The blood-red lotus in Long Chen's large hand exploded on Ye Ming's chest, blooming like a flower of death, giving Ye Ming no chance to dodge.
Ye Ming was shattered by the ghost ship's anchor and shattered the dark prison, pulled by a mysterious force, suffering backlash. At this moment, Long Chen seized the opportunity and struck down with a single blow.
In that instant, Ye Ming felt a terrifying threat of death. His keen intuition told him that Long Chen's strike had previously deceived his senses—it was a deadly technique.
"Buzz"
Now it was too late to dodge, and Ye Ming's hands shattered. Before he could form hand seals, a light appeared on his brow, and a tiny figure appeared—his primordial spirit, forming seals for his true body.
Hundreds of chains extended from Ye Ming's back, plunging into the endless darkness. At that moment, Long Chen's World-Destroying Fire Lotus exploded in front of his chest.
With a loud "bang,"
Long Chen pierced Ye Ming's chest with a palm. At the same time, the chains behind Ye Ming shattered into dust, blood spraying wildly as he was sent flying.
Ye Ming was shocked. He had just activated the phenomenon and shot out hundreds of chains, channeling his power in his chest to transfer Long Chen's power into the vision behind him.
But what he didn't expect was that the invincible dark power hadn't completely devoured Long Chen's power—at most, it had only reduced him by thirty percent.
The remaining power struck his chest, severely injuring him. If the anomaly hadn't reduced Long Chen's strength by thirty percent, he would probably have died. Even if he barely managed to preserve his primordial spirit, his physical body would inevitably be destroyed.
Whether in his previous life or this one, he had never seen such a bizarre power. This power was actually beyond the scope devoured by dark energy.
A trace of fear flashed in Ye Ming's eyes as he rapidly retreated. He was scared—if he had been careless, he would have died here.
He never dreamed that Long Chen had mastered a power that even the dark energy couldn't devour. His vision had shattered, and if he kept holding on, he might be slain.
"Trying to escape?"
Long Chen snorted coldly, thunder wings trembling behind him. He was determined to finish this guy off completely. Although Long Chen's situation was grim, he believed that as long as he gritted his teeth and held out without giving Ye Ming a chance to catch his breath, he would surely be able to kill him.
"Long Chen, come up quickly."
On the ghost ship, Mo Nian's shout echoed, but Mo Nian's figure was nowhere to be seen. There was a trace of anxiety in Mo Nian's voice.
Long Chen glanced at Ye Ming, who was severely injured and fleeing, and, furious, swung his iron fist. Once again, luck had taken effect, and when he was about to kill Zhao Ritian, it was the same—accidents always happened.
Long Chen knew that if Mo Nian hadn't had something important, he definitely wouldn't have called out to him in such a hurry.
"Ye Ming, next time I'll take your life again."
Gritting his teeth, Long Chen sped off, chasing after the ghost ship. At this moment, the ship was already speeding off into the distance, and Long Chen couldn't catch up.
"Whoosh"
Long Chen reached out with his large hand and grabbed the hanging anchor. Long Chen was prepared, and sure enough, as he grabbed the anchor, strange visions flashed through his mind, but he ignored them and climbed up with both hands.
The ship's anchor stretched tens of thousands of li. As Long Chen climbed rapidly, he moved extremely slowly, and the closer he got to the ghost ship, the more terrifying the spatial turbulence became—it was no longer as easy as before.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the ship's anchor rapidly contracted, pulling Long Chen and flying swiftly toward the ghost ship. It was unclear whether someone had put away the anchor.
Long Chen felt his body racing rapidly through the current, the howling spatial turbulence like flying knives, slicing through his body with intense pain. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have been able to withstand such terrifying power.
"Bang!"
Finally, Long Chen flew onto the ghost ship. At some point, a layer of light appeared on the ship. Long Chen had pierced through the barrier, as if crashing into a mountain. Long Chen was so struck that stars appeared before his eyes, and he nearly spat blood.
Long Chen hadn't yet fully assessed the surroundings when a biting fierce gale shot toward him. The wind was fierce and fierce, delivering a fatal blow.
"Boom!"
Long Chen didn't have time to think and summoned the Demon Moon Furnace. With a loud explosion, golden light flew everywhere, and Long Chen's body trembled violently, rolling like a gourd rolling far away.
Long Chen looked up and saw that the attacker was none other than Di Feng. At this moment, the phenomenon behind Di Feng spread out, imperial might surged, clearly intending to ambush Long Chen.
"A tiger fallen to the plains is bullied by dogs, and you, Di Feng, dare to ambush me?" Long Chen was furious. This Di Feng was his most disgusting enemy. If it weren't for Mo Nian, Long Chen would have taken him down long ago.
"Long Chen, don't pay attention to that dog. Come over here quickly."
Mo Nian's voice came from afar. Only then did Long Chen see Mo Nian, Nangong Zuiyue, Beitang Rushuang, and the man in white being surrounded and attacked.
