The leader of this group of soldiers was a mighty and majestic man wearing dark blue heavy armor. He was the head of the city guards and was a powerful figure who was only one step away from becoming an Ancestor of a Path. His name was Heng Zhan. "Next, I will take you to the Secret Realm of Trial." Heng Zhan's cold eyes were like lightning, and he waved the bronze halberd in his hand. An astonishing bolt of lightning, the void exploded, and an ancient and mottled dao altar appeared in front of everyone with a rumbling sound. A huge divine light swept out from Heng Zhan's hand, pierced through the void, and tore a wide space vortex on the dao altar, leading to the unknown. The powerful and intimidating Heng Zhan was the first to step onto the dao altar along with his group of heavily armored soldiers. Then, over six hundred other Emperors who were participating in the trial entered one after another. Watching them leave one by one, Heng Tianshuo's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he murmured in his heart, "Ling Xuanzi, if you violate the order of the city, then you will pay the price of death..." The void shifted, and the stars began to turn. Walking in the space vortex from the altar was like going back in time. Every step one took was going towards the ancient times. An aura of antiquity hit everyone in the face, and they all felt that the spacetime in this vortex was in disorder. It was as if they had experienced the passing of countless years within an instant. In front of their eyes were glimpses of various elegant eras. They were colorful and magnificent arcs of light. Occasionally, one could see star fields flying beyond them. No one knew how much time had passed, but everyone was shocked when they were spat out of the vortex, arriving at a cold expanse of space. "Is this the 'Land of Exile'?" Someone exclaimed that at the edge of the universe. There was an extremely huge world that was shaped like an isolated island lying in the depths of the starry sky. Sporadically, it would release the aura of antiquity. From time to time, a bright and huge star would fall into that huge world as if being pulled into it, and then disappear in the blink of an eye, as if it was swallowed up. That star was humongous, but in front of that huge world, it was like a mere bug that was being swallowed up casually. This strange scene made countless people feel their hearts drop to their stomachs. This was the Secret Realm of Trial, also known as the Land of Exile! "It is said that this world was originally a kingdom of gods in the last epoch. It was inhabited by gods and many incredible mythological figures." Someone whispered, "But with the end of that epoch, this kingdom of gods suffered from unprecedented blows and destruction. Now, it is regarded as a land of exile that is hated by gods and ghosts." "I have also heard that, since ancient times, many immortals have entered it to explore the mysteries of the last epoch, but without exception, they all fell there." A Ninth Realm Ancestor said solemnly, "The reason is that the Land of Exile is full of strange disasters that deliberately target immortals. Anyone who enters will die. Only those in the Emperor Stage will not have to worry about encountering such strange disasters." Everyone was talking about what they knew, and it was obvious that they had heard about many things related to this Secret Realm of Trial. The leader of the guards. Heng Zhan, guided everyone as they flew through space. Before long, they quickly arrived at the mysterious world in the distance. Just then, a huge star passed by with an enormous burning tail behind it as it fell into that world. In the blink of an eye, it was as if it had been swallowed and disappeared! This scene of the world swallowing another star made the crowd restless again. This mysterious Land of Exile had existed since the end of the last epoch and had experienced the countless passing of years. Naturally, it exuded an unknown and mysterious atmosphere. "You should all know that this Secret Realm of Trial is divided into nine major areas, each of which is full of different dangers. What you have to do is to collect star sources and then survive." Heng Zhan continued, his voice rumbling like thunder, "Remember, you only have one month." As soon as he finished, someone took the lead to rush out, move through the void, and bolt into the Secret Realm of Trial. Immediately afterwards, other people rushed out one after another, and almost all of them were traveling in groups. No one retreated or hesitated. They were all powerful experts who had experienced countless battles and had gone through the arduous path of becoming an Emperor. Whether it was in terms of state of mind or courage, they were all extraordinary. Divine lights glowed, and Feng Junlin and his party also set out, attracting many sidelong glances. In addition, Lin Xun also noticed that there were many powerful experts who were not inferior to Feng Junlin in terms of temperament and power. Some were on green gourds as huge as ships, wearing daoist robes with large sleeves fluttering. When they opened and closed their eyes, the area around them was filled with primal chaos qi. Some looked as if they were carved from flawless marble with graceful demeanors and were bathed in the holy divine light, resembling figures from a dream. With every step they took, golden dao lotuses would bloom under their feet. Some were assembled fierce gods or demons with cold eyes like knives. They whipped up a monstrous and fierce aura as they swept across the starry sky, fierce and boundless. Some of them even looked weak and ordinary at first glance, but when they walked, they were in harmony with heaven and earth, resonating with the dao, and there were