The jade token Long Chen held shattered. That jade token was Zhu Yunwen's test token, used to test pressure.
Zhu Yunwen had said that the test limit for this jade token was the power of three thousand dragons. Long Chen borrowed it to scout the way, allowing him to accurately detect pressure and prevent accidents.
Among everyone present, only Zhu Yunwen was carrying the jade token. This was given to him by Yu Xiaoyun, the only one among them.
Now that the jade token had shattered, it meant the pressure ahead had already surpassed the power of three thousand dragons. Long Chen's face was full of shock:
"No wonder I almost broke my bones."
At that moment, Long Chen felt as if he had been struck by a mountain, nearly coughing up blood. If he hadn't retreated in time, he would have been injured.
"It seems this challenge requires everyone to work together and share the pressure to make it through.
This Vermilion Bird trial was meant to push their individual potential to the limit, while also testing their teamwork skills. Long Chen looked at the steps and basically understood the meaning of this trial.
If this terrifying force is used, no one can pass alone, with no hope at all. They must cooperate and leverage each other's strength to resist pressure together. If coordination goes wrong, the consequences could be unimaginable, and many people might be crushed to death.
"Whatever, let's give it a try!" Golden Dragon Battle Body—Open! With
a sharp shout, Long Chen's golden dragon scales lit up, and the sound of dragon roars echoed across the heavens and earth. He strode toward the steps.
"Boom!"
As Long Chen stepped onto the steps, a loud explosion sounded, and countless phantoms appeared in the world. They were actually the figures of ancient Vermilion Birds, beginning to take shape beneath Long Chen's Dragon Blood Battle Body. As soon as they appeared, they pressed down on him.
"Rumble rumble... Space
roared and exploded, fierce winds surged, and Long Chen's bones cracked as if he were carrying a star. In less than half a breath, stars began to appear before his eyes, and blood began to ooze from his nose, eyes, and ears.
"Whoosh."
Long Chen's mind grew dizzy, and just as he was about to collapse, he suddenly staggered backward.
"Rumble rumble...
Then, like a meteor, Long Chen was sent flying backward from the steps, crashing into the ground with a bang. Sparks flew as he flew straight toward the next step.
"What is that sound?"
Zhu Yifeng and the others were cultivating at the first step when they suddenly felt the heavens and earth trembling, and then sensed something flying toward them.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, something shining with golden light, accompanied by a howling wind, flew over their heads.
With a thunderous explosion, he saw Long Chen's head and feet slam hard against the door. Even with everyone's combined effort, they couldn't shake the door an inch, and Long Chen forcibly smashed a dent in the door.
"Squeak ..."
Then Long Chen slid down like a pancake slammed hard onto the iron door, making a teeth-tingling squeak.
"Long Chen..."
Yu Qingxuan cried out in alarm and hurriedly charged at Long Chen. Only then did the others snap out of their shock and quickly surround them.
When Yu Qingxuan lifted Long Chen off the gate, everyone was shocked. The golden scales all over Long Chen had shattered, and he was about to collapse flat—the sight was truly terrifying.
"I... "It's nothing."
It took Long Chen a long moment to catch his breath. After uttering three words, he hurried to heal his wounds. Fortunately, his body was strong, so this kind of injury would heal quickly.
Moreover, the chaotic space contains the Fusang Ancient Tree and the Lunar Wood, both with strong vitality, so he wasn't worried about such injuries.
Under everyone's questioning, Long Chen revealed the terrifying pressure of the tenth stage and apologized to Zhu Yunwen. The only test jade token was completely ruined.
"Three thousand dragon powers?"
Everyone was shocked, unable to believe their ears.
"That's impossible! Such terrifying power has never appeared in history. "
This pressure still comes down in a vortex, making it hard to resist together. If we make even the slightest mistake, we'll be wiped out." A princess's face turned pale with fear.
Everyone was stunned. The three thousand dragon power here wasn't something everyone could fight together; even if they did, it would inevitably cause power loss.
It's like one person's limit is one hundred jin, but ten people absolutely can't lift a thousand jin. Even if they work together and combine their strength, eight hundred jin is already the limit of limits.
A hundred people exerting force simultaneously can exert at most five thousand jin. The more people there are, the harder it is to coordinate and the greater the losses. Although people say more people make a difference, it's not just a simple combination.
Moreover, the pressure here isn't dead, but alive—it's like two people lifting a weight, and two people carrying a wildly struggling beast—the difficulty is completely different.
Before entering the third stage, over 800,000 people endured the assault of two hundred dragons' strength, exhausting their strength. They failed twice before succeeding on the third try.
Although the eldest prince Zhu Yunwen and many other princes here had personal strength reaching two hundred dragon powers, when breaking through, with the formation boosting the power and the force colliding back and forth, everyone was unable to exert their full strength, a feeling that made one spit blood.
Two hundred dragon power is already extremely difficult for them, but three thousand dragon power is simply impossible.
"Brother Long... Huh... Where is Brother Long? "Zhu Yunwen was about to discuss a countermeasure with Long Chen, but found that Long Chen was already gone."
"Careful, I'm back again..."
At that moment, Long Chen's exclamation echoed from afar, followed by a beam of golden light crashing hard against the door. Next to the original pit, another human-shaped pit was created.
It turned out that just as everyone was shocked and thinking about how to pass the trial, Long Chen had already begun his second attempt.
"Brother Long, are you alright?"
Zhu Yunwen and the others were stunned with fear. Long Chen was so fierce, he was actually going to break through again. After all, this was a group assault!
"It's fine, I refuse to believe I can't break through." Long Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and charged forward once again.
Watching Long Chen's unstoppable back, Zhu Yunwen and the others were shocked but also awakened by an unyielding will.
Long Chen must have taken immense courage and perseverance to break through alone. As princes and princesses of Vermilion Bird, they actually backed down and feared the adversity. Long Chen stood in stark contrast to them, each feeling ashamed and continuing to cultivate.
They were fighting alone, while they were working together. If they couldn't complete the mission, how could they possibly face anyone?
"Boom boom boom... Long
Chen kept being bounced away, each time crashing into the main gateThe gate was already devastated, and Long Chen was holding out on the tenth stage for longer and longer.
When Long Chen was able to stand steadily on the tenth step, suddenly the essence blood within him roared and exploded, and the runes within his bloodline formed tiny spheres.
"This ..." Long Chen was startled, not knowing whether this change was a blessing or a curse.
"Very good, dragon blood has formed an egg. You have basically taken the first step in the Dragon God Body Refining Technique."
At that moment, the voice of a dragon clan expert rang out, filled with relief and a hint of excitement.
