Chapter 1435: You Dare to Mock Me

Long Chen and Chu Yao were rus.h.i.+ng away. Long Chen was a streak of light, with lightning wings and lightning runes on his feet raising his speed to unprecedented heights.

Under the cover of Starfall, he had pulled Chu Yao out of the range that they could be sensed in just an instant.

“Long Chen, that’s about enough. Let’s rest for a bit.” After six hours of travel, Chu Yao’s voice rang out.

Long Chen looked at her and was frightened to see her face was pale. He hastily stopped. “Are you injured?”

Chu Yao shook her head. “I’m not injured. Your thunderforce is just very uncomfortable to me. I’m not afraid of other people’s thunderforce, but yours is very difficult to bear.”

Long Chen realized the problem. His thunderforce came from the nine heavens’ tribulation lightning. Its aim was pure destruction.

As for Chu Yao, she cultivated the Life Dao. The two of them were incompatible. He immediately put away his thunderforce.

“This really is far enough. We can rest.” Long Chen pulled Chu Yao to a nearby lake. The two of them sat on the sh.o.r.e.

While running, Long Chen had left behind many misleadings tracks. Even if they were being followed, they should have a few days before they caught up.

On the way, Chu Yao had been focused on concealing their spiritual fluctuations and auras. Tracking them would be extremely difficult. The only possibility was if they spread out and searched through a large area.

But doing so would be suicide. Other than Sha Guangyan and Peng Wansheng, who else could threaten Long Chen?

If the two of them split up, then if they faced Long Chen and Chu Yao alone, they would be in an extremely dangerous position. So Long Chen felt that as long as those two weren’t stupid, they wouldn’t chase.

In other words, the two of them were essentially safe. This battlefield was so huge, that looking for the two of them would be like searching for a needle in an ocean.

“I’m sorry. Both my thunderforce and flame energy are incompatible with your wood energy,” said Long Chen.

The only good thing was that he wasn’t a lightning cultivator, nor was he a flame cultivator. Otherwise, his aura really would be difficult for Chu Yao to get close to.

Now that Long Chen willed it, all traces of his lightning and flame energy vanished. That lifted the pressure on Chu Yao.

“Why be so polite? After being apart for so long, have you started feeling unfamiliar with me?” Chu Yao smiled lightly.

“How could that be possible? I’m your future husband. How could we be unfamiliar with each other?” Long Chen also smiled. He was filled with grat.i.tude inside.

With Chu Yao’s talent, position, and beauty, she had countless suitors. But she declared him to be her husband and refused all those people. The only one she allowed inside her heart was him.

Chu Yao leaned against Long Chen’s shoulder. She looked at the calm lake. In this moment, she felt blessed.

“Did you manage to get the saber? Were there any problems?” After a moment, Chu Yao suddenly asked.

The black saber was absolutely terrifying. She was naturally a bit worried that it would cause trouble for Long Chen.

“Originally, I was just testing it, but I didn’t expect to really get it with a certain person’s a.s.sistance. Chu Yao, guess who I saw.” Long Chen instantly became excited, almost looking like a child.

“What would make you this excited? Don’t tell me that you saw the Sovereign?” Chu Yao laughed.

“How did you know?” Long Chen was startled.

Now Chu Yao was startled. “You… you really saw the Sovereign?”

Long Chen told Chu Yao about what he had gone through in that mysterious s.p.a.ce. In truth, he was trying to keep his expression calm, but there was simply no way to control himself.

Hearing Long Chen’s story, Chu Yao was completely shocked. She held his hand, amazed. “Long Chen, you’re amazing! Even a Sovereign has high hopes for you! You’ll definitely become a world-shaking figure.”

Long Chen shook his head. “I think it’s unlikely. I don’t have that kind of ambition, nor do I have such a grand goal. I’m not like the Sovereigns who protected this world with their full power. In my heart, I just need to protect you and the others. As for the rest of the world, they had nothing to do with me.”

Long Chen was full of respect and reverence for the Sovereigns. That was because he would never be able to be like them. They had been completely selfless in their defense of the continent.

He had never thought to be such a grand person. All he wanted to do was protect what he had. He was selfish. He was unable to be like the Sovereigns.

Although Sovereign Yun Shang didn’t tell him how he had died, he trusted that G.o.d-like figures like them were capable of existing forever. There had to be some kind of secret behind their deaths.

That secret was very likely closely related to the Martial Heaven Continent. For the Martial Heaven Continent, the Sovereigns had paid far too much.
