Chapter 2044
Chen Xuan's team of three, stepping on the pale purple chaotic currents in the void, rushed headlong towards the enormous lotus-shaped nebula in the distance. The stars at the edge of the nebula were shrouded in a layer of dark mist, as if shrouded in an invisible malice, and even the surrounding light seemed somewhat sluggish.
However, Chen Xuan ultimately underestimated the true strength of this strange descendant of the void creature. Before he had even truly stepped into the southern human nebula, dark golden array patterns suddenly appeared in the void beneath his feet—warning patterns that automatically manifested when the surrounding hidden array sensed the presence of a living being.
The next moment, the void in all directions trembled violently, as if it had been torn open by an invisible giant hand.
Dark blood-red teleportation arrays unfolded one after another in the void, with crimson flames flickering at their cores, and countless figures poured out from within:
Some have three heads and six arms, their skin is covered with dark blue scales, and their fangs protrude from the corners of their mouths;
Some of them were like mist, with only a pair of blood-red eyes floating in the void;
Others carried enormous bone wings, and the black slime dripping from their claws corroded tiny black holes in the void, emitting a nauseating stench.
In just a few breaths, Chen Xuan was surrounded by hundreds of strange creatures.
"Hahaha! A mere human invader dares to trespass on the edge of our lair!" The leading, eerie creature swung its arm, which was covered in bone spurs, and its voice was like two giant rocks rubbing together, extremely grating.
"It's actually an invader from another realm! The ancestor has ordered that they must be captured alive!" Another creature opened its mouth full of bared teeth, drool dripping down, its eyes fixed on the divine and demonic aura flowing around Chen Xuan.
"His blood is so rich! If I can devour it alive, my ancestor's eternal body will surely be transformed!" The outermost misty creature let out a shrill laugh, its blood-red eyes filled with greed.
These hideous remnants of the race communicated in ancient and divine script right in front of Chen Xuan, showing no regard for the human before him and unaware that they were the very person Chen Xuan had been searching for across billions of miles.
"Master, how come these creatures are so ugly and terrifying?" Bai Li gripped Chen Xuan's clothes tightly, her small face full of vigilance, her bright eyes fixed on the monsters, her voice tinged with fear yet still stubborn.
Chen Xuan gently rubbed Bai Li's head, his fingertips glowing with a faint warmth as he soothed her. A faint smile played on his lips as he said, "They're just a group of Void Realm gods and demons; nothing to fear."
His expression remained calm as his gaze swept over the surrounding bizarre creatures, without even a furrowed brow. Seeing no stronger beings manifest, Chen Xuan instead took a step forward, his golden crimson divine power subtly circulating around him, instantly creating an invisible pressure in the void. He looked down upon the ugly alien race, his voice clear as a bell:
"Let me ask you, do you know where the woman who could cast the Snow White Lotus spell was 670,000 years ago?"
The details of that battle are clearly recorded in the marching notes of Liu Xue'er's ancestor—this is the key question he asked on this trip.
But this kind of "weak" questioning was something these strange descendants had never seen before. In their eyes, humans had always been prey to be slaughtered, how dare they "question" like this? One by one, they were instantly enraged, and dark light surged around them.
The leading battle formations suddenly merged, transforming into a gigantic monster that blotted out the sky—its body was as large as a mountain range, its surface covered with thick bone armor, and dozens of tentacles danced wildly in the void, howling as they swept towards Chen Xuan, even distorting and deforming the surrounding void.
They didn't give Chen Xuan a chance to speak again, clearly considering him as theirs for the taking.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan frowned slightly and muttered, "It seems these small fry aren't very intelligent. In that case, we'll fight our way until your higher-ups show themselves and come to talk to me!"
