"No, damn it!"

"Ah, they actually shattered the portal."

"They didn't even give us a chance. Brothers, we can't let them have it easy either. Immediately spread the news of this secret realm's emergence throughout Yunzhou."

Someone proposed.

They were no match for Chen Yuan and Xuan Ming, but there were others who could deal with them.

If they couldn't have it easy, they naturally wouldn't let Chen Yuan and Xuan Ming have it easy either, by bringing in other strong individuals to block this place, and even reopen the secret realm.

Shen Yanshu frowned slightly upon hearing these remarks, wanting to attack the person who spoke earlier.

She was stopped by Yu Qingyan with a look, who transmitted her voice:

"With so many people here, can you kill them all?"

"Senior Sister Yu."

"Alright, quickly return and report the news of this secret realm's opening to the sect elders."

"Yes."

And the previous person's proposal also garnered much support, with many echoing in agreement.

Chen Yuan had already anticipated the reaction of those who remained behind roaring, but what did it have to do with him?

For his own safety, he had to do this!

Everyone knew that the secret realm opened for the first time contained treasures, so once such news spread, not only Core Realm Grandmasters, but even Transformation Yang True Persons would be tempted.

Therefore, it was necessary to delay this time.

Otherwise, how could he have the chance to obtain opportunities?

Although his current strength was not bad, capable of dealing with Grandmasters who had just entered the Core Realm, if a Solid Core level or even Heaven Core level Grandmaster came, he would be outmatched.

He had to prioritize his own safety.

Similarly, Xuan Ming seemed to have the same intention.

He also had a hand in attacking the secret realm's portal earlier.

But the scene after entering the secret realm surprised Chen Yuan. The scene inside was not the secret realm he had imagined, but a desolate wasteland!

Even the world's spiritual energy was very thin, far different from the scene he had seen in the Yuan Kong Realm before.

That was a secret realm, but now it was more like an abandoned land.

Looking at the endless desolation, Chen Yuan took a deep breath and began to patrol in the air, opening his Heaven's Eye to find his opportunity.

As for Xuan Ming, he disappeared somewhere in the secret realm after entering it and unleashing that attack.

But Xuan Ming was not important at all. If the other party appeared before him, then he would kill him. If the other party was not there, there was no need to deliberately look for him.

His idea was to move forward courageously, and all opponents standing in his way must be slaughtered.

This was his Dao.

Especially in the Heavenly Palace level of cultivation, he could never retreat.

Otherwise, once dust was left in his mind, it would take a long time to clear it.

On the other side.

Xuan Ming opened his eyes and looked around, frowning slightly. Obviously, the situation in this secret realm also exceeded some of his expectations.

He did not expect this place to be so different from other secret realms.

Such a place with thin spiritual energy was not even as good as the outside world. What spiritual objects could it nurture?

It was basically the lowest-level secret realm.

But...

Since he had already come, he always had to search it once. Besides, he had seen secret realms with thin spiritual energy before, so it was not surprising. The important thing now was to see if he could find what the high monk said.

Whether it existed in this secret realm.

As for Chen Yuan, Xuan Ming's gaze sank slightly when he thought of this person.

He could feel the fierce aura emanating from Chen Yuan, his body was filled with too much killing karma. If he was not suppressed as soon as possible, he would definitely become another demon in the future.

Moreover, he was sharp-tongued and full of sophistry.

And he was disrespectful to Buddhism, even somewhat disgusted with it. He would definitely become a threat to Buddhism in the future.

Silently reciting 'Amitabha', Xuan Ming looked at the Buddhist treasure in his hand and headed in one direction.

This Buddhist treasure could sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy. Even if the spiritual energy within the secret realm was thin, there was always a place where it was concentrated. Generally, this place was where the most precious treasure in a secret realm existed.

......

......

A residual image flashed across the void, and Chen Yuan stopped.

This secret realm was much smaller than the previous Yuan Kong Realm. At his speed, he had traveled through most of the secret realm in just a moment.

Most of the scene was still emptiness.

But at the same time, he also discovered some anomalies. For example, the further he went, the more he could feel the spiritual energy gradually filling up, and the further he went, the more he could sense a bloody aura.

And the place where he stopped was a small hill.

In his perception, this place was where the world's spiritual energy was the most concentrated within the entire secret realm.

Tomb!

This was Chen Yuan's first impression.

