Chapter 438: True Immortal Tenth Layer, Nine-Colored fate

Zhou Chen raised his hand and waved.

An ancient, simple bell appeared out of thin air, covering Lin Tian entirely.

It was indeed the chaos bell.

Lin Potian's attack slammed into the bell's body, letting out a deafening roar.

However, the chaos bell remained motionless.

Densely packed chaotic patterns emerged on the bell, completely neutralizing all attacks.

“An Immortal Rank Top-Grade Magic Treasure?”

A trace of solemnity flashed through Lin Potian's eyes.

“Boy, who exactly are you?”

Zhou Chen did not answer.

The Immortal Spiritual Power within him surged wildly, and his Lifebound Treasure, the Qingping Immortal Sword, instantly appeared in his hand.

“A dead man doesn't need to know too much.”

As his voice fell.

“Void Annihilation.”

Zhou Chen slashed out with his sword.

Instantly, the Void Realm grew dim and lightless.

A sword light flickered, emerging from a pitch-black spatial rift. It contained Immortal Emperor Sword Intent and aimed straight for Lin Potian's phantom image.

Lin Potian's expression changed drastically.

“Immortal Emperor Sword Intent?”

“Impossible!”

Lin Potian's phantom image tried to use a secret technique, only to find that the surrounding space had already been locked.

It was as if he were isolated from heaven and earth; any attack was futile.

Before he could even react.

In the next moment.

Puchi!

A terrifying Sword Qi suddenly appeared from the void, instantly piercing through Lin Potian's phantom.

The phantom image shattered instantly, dissipating into a sky full of light specks.

“This… how is this possible…”

Lin Tian stared blankly at the scene.

The life-saving talisman left by the Old Ancestor was actually shattered by a single sword strike?

Just how strong was this Zhou Chen?

“It's your turn.”

Zhou Chen turned his head and looked at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian's whole body trembled.

He wanted to run, but found his legs couldn't move at all.

Fear submerged him like a tide.

“Wait… we can talk…”

“My Lin family is willing to pay any price…”

“As long as you let me go…”

Zhou Chen shook his head.

“Too late.”

He raised a finger and pointed.

The chaos bell suddenly vibrated.

The toll of the bell was melodious, yet it contained destructive power.

Space-Time Cage.

With the chaos bell as the center, the space within a thousand feet instantly froze.

Lin Tian's body froze in place; he couldn't even move a finger.

“No… please don't…”

Lin Tian's eyes were full of despair.

Zhou Chen walked up to him and lightly waved the qingping sword.

A sword light flashed.

A head soared into the sky.

Blood sprayed out, drawing a mournful arc in the air.

The headless corpse crashed to the ground.

A generation's Child of Destiny had fallen.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for killing the Child of Destiny, Lin Tian!]

[Obtained all of Lin Tian's Luck!]

[Host's fate has been upgraded to Nine-Colored!]

[Number of bound individuals has exceeded 100 million.]

Boom!

A terrifying amount of Luck descended from the sky, pouring into Zhou Chen's body.

Zhou Chen felt his entire body shake.

The Small World inside him vibrated wildly.

The phantom of the World Tree became more solid, and countless branches and leaves grew frantically.

The Small World, which was originally only a hundred million miles, had now expanded by a hundred million miles.

Not only that.

Zhou Chen's cultivation also began to skyrocket.

True Immortal Realm Ninth Layer!

True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer!

A terrifying aura erupted from Zhou Chen.

The Void Realm for a thousand miles around was trembling.

Countless Disciples felt this pressure and looked up toward the Core Area.

“Is this… someone making a Breakthrough?”

“What a terrifying aura!”

“Could it be Senior Brother Lin who obtained the Legacy?”

The Disciples were all talking at once.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chen was immersed in the joy of his Breakthrough.

True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer.

At this Realm, among the third-generation Disciples, he was already strong enough to walk sideways in the Zixia Sect.

