~14 min read 2,773 words

"Living thing!"

Facing that pair of blood-red eyes, Luo Chen distinguished the enemy in an instant.

It was not a ghost that could be seen everywhere in the Nether Abyss, but a living creature, emitting a powerful aura, no less than the Black King.

If it were just this, it would be fine; with Luo Chen's strength, he was not afraid of such existence at all.

But this place is the Nether Abyss!

Once a fight started, it would inevitably attract the attention of other powerful existences, and Luo Chen's ending would not be very good.

"In such a forbidden land, how can there be living beings?"

Luo Chen showed a look of doubt, and at the same time, his body slowly retreated, showing that he did not want to be an enemy of the other party.

But he retreated, and the enemy advanced.

Rolling waves surged, and the owner of the blood-red eyes revealed its true body.

A cyan-yellow thick back as wide as the land, overall round, but with edges and corners in the details.

A long neck, like a giraffe, and also like a big python.

Image of turtle and snake?

Seeing this scene, Luo Chen was stunned.

His heart moved, could it be...

"It's that mysterious turtle of the Lu family in the Ming Abyss!"

In just an instant, Luo Chen recognized the other party.

At the same time, he understood why there was such a living thing in the Nether Abyss where living beings could hardly survive.

Because the other party grew up here since childhood, and even because of the growth environment, the transformation was incomplete, making the turtle and snake images not completely separated.

Just at this time, the massive mysterious turtle slammed into Luo Chen with a mighty momentum, its eyes full of bloodthirst.

This time, Luo Chen did not retreat.

Only to see him spit out and open his voice, pushing his single palm slowly.

Boom!

The two collided, and the violent power, centered on the contact point, immediately vented in all directions, forming one intense wave after another.

However, these giant waves that could destroy mountains and collapse rocks were like ripples in front of the two.

Luo Chen pressed one hand on the triangular sharp head of the other party, and the terrifying power erupted continuously from his flesh.

The mysterious turtle was not to be outdone; its hard head suddenly became soft, and its long neck flexibly circled around and stretched into the air, then bit down at Luo Chen.

It wanted to swallow Luo Chen!

Just at this time, Luo Chen's aura was released.

Source blood surged, Yu Xuan Chen Armor was worn, and an aura of the same origin as the mysterious turtle permeated.

"Junior, how dare you be presumptuous!"

The angry shout from the superior made the mysterious turtle's open mouth suddenly stop in the air.

The blood-red eyes gave birth to a few fears, a few dazes, and even some feelings of waking up from a dream.

Suddenly!

"Woo..."

The ghost wailing sound exploded.

The shrill and sharp sound almost made the divine soul faint.

The next moment, a pitch-black light escaped from the top of the mysterious turtle's head and pounced on Luo Chen.

Its speed was extremely fast.

During this process, Luo Chen didn't seem to be affected by the other party's ghost wailing divine soul impact at all.

The Flat Mountain Crown on his head scattered dim golden light, the Yu Xuan Chen Armor on his body emitted a yellow air shield, and his eyes revealed illusions of mirror water moon and storied ghost shadows.

However, the black light was also unaffected, breaking through the golden light and air shield, touching Luo Chen's body, and the illusion only blocked it for a moment.

And it was this moment that gave Luo Chen enough reaction time.

"Come out!"

The next moment, two flames emerged from Luo Chen's Purple Mansion at the same time.

One was blue-white, and the other was pure gold.

Boom!

Instantly, Luo Chen became a man of fire.

And the black light seemed to have seen something terrifying, and retreated quickly, fearing to avoid it.

After looking at Luo Chen with fear, it fled into the depths of the darkness.

Until this time, Luo Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but the feeling of fear still lingered.

"That is..."

Luo Chen said hoarsely: "Yuan-devouring Beast?"

Although the other party had no physical body and no entity, Luo Chen would never forget the aura it emitted.

It was clearly the ghost—Gao Chang—released by the ancient demon Emperor Tian to ravage the Eastern Wasteland cultivation world.

Its body was a wild beast variant, feeding on Heaven and Earth spiritual energy, and loved the Dao fruit of cultivators the most; whether it was Golden Core or Nascent Soul, it was its favorite food.

I don't know how many Nascent Soul peers died in the belly of this ghost.

Jin Ling, who once fought side by side with Luo Chen, was the one whose Nascent Soul was rolled away by this thing, thus falling, and was even refined into a substitute puppet by Luo Chen, blocking Ancestor Ancestor Heize's fatal blow.

"How could this thing be here?"

Just when Luo Chen was puzzled, the mysterious turtle pushed away the water waves and approached Luo Chen.

The triangular head leaned toward Luo Chen and touched him gently.

The movement was gentle and affectionate, as if trying to please an elder.

Luo Chen looked down, and the other party's eyes had become clear, no longer having that blood-red color.

"You were controlled by that ghost, so you were forced to attack me, right?"

