The light faded, and the area had been transformed into a massive crater, or rather, a grand canyon. This was a precision strike, for otherwise, this entire place would likely have been destroyed.
Inside the crater, Luo Chen coughed continuously, spitting out fresh blood. Even though he had used that energy close to the King of the Awakened twice in succession just now, he still had to use his own power in the end, coupled with the protection of the Taihuang Scripture, to barely block it! But at this moment, he truly felt like a lamp running out of oil, because if he were to use his own power one more time, he was afraid his body would really disintegrate.
“If your strength were at its peak, you would not be in such a miserable state,” that Taoist priest said. He seemed to know Luo Chen extremely well and had seen through the clues.
“If my strength were at its peak, none of you would be able to leave today!” Luo Chen coughed again, and blood dripped down.
“Boasting without shame, it would be useless even if your strength were at its peak.” Luo Chen sneered immediately after, turning into a flash of lightning and flying into the distance.
“Hmph, do you think you can escape?” Over a hundred international giants followed closely behind him in an instant.
“The place he is going seems to be the First Secret Realm!” One of the giants looked coldly in the direction Luo Chen was flying, revealing a hesitant expression.
“Hmph, let him be. He probably wants to use the First Secret Realm to teleport us all inside together,” King Kelu from the pyramid said disdainfully.
“However, opening the First Secret Realm requires two conditions, three million merit points and that key,” the divine monk from the snow mountain said.
“The first condition, three million merit points, I believe Luo Wuji has the strength to get his hands on it,” the giant from Mount Olympus sneered.
“But I do not believe that Luo Wuji can get that key from the hands of the King of the Awakened.” The giant from Mount Olympus was considered one of the most authoritative giants. Once he said this, everyone firmly believed it. Because he had quite a good relationship with the King of the Awakened in private. If he said it could not be obtained, then it definitely could not be obtained. Most importantly, it was said that back then, it was precisely because the King of the Awakened wanted to keep that key that the Horror Game issued an assassination order against him. Even if it meant falling out with the Horror Game, he refused to hand over the key, so how could Luo Chen possibly get his hands on it?
Luo Chen landed on the platform of the First Secret Realm. The international giants around him also flew or stepped onto the platform of the First Secret Realm one after another.
“Luo Wuji, give up,” the Black Phoenix also stepped forward and spoke. “If you give up, I will give you a quick death.” The Black Phoenix looked at Luo Chen. This was her last bit of charity towards Luo Chen, and also a repayment of the grace for Luo Chen not killing her.
“Hehe, what?” “Do you all really think you have me, Luo Wuji, completely cornered?” Luo Chen shook his head and sneered.
“Hmph, if there were only one or two international giants here today, with your methods, Luo Wuji, you might actually be able to turn the tables!” The Black Phoenix sneered. “But now open your eyes wide and take a good look. These are the top experts from all over the world, all gathered here. Do you think you, Luo Wuji, can still leave here alive?”
“If that were really the case, then our title of over a hundred international giants would truly be called in vain.” The Black Phoenix’s eyes were like lightning, especially the other woman beside her, holding a longbow, with a golden sharp arrow constantly aimed at Luo Chen. Indeed, if Luo Wuji could still run away under these circumstances, it would truly be a joke.
“That power you obtained in the Fourth Secret Realm can at most withstand two of our attacks.” “And what about after two attacks?” The giant wearing the Taoist robe looked at Luo Chen and sneered.
“How about this, Luo Wuji? You have indeed moved my heart. I am still short of a divine servant. If you agree to hand over the Crystal Skull to me,” King Kelu, currently standing proudly on the Pharaoh’s Serpent, said arrogantly. “I can spare your life in the name of the Hero King Gilgamesh!”
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the international giants around changed. Because above the international giants, those who can take that step can be called Heroes! The King of the Awakened had only taken half a step, which was already enough to look down upon many international giants. Let alone a Hero who had completely taken that step? And the king among Heroes was truly a demigod. After all, Gilgamesh was the Hero King written into epics and sung through the generations! Sparing Luo Wuji in his name meant it was truly possible to save him today. After all, no one would dare to easily offend the Hero King! Even the Black Phoenix, the Amazonian goddess, frowned deeply, revealing strong dissatisfaction. She was determined to kill Luo Wuji today. Otherwise, once it got out that she had become Luo Wuji’s maidservant, let alone her, it would be the shame of the entire Amazonian goddess clan! Today, she must have Luo Wuji dead! But once King Kelu spoke like this, she really hesitated. After all, with the title of the Hero King pressing down, unless some major figure from the West stepped forward, it would really be difficult to handle.
Everyone looked at Luo Chen. In fact, this was absolutely an opportunity. Because although it was somewhat insulting, at this point, any international giant would agree if they were in his shoes. Because the higher their strength, the more they feared death! Who would not cherish a chance to live? Moreover, following King Kelu was actually a good choice.
“King Kelu, this is a bit meaningless,” the one from Mount Olympus said, turning his chariot around. His gaze was icy as he looked at King Kelu from afar. The atmosphere suddenly became subtle. Because everyone had tacitly assumed that Luo Chen had already agreed.
It was just that suddenly a cold snort rang out. “Heh, what, are you all so certain that I, Luo Wuji, would agree?” Luo Chen looked at the international giants around him one by one, revealing a disdainful expression.
“Oh?” “You do not agree?” Let alone King Kelu, even the other international giants present were stunned.
“Agree?” Luo Chen smiled and shook his head. “What are you?” “How dare you say you want me to become your servant?” Luo Chen shouted coldly.
“Luo Wuji, I advise you not to reject a good offer and force me to punish you,” King Kelu’s expression instantly turned icy. After all, he thought highly of himself, and being reprimanded in public like this by Luo Chen made him lose a lot of face.
“Do you really think you can bully me, Luo Wuji, just because I cannot use my full strength?” Luo Chen sneered.
“Hmph, let alone you not being able to use your full strength, what if you could use your full strength?” “Furthermore, what if we are just bullying you because you cannot use your full strength?” The giant wearing the Taoist robe had the sharpest expression, and the cold light in his eyes shot straight at Luo Chen.
“Hehe, that is true. So what if my strength, Luo Wuji’s, is no longer at its peak? None of you will be able to leave today either.”
“Even at a time like this, you still boast with sharp words?” “You disappoint me too much, Luo Wuji. I will send you on your way!” The Black Phoenix was the first to make a move. Having reached this step, and finally having an opportunity, he actually gave it up like this, not to mention humiliating others. He was truly arrogant to the extreme.
As soon as the Black Phoenix prepared to make a move, the other giants also prepared to act. This time, some people did not hold back their strength at all. If this attack were to come down, it would be useless even if he had energy close to that of the King of the Awakened. After all, being close does not mean being the King of the Awakened. Even the King of the Awakened, if surrounded by so many international giants, would not necessarily dare to say he could resist it directly!
