Chapter 1422: Illusion Formation

Long Chen learned from the Queen Ant that they were originally Magical Beasts from the Dark Forest. They had been under the Dark Forest’s rule.

However, the Dark Forest’s Magical Beasts were violent, and the compet.i.tion between them was a fierce slaughter. They had only accidentally fallen into this world because they had been hunted down.

As a result, they had flourished in this world and never returned to the Dark Forest. They told Long Chen that within the Dark Forest, all Magical Beasts had to listen to the leaders, or they would be killed.

This place was like a paradise outside their original home. The tree demons couldn’t enter this region, and other Magical Beasts didn’t possess the power to kill them.

They had been here for over thirteen hundred years. They were local hegemons and very familiar with this world.

Some of the Silverwing Heavenly King Ants were always out scouting. They also went out to see the situation in other minor worlds and if there were more resources there.

Long Chen looked at the gra.s.s map in his hand. It was about as useful as gra.s.s. Even with the directions of the Queen Ant, he had difficulty understanding anything about it.

There was one particular location that he wanted to go to. Apparently, that was a place of chaos, most likely the core of this battlefield and a place a Sovereign had fought.

Following the map, Long Chen came to a sad conclusion: he was lost. He could only blindly look around.

On his way, he encountered quite a few people. He killed all the Corrupt experts he encountered, and as for the few from the ancient family alliance, he ignored them.

Suddenly, surging waves of pressure came from ahead. A violent and evil aura appeared, along with raging resentment.

Long Chen hastily rushed forward, only to see a region of chaos. Mist shrouded everything inside this s.p.a.ce.

Lightning, wind, and rain would appear randomly, sometimes alone and sometimes together. Then the wild weather would suddenly vanish, replaced by a wonderland of flowing streams, graceful pavilions, and immortal music.

Then the wonderland was shattered by a mournful wail. Mountains of corpses and rivers of blood appeared, like h.e.l.l on earth.

There was someone in the river of blood, crazily struggling to survive. It was like he was on the verge of death, simply trying to grasp a single strand of hope but he couldn’t grab it. That scene was chilling.

Long Chen’s expression was grave. He sensed an extremely terrifying aura from the mist. Whatever was inside, this place was filled with danger.

He looked around. Some people were also standing before the mist and staring at it in shock.

Long Chen stood there for a long time, examining it. However, he was unable to find any pattern to the changing scene. This was a region of chaos. Unable to see through it, Long Chen took a deep breath and walked straight in.

“That person…”

“He’s the Xuantian Dao Sect’s Long Chen.”

The few people watching the mist but not daring to advance all recognized Long Chen.

They were powerful rank eight Celestials, but sensing the mortal danger from the mist, they didn’t dare to enter.

“Hmph, that d.a.m.nable Heaven-Seizer. He should have died a long time ago. He’s getting off too easy by dying here.”

Although Long Chen had already proven he wasn’t a Heaven-Seizer, under the secret urging of several powers, everyone ‘knew’ that Long Chen was a berserk Heaven-Seizer.

One person told ten, and ten told a hundred. Practically, everyone had perceived Long Chen as a Heaven-Seizer, but he had simply hidden himself very well. Without exposing any flaws, no one could do anything to him for now.

Although they had no proof, the ‘fact’ that he was a Heaven-Seizer was silently acknowledged by all, especially the people who belonged to the opposing factions. They didn’t doubt it at all.

Long Chen suddenly vanished. Lightning runes appeared on his feet, and he appeared beside the ancient family expert who had been mocking him.

The ancient family expert was appalled and hastily circulated his Heavenly Dao energy to resist. But Long Chen was too fast, and his neck was caught.

Long Chen held him like holding a chicken. He dragged that rank eight Celestial toward the mist.

“You’re so envious of me? Then come with me.” Long Chen quickly reached the border of the mist. The ancient family expert was completely terrified, but Long Chen’s berserk energy had completely sealed his spiritual yuan, and even his Heavenly Dao energy was cut off from him. Unable to use any power to resist, he could only watch as Long Chen dragged him into the mist.

The other experts were all shocked, but they also blessed their luck. Fortunately, their mouths were tighter, and although they had thought the same thing as this person, they hadn’t said it.

An old teaching said that disaster always originated from the mouth. This particular expert was using his life to demonstrate it.
