Now, Long Chen took a deep breath and held the God Slaying Sword in his hand. He controlled the flow of his power to avoid a deeper level of exhaustion. He had regained the determination he had when he first came in. With a resolute will, he stepped into the heart of the Dead Souls Void Matrix without a word.
Since he could not avoid it, he had to accept the challenge.
Just like how he was fearless when he made the two bets with Ling Huang.
Just like how he broke into the Ten Thousand Layers Spiritual Matrix and defeated the Spirit Puppet God.
He had been so resolute in the face of so many unbearable hardships. He was not afraid to break into the Dead Souls Void Matrix this time. He had come to the Spirit House to accept challenges. The Ten Thousand Layers Spiritual Matrix had already forced him to kill a god with one sword. With such a good start, what was there for him to be afraid of?
He could only move forward.
The black chaos in front of him was like a terrifying mouth that swallowed him. The moment Long Chen stepped into this world, he felt as if he had entered a world of viscous liquid. It looked soft, but it had a nauseating pressure. The entire world was undergoing earth-shattering changes, and Long Chen himself discovered that in this world of darkness, his strength would definitely be greatly reduced. Even using the strength of his physical body was extremely difficult.
This was the heart of the Dead Souls Void Matrix, the heart of hundreds of millions of corpses. To have such a difficult binding power, it was like a swamp. It was almost ten times slower than Long Chen's Reverse Time Sea.
However, this was not the most frightening thing. The most frightening thing was naturally the exhaustion of energy. Indeed, it was just as Ling Xi had said. After entering this place, the rate at which the primordial Samsara energy was exhausted greatly increased. In a short period of time, it was several times faster than outside. And this was because of Long Chen's special physique. If it was anyone else, they would definitely be completely exhausted in a short period of time.
But even if it was Long Chen, under the effects of the 'Dark Swamp' and the 'Power Exhaustion', he definitely wouldn't be able to hold on for long. In such a troublesome situation, it would be even more difficult to break out of the Necromancy Void Formation. Even if he transformed into a dragon, it would be troublesome. After all, transforming into a dragon would consume a large amount of energy. It would only lead to his energy exhaustion prematurely.
As long as they lost, they would lose everything and even their children would be lost.
Although this was not his choice, since he had agreed to the bet, Long Chen would not give up. There were some things in life that he could not lose, such as now.
The surroundings were changing. It was as if all the caverns and soil were disappearing. At this moment, Long Chen seemed to have arrived in another world. He was surrounded by an endless dark swamp, making it difficult for him to move. Under his feet, there was a huge grey matrix that stretched for millions of miles. In this endless darkness, there were suddenly countless grey lights. These lights surrounded Long Chen. They were endless, like dim stars in the night sky. But when Long Chen looked carefully, he realized that these grey lights were actually the corpses that were originally buried in the soil of the Dead Souls Cave.
With Long Chen as the center, the hundreds of millions of corpses were now surrounding him. All the corpses seemed to be connected with each other, using dark grey lines to form a Dead Souls Void Matrix. In the middle of the Dead Souls Void Matrix, Long Chen seemed to be imprisoned in a world, making him look very small.
"Congratulations, you've seen the real Dead Souls Void Matrix."
At this moment, in the darkness, the grey little girl reappeared. Half of her body was hidden in the darkness, and although her appearance was no different from before, her eyes were cold and indifferent. There was a chill in them, as well as extreme excitement and madness. Her entire body was covered with countless tiny lines that were connected to the many corpses, which was the entire Dead Souls Void Matrix. The entire Dead Souls Void Matrix contained a terrifying power, and what surprised Long Chen was that this little girl, Shi Jiangling, seemed to be able to use this power.
The power of hundreds of millions of corpses.
Perhaps this was the source of Shi Jiangling's terror.
After coming here, Long Chen was indeed having a headache. He still did not have a way to break this Dead Souls Void Matrix, but the problem was that ever since he came here, not only was his body greatly restricted, his strength had also been greatly depleted. He did not have much time to think at all. To Shi Jiangling, as long as she talked to Long Chen, she would be able to exhaust Long Chen to death.
Therefore, to him, time was equivalent to life.
However, he knew that he could not be impatient. The more impatient he was, the more likely it was to be fatal. Calmness was always the key to victory.
"The Dead Souls Void Matrix is indeed terrifying. The remaining two trials must be even more terrifying. No wonder only a few people have been able to pass through this Spiritual Residence in the past million years."
Hundreds of millions of corpses formed the matrix, and now it was gradually draining Long Chen's strength. The more it drained, the stronger the Dead Souls Void Matrix became. This was not a solution at all.
Therefore, at this time, it was time to be decisive.
