Chapter 2018

Ji Wei and the others circled around the lava and advanced carefully.

A Saint had appeared here. There might be a second one. They had to be careful.

Time went back to when Zi Chen had fallen into the giant mouth. As a spectator, Black Dragon had already noticed that Zi Chen was speeding up and was a little strange.

His body sank quickly as if there was a giant rock tied to his body. The heavy force, along with the suction and the Saint's pressure made Zi Chen know that there was no way he could escape, so he chose to save Qing Feng.

As for Eric, he was of a different race. Zi Chen naturally would not save him.

After entering the lava mouth, Zi Chen did not touch the lava. Instead, he kept falling as if he had entered a strange space.

"Haha, after I devour the two of you, I might be able to leave." The Saint's voice sounded again, sounding very excited.

Zi Chen heard the words "I'm God". As he fell, his expression immediately changed.

Above Zi Chen's head, Eric, who was also falling, had already fainted. It was unknown whether he was dead or alive.

He was the unluckiest. After exploding his Heavenly Weapon, the terrifying power almost completely enveloped him. It looked like he was about to commit suicide.

As he fell, the Saint's pressure grew stronger and stronger. It was accompanied by a suffocating aura.

Hum.

Before Zi Chen could turn around to see what was below, something suddenly appeared beside him.

It was an ancient scabbard. Zi Chen's Sword Drawing Technique had come from.

This scabbard had always been with Zi Chen. It used to be Zi Chen's trump card, but as he entered the Heaven Realm, the scabbard lost its use.

All the Heavenly Blades that Zi Chen had could not be compatible with this scabbard. The two seemed to be incompatible.

At this moment, the scabbard appeared out of control. After it appeared, the scabbard released a beam of energy that enveloped Zi Chen's body. Then, it forced Zi Chen to change direction.

Zi Chen only felt a blur in front of his eyes before his body landed on the ground. The light barrier formed by the scabbard had yet to be removed, but the pressure from the surroundings caused one's heart to palpitate.

"Bang."

Before Zi Chen could check his surroundings, he heard a loud noise. Raising his head to look at the source of the noise, Zi Chen saw Eric's body floating in the air, motionless.

On his body, waves of energy appeared from within his body and fell downwards.

Suddenly shaking his head, Zi Chen looked through the light shield of the scabbard and looked around. This was an independent space. This space was completely sealed off, and it was very dark.

Looking around, a faint red light flashed from time to time, adding a sense of mystery and oppression to this space.

"Dong." "Dong."

As he gradually got used to it, a heavy vibration was transmitted into Zi Chen's mind.

This vibration had a strange rhythm, like that of a beating heart. Its frequency was gradually changing, until it finally matched the frequency of Zi Chen's heartbeat.

That thumping sound was like the beating of his heart.

This space was very strange. It constantly twisted, and Zi Chen could not see through it. He could not see what this place looked like. All he could see was darkness.

At the same time, this strange rhythm seemed to be filled with an indescribable temptation. It pushed Zi Chen forward, as if he was trying to find the source of this sound.

As Zi Chen moved forward, the sound of the heartbeat became faster and faster.

"Where is that Saint? Where is Eric?"

Zi Chen was confused because he realized that he could not see through this dark space. He could not even see Eric, who he had been able to see earlier.

He was certain that he was completely awake, but he felt as if he had become blind.

He tried to release energy and use the golden light to illuminate his surroundings, but it was useless. After the golden light passed through the light shield of the scabbard, it was absorbed by the darkness and could not illuminate his surroundings.

At that moment, Zi Chen felt as if he had lost all his senses. The only thing he could hear was the beating of his heart, which was getting faster and faster.

Zi Chen thought that he was awake, but in reality, he was in a half-awake state. His thoughts were normal, but all his actions were subconscious. He did not listen to orders at all as he foolishly walked forward.

"Hum."

The scabbard started to vibrate, and the light that covered Zi Chen's body became brighter. Rays of light spread through the light shield.

The dark surroundings gradually became a bit brighter. Taking advantage of this light, Zi Chen looked ahead.

He saw a huge blood-red sphere that looked like magma. The sphere was contracting and expanding, and it made thumping sounds that sounded like a beating heart.

Every time the sphere shrank and expanded, there would be some blood-colored fire-like energy spreading in all directions.

Seeing this strange scene, Zi Chen was a little curious. His consciousness had reconnected with his body and he stopped.

After that, he saw the full appearance of the sphere. His pupils suddenly shrank, because it was not a sphere at all, but a real heart. It was very large in size, but at that moment, it was floating there alone, beating powerfully.

"Where is the Saint?"

Zi Chen was completely awake. He looked around.

