The main hall was spacious and seemed to be boundless. Eight ancient silver pillars stood erect, as if they were pillars that reached the heavens. Four rays of blood-red light shuttled back and forth among them, drifting indeterminately.
Three figures were chasing after a blood-red light. Every time they were about to catch up, they would reach out and grab it. The blood-red light would suddenly increase in speed and slip away from their hands.
Chen Zong did not get angry even though the blood-red light had slipped away from his hands a few times. Instead, he became calmer and calmer as he carefully observed and sensed.
The blood-red light's trajectory was unpredictable and untraceable.
Chen Zong's heart was calm and collected. He remained where he was, as if he was waiting.
The Ancient Wind Mansion's purple-robed disciple, Black Murderous, and Bronze Murderous continued to increase their speed. However, no matter how fast they increased their speed, they still could not catch up to the blood-red light. Every time they increased their speed, they would almost catch up to the blood-red light. The feeling of missing by a hair's breadth made their emotions fluctuate.
From the corner of their eyes, they saw Chen Zong stop and did not continue to chase after the blood-red pill. They immediately sneered and felt disdain.
He was merely a semi-sage expert. Even if he had some means and some innate talent, he was nothing in front of true strength.
"Hmph, a half-step saint like you wants to compete with us for the blood-red pill. What a joke." The Ancient Wind Mansion's purple-robed disciple secretly mocked.
Heart Domain!
In an instant, the Heart Domain spread out and covered a radius of five meters. Everything within five meters was under his control.
"That is …" The old man suddenly felt an unusual fluctuation from Chen Zong's body. He carefully sensed it and was immediately shocked. He was even more shocked and overjoyed.
At this moment, a blood-red pill turned into a blood-red light and flew past. It happened to be a few meters away from Chen Zong and entered the range of the Heart Domain.
At this moment, Chen Zong reached out and grabbed.
It was as if he was holding a flower with his bare hands. It was casual and smooth. There was an indescribable charm to it. It was like returning to the natural state.
There was a faint afterimage in the air. Chen Zong had already stopped, and the blood-red light also disappeared.
A Blood Pill fell into Chen Zong's hand.
"Such pure and majestic energy." Chen Zong was shocked when he felt the energy fluctuation from the Blood Pill in his hand.
He didn't consume it immediately. Instead, he put it into his storage ring and set his eyes on the other Blood Pill.
There were four Blood Pills in total. The other two were chasing after one each. Chen Zong had already taken one, and the last one was flying around randomly.
Chen Zong took a step forward as if he was taking a stroll in the park. It was hard to tell where he was going, as if he was following the changes in the blood light.
His powerful soul gave Chen Zong greater perception and insight. His mind was as fast as lightning, and he kept calculating.
Chen Zong didn't constantly release his Heart Domain as it was very taxing on his mind.
About seven minutes later, Xiao Chen activated his Heart Domain again, covering a radius of five meters. He waited for the scarlet light to fly over on its own. This was the result of countless simulations in Chen Zong's mind. It should not be wrong.
After waiting for a few dozen breaths, Xiao Chen's Heart Domain was constantly taxing on his mind. When more than half of his Heart Domain was consumed, a scarlet light flew over.
As soon as it entered the range of his Heart Domain, Chen Zong immediately captured its trajectory and caught it.
The second Blood Pill was in his hand.
"Good! Good! Good!" The old man was overjoyed when he saw this scene.
The other two also noticed and were shocked. They couldn't believe it.
How could a half-Saint get a Blood Pill faster than the two of them?
Exploding in an instant, Yang Kai's speed soared. He had clearly used a Secret Technique to increase his speed. This kind of Secret Technique had a great impact on his body, so he was not willing to use it lightly. Even when he was chasing Chen Zong, he had not used it, but now, as a dignified Saint Realm master, how could he lose to a mere Half-Saint?
He had to fight.
His speed increased, and his movement technique became even faster. He immediately caught up with the scarlet light and caught it. The Blood Pill was in his hand.
The two stopped at the same time. The Ancient Wind Mansion's purple-robed disciple's face was pale, and his aura fluctuated. As for the Black Fiend, his face couldn't be seen because of his black robe, but his aura was also much weaker.
It was obvious that he had used a lot of energy just now.
"Since you all have Blood Pills, I'll give you all a chance." The old man's unfathomable gaze swept across them. Chen Zong and company's hearts skipped a beat. "Originally, I let you all in just to pass some time and have some fun. But now, I'm in a good mood. I've decided to give you all a chance to obtain a true fortuitous encounter."
"A true fortuitous encounter!" Chen Zong's eyes flashed. The Ancient Wind Mansion's purple-robed disciple's breathing quickened as well. The Black Fiend's aura fluctuated more intensely.
Excitement!
This old man was unfathomable. The Blood Pill had already shocked them. What about the true fortuitous encounter?
If they could obtain the true fortuitous encounter, they would benefit immensely.
Chen Zong couldn't help but feel excited as well.
"This cave abode is called the Ancient Asura Palace. It was left behind by my master, the Ancient Asura King," the old man said again.
