Chapter 764

In the Ancient Road of the Strongest Trial, Zi Chen was running for his life. Before coming here, he had already prepared for the worst. However, when he really stepped in, he realized that he had still underestimated this place.

This was the Ancient Road of the Strongest Trial, but since it was called a trial, there should be a slim chance of survival. However, ever since Zi Chen entered, he had been chased. If he was not fast enough, he would have died long ago.

"Damn it, where is this second ancient road?" Zi Chen roared in his heart.

Although it was called an ancient road, it was more appropriate to call it a small world. This place was vast and boundless, and Zi Chen had not reached the end. However, this was a desolate small world. Other than the pursuers, Zi Chen had not seen any living creatures.

"Boom!"

Behind him, the energy surged violently, and a burst of Qi spread out through the air. A tall figure stepped out from the sky, holding a long blade that was as black as ink in his hand. The edge of the blade shone with a cold light. In the past few days, this black blade had caused quite a lot of trouble for Zi Chen.

The tall figure held the black blade and wore a black armor. A pitch-black helmet covered his entire face, and only his emotionless eyes were exposed. In addition to the black blade in his right hand, the figure also held a black shield with super defensive power in his left hand.

Seeing Zi Chen running away, the tall figure held the black blade tightly and slashed forward. A pitch-black blade light surged out from the tip of the blade, and with a terrifying aura, it slashed toward Zi Chen.

"Ha!"

Zi Chen shouted as the danger came. The Dragon Soul Spear appeared in his hand. After a dragon roar that shook the sky, Zi Chen waved the spear, and a thunder dragon phantom rushed toward the blade light.

The two energies collided in mid-air, and the violent energy kept coming into contact. In an instant, the area within a thousand meters was turned into a dark zone of destruction.

Zi Chen's already pale face turned even paler after this attack. This black shadow was like an unkillable cockroach. Not only was it powerful, but the weapon in its hand was also no weaker than the Dragon Soul Spear.

Furthermore, every time they clashed head-on, Zi Chen would suffer some injuries. On the other hand, his opponent was always able to dodge the energy shockwaves with his black shield.

"Human, die!"

A roar suddenly rang out from the sky. The black shadow from before rushed out from the turbulent energy with its black shield in hand. The long blade in its hand slashed directly at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen quickly retreated and brandished his spear. Once again, the Dragon Soul Spear shot out like a lightning dragon. Its entire body glowed brilliantly as it released a powerful energy.

Where the two energies came into contact, another area of destruction was formed.

Because Zi Chen couldn't dodge in time, he was hit by the energy shockwave. The blood and Qi in his body churned, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"It's useless. I can't be killed. Human, you should take the initiative to die and let me enjoy the delicious food. Speaking of which, I'm already hungry."

The hideous laughter rang out again. The black shadow rushed out again with its black shield. The energy aura around its body was still the same. Not only was it not injured, but it also didn't seem to have consumed any energy.

"None of the humans who entered this ancient road have successfully escaped from my hands. Human, accept your fate." The black shadow rushed out and slashed again with its blade.

Its attack was still as fierce and terrifying as ever.

Zi Chen was helpless. After a simple clash, he could only keep dodging. He had always been the one who took the initiative in battle, but he kept dodging in the confrontation with the black shadow.

When he was looking for the exit, he saw many human skeletons in the small world. The flesh on these skeletons had long disappeared. He didn't know if they had rotted or been eaten by the black shadow. However, no matter the former or the latter, it proved that this was a human cultivator who had entered the strongest ancient road.

Since they dared to enter this place, their combat power was naturally strong. However, they were dead. Moreover, the existence chasing after them at an extremely fast speed indeed gave people a feeling that they were invincible.

In the process of escaping, Zi Chen's consumption also increased. During this time, he didn't find the exit of the small world, but he saw more skeletons. Some of the skeletons were even glowing, and there was a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy in them.

Obviously, this was a real powerhouse. Moreover, it hadn't been long since they died. It should be more than a thousand years or ten thousand years.

Just like before, the black shadow quickly caught up with him and continued to slash with its blade. This time, the blade light was actually 85% sharper than before.

During the fierce battle, not only did the black shadow not consume any energy, but it also became stronger. This was partly because Zi Chen was getting weaker, but more because the black shadow had indeed become stronger.

"Human, I'm hungry. I don't want to play anymore. Let's fight to determine the winner."

The black shadow's aura began to soar, becoming more violent. At the same time, a powerful spiritual thought rushed out of the black shadow's sea of consciousness.

The spiritual thought was comparable to a bolt of lightning, rushing toward Zi Chen.

Zi Chen mobilized his spiritual thought to defend himself. With a muffled groan, Zi Chen coughed up large mouthfuls of blood. He felt as if his sea of consciousness was about to explode.

Unexpectedly, the black shadow's spiritual thought was also so terrifying. Zi Chen's face was already pale.

"Your spiritual thought is not weak. Let's see how many times you can block it."

