CHAPTER 1297: CHAPTER 1297: THE THIRD DIVINE CORE FLOWER

At this moment, Jing Yan’s activity range was already very small.

Fifteen Red Demon Puppets were crowding in from all directions, suppressing Jing Yan.

Although Jing Yan’s Gravity Domain was strong, when simultaneously affecting the bodies of fifteen Red Demon Puppets, the effect was somewhat disappointing. Jing Yan was able to persist until now largely thanks to the teachings previously received from Senior Sun Zhao.

If it weren’t for Senior Sun Zhao’s teachings twice, which deepened Jing Yan’s understanding of the Domain’s usage, his Virtualized Body might have already been slain by the Red Demon Puppets.

"Boom!"

"Bam-bam-bam!"

Jing Yan’s fighting spirit was high, although he had been driven to the brink, he still did not give up.

"Whoosh!"

A scarlet giant axe came howling forth.

Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed, forcibly stimulating Divine Power, he exhibited the Nihility Domain.

The Nihility Domain was deployed, and Jing Yan disappeared from where he stood, but his body could not be propelled far by the Power of Laws before being intercepted by the Red Demon Puppets again.

A few more breath times passed.

"Roar!" From a distance, another familiar angry roar was heard.

This was the sixteenth Red Demon Puppet.

Sensing the approach of the sixteenth Red Demon Puppet, Jing Yan’s eyes showed a trace of faint helplessness. With the surrounding fifteen Red Demon Puppets, he was already driven to the brink. Now, another one had arrived. Jing Yan understood in his heart that he could no longer persist for ten more breath times.

Calculating the time, he had already held out inside the Red Demon Array for a full one hundred and fifty breath times. This time had exceeded Kuai Rong and Sun Zhao’s estimation. Both of them believed that one hundred and fifty breath times within the Red Demon Array was Jing Yan’s limit.

And now, Jing Yan’s trial had exceeded one hundred and fifty breath times.

On the Dao field, the expressions of those Martial Artists with Three Flowers Main God Realm were growing increasingly grave.

Persisting for one hundred and fifty breath times in the Red Demon Array was already among the stronger of the Three Flowers Main Gods. Those Three Flowers Main Gods who had birthed four Divine Core Flowers could barely persist between one hundred and fifty and one hundred and eighty breath times.

...

"No!"

"Even if I die in battle, I won’t give up!"

When Jing Yan’s eyes fell upon the sixteenth Red Demon Puppet, the helplessness in his eyes vanished completely, replaced by an even stronger and intense fighting spirit.

Even if I die!

I won’t give up.

That is the feeling of boiling blood!

"Kill!" Jing Yan roared angrily, his long hair flying, his eyes slightly red, with his breath condensed, all Divine Power from his Divine Sea surged and flowed forth through his body.

The Daluo Immortal Body was also continuously operating.

"Tearing sound~" A red axe light barely swept past Jing Yan’s waist, leaving a deep wound on Jing Yan’s abdomen.

Biting his teeth, Jing Yan’s Sword Intent Domain violently collided with the Red Demon Puppet that almost cut him in half.

This axe stroke, Jing Yan had barely avoided it, yet the axe light that spread from the axe left a deep cut on Jing Yan’s body. Had he been directly struck by the axe, even the Daluo Immortal Body would not recover in a short time.

One hundred fifty-four breath times!

One hundred fifty-five breath times!

Jing Yan was still persisting, madly fighting the Red Demons.

At this moment, seated on the Dao field, Jing Yan’s body suddenly moved slightly, and a wave of energy fluctuations spread out.

Sensing the energy fluctuations from Jing Yan, most of the Three Flowers Main God warriors around showed smiles.

It was over! This Yan Jin had persisted for over one hundred fifty breath times, but his trial had still come to an end. Although one hundred fifty breath times was quite good, aiming for the opportunity to Ascend the Immortal Bridge was now improbable.

Kuai Rong internally let out a light sigh.

"After all... still cannot Ascend the Immortal Bridge! What a pity, too bad. If the holding of this Immortal Bridge Meeting had been postponed for several tens of thousands of years, surely this Yan Jin would have had a chance," Kuai Rong silently thought to himself.

Sun Zhao, though his face remained expressionless, also felt some regret internally. He also believed that this Yan Jin warrior was remarkable. With the cultivation of a Main God, to persist over one hundred fifty breath times in the Red Demon Array, it could be considered a moderately significant feat.

Though regrettable, rules are rules; they cannot change, nor can they be changed.

Many Martial Artists around looked at Kuai Rong, the Great Ability, waiting for Senior Kuai Rong to announce Jing Yan’s trial results.

Kuai Rong’s mouth slightly opened, just about to announce.

"Wait a moment!" Sun Zhao suddenly furrowed his brow and spoke out.

"What is it, Senior Brother?" Kuai Rong looked at Sun Zhao, puzzled.

"Junior Brother, look at Yan Jin." Sun Zhao gazed at Jing Yan, who remained seated, and spoke to Kuai Rong.

Upon hearing these words, Kuai Rong was even more puzzled, with a look of confusion in his eyes, he looked toward Jing Yan.

"Huh?" At first glance, Kuai Rong uttered a sound of surprise.

The seated Jing Yan had unexpectedly not opened his eyes. Other warriors, upon their virtual bodies being slain in the Red Demon Array, would have immediately opened their eyes. However, Jing Yan at this moment still had his eyes closed.

"Senior Kuai Rong, why haven’t you announced Yan Jin’s results?" A Three Flowers Main God couldn’t help but urge.

Because Jing Yan’s results were already very close to those strong Three Flowers Main Gods, if delayed any longer, it would be unfavorable for those Three Flowers Main Gods who still had a chance.

Kuai Rong ignored the inquiry from the Three Flowers Main God, but looked at Sun Zhao. Sun Zhao then nodded at him.

Kuai Rong extended his arm, swiftly contacted the Red Demon Array vortex with Divine Power. After a mere momentary contact, he withdrew his Divine Power in the blink of an eye.

His expression was complex, and he looked at the warriors around and said: "Yan Jin warrior is still in the midst of the trial."

"How is that possible?"

"There were energy fluctuations just now, clearly indicating the virtual body had been slain. How can it be, still in the trial?"

"Senior Kuai Rong, aren’t you mistaken?"

"..."

Those relatively strong Three Flowers Main Gods were genuinely anxious.

Even those Nine Tripods Main Gods, who were uninvolved, each had puzzled expressions.

These people certainly dared not suspect that Seniors Kuai Rong and Sun Zhao would cheat for Yan Jin. Yet, the current situation was indeed inconceivable, hard to comprehend.

Just as the scene became slightly chaotic, Kuai Rong gestured down with his hand.

The seated Jing Yan on the Dao field, however, emanated a massive wave of energy fluctuations across his body. This energy incorporated Divine Power, Divine Soul Power, and other auras.

Everyone suddenly fell silent, their astonished gazes fixed on Jing Yan. To them, these energy fluctuations were not unfamiliar. It was precisely because they were familiar that they were exceptionally shocked, unable to utter a single word.

In Jing Yan’s abdomen, within the Divine Sea, above the Divine Core, a third Divine Core Flower was slowly blooming.
