"Buzz"—
the void twisted, and Long Chen was taken directly by the Qiankun Cauldron to a desolate place.
As he stepped onto this desolate land, Long Chen felt a sudden tightness in his heart, and a wave of sorrow welled up inside him.
This is a blood-red world: blood-red walls, blood-red floor tiles, blood-red rocks—every building here is blood-red.
As soon as he arrived, a thick stench of blood filled his air. At the same time, Long Chen's blood surged and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Creak creak... Endless
rage surged in his heart, his fists clenched so tightly they creaked, and his wild desire to kill erupted without warning.
"A world stained red with blood, weathered by the passage of time, weathered by storms and eroded by time, yet still does not fade.
Did you feel it? They, like you, are disciples of the Nine Star lineage, facing endless enemies and isolated and helpless, fighting fiercely for three thousand years.
Not a single one of the 100,000 Nine-Star disciples surrendered. Even the last one fought alongside countless strong warriors on their journey.
Originally, here the piles of bones piled up like mountains reaching the sky, taller than any mountain you've ever seen.
Now, endless years have passed, and these corpses have long been reduced to ashes under the erosion of time.
But the blood of the Nine-Star disciples, stained red in the world, never fades; they are the most respected warriors in this world. "The Qiankun Cauldron sighed, its voice deep and distant, as if transporting people back to a distant ancient era.
"Who exactly killed them?" Long Chen gritted his teeth and said, his killing intent surging; he wanted to avenge them.
Although Long Chen had never met these Nine-Star disciples before, feeling their bloodline summons, Long Chen felt as if he had witnessed the sacrifice of the Dragon Blood Warriors with his own eyes. The killing intent was almost igniting Long Chen.
"There are too many people killing them: demon clan, demon clan, underworld clan, blood clan, feather clan, night clan, strength clan, barbarian slaughter clan, wild beast clan, spirit monster clan..."
The Qiankun Cauldron listed hundreds of races in one breath, most of which Long Chen had never heard of.
"Of course, there are also you humans." The Qiankun Cauldron finally said.
"Those damned bastards, I'll make them pay in blood." Long Chen gritted his teeth and said.
"That's a matter for the future. Come on, we have business to do. Let's move forward." Qiankun Cauldron said.
Following the instructions of the Qiankun Cauldron, Long Chen entered the blood-red world. It was clear that after this place was occupied, someone had destroyed everything here, as if they intended to erase everything here.
Ahead lay a field of ruins. The Qiankun Cauldron had Long Chen dig out a passage from the ruins—an underground passage that was extremely well preserved.
Originally, murals were supposed to be carved on both sides of the passage, but they had been scraped by sharp tools, making it impossible to tell what they used to look like.
Immediately after, Long Chen saw a complete mural. On the mural, a demon clan powerhouse with wings on his back tore through the void with his claws, and within the void, a figure was torn apart.
The torn figure didn't deliberately outline his face, but from the star phenomenon behind him, it was clear he was a disciple of the Nine Star lineage.
"Courting death" Seeing this,
Long Chen was furious. He slammed his fist into the wall, and with a loud explosion, the wall cracked. The figure of the demon clan expert was punched into a large crater.
"The Winged Demon Clan actually dares to insult my Nine-Star lineage. You'd better let me meet you, or I'll kill every one I meet." Long Chenfei was about to explode with rage.
Without even thinking, it was clear that the Winged Demon Clan was involved in the siege of the Nine Star lineage, and they had deliberately left murals to humiliate the Nine Star heirs and to highlight their achievements.
Moving forward, there was no more graffiti. Clearly, many people had rushed in to cause destruction, and none were as bored as the Winged Demon Clan and casually graffiti.
After entering the underground passage, these people destroyed all the murals. Although Long Chen didn't know what was painted on them, based on experience, he knew that this place must contain the secrets of the Nine Star lineage.
They walked forward for three hours, passing through eight gates, all violently smashed. When they reached the end of the passage, Long Chen saw a complete portal.
The portal was scarred and full of holes. Clearly, it had endured countless heavy blows, yet the intruders had never managed to destroy it.
"This is the Nine Star Disciple Trial Ground. Haven't you always wanted to know just how strong a Nine-Star Disciple of the same level really is? Now the opportunity has come. "The Qiankun Cauldron said.
"You mean..." Long Chen was both surprised and delighted, unable to believe his ears.
"This is the highest-level trial for disciples of the Nine-Star lineage. The first eight gates can be opened and closed by people.
But this ninth gate is beyond anyone's control. Once you enter the trial, you can never turn back.
Either succeed in the challenge, or die inside, having all their power absorbed by the laws here.
Because it absorbed so much power from the Nine-Star disciples, the sect became indestructible. The invaders had no choice but to give up, so everything here was destroyed except for this one. "The Qiankun Cauldron said.
"You mean to let me enter the strongest trial?" Long Chen said.
"That's right, here is a Nine-Star successor of the Realm King Realm, whose realm is the same as yours, and who has also activated the Seven-Star Battle Body.
The difference was that he was not a real person, but a prodigy from ancient times, ranked ninety-seventh among his peers at the peak of the Nine Star lineage.
At that time, the Nine Stars lineage chose to copy his strength as the standard for the trial. "The Qiankun Cauldron said.
"Only ninety-seven?"
Long Chen originally thought he was ranked first, but it turned out to be ninety-seventh.
"Only ninety-seven?"
The Qiankun Cauldron said irritably, "Do you know that at its peak, the Nine Stars lineage almost ruled the entire world, reaching from heaven to earth, supreme and supreme."
At that time, there were hundreds of millions of Nine Star successors of the same generation, ranking ninety-seventh among the billions... Forget it, I can't be bothered to explain to you. Open the door, and soon you'll understand what a ninety-seventh-ranked strength is. Hearing
this, Long Chen immediately became alert. If that's the case, this guy ranked ninety-seventh must be extremely abnormal.
"How do we open the door?" Long Chen asked.
"Stretch out your hands—do you see two dents on either side of the main gate that look like handprints?" Just put it in. "The Qiankun Cauldron said.
After inspection, Long Chen did find two dents on the scarred main door. The pits were severely damaged, making them hard to spot without careful inspection.
Long Chen pressed his hands into the pit, and suddenly his body trembled violently. The divine ring behind him opened, and the Seven-Star Battle Body was automatically summoned.
"Buzz"
Immediately after, countless stars lit up on the massive portal. At that moment, the door was riddled with holesThe gate became a gateway to the star domain.
"Whoosh."
Suddenly, Long Chen's vision blurred, the gate before him vanished, and he stood in an ancient arena.
Then Long Chen saw a long-haired man with a cold face standing before him. The man wore a white robe with a jade belt at his waist, standing there like a statue.
His eyes were tightly shut, showing no aura, but the moment Long Chen saw him, his heart raced wildly. His powerful senses told him this man was terrifying.
"Whew."
Suddenly, the man in the white robe opened his eyes. The moment he did, seven stars spun in them, and Long Chen's hair stood on end. At that moment, it was as if a primordial beast was staring at him.
