Chapter 2495 - 2463: Li Chen’s Suspicion

Chapter 2495: Chapter 2463: Li Chen’s Suspicion

Red Moon knows better than anyone what kind of person Li Chen is.

Although Li Chen appeared ready to leave immediately, Red Moon understood that, at times like this, the man would never leave.

Because that’s just how he is.

On the surface, he might seem careless or deeply thoughtful, but in reality, Li Chen remains the same.

He always likes doing things that surprise people, yet are completely reasonable.

The Black Tide of Nihility is undoubtedly terrifying to an alarming degree, even Tian Que and Poem Shadow combined, along with many other Jianmu Universe powerhouses, couldn’t completely block those black tentacles. They pierced through the defense, directly puncturing the Cosmic Membrane of the Jianmu Universe and dug into the ground of the Jiankong Realm.

Although the tentacles of the Black Tide of Nihility seem ordinary within the Vast Nihility. In truth, even one of its smallest tentacles is probably larger than an entire plane!

Moreover, it was clear to see that once the tentacle rooted into the ground, it began to absorb the nutrients of the Jiankong Realm’s earth continuously.

It... is devouring!

Evidently, the objective of the Black Tide of Nihility is to devour the Jiankong Realm, and even... the entire Jianmu Universe!

"Now, do you still think this is a natural disaster?" Seeing this, Li Chen asked Hong beside him calmly.

Hong’s face turned icy cold.

"But if it’s not a natural disaster, then who on earth has such a massive plan to summon such terrifying power to attack the Jianmu Universe?!" Hong hesitated.

"Didn’t we meet someone like that last time?" Li Chen shook his head gently: "Honestly, if I can help it, I don’t want to ever encounter such a fellow again in my life."

This was indeed Li Chen speaking truthfully.

Though he once fooled Xuan Zang, through some errors, into retreating successfully, Li Chen had to admit, that was absolutely the most powerful being he had ever met.

Even more formidable than the Poem Shadow Dao Saint...

"Do you mean..." Hong furrowed his brows: "Xuan Zang isn’t dead yet?"

"No." Li Chen shook his head gently: "He should be dead already. Or rather, he’s been dead for a long time. But because he can’t find a suitable physical body, he’s remained in that ghostly form."

"Yet even in such a state, he’s far more terrifying than most powerhouses I have encountered." With that, Li Chen couldn’t help but sigh lightly.

Although he succeeded in scaring Xuan Zang away, it didn’t mean he truly had a way to deal with such a powerhouse.

"So, do you mean this disaster is caused by Xuan Zang?" Hong’s brows furrowed.

"I don’t know." Li Chen shrugged, said: "It’s just that from what I remember, perhaps only he could do such a thing."

Hong’s face appeared quite heavy.

Because he knew, what Li Chen said was indeed very reasonable.

Besides Xuan Zang, certainly no one could accomplish such a thing.

The Black Tide of Nihility, one of the most terrifying natural disasters within the Vast Nihility, just from the previous encounter, even Origin Realm Powerhouses couldn’t handle it much, so who else but him could bring about such an event?

"What are you thinking about?"

Li Chen touched his chin, looking at the black pillar descending from the firmament and piercing the ground, softly saying: "I’m thinking of how to run faster, so as not to be contaminated by this thing."

Hong remained silently speechless.

Indeed, this is about the Jianmu Universe, and he couldn’t really ask Li Chen to sacrifice himself for it.

"Only, if I leave, then perhaps your Jianmu Universe is truly doomed." Li Chen said inexplicably.

As he spoke, Li Chen had already left the Dreamfall Battlefield with Red Moon, moving towards the descending black pillar.

As he got closer to the black pillar, Li Chen’s expression grew more grave.

The Seven Realms Tome, at this point, also remained silent, while a concentrated killing intent emanated from Red Moon.

"What on earth is... going on?"

Standing before the black pillar that pierced from outside the Universe, Li Chen suddenly felt a strange sensation arise within him.

This feeling...

As if he and this black pillar were originally one entity!

Because the black pillar, or more precisely the existence of the Black Tide of Nihility, strangely shared the same aura with his black qi...

Staring dazedly at the giant pillar formed by the Black Tide of Nihility before him, Li Chen slowly raised a hand towards it.

"Wait!"

At this moment, a harsh shout suddenly came from the other sky.

He saw a Dao Saint quickly appear beside Li Chen, with furrowed brows, gently rebuking: "What are you doing? Do you have a death wish? This is the Black Tide of Nihility, even Origin Realm Powerhouses only dare to strike it with power and wouldn’t dare to touch it physically, you’re courting death by touching it recklessly!"

The speaker was a lean Old Dao Saint with tied-up hair. As he furrowed his brows at Li Chen, he remarked: "A newly promoted Dao Saint? Old me has left the Jianmu Universe for so many years, I didn’t expect today’s Dao Saints to be so oblivious to the gravity of things, daring to touch the Black Tide of Nihility... what are you doing?!"

Before the Old Dao Saint could finish, he saw Li Chen slap his hand on the pillar formed by the Black Tide of Nihility.

"You..."

The Old Dao Saint’s eyes widened, ready to rescue him, only to find Li Chen’s hand on the giant pillar of the Black Tide of Nihility wasn’t affected at all.

"He wasn’t... devoured?!" The Old Dao Saint’s eyes widened: "Could it be this Black Tide of Nihility is fake?"

Thinking this, the Old Dao Saint also reached out his hand towards the pillar of the Black Tide of Nihility.

But as soon as he touched the pillar, he felt an incomparably terrifying suction power at the center of his arm, as if aiming to utterly drain him.

"Sizzle!!"

A flash of blood passed by, and the Old Dao Saint’s face turned pale, collapsing to the ground, with a hand also falling alongside.

Li Chen slightly turned his head to glance at the Old Dao Saint.

"Are today’s outside Dao Saints so reckless? Without assessing the situation properly, they touch things carelessly. Do they not know it can be deadly?"

Li Chen’s indifferent remarks made the Old Dao Saint’s originally pale face turn an anomalous shade of red.

Utter embarrassment!

Yet, after some thought, the Old Dao Saint nodded towards Li Chen: "Thank you, fellow Daoist, for the life-saving favor."

Li Chen didn’t pursue it further, but retracted his hand, saying to the Old Dao Saint: "Now, go gather some people. I might have a solution for the crisis of the Black Tide of Nihility, but it depends if you’re able to cooperate."

"Fellow Daoist, what did you just say?"

"I said, I have a solution to this crisis of the Black Tide of Nihility. Stop talking nonsense; if we delay further, I’m leaving."

"Okay! Okay!" The Old Dao Saint replied promptly, hurriedly soaring again into the sky.
