Chapter 2471 - 2472: Supreme Lifeform

Chapter 2471: Chapter 2472: Supreme Lifeform

Because Lin Chen’s own strength was relatively strong, his injuries healed quickly, and not long after, he was completely back to normal, able to get out of bed and walk around. Moreover, after the treatment by the Immortal Physician, he could clearly feel that his strength had further improved compared to before.

However, compared to the skills of the Immortal Physician, he still had a long way to go.

Lin Chen clenched his fists tightly, remembering the incident that happened that day, burning with anger, and determined that one day he would take revenge and definitely eliminate the Supreme of Heaven and Earth.

Seeing that Lin Chen had gradually returned to normal, the Immortal Physician’s heart also found peace.

"Young man, you should have recovered by now, right?"

Lin Chen cupped his hands in salute.

"That’s right, Senior. Thanks to your careful care these days, I’ve completely recovered, and I don’t know what kind of Divine Skills you used that made me feel my skills have improved more than before."

"Young man, come with me. Don’t you have many questions you want to ask me? Now is the time to clear up all the confusion in your heart."

After saying this, the old man turned and left the place. Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, then followed the old man inside. After a short while, the two entered a cave.

"I don’t know why Senior brought me to this place."

The expression of the Immortal Physician changed upon entering the cave, his kindly smile from before vanished, replaced by a stern and rigid face. He turned around, shook his head, and sighed.

"Child, haven’t you always wanted to know why I disappeared all these years? And where I went after I disappeared?"

Lin Chen had indeed been perplexed by this question for many years. Now that he was about to get an answer, he was unexpectedly a bit nervous, so he swallowed and looked at the old man in front of him.

"Decades ago, a battle was fought that turned the heavens and the earth upside down. My battle with Unlimited Heavenly Venerate on Tianshan lasted for days and nights without a clear victor. To the outside world, the reason for our battle seemed to be to vie for the title of the number one under heaven."

Lin Chen had always thought so too, and according to objective analysis, the root cause of their battle was indeed such, as both of their skills and reputations were equally matched at the time.

Some people said the Immortal Physician was stronger, while others said Unlimited Heavenly Venerate would prevail in a few days. But who was really stronger was not known, because they had never confronted each other directly.

Later, their showdown on Tianshan became the greatest event on the continent.

At that time, everyone of importance on the continent went to watch, and because the momentum was so great, many people on Tianshan fought each other to witness the battle.

The duel did not disappoint those who watched. It was celebrated as the most magnificent and earth-shattering battle in thousands of years.

But what was the actual outcome of that battle? It remains a mystery, as only a massive explosion was known to occur on Tianshan after days of fighting.

The powerful and fierce shockwave claimed many observers as casualties, and after the explosion, both great combatants were nowhere to be found.

As to whether the Immortal Physician was greater or if Unlimited Heavenly Venerate was stronger, it remains unknown.

"People always gossip behind our backs, saying that our battle was for such worldly reasons."

Lin Chen became intrigued upon hearing this, thinking that there must be a more important reason for their battle.

Upon reflection, it seemed logical. Both were top-tier powerhouses, with nothing to gain from fighting for mere worldly fame, and at their age, they had long become indifferent to fame and fortune.

It suggested that the duel between the two elderly figures had more serious reasons unknown to others.

"So, Senior, when you say your battle was not about vying for first place?"

The elderly man nodded solemnly.

"That’s right. The grand battle we engaged in was not to win the title but for the legendary Supreme Being."

Lin Chen was especially puzzled upon hearing this. He had never heard of the Supreme Being and did not know what it was.

"What is this Supreme Being, that it prompted such a massive battle between you two?"

If their skills were at such a level, they would not engage in conflict over trivial fame and fortune, as it would undermine their status.

However, for two top-tier powerhouses to go to war over this so-called Supreme Being, it proved that there was definitely a significant secret hidden behind it.

"This is a long story."

Although Lin Chen did not yet understand the truth behind everything, from the tone and attitude of the old man, he could tell that the secret behind all this was far from simple and much more terrifying than he imagined.

"Child, I am about to reveal to you the most crucial and simultaneously the most terrifying secret hidden on this continent."

Lin Chen appeared a bit tense. From the old man’s tone and demeanor, he already knew that what was hidden behind all this was anything but simple.

But why would such an important secret be told to him, and what did it have to do with him?

Only now did Lin Chen realize that what was hidden behind this was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

"Tens of thousands of years ago, a top-tier demon lived on this continent, possessing great power and savagery. The demon’s power and terror were enough to disregard all rules, and he was determined to destroy the entire continent, even to dominate all realms."

Lin Chen gasped upon hearing this.

That a person dared to think of dominating the entire realm with such arrogance - just how terrifying must he be?

But why had he never heard of this demon’s existence?

"If such a demon truly existed on the continent back then, why have we never heard of it, and why are there no records in the history books?"

The old man grinned coldly upon hearing this.

"Do you know why there are no records? Because the truth was completely erased by others."
