Peerless War God

Chen Xiao looked at Lie Xin with a bit more hostility and a bit of anger.    

He was not angry that they had entered the dangerous secret realm, but angry that Lie Xin was hiding it. This was a form of distrust, and what was even more terrifying was that he was being more cautious.    

Lie Xin had a solemn expression as he said: "Yes, I already knew, but I didn't tell you two. Don't worry, I'll be the main one fighting later. The two of you just stand on the side. You don't need to do anything."    

"This ..." Chen Xiao.    

..."" Qin Daoyuan.    

After hearing this, Chen Xiao's face was filled with doubt. He did not understand what Lie Xin was planning at all.    

"Senior Brother, what is the meaning of this?" Qin Daoyuan directly asked.    

Lie Xin looked down at the broken body parts on the ground and laughed coldly. His eyes were extremely dark as he said: "That is to say, these people had no hope from the start. They were just nourishment for the burial. From the moment they entered the secret realm, they were already dead."    

"How could this be?"    

Hearing this, Chen Xiao was greatly shocked. He felt a shiver from head to toe, a horror that came from his soul.    

All of this was too terrifying. If it was really as Lie Xin said, then the deaths of these Tribulation Transcenders were too pitiful.    

At the same time, he felt extremely lucky that he was still alive. It was probably because of Lie Xin.    

"It's not too late for you to know now, right?" Lie Xin said expressionlessly.    

Qin Daoyuan fell silent, but his expression wasn't too good either. He had almost fallen into such a terrifying scheme.    

Chen Xiao was the same. Even now, he still felt a chill down his spine. At the same time, he felt stifled in his heart. He felt that it was not worth it for these Tribulation Transcenders who had died under the scheme.    

Any one of these people would be a powerful existence in the outside world. They would be able to call the wind and summon the rain.    

To be able to cultivate to the peak of the Tribulation Transcender Realm, one had to spend countless years and experience countless dangers.    

Yet all of them died here without any exception. Their deaths were unknown. What a tragedy.    

"Men are indeed weak. When faced with a stronger power, death is just an instant." Chen Xiao sighed in his heart.    

"Alright, have you all figured it out? However, it doesn't matter even if you haven't figured it out. You still have a lot of time to slowly think about it, to work hard, and I ..."    

Lie Xin's words stopped here and were replaced by self-mockery.    

"What does Lie Xin mean by that? I feel weird." Chen Xiao frowned and thought in his heart.    

However, he didn't have much time to think. Soon, a loud sound interrupted his thoughts.    

The earth started to shake. It was as if some ancient beast was trying to drill out from the ground. The whole monster tree was shaking crazily.    

The four golden True Divine Fruits on the tree's crown started to shine brighter and brighter as the black spikes danced in the air. They reflected a golden light and gave off an alluring fragrance.    

"This is?" Chen Xiao was shocked.    

"Now the immortal fruits have truly matured." Lie Xin replied.    

So that was the case. Chen Xiao asked again, "Then how do we get the fruit? With our strength, I'm afraid we won't be able to fill the gaps between the teeth of this demonic tree in front of us."    

Lie Xin smiled slightly and said: "Take this as a trial. Someone will prepare the training ground for us."    

"Who is it?"    

"Of course it's someone stronger."    

"Someone stronger? Could it be someone at the Immortal level? This..."    

Chen Xiao was shocked as he suddenly recalled the Marquis Zi Jin whom he had met earlier. That kind of terrifying and powerful pressure was still in front of his eyes, leaving a deep impression on him.    

The only experts at the Immortal level who were closest to Lie Xin were the Heavenly Star Venerable and the Duke of Purple Gold.    

As expected, all of this was a scheme by an expert at the Immortal level. After Chen Xiao understood this, he felt extremely angry and helpless.    

When you don't have the strength, any anger is just a joke.    

Chen Xiao could only hide his anger, pretend to be angry, and wait and see.    

In the next moment, the Heaven Gate opened, and a small hole suddenly appeared on the huge array above everyone's head. It was a long wound, like a terrifying wound.    

Outside the hole was a dark void and countless stars. It was mysterious and terrifying.    

"What's that?"    

Chen Xiao's eyes widened. Outside the void, five dots of light were rapidly approaching, flying through the air, and then the crack closed, and everything returned to normal.    

Instantly, five powerful auras filled the entire arena. They were like five suns with monstrous might.    

"Is this the power of the Immortal Realm? It's truly terrifying, and this is with its restrained appearance. If it were to use its full strength, I'm afraid that just the aftershock would be enough to easily kill a cultivator in the Tribulation Realm." Chen Xiao was extremely shocked.    

Out of the five Immortal Realm experts in front of him, only two of them were people he knew.    

One was the Duke of Zi Jin, and the other was the City Lord of the Seawatch City, Shi Yue.    

The other three's auras weren't weak at all. Their eyes were cold and had a hint of coldness and killing intent that made people's hearts tremble.    

At this moment, an Immortal in white robes spoke, "More than a dozen people actually survived this time. It seems that we are quite lucky. It's a pity that there are four True Immortal Fruits. I'm afraid it won't be easy to get any."    

"Old man Pure Yang, we had an agreement from the start. We will not interfere and let our men fight for it. In the end, it will all depend on our own abilities. The one who takes it will get the fruit. Do you want to go back on your word?"    

Seeing this, the green-robed old man at the side angrily looked at him and questioned him.    

"Who are those two? Are they also experts at the Immortal Realm?" Chen Xiao carefully asked the rumors.    

"The one dressed in a daoist robe is a Pure Yang Dao Sovereign, and the azure-robed elder is Feng Hou. They are both experts at the Immortal Realm that have been famous for a long time." Lie Xin replied.    

As expected, it was like that. However, Chen Xiao was very curious about one thing. How did Immortal Realm experts differentiate the strong and the weak?    

After a pause, he asked again: "Senior Brother Lie Xin, then between these two and the Marquis Zi Jin, who is stronger and who is weak?"    

"Huh?"    

Hearing that, Lie Xin was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes at Chen Xiao, speechless.    

"How would I know if you ask me? The realm of immortality is unfathomable, how could I know about it?"    

Lie Xin's words were more or less filled with self-mockery and sarcasm.    

"Eh ..." Only then did Chen Xiao realize that he had misspoken.    

That's right, Senior Brother Lie Xin wasn't at the Immortal Realm, so how could he see through an expert who far exceeded his realm?    

Furthermore, the strength of a cultivator was a secret and he shouldn't have asked such a stupid question.    

Seeing that, Qin Daoyuan smiled helplessly and didn't say anything else.    

"Feng Hou, we have a rule. I won't go back on my word. I am just worried about you. You may not get anything this time. You are just a disciple. You are the weakest one. Let me give you a piece of advice and you might as well give up."    

"You!"    

Feng Hou's expression changed and became quite ugly.
