Chapter 4501 ck Lotus, Yan Xu me


    That seed in the heavenly gate was a lotus seed, and it looked extremely simr to the lotus seed in Long Chen’s primal chaos space.


    However, Long Chen’s lotus seed was golden, and this one was pitch-ck with ck qi swirling around it. Even through space, he could feel the vast primal chaos aura around it.


    Long Chen found that the pir of light shooting out of the gate to the Esoteric Spirit world behind him had grown brighter after this ck seed appeared. Primal chaos qi was gathering from every world gate, and the seed inside the heavenly gate was receiving the nourishment of that energy. It started to germinate, and its form quickly changed. When its first leaf burst out, Long Chen could see what that was.


    “It really is a lotus!”


    Having personally witnessed the Devil Eye Water Lily’s growth, Long Chen couldn’t help but draw parallels to the lotus leaf before him. However, the lotus leaf’s aura was millions of times stronger.


    Despite the immense distance that separated him from the solitary leaf, it exuded a formidable pressure that sent shivers down Long Chen’s spine.


    When Long Chen looked at that ck lotus seed, countless eyes throughout the world also looked at it.


    Some were terrified, and others were excited. After the first leaf appeared, its growth elerated, and that single leaf grew to the point that it could cover an entire prefecture.


    Once this leaf reached a certain size, it stopped growing, and the second leaf appeared. When it emerged, the world started to shake, as it forcibly sucked the primal chaos qi in the world.


    Seeing this scene, countless sects started to panic and hastily shut down their formations, especially their primal chaos spirit gathering formations. They found that the primal chaos qi within their spirit stones was undergoing forcible extraction.


    Following that, the third, fourth, and fifth leaves appeared. The growth of every heaven-shrouding leaf sucked this world’s primal chaos qi away.


    When the ninth leaf appeared, the world seemed to return to the point before the various world gates opened. There was no longer any primal chaos qi around.


    The ninth leaf fully absorbed the primal chaos qi from the entire world in just a few breaths, and this terrified countless people.


    A ck flower bud had appeared on it. When it emerged, there was no further change in this world as the primal chaos qi had been sucked away.


    Just then, the various world gates shook. The Esoteric Spirit World’s gate started to crumble, forming a giant channel.


    Long Chen observed with his naked eye as exceptionally pure primal chaos qi coalesced into an overwhelming torrent surging out from that channel.


    “Not good. I have to return to the academy.”


    Long Chen tried to use Xia Chen’s transportation formation here, only to find that it had lost effect.


    Without thinking about it, he knew that it had to be connected to the ck lotus. Long Chen then summoned his Kunpeng wings and transformed into a streak of light, heading toward the High Firmament Academy.


    “I’m a bit slower…”


    Long Chen’s heart shook. The fact that his speed was slower meant that the world’sws were silently changing.


    The mysterious ck lotus was affecting the entire world. Its nine leaves shrouded the heavens, and the bud unfolded in a gradual blooming process, seemingly in preparation to open the gate to the ninth heaven. However, this gate gave off an ominous aura more reminiscent of a gate to hell.


    The lotus consumed the entire world’s primal chaos qi. It was definitely the most terrifying existence that Long Chen had ever encountered in this lifetime.


    As the lotus slowly bloomed, the enormous heavenly gate started to twist. Upon closer inspection, Long Chen found that the opening of this gate was a bit strange.


    Long Chen passed by countless sects and cities and saw many experts staring at the sky in horror. They felt iparably minuscule in front of that ck lotus, their hearts filled with terror and unease.


    When they saw Long Chen fly by, those with sharp eyes recognized the golden Kunpeng wings to be Long Chen’s. After all, Long Chen was the most famous existence within the Darklight Heaven—this generation’s Sage King who had defeated the first awakened Heavenly Doyen.


    The Darklight Heaven was now teeming with formidable monsters, rumored to be able to easily y Long Chen. However, those rumors couldn’t be trusted.


    After all, hadn’t Netherdragon Tianzhao also said the same thing, only to be beaten by Long Chen? No matter how powerful those monsters were, as long as they didn’t fight Long Chen, Long Chen was still viewed as an undefeatable battle god.


    Just as Long Chen was flying through the air, the ck lotus’s bud slowly opened, and ck mes appeared inside of it.


    “What?!”


    Long Chen’s expressionpletely changed when he saw those ck mes.


    “That me is…!”


    Long Chen couldn’t believe it. It was Yan Xu me, the strongest me of the nine heavens and tennds, and it was also one of Long Chen’s mortal enemies.


    Long Chen had fought against Yan Xu’s sons and even in his ninth son. Thus, Long Chen was extremely sensitive toward Yan Xu me.


    “Is the ck lotus rted to Yan Xu?” muttered Long Chen. He suddenly had a bad feeling.


    Yan Xu me was the strongest me of the nine heavens and tennds, an existence capable of devouring all the world’s mes. Long Chen had to be careful.


    “Big Brother Long Chen, it would be best if I could devour that me,” Huo Linger expressed with excitement, her voice resonating.


    Long Chen felt a stir in his heart. The Yan Xu me was renowned as the strongest, capable of devouring all other mes. Yet, Huo Linger possessed the ability to consume any me as well. The question lingered: who was truly stronger?


    A sudden smile crossed Long Chen’s face. As expected, the concept of evesting supremacy was nonexistent. All things had their own banes. Perhaps Huo Linger was the bane of the Yan Xu me? That wasn’t beyond the realm of possibility.


    With Huo Linger by his side, Long Chen felt a surge of confidence. Now, as he gazed at the formidable me in the sky, his vignce transformed into greed.


    If Huo Linger could absorb it, then who cared about Doyens? Who cared about Saints? They would all be juniors in front of him.


    Huo Linger expressed her desire to devour the me, signifying her confidence in possessing the necessary power. The inclination was right; all shecked was the opportunity.


    Hourster, Long Chen returned to the High Firmament Academy, and the ck lotus had already fully bloomed.


    The lotus rotated, its leaves trembling as primal chaos qi surged toward it. ck mes erupted from the lotus, causing the entire world to contort and twist.


    BOOM!


    Suddenly, the ck lotus sted the gate apart, leaving everyone dumbfounded. If the gate was blown apart, how could they enter?


    The moment the gate exploded, the ck lotus also vanished and left behind an enormous ck vortex in its stead.


    At this moment, Long Chen saw many figures rushing toward that vortex like bolts of lightning.


    “Could it be…?” Long Chen was stunned.


    “Yes. That is the gate.”


    Just then, Bai Letian silently appeared by Long Chen’s side. The Dragonblood Legion, the academy’s disciples, and the Battle God Pce’s disciples walked out of the gate of the academy.


    “Move out. Enter the heavenly gate and see the original form of this world. The key to changing this world lies within. Children, I wish you good fortune!” Bai Letian looked at Long Chen, Bai Shishi, Bai Xiaole, and the others with a hint of reluctance.


    Long Chen knew that his reluctance stemmed from the knowledge that once they entered, many of them might not ever return.


    However, they were cultivators. After stepping onto this path, they could no longer retreat. Even if they had to face death, they had to see the real world.


    “Move out!”


    Long Chen cupped his fists toward Bai Letian. With a wave of his hand, he led everyone toward that enormous vortex.
