Although the Dead Spirit Race had been imprisoned here for nearly a million years, and many people had entered the Spirit Palace during this period of time, there were only a few who had managed to break through the Ten Thousand Layers Spiritual Formation and the Divine Puppets to reach the Dead Spirit Cave. However, there were some who had the ability to break through the Dead Spirit Cave and reach the deepest part.
"Ten? Am I the tenth?"
Long Chen frowned and looked at the little girl with fear. He found that this little girl was the core of this group of Dead Spirit Race. When she showed her original appearance, Long Chen felt a terrifying feeling from her.
The little girl's grey eyes became indifferent, but there was a faint smile on her face as she said, "That's right, Ling Huang killed almost all of my ancestors and arranged the Dead Spirit Void Formation here. At the same time, he sealed all of my remaining clansmen here, never to leave. Later, about hundreds of thousands of years ago, the punishment was reduced. As long as our Dead Spirit Race can stop ten experts who have reached this place, then our Dead Spirit Race can leave this place and regain our freedom. This is the agreement between us and Ling Huang."
Her voice was a lot more mature at this time. She no longer sounded like an innocent child. Her every move was strange, and the dangerous feeling from her body had become more and more intense.
Long Chen didn't expect that the story of the Dead Spirit Race was actually true. When he found out that the Dead Spirit Race was indeed strange, he had already denied everything that they had said before.
"We knew that the number 'ten' didn't seem big at that time. But today, we know how difficult it is. There are very few people who can reach the Dead Spirit Cave. Only one appears in tens of thousands of years. Many of our clansmen have never seen a single expert who has reached this place in their entire lives. Moreover, some of the experts who can reach this place are very powerful. If we can stop them here, or even kill them, it will be very difficult. So you should understand how precious your arrival is to us today … Of course, it's not us, it's me …"
Long Chen was silent for a moment, carefully thinking about the other party's words. The last sentence was very interesting. She didn't say 'us', but 'herself'.
Long Chen narrowed his eyes and asked again, "In fact, it doesn't need to be so troublesome. You can help me leave, and I will take you and your clansmen away from here. Don't tell me you're afraid of Ling Huang."
They had chosen to follow Ling Huang's decision, and not to let him take them away. There must be a reason for them to be so determined.
The little girl chuckled and said, "Our ancestors were indeed naive. They chose to go out with the experts who broke in. But after so many years, only three people have been able to break into the Spirit House. In other words, it is basically impossible to break into the Spirit House. In the end, not only will we be thrown back by Ling Huang, we will also be severely punished, and our clansmen will almost be exterminated. Therefore, our ancestors have taught us that if we want to be free, the only way is to follow the agreement with Ling Huang. Therefore, I am your enemy, and I will not help you. Moreover, I can't help you."
What she said was not unreasonable. The Spirit House was very difficult, and not many people could break through it. Moreover, even if he took her out, he wouldn't be able to protect the Dead Spirit Clan for the rest of his life. He might even offend Ling Huang. One day, they would still be brought back by Ling Huang. Therefore, it was not realistic to take them out of this place.
Of course, Long Chen was an exception.
He knew that the real disaster was coming, so he wanted to fight a little bit more. Therefore, he said, "Maybe you don't know, but I came to the Spirit House to make a bet with Ling Huang. If I can break through the Spirit House, I will have another bet with him, and that is a battle between the two of us. According to the bet, the loser will give the winner the most important thing. If Ling Huang loses, he will lose the Spirit King's inheritance. Therefore, there was only a conflict between me and him before. If I win, you guys can go out without any worries."
Hearing this, the little girl looked at Long Chen with an incredulous look and said, "You're really brave, but don't try to convince me. I'm not stupid. You're so young, so it's impossible for you to defeat Ling Huang. I only believe in myself. As long as I can stop you, I can get out of here. Why should I take the risk with you?"
At this time, the little girl smiled at Long Chen and said, "In my life, I have seen two warriors who broke through. The other one was your father. He was really powerful. He easily broke through this place, and I couldn't do anything to him. It was said that he defeated Ling Huang and became the strongest warrior in the world. Are you trying to imitate your father? When I was born, I was told that as long as I could stop one more person, the Dead Spirit Clan would be free. His arrival gave me the greatest hope, but because he was too strong, I was disappointed. Now, you are my greatest hope. After all, our Dead Spirit Clan can't wait any longer."
Speaking of this, her eyes glistened with tears.
