Chapter 2660: Chapter 2680: The Rise of the Illusory Serpent Sect Again?

Lin Chen raised his hand, and the huge battle axe swung to the side as he kicked out into the air.

"Bang!"

The barbarian warrior’s body flew backward like a cannonball, and at the same time, the Eight-Armed Arhat swung a giant hammer, smashing it into the warrior’s body.

Originally kicked by Lin Chen, the barbarian warrior was midair, unable to brace himself, his defense broken; struck by the Eight-Armed Arhat, his entire body was instantly pulverized by the magnificent force.

His battle axe spun through the air, flying dozens of miles before landing atop a hill, flattening it completely.

Lin Chen beckoned, and the badge made of special metal flew out, landing in his hand.

Lin Chen cut off the supply of spiritual power to the Array Formation, stopping the Battle Projection.

Seeing this, the other barbarian warrior blocked by the Eight-Armed Arhat turned pale.

This guy’s strength is that of a lower-grade Great Luo Immortal, right? How is he so ferocious?

He’s fighting by himself against two of us at the Carp Dragon Realm like it’s a game?

Is fighting across realms supposed to be this easy?

Seeing his companion dead, he knew that if he delayed any longer, he too would meet the same fate. In fright, he tore off his badge and flung it outward. The badge immediately turned into a streak of radiance, shooting off into the distance.

Lin Chen stepped out, instantly disappearing, then reappeared near the badge’s trajectory, reaching out midair.

The badge came to a halt in midair, then flew back and fell into Lin Chen’s hands.

Lin Chen still chose to turn off the Array Formation first, then turned and headed towards the barbarian warrior who had conjured a Defense Treasure and was stubbornly resisting to buy time.

...

Above the plains, hundreds of huge projections appeared in the sky, each one corresponding to a contestant who had activated their badge’s Projection Formation.

Two projections were turned off in quick succession, the final image being Lin Chen’s calm eyes looking down at his badge.

Many sects and countless disciples on the plains were watching because most contestants would choose to avoid contact and battle, opting to meet up with their teams first, so there were almost no battles occurring.

Lin Chen’s battle with the two barbarians became the first wave of battles and thus attracted everyone’s attention.

Watching Lin Chen cut off the Projection Formation, everyone was disappointed but also buzzing with discussion.

"An Innate Phenomenon, is this kid actually an Innate Dao Body?"

"Phenomena possess the strength to fight across realms, but him fighting two at the Carp Dragon Realm by himself, and defeating them, that’s just too exaggerated!"

"This kid is really strong, he actually caught the battle axe with his bare hands, unharmed, despite being weaker in strength and realm. How did he do that?"

"Which sect is he from? I was too busy watching their battle and forgot to check his clothes. Does anyone remember?"

"He’s from the Illusory Serpent Sect, that kid is from the Illusory Serpent Sect!"

Everyone’s gaze swiftly turned to look at the Illusory Serpent Sect’s camp.

As one of the Southern Wilderness’s oldest Xianmen, the Illusory Serpent Sect was well-known to all. Everyone also knew of the sect’s decline. Suddenly seeing an Innate Dao Body, people’s gazes inevitably changed.

Could it be that the Illusory Serpent Sect was on the rise again?

Jin Daoyuan said loudly, "Qi Gongji, you sure know how to hide. You’ve quietly taken in an Innate Dao Body, preparing for a big move, aren’t you?"

Qi Gongji himself had seen the battlefield’s images and felt a slight stir in his emotions.

That kid is ruthless, decisive, and strong enough. Sadly, he is a disciple of Myriad Immortal Hall, not from his Illusory Serpent Sect.

If he truly were a disciple of the Illusory Serpent Sect, plus Saint Child Lü Wenjing, perhaps the Illusory Serpent Sect really could rise again.

Inside, Qi Gongji felt regret, but outwardly he remained composed, "My disciple joined our sect to learn our exclusive art, the Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art. His eager struggle for the badges is to earn enough merits to qualify to learn the Illusion Divine Technique."

Jin Daoyuan sneered, "The Sand Dragon Illusory Divine Art is indeed powerful, but it’s not something just anyone can learn. Among your entire Illusory Serpent Sect, only you and the Saint Child have managed it, right?"

Qi Gongji replied evenly, "Even if it’s just one person, that’s fine. After all, not everyone can learn a truly good Cultivation Technique."

Another said, "Why isn’t your disciple keeping the Projection Formation active?"

Qi Gongji responded, "That’s his freedom."

The person pursed their lips, saying nothing further. Who would want to be watched, revealing all their trump cards? Those who are willing to activate the Projection Formation are forthright in their Cultivation Techniques or Magical Treasures, relying on strength to battle, without much mystery. So even if you see it, it doesn’t matter; you’ll still get beaten just the same.

Out of five hundred contestants, less than two hundred projections hovered in the sky, meaning most had chosen to conceal themselves or, rather, hide their various trump cards.

Qi Gongji diverted his attention to another projection, which prominently displayed Saint Child Lü Wenjing.

He was rapidly flying towards the Meeting Point without any attempt to conceal himself.

Qi Gongji’s eyes narrowed slightly, Wenjing, you’d better perform well. Don’t get outshone by an outsider!
