He could not make out what lay within the starlight. All he could see was a white band of light emerging from it.
That band of light was the Heaven-Connecting River.
The dense starlight was the legendary Star Screen.
Seeing this river, Chen Lin knew Jin Ruhua had spoken the truth.
The source of the Heaven-Connecting River was indeed here.
But he could not see any sign of the Star Whirlpool.
One of the things he wanted to learn about on this journey was the Star Whirlpool. He wanted to see what wonders lay within the dwelling places of those natural divine beings.
"Ah, what's that!"
Chen Lin was straining to look into the distance, searching for traces of the Star Whirlpool, when he suddenly heard a startled cry.
He immediately looked around.
Then his face went deathly pale.
In the void on the other side of the Heaven-Connecting River's source, an immense, boundless shadow slowly appeared.
As it gradually came into focus,
it revealed the form of a big black dog.
It was the very one he had encountered on the Outer Realm Battlefield in the Nightmare Realm!
"How could that thing be here!"
Jin Ruhua's strained voice rang out. Unable to maintain her usual composure, even her voice began to tremble.
She made a gesture.
The Spirit Boat immediately stopped.
Every cultivator aboard hunched their shoulders, not daring to make a sound.
The Semi-Void female cultivator who had cried out clamped her hands tightly over her mouth, her face pale and her eyes filled with regret and despair.
It's no use.
Chen Lin silently murmured to himself.
He knew how keen the Big Black Dog's senses were.
Never mind being this close-even several times farther away, it would still detect them.
Jin Ruhua clearly understood this as well.