More importantly, his fate had been upgraded to Nine-Colored.

A Nine-Colored fate represented overwhelming Luck.

From now on, everything he did would go smoothly.

“Tsk tsk, Lin Tian, thanks for your gift.”

Zhou Chen looked at the corpse on the ground and waved his hand.

A ball of fire appeared out of thin air, burning Lin Tian's corpse and the corpses of the two death soldiers to nothing.

Not even ashes were left.

Having done all this, Zhou Chen put away the chaos bell and the qingping sword.

His Divine Sense swept through Lin Tian's storage ring.

Inside, besides some Immortal Crystals and Medicinal Pills, there were only a few decent Magic Treasures.

“Poor ghost.”

Zhou Chen disdainfully tossed the storage ring into the System space.

He looked up at the sky.

The time for the Secret Realm was almost up.

In three days, everyone would be teleported out.

“It's time to leave.”

Zhou Chen's figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.

Three days later.

The Zixia Sect square.

As streaks of white light flashed, the Disciples who participated in the Secret Realm trial were teleported out one after another.

Some were full of excitement, clearly having gained a lot.

Some were dejected, returning empty-handed.

Others were seriously injured and were helped out of the teleportation array by their companions.

On the high platform.

True Person Zixia and several Elders were counting the people.

“Strange, why hasn't Lin Tian come out yet?”

An Elder frowned.

“Could he have encountered danger?”

Another Elder speculated.

True Person Zixia shook his head.

“Impossible.”

“The Lin family prepared so many life-saving means for him; even if he encountered a True Immortal Realm Tenth Layer Yao Beast, he could retreat safely.”

“Let's wait and see.”

However, until the last Disciple was teleported out, Lin Tian still did not appear.

True Person Zixia's expression changed.

“Activate the tracking Formation and check Lin Tian's Life Token.”

An Elder quickly took out a jade token.

Lin Tian's name was engraved on the jade token.

At this moment, the jade token had shattered.

“Dead…”

The Elder's voice trembled.

“Lin Tian died in the Secret Realm.”

Boom!

This news was like a thunderclap, exploding across the square.

All the Disciples were stunned.

Lin Tian was dead?

That Genius hailed as the future pillar of the Lin family had actually fallen in the Secret Realm?

“How is that possible?”

“Senior Brother Lin was so strong, how could he die?”

“What on earth happened?”

The Disciples were talking fervently.

True Person Zixia's face turned ashen.

Lin Tian was a direct descendant of the Lin family.

If he died in the Zixia Sect's Secret Realm, the Lin family would definitely not let it go.

“Seal the news immediately.”

True Person Zixia said in a deep voice.

“All Disciples who participated in the trial are forbidden from revealing the news of Lin Tian's death.”

The Elders nodded quickly.

Just then.

A white light flashed.

Zhou Chen's figure appeared in the teleportation array.

He still had that lazy look, with a piece of foxtail grass dangling from his mouth.

Seeing Zhou Chen appear, True Person Zixia's eyes lit up.

“Zhou Chen, come here.”

Zhou Chen walked to the high platform and bowed.

“Sect Master.”

True Person Zixia lowered his voice.

“Did you see Lin Tian in the Secret Realm?”

Zhou Chen shook his head.

“No.”

“The Secret Realm is so big, I didn't have time to worry about him.”

True Person Zixia stared at Zhou Chen, trying to see something in his face.

But Zhou Chen's expression was calm, showing no flaws.

“I was just wandering around the periphery of the Secret Realm; I didn't even go to the Core Area.”

True Person Zixia was silent for a moment.

“Fine, you may go.”

Zhou Chen turned and left.

After walking out of the square, a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Lin Tian's death would soon reach the Lin family.

When the time came, the Lin family would surely send someone to investigate.

But so what?

He had already cleaned up the scene thoroughly.

Even if Lin Potian came in person, he wouldn't find any clues.
