Chapter 2160: Chapter 2128: Digging Pits and Laying Traps
"What happened, why did it suddenly start raining?"
In the East Suburb Realm, within a forest near the Folded Space, Konggu Venerable looked up at the sky, puzzled, "It’s strange, the sky has no clouds at all, where did this rain come from?"
Unable to resist exploring with his Divine Sense, Konggu Venerable grew increasingly curious, "It truly is a rain without roots, born from the void. What exactly has happened?"
Meanwhile, Li Chen’s alter ego paused his work, shaking his head with a sigh, "Indeed, something major has occurred, and it’s an event most unfortunate for the Starry Universe."
"What kind of event?" Konggu Venerable couldn’t help but ask.
Li Chen’s alter ego shook his head, offering no explanation.
Although Konggu Venerable was an Eighth-Rank Heavenly Sovereign, after mending his injuries, Li Chen found that this guy was indeed quite strong.
Yet... he still wasn’t qualified to touch upon this level.
Even Li Chen, due to his unique status and being favored by the Supreme, only was privy to some matters of this grade. Otherwise, even with his cultivation, he wouldn’t have qualification to understand.
"The truth will unveil itself one day, perhaps at that time, the entire Starry Universe will be a different scene," Li Chen’s alter ego mused to himself.
Facing enemies so terrifying they bring despair, not everyone has the courage to wager their lives in a desperate struggle.
Perhaps, when the truth truly unfolds before the world, it will also mark the moment of great chaos throughout the Starry Universe.
"Stop staring at the rain, I still need some Star Core Jade, go get a few pounds of it."
Konggu Venerable was furious, "Do you know how expensive Star Core Jade is? And you ask for several pounds?"
"Do you still want the Purging Disaster Pill?" Li Chen casually remarked, glancing sidelong at Konggu Venerable.
"I... I’ll go prepare it." Konggu Venerable capitulated, silently grinding his teeth, "It’s all for becoming a Ninth-Order Heavenly Venerate, even higher realm!"
At this moment, a flicker of coldness appeared in Li Chen’s eyes.
He received a message from his main body.
The message came from the Blood Clan youth, Cain, to his main body.
"I detected the stench of Era-Ancient Civilization, and indeed, it’s the stench of those mechanical civilization scraps!" Cain said coldly.
"Where?" Li Chen paused, then questioned.
"They are traversing through Folded Space, seemingly heading towards the East Suburb Realm." Cain’s eyes were cold and filled with murderous intent.
"East Suburb Realm?" Li Chen was startled, immediately recalling the information Konggu Venerable mentioned earlier.
"Mechanical Civilization? Could it be that they’re truly coming for me?" Li Chen slightly raised his head to look at Cain, "Senior, can you tell me their cultivation level?"
"Mechanical Civilization is the civilization race hardest to evaluate in strength because they possess loads of black technology that surpasses all civilizations in the Starry Universe, even a trivial item can often unleash extremely terrifying power." Cain said in a somber tone, "However, the few members of the mechanical civilization appearing in the Sea Edge Realm should be at the Ninth Order Soul Realm, totaling five people."
"Ninth Order Soul Realm, five people." Li Chen fell into contemplation.
"It’s just the Soul Realm, I’ll crush them myself!" the youth said viciously.
"No need to trouble you, senior." Li Chen waved dismissively, "If I’m right, these guys should be coming for me. I currently have an alter ego in the East Suburb Realm, if I’m correct, this time, I intend to give them a big surprise!"
"I..."
"Calm down." At this time, Red Moon abruptly interrupted, speaking to the youth who appeared eager to speak, "As a Palm Realm Powerhouse, could you maintain a trace of face? After all, you are an Ancient Ancestor, bullying several souls, what’s the point?"
The youth was momentarily speechless.
Blood Saint had vanished, yet Red Moon seemed to become his nemesis.
"Then... okay." The youth reluctantly agreed, speaking to Li Chen, "I’ll leave it to you then."
Li Chen chuckled lightly and nodded; he had this intention too.
At the same time, Li Chen’s alter ego there also quickly sprang into action.
"Mechanical Civilization!" An intriguing gleam flickered in Li Chen’s alter ego’s eyes.
"Hexagram Glare Great Array"
"Seven-Star Revolving Great Array!"
"Additionally... Lan Liuyue!"
"Master, any task for me?" Formation Spirit Lan Liuyue came out, glancing around, "Master, you really are running around the cosmos, it hasn’t been long, and already a new place."
"Enough talking." Li Chen commanded sternly, "Assist me, I want to set up several Ninth Order Grand Arrays here."
"Ninth Order Grand Arrays?" Lan Liuyue’s eyes lit up, "Good, good, Master, watch me, Master Eight taught me many things lately, and I haven’t had a chance to demonstrate them yet."
"I want to set up two Ninth Order Grand Arrays, one Yuan Magnetic Demon-Slaughtering Array and the other Geomagnetic Mengxing Array," Li Chen said.
Lan Liuyue nodded, then curiously asked, "Master, both these Ninth Order Grand Arrays are ancient formations, and... both of these arrays carry specificity, it seems those you are dealing with are somewhat extraordinary."
Li Chen nodded but did not answer Lan Liuyue’s query.
This time, those he’s dealing with are indeed exceptional.
Era-Ancient Civilization’s mechanical civilization!
Though just five people, Li Chen heeded Cain’s words that the mechanical civilization, though not the strongest Era-Ancient Civilization, is undoubtedly a civilization not to be underestimated!
Under their advanced technology, there are too many terrifying things that ordinary people can’t imagine.
Thus, Li Chen laid out these two types of Magnetic Arrays intending to disrupt their arrangements with magnetic fields.
These two Ninth Order Grand Arrays, although not the most lethal among Ninth Order Grand Arrays, nor the most entrapping, are definitely the ones with the greatest interference!
Li Chen’s current proficiency in the Formation Path is roughly at the Eighth Rank Peak level, but with the help of Formation Spirit Lan Liuyue, he could easily set up the Ninth Order Grand Arrays.
When the two formations took shape, a slight cold smile appeared on Li Chen’s lips.
Konggu Venerable knew a bit about formations, but compared to Li Chen, he was on a totally different level, so while lending a hand and collecting materials, he watched Li Chen set up formations, harboring some intent to learn in the process.
Yet, inexplicably, when he saw Li Chen emerging from the formation, with that cold smile on his face, he involuntarily shivered.
Just looking at Li Chen, he felt as if a bloody storm was rushing towards him.
"These guys, there’s no need for senior to make a move, I’ll personally capture them and uncover their motives," at Li Chen’s main body side, he seriously told the youth.
"Then... I leave it to you." Although filled with murderous intent, the youth ultimately chose to follow Li Chen’s advice.
"By the way, can senior’s Divine Sense cover the Folded Space, observing the entire Sea Edge Realm?" Unable to hold back, Li Chen asked about this matter.
"It can." The youth nodded.
"Then." Li Chen paused for a moment before asking, "Could I trouble senior to help me find someone in the Sea Edge Realm?"
