Capítulo 3530: Chapter 3550: I’ve Seen Him Alive—Bet You Didn’t Expect That, Did You?

Just as Lin Chen was feeling shocked, a golden light appeared out of nowhere, falling upon the giant ape that was frantically “transforming.”

The giant ape’s roar suddenly ceased, and its massive body abruptly shivered as if struck by electricity, shrinking a great deal and no longer displaying the terrifying rage it had before.

The giant ape’s eyes revealed a look of fear, and it ignored Lin Chen, dragging its stick as it turned to run, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye in the direction of the golden light.

Lin Chen watched this scene, his expression unusual.

What is the situation?

The giant ape lost in its strongest area, grew angry and transformed, attempting to regain its original strength, but was secretly stopped, even punished?

Lin Chen pondered for a moment, roughly guessing that this is the Heavenly God Arena, a test for the Sub-Saint adventurers entering here.

The giant ape could be said to be at the peak level of a Sub-Saint, if it transformed and regained its Saint Realm strength, who could withstand it?

What test is there, just kill everything with one stick.

Therefore, Chen Ancestor, who was secretly watching and hosting the Heavenly God Arena, prevented the giant ape from going berserk, stopping it from regaining its original strength, and sent it away.

Lin Chen breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully, if the transformation succeeded, it would have been unstoppable.

This is already the third level, is there a fourth level?

Lin Chen felt a sense of unease, after all, the giant ape that appeared just now was incredibly strong, even the Eight-Armed Arhat couldn’t defeat it, and the flying sword couldn’t inflict any damage, it was incredibly formidable. If something more powerful appeared, how would one fight it?

Lin Chen waited for a moment, but no new opponent appeared, instead, a teleportation gate suddenly appeared in the void, quietly floating in midair.

Lin Chen looked at the teleportation gate, his eyes lit up.

Have I passed the level?

Lin Chen put away the Linglong Tower, flew up, and with an excited yet uneasy heart, stepped into the teleportation gate.

In front of Lin Chen, the scenery changed, and he found himself on a floating island.

The floating island wasn’t very large, lush and green, with mountain peaks, a small lake, and a pavilion in the lake.

Lin Chen stood by the lake, and there were people in the pavilion on the lake, not just one!

Lin Chen looked up, his eyes falling on a familiar face.

Zhao Muran.

Although he already knew Zhao Muran was always ahead, seeing her here still surprised Lin Chen.

In Lin Chen’s impression, Zhao Muran was indeed very strong, but not as strong as Ning Hesheng and others, did she really make it to the end?

Not to mention anything else, how did she pass the giant ape level?

Lin Chen thought, Zhao Muran came from the Black Emperor Palace, her grandpa is a Saint, since he let her enter here, he must have prepared unknown numbers of powerful magical treasures and other means to enhance her strength, plus her own strong capabilities, reaching here isn’t impossible.

If I remember correctly, she should have a Wood Spirit Root, right?

When Lin Chen ran into her before, he injured her companion, and she used Divine Power to instantly heal that person’s arm, the green light emitted indicating her spirit root’s attribute.

If the spiritual root doesn’t match, she won’t be able to inherit Chen Ancestor’s legacy even if she receives it.

Chen Ancestor had an Earth Spirit Root, he may have other cultivation techniques or magical treasures for other spiritual roots, but his most powerful skills and divine powers should be of the earth attribute.

Of course, if Zhao Muran really got the recognition and inheritance, she could choose what would be useful for her, and whatever she finds unnecessary can be taken back.

Lin Chen personally thought Chen Ancestor put such complex assessments in place to find someone with an earth attribute for his legacy, not someone to just pack up his belongings.

Lin Chen immediately thought of another possibility, could it be that Zhao Muran also has an Earth Spirit Root?

I have Five Elements Spirit Root, so someone else having a dual spirit root isn’t a big deal.

As Lin Chen’s mind filled with thoughts, the people in the pavilion all turned their gaze to him.

Seeing Lin Chen, Zhao Muran’s face changed, she stood up suddenly: “It’s you! How are you here?”

Lin Chen looked around, this pavilion seemed to be the only resting spot, since everyone else was gathered here, he might as well join them.

Chen Ancestor said, after passing the Heavenly God Arena, there was one final level.

It means that he and those who have come this far will face the last challenge, and those who pass will receive Chen Ancestor’s legacy.

Lin Chen landed in the pavilion and smiled slightly at Zhao Muran: “Daoist Zhao, we meet again.”

Zhao Muran said sternly: “You different race slave, how did you come here?”

Lin Chen shrugged with a laugh: “I naturally came through the trials, same as you all did.”

Zhao Muran coldly said: “Where is Ning Hesheng?”

Lin Chen answered: “He is at the Heavenly God Arena, we came in together, but, well, I was just a bit luckier.”

Zhao Muran sneered: “You, a different race slave, what qualifications do you have to compete for Chen Ancestor’s heritage?”

Beside her, a middle-aged man echoed: “Indeed, the Heavenly God Clan is the ruler of this universe, Chen Ancestor is our Heavenly God Clan’s senior, his legacy isn’t something different race slaves can inherit.”

Lin Chen smiled: “Whether I’m qualified to compete or not is for Chen Ancestor to decide, not for you to say.”

Zhao Muran snorted coldly: “Chen Ancestor fell here, he may have perished long ago, you can’t just bring him up to try to pass yourself off.”

Lin Chen blinked in surprise, instinctively looking at the others, and found that everyone else had expressions indicating they thought the same way.

Lin Chen blinked, have none of these people met Chen Ancestor?

Did only I meet him?

Lin Chen felt a sense of absurdity, he originally thought in the Heavenly God Arena, everyone would see Chen Ancestor, but now realized just a few people were here, and only he had met him.

I really am the most special one!

Thinking about it, it’s not surprising, with Chen Ancestor’s status, during the Saint Fall Era, what powerhouse and genius hadn’t he seen? These people before him may be extraordinary, but in Chen Ancestor’s eyes, likely not too special.

But I, as a different race appearing here, not even as cannon fodder, and having a close relationship with Ning Hesheng, naturally drew some curiosity, and coupled with my performance along the way, ultimately attracted Chen Ancestor’s appearance.

Lin Chen thought that Chen Ancestor appearing must also have a purpose.

He was assessing Lin Chen in advance, not to determine if he was the chosen inheritor, but to initially determine if he had the qualifications to continue as a competitor.

If I didn’t pass and get his recognition, perhaps the Heavenly God Arena would be my grave. It was exactly because I passed that, even though the giant ape was berserk, Chen Ancestor secretly stopped it.

Impartial treatment.

Lin Chen sorted out his thoughts, feeling quite subtle.

You think Chen Ancestor is dead, haha, I’ve met him, alive!

Didn’t think that, did you?
