The outsiders in the group disappeared, but the atmosphere became somewhat oppressive.
Chu Chen was injured and looked unwell, but fortunately they had a good number of healing pills. They rested for a few days and recovered before leading the team to the entrance of the Great Chu Chen Great Yu Empire's imperial mausoleum.
Several days later, he finally led his team to the location.
At the entrance to the imperial mausoleum, a group of prodigies stood on high alert, their eyes filled with nothing but awe and wonder.
Here, the corpses of Alien Race are everywhere, with severed limbs scattered about. Rarely seen are Human Race swords and knives left behind. Just by looking at the mottled bloodstains on them, one can tell what happened, making one's heart clench.
The Alien Race all died swiftly and decisively; judging from their wounds, they appeared to have been killed by the same person with a single, direct blow.
Although all the Alien Race here are dead, the oppressive aura emanating from them, as well as the lingering aura from the battle traces that existed here, made the members of the Heavenly Pride Sect who walked past these corpses feel terrified.
"Is this the Thearch Realm...?"
Chu Chen murmured to himself, his eyes filled with longing and awe for the Thearch Realm.
Even the faintest trace of its aura, without ever seeing the True Person, filled him with immense terror and dread. He couldn't imagine what it would be like if he truly had the chance to witness Thearch Realm expert firsthand.
Chu Chen couldn't help but swallow, feeling both fear and immense excitement.
Just recently, he received a message from Lineage elder.
The message clearly stated that the Imperial Mausoleum Secret Realm has now become a smaller secret realm, with multiple imperial clans involved, leading to the current complex situation.
With that Thearch Realm expert trapped here, the Chu Household elders seized the opportunity and immediately sided with the Thearch Realm expert. Therefore, the Chu Household is very likely to gain the favor of this Thearch Realm expert!
That's the Thearch Realm!
Just thinking about it made Chu Chen's breathing quicken.
For countless years, not a single Thearch Realm has emerged in the entire Ancient Realm, or even the entire Profound Domain. Now, this somewhat delicate balance has been broken.
Only family members know their own affairs.
Although they live in seclusion in the Ancient Realm and call themselves an imperial clan, that is only because their ancestors once had Thearch Realm. In reality, their imperial clan is now without an emperor among its members!
It can be said that a single Thearch Realm is an unparalleled existence in the Profound Domain!
Now that the balance has been broken, whoever can seize this opportunity and go against the tide will gain the right to speak in the Profound Domain!
If the Chu Household could gain the favor of this Thearch Realm...
Chu Chen would tremble with excitement whenever he thought about this matter.
He certainly understood what this meant!
This means that the Chu Household's status among the imperial clans will be different from what it was before, and its future is limitless!
When the time comes, with the Thearch Realm favoring the Chu Household, even if Bai Linglong is unwilling to marry her, the elders of the Bai Household will definitely not let her throw a tantrum.
Let alone Bai Linglong, even if he wanted other outstanding women, as long as they weren't among the Ten Heroes, it would be a matter of a word!
As for Lin Xuan and Su Lianxin?
hehe...
Chu Chen narrowed his eyes, a cold smile appearing on his lips.
If they knew that there was an Thearch Realm standing behind their Lineage, they would probably be so frightened that they would kneel down and kowtow to admit their mistake on the spot!
snort!
That also depends on your own mood and whether you want to forgive.
Imagining a bright future, Chu Chen's mood became increasingly excited, and his expression became more and more joyful. He could hardly control the smile on his lips. He coughed twice to barely suppress his joy and led the other geniuses from several Lineage into the secret realm of the imperial mausoleum.
Upon entering the secret realm of the imperial mausoleum, everyone felt something sweep around them, like shimmering water rippling across their bodies.
The spiritual liquid, which only appears when a secret realm is first formed, washed over the bodies of the prodigies, making them immediately realize that this secret realm was definitely extraordinary, and they couldn't help but become even more interested in the fortuitous opportunity it contained.
