When Long Chen crossed the barrier, he was slightly taken aback and said to Yu Qingxuan, "
This pressure is somewhat similar to the Vermilion Bird pressure in the Vermilion Bird World. Could it be that the divine beast worshipped by the Vermilion Bird Empire was once an immortal powerhouse?"
"I'm not sure about that. The secrets of the Vermilion Bird Empire have always been passed down orally through the throne.
However, this pressure did resemble it somewhat, except that the Vermilion Bird's pressure was sacred, while its pressure was violent and filled with endless resentment, making people uncomfortable. Yu Qingxuan said.
"Of course. The Vermilion Bird has been enshrined, but this Winged Demon is nailed here. The treatment is completely different. Of course he's upset!" Long Chen said with a smile.
Long Chen and Yu Qingxuan had experienced this kind of pressure before in the Vermilion Bird World, but that violent suppression of willpower felt nothing to him.
The two chatted and laughed as they entered the fortress. The Dragonblood warriors only paused briefly inside the barrier but did not feel much discomfort, following Long Chen forward.
At that moment, the faces of the Moonwatching Clan disciples changed. Although Long Chen and the others were all his own people, there was no such thing as jealousy.
But they got stuck here, while the others easily got through—what a slap in the face!
More than half of the Moonwatching Clan disciples were blocked outside the barrier. Long Chen and the others gave them tremendous motivation, and they all rushed in desperately.
In fact, the reason they were stuck wasn't because the physical pressure was strong, but because the soul pressure had an overwhelming impact on their will.
Although the Moon Viewing Clan disciples have dealt with dark monsters for years, everything is under control and the risk level is not high. Therefore, their combat experience is only decent, but their willpower is much weaker.
However, with the pressure of the Primordial Winged Demon here, it was just right to temper their willpower. After all, many outstanding prodigies were already less than ten thousand li away from the Primordial Winged Demon. They were people who cared about their dignity and wanted to charge forward. At the very least, they couldn't bring shame to the Moonwatching Clan.
Soon, after several attempts, the Moonwatching Clan disciples finally broke through the barrier and entered the area.
But once inside, they didn't feel comfortable either. The oppressive force here made them terrified—a fear deep within their souls, hard to resist.
Only those truly tempered by blood and fire can truly face death, but they were clearly a step behind. Although they entered, they could only stay on the outskirts.
By now, Long Chen and the others had already walked far away. The outstanding disciples of the Moonwatching Clan followed closely behind Long Chen, walking forward for the time it takes to burn an incense stick before finally unable to hold on any longer and had to stop.
Out of hundreds of thousands of disciples, fewer than ten thousand remained, still following Long Chen onward. The older generation of strong members of the Moonwatching Clan had already begun recording the names of these disciples.
Under the pressure of the Prehistoric Winged Demon, the potential of these disciples gradually emerged. Although it couldn't determine a person's future limit, it could still serve as a reference.
The Wangyue clan's resources are limited, so he must carefully consider how to allocate resources, and make sure money is spent where it matters most.
"Buzz!"
After moving forward for half an hour, another barrier appeared, and Long Chen and the Dragon Blood warriors passed right through it.
Meanwhile, the Moonwatching Clan disciples were stuck here. Of the ten thousand disciples, only over three hundred had passed through the barrier. The rest, upon breaking through, suffered excruciating soul pain and had to retreat.
Xu Changchuan told everyone not to rush, to proceed step by step, and not to get injured recklessly, as that would affect their performance at the Sage King Assembly.
And so, more than three hundred people continued forward with the Dragon Blood Legion. When they were less than 100,000 li from the Primordial Winged Demon, a transparent barrier appeared again. This time, only Xu Changchuan followed Long Chen and the others, while the Moonwatching Clan disciples were completely wiped out.
The disciples of the Moonwatching Clan watched the backs of the Dragonblood warriors, gritting their teeth. They hated their own incompetence. Despite the Moonwatcher Clan training them so much, they were not even as good as an ordinary warrior in the Dragonblood Legion. Were they still proud of the Moonwatching Clan?
Passing through this barrier, the Dragonblood warriors began to feel immense pressure—a dual pressure of both spirit and body.
The pressure of the Primordial Winged Demon had already solidified. The earth was compressed year-round, and stepping on it was like stepping on steel—a single strike with a weapon would send out sparks.
In the air, it seemed as if countless invisible blades were continuously slicing through their bodies. Guo Ran shamelessly summoned his battle armor, and Xia Chen also summoned rune protection.
As Long Chen and the others continued onward, the people around them grew fewer and fewer, but those who stayed here all had exceptionally powerful aurras.
Long Chen and his group arrived in perfect order, moving countless powerful figures. On the outskirts, people had already begun to inquire about Long Chen and his companions' backgrounds.
"There's another barrier ahead. Qingxuan, you should stay here. You won't gain much from this place, but that's enough." Long Chen suddenly stopped and said.
The pressure of the Prehistoric Winged Demon could be used to challenge and temper the soul, but for Yu Qingxuan, it meant little to her. Long Chen didn't want her to take risks to avoid injury.
Yu Qingxuan obediently nodded and didn't continue on, just stood here watching Long Chen and the others keep going.
"Buzz"
After Long Chen and the others had taken several dozen steps, all the Dragonblood warriors shuddered violently, nearly falling to the ground. Their bones cracked as if a world was pressing down on them.
"Wow, such overwhelming pressure! It was just a corpse, and before he even got close, it was already crushing him. The faces of the Dragonblood warriors showed shock and shock.
At this moment, they were still ten thousand li away from the corpse, but the pressure surged dozens of times in an instant. Even with the terrifying body of a Dragonblood warrior, he felt his blood and energy surging, threatening to be crushed.
"If we survive, wiping us out would be a matter of a single thought!" Xia Chen's voice trembled; this was the most terrifying presence they had ever seen.
But such a terrifying existence was nailed down here. So what level of being was the one who killed it?
In front of the corpses of immortal experts, they were not even considered ants. Watching the Primordial Winged Demon bow its head, its entire body enveloped in black runes, they could not imagine what it must have been like before death.
At this point, the Dragonblood warriors all stopped in their tracks. Now, only Long Chen and Xu Changchuan could continue forward.
However, Xu Changchuan's body began to tremble slightly, and his breathing grew rapid. Clearly, he was struggling to reach the limit, but he could still hold on.
The two continued forward, gradually approaching the core area. Long Chen was surprised to find that within a thousand miles of the core area, many figures were moving around.
Not far in front of Long Chen, a group of people were kneeling on the ground, praying to the corpse of the Primordial Winged Demon. Long Chen was stunned, but when he sensed the demonic energy emanating from them, he immediately understood.
"Humble humans, forbidden from approaching the mighty Primordial Demon Saint. I'll count to three—if you don't roll, you'll die!"
As Long Chen and Xu Changchuan approached, the leader of the group didn't even look back, speaking coldly.
"Who do you think you are? Where does Master Long want to go? I still need your opinion. If you don't want to die, then get lost. Don't delay Third Master's wealth. Long
Chen snorted coldly, walking straight toward the group, at that moment, everyone's attention immediately focused on Long Chen.
