"Haha, the Life and Death Gate is open!"
"This is my first time entering the Life and Death Secret Realm!"
There were nearly fifty young half-step Kings gathered outside the gate. Seeing the gate open, they all flew into the gate like swallows returning to their nest, disappearing without a trace.
The Young Undying Demon Lord glanced at Ye Chen and said to Lan Sanmei, "Sister Lan, I'll go first. Remember to look for me once you're inside."
The Life and Death Gate was only a transportation gate. Entering at the same time would result in a different destination. Therefore, there was no need for the Young Undying Demon Lord to enter with Lan Sanmei, so he flew in first.
"Ye Chen, I'll go first."
Lan Sanmei was a few years older than Ye Chen, and her cultivation base had reached the peak of the first layer. However, just like Ye Chen, it was her first time seeing the Life and Death Secret Realm open. Lan Sanmei's body flickered as she shot into the gate.
Ye Chen faintly nodded as he watched everyone enter the gate, including Shi Shaobao of the Golden Lion Race.
"The Life and Death Secret Realm opens once every ten years for three months. I wonder if the Demonic Human Emperor will let Murong come."
After waiting for a while, the sun gradually set, and the gate also showed signs of closing.
Smiling bitterly, Ye Chen didn't want to wait any longer. His body flickered as he flew into the gate. Right at this moment, the gate closed with a loud bang, disappearing into the void.
…
This was an extremely strange plain. It wasn't unreasonable to say that it was strange. On the ground, there were places that were lush with green grass and full of life. There were also places that were barren and desolate. There wasn't a clear dividing line between the two. Because at this moment, this place might still be green, but in the next moment, the green grass might instantly wither and dissipate, while in the desolate place, tender shoots would instantly grow. The tender shoots would grow at an astonishing speed, and in a short while, the green grass would cover the ground.
Life and Death!
Flourishing and withering!
It was happening all the time.
"What a great secret realm!"
Ye Chen, who had just arrived, was shocked by this scene. Growing a plant and making it flourish was something that he, who had comprehended the wood profound, could do as well. However, it would be impossible for him to do as he did in the Life and Death Secret Realm, allowing nature to take its course.
Life and Death Secret Realm seemed to contain the cycle of life and death. Life was not the beginning, and death was not the end. Life and death were merely a cycle.
Screech!
Suddenly, a soul-piercing eagle cry came from above his head. Ye Chen looked up and saw an eagle form in the sky, where clear and turbid air currents intertwined. The eagle's body was blurry and didn't seem to be alive, but its speed was incomparably fast. A moment ago, it was ten thousand zhang high in the sky, and in the next moment, its claws were less than three feet away from Ye Chen's head.
Ye Chen did not dare to be careless. He instantly unsheathed his evil-vanquishing sword and stabbed the eagle's chest.
Puchi!
Without spilling any blood, the goshawk's body turned blurry and eventually turned into a two-colored airflow, which dispersed into the universe.
This was the Qi of life and death.
The goshawk was formed by the Qi of life and death.
"Seems like I can't be careless. This is only the outer area of the Life and Death Secret Realm, and the evil spirit here has the strength of a mid level half step king. Normal half step king warriors would be clawed to death without any powerful tricks."
Life and death evil spirits were formed by the Qi of life and death. They were non-living creatures that could only survive in the Life and Death Secret Realm.
"Unfortunately, it has just been formed. Although it is powerful, there is no life and death stone in its body."
Ye Chen shook his head. The Life and Death Secret Realm contained life and death stones, which were usually born in the bodies of evil spirits. Normally, evil spirits with life and death stones would be extremely hard to destroy. For example, if that goshawk evil spirit had a life and death stone in its body, Ye Chen wouldn't have been able to destroy it with one sword attack.
After flying for a while, a shocking energy vibration exploded in the distant sky. Someone was fighting.
"Fighting as soon as I entered? Could it be that they found the life and death stone?"
His eyebrows twitching, Ye Chen increased his speed instead of slowing down, turning into a beam of sword light.
On a boundless plain, two figures continuously clashed with each other. Violent shockwaves spread out everywhere, creating huge craters on the plain.
"This life and death stone was obtained by me after killing so many evil spirits. If you know what's good for you, leave now. Otherwise, there will only be one of us."
The yellow-robed youngster scolded the brown-robed youngster while exchanging blows.
The brown-robed youngster sneered, "Winner takes all. Life and death stone is not something you can have. Let me take care of it for you."
"B * stard! You are going too far!"
The yellow-robed youngster was furious. The Life and Death Secret Realm was divided into three areas: the core area, the inner area, and the outer area. If the whole secret realm was a circle, then the core area would naturally be in the middle, while the inner area would be between the core area and the outer area.
The outer area was the safest, but correspondingly, it also had the least amount of life and death stones. Those who did not have enough power and could only stay in the outer area would not be able to get a life and death stone. If they could get a life and death stone, then it would be a sign of extreme luck.
The yellow-robed youngster found an evil spirit as soon as he entered. Thinking that he might be lucky, he fought with this evil spirit for three hundred rounds before finally killing it. What made him ecstatic was that there was indeed a life and death stone inside this evil spirit's body, one that could possibly allow him to reach the Life and Death Challenge Realm.
