Chapter 5867: Madness

"What's going on?"

"What is that thing?"

"Am I dead, or are we all dead?"

In the first round just now, including Liu Minghao and others, everyone was sent out, and powerful individuals like Liu Minghao and Liu Qingyu only lasted half a breath longer than others.

Seeing this scene, Liu Rujiao couldn't help but sigh. Long Chen was right. The geniuses of the Undying Clan, though powerful, were of no use. They lived a beggarly life despite possessing immense strength, not knowing how to utilize their power effectively and turn it into real killing potential.

In the face of absolute death, they appeared so fragile. Even powerful individuals like Liu Minghao and Liu Qingyu were no different. In the face of death, all beings were equal. Some even stronger individuals were more panicky, dying even faster.

Facing the horrified and fearful looks of Liu Qingyu and others, Liu Rujiao put away her previous arrogance and coldness, instead becoming much gentler and more serene, saying:

"This is Long Chen's path of cultivation. Those fierce enemies inside are the souls that died at Long Chen's hands. Their techniques have been imitated by this divine tree, recorded in the world of the divine tree. Here in the divine tree's world, we will undergo the first transformation of our lives."

Upon hearing Liu Rujiao's words, Liu Qingyu and others were astounded. "They all died at Long Chen's hands?"

"Don't be surprised, and don't doubt. The enemies you encountered were all taken care of by Long Chen. Also, here's some unpleasant news: the divine tree space is divided into seven layers, with difficulty increasing progressively. This is only the fifth layer," Liu Rujiao explained.

The divine tree space was a name given by Liu Rujiao herself. Long Chen did not tell her the name of the Seven Treasure Crystal Glass Tree; it wasn't convenient for people to know that name.

Upon hearing Liu Rujiao's words, the people felt uneasy. They knew Liu Rujiao wouldn't lie to them. They were peerless geniuses, powerful figures of the Undying Clan, yet here, they were so vulnerable, causing a severe blow to their confidence.

"Don't be sad. What you're experiencing is what I went through initially. Long Chen said that without experiencing the pain and struggle inside the cocoon, one cannot achieve the brilliant success of turning into a butterfly. One reaps what they sow in cultivation. There are no shortcuts, and even if there are, they will come at a cost. In her words, we've taken too many shortcuts, so we need to use the trial of death to temper our foundations, souls, and will. Although it's painful, you've also seen the results," Liu Rujiao said proudly.

"Undying Clan warriors fear neither death nor pain. Rujiao, continue. As long as I don't die, push me to the limit. I'm going to the seventh layer!" Liu Qingyu roared with enthusiasm.

Thinking about how Liu Rujiao had elevated her combat strength so terrifyingly in just ten days, everyone's blood was boiling. They were no longer afraid but rather eager.

"Undying Clan warriors, let's charge together." Liu Rujiao issued a resolute command, and the brilliance of the Seven Treasure Crystal Glass Tree enveloped everyone once again.

In the Seven Treasure space, slaughter was endless. Various creatures, like evil gods and demons, unleashed their most fierce and ruthless moves from the start. Many of these creatures seemed weak, but their techniques were fierce, powerful, and shockingly lethal. Moreover, they showed no fear of death, making their destructive power extremely terrifying.

If it were one or two, it would be manageable, but these creatures surged like a tide, overwhelming everyone. The strong of the Undying Clan couldn't resist at all. Despite Liu Qingyu releasing his powerful moves frantically, a sword qi pierced through his head, and he was kicked out of the Seven Treasure space.

"I..."

Liu Qingyu was killed. Enraged, he cursed loudly but didn't rest, roaring and entering the Seven Treasure space again. He happened to see the swordsman slaughtering the Undying Clan's powerful individuals.

Seeing the disciples of the Undying Clan shattered by the sword qi and turning into white light, he couldn't contain his anger. He rushed towards the swordsman.

However, just as he approached from behind, ready to launch a sneak attack, the swordsman swung his sword without looking back.

"Pu!"

Liu Qingyu was instantly split into two by the sword. When Liu Qingyu was killed, he heard Liu Rujiao's resentful voice from a distance, "Fool, you can't sneak attack a swordsman."

"I don't believe it!"

Liu Qingyu roared and entered the Seven Treasure space again. Just as he confirmed the position of the swordsman and was about to attack, a cold wind swept over his neck. Goosebumps appeared all over his body, and then, with a cold feeling on his neck, his head rotated, and he saw his own headless corpse.

"I..."

Liu Qingyu was kicked out of the Seven Treasure space again. His long hair stood on end, his eyes were red, and he was almost going crazy. Nevertheless, he rushed into the Seven Treasure space again.

"Pu pu pu..."

Liu Qingyu was proud, but he was unwilling. However, in the Seven Treasure space, he had no chance to display his violent strength. He was killed confusedly many times, not even knowing who killed him.

Liu Qingyu roared repeatedly. Although Liu Minghao and others were not much stronger than him, they were sent out dozens of times in the blink of an eye. Liu Minghao was also ignited with anger.

But he was steadier than Liu Qingyu. He had been contemplating the attack methods of these powerful beings and thinking about his own shortcomings. He constantly changed his fighting style to adapt to this chaotic group battle.

In the Seven Treasure space, their fighting styles seemed monotonous and childish, facing those terrifying creatures, they were merely slaughtered. As the leader of the Undying Clan, Liu Minghao not only had immense strength but also had great insight and analytical abilities. In just the time it takes to burn an incense stick, he gradually grasped a bit of the rhythm of the battle, managing to last a breath's time in the Seven Treasure space.

Seeing this scene, Liu Rujiao couldn't help but sigh. Liu Minghao was the real genius. She couldn't compare at all, and Liu Qingyu was even more foolish, lacking any sense.

Entering the Seven Treasure space, Liu Rujiao constantly avoided various attacks, occasionally counterattacking and killing the attackers. Her task was to nurture everyone's growth, preventing some from being too severely affected and falling into despair.

Watching Liu Minghao grow rapidly, Liu Rujiao's heart was also burning. She knew that there was a huge treasure in this divine tree space. Unfortunately, her appetite was too small. If Liu Minghao ate more, the Undying Clan would become stronger. She wished everyone could squeeze the value of the divine tree space dry.

"Great warriors of the Undying Clan, you must work hard. This opportunity is too rare."

...

While the Undying Clan

's powerful individuals were desperately assaulting the Seven Treasure space, Long Chen wasn't idle. He stood in the great hall.

Above the Dragon Clan, divine light trembled, dragon patterns undulated, and divine light enveloped Long Chen. A sacred aura filled the entire hall.
