Chapter 539: Chapter 540 Thunderous Burst
“What dense Fire Element.”
Zhong Lin looked around warily, feeling as if a mysterious, unknown presence was watching him. However, the moment he relaxed slightly, he could sense nothing, and this feeling of being like a thorn in the back was uncomfortable.
As soon as he entered the Wuhuang Secret Realm, Zhong Lin felt the air instantly grow dense, as if he had entered a world of flames, with a raging, scorching, and restless power filling the air. If an ordinary person entered the Wuhuang Secret Realm, they wouldn’t survive; just a few breaths would turn them into a burning torch.
The Primordial Qi in the Wuhuang Secret Realm was heavy, vast, and filled with fiery energy, like a volcano about to erupt, condensed countless times more than the outside world. Ordinary Xuandan Realm Martial Artists would feel unbearably hot because they couldn’t control the Primordial Qi.
This was Zhong Lin’s first impression of the Wuhuang Secret Realm.
The second impression was vastness, immensity.
Mountains here soared hundreds of thousands of zhang, some even millions, stretching hundreds of thousands or millions of li.
Inside the mountains, a tree could easily reach a hundred zhang in height, requiring dozens of people to embrace it, and the fruits casually growing on these trees were larger than a person.
There were also butterflies flying in the air, human-sized, looking like demons, and giant flowers were everywhere.
“Could this really be a world created by an Emperor?” Zhong Lin murmured, disbelief written all over his face.
The entire world seemed endless; calling it a complete world was no exaggeration. Apart from the scorching Wind Flow in the air, roars occasionally emanated from the distant mountains, as if monsters were hiding and venting within the mountains.
Whoo, whoo!
The giant leaves rustled as a shrill cry transmitted from the massive canopy, and a dragon dozens of zhang long emerged, its fierce eyes immediately spotting Zhong Lin, and it opened its mouth to unleash a jet of flame.
“Are all the creatures in the Wuhuang Secret Realm this ferocious? This attack is equivalent to that of a Xuandan Realm Martial Artist, it seems that the Wuhuang Secret Realm is so vast, fostering equally ferocious life forms.”
Zhong Lin let the flame hit his body without causing any harm; with a gentle flick of his finger, a Sword Qi shot out, slicing the dragon into two, and blood stained the ground.
He glanced at the White Jade Token hanging at his waist, indicating his entry into the Wuhuang Secret Realm, something that needed to be protected at all costs.
If the Jade Token broke, participants in the Martial Arts tournament would be transmitted out of the Secret Realm, signifying failure.
The rule of this Martial Arts tournament was that there were no rules; any means could be used to “send” others out of the Secret Realm until the strongest emerged.
Carefully hiding the Jade Token, he stepped forward, instantly vanishing into the void. The Taiwei Cave Heaven Divine Eye opened, with flowing light in his eyes, taking in the topography and mountain river outlines of the Wuhuang Secret Realm.
The Wuhuang Secret Realm was filled with towering mountains, and a colossal blazing sun hung high in the sky, more like a giant fireball burning fiercely, resembling a great sun.
“So many mountains, such powerful beings, and… Martial Artists.”
Zhong Lin licked his lips, his eyes burning with intense battle intent.
This Martial Arts tournament was not only a moment for him to gain fame in the Eastern Desolate but also a chance to breakthrough into the Nirvana Realm.
“Go!”
He didn’t fly ostentatiously in the sky but moved like an ordinary Martial Artist, jumping and walking on the tall trees, though not hiding his presence.
Traveling along, observing the six directions, listening in all directions, the Wuhuang Secret Realm was vast and peculiar, with extremely dense Fire Element. In addition to the terrifying Demon Beasts thriving here, there were all kinds of flames, and even Fire Spirits would be born from the flames.
The so-called Fire Spirits were entities composed purely of fire, without physical form, yet their strength was not weak, at least at the Xuandan Realm cultivation level. Some powerful Fire Spirits even posed a threat to Zhong Ling.
After slaying some Fire Spirits, Zhong Lin was surprised to discover that these Fire Spirits resembled the Demon Beasts in the Five Elements Land. After killing them, he could extract Primordial Qi from them, refining Spiritual Origin, and improving his cultivation.
“True Yang Sacred Land is indeed lucky; even without ultimately obtaining the Emperor Wu Inheritance, just utilizing this Secret Realm to let disciples hunt Fire Spirits and improve cultivation is a huge gain,” Zhong Lin remarked.
“Whew!”
As Zhong Lin expressed his sentiments, the sky above rippled, and a Long Armed Ape Monkey leapt out of the mountain, swinging a giant pitch-black staff like a pillar toward Zhong Lin’s head.
“Roar!”
The Long Armed Ape Monkey, with its tusks protruding and eyes blood-red, wielded its staff like a heavenly pillar, sweeping away endless smoke and dust.
Rumble!
The massive staff quivered in mid-air, dispersing ten thousand li of smoke and clouds, with all Primordial Qi, light, and tangible and intangible matter within a thousand li wailing and roaring.
Exploding! Collapsing! Everything in sight shattered under the dominance of this powerful strike.
“How daring!”
Zhong Lin snorted coldly, his palm slowly extending, Qi-Blood radiance shaking the sky for ten thousand li, strands of golden light drifting around.
Finally, an indescribably vast power condensed into a gigantic palm, shaking the eight directions and six unions, grasping the oncoming Long Armed Ape Monkey with a thunderous grip.
Bang!
A dull collision sound echoed through the void for ten thousand li, without a trace of Primordial Qi explosion.
The Long Armed Ape Monkey’s full-power attack didn’t even budge Zhong Lin, and the monkey itself was like a puppet, held tightly in his palm, unable to move no matter how much it struggled.
“Die!”
Zhong Lin’s expression was indifferent, his palm exerting force, and a series of pitiful screams emitted from the monkey’s mouth.
“Show mercy!”
A shout reverberated, followed by a rugged young man approaching.
The young man’s eyes showed deep concern as he looked at the monkey in Zhong Lin’s grasp. Bowing, he repeatedly said, “Please show mercy, honored friend. I am Ye Liyang from the Ancient Spirit Sacred Land, and this Long Armed Ape Monkey is my pet. Due to my negligence, it attacked you, and I implore your forgiveness.”
“Negligence?”
Zhong Lin squinted slightly, glancing at the Ancient Spirit Sacred Land disciple who called himself Ye Liyang.
With one hand behind his back, the hand holding the Long Armed Ape Monkey trembled gently.
“Ah!”
Amidst the Long Armed Ape Monkey’s cries of despair, the hand ignored all its resistance and crushed it, ultimately grinding its body to dust.
The soul was scattered.
“No need for discipline then.”
Retracting his hand, Zhong Lin calmly looked at Ye Liyang, his expression tranquil and detached: “Am I right?”
Whoosh, whoosh…
The world abruptly fell silent.
