Chapter 2533 - 2501: The Demon’s Whisper

Chapter 2533: Chapter 2501: The Demon’s Whisper

In the starry universe, resisting the black qi. Several months have passed.

The endless black qi emerged from nothingness, then erupted completely. Finally, it returned to calm, a result achieved through the exhaustive efforts of countless Dao Saints in the starry universe.

Numerous Dao Saints exhausted their cultivation, even collapsing unconscious, in this frenzied defense. Now, the Chaos Zone is largely quiet.

During these months, Li Chen specifically flew to various places to meet some old acquaintances.

Of course, some were destined to be missed in this lifetime. Li Chen had no intention of disturbing their lives; hearing from others that they were living well was enough for him.

After visiting some old acquaintances, Li Chen once again devoted all his thoughts to cultivation and the Breath of World Destruction.

Although the Breath of World Destruction is now growing fainter, even showing signs of disappearing, the World-Destroying Beast has struggled for billions of years for this universe. How could it so easily give up? Therefore, Li Chen and the Dao Saints of the starry universe dare not slacken in the slightest.

Li Chen had studied the World-Destroying Beast before and learned about it from some ancient hero’s remnant souls. According to what a Doomsday Beast Soul once said, the World-Destroying Beast is referred to by them as the "Origin Beast".

The entire starry universe has always been in an infinite cycle of rebirth and destruction. Is this World-Destroying Beast truly the medicine the starry universe uses to eradicate "parasites"?

Or is it just a complete Demon Beast? The life of all across the cosmic starry sky?

The black qi spread between heaven and earth is fatal and mysterious. It can cause people unrecoverable traumas permanently.

All things in heaven and earth will always progress, and the cosmic starry sky will step into a new era. Or face new challenges, but does all this require annihilation to drive it?

The last time Li Chen stepped out of the starry universe, out of the cosmic ruins. He arrived at a vast nihility. Now there exists a minor Realm Sea, with only a few universes there.

During the lengthy struggle between Li Chen and the black qi, occasionally his divine sense would drift between heaven and earth, even beyond the vast nihility. Though this happened very limited times, he still sensed a breath existing outside the entire vast nihility.

In any case, all of this made Li Chen deeply aware of his strength’s inadequacy. After his return, he also heard about a senior named Zhou Huo who used a forbidden technique to battle an Era-Ancient Origin Realm powerhouse and was seriously injured. Zhou Huo ended up falling in the end.

Another elder from the starry universe sacrificed himself for this world. For juniors like Li Chen, this is undoubtedly a huge guilt. Therefore, Li Chen hopes that when the next disaster arrives, he can uphold the banner of the starry universe, protecting the homeland he loves.

At this moment, Li Chen is sitting atop a star of extreme cold.

This star sits in an extremely remote location in the starry universe. Strange spatial phenomena cause the surrounding stars to be either extremely cold or extremely hot, making it impossible for any life to survive here.

Here, even with cultivation akin to that of a heavenly king, one could be utterly destroyed by the violent extreme cold or extreme heat between heaven and earth. This has made ordinary people completely dare not approach this area.

However, for powerhouses above the Dao Saint level, this place is an extremely precious cultivation treasure. Currently, the majority of Dao Saints in the starry universe can be said to be cultivating on these extremely hot and cold stars, enduring hardships. Nevertheless, the cultivation speed can multiply, and at the same time, their bodies can be tempered.

Now, Li Chen sits upon the snow and ice; the swirling wind and snow make Xiao Tian appear like a snowman. His mouth and brows are already covered with snow and ice.

Yet he remains motionless, only surrounded by a strong True Yuan.

In a luxurious room, Jin Lun sits on his bed, trembling uncontrollably.

His expression seems utterly bewildered, murmuring incessantly, "Stay away... stay away...."

Curling up, Jin Lun mutters, "It’s too painful... leave my heart!! Leave!!"

Since the day he encountered the black qi in the Chaos Zone, Jin Lun has been tormented. Though at the time he knew everything he saw was just an illusion, like a dream. When he regained consciousness, he had already left the Chaos Zone far behind.

However, these days, his mind is always filled with visions of himself seated upon a throne, ruling the universe. Or possessing supreme power.

Along with this came voices from within, like the whispers of demons, tormenting Jin Lun.

Sure enough, that voice appeared once again.

"I come from nihility, disappearing into nihility. We appeared because we sensed your greed. If your heart had no impurities, I naturally wouldn’t exist...."

"There’s no impurity in my heart!" Jin Lun’s expression was stern, "Get out of my heart right now. Otherwise, I would rather forsake my Saint cultivation than let you world-destroyers of the cosmic starry sky succeed!"

"Hehe.... Jin Lun. Why deceive yourself? If there was no desire in your heart, we wouldn’t appear. The Way of the Dao Saint you’ve realized, is it self-deception?"

The voice coldly reverberated in Jin Lun’s mind. His head began to ache severely, and he clutched his head tightly, even wishing for more pain, to forget everything, to escape from everything.

"It’s not... I’m not deceiving. I’m not....."

Escaping from deep within his heart... his greed.

As the voice whispered, black qi had already begun to spread in Jin Lun’s pupils. Yet he remained completely unaware.

"What you saw that day wasn’t an illusion. Now the God of Creation of the universe has chosen you; you can become more powerful. Powerful enough to scorn everything. By then, you will decide the laws of the entire starry universe!"

"You now have the opportunity to test the [power God has bestowed upon you]."

Jin Lun’s eyes were vacant. He nodded dumbly, as if losing self-awareness, and then left his room.

Jin Lun arrived at the defense zone of the Third Chaos Zone. Though the black qi has been completely suppressed, there are still thousands of powerhouses patrolling and defending daily.

Under the Demon’s whispers, Jin Lun wandered uncontrollably to a remote area of the defense zone. Here, a couple of Ancient Ancestors and several heavenly kings were responsible for defense.

Seeing Jin Lun arrive, the Ancient Ancestor and the heavenly kings hurriedly greeted him respectfully. Nobody expected Jin Lun to show a strange smile, and black qi began to spread from his body.