It also made him completely understand, because in the rumors, this secret realm was most likely the inheritance place left by that Transformation Yang True Person more than a hundred years ago.

At the same time, it was also the final resting place of this True Person.

From the information Ye Chenbai gave him before, he knew that the True Person was a rogue cultivator who had also created a force, but it had been completely destroyed.

And the reason for his fall was to avenge his sect.

Although he finally succeeded in taking revenge, he also had to sit in Mengze Mountain due to his serious injuries.

Chen Yuan stood in the void, his eyes narrowed, and he said in a low voice:

"Senior, I apologize!"

Then, in the next moment, a soaring dragon roar came out, and a huge saber light directly slashed at the small hill below him, and a 'rumbling' sound rang out.

A huge crack was cut out there by Chen Yuan.

He didn't know any tomb raiding methods. Since he couldn't find the tomb passage, it was better to break through with force than to delay time.

Looking at the place he had cut open, Chen Yuan's Gang energy burst out of his body, wrapping it.

Then, he plunged headfirst into the pit below.

Inside the hill was a huge cave. The ground was engraved with faint array patterns. Touching it with his hand, Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed. This array seemed to be a large-sized Gathering Yuan Array.

Could it be...

Was this the reason why the spiritual energy in this secret realm was so thin?

Looking around indifferently, Chen Yuan continued forward calmly. Because a huge crack had been cut open by him,

The inside of the cave was not dark, but very bright.

After walking for about a hundred breaths, Chen Yuan stopped.

What appeared in front of him was a huge altar. The altar had nine levels of steps, all made of bluestone, with simple and mysterious array patterns engraved on them.

On the altar was a very thin pool of spiritual liquid, and a lotus flower emitting a mysterious light was blooming.

The surrounding world's spiritual energy was all gathering towards this spiritual pool.

"This is..."

Chen Yuan frowned, feeling that this divine lotus was a bit familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

However, the blue light blooming in his eyes proved that this was his opportunity.

"Xuan Ming, aren't you going to show yourself yet?"

Chen Yuan didn't move, but said this calmly.

The surroundings were silent. Chen Yuan frowned and said:

"Does Chen have to invite you to show yourself?"

"Amitabha."

A faint Buddhist chant sounded. Xuan Ming, a monk in a plain white robe, slowly walked out from the cave wall behind Chen Yuan, staring at Chen Yuan and saying:

"I didn't expect Chen benefactor to have Tong technique as well."

Chen Yuan did not answer. As early as when he stepped into this cave, he felt a faint dangerous aura lingering around. His perception has always been very keen.

And that aura was even stronger in this cave.

Needless to say, Xuan Ming must be here!

Seeing that Chen Yuan did not reply, Xuan Ming smiled faintly, not taking it to heart, staring at the lotus swaying on the altar and saying:

"I didn't expect the spiritual energy in this secret realm to be so thin because it was nourishing a Transformation God Lotus."

"Transformation God Lotus!"

Hearing Xuan Ming's muttering to himself, Chen Yuan's eyes lit up instantly, and he finally remembered what this thing was. When he was cultivating in Qingzhou City before.

He had read some strange stories about spiritual objects.

In his opinion, the things pointed out by the Destiny Altar were mostly spiritual objects. It wouldn't hurt to understand them in detail.

The Transformation God Lotus he mentioned was one of them.

The biggest function of this thing was to nourish the soul and enhance the 'god', which was a rare spiritual object in the martial world, and it had great use for Transformation Yang experts.

And it could also have some effect on Core Formation.

This thing was a must-have!

Xuan Ming turned his gaze and looked at Chen Yuan, saying:

"Chen benefactor, this thing is destined to be mine, I hope benefactor can give it up willingly."

"Chen sees that you are confused by cultivating Buddhism. Since ancient times, treasures have belonged to those who are virtuous. Coincidentally, Chen's surname is Chen, his given name is Yuan, and his style name is Youde. If anyone should give up,

it should be you. If you don't want to give up, then you and I should have a contest!"

Chen Yuan's expression sank slightly, and a trace of killing intent burst out in his eyes.

Monks were indeed annoying.

"So be it."

Xuan Ming's eyes turned cold. In the next moment, he took a step, and a terrifying fist force was unleashed.

Chen Yuan moved accordingly.

The two fists collided, making a muffled sound.

The surrounding caves trembled a bit, and gravel fell.

