Although the Dark Star River was far inferior to the Heavenly River, it was equally unpredictable. An ordinary Supreme who entered it could easily become trapped, unable to escape.
As he roamed through the Dark Star River, Ye Chen gradually grew accustomed to its environment.
This place gave one the feeling of **, emptiness, and coldness.
"Hm? A fluctuation of demonic power!"
That day, Ye Chen sensed a fluctuation of demonic power different from that of the dark giant beasts. The fluctuation was extremely faint, and Ye Chen had to discern it several times before finally confirming it.
Without any hesitation, Ye Chen swept toward the source of the demonic power fluctuation.
Ye Chen discovered that the closer he got to the source, the more dark giant beasts there were. Ordinary Supreme-level dark giant beasts, powerful Supreme-level dark giant beasts, Super Supreme-level dark giant beasts—these dark giant beasts were savage by nature and attacked Ye Chen madly. Seeing more and more dark giant beasts attacking him, Ye Chen turned ruthless. Drawing the Heavenly Sword, he unleashed a Death Severance.
The dense sword net cleared out a swath of dark giant beasts. Only a scant few Super Supreme dark giant beasts survived.
After staring at Ye Chen suspiciously for several moments, the dark giant beasts flicked their tails and fled in one direction.
Ye Chen could not be bothered to pursue them and continued onward.
After more than half a day, Ye Chen arrived at the source of the demonic power fluctuation. Black currents had formed a vortex, and at its center bloomed an enormous black lotus as huge as a mountain. Its roots plunged deep into the vortex, its lotus leaves covered the vortex, and above the leaves stood a lotus pod the size of a small mountain.
"Dark Lotus!"
