Monsters Are Coming

Chapter 1460: Chapter 377: We Are the Real Protagonists (Part 2)

In their desperate breakout, they moved with such harmony that a single glance could convey their entire strategy.

It clearly remembered that time when they were trapped by the White Demon Elite in Broken Soul Valley, it was Ji Chen who used spiritual telekinesis to hold up the collapsing cliff, giving the entire army a chance to retreat.

When Ji Chen was exhausted and fell into the poisonous swamp, it burned the Life Fire and used its dragon body to shield him from the torrential energy rain, successfully taking them away.

Their friendship deepened over the long years of resistance.

They once shared the last piece of dry ration by the campfire, laughed out loud under the starry sky after a victory, and silently touched fists at a comrade’s funeral.

The hardships, the brink-of-death moments they overcame together, forged a bond deeper than blood.

At the end of this "journey of resistance," they fulfilled the promise made in the prison and completely overthrew the White Demon Dynasty.

They crushed the once lofty White Demon Clan into history.

By then, they had already reached the pinnacle of power in the White Demon World.

But it had no interest in ruling this small world after the White Demon Clan, choosing instead to bid farewell to Ji Chen, and prepare to return to its kin, to continue the climb it never completed years ago.

Ji Chen also chose to return to his Hometown World, letting his worn-out body return to its roots like falling leaves.

This bond, the Dragon Descendant never forgot.

In the Monster World, it would occasionally remember that old face covered in white hair.

That was the good brother who fought alongside him, who crossed life and death together.

Memories like the wind, gently brushing over the heart at times.

But it never thought of going to see Ji Chen again.

It believed that some bonds should remain at their most beautiful moment.

Ji Chen chose to rest in his hometown, while its journey still continued.

Rather than shatter this perfect farewell, it was better to let the good brother live forever in its memory, always as he was, in high spirits on the battlefield years ago.

Nostalgia can be treasured, but it should not become chains that bind.

This is the best tribute to those glorious years.

...

The memories sealed in the Dragon Descendant’s heart surged violently at this moment, unable to hide its shock when it saw Ji Chen suddenly appear.

Many questions were answered at this moment.

It suddenly realized that the reinforcements descending on the battlefield were indeed from this old friend.

Obviously, this old friend knew it was in desperate straits and led a mysterious army to assist in battle.

But new doubts kept surfacing in its mind.

It carefully observed Ji Chen, who was smiling broadly; his hair was indeed as white as in its memory, yet compared to the past, there were many differences.

On close examination, the whiteness was completely different from the then exhausted state, as if imbued with some power, emitting a faint glow, merely decorative.

Even more shocking was that Ji Chen’s face appeared much younger, with tight skin and the fine lines at the corners of his eyes gone.

The fatigue and senescence in his eyes had completely disappeared, replaced by a confidence that felt strange to it.

But it remembered clearly that, upon parting years ago, Ji Chen’s Life Fire was like a candle in the wind, and it had tried various ways to save him, but none could prevent Ji Chen’s life from decaying.

Years ago, Ji Chen expressed a willingness to go to the Super World with it.

It chose to refuse, because Ji Chen’s life was nearing its end and he couldn’t possibly survive in the Monster World.

But now.

The Ji Chen standing before it exuded a steady aura with a vibrant life force.

It didn’t understand what Ji Chen had been through.

Why he had become this way.

And why he was appearing in the Monster World?

Before parting, it had set the teleportation array in White Demon City with the space coordinates of Ji Chen’s Hometown World.

In its expectations, Ji Chen should have returned to the Hometown World, like falling leaves returning to their roots.

After 200 years of knowing each other, they had shared their pasts, so it was very familiar with Ji Chen’s background.

It was clear that Ji Chen was originally a being from the Mire World before coming to the otherworldly realm.

That world lacked Spiritual Energy, and there were no Spiritual Materials; technological development was limited by material limits, with no existence of Extraordinary Power.

Therefore, Ji Chen’s future should have ended in peaceful rest in his homeland.

Furthermore, why did Ji Chen have a connection with the forces of the Monster World, and why was this mysterious army under Ji Chen’s command?

Even disregarding damage to its own troops, why did it participate in this assistance war?

Lastly, how did Ji Chen know it was in trouble....

One question after another surged into its mind, leaving the Dragon Descendant utterly baffled.

These questions were beyond it, with no path to answers.

"Ji Chen?!"

Its voice was hoarse, the shock in its heart immeasurable.

"Are you wondering whether I should be dead already?" Ji Chen grinned.

The joy of showing off before an old friend, he finally experienced.

Seeing the shock in the eyes of the Dragon Descendant, he felt inexplicably thrilled.

"What exactly have you been through?"

"That’s a long story. Let’s settle the battle first, and then talk about the specifics... the show has just begun."

As he spoke, Ji Chen’s gaze swept toward the front of the battlefield.

The Dragon Descendant, hearing this, suppressed the tumbling emotions in its heart, and turned its gaze back to the battlefield.

The collision between the Battle Array Dharma Form and the Shadow Giant Hand was unfolding fiercely. Each strike from the Dharma Aspect could tear apart segments of shadow, but the Shadow Giant Hand could always draw new strength from the void, with countless minute shadow tentacles squirming at the wounds, swiftly healing them completely.

At this moment, the ground trembled.

A huge black shadow slowly rose from deep within the Devouring Clan’s formation.
