Chapter 39: The Truth Revealed

The black mist churned, as if the entrance to hell had suddenly opened.

The Black Cloaked Leader's figure appeared and disappeared within it, and the cold laughter echoed in the air, hair-raising.

"Just this little ability? Get lost!" Ji Chen curled his mouth, his fire supernatural ability erupting instantly, turning into a fire dragon roaring toward the black mist.

"Boom!" The fire dragon collided with the black mist, erupting with a deafening sound. The shockwave spread, the ground cracked, and gravel flew.

The black mist was forced back by the flames, revealing the Black Cloaked Leader's ferocious face.

"Small tricks!" The Black Cloaked Leader snorted coldly, the black mist churned again, condensing into countless sharp spikes, shooting toward Ji Chen and Ceng Yue like a rain of pears.

"Ice Shield!" Ceng Yue let out a low drink, the power of ice erupted instantly, forming a thick Ice Wall around the two, blocking the spikes completely.

"Just this? Tickling?"

The Ice Wall was covered in cracks, likely to shatter at any moment.

Ji Chen's eyes narrowed, and the flames condensed into a long saber in his hands; on the blade, flames jumped, emitting a terrifying high temperature.

"Watch my Flame Tornado!"

The flame long saber danced, bringing up streaks of scorching firelight, cutting all the incoming spikes.

At the same time, the ground beneath his feet also began to burn, the flames swirling upward like a whirlwind, forming a giant Flame Tornado, rushing straight into the sky.

"Ah!" The Black Cloaked Leader let out a scream, the black mist was swallowed by the Flame Tornado, continuously emitting sizzling sounds.

"Is it over?" Ji Chen looked at the gradually dissipating black mist, thinking to himself.

However, just then, a pitch-black hand suddenly reached out from the black mist, grabbing Ceng Yue's arm.

"Not good!" Ji Chen's face changed drastically; he wanted to rescue her, but it was already too late.

"Ah!" Ceng Yue let out a cry of pain, dragged into the black mist by a powerful force.

"Ceng Yue!" Ji Chen roared, his fire supernatural ability erupting to the limit, charging toward the black mist.

"Want to save her? Then come to hell to find me! Hahaha..." The Black Cloaked Leader's sinister laughter sounded again, the black mist disappeared instantly, leaving only the burnt smell and the unsettling silence permeating the air.

Ji Chen stood frozen in place, his fists clenched, his nails deeply embedded in his flesh.

The black mist dissipated, leaving only the pungent burnt smell and the unsettling silence in the air.

Ji Chen's eyes were bloodshot, staring fixedly at the place where the black mist had disappeared, the rage in his heart almost swallowing him.

"Damn it!" He growled, his voice full of self-reproach and pain.

Suddenly, a weak energy fluctuation caught his attention.

He turned his head suddenly and saw Ceng Yue kneeling on one knee not far away, a streak of glaring blood hanging from the corner of her mouth.

Her originally cold face was now full of pain, her brows locked, her breathing rapid.

"Ceng Yue!" Ji Chen's heart tightened, and he hurriedly rushed to her side, carefully helping her up.

"How are you?" His voice carried a hint of trembling.

Ceng Yue struggled to raise her head, her face bloodless, and said weakly: "I'm fine..." She just wanted to say something, but couldn't help coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this scene, Ji Chen's heart felt as if it had been stabbed fiercely by a sharp blade; his rage erupted instantly, the veins on his forehead bulging, his fists clenching until they cracked.

"Damn bastard, I must make you pay the price!" He said through gritted teeth, his voice full of killing intent.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

He knew now was not the time to be impulsive; he had to protect Ceng Yue first.

But the rage in his heart boiled like a volcano; he could no longer endure it!

Ji Chen slowly closed his eyes, the flame energy around his body instantly went out of control, the red light as dazzling as the scorching sun.

This was not ordinary fire, but a violent energy containing destructive power.

However, this time, he did not release this energy toward the enemy, but slowly injected it into the surrounding space.

"What is he doing?" In the direction where the black mist had disappeared, a voice of doubt was vaguely heard, but it was quickly replaced by endless silence.

Ceng Yue was also stunned; she leaned weakly against Ji Chen, watching his crazy move.

She didn't understand what Ji Chen was going to do, but deep in her heart, she felt a hint of unease; this feeling was like the calm before a storm, oppressive and suffocating.

The surrounding air began to become restless, as if something had been activated.

Ji Chen still closed his eyes, but the corners of his mouth lifted into a mysterious smile, and his hands slowly raised above his head.

"It's starting..."

The space began to tremble violently, as if an invisible giant hand were plucking the strings.

The red energy spread like a spiderweb, shrouding everything around it.

Suddenly, a deafening roar sounded, the space cracked into countless fissures like a broken mirror, and a powerful suction force surged from within.

"What is this?!" A cry of terror came from the direction where the black mist had disappeared, and immediately after, a black energy surged from the void, trying to resist this suction force.

However, the moment this black energy touched the red energy, it dissipated rapidly like ice meeting fire, finally being sucked into the space fissure.

"No! Impossible!" A desperate roar came from the black mist, and then, the black mist dissipated completely, leaving only a few tattered black cloaks.

The mysterious people were severely wounded by this force, their bodies began to dissipate, and finally turned into tiny starlight, disappearing into the air.

"Just this? I thought you were how awesome!" Ji Chen curled his mouth disdainfully, clapped his hands, with an expression of "nothing more than this."

Ceng Yue leaned weakly in his arms, a faint smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

Everything around returned to calm, and the space fissure gradually closed, as if nothing had happened.

Only Ji Chen and Ceng Yue smiled at each other.

From the memory fragments left by the mysterious people, Ji Chen and Ceng Yue learned the whole truth.

It turned out that the Supernatural World had always been hiding a huge secret, a secret enough to overturn the entire world...

This truth involved deeper secrets of the Supernatural World and a huge future crisis.

They stood in place, shocked, and a shocking atmosphere permeated the air.

However, just before they had time to digest this news, a strange fissure suddenly appeared in the sky.

Strange light flickered in the fissure, as if connecting to another world.

"This... what is it again?" Ceng Yue muttered to herself, her gaze fixed firmly on the fissure.

Ji Chen didn't speak, only gripped her hand tightly, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart...

Suddenly, a low roar came from the fissure; this sound was full of an ancient and mysterious aura, as if from an ancient giant beast.

"It's coming..." Ji Chen's face was solemn, his gaze like a torch. ===== CHAPTER 40 =====
