Free Web NovelChapter 1685: Chapter 1682: Seizing the Star Core!
Hearing Zhai Xingzi’s question, Li Chen inexplicably found it a bit funny.
Zhai Xingzi noticed that Li Chen didn’t answer his question, and even laughed inexplicably, making him feel both embarrassed and angry.
"What are you laughing at?"
Li Chen looked around disdainfully and replied coldly, "What am I laughing at? It was you who brought me here, and now you’re asking why I’m here?"
"The grand Hall Master of the Xingyun Hall asking such a foolish question, isn’t it laughable?"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s retort, Zhai Xingzi was dumbfounded.
For a moment, he didn’t know how to respond at all.
"You sharp-tongued fellow, since we invited you here, have you not realized we never intended to let you leave!"
The murderous words still lingered in the void when a terrifying pressure emanated from Zhai Xingzi’s body, pressing toward Li Chen.
Li Chen knew he was not yet a match for Zhai Xingzi.
Thus, he didn’t resist but instead vanished into the air, executing the Space Jumping Technique to narrowly avoid Zhai Xingzi’s attack.
At that moment, the Meteorite Heart within him seemed to sense something and suddenly began to spin rapidly.
Following the direction indicated by the Meteorite Heart, Li Chen saw, in the very center of this space, a Star Core Light Ball.
This Star Core Light Ball was not large, just about the size of a fist, yet the stars surrounding it, which were hundreds of times larger, rotated around it.
Obviously, this Star Core Light Ball was the central brain of this world!
Realizing this, Li Chen did not hesitate and immediately rushed toward the Star Core Light Ball.
Noticing Li Chen’s intention, Zhai Xingzi was in a state of panic and shouted urgently, "Uncle Shou, quickly, stop him, don’t let him touch the Star Core Light Ball!"
Before Zhai Xingzi’s voice even fell, Chen Yanshou drew a trail of light in the void, ready to block Li Chen’s path.
Seeing this, Li Chen immediately summoned the Chi Dragon Divine Spear, piercing through the void, directly aiming at Chen Yanshou’s Dan Tian Field.
The Chi Dragon Divine Spear was unstoppable, and even a strong cultivator like Chen Yanshou had to retreat temporarily.
After forcing back Chen Yanshou, Li Chen did not pursue but instead went straight for the Star Core Light Ball.
His hand had just reached out, not yet touching the Star Core Light Ball.
The Star Core Light Ball transformed into countless starlights, rushing into his body like rivers converging into the sea.
To be precise, it was devoured by the Meteorite Heart.
Witnessing this, Zhai Xingzi was deeply enraged.
Bear in mind, he had painstakingly planned for tens of thousands of years just to collect the Divine Souls of cultivators for his own use.
He hoped to seize this opportunity to break through the Life and Death Shackles and achieve immortality.
Now, the soul power inside the Light Ball had reached 99% capacity.
Just 1% short of realizing his dream and achieving immortality like his master, the Star Cloud Ancestor.
But unexpectedly, at the last moment, such an accident occurred.
How could he not be furious?
"Damn you, I will make sure you have nowhere to be buried!"
Zhai Xingzi roared in fury, sweeping his sleeves as starlight rained down like an army, overwhelmingly assaulting Li Chen.
The surrounding space had already been sealed, leaving Li Chen with no place to hide.
Thinking of this, Li Chen shifted his thoughts and instantly conjured hundreds of shadows, rushing outward all at once.
As long as one shadow could get out, Zhai Xingzi would no longer be able to do anything to him.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
Li Chen’s countless avatars collided with the starlights like planets crashing into Earth, exploding with thunderous clamor.
Li Chen managed to conjure three thousand shadows!
But in the end, only a few managed to break through.
This just showed to what terrifying degree Zhai Xingzi controlled the space?
Li Chen couldn’t find time to be amazed and dared not linger, the few shadows that made it out quickly merged back into one, propelling him to the vortex at a speed that broke his limits.
That was the exit!
As for where he would be transported, that was unknown.
Seeing Li Chen about to escape, Zhai Xingzi and Chen Yanshou were both greatly shocked.
Both tried to seal the Bai Guang vortex simultaneously, hoping to block Li Chen’s escape.
Unfortunately, they were a step too late.
Li Chen, using a Space Jumping Technique, leapt into the Bai Guang vortex.
Entering the Bai Guang vortex, it was as if he was a fish returning to water or a bird soaring into the sky.
Noticing this, Chen Yanshou said seriously, "Hall Master, don’t worry, Li Chen surely cannot escape, I’ll retrieve the star!"
Zhai Xingzi, full of anger, responded, "I’ll leave it to you, Uncle Shou. If you catch that kid, don’t let him die easily, or else I can’t defuse the hatred in my heart!"
Chen Yanshou casually agreed, his figure transforming into a stream of light, diving into the Bai Guang vortex.
Seeing someone chasing him, Li Chen, after a moment’s contemplation, exerted all his strength to transport himself to the Scroll World where Anran was.
Anran, seeing Li Chen, appeared very excited.
Her face full of delight, she danced around and said, "Big brother, you finally decided to visit Anran, staying here is so boring!"
Seeing Anran’s innocent and pure demeanor, Li Chen showed a guilty expression.
"Anran, I’m sorry, I’ve been so busy and couldn’t take care of you... cough cough..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Li Chen suddenly started coughing violently and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Anran was terrified by Li Chen’s condition, her large, watery eyes filled with concern.
She hurried forward to support the staggering Li Chen, asking anxiously, "Big brother, what happened to you? Why are you so injured?"
Li Chen, not wanting Anran to worry, waved his hand and feigned ease, saying, "Anran, don’t worry, I’m fine. With some rest, I’ll recover!"
Anran was so concerned she was about to cry.
"Big brother, then you should sit down and rest, I’ve found many Moonlight Stones recently to see if they can help you!"
After saying this, Anran took out a storage bag, emptying all the Moonlight Stones she had collected.
Seeing how worried Anran was for him, Li Chen couldn’t help but lift a gentle, relieved smile.
He gently patted Anran’s little head and said, "Anran, thank you!"
Anran pouted, feigning annoyance and said, "Big brother, why thank me? Without you, I would have been captured by those bad people long ago!"
"Besides, you promised to help me find my mother!"
Looking into Anran’s large eyes, full of anticipation, Li Chen nodded solemnly.
"Yes, I will definitely help Anran find her mother. Cough cough..."
Before finishing his sentence, Li Chen started coughing violently again.
This really worried Anran deeply.
"Big brother, you’re still bleeding, don’t talk, just sit down and heal!"