The attackers were none other than Feng Fei, Zhao Ritian, Yu Qingxuan, and Di Feng. The man in white, dressed in white, was as white as snow, his long sword like a rainbow. With every strike, he sliced through the void, forcing Feng Fei to retreat repeatedly.
"Clang"
Yu Qingxuan's Night Furnace fell, but was repelled by Mo Nian's longbow. For some reason, Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang also joined the battle circle, attacked by Zhao Ritian and the others.
Not only them, but dozens of other powerful figures had joined the camp. These few dozen had unknown backgrounds but were extremely powerful, surrounding Mo Nian and the others in a perilous situation.
Long Chen immediately saw behind the man in white a huge portal. The door was tightly shut, but divine light shone through, its fluctuations growing more intense, as if it might open at any moment.
Long Chen immediately understood that this man in white might know something and was competing to be among the first to enter the gate, which was why he was besieged by Feng Fei and the others.
"I'm here!"
Long Chen shouted, charging forward with the Demon Moon Furnace in hand. Three powerful figures blocked Long Chen's way, but all were knocked away by the furnace. Di Feng tried to stop him, but Mo Nian shot an arrow, forcing him back.
"Boom!" Long Chen's
Demon Moon Furnace crashed into the Heavenly Moon Furnace. Two pill furnaces roared with a deafening roar. Long Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, but the Heavenly Night Furnace was also pushed back by the Demon Moon Furnace, allowing Long Chen to successfully break into the core.
"You finally came. Let's go."
The man in white nodded, seemingly waiting for Long Chen. With a horizontal slash of his sword, the void was torn open by a huge gap, surrounding everyone.
"Boom boom boom...
Feng Fei and the others' attacks were instantly blocked by some mysterious force. The white-robed man's sword seemed to carry a kind of space-time law, and all their attacks were deflected.
"Not good!"
Zhao Ritian's expression changed instantly. He swung his fist fiercely, but couldn't break the sword light, making him cry out in frustration.
"Buzz"
At that moment, the portal opened, and Long Chen felt his body lighten. The scene before his eyes changed—he finally saw himself insideOn a huge ship.
Although Long Chen had previously boarded the giant ship, the bow was shrouded in darkness, and the sight of the large ship was obscured. Now, he finally saw it—it was an ancient vessel.
It was not a flying vessel; it looked just like an ordinary sailboat sailing on the vast sea. The only thing that was truly astonishing was its enormous size—tens of thousands of miles. It was a giant ship.
"There's actually someone here?"
Nangong Zuiyue exclaimed in surprise, because she noticed a figure appear ahead, and soon more and more people appeared.
These were people dressed in ancient attire—men and women, old and young—busy on the boat, sometimes chatting and working together.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, everyone's attention was drawn to a scene. They saw thousands of people pulling ropes and raising the sails.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared before them carrying wooden buckets. Mo Nian hurriedly tried to avoid them, but as they turned, one of them suddenly screamed, slipped, and was about to fall.
"Be careful!"
Mo Nian reached out to support the person, but his hand suddenly missed air. To his shock, he realized his hand had actually passed through the person's body.
"Thud!"
The man collapsed, causing the wooden barrel to lose its balance and collapse to the ground. A rich aroma of liquor hit the air, and it seemed the barrel contained fine wine.
One of them flew into a rage, drew a whip, and struck the fallen man more than ten times, leaving him bloody and mangled, screaming and wailing before the man stopped.
They hurriedly fetched water and washed the splints. They walked back and forth, but their movements moved over everyone's bodies—a scene that was truly bizarre.
"Everyone, this ghost ship was the one that Emperor Yunshang intercepted years ago. Now, as time passes, it has reappeared.
I originally thought this ghost ship was waiting for me, but I found that all the karma was in chaos.
Perhaps it was all arranged by the Great Emperor. This ghost ship traveled between the past and the future, and its secrets had never been revealed.
Even the Great Emperor kept silent about it. My spatial sword spell harnessed the power of the ghost ship and could withstand them for an hour.
In an hour, they'll come in too, so let's split up and explore the ghost ship.
No one knows the secret of the ghost ship. The images you see are merely fragments of the ship's memories. Standing in different positions, you will see different scenes.
So, what you can see and gain, whether it is auspicious or inauspicious, depends entirely on your own fate. The man in white said.
"Thank you, brother. Then I, Mo Nian, won't hold back. I'm most interested in the unknown. Time is tight, so I'll be leaving now." Mo Nian cupped his fists toward the man in white and walked forward.
But Mo Nian only took one step before mysteriously disappearing from everyone's view, startling everyone.
"Time here is chaotic. He took a step forward, but his time was different from ours. So, once we separated, we would appear in different times and spaces. Unless we reached the stern of the ship, no one could see the other." The man in white explained.
Nangong Zuiyue and Beitang Rushuang nodded. It seemed it was impossible for the two of them to travel together here. They exchanged greetings, then glanced at Long Chen and nodded to each other. The two women walked forward, and the two disappeared.
Long Chen cupped his fists to the man in white and was about to walk forward, but the man in white spoke up:
"Brother Long, please wait."
