Long Chen turned around and saw a group of people running toward him in the distance. Among them were men and women. The women quickly turned their heads away upon seeing Long Chen's appearance, while the men wore mocking and disdainful expressions.
Only then did Long Chen realize that he was completely naked. His black robe was gone. It turned out that all these days, Long Chen had been wearing clothes that Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue had crafted for him using the laws of the underworld.
When he entered the Immortal Realm, the laws of the underworld disappeared, and so did his clothes. However, his mind remained in the chaotic space and he was unaware.
Long Chen hurriedly took out his clothes and put them on. By now, these people had already rushed over. To his surprise, several of them had unusual blood energy—they weren't human, or rather, they carried the aura of beast race. In other words, these people were human-beast hybrids.
"Kid, are you showing off your butt here? Let me ask you, what just happened here? A pale-faced man dressed in a purple robe, looking very young, spoke arrogantly.
Like Long Chen, this person was also at the peak of the Four Extremes Realm, a first-generation master. Judging by his aura, he could barely be considered a master. However, the proud expression on his face made Long Chen feel that his strength was somewhat incompatible.
Among these people, it seemed that the arrogant man was the leader. They wore identical clothing and appeared to be from the same sect.
"You're asking me?" Long Chen pointed at his own nose and asked.
"Of course, is there anyone else here? If I don't ask you, who else should I ask? The man said impatiently.
"You ask me, then who should I ask?" Long Chen curled his lips and turned to leave.
"Kid, are you looking for death? Do you know who you're talking to? Aren't you going to kneel down and beg Senior Brother Qi to spare your life? Seeing
Long Chen about to leave, the group suddenly surrounded him. A man shouted sternly, but they didn't draw their weapons, seemingly not taking Long Chen seriously.
Long Chen almost lost his composure. These guys—Long Chen could kill an entire group with a single slap, yet they actually made him kneel.
"Oh, it seems you're someone of great significance. I'm a bit of a poor eyesight and haven't asked yet...," Long Chen said, feigning surprise as he looked at the man.
Before Senior Brother Qi could speak, a powerful figure beside him shouted, "Kid, listen carefully! This is Senior Brother Qi Heng, ranked 1,901st in our Falling Star Sect."
He possesses the noble bloodline of the Golden Scale Fire Jiao. You're just a lowly human—if you don't kneel and apologize now, when will you wait?" "
Golden-scaled Fire Jiao?" Noble bloodline? Long Chen looked Senior Brother Qi up and down and found that although he had beast blood fluctuations, there was no flame fluctuation, and his appearance showed no connection to the Golden-scaled Fire Jiao.
In other words, although he possessed the bloodline of the Golden-scaled Fire Jiao, it was long since impurity, with not a trace of flame power within him.
Mentioning the Golden-scaled Fire Jiao, Senior Brother Qi immediately showed a proud expression, as if it was the thing he was most confident and proud of.
"Impressive, impressive..." Long Chen nodded, sincerely convinced.
Seeing Long Chen say he admired him, Senior Brother Qi's expression seemed to soften a little. But before he could finish, Long Chen continued:
"I really admire your courage. Ranked over 1,900, yet you still have the nerve to announce it. I just want to ask, how did your skin become so impervious to blades, bullets, water, and fire?"
"Die!" Senior Brother Qi was furious.
With a loud explosion, Senior Brother Qi lay down, convulsing on the ground. Before he could make a move, Long Chen slapped him to the ground. The others felt their vision blur and didn't understand what was happening. The strongest among them, Senior Brother Qi, was knocked down just like that.
Senior Brother Qi's neck hung down, clearly broken by the slap, his body already deformed. He looked at Long Chen in terror and was horrified to realize that in that instant, his body had lost its ability to heal and was unable to move.
"You, who are you..."
The experts who had come with Senior Brother Qi shouted and retreated, drawing their weapons at Long Chen but continuing to retreat. At the same time, a disciple suddenly flicked a hand into the void, causing a cracking sound and a strange pattern appearing, seemingly sending out a distress signal.
"Kid, our distress signal has already been sent. A strong fighter will arrive soon. I advise you... Ah..."
The powerful figure who had sent out the distress signal suddenly let out a miserable scream. A fist-sized rock struck his chest, shattering it. He collapsed in the chest and tumbled far away.
Long Chen found the man too nagging, kicked a stone, and told him to shut up. However, Long Chen didn't kill him, or else he would have turned into snowy mist.
The others stared at Long Chen in terror. This time, they knew he was a terrifying expert—they had hit a wall.
"Don't kill me, or you'll get yourself into big trouble. Whatever you want, as long as I have it, I'll give it to you." Senior Brother Qi couldn't move, but his mind was still sharp, ready to sacrifice his wealth to save his life.
"Don't worry, I won't kill you, nor would I stoop to you. I'm going to search your soul now, so you'd better cooperate, or else you'll be killing yourself—it has nothing to do with me." As Long Chen spoke, he pointed a finger toward Senior Brother Qi's forehead.
"No, there is a restriction in my soul. Any memory of the Luo Star Sect will die... Senior Brother Qi shouted in terror.
"I have absolutely no interest in your damn Luoxing Sect. You'd better cooperate, or I'll slap you to death right now." Long Chen snorted coldly and pressed his finger to Senior Brother Qi's forehead. Senior Brother Qi's body trembled, and endless information flooded Long Chen's mind.
"Tiandu Star Domain?" Gulan Region, Ruixia Prefecture? Rule by a demon beast clan? Is the human race the most lowly? Humans survive humbly by being petted by others? ..."
Long Chen was somewhat incredulous. Although the place he was in was an Immortal Realm, it was indeed the Tiandu Star Domain, not the original Tianyan Star Domain.
The Tianlan Domain was just one region within the Tianyan Star Domain, and Wutian had sent him back to the Immortal Realm, but it was no longer in his original star domain. Long Chen had no idea how far he was from the Tianyan Star Domain now.
What surprised Long Chen most was that, by checking Senior Brother Qi's memories, he learned that this star domain was ruled by the demon beast clan. The human race intermarried with the demon beast race, and most of the living beings in this star region were human-beast hybrids.
The beast clan is the most noble, while humans live at the very bottom. They cultivate diligently in hopes of one day gaining their favor and choosing them as spouses or followers.
Now Long Chen finally understood why Senior Brother Qi was so proud—because a trace of beast blood flowed within him.
Those pure human powerhouses are just their followers; you need to please them in order to survive.
"You humble fellow, are you provoking our Falling Star Sect?" Long Chen had just finished soul-searching when countless powerful auras surged in from all directions, surrounding the area.
