339: Self-destruct!

On the Supreme Ranking Challenge Continent, all trial-takers were focused on the battle between Lin Chen and the six Mid-stage Half-step Eternal Realm prodigies.

They originally thought Lin Chen would likely perish this time, but the reversal came so suddenly.

The young man holding the long saber completely suppressed six opponents who were even higher in Realm than him.

And in the end, he killed all of them with just one saber strike!

Is this the true combat power of a Supreme Ranking Prodigy?

Especially those trial-takers who were close by, they felt the terror of that saber strike at close range.

At this moment, their hearts were shaken to the extreme.

They all started cultivating from the Dao Realm Ninth Level, so why was there such a huge gap... The handsome young man standing in the crowd looked incredibly excited. He carefully recalled that saber strike, seemingly having an epiphany.

"Supreme Level Great Dao Battle Skill... and it's Creation Level!"

"It's truly incredible..."

On the other side, Lin Chen ignored everyone's shock. With a single grab, he collected the items left behind by the six individuals.

With a thought, he began to tally his spoils of war.

"These people are so rich!"

Lin Chen was shocked the moment his true spirit swept over them.

Each of these six individuals had two eternal sacred artifacts!

One defensive eternal sacred artifact and one offensive eternal sacred artifact!

The remaining eternal treasure artifacts added up to over a hundred, comparable to the gains he had plundered from hundreds of trial-takers during the previous Great Dao opportunity!

"These few people possess so many eternal treasure artifacts. I wonder if they were provided by their backing forces, or if they plundered them like him... or perhaps robbed them..."

Slowly withdrawing his thoughts, Lin Chen sneered inwardly.

These few people brought this outcome upon themselves!

Originally, even if they didn't succeed in this Supreme Ranking Challenge, they would still be the strongest prodigies when they returned to their own worlds.

With their foundations, they would quickly dominate a Realm!

Too bad... their brains aren't very good... Lin Chen glanced at the handsome young man in the crowd, realizing that this person was very clever.

And very cunning!

He suspected that it was this person who had gathered all the Mid-stage Half-step Eternal Realm trial-takers just now.

And then used them as pawns... Thinking of this, a hint of killing intent flashed in Lin Chen's eyes. He naturally wouldn't let go of such a conceited fellow.

Buzz—

The next moment, Lin Chen directly teleported in front of the handsome young man, and the terrifying pressure of the Great Evolution Blade Domain was entirely focused on him.

Some nearby trial-takers, seeing this, scattered like they were avoiding a plague god, keeping their distance.

The handsome young man, who had been immersed in fantasies of the Supreme Level Great Dao, now had a drastic change in expression.

He looked at Lin Chen in horror. He hadn't expected the young man to come looking for trouble after killing those few people.

"Little brother... what is this...?"

Sweat beaded on the handsome young man's forehead. He forced himself to remain calm and asked.

Lin Chen floated in mid-air, looking down at the handsome young man. He snorted coldly and said:

"Did you think I wouldn't find you if you hid here?"

"I'll give you a chance..."

"Hand over ten eternal sacred artifacts, and I won't bother you anymore. Otherwise... death!"

Boom—

As the word "death" was uttered, the five-colored long saber had already appeared in his hand.

Terrifying killing intent soared into the sky. The handsome young man stumbled back several steps, then looked at Lin Chen with a pale face.

"You... you're going too far!"

"How could I possibly have ten eternal sacred artifacts!"

"I admit I had the idea of using you earlier, but I didn't attack you later. It was they who were too greedy and too arrogant..."

Lin Chen sneered and said:

"More words are useless. I'll give you three breaths to decide!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of madness erupted in the handsome young man's eyes, and then he burst into laughter.

"Good! Very good!"

"I'll remember you. One day I will find you and crush you with my own hands!"

Lin Chen frowned upon hearing this. What did this person mean?

Did he think he could still live?

Just as Lin Chen was puzzled, the handsome young man in front of him suddenly surged with power, and his true spirit and physical body began to burn.

"Lin Chen, run! He's going to self-destruct!"

From afar, Ji Changkong shouted anxiously.

Lin Chen naturally also saw the signs.

Without time to think, he took a direct step and entered the eighth layer of space-time!