The mysterious turtle "mooed", the tone was affirmative.

Luo Chen reached out and rubbed its smooth head. "It's okay, I don't blame you. Next, you have to be alone..."

Luo Chen's words stopped at his lips.

Clearly, the defilement ability of the Ming water in this Nether Abyss is very strong, and it is difficult for him to persist until crossing over with his magic power.

And on the water surface, space cracks appear from time to time, and there is thunder bombardment, which is more dangerous than the abyss.

This beast grew up here since childhood and is not afraid of the defilement of Ming water at all.

Long before Luo Chen arrived, it was the best camel beast for Ming Abyss cultivators to ferry across the two shores.

If he could use it as a ride, he could save a lot of energy, and even the time would be faster.

"Next, give me a ride!"

Luo Chen jumped and came to the back of the mysterious turtle.

"Send me to the way I came, you still remember, right?"

The mysterious turtle called, the tone was affirmative.

It had a deep memory of Luo Chen, thinking that the other party was an elder of his own clan, just that he had taken the path of human transformation.

Now that the elder asked it to send him for a ride, it should naturally contribute.

And its previous collision was really too impolite, so it must compensate the other party.

The giant turtle shook its neck, stirred up countless Ming water, and carried Luo Chen to the other shore.

On the turtle's back at this time, there were no pavilions, palaces, and buildings, revealing the most simple essence.

Luo Chen had no discomfort, sat on it, and let the mysterious turtle's source power cover him.

And in his eyes, there was a look of thought at this moment. "In the battle of the Bikuo Domain, Emperor Tian died, Mount Qinghe Immortal was captured and suppressed in the Ming Abyss, and the others who participated in the negotiations fled or scattered."

"I thought Gao Chang also died in it back then, but now it seems not."

"During the time it was captured, it was subjected to means by the Ming Abyss Sect ancestors, so how could it escape? And, it is rumored that Emperor Tian tried to promote this ghost to the Soul Transformation realm as his external incarnation. Such a sharp weapon, how could the Ming Abyss ancestors be indifferent, they must have brought it back."

"Even, I can guess that the ancestor who wanted to refine this thing into a clone must be Ancestor Ancestor Tianyuan, who is most proficient in the way of clones."

"It's just that with Ancestor Ancestor Tianyuan feeding the ghost with his body and opening the Jade-Shattering Prohibition, this ghost instead gained freedom."

"It's just looking at its chaotic appearance, I'm afraid its spiritual intelligence has been wiped out by Ancestor Ancestor Tianyuan, leaving only the instinct to attack cultivators."

"Now it is like a blank sheet of paper, if it can be captured and refined into a clone..."

Thinking of this, Luo Chen couldn't help but be moved.

For the benefits of a clone, after experiencing the short confrontation with Ancestor Ancestor Heize, he was no more profound.

Such things can assist cultivation, help deal with trivial matters, and in critical moments, whether it is fighting or substituting for death, they have unexpected effects.

Looking at the whole journey, anyone who possesses a clone has first-class life-saving ability.

Whether it is Han Zhan, or Blood Xiao Sanren, or Shi Ju, Ancestor Ancestor Tianyuan, etc.

No matter what kind of clone they use, whether it is a puppet, or a Blood God Son, or refined by great divine ability.

In short, clones are good things!

But this thought, Luo Chen only thought for a moment, and was forcibly suppressed.

Not to mention how dangerous the ghost transformed by the Yuan-devouring Beast is, just by instinct it forced Luo Chen to use the two trump cards of Withered Glory Divine Fire and Nirvana Holy Fire, just this endless abyss is not something Luo Chen can easily find its hiding place.

"Even existences that great powers dream of, how can it be easily coveted by me now?"

Luo Chen shook his head, sat on the back of the mysterious turtle, and drank spirit wine to quickly recover magic power.

The road ahead will not be peaceful, he must keep himself in a peak state at all times.

Half a year later.

A young man in black, with dark skin, stood in front of a ruin.

He looked surprised, with a sense of disbelief in his eyes.

"Is this Shangyou Xiancheng?"

A figure rushed out from the ruins, and when passing by the black-clad young man, heard the other party's muttering, and his body paused.

"Even the Ming Abyss Holy Land has been destroyed, let alone the Shangyou City?"

The black-clad young man looked at the other party, and it turned out to be a Golden Core cultivator.

Coincidentally, the magic power fluctuation Luo Chen revealed at this moment was also controlled at the Golden Core stage.

He arched his hands and asked humbly: "I am Gui Yu Xuan, a loose cultivator."

The middle-aged man fell from the air, a bit surprised: "A loose cultivator in the Golden Core realm?"

But for a moment, he smiled self-deprecatingly again.

That's right, over the years, demon and fierce battles have been dangerous, and many high and mighty sect holy lands have collapsed, and a large number of loose cultivators who were suffering from no resources to cultivate have instead gained opportunities to soar.

