261: nightmare

Only the last hour remains for the second layer of the trial.

During this time, Lin Chen had been staying in the sixth layer of Space-Time.

The current second layer world could be said to be like hell.

With Lin Chen's strength at the Eight-Step Emperor Realm, if his luck was bad, he would die... The current wraiths were still those four types, but their strength had become extremely powerful.

There were even wraiths with Half-Step Great Emperor Realm combat power appearing!

The number of wraiths was increasing, and these wraiths spawned randomly, so it was impossible for the trial participants to hide in one place until the trial ended.

Time passed by minute by minute.

When the trial had only 10 minutes left.

That ethereal voice resounded again.

"To all trial participants, the Wraith Disaster is about to descend!"

"Successfully passing the second layer of the trial awards 10 billion Energy Points!"

"Hmm?"

Lin Chen became puzzled.

The trial of the second layer was called the Wraith Disaster.

Did this Wraith Disaster refer to a type of wraith?

But this type of wraith had not appeared in Lin Sha's memories.

Lin Chen immediately became vigilant.

Anything that could make the Black Tower actively broadcast a warning must not be simple!

Just as Lin Chen was puzzled.

Boom—

A terrifying aura descended.

Lin Chen could feel that chilling aura even from within the sixth layer of Space-Time.

"This... could it be a Great Emperor Realm wraith?"

Lin Chen's heart trembled.

Having experienced the first layer, this time he did not use his true spirit to sense.

Otherwise, he might very well be discovered by that terrifying wraith... Lin Chen's true spirit power avoided the Great Emperor Realm wraith and sensed other areas.

The next moment, Lin Chen understood what the Wraith Disaster meant.

At this moment, all the wraiths in the second layer world seemed to have received some kind of command and began to rush madly towards the areas where the trial participants were hiding.

Among those gathered wraiths, there were several Half-Step Great Emperor Realm ones!

There were tens of thousands of those above the Seven-Step Emperor Realm!

Lin Chen's heart was shocked; if he were to encounter such a wraith army, he would probably be gone in an instant!

Facing such a wraith army, there was only one option: flee!

As long as he held on for ten minutes, he could pass the second layer of the trial.

Even if only a breath remained, or a trace of true spirit survived, it would be fine.

As long as he went to the Exchange Land, he could be revived by the mysterious spring water.

Suddenly, in Lin Chen's true spirit perception, he discovered that countless wraiths were actually coming towards his location.

"Was I discovered?"

Lin Chen's expression immediately changed slightly.

He was in the sixth layer of Space-Time, and all his aura was shielded.

"Could it be a coincidence?"

Lin Chen became suspicious.

Seeing the wraith army getting closer and closer, Lin Chen directly flashed several times and disappeared from this area.

In the sixth layer of Space-Time, his movement speed far exceeded the speed of light.

One step spanned more than ten light-years.

Equivalent to hundreds of millions of times the speed of light!

This method of movement was related to the Space-Time Great Dao; unless Lin Chen encountered a strong person with profound attainments in space-time, he could come and go as he pleased... After moving away for more than 50 light-years, Lin Chen stopped.

He suddenly found that the wraiths in this area were also surging towards his direction, quickly forming a huge wraith legion!

"Was I really discovered?"

Lin Chen's heart pounded faster.

However, this time he did not flee.

He wanted to see if these wraiths could attack him.

Soon, the wraith army arrived near Lin Chen's location.

Lin Chen roughly scanned it; there were at least 300,000 wraiths!

Especially the dozen or so Half-Step Great Emperor Realm wraiths; the aura they emitted made Lin Chen's heart palpitate.

Boom—

Countless wraiths, as if they had discovered him, continuously attacked the Space-Time area where Lin Chen was hiding.

Unfortunately, their attacks could at most reach the fifth layer of Space-Time and could not harm him at all.

Seeing this, Lin Chen let out a huge sigh of relief.

He felt that these wraiths could discover him, very likely because the rules of the Black Tower trial exposed his position.

This also explained why countless wraiths could accurately pinpoint his location.

Thinking this way, those trial participants were in trouble...

Boom—

Suddenly, an extremely terrifying aura descended.

Lin Chen's scalp instantly tingled, his pupils contracted sharply, staring intently at the direction of the wraith army.

A terrifying black shadow appeared there, exuding an evil and powerful aura.

This was... a Great Emperor Realm wraith, and it was a Nightmare Wraith!

Lin Chen's heart was pounding wildly at this moment; he had a bad premonition that this Nightmare Wraith might have a way to kill him!

Run!

The next moment, Lin Chen fled rapidly without looking back, flashing more than 30 times before he stopped.

Casting Space-Time Evasion consumed a lot of source power; the stopped Lin Chen immediately took out some pills to restore source power from his Inner World and then stuffed them into his mouth handful by handful.

These pills were all obtained by Lin Chen from intercepting those geniuses during the previous ranking competition... At this moment, Lin Chen had already moved hundreds of light-years away, and there were less than 5 minutes left until the end of the trial.

"They shouldn't have caught up, right?"

Feeling his source power rapidly recovering, Lin Chen let out a long breath.

Suddenly, he felt his eyelids become unusually heavy, and a strong drowsiness swept over him.

"Not good!"

Lin Chen shouted, biting the tip of his tongue sharply, the intense pain temporarily restoring his consciousness.

He released his true spirit and discovered that the Great Emperor Realm Nightmare Wraith was looking at him not far away, its pair of crimson eyes making his hair stand on end.

Lin Chen once again put a handful of pills into his mouth, then continued to run for his life.

But the drowsiness grew stronger and stronger, and Lin Chen's consciousness became increasingly blurry.

"No!"

At the last moment, Lin Chen suddenly thought of something.

With a thought, a golden disk flew out from his Inner World; this was the time wheel that Old Lei had given him.

Buzz—

The time wheel emitted a brilliant golden light, instantly enveloping Lin Chen's body, and the strong drowsiness also disappeared.

The recovered Lin Chen stood where he was, and he found that the terrifying Nightmare Wraith was hovering not far away.

At this moment, the Nightmare Wraith also became puzzled, because Lin Chen's aura had disappeared... The Nightmare Wraith hovered in place for a moment and then left.

Lin Chen looked at the time wheel floating above his head, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He originally thought he could avoid everything in the sixth layer of Space-Time, but he didn't expect to still have to rely on this time wheel in the end.

"This second layer of the trial is too abnormal!"

"Although there were also Great Emperor Realm alien beasts in the first layer, that Great Emperor Realm alien beast only destroyed the safe house."

"In this second layer of the trial, Great Emperor Realm beings directly attack and kill the trial participants."

"...Or was it just me who was targeted by that Nightmare Wraith?"

Looking at the massive Energy Points on the system panel, Lin Chen was eager to become stronger at this moment!

Soon, the trial time was up.

That ethereal voice resounded.

"Congratulations to the trial participants for passing the second layer of the Black Tower trial!"

"Teleportation will begin in three seconds!"

"All trial participants are awarded 10 billion Energy Points!"

"There are 10 days until the third layer of the trial begins. Trial participants who wish to withdraw can do so within ten days!"
