Chapter 2448 - 2416: The Unexpected Turn

Chapter 2448: Chapter 2416: The Unexpected Turn

Li Chen’s objective is the Ningdao Stone, and he doesn’t care what method he uses to obtain it.

Moreover, he is aware that obtaining the Ningdao Stone through legitimate means is incredibly difficult.

Not to mention that he is inherently a subpar Dao Saint, and merely the presence of the Star Extinguishing Dao Saint at the Late Stage of Palm Source Realm on the opposite side makes him feel like a mouse unable to catch a turtle.

However, he clearly did not expect the Autumn Water Dao Saint to give him such a big surprise.

"Now this is interesting."

Die Luosha dared to come here naturally with preparations in hand. She looked at the Autumn Water Dao Saint Leng Yuning and chuckled softly, "Junior sister, that Founding Cosmic Heart has been deposited with you for nearly half an era. I wonder, can you give it to your senior sister now?"

The Autumn Water Dao Saint looked at her senior sister, who had once ventured outside the Jianmu Universe with her, and gently shook her head. "I want to give it to you, senior sister, but that Founding Cosmic Heart has already been fused by me. If senior sister is willing, I can offer some other compensation."

"Fusion?" Die Luosha sneered, "Leng Yuning, do you think I’m a fool? The Founding Cosmic Heart is the Source of the Universe left behind after the fall of a Founding Realm powerhouse. Even if half an era has passed and your cultivation has grown stronger than back then, claiming that you’ve fused the Founding Cosmic Heart is truly beyond your capability!"

"Since senior sister doesn’t believe me, I have nothing more to say." The Autumn Water Dao Saint shook her head.

"Nothing more to say, huh!" Die Luosha’s eyes sharpened suddenly, "You and I as sister disciples have been by each other’s side for nearly two eras, and you with that Mo-named guy, were what I facilitated. But today, what a spectacle I’ve witnessed!"

"Mo Ying." Die Luosha turned her gaze to the Destruction Law Saint Mo Ying beside her and spoke somewhat inexplicably, "At this very moment, haven’t you realized what kind of woman she truly is?"

Mo Ying’s expression kept changing, indicating the intense struggle within him.

Yet, after a moment, Mo Ying still shook his head and calmed down.

"I trust her."

That single sentence caused the expressions of both women to change.

Die Luosha was enraged, while Leng Yuning remained silent, but her gaze softened inexplicably when directed at Mo Ying.

"Are you stupid or what? Don’t you know what kind of person my senior sister is? If she dared to appear here, she wouldn’t be unprepared?" Leng Yuning looked at Mo Ying beside her and shook her head.

"I know, but I still choose to trust you." Mo Ying’s eyes carried an unfathomable tenderness.

For some reason, witnessing this scene, Li Chen seemed to be stirred by something.

It was evident that as Die Luosha’s words fell, everyone around, except Mo Ying, instinctively distanced themselves from Leng Yuning.

No matter what, everyone here was a Dao Saint of the Jianmu Universe, and not only was it against Jianmu Universe’s laws to fight amongst each other, but they also understood that beyond the universe, there was too much unknown.

Outside, even if hostile toward each other, being fellow beings of the same universe, they would try to lend a hand when possible.

If Die Luosha’s words were true, then without a doubt, Autumn Water Dao Saint Leng Yuning’s actions would be considered quite vile.

Abandoning fellow disciples, obtaining the treasure alone and fleeing, and even after returning, never organizing a search for her senior sister’s whereabouts.

A person like this is truly cold-hearted.

Such a friend cannot be befriended!

"It seems junior sister, you’re planning to reject the offer of peace and instead choose conflict!" Die Luosha sneered.

"Everyone, today is a personal vendetta among us fellow disciples, so I hope none of you interfere." At this moment, Die Luosha looked at Tao Wu and Leiyang and others.

Undoubtedly, when Die Luosha said these words, it was already clear what she intended to do.

Tao Wu and Leiyang and others instinctively backed off.

Although Dao Saints can’t easily engage in life-and-death battles, it’s not absolutely forbidden.

Under current circumstances, the conditions for a life-and-death duel have been fully met.

Until now, due to the rules of the Jianmu Universe, Dao Saints have rarely engaged in deadly battles, but today, there might just be a Dao Saint death match.

How terrifying battles between powerhouses of this caliber actually are, has everyone watching intently.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, an infinite light of Mysterious Yellow erupted from Die Luosha, and simultaneously, a Pseudo-Universe spread out. It carried a terrifying momentum as if crushing a world, directly pressing towards Autumn Water Dao Saint.

Mo Ying was just about to intervene but was kicked away by Autumn Water Dao Saint: "Get lost, this is a personal matter, it’s none of your concern!"

Mo Ying hadn’t even had a chance to speak before being knocked away by Leng Yuning’s ice-blue Pseudo-Universe.

At the same time, around Leng Yuning, clusters of ice flowers bloomed, the petals of which transformed into blades tearing through space, directly stabbing towards Die Luosha, colliding with the Mysterious Yellow light.

"This is the Power of Origin!"

From afar, Li Chen who had backed off, showed a complex expression.

In the past, he was forced into a situation with no escape by Shang’s Power of Origin, even sacrificing his parents to barely save his own life.

If it weren’t for the appearance of Black Qi, he might have already died at Shang’s hands.

Dao Saints are like insurmountable mountains to cultivators below the Palm Realm.

"But now, if I could return to my former cultivation, I am confident I could battle a Dao Saint, and wouldn’t be as pitiful as back then." Li Chen’s aura flickered for a moment, then was contained.

That was the transparent force he referred to as the ’Power of Nihility.’

He could sense that this Power of Nihility was much stronger compared to the Yuan Force he fused from several cultivation systems; in quality, completely surpassing cultivators of the same grade.

Li Chen felt that this Power of Nihility might genuinely match the Palm Realm Source Force!

"But first, I must return to the Palm Realm!"

The commotion from the battle between the Dao Saints was extremely ferocious, and to describe it as truly world-shattering wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

Being in the Dreamfall Battlefield was fortunate, for if it were outside, not only would it affect the Jiankong Realm significantly, but the entire region’s space would likely crumble.

Even with the suppression of the Dreamfall Battlefield, the signs of uncontrollable commotion in their duel were evident.

The cultivators on Molting Dream Mountain below had already retreated.

And Molting Dream Mountain, famous within the Dreamfall Battlefield, finally collapsed after lasting no more than half an incense stick of time.

At this moment, Li Chen suddenly turned his gaze in another direction.

In that direction, Li Chen saw the strongest presence at the scene, the Star Extinguishing Dao Saint, pressing his palm on the head of the Dark Water Dao Saint. From his palm, a strange Divine Soul fluctuation continuously transmitted into Dark Water Dao Saint’s brain.

Li Chen’s gaze instantly turned as cold as eternal Profound Ice.

"Law of Destruction, Doomsday Beast Soul!!"
