Although the gap between the Late Condensing Reality Realm and the peak of the Late Condensing Reality Realm was not that big, but for Ye Chen, it was extremely valuable. Before, he was thirty percent sure that he could kill Yuanheng Ying, but now, he was forty percent sure. If he could step into the Clasping Yuan Realm, killing Yuanheng Ying would be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables.
The other disciples all felt that their cultivation had improved, but none of them managed to make a breakthrough like Ye Chen.
"The gate of the Heavenly Dream Battle Palace is open, let's go!"
"Let's go!"
"As soon as this white light shone on me, I felt so much better. I can definitely break into the Clasping Yuan Realm if I get in there."
Except for the Hidden Dragon Ranked martial artists, most of the other disciples had gone crazy. Why did they risk their lives to enter the Heavenly Dream Ancient Region? Of course, it was to break into the Clasping Yuan Realm. As long as they could become Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists, they would be as powerful as those Hidden Dragon Ranked martial artists. They wouldn't need to be scared anymore, and they wouldn't need to lower their heads.
"Piss off!"
The Hidden Dragon Ranked martial artists were the fastest, their bodies flashed across the air and darted into the palace gate. Among them, Yuanheng Ying had killed a disciple who had been blocking his way in a cruel and brutal way.
Looking at those crazy disciples, Luo Hanshan said, "Let's go in as well!"
Ye Chen activated his Zhen Qi for a few times, found nothing wrong, he nodded and said, "This Heavenly Dream Battle Palace is indeed very helpful for breaking into the Clasping Yuan Realm."
"Hm, I think so too."
The four of them followed closely behind the others and entered the palace, which was filled with a dense white light.
Whooo!
Taking a deep breath, Zhu Mei said in surprise, "What a dense and pure Yuan Qi! It's so much better than the Yuan Qi from spirit stones, I can absorb it with almost no effort."
In fact, even without Zhu Mei's reminder, the three of them had already sensed the change of the Yuan Qi once they entered the palace.
However, the white light in the palace seemed to be way too strong, once they entered, they were completely blinded. They couldn't see or sense anything, even Ye Chen's soul power had lost its effect. It seemed that only the most basic sense of touch and hearing still existed.
After about a quarter of an hour, the palace door behind him suddenly closed with a heavy sound. Then, as if there was a small earthquake in the palace, the rumbling sound was continuous, rising and falling. Suddenly, the floor under Ye Chen's feet sank, and there seemed to be something above sealing this space.
"Be careful, the internal structure of the palace has changed," Ye Chen quickly warned.
But no one answered.
Letting out a bitter smile, Ye Chen realized that they had been separated from each other. Well, the Heavenly Dream Battle Palace wouldn't kill people on their own, so there shouldn't be any danger.
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Ye Chen was about to meditate and cultivate.
Eh!
Visible to the naked eye, the incomparably dense white light shrank into a ball and entered a huge crystal ball. The crystal ball was colorful and suspended in the air.
Ye Chen quietly observed the situation.
Buzz!
The air slightly vibrated, and gradually, a human-shaped white silhouette appeared under the crystal ball. The silhouette was holding a great sword, with a straight back. If one looked closely, one would find that this silhouette was exactly the same as Ye Chen's, even the great sword was exactly the same. It was like a clone of Ye Chen.
Of course, a silhouette was only a silhouette after all, it was pure white, without any facial features. At first glance, one could easily tell that it was created by some kind of energy, and not a real person.
Swoosh!
Once the white silhouette was formed, it took a step forward and launched a sword attack towards Ye Chen.
"Peak of the Late Condensing Reality Realm!"
Ye Chen sensed that the Zhen Qi vibration of the silhouette was exactly the same as his own. The speed and power of the silhouette's attack were both amazing, almost as powerful as Luo Hanshan's. In other words, the silhouette was at the level of the Windy Nation's child-to-be.
Ye Chen wasn't a passive person, and if he guessed it right, this was the Heavenly Dream Battle Palace's test, only by defeating the silhouette could one be qualified to stay.
Clang!
The Hidden Cloud sword was pulled out of the scabbard, Ye Chen brushed past the silhouette.
In the next moment!
The silhouette's right arm, which was holding the sword, was sent flying into the air. Wisps of white light emerged from the wound.
The silhouette, which had lost an arm, still tried to attack Ye Chen, but its head was chopped off by Ye Chen. The silhouette then transformed back into a stream of white light and flew back into the crystal ball.
At the same time.
In the enclosed space, which was less than three hundred meters away, the same thing was happening.
"What the hell, it's as powerful as me, and it even has martial skills."
"It's only slightly weaker than me, but it seems to be quite hard to defeat it!"
"Why is it different from the Heavenly Dream Battle Palace's test ten years ago? It's always the same!"
Some people were fighting intensely against the silhouette, and it was hard to tell who would win. Although some of them could suppress the silhouette, they couldn't defeat it within a short period of time, and some of them were surprised and didn't know how to react. All in all, everyone was taking the test, and the difficulty of the test depended on each individual's strength.
The first round of the test had ended. Five of their disciples were hit by the silhouette, and were sent out of the Heavenly Dream Battle Palace.
In the Scorching Ancient Desert.
Beside the gigantic door of light.
Five silhouettes darted out of the door and landed on the thick sand.
"Yao Kai."
"Li Jing."
"… …"
These five people just happened to be the disciples of the sects that had failed the test. They crawled up from the sand with stunned expressions, and then they seemed to have thought of something. They had a dejected look on their faces, and they didn't even hear the shouts of their respective sects' elders.
