646: Chapter 649 Can't Afford to Play?

[anomaly Lu Chen has touched the taboo threshold.]

[All Candidates in the Trial of the Supreme Throne of Destiny are immediately granted temporary Truth Realm power and can freely enter any Reality Plane.]

[Global Mission Issued: Kill Lu Chen.]

[The one who delivers the final blow will receive two wish opportunities.]

[Wishes can rewrite any reality Law, resurrect any Soul, or grant the position of supreme ruler of the reality Universe.]

[The hunt begins now.]

Boom!

The announcement shook the entire Multiverse Plane.

Every Candidate felt boundless power surging into their bodies.

They were all forcibly elevated to the level of the powerhouse Lu Chen had just slain.

Lu Chen stood alone in the Void Realm.

He could clearly perceive:

Countless "Truth Realm" auras.

Like an enraged swarm of bees, they frantically lit up across thousands of realities.

Each one was the "protagonist" of their respective plane world;

And now.

They all possessed the ultimate motivation to kill him.

Lu Chen sighed softly.

He looked up at the "empty" sky.

"I only accidentally touched the truth."

Lu Chen's voice was cold and sharp.

"Nothing more."

"Why must you insist on putting me to death?"

At the horizon.

Countless spatial gates opened frantically.

The first wave of Candidates surged forward.

Thousands upon thousands.

The power radiating from each person.

Was enough to crush ordinary Truth Realm existences.

They flexed their wrists.

Greed for the "two wishes" opportunity burned in their eyes.

"You are forcing an enemy to fight to the death for no reason,"

Lu Chen whispered.

His hair danced wildly.

An Origin Supreme aura soared into the sky.

To meet the coming storm.

"Once I break your shackles, you pieces of trash hiding behind the scenes will have nowhere to run."

Lu Chen drew the boundless sword of the void sea.

The blade did more than just glow.

It resonated with the sound of billions upon billions of worlds.

With his strength alone.

He faced a million "gods."

But this time.

He wasn't acting.

He was truly prepared.

To dye this Void Realm blood red.

The gray Void Realm of the Trial Grounds.

Boiled completely.

The announcement of the Eternal Divine Domain's will.

Was like a drop of blood falling into a pack of sharks.

Lu Chen stood in the center of the storm.

His expression was indifferent.

He wasn't afraid.

He didn't even feel frustrated anymore.

He had moved past anger.

Entering a cold, clear-minded state of absolute lucidity.

"So, this is how the game is played,"

Lu Chen said softly.

His voice was drowned out by the sound of space shattering,

"If the pieces on the board are too strong, you just directly modify the rules to destroy them."

He looked down at the boundless sword of the void sea in his hand.

The sword felt as light as nothing.

As if it were an extension of his will.

It had already foreseen the coming slaughter.

Humming incessantly with thirst.

In the distance.

The first wave of Candidates appeared.

Not one or two.

But thousands upon thousands.

They were the "protagonists" of their own stories.

Men and women who had climbed from the bottom all the way to the Peak of power.

Usually.

They were enemies of each other.

But the promise of two wishes from the Eternal Divine Domain's will.

Had turned them into a pack of irrational, hungry wolves.

"He's over there!"

A roar amplified by Truth Laws exploded,

"The anomaly! That guy who thinks he's above us all!"

A young man wearing a Liquid Starlight Robe stepped forward.

Holding a Spear of Solar Essence.

Behind him.

Tens of thousands of people floated in the Void Realm.

Their eyes flickering with greed and the false power forcibly granted by the Eternal Divine Domain's will.

"Lu Chen!"

The young man laughed wildly,

"You are only one person! We are millions! Now everyone is a Truth Realm powerhouse!"

"Do you really think you can withstand a vast ocean of people?"

"You're like a dying stray dog, trying to save yourself by clutching at a straw!"

The crowd behind him burst into a roar of laughter.

The sound was like thunder.

Shaking the Reality Plane.

They all knew Lu Chen's name.

They all recognized his face.

The label the Eternal Divine Domain's will had placed on him was too eye-catching.

Making them completely ignore his true danger.

Lu Chen paid no mind to the mockery.

He didn't even glance at the shouting young man.

He just looked down.

Silently counting.

One million.

Five million.

Twelve million.

Spatial gates were still opening continuously.

The Void Realm was becoming more and more crowded.

In his eyes.

These "ants" were gathering at a record-breaking speed.

To the Candidates.

Lu Chen seemed frozen with fear.

His posture was straight.

His hands rested calmly on the hilt of the boundless sword of the void sea, which was thrust into the Void Realm ground.

Beside him.

Stood a Clone quietly.

Looking exactly like him.

Possessing only "1%" of his own power.

"Look!"

Someone screamed.

"He's so scared he's started making Clones! And only one!"

"anomaly, is this all you've got?"

More laughter, more mockery poured in.

"He must be scared witless."

A woman with Flame Wings sneered,

"He's so scared he's like a statue, motionless, because he knows today is his day to die."

Lu Chen finally raised his head slowly.

His gaze did not fall on them.

But pierced through them.

As if they were merely transparent glass.

"You're too noisy."

Lu Chen spoke calmly.

He flicked his wrist.

A layer of translucent blue barrier spread from within his body.

Forming a perfect sphere of light with a ten-meter radius.

Protecting him and the Clone.

Firmly in the center.

"Attack! That bastard has deployed a defensive barrier!"

The young man in the starlight robe roared.

Instantly.

The Void Realm was swallowed by light.

Millions of attacks struck the blue sphere of light simultaneously.

Pure energy beams,

Dimensional Slashes,

Soul-Crushing Warhammers,

Elemental Storms...

The combined strike of millions and tens of millions of Truth Realm powerhouses.

Should have instantly wiped out the Foundation of an entire Reality Plane.

But now.

It didn't even cause the barrier to flicker.

Inside the barrier.

Lu Chen sat on the ground.

Closing his eyes, he continued to wait.

Time in the Trial Grounds was a fluid concept.

But for those outside the barrier.

Ten days felt like an eternity.

They never stopped attacking.

Taking turns.

Frantically pouring all kinds of new powers onto the blue light shell.

"Why won't it break?!"

A Candidate howled.

His hands were a bloody mess from forty-eight hours of continuous pounding on the barrier,

"It's just energy! It'll run out sooner or later!"

They didn't understand.

An ordinary Origin Supreme.

Facing an army of ten million.

Maintaining such a barrier would surely be difficult.

But Lu Chen.

Was never ordinary.

He was the Lord of the World Tree.

His energy reserves were not a pond.

But an infinite sea.

He didn't even actively consume energy to maintain the barrier.

He did nothing.

The barrier was merely operating passively.

Inside the barrier.

Lu Chen opened his eyes.

"Nine hundred and eighty million."

He said softly.

He waited quietly for a few more hours.

The Void Realm was already overcrowded.

As far as the eye could see, there were only figures.

The last batch of spatial gates flickered and went out.

All Candidates had arrived.

"One billion."

Lu Chen stood up.

He looked at the faces pressed against the barrier:

Distorted greed, fatigue, hatred.