The black shadow snorted coldly. Then, the powerful spiritual thought left its body again and raged toward Zi Chen like a bolt of lightning.

Silver light flashed on Zi Chen's back, and the Heavenly Thunder Wings appeared. While blocking the black shadow's spiritual thought attack, he also took advantage of the opportunity to retreat.

In the end, after withstanding the black shadow's spiritual thought attack three times, Zi Chen turned into a beam of light and successfully escaped again.

Just as Zi Chen flew away, the black shadow's eyes flashed and it muttered, "What strong resilience. If it were any other human, they would have died long ago."

This time, Zi Chen displayed his extreme speed and flew toward the end of the world. He was like an arrow released from a bow, moving forward in a straight line.

During this time, Zi Chen had flown for tens of thousands of miles until the Ultimate Energy in Abdomen was completely depleted.

"This time, I shouldn't be able to catch up. I have to find a way out and leave this place." Zi Chen took out a Blood Healing Pill and swallowed it.

The effect of the Blood Healing Pill was comparable to a small Treasure Pill. Zi Chen's injuries, which were not serious, were quickly healed. At the same time, Zi Chen swallowed another pill to recover his injured spiritual thought.

In less than a minute, Zi Chen's injuries were completely healed. However, the energy in his body was still in a state of emptiness.

There was almost no spiritual energy in this world. It was impossible to absorb energy from the outside world to recover. In desperation, Zi Chen could only swallow a Blood Vitality Pill.

Just as he was considering whether to swallow an ordinary Blood Vitality Pill or a special Blood Vitality Pill, the void behind him vibrated again.

"Brat, in my world, you can't escape." The black shadow's voice sounded again.

Zi Chen's expression instantly changed. He was shocked. "How is this possible? I displayed my extreme speed, but he caught up so quickly."

Just as he was crying out in alarm, the black shadow appeared from the horizon. As it approached, the black blade in its hand was raised high once again.

"You've used up all your energy. Die." The black shadow swung its blade at Zi Chen again.

Zi Chen could only swallow a special Blood Vitality Pill to quickly recover his energy. After blocking the black shadow's attack, he looked for another opportunity to escape.

The black shadow's attacks were extremely fierce, but Zi Chen was always able to find an opportunity to escape. However, after running far away, the black shadow was always able to catch up with him and launch a new round of attacks.

Time passed as he ran and stopped. However, in this place where there was no night, Zi Chen couldn't accurately calculate the passage of time. Unable to sense the flow of time, Zi Chen could only calculate by the number of Blood Vitality Pills he had swallowed.

So far, he had swallowed five special Blood Vitality Pills. This meant that Zi Chen had used up all his energy five times during the chase.

"How can this be?" After swallowing the sixth Blood Vitality Pill, Zi Chen's face was filled with confusion again.

The black shadow's speed was obviously not as fast as his, but he was still able to catch up with him after he had left him far behind.

Moreover, in this world where there was no energy, he had already consumed a lot of energy. However, the black shadow's energy was not only not depleted, but was instead becoming stronger.

The black shadow's situation gave Zi Chen an extremely strange feeling. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the black shadow to catch up with him again.

This time, Zi Chen began to run as soon as he saw the strange movement on the horizon. While running, he kept thinking about the strangeness of the black shadow. While running, Zi Chen naturally saw many glowing human skeletons again.

Zi Chen's face was filled with more and more confusion. He felt as if there was a layer of fog in his mind. He was only a little bit away from seeing through this place.

"Fog."

Zi Chen was suddenly startled. Then, his eyes began to shine. It was as if a bolt of lightning had flashed across his sea of consciousness, illuminating his sea of consciousness and dispelling all the fog.

"So that's how it is."

As if he had been enlightened, Zi Chen was suddenly enlightened. He understood the reason behind all the confusion. He instantly understood all the problems before and after.

After understanding everything, Zi Chen stopped running. Instead, he turned around and looked in the direction where the black shadow was coming from.

"Judging by the time, it should be here soon." Zi Chen's face was filled with confidence.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for a vibration to come from the horizon. The tall black shadow once again came with a saber.

"Haha, die, human."

When it arrived, the black shadow was still laughing wildly. It was ready to slash with its saber. However, it suddenly found that the human in front of it was very unusual this time. The human did not take out a weapon to block it, nor did he immediately run away. Instead, he quietly looked at it.

A trace of confusion appeared on the face covered by the helmet. The black shadow did not immediately attack.

However, this trace of confusion quickly disappeared. The black shadow sneered. "What? You know that you can't escape from my grasp, so you're not running and are waiting for death?"

As it spoke, the black shadow approached Zi Chen. A terrifying aura attacked Zi Chen. A feeling of oppression filled the sky.

"Yes, I don't plan to run." Zi Chen smiled.

"Well, since you're so tactful, I'll give you a chance to kill yourself. If you kill yourself, I can let your body go and not devour your flesh and blood," the black shadow said as it approached.
