Chapter 2116: Chapter 2084: Shadow Descendant Race

"I’m not some ghost thing, I’m... from the Shadow Descendant Race." Under Li Chen’s flames, the dark mist no longer dared to babble; it was genuinely afraid of being burned. Although their race appeared as a mass of dark mist, they weren’t really that afraid of the Power of Light and Flame.

But the temperature of Li Chen’s flame was just too high. If it continued burning like this, it wouldn’t take long for it to be reduced to ashes. How could it dare to hold on to a futile hope?

"Shadow Descendant Race?" Li Chen raised an eyebrow slightly, searching his mind carefully but found no information related to this race.

"Have you heard of it?" Li Chen asked several Supreme Treasures.

"I know, I know." At this moment, the Bagua Array Diagram spoke: "The Shadow Descendant Race doesn’t belong to the Seven Realms’ races, but is a race from somewhere else in the vast Starry Universe, outside the Seven Realms."

"A race from outside the Seven Realms." Li Chen nodded quietly to himself.

The Starry Universe is boundless, and although the Seven Realms were once considered the mainstream civilization of this Starry Universe era, it’s not strange for other races to have emerged in the corners of the universe.

The Bagua Array Diagram continued, conveying a series of information about the Shadow Descendant Race into Li Chen’s mind.

The Shadow Descendant Race is a unique race that resides in another part of the Starry Universe.

This race, though not strong in combat power, has an extremely formidable survival ability.

Their most formidable talent is a kind of ’Shadow Escape’, which allows them to escape in any direction by utilizing any shadow in a very short time.

In the vast Starry Sky, although many planets come with their own brilliance, even more places are shrouded in darkness, which for the Shadow Descendant Race, enables them to fully utilize their talents to the highest degree. Thus, it is essentially difficult to capture anyone from the Shadow Descendant Race.

Of course, although this talent is powerful, it’s a different story when faced with absolute power.

Encountering a being like Li Chen makes it even more different.

As the darlings of darkness, capable of distant escapes using any shadow, the Shadow Descendant Race stands no chance of escape when confronted with a Spatial Series expert who can casually slice through space.

"What are you, a member of the Shadow Descendant Race, doing here in the Heaven Realm? I refuse to believe there’s no other food in the Starry Universe that you’d have to come here to hunt." Li Chen casually glanced at the member of the Shadow Descendant Race and asked lightly.

Just now, this member of the Shadow Descendant Race had enveloped the entire Flying Boat and was evidently intent on draining everyone on board. Undoubtedly, those people were seen as food by it.

However, such things do not surprise Li Chen anymore.

The Four Realms are vast, with countless races, and it’s not uncommon for different races to see each other as food.

Just as humans eat Demon Beasts and other creatures, other races can consume them.

Only until now, Li Chen still dislikes consuming life forms possessing high intelligence.

"Uh... well..." The member of the Shadow Descendant Race hesitated upon hearing Li Chen’s words.

"Not talking? Then you have no value." Li Chen said calmly, lightly tapping his fingers, causing the temperature within the sealed space to rise once more. The Shadow Descendant Race member immediately screamed again, and this time more miserably than before.

Strangely, within that sealed space, even sound couldn’t be transmitted, so only Li Chen could hear the screams.

"I’ll talk! I’ll talk! Master, please stop burning, I’m dying!"

Li Chen once again reduced the heat and said, "Speak, don’t waste my patience."

"It’s... the Elders Faction in the race that sent me here." The member of the Shadow Descendant Race said softly: "Many years ago, a strange Star Boat I had never seen before descended on the main star of my Shadow Descendant Race, and after some conversation with our clan leaders and elders, they seemed to have reached some agreement. Later, I was sent to the Four Realms side, told to observe everything happening in the Four Realms, and report any unusual events."

Upon hearing these words, Li Chen couldn’t help but focus more intently.

If what this Shadow Descendant is saying is true, it compels one to ponder the implications. freёwebnovel.com

The Shadow Descendant Race is not particularly strong in combat power, but in terms of stealth and escape, they’re definitely experts. Such a race is well-suited to be spies.

But the Shadow Descendant Race’s orders were: to observe everything within the Four Realms.

So, who exactly wanted to observe everything in the Four Realms?

The deeper meaning here is quite intriguing.

At this moment, Li Chen recalled the conversation he had earlier with Little Cang.

"The Four Great Realms, something is watching!"

Clearly, the watching entity in the Four Great Realms won’t just be the member of the Shadow Descendant Race in front of him. The Shadow Descendant Race isn’t exactly a small race. According to the information from the Bagua Array Diagram, once, the Shadow Descendant Race, at the peak of its power, engaged in open war with the Ghost Realm among the Seven Realms and was forced to retreat into the depths of the Starry Sky after suffering severe losses at the hands of the Ghost Realm’s forces.

A race capable of waging war with another realm should never be underestimated. Although it’s said that the Shadow Descendant Race lost eighty percent of its combat power in that battle, who knows how much they have recovered over the years?

If the observers watching the Four Great Realms are indeed pre-era civilizations, then Li Chen could imagine that surely there are more such entities secretly watching the Four Great Realms.

"It seems the situation is indeed dire, no wonder Little Cang and others are unwilling to show up in the Four Great Realms." Li Chen shook his head quietly.

He remembered his encounter with Jun Zhixin and possibly the strong figure from the Ghost Race in the Ancient Battle Realm. No doubt, these people have already broken through the shackles of the Soul Realm, yet despite their powerful cultivation, they still don’t dare to appear in the Four Great Realms. On one hand, it shows their caution, but on the other, it highlights the unfavorable conditions in the Four Realms.

"This is supposed to be our world and home, yet we’re being forced not to show ourselves by a group of outsiders." Li Chen’s jaw clenched tightly.

"Master, I..." At that moment, the Shadow Descendant cautiously observed Li Chen and couldn’t help quietly speaking.

"You have no value anymore." Li Chen coldly glanced at the mass of dark mist, and the flames within the sealed space surged to an extreme in an instant.

Amidst the pitiful screams, the dark mist was incinerated into ashes.

Li Chen turned his head indifferently and continued forward.

Mercy?

Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself.

Moreover, this guy had already killed quite a few people, draining the True Elemental Blood Qi from the cultivators to their deaths. Why keep such a person?

Keeping it would be of little use, and letting it go would undoubtedly result in it revealing Li Chen’s existence, increasing the attention on Li Chen.

Might as well kill it cleanly and be done with it.

Yet, even Li Chen did not notice that after incinerating the dark mist into a pile of ash, a speck, minuscule to the extreme, the size of a molecule, floated out and, spinning within the Starry Sky, it locked onto the rapidly retreating silhouette of Li Chen.
