Chapter 2489: Chapter 915: Upper Nether Turns to a Ruined City, Daoist Sect Arrives in the Eastern Wasteland
“A living creature!”
Facing those blood-red eyes, Luo Chen instantly recognized the enemy.
It wasn’t the common ghost creatures found in the Nether Abyss, but a living being exuding a powerful presence, not inferior to the Black King.
If it were just this, Luo Chen wouldn’t fear such an existence with his strength.
But this place was the Nether Abyss!
If a fight ensues, it would inevitably attract the attention of other powerful beings, and Luo Chen’s fate might not turn out well.
“How could there be living beings in such a desperate place?”
Luo Chen showed a look of confusion while slowly retreating, indicating his reluctance to engage the opponent.
Yet as he retreated, the enemy advanced.
Roaring waves surged forward, revealing the true form of the one with blood-red eyes.
Like a vast land, its broad and thick back was smooth overall, yet sharp and angular in detail.
Its slender neck resembled a giraffe, yet also seemed like a giant python.
Turtle-snake image?
Witnessing this, Luo Chen was taken aback.
His heart stirred, could it be…
“It’s the Xuan Turtle of the Mingyuan Lu Family!”
In an instant, Luo Chen recognized the opponent.
He also understood why such a vibrant creature existed in the lifeless Nether Abyss.
It was because the creature grew up here, and due to its environment, its transformation was incomplete, leaving the turtle and snake forms partially merged.
At this moment, the massive Xuan Turtle charged at Luo Chen with overwhelming force, its eyes filled with bloodthirsty intent.
This time, Luo Chen didn’t retreat.
He took a deep breath, raised a single palm, and pushed it forward slowly.
Boom!
As the two collided, violent energy exploded from the contact point, releasing wave after wave in all directions.
Yet these colossal waves capable of collapsing mountains seemed mere ripples before the two.
Luo Chen pressed his hand against the triangular, sharp top of the opponent’s head, unleashing terrifying power continuously from his physical body.
The Xuan Turtle was undaunted; its hard head suddenly softened, its neck flexibly circling into the air and then lunged to bite Luo Chen.
It intended to devour Luo Chen!
At that moment, Luo Chen’s aura expanded greatly.
Source Blood surged, Xuan Chen Armor clung to him, emanating an aura akin to that of the Xuan Turtle.
“How dare you behave insolently!”
The roar of an elder halted the Xuan Turtle, its mouth staying suspended in the air.
The blood-red eyes showed fear, confusion, and an awakening realization.
Suddenly!
“Woooo…”
A ghostly howl erupted.
The piercing cry nearly made Divine Souls faint.
In the next moment, black light shot from the Xuan Turtle’s head straight at Luo Chen.
Its speed was extremely fast.
Throughout this, Luo Chen seemed unaffected by the ghostly screech’s Divine Soul impact.
On his head, Ping Mountain Crown scattered a faint golden light, Xuan Chen Armor emitted a yellow aura shield, and his eyes showed the illusion of Mirror Flower, Water Moon and a Ghostly Tower.
Yet the black light was likewise undeterred, breaking through the golden light and the aura shield, reaching Luo Chen’s body, only being delayed for a moment by the illusion.
Just this moment was enough for Luo Chen to react.
“Come out!”
In the next moment, two flames emerged from Luo Chen’s Purple Mansion.
One was cyan-white, the other pure gold.
Boom!
Instantly, Luo Chen became a figure of fire.
The black light appeared terrified, retreating swiftly, avoiding him as if its life depended on it.
After casting a fearful glance at Luo Chen, it fled into the depths of darkness.
Only then did Luo Chen release a relieved breath, yet the feeling of dread lingered.
“That’s…”
Luo Chen, voice husky, asked, “Devouring Essence Beast?”
Though it lacked physical form, its emanating aura was unforgettable for Luo Chen.
It was clearly the Chang Ghost — Gao Chang once unleashed by the Ancient Demon Emperor to ravage the East Desolate Immortal World!
Its true form was a Desolate Beast variety, the Devouring Essence Beast, feeding on Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, favoring the Dao Fruits of cultivators; whether Golden Cores or Nascent Souls were its favorite food.
Countless Nascent Soul cultivators perished in this ghost’s belly.
Previously, Jin Ling who stood shoulder to shoulder with Luo Chen was swept away by this creature’s Nascent Soul, leading to his fall, with Luo Chen subsequently refining his physical body into a Substitute Puppet, saving Luo Chen from Heize Ancestor’s deadly strike.
“How did this thing end up here?”
While Luo Chen was puzzled, the Xuan Turtle pushed through the waves, approaching Luo Chen.
Its triangular head leaned towards Luo Chen, gently touching him.
The gesture was soft and affectionate, as if seeking a senior’s favor.
Luo Chen looked down, noticing the Xuan Turtle’s eyes had turned completely clear, devoid of the previous blood-red hue.
“You were controlled by the Chang Ghost to attack me unwillingly, weren’t you?”
The Xuan Turtle let out a “moo,” its tone filled with grievance.
Luo Chen reached out, rubbing its smooth head, “It’s alright, I don’t blame you. Next, you’ll have to…”
Luo Chen paused his words.
Clearly, the Ming Shui’s power of filth in the Nether Abyss was immense, making it tough for him to persist crossing it with just his Qi Power.
Furthermore, spatial rifts frequently appeared above the water, along with Heavenly Thunder strikes, even more dangerous than the abyss!
This beast, having grown up here, was unafraid of the Ming Shui’s power of filth.
Long before Luo Chen arrived, it was the best ferry beast used by Mingyuan Cultivators to cross both shores.
If he could ride on it, his journey across the Nether Abyss would be significantly more efficient, saving energy and shortening the time.
