Chapter 577: Struggling for the First Place

A thousand meters away is not a distance at all for a Bao Yuan Realm expert. It can be reached in less than one-tenth of the time.

But in the Death Valley, a thousand meters is an extremely long distance for a Bao Yuan Realm expert. Even if Jin Yuxing wanted to forcibly use the Heavenly Demon Can to attack Lin Chen from a distance, he couldn't do it, because the death mystery in the Death Valley was too strong. If he used the Heavenly Demon Can, he might be offset by the death mystery in the air before he could attack Lin Chen.

In the end, the impact on Lin Chen was almost negligible, not to mention being able to kill or seriously injure Lin Chen.

The Death Valley was silent, and everyone walked forward cautiously. At the same time, they looked at Lin Chen with a hint of contempt.

In their opinion, the reason why Lin Chen suddenly stood there motionless was because he was exhausted from passing through the illusion quickly before, and finally fell into the illusion. He was afraid that he would be lost here until he died. Lin Chen's will was not as strong as they imagined.

Di Han, Xia Zong and Zhuang Long were the strongest and fastest. Half an hour later, the three of them were not far from Lin Chen.

"Is he really trapped in the illusion?" Di Han's eyes flashed with pity. Since he was facing away from Lin Chen, even Di Han didn't know what Lin Chen was like now. Maybe the latter had fallen into the illusion and lost himself.

Xia Zong didn't say anything. He shook his head slightly and continued to walk forward.

Zhuang Long's eyes flashed with murderous intent. He stared at Lin Chen's back, and the mysteries of death in his body gathered. "This man killed many geniuses of my demon clan. If so, let's end it here today!"

He had made up his mind. As long as he walked to Lin Chen's side, he would take action and kill Lin Chen, regardless of whether Lin Chen fell into the illusion and lost himself.

Behind them, there was a large group of Bao Yuan Realm masters, all of them looked exhausted, and the mysteries on their bodies were somewhat stagnant and unsmooth. Obviously, after walking in the Death Valley, the mysteries of death and the aura of death continued to oppress and restrict them. Even though they were Bao Yuan Realm masters, they were a little overwhelmed at the moment.

However, even so, they still walked forward one by one. After all, they had already entered the Death Valley. If they retreated at this time, they would also have a great chance of encountering illusions and eventually dying here. In this case, they might as well continue to move forward.

Once they entered the third floor, even if they failed to snatch the fragments of the secret book, they could still get some treasures from the third floor. It was rumored that there were many treasures on the third floor.

With this mentality, many Bao Yuan Realm masters gritted their teeth and walked forward, no matter what was waiting for them ahead.

"Ah!"

A Bao Yuan Realm master screamed, and his expression suddenly became sluggish. Obviously, this person had lost himself in the illusion.

Almost at the same time, on the other side, there was also a strong man in Bao Yuan Realm who encountered an illusion, but this person was also strong-willed and walked out of the illusion.

When these two people encountered an illusion, no one watched, and they all walked forward. For them, encountering an illusion in this Death Valley was normal, and there was nothing to be surprised about.

As time went on, Xia Zong, Zhuang Long, Di Han and other Bao Yuan Realm strongmen who were obviously much stronger were getting closer and closer to Lin Chen, and the two sides were only a few hundred meters apart.

At this speed, it won’t take too long for Xia Zong, Zhuang Long and others to overtake Lin Chen.

“Asshole, asshole, asshole!” Unlike the speed of everyone, Jin Yuxing was very annoyed at this moment. With his strength, even if he was slower, he could be on the same line with geniuses of Xu Yibai’s level, but because he kept encountering illusions, his speed also dropped sharply. After such a long time, he was still nearly a thousand meters away from Lin Chen, and it can be said that he didn’t move forward much.

This made Jin Yuxing very angry. Seeing that he was only a thousand meters away from Lin Chen, but he couldn't catch up, he was of course angry.

The most important thing is that the continuous encounters with illusions also made Jin Yuxing exhausted at the moment. You know, it takes a strong will to pass through illusions. Under such circumstances, he is naturally exhausted to pass through illusions.

However, Jin Yuxing was helpless in this situation. In fact, the speeds of many Baoyuan Realm masters who were still in the Death Valley were mostly different. The reason was very simple. The number of illusions encountered by each person was different. In this case, their speeds were naturally different.

Those with good luck had a fast speed, and those with bad luck had a large number of illusions encountered and a slow speed. For example, a master who was only in the middle stage of Baoyuan Realm was faster than many geniuses from Cangxuan Domain and Linghai Domain.

Their speed was not only determined by their will, but also by the number of illusions they encountered.

Therefore, even if Jin Yuxing was angry, it would be useless. He could only pin his hopes on Zhuang Long. Only when Zhuang Long caught up with Lin Chen, Zhuang Long would never let Lin Chen go!

Time passed little by little, and Lin Chen still stood at the bend of the Death Valley, motionless, as if he had really been trapped to death in the illusion.

