Chapter 2306 Peril, Immortality
Even Chen Qingyuan and the others clearly felt an overwhelming sense of oppression, their souls trembled slightly, and their hearts pounded with unease.
Shen Wuyun opened his eyes wide and stared intently at the crack in the starry sky in the distance. Unaware that his hands, hidden under his sleeves, had clenched into fists, his lips were tightly closed, and he was extremely cold and aloof.
Something extraordinary is about to appear in the world!
A sharp glint flashed in Luo Liuyin's cold, deep eyes. Her heartstrings tightened, her hands clenched, and she was filled with curiosity about the unknown thing that was about to appear.
"As expected, it was his method."
As the rift in the starry sky expanded further, an extraordinary ancient aura emanated from it. Chen Qingyuan was particularly familiar with this fluctuation of energy.
The speculation was indeed correct; it is indeed inextricably linked to Mu Cangyan.
What is he going to do?
Pairs of eyes gazed at the fragmented, picturesque starry sky, and the tense, oppressive atmosphere reached its peak.
A large cloud of black mist billowed out from the void rift, forming a vast, dark mass.
In just over ten breaths, the thick black fog completely enveloped the shattered starry sky, leaving no corner untouched.
It was pitch black, unfathomable.
Not to mention ordinary cultivators, even Chen Qingyuan and the others could not see the scenery in the fog.
The mortal eye is obstructed, and divine sense and secret techniques are unusable.
"There must be something terrifying hidden inside!"
Although Chen Qingyuan couldn't see through the strange and thick black mist, he trusted his own judgment and remained extremely tense and solemn.
An Xiruo created a barrier, but cracks gradually appeared.
She tried to reinforce the barrier, but it had no real effect.
"Safety first, retreat!"
The unease grew stronger, and An Xiruo immediately made a decision, flicking her sleeve and speaking the truth.
Shua——Hua La——
As An Xiruo cast her spell and waved her hand, everyone who was near the shattered starry sky was transferred to a relatively safe area.
Many people didn't realize what was going on and looked a bit confused.
"What does the Empress mean by this?"
Those with even a little ability, knowing that this was An Xiruo's doing, were full of doubt, not understanding the meaning behind it.
A few breaths later, the barrier of the Emperor's Dao rules exploded with a loud 'boom'.
A violent and terrifying pressure roared out again, several times stronger than before.
Furthermore, the black mist spread out at an extremely rapid speed, occupying even more areas.
Chen Qingyuan and An Xiruo exchanged a quick glance. They didn't need much communication; a single look was enough for them to understand each other.
The two were on high alert and ready to strike immediately.
Chen Qingyuan formed a hand seal, and the vast scene of the Samsara Sea emerged behind him, with all the laws of heaven and earth under his control.
An Xiruo stood on a beautiful red lotus, mobilized all her profound energy, and unleashed the Imperial Song.
Creak! Thump! Thump!
A new barrier was thus formed, blocking the impact at the critical moment.
Doom!
The surging power of the Dao constantly crashed against the barrier that Chen Qingyuan and An Xiruo had painstakingly constructed. The resounding booms were like billions of divine thunderbolts roaring, tearing apart billions of miles of void, disrupting order, and causing turmoil throughout the universe.
After a period of stalemate, the black mist stopped spreading and its menacing power gradually subsided.
Only after confirming that things were temporarily calm did Chen Qingyuan and An Xiruo dare to stop.
Even with the two guards stationed there, many areas were still affected.
The hundred or so life-bearing stars that were close together burst apart like fireworks, scattering countless rays of light.
Every ray of sunset is a lament for life.
Faced with absolute power, the weak don't even have the right to struggle or howl; their life is fleeting, as if they had never existed in this world.
Glancing at the life star that had exploded into dust, a hint of pity and sorrow, as well as a trace of self-reproach, appeared on An Xiruo's usually icy face.
"What on earth is this thing?!"
Shen Wuyun had fought Chen Qingyuan before and knew how ridiculously strong he was. However, even when Chen Qingyuan and An Xiruo joined forces, they were almost unable to withstand the residual power of this turmoil.
It was so terrifying, it sent chills down my spine.
Not long ago, Shen Wuyun thought he had gained a certain understanding of Shenzhou. Now it seems that the information he had previously learned was merely the tip of the iceberg of Shenzhou's territory.
"Old Shen, why don't you risk your life and find out what's going on?"
Chen Qingyuan glanced at Shen Wuyun and sent a telepathic message.
Having just set up the barrier, Chen Qingyuan moved his position, now more than a million miles away from Shen Wuyun. To them, that distance was merely a step away, practically within arm's reach.
Hearing Chen Qingyuan's words, Shen Wuyun stopped overthinking. He turned his head, looked at Chen Qingyuan, frowned, and hesitated to speak.
Old Shen?
Our relationship is far from that point!
The form of address is a minor matter; don't dwell on it.
The key point is that Chen Qingyuan's suggestion put Shen Wuyun in danger, which was clearly digging a pit, and he was openly encouraging him.
"Why don't you go?"
Shen Wuyun had a cold face, and his antennae were twitching rapidly.
Chen Qingyuan truthfully replied, "The danger is too high; I value my life."
Shen Wuyun's face darkened: "Don't I value my life?"
"As the saying goes, the greater the danger, the greater the opportunity. You're seeking a higher realm, right? Now is a great opportunity. As long as you're alive, you'll surely reach a higher level."
Chen Qingyuan's words sounded as if he were considering the issue from Shen Wuyun's perspective, offering sincere advice.
"Bullshit."
Shen Wuyun's face darkened; he didn't believe a single word Chen Qingyuan said.
Based on the current situation, stepping into the black fog is almost certainly a death sentence.
Even emperors face a great risk of falling from grace.
This terrifying scene was something Shen Wuyun had never witnessed before. Had he known the situation in Shenzhou was so complex, he most likely would never have set foot there.
It's too dangerous outside; the Vast Ocean Realm is much safer.
Looking back on his time in the Vast Ocean Realm, Shen Wuyun swept everything aside, truly invincible in the world, carefree and doing whatever he wanted.
However, after arriving in China, he faced numerous limitations, and his worldview began to show clear signs of collapse.
After exchanging a few words with Chen Qingyuan, Shen Wuyun's psychological pressure eased considerably: "Should we just let things develop as they are?"
Chen Qingyuan responded remotely, "What can we do?"
We don't yet know Mu Cangyan's specific plans, so we can only wait and see.
Furthermore, looking across the vast land of China, apart from Emperor Qiheng who is hiding in the Zangheng Forbidden Zone, the only beings qualified to directly confront Mu Cangyan are Emperor Taiwei and Zhixi.
Unknown rules flowed within the black mist, completely altering the order of this region and further influencing the adjacent star field and even the entire universe.
"Eternal life!"
A hoarse voice, tinged with the vicissitudes of time, emerged from the depths of the shattered starry sky.
These two words seem to contain boundless magic, penetrating everything in the world and reaching the very depths of the souls of all living beings, arousing their infinite desire for immortality.
