In a simulated life scenario, how do you defy fate and change your destiny every time?

Over the East China Sea.

The moment the old man appeared.

The once terrifying tsunami was now evaporated by the raging sea of ​​fire, leaving not a single drop of seawater behind.

Seeing this scene, everyone present was stunned and speechless for a long time, as if witnessing a miracle.

After a long time.

Then someone exclaimed in surprise, revealing the old man's origins.

"The raging flames are burning my mangled body! This is a half-step Heavenly Mandate Grandmaster from the Divine Fire Sect!"

"Why would a powerful figure from the Divine Fire Sect appear here? Could it be that the Great Li Dynasty has secretly sided with the Divine Fire Sect?"

"Although the Great Li Dynasty is far from the Holy Land, it now has many great religions and holy lands, and all kinds of sects are spreading their teachings like crazy."

"I'm afraid that in a while, even small fish and shrimp like us will find it hard to stay out of it."

The crowd's expressions shifted, their tones complex.

The Divine Fire Sect has a profound foundation and numerous powerful figures within its ranks, making it one of the most powerful sects in the world.

Faced with such a behemoth, even a powerful dynasty like the Great Li could only drift along with the tide and could not resist this overwhelming force.

And above the sky.

The massive tsunami evaporated into thin air, leaving only raging crimson flames.

But just then.

A dark cloud suddenly flew out from the depths of the East China Sea and appeared in front of everyone in an instant.

Dark clouds surged, demonic energy billowed, and numerous powerful demons stood side by side, causing the expressions of all the powerful figures present to become extremely solemn.

Because the demon standing at the very front of the black clouds was none other than a genuine Heavenly Fate Realm Demon King!
"This is what a being of the Destiny level is like?"

This was the first time Lu Yuan had ever seen a true expert at the Heavenly Fate Realm since his reincarnation.

in his perception.

That giant crocodile demon king not only had a powerful physical body, but its soul was also indestructible. Even if it left its body, it could easily wander through the void.

If you use your divine sense to 'see'...

Lu Yuan could even vaguely see that behind the Giant Crocodile Demon King, there stood a phantom of a dragon-blooded giant crocodile that was thousands of feet tall.

The phantom of the giant crocodile was a manifestation of his divine power, signifying that he had reached an extremely profound level in terms of mental will.

Its divine soul is incredibly powerful, no weaker than that of human cultivators!
"Whether they are human or demon, those who can reach the Heavenly Mandate realm are geniuses among geniuses, with almost no obvious weaknesses in any aspect."

Seeing the phantom of the giant crocodile, Lu Yuan finally had a more direct understanding of the terrifying power of the Heavenly Mandate expert.

No wonder the patriarch of the Tai Xuan Sect and that person from the Da Li royal family were willing to go to great lengths to reach the Heavenly Fate Realm.

For powerful beings destined by destiny, other low-level cultivators are pitifully weak. Even Nirvana experts who have undergone a life sublimation may not be able to withstand a casual blow from them!
However, even among those destined for greatness, there are differences in strength.

Despite the terrifying strength of the giant crocodile demon king before them, it was still somewhat inferior to the Lingxu Venerable who left behind the divine mandate.

Master Lingxu's cultivation is so profound that he is only half a step away from the realm of emptiness.

The Lingxu Cave he left behind bears the imprint of a portion of the Void Dao Laws, which have no effect on low-level cultivators.

However, if a powerful being were to rashly touch it, their entire life's cultivation would likely vanish into nothingness!

This is why the Lingxu Cave has existed for so many years, yet no one has ever been able to decipher it.

"This is the territory of my East Sea Demon Clan. It's not your place, Divine Fire Sect, to run wild here!"

The demon king had the head of a crocodile and the body of a human, with vertical pupils and its entire body covered in hard scales, exuding a terrifying demonic aura.

Simply by standing there, he caused the sea of ​​fire to shake violently, like a candle flickering in the wind, as if it could be extinguished at any moment.

Then, looking at the azure dragon bound by chains and used by the Dali royal family to pull it, a flash of anger appeared in his eyes.

"How dare you humiliate my East Sea demon clan? Are you tired of living?"

He extended a crocodile claw and made a light slash.

The chains binding the azure dragon snapped instantly, freeing it once more!
"Thank you for your help, Crocodile King!"

The azure dragon spoke in human language, its face showing gratitude. It then soared into the air and returned to the demon race's camp.

The powerful members of the Dali royal family could only watch helplessly as the dragon broke free, but dared not interfere in the slightest.

The demon race of the East Sea is unfathomable, and in terms of strength, it is not even inferior to those major sects and orthodox traditions.

