"I know him. He is Duan Lang, ranked thirteenth on the Life and Death Realm Substitute List. Among all the Life and Death Realm warriors, he likes to hurt others the most. Last time when the Life and Death Secret Realm was opened, a lot of people had been hurt by him and wasted a lot of time."
The speaker was a young man who looked like he was in his thirties, but his real age was probably in his fifties. Thinking about it, he had also been in the Life and Death Secret Realm last time, and he might have been hurt by Duan Lang or seen others suffer.
"This Duan Lang is so evil! His cultivation is at the second level of the Life and Death Challenge. Why would he want to mess with us? So despicable!"
"Let's break this qi wall together. The bridge stops people from going through, but it should not stop qi power from going through, right?"
Someone suggested.
"Yeah, use qi power to attack from afar. There are so many of us here. If we spend some time, we will be able to break this qi wall easily."
Hearing him, everyone's eyes brightened.
"It's useless."
Ye Chen shook his head.
"Useless? Have you tried it before? "These people turned around and looked at Ye Chen.
"The life and death bridge … no matter if it is a human or a power, they will not be able to go through without any problems, because the stone statues on both sides of the bridge will attack the power as well. The qi wall will not be attacked because it is a safe area." As he spoke, Ye Chen waved his hand and a qi power shot out.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! When that qi power arrived on the bridge, the stone statues on both sides opened their mouths and shot out beams of light, destroying that qi power.
"What! Even qi power could not go through?"
"Damn! This Duan Lang is so annoying!"
"It seems like we should go look for other bridges, unless we can wait for a top half step king warrior to show up. Only they would be able to break this qi wall."
"Let's go! Let's not waste time here."
Some of them were preparing to leave.
"No need to look for other bridges. I can break this qi wall."
It was indeed Ye Chen who was talking. He started walking on the bridge step by step. When he arrived on the bridge, the stone statues on both sides shot out beams at him. However, before they could even get close to Ye Chen, they were all cut in half, as if there was an invisible sword net covering Ye Chen.
"Such a fast sword speed."
Among those present, which of them wasn't a genius and a half-step King? Therefore, although they couldn't see the trajectory of Ye Chen's sword, they could at least see Ye Chen's sword. Ye Chen's sword, which had been launched later, arrived first. It was unknown how many times he had slashed in an instant, breaking through the first wave of attacks.
Soon, Ye Chen arrived next to the qi wall.
Ye Chen swung his sword diagonally without the need to accumulate power.
Chi!
A bright sword mark flashed across the qi wall. In the next moment, the qi wall was destroyed.
"What a frightening sword artist! His cultivation base is only at the top half step king realm. How can his attacking power be so powerful?"
Everyone was shocked. Duan Lang himself was at the second level of the Life and Death Challenge. Although the defense of the qi wall left behind by him could not reach this level, it would still take someone at least at the first level of the Life and Death Challenge to break it.
The qi wall that Duan Lang had left behind was very special. It was a place that was not attacked by the stone statues. Waiting until the qi wall was broken, Ye Chen took a step forward, and the stone statues reacted immediately. Beams of light attacked toward Ye Chen. If it were someone else, they would be able to break through the qi wall with a little bit of time. However, they did not have the time, because while they were attacking the qi wall, the stone statues behind Ye Chen would also be attacking him. Unless they could break through the qi wall in an instant, they would be badly wounded by the light waves behind them.
In other words, once they were in the middle of the bridge, they would be attacked if they moved forward, and they would be attacked if they moved backward. If they could not make it through, they would be killed immediately. It would be impossible for them to be blown back, unless they could not even make it through the first wave of attacks.
After passing through the bridge easily, Ye Chen did not even look back as he entered the inner area. As for the people behind him, they would have to rely on their own power to make it through.
…
The number of evil spirits in the inner area was way more than the outer area. In the outer area, it would be lucky to run into one every couple of days. But in the inner area, Ye Chen would run into one almost every day.
Unfortunately, even in the inner area, the chance of having a life and death stone inside the evil spirits was not that high. If one out of fifty evil spirits had a life and death stone, it would already be a very high chance.
Pooh!
After killing a wild bull evil spirit, Ye Chen shook his head. It did not have a life and death stone inside its body.
"No wonder every time the Life and Death Secret Realm opens, more than half of the people would not be able to get a life and death stone. Among the remaining people, sixty percent of them would only be able to get one. In order to get a life and death stone, one would not only have to be powerful, but also have to be lucky. Without luck, killing fifty of them would not be as good as killing one."
"The good thing is that I can stay in the Life and Death Secret Realm for three months. Right now, only ten days have passed, and there are still two months left. No rush."
Ye Chen was not in a hurry at all. If he could not get a life and death stone in the inner area, there was still the core area, where the chance of getting one would be higher. It would also be a place where powerful warriors would fight for.
While Ye Chen was killing evil spirits, the others were not just sitting around. This time, there were more than one hundred and fifty people who had entered the Life and Death Secret Realm. There were almost two hundred people, and more than half of them would be able to make it to the inner area.
If it were not for the fact that the inner area was big enough, Ye Chen might be able to run into these people.
…
Swoosh!
