Chapter 857: Chapter 857: The Enormous Terrifying Creature

Lin Chen found a spatial vortex about seven to eight hundred li to the east, which led into this place.

Knowing the location of departure, Lin Chen silently memorized it before he confidently set out to explore this secret realm.

According to the thousands of years of understanding that the Divine Flame Alliance had about this secret realm, it was an exceedingly dangerous place.

This ruin had appeared for several thousand years, and every three hundred years, the secret realm would open once. Counting the times, the six forces of the Divine Flame Alliance had entered more than ten times, yet, to this day, they still had not fully explored this secret realm.

The secret realm was vast, and there were very powerful creatures inside.

Lin Chen, acting on instinct, decided not to fly.

Having entered and exited many secret realms and ruins, Lin Chen had developed this awareness.

Once one flew into the sky, their figure would be exposed, which was akin to making oneself a live target in front of those powerful unknown creatures.

Lin Chen chose a direction and started walking slowly.

Lin Chen’s pupil power could detect movements within a thousand li radius, which allowed him to avoid some disturbances in advance.

However, this pupil power could not be constantly activated, as it consumed Divine Soul Power.

If Lin Chen had not cultivated his Three Purities Soul Drawing Technique to Great Success, his current Divine Soul Power probably would not have been enough to sustain the use of this pupil power.

About ten li along the direction Lin Chen had chosen, he suddenly heard a sharp cry.

Looking up, Lin Chen couldn’t help but swallow his saliva.

For he saw a giant strange bird in the distant sky, now flying above, heading in Lin Chen’s direction.

That bird was colossal.

Even from a great distance, Lin Chen felt that the sky darkened due to the presence of the giant bird.

Roughly estimating, the bird was at least close to ten li in length, making it the largest creature Lin Chen had ever seen.

Such a powerful creature could easily tear apart even a Martial Artist in the Nirvana Realm.

Even within the Demon Race, Lin Chen had never seen such a creature.

Lin Chen’s breathing became rapid, but fearing that his movements would attract the bird’s attention, he began to breathe carefully.

However, in the next instant, Lin Chen’s breath stopped abruptly, and he stared dumbfounded at the sky.

For he saw a gigantic palm stretch out from the mountains below the giant bird, piercing through the bird’s body, grabbing it, and then dragging it down from the sky.

Following that, loud chewing sounds came from the mountains, as if some giant monster was munching on something.

Lin Chen felt his scalp tingle all over, almost unable to comprehend the scene before his eyes.

His breathing became hasty, and his heartbeat sped up, as he quickly turned and fled in the opposite direction.

It was a joke to continue forward; he might very well run into the giant monster in the mountains head-on.

However, after changing his direction and not walking for long, Lin Chen encountered a disciple from Bodhi Hall, whose cultivation was at the Half-step Nirvana Realm, yet was boldly flying in the sky.

Seeing this, Lin Chen frowned, thinking of the fate of the Martial Artist from Bodhi Hall after the incident with the giant bird.

Whoosh—

Suddenly, a blood-red snake tongue shot out from the mountains below the flying disciple of Bodhi Hall, directly reaching into the sky without deviation, wrapped around the Martial Artist, and pulled him into the mountain, devouring him.

Lin Chen heaved a sigh of relief, thankful for his foresight not to fly.

Others from various forces who had witnessed the scene of the Martial Artist being swallowed by the giant python, and disciples who were flying in the sky at that moment, were terrified and hastily descended.

After witnessing two terrifying scenes of slaughter, Lin Chen began to understand the level of danger in the secret realm.

This was a place where one could lose their life at any moment.

A single misstep could lead to an unexpected death.

Lin Chen finally realized why this ruin had not been fully explored for so many years.

It was a joke to attempt to explore such a terrifying secret realm. It’s already fortunate enough not to be discovered by those giant creatures.

"Heh, kid, you’re scared stiff just by this much. You’re such a coward," the Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit said to Lin Chen in his Soul Sea, knowing what Lin Chen had encountered and observing his careful demeanor, unable to refrain from taunting him.

"Damn it, you just know how to make snide remarks and boast. If you’re so capable, come out and show me how you’d wander in this space," Lin Chen retorted angrily to the Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit.

Silenced by the retort, the Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit fell quiet.

If it were in its heyday, these powerful creatures would have been nothing in its presence.

However, now it had only regained a portion of its power, and if it truly clashed with the giant creatures of this place, it would inevitably deplete a tremendous amount of energy.

So, the Dragon Fang Instrument Spirit shut up, daring not to taunt Lin Chen anymore.

Lin Chen cautiously continued to explore this secret realm. Along the way, he encountered many spiritual medicines—Fourth Grade Spiritual Medicine was everywhere, Fifth Grade Spiritual Medicine was not rare, and sometimes, he could even see Sixth Grade Spiritual Medicine.

Any spiritual medicine Lin Chen encountered, he did not miss, collecting them all into the space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron.

The space within the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron seemed limitless, and now it even had a Second Layer Space repaired.

However, Lin Chen noticed something: when he cultivated in the Second Layer Space of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron, using the power of time that passed there seemed to consume the cauldron’s energy.

Some time ago, Lin Chen was cultivating inside, and he clearly felt that the reddish yellow flame at the center of the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron had weakened.

Afterward, Lin Chen used a lot of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, allowing the Primordial Myriad Transformation Cauldron to absorb them and recover some of its strength.
