Chapter 689: Chapter 306: Third Level (Please Subscribe)_4
Leng Chanra, Zhoou Liangchen, and Little Xuanwu also successively leaped onto the suspended altar,
Chu Xisheng was most worried about Little Xuanwu.
Although this little fellow was a sub-species of the Xuanwu Divine Beast and had inherited the Life Sword Intent with extraordinary talent, it was only five months old. What combat abilities could it have?
Fortunately, even if they failed the challenge at this stage, there would be no threat to their lives.
Candle Yin was still counting on those outside to supply him with “Time Sequence Secret Stones.”
If the killings within the Secret Realm were too heavy, with too many casualties and not enough benefits, why would the Formless Divine Sect bother to expend a Time Sequence Secret Stone worth ten million annually to access the realm?
Chu Xisheng thought it was good that Little Xuanwu was sent out.
Outside, several Great Elders were present to look after this little turtle and the luggage on its back,
Leng Chanra then spotted Chu Ming not far away, staring with a blade-like gaze.
That expression looked as if she wanted to hack him to pieces.
Leng Chanra’s face remained calm as he locked eyes with Chu Ming for a moment, then casually said, “Don’t worry, I can’t lay a hand on you during this time-space passage.”
But Chu Ming just scoffed, “I was actually hoping you would try again.”
She clenched her hand tightly, and within her palm, grotesquely, grew a piece of bone the size of half an egg.
It was incredibly hard and black, resembling a black gemstone, yet it sprouted from Chu Ming’s palm, stretching her flesh and exposing it on the outside of her body.
Chu Ming thought with this power within her, she feared no one, not even Chu Xisheng.
At the same time, Chu Ming was secretly regretting it.
Had she known that the “Star Mage” would offer six Time Sequence Secret Stones and materials worth millions in Divine Gold to open the pathway to the Time Secret Realm and send so many people to take her life, she would have found an excuse not to enter this time.
At this moment, however, Chu Ming found herself in a tough spot.
If she couldn’t pass through the entire Time Secret Realm this time and left midway, how could she convince the many Elders of the Formless Divine Sect to believe she could inherit the “Blood Vengeance Saint”?
Afterward, Chu Xisheng and others remained in this place for an entire one and a half hours.
Although another twenty-odd people arrived after them, none succeeded in ascending the suspended altar.
As they approached, the barriers on the altar repelled them.
Chu Xisheng was frustrated because most of these people were from the Formless Divine Sect.
One and a half hours later, Chu Xisheng suddenly found everything before him turn dark, and he abruptly entered into an infinite expanse of void.
There wasn’t a single light around the altar, boundless and impossible to see anything.
However, the four stone lanterns erected on all four sides of the altar suddenly ignited with flames, revealing every detail within the twenty Zhang radius of the void.
Chu Xisheng immediately put his hand on his waist sword, ready to face a formidable enemy.
However, the opponent that appeared before him the next moment was not a Candle Dragon but a figure Chu Xisheng was extremely familiar with.
—It was a young man in a green robe, his eyebrows shaped like straight blades, his eyes resembling the Yan Ling Saber.
His nose rose high like mountains, and the corners of his lips sketched a blade-like smile, fierce and compelling.
Chu Xisheng immediately felt his pupils constrict.
He had seen this man before in the vision created within the Illusion Realm when he was studying the “Vengeful True Intent True Diagram.”
However, the figure in the illusion was already in his thirties, and his demeanor was not as sharp as the youth before him; it was like a majestic mountain and a deep sea, something the youth did not possess.
This was the young “Blood Vengeance Blade Lord”!
In that moment, Chu Xisheng felt an immense headache.
Meanwhile, at the Formless Divine Mountain’s Dao Yi Hall, the numerous Great Elders who had gathered were also stunned, subsequently showing signs of amazement.
“It’s the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord? This is the ‘Time Mirror’ simulated by Candle Yin!”
The Great Elder of the Mage Institute, Zhi Feizi, said with a determined expression.
This was the Ancient Giant Spirit Candle Yin pulling from the Time River, the imprint left in the Secret Realm by the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord, creating a mirrored avatar with the complete strength of the Blade Lord at that time.
Scripture Pavilion Grand Elder Wang Baimei furrowed his white eyebrows, “According to past records, the third layer of the Time Secret Realm set by Candle Yin has always had the Candle Dragon as the guardian. There has never been an exception. Why is it the ‘Time Mirror’ this time?”
“Isn’t that obvious?”
The Grand Elder of the Disciplinary Institute, Lu Shouyang, let out a cold laugh, his eyes filled with annoyance, “He changed the rules on the fly, unwilling to see Chu Xisheng access the third layer of the Secret Realm. It seems that those sword moves are very important to both the master of the Secret Realm and the Wood Sword Immortal.”
He had always detested such perfidious and rule-breaking behavior.
Lu Shouyang then glanced sideways at Li Changsheng, “This makes me even more eager. Sect Master, does Chu Xisheng have a chance in this fight?”
Four months within the Secret Realm roughly equated to ten days outside.
All the Great Elders present were busy people; who had the time to stay here day after day watching Chu Xisheng’s cultivation?
Only Li Changsheng, who had already achieved the Divine Split Avatar, could monitor Chu Xisheng’s whereabouts while handling official duties in Dao Yi Hall.
Therefore, among those present, only Li Changsheng had a complete understanding of Chu Xisheng’s current cultivation and combat strength.
Yet, Li Changsheng looked conflicted.
“How should I put it?”
His chubby face was full of helplessness, and his voice hesitant, “I only know the current Chu Xisheng, not the Blood Vengeance Blade Lord of those days. The only thing I can predict is that this battle will be incredibly tedious. Incredibly tedious.”
The others were initially puzzled, then they realized the implication, and their faces turned to strange expressions momentarily.
Vengeance Blade against Vengeance Blade—how could such a battle unfold?
