Both his physical body and Primordial Spirit were undergoing metamorphosis.
The three stages of the Void Cosmic Dragon's power and the Ancient Blood Spiritual Dragon's Path of Slaughter had resulted in Long Chen's current strength. Although he was only at the fourth stage of the Nirvana Tribulation realm, not many people could do anything to his combat power and strangeness. In particular, the Time Roaming Dragon and the Divine Refining Flame were simply supreme divine abilities.
After the metamorphosis was completed, he retracted his aura and slowly opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was Lingxi looking at him nervously. At the same time, she was resisting the invasion of the Demonic Consciousness for him. He felt very happy because of this.
Long Chen was not a person who was good at empty talk. The only thing he wanted to do now was to fulfill his father's long-cherished wish before he died and go to the Eternal Dragon City to clear his name. Then, when he was strong enough, he could take Lingxi around the world and live a peaceful life.
To be honest, after going through so much, Long Chen was also a little tired. However, he could not bear to let this kind girl keep taking risks with him.
"It's a success."
Seeing that Long Chen was unharmed, Lingxi's eyes were filled with the light of happiness. Even though they were now in a dirty and messy place, and the dirty black liquid on the ground was about ten centimeters deep and made people's scalps tingle, they were still floating on it.
Long Chen scanned his surroundings. There were endless demonic wills all around him.
He said, "I've already escaped from the demonic consciousness. With Little Xi's help, it will definitely be very difficult for them to bring disaster to me again. However, if we continue to stay here, we will only be able to stay here for fifty years. Su Zhen must have asked me to come here to unravel the secret he spoke of, and that secret should be hidden in this endless darkness …"
Lingxi's current strength was enough to protect the two of them in this world for countless years. If they did not have enough strength, it would not be a problem to catch a few Demonic Consciousness to replenish their strength.
"Let's take a break and then explore this strange place. Let's see if this is really the place where the Martial God got rid of his Demonic Obstruction," Long Chen decided after some thought.
The others didn't have any objections. After all, staying here was no different from waiting for death. They couldn't stay here for 50 years just because they were afraid of danger. If it was outside, with Long Chen's speed, he might have entered the Reincarnation Tribulation Realm in 50 years.
Letting Lingxi hold his arm, the two of them moved forward in this filthy world. Countless demonic wills rushed over, but under the purification of Lingxi's pure power, they all returned in defeat.
"Aren't I great?" Lingxi smiled slyly.
"Of course. If not for you, I would have been tortured to death." Long Chen patted her little face and said contentedly.
It was only now that he had adjusted his state of mind from the previous torture.
He also understood why Su Yuyao and the others were so gloating.
However, they had still underestimated themselves, underestimated Lingxi.
In this endless world, there were only demonic wills. There was nothing else.
"Right, weren't we in the deep pool? How did we appear here? And that black flame." Long Chen's heart was full of doubts.
"I'm guessing that perhaps this entire world of darkness is an illusion. It's a huge demonic will. If we want to leave this place, we have to let the clan elder pull you up, and we have to see what exactly the secret that Su Yuji mentioned is."
Different paths lead to the same destination.
Long Chen very carefully brought her around in this endless darkness.
Suddenly, a faint sound came from ahead. There was the sound of heavy breathing and the sound of feet moving forward in the water.
"There's someone." Long Chen whispered.
Presumably, it was someone like him, who was being punished in the Martial Devil Cave. Long Chen wanted to see what kind of state they were in.
Soon, a warrior appeared in his field of vision. His hair was disheveled, his eyes were blood-red, and his arms were wide open. He looked around like a wild beast.
"Kill … kill … kill."
"Go to hell … Qi 'er, I want to avenge you, I want to tear these people to pieces."
He roared and struggled, his bloodshot eyes filled with tears of blood.
Long Chen roughly knew that he might have been in this state before.
If not for Lingxi waking him up, or if it took him a long time to wake up, he would have been tortured to death.
Although they were separated by a long distance, the martialist seemed to have suddenly smelled Long Chen's scent.
"Thief, don't go. Give me back the lives of my wife and son."
The warrior let out a ferocious roar and without saying a word, charged towards Long Chen. His movements were barbaric but methodical. Moreover, this guy was very strong, almost at the level of the Ninth Nirvana Tribulation. He was probably similar to Blade River Demon and the others in the War God Galaxy.
Rip.
As soon as he made his move, he rushed in front of Long Chen.
"Not good." Long Chen understood that if he fought here, it was likely that the demonic will would find an opportunity.
"Let me."
