Chapter 688: Chapter 306: Third Level (Please Subscribe)_3

Even after the exhaustion of his power, it would take a long time to fully recover.

Chu Xisheng glanced again at the others on the floating altar and noticed that their bodies had undergone significant transformations, albeit to varying degrees.

The situation wasn’t much better for those from the Formless Divine Sect either, as three of them had also experienced physical distortions.

It was Chu Ming and his two Daoist attendants.

Behind Chu Ming, a pair of ugly bat wings had appeared, and his face was covered with a red scarf, no longer showing his true appearance.

Chu Xisheng inwardly cautioned himself, thinking that these people were truly insane.

The third level of the Secret Realm indeed had many valuable things, including secret medicines not found outside, and a duration of five months.

But was it necessary for them to pay such a heavy price to absorb the power from the bodies of the Giant Spirits?

Chu Xisheng soon realized.

It was still for the bounty of ‘Rebirth Heaven,’ probably also due to the pressure he himself had brought upon these people.

Chu Xisheng’s expression remained unchanged as he shook his head slightly, his tone mocking, “Tsk tsk! You all look like ghosts. Is it really worth it doing this?”

The Xuee couple, Ancient Sword, Guo Nu, and others on the altar all showed a sarcastic expression.

The rest remained silent.

This matter was indeed embarrassing and there wasn’t much to be said.

Yet one young man, his skin dark as charcoal and his face masked like an evil spirit, stared coldly at Chu Xisheng, “Worth it? When we behead you, you will know if it was worth it.”

Chu Xisheng glanced at the man, then raised his eyebrows slightly, “You are from the Sixth Desire Realm, Wisdom Demon Mountain?”

He was taken aback.

This person named Wisdom Demon Mountain was a disciple of the Sixth Desire Realm, only second in strength to Xuan Wushang.

Although his original appearance was not handsome, it was decent.

But now, Wisdom Demon Mountain looked like a reincarnated Yaksha, his face hideously ugly.

Chu Xisheng immediately formed a War Seal and initiated a challenge to Wisdom Demon Mountain.

It had been two months since he had last initiated a Divine Grace Arena Battle.

Simply because no one accepted his challenges, and the Divine Grace of his opponents was hardly worth diminishing anymore, making it pointless.

However, today Chu Xisheng felt interested in battling someone again.

Wisdom Demon Mountain’s aura faltered, then he sat down in his spot, remaining silent.

The power of the Giant Spirit he had absorbed originated from a Night Evil Giant Spirit of the First-tier.

Yet, Wisdom Demon Mountain still wasn’t confident that he could kill Chu Xisheng in a one-on-one fight.

This guy’s strength was unfathomably deep! They still couldn’t fathom his true capabilities.

Seeing Wisdom Demon Mountain refuse, Chu Xisheng smiled dominantly and turned his gaze to Jian Shifei, “I heard that the Three-eyed Giant Spirit is the strongest among the six Super First Grade Giant Spirits in this Secret Realm. I wonder how much might your sword has gained from the power left by this Giant Spirit? Honestly, you’ve made me interested again, how about a fight?”

As he spoke, he also issued a challenge to Jian Shifei,

Jian Shifei sat crossed-legged on the ground, refusing while his expression remained cold and indifferent, “You’ll see.”

Chu Xisheng mocked the group for a while, then found it pointless.

They were like clay sculptures or wooden puppets, silent and not daring to accept his challenges, utterly dull.

He then chose a floating altar, the White Tiger Wings behind him unfurled as he flew towards the altar.

As he approached the altar, Chu Xisheng felt a strong resistance impeding his progress.

However, when Chu Xisheng opened his eyes wide and exerted a little effort, the layer of resistance was shattered.

Chu Xisheng was thus able to land on this altar, which was twenty zhang in diameter.

The method to enter the third level of the Secret Realm was different from the first two levels.

The Secret Realm Master, Zhu Guangyin, had set up a checkpoint here.

All those attempting to enter the third layer had to defeat a descendant of the bloodline ‘Candle Dragon’ created by Giant Spirit Candle Yin.

These Candle Dragons’ cultivation ranged between Fifth and Fourth Grade, typically one to three ranks higher than the challenger.

How that turned out depended on one’s luck.

If someone was unlucky and encountered a being three ranks higher, they would have little hope of advancing to the third level of the Secret Realm.

Candle Dragon belonged to sub-Divine Beast, with a talent rating at the Super Genius level among the Human Clan.

These creatures were nourished by Divine Blood within the Secret Realm, their claws and fangs exceedingly sharp, utterly fearless of the human-crafted blades and Magic Artifacts.

So this checkpoint was very difficult.

It was said that every person who entered the third level of the Secret Realm took away a portion of the Primordial Qi of the Secret Realm Master.

That’s why Zhu Guangyin used this method to exclude most people.

Of course, these Candle Dragons couldn’t be stronger than those previous three Candle Dragons; their highest cultivation was merely Fourth Grade Lower, and they didn’t possess ‘Time Trace,’ otherwise, no one would stand a chance.

Bai Xiaozhao closely followed Chu Xisheng on her flight upward.

She wanted to be with Chu Xisheng.

However, once Chu Xisheng entered the altar, no matter how hard Bai Xiaozhao exerted herself, she couldn’t tear through the thin barrier in front of her.

Bai Xiaozhao eventually grunted discontentedly and turned to fly towards another floating altar nearby.

This side was much easier, with a slight exertion, a tricolor glow emerged from her right claw, piercing through the restricted area of the altar.

—That was her condensed ‘Formless Divine Blade.’

With the help of Little Flat Head, Chu Xisheng also helped her condense this Killing Power.

However, it was a reduced and weakened version, the power not even a third of the full version.

It wasn’t that Chu Xisheng didn’t want to help her, but Bai Xiaozhao didn’t have the talent to control the elements of Wind’s ‘Formless’, Cloud’s ‘Impermanence’, and Thunder’s ‘Creation.’