Long Chen did not speak to Shi Jiangling. He used the God Slaying Sword in his hand with great effort. The God Slaying Sword's control over its power was very precise, which allowed Long Chen to control his consumption. Now was the time when he could not consume too much.
Although the Dead Souls Void Matrix produced a dark swamp, Long Chen still relied on his boundless strength to perform the Massacre Sword Technique. In the blink of an eye, hundreds of sword lights flew out, shattering hundreds of corpses around Long Chen. This attack was indeed effective, but for hundreds of millions of corpses, hundreds of corpses were not affected at all. Moreover, Long Chen realized that after the corpses were shattered, they were actually recovering. Although the speed was not fast, they would definitely be completely recovered after two hours.
This meant that unless he could destroy all the corpses within two hours, it would be extremely difficult to destroy this place.
Moreover, when he used the God Slaying Sword this time, he released much more power than usual, as though it was being drawn out.
Of course, Lingxi's Immortal Lord Realm technique did not have a specific way to break the Dead Souls Void Matrix. This was the ultimate evil spiritual technique of the Spirit Tribe from a million years ago, and there were basically no records of it today. She could only rely on her own understanding of spirit designs to think of a way. The one outside was Long Chen, but she was even more nervous than Long Chen.
Only the kitten acted as if nothing had happened at this time.
In his words, he believed that Long Chen was fated to not die, so he could not be bothered to be nervous.
"Hehe, to tell you the truth, there is only one way to break the Dead Souls Void Matrix, and that is to shatter all the corpses within two hours and defeat me at the same time. Otherwise, the Dead Souls Void Matrix will not be broken until you exhaust your strength. Without this strength, no matter how many corpses you shatter, you will not be able to stop them from recovering."
While Long Chen was attacking, Shi Jiangling continued to fly by his side, speaking faintly.
Whether she was speaking the truth or not, she was exerting psychological pressure on Long Chen.
The dark swamp, the exhaustion of strength, and over 100 million corpses. Such an environment would not give one the slightest sense of security. Even if one had great strength, it would be greatly reduced. If one had been tricked into coming here and suddenly met with betrayal, one would definitely be even more terrified.
Although this third trial would cause one to exhaust their strength, but from start to finish, the most frightening attack was a psychological one.
The usually calm Long Chen could not help but feel anxious at this time.
He was now the third strongest in the world, but this Dead Souls Void Matrix was so frightening that even Yang You and Ling Huang might not be able to shatter the 100 million corpses within two hours.
Long Chen could only fight once.
Dragonification.
Dragonification would be the most powerful attack, but at the same time, it would also be the most exhausting. If he could not shatter all the corpses before his strength was completely exhausted, then it would be the time he would be completely defeated.
But the more he hesitated, the less time he had, and the more exhaustion he would have.
This time, Long Chen transformed into an Ancient Blood Spirit Dragon. He did not care about the huge consumption of strength, and summoned three million Blood Weeping Dragon Souls at once. Countless little slaughter dragons broke through the dark swamp with all their might, pouncing on the Sea of Consciousness. These little slaughter dragons were like a red ocean, dying almost half of the Dead Souls Void Matrix red.
Such a huge consumption of strength made Long Chen quite satisfied. The Blood Weeping Dragon Souls itself was a group attack, and its effect was very good. If the Dead Souls Void Matrix did not have the two terrifying powers of the dark swamp and the exhaustion of strength, Long Chen could easily destroy these corpses within two hours.
But now, the speed of the Blood Weeping Dragon Souls was greatly reduced in this swamp, and its attack and bite were not as strong as before. It would take a while for a little slaughter dragon to destroy a Sea of Consciousness.
More than a hundred million corpses, three million little dragons. At least, each little dragon would need to tear apart thirty corpses within two hours to succeed. According to the current speed, there was a fifty percent chance of success. But to make these little slaughter dragons appear continuously, it was also a huge consumption. Whether or not Long Chen could last for two hours, it was up to the heavens.
Now it all depended on luck.
His spirit was highly concentrated, and he did not waste any time. He ordered the little slaughter dragons to tear apart a corpse, and then immediately moved on to the next one.
Time passed quickly, and Long Chen's heart was also hanging by a thread. Right now, the whole world was black and red, and his strength was simply plummeting. Who knew if he could last until then?
"Chen, don't worry, there is still the Three Lives Love Thread, I can also help." Lingxi said.
"Wait a moment."
Now was not the time for exhaustion, so Long Chen was not in a hurry. He just felt that if he could break this Dead Souls Void Matrix so easily, would this be more difficult than the Spirit Puppet Servants? It should be known that other people who did not have the Ancestral Dragon's magical power would have a very high difficulty to pass the Spirit Puppet Servants.
This place must be even more dangerous.
