Long Chen left alone, speeding forward at full speed toward the place he had marked earlier.
Long Chen noticed that the current Dragon Blood warriors had basically gathered together. Each team consisted of at least five strong squads together.
Each team had at least two legion commander-level experts, so self-preservation was already perfectly secure. Now Long Chen needed to catch up with the first team, because none of them were super strong.
Guo Ran's good luck also served as a reminder to Long Chen. His bad luck might overshadow others' fortunes. If Long Chen separates from them, their chances of finding treasures will actually increase.
Long Chen sped at full speed. After several days, he finally arrived at his destination. When he saw the scene before him, his heart skipped a beat.
This place actually looked like a spring with a radius of only a few thousand li, surrounded by two mountain ranges. From the void, it looked like an eye.
Above the spring, black and white mist swirled, resembling a giant Taiji diagram. The white mist was full of vitality, while the black mist carried the aura of death, blending together yet refusing to yield.
When Long Chen approached the spring, he found it also contained its own laws. It didn't look very large, but as he got closer, he realized the spring was boundless, seemingly encompassing the entire world. He wasn't sure if he had shrunk or enlarged the spring.
"There's actually a place in the world where the cycle of life and death is evolved. The secret of the Fountain of Life and Death hasn't been shared with me by the divine clan. It's truly infuriating."
Long Chen sensed the power of reincarnation within the Spring of Life and Death and was furious. The Long family hadn't told him, yet the disciples of the evil path and the Ancient Family Alliance already knew.
"Boss"
When Long Chen approached the Spring of Life and Death and found the Dragonblood Warriors who had reached the edge of the spring, they hurried forward upon seeing Long Chen.
"Did a battle just break out?" Long Chen looked at the Dragonblood warriors, covered in blood and still in a highly active aura, and couldn't help but ask.
"That was close! We just arrived and were attacked by evil sect disciples. They've already broken through to the fourth step of the Tongming Realm. If it weren't for Fairy Qin stepping in, we'd have suffered a huge loss." The Dragonblood Legion sergeant said with lingering fear.
"Ziyan?"
Long Chen sensed that some strange energy seemed to linger in the void, and it was indeed Ziyan's aura.
"Where is she?" Long Chen asked.
"After helping us deal with an ambush by a group of evil disciples, Fairy Qin hurriedly left, seemingly very anxious." The sergeant replied.
"Boss, looks like we're late. They've already arrived, and many people have left.
The evil sect left two thousand disciples to ambush us. They all broke through to the fourth step of the Tongming Realm and mastered the power of reincarnation. If it weren't for Fairy Qin intervening, we would have suffered heavy losses. Another sergeant said.
After entering the fourth step of the Tongming Realm, mastering the power of reincarnation, their combat power enters a state of endless vitality. Not only does their power undergo qualitative changes, but it seems their strength is never exhausted.
The Dragonblood Warriors were at the third step of the Tongming Realm and were at a great disadvantage against them. Caught off guard by the ambush of those evil path experts, they were killed off guard, losing over ten thousand disciples in an instant. It was simply terrifying, and even the Dragonblood Warriors felt a fear in their hearts.
"The evil path knows, the Ancient Family Alliance knows too, but the Sea Demon Clan doesn't know. What tricks is the Ye family really playing?"
Long Chen felt a heavy weight in his heart. He had killed the right-hand men of the Hexagonal Sea Serpent clan, yet he hadn't found a single trace of information about the Fountain of Life and Death from their souls.
The Sea Demon Clan only has the means to probe the locations of Tianwu Alliance disciples. Could it be that the Ye family is deliberately using the Sea Demon Clan to tie down Long Chen and buy them more time? One step behind, falling behind step by step?
"Ding ding... "
Not good, a team has been ambushed." An alarm sounded on the array disk, but shortly after it sounded, it went off.
"It was a small raid, not enough to shake the ranks. Seeing the situation was bad, they all fled." News came from the ambushed team.
"Tell all teams to stay alert, rush at full speed, and stop searching for any treasures." Long Chen gave the order directly.
He had been set up. The Dragonblood Legion was now in a very passive position, with a large number of powerful beings breaking through to the fourth step of the Nether Realm in the Fountain of Life and Death. They were now at an absolute disadvantage and couldn't afford to drag things out any longer.
Soon, the second team arrived. This group was led by Yue Zifeng and Gu Yang, who brought a group of powerful Xuan Beasts and four teams of disciples from the Tianwu Alliance.
Soon after, Meng Qi, Chu Yao, Tang Wan'er, Ye Zhiqiu, Dong Mingyu, Xiao Yun, Song Mingyuan, Li Qi, and others all arrived.
Seeing everyone safe and sound, they were all delighted. As they approached, they were ambushed by a small group of strong warriors.
They all came from the Ancient Family Alliance and the Evil Sect. They didn't have many fighters—just over two thousand per team—but all were fourth-step Tongming Realm experts, with terrifying destructive power.
Meng Qi and the others fought back with all their might, but they immediately fled. After killing some people, they immediately fled.
Meng Qi, Chu Yao, and the others weren't afraid of these guys, but ordinary warriors seemed powerless against these fourth-step Tongming Realm experts.