However, both of them were consciously away from the Transformation God Lotus, and came to fight in the void.

The saber light crossed the sky, and the dragon roared.

Because the spiritual energy was thin, the commotion when the two of them fought was reduced a lot.

Xuan Ming tore off a string of Buddhist beads from his neck and threw it violently.

Eighteen Buddhist beads were shot out and bombarded towards Chen Yuan.

One punch, two punches, three punches...

Every fist force bombarded the Buddhist beads.

Xuan Ming held a bowl in one hand and put his hands together in the other, chanting Buddhist sounds.

"Om, Mani, Padme, Hum."

A bell-like sound came from his mouth, as if the Buddha was murmuring.

Golden light shone brightly in the void, and the eighteen Buddhist beads actually condensed into a phantom of an Arhat nearly ten feet in size in the void. The Arhat's face was unclear,

but his appearance was solemn, like the one enshrined in the temple.

The phantom stood in the void, in the same posture as Xuan Ming.

"Chen benefactor, Heaven has the virtue of loving life. If you are willing to retreat at this time, this monk can stop."

Chen Yuan grinned and said:

"As the saying goes, help people to the end and send Buddha to the west. Today, Chen will send you on your way."

Immediately afterwards, a powerful evil aura condensed around Chen Yuan. He held the Emperor Slaughtering Saber and slashed it violently.

'Avici Killing Dao!'

This saber technique, which Chen Yuan had been practicing all along, was truly unleashed until he met the Emperor Slaughtering Saber. The saber intent and the Emperor Slaughtering Saber's ferocity were very compatible.

It could exert one hundred and twenty percent of its power.

A saber light the size of dozens of meters lay across the void and slashed down violently.

Xuan Ming's face was solemn, and he raised his palm. The Arhat phantom behind him also raised his palm and suppressed it violently.

"Boom!"

The saber light slashed on the Arhat phantom.

Breaking inch by inch...

Whether it was the saber light or the phantom, they were all breaking inch by inch. The faces of both sides flushed red at the same time. Then, the Buddha shadow re-condensed, and the saber light slashed out again!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Powerful forces continued to collide in the secret realm. The ground cracked, and the void shook. The two occupied one side of the world each, one side with bright golden light and the other with evil aura.

The battle between Buddha and demon.

Clearly defined.

This battle brought Chen Yuan no less pressure than when he faced that Grandmaster before. No wonder the people at Dengxian Tower would judge that Chen Yuan was more suitable for the fourth place on the Hidden Dragon List.

There was indeed some truth to it.

Xuan Ming, who was reincarnated as an Arhat, indeed had some skills.

There were people beyond people, and heavens beyond heavens.

Looking at the leopard through a tube, both Wei Wuyai and Zuo Chengzong were definitely strong enemies to him now.

However, this was even better. Only a hearty battle could truly stimulate potential and condense martial arts spirit.

Compared to Chen Yuan's soaring fighting spirit, Xuan Ming was a little surprised.

He originally thought that he was stronger than Chen Yuan, after all, his physical body was stronger and his cultivation was higher, while Chen Yuan was still only in the late stage of Tongxuan and had not reached his peak yet.

But the real fight was not like this. The opponent's strength was not weaker than him in a head-on collision.

And his fighting spirit was even stronger!

Divine weapons and Buddhist treasures, phantoms and saber lights, physical collisions...

In just a short moment, the fight between the two sides intensified to the extreme. The two sides exchanged dozens of blows every breath, like thunder rumbling.

And as the fight continued, Chen Yuan's strength was slowly improving.

From being slightly inferior at the beginning to now gaining a slight advantage.

Don't underestimate this small trace, it meant that the balance of victory was tilting towards Chen Yuan's side, which meant that Chen Yuan was stronger in life and death battles.

Xuan Ming's face gradually became gloomy, and he was no longer as calm as before.

"Boom!"

With another head-on collision, a trace of red overflowed from the corner of Xuan Ming's mouth. He was blasted back hundreds of meters, and the white monk's robe on his body was dyed red with blood.

Of course, Chen Yuan was not feeling well either.

Although no blood overflowed, the Qi and blood in his body were rolling and churning, as if they had been stirred up.

His left shoulder was a bit sunken, which was the injury caused by a fist force from Xuan Ming.

"Chen benefactor has good skills. No wonder he can reverse-kill Grandmasters. This monk admires him."

