CHAPTER 1294: CHAPTER 1294: JING YAN CHALLENGES THE FORMATION

Charging through the Red Demon Array only ends when you’re defeated in battle.

The Martial Artist entering the array certainly cannot use their real body; otherwise, they would truly die in there. The rules and order of the Red Demon Array can almost perfectly replicate a virtualized body corresponding to the Martial Artist. Once this virtualized body dies inside the Red Demon Array, the trial for the Martial Artist is immediately over.

"Bao Zhen, go ahead!" Lord Kuai Rong nodded to Bao Zhen.

"Yes!" The virtualized Bao Zhen responded, then rushed toward the terrifying vortex.

"Swish!"

The virtualized Bao Zhen disappeared from Jing Yan and the others’ sight. From that moment, the time for the trial began.

From the outside, Jing Yan and the others couldn’t see Bao Zhen’s situation inside the array. Therefore, they didn’t know how Bao Zhen’s virtualized body was fighting within the Red Demon Array.

However, based on previously obtained information about the Red Demon Array, Jing Yan understood that battles inside were extremely fierce. Even the Nine Tripods Main God could hardly last long in the array.

The people in the arena didn’t have to wait too long.

Seated in meditation in the arena, Bao Zhen’s body slightly trembled.

At this moment, Lord Kuai Rong’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Martial Artist Bao Zhen, you lasted for two hundred and thirteen breaths in the Red Demon Array," Lord Kuai Rong announced.

Two hundred and thirteen breaths were the trial results for Bao Zhen, the Nine Tripods Main God.

"Thank you, Lord Kuai Rong!" Bao Zhen then stood up and bowed to Lord Kuai Rong to express his gratitude.

"Congratulations, Brother Bao!"

"Haha, surviving over two hundred breaths, Daoist Bao Zhen is indeed strong."

"This score should rank him in the top ten, right?"

Some Nine Tripods Main Gods congratulated Bao Zhen.

Jing Yan also understood that lasting two hundred breaths inside the Red Demon Array was considered a very good result.

"Martial Artist Liu Zhu, prepare yourself." Lord Kuai Rong turned his gaze to another Nine Tripods Main God.

The Nine Tripods Main God called Liu Zhu immediately responded and sat down in meditation.

Another red beam shot out from the vortex of the Red Demon Array, landing on Martial Artist Liu Zhu. A virtualized body then appeared before everyone, looking identical to Martial Artist Liu Zhu, with an aura that was extremely similar.

"Martial Artist Liu Zhu, you lasted for two hundred and eight breaths in the Red Demon Array." After Liu Zhu’s virtualized body fell in battle inside the array, Lord Kuai Rong announced the results.

"Martial Artist Chen Qu, you lasted for two hundred and forty-four breaths in the Red Demon Array."

"..."

One by one, the virtualized bodies of Martial Artists continued entering the Red Demon Array to complete their trials. The trials of the Nine Tripods Main Gods were ahead of the more than three hundred Martial Artists including Jing Yan.

Jing Yan roughly understood that a Martial Artist of the Nine Tripods Main God Realm could last about two hundred breaths inside the Red Demon Array. If they could surpass two hundred and thirty breaths, they were considered a pretty formidable Nine Tripods Main God.

When all twenty-two Nine Tripods Main Gods had finished their trials, one among them, the strongest, managed to last over two hundred and eighty breaths inside the Red Demon Array.

Besides him, two others also lasted nearly two hundred and eighty breaths. Out of the twenty-two, only five lasted over two hundred and fifty breaths. The rest couldn’t manage two hundred breaths.

After the Nine Tripods Main Gods completed their trials, it was finally the turn of the more than three hundred Martial Artists including Jing Yan.

The first to enter the Red Demon Array for the trial was a Martial Artist of the True Origin Main God Realm. This True Origin Main God’s virtualized body, upon entering the Red Demon Array, fell in battle after just under fifty breaths.

However, neither the Martial Artists in the arena nor those in the great hall around them mocked this True Origin Main God. Evidently, to everyone, a True Origin Main God lasting over forty breaths was already considered quite good.

The pace of the trial was very fast.

The Martial Artists, like Jing Yan, who passed the Four-Round Immortal Bridge Meeting and qualified for the trial, had their virtualized bodies continuously enter the Red Demon Array, only to quickly meet their demise inside.

The True Origin Main God generally lasted around fifty breaths. Even the stronger True Origin Main Gods struggled to surpass seventy breaths.

The Three Flowers Main Gods were relatively stronger. An average Three Flowers Main God could last over a hundred breaths. The powerful Three Flowers Main Gods could even last over one hundred and fifty breaths.

Jing Yan noticed that the Three Flowers Main Gods, who formed four Divine Core Flowers, could last around one hundred and seventy to one hundred and eighty breaths. They weren’t much inferior to the more average Nine Tripods Main Gods.

"I don’t know how long I can last inside the Red Demon Array." Jing Yan pondered with a frown.

"It seems that if I want to get a chance to ascend the Immortal Bridge, I have to last at least over a hundred and seventy breaths inside the Red Demon Array to have hope. To have certainty, I need to last over one hundred and eighty breaths," Jing Yan secretly analyzed.

"I’m afraid it’s very difficult."

"With my current combat power, I can still manage against those Three Flowers Main Gods with three Divine Core Flowers, but if I face those with four Divine Core Flowers, I fear I won’t be able to compete. And those Three Flowers Main Gods with four Divine Core Flowers can only last between one hundred and fifty to one hundred and eighty breaths in the Red Demon Array." Jing Yan frowned slightly.

...

"Next, Martial Artist Yan Jin, prepare!" Just as Jing Yan was still contemplating, Lord Kuai Rong’s voice came through.

"Yes!" Jing Yan quickly gathered his thoughts and responded as he sat down in meditation.

"It’s Yan Jin’s turn!"

"How long can this True Origin Main God last inside the Red Demon Array?"

"Hard to say. Before him, nearly a hundred True Origin Main Gods already entered the Red Demon Array, and yet the longest any of them lasted was just under a hundred breaths."

"This Martial Artist Yan Jin is not like the typical True Origin Main Gods. You’ve seen how he killed the Three Flowers Main God Tong Zhen before. I think he can surely last over a hundred breaths inside the Red Demon Array."

"Hmph, lasting a hundred breaths is meaningless. To get a chance to ascend the Immortal Bridge, he needs to last at least one hundred and seventy breaths. It’s impossible for a True Origin Main God like him to achieve that!"

Numerous Martial Artists, both in the arena and in the surrounding great halls, fixed their eyes on Jing Yan as he sat in meditation. They speculated on what kind of result this Yan Jin God Alchemist could achieve inside the Red Demon Array.

At this moment, from the vortex of the Red Demon Array, a red light swiftly swept toward Jing Yan.

The red light connected with Jing Yan’s body. Jing Yan only felt his Divine Soul slightly quiver as a mysterious energy enveloped him. Then a shadow materialized before him.