faint dao chanting sounds emanating from them. Almost everyone was at least a supreme eighth realm Emperor. Although their powers were different, they all had an invincible and arrogant demeanor. It was impossible for Lin Xun not to pay attention to them. That was until he saw Wen Shaoheng leaving with a group of other Emperors. Lin Xun couldn't help but be surprised by this. After all, other experts such as Grandma Xue, who had previously followed Wen Shaoheng, had all been killed by him. Despite that, Wen Shaoheng had somehow gotten another posse of Emperors to follow him, which seemed a bit inconceivable. However, for Lin Xun, the fact that Wen Shaoheng was also participating in the trial was good enough for him. Because this time, he would not give the other party a chance to leave alive! Soon, Lin Xun also took action as he moved through the void, and soared away. This schmuck probably doesn't know that once he enters the Secret Realm of Trial, a dead end awaits him... When he saw Lin Xun also move forward, Heng Zhan's eyes showed a trace of barely perceptible pity. Soon, all the cultivators who were participating in the trial had disappeared in the Secret Realm of Trial. This was a primal world full of wilderness with high skies and vast clouds and towering ancient peaks and tall mountains everywhere. However, there was not a single blade of grass here, resulting in a dry and desolate scene. No breath of the dao! It was like a ruined world that was left behind in the destruction of endless years. The void rippled, and Lin Xun appeared. The first thing he saw was such a desolate and primitive world. However, before he could take a closer look, there was a sudden change—Boom! A peerless and sharp divine arrow tore through the sky, suddenly bursting out from the void on one side. It was incredibly fast. Lin Xun waved his sleeves, and with a bang, the divine arrow exploded three feet in front of him, and particles of light rain fell. Unfortunately, this was just the beginning. Then, the ground suddenly collapsed, and countless dense and bright sword qi swept out. At the same time, from the southeast, northwest, and northeast of Lin Xun, terrifying attacks roared towards him. There was a golden divine whip that smashed through the void, resembling a golden dragon coming out of the abyss. There was a glittering jade ruyi shuttling through the sky. It reflected the phantoms of sacred mountains, covering the sky and the sun. There were bronze bells rumbling, bowls emitting thousands of feet of rosy clouds, and axes that split the void and chopped down angrily... In an instant, all directions were completely covered by a terrifying offensive power. Each technique being activated was extremely terrifying. Each Emperor-grade weapon flashed with a brilliance that could destroy the world. When all of this burst out at the same time, it looked as if Lin Xun and the stretch of area he was standing on were going to be wiped out! It was too terrifying and happened too quickly. Who would have imagined that such a disaster would come upon them just after entering the trial ground? Furthermore, after being ambushed with no warning, even Lin Xun had no way to retreat or avoid it. Despite that, there were very little fluctuations in his expression. The only change that was visible was that his eyes had become extremely cold. Suddenly, the Limitless Abyss Sword Cauldron roared out, shining brightly, flowing with billions of lights, and evolving into a great abyss that spanned the world. Then, Lin Xun jumped up and charged in one direction, releasing all his dao to the utmost. There was no need to hold back! Being surrounded was not scary to him. He just needed to seize a target and kill it as soon as possible. This world was in turmoil, completely chaotic. Many terrifying powers and treasures covered that stretch of space, destroying that area directly. The violent aura of destruction raged, and the nearby thousands of miles of mountains and rivers were razed to the ground in an instant. The void acted like paper as it was being easily crushed to pieces. A voice sounded in the smoke and dust, "What's going on?" "He should be dead..." sounded another low voice in the nearby area. "Let's fight together. Not to mention a supreme sixth realm Emperor, I'm afraid we can easily kill any Ninth Realm Ancestor." A quiet conversation sounded, and one figure after another appeared in the rolling smoke and dust, and their auras were extremely terrifying. There were more than twenty people present! Where Lin Xun was originally, a huge gully had been blasted out, bottomless, and it was filled with a torrent of destruction, raging and roaring. "Haha, with the full-strength attack we had been planning for a long time, isn't it easy to kill this guy?" A skinny old man smiled and twisted his beard. He held a shining ancient seal in his hand, which was extremely powerful. He was a Ninth Realm Ancestor. "No, something’s off. If Ling Xuanzi is dead, where are the spoils?” Someone interjected with surprise, "Could it be..." The skinny old man holding the ancient seal was also startled and was about to release his spirit sense to investigate. At this moment, a large slender hand appeared out of thin air, immediately grabbed the skinny old man's neck and twisted it gently. A head was snapped off, and blood spurted out like a spring, dyeing the void red. Immediately afterwards, the skinny old man's figure was shattered, turning into countless pieces of flesh and blood that fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, these pieces of flesh and blood were incinerated one by one, turning into a burst of pungent and smelly smoke. In addition, where the skinny old man was originally standing, a tall figure had appeared out of thin air.