Space-Time Evasion, after being upgraded to Creation Level initial stage, could already enter the eighth layer of space-time.

This layer of space-time required comprehending the profound mysteries of space-time to an extremely high Eternal Realm level to enter.

The power of a Mid-stage Half-step Eternal Realm self-destructing was terrifying!

At that moment, he had already been locked onto by the handsome young man, so this eighth layer of space-time was the safest.

Lin Chen's gaze penetrated through layers of space-time, looking towards the Supreme Ranking Challenge Continent.

He saw that after the handsome young man lost his aura, he directly self-destructed on the spot.

Terrifying power swept in all directions. Thousands of trial-takers were affected, instantly turning into dust... A purple glow flashed in Lin Chen's eyes, as the Myriad Manifestations Eye activated.

He carefully observed the area after the handsome young man's self-destruction.

However, he found that the person had completely lost all signs of life, and even the aura of his true spirit had vanished.

"Is he really dead?"

"Then why did he say he would come find me?"

Lin Chen became puzzled. Did that young man also possess a clone technique?

Suddenly, he thought of something, and then he subtly sensed his own karma lines.

Sure enough, he found that among the countless karma lines related to himself, a very thick one appeared.

At the end of this karma line, he sensed a familiar aura.

It was the handsome young man!

The karma line had not disappeared, which proved that the person was not dead!

After being stunned for a moment, Lin Chen roughly guessed what had happened.

"Either it's a clone technique, or it's some secret technique that allows for resurrection..."

After withdrawing his thoughts, Lin Chen no longer dwelled on it.

Even if the other party found him, what then?

He could kill the other party now, and he could do so again in the future, and it would only be easier!

However, this handsome young man was truly wealthy.

Lin Chen smiled faintly, then directly appeared at the spot where the handsome young man had self-destructed earlier.

He saw eternal treasure artifacts floating here, more than fifty of them!

There were even three eternal sacred artifacts!

Besides that, after that person's self-destruction, thousands of trial-takers were taken with him, and those trial-takers also dropped a large pile of equipment.

Lin Chen collected all of them in one go.

The other trial-takers all stayed far away from this area, no longer daring to approach, let alone come over to touch this equipment... "Even if this person revives in the outside world, he'll probably be kicking himself..."

Lin Chen chuckled, then flashed and appeared in front of Ji Changkong and Fang Yong.

He looked at Fang Yong, shaking his head slightly, and said:

"Fang Yong, honestly, your combat power is too weak. It's very likely that you won't be able to defeat a single one of these ten thousand statues..."

Lin Chen was speaking the truth. Although Fang Yong's Realm was quite high.

His foundation was too poor!

He had no Great Dao Battle Skills, his bloodline was only golden-level, and he didn't have a Unity Secret Art that could amplify the power of his physical body and weapons beyond Great Dao Battle Skills.

And his only advantage—a high Realm—was not worth mentioning in front of a Supreme Ranking Prodigy... Fang Yong's eyes went black upon hearing this, then he said with a smile:

"Brother Chen, you were truly amazing just now. From now on, I'll call you Brother Chen."

"I also know what level my true strength is at. Brother Chen, you can try to advance your ranking further; don't worry about me."

"As for that sacred weapon, just consider it a gift to Brother Chen. Anyway, my family doesn't lack sacred weapons, hehe..."

"Oh, by the way, Brother Chen, this is the dimensional coordinate of our Sky Profound Realm. If you have the chance in the future, you must come find me. If my father knows I've befriended an elder brother like you, he'll be overjoyed..."

Lin Chen nodded with a smile.

In his heart, however, he sighed with emotion. The innate conditions of these children of great powers were too good.

He had worked desperately, accumulating countless Energy Points to achieve his current strength, while these children of great powers casually had endless resources...

"Alright, I'll accept this saber. When I have the chance in the future, I will definitely go."

Just then, Ji Changkong also spoke:

"Lin Chen, you can indeed raise your ranking further. Our ancestor once left behind fragments of a secret: the higher the ranking, the better the opportunity you might receive!"

Oh?

Lin Chen's eyes immediately lit up.

Is this a hidden reward... "Very well then, let me see how strong those Supreme Ranking Prodigies at the top are!"
