Peerless War God

0In the temporary cave abode, Chen Xiao clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were filled with fury and unwillingness.    

    

Damn it, so this so-called Unparalleled Secret Realm was a huge trap from the start. Everyone had fallen into the trap of the Divine Emperor.    

    

If he could leave alive, he would definitely kill the Divine Emperor to vent his anger.    

    

"What a Divine Emperor! He actually set up such a trap. No wonder he was so kind. He did it on purpose. Damn it."    

    

Chen Xiao cursed.    

    

When Xi Luo saw this, he advised, "Don't get angry. Things might not be as bad as you think."    

    

"What do you mean?"    

    

"If it's really as you think, this is a trap for sure to die. Then why did the Divine Emperor send his son in as well? You have to know that no one other than the royal family is allowed to enter the Unparalleled Secret Realm. Li Zhan also obtained a great opportunity in the secret realm. His strength has increased by leaps and bounds. Perhaps there is something we don't know about."    

    

Xi Luo's tone changed as he tried to explain.    

    

"This..."    

    

For a moment, Chen Xiao was also confused.    

    

If this was really a place for the five elements to heal the injuries of the strong, it was indeed as Xi Luo said. The Divine Emperor shouldn't have sent his son in as well. Even the Third Prince had followed him in.    

    

If this Unparalleled Secret Realm was really a place for the strong to heal their injuries, then the Divine Emperor didn't need to do this. It was not worth it.    

    

"Indeed, why is that? Is the Divine Emperor really that cruel? Is he really going to send his son to his death?"    

    

Chen Xiao said in disbelief.    

    

"The five elements are the earth, and I have only heard of it from ancient books. It might not be true. We have to be careful, especially to ensure that the Third Prince is alive. Since the Divine Emperor has allowed the bloodline of the royal family to enter this secret realm, there must be a reason."    

    

Xilo said.    

    

"En, that's the only way. This secret realm is too strange, and there are many secrets. We have to be extremely careful. The most important thing right now is to heal and recover."    

    

Chen Xiao said in a deep voice, forcing himself to calm down.    

    

Since he had come, he had to be at ease. Since he had come, there was no point in complaining or being angry.    

    

Since the Divine Emperor had said that the passageway would only open ten years later, that meant that as long as he could persist in this secret realm for ten years, he would be able to return safely.    

    

But on second thought, if it was really that easy, the death rate in the secret realm shouldn't be so high. Why?    

    

It seemed that there were still many secrets in the Unique Secret Realm that he didn't know about.    

    

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao stopped thinking about it. He first needed to heal his injuries.    

    

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, a month had passed.    

    

On this day, Chen Xiao suddenly opened his eyes, and his eyes were a little ugly. "What happened? My mana?"    

    

"Your feeling is right. Your mana is being lost. Although the speed is very slow and difficult to detect, it is real."    

    

In his soul sea, Xilo said indifferently.    

    

Chen Xiao was shocked, "Xilo, are you serious?"    

    

"Yes. For the past month, I have been observing the secret realm and your condition. I found out that your magic power is being drained, as if it was being devoured and absorbed by the entire space. After that, it merged with the secret realm and disappeared."    

    

Xilo said slowly.    

    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao's face turned ashen. It seemed that there was really something wrong with this place.    

    

"This secret realm is really too strange. It can actually devour magic power. If this goes on, even if it is an Immortal Realm expert, the magic power in his body will be completely drained."    

    

Chen Xiao cursed loudly.    

    

He now understood why the God Emperor set a ten-year time limit. It turned out that the longer one stayed here, the more magic power one would lose. If one stayed for a long time, wouldn't he become an ordinary person?    

    

Thinking about it, it was too terrifying.    

    

"So that's how it is. I understand." Suddenly, Xilo shouted.    

    

"What?"    

    

"It is indeed the five elements growing the earth. However, it revolves in reverse. In this way, it becomes the five elements dying the earth. Even if it is a powerful expert, after staying here for a long time, he will become extremely weak. If my guess is correct, this place should be a prison."    

    

Xilo said slowly.    

    

For a moment, a huge storm raged in Chen Xiao's heart.    

    

"Prison, a prison that imprisoned super-powerful people. Is that possible?"    

    

"Very likely."    

    

"Does that mean that the so-called fortuitous opportunities in the Unique Secret Realm are actually these super-powerful people that are imprisoned here? Hiss, this is really too terrifying."    

    

Xilo nodded and said, "Your guess is very reasonable, but before I see the real thing, I still have to be careful."    

    

"I know."    

    

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up, and he found his target in an instant.    

    

If that was really the case, then the super-powerful people that were imprisoned here would have been extremely weak long ago. He would definitely be able to obtain a lot of benefits from them.    

    

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao's eyes flashed with greed. It seemed like this trip was really right.    

    

To a cultivator, a fortuitous opportunity was something that could only be encountered by chance. How could he miss such a great opportunity?    

    

Thinking of this, he stood up and waved his hand, removing the barrier and walking out.    

    

As soon as he left the temporary cave, he saw the Third Prince sitting cross-legged on a stone wall not far away. His face was filled with fear. When he noticed the commotion, he turned his head to look at Chen Xiao.    

    

"Brother Chen Xiao, you, you came out of seclusion?"    

    

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "En, you also noticed it?"    

    

The Third Prince was shocked and almost jumped up, "Brother Chen Xiao, you also noticed that your magic power has been lost. This is too terrifying. I thought that there was something wrong with my cultivation. In just a short month, the magic power in my body has been lost by nearly 10%. If it wasn't for the fact that I continuously ate pills to replenish my magic power, I would have lost even more. This is too terrifying. What is going on?"    

    

In just a month, 10% of his power had been lost? This speed was indeed shocking.    

    

It seemed that the weaker the cultivator, the faster the cultivator's mana would be lost. In comparison, Chen Xiao was much better.    

    

Seeing Chen Xiao's calm expression, the Third Prince felt a little more at ease.    

    

Although the mana was strange and terrifying, it seemed that Chen Xiao had a way to deal with it. That was good.    

    

"Brother Chen Xiao, what exactly is going on?" The Third Prince asked.    

    

"There is a problem with this secret realm. It will devour the cultivator's mana. Not only us, but also the others."    

    

Chen Xiao said indifferently.    

    

"What? It's actually like this?" The Third Prince was shocked when he heard this. Then, a new question appeared in his heart.    

    

"Brother Chen Xiao, if that's the case, why didn't the Wind Bats that I met before seem to be affected?"    

    

The Third Prince asked with a puzzled expression.    

    

Chen Xiao recalled for a moment before saying, "I fought with the Wind Bats before. Their mana was very little, and they relied more on the power of their flesh and blood. I thought it was strange before, but it turned out to be like this."    

    

As a result, his previous doubts were resolved.