Putting aside everything else, Xuan Ming was indeed a little admired of Chen Yuan in terms of strength alone.

Because the opponent had fought him to a draw, and even gained a slight advantage, in a situation where his physical body and cultivation were inferior to him. If the opponent also reached the peak of Tongxuan,

I'm afraid he would lose today.

"It's useless to say more, use all the remaining means, otherwise...there will be no chance." Chen Yuan said in a deep voice.

"Alright, then this monk will use one strike to determine the victory with you."

"No, it is to determine life and death. Today, you and I will not only decide the winner, but also life and death!"

The Emperor Slaughtering Saber hovered in the void. Yes, Chen Yuan was going to use his real trump card.

"Amitabha, benefactor's killing karma is too heavy. Today, this monk will suppress you. You must know that Buddhism not only has the compassion of Bodhisattvas, but also the wrath of Vajras!"

With a wave of his hand, Xuan Ming's eighteen Buddhist beads shattered at the same time.

The debris floated in the void, and drops of golden blood essence merged with it. A monstrous Buddha palm was condensed in the void, like a real Buddha descending.

"Mahavairocana!"

A magnificent Buddhist sound resounded.

"Dragon Transformation."

At this moment, Chen Yuan no longer concealed it. The dragon soul within the Emperor Slaughtering Saber roared out, hovering over Chen Yuan's head. Streams of Qi and blood poured into the dragon soul's body, making it solid.

Blood Bodhi was put into his mouth, Chen Yuan's eyes were full of madness.

"Kill!"

"Suppress!"

The two of them shouted in unison. The dragon roared, and the Buddha's light illuminated the world.

The light illuminated a radius of thousands of meters, covering both Chen Yuan and Xuan Ming.

A violent roar exploded, and a pit dozens of feet long was blasted out on the ground.

At the center of the two's fight, the void was pierced through, and ripples continued...

......

......

Chen Yuan supported himself with the saber, panting heavily. The aura on his body was a little wilted, but fortunately, he still had some strength left, and his Qi and blood had not been drained. These were all thanks to Jiang He's guidance.

Under the guidance of high-level architecture, Jiang He could see his shortcomings at a glance and point out his weaknesses and omissions. Otherwise, Chen Yuan would probably still stand for a long time like last time before he could move a little.

At this moment.

Only Chen Yuan was left standing, Xuan Ming had already fallen from the void, and his life and death were unknown.

The Buddha's palm was directly shattered by the dragon soul.

"Since I said I would send you to the Western Paradise, I will send you to the Western Paradise. Chen never tells lies." Chen Yuan looked down at the lifeless, charred body on the ground and said.

"Buzz buzz buzz..."

Suddenly, at the moment Chen Yuan spoke.

The golden bowl next to Xuan Ming suddenly burst into Buddha's light, covering him.

Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately grasped the Sword Talisman, preparing to give the opponent a fatal blow.

He would not give the other party time to recover, otherwise, in his current state, he would definitely lose.

Before Chen Yuan could act, a illusory old monk condensed from Xuan Ming's body and put his hands together to Chen Yuan, saying:

"Thank you, Chen benefactor, for your help."

"Master is Xuan Ming's previous life?"

Thinking of the rumors, Chen Yuan couldn't help but frown.

"Reincarnation...hehe, you can say that, but this monk is about to completely merge with him now. From now on, I am him, and he is me. Otherwise, Xuan Ming would not be able to unite his soul and form a core. It has to be said that I still have to thank Chen benefactor.

It seems...the opportunity that the high monk said should be this battle."

Chen Yuan narrowed his eyes and didn't say much.

The white-robed old monk glanced at Xuan Ming's charred body on the ground and said with a smile:

"Chen benefactor, we will meet again in the Immortal Ascension War. At that time...Xuan Ming will compete with you again."

After saying that, he glanced meaningfully at the small hill not far away, seemingly seeing the swaying Divine Lotus. Then, the old monk merged with the golden bowl and blasted a passage through the void of this secret realm.

He wrapped Xuan Ming's body and disappeared into the distance.

Only Chen Yuan was left standing in place.

He didn't stop him, firstly because he couldn't figure out the other party's background, and secondly because he didn't have much strength left now, except for the Sword Talisman, it seemed...

There were no other means.

Moreover, Xuan Ming was actually considered to have fallen this time...