Unfortunately, the life and death stone was discovered before it could even warm up.
Peng Peng Peng Peng Peng …
The two exchanged blows crazily, the shockwaves of their battle shaking the plain within hundreds of miles. It was as if there were countless elephants running through it.
"Die!"
The yellow-robed youngster had fought with the evil spirit before, so he was slightly wounded. After a long battle, the brown-robed youngster found a gap and punched him in the chest.
Pooh!
Puking out a mouthful of blood, the yellow-robed youngster was blown backward.
Following closely behind, the brown-robed youngster threw another punch at the head of the yellow-robed youngster. All of a sudden, the aggressive fist power shattered the head of the yellow-robed youngster.
Then, a strange scene happened. After the yellow-robed youngster's head exploded, his whole body started to fade, and so did the blood mist.
A life and death stone surrounded by two colored qi flows floated in the air.
Holding the life and death stone in his hand, the brown-robed youngster laughed out loud. With this life and death stone, as long as his luck was not bad, he would be able to reach the Life and Death Challenge Realm. After all, those who came to the Life and Death Secret Realm all had extremely high potential. Even without the life and death stone, they would still have a great chance of reaching the Life and Death Challenge Realm.
The life and death stone could only save them a lot of time.
Of course, what the martial geniuses lacked was time.
"Eh, someone is coming!"
The brown-robed youngster's expression changed. The life and death stone merged with his body, and his speed increased drastically. Within a blink of an eye, he had disappeared into the horizon.
"He sure runs fast."
From afar, Ye Chen had arrived.
Looking at the place where the brown-robed youngster had disappeared, he felt a bit regretful. One life and death stone had a ninety percent chance of helping a high rank half step king warrior reach the Life and Death Challenge Realm. Although it only referred to the martial geniuses and not all of the high rank half step king warriors, everyone who came here was a martial genius.
Inside the Savage Mountains of the Blood Sky Land, the place where the life and death door had once appeared …
Pop!
The space twisted, and a yellow-robed youngster appeared.
"Damn! If I don't take revenge, I will not be a human anymore."
The yellow-robed youngster had an evil look on his face.
…
There were not many life and death stones in the outer area of the Life and Death Secret Realm, so Ye Chen did not want to waste any more time here.
"Thousand year life grass!"
"Life fruit!"
The Life and Death Secret Realm was not a dead land. There were also some spirit medicines here. The life grass and the life fruit had the effect of healing wounds. Once they reached a certain age, they could even grow bones from the dead, which made them extremely valuable.
Spirit medicines and fruits that could heal wounds were extremely rare, so Ye Chen would naturally not let them go, so he put them all away.
Continuing forward, Ye Chen scanned the surroundings with his soul power from time to time, maintaining a range that would not consume too much soul power and would not miss any treasures nearby.
As his soul power scanned over a rock, Ye Chen seemed to have discovered something and scanned it again.
"Such a dense death qi!"
Stopping his body, Ye Chen landed beside the rock.
This rock was ordinary and gray-white in color. But if one looked closely, they would discover that there was a faint gray aura lingering on its surface. As soon as this gray aura came into contact with the nearby vegetation, it would immediately wither away, and the earth would lose all life.
"Rise!"
Ye Chen reached out his palm, and a suction force appeared.
Rumble!
A huge rock shot out of the ground, and Ye Chen held it in his right hand.
With a light shake of his palm, the rock shattered.
Within the shattered rock was a palm-sized profound black iron ore. On the surface of the iron ore, there was a gray qi flowing in and out as if it was breathing. As soon as Ye Chen's Zhen yuan came in contact with it, it showed signs of breaking apart.
"Death Qi Iron!"
Ye Chen slowly spat out a word.
Death Qi Iron was one of the extreme rank metals. Although it was not listed in the top ten mystical metals, it was still a rare extreme rank metal. Ye Chen had the Sword Forging Art, and in the future, when he wanted to forge extreme rank swords, he would have a huge demand for extreme rank metals. To him, this Death Qi Iron was not much weaker than the Life and Death Stone.
"Hehe, your luck is not bad, to be able to find such a huge piece of Death Qi Iron. After refining it, you will be able to obtain a longan-sized piece of Death Qi Iron. Let's make a deal, five million upper rank soul stones, sell this to me."
Not far away, a figure flew over. He stared at the Death Qi Iron in Ye Chen's hand with greed in his eyes.
"Five million upper rank soul stones, are you trying to chase away a beggar?"
Ye Chen had long since noticed him. Since the two of them didn't have any conflicts of interest before, they didn't clash even though they weren't far apart.
"I am the head disciple of the White Wolf Beast Sect. People call me Young Wolf. I believe you have heard of my name. Give me some face and sell it to me for five million upper rank soul stones."
The White Wolf Beast Sect was one of the top ten beast sects, and Young Wolf was one of the top eight beast sects. Most people would be afraid of these two names, and then make the right choice. After saying this, Young Wolf stared at Ye Chen with a smile, waiting for the latter to hand over the Death Qi Iron.