The Golden Core realm is not so high and unreachable.

He arched his hands and introduced himself: "Shen Shen Qiuhua, from the Shen family of Jianchuan."

Luo Chen looked blank, but as if thinking of something, he asked tentatively: "Is it the Jianchuan Shen family next to Ancestor Shenyuan City in the Elder Dongyang Domain?"

Shen Mi Shuhua was surprised: "I didn't expect that even my mere Shen family is known to the fellow Daoist?"

Luo Chen waved his hand, "The Shen family can't be called a mere name. The patriarch Shen Shen Qiubai once shined in the great battle between humans and demons at Ye Lingtian Pass, and was praised as having a promising future in Nascent Soul and boundless Great Dao. If the Shen patriarch breaks through the realm, you will also have the hope of opening up a domain and building a sect in the future."

The reason he remembered this was because of the Mount Shouyang Dao discussion held by Mount Shouyang Shouyang Shanren of the Elder Dongyang Sect back then.

Among those who participated the most, it was actually not Nascent Soul True Persons, but Golden Core strongmen from all over the world.

Mount Shouyang Shouyang Shanren often put things that Nascent Soul True Persons couldn't sell on the Golden Core cultivator side for sale, which not only solved the difficulty of Nascent Soul True Persons not being easy to sell, but also gathered popularity.

And among them, the name of Shen Shen Qiubai was also heard by Luo Chen.

It can be considered a leader among Golden Core strongmen at that time.

"Shen Shen Qiubai, is exactly my brother!"

Mentioning the patriarch, Shen Shen Qiuhua also showed a sense of honor.

Then, he pointed to the ruins behind him, "Is Fellow Daoist Gui Yu Xuan here for the first time?"

Luo Chen nodded, "I heard that there was a change in the Ming Abyss Holy Land, so I wanted to come and see the situation, but I didn't expect that even the famous Shangyou Xiancheng had become a ruin. I really don't know what kind of power has such power to destroy the city. After all, I heard that there are several Nascent Soul True Persons guarding this city all year round."

Talking about this, Shen Shen Qiuhua couldn't help but sigh.

"What kind of power can it be? It's just that the last ancient demon in the Eastern Wasteland made a move."

"The last ancient demon in the Eastern Wasteland?" Luo Chen looked confused.

Shen Shen Qiuhua frowned. Why did this fellow Daoist not know such news that everyone knows?

But thinking of the "loose cultivator" identity he claimed, he felt that it was natural that the news was not well-informed.

He explained: "Her name is Xixia Yuanjun Sovereign Qixia, and her body is the divine bird Phoenix!"

Luo Chen looked shocked, but felt relieved in his heart.

Sure enough, it was her!

I didn't expect that she left the Nether Abyss, but vented her anger on Shangyou Xiancheng.

I don't know how many low-grade cultivators suffered such an innocent disaster.

He asked curiously: "I see that you just came out from inside, what are you doing?"

Shen Shen Qiuhua smiled self-deprecatingly, "Just picking up some waste, nothing glorious."

Luo Chen laughed, "This kind of thing, I often did it before, you don't have to be so inferior."

Shen Shen Qiuhua also smiled naturally. In his cognition, loose cultivators are indeed like this.

At this moment, in the Shangyou ruined city, there are indeed many low-grade loose cultivators who are risking their lives to loot treasures.

Perhaps someone can get some relics of the strong, and thus improve their cultivation, or even break through the realm.

"Brother Shen, how much do you know about Xixia Yuanjun Sovereign Qixia?" Luo Chen looked curious.

Shen Shen Qiuhua wanted to say, but looked at the sky, showing embarrassment.

Luo Chen saw this and didn't bother: "If it's not convenient, then forget it."

Shen Shen Qiuhua thought for a while, and looked at Luo Chen carefully again.

"Fellow Daoist Gui Yu Xuan, if you don't mind, why don't you go to my Shen family as a guest, and then we can talk about it by candlelight?"

Luo Chen was stunned, "Jianchuan? It's a three-to-five-day journey from here, right?"

If he remembered correctly, the Jianchuan Shen family was next to Ancestor Shenyuan City, the base camp of the Ancestor Tianyuan Business Alliance in the Elder Dongyang Domain back then. 【864-

Although it is not considered far from here, it is definitely not considered close either.

At the escape speed of a Core Formation cultivator...

Shen Shen Qiuhua revealed a look of desolation at this moment, "The Shen family has long since not been in Jianchuan."

"Hmm?"

"That place, and indeed the entire Elder Dongyang Region, has already been occupied by the Ancestor Tianyuan Dao Sect. Everyone, including the overlord of the Elder Dongyang Region, the Elder Dongyang Sect, has been driven out. We are already like stray dogs."

As Shen Shen Qiuhua had expected, a look of astonishment appeared on Luo Chen's face.

It was the kind of unmasked shock that comes from being caught off guard. (End of chapter)