Now that they've even mobilized the Heavenly Mandate Demon King, who would dare to provoke them?

"Your East Sea demons are so aggressive, do you perhaps intend to become enemies with my Divine Fire Sect?"

The old man in the red robe turned ashen-faced and shouted sternly.

"What a load of bull! If your sect leader were here in person, I might be a little more wary. But you, a mere ordinary deacon, dare to spout such nonsense in front of me?"

The giant crocodile demon king snorted coldly, not taking the red-robed old man seriously at all.

The red-robed elder was publicly humiliated, and his face turned extremely ugly. He wanted to get angry several times, but when he sensed the other party's Heavenly Fate Realm cultivation, he could only swallow his anger in the end.

The Divine Fire Sect's influence extends throughout the Origin Saint Realm; however, their branch stronghold in the Great Li Dynasty is only guarded by a single powerful figure, insufficient to contend with the East Sea Demon Clan.

Fortunately, the old man in red robes was, after all, a disciple of the Divine Fire Sect, and the giant crocodile demon king was unwilling to rashly become an enemy of the Divine Fire Sect. Therefore, he only uttered a few harsh words and did not push too hard.

For a while.

The atmosphere was tense, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate.

But it didn't take long.

With a deafening cracking sound, the spatial passage above the East China Sea finally opened completely.

The sky was ablaze with rosy light, and auspicious omens filled the air.

An extremely rich spiritual energy emanated from within the secret realm, giving everyone a jolt of excitement and filling them with immense joy.

However, the giant crocodile demon king, the red-robed old man, and all the half-step Heavenly Fate experts present all changed their expressions slightly and retreated ten miles away as if avoiding snakes and scorpions before they could regain their footing.

Because the Void Dao Laws contained in the Spirit Void Cave are too terrifying, capable of confusing truth and falsehood and distorting reality.

If they get too close, their Dao hearts might be affected.

As for Han Qingxuan and the other cultivators present, they had not yet reached the level of contact with the laws of heaven and earth, so they would not be affected by the laws of the Void Dao.

"This law... is somewhat similar to the power of the God of Illusion. Although it is less than one billionth of the power of the divine law, the two are from the same source."

Sensing the aura of the Void Dao Law, Lu Yuan's heart stirred slightly, and he pondered to himself.

According to the will of the gods.

The Sacred Realm of the Origin does not exist in the world; it is merely a false world built by the God of Deception using lies and illusions.

However, if everyone believes that the Holy Realm of the Origin is real, then this world will transform from a false world into a real one!

The God of Illusion can also take this opportunity to condense his original divine spark, thereby greatly increasing his own strength. "In that case, the so-called laws of the illusory path are actually the power of the God of Illusion."

Lu Yuan seemed to have grasped something.

Just as he was pondering, the giant crocodile demon king roared.

"The entrance to the secret realm has been opened. Enter immediately!"

The voice just fell.

The demon race prodigies above the dark cloud immediately transformed into streaks of light, rushing to enter the spatial passage.

Seeing this, the other human prodigies were not to be outdone and used their own methods to catch up, fearing that they would fall behind the demon race by even half a step.

"Junior Brother Lu Yuan, let's set off too."

Seeing this, Luo Xin's face showed a hint of anxiety, worried that she would fall behind the others.

"No rush. The Lingxu Cave is located in a secret realm, which is extremely vast. Even if they go ahead, they may not gain anything."

"Instead of blindly seizing the initiative, it's better to let them explore and draw the fire of the ferocious beasts in the secret realm."

Lu Yuan, on the other hand, seemed quite composed and did not rush to the secret realm.

Natural treasures belong to the powerful.

Even if the first group of people who entered were lucky enough to acquire many treasures in the secret realm, they still wouldn't be able to hold onto the opportunity they had obtained if they didn't have enough strength.

“Lu Yuan is right. The secret passage will last for half a day. You don’t need to be in such a hurry.”

Han Qingxuan nodded slightly, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.

He then changed the subject and patiently explained some precautions to everyone again.

"After entering the secret realm, you can stay inside for a maximum of three months. Once the time is up, no matter how much you gain, you must return to the outside world in time."

"Otherwise, once trapped inside, they will be strangled by the laws of the Void Dao, and even those at the Nirvana Realm will find it difficult to survive!"

Although he had already mentioned these things once on the way here.

However, based on past experience, there are always a few disciples who are eager for quick success and instant benefits, and are easily blinded by the gains in the secret realm, so much so that they accidentally forget the time.

"This disciple will certainly follow the sect leader's instructions."

Upon hearing this, Luo Xin and the others were all shocked and kept the matter firmly in mind.