Seeing that Lin Chen was still motionless, Di Han couldn't help but shake his head slightly and sighed: "It's a pity for a genius. Lin Chen has only been practicing for ten years. If he was given twice the time, he would probably be a peak master of the Baoyuan Realm now."

Di Han also knew about Lin Chen's past and admired Lin Chen in his heart, but it was a pity that it seemed that Lin Chen might not be able to get out of the Death Valley.

Without thinking too much, Di Han continued to walk forward. However, before he took two steps, the environment around him suddenly changed. The Death Valley turned into an empty grassland. At a glance, it was all green grass, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Di Han's heart trembled and his expression became solemn. Obviously, he encountered an illusion.

Di Han encountered an illusion and naturally could not move forward. Taking advantage of this time, Xia Zong and Zhuang Long took the lead and walked forward, surpassing Di Han. Originally, Xia Zong and Zhuang Long were just a little slower than Di Han. Now that Di Han stopped, the latter two naturally surpassed him.

"Lin Chen!" Zhuang Long raised his head and glanced at Lin Chen, who was less than a hundred meters away from him, with a trace of undetectable murderous intent in his eyes.

In Zhuang Long's view, anyone who opposes his demon clan must die. Since Lin Chen killed his demon clan genius, he will naturally not let Lin Chen go. Now that Lin Chen is trapped there and unable to move, he will not miss this good opportunity to kill Lin Chen.

Zhuang Long continued to move forward. Like Di Han, he encountered an illusion before he took a few steps forward. Death Valley is full of illusions. No one dares to be sure that he will not encounter an illusion. Similarly, Zhuang Long is not a god, and he has no way to predict whether there is an illusion ahead. However, Zhuang Long is a genius after all. This level of illusion has almost no effect on him. He only needs to spend some time to pass through the illusion.

But when Zhuang Long came out of the illusion, Xia Zong had already left him dozens of meters away.

"We can't let him enter the third floor first."

Zhuang Long was shocked. If he continued like this, Xia Zong might reach the third floor earlier than him. Although he would enter the third floor later, a moment would be enough for Xia Zong to do a lot of things. I'm afraid that by then Xia Zong would have obtained the fragments of the secret book. With his strength, it would not be so easy to snatch the fragments of the secret book from Xia Zong. The fact that Xia Zong ranked 19th on the Earth List was enough to show his strength.

Zhuang Long thought he was quite strong, but compared with Xia Zong, he was still weaker. In this case, he naturally had no way to take the fragments of the secret book from Xia Zong.

At this moment, there were more than a hundred people in the Death Valley. The rest of the Bao Yuan Realm masters either withdrew from the Death Valley or lost their minds in the illusion. In the end, they were eroded by a large number of death mysteries and died in a foreign land.

Among this group of Bao Yuan Realm masters, it was not that whoever was stronger would be faster. After all, there were illusions everywhere in the Death Valley, and no one could be sure that they would not encounter illusions. Of course, the stronger the strength and the more tenacious the will, the faster the walking speed would be than others.

Because of this, except for Lin Chen, who walked in the front at the beginning but stood still, Xia Zong was the fastest. After Xia Zong, it was Zhuang Long and Di Han, and then Xu Yibai and many other geniuses. As for Jin Yuxing, whose strength was also at the top among them, because he kept encountering illusions, his speed was slower than some mid-stage Baoyuan Realm masters.

Time passed little by little. After half a quarter of an hour and encountering several illusions, Xia Zong finally arrived at the bend of the Death Valley, not far to the left of Lin Chen.

"Hmm?" Before, because he was a distance away from Lin Chen, and because the death mystery in the Death Valley was extremely rich and he was worried about the danger of illusions, Xia Zong did not find the strangeness of Lin Chen. Now that he was close to Lin Chen, he found that something was wrong with Lin Chen.

He found that the time sword intent on Lin Chen's body was constantly surging under the pressure of the death mystery, forming a series of illusory lines. Under the continuous compression, the time sword intent actually began to condense, and the momentum was also strengthened a lot, which was clearly a sign of advancement.

"Lin Chen did not encounter an illusion, but he actually advanced to the Time Sword Intent at this time." Xia Zong looked surprised. Death Valley was so dangerous. Everyone was worried about encountering an illusion, which would lead to losing their minds in the illusion, but Lin Chen was not worried at all. On the contrary, he actually advanced to the Time Sword Intent in the Death Valley. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would not be able to do it.

Even if he saw that his Time Sword Intent was about to break through, he would restrain himself and wait until he walked out of the Death Valley before breaking through. After all, the Death Valley was too dangerous, and no one would joke with their own lives.

Xia Zong looked at Lin Chen deeply, and then walked forward. He was indeed surprised that Lin Chen chose to advance to the Time Sword Intent at this time, but his purpose was to snatch the Secret Book Fragments after all. He must enter the third level as soon as possible, kill the blood evil with the Secret Book Fragments in his body, and get the Secret Book Fragments. He didn't have extra time to stay here.
