288: Horrible increase!

Lin Chen's current martial arts realm is the Half-step Great Emperor Realm mid-stage.

He can keep the time wheel active for 20 years, with a time acceleration of 200,000 times.

Once activated, the time wheel will remain in one place, so Lin Chen must put it away before leaving the fifth trial space.

The main difficulty in perfecting the Hongmeng Divine Body Technique is comprehending a trace of Hongmeng Power.

This is extremely difficult; as the initial power of all laws and energy, Hongmeng Power requires one to comprehend the Great Dao Power to an extremely high level to achieve ultimate sublimation, comprehend the Hongmeng Great Dao, and master Hongmeng Power!

Ever since the system deduced this body technique, Lin Chen had always suspected that the pinnacle of martial arts was likely related to Hongmeng Power.

After all, the level of Hongmeng Power he knew of was too high...

"I wonder how powerful beings who master true Hongmeng Power are."

"What kind of realm would it take to touch this power..."

"Eternal Realm? Or Ancestor Realm?"

Lin Chen's heart surged with emotion.

He now eagerly awaited the Hongmeng Divine Body Technique to give him a surprise.

At the same time, he also had a vague concept of his future path.

After retracting his thoughts, Lin Chen immersed himself in enlightenment.

His Half-step Great Emperor Realm late-stage comprehension, multiplied by ten thousand times, was terrifying.

Every second, trillions of thoughts flashed by; his thought speed, reasoning ability, and so on, had all reached an inconceivable realm.

Yet, even with such terrifying comprehension, understanding the Hongmeng Divine Body Technique was still exceptionally slow.

One year... two years... ten years... Just as the fifth wave of demonic beasts was about to descend, Lin Chen finally comprehended that one-in-a-trillion trace of Hongmeng Power!

Boom—

There was a ripple within the time domain, and the entire black tower seemed to tremble slightly.

All the trial participants outside sensed it.

They all looked around in confusion.

"What's going on? I didn't sense it wrong, did I? Is some great terror about to descend with the fifth wave?"

"No, at that instant, it felt like the entire fifth trial space shook. Is a powerful expert attacking the black tower space?"

"How is that possible? The black tower was refined by an Ancestor Realm expert..."

"Why are you still in the mood for small talk? I say, Duanmu Lei, good deeds are rewarded. How about you tell us how to slay these demonic beasts..."

"Yeah, Brother Lei, I beg you. I really will quit after this trial ends. From now on, Brother Lei, you'll be the most important benefactor of my ancient clan..."

At this moment, a young man wearing red battle armor and with a shaved head transmitted a true spirit message, saying:

"That's hilarious, 'benefactor.' I advise you to quickly follow Brother Lei, like me, otherwise, when the fifth wave of demonic beasts descends, you'll regret it too late."

This bald man was the trial participant who followed the second-ranked human. Ever since he learned how to eliminate demonic beasts, he quickly slew all of them.

At this moment, he was leisurely eating roasted alien beast meat, feeling incredibly content.

And the second-ranked human was precisely Duanmu Lei, spoken of by many trial participants!

At this moment, Duanmu Lei did not pay attention to the words of those trial participants. He sensed something with a puzzled expression, then slowly turned his gaze towards the continent where Lin Chen was located.

Just now, the entire trial space trembled, and he guessed that something extraordinary must have happened.

"Is it you?"

A hint of surprise flashed in Duanmu Lei's eyes; he felt that Lin Chen was too mysterious.

"I wonder if you can withstand the fifth wave of demonic beasts..."

Duanmu Lei retracted his gaze and chuckled playfully.

Within the sixth layer of spacetime on the continent where Lin Chen was located.

A wisp of grayish airflow circulated around his fingertips. This wisp of airflow was the trace of Hongmeng Power he had comprehended through the Hongmeng Divine Body Technique!

In his perception, this wisp of Hongmeng Power contained terrifying strength.

The power level of this wisp of Hongmeng Power was many times higher than his High-Level Origin Realm Taiyi Great Dao... Unfortunately, he could only perceive this trace through this body technique.

If he could comprehend more Hongmeng Power, he would be able to directly slice through everything with Hongmeng Power!

"As expected of a High-Level Origin Realm body technique."

At this moment, his mind was shaken, and he looked forward even more to the amplification of this body technique.

The next moment, this wisp of Hongmeng Power merged into his physical body.

