Chapter 94: Reflecting On The Long River, The Phantom Of The Young Emperor!

"The first plan has failed now!" "Should we proceed with the second plan?" Dugu Yun pondered for a moment and cautiously replied. Contrary to his usual demeanor, Dugu Yun used to be extremely indifferent and seemed to not care about anything. But now things were different. Whether or not Moyuan died had nothing to do with him; the main issue was his cultivation had declined. This troubled Dugu Yun greatly, especially since he hadn't absorbed the essence of Qin Ershi. This made him urgently want to devour Qin Ershi's essence. However, killing Qin Ershi was definitely beyond his capabilities. Only Dugu Xiong had the ability to do so. "Let's discuss it later."

Dugu Xiong felt a bit annoyed; Moyuan's death completely caught him off guard. In his expectations, Moyuan would at least be able to enter the trial space. Even if he couldn't reach the 100th level, it didn't matter as long as he tried. But now Moyuan was killed before even entering the trial space. This meant they had no idea what Moyuan's limit was. Whether or not he could reach it. If he could, their losses would be significant. Without that thing inside. Now Dugu Yun even suggested attacking Qin Ershi, which made Dugu Xiong a little impatient. If Dugu Yun wasn't somewhat useful, he would have killed him already. Incompetent and useless. Yet acting so superior. Although Dugu Yun was his son, Dugu Xiong didn't view him as such just because he was his son. For Dugu Xiong, there were no such things as family or friends. Only people who were beneficial to him. Those who were useful were family, and those who were useless were trash. He wouldn't spare them a glance. Speaking of which, the relationship between the father and son was strange; both were cold-hearted individuals who never regarded each other as their own son or father. They only used each other.

Seeing Dugu Xiong's expression, Dugu Yun originally wanted to ask him something. But after thinking about it, he gave up. Now was not a good time to disturb Dugu Xiong, who was feeling restless. "Holy Son of Absolute Beginning has reached the 50th level!" "Such fast speed, surpassing 3,500 days!" "Bai Chen and Qin Ershi are not slow either; they have reached the 30th level!" "But this Yan Ruyu is somewhat unexpected; he has reached the 32nd level and hasn't been surpassed by Bai Chen and Qin Ershi yet!" "Could it be because of Yan Ruyu's early entry?" "Even so, it's still strange. In the past, Yan Ruyu would have already surpassed them with the abilities of Bai Niao and Qin Ershi!" "This Yan Ruyu is not much worse than these exceptional geniuses!" "This generation of Holy Land of Absolute Beginning is truly surprising, with so many talents. They have a Holy Son of Absolute Beginning and now Yan Ruyu!" Many powerful individuals showed surprise. The previous exceptional geniuses didn't astonish them too much, but Yan Ruyu did. Because Yan Ruyu was currently leading Bai Chen and Qin Ershi. Even if Yan Ruyu entered earlier, it was still a shocking thing. It should be noted that the higher the level, the greater the pressure. It requires consideration of various aspects such as physical body, cultivation, talent, and Dao heart. If one is not outstanding enough, it is easy to be surpassed. If it were an ordinary exceptional genius, they would struggle after reaching the 30th level and would easily be surpassed by someone like Qin Ershi. But Yan Ruyu was different. This alone was enough to surprise everyone. It meant that Yan Ruyu was not much worse than the others in all aspects. Perhaps slightly weaker in terms of strength. "You guys from the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning are really stealing the limelight!" Zhiyang True Immortal looked at the scene ahead and said sourly. It was already impressive enough for the Holy Land of Absolute Beginning to have a Holy Son of Absolute Beginning, but now there was also Yan Ruyu. What was most infuriating was that Yan Ruyu wasn't even cultivated by Tai Chu, but was a follower of the Holy Son of Absolute Beginning. "Not at all, your Pure Yang Holy Son is not bad either. He's getting close to Yan Ruyu!" The Elder laughed. Zhiyang True Immortal's eyelids twitched.

There were still several levels to go. This is what you call getting close? Damn guy.

Zhiyang True Immortal knew that if he continued, it would only make the Elder show off, so he chose to keep quiet. Trial space. Upon stepping onto the fiftieth floor, the pressure intensified once again. However, for Jiang Chen, it was still nothing. At the same time. A beam of energy descended from the sky and poured into Jiang Chen's body. "Energy?" Feeling the energy entering his body, Jiang Chen immediately activated his secret technique and completely transformed it. The rewards here are all sorts of strange and varied things. Many people have obtained cultivation rewards, leading to rapid progress in their cultivation. However, for Jiang Chen, these energies were just a drop in the bucket. They didn't enhance his cultivation much. But he was getting closer and closer to the quasi-saint level. "There's still no pressure!" Jiang Chen said to himself. The pressure on the fiftieth floor was still too small, he couldn't feel any pressure at all. "This guy is still so fast!" Huang Qingtian looked at Jiang Chen's back, unable to catch up no matter how fast he accelerated. Instead, the gap in the number of floors increased. "They're all freaks!" Both Pure Yang Saint Son and Jin Changhe were dumbfounded. It seemed that the distance between the two of them had completely widened. While others had already reached the thirtieth floor, they were still on the twentieth floor. "Fortunately, I have this guy accompanying me!" Both of them seemed to have a telepathic connection, looking at each other at the same time.

