Long Chen was shocked; he hadn't expected that old ghost to be so ruthless, able to unleash such terrifying power.
What he didn't know was that, in a fit of anger, the old man opened all seven hundred gates. This meant that the others' divine pool baptism stopped, and all their power was concentrated in his side.
In that instant, Long Chen sensed the aura of death. Before he could react, the star map behind him automatically appeared, frantically absorbing the world's origin power.
Originally, out of 108,000 stars, only a little over twenty thousand were ignited, but at this moment, those stars rapidly lit up.
"Thirty thousand ... Forty thousand ... Fifty thousand ..."
The source power of that world is terrifying—no one can withstand it. But Long Chen's star power shares the same origin as the power here and is not rejected. So when the star power envelops Long Chen, he won't be harmed.
Under such overwhelming power, Long Chen's star was rapidly ignited. At that moment, a piercing alarm sounded. Clearly, the old man knew that after this trick, the alarm would be triggered, so he fled early.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the entire cave dwelling trembled. The surging world power around Long Chen slowly faded, and the gushing spring water began to slowly fall underground.
"Someone's here, hehe, but it's okay, it's already taken care of."
Long Chen hurriedly took back the star map, looking at his dantian. All the stars had completed immortal transformation, and he could hardly express his gratitude toward the old man.
It should be known that the source of the world within the Divine Fire Spirit Pool is extremely precious, and Long Chen alone has lost countless resources.
If the old man hadn't deliberately harmed him, he wouldn't have gotten so much Heaven and Earth Spirit Energy. Even if he became a Celestial Master, the academy would never spend so much on him. This time, Long Chen had quietly made a fortune.
Suddenly, the main door opened, and several elders rushed in. Seeing Long Chen dressed, they were shocked:
"You... You ... Are you still alive? "
I guess. If I die, you can still see me, which means you are dead too. If you think you're alive, then I should be alive too." Long Chen put on his clothes, feeling cheerful, and smiled at the group of elders.
These elders were all the leaders here. Suddenly, the formation sounded an alarm, all the gates were opened, and they rushed toward a divine pool, startling them all and rushing over to check.
They had thought that even if there were people here, their bones would have long since vanished, but unexpectedly, they saw a lively and lively person. For a moment, they were all stunned.
"What's happening here?" It took them a while to react.
"You want to ask me?" I want to ask you more? How did the water spray out so quickly? It almost choked me to death. Luckily, I'm not a bad swimmer.
Alright, I'm done. You all check and see if there's something wrong with the formation. After Long Chen finished speaking, he left just like that.
When Long Chen left, he saw quite a few people standing in the passage, both men and women, each looking bewildered. Clearly, they were undergoing a baptism, but suddenly the water had gone out, leaving them completely bewildered.
When Long Chen came out, he didn't see the person who brought him in; he guessed the old man had taken him away.
This old man was cunning too. Taking that person away was like carrying a protective talisman. If Long Chen guessed correctly, that person should have already been killed.
It could easily create the illusion of a suicide out of guilt, essentially a death without witnesses. Since that old man dared to act personally, it meant he was confident enough to erase all evidence.
Long Chen's testimony was basically meaningless, because Long Chen couldn't see the outside world. It was even more impossible to convict him just by hearing his words.
So Long Chen couldn't be bothered to bother with it. But this time, it also served as a wake-up call: facing this group of all-around infiltrators, he absolutely couldn't afford to let his guard down.
Long Chen took the teleportation array back to his residence. Just as he walked along the corridor halfway up the mountain, he suddenly felt a sense of danger and darted to the right like lightning.
"Sss!"
An arrow flew almost close to Long Chen's ribs, the air swirling, and with a loud explosion, sparks flew as the arrow pierced through a nearby rock.
"Silent arrows,"
Long Chen was startled. Guo Ran had used this arrow before. Every time he faced a powerful opponent, he used it. This arrow was silent and inspired, causing countless powerful opponents to suffer bitter defeat. Guo Ran had used it to kill many opponents stronger than himself.
"Sss..."
Long Chen dodged an arrow, and one after another, silently and silently, shot toward him. He dodged left and right, and after dodging the arrows, they pierced through the rocks of the giant tree, erupting with a loud crash.
"So fast..."
Long Chen dodged repeatedly, the arrows silent and silent. He barely dodged by relying solely on his sense of danger, not even having a chance to locate his opponent.
Long Chen kept dodging, but there was nowhere else to hide. Clearly, the enemy had already set up an ambush, and only launched an attack when he arrived.
Long Chen's Nine-Star Overlord Body Technique has a keen sense of danger, but it's not omnipotent. Sometimes, all strong beings have assassination methods specifically targeted by perception.
Some even perform self-hypnosis before the target appears, temporarily forgetting the target. When the target steps into the designated area, they use alarm devices to wake them up, using similar methods to avoid detection.
The opponent was a terrifying archer. His attacks were not only silent but also with arc-shaped arrows—not aimed shots, but a calculated shot. This method was the most terrifying—impossible to block, nowhere to dodge, designed to deceive instincts. By the time he realized he had been tricked, he was already struck.
Long Chen was furious. He felt like a rabbit exposed in the wilderness, becoming a live target. Moreover, that person was far away and couldn't do anything to him. Long Chen ran wildly all the way, dodging as he went.
After narrowly dodging dozens of arrows, Long Chen finally reached the front of a cave dwelling and smashed his fist onto the main gate of the cave residence. With a loud bang, the cave door was shattered by Long Chen's punch.
Long Chen slipped into the cave dwelling and finally found a refuge. As he rushed in, he saw a man and a woman inside staring at him in terror. Long Chen was also startled—turns out they were doing some kind of emotional exercise.
The woman screamed in surprise, grabbed her clothes, and ran inside. The man, furious, was about to speak when Long Chen kicked him.
"Sss!"
An arrow nearly flew past the man's cheek. If it weren't for Long Chen's kick, the man's head would have been pierced by the arrow. The man was so terrified that he lay on the ground, not daring to move.
"Ss...
Several more arrows flew into the cave dwelling, but they were all fired wildly. Long Chen didn't need to dodge; his face darkened as he unleashed his soul power, rapidly spreading outward.
But his divine sense only detected a spatial fluctuation before everything else. Clearly, the other side was prepared, and after a failed sneak attack, he escaped using a teleportation talisman.
"Big brother, thank you."
The man looked terrified and thanked Long Chen. If it hadn't been for Long Chen just now, he would have already died.
"Brother, sorry to have held you upThere is a chance to compensate you. After Long Chen finished speaking, he dashed out. Soon, he found a foothold atop a mountain, which was very well hidden.
"Even if you manage to escape, so what? So what if your breath gets messed up? Your soul fluctuations can't dissipate immediately. I'll remember you. Long
Chen's face darkened. It was the first time in his life he had been used as a target, yet he hadn't even caught a glimpse of her. His anger was about to flare up.