"You've failed, no one will blame you. Go back and work hard, don't ever give up, otherwise, you won't be able to make any progress in the future."
"How many of our disciples are left?"
"What? You're the only one left?"
Some of the elders encouraged them, some asked about the situation inside, and some of them heard the bad news. They beat their chests and stamped their feet, crying.
The people inside the palace didn't know what was happening outside, and even if they knew, they wouldn't be able to be distracted. As the first round of the test ended, the second round began.
"Child-level power from the Windy Nation!"
Ye Chen's face turned serious. The silhouette in front of him wasn't that powerful, but it was already so powerful in the second round. The third and fourth rounds, and the later rounds, would undoubtedly be even more difficult. If one wanted to pass the second round, he would not only have to rely on his own power, but also his fighting skills.
The silhouette dashed over, and Ye Chen swung his sword.
Puff!
The silhouette's head flew out, transformed into a beam of white light, and merged into the crystal ball.
The second round of the test ended, and the number of disciples who had failed doubled. In the first round, there were only five, and in this round, there were thirty-five.
As the number of people who had failed increased, outside the Heavenly Dream Ancient Region, all the institutions in the Scorching Ancient Desert had learned about the situation inside the palace, and were all stunned.
It wasn't that they didn't know that the Heavenly Dream Ancient Region was a place that would devour people, but out of the six hundred and sixty people who had entered the palace, only less than three hundred managed to make it out alive. The others were either killed by the ancient demonic beasts inside, or killed by the disciples of other institutions, or killed by the Ancient Black Gold Boa. The death rate had reached a record high, over fifty-five percent.
"Fortunately, one out of ten of the people who survived had a chance to step into the Clasping Yuan Realm. Otherwise, we wouldn't even be able to enter the Heavenly Dream Ancient Region."
"Too many people died, fortunately, not all of our disciples died."
The third round of the test began.
This time, the silhouette was as powerful as the top one hundred of the last Hidden Dragon Ranking, which was almost the same as Qiu Heng, who was in the swamp, and had the power to kill warriors at the same level as him within seconds.
After easily killing this silhouette, Ye Chen sensed something different.
Every time his attack landed on the silhouette's body, a magical vibration would be transmitted to his own body, and as the vibration became more and more obvious, Ye Chen realized that there was a stream of extremely pure Yuan Qi contained within the vibration, which would help him improve his cultivation. In other words, every time he fought, he was actually making progress. The longer he could last, the more progress he would make, and in the end, he might even be able to step into the Clasping Yuan Realm.
After figuring this out, Ye Chen let out a long breath and thought, 'I finally understand, the Heavenly Dream Battle Palace is not only a test, but also an opportunity, it depends on whether I can grasp it or not.'
The third round of the test was not difficult for Ye Chen, but it was extremely difficult for the others.
In the seventh sealed space on the east side.
Lou Hanshan was gasping heavily. The silhouette in front of him was slightly more powerful than him, it was almost impossible for him to defeat it with his own power. 'What should I do? Am I going to be eliminated like this?'
"No, since it's a test, there must be a way to pass."
Boom!
Without giving Lou Hanshan too much time to think, the silhouette launched a heavy punch. The tremendous power contained in that punch was as great as a mountain, as great as a river, surging violently.
"East-rising Purple Qi, Great Monument Suppression!"
Lou Hanshan tried his best to push the Extreme Purple Art and the Great Monument Heavenly King Fist to their limits, combining them into a special defensive skill to protect himself.
Crack!
The purple monument couldn't even hold for three blinks of an eye, and suddenly shattered.
Lou Hanshan rolled away in embarrassment, dodging the terrifying punch launched by the silhouette. At the same time, his Qi and blood were boiling inside his body, and his eyes were seeing stars.
"Oh right, if I can reach the peak of the ninth level of the Extreme Purple Art, I might be able to defeat him." Lou Hanshan's eyes shone. The ninth level of the Extreme Purple Art was called East-rising Purple Qi. The peak of the ninth level of the Extreme Purple Art could draw a purple lotus out of the air, and with the protection of the lotus, the defensive power of the cultivator would be raised by many times.
The silhouette launched another attack, but Lou Hanshan didn't back off, instead, he pushed the Extreme Purple Art to its limit and launched two punches in a row.
In the other sealed space.
Xu Jing had released her unprecedented power, and was fighting against the silhouette. Every single punch landed on the silhouette's body, and the fierce gale generated by the punches shook the air like water. The golden light emitted by the two silhouettes was sometimes dim, sometimes brighter, and sometimes dimmer.
If Lou Hanshan and Zhu Mei were here, they would definitely be shocked, because Xu Jing's opponent was even more powerful than Young Master North Snow and Young Master Duanmu. According to their previous understanding of Xu Jing, she had never reached this level, which meant that Xu Jing had been hiding her real power all this time.
Clang!
The silhouette and Xu Jing's fists clashed against each other, and let out a terrifying metal-clanging noise. Dazzling fire sparks splashed everywhere, and the air was extremely hot.
"Break!"
While locking the silhouette's right arm with her left hand, Xu Jing's body suddenly shook, and a solid golden light burst out from her body, striking on the silhouette's body and disabling it from moving. After that, Xu Jing took the opportunity and threw out a punch, hitting the silhouette's head.
With a popping sound, the silhouette transformed into a beam of white light and merged into the crystal ball.
