success rate was not 100%. Only by finding the most suitable body for possession would the success rate be higher.
…
Duan Lingtian did not know that he had escaped a calamity from Crimson Demon who wanted to steal the God's Accumulating Springs.
He was now continuing to advance toward the center of the circle.
Along the way, he met two other people, but he did not know them and ignored them.
Those two people had seen Duan Lingtian kill Peng Pusha with their own eyes and knew how powerful Duan Lingtian was. Seeing that Duan Lingtian did not intend to pay attention to them, they consciously did not disturb Duan Lingtian.
"Duan Ling Tian is too strong. He's only a Medium Ultimate God, but he has the combat strength of a top-tier Superior Ultimate God. If he steps into the Upper Ultimate God realm, I'm afraid only those two people among us can compare to him, right? "
The two people Duan Lingtian saw were now walking together and breaking through the layers of checkpoints that appeared later.
It was possible to work together in the secret realm.
However, when two people worked together, the checkpoints they had to break through would overlap and be more difficult …
When two people worked together, their combined strength would be stronger. When faced with overlapping checkpoints, the difficulty of breaking through them was not much different from breaking through them alone.
The reason these two people worked together was because they had been on good terms and trusted each other all these years.
If Duan Lingtian went to find someone to work with now, the other party might not be willing because they were worried that Duan Lingtian would play dirty tricks behind their backs. Even if Duan Lingtian did not directly attack them, as long as he held back, he could easily trick them.
Because of that, in the secret realm of Crimson Demon's small world, it was impossible to work together if they did not trust each other enough.
"Do you think … if the two of us work together, we can beat him?"
One of them asked the other.
"You're too arrogant … If the two of us work together, even if we go against Ao Longyu and Tianhu, we're not 100% sure that we can beat them. At most, we can guarantee that we won't be at a disadvantage. Didn't you see that before he entered the secret realm, Ao Longyu and Tianhu were so scared that they went in next? "
The other person shook his head.
When the first person heard that, he fell silent.
"I never thought that there would be a day when a Medium Ultimate God could make me so afraid."
The young man who shook his head spoke again with a sigh. "He's really a monster!"
…
Duan Lingtian passed through all the levels and finally arrived at the center of the circle.
The center of the circle was a large teleportation formation. When he arrived, he happened to see a person enter the teleportation formation before him. Then, the person disappeared in the teleportation formation's light. When the light dissipated, the person disappeared without a trace.
Before the person disappeared, Duan Lingtian saw his face clearly. It was a young man with a cold face wearing a long black robe. When he looked at the other person, the other person was also looking at him.
"He came earlier than me, and doesn't seem to have any traces of injury … This person should be the one that Wang Yiyuan mentioned earlier, one of the strongest few among the many young geniuses that were imprisoned by the Crimson Demon."
In Crimson Demon's Little World, there were a few young geniuses who had the combat strength of a Peak High-Level Ultimate God. He had heard about this from Wang Yiyuan a few years ago.
Of course, he did not think that he was weaker than the genius who had left the secret realm before him.
After all, he had not borrowed the power of the Five Divine Elements and the Divine Tree of Life. Otherwise, he would have been faster.
In addition, he had been delayed for some time in the process of meeting Wang Yiyuan.
"Let's go out first.
"The Secret Realm this time posed no difficulty to me at all …"
However, it might not be the same for the next secret realm.
I wonder if Sister Shui and the Divine Tree of Life have gained something this time. "
In fact, the last two levels were still a little difficult for Duan Lingtian.
However, due to some plans, he did not borrow the power of the Divine Tree of Life and the Five Divine Elements because they had their own things to do.
Whether he could successfully escape from Crimson Demon's control was also an important factor.
"I hope they've gained something … That way, I'll have a better chance of escaping from Crimson Demon!
Sister Shui also said that if I can enter the Higher Ultimate God Stage here, I'll have a better chance of escaping from Crimson Demon's control!
Originally, I only had a 50% chance of escaping. However, if I enter the Higher Ultimate God Stage, I'll have a 70% chance of escaping! "