But when they saw each other, their expressions immediately turned serious. "Jin Changhe, didn't you say you were going to surpass them?" "Why aren't you hurrying up?" Pure Yang Saint Son said sarcastically. "What about you?" "Are you willing to be left behind by them?" Jin Changhe also became clever and didn't fall for it. As long as he wasn't surpassed, it was fine with Pure Yang Saint Son. As for the people ahead, they could take their time. "I never said I wanted to surpass them!" Pure Yang Saint Son said indifferently. "No ambition!" Jin Changhe showed a hint of disdain and said, "Since you have no ambition, then I'll go ahead!" As he spoke. Jin Changhe suddenly accelerated, leaving Pure Yang Saint Son behind. "Damn, does this guy not conserve his energy?" Seeing Jin Changhe accelerate, Pure Yang Saint Son became anxious. Losing to others was one thing, but he couldn't lose to Jin Changhe. If he lost to Jin Changhe, how could he mock him in the future? Sixtieth floor. A divine light fell in front of Jiang Chen. Transforming into a large bell, it was black all over, ancient and solemn, with an inexplicable color. This was a divine weapon of a Daoist. Even outside, it was an extremely valuable divine weapon. Jiang Chen glanced at it and didn't pay much attention, directly collecting it. Almost at the same time. A beam of light fell from the front, forming a strange creature. Forming a green and white giant dragon, its winding body coiled in front, a mighty pressure swept out, enveloping the entire space with a powerful quasi-saint aura.

This was a quasi-saint creature. "Quasi-saint?" Jiang Chen wasn't particularly surprised. The original work had detailed descriptions. After reaching the sixtieth floor, a creature one level higher would appear based on one's realm. Only by defeating this creature could one advance to a higher level. Jiang Chen was in the Great Venerable Realm, so it was only natural for a quasi-saint to appear. "Meteor Fist!" Without a moment's hesitation, Jiang Chen raised his hand and threw a punch.

The silver fist imprint fell like a falling star. With a loud bang. The pale blue giant dragon burst apart, like paper, like a toy, bursting apart. It didn't even stop Jiang Chen for a moment. "Killing a quasi-saint with ease?" The eyes of the Golden Crow clan's holy realm twitched, revealing a hint of surprise. That quasi-saint was not an ordinary quasi-saint, but a quasi-saint at the ninth level. Even if he was an unparalleled genius, it would take some time to defeat him. However, in front of Jiang Chen, it was just a punch. "The demeanor of a great emperor!" "I can't see any flaws in this Holy Son of Absolute Beginning. Even a quasi-saint at the ninth level can't stop his footsteps. He kills with a single punch!" "It seems that ordinary quasi-saints are probably not his opponents!" "Perhaps only a sage realm has a chance to defeat him!" The strong of the Supreme Dao Sect couldn't help but speak. The strength displayed by Jiang Chen truly surprised them. They originally thought that the sixtieth level could stop Jiang Chen. Who knew that Jiang Chen killed with a single punch. "Is this Holy Son of Absolute Beginning really only twenty years old?" "I spent my whole life to reach the quasi-saint realm, and in the eyes of others, I'm just an ant?" "At twenty years old, I was still struggling with the Divine Palace Realm, while others at twenty years old can kill a quasi-saint with a single punch!"

"Indeed, no one can compare to a monster!" "Is there anyone of the same generation who can stop the Holy Son of Absolute Beginning?" "Most likely not, we need to find some old monsters!" "No, even quasi-saint old monsters are useless in front of him, we need at least a sage realm!" "Why do I feel that even a sage realm might not be his opponent?" "That's uncertain. After all, the sage realm is still a sage, with boundless means. It may not be something that the Holy Son of Absolute Beginning can withstand!" Everyone was shocked. They knew in their hearts that a quasi-saint couldn't stop Jiang Chen, but they didn't expect this quasi-saint to be as fragile as paper. He was easily killed by Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen was invincible, swiftly advancing to the eightieth level. Just like the sixtieth level, there was no obstacle, killing with a single punch. Any living being in front of him was nothing more than a trivial matter. Other young talents also stepped into the sixtieth level one after another. However, they didn't have it as easy, needing to expend some energy to defeat the creatures in front of them. And even with these things, the distance between them and the people above them widened. "We're almost at the ninetieth level!" "How did this Holy Son of Absolute Beginning do it!" Jin Changhe, Jin Wu Divine Son, and Pure Yang Saint Son were still dealing with the creatures on the sixtieth level. They had spent quite some time dealing with these creatures. When they saw Jiang Chen about to reach the ninetieth level, their hearts completely changed. They couldn't understand how Jiang Chen could pass this level so easily. "You want to compare yourself to him?" "Isn't that asking for humiliation?" "Do you know what a young emperor is?" The voice of Pure Yang Saint Son came from the side. Jin Changhe couldn't be bothered to respond to him! He focused on dealing with the creatures in front of him. Just as he was about to defeat them, a loud bang came from not far away.

