At this time, under Ling Huang's shocked and puzzled gaze, Long Chen transformed into a divine dragon and used the Divine Dao Heart Refining Dragon's Sword of Judgment to tear through the countless seals. Then, he transformed into a Primordial Blood Spiritual Dragon and appeared in front of the nine Spirit Puppet Servants. His current physique was at the same level as the Spirit Puppet Servants.
"… How, how is this possible?"
Ling Huang took a deep breath and looked at Long Chen in a daze. In his understanding, this kind of thing was impossible. Ling Huang was someone who was more confident than Long Chen. He had always believed that everything was under his control, but Long Chen frequently did things that exceeded his expectations.
For example, the crazy second bet.
For example, breaking through the Ten Thousand Layers Spirit Array.
For example, this time.
Long Chen couldn't be bothered to pay attention to him. Now was not the time to fight with him. Now, he had to focus on dealing with the Spirit Puppet Servants. It wasn't easy to break out of their encirclement, so it was time to counterattack.
When it came to ruthlessness, he was never worse than anyone else.
Before the Spirit Puppet Divine Servant could launch another attack, Long Chen let out a soft shout and activated his newly comprehended Chaotic Sea of Time.
"The power of time."
Ling Huang was stunned. He found that even he was within the range of the Chaotic Sea of Time, which forced him to retreat a distance.
"It's actually like the Sea of Time. The time in the domain controlled is different. Some are fast, some are slow, and it greatly affects the opponent's performance. It's indeed a terrifying magical ability. It's a big problem."
Ling Huang looked at Long Chen in shock. He didn't expect Long Chen to have such talent and comprehend such a magical ability.
"However, it's basically ineffective against the Spirit Puppet Servants who use the power of rules."
Ling Huang rejoiced. After all, according to common sense, it should be like this.
However, what he saw was that the nine Soul Puppets seemed to have sunk into a swamp in the Chaotic Time Reverse. Their movements were sometimes fast and sometimes slow. They wanted to attack, but Long Chen easily dodged them with his control. In his domain, Long Chen was like a king.
The time had come.
The Ten Thousand Layers Spiritual Array had taken Long Chen a few days. This time, he had to finish this battle as soon as possible.
Thus, he used the Chaotic Time Reversal to prevent the nine spirit puppets from using their nomological powers. Then, he rushed into the sky.
"Death Realm Dragon Gate."
Previously, the Death Realm Dragon Sect did not manage to kill their opponents.
However, it was different this time. Long Chen's most brutal and murderous intent coincided with the will of the Death Realm Dragon Sect. Therefore, the Death Realm Dragon Sect was especially terrifying this time.
The Primordial Blood Spiritual Dragon's head and tail were connected. The center was covered with blood-colored dragon patterns, forming a huge door. The moment the Death Realm Dragon Sect opened, the terrifying death aura of the Death Realm surged out like a broken dam, drowning the nine Soul Puppets. Even Ling Huang was affected by this murderous intent. He also thoroughly felt the power of this magical ability.
"What kind of magical ability is this? It can actually suppress the power of rules."
This was simply inconceivable to him.
The dense death aura was Long Chen's true feelings. Although he was dealing with the Soul Puppets, his murderous intent was all on Ling Huang. Every time he attacked, it was an attack on Ling Huang's will.
Rumble, rumble, rumble.
After the endless death aura drowned the entire world, the nine Soul Puppets in the Sea of Chaotic Time still couldn't control their own speed due to the change in speed, but they still rushed towards Long Chen. They had no intelligence, only orders and killing.
At this moment, the huge Death Realm Dragon Claw appeared.
Ling Huang slightly suffocated.
What he saw was a giant creature descending from the sky, like the hand of the heavens, its movements swift and violent. Long Chen stared at the first Spirit Puppet Divine Servant. The Spirit Puppet Divine Servant was originally charging at Long Chen, but Long Chen instantly increased its speed by ten times, causing the Spirit Puppet Divine Servant to crash into the Death World Dragon's claw.
Rip.
The Death Realm Dragon Claw opened its claws and pressed it down. It angrily exerted force and tore the Soul Puppet apart, turning it into runes that filled the sky. It was like the power of rules, but in front of the Ancestral Dragon's magical ability, it was nothing.
With the first time, there would be a second time.
The power of the Death Realm Dragon Gate was endless. Jiu Ling Huang could only watch as Long Chen tore the puppets apart one by one. His eyes were wide open. Of course, these puppets were not truly dead. After being torn apart, they would recover within ten years. Basically, it was impossible for anyone to break into the Spiritual Zun Residence again within ten years.
What shocked Ling Huang was Long Chen's ability to resist the power of rules.
"The strength is ordinary, but it seems to be able to restrain the Soul Puppet. It seems that this is a victory of nature. This time, he got lucky and easily passed this round."
