The sky split and the earth collapsed. No one knew what the alien races had triggered, but the entire world began to collapse. In the void, a fissure appeared.
"Whoosh"
When the crack appeared, the endless suction force distorted the space. Long Chen felt as if he were in the ocean, with seawater wildly flowing into the fissure. The violent suction made Long Chen's face change drastically.
"Be careful. If you get sucked into the spatial rift, you're completely finished." Dragonbone Evil Moon was also unsettled at this moment.
"Damn it, how unlucky you are."
Long Chen couldn't help but curse loudly. When he first entered, he had prayed not to encounter spatial rifts. Sure enough, dreams always come backward.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Long Chen sped forward wildly, but the pulling force behind him was too strong, slowing his speed faster and slower. Those alien powerhouses, lacking Long Chen's strength and the strength to struggle, flew past him and fell into the spatial rift.
When those alien powerhouses were still hundreds of miles away from the spatial rift, their bodies began to disintegrate, as if invisible gears were in the void, shredding them and finally falling into the rift, turning into nothingness.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, a powerful outsider sped over, stabbing down his bone spear at Long Chen. This man was extremely vicious; before dying, he wanted to drag Long Chen down with him.
"Whoosh" Long Chen's
figure flickered, dodging the attack. In this situation, he couldn't fight back. Now, he was like rowing against the current—any obstacle could doom him forever.
"Huff huff huff...
More and more alien powerhouses were sucked into the terrifying rift. Some of them happened to be in Long Chen's line and launched a frenzied attack on him.
Fortunately, these foreign powerhouses didn't really understand cultivation techniques and fought using the most primal power, not any cultivation techniques or combat techniques. Long Chen could swim like a fish, swimming upstream and dodging the attacks.
"Boom boom...
Suddenly, a loud explosion came from ahead. Long Chen's expression changed slightly. The woman had also been attacked. She also didn't know how to dodge and could only fight head-on. As a result, once her body stopped, her speed slowed down somewhat.
There was even one time when she encountered a powerful alien warrior. With a full-force strike, her body actually staggered backward a considerable distance. When she charged forward again, she had already lost her previous momentum and was even slower.
Meanwhile, the spatial rift behind them grew larger and larger. In the distance, powerful warriors of the same clan as the woman fled rapidly, their suction still on the edge of the suction untouched.
But as time passed, the larger the spatial rift, the stronger the suction force, and the wider the area. They shouted at the woman, but there was nothing they could do.
Long Chen's speed dropped sharply. Some of the alien powerhouses tried to escape, but they were all within pulling range and couldn't escape. They all screamed as they fell into spatial rifts, then their voices abruptly stopped. The scene sent chills down their spines.
"Whoosh!"
The woman finally couldn't hold on any longer and couldn't keep running. Instead, she fell backward, frightening the creatures in the distance. They screamed in panic but were helpless, their eyes filled with anxiety.
When the woman flew to Long Chen's side, Long Chen stretched out his arm and grabbed her arm. As a result, Long Chen, who had been flying extremely slowly, trembled and slowed down again.
The woman was caught by Long Chen, looking at him with gratitude in her eyes. She then shouted loudly, not knowing what she meant, but her aura surged within her, racing at full speed.
But dragging a person slowed even further, moving forward almost by one zhang, while the spatial rift behind them grew wider and the pulling force grew stronger.
There were still thousands of miles ahead before they could escape this spatial range. The creatures in the distance shouted anxiously, shouting anxiously.
Some creatures began to take out the beast tendons from their waists—their belts. They quickly tied the animal tendons together, quickly forming a rope that looked very sturdy.
"So stupid!"
Long Chen cursed loudly as he saw the clumsy behavior of those creatures. You have tens of thousands of people, can't you split into several more groups? Wouldn't that make things even faster? Busy alone, how long will it last?
The suction behind grew stronger and stronger, the earth overturned, endless rocks were sucked away by spatial rifts, Long Chen had nowhere to use his strength, and could only struggle to hold on.
Long Chen still didn't dare to spread his thunder wings, because once they did, not only would they prevent him from moving forward, but they would actually increase resistance and be sucked away in an instant.
"Throw away this useless guy, and you'll still have a chance to break through." Dragonbone Xie Yue shouted.
Long Chen didn't answer. The woman had rushed through the crowd just to signal him to leave. Now that she was trapped in a desperate situation, it was all because of Long Chen. How could he possibly leave her behind and escape alone?
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, Long Chen slammed his arms and hurled the woman forward. The woman cried out in alarm, her body darting forward at lightning speed, heading straight for the beast tendons hanging down in the distance.
Those creatures clumsily, after working so hard for half a day, only managed to tie a rope over a hundred li long.
The beast tendons around their waists were several zhang long; if they had grouped them into more groups, they would have been long enough now to pull both of them up together.
The woman sped at full speed, and just as she was exhausted, she was caught on a rope and grabbed it tightly.