"Ancient Asura King?" Chen Zong and company paused. They had never heard of this name before. However, to be called a king, one had to be a King-Ranked martial artist or a King-Ranked formidable martial artist.
From the looks of it, it was obviously the latter.
Then, could the true fortuitous encounter be the Ancient Asura King's inheritance?
A King-Ranked formidable martial artist's inheritance?
At once, apart from Chen Zong, the other two were very tempted.
As for Chen Zong, he already had the Great Abyss King's memories. It was as if he had the Great Abyss King's inheritance. Hence, he was rather calm. This calmness and composure was seen by the old man, and he was very satisfied.
A true formidable martial artist had to have both strength and temperament. If one only had strength but no temperament, he would just be a brute.
However, if one only had temperament but no strength, it would be like building a castle in the sky.
Only when one had both could one become a formidable martial artist.
The old man waved his sleeves. Instantly, a buzzing sound rang out. The eight ancient silver pillars in the main hall shook simultaneously. The blood-red patterns on them seemed to have been activated. They danced like dragons and snakes, releasing a shocking aura.
Immediately, an ancient silver door appeared in the middle of the main hall. It was ancient and vast, deep and majestic.
There were streaks of blood-red patterns on the door. The patterns intertwined like silk and seemed to form a figure. That figure seemed to be filled with endless wonder.
Boom!
The ancient silver door opened. Behind it, there was actually a blood-red light. There seemed to be countless corpses floating in the blood-red light. It was like the Asura Hell. An extremely frightening baneful aura emanated from it. Instantly, the three's faces changed. Their hairs stood on end. An indescribable fear surged from the depths of their hearts.
This door seemed to open a path to the Asura Hell.
Chen Zong did not move, but his expression was serious. However, the Ancient Wind Mansion's purple-robed disciple and the Black Fiend's member shuddered. They subconsciously took a step back.
The old man saw this and understood what it meant.
"This is a test. If you want to obtain my master's inheritance, you have to pass this test." The old man spoke. His voice was heavy and filled with killing intent. Everyone's heart trembled. "If you cannot pass the test, you will die inside. It is up to you whether you want to take the test or not. If you don't want to, I will send you out now."
Hearing that they would die, the three's expressions became even more serious.
Nobody wanted to die.
However, in front of such a huge opportunity, everyone wanted to obtain it.
Although Chen Zong already had the Taiyuan King's memories, the Taiyuan King was the Taiyuan King. Other King-Ranked martial artists were other King-Ranked martial artists. They all had their own methods.
For all they knew, the Ancient Asura King's inheritance might be suitable for them.
No matter what, since he had encountered this fortuitous encounter, he had to challenge it and obtain it.
The three were very determined. If they wanted to obtain this opportunity, they had to bear the risk of death. This was normal.
If they retreated out of fear because of this, if they encountered any opportunities in the future, they would still be afraid and retreated. If that was the case, what was the point of talking about cultivation? They might as well disperse their cultivation and find a secluded place to spend the rest of their lives.
"Since you are not retreating, then go in," the old man said.
The Black Fiend's member's body flashed. His body seemed to be swallowed by the blood sea and disappeared.
Immediately, the Ancient Wind Mansion's purple-robed disciple also flashed and entered. Chen Zong was the last to enter.
"I hope you can pass this test," the old man muttered to himself.
…
The blood light was boundless, and the blood sea was churning. The thick smell of blood filled the air, seeping into one's body through one's nostrils. One's entire body seemed to be melting in this blood light.
Everywhere one looked, one could only see the blood light stretching out.
After what seemed like a long time, Chen Zong's body descended. He appeared in a world that looked like it was the end of the world. The sky was dark red. Streaks of blood light surged like waves. The clouds were endless.
The ground was dark red as well. It seemed to have been watered by countless amounts of blood. Countless cracks appeared on the ground. Countless dried bones were buried in the dark red ground. Corpses and bones were everywhere. One's hair stood on end.
Even further away, Chen Zong saw the lava lake emitting a shocking red light and terrifying heat.
The smell of burnt sulfur and blood filled the air. It was suffocating.
Ferocious, murderous aura. It was endless.
This place was like a place from Asura's purgatory.
Chen Zong's expression was serious. This kind of place was really too terrifying. That shocking murderous aura constantly attacked him. It was as if it wanted to corrode his mind and turn him into a mad demon that only knew how to kill.
However, Chen Zong's soul was powerful, and his will was extremely firm. He was not affected at all. However, this kind of effect was not a one-time thing. Instead, it would be subtle over a long period of time. The more it accumulated, the stronger it would become.
However, Chen Zong was puzzled about another thing. Entering this place was a test.
Then, what was the test?
The old man did not say anything specific. He only said that it was a test and entering this place. That was all.
With doubts, Chen Zong looked away after sweeping his gaze. He stared in one direction and began to walk forward.
He did not say anything about the test. Did the old man miss it? Or did he do it on purpose?
Or perhaps, the test's content was hidden here. He would know when the time came.
No matter what, since he had already entered this place, he might as well go. He could not just stay here.
