Chapter 1415 (2/2)
Right now, he was willing this empty state of mind to grasp some of the remnants of the ancient battle that had been fought here .
Originally, he had just been testing an extremely brazen thought . This kind of thinking was completely crazy . The only reason why he was trying it was because he was experimenting with the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art .
He hadn’t expected to see some hope of success from this test . But right now, he couldn’t think about that . He had to take the att.i.tude of an indifferent spectator . Not trying to see nor hear anything, he could only let it come naturally .
The voices grew clearer . He heard the sounds of weapons whistling through the air . He heard the wails of strange beasts . He also heard the sound of sharp blades piercing flesh . But he still maintained this steady state of mind .
These were scars left behind from that ancient time . They had been imprinted in the Heavenly Daos, and the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art was currently seizing them .
Once the imprint was seized, it would vanish . Once he grasped it, it would cease to exist . So this kind of opportunity would only come once . If he missed it, there would be no do-overs .
He listened to the voices, but he didn’t pay any meticulous attention to any of them .
A blurry scene appeared before his eyes, but he still couldn’t look . In fact, he intentionally didn’t look for fear of being attracted by anything he saw . The slightest disturbance in his mind would cause all this to vanish .
The scene slowly grew clearer . Long Chen had gotten used to this state, and he began to look at the battle .
Countless strange creatures were present . There were beasts that looked like apes but had lizard-like tails . Some were like leopards, but they had three heads and a pair of wings .
There were also human-shaped creatures . They had a pair of bat-like wings and two horns coming out of their heads . They had fangs protruding out of their mouths, and their bodies were covered in scales .
“Those are devil creatures . ” Long Chen recognized those creatures from their appearance .
As the scene grew clearer, he began to sense those creatures’ auras . That further proved that his guess was correct .
One of the devil creatures charged right at him . Its clawed hand stabbed through his head, but he still didn’t move .
Black blood splashed . A ray of Sword Qi slashed through the air, killing the devil creature . Long Chen was shocked to find that these devil creatures were practically all on the level of eleventh rank Magical Beasts . But this one ray of Sword Qi killed hundreds and thousands of them .
He didn’t dare to look at the master of this sword . He had to maintain a steady state of mind . He couldn’t be drawn in by any details .
The army of devil beasts collapsed, and he finally saw an army of human experts slaughtering their way through them .
The shocking thing was that these human experts all had nine flowers revolving behind them . They were all rank nine Celestials .
Long Chen sat on the ground, not moving . He could now feel his own existence in this world .
He was sitting in the middle of the battlefield like a specter, calmly watching the battle .
Suddenly, roaring shook the sky . The sky split open as a huge claw descended from above the clouds .
The claw was like a mountain . The world shook as it fell . Those human experts were appalled and attacked it with full power .
Yet, that claw still fell, destroying the land . Those powerful human experts were all killed by this one claw . Not even one survived .
Long Chen couldn’t help being shocked . What kind of monster was that? How could it be so huge? The world couldn’t even fit it . Just a single claw from it was able to kill so many human experts .
The claw rose from the ground, and a burst of lava flew into the air, forming a river .
“Was this the origin of the lava river?” Long Chen instantly thought of the lava river that still existed here .
The sky began to crumble . It was like the world couldn’t bear the power contained in the claw and was about to explode .
This was different from its first attack . Divine light was erupting from the claw, and divine runes spread . This time, the power was even more terrifying than its first attack .
Just as it felt like the world would crumble from this attack, a golden light shot out . Long Chen couldn’t see what that light was .
However, when it smashed into the claw, the entire world crumbled away . Long Chen seemed to hear the sound of a star exploding, but then everything vanished .
His eyes flew open, and he took a deep breath . His back was covered in cold sweat, and he was involuntarily s.h.i.+vering .
The instant those two powers had collided, he had felt like his soul would be torn apart . It was like that power was so terrifying that it was impossible to bear witness to it even through the river of time .
One attack caused heaven and earth to crumble . One attack caused stars to explode . Just what kind of terrifying power was that? It had completely surpa.s.sed his imagination .
“That level is too high . There’s no way for me to even touch something like that . I should switch locations . ” Long Chen shook his head and left .