"Alright, they've almost all gone in. You can set off now."

"Disciple, obey."

As soon as Han Qingxuan finished speaking, Luo Xin and the other three true disciples could no longer contain their excitement and immediately soared into the sky and stepped into the passage.

After observing for a while and confirming that there was no danger, Lu Yuan followed closely behind and went to the secret realm with the others.

As soon as they stepped into the passage, everything went black, and they felt dizzy, not knowing where they had been teleported to.

When Lu Yuan regained consciousness and opened his eyes again, he found that the scenery around him had changed completely.

Unlike the turbulent and boundless East China Sea.

This place boasts beautiful mountains and clear waters, with towering peaks.

Towering ancient trees rise from the ground, their age unknown, making one wonder if they have entered a primeval forest.

In the midst of towering mountains, one can occasionally see the figures of powerful and ferocious beasts, as well as large areas of dilapidated gardens and medicinal herb gardens.

Clearly, this secret place was once well-managed, and many people lived here.

Master Lingxu preached and taught here, gaining many followers and attracting many independent practitioners to become his disciples.

However, as Master Lingxu led all his followers to the Holy Realm in search of a breakthrough opportunity, this place became deserted and turned into a paradise for ferocious beasts.

"Were Luo Xin and the others teleported away too?"

Lu Yuan looked around and found that he was the only one there. As for Luo Xin and the other three, they must have been teleported to other places.

"First, find resources to enhance our strength, and then figure out a way to join forces with them."

He pondered for a moment and quickly made a decision.

Luo Xin and the three true disciples were all carefully cultivated prodigies of the Qingyun Sect. With their cultivation levels, as long as they did not rashly step into dangerous areas, they should not have any problem protecting themselves in the Lingxu Cave.

Lu Yuan's primary goal is undoubtedly to improve his strength.

“The Lingxu Cave opens only once every ten years. Over the years, even if there are rare and precious materials in the outer area, they have all been plundered by various forces.”

"I'm afraid that only the inner area near the core of the cave can contain any remaining powerful medicines or spiritual herbs."

Looking at the abandoned buildings standing on the mountain peak, Lu Yuan decisively abandoned the idea of ​​going in to search, and instead followed the flow of spiritual energy in the world, speeding towards the inner area of ​​the cave.

Although it was his first time entering the Lingxu Cave, he did not know the direction of the inner area.

However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is like a stream, flowing continuously from high to low, and the place with the densest spiritual energy is where rare and precious materials are found.

However, these places are often inhabited by powerful and ferocious beasts, and ordinary cultivators who rashly step into them are likely to be killed.

Fortunately, Lu Yuan is now at the third level of the Soul Palace realm, and he has the power to fight even a Nirvana-level demon. As long as he is not too reckless, ordinary ferocious beasts will not pose any threat to him.

"Roar!"

Just as Lu Yuan was rushing towards the inner area, a foul gust of wind suddenly burst out from the bushes beside him and pounced straight at him.

Lu Yuan glanced at it out of the corner of his eye and immediately recognized the origin of the beast.

Shadow Panther!
Soul Palace level ferocious beast!
This demonic beast is agile and nimble, and possesses a powerful bloodline talent that can shield cultivators from their spiritual perception.

It is like an assassin lurking in the shadows, ready to launch a fatal attack the moment the enemy reveals a weakness.

According to the records of the Qingyun Sect, many true disciples and prodigies have been caught off guard and had their throats bitten off by the Shadow Leopard before they could even react.

However, with Lu Yuan's powerful five senses, he immediately locked onto the location of the Shadow Leopard the moment it appeared.

With a slight thought, Lu Yuan's pure divine soul power instantly condensed into a sharp sword, which he slashed straight down.

The shadow leopard charged out like lightning, but before it could pounce on Lu Yuan, its originally fierce scarlet eyes suddenly became dull and lifeless, as if it had lost all its luster in an instant.

"Pfft!"

Its body, like a bird with broken wings, fell heavily to the ground from mid-air and died.

Although it appears on the surface.

It had no wounds on its body, but its soul had been annihilated by Lu Yuan's sword, and it was already beyond dead.

"The fur of this Shadow Leopard can isolate one's aura and shield one from the prying eyes of other cultivators. If it were outside, it would be worth at least tens of thousands of low-grade spirit stones."

Lu Yuan's face lit up with a hint of joy, and he hurried over.

Although this beast excels at attacking, its defensive capabilities are rather mediocre. How could it withstand his full-force attack?
However, just as he was about to collect the Shadow Leopard's carcass...

A cold arrow suddenly flew from the side, aimed at Lu Yuan's temple! (End of Chapter)