Mengqi and the others didn't dare to pursue them, fearing they might fall into a trap to lure the tiger away from the mountain, so they ignored it and continued forward.
But they ignored them. These guys always found ways to ambush in secret, killing some people in the chaos before fleeing immediately. Mengqi and the others were furious, but couldn't do anything to them.
With so many fourth-step Tongming Realm experts making their move, even Meng Qi, Chu Yao, and the others, surrounded by hundreds of people, were in a fluster.
After all, they were fourth-step Tongming Realm experts. Although only at the fourth step, they had mastered the power of life and death, able to circulate it to neutralize attacks. Hundreds of people attacked together, making the power terrifying.
Especially after their sneak attack, they immediately fled, which made Gu Yang so angry that he tried several times to chase after him, but was always pulled back by Yue Zifeng.
"These bastards are just too hateful." Tang Wan'er was so angry she gritted her teeth and stomped her foot.
Long Chen comforted everyone, saying, "We fell into someone else's trap. My method of breaking it down into smaller pieces was exploited by someone else."
They knew that after entering the Star Domain Divine Realm, our first priority was to gather, which would take a lot of time.
Then they deliberately staged attacks, forcing us to be even more cautious. The sea monster clan was even used as a pawn, putting tremendous pressure on us.
All of this was meant to hold us back and give them a favorable opportunity. They rushed here first and completed their advancement immediately, then we were suddenly put on the defensive. "
But since they've already advanced to the next level, why don't they just stay here and fight us to the death?" Mengqi asked in confusion.
You have to understand, the powerful warriors from the Evil Sect and the Ancient Family Alliance together number a full million, while the Tianwu Alliance plus the Xuan Beast Clan only has a total of 1.1 million, just 100,000 more than the other side.
One million Tongming Realm fourth-step experts were absolutely crushing one million one million Tongming Realm third-step experts.
"It's not that simple. The Divine Clan is using the evil path and the remoteThe Ancient Families Alliance, but they weren't fools either.
There was definitely more treasure land in the Divine Realm of the Star Domain; their main force had definitely gone to a second place. Long Chen analyzed.
"Damn it, so we're the last wave?" Gu Yang said angrily.
"We should be the second to last wave. There's still that bunch of idiots from the sea demon clan coming up. Alright, enough talk.
Time is precious. This is the Fountain of Life and Death. The White Domain represents the power of life, while the Black Domain represents the power of death.
Everyone had stepped into the third step of Tongming. To break through to the fourth step of the Tongming Realm, they first needed to balance the power of life and death.
Once the power of life and death is balanced, you can head to the core area of the Spring of Life and Death, where the power of life and death is densest. The overlapping of life and death is the best way to comprehend the cycle of reincarnation.
We've been left behind. Now everyone needs to hurry up and cultivate and enter the Spring of Life and Death. Long Chen said to everyone.
Everyone entered the Spring of Life and Death, all entering the realm of life power, because basically, what they lacked was life power.
The powerful members of the Xuan Beast clan also entered one after another. Xuan Beasts did not need to comprehend their realms, but the power of life and death was also key to their advancement. Although the realms were different, the power of life and death was interconnected.
"Aman, Brother Long is giving you something good."
Everyone entered the Life-and-Death Spring, except Aman, who didn't need to. He stayed by the shore to keep watch. Long Chen took out the corpses of three thirteenth-tier ferocious beasts, and Aman was thrilled, holding them and nibbling on them.
However, the body of a thirteenth-tier ferocious beast is so tough that even divine artifacts struggle to cut through, and may even be tougher than divine artifacts. Aman finds it especially difficult to bite.
However, Aman's teeth were even more powerful than divine artifacts, able to bite off the flesh and blood of fierce beasts by force, though it took a long time to chew them down.
"Delicious, really delicious, Brother Long, you're amazing." Aman was as excited as a child, hugging Long Chen and shouting.
In fact, Aman didn't understand what flavor was. What he called 'delicious' meant the stronger the flesh and blood, the better the flavor.
Seeing Aman gnaw on the flesh and blood of a thirteenth-tier ferocious beast, even Long Chen felt his scalp tingle. Aman was terrifying.
"As long as it's tasty, that's good. From now on, Brother Long will make you even more tasty things. Keep these things away and only take a portion as snacks. While eating, help us keep watch. If anyone disturbs us, you can beat them to death." Long Chen reminded him.
"Alright, you all go cultivate. Leave this to me." Aman patted his chest and said, but he was still holding flesh and blood, causing blood to splatter across his chest, making him look like a wild man.
Long Chen nodded, patted Aman's shoulder, and then plunged into the Spring of Life and Death, feeling the nearly endless power of life. He formed hand seals and began absorbing the life force.
"Boom boom boom... Long
Chen had just formed hand seals when suddenly a group of people sped over from afar. Divine lights pierced through the vast void, slashing toward Long Chen and the others.
"Courting death!"
Long Chen was furious. These people had deliberately come to cause trouble, preventing Long Chen and the others from cultivating in peace, with extremely malicious intent.
