Chapter 3271: Chapter 3291: Fear of Death is a Common Human Sentiment!
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s entire face contorted due to the severe pain, yet his heart was filled with excitement.
Only after Lin Chen gained control of the Tao Ding could he drive it out of his own Sea of Knowledge, then would Lin Chen be able to emerge and possibly take him to escape.
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch hugged his head with both hands, his expression pained as he collapsed on the ground.
He lay prone on the ground, a picture of sorrow and despair.
The pain was real, but the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s actions were meant to hide his face in darkness, all to facilitate the Tao Ding’s undetected departure from his Sea of Knowledge.
Hope Lin Chen keeps it down a bit!
If Lord Charm Erosion is alerted, then everything is doomed.
In this scene and at this time, even if Lord Charm Erosion saw him, he would probably just think he had collapsed emotionally out of despair.
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch didn’t have to wait long; he just felt a sudden pain at the center of his forehead, a fine radiance of golden light burst forth, and the shrunken Tao Ding had already rushed out through the channel leading to his Sea of Knowledge, then hovered in the shadow below his head.
At this moment, the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s mind was both excited and terrified; excited that the Tao Ding had finally come out and Lin Chen was free, and terrified that there was a fluctuation of spiritual power in that instant.
Would Lord Charm Erosion have detected it?
At this moment, the heart of the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch was lodged in his throat, time seemed to slow to a crawl, and fear enveloped his entire being, making his body stiffen with terror.
One second, another second, and yet another second...
No one appeared!
The rigid body of the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch gradually regained its suppleness, and his hanging heart slowly settled.
"Immortal Monarch, what should we do now?"
The voice of Lin Chen echoed in the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s mind, to which the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch whispered back near the Tao Ding in an almost inaudible voice: "Everything is shrouded, even with space supernatural ability we may not be able to get away, but once you are exposed, you will inevitably draw Lord Charm Erosion, and there are countless demons in the surroundings..."
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch was very worried. Previously, all he thought about was quickly finding a way for Lin Chen to come out and take him to escape, but now that Lin Chen had emerged, the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch found himself considering even more.
Lord Charm Erosion had said that even an Immortal Emperor wouldn’t sense his presence, let alone know where this place is. From these words, it’s highly probable that this place is under a special sealed state.
If so, even if Lin Chen came out, it doesn’t necessarily mean he could get out!
Space supernatural powers, though powerful and mystic, are not always applicable in any situation. For instance, across the Immortal Demon Channel of the Immortal and Demon Worlds, even the mightiest space powerhouses are utterly unable to perform spatial crossing.
If Lin Chen shows himself and the crossing fails, then Lin Chen is surely doomed.
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch’s heart was torn with conflict; selfishly, he hoped Lin Chen would take the risk, as there might be a chance of success.
But this was tantamount to gambling with Lin Chen’s life, and if the gamble failed, then Lin Chen would also lose his life.
If he doesn’t let him risk it and Lin Chen chooses to hide out quietly, he is very likely to find an opportunity to escape.
"Lin Chen, if your divine powers don’t work once you appear, then you too will die here. Why not find a place to hide? They don’t know you exist. As long as you’re quiet, there’s a good chance you’ll survive," the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch said, his tone slightly uncertain, after all, who doesn’t want to stay alive in such circumstances.
That he could suppress his own desire to live and fear of death to say such a thing was already quite remarkable.
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Thank you, Immortal Monarch, for your concern, but how can I selfishly run away alone? Let’s take a gamble together. Don’t worry, I may not be good at fighting, but I excel at escaping."
Upon hearing Lin Chen’s words, the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch relaxed and felt somewhat ashamed at the same time.
It seems that I still fear death and deep down, I was hoping that Lin Chen would take the risk with me.
Although I said Lin Chen could disregard me and escape alone, if Lin Chen truly fled by himself, I probably would have felt very disappointed.
"What’s the situation outside now?"
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch answered, "It should be night by now; the sky is completely dark, and it’s very quiet. But I am certain the moment we make a move, Lord Charm Erosion will appear immediately."
Lin Chen asked, "Are there any buildings of note around us?"
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch softly described the surrounding area, especially the precise location of the purple crystal pillar and all the scenes he had witnessed.
"Alright, then next, let’s take a gamble. In a moment, as I make my appearance, I will take you into the Tao Ding. I will then create a huge commotion to attract the demons’ attention..."
After Lin Chen finished his instructions, he paused and asked in a serious tone, "Are you ready?"
The Seven-colored Immortal Monarch gave a grunt of affirmation: "Ready."
To the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch now, a phoenix in distress is not as good as a chicken, no more than a wretched life, what else is there to be ready for?
Anyway, whether to live or die, we might as well go through it once.
The Tao Ding quietly rose in the darkness, and then suddenly beneath it, a black vortex appeared, radiance fell, instantly enveloping the Seven-colored Immortal Monarch, sucking him into the Tao Ding.
Simultaneously, Lin Chen’s figure appeared in midair. He grabbed the rapidly shrinking Tao Ding and took a step forward.
In the instant Lin Chen stepped forward, a terrifying aura fluctuated in the air around him, and a formidable presence immediately enveloped the entire mountain cave, pressing towards Lin Chen with overwhelming and astonishing speed, like the pressure of mountains and seas.
"Bang!"
The air burst into an explosion, the cave entrance was silently shattered, and the entire space underwent a slight distortion, yet Lin Chen was one step faster, disappearing from the spot instantly.
The figure of Lord Charm Erosion appeared in midair in an instant, her face as cold as frost, and her eyes revealing an intimidating chill.
"The space here is sealed; I would like to see how you can escape!"
Lord Charm Erosion’s perception unfurled wildly, extending instantly, covering a radius of millions of miles. In the blink of an eye, she had already sensed Lin Chen’s figure.
Lord Charm Erosion’s gaze shifted, revealing anger, and her figure instantly transformed into a streak of purple light, speeding towards the direction of the purple crystal pillar.
Indeed, Lin Chen’s target was the towering purple crystal pillar that reached up to Heaven and Earth!
In the blink of an eye, taking advantage of the moment Lord Charm Erosion was distracted, Lin Chen used the Carefree Walk to instantly cross thousands of miles, directly appearing above the purple crystal pillar.
The sudden appearance of Lin Chen startled the demons on the ground ahead, resembling purple stakes, who all lifted their heads towards Lin Chen in the air. The quicker responders were already bursting out of the ground, charging towards Lin Chen.
Without pausing in his steps, Lin Chen took another step out, and at the same time, with a wave of his hand, many dark Explosive Talismans flew from his grip, heading towards the multitude of demons below.
"Boom!"
