Chapter 6568 Pure Yin Qi
Long Chen stiffened in surprise. He hadn’t expected that a single roar from him would cause the energy of heaven and earth to erupt so violently.
At this moment, he felt like the ruler of this world. His words bent the laws. Within this darkness, nothing could defy his will.
The void shattered, revealing an enormous disc that was forcibly dragged into this dark world. Countless star diagrams flashed on top of the disc, like a starry river was sealed within it.
The shattered void instantly healed, and chains shot out of the sea of blood, binding the giant star disc.
“Great nine star heir, why would you be in this endless Purgatory? What are you doing?” an ancient voice demanded. It was the same voice that had been calling out to Long Chen for years.
Ever since Long Chen first awakened the astral battle armor, this voice had attempted to communicate with him. Most of the time, the connection was broken; its replies were vague, irrelevant, or conveniently incomplete.
Eventually, Long Chen’s intuition had warned him that something was off. The voice was always telling him to hurry up, but never telling him the reason.
After encountering the so-called orthodox nine star heirs in the heaven region’s battlefield, Long Chen was flabbergasted. His understanding of the nine star line had been flipped on its head.
Now that the voice dared speak again, Long Chen roared, dragging the master of that voice across worlds.
“All these years you’ve told me to hurry. To get stronger. Was it so I’d rush to the Primal Chaos World only to kneel to your so-called Star Prince? You want me to become his follower?” Long Chen demanded harshly.
After he had spent all his life walking the boundary between life and death, having experienced and seen all kinds of schemes and plots, Long Chen’s intuition was screaming that this was another conspiracy.
“Great nine star heir, it’s not what you think. First, tell me what is going on here.” The elder’s frantic voice echoed from the disc.
When star runes continuously flowed on top of the disc, Long Chen’s gaze hardened.
“You’re trying to send a report?”
BOOM!
With a flash, Long Chen appeared in front of the star disc. Behind him, the bone throne shuddered, and waves of energy exploded across the dark world. The next moment, more chains appeared out of nowhere, locking down the heavens.
Darkness devoured the starlight coming from the disc, causing the entire star disc to grow dim. Now, its starlight was no longer able to spread.
“In that case, don’t blame me for being rude,” Long Chen growled, stars igniting across his fist.
“Great nine star heir, don’t be rash!”
More chains shot out, binding the star disc firmly. Long Chen’s astral energy instantly invaded its core. But all of a sudden, Long Chen found himself within an endless cosmos.
Nine clumps of stars swirled around one giant star—the Primal Chaos World.
Between the nine clumps of stars and the giant star, Long Chen saw faint threads. To him, they looked like secret passageways between the nine heavens and the Primal Chaos World.
Long Chen saw multiple star discs rapidly shuttling back and forth between the nine heavens and the Primal Chaos World. Starlight continuously flashed from those discs, sending specks of light into the nine heavens.
“I see. So a bunch of you are just messengers. You’re not trying to connect with one specific person.”
Long Chen instantly grasped the crux of what he was seeing. The disc before him was merely one of countless. Something in the Primal Chaos World wanted to summon them.
“Is it the Star Master Palace?”
Long Chen’s astral energy erupted as he tried to follow the disc to its roots.
BOOM!
Just then, that giant star disc exploded. It actually chose to self-detonate.
Long Chen’s expression was dark. Through the star disc, he managed to lock down a certain location in the Primal Chaos World. However, the star disc exploded before he could see into it.
Long Chen returned to the throne.
Suddenly, a strange sound startled him. He hastily rose and realized that the throne was covered in cracks.
At some point, the sea of blood had started to wither. The entire dark world felt drained, collapsing.
“Uh, did I do this...?”
Long Chen was taken aback. His earlier outburst had mobilized the power of the entire dark world, dragging out the star disc that roved between the nine heavens and the Primal Chaos World.
Moreover, he had also tried to seize the star disc’s memories. He hadn’t realized how much energy that required. It was several times more draining than when the Earth Cauldron had shown him the nine star palace.
“It looks like I’ve done something bad!”
Long Chen suddenly had a bad feeling. This place was his heart-devil’s home, and he had accidentally used up everything here.
...
While Long Chen was bankrupting the dark world, his heart-devil remained oblivious. The latter still held the sleeping Little Crane in his arms, staring blankly into the distance.
No matter where he looked, he sensed no connection between himself and this world. Only the tiny girl resting peacefully against him seemed real.
The white-robed Long Chen possessed immense power and intellect. Yet, somehow Long Chen always managed to get so many people hell-bent on following him.
Even after escaping Purgatory, the white-robed Long Chen still stood alone.
Hmph, only livestock form groups; powerful beasts always walk alone. I will conquer this world sooner or later. By then, the ten thousand Daos will kneel beneath my feet. Being alone is simply natural. After all, in the nine heavens and ten lands, only I will reign supreme.
“Then I’m at ease,” said Evilmoon with a disdainful tone.
“You—!” The white-robed Long Chen stiffened. He had forgotten that Evilmoon was linked to Long Chen’s soul; it heard every thought he had while occupying this body.
It was annoying not to be able to have any secrets, but there was nothing he could do about it. Furthermore, it was Long Chen’s will that controlled Evilmoon, so it also couldn’t force Evilmoon to do anything.
Suddenly, intense spatial fluctuations appeared from ahead, causing the white-robed Long Chen to narrow his eyes.
“Why are these fluctuations so familiar?” he asked.
“Because it’s the same as the heaven region’s battlefield,” Evilmoon replied, also sensing it.
Excited shouts rang out.
“Heavens, it’s the Rainbow Cranes!”
There was an ancient human city up ahead. Flying boats, carriages, and countless people were flying out of the city in a panic. However, their eyes widened when they saw the Rainbow Cranes.
“Heavens, the Rainbow Cranes have appeared! Our Wind Hold City is saved!”
Just as the Rainbow Cranes arrived, black qi covered the sky above the city and continued to spread.
“Pure Yin qi?” the white-robed Long Chen muttered.
The white-robed Long Chen instantly understood why these people were in such a rush to abandon this city.