At that moment, a huge face suddenly appeared on the surface of the beating heart. The face rushed directly toward Zi Chen. As it rushed forward, it opened its mouth as if to swallow Zi Chen.

It was the Saint.

Zi Chen's expression changed drastically, and his body subconsciously retreated.

However, the speed at which he retreated was very slow. His consciousness reconnected with his body, but it was still not very coherent. The face rushed up almost instantly.

Zi Chen tried to use the heaven-defying energy in his body to attack the face, but he found that after the energy passed through the light barrier, it dissipated and could not form an attack.

Just as the face was about to swallow him, a transparent light barrier suddenly appeared in front of him. This light barrier was not formed by the scabbard. Instead, it was like a barrier that blocked the two sides.

"Bang."

The face slammed into the barrier, causing a second sound to ring out in this space. Just as this figure rang out, Zi Chen suddenly felt as if he had been startled awake, and the speed at which he retreated became even faster.

After retreating a few steps, Zi Chen put a lot of distance between him and the face. Following this, the scene in front of him changed.

A faint light appeared in the dark space. Through the light, Zi Chen saw a transparent space in front of him. In that space, there was a heart that was beating vigorously.

Above the heart, Eric, who had previously been invisible, appeared again. However, he was still unconscious, and the energy in his body was still being absorbed by the heart below.

The banging sounds were still ringing out. It was the sound of the face rushing forward. More accurately, every time the face rushed forward, a barrier would appear and block it.

As the face retreated, the barrier would automatically disappear.

"Damn things, let's see how long you can trap me."

The face raised its head, looked up, and cursed.

At that moment, Zi Chen's entire body was drenched in cold sweat. If not for the scabbard's warning, he would have walked into the heart and been swallowed by the face.

Zi Chen looked up and saw that above the heart, there were two objects, one black and one white, floating.

The black object was a broken longsword. The body of the longsword had some fine markings. The markings looked very complicated, as if they were one whole entity. It had only broken halfway.

On the opposite side of the saber, there was a white sphere. The sphere emitted a gentle light, causing the dark space to become slightly brighter.

Zi Chen had already tested it. The golden light in his body could not light up this space, but the white light from the orb could. Evidently, it was not an ordinary object.

Every time the face rushed forward, the broken longsword and the orb would give off a ray of light. The rays of light fused in the air and formed a barrier, blocking the face.

Seeing this, Zi Chen was completely stunned.

Evidently, the orb and the broken longsword were some kind of seal. At that moment, they were sealing the heart and the face.

From the aura Zi Chen had sensed earlier, the face definitely had the strength of a Saint. However, these two things could seal a Saint, which showed how extraordinary they were.

"Damned things. When I get out, I'll take care of the two of you first."

The face raised its head and looked at the two objects. After cursing for a while, it looked at Zi Chen again. Its empty eyes were flashing with scarlet flames. It said to Zi Chen, "Little guy, what are you waiting for? You saw that I'm trapped. Let me out."

"I'm a god. You're a god." The shocked Zi Chen looked at the face and cried out involuntarily.

"I am a Heavenly Deity. When you see this Heavenly Deity, you must kneel and greet me. Right now, time is of the essence. This Heavenly Deity will not bicker with you. You merely need to release this Heavenly Deity," That face said impatiently.

Zi Chen didn't answer immediately. At this moment, he was obviously very shocked. As far as he knew, the strongest existence seemed to be at the level of a Great Saint. As for the so-called god, it was the first time he had heard of it.

"Hurry up and let me out. Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly. I see that you haven't become a Saint yet. When I come out, I'll reward you with a piece of Saint Crystal and a few drops of Saint Blood. I'll let you break through to the Saint Realm in minutes."

Zi Chen's expression changed when he heard this. He was pleasantly surprised and immediately asked, "How should I let you out?"

At this moment, 'you' was obviously disrespectful, causing the face to be slightly dissatisfied. However, for the sake of freedom, he didn't care about trifles and directly said, "Do you see that broken longsword above? Go and pull it out. Then you'll be fine."

"It's that simple." Zi Chen was stunned.

"Is it that simple? Only the person holding the scabbard can pull out this broken longsword. If it's someone else, even a Saint can't pull it out."

"Oh, there's such a thing."

"Okay, stop being so long-winded. Hurry up and take the broken longsword. When the time comes, I won't forget to reward you." The face looked very impatient.

"Okay, I'll go now."

After he finished speaking, Zi Chen's figure soared into the sky. His face was also looking at Zi Chen, while an indescribable flame flickered in his deep eye sockets.

The thumping sound of his heart also became faster and faster, like the beating of a drum.

"Hehe, I'm finally going to be free. When I'm free …"

The face proudly fantasized about what would happen after he escaped, but soon he was stunned to find that Zi Chen had landed again and was looking at him with a playful expression.
