Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

Chu Yuan seemed to understand something. No wonder Yan Xuan and the others spent so much time setting up the blood sacrifice array.

It's probably not because of the difficulty or the limitations of the materials, but because this formation produces strange phenomena when it's set up!

That makes sense; if the setup of a formation takes years, it will be utterly useless...

Tian Tian watched with a pounding heart. As the formation was drawn, the blood mist grew thicker and thicker! An unsettling aura permeated the air... Was this the formation Chu Yuan had mentioned that could protect them?

Although she didn't know much about formations, she couldn't tell from any angle that this formation was anything good.

Tian Tian felt a wave of dizziness and quickly looked away from the array patterns;

"Chu Yuan, this thing... why does it feel a little familiar?" Yang Yi, who had been struggling with this for a while, finally spoke up.

The swirling mist of blood stirred up some very unpleasant memories for him...

"It might be your imagination," Chu Yuan replied casually, his hands still moving.

Soon, his actions were noticed by more people;

A high-born Inner Breath Realm trial participant's face darkened: "Chu Yuan! What are you doing?!"

"Set up an array? Are you blind? Can't you even see that?" Xiang Ning, who had already returned, retorted without any politeness.

Actually, he had some doubts in his heart; the formation that Chu Yuan was about to set up was indeed sinister.

But there was no better way at the moment, so he could only trust Chu Yuan.

Furthermore, after learning that Chu Yuan had effortlessly killed Qi Ying and Li Ji, he became even more certain that his previous guess was correct;

That means... Chu Yuan is the person chosen by the important figure who initiated this trial! The Martial God Scroll was prepared for him!

Under these circumstances, he didn't think Chu Yuan would do anything to ruin his future...

"Nonsense! I'm asking what kind of formation he set up!"

"None of your business!"

"...Xiang Ning, do you have some kind of leverage over Chu Yuan? Why are you always speaking up for him?"

Xiang Ning rolled her eyes: "Nonsense..."

"This formation...it looks a bit like that blood sacrifice formation!?" Someone pondered for a long time before finally speaking with surprise and uncertainty, even taking the initiative to move away a bit;

One stone stirs up a thousand waves, and the stone platform boils over once again.

"Holy crap! I've seen the video of the Blood Sacrifice Array, it really does look a bit like it..."

"I think he's gone mad! He knows he can't escape the Zhenwu Bureau's judgment, so he wants to drag us down with him!"

"He could even be a spy from another race! Otherwise, how could he be so strong?!"

"Hurry up!"

Only the ordinary trial participants did not understand what the Blood Sacrifice Array was, but judging from its name and the way those geniuses avoided it like the plague, they knew it was not a good thing.

So they also stepped aside...

Chu Yuan was somewhat surprised, not expecting that someone could recognize the predecessor of the Blood Sea Soul Locking Array;

Even more unexpectedly, these arrogant geniuses, despite guessing that he might have set up a blood sacrifice formation, have not yet made a move against him.

All his preparations to establish his authority at any moment were in vain...

It seems that the deaths of Qi Ying and Li Ji had a significant impact on these people.

But this is also a good thing...

"Dude, these idiots are going too far. I'll go and give them a piece of my mind." Feeling the increasingly oppressive atmosphere around him, Mao Rui started rambling incoherently and shifted his feet.

Chu Yuan ignored him, but Xiang Ning grabbed his arm and shook her head slightly.

"Fatty..."

With no way out, their efforts to collect materials for Chu Yuan were observed by many.

Even if Chu Yuan really went mad and did something outrageous, it's too late for them to get off the bus now...

Mao Rui remained silent for a moment, his face showing a mixture of sorrow and tears.

This damn secret realm trial, why are there so many strange things going on?

I wish I hadn't come...

......

The Blood Sea Soul Locking Array set up by Chu Yuan had array patterns that covered more than half of the stone platform.

Its power's range is even larger than the entire stone platform!

After mentally assessing its power, I figured it should be more than enough to deal with a martial artist at the fifth level!

As for martial artists at the sixth realm, he had never seen one in action, so he couldn't estimate their strength at this moment.

The sixth realm of martial arts is called the Nirvana Realm. Martial artists there have incredibly powerful physical bodies and abundant life force!

Limb regeneration is a minor issue; even if your head is severed, you won't die as long as it's reattached within a certain timeframe...

In the early to mid-stages of the martial arts revival, this realm was even more known as the King Realm!

As the name suggests, they are qualified to be granted land and be kings!

Although the materials used in this formation are certainly not as good as those used by Yan Xuan and his team in Chenyang City, the range of the formation's influence is different.

That time, the formation covered the entire Chenyang City, so its power was somewhat dispersed.

This time, however, it only covered half of the stone platform, greatly reducing the radiation range and thus concentrating the power more effectively...

Chu Yuan sat in the center of the formation and began to circulate the Gengjin Yuandao Technique again.

Now... all that's left is to wait!

......

"That Chu Yuan is utterly reckless! If Xiang Ning and Mao Rui hadn't been there for him, I would have made him pay dearly for what I'm capable of!"

At the foot of the mountain, an Inner Breath Realm trial participant said angrily.

Others knew he was bragging, but they didn't call him out on it;

"It's alright. The more fun he had in the secret realm, the uglier his death will be once he gets out!"

"Sigh, I wonder when this secret realm trial will end... I'm really getting annoyed."

"Didn't Xiang Ning say that there are protectors in the secret realm?"

Why hasn't it appeared yet?

Do they think we haven't died enough?

"Or, let those Qi and Blood Realm trash go..."

"Shh~ Don't talk! Did you hear that?"

What was that sound?

Some people are very quick to act; they step onto the big tree, jump up a bit higher, and look into the distance.

Then one could see the mountains and forests destroyed, and dust billowing everywhere!

A crimson ocean is surging in, its target... the stone platform where the secret passage is located!

Before he could see anything clearly, he exhausted his strength and fell to the ground, involuntarily stumbling back a few steps!

"What's wrong? What did you see?"

The man's lips trembled, his eyes filled with terror: "Run...run! Blood beasts! So many blood beasts!"

The others were taken aback and were about to ask more questions;

Then three blood-red blades emerged from the dense forest, carving out a huge trench in their path, and came crashing down!

The group each made their own moves and barely managed to block the attack, immediately feeling a surge of energy within their bodies;

Just as they turned to flee, a blood beast nearly ten meters long suddenly leaped out and landed behind them, crouching down with bloodthirsty eyes!
