Chapter 1784 - 1781: Sea Origin Crystal!
The Ghost Baby was greatly shocked to see Li Chen breaking through the carefully constructed defense with such ease.
He suddenly opened his bloody mouth and exhaled a more wicked and terrifying Ghost Fire.
"Clang!"
The Chi Dragon Divine Spear collided with the Ghost Fire, sparking countless flames, illuminating the bizarre world in flickers.
Taking advantage of the entanglement between the Chi Dragon Divine Spear and the Ghost Baby, Li Chen summoned the Seven-star Dragon Abyss.
"Sword Control Thunder Technique!"
With Li Chen’s angry roar, a lightning bolt suddenly struck.
Lightning, being the ultimate element of yang and firmness, has an innate restraining effect over Dead Ghosts.
Although the Ghost Baby was very powerful, it was no exception.
Moreover, Li Chen has an endless array of Cultivation Techniques to restrain the dead spirits.
After just a few rounds of confrontation, the Ghost Baby was already unable to withstand it.
It opened its bloody mouth and began to cry loudly.
The louder the Ghost Baby cried, the more Dead Ghosts gathered around.
Seizing the critical moment when the Dead Ghosts gathered, the Ghost Baby suddenly transformed into a dark smoke and fled toward the distance.
It seems he plans to escape Yaoyaoo.
Li Chen, wanting to obtain the Sea Origin Crystal, would inevitably face a fierce battle.
The Ghost Baby is formidable, and if it escapes, it will certainly be a major hidden threat.
Thinking of this, Li Chen shouted to the Dragon Girl.
"Be careful yourself, I’m going to catch that Ghost Baby!"
Before the words fully reached the Dragon Girl’s ears, Li Chen’s figure had transformed into a stream of light, swiftly chasing after.
After chasing for a while, Li Chen was surprised to find that the Ghost Baby had disappeared without a trace, not leaving a single hint of presence.
Strange, did he already leave Kun’s body?
But just as this thought appeared, Li Chen dismissed it.
The Ghost Baby probably has been here since birth and would never leave easily.
Now, it might be hiding in some special hidden space.
Thinking of this, Li Chen ascended into the air, overlooking the scene below.
At the same time, his Divine Soul was rapidly released, conducting a carpet search of the surrounding terrain and caves.
However, it yielded nothing!
While Li Chen was puzzled, he suddenly felt a chilling sensation above his head.
Looking up, he saw a horribly grotesque ghost baby, opening its bloody mouth, giving him a strange smile.
Seeing this, Li Chen quickly gathered a golden palm print in his palm and suppressed the Ghost Baby.
"Ah!"
The Ghost Baby let out a shrill scream and once again transformed into a black mist, attempting to escape like before.
Seeing this, Li Chen’s lips curled into a disdainful cold smile.
"Heh, trying to escape, it’s not that easy!"
As he spoke, Li Chen cast a Space Barrier, sealing the Ghost Baby within.
Seeing himself imprisoned, the Ghost Baby immediately became flustered and began to frantically struggle to break free from these restrictions.
However, the more he struggled, the smaller the space for him to dodge and shift.
Until it’s only room enough for a small space!
The Ghost Baby realized he was completely trapped this time and stopped struggling, bowing towards Li Chen.
Clearly, he was pleading with Li Chen to spare his life.
However, Li Chen was completely unmoved by this.
"You’ve harmed so many lives, your crimes are unforgivable. Hopefully, in your next life, you can be born well!"
After Li Chen finished speaking, a golden 卍 Light Seal quickly formed in his palm, fiercely suppressing the Ghost Baby.
"Ah!"
With another extremely shrill scream, the Ghost Baby’s body transformed into a black mist until it vanished, utterly void.
With the Ghost Baby vanquished, those Dead Ghosts under his control also dissolved into oblivion.
Seeing this, the Dragon Girl knew for sure that Li Chen must have succeeded.
Immediately, her figure transformed into a stream of light, quickly darting towards Li Chen’s direction.
"What happened to that ghost baby?"
Li Chen replied expressionlessly, "I annihilated it!"
Upon hearing that the ghost baby had been eradicated, the Dragon Girl’s heart finally settled.
After vanquishing the Ghost Baby, Li Chen released his Divine Soul, conducting a carpet search of the surrounding environment.
"About eight thousand miles ahead is the location of the Sea Origin Crystal. However, there seems to be something even more powerful than the Ghost Baby there, so be sure to be careful, understood?"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s admonishment, the Dragon Girl nodded heavily.
Within these eight thousand miles, Li Chen and the Dragon Girl encountered countless Parasitic Sea Beasts.
Moreover, the closer to the Sea Origin Crystal, the more formidable the Parasitic Sea Beasts became.
In just a few thousand miles, there were more than a handful of Parasitic Sea Beasts with strength not below that of the Ghost Baby.
However, for Li Chen, solving them wasn’t difficult, just a matter of spending more effort.
Along this journey, the Dragon Girl’s admiration for Li Chen had become as endless as the river waters.
Bear in mind that before meeting Li Chen, she had a low opinion of humans and certainly never idolized them.
Li Chen’s presence overturned her perception of humanity entirely.
"We’re here!"
After clearing all Parasitic Sea Beasts attempting to block their path, Li Chen’s gaze fell directly onto a massive heart beating ahead, and he said to the Dragon Girl.
Kun’s heart was large, at least the size of a town.
It rose and fell rhythmically, appearing extraordinarily magnificent.
The Dragon Girl stared at that massive heart for quite a while.
Suddenly, she noticed an oval object emitting a glowing sea-blue light.
"Isn’t that sea-blue thing the Sea Origin Crystal we’re looking for?"
Li Chen studied the direction pointed by the Dragon Girl’s finger for a moment and said, "Yes, that is the Sea Origin Crystal we’re seeking!"
Upon receiving Li Chen’s confirmation, the Dragon Girl couldn’t help but feel ecstatic.
As long as they had the Sea Origin Crystal, their whole Dragon Clan could be saved.
But just as she was about to grab the Sea Origin Crystal, Li Chen stopped her.
Startled, the Dragon Girl blinked her agile eyes and asked, "Isn’t that the Sea Origin Crystal? Why not take it down?"
Li Chen shook his head and said, "It’s not that simple!"
As he spoke, he used the Seven-star Dragon Abyss to lift a white object.
The Dragon Girl saw the white object on Li Chen’s sword tip and asked, "What is this thing?"
Li Chen responded, pausing between each word, "Bone powder!"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the Dragon Girl was so shocked she nearly fell to the ground.
Because she realized that all around them was this bone powder.
"How many sea beasts must have died to accumulate so much bone powder?"
Li Chen didn’t directly answer the Dragon Girl’s question but instead gazed at the Sea Origin Crystal and said quietly, "I don’t know how many died, but nine times out of ten, they all died because of that thing!"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, the Dragon Girl couldn’t help but shiver again, feeling fearful of her previous impulse.
If Li Chen hadn’t stopped her, she might have also become bone powder by now.
The Dragon Girl calmed her mind and asked, "So what do we do now?"
Li Chen thought for a moment and replied, "Isolate the Sea Origin Crystal from its spatial connection with Kun!"
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Girl widened her eyes and asked, puzzled, "How to isolate?"
Li Chen looked at the Sea Origin Crystal and replied, pausing between each word, "Create a Space Barrier around the Sea Origin Crystal!"
