Lu Chen glanced up at the boundless void above, a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes, he didn't let his guard down because he eliminated those two phantoms.

In the past few days, Lu Chen tried to fly upwards, but after flying to a certain height, he was blocked by a mysterious enchantment, and he could not fly to the height of the stone bridge at all.

Lu Chen had no choice but to continue walking forward.

Time passed slowly, and Lu Chen forgot how far he had come, and the long period of caution and vigilance made him tired.

However, the road was calm, but there was no danger, not only did there be no trace of any spirit beast, but even the phantom did not appear again.

However, Lu Chen's vigilance did not decrease by half a point, and he understood that the slightest carelessness could lead to his fall.

On this day, Lu Chen had just raised his leg and taken a few steps, a strong sense of crisis surged into his heart, without the slightest hesitation, his figure quickly retreated, and at the same time, he triggered the fourth-order spirit rune in his hand, and the spirit rune burst open, immediately forming a defensive light curtain in front of him.

At the moment when Lu Chen's body retreated, a spatial crack suddenly appeared where he was standing.

The layer of light that the spirit rune turned into trembled suddenly, and Lu Chen took the opportunity to flash to the side, seeing the slowly disappearing spatial crack, Lu Chen couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

Lu Chen's face was slightly gloomy, it was obvious that this spatial rift appeared suddenly, and it was extremely dangerous, and the defensive light curtain of the fourth-order spirit rune could only hold on for one breath, which showed that the power of the spatial rift had reached at least one blow from the Great Perfection Cultivator.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen's heart sank, if he was accidentally touched by a spatial crack, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.

Lu Chen hurriedly turned out all the defensive magic weapons in the storage ring, these things were the trophies he obtained after he flew to the spirit realm to kill people, in addition to the more than thirty pieces that had exploded against the enemy before, there were more than a hundred and ten pieces at this moment.

Without hesitation, Lu Chen threw out a spiritual weapon in the four directions of the front, back, left and right, and immediately, his body and these four spiritual weapons slowly moved forward together.

This time, Lu Chen was more careful than just now.

Suddenly, the spiritual weapon directly in front of him disappeared strangely, and then a spatial crack in the size of several zhang appeared, Lu Chen immediately retreated, and at this moment, the spiritual weapon behind him also disappeared inexplicably.

Lu Chen's brows furrowed slightly, which meant that at this moment, there were spatial cracks in front of and behind him.

Lu Chen's body hurriedly flashed to the left, and at the same time, he controlled more than thirty defensive magic weapons to form a defensive layer.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a clattering sound, and the defense layer shattered at a rapid speed.

Lu Chen's eyes showed a look of horror, and he threw out several fourth-order spirit runes, and at the same time immediately used the magic power of shrinking the ground into inches, which narrowly avoided this spatial crack more than ten zhang in size.

Lu Chen stood dozens of feet away, his back was already wet with cold sweat, if it weren't for those spiritual weapons that resisted him a little, he would have been swallowed up by the gap in the space at this moment, and he would have died.

Pressing the fear in his heart, Lu Chen once again scattered some defensive magic weapons and moved forward cautiously.

Seven days passed quickly, and at this moment, except for the Zhenxian Pagoda, the mysterious painting scroll, the black broken sword and the ink bamboo sword in the sea of knowledge, all the other spiritual weapons, even the fourth-order rune pen used to draw talismans, were also used by him to defend against the gaps in the space.

In the past seven days, Lu Chen had experienced several life-and-death crises, and if he hadn't relied on the remaining few fourth-order defensive spirit runes, I am afraid that he would have been engulfed by the spatial gap.

On this day, Lu Chen, who was forced to be helpless, gritted his teeth, and sacrificed the Mozhu Sword quite heartbrokenly, but he didn't have time to sigh, Lu Chen controlled the Mozhu Sword to fly forward slowly.

It's just that to Lu Chen's surprise, he didn't encounter any spatial cracks throughout the day.

