248: Emperor Chapter 97 Test of Combat Power

After removing the time wheel, Lin Chen sensed everything in the outside world, and he felt a bit disoriented.

This retreat of over 200 years exceeded his entire martial arts cultivation career... Lin Chen understood that as his realm continuously improved, future breakthroughs would take even longer.

He still had the system's help, with each breakthrough being equivalent to a continuous epiphany and Initiation absorption.

Which ordinary being doesn't accumulate for countless years to break through to the Emperor Realm?

Unless there's a great opportunity, or a time-accelerating treasure like Lin Chen's, it's impossible to shorten the breakthrough time.

After breaking through to the true spirit realm of Five-Step Emperor Realm, Lin Chen's true spirit perception range greatly increased.

It has now reached a diameter of 500,000 light-years.

Yet, such a vast range is merely a small area of the Black Pagoda.

Lin Chen discovered that within the area he perceived, there were no more trial-takers.

Moreover, the lowest realm of the exotic beasts appearing outside now is First Tribulation Quasi-Emperor level!

This was like doomsday for those ordinary trial-takers.

"There are only two days left until the end of the first layer of trials."

"I need to seize the time to hunt."

He also wanted to test his current true combat strength.

He checked the current leaderboard.

Lin Chen found that his score ranking had actually been surpassed by Ye Shaoyang.

First place: Ye Shaoyang (9.743 billion points)

Second place: Lin Chen (8.633 billion points)

This made him wonder, after he went into seclusion, Emperor Realm-level exotic beasts had appeared.

Ye Shaoyang's strength was at most Four or Five Tribulation Quasi-Emperor, so why did he hunt so many points?

Suddenly, Lin Chen thought of the more than 50 seed imprints!

Previously, he had directly devoured the seed imprints through the system, without using his own seed imprints to devour them.

It was very likely that devouring these seed imprints could yield great benefits!

Thinking of this, Lin Chen sneered.

"This time, you won't be able to escape."

Immediately, Lin Chen's aura erupted, and his figure instantly flew towards a gathering place of exotic beasts.

His current Physical Strength realm is Imperial Rank Five Forging, and by using Physical Strength to propel his body, he can reach 2000 times the speed of light.

This was much faster than tearing space to travel.

Soon, he arrived at the exotic beast gathering place, where there were about a hundred thousand exotic beasts.

Lin Chen noticed that after these exotic beasts' realms improved, their numbers actually decreased.

Among these hundred thousand exotic beasts, the strongest were four Six-Step Emperor Realm level exotic beasts, and there were over a hundred other Emperor Realm exotic beasts!

This was a terrifying lineup!

It was equivalent to facing the powerhouses of ten Great Worlds of the Heavenly Demon Kingdom directly!

Lin Chen became excited at the sight.

Buzz—

The next moment, eight wisps of green smoke emerged from his body, then transformed into Lin Chen's appearance.

The strength of each of these clones was the same as his main body, and they were precisely the clone technique that Lin Chen had re-deduced through the system!

This was the change in One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones after advancing from Limit-Breaking to Origin-level Primary.

The Origin-level clone technique had not yet reached the level of countless clones, only increasing to a total of 9 clones.

However, this was still terrifying.

Because it perfectly replicated all of his main body's combat strength!

He still had one clone that was always with Savage Iron, so this time he only summoned 8 clones.

"First, eliminate those small fry!"

Lin Chen's mind stirred, and the true spirit power of the Five-Step Emperor Realm level swept out.

Instantly, all exotic beasts below the Five-Step Emperor Realm were directly annihilated!

Roar—

At this moment, the remaining exotic beasts roared in fury and charged towards Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's main body and clones also instantly activated Limit-Breaking level body techniques, and their Physical Strength erupted as they charged forward.

His main body had the time wheel, which could defend against true spirit attacks to a certain extent, so Lin Chen was not afraid.

The time wheel was a treasure refined by a power of the Eternal Saint Lord level, possessing many wondrous uses.

true spirit defense was also something Lin Chen discovered during his hundreds of years of seclusion.

