285: Is he the emperor?

After slaying all the demonic creatures, Lin Chen's true spirit extended outwards, observing the continents of other factions.

He found that those trial-takers were still repeatedly slaying demonic creatures... After all, Lin Chen had only discovered the black dots within the demonic creatures' bodies by using the Myriad Manifestations Eye at the initial Origin level.

Combat skills related to this kind of detection ability were extremely rare.

Besides this, Lin Chen also noticed one trial-taker who seemed a bit different.

This trial-taker was a seed, and he didn't appear as flustered as the other trial-takers.

Although he hadn't yet found a method to kill the demonic creatures, he gave Lin Chen a feeling that everything was under his control.

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed slightly; he found that he couldn't see through this person's cultivation... "Has he broken through to the Great Emperor Realm?"

Lin Chen was inwardly shocked; this was very possible!

The previous layer's trial actually had a loophole.

Followers would also receive Energy Points rewards, and if he remembered correctly, this person was ranked second.

If he had many followers, then in the previous layer's trial, he would have ultimately obtained a massive amount of Energy Points!

This person was already at the late Half-step Great Emperor Realm before.

There were three conditions to break through to the Great Emperor Realm.

The first was the true spirit's metamorphosis.

The second was that the great dao at the Origin level must be complete, and one must also comprehend a trace of a great dao that transcends the Origin level.

The third was to elevate the Emperor Seal into an Emperor Seal, and to pass the Great Emperor Tribulation descended by the heavenly dao will!

These three conditions were each more difficult than the last!

Lin Chen once again sensed the other trial-takers; his true spirit realm was at the late Half-step Great Emperor Realm, so he could sense the aura of those at the late Half-step Great Emperor Realm.

The realms of the other trial-takers had not increased, but they were subtly stronger than before.

Lin Chen guessed that it was very likely they had achieved one or two of the three conditions for breaking through to Great Emperor... After all, these trial-takers were all peerless prodigies who had created ultimate-level great daos, and they might have cultivated for a long time in the black tower through the amplification of the Origin Chamber!

Just then, the strongest trial-taker suddenly felt something, and slightly turned his head to look in Lin Chen's direction, giving an eerie smile.

Seeing this, Lin Chen instantly understood. His true spirit had been recklessly prying, and this person's true spirit realm was definitely higher than his; he had long since detected his prying!

"It seems another tough opponent has appeared..."

Lin Chen smiled faintly, then withdrew his true spirit power and sat cross-legged on the spot.

Each floating continent was blocked by an invisible barrier; these trial-takers could only stay on their own floating continents.

Lin Chen was not in a hurry now; he quietly waited for the third wave of demonic creatures to arrive.

What he didn't know was that the moment he completely slew all the demonic creatures, all the trial-takers noticed.

The cultivation of these trial-takers was at least at the late Half-step Great Emperor Realm; under the same realm, even if their true spirit sensed the situation with Lin Chen, he wouldn't know.

These trial-takers had also maintained a state of true spirit projection, constantly monitoring the situation on each continent.

The scene of Lin Chen absorbing Energy Points deeply shook their hearts.

At this moment, they were all guessing what method Lin Chen had used to slay the demonic creatures.

Unfortunately, the system's abilities were not something they could know.

Just then, the human trial-taker ranked second also withdrew his gaze.

He looked at the tens of thousands of demonic creatures that had revived in front of him, frowning.

"To be able to turn all these demonic creatures into energy and absorb them, that's truly a monstrous ability."

"However, the physical bodies of these demonic creatures don't seem to contain that much energy."

Thinking of this, he became puzzled.

Lin Chen had spent an hour to finish devouring the energy before, and he had seen everything.

Suddenly, his eyes flickered, as if he had thought of something.

"Is there something inside the demonic creatures' bodies?"

The next moment, he raised his hand and pulled, and a demonic creature was restrained by a massive energy hand, then brought before him.

As for the other demonic creatures, they had already been crushed into dust by his terrifying pressure.

Looking at the demonic creature before him, his true spirit power fiercely probed into its body to carefully sense it.

Just as Lin Chen had guessed, he had already broken through to the Emperor Realm through this seclusion in the Origin Chamber!

The Great Emperor Realm's true spirit undergoes a massive metamorphosis, and its sensing ability far surpasses before.

His true spirit power continuously sensed various parts within the demonic creature's body.

"There's nothing inside... Could it be hidden, or... too small?"

The next moment, with a thought, his true spirit sensing began to perceive even smaller particles.

After a long while, his eyes suddenly lit up.

He saw that black dot emitting a dark, Phantom Light!

"What is this?"

He only saw a black dot and could no longer magnify it for viewing.

"I'll know if I try."

He then sensed this black dot, and then pointed a finger.

Boom—

A terrifying beam of light shot out, heading towards that black dot.

The next moment, the core within the demonic creature's body vibrated violently, but this core was so restrained that it couldn't move at all.

Bang—

The terrifying beam of light instantly struck the black dot, and the black dot was directly melted away by this beam of light.

And the demonic creature, which had been struggling madly, now also fell silent... Looking at the void that he had blasted into the demonic creature's body, his lips curled slightly... "So these demonic creatures have a vital point."

He slowly rose, glanced at the floating continent where Lin Chen was, and smiled playfully.

"I really have to thank you."

Lin Chen, feeling something, looked towards the continent where the second-ranked trial-taker was, his heart shaking.

"Was it discovered?"

Withdrawing his gaze, Lin Chen fell into contemplation.

He now had ninety percent certainty in guessing that the second-ranked trial-taker had broken through to the Emperor Realm.

The Great Emperor Realm's true spirit was incredibly powerful, and it likely possessed abilities similar to his Myriad Manifestations Eye... Afterward, Lin Chen noticed that the other trial-takers were all mimicking him, each grabbing a demonic creature to study.

But no matter how they studied, they couldn't find the core within the demonic creature's body.

Seeing this, Lin Chen shook his head slightly; either these people's true spirits metamorphosed to the Emperor Realm, or they could only let the demonic creatures continuously descend.

As for directly slaying the restrained demonic creatures, that was also useless.

Lin Chen had tried; it was necessary to precisely restrain that core. Simply slaying a restrained demonic creature was useless.

The core within the demonic creature's body would instantly break through the restraint and flee if it sensed danger, and these trial-takers couldn't sense it at all... Soon, the third day arrived.

A transmission channel reappeared in the sky, and another 1000 demonic creatures descended!

This time, all the demonic creatures were at the mid-Half-step Great Emperor Realm!

Mid-stage on the third day?

Lin Chen's expression became solemn; surely, there wouldn't be Great Emperor-level demonic creatures descending on the fifth day!

If that were the case, who could pass this layer's trial... Lin Chen let out a long breath. No matter what, he would clear out these demonic creatures first.

1000 demonic creatures at the mid-Half-step Great Emperor Realm were equivalent to 5 billion Energy Points!
