299: Return to the Sword Prison!

Bamboo Sea Wonderland, inside the Inheritance Hall.

Chen Fan connected to the Virtual Universe network, and his consciousness quickly fell into darkness.

Qianwu Country, Black Dragon Mountain Island.

As soon as Chen Fan entered, he was directly teleported to the Slaughter Arena, the Slaughter Arena.

Decisive Battle Space, an arena built in the center of the sea.

Towering waves, obscuring the sky and sun, crashed continuously against the arena.

No matter how turbulent the surrounding waves were, they could not encroach upon the arena by half a step.

Chen Fan, with a third-tier Blazefire Battle Blade on his back, floated above the battle platform with his hands clasped behind him.

At this moment, Chen Fan's domain was unleashed, vast and mighty, as if possessing an invincible aura that could crush everything.

Streaks of sky-blue and blood-red Blade light swirled around Chen Fan, their sharpness fully revealed.

"A Universe Rank one, yet possessing such a terrifying domain, it truly is my Minotaur Warriors' luck!"

Opposite Chen Fan, a tall Minotaur Warrior, wielding two massive axes and unleashing a domain of gold, exclaimed with eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Perfect, I'll also see what makes you, a warrior with a seven-star rating, so extraordinary!" Chen Fan said with a smile, slowly drawing his Battle Blade from behind him.

This time, he did not use his Spiritual power, but instead wanted to have a straightforward duel with the Battle Blade in his hand.

In fact, Chen Fan wanted to test the secret technique he had just learned from the "Time Restriction."

"Big guy, be careful, my attacks are very fast."

Chen Fan kindly reminded him.

"It's fine, just attack. If I, Man A'niu, dodge, you can write my name backward!"

"Oh, that confident!?" A deep smile appeared on Chen Fan's face.

"What, you don't believe me? Then let's see for ourselves!" A'niu still looked full of confidence.

Before meeting Chen Fan, he had consecutively defeated nearly ten Universe Rank experts, finally raising his rating to seven stars.

Now, encountering Chen Fan, this 'harmless' young man, A'niu's carefree nature was fully displayed, believing he had victory in his grasp.

However, he did not know what kind of terrifying opponent he was facing this time!

Seemingly provoked by Chen Fan's disdainful smile,

this opponent, as burly as an ancient bronze giant, lightly clashed his twin axes, showing no fear whatsoever.

Clang, clang, clang!!!

"Hmm, very good!"

Chen Fan nodded lightly, his expression very satisfied.

"First move — Nowhere to Hide!!"

As Chen Fan's voice fell, his Battle Blade itself emitted a misty glow. Hundreds of ethereal and fierce auras filled the entire Decisive Battle Space, omnipresent.

And streaks of sharpness emanated from these Blade lights, pointing directly at Man A'niu.

Cannot evade!

Nowhere to hide!!

These two thoughts suddenly appeared in Man A'niu's mind.

Buzz!

Left with no choice, he immediately unleashed his full Golden Domain, his entire body enveloped in a layer of golden flowing light.

Gold-element Origin Power!?

Chen Fan silently observed all of this, then slowly raised his Battle Blade.

Strengthen, strengthen again!!

Opposite Chen Fan, the A'niu Warrior, feeling a great threat, was trying to enhance his defense, attempting to block Chen Fan's attack with it.

Alas, to no avail!

Whoosh!

A chilling light burst forth from the Blade. At this moment, all the Blade light in the entire space was instantly activated.

Tens of millions of Blade lights, merged into one Blade!!

Utmost rigidity, utmost sharpness, invincibility!!

Within it, a wisp of Chen Fan's comprehension of the Time Origin Laws was intertwined.

Even if only a trace, it surpassed countless Cosmic-level martial artist of the same rank!

As this wisp of white light erupted, A'niu was directly torn in half, along with his battle attire, by an incomparably sharp Blade light...

"This is impossible!!"

Before disappearing, this Man A'niu's eyes were wide, looking as if he had seen a ghost: "How could... how could you be so... strong!!!"

Before he could finish his sentence, he had already dissipated into light and electricity.

After instantly killing his opponent, Chen Fan was in a great mood.