"All of my clansmen are waiting for freedom with me. Unfortunately, we're too weak, and we don't have a long life in this place. Therefore, they've all died. Today, I'm the only one left in the entire Dead Spirit Clan … What you see is just an illusion of the Dead Spirits Virtual Formation. You don't know how terrible this formation, which was created by killing hundreds of millions of the Dead Spirit Clan, is, but you'll know soon …"
Hearing this, Long Chen looked back and saw that the old men who had brought him here had turned into nothingness and disappeared completely. The entire Dead Spirit Cave had become empty, except for Long Chen and the little girl.
"This Dead Spirits Virtual Formation can deceive my eyes and thoughts. It's really terrible. After all, it was created by so many corpses and resentment. It's a terrible formation that has gathered the resentment of hundreds of millions of the Dead Spirit Clan. It seems that the third tribulation is indeed much more terrible than the second one …"
Long Chen made a rough calculation in his mind.
He stepped back a little, away from the little girl. At this time, he realized that this little girl was connected to the entire Dead Spirits Virtual Formation. In other words, she herself was a part of this formation. All the strength she had just shown was, in fact, an illusion created by the Dead Spirits Virtual Formation.
The Dead Spirits Virtual Formation used these illusions to deceive them, deceiving them into coming here. As long as they stepped into the chaos in front of them, they would be at the mercy of the Dead Spirits Virtual Formation.
The little girl stared at Long Chen with her big eyes and said in a cold voice, "Let me introduce myself again. I am the last living member of the Dead Spirit Clan. My name is Shi Jiangling. I am the one who stopped your path forward, and even allowed you to be killed. Of the previous nine warriors that we stopped, six of them were killed by us." Speaking up to here, the corners of her mouth curved into a strange smile.
She chuckled and said, "However, you are the first person to see through our lies and the Dead Spirits Virtual Formation. You were able to see through us before you even reached the 'core' of the Dead Spirits Virtual Formation. Therefore, our deceit and confusion from before were completely useless. That could be counted as a small trap of the Dead Spirits Virtual Formation. However, don't be too proud of yourself. If you want to leave this place, there are only two ways. The first is to admit defeat, and Ling Huang will take you away. This way, I will be able to stop you. The second is to break into the core of the formation and defeat me and the Dead Spirits Virtual Formation. Only then will you be able to leave this place. Only when the Dead Spirits Virtual Formation collapses will there be a path to the depths of this place. Whether you saw through our lies or not, the only thing that will prevent you from panicking from being betrayed is that you won't be able to change the result unless you are willing to admit defeat at this time.
In that case, I will be waiting for you inside. "Perhaps she was afraid that Long Chen would attack her at this time. Halfway through her speech, she moved at an extremely fast speed and instantly entered the depths of the so-called core of the formation, causing Long Chen to be unable to find her figure. The surroundings became incomparably quiet, only the Dead Spirits Virtual Formation was still operating, causing the strength of Long Chen's body to gradually weaken.
"Chen, do you still want to believe this fellow? Perhaps she was just lying to you. If you want to break through this place, you don't necessarily need to pass through the core of the formation. This is the most central location of the entire Dead Spirits Virtual Formation. If you enter, I'm afraid that the rate of exhaustion will increase by several times, or even ten times. If that's the case, even you won't be able to stay for long.
After all, it's obvious that you can enter the core of the formation, but you won't be able to come out of it. "Lingxi studied formations, so she was even more aware of how frightening the Dead Spirits Virtual Formation was. After all, it contained too many things. Hundreds of millions of corpses of the deceased races, that was quite frightening. It was like Long Chen was fighting against the resentment of hundreds of millions of people.
Long Chen said, "This time, it's true. This is the so-called test of the Spirit Zun Residence. Ling Huang naturally placed the exit in the most difficult place. This isn't like the other secret realms, where there are no shortcuts. Ling Huang is completing the bet with me, so how could he give me a shortcut? This Shi Jiangling is right, I discovered the truth before I entered. The only thing I can do is to not panic when I'm suddenly betrayed."
Long Chen's words were very clear, and Lingxi knew that it was indeed the case. Although she was worried, she was still willing to believe in Long Chen, even if at this time, everyone in the world was deeply worried.
The Lost Spirit Formation.
This was the enmity between Long Chen and the Spirit Sovereign. The Spirit Sovereign had planted such a seed in Long Chen's heart. Although Long Chen wouldn't act up now, there would come a day when he would make him pay the price. He had come here today for the sake of Lingxi, for the sake of his child, for the sake of this new family, and also for himself.
Lingxi understood him, understood him, and loved him even more.
"Boss, I have a question that I don't understand."
Kitten suddenly said.
"What is it?"
Long Chen asked.
He chuckled and said, "She's the only one left in the Dead Spirits Clan, so what's the use of her going out? Won't the Dead Spirits Clan still go extinct? Don't tell me she can give birth by herself?"
