Apocalypse: The Primordial Pearl Recognizes Its Master, Starting with Infinite Space

Qian Wansan felt He Yunzheng's gaze and went to meet him without making a sound.

The two, separated by half a stand, nodded slightly and their lips twitched slightly before they looked away.

All eyes were on the weakened Lin Chen on the stage, and no one noticed the brief interaction between the two.

Qian Wansan withdrew his gaze and nodded to a female disciple of the Qingmu Sect behind him.

The female disciple understood, stood up, and led six men and three women onto the arena.

Looking at the new group of people who appeared on the stage, Lin Chen coughed twice and looked them over "weakly".

The woman in the lead looked somewhat familiar, but for a moment, he couldn't place her.

The woman wore a white gauze dress, her long hair was simply tied in a ponytail, she had an oval face, beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and full, red cherry lips with a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth, which was pleasing to the eye.

At this moment, the woman spoke:

"Brother Lin, I am Xu Yanqiu from the Qingmu Sect. I witnessed your prowess during the Guixu Secret Realm trial. I left in a hurry last time and didn't have a chance to thank you for saving my life."

Upon hearing her words, Lin Chen suddenly realized that this woman was actually the leading disciple of the Qingmu Sect in the Guixu Secret Realm.

Lin Chen remained noncommittal, but inwardly he was thinking, "What do you mean by leaving in a hurry? What do you mean by not having time?"

At the time, she seemed busy flirting with Yang Zhao and deliberately didn't come up.

Lin Chen shook his head indifferently. This woman clearly had a hint of tea, so he couldn't be bothered to reply.

Seeing this, Xu Yanqiu frowned slightly, sensing Lin Chen's dissatisfaction. She stopped being polite and adopted an aggressive stance.

Lin Chen snapped out of his daze and looked intently at the person opposite him.

Although the Green Wood Sect is famous throughout the Yuanxu Universe for its alchemy, anyone who thinks they are weak in combat is truly foolish.

The Qingmu Sect practically monopolized the high-end market of pills in the entire Yuanxu Universe, making them incredibly wealthy, second only to the Xuanji Sect, which possessed mineral resources.

What does it mean to be rich?

This means that you will have access to the best treasures, the best cultivation resources, and the most luxurious equipment.

Sure enough, divine light shone from the ten people, all of them wearing mid-grade divine artifact armor, and the weapons they held were at least low-grade divine artifacts.

This outfit is already on par with Shen Ping'an and his group from the Hundred Refinements Sect.

However, they did not have the same method of connecting divine artifacts with runes as the Hundred Refinements Sect.

At that moment, all ten people simultaneously took out a pill from their fingertips and flicked it with their fingers.

The ten pills shattered in mid-air, turning into ten different colored wisps of mist, each disappearing into its owner's brow. Their auras also surged upwards at the same instant.

Lin Chen was taken aback. Judging from the aura of these people, they were no weaker than the early stage of the twelfth rank.

However, he didn't panic. He was just a level 12 expert; it wasn't like he hadn't fought before.

While they were pondering, the ten people had already moved, forming groups of three and then three groups in total, and they surrounded them.

The remaining person stayed behind to seal off the space...

Lin Chen's eyelids twitched, he sighed, and chose the leftmost group to go forward.

The three men on the far left, seeing Lin Chen approaching, advanced instead of retreating. Their three longswords glowed with red, yellow, and white light respectively, and dense power of law burst forth from their blades at different angles, sealing off his three routes to the left, right, and above.

Lin Chen flicked his wrist, and the sword, wrapped in golden light of law, struck three times in quick succession. A series of clanging metal sounds rang out, and he managed to block the three men's attacks.

Just as he was about to launch an attack, six cold lights were already pressing against his back.

He twisted his foot, his whole body swayed, and he slid behind the three people. Before he could even stop, three more people blocked his way.

The three people behind him turned around and attacked again, while three more figures pressed down from his right at the same time, locking him in from nine directions and completely surrounding him in the center.

Nine divine weapons advanced simultaneously, all thrusting towards him.

Just as they approached within a meter of him, the sword in his hand trembled, and the time barrier unfolded again, with nine weapons simultaneously suspended in mid-air, unable to advance an inch.

Xu Yanqiu and the others seemed to have been prepared.

As their weapons were immobilized by the force of time, a black sphere appeared in their other hand, which they simultaneously hurled at Lin Chen.

Each black sphere was wrapped in a thick layer of mental energy membrane, which weakened the pull of the time law by more than half. The spheres slowly broke through the boundary of the time prison and approached Lin Chen inch by inch.

Lin Chen's pupils contracted as he sensed the violent, cold, and extremely unstable nature of the black sphere, indicating that it contained an explosive device based on more than one law.

He looked up at Xu Yanqiu and the others and saw that the veins on their foreheads were bulging and their temples were throbbing.

Clearly, wrapping the sphere in their mental energy and passing through his enhanced time prison was extremely difficult for them.

The black ball stopped when it was about half a meter away from him.

Just as Lin Chen was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Xu Yanqiu clenched her fist and detonated all ten black balls at the same time.

The shockwave from the explosion was compressed within a small space by the Time Prison and did not spread outward.

But the sudden burst of violent power, wrapped in mental energy, rebounded back along the connection between the laws of time and Lin Chen's sea of ​​consciousness.

His mind felt like it had been hit by a hammer, his ears were ringing, and his entire consciousness paused for a moment.

The mental strength that had been maintaining the time barrier suddenly loosened at that moment, and the time barrier visibly began to shake.

Xu Yanqiu had been waiting for this moment, and the nine people were overjoyed.

He gripped the nine frozen weapons tightly and, taking advantage of the moment when his mind was in turmoil, suddenly lunged forward.

At the critical moment, a cool sensation came to Lin Chen's mind, instantly waking him up and allowing him to stabilize Shi Lao.

Xu Yanqiu and the others were stunned for a moment, not expecting Lin Chen to regain his senses so quickly. Their swords had just been less than half an inch away from Lin Chen...

Taking advantage of the nine people's stunned silence, Lin Chen swiftly retreated from the encirclement once again.

After escaping the encirclement, Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief. If it weren't for Zi Ling's timely intervention, he would have been caught in the trap of that black sphere explosive.

Xu Yanqiu and the other nine had complicated expressions. Lin Chen had actually dodged their carefully designed killing move. For a moment, they forgot about the pursuit and instead looked at each other, their faces full of resentment.

This tactic is only effective when launched as a surprise attack. Once you are prepared, your opponent will not give you a chance to throw the black ball.

Those in the audience who knew its value exclaimed in surprise, "It's actually the Forbidden Divine Lightning! The Green Wood Sect is really generous!"

"Just how stable is Brother Lin's sea of ​​consciousness? The Divine Lightning only affected him for less than a breath."

Some even exclaimed in admiration, "No wonder he's the last disciple of the Sword God; he already possesses the potential to become a Sword God!"

When Qian Wansan saw that his carefully planned strategy had been evaded by Lin Chen, and then heard someone say that Lin Chen had the "talent of a sword god," he felt as if he had swallowed a mouthful of flies.

Looking up at Wang Batian in mid-air, he clearly saw the corner of the other's mouth freeze for a moment before returning to normal.

He knew that he would likely be punished when he returned.
