Chapter 1381

The battle … was finally over.

That was what everyone wanted to say.

The battle hadn't lasted long, but the various waves made everyone's mood fluctuate.

The leaders of the three factions, in particular, had mixed feelings of joy and sorrow several times. Fortunately … it was all over.

After this battle, they fully realized how powerful Zi Chen was. They also finally realized that besieging wasn't suitable for everyone. If Yan Fen hadn't decisively used his token to give up an opportunity, everyone present would have died.

Zi Chen had been swallowed by the black hole, so it was unlikely that he would have survived. Although they didn't get what they wanted from Zi Chen this time, at least they killed Zi Chen. After witnessing how powerful Zi Chen was, it was enough to kill him.

After a brief moment of joy, the three factions had to face another problem: the other factions.

Many factions had gathered here because they wanted to kill Zi Chen. Although not everyone was present, it was enough to attract the attention of these cultivators.

Swoosh. Swoosh.

Rays of light flashed as the cultivators from the three factions in the distance surrounded them, forming a huge encirclement.

This time, the three factions had suffered heavy losses. Coupled with the death of the four array masters, their combat strength had been greatly reduced. If the other factions joined forces now, the three factions would definitely be in danger.

The three factions were on guard, but the other factions didn't seem to have any intention of making a move. Xue Ming glanced at Wan Xiong and the others and said indifferently, "Brother Wan, don't be too complacent."

"What do you mean?" Wan Xiong frowned as he looked at Xue Ming.

"I'm sure you know best whether Zi Chen's friends are dead or not. What if Zi Chen is lucky enough to survive?"

"Still alive? How is that possible?"

"This is the Manor Realm. Anything can happen."

Xue Ming smiled faintly and said, "Of course, Brother Wan, don't mind me. I'm just saying. I don't mean anything else."

With that, Xue Ming left.

"Hehe, if Zi Chen is really not dead, and the companions you forced into a dead end return, then there will be a good show to watch." Another leader smiled faintly and left with his people.

Everyone left one after another, leaving behind the people from the three forces. However, there was no joy from victory on their faces. Instead, there was deep worry on their faces.

Although the possibility of Zi Chen dying was very high, it was just as Xue Ming said. If … he really didn't die, they didn't die either. Or rather, they didn't all die.

"Everyone, keep a low profile in the future. Our next goal is to breakthrough." Wan Xiong muttered to himself for a moment before he indifferently said.

After that, Miao Zhendong and Yan Fen also gave the same orders to their subordinates.

It was better to be safe than sorry. Therefore, working hard to cultivate was the way to go.

…

…

Zi Chen lost the ability to resist and was brought back by the light.

A trace of cruelty flashed across the big guy's ugly face. It wanted to tear Zi Chen apart.

However, because Zi Chen no longer resisted, the speed of the beam of light retracted even faster. The big guy made a mistake in its judgment and failed to kill Zi Chen in one strike. Zi Chen's body was also dragged into the distance by the beam of light.

The spatial energy wreaked havoc in the surroundings. This energy tore apart Zi Chen's clothes and brought him to another place. Behind him, the ugly guy in human form was still chasing after him, roaring unwillingly.

The opponent's speed was very fast, but at this moment, it couldn't catch up with the speed of the light. Zi Chen looked at the opponent with a trace of disdain.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a loud sound rang out. It was the light that dragged Zi Chen into something. A huge impact rushed from the back of his head. Zi Chen's vision turned black and he fainted.

As he fainted, Zi Chen saw the ugly guy. The latter had already followed him.

At that moment, Zi Chen realized that the light that was dragging him had vanished. He cried out inwardly as his vision turned black and he immediately lost consciousness.

…

In his coma, Zi Chen felt as though thousands of huge mountains were pressing down on him, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He panted heavily, and his forehead was covered in cold sweat. In the next moment, he suddenly opened his eyes, and his pitch-black pupils gradually regained their luster.

"I'm not dead." Zi Chen looked up and looked around.

This was a spacious area, and there was nothing else in the surroundings. Even the ugly big guy from before had disappeared without a trace.

Zi Chen crawled up from the ground. He appeared to be very confused as he subconsciously scratched his head. Then, he felt a piercing pain. There was a very large bump on the back of his head.

Only then did Zi Chen recall that he had knocked into something and fainted.

He was very puzzled. With his Perfect Body, shouldn't he have been smashed into something? Why was he still knocked unconscious?

After Zi Chen turned around, he saw a tall stone monument. The stone monument was black and was three meters tall.

Where Zi Chen stood, he saw that there were no words on the stone monument. There weren't even any patterns on it. As he looked up, Zi Chen realized that the wordless stone monument was broken.

It was as though it had been shattered by a huge force. The stone monument's fracture was very irregular.

As he carefully sized it up, Zi Chen realized that the stone monument was on a high platform, and he was now on it.

