Chapter 1532: Swallow the Heavens Devour the Earth

“What are you thinking? Don’t tell me you’re going to jump off a cliff?”

Long Chen stood on the precipice of a cliff, a bottomless pit below him. He was looking down absent-mindedly. Evilmoon finally spoke.

Long Chen had been brought here by Evilmoon to escape their encirclement. It had been over two hours, and Long Chen had simply been standing there like a stone statue. Even Evilmoon became curious.

“Evilmoon, if I’m surrounded by powerful enemies again, don’t save me.” Looking at the pit below him, Long Chen made his resolve.

“Are you crazy? If I didn’t bring you away, you’d have definitely died,” said Evilmoon. It didn’t know if Long Chen had gone crazy to say such a brainless thing.

Long Chen shook his head. “You don’t understand. Right now, I’m growing too dependent on your power. I am losing confidence in myself, and that will affect my Dao-heart. I want to become an expert, a true expert. I can’t depend on others. I can only rely on myself. With you present, my sense of danger will become slow, and fleeing as soon as I encounter experts will be a blow to my confidence.”

“Is that a joke? Those people were two major realms above you and had divine items. Without me, what are you going to use to fight them?” demanded Evilmoon.

“You wouldn’t understand. To sum it up, I am fated to be courting death all the time. If I don’t court death now, death will creep up on even faster in the future. Ever since I started cultivating the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art, my fate was practically set in stone. Right now, I am a caterpillar, and if I want to become a b.u.t.terfly, I have to endure the pain of the coc.o.o.n. During this time, no one can help, and if anyone does, it would just be harming me. If a caterpillar does not go through the struggle of the coc.o.o.n, it will never become a b.u.t.terfly. If someone cuts the coc.o.o.n and lets the caterpillar out of it, without having gone through that struggle, it won’t know how to fly. In the end, the caterpillar will simply die, never able to spread its wings. I am the same, so starting today, I definitely won’t run. Even if I am in desperate straits, don’t save me,” said Long Chen.

“It seems like there’s a bit of logic in your words, but if you die, you’ll lose everything. How will you become a b.u.t.terfly then?” asked Evilmoon.

“It’s because my goals are very big. If I am unable to even handle the danger before me, how will I face the even greater dangers in the future? After having fled these times, I can clearly sense the power of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art dropping. It’s also forming a kind of rejection to me,” said Long Chen with a grave expression. He truly sensed the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art’s power weakening.

Furthermore, he himself was growing indecisive. He no longer had his absolute confidence to face the whole world. He had to find that confidence again, and the first step was to cut off all paths of retreat and give up his dependence on Evilmoon.

Of course, he wouldn’t be so foolish as to not use its divine power. It was simply that he wouldn’t choose to run. Either he fought to the death or killed his opponent. He had to maintain that sharpness to press forward regardless.

“Fine, I suppose we can count as having fought shoulder to shoulder. I will respect your dignity,” said Evilmoon.

“Thank you. Speaking of which, have you really not heard of the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art?” asked Long Chen.

“No, I’ve never heard of it… but…” Evilmoon seemed to be thinking.

“But what?” asked Long Chen hastily.

“But… f.u.c.k, it seems I’m missing a few of my memories. I’ve remembered something, but also can’t remember it. It was definitely done by that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Yun Shang!” cursed Evilmoon. It broke into curses for Sovereign Yun Shang once more.

After cursing for a while, its anger was vented a bit, and it said, “Your cultivation technique is very unorthodox. Such a cultivation technique is unique. It doesn’t seem like the cultivation technique of the human race, nor of the Magical Beast race, Xuan Beast race, Blood race, Barbarian race, Ghost race, Devil race, Spirit race… f.u.c.k, my head hurts. d.a.m.nit, there are even more memories missing than I thought! That b.a.s.t.a.r.d Yun Shang!”

Evilmoon once more broke into curses after listing hundreds of different races.

“Evilmoon, you actually know this many races? Can you explain them to me-”

“Don’t ask me about those! I’m missing a portion of my memories, and what you’re asking me is in that missing piece. If I try to forcibly recall them, it hurts,” shouted Evilmoon painfully.

Long Chen could only shut his mouth when it came to this. After a while, Evilmoon’s pain faded, but Long Chen didn’t bring it up again.

However, for Evilmoon to list so many races shocked Long Chen. He hadn’t expected there to be so many races in this world.

Even in the Martial Heaven Continent, what he had seen was just the tiniest corner of it. This world was truly enormous.

Although Long Chen didn’t know whether Evilmoon even had a head or brain, it seemed mentioning this would give it a headache regardless, so he didn’t bring it up.