A pale white blade light sliced through the sky and cut open a fierce tiger evil spirit's body.
The fierce tiger evil spirit was extremely powerful. Even after being cut open, it did not disappear. Instead, it twisted its body and jumped toward Dugu Jue with a roar.
"Die!"
The white-haired Dugu Jue had a cold look on his face as his long blade sliced through the tiger evil spirit's head.
Boom!
The tiger evil spirit was killed immediately, and its body disappeared. After its body disappeared, a stone surrounded by two colored qi flows floated in the air.
"Life and death stone!"
Dugu Jue's cold eyes slightly brightened.
As the number one martial genius of the Dugu family, Dugu Jue did not have as many Zhen yuan crystals as Ye Chen. But, there were Life and Death Realm warriors in the family, so some Zhen yuan crystals were more than enough for him to train. Relying on the Zhen yuan crystals and his extremely high training talent, Dugu Jue was already at top rank half step king warrior level. As long as he was not too unlucky, one life and death stone would definitely allow him to reach the first level of the Life and Death Challenge.
"This way, the gap between my cultivation and theirs will be smaller."
In Dugu Jue's mind, they were the top warriors in the Life and Death Realm Substitute List.
On the other side …
"Haha, my luck is not bad. I killed twelve evil spirits and got one life and death stone. I have the evil spirit body. Once I reach the first level of the Life and Death Challenge, who would be able to beat me?" Chu Zhongtian had merged the life and death stone into his body. He could clearly feel that the stone was helping him to improve his mental state. It was a slow process, but it was a continuous process.
"No, those older generation martial geniuses are nothing to worry about. I will surpass them sooner or later. But, Dugu Jue, Dantai Mingyue, Liu Wujian, and Jiang Tian are not easy to mess with. If their realms are higher than mine, then the chance of me beating them would be very small."
Chu Zhongtian's comprehensive ability was not that high. Among the people who had entered the Life and Death Secret Realm, he was probably the last one. Therefore, he felt that one life and death stone was not enough. It would be best if he could get more and reach the third level of the Life and Death Challenge.
In the blink of an eye, twenty days had passed.
During this time, more than half of the people who had entered the inner area had gotten one life and death stone. All of them were improving their mental states, and some of them had even increased their realms.
How could one describe Ye Chen's luck?
Very bad!
Entering the inner area, he had killed twenty-five evil spirits in total, but he had not gotten even one life and death stone.
"Two life and death evil spirits … I hope my luck is better."
On this day, Ye Chen ran into two life and death evil spirits that had gathered together. This was something that had never happened before, since life and death evil spirits usually moved alone.
"Go!"
The Broken Blood Sword was taken out of its scabbard, turning into thirty-three sword shadows and shooting out.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Under the attack of Ye Chen's defensive sword spell, the two evil spirits could not do anything. They were pierced through by the sword shadows and disappeared immediately.
"Got it!"
Ye Chen squeezed his eyes.
After one of the evil spirits disappeared, a life and death stone floated out, releasing a two-colored qi flow.
Holding the life and death stone, Ye Chen studied it carefully. He could feel that once his soul power got close to the stone, a magical feeling would be transmitted back to him. That feeling was like going through countless life and death battles, and his mental state was slowly improving.
"The life and death stone allows people to feel life and death. No wonder it can improve mental state. But, it is still an external item after all. With it, I can increase my cultivation by a small level. But, if I want to reach the Life and Death Realm, it is not something that the life and death stone can do. The chance is very small."
Activating his Zhen yuan, the life and death stone naturally merged into his body.
Ye Chen sensitively realized that there was a faint life and death qi leaking out of his body. If one did not look carefully, it would be hard to notice.
"This life and death qi is released by the life and death stone automatically, so it is hard to hide. I hope no one will come looking for trouble."
Ye Chen immediately understood that the life and death stone that had merged into his body could also be stolen. As long as he killed the opponent, the life and death stone inside his body would be exposed. Unless the stone's energy had been used up, it would still be useful.
After half a month, some people had already gotten their second life and death stone.
Although Ye Chen did not get a second life and death stone, the life and death stone inside his body had already been used up, and his cultivation had surprisingly reached the first layer of life and death challenge.
The first layer of life and death challenge had doubled his Zhen yuan. When he was a high level half step king warrior, he could use the Evil Shattering Sword ten times. But now, he could use it twenty times. The quality of his Zhen yuan had also improved a little, becoming purer than before.
In addition, Ye Chen could vaguely feel that his understanding of life and death had deepened, and his usage of Zhen yuan had naturally improved as well.
The life and death challenge realm was extremely mysterious, allowing one to comprehend life and death.
"The gap between a high level half step king warrior and a 'strongest' half step king warrior is not small at all. Under the situation where the talent and comprehensive ability are similar, the latter can easily beat the former without any effort. With my current strength, I wonder how much of a chance I would have if I were to encounter a normal Life and Death Realm warrior."
Last time, during the battle with the demonic human king, Ye Chen had used all of his skills, including the Sky Scorpio Sword. But, he still could not do anything to his opponent. His opponent had been hit a few times, but it did not hurt at all. The gap was simply too huge.