The creatures were overjoyed, grabbed the rope and dashed away, pulling the woman up almost instantly.
The woman had left the suction space and saw Long Chen's body slowly retreating from the push point, being sucked into the spatial rift. The closer she got to the rift, the stronger the suction became.
The woman shouted anxiously. She wanted to save Long Chen, but there was nothing she could do, so she could only stand there, stomping her feet in desperation.
"Fool"—
it wasn't just that woman stomping its foot. Dragon Bone Xie Yue also cursed loudly. It couldn't understand Long Chen's foolishness—for a stranger, he wasn't even sure if she was friend or foe, and went to save her, putting himself in a desperate situation.
"I've been foolish for quite some time. If I can't do something, don't complain—it hurts our relationship." Long Chen took a deep breath and replied.
Making Long Chen abandon someone who saved him and escape alone is even harder than making Long Chen risk his own life. Back then, in the afterlife, what happened to Xie Qianqian was very similar to now. Back then, Long Chen hadn't abandoned her, and now it's the same—he can't do it.
The suction grew stronger and stronger, his body rapidly retreating. By the time those beings tied ropes, it was already too late. Now, Long Chen could only rely on himself.
"Spatial rift, let me see what you really are."
Long Chen gritted his teeth, no longer wasting his strength resisting, letting his body rapidly fly toward the spatial rift. In his ears, the cries of beings in the distance echoed in his ears.
"Divine Ring—Manifest!"
"Battle Body—Open!"
Long Chen roared angrily, his entire body covered in white dragon scales. The hundred-eight thousand stars within him trembled. Now, Long Chen had no other choice.
"Rumble rumble..."
When Long Chen approached the spatial rift, he immediately felt the space crushed like giant gears. The heavenly Dao had shattered, like the teeth of a giant beast chewing the heavens and earth.
Long Chen roared and thundered all around him, resisting the invisible pressure. Like driftwood in a raging current, he was gradually swept into a vortex. When he entered the spatial rift, his bones cracked loudly—the pressure was terrifying.
"Brother Long Chen, let me help you withstand it. I'm fine with this kind of pressure." Ling'er transmitted her voice, afraid Long Chen wouldn't be able to hold on.
"No need for now. I want to see what exactly is going on with this spatial rift." Long Chen sent a voice transmission, indicating he could hold on.
"What are you looking at? This spatial rift is caused by those alien races shattering the core of the ancestral land, breaking through the world's barrier, and triggering spatial turbulence.
This place was like the embankment of a river, artificially punched with a small hole. The laws of the spatial river surged in, annihilating all vitality. Everything present here was the power of death.
Once the laws here reach saturation, you'll be swallowed by spatial rifts and flooded into the mainstream. That would be a dead end. If you want to survive, you must break through to Emperor. Clearly, that's just wishful thinking for you. "Dragon Bone Evil Moon said coldly, clearly still resentful of Long Chen's actions.
"The power of death?" That's right, it's the power of death. "Long Chen's eyes suddenly lit up.
Dragonbone Evil Moon gave him a reminder and hurriedly said to Ling'er, "Ling'er, I'll teach you how to refine the Corroding Heart-Eroding Bone-Eroding Necro Pill now. Listen carefully." "
Alchemy?"
Ling'er was shocked; at this moment, Long Chen still needed to refine pills.
"Yes, but I have to fight against the forces here, so I can't teach you step by step, so you have to listen carefully." Long Chen said very seriously.
"But is it still possible to do this?" Ling'er said nervously. You have to understand, according to Dragon Bone Xie Yue, Long Chen is currently in a loophole. If he is sucked into the main stream of the space, he will be killed. At a time like this, instead of trying to escape, he thinks about refining pills. This is just too absurd.
"Whether it's in time or not, no one knows, but we can't just sit and wait for death. There's no time to explain. I'll give you the recipe and refining method..."
Long Chen directly brought the rare medicine from the chaotic space into Ling'er's body, then taught her the formula and refining method one by one.
Because Long Chen needed to control his body, he couldn't split his mind to teach Ling'er. Fortunately, Ling'er had some foundation in alchemy, so the Corroding Heart-Eroding Bone-Eroding Death Elixir wasn't too difficult, so she started refining it directly.
"Crack, crack, crack... Long
Chen felt his body tightening tighter, almost deforming. Now, he was being sucked into endless darkness, with only a distant crack where a glimmer of light could still be seen. The voices of those living beings had completely disappeared.
This was a terrifying devouring experience—endless darkness that instilled fear in people's hearts. Even Long Chen was no exception. His heart was filled with tension, but he had to pull himself together, close his eyes, and carefully sense the situation around him.
"Buzz"
At that moment, the Demon Moon Furnace inside Long Chen trembled slightly. One batch of pills was ready, but only three were useless pills refined; the rest were all low-grade pills. Long Chen's heart sank a little.
