Chapter 76: Terrifying Blood Wuhen, A New Child of Destiny!

At this moment, Ye Chen was already at the Nascent Soul Six Layer, and the blood energy on his body was exceptionally thick.

If Zhou Chen were still there, he would know that this was the Earth Rank Medium Grade Body Refining technique, the "Vajra Sutra," which Ye Chen had obtained after counter-killing a Loose Cultivator.

"Bypass the area ahead. There seems to be the aura of a Core Formation Yao Beast, suspected to be an ancient variant. It's not something you can handle right now. Leave quickly."

After hearing this, Ye Chen quickly sped away in the direction he had come from.

…

The Qingman Mountains stretched for thousands of miles.

Deep in the heart of the mountain range, a mountain covered in ancient vines was emitting an increasingly powerful Buddhist light.

The golden halo was almost substantial, rippling out with an aura of supreme majesty.

The Buddhist Holy Realm Secret Realm was about to open. By the time Zhou Chen arrived, spirit boats were already suspended in the sky, flying beasts were circling low, and various forces were clearly demarcated.

To the east, the monks of Tianlong Temple wore moon-white cassocks with solemn expressions. At their head was a young monk, broad-shouldered and stout, with a hint of impropriety between his brows, yet his aura was as steady as a mountain, with Buddhist light faintly emanating from his body.

On the west side, the Disciples of Huangfeng Valley were shrouded in a thin mist, exceptionally low-key. Although they were few in number, each of their auras was as obscure as an abyss, inspiring wariness.

To the north, a mix of Demonic Path and evil Sects like the Blood Drinking Sect, Yinshan Sect, and Heartless Valley gathered.

Over at the Yinshan Sect, Yin Caidie was impressively among the ranks. Her injuries seemed to no longer be a problem. At this moment, her gaze was quietly scanning back and forth through the crowd, as if looking for someone.

Ye Chen was also present. Although he had hidden his appearance and aura, the massive opportunity panel allowed Zhou Chen to recognize him instantly.

Ye Chen looked warily at a group of people occupying a large piece of scorched rock ahead—it was the Blood Demon Sect!

The leader wore a piercingly crimson blood robe, had a tall stature, and his face was covered by a ferocious bronze ghost mask, revealing only a pair of narrow eyes.

A domineering and eerie aura emanated from him. The scorched black rock beneath his feet was silently eroded by blood-red baleful Qi, drawing countless wary, respectful, or hateful gazes.

"Did you see? That person is exactly Blood Wuhen!"

"It's said that Blood Wuhen is the Blood Seed nurtured by the Blood Demon Sect with all its resources. He wiped out a small Sect single-handedly and fought a Core Formation Nine Layer expert without being defeated. His reputation is terrifying!"

"Shh, if you don't want to die, keep quiet!"

The crowd discussed animatedly.

Blood Wuhen's gaze swept indifferently across the field. When it passed over Zhou Chen's direction in the distance, the corners of his mouth under the bronze ghost mask seemed to curl into a faint, sinisterly interested arc.

A warning sign slightly arose in Zhou Chen's heart.

The "Tai Chu Chaos Sutra" quietly operated, and the black and white runes in his Sea of Consciousness accelerated their flow. Only then did that invisible sensation of being pried into disappear.

Blood Wuhen gave Zhou Chen an extremely dangerous feeling, far exceeding the likes of Wang Ming. He was definitely a terrifying enemy in the Ten Thousand Sects Grand Competition; he had to become stronger as soon as possible.

"Check Opportunity," Zhou Chen thought.

[Name: Blood Wuhen.]

[Cultivation: Core Formation Eight Layer.]

[Fate: Heavenly Mandate Protagonist (Gold), Turning Misfortune into Blessing (Purple), Mystic Heaven Demon Body (Purple), Battle Maniac (Purple).]

"Holy crap!"

Zhou Chen was shocked. It was actually a new Child of Destiny, and one that had already faintly risen.

His apparent aura was only Core Formation Six Layer, but his true cultivation was actually Core Formation Eight Layer.

This Child of Destiny's Luck was clearly higher than Ye Chen's, and his future growth ceiling was even higher.

"System, bind him!"

"Congratulations to the Host for a successful binding. Bound individuals: 3/3."

Zhou Chen was very excited. Although Blood Wuhen was dangerous, once he intercepted the opportunities, the rewards would be unimaginable.

"Their opportunities are all in the depths. I'll take Ye Chen's opportunities first to completely stifle his potential for growth, and then go intercept Blood Wuhen's opportunities."

Zhou Chen secretly made up his mind.

Although he had the "Divine Concealment Art," giving him some confidence, Zhou Chen was still a bit worried about being discovered by Blood Wuhen. After all, it seemed he had just been sensed.

The perception of a Heavenly Mandate Protagonist is sometimes just that unreasonable.

Buzz—!

Just then, the mountain rumbled, and a giant "卍" Buddhist seal rose into the sky, suddenly erupting with blinding light.

A huge gateway composed of pure golden Buddha Power slowly opened on the mountain wall.

As the golden gate opened, pure Spiritual Qi gushed out. Inside, one could vaguely see jade buildings and hear the sounds of Buddhist chanting.

"The entrance is open!"

"Charge! The secret treasures are inside!"

"Stop those bald donkeys! The Buddhist treasures belong to our Yellow Springs Sect!"

In an instant, countless figures turned into various streaks of light, rushing toward the Secret Realm entrance as if competing to be first!

Before even entering the Secret Realm, the sounds of killing, roaring, weapons cutting through the air, and Spells exploding outside instantly intertwined, as if it were a tragic Shura field!

The scene was chaotic to the extreme!

Zhou Chen's eyes were cold, and his entire aura was restrained to the limit. Black and white runes formed protective halos on his body's surface. With "White Rainbow Pierces the Sun" fully activated, he seemed to turn into a bolt of white lightning, heading straight for the Secret Realm entrance.

His speed was so fast that the surrounding Cultivators could only catch a blurred afterimage!
