Chapter 2639: Hope (1/2)

With the Rain Abbess, the Blue Sky Venerable, Gongsun Zhi, Xu Zhiping, and Huangfu Guiyi’s disappearance, the space that constantly shattered from their fighting finally gained some peace.

The energy that swept through outer space gradually settled down, and the cracked space rapidly closed up.

Very soon, the dark, cold space recovered its previous peace. The twinkling stars formed a beautiful scenery. It was enchanting.

The mountain soul quickly drifted through outer space like a ghost. It rapidly approached the Cloud Plane.

On the mountain soul, Chu Jian, Yue Chao, Yun Ziting, and Su Qi all looked in the direction of the Rain Abbess and the Blue Sky Venerable’s previous battle. They were all silent, and they were filled with many doubts.

They were Chaotic Primes, so both their vision and senses were extremely powerful. They all saw how Sha Yun and Gongsun Zhi wanted to deal with them while the Rain Abbess was fighting against the Blue Sky Venerable. Subsequently, the Rain Abbess abandoned her opponent without any hesitation to deal with Gongsun Zhi and Sha Yun. It was like she was afraid of something happening to the Martial Soul lineage.

They felt extremely puzzled over why the Rain Abbess cared for their Martial Soul lineage so much.

Based on their impression, their Martial Soul lineage had never had any prior contact with the Rain Abbess. They did not even have any connections with her.

Jian Chen was filled with doubts as well. After seeing this, he could not help but think about when he attacked the Cloudsurge Empire with the Empyrean Demon Cult. In the end, he was trapped in the Formation of Cloudsurge and Rainflood.

That time, he and the grand elder of the Empyrean Demon Cult, Cheng Ming, took away the Innate Orchid of Five Elements that the Rain Abbess had planted where she cultivated. Afterwards, he attempted to devour the Spatial Insect Emperor, which led to an accident. He almost died and ended up in the hands of the Rain Abbess.

The Rain Abbess did not blame him at all. Instead, she bestowed a fortune upon him, assisting him in refining the soul from the Spatial Insect Emperor. As a result, he gained its comprehension of the Laws of Space.

All of this happened because of a mysterious person.

Jian Chen was still not certain about this mysterious person’s identity. However, he could tell from his conversation with the Rain Abbess and her actions that this mysterious person was related to the Martial Soul lineage.

Moreover, it was also because of him that the Rain Abbess took special care of the Martial Soul lineage. This care was far, far greater than the precious Innate Orchid of Five Elements.

At this moment, Hun Zang returned to the mountain soul with Sha Yun’s corpse. He tossed the corpse to Jian Chen’s side.

The people of the Martial Soul lineage all became rather quiet as they looked at Sha Yun’s corpse. He was an expert only a step away from the Fourth Heavenly Layer of Grand Prime. Who knows how much more powerful he was than the Grand Primes from the Cloud Plane that they had killed.

In the end, Sha Yun’s corpse entered Jian Chen’s hands. It would act as nourishment for the Immortal Devouring Orchid in the future. However, Jian Chen did not take a single thing from Sha Yun’s Space Ring.

The mountain soul moved through space with great speed. The Cloud Plane grew larger and larger as it hung in outer space.

At the same time, in another region of outer space near the Cloud Plane, the Grand Primes of the Four Symbols Alliance were locked in battle against Tong Wuming, Lieyan Wuji, Zhou Zhidao, and the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak.

Their battle was extremely intense. The four experts of the Righteous Alliance completely lost the upper hand as they faced the combined efforts of the experts of the Four Symbols Alliance. They were forced into a retreat, covered in blood and heavy wounds.

The situation with the lord of the Heaven’s Link Peak was the most severe. The curse had spread into his bones and now towards his soul. As a result, even his body began to fester, enveloped by the powerful curse.

Now, he was burning the flame of his life, pouring all the life in his decaying body into the battle.