Boom—

After Lin Chen advanced to Imperial Rank Five Forging Golden Body, his Physical Strength reached 10 trillion Dragon Elephant Power, and when he used his body technique, it directly surged to 20 trillion Dragon Elephant Power!

After his base strength increased, the amplification of the Limit-Breaking body technique weakened to 2 times.

But even so, Lin Chen felt incredibly powerful at this moment!

Bang, bang, bang!

The screams of the exotic beasts echoed.

Those Five-Step Emperor Realm level exotic beasts were directly blasted apart by Lin Chen's clones with a single punch!

Seeing this, Lin Chen's expression was invigorated.

When he was at Imperial Rank Four Forging, his Physical Strength was 5 trillion Dragon Elephant Power; now at Imperial Rank Five Forging, it is 10 trillion Dragon Elephant Power, his Physical Strength has doubled.

Lin Chen guessed that the Physical Strength of Imperial Rank Six Forging should be 20 trillion Dragon Elephant Power.

Which meant he very likely possessed the combat strength of a Six-Step Emperor Realm!

Boom, boom, boom—

The eight clones began to fight the four Six-Step Emperor Realm level exotic beasts.

Indeed, Lin Chen found that the clones' combat strength was comparable to the four exotic beasts.

Seeing this, Lin Chen also joined the battlefield.

9 against 4, Lin Chen held an absolute advantage.

Soon, under the encirclement of Lin Chen's main body and clones, the four exotic beasts' bones shattered, and after suffering severe injuries, they retreated steadily.

Just then.

Buzz—

The four exotic beasts also seemed to have discovered Lin Chen's true realm.

They roared in fury and unleashed true spirit attacks.

With a few soft sounds, his eight clones were directly annihilated by the true spirit attacks.

Lin Chen's expression changed slightly; although he had the time wheel to defend against true spirit, his true spirit also suffered a considerable impact.

The four exotic beasts roared and charged towards him at high speed.

Boom—

Lin Chen continuously teleported, unleashing punch after punch.

These four exotic beasts had already been severely wounded, and he would not give up.

"Kill!"

Lin Chen went completely berserk, his physical body was powerful, and sometimes he even directly endured the exotic beasts' damage.

Trading injuries for injuries!

Soon, the four exotic beasts could no longer hold on, and Lin Chen seized the opportunity to blast them apart one by one.

Whoosh—

Lin Chen let out a long breath; at this moment, his appearance was also extremely tragic.

His body was covered in gruesome blood holes, and even one of his shoulders had disappeared.

However, these injuries were recovering at a visible speed.

A few minutes later, Lin Chen was fully recovered!

After this battle, he discovered that once cultivation reached the Emperor Realm level, it was too difficult to fight across realms!

"It seems that Limit-Breaking level body techniques are no longer sufficient."

"Also, the Taiyi Great Dao needs to have a combat technique deduced from it!"

The power of the Taiyi Great Dao is beyond doubt.

Lin Chen was also very much looking forward to the Origin-level combat technique deduced from the Taiyi Great Dao!

In this battle, he learned his true combat strength.

Lin Chen estimated that in the final moments of the first layer of trials, exotic beasts above Seven-Step Emperor Realm would definitely appear!

At that time, either he would find a safe house to hide.

Or, he would risk hunting them.

He glanced at the score leaderboard.

Lin Chen found that in this short time, he had gained over 400 million points!

So much?

"The main objective of this layer's trial is to obtain points."

Lin Chen suddenly understood.

Immediately, his eyes gleamed with sharp light.

"I just need to remotely kill exotic beasts below Five-Step Emperor Realm with true spirit attacks, then have my clones act to kill Five-Step Emperor Realm exotic beasts, and that's it!"

His main body didn't need to bother risking fighting high-level exotic beasts.

As long as his main body observed from a distance, the intelligent assistant could still record points.

According to his calculations.

Killing Imperial Rank level exotic beasts awards 10,000 points, 100,000 points, 1,000,000 points... For every realm increased, the point reward increases tenfold!
