Lu Chen, What Did You Do?

The two figures emerged once more, each more respectful than the last. Not a trace of dissatisfaction could be seen on their faces, as though they had become Lu Chen's most loyal slaves—free to be beaten or cursed, never to resist.

"I'm asking you: how did you break through the Star Chain? And what is this purple light?"

Lu Chen asked directly.

"Reporting to my master, this purple light is the radiance cast by the Heavenly Dao Mirror, the supreme treasure of Divine King Leng Wuji."

Yun Potian immediately replied respectfully. "The Heavenly Dao Mirror is a treasure he obtained at tremendous cost during the Primordial Era. It can bore through ninety percent of the restrictions in the world and cause most of the rest to collapse. This time, he used the Heavenly Dao Mirror to bore through the Star Chain, allowing us to pass through smoothly."

"The Heavenly Dao Mirror."

Lu Chen murmured, his eyes flickering. "So Leng Wuji is still outside the Star Chain?"

"Yes."

Yun Potian replied, "The passage bored open by the Heavenly Dao Mirror can only allow two Divine Kings to cross at once. If too many Divine Kings enter, the unstable energy will cause it to collapse."

"What is Leng Wuji's cultivation?"

Lu Chen asked.

"The same as this subordinate's—Divine King Second Layer."

Yun Potian answered.

"Divine King Second Layer."

Lu Chen laughed outright. "Other than him, are there any other Divine Kings?"

"There were originally nine Divine Kings assisting him, including us. But after boring through the Star Chain, five Divine Kings departed. At present, one Divine King remains by his side, named Xuanyuan Tiangang."

Yun Potian said.

"Excellent!"

Lu Chen was extremely pleased. Smiling, he said, "I'm preparing to send these two Divine Kings a grand gift. What do you think?"

"We shall obey our master's command!"

The two replied respectfully.

Lu Chen raised his head and gazed at the hazy purple light high in the sky, the smile on his face growing broader.

Who would have thought he would buy two and get two free?

There was such a good thing?

In that case.

Then he would not stand on ceremony.

"Can he see us from up there?"

Lu Chen asked.

"Reporting to my master, with the Star Chain blocking the way, it is difficult to see clearly. Only after passing through the Star Chain can one see below."

Sword Marquis replied respectfully.

"Then that settles it. Let's go meet him!"

Lu Chen laughed directly.

A flicker of light and shadow flashed beneath his feet, and the massive form of an Azure Dragon appeared. With a low chant, it immediately carried him toward the high sky.

Sword Marquis and Yun Potian promptly followed behind.

At this very moment.

Outside the Star Chain.

Leng Wuji wore a calm expression. Dressed in flowing white robes, he was as refined as jade, his bearing profound and unfathomable. Not a speck of dust stained his body; he seemed to stand apart from time and space itself.

Before him floated a palm-sized purple mirror.

Divine light shone from the mirror, illuminating the depths below. It actually pierced straight through the Star Chain and extended all the way to its deepest reaches.

"Brother Leng's Heavenly Dao Mirror truly lives up to its reputation. It is enough to make one envious."

Xuanyuan Tiangang sighed softly from the side.

"I paid an enormous price to get this precious mirror back then."

Leng Wuji smiled faintly. "It's just a pity that the mirror's surface is too narrow and can only illuminate a small area. If it could be enlarged a little more, it would be perfect."

"A heavenly supreme treasure—gaining even an inch of it is already defying the heavens. How could one dare ask for more?"

Xuanyuan Tiangang sighed, then suddenly smiled. "Things below have probably ended by now. That Lu Chen has most likely been shaken to death completely."

"A bug like him—there are plenty of ways to crush him."

Leng Wuji smiled faintly. "Forget two Divine Kings from the lower realm. Even a single Divine King would be enough to change everything!"

"Yes, though I wonder what opportunities will appear in this realm after being illuminated by you?"

Xuanyuan Tiangang carefully swept his gaze downward.

He knew that this purple light was mysterious and unfathomable, capable of melting all kinds of restrictions between heaven and earth.

Once the purple light pierced through the Star Chain, any area shrouded in its glow would inevitably be unsealed.

The Yin Realm already held so many treasures.

The Yang Realm surely held even more!

Just as the two of them narrowed their eyes and carefully scanned below, their gazes suddenly flickered. They sensed several figures rapidly flying up from beneath them.

"That's... Yun Potian and the Sword Marquis!"

"They finished so quickly? They didn't fight?"

Both of them were astonished.

Could it be that the area illuminated by the purple light had not been unsealed?

Otherwise, why had the two not searched it?

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Under their watchful eyes, Yun Potian and the Sword Marquis swiftly flew out from the Star Chain below, appearing directly not far from the pair.

Just as the two men smiled and prepared to ask them about it, their expressions abruptly changed again.

"Roar!"

A deafening dragon's roar suddenly rang out.

From within the region bathed in purple light, the colossal body of an Azure Dragon suddenly emerged, letting out an earth-shaking roar.

Naturally, such a dragon's roar would not have earned so much as a second glance from them.

Yet the figure standing atop the Azure Dragon's head made their pupils contract as cold light instantly shot from their eyes.

Lu Chen!

It was actually that Lu Chen?

"Sword Marquis, you brought this Lu Chen out?"

Leng Wuji spoke indifferently. "Why not just kill trash like this with a single palm strike? Why bring him out? Are you planning to torment him?"

Almost instinctively, he assumed Lu Chen had been restrained and forcibly brought out by the two.

He simply could not believe that earth-shaking events had already unfolded below.

"Presumptuous!"

The Sword Marquis suddenly roared, glaring at Leng Wuji. "How dare you insult my master? Slap yourself!"

Boom!

Streams of Sword Qi howled toward Leng Wuji.

Leng Wuji frowned. Ignoring all the Sword Qi, his body glowed as he dissolved every last strand of it, saying coldly, "Have you gone mad? What nonsense are you spouting?"

Xuanyuan Tiangang, standing to one side, also furrowed his brow. Sensing that something was wrong, he said, "Yun Potian, what is going on? Why didn't you kill this insect?"

"You insulted my master. You too cannot escape death!"

Yun Potian's voice was icy as he directly jabbed out a finger.

With a sharp hiss, terrifying Divine King finger-light seemed to transform into a river of stars, charging straight toward Xuanyuan Tiangang.

Xuanyuan Tiangang's expression changed. His body rapidly dodged, shifting sideways an unknown number of miles in an instant.

Boom!

The finger-light struck the distance, setting off a heaven-shaking surge and destroying several planets.

Terrifying, unfathomable power surged wildly in every direction.

"Yun Potian, what are you trying to do?"

Xuanyuan Tiangang's face was filled with shock.

Both men were shaken to the core, realizing that something was wrong.

This was seriously wrong!

They had only gone down for a moment—how had things become like this?

"What exactly is wrong with you two?"

Leng Wuji continued to roar.

Then, as if he had suddenly realized something, he fiercely turned toward Lu Chen and shouted, "Does this have something to do with you? What did you do?"

"What did I do?"

A smile suddenly appeared on Lu Chen's face. He clapped his hands and said, "They willingly chose to pledge themselves to me. From now on, they want to be my most loyal servants. What could I possibly do about that? Ask them yourselves—isn't that right?"

"We swear unto death to serve our master!"

The two replied respectfully.
