An emotionless old voice was heard, and Huikong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He still had one day to recover from his injuries, which was more than enough.

The same was true for Zhou Quan next to him, but his expression was not very good. After all, with the strength he had shown so far, even if he participated in the second stage of the competition, he would probably be just cannon fodder.

Seeing him so depressed, Huikong asked in confusion: "Why are you so depressed? We still have four people, we should have more confidence in ourselves."

Zhou Quan did not hide anything and said bitterly: "We have felt their strength before. In comparison, I... I am still too weak. I may not be able to help much when the time comes."

Zhou Quan's eyes suddenly lit up as he spoke: "But Meng Chen is very strong, and with you and Zhou Chao, we can give it a try."

He thought of how Meng Chen had scared away Long Teng and the three Sanxuantian cultivators, and hope suddenly rekindled in his eyes.

Meng Chen was speechless about this. It was just that they didn't react at that time. If they really took action, he would not get any benefit at all.

Huikong also stared at Meng Chen eagerly, full of expectations for him.

Meng Chen said coldly: "Don't count on me. I will help, but I won't risk my life. Do you understand?"

The hope that had been burning in Huikong and Zhou Quan's hearts was extinguished again, and the expressions on their faces were very gloomy.

At this time, Zhou Chao also came out. He rolled out in the wind and sand in a mess, with many scars on his body.

Seeing this, Meng Chen's gaze fell on Huikong. They had also entered the Four Absolutes City, but Huikong didn't seem to be so embarrassed, right?
Huikong was also shocked when he saw Zhou Chao's wounds. He asked in surprise: "Zhou Chao! What happened to you?"

Zhou Chao gasped for breath: "They are people from the Three Mysterious Heaven Realm. I met them and was besieged by them, so..."

Huikong immediately helped to check his injuries, and after a while, his face became increasingly gloomy.

"No, the injury is too severe. I'm afraid I won't be able to recover to my peak condition in one day. No, I may not even be able to recover to my normal condition."

Zhou Quan's face, which had just shown a glimmer of hope, suddenly fell again. Two of them were defeated before the fight even started. How could Huikong and Meng Chen be his opponents?
Their gloomy look annoyed Meng Chen: "What a bunch of rubbish!"

Meng Chen took out the Four-sided Demon-Suppressing Box, injected true energy into it, and sealed off an area of ​​ten miles in radius. He then took out the Jade Disc of Creation and inserted the Time Dao Pattern.

"Buzz!"

With a roar, the Wheel of Time emerged from behind it in the Jade Disc of Creation. Sparse fragments of time fell from it, containing some scenes that had just happened here. All of them were shattered in time and merged into the Wheel of Time.

"town!"

Meng Chen clasped his hands together and released a circle of light with a diameter of ten meters, covering himself, Huikong, Zhou Chao and the others.

Zhou Quan couldn't see any clues and stared at Meng Chen in confusion, not knowing what he was doing.

Zhou Chao and Hui Kong noticed something and their brows furrowed deeper.

After a long while, Huikong's eyes flickered as he asked, "Is this a time formation? How many times?"

Meng Chen said calmly: "Beginners, it's only thirty times, which means you still have thirty days to recover from your injuries and prepare for the decisive battle, hurry up!"

When Zhou Chao and Zhou Quan heard this, they were filled with disbelief. Time, which had been extremely tight just now, seemed to be plenty after Meng Chen's move.

The key point is, this is the power of time. Can Meng Chen actually comprehend part of the avenue of time?
While they were surprised and suspicious, Meng Chen had already begun to comprehend the technique. After using the Heaven-Returning Technique once, it would take a month before it could be used again. This was fatal, after all, the competition was about to begin. Fortunately, there was the new ability of the Fortune Jade Disc, the Wheel of Time, otherwise they would have been in a hurry to go into battle.

Zhou Chao and Hui Kong took the initiative to communicate with Meng Chen, but were ruthlessly ignored. They could only look away in disappointment and recover from their injuries.

There was nothing they could do. They were in the wrong! They were the ones who first suspected and determined that Meng Chen had betrayed them. Now not only did he not betray them, he even got the token back, won the first stage, and helped them recover. They didn't dare to say a word.

While they were concentrating on preparing for the duel in the Life and Death Realm, the Sanxuan Heaven Realm did not relax either, especially when Long Teng threw Chi Hao's head in front of everyone.

There were nine of them left, the strongest of whom were Long Teng, Ku Muchun and Xuan Bingyuan.

Chi Hao is the strongest among the three of them, but now his head is here, which makes them have to be wary.

Long Teng said in a deep voice: "I have fought with Meng Chen before. He is very strong and even managed to evade my Holy Path Judgment through secret methods."

When these words were spoken, everyone except the three people who had followed Long Teng to fight had a look of horror on their faces.

Ku Muchun was wearing a black robe, revealing his wrinkled and dry skin, just like old tree bark.

His dark green eyes sparkled with a strange light: "Saint Path Judgment is a move that kills with one strike. It should be invincible in the same realm. How could it be that I couldn't kill him?"

Long Teng said in a deep voice: "He was indeed not killed, and after he revived, his strength is still very strong. Although he is no longer at his peak, he still has 70% to 80% of his peak strength."

This explanation made everyone fall silent again. Being able to evade the judgment of the Holy Way and still possess 70% to 80% of the combat power of the peak strength after resurrection was so terrifying that they became more and more wary.

After a long while, Ku Muchun asked, "What about the others?"

Xuan Bingyuan, who was standing aside with a cold face, had a flash of disdain in his eyes: "I met one, his strength is OK, but it's just so-so. I am strong enough to defeat him. If he is surrounded by helpers, he will definitely lose!"

Ku Muchun nodded: "That's great. Given the current situation, our chances of winning are very high. As long as we don't make any big mistakes, we will definitely be able to crush them all!"

After they finished their discussion, they began to recuperate and regulate their breathing. The next day, accompanied by a loud bang from the secret realm, a bloody world completely appeared before them.

Broken weapons, armor and dry bones were scattered everywhere on the endless sand dunes. In the wind and sand, a humming sound came from somewhere, as if someone was crying in grief.

Meng Chen put away the Jade Disc of Creation, closed the Wheel of Time, and the outside world appeared. When they stepped onto this bloody land, they had difficulty breathing and felt very depressed.

Zhou Quan took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Senior Brother Huikong, Senior Brother Zhou Chao, Meng Chen, I'm sorry, I can only do my best to take one away, I'm sorry."

Huikong patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay. It would be best if we could take one away."

Zhou Chao closed his eyes tightly, and the blood knife in his hand was flashing red light, increasing the murderous aura and killing intent.

Meng Chen, on the other hand, looked calm. He could deal with any challenge and accept any victory or defeat.