Only to see Pure Yang Saint Son dealing with the creatures and heading towards higher levels. "Jin Changhe, oh Jin Changhe, such an easy trial, and you still haven't solved it?" "It seems that you really can't do it!" Pure Yang Saint Son sneered, sarcastic and insidious. He only mocked Jin Changhe because he had lost the last time. It was a rare pleasure for him. The main purpose was to mock the other party, and the other party had no power to refute. After all, Jin Changhe had lost the last time. The ninetieth level. The reward for the ninetieth level was a sacred weapon. The rewards were already extremely generous. Jiang Chen remained calm and collected as he put away the sacred weapon.

Almost simultaneously. Boom. A beam of light descended, and a handsome young man walked out of it. The young man had an extraordinary bearing, exuding a vast aura. A powerful oppressive force swept over. Like the great sun in the sky, shining brilliantly, overlooking the world. "Young Emperor!" Jiang Chen's expression became solemn as he silently said to himself. After reaching the ninetieth level, they would face a young emperor who was a level above them. These were fragments of the emperor, reflected from the river of time. But they were not emperors from the Nine Heavens Realm, but from elsewhere. From the place where the Supreme Hall originally existed. The Immortal Domain. A majestic aura erupted completely. The young emperor's expression was indifferent, without making any sound, he suddenly made a move. His vast divine power exploded like a galaxy. A giant hand slapped towards Jiang Chen, with an overwhelming wave that caused the void to shatter, tearing through space, and unleashing boundless power. Although it was just a phantom created by force, the young emperor's strength was unimaginable.

Far surpassing the creatures encountered on the lower levels. This was also the greatest challenge of the trial space. Each level was more difficult than the previous one. Each subsequent level had a young emperor. And the young emperors became increasingly powerful. Especially the creatures on the hundredth level, they would be the phantoms of true immortals. Over the long years, countless geniuses were stuck at the final level. Unable to make further progress, only a few could barely pass the hundredth level. "Useless!" Jiang Chen swung his fist, and the silver fist cut through the air. With a loud bang. The two collided, and the silver fist shattered the young emperor's arm, piercing through his arm with a momentum that could destroy ancient trees, heading straight for his head. Whoosh. The young emperor evaded in time, instantly disappearing from his original position, avoiding Jiang Chen's attack. "You can't escape!" The next moment. Just as the phantom of the young emperor appeared, Jiang Chen had already appeared behind him. The silver fist struck his head. Terrifying power erupted completely. With a loud bang. A trace of astonishment appeared in the young emperor's eyes. As if he never expected to lose so miserably. Then the entire phantom exploded completely. Of course, this was just a phantom, not the true strength of the young emperor. If it were the real young emperor, his strength would be far from this. But the outcome was still the same. Jiang Chen had too many cards up his sleeve. Even if the real young emperor came, he still wouldn't be Jiang Chen's match.

It would just take a little more time. The following levels were the same as before. Jiang Chen was invincible, defeating the phantom of the young emperor in a few moves. Like a majestic sun, dominating the sky, making the outside experts fall silent. No one had anticipated that Jiang Chen would be so fierce. Even the young emperor could be swept aside. The geniuses in the trial space were also silent. Even Huang Qingtian felt the same. Jiang Chen had already slaughtered his way through the ninetieth level, while he was still stuck in the eighties. And it had taken him a considerable amount of time. With a loud bang. Huang Qingtian finally defeated the creatures on this level and looked up. Only to see Jiang Chen on the ninety-fifth level, shattering the phantom of the young emperor with two punches. This instantly silenced Huang Qingtian. "So this was their mentality back then?" Huang Qingtian showed a bitter smile. He used to think it was nothing, but now he felt extremely bitter. Although they seemed to be on the same level, the difference was like heaven and earth. It made Huang Qingtian feel somewhat powerless, as if he could never surpass it. No matter how capable he was, the gap would always be there in front of him.
