"Nonsense... The
Thunder Falcon clan chief was furious. The leader of the Blue-Eyed Colorful Scale clan was malicious and intent on provoking conflict between the Lei Falcon clan and the Sacred Pill Hall.
"This matter has nothing to do with the Lei Falcon clan; it's just that the Lei Falcon clan was deceived by that Long Chen.
You can't blame the Lei Sun clan for this; even we were kept in the dark. If anyone is to blame, it can only be our Sacred Pill Hall for being careless. "What surprised people was that the master of the Saint Pill Hall actually spoke up, and he was protecting the Thunder Falcon clan.
All forces in the Tiandu Star Domain are under the control of the Sacred Pill Hall, especially the movements of the Thunder Falcon clan, Water Duck clan, Mammoth Divine Elephant, and other clans. They would never deliberately lure Long Chen into the Sacred Pill Hall.
Not to mention, it brings no benefit to the Thunder Falcon clan. For a beast clan to try to plot in front of the Sacred Pill Hall would be a huge joke. Therefore, the Hall Master directly rejected the Blue-Eyed Colorful Scale clan leader's attempt to divert trouble.
"Hall Master, you are wise. This matter truly has nothing to do with my Lei Sun clan. Yun'er is still young and has been influenced by Long Chen. I beg you, Hall Master, not to punish her." The clan leader of the Lei Sun clan said.
Now, this Third Master Long has been confirmed as the dean of the Seventh Branch of Lingxiao Academy. In other words, Long Chen is the mortal enemy of the Sacred Pill Hall. He doesn't want to offend the Sacred Pill Hall, because without the hall's pill support, the Thunder Falcon clan might be oppressed by other races.
"You need not worry, sir. The Trapping Heaven Grand Array has already been activated. He's just a turtle in a jar. Although inside the Divine Lord Immortal Realm, we can't do anything to him, once he leaves the realm, he won't be able to escape.
Besides, don't overestimate him. The reason he was able to defeat the prodigies of the Blue-Eyed Colorful Scale clan was because he was caught off guard—he succeeded by calculating intentionally but without intention.
Within the Divine Lord Immortal Realm, there are still so many prodigies waiting for him. Hmph, I want to see what kind of mystical tricks Lingxiao Academy is up to, choosing a disciple at the Four Extremes Realm to be the dean. The Hall Master of the Saint Pill Hall showed a dismissive smile; he didn't think a young man like Long Chen was qualified to be the dean.
It should be known that although Lingxiao Academy has declined, it is the oldest academy in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. The status of a branch dean is extremely lofty. Appointing a young person as dean is practically a joke.
He was even a bit excited. If he could capture Long Chen, it would be a remarkable achievement for him—it was truly a gift from heaven.
"That's right. Unless Long Chen meets our clan's Eighth Prince, he's doomed to die." A powerful member of the Mammoth Divine Elephant clan said proudly.
"I actually hope those two don't run into each other, because I want a living Long Chen. Unfortunately, everything in the Divine Lord Immortal Realm is independent, and we can't contact anyone inside. Now it depends on this kid's fate." The master of the Saint Pill Hall sighed.
In the past, their Sacred Pill Hall could have altered the laws of the Divine Lord Immortal Realm, but now that's no longer possible. The Divine Lord Immortal Realm now connects to the core of the Tiandu Star Domain, and they cannot interfere with the operation of the laws.
For a moment, the powerful figures of all races turned their eyes to the desolate world inside the light screen, where Lei Yun'er was leading Long Chen, speeding toward the core area.
...
"Rumble...
Endless thunder appeared ahead, with powerful beings undergoing tribulation. Thunder and rain poured down across the world, filling the heavens.
"These are the weaker people. They don't dare to rush into the core area, afraid of being crushed by others' heavenly tribulations, so they choose to undergo the tribulation here." Lei Yun'er spread her wings and passed through someone else's tribulation crossing area, explaining to Long Chen along the way.
Long Chen nodded. He understood Lei Yun'er's meaning. As he moved forward, the fluctuations of the Heavenly Dao grew stronger. Undergoing tribulation here would attract even stronger thunder power. Without great strength, facing tribulation here would be courting death.
As the two continued forward, more and more people were undergoing tribulations ahead. Lei Yun'er's voice grew somewhat grave as she said,
"Oh no, after all this time, no one has stopped us. They might have gone to the core area first."
"What's wrong?" If others go in, does that mean we can't get in? Long Chen asked.
"I'm not sure either, but I do know that wretched duck Wuying. She's full of bad intentions. They didn't send anyone to intercept us, so they must have other plans." Lei Yun'er said.
Lei Yun'er was extremely fast; the further she advanced, the stronger the fluctuations of the laws of the Heavenly Dao became. The runes of the Heavenly Dao could even be traced with the naked eye.
This place is rich in spiritual energy and the Heavenly Dao is complete. It's a sacred place for tribulations, and undertaking tribulations here brings tremendous benefits.
After half an incense stick's time, a huge ball of light appeared ahead. When Lei Yun'er saw it, she said angrily, "
These guys really did go in first."
As she spoke, Lei Yun'er had already flown to the front of the ball of light. It was a massive barrier spanning tens of thousands of miles. Inside the barrier, Long Chen saw some familiar figures such as Wuying and the Eighth Prince of the Mammoth Divine Elephant clan.
There were sixteen of them in total, sitting cross-legged within the barrier. Divine light swirled around them, as if receiving some kind of blessing.
"Boom!"
In Lei Yun'er's eyes, a divine light struck the barrier, producing a loud explosion. The barrier remained completely still, yet Lei Yun'er was sent flying backward.
It was a unique divine ability of the Thunder Falcon clan, possessing extremely powerful penetration and capable of breaking through various barriers. Yet this strike struck the barrier like an ant trying to shake a tree.
"Bastard!"
Lei Yun'er was furious, while Wuying and the others inside the barrier looked at Long Chen and Lei Yun'er, their faces showing victorious, mocking smiles.
"Idiot, don't you know? This barrier can hold up to sixteen people. Once enough people are needed, the barrier automatically activates its defense. Even Realm Kings won't be able to get in. Hahaha, you won't stand a chance. Wu Ying looked at the furious Lei Yun'er and laughed arrogantly.
"What a pity. We were planning to wait for you, but the barrier started activating, so we had no choice but to come in.
In that case, it's a pity. Once I advance to the Divine Lord realm and receive the blessing of the Heavenly Dao, killing you would be as dull as slaughtering a chicken. The Eighth Prince of the Mammoth Divine Elephant Clan looked at Long Chen and shook his head.
It seemed he truly felt some regret, yet also a form of boasting and mockery. His expression made Long Chen furious; he would never forget the scene of him killing the Nine Star successor.
Long Chen's eyes were filled with murderous intent. At that moment, a thunder orb appeared in Lei Yun'er's hand. She wanted to use the World-Destroying Thunderlight to try again, but Long Chen stopped her. Long Chen knew that with his and Lei Yun'er's strength, there was absolutely no way to break this barrier.
Long Chen opened his large hand, just about to take out his dagger, when suddenly a gentle voice echoed in his mind:
"Do you want to go in?"
"Who are you?" Long Chen was startled.