In the surroundings, there was only one platform and one stone stele.

As for Zi Chen, he seemed to understand everything.

The thread that wrapped around him had pulled him here. After slamming into the stone monument, the thread disappeared.

Or rather, the thread was emitted by the stone monument.

But … where was that ugly big guy?

Why was there no trace of him?

Back then, the other party had a murderous look on its face. It probably wouldn't have let him off, but why didn't it kill him?

Zi Chen figured out some things, but he was still puzzled.

He circled the stone monument a few times but didn't find anything abnormal. Helpless, he could only walk down the high platform and walk around.

After making a small round, Zi Chen turned back and returned to the group.

He returned to the high platform and sat down around the stone monument. Then, he sat cross-legged and began to recover from his injuries.

Although he had obtained a complete victory in the previous battle, he had also suffered serious injuries.

Zi Chen sat cross-legged to heal his injuries. His cultivation technique began circulating as the purest lightning power circulated.

Behind Zi Chen, the wordless stone monument released a faint halo in the next moment. Following that, a powerful pressure was released and spread in all directions.

Zi Chen was enveloped by the pressure, but he didn't feel anything unusual.

In the distance, a pair of cold and murderous eyes stared at Zi Chen.

Zi Chen, who was recuperating, felt that the energy in his body seemed to have become very active. The efficiency of his healing had also greatly increased. Vaguely, he felt that he had reached the peak of the middle stage and seemed to be showing signs of a breakthrough.

After about a day, Zi Chen opened his eyes again. His injuries had healed.

During this time, his spiritual senses had been spread out in the distance, but he didn't find anything abnormal.

"What is this place? Is it a land of death or a cage?"

Zi Chen looked up at the gray sky. There wasn't even a basic day or night here. There was no change in time.

After recovering from his injuries, Zi Chen left the high platform and decided to look around.

A few hundred meters in front of him was a dark area. Before his injuries had healed, he stopped there. But now that his injuries were healed, he decided to go deeper.

When his spiritual senses reached there, he couldn't extend them. Zi Chen could only walk over.

"Boom!"

But as soon as he stepped into the dark area, Zi Chen heard a rumbling sound. Then, a dazzling brilliance appeared in front of him.

It was as if the darkness had turned into dawn in an instant. The dazzling brilliance made Zi Chen unable to open his eyes.

The moment he closed his eyes, Zi Chen felt a dangerous aura. He subconsciously took a step back.

"Bang!"

However, it was still too late. A powerful force directly hit his body, directly sending him flying.

He flew for nearly a hundred meters before Zi Chen fell to the ground. As soon as he landed, he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"That's …"

Zi Chen stood up again. His eyes were full of shock.

Just now, he had seen an endless amount of lightning. Those lightning bolts were the source of the dazzling light. Apart from the lightning bolts, Zi Chen had also seen that ugly big guy. The reason why he had been sent flying was because of that big guy. If he had not reacted in time, he would not have been hit by that big guy. Instead, he would have been caught by that big guy.

After standing up, Zi Chen retreated until he was in front of the high platform. Then, his eyes flashed with golden and silver lightning bolts. He used the Yin-Yang Eye again.

With the Yin-Yang Eye, Zi Chen could see through the dark area in front of him. Sure enough, after passing through there, there was a sea of lightning.

The dark area was like a light shield that blocked the sea of lightning.

And in the sea of lightning, the ugly humanoid creature was bathed in the sea of lightning. Its eyes were also staring coldly at Zi Chen.

At this moment, the two of them looked at each other. Zi Chen could not only see the murderous intent in the other's eyes, but also the fear in the other's eyes. In addition, there seemed to be another emotion.

As for the other's fear, it naturally came from the stone tablet.

However, Zi Chen looked back. Under the Yin-Yang Eye, the stone tablet was still the same. There was nothing unusual about it.

As the light in his eyes disappeared, Zi Chen's vision fell into darkness again. Then, Zi Chen had to admit that he was trapped.

That big guy was very strong. Zi Chen was no match for it.

In the next two days, Zi Chen tried to break through the sea of lightning. However, it was impossible. The big guy was waiting outside without rest. As soon as he went out, it would definitely attack him.

And after two exchanges, Zi Chen had to admit that the other had the qualifications to completely defeat him.

During these two days, Zi Chen also tried to study the stone tablet. However, it seemed to be a wordless stone tablet. There was nothing special about it.

"Am I going to be trapped here forever?"

Regarding this, Zi Chen felt like crying. This was because he could not open his corporeal space. Clearly, it was suppressed by some kind of power. And if he could not open his corporeal space, it would be even more difficult for Zi Chen to break through.

After being frustrated for several days, Zi Chen felt that he had to find a way to escape. Then, he sat down cross-legged and began to think carefully about some problems.