Ling Huang could clearly see that Long Chen was almost exhausted after breaking through the Ten Thousand Layers Spiritual Array for the first time. Logically speaking, he would not be able to pass the second round at all. After all, the lethality of the Soul Puppet was not ordinary. It was just that this time, Long Chen was lucky and his power just happened to restrain the Soul Puppet.
Since the first Soul Puppet was torn apart, the others could not escape. Long Chen had the flame of life, so their power of rules could not harm him at all. If it was someone else, it would be difficult for them to recover after being injured by the power of rules, let alone recover completely.
The last one was the Soul Puppet of Light.
Long Chen did not tear him apart. Instead, he made an attempt. The Death Realm Dragon Claw grabbed him and quickly retracted it, pulling the Soul Puppet into the Death Realm.
This would be a true death.
He could see that the other Soul Puppets could be reborn, but the one brought back by the Death Realm Dragon Gate probably would not. Even if he did not die, there was no way for him to return to this world.
This detail was naturally noticed by Ling Huang. However, he had absolute confidence in the Soul Puppet's rebirth, so he did not think too much about it. He was still shocked by Long Chen's reversal of the situation.
But the fact was that he had passed this hurdle.
Long Chen dispelled the Death Realm Dragon Gate and transformed into his human form. In the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Ling Huang. He looked at him and said, "Can you stop being an eyesore? Be a good boy and stay in the depths. I'll go find you."
Hearing this, Ling Huang smiled coldly and said, "You are indeed young and ignorant. You have only passed the easiest tribulation of the Spirit Zun Residence, and your tone has become a lot more arrogant. If you have the opportunity to see me in the innermost depths of the Spirit Zun Residence, would I need to come out here?"
Long Chen was neither servile nor overbearing. He said, "Before the results are known, it's best not to come to a conclusion. Since I'm here today, I won't stop until I defeat you. Go back and wait obediently."
"Yes, you are extremely daring. You even dare to take out the inheritance essence blood as a gamble. It is normal for you to be a little arrogant. Young people should be like you, full of fighting spirit. But the tribulations of reality can always make young people bow their heads in dejection. I hope that in a few days, you can still stand and talk to me like this, instead of kneeling and begging me to forgive you."
Long Chen smiled and said, "Just wait and see."
Of course, he knew that the road ahead was dangerous, but he also knew that he would have to fight against Ling Huang in the end. Therefore, he could not lose to him in terms of momentum.
His calmness and decisiveness did make Ling Huang feel a deep sense of fear. Of course, it was only because of his personality. In terms of strength, Ling Huang was still very confident.
"Let me give you one last piece of advice. The puppets are only the gatekeepers of the Spirit Zun Residence. You have only just entered the depths of the Spirit Zun Residence, so it is best not to be happy too early. The real show is about to begin. I can also reveal that there are three more tribulations before you can reach the depths. Of these three tribulations, the first one is enough to take your life. That place has the highest death rate. Remember, it is the death rate, not the chance of getting injured."
At this point, Ling Huang had a faint smile on his face as he disappeared from the Spirit Zun Residence.
Long Chen only listened to these threatening words and did not take them to heart. He knew that Ling Huang was creating psychological pressure for him. After passing through the Ten Thousand Layers Spiritual Array and the puppets, he had actually passed through two of the five tribulations. It could be said that he had completed a small part of the first bet. Although the next three would be even more difficult, how could he lose the slightest bit of confidence?
He came here today to win those two bets and then teach Ling Huang a lesson.
If he did not suppress this guy, how could he focus on dealing with Mo Xing in the future?
No matter what, Ling Huang was still the world's number one. This time, Long Chen came here for the title of number one.
Just like his father, he defeated Ling Huang and his reputation reached the peak. It did not take long for him to become the Eternal Dragon Emperor.
"Let's go."
His will was firm. After saying this to Lingxi and the others, he walked forward. There was indeed a colorful array in front of him. It was the door to the next tribulation.
This battle was not just for himself. It was also for Lingxi, who had been struck by the Spirit Array Lost, and for their child. Now that his family was gradually becoming complete, as a parent and a husband, he had to bear this responsibility and fight for the sake of love.
At this moment, Long Chen had inner strength that Ling Huang could not imagine. Although Ling Huang had also been a father, he did not have the feelings that Long Chen had. Therefore, the two were destined to be different.
Long Chen did not hesitate and directly stepped onto the array.
His surroundings flickered, and he soon arrived at a new place.
He stepped on the slightly damp ground. What came from the dark side was the smell of death, decay, and corpses. This smell was quite strong, almost nauseating. There was no doubt that this was a world full of death.
Long Chen looked up. This was actually a huge cave. It was completely black, without any light. The surroundings were very dead. Water droplets constantly dripped from the top of the cave, making a beeping sound, which seemed a little strange.
The cave was very deep.
"It should be through this cave."