In the next few days, Lu Chen, who was no longer threatened by the spatial rift, moved faster and faster.

However, Lu Chen was extremely cautious from beginning to end, and every time he moved forward, he would let the Mozhu Sword investigate first.

Half a month later, a cyan gate more than ten feet high appeared in front of him.

Looking at the gate, Lu Chen's right hand condensed a palm print and blasted towards the gate.

Driven by the palm print, with a bang, the door slowly opened.

From the outside, inside the gate was a completely dark void.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, but still decided to step into the gate, he guessed that the inside of the gate should be the first level of the secret realm.

With a decision in his heart, Lu Chen did not hesitate and rushed directly into the gate.

Suddenly, a bright spot appeared in front of Lu Chen.

The long darkness made it take Lu Chen a while to get used to the world with normal light in front of him.

There was a scorching sun hanging in the sky, and the ground was an endless earthy yellow desert, and countless huge cacti could be vaguely seen in the desert, and at the same time, a hurricane swept the sand and slowly moved forward.

Lu Chen did not move forward immediately, but stared at this desert for a long time.

Suddenly, Lu Chen understood why Hu Qingwen invited the Han Cao Lei to come with him, Cao Lei is proficient in the art of escape, which is of great help to get through this desert.

It's just that the situation is a little different from what Lu Chen guessed, the last time Hu Qingwen and the others stepped into the desert, everyone was not separated. And this time, after the five of them entered, they found that although they were all in the desert, they were missing the other people, and it was obvious that the mysterious force had once again changed the rules of this first level.

Taking a deep breath, Lu Chen took his first step in the desert, and as soon as he took a step, a tyrannical wind howled.

Lu Chen casually condensed a spiritual power light shield, and the sand that was swept by the wind hit the light mask, banging, obviously with great strength.

Lu Chen's step was to shrink the ground into an inch, and the whole person disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he was already miles away.

At this moment, more than ten zhang away from Lu Chen, there is a huge cactus, about twenty zhang high.

When Lu Chen walked five zhang away from it, he was surprised to find that all those overwhelming winds avoided when they approached the cactus, and a faint mysterious aura emanated from the cactus.

This scene made Lu Chen vaguely speculate that these cacti in the desert should be the only safe place in this first level.

Lu Chen left the cactus and took another step forward.

This time, Lu Chen found that there was a mysterious resistance in the entire space, preventing him from using his magic power to shrink into inches, but fortunately, the resistance was not large, and Lu Chen's spiritual power in his body resisted a little, and he survived.

Soon, Lu Chen came to the second cactus, which was much taller than the previous one, about forty zhang high.

At this moment, tens of thousands of miles away in front of Lu Chen, under a cactus about a thousand zhang high, an old man was sitting there with a gloomy face, it was the poisonous demon Zhao Hezhen, his whole face was gray, and he looked quite embarrassed.

The old man looked helpless, a few months ago, after the five of them passed through the stone bridge, a spiritual power vortex appeared, and after passing through the whirlpool, they came to this desert.

Originally, everyone was ready to work together to pass this hurdle. Five people shot at the same time, and this first level naturally didn't pose a threat to them, so they could save their strength and save it for the second level.

Unfortunately, the world is impermanent, and they only found that they were separated from each other after entering the desert.

The desert was boundless, they didn't know where the others were, and the idea of joining forces to pass through was instantly extinguished, and everyone began the process of breaking alone.

And the poison demon Zhao He was really the most unlucky, he was teleported to the farthest end of the desert, so it was undoubtedly much more difficult to enter the core area of the desert than the other four.

Zhao Hezhen found that the rules for passing through this desert had completely changed, and the last time, they could fly in the air, and although there was an overwhelming hurricane, they could still pass safely.

This time, not only

Hurricanes are even more dangerous, and after traveling thousands of miles, a flying scorpion appears in the desert, and its sound can also be transformed into a Genshin attack, which is very nerve-wracking.

