Chapter 1489 The Terrifying Bell
Chapter 1489 The Terrifying Bell
Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Chen took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing to its optimal state.
With a flash, he soared into the air like an arrow released from a bow, flying towards the spatial rift.
Just as he was about to touch the crack, a powerful suction suddenly came, as if it wanted to swallow him whole.
However, Lu Chen was prepared. He pushed his divine energy to its limit and forcefully resisted the suction force, steadily entering the crack.
The moment Lu Chen entered the crevice, everything went black before his eyes, and the light around him vanished instantly, replaced by chaos.
The wind howled in my ears, and my body felt as if it were being drawn into an endless vortex, spinning and tumbling.
The feeling was both familiar and strange. He had experienced similar teleportation array channels before, but this time it was clearly more intense and unpredictable.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Chen suddenly felt his body lighten, and then his vision brightened. He found himself in a completely new world.
However, this place was completely different from the fairyland he had imagined.
The world before my eyes seemed unusually small and oppressive, as if the entire space was compressed into a giant crystal ball, and strange light shimmered in the sky, seemingly formed by countless tiny stars.
A thin layer of mist permeated the surroundings, making the distant scenery appear hazy and indistinct.
Lu Chen looked down and saw a clear water surface beneath his feet. Surprisingly, the water surface was as solid as a physical object, and he did not feel any sinking at all while standing on it.
With each step he took, he could feel a faint rebound force, as if reminding him that this place was unusual.
The surrounding air was heavy and stagnant, and there was a chill in the air with every breath, making one wary.
Not far away, a majestic and straight mountain rises abruptly from the ground, piercing the clouds. The mountain's surface is covered with intricate patterns, like ancient runes engraved on it, exuding a mysterious aura.
The mountaintop was shrouded in thick fog, making it difficult to see its entirety.
In addition, the entire space was in terrible condition, as if it could collapse at any moment.
Just as Lu Chen looked around, his heart suddenly tightened, and he instinctively disappeared from the spot.
However, the space where he had just been standing suddenly and without warning collapsed, becoming extremely chaotic.
"Thank goodness. If I hadn't reacted quickly, who knows what would have happened if I had been caught up in it." Lu Chen, who had regained his footing, felt his soul trembling.
To further explore a wider area, Lu Chen immediately extended his divine sense. However, his divine sense had barely extended less than a hundred meters when he immediately felt various laws of power intertwining, like a meat grinder, tearing his divine sense into countless fragments.
This scene startled Lu Chen, who quickly withdrew his divine sense.
Just then, a subtle spatial fluctuation came, and Lu Chen immediately realized that someone else had entered this space.
Without hesitation, he used his movement technique, his body instantly transforming into a blur as he flew towards the mountain.
Based on Lu Chen's guess, it should be that big man, the old man next to Gu Nanqiao, and the maid next to Gu Beichen.
After all, he had already sensed the two of them chasing after him with his divine sense. However, what puzzled Lu Chen was that Gu Nanqiao's subordinates were chasing him, perhaps because of Yao Ji. The fact that Gu Beichen's maid was also present was somewhat perplexing.
However, no matter what, Lu Chen knew that even if he was invincible among his peers, he was no match for them.
After Lu Chen left, three figures appeared near where he had just been standing. These were the three people Lu Chen had anticipated.
As soon as the three appeared, they instinctively extended their divine senses. However, their brows furrowed immediately, clearly indicating that the various laws governing this space had a strangling effect on their divine senses.
At this moment, the big man looked at Hong Yin and the old man, his brows furrowed, his eyes revealing deep worry and unease.
Although he was rugged in appearance, he wasn't stupid. He could tell that the two were not only companions, but also both at the Dao Integration Realm. If he acted rashly, he wouldn't have the upper hand. So he tentatively asked:
"Who are you? Why have you followed me here?"
At this moment, the old man transmitted his thoughts to Hong Yin:
"Don't get entangled with him. The important thing is to find Lu Chen as soon as possible. This place has been exposed, and many cultivators will arrive soon."
Hong Yin nodded slightly upon hearing this, and then the two of them tacitly slipped away.
The burly man watched the two leave with a solemn expression, secretly relieved. To be honest, he naturally didn't want to fight if he could avoid it.
Now, all he wanted was to find his older brother and the others as quickly as possible, so he changed direction and sped off towards the mountains...
At the same time, as Lu Chen gradually approached the mountain, an ancient and vicissitudes-like aura swept over him.
This aura contained countless traces of the Great Dao, which wrapped around Lu Chen's body like silk threads, causing his soul to tremble slightly.
Seeing this, Lu Chen's eyes gleamed with excitement. He knew that if he could cultivate in this mysterious place, the possibility of breaking through to the Dao Integration Realm would greatly increase.
"Could this mountain be the legendary Buzhou Mountain? Otherwise, how could it have that ancient aura?" Lu Chen wondered to himself.
Just as Lu Chen was preparing to continue his exploration, "clang...clang..." a few bell sounds suddenly came from the mountainside.
The bell's sound was deep and resonant, like a voice from the ancient wilderness, carrying boundless power that struck straight to the heart.
Each chime of the bell was like an invisible hammer, striking Lu Chen's heart heavily, making it almost impossible for him to breathe, and causing countless cracks to appear in his heart at that moment.
Lu Chen's face turned deathly pale instantly. He tried to use the Chaos Dao Life Technique to resist the sudden attack, but found that all his efforts were in vain.
The sound of the bell seemed to possess the power to steal one's soul, penetrating his defenses and reaching the depths of his soul.
"Pfft!" A mouthful of blood spurted from Lu Chen's mouth, and his body flew backward.
He managed to steady himself in mid-air, but when he landed, his fate was unknown.
And all of this happened in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately, in the moment of crisis, Lu Chen used his remaining consciousness to retrieve a leaf from the Chaos Tree in the Golden Pearl World, and then chewed it without hesitation.
In an instant, boundless vitality surged through Lu Chen's body, continuously repairing his injuries, and he soon recovered completely.
Lu Chen thought with lingering fear, "What just happened? That bell sound was terrifying. If it weren't for the Chaos Tree, I wouldn't be alive today."
The bell tolled quickly and then quickly disappeared. Once he was sure the bell wouldn't ring again, Lu Chen looked towards the mountainside. Then, with a determined heart, he took flight and headed towards the mountainside...
