Chapter 1949

Bounty portraits of Zi Chen had been posted in every corner of the Zhanwu Continent. Whether it was the indigenous people or the invading aliens, for the sake of this generous reward, they were all using sensors to find Zi Chen.

It was not an exaggeration to say that Zi Chen was now a public enemy.

Along the way, Zi Chen's trail was discovered again and again, and he was besieged time and time again. Fortunately, his physical body had become stronger this time, and his injuries were not as serious as before. Coupled with his intention to escape, he was able to persevere.

The situation was the same when he arrived at the Sixth Mainland. After successfully escaping from a group of Heaven-Defying cultivators, before Zi Chen could completely conceal himself, he was encountered again.

"Zi Chen is here. I see him."

"I found Zi Chen. He's here."

"Haha, I finally found Zi Chen. I'm going to get my reward."

In the dense forest, many excited cries rang out, and then one cultivator after another flew towards Zi Chen.

They knew that they were too weak. Even if they faced a heavily injured Zi Chen, they still had no chance of winning. So, they just followed without making a move. This included the alien races.

Zi Chen turned around and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He saw that there were many cultivators following behind him. Their eyes were shining, staring at him as if he was a rare treasure.

The sound of rushing wind came from behind. The alien race Heaven-Defying cultivators had caught up, and their powerful auras enveloped the world.

Cursing in his heart, Zi Chen turned around and left.

"Zi Chen, if you have the ability, fight me, Lao Li. Don't run away like a mouse."

As soon as Zi Chen's figure disappeared, a loud roar rang out. A powerful Heaven-Defying cultivator flew over. His name was Lao Li, and he had been chasing Zi Chen from the Seventh Mainland. He was the leader of the Seventh Mainland's Heaven-Defying cultivators and was not weak.

Seeing Zi Chen disappear again, his face became extremely gloomy. He had been chasing Zi Chen for several months, but he could not catch him.

"Cowardly scoundrel."

His cold voice resounded throughout the world.

"Lao Li, I'll remember you. After I recover from my injuries, I'll look for you."

A moment later, Zi Chen's voice was heard.

The corner of Lao Li's mouth twitched as he recalled the power Zi Chen had displayed. The corner of Lao Li's eyes couldn't help but twitch as he said, "You won't have a chance to recover from your injuries."

With everyone out to search for Zi Chen, it seemed like there was no chance for Zi Chen to find a quiet place to recuperate.

On the other side, Lao Li had lost track of Zi Chen, but soon, someone would send him a new location. While Lao Li led a group of Heaven-Defying experts from the Seventh Mainland in pursuit, there were also Heaven-Defying experts from the Sixth Mainland pursuing Zi Chen.

Time passed as they fought, pursued, and escaped. Zi Chen's injuries became more and more serious.

After entering the Sixth Mainland, he had been traveling through dense forests and mountain ranges. Normally, he would rarely see humans here, but now, he could see one every few kilometers.

When these people saw Zi Chen, they were all excited.

"Pfft."

Coughing up blood again, Zi Chen entered a mountain range, followed by many humans. Because his injuries were too serious, Zi Chen's speed was not very fast. A group of cultivators followed behind him.

He was already covered in wounds and looked very miserable. Among the cultivators chasing behind him, there were many Heaven Realm cultivators, but they did not dare to attack Zi Chen.

A towering mountain appeared in front of Zi Chen's eyes. After seeing the mountain, Zi Chen's eyes shone brightly. Using the last bit of strength in his body, he accelerated towards the mountain.

"Swoosh."

As soon as he landed on the mountain, Zi Chen's figure disappeared.

"Why is he gone?"

Everyone watched as Zi Chen disappeared, and they were slightly stunned.

"Chase!"

Then, the others chased after him.

However, just like Zi Chen, they disappeared as soon as they landed on the mountain peak.

In the blink of an eye, the thousands of cultivators disappeared from the mountain.

…

…

This was Zi Chen's second time here. The last time, he came here with the Thunder Sacred Beast to get the Heart of Thunder Wings. This was a chaotic space-time, containing many spatial worlds. The flow of time was also different. It was full of dangers, and he had to be careful not to get lost in this space.

After arriving at this place, the Heavenly Thunder Wings automatically took control of Zi Chen's body and brought him through this chaotic space. The feeling of walking on flat ground made him feel as if he had returned home.

While moving forward, Zi Chen could occasionally hear cries of surprise and pain coming from behind him. Of course, there were also some cursing voices.

Zi Chen was indifferent to this. His expression was indifferent, without any pity, and he allowed the Heavenly Thunderwings to carry him forward.

Traveling through the space-time, Zi Chen felt the temperature around him getting higher and higher. It was as if the entire space was being roasted by flames.

Finally, he came to a world filled with flames. The violent flames emitted scorching heat, like roaring fire dragons.

This was Zi Chen's final destination. This place was filled with foreign flames that could threaten even the Heavenly Realm.