In that instant, he made a prompt decision. His body transformed into a four-hundred-meter-long blood-colored divine dragon. His body tumbled backwards, allowing Ling Xi to sit on his dragon's head as she hugged his pair of dragon horns.
"Instant … Eternal."
"Heavenly Slaughtering Blood Sword."
Time stopped, letting the opponent stay in mid-air, while the Heavenly Slaughtering Blood Sword slapped horizontally on the opponent's body, sending the warrior flying. Long Chen took advantage of this time to speed up and escape with Lingxi. In this state, his speed was terrifyingly fast, and he quickly shook off the warrior. At this critical moment, a few demonic wills had already squeezed into Long Chen's body.
Long Chen transformed into human form.
"All of you, come out."
Lingxi's heart ached. When the power of the Su Nu attacked, a few mere demonic wills were quickly burned by her. But even so, the two of them were still somewhat frightened.
The other party was also suffering, and Long Chen did not have any intention of killing him.
However, fighting in this dark world was too dangerous. It was very likely that they would be controlled by the demonic wills again. After eradicating the demonic wills on their bodies, the two of them quickly left until the surroundings regained its peace.
Following that, Long Chen wandered around in this endless world. This was a world without direction, and there was no end. No matter where Long Chen walked, he would not return to his original place. But after a full two months, he did not see anything.
In these two months, other than encountering two other warriors who were imprisoned here, he did not discover anything else.
Everyone still did not give up. As they moved forward, they pondered.
"Su Zhen let me in, so there must be a special place. But where exactly is this special place?"
Long Chen pondered with cold eyes.
"He wants me to spend these fifty years. Could it be that I have to spend fifty years to find that secret?"
If that was the case, then this was really not good news.
For Long Chen, even a year could not be easily wasted.
"What on earth does he want? This big bad guy." Lingxi said sullenly.
After throwing Long Chen here, Lingxi completely hated the mysterious Su Zhen.
"Yes, what on earth does he want?" Long Chen realized that this was the key to solving the problem.
"As long as I know what he wants, it will be easy. This is the place where the Martial God cleansed all the demonic wills, and only the demonic wills are special. Could it be that he wants the demonic wills?"
But what did this have to do with him?
It was really puzzling.
The two of them moved forward again, thinking about it again. About two days later, Long Chen keenly discovered that there seemed to be something in the endless darkness ahead. He walked forward and found that it was a black stone tablet. On it were a few lines of words written with dried blood. These lines of words were not written by the same person. They were crooked, and it could be seen that the person who wrote the words must have been in great pain. It should also have been written by those who were thrown in when they were still conscious.
On it was written:
"The devil is born from the heart. Everyone is a devil."
"The true meaning of the Dao of Slaughter is to cherish every time you kill."
"Becoming a devil is not scary, because this may be the only way to become a god in the current world. And our Su Clan's ancestors did it tens of millions of years ago."
There was another sentence written at the bottom. That was: "If you have already gotten rid of the demonic wills, do not go forward, because there is an irreversible abyss ahead. It is the secret of the Martial Devil Cave."
To be honest, the first few strange words gave Long Chen a lot of enlightenment, especially the sentence "The devil is born from the heart. Everyone is a devil."
Later on, the stone tablet believed that the only way to become a god attracted Long Chen's attention.
"These are the words left behind by the ancestors of the Su Clan. And Su Zhen … became a devil, and then a god." Long Chen acutely realized that there was a connection.
"That guy is mysterious, but he is also pursuing the path to become a god. Could it be that he wants to become a devil? Then why didn't he come down himself? Why did he want me to come down?" This was Long Chen's new doubt.
These words were even more difficult to understand.
Only the last sentence was easy to understand. The irreversible abyss ahead was also the secret of the Martial Devil Cave. It was also Su Zhen's goal, and it was also Long Chen's goal.
"Should we go forward?"
Lingxi asked worriedly. She continued: "He is advising us not to go forward, saying that it is an irreversible abyss. If we go in, it is very likely that we will face great danger …"
Long Chen was also the first to struggle.
Moreover, in this place, only Lingxi could protect him. Once they went forward, Lingxi would also have to go. What if she was in danger?
But taking a step back, if they did not go forward, it was very likely that they would have to spend fifty years in this godforsaken place.
"Let's think about it carefully first." Long Chen decided.
He wandered around the stone tablet and carefully studied the words written on it. He wanted to see if there was any information that he could use. However, another five days passed, and he still did not find anything. If this continued, they would really have to spend fifty years here.
"Chen, I think it is better to go forward … Being fearless is your style." Lingxi said softly.
