Long Chen's mind became dazed. Suddenly, he found himself atop a lotus plant, enormous enough to stretch open the sky, with all the stars beneath its petals.
Long Chen stood atop the lotus flower, as if standing in the eternal river, watching the river of stars flow and the passage of time, like a deity independent of the world.
Long Chen stood among the flower stamens, peering through the gaps in the petals to look into the distance. The outer edge of the galaxy was endless darkness, growing deeper and darker, so dark it was terrifying.
And in that endless darkness, it seemed as if countless pairs of eyes were watching him. At that moment, all the pores on Long Chen's body exploded.
Long Chen had seen this scene before. Although it wasn't exactly the same, it was strikingly similar: looking at the universe from the perspective of a dragon clan powerhouse.
Now Long Chen saw it again. He possessed himself and looked down; below was a dark abyss, impossible to see to the bottom.
Long Chen could see the green lotus rooted in endless darkness, but couldn't see what was happening below. Just as Long Chen was focused on what lay below, a voice suddenly rang out, nearly startling him out of his wits.
"You're here!"
Long Chen shuddered, feeling his heart pounding out. He quickly turned his head and noticed that there was another person on top of the lotus.
It was a woman, her back to him, her long hair flowing to her waist, her white robes fluttering. Though it was just a silhouette, her peerless grace still captivated countless people.
When he saw the woman's departing figure, Long Chen shuddered all over. That figure was all too familiar to him. Long Chen had obtained the Great Brahma Heaven Scripture and had seen her several times.
"I'm here!" Long Chen said.
But for some reason, what should have been a calm response instead choked Long Chen's voice choked with emotion, his heart aching, and tears nearly welled up in his eyes.
"You still came. I knew it—the hatred in your heart will force you to awaken it." As she spoke, the woman sighed and slowly turned around.
The woman was stunningly beautiful, her skin as white as jade, and her eyes as clear as autumn water, like pure gemstones, filled with endless warmth and compassion. She looked at Long Chen, and at that moment, he could no longer hold back his tears, which slowly streamed down.
It was her who appeared before Long Chen several times, and every time he saw her, he felt endless sorrow.
The woman looked at Long Chen, her beautiful eyes filled with endless compassion. She gracefully stepped forward to Long Chen, her jade hand gently caressing his cheek, a lovely curve curling at the corner of her mouth:
"You're still so stubborn. Even though you're no longer the same as before, your gaze has never changed."
Long Chen's mouth opened, wanting to say something, but when he opened his mouth, his nose was full of bitterness, his heart full of unwillingness, tears bursting like rivers, unable to utter a single word.
Long Chen could see her face clearly, but couldn't feel the warmth of her palm. He knew she and he were not in the same time and space, but looking at her made him feel endless warmth.
But this warmth made his heart ache unbearably. This warm feeling was just a memory—a memory that has long since faded away will never return.
This beautiful woman is gentle and kind; just one glance at her makes you resolve to protect her forever, as if guarding the flawless pure land in your heart.
Long Chen looked at her, as if wanting to imprint her forever in his memory. But for some reason, every time he saw her, he could recognize her. Yet after she left, no matter how much he tried to remember, he couldn't recall her appearance.
The woman gazed at Long Chen with deep affection. Her beautiful eyes were full of tenderness, and suddenly, the whole lotus trembled.
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, space split open. A sharp sword pierced through the woman's back, emerging from her chest. The moment the sword passed through her body, it instantly transformed into a strange horn. On that horn, countless vertical pupils appeared. When the upright pupils opened, evil black energy instantly enveloped the woman's entire body.
"No..."
At that moment, Long Chen's long hair stood on end, murderous intent soaring to the sky. The sudden turn of events made Long Chen rush behind the woman as if driven mad.
Behind the woman, a figure instantly merged into the darkness. As she merged into the darkness, Long Chen's face twisted with rage as he let out a thunderous roar:
"Great Brahma Heaven!"
At that moment, Long Chen's killing intent surged to the sky, runes swirling around him, blood energy exploding through the void. At that moment, He instantly fell into madness.
He suddenly understood—it was the Great Brahma who killed that woman. Everything here had happened in history, and that woman was the Dan Emperor. All his memories of the Dan Emperor belonged to her.
"Xinran!"
Long Chen suddenly let out a thunderous roar. He didn't even know who the name was, but he shouted it out loud.
He immediately lunged at the Dan Emperor, whose body was shrouded in black mist, but he held her empty-handed; she was only a shadow, no physical form.
The Pill Emperor looked at Long Chen's twisted face, his eyes twisted with ferocity. Her eyes were filled with sorrow. She cupped Long Chen's face with both hands, her cherry lips moving slightly as she spoke, but Long Chen couldn't hear a single word.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the woman vanished. At that moment, Long Chen's head buzzed violently. He roared toward the sky, his chilling killing intent sweeping across all worlds.
The green lotus beneath Long Chen's feet rapidly expanded under the influence of his killing intent, engulfing in endless flames.
"Rumble... The
star river ignited, the universe exploded, and endless destructive power surged.
With a loud explosion, the blue lotus exploded, and the entire world was instantly destroyed. Even Long Chen himself was blasted into nothingness.
"Whew."
The scene before his eyes vanished, and Long Chen's figure flickered. He returned to the stone platform, now holding his arm, her face full of shock.
At this moment, veins bulged on Long Chen's forehead, and beneath his ferocious expression, it was almost impossible to see his original appearance. Faced with such a figure, Yu Qingxuan was terrified, and beside him, Lu Chengkong turned pale and trembled all over. The killing intent of Long Chen, which had condensed into tangible form, made him stiffen all over, unable to move. He had never seen such a terrifying killing intent before.
"Long Chen, what's wrong?" Yu Qingxuan looked at Long Chen and said in a trembling voice.
After a long time, Long Chen's expression gradually recovered, but the murderous intent in his heart could not be diminished. He took a deep breath and forced a faint smile and said,
"I'm fine."
However, as soon as he spoke, even he was startled, his voice slightly hoarse, Though words were comforting, every word and every voice carried a terrifying killing intent and an endless will to destroy them, making one's soul tremble.