But immediately after entering the secret realm and seeing the scene inside, no one moved or spoke.
Everyone stared blankly at the sky, as if their very souls had been captured.
The powerful aura of the Thearch Realm permeated the entire secret realm. Almost everyone who stepped into this place could clearly feel that overwhelming pressure that made people instinctively want to submit.
That's terrifying!
Chu Chen felt as if he couldn't breathe.
His eyes were fixed on the distant sky, unable to look away.
There, they could clearly see a huge phantom, like wings hanging from the sky, like a blazing sun; just looking at it made their eyes sting.
The enormous phantom seemed to be fighting something, causing the sky in this small secret realm to tremble incessantly. With each tremor, they felt as if a heavy hammer had slammed into their chests, causing their Qi and Blood to surge.
As Chu Chen and his group gritted their teeth and pressed forward, gradually approaching the area below the illusory figure, they saw that those surrounding it were all powerful members of the Imperial Clan.
The Bai Household, the Ouyang Household, the Tuoba Household...
After just one glance, Chu Chen felt as if his eyes had been burned, and he quickly looked away.
He swallowed hard, suppressing his shock.
He wasn't mistaken!
He saw that many of the legendary figures from various Lineage, who were said to have passed away long ago, had actually come, clinging to life!
He thought he would never come into contact with such beings in his lifetime, but unexpectedly, the news of an Thearch Realm being directly brought them all out of hiding.
and...
Such beings are the most terrifying; in Chu Chen's mind, they are even more terrifying than those at the Thearch Realm!
The life flame of the Thearch Realm expert, viewed from afar, looks as if it could burn a person; there's no need to worry about them suddenly perishing. But these old immortals are different.
Their lifespans are nearing their end; they are on the verge of death, yet their strength is terrifying. Their sudden emergence into the world, instead of continuing their seclusion to seek a breakthrough and a chance at survival, is enough to demonstrate just how... powerful they are now.
crazy.
Chu Chen was terrified. He pursed his lips and looked around, finally finding the place where many of the Chu Household elders were.
The other prodigies behind him had already scattered and headed straight for their own Lineage upon seeing Lineage.
Chu Chen hurriedly headed towards his Lineage, and before he could even exhale, he heard his father's voice full of praise.
"Chen'er, you've come at the perfect time!"
Chu Chen's father, Chu Tianfang, arrived here upon seeing that Chu Chen Wushang, his eyes filled with extreme satisfaction.
He nodded slowly, leading Chu Chen forward.
"Chen'er, this imperial mausoleum is now beginning to transform from a small secret realm into a blessed land. One day of cultivation here is equivalent to one hundred days outside. You've come at the perfect time; you must seize this fortuitous opportunity!"
Chu Chen naturally sensed what he said.
Chu Chen chuckled inwardly, subtly observing the other members of the imperial clans around him, thinking to himself, "No wonder these old fogies were willing to move over..."
He opened his mouth, about to say something, when...
boom!
A violent tremor shook the darkness in the distance, forcing Chu Chen to quickly regain his footing. He looked into the distance with a mixture of darkness and flames, forming a unique area that was virtually inaccessible to ordinary people.
There seemed to be the roar of a giant beast, or the mournful cry of a phoenix.
Many members of the imperial clans around them were eager to make a move. They all looked up at the various strange phenomena in the sky, their eyes flashing with hesitation and a deep longing.
The time they spent in the secret realm was enough for them to realize that the Thearch Realm expert fighting above was not a pure Thearch Realm expert, but only a Half-Step Thearch Realm.
While Half-Step Thearch Realm is terrifying, it is not a true Thearch Realm. Furthermore, the Profound Domain has not seen Thearch Realm for many years, which has caused people to lose their fear of the Thearch Realm...
Many old monsters exchanged glances. After the shockwave, a wild ambition, growing like weeds, sprouted in their hearts, prompting them to slowly emerge from the darkness, raise their heads together, and look up at the sky.