At the beginning, there were not many such scorpions, and Zhao Hezhen didn't take it to heart, so he let his black python make a move, and he easily killed it. But what I didn't expect was that these scorpions were social creatures, and after killing them, a wave of them poured out from the ground.

Just now, he and the black python teamed up to kill tens of thousands of scorpions, and just after walking far, more than 100,000 scorpions emerged from the ground again.

Zhao Hezhen began to pay attention to it at this time, and after killing the 100,000 scorpions, hundreds of thousands appeared, followed by more than 1 million.

Zhao Hezhen and the black python rushed out of the encirclement of more than a million scorpions after paying the price of exhausting the spiritual power of their whole body, and finally found this cactus of more than 1,000 zhang and hid.

At this moment, a trace of despair flashed in Zhao Hezhen's eyes, with his and the Black Python's cultivation of the Great Perfection, he also killed a little nervously, he knew that after killing these more than a million scorpions, maybe more scorpions would emerge from the ground.

Although the threat of these scorpions is not great alone, once the number exceeds 10 million, the sonic attack they send out can instantly shatter the monk's primordial spirit.

......

Lu Chen's face showed a hint of confusion, he had already traveled thousands of miles, but except for a few hurricanes, he had not encountered any danger. It's just that the resistance in the space is getting bigger and bigger, so that every time he casts the ground into inches, the distance he crosses is not too far, and he also scores half of his spiritual power to resist this resistance.

On this day, Lu Chen appeared under a cactus, which was about more than 100 zhang high.

After resting for half an hour, Lu Chen continued to hurry.

Time passed little by little, and half a month later, the height of the cactus had reached more than 600 zhang.

Lu Chen took one step, and at this moment, the resistance in the space was even greater, and Lu Chen needed to divide seventy percent of the spiritual resistance in order to exert the magic power of shrinking the ground into inches.

In the next moment, Lu Chen walked forward for more than ten miles, and suddenly, Lu Chen stopped his right foot that he was about to take, and found that there was a trace of fishy smell coming from the sand under his feet.

Lu Chen sacrificed the ink bamboo sword, and after injecting a spiritual power, a huge sword shadow appeared in the air.

Lu Chen snorted lightly, "Hurry!"

Suddenly, the shadow of the sword slashed towards the desert, and the sand and soil lifted up layer by layer, revealing countless pitch-black scorpion corpses.

Lu Chen squatted down and saw that this kind of scorpion was not big, only the size of a fist, but it was a little different from ordinary scorpions, that is, it had a thin pair of wings.

Lu Chen's divine sense dispersed, and there were no less than 10,000 scorpion corpses in the sand, and all of them died of severe poison in their bodies.

Lu Chen's face showed a hint of jealousy, he wasn't sure how many people were in front of him, but the poisonous demon Zhao He was definitely there.

Looking at the corpses of these scorpions, Lu Chen was secretly vigilant in his heart, and took the next step towards another cactus in the distance.

An hour later, Lu Chen saw the cactus from a distance.

At this moment, Lu Chen noticed that there was movement under the ground hundreds of zhang away from him, and sure enough, after a few breaths, layers of sand were suddenly lifted, and thousands of scorpions flew out.

These scorpions did not immediately rush towards Lu Chen, but suddenly hissed in unison.

These sharp voices fused together in a strange way, turning into a Yuan Shen sword, stabbing fiercely towards Lu Chen's Yuan Shen.

The moment the Yuan Shen Sword flew in, the Thunder Fire Origin Seedling within Lu Chen's Yuan Shen erupted with a dazzling light, firmly enveloping Lu Chen's Yuan Shen, so that as soon as the Yuan Shen Sword transformed by these scorpion sound waves arrived, it collapsed.

The ink bamboo sword in Lu Chen's hand flew out and turned into a huge sword shadow, slashing towards these scorpions.

Soon, half of the scorpions' bodies shattered under the sword, and the other half fled in a hurry.
