"Boom boom boom... On
the tenth stage of the sixth stage, Long Chen endured immense pressure, fiercely battling those demon clan experts. At this moment, his movements could barely keep pace with their speed.
However, each session could last at most two hours. Under immense pressure, their strength was exhausted, and they had to return to the first stage to rest.
Now, inside Long Chen's soul space, it had completely turned into a golden ocean, and within that golden ocean, an ancient bronze cauldron floated before the Divine Gate.
Nourished by golden energy, Long Chen noticed that the bronze cauldron seemed to have undergone a different transformation, as if this golden energy had a certain nourishing effect on it.
As more and more golden energy poured into his soul space, Long Chen noticed that his soul power was undergoing strange changes.
However, Long Chen did not feel his soul power growing stronger, nor did he sense his soul space expanding. He couldn't quite explain exactly what had changed.
And the state that allowed Long Chen to be divided was even more mysterious and indescribable, leaving people very confused, as if Long Chen was stepping into an unknown territory.
After resting for a while, Long Chen continued his charge to the tenth level. This time, after refining his soul, egg-like runes suddenly appeared in the chaotic space.
Now, with such runes appearing on Long Chen's blood, qi, bones, spirit, and soul, it also means that his soul refinement has reached its peak.
"Long Chen"
When Long Chen retreated to the first stage to rest, Zhu Yunwen, Yu Qingxuan, and the others had already reached the sixth level. Everyone was overjoyed to see each other.
Long Chen was shocked to find that Zhu Yunwen and the others' auras were growing ever sharper. Previously, they were like sword embryos, but now, after the trials of the battlefield, they were gradually revealing their edge.
These royal disciples were all true geniuses, but their poor combat experience left their combat power so low it was almost baffling.
After the battlefield trials, their combat experience increased rapidly. Clearly, this trial was tailor-made for them.
At this moment, they possessed powerful combat instincts; they were no longer rookies but true warriors. From their sharp eyes, one could see their transformation; they had truly been reborn.
Turns out, the Vermilion Bird royal family had deliberately withheld their training before, just to confuse their enemies. Now, these divine weapons were finally about to be wielded.
After Long Chen inquired, it was revealed that they had already reached the seventh stage in one go. The demon clan powerhouses Long Chen had crippled seemed somewhat redundant; their growth rate was faster than Long Chen had imagined.
What shocked Long Chen the most was that Zhu Yifeng's gaze was sharp as lightning, as if a massive volcano inside him was slowly opening. Among these people, he was actually the one who had made the most progress.
"Let's go, to the tenth level."
Long Chen and the others rested briefly, then led them straight toward the tenth stage. With Long Chen's protection, the Zhuque royal disciples were completely free to act without Long Chen taking action.
The 800,000-strong army swept through like a swept-through force all the way to the tenth tier, but as soon as they reached the tenth tier, their expressions changed.
They never expected to endure immense pressure and fight here. However, when 800,000 strong warriors charged at the same time, under the pressure distribution, they could barely hold their ground.
Long Chen was different. He was alone, bearing all the pressure and having to split his mind to fight these demon clan powerhouses head-on.
They summoned a phenomenon; the Vermilion Bird's aura surged, endless flames surged, and they unleashed their full power, holding nothing back, fighting madly.
With Long Chen around, they didn't need to conserve their strength and could fight head-on with peace of mind. Amid the frenzied fight, Long Chen discovered that under the pressure of this place, the phenomena behind them all became increasingly solid.
The more solidified the phenomenon, the stronger their flame power became. Every move was fierce and unstoppable, and their combat power increased every moment.
This made Long Chen envious. The Vermilion Bird Empire's foundation was truly formidable. If they could break through, just the 800,000 disciples of the Vermilion Bird royal family would probably scare those enemies out of their wits.
Clearly, the Vermilion Bird Empire was deliberately showing weakness, aiming to play a big game and settle the matter once and for all, wiping out all enemies.
The group had been fiercely battling on the tenth stage for several hours. By the time they were all exhausted, Zhu Yunwen had long wanted to take them back to rest and recharge.
But Long Chen disagreed and ordered everyone to continue fighting fiercely here. Long Chen found that under extreme conditions, their potential was constantly squeezed out, and their progress was faster.
The royal disciples were all extremely proud, gritting their teeth and stubbornly holding on. Countless times, they seemed about to give up, but once they thought others were still holding on, they absolutely could not give up.
Gritting their teeth, they persisted for several hours. Soon, they found that the pressure here was decreasing, demon clan experts were dwindling, and finally, when all demon clan experts were killed, the pressure would disappear.
When the demon clan powerhouse disappeared, the royal disciples finally breathed a sigh of relief. Most of them couldn't hold on and collapsed to the ground, feeling severely exhausted.
"Qingxuan, are you alright?"
Long Chen looked at Yu Qingxuan, whose face was a bit pale, and said with some concern.
Yu Qingxuan was indeed very tired, but seeing Long Chen looking at her, she smiled sweetly and said,
"I'm fine. This trial has helped me a lot. I used to be obsessed with alchemy and not good at fighting, but now I finally have a chance to make up for it."
Hehe, if I had the strength I have in the Three Thousand Worlds, I wouldn't be worrying about you anymore. "
Yu Qingxuan's greatest strength lies in alchemy. In the Yantian Divine Sect, she also specializes in alchemy. She dislikes fighting, and her combat strength and experience are very weak.
But in the Heavenly Fire World and the Three Thousand Worlds, she finally realized the cruelty of this world and how important having great martial power was. Now, she felt the sense of security that came with her strength.
Here, Yu Qingxuan's lethality was undoubtedly the highest. Her life flame was the Celestial Rainbow Flame, and the Vermilion Bird in the phenomenon was different from others—it was seven-colored.
Moreover, in her vision, besides the Vermilion Bird, there was also a seven-colored celestial rainbow. However, Yu Qingxuan clearly could not yet harness the power of the rainbow.
Yu Qingxuan's potential was terrifying, but her personality was calm and composed, and many of her combat instincts hadn't been fully realized. Still, now, her potential was beginning to show signs of awakening.
After half an hour, everyone had recovered to about seventy to eighty percent. Long Chen gave them no time to rest and led them straight toward the front gate.
The first three levels are pressure, while the last three are practical battles. If Long Chen guessed correctly, the latter three should be a different kind of trial.
When he reached the gate, Long Chen didn't hesitate at all. He stepped forward, the space before his eyes shifted, and in an instant, he found himself in an endless sea of fire.
"Wow!"
When Huo Ling'er saw the endless sea of fire, she let out a cheer and ran out of the chaotic space, her face full of excitement.