Boom—

Lin Chen's Physical Strength surged rapidly, as if his physical body had received the best tonic in the world.

At this moment, Lin Chen had the illusion of immediately ascending on the spot. Every second, his combat power would reach a new height!

After a long while, once his aura stabilized, he looked at the system panel.

Physical Strength: 6400 Yuan Power

100 times amplification!!

Staring at the system panel, Lin Chen was dumbfounded.

Is this really a High-Level Origin Realm body technique?

At this moment, Lin Chen had an unreal feeling, as if he had won a huge lottery.

Lin Chen had a premonition that 6400 Yuan Power was definitely comparable to the combat power of the Great Emperor Realm!

And not just an ordinary Great Emperor Realm!

Hongmeng Power was indeed too transcendent. He only borrowed less than one-in-a-trillion of its power, yet it strengthened his Physical Strength so much.

"High-Level Origin Realm body techniques are already so abnormal. What about body techniques that transcend the High-Level Origin Realm?"

Lin Chen looked at the system panel, his heart filled with excitement.

Just then, the spatial aisle for the fifth wave of demonic beasts opened.

Lin Chen's battle intent was soaring at this moment. He stepped out and arrived below the spatial aisle.

Duanmu Lei noticed Lin Chen immediately, his eyelids twitching as he looked at Lin Chen.

Although Lin Chen's realm hadn't changed at all, as he looked at Lin Chen, he always felt something was different.

This young man vaguely gave him a sense of dread, which shocked him greatly.

"Is it an illusion?"

...Ooooh—

Terrifying roars of beasts came through.

All trial participants' expressions changed dramatically, and they suddenly looked towards the spatial aisle.

Instantly, 1000 demonic beasts rushed out from the spatial aisle.

Lin Chen found that the aura of these demonic beasts was far stronger than the previous ones, but they had not yet reached the Great Emperor Realm level.

Lin Chen quickly reacted with a slight perception.

The demonic beasts that descended this time were equivalent to the pseudo-Great Emperor Realm level.

The three conditions for breaking through to the Great Emperor Realm:

Comprehending a trace of Great Dao above the High-Level Origin Realm, the transformation of the true spirit, and the elevation of the Emperor Seal into the Great Emperor Seal.

Regardless of which condition is met, the strength will undergo earth-shattering changes.

The demonic beasts that descended this time were comparable to this realm!

At the same time, the combat power of those 8 trial participants was also comparable to this realm!

That is to say, those 8 trial participants had to face 1000 opponents of comparable strength!

Lin Chen could imagine that trial participants might very likely fall today... Even if they were lucky enough to survive today, what about tomorrow?

Lin Chen had a premonition that Great Emperor-level demonic beasts would very likely descend tomorrow!

Even he felt a little apprehensive... Looking at the 1000 pseudo-Emperor level demonic beasts charging towards him, Lin Chen's eyes gleamed.

"This level of demonic beast should yield more Energy Points!"

The next moment, Lin Chen already had his long blade in hand.

This time, he directly unleashed the Primordial Secret Art!

1.39 million times Great Dao Power amplification!

Om—

Each time the blade light flashed, three or four demonic beasts turned into nothingness, and then their demonic cores were directly converted into energy by Lin Chen.

Lin Chen frowned slightly. After several attacks, he understood the approximate strength of his martial arts path.

His Great Dao Combat Skill amplification was actually terrifying; those trial participants' Great Dao Combat Skill amplification was at most 9000 times.

Unless they comprehended higher-level combat skills... But despite Lin Chen's terrifying combat skill amplification, his actual combat power was not ideal. Facing thousands of pseudo-Emperor level demonic beasts, he didn't achieve the level of crushing and instantly killing them.

The problem lay in his Taiyi Great Dao's low comprehension, only 31%!

Those trial participants had all reached the Half-step Great Emperor Realm late-stage, with comprehension levels of at least 70%.

Therefore, Lin Chen's combat power when unleashing Great Dao Combat Skills was limited.

He estimated it was just barely at the level of a Great Emperor First Stage.

With this thought, Lin Chen instantly summoned all his clones. The clones quickly formed a battle array, augmenting his main body.

Boom—

Lin Chen slashed out with his blade, and a terrifying blade light swept across, causing swathes of demonic beasts to disappear.

At this moment, the amplification of Taiyi Return to Ruins Slash reached 1.6 million times!
