Escape!
Leave this place!
I must leave this place!
That was the only thought in Qin Chen’s mind right now.
At this mont,
Qin Chen was at the top of a mountain peak.
The entire mountain was engulfed by raging flas.
The fire seed to swallow everything,
Even including Qin Chen’s life.
"Run!"
Qin Chen bit his teeth and frantically rushed toward the foot of the mountain.
The instinct to survive made his speed incredibly fast.
However, as a re mortal,
Running over such a rocky mountain, his feet naturally suffered severe injuries.
At this mont, his feet were already covered in blood.
Bang!
Suddenly,
Qin Chen stumbled and fell to the ground.
To be precise,
His whole body crashed onto countless sharp small stones.
The blood instantly gushed like a fountain.
"Hisss!"
At this mont,
Even Qin Chen, no matter how much he clenched his teeth, couldn’t bear it anymore.
He let out a piercing scream from his mouth.
Pain!
It hurt too much!
As Qin Chen’s body was pierced by cuts,
The flas actually started to burn through Qin Chen’s wounds, igniting his flesh.
The sensation of flesh being scorched was simply unbearable, making him feel like death would be a rcy.
Powerless.
In pain.
Despair.
All these emotions made Qin Chen’s will to survive drop to an extre low.
At this ti,
Qin Chen’s entire body started to catch fire.
Crackle and pop!
Sounds like flesh bursting rang out.
Qin Chen’s skin and muscles began to split open.
At this mont,
Qin Chen could no longer muster any strength at all.
He could barely keep his eyelids open.
Death.
This ti, Qin Chen touched and felt death closer than ever before,
Even more vividly than when Zang Qingyun and others had forced him to the edge of a cliff.
As if the next mont he closed his eyes, he would die here forever.
Was he really going to die like this?
Qin Chen asked himself.
No!
He absolutely couldn’t just die like this.
An overwhelming desire to survive erupted in his heart.
He hadn’t found his father yet!
There was also his mother whom he had never t.
There were too many unsolved mysteries he didn’t know about!
And there were many people he cared for.
Little Fairy, Lin Songyun, Zhao Tengqi, and his mysteriously originated and extrely helpful senior sister Shen Mirui, as well as Sister Xueefu...
He hadn’t even said a personal ’goodbye’ to his senior sister.
There were too many things he hadn’t done yet.
How could he just die like this?
No!
He couldn’t!
Absolutely not!
He had to stay alive!
Even if it was for them, he had to stay alive.
At this mont,
Qin Chen’s heart surged and roared.
Get up!
Keep running!
Leave this place!
If he left this place, he could survive.
Qin Chen began to struggle.
Struggling to rise from the ground.
Run!
Keep running!
The mont he struggled to stand up, Qin Chen no longer knew the condition of his body.
In any case,
The pain had reached a point where Qin Chen felt numb.
In Qin Chen’s heart, there was only one goal,
And that was to stay alive, to get out of this place.
One step after another.
The flas soared to great heights,
Making Qin Chen’s vision so blurry he could not see ahead.
However,
Even though Qin Chen’s eyes couldn’t see the target, there was one in his heart.
Therefore, at this mont,
Qin Chen still hadn’t fallen.
Endure!
Persevere!
Persevere again!
Qin Chen kept telling himself, he had to persevere.
Hang in there.
Even for those he cared about, and those who cared about him.
He had to hang in there.
He absolutely couldn’t just die here, for no reason at all.
He was firm in his belief.
He wouldn’t die here.
He couldn’t die here.
Until a certain mont.
When Qin Chen finally left the mountain peak, escaping the sea of flas to the foot of the mountain.
An astonishing sense of joy instantly enveloped Qin Chen.
He had left!
He had truly left!
He had survived.
Qin Chen was roaring in his heart, shouting, celebrating, congratulating.
However.
The next mont.
When Qin Chen saw his current state.
Qin Chen’s originally ecstatic expression slowly solidified.
Because at that mont, Qin Chen shockingly discovered.
His body had turned into a pile of ash.
"What’s going on?!"
Qin Chen was completely dumbfounded.
His body was gone?
Was he actually already dead?
Qin Chen glanced at the roaring flas atop the mountain peak, and the corners of his mouth suddenly revealed a hint of bitterness.
He suddenly felt he had been too whimsical.
He was just a re mortal.
How could he possibly have escaped from such a massive fla?
It’s likely that even a Martial Artist in the Body Refining Realm would be burned to ashes, right?
Let alone himself?
"Am I really dead?"
Qin Chen asked himself in his heart.
No!
I’m not dead yet!
At least, my will is still alive.
Qin Chen’s inner roar surged.
"Congratulations, Trial Taker, you have passed the final trial of the Asura Ancestral Land, please proceed ahead to receive your reward."
At that mont.
A familiar voice sounded in Qin Chen’s ears.
Qin Chen suddenly found.
Everything around him had returned to normal.
His body, too, had returned to normal.
And his Cultivation, including... the God Devouring Crystal.
"Was everything just now really an illusion?"
Qin Chen was stunned.
It felt like he had just had a dream.
"You’re not wrong, what you just experienced was an Illusion Realm."
The Little Fairy’s voice sounded.
"How could an illusion be so real?"
Qin Chen couldn’t believe it.
The burning pain in his heart, Qin Chen still rembered it now.
Just thinking about it made his heart unwittingly clench.
"The reason it was so real is because that illusion was a Heart Formation."
The Little Fairy spoke.
"Heart Formation?" Qin Chen raised an eyebrow.
"A Heart Formation is an illusionary array designed to target a Martial Artist’s will."
"All the content of the illusion cos from the Martial Artist’s own heart, which is why you felt everything was so real."
The Little Fairy explained.
"My own thoughts? An assessnt targeting will?"
Qin Chen was shocked.
"What is true and what is false, what is real? What is illusion? It all cos down to the Heart Demon playing tricks."
"What the Heart Formation targets is your true self."
"If you believe you can live, then you will live."
"Similarly, if you believe you’re dead, then you... might indeed die!"
The Little Fairy said.
After listening to her, Qin Chen imdiately began to reflect on everything he had experienced during the Heart Formation Assessnt.
It seed to be just as the Little Fairy had said.
When he fell into the flas, he felt death.
As if he would die the next mont.
But.
Because at a certain mont, his desire to survive burst forth.
That was what ultimately allowed him to survive.
Even though, in the end, his body had turned to ash.
But his will, his heart, was still alive.
Perhaps it was because of this that he had passed the Heart Formation Assessnt.
"The two illusionary trials, the forr tested my Martial Arts Heart."
"The Martial Arts Heart must be firm in Martial Arts, not tempted or confused by anything external!"
"The latter, assessed my true self."
"All things, there’s no true or false, no good or bad, it all depends on how one thinks!"
The two illusionary tests caused a huge change in Qin Chen’s entire mindset.
"Go take a look at your reward, my intuition tells it should be a pleasant surprise for you."
At that mont.
The Little Fairy’s voice resounded in Qin Chen’s heart.