It turned out that combining this secret art with his Blade technique allowed him to directly kill his opponent without them even realizing it, which was truly terrifying.

Chen Fan pondered silently, his heart filled with even greater anticipation for the power that would erupt from combining other secret techniques with his Blade technique.

"Next match!" Chen Fan said with a smile.

"..."

In the second match, Chen Fan put away his domain and began to face people with his 'true appearance.'

"Kid, you don't even have a domain, hurry back and cultivate properly!" A short, thin monkey-like man, wielding a gilded nunchaku, sneered.

"Oh!?" Chen Fan looked puzzled, "Then try this move of mine."

"Beautiful as a painting!!"

As Chen Fan's voice fell, the void in front of him was suddenly flattened, directly transforming from three dimensions to two. This thin monkey-like opponent and his weapon instantly became flat... Even the space he was in was transformed into a painting.

Spatial-temporal secret art, truly terrifying!

Even if it only contained a trace of spatial secret art, it was still not to be underestimated.

Chen Fan silently took all of this in, very satisfied.

This was dimensionality reduction strike!

A smile played on Chen Fan's lips, then he waved his hand.

Immediately after, a painting flew into Chen Fan's hand. Inside the painting was the thin monkey-like man, but he was already lifeless, frozen within.

"The secret arts of 'Time Restriction' are truly terrifying," Chen Fan said, looking at the deceased thin monkey-like man, his eyes filled with immense satisfaction.

'Nowhere to Hide' and 'Beautiful as a Painting' were only the secret arts from the first volume of "Time Restriction," considered the most basic secret arts.

And the secret arts from the second and third volumes, in Chen Fan's opinion, would definitely be countless times more powerful than the current ones.

Whoosh!!

As Chen Fan's five fingers clenched, the painting instantly turned into dust, slowly falling from his hand.

Until it returned to nothingness!

...Then, Chen Fan continued to match opponents in the Decisive Battle Space.

Soon, a burly man with green skin appeared before Chen Fan, his arrogance boundless!!

But without exception, Chen Fan won the third battle!

Immediately after, Chen Fan also won the fourth battle!

...One after another, Chen Fan suffered no defeats, winning seventeen consecutive matches, directly rising from four-star to nine-star.

His high rating caused Chen Fan to fail in matching opponents for the next half hour.

The reason was none other than this:

Chen Fan's soaring rating had scared away his opponents.

After waiting another half an hour.

After no results, Chen Fan directly exited the Virtual Universe.

Standing in the Inheritance Hall again, Chen Fan's aura had already changed.

After withdrawing from the Slaughter Arena, Chen Fan involuntarily exuded a chilling killing intent.

This feeling was as if he had fought his way out of a thousand armies, making people shiver.

"Now, it's time to enter the Blade Hell Corridor again!"

As Chen Fan's thought fell, the exquisite blood-colored jade Card in the moon of destiny space burst forth with an ethereal glow, like a gradually rising morning mist.

Buzz!!

Accompanied by a sense of spatial distortion, Chen Fan instantly disappeared from the Inheritance Hall, silently.

At this moment, where Chen Fan had been, only two fifth-tier Origin Power weapons of water and fire attributes remained.

As Chen Fan disappeared into thin air, the two Origin Power weapons naturally clanged to the ground.

When he reappeared, Chen Fan was already outside the Blade Hell Corridor.

The tall and vast ancient hall seemed to have existed since ancient times, exuding an endless, ancient, and rustic aura.

"The sixty-fourth level of the Blade Hell Corridor. The last time I reached here, I was still Astral Rank five, but now I am a Cosmic-level martial artist."

Chen Fan looked at this trial corridor, which resembled a grand hall, and his thoughts couldn't help but drift back to three years ago —

At that time, he, relying solely on Astral Rank five and a four-fold domain, was able to go directly from the eleventh level to the sixty-fourth level, defeating a Universe Rank three trial puppet.

Now, three years later, Chen Fan has not only broken through to become a Cosmic-level martial artist, but his domain has also advanced from four-fold to eight-fold.

Compared to the past, Chen Fan's strength can be described as earth-shattering.
