Chapter 422 - 422 Blood

422 Blood-colored World

The true dragon said with a faint smile, “You’re being too polite. We’re brothers who have gone through life and death together. I think it’s better for us to advance and retreat together. How can I leave you behind?”

Hearing this, the big scorpion could not help but curse in his heart. It seemed that this true dragon was willing to go to all lengths just to get out.

When had the other party ever had a life-and-death relationship with Qin Chen? Was it kidding?

However, at this moment, Qin Chen nodded and said, “Right now, we still have one more place to go on this ancient planet.”

He pointed at the crack next to the ancient tree of life’s void secret realm.

An unknown voice was coming from the crack in the void.

Qin Chen and the others had long deduced that the truth of the Tranquil Land must be hidden within.

Seeing that Qin Chen and the others were about to enter another spatial crack, a bad premonition rose in the true dragon’s heart.

It immediately stopped them, “We’ve already obtained the ancient life tree’s branches and leaves. Why do we still have to get involved in this mess? If we go, we might be completely annihilated.”

Hearing the true dragon’s words, Qin Chen’s eyes glowed.

It seemed that this true dragon knew a lot of things.

Learning this, he asked the true dragon what exactly was in the void secret realm.

The true dragon seemed a little heavy and its tone was grave as it spoke slowly. Its eyes seemed to be filled with emotions of reminiscence.

“It’s said that there’s some kind of powerful creature there that is incomparably terrifying. It seems to be sealed and suppressed there. I learned this from the creatures I’ve killed.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Chen frowned. It seemed that the threat in the secret realm was quite deadly. Unfortunately, they could only give it their all now.

Only by heading there would they be able to know the truth of the Tranquil Land. This place did not seem that simple and it must hide many secrets.

It might involve the truth behind why this place had become like this, how the fog appeared, and who had left behind the power of order that could kill even quasi-emperor-realm experts.

Was this all just a trap?

Who was the one who placed the ancient tree of life in the void secret realm and set up the light screen?

Qin Chen had to go in and see everything with his own eyes before he could restore the truth by following the clues.

If he didn’t know what the truth was, it was very likely that they would encounter an irresistible danger in the fog. At that time, they might really be completely annihilated.

As such, he had to enter this void secret realm that had unknown sounds.

Seeing how stubborn Qin Chen was, the true dragon did not say anything more. It only said, “If we encounter any danger, we’ll retreat immediately. How about it?”

Hearing this, Qin Chen nodded. That was only natural. No one would be stupid enough to hit a stone with an egg and insist on running into danger.

Upon hearing Qin Chen’s agreement, the true dragon nodded and walked in front, passing through the spatial rift.

The spatial rift that they were now entering was the origin of the unknown voice which had helped Qin Chen a lot in the fog and had even saved their lives by sending the corpse of the quasi-emperor-realm godfiend away. Otherwise, they might have already met with a great disaster. They would not have been able to make it to this place, nor would they have been able to break through and find the ancient tree of life.

They really wanted to see the owner of this voice. Why was the other party being suppressed inside?

At the thought of this, Qin Chen and the others quickly followed and entered the crack with the true dragon. The true dragon had already recovered a lot, but it quickly realized that it shouldn’t have come in upon entering.

What greeted its eyes was a terrifying blood-red world. This blood-red world was like a netherworld purgatory, making people feel cold and uncomfortable all over. It was as if the terrifying aura had seeped into their bodies.

As for Qin Chen and the rest, they also felt the uniqueness of this place after coming in through the spatial rift.

In this world, there was a huge pillar that was cast from gold and copper. There were also dense iron chains wrapped around it. The chains seemed to be binding a bloody man.

The bloody man was bound by chains, its body tied to the pillar all this time. When it felt someone coming in, it immediately seemed to have woken up. With that, the entire blood-red world began to roll, and countless strange forces began to invade everyone’s minds, almost causing them to lose their minds.

What exactly was this thing? Qin Chen could only call it a “thing” because this bloody man did not even look like a living creature. It was more like a ball of blood with consciousness.

Looking at the bloody man tied to the copper pillar, Qin Chen realized that something was wrong and wanted to leave as soon as possible.

The true dragon’s heart was also palpitating. Although it had become a true dragon and was now a divine beast, it instinctively detested the bloody man as if it would be devoured.

One must know that the true dragon was an existence on a higher level of life, a divine beast. But now, it actually had such a thought. Could it be that this bloody man was born somewhat special?

Thinking of this, the true dragon wanted to leave in a hurry. Unexpectedly, before they could turn around, the crowd realized that their feet had been fixed in place. Blood began to cover their legs, causing them to be rooted to the ground.

Even a God Emperor like the true dragon couldn’t escape. What was this place?

Then, when the bloody man tied to the pillar spoke, Qin Chen and the others could tell that this was the voice that had been luring them here.

The owner of the voice was this bloody man.

“Hurry over!”

This sentence! It caused a huge wave to rise in Qin Chen’s heart. They did not expect the owner of the voice to be the bloody man.

The other party looked like a human-shaped creature, but in truth, it was just a ball of squirming blood. At this moment, it seemed to be boiling, and the blood was sputtering.

The big scorpion was already scared out of his wits. He roared, “What the hell are you?”

The bloody man was firmly tied to the pillar, seemingly unable to get close to them and unable to escape.

Only Qin Chen and the true dragon realized that this bloody man was extremely powerful. It might even be more powerful than the true dragon who was in the God Emperor realm.

They couldn’t say for sure what cultivation realm the other party was in. In any case, their hearts were already filled with fear. They couldn’t allow the situation to continue like this. After all, if this continued, they would die here.

As such, Qin Chen tried to break free from the restraints, but unfortunately, he could not.
