"Lin Chen, are you crazy? Why are you even attacking me?" A furious voice rang out.

"Whoa, this illusion is too realistic, isn't it? Not only is it powerful, but it can even talk?" Lin Chen was momentarily stunned.

Those monsters earlier didn't have such intelligence, let alone could speak.

"Idiot, I'm not an illusion; I'm really Ashi," the figure opposite him said angrily.

Only then did Lin Chen's face turn slightly red, "You're really Ashi, huh. I thought you were..."

Looking at the familiar pretty face opposite him, Lin Chen felt embarrassed; this time, he really embarrassed himself greatly.

"Why did you come here?" Lin Chen asked curiously.

Ashi snorted coldly, "What? Are there too many beauties around you now, so you don't want to see me?"

Lin Chen gave a faint smile, "Of course not. This place is so dangerous, I'm worried about you!"

"At least you have a bit of conscience." Ashi snorted softly.

"Did you just encounter something?" Ashi asked, puzzled.

Lin Chen's actions just now were too bizarre; he attacked without saying a word after seeing her.

Lin Chen looked speechless, "Didn't you encounter anything?"

Ashi nodded, "Along the way, I only saw you, and then you kept attacking me fiercely."

Lin Chen took a deep breath, "What's going on? I just encountered many illusions, all of my family and friends, and they attacked me desperately. Only by killing those illusions could I escape."

Ashi suddenly thought of something, "I understand now. These illusions are born from your thoughts; you must be overthinking and worrying too much, which created these illusions."

"So that's how it is! It seems you're quite capable, Ashi, managing to keep a calm heart," Lin Chen said with a smile.

Hearing Lin Chen's words, Ashi's cheeks turned red; she had just lied.

Actually, she had also encountered an illusion, and that illusion was Lin Chen.

In her heart, there was only one unresolved issue, and that was Lin Chen.

"Lin Chen, this place is very dangerous. You must leave Death Island with me immediately," Ashi said gravely.

"Why?" Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.

Ashi gave a bitter smile, "You think this is really a treasure? It's a sealed formation, sealing something terrifying. If it gets out, none of us will survive."

"So that's the case, meaning this trial was always a trap to wipe out the young strong individuals of Earth's plane in one go?" Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.

Ashi nodded, "Now, we don't have much time left. We must leave here immediately."

"No, I still have friends here. I can't go; I must stop those guys from the X Group from activating this seal," Lin Chen said in a deep voice.

"You!" Hearing Lin Chen's words, Ashi shook her head helplessly.

She knew Lin Chen's character; there was no way he would leave his friends behind to save himself.

"Alright, let's hurry then. Those guys from the X Group are probably already at the sacrificial altar to the seal," Ashi frowned.

"Yeah, staying here drives people frantic; we must find a way out," Lin Chen said coldly.

Ashi smiled faintly, "Your reaction isn't too bad; this oppressive atmosphere is a kind of poison that enters through the body's orifices and capillaries. Do you see those marks on the walls? They were left by strong individuals who mistakenly entered here and went mad under torture."

"I see now!" Lin Chen finally understood why he felt this way.

"What's our next step? This formation is filled with deception and reality, breaking it is too difficult," Ashi looked ahead and said in a serious tone.

"Since it's a formation, there must be a way to break it. Leave this to me," Lin Chen said coldly.

"You have a way? This formation was set by ancient deities; breaking it is extremely difficult," Ashi's eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness.

"Don't worry, I have my ways," Lin Chen smiled.

Lin Chen and Ashi continued to advance through the illusion. Just as Ashi had said, when Lin Chen calmed his mind, he no longer encountered any illusions.

Meanwhile, Lin Chen kept sensing the aura of the god-slaying sword.

Finally, not far away, Lin Chen suddenly felt a different kind of energy fluctuation.

"That should be the direction," Lin Chen pointed with his hand.

The two of them quickly headed in the direction Lin Chen indicated. Lin Chen led the way, relying on the information from the god-slaying sword, and Ashi closely followed behind.

Ashi's gaze lingered on Lin Chen's somewhat thin figure. It had been more than half a year since they last met, and this guy seemed stronger than before.

"Ashi, was this Death Island trial another scheme by the Dark Alliance?" Lin Chen suddenly asked.

"This time it wasn't us. The mastermind behind this is Yuan Tiangang," Ashi said seriously.

"Yuan Tiangang?" Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.

"Yes, this Death Island trial was essentially a killing ground. Anyone who sets foot on Death Island has no chance of escape," Ashi said gravely.

"So dangerous, and yet you followed in. But thank you," Lin Chen paused and looked at Ashi.

"Humph, don't overthink it. It's not because of you that I came here," Ashi's pretty face turned red, and she hastened her pace to walk past Lin Chen.

Lin Chen looked at Ashi's blushing cheeks, and a warmth filled his heart.

Her red face already said it all.

At this time, Ashi looked at the distorted space in front, eyes narrowing slightly, "Seems like we've found the exit."

Lin Chen nodded, pointing a finger, and the god-slaying sword quickly returned to his hand from the cave entrance.

"Is it this dagger that's been guiding you?" Ashi's eyes showed surprise.

Lin Chen nodded, "Yes, otherwise, we would've been wandering inside for days and nights."

The two stepped out of the space and appeared in a spacious great hall.

In the center of the hall stood a huge sacrificial altar.

On both sides of the altar, fresh blood continuously flowed slowly onto the altar.

What is this! Looking at the blood flowing down from above, Lin Chen's eyes narrowed.

Ashi took a deep breath; the blood belonged to those who ventured in search of treasure.

"Damn it!"

Lin Chen's eyes narrowed, his heart becoming increasingly anxious.

He didn't know how Zhang Yu and the others were doing.

Seeing the blood continuously dripping from above, Lin Chen could imagine that quite a few had died here.

Lin Chen looked at the altar, eyes cold, "So that's the place to activate the seal?"

Ashi nodded, "Yes, once the blood fills up the runes, along with some special methods, the seal can be activated."

"We must stop this seal from being activated," Lin Chen said with a heavy heart.

The seal wasn't even activated yet, and so many had already died. If the seal were activated, and the monster came out, more people would die.

At this moment, Ashi's eyes narrowed, looking behind the altar seriously, "There are people behind the altar."

As soon as she spoke, Lin Chen looked towards the altar, and sure enough, three figures slowly emerged from behind it.

Seeing the three figures appear, Lin Chen's eyes instantly narrowed.
