Chapter 1088

Zi Chen pointed his finger again. It was the same hand seal, the same speed, and the same amount of Yuanli. The power was almost the same as the previous attack.

However, this action, which was almost the same as the previous one, made the disdainful brawny man's expression change dramatically in the next moment.

Zi Chen's attack was not exactly the same as the previous one. There was a slight difference in the middle. The Thunderbolt Finger he used was originally an index finger, but now it was a middle finger. Moreover, the entire middle finger was pointing vertically at the brawny man.

Of course, the reason why the brawny man's expression changed was not because of Zi Chen's seemingly insulting action, but because of the extremely inconspicuous phalanx bone that flew out from between his fingers. The phalanx bone was old and clumsy, like a bone that was about to be weathered by the wind and sun. It was ordinary without any bright spots.

However, it was precisely this finger bone that fused together with the finger imprint that descended from the sky. This fusion was extremely perfect. Because of that, the Lightning God's Finger, which previously had no inner substance and only had a superficial appearance, now possessed an inner substance. As for that inner substance, it was naturally the Divine Might within the Lightning God's Finger.

This divine might was extremely small, just a trace. However, this trace of divine might was equivalent to adding the power of the rules into an ordinary attack. Whether it was the grade or the power, it was stronger by one or even several levels.

This was the most fundamental change, just like the difference between the Human element and the Earth element.

"Ha."

The finger seal pressed down on the brawny man's head. The brawny man felt the pressure was so great that he almost couldn't breathe. He gritted his teeth, raised his Qi, and roared. The power in his body was instantly mobilized to the limit, and he held the flaming spear in front of his chest to block.

At the same time, he still felt uneasy, so he mobilized the power of rules here again to form a stronger spatial light shield.

After the double layer of defense was completed, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the finger seal with divine power in the sky had already descended.

The Thunderbolt Finger Seal was glowing, and so was the brawny man. The two rays of light collided under everyone's gaze.

"Boom."

The two rays of light exploded, and the power of thunder raged in all directions. In the continuous explosion of energy, the spatial defensive light shield was heavily attacked, and the brawny man's body was directly sent flying.

In the process of flying backwards, the spatial light barrier around the burly man trembled violently, as if it was about to shatter. At the same time, the flame spear in his hand directly flew out of his hand, penetrating the light barrier and flying into the distance.

The sturdy man coughed out large mouthfuls of blood as the light shield around him shook violently. Then, fine cracks appeared on the light shield like a spider web.

When the burly man's body hit the ground heavily, the spider web on the spatial light barrier reached its limit and finally exploded with a bang.

A single strike had broken through the barrier of light.

When everyone saw this scene, they were completely stunned.

The phalanx flew back into Zi Chen's middle finger.

The flaming spear fell into the distance, and the muscular man crawled up from the ground. His face was filled with shock, and there was also a trace of uncontrollable fear.

"You …" He pointed a trembling finger at Zi Chen, his previous arrogance long gone.

"Die!"

In order to prevent the burly man from breaking through the barrier of light again, Zi Chen decided to kill him immediately. He clenched his fist and threw a punch from afar.

Gold and silver light flowed, and a fist light shot out from his body like a cannonball, hitting the burly man's body.

Without the barrier of light, the burly man's true strength was only in the Mortal Origin Realm. There was no need to fear him. In front of Zi Chen, such an existence was just a matter of one punch.

The fist light landed on the burly man's body and exploded. His last struggle was in vain. The moment the fist light exploded, his body also exploded. In the sky, pieces of flesh flew, and a rain of blood poured down.

It seemed that in this world, no matter who it was, the blood in their body would suddenly increase by a lot. As long as they died, there would be a rain of blood, and a lot of it.

A finger and a punch had killed the burly man. The first stage had been passed just like that. It sounded easy, but in fact, it was not easy.

Lv Peng stepped forward again and picked up the flaming spear that had fallen. There were no more attacks along the way, so he took the spear back. Everyone looked at it carefully.

"There doesn't seem to be anything special about it."

After Zi Chen checked every part of the spear, everyone came to the same conclusion. It was a Soul Weapon, and there was no special effect on it.

But just now, it almost took Lv Peng's life.

"I think it should be because of this world. It has nothing to do with the spear. Not only us, but others are also like this." Su Mengyao suddenly said.

Everyone released their spiritual sense and extended it to the battlefield that was about to end. As they extended their spiritual sense, they found many injured people lying on the ground. Their injuries were not serious, and could be said to be only superficial wounds. But the bleeding could not be stopped.

It was the same as Lv Peng's situation. As the blood flowed out, it was accompanied by the loss of life force.

They found more than ten similar situations. In the end, everyone came to the conclusion that this world was very strange, very strange.

In the underground of this world, there were lines of runes that covered the entire ground. Whenever blood fell and seeped into the ground, the runes would light up and absorb the blood. At the same time, the blood would be transported through the runes to the end of the runes.

At the end of the lines, there was a sea of blood. Waves of blood churned in the sea of blood, and at the center of the sea of blood, there were two black figures sitting cross-legged. They floated above the sea of blood, and no matter how the sea of blood churned, they would not sink.