Last time, he had refined his weapon here. This time, other than upgrading the Divine Dragon Bow and Divine Dragon Arrow, Zi Chen wanted to take away all the foreign flames here.

Looking at the violent sea of flames in front of him, Zi Chen took a deep breath. He mobilized the little amount of heaven-defying energy in his body and slowly walked into the sea of flames.

This was the foreign flames, containing violent energy. Even someone of Zi Chen's level had to be careful when entering.

Waves of heaven-defying energy surrounded his body, forming a defense. Zi Chen walked towards the center of the sea of flames. However, after just a few hundred meters, the scorching heat was almost unbearable for Zi Chen.

With no other choice, Zi Chen could only choose to stop and take out the Universal Origin Cauldron.

The Universal Origin Cauldron bobbed up and down in the sea of flames, releasing an ancient aura. Previously, Zi Chen had communicated with Cauldron Spirit. After the cauldron appeared, Cauldron Spirit's voice sounded, "Give me the materials."

The materials for this upgrade were all from Defiants of the Heavens. They were also of the Defiants of the Heavens.

Zi Chen casually took out pieces of glowing crystals. These crystals were the remains of Defiants of the Heavens after they died. In truth, when a cultivator reached the Heavenly Realm, their body would become a pure soul.

Once they died, their energy before they died would become the attribute of the crystals they transformed into after death.

Along the way, Zi Chen had obtained quite a lot of heaven-grade materials. As he did not know how to forge Heaven-grade weapons, he had no choice but to take out all these materials. As for what attribute crystals to use for the upgrade, Cauldron Spirit was much more knowledgeable than him.

Apart from that, Zi Chen also took out some Cauldron Spirits that had long been destroyed. These Cauldron Spirits would provide nourishment for the weapons after they were upgraded into Heaven-grade weapons, helping the weapons to grow smoothly.

At this moment, Zi Chen had chosen to take out everything because he was going to leave everything to Cauldron Spirit. What he needed to do was recuperate from his injuries, condense even more heaven-defying energy, and charge out of the battlefield.

The cauldron was opened. All kinds of materials floated above the cauldron. They were being burned by the extraterrestrial fire over and over again, expelling impurities. As for the Dragon God's Bow and Dragon God's Arrow, they were also being fully calcined by the heavenly fire.

… …

… …

For the sake of the bountiful rewards, those cultivators disregarded everything else and flew towards the mountain peak. One after another, their figures disappeared.

Soon after, the Defiants led by Laurie arrived. When they discovered the abnormality of the mountain peak, they stopped and stared at the mountain peak.

After a while, one of the Defiants beside Laurie said, "It's the entrance to the chaotic spacetime."

Laurie nodded with a somewhat solemn expression. The other Defiants also had strange expressions on their faces when they heard that.

The chaotic spacetime contained many kinds of spacetime. There were time distortions, space distortions, and extremely powerful exotic beasts. It could be said that it was full of dangers.

Most importantly, once one got lost in it, one would never be able to get out.

To a heavenly realm expert, this chaotic spacetime was one of the few threats.

"I didn't expect that Zi Chen would be so lucky to enter a chaotic spacetime."

The Defiants all sighed. Such an unexplored chaotic spacetime was a dangerous place for everyone, so no one wanted to enter.

Laurie slightly frowned. He felt that Zi Chen entering such a place was very tricky.

He was very unwilling to give up just like that. After all, Zi Chen was seriously injured. Now was the best time to kill him. Once he recovered, it would be very troublesome to injure him again.

After hesitating for a long while, Laurie finally decided to send Defiants in to see if they could kill Zi Chen.

Of course, before that, Laurie had to select some Defiants who were proficient in the dao of space. Not only would they have a higher chance of survival, they would also not get lost easily. They might even be able to find the correct path and lead the party in.

Laurie selected a total of four Defiants who were proficient in the dao of space among the dozens of Defiants. The four of them entered the chaotic spacetime with a great mission in mind.

…

…

After leaving everything to the Cauldron Spirit, Zi Chen's figure flashed and returned to his own world. He once again arrived at the enormous Origin Sea.

Looking at the boundless Origin Sea and sensing the endless and inexhaustible energy in it, any heavenly realm expert would be laughing in their sleep. However, at this moment, Zi Chen was wearing a wry smile on his face.

The enormous amount of origin energy he possessed was indeed enviable. However, to convert all of it into Defiant Energy was undoubtedly a huge project that could not be completed in a short time.

Now that the Defiants were eyeing him covetously and he had become the public enemy, what he needed the most was time.

Zi Chen shook his head, cast away the distracting thoughts in his mind, and sat cross-legged. Before he could condense the new Defiant Energy, the first thing he had to do was to heal his injuries.

As his body had been strengthened again, his injuries were not as serious as the last time. Zi Chen spent more than ten days to expel the remnant Defiant Energy from his injuries and heal them.
