Chapter 1785 - 1782: Escape from Death!
Li Chen carefully examined the surrounding terrain and instructed the Dragon Girl:
"In a moment, I will construct a space barrier to isolate the connection between the Sea Origin Crystal and the Kun. You protect me in case other parasitic sea beasts come to cause trouble, understand?"
After listening to Li Chen’s instructions, the Dragon Girl nodded vigorously like a little chick pecking at rice.
"Got it. You go ahead, leave everything here to me!"
Hearing the Dragon Girl’s affirming response, Li Chen flashed a slight smile at her.
Subsequently, Li Chen’s figure transformed into a stream of light, flying toward the heart of the Kun.
When parallel with the heart, Li Chen sat cross-legged, entering a profound and mysterious world.
At this moment, whether breathing or otherwise, he was in sync with the massive heart of the Kun, as if they were about to merge into one.
After deceiving the Kun’s heart, Li Chen silently activated the Meteorite Heart, unleashing the power of the stars, rotating around that enormous heart.
Once the stellar force completely enveloped the heart of the Kun.
Li Chen’s tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, shooting out a radiant and dazzling light.
Immediately after, he retrieved the Sea Origin Crystal as if plucking an item from a sack.
As soon as the Sea Origin Crystal detached from the Kun’s heart, those parasitic sea beasts surged in crazily, like sharks smelling blood.
The Dragon Girl even released her true form, but still couldn’t withstand the madness of these parasitic sea beasts.
In just a few clashes, she was already riddled with scars.
Several parts of her body were already so deeply wounded that the bones were visible, horrifying to behold.
Just as the Dragon Girl was about to be torn to shreds by this frenzied swarm of parasitic sea beasts, a wild and unparalleled palm imprint suddenly suppressed them.
Subsequently, Li Chen appeared beside the Dragon Girl.
"Got it, we must leave here quickly. Otherwise, if the Kun becomes aware, it will surely fight us to the death. By then, if we want to leave, we won’t be able to!"
The Sea Origin Crystal was originally parasitic on the Kun’s heart, already fused with the Kun.
Li Chen used a space barrier to temporarily seal off the Kun’s heart.
But for such a powerful prehistoric Divine Beast as the Kun, this kind of sealing wouldn’t last long.
It would soon become aware.
Therefore, Li Chen and the Dragon Girl must leave here before the Kun realized it.
Li Chen summoned the Jiuzhou Divine Tripod to clear the path, with the Dragon Girl following closely behind.
Any sea beast daring to block the way was torn apart.
However, the allure of the Sea Origin Crystal was just too great for these parasitic sea beasts.
They all rushed forward like moths to a flame, completely ignoring their own lives, charging ahead one after another.
Often, the batch in front hadn’t fallen yet, and the batch at the back surged forward wildly.
In this way, countless parasitic sea beasts were slaughtered.
Finally, Li Chen and the Dragon Girl saw a ray of hope ahead.
"That’s the Kun’s mouth up ahead; let’s rush out directly in one go!"
Li Chen glanced slightly sideways and said to the already exhausted Dragon Girl.
At this moment, the Dragon Girl no longer had the strength to speak, only nodding weakly.
Li Chen summoned the Chi Dragon Divine Spear and continuously infused his spiritual power into it.
With the replenishment of Li Chen’s spiritual power, the Chi Dragon Divine Spear immediately burst into radiant brilliance.
Vaguely, a Single-Horned Dragon could be seen coiling around the shimmering spear tip.
Feeling that the moment was just right, Li Chen’s arm shook mightily, and the Chi Dragon Divine Spear shot toward the huge teeth of the Kun like a shooting star across the sky.
"Crack!"
This strike, like a comet hitting the moon and a white rainbow piercing the sun, instantly drilled a hole in the Kun’s tooth.
"Now!"
Li Chen grabbed the Dragon Girl’s arm, and his body broke through the thousandfold sound barrier in an instant, rushing out swiftly.
At this moment, the Kun had realized that someone had stolen the Sea Origin Crystal it had guarded for millions of years, and it was instantly furious.
It suddenly opened its blood-red massive jaws and spewed out a monstrous wave, pressing down overwhelmingly toward Li Chen and the Dragon Girl.
Seeing this, Li Chen quickly clasped his hands together, forming a seal. With one palm, he blocked the massive wave above his head.
Then, he took the Dragon Girl and directly soared into the clouds.
Seeing the thief who had stolen its Sea Origin Crystal escape into the void, the Kun was furious.
But now, it hadn’t transformed into a Peng and still couldn’t fly, unable to pursue.
As a result, the other sea beasts in this Beiming Sea area suffered great misfortune.
All living beings within millions of miles became the targets of the Kun’s fury.
All were slaughtered by the enraged Kun.
In an instant, the entire Beiming Sea turned into a sea of the dead, with not a trace of life to be found.
"That was close!"
The Dragon Girl, temporarily having escaped death, patted her chest, still in shock.
Li Chen glanced at the Beiming Sea below, expressionless, and said: "Luckily, this creature hasn’t transformed into a Peng; otherwise, we would have been in trouble!"
Upon hearing that the Kun could transform, the Dragon Girl was so shocked her eyes nearly bulged out.
After a long time, she sighed deeply.
"That’s terrifying!"
Li Chen chuckled lightly and said, "This universe is vast and boundless, so immense. There are countless existences more terrifying than the Kun and Peng!"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the Dragon Girl’s already large eyes opened wide, filled with disbelief.
After quite some time, she snapped out of her shock, astonished and asked: "You’ve met?"
Li Chen nodded and replied, "Yes, I have!"
If it were before, the Dragon Girl would have surely thought Li Chen was exaggerating.
But after this adventure, she was already impressed by Li Chen and firmly believed in what he said.
At this moment, the Dragon Girl felt that Li Chen was very mysterious.
Like the vast, boundless starry sky, no matter how she looked, she couldn’t see through him.
"Who, who, who on earth are you? How do you know these things? Are you from above?"
As she spoke, the Dragon Girl’s extended fingers were trembling slightly.
Above the Heavenly Domain refers to the Divine Domain.
What’s called the Divine Domain isn’t a plane but rather a term for Divine-level Civilization.
Emperor Zhuanxu, Beiming Xue... They all exist above the Divine Domain.
Recollecting various past events, Li Chen couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
He believed it wouldn’t be long before he would meet them again!
Thinking of the reunion scene, Li Chen’s starlike bright eyes unknowingly showed a touch of melancholy, filled with complex emotions.
The Dragon Girl saw Li Chen’s expression suddenly become incredibly complex, and she knew in her heart that he must have secrets she didn’t know.
Moreover, since Li Chen didn’t want to say more, she didn’t press further.
"If you can’t say, then forget it!"
There was a hint of disappointment in the Dragon Girl’s tone as she spoke these words.
Li Chen gave her a faint smile and said, "Some things you don’t need to know now. Your current strength is too weak, and knowing more would do you no good. When the time is right, I’ll tell you!"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s reply, the Dragon Girl pouted and said, "If you won’t say, then don’t. Is it necessary to be so mysterious?"
Li Chen chuckled and said nothing more.
"Since we have the Sea Origin Crystal, we should hurry back to avoid further complications!"