These two were the two Demon Sovereigns from before. They did not expect to come here. At this moment, they were using the blood and life force in the sea of blood to heal their injuries and improve their strength.

Outside the sea of blood stood the prince and the Demon who had entered earlier. The two of them were guarding the two Demon Sovereigns outside the sea of blood.

"Prince, the Demon Sovereigns have not recovered from their injuries. Will they come?" Looking at the recovering Demon Sovereigns, the demon asked.

After a moment of silence, the prince shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be that fast. We flew here directly. The Demon Sovereigns said before that those humans need to pass through and climb the Stairway to Heaven. But look here, the Stairway to Heaven has not manifested yet. It should take some time."

The demon nodded and then sighed, "I really did not expect Zi Chen to be able to summon the Flame of Life again. Even the Demon Sovereigns are shocked by his battle prowess. This person is really extraordinary."

Speaking of Zi Chen, the prince's expression immediately turned ugly. Thinking of the fear he felt when he faced Zi Chen, a trace of hatred appeared in his eyes. He immediately snorted, "It's just a human. Once the Demon Sovereigns recover, destroying him will be a matter of minutes."

Zi Chen and the others did not know what was happening at the end of the runes. After killing the burly man who blocked their way, the surrounding spiritual bodies looked at Zi Chen and the others with fear and rushed forward.

At the same time, the battle came to an end. The group of Devouring Wolves had all been killed, and many human cultivators had died as well. However, there were still many people alive, and they rushed into the depths.

During this time, when they passed by Zi Chen, those who were familiar with him nodded and greeted him.

Everyone stepped onto the second stage, but Zi Chen and the others did not, because they still had some personal matters to deal with.

The Seventh Princess was stopped by the Demon Ape, and at the same time, a group of demons were also stopped. On Mo Lin's back, the Seventh Princess looked at the Demon Ape blocking her way and frowned slightly. She asked, "Sky Splitting Battle Ape, as a member of the Demon Clan, why are you stopping me?"

The Demon Ape grinned and said, "I am not a member of the Demon Clan. I am just a Demon Ape. As for why I am stopping you, does Your Highness not know? Or is Your Highness playing dumb?"

In addition to the Demon Ape, Zhang Haotian and the others were also blocking her way. Su Mengyao was checking on Zi Chen's injuries, and the two of them had not yet arrived.

"I don't understand. Are you stopping me because you want to start a war with the Demon Clan?" The Seventh Princess's voice suddenly became cold.

"We don't dare to start a war with the Demon Clan. We just want to get back the reward that belongs to us. This happened not long ago, and Your Highness personally promised it. Don't tell me you have forgotten about it?" Lv Peng smiled faintly.

Although the two sides were talking and laughing, the atmosphere had already reached the point where swords were drawn. Once someone spoke, it was bound to be another fierce battle.

Among the demons, there was a murderous intent, but there were three people who were relatively calm. One was the Seventh Princess, the other was the middle-aged demon, and the last one was the Seventh Princess' mount, Mo Lin.

"Don't you see that we have also been deceived?" the middle-aged demon said indifferently.

"That's your Demon Clan's business, we never get involved. I only know that we almost lost our lives in order to help Your Highness. We can forgo the thirty percent of our power that you promised us, but we can't be less than the reward that you promised us." Zi Chen held the spear and pulled Su Mengyao over.

The two of them, one tall and one short, looked at each other, and neither of them gave in.

The Seventh Princess asked, "Do you really want it?"

Zi Chen said, "That is what we deserve."

The Seventh Princess smiled, "Well, here you go."

She decisively took out the promised Demon Illumination Crystal and threw it to Zi Chen. Just as Zi Chen took it, the Seventh Princess said, "Zi Chen, you have a strong personality. I like it. I wonder if you are interested in becoming the prince consort of the Demon Clan."

Zi Chen frowned and did not answer such a boring question.

After a series of laughter, the Seventh Princess led the demons away.

Beside Zi Chen, Su Mengyao looked at the back of the Seventh Princess, and there was a little displeasure on her face.

Zi Chen was the first to pass the first level and get the reward, but he was also the last to enter the second level.

If the second level was as difficult as the first, Zi Chen was not worried that the others would be able to pass smoothly. If it was easier than the first level, then obviously, there should be no reward.

This was Zi Chen's guess, but in this strange world, it was normal for there to be some strange things that did not make sense.

The second level was not that difficult. Some spirits passed and successfully received the reward. The process was much simpler than Zi Chen's experience, but the reward was not inferior to the quality of the flame spear.

Immediately after, the third and fourth levels were also passed, and they also received the reward. The guardians they encountered were not as strong as the strong man in the first level.

After realizing that they had miscalculated, Zi Chen and the others sped up and rushed toward the fifth level.

As they passed through the levels, all kinds of ancient beasts appeared, and they formed teams to kill the humans.

There was more and more blood on the ground. As long as they passed through the next level, the blood of the previous level would automatically disappear when they reached the next level.

All the blood was absorbed by the runes and entered the sea of blood. As the blood in the sea of blood increased, solid steps gradually appeared.
