Chapter 2449 - 2417: Identity Confirmation

Chapter 2449: Chapter 2417: Identity Confirmation

Relatively speaking, although the scene was explosive, Li Chen didn’t really care about it.

However, when he sensed the unique aura of the Law of Destruction, his expression instantly darkened.

Nevertheless, he still refrained from acting rashly.

Because he didn’t know if the Law of Destruction was exclusive to the Starry Universe.

If the Jianmu Universe also had the Law of Destruction, then things would be different.

Suppressing the killing intent about to erupt from his body, Li Chen squinted slightly as he looked in the direction of Mie Xing Dao Saint.

If it were other matters, Li Chen might not care, and could even temporarily set them aside.

But if it was about the Doomsday Beast Soul, he would not let it go easily.

Looking at the Demon Saint of Qingqiu, who had also retreated to his side with a grateful expression, Li Chen asked calmly, "Brother Qingqiu, a relatively straightforward question, how many types of laws are there in the Jianmu Universe?"

"Well..." Qingqiu couldn’t help but smile bitterly upon hearing this, "The Dao comprises three thousand, but the laws are countless, as some variant laws emerging from original laws are very rare, and some even unheard of. So it’s really hard to tally this. Brother Red Dust’s question, though straightforward, is truly tough to answer."

"Oh." Li Chen nodded, ’suddenly realizing’ and patting his head, "I actually forgot about that."

"So, have you heard of the Law of Destruction, Brother Qingqiu?" Li Chen asked casually again.

"The Law of Destruction?"

A trace of contemplation showed in Qingqiu’s eyes.

After a long time, Qingqiu shook his head, "It seems I’ve seen an introduction to this law in the classics, but I’ve never truly seen it. It’s said to be an incredibly formidable law of great attack power. Despite the classics, even the most powerful attack laws in the Sea of Laws of our Jianmu Universe seem to be no match for this law. However, there is no such law construction in the Jianmu Universe. I think such laws might exist in other universes."

Having said that, Qingqiu curiously looked at Li Chen, "Why, Brother Red Dust, are you interested in this Law of Destruction?"

"Yes, I am interested. Such a powerful attack law, I really want to witness it." Li Chen nodded, a faintly perceptible wild killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"If you want to witness it, Brother Red Dust would likely have to leave the Jianmu Universe to other universes to see it." The Demon Saint of Qingqiu laughed casually, unaware of Li Chen’s abnormality.

Li Chen smiled and turned his head.

Perhaps, he might soon witness it.

"You heard the previous words too, this Mie Xing originally came from outside the Jianmu Universe. Moreover, the aura of the Law of Destruction on him makes me suspicious." Li Chen’s calm voice resonated in the sea of consciousness.

"You mean you suspect he’s a cultivator corrupted by the Doomsday Beast Soul from the Starry Universe?" The Seven Realms Tome asked.

"No!" Li Chen shook his head and said coldly, "I suspect he is indeed a Starry Universe cultivator corrupted by the Doomsday Beast Soul!"

Two statements, yet the implications are different.

If he was merely corrupted by the Doomsday Beast Soul and not a Starry Universe cultivator, his destructive intent toward the Starry Universe might not be as intense, more fixating on ’destruction’ than ’destroying the Starry Universe.’

But if he was a native Starry Universe cultivator corrupted by the Doomsday Beast Soul, then it’s another story.

"Why are you so sure?" The Seven Realms Tome inquired.

"Haven’t you noticed his title?" Li Chen was on edge, ready to act at any moment.

"Mie Xing Dao Saint... Mie Xing..." The Seven Realms Tome’s voice also grew somber, "Could his target be not a star, but our Starry Universe?!"

"Well, only by asking him personally can we be certain." Li Chen’s voice carried a thread of killing intent.

"Let me start." Red Moon’s always calm voice revealed killing intent.

As far as Li Chen was concerned, although the Seven Realms Tome possessed many peculiar powers, it was almost depleted during the initial black qi outbreak. Without the protection of the Seven Realms Tome, Li Chen’s divine soul might have long been compromised.

Currently, Li Chen’s cultivation hasn’t even restored to the Palm Realm; tackling a late-stage Palm Source Realm cultivator is akin to seeking death.

In this situation, the one fit to strike, or rather the only one capable, is Red Moon.

"Alright!"

Li Chen did not stubbornly insist; he knew this wasn’t the time to act tough.

"They’re ready to move... what?!"

Suddenly, Li Chen’s complexion changed.

Because he saw Mie Xing Dao Saint, after withdrawing his palm from the top of Dark Water Dao Saint’s head, suddenly waved his hand in the sky.

As he waved, strands of gray light instantly rained down.

And most insidious was that these gray lights were completely masked by the confrontation of the two Dao Saints.

Moreover, when the lights fell, they skillfully bypassed Universe Power from Die Luosha and Leng Yuning, whereas pure Energy couldn’t touch the gray light at all, seemingly as though the two... weren’t in the same space.

"It’s not different spaces, but different dimensions." Li Chen’s expression turned utterly cold.

If there was still doubt before, not completely confirmable, now there’s no need to say more.

Undoubtedly, these gray lights were none other than the Soul of the Law of the World-Destroying Beast!

The Soul of the Law does not count as an entity of the Fourth Dimension, nor can it be wholly considered a soul from the Fifth Dimension, but something in between.

This ambiguous status makes it particularly hard to discern.

And once entangled, it’s like an infest of a bone stick. To date, almost half of the cultivators affected by the Doomsday Beast Soul that Li Chen has seen, have been thoroughly corrupted in spirit, becoming members of the Doomsday Beast Soul.

It seems this guy plans to convert all the strong ones here into the Doomsday Beast Souls!

"Red Moon!"

"Got it!"

With their hearts in sync, without needing to communicate, Red Moon knew what to do.

"Wind Roar!!"

"Endless Sea of Blood!!"

In an instant, from a momentum standpoint alone, the storm that erupted was more terrifying than the clash of the two Dao Saints.

And those Doomsday Beast Souls originally sneaking downward were enveloped within the two Great Divine Powers literally the moment they manifested.

With the simultaneous shrouding of the two Great Divine Powers, everyone couldn’t help but gaze in horror at the inexplicable storm blood sea emerging in the sky.

What on earth...is happening?

For some reason, hearing faint, grievous howls from that suddenly appeared storm blood sea, a chill ran down everyone’s spine.

At this moment, Mie Xing Dao Saint evidently did not foresee such a turn of events. As he perceived the ongoing annihilation of the Doomsday Beast Souls, a dangerous glint began to flicker in his eyes.
