Chapter 420: Chapter 132: Death of Blood Pupil, Pursuit by the True Monarch of Divinity Transformation!

Endless Sea Domain.

Lin Chen gazed at the Blood-eyed old demon whose Nascent Soul was dissipating, and Divine Soul was utterly extinguished, breathing a long sigh of relief.

"This old monster was quite hard to kill..."

"But at last, it’s done."

Lin Chen murmured.

In order to kill this Blood-eyed old demon, he had arranged a lot.

His original power wasn’t much weaker than the Blood-eyed old demon at full strength.

But fearing his identity would be exposed, Lin Chen rarely fought with full strength in front of others.

Without exception, cultivators aware of his full power almost all perished.

But to slay Blood Pupil, Lin Chen used all his strength.

Moreover, after a fierce battle, Blood Pupil’s strength was halved, and he was severely injured, unable to use his Nascent Soul True Self again in a short time.

Thus, it’s not surprising that Lin Chen killed him.

Slaying the Blood-eyed old demon did not end everything.

With no time for excessive thought, Lin Chen surveyed his surroundings.

All around the Endless Sea Domain were fierce winds, and even the sky was gloomy.

Beneath the sea surface, vague large figures were swimming, making Lin Chen somewhat uneasy.

After pondering, Lin Chen decided to return to Qing State, then escape through the underground safe house.

This was his pre-arranged escape route.

If all goes well, he could flee back to Wenda City in three days, and then he would be safe.

"Unfortunately, after this battle, my true identity has been exposed..."

"It seems I’ll have to face pursuit by the Demon Sect."

Lin Chen sighed, albeit he had many facades, and after this battle, he received enough resources to support his cultivation.

At worst, he would hide himself and cultivate for a while, reappearing once he was invincible in Qing State.

However, just when Lin Chen planned to return to Qing State.

Suddenly, a sense of foreboding arose in his heart.

He sensed a terrifying aura heading towards his direction...

"Is it... Demon Monarch Huiyue?"

Lin Chen’s expression turned somewhat grim; did Demon Monarch Huiyue still want to kill him?

Is it to avenge Blood Pupil?

"Probably not, perhaps just trying to kill me out of anger?"

"Could Tao Yao Elder not hold off Demon Monarch Huiyue?"

Lin Chen furrowed his brows, trying to control his inner emotions.

At such a time, panic was not an option.

Simultaneously, Lin Chen received a voice transmission from Elder Taoyao.

"Kid, run quickly!"

"I can’t hold off this old monster... Quickly escape deeper into the Endless Sea Domain, there might still be a slight chance of survival..."

Upon receiving this transmission, Lin Chen immediately turned and fled west, where the sea was deeper.

Elder Taoyao couldn’t hold off Demon Monarch Huiyue.

Because even if Demon Monarch Huiyue had only three breaths free, he would surely kill Lin Chen.

Thus, at this moment Lin Chen must rely on himself to survive!

Without any hesitation, Lin Chen pushed his tunneling speed to its limit.

Even faster than when he pursued the Blood-eyed old demon.

With nearly every breath, Lin Chen could escape ten miles.

But the True Monarch of Divinity Transformation’s speed was even faster!

One breath, three breaths, ten breaths...

Lin Chen felt Demon Monarch Huiyue getting closer and closer.

Just moments ago, he was pursuing the Blood-eyed old demon like this.

But now, the roles were reversed; he was the one fleeing...

After twelve breaths, Lin Chen glimpsed Demon Monarch Huiyue pursuing him.

In one breath, he would catch up to Lin Chen.

"Can’t die here..."

Lin Chen’s resolve was firm, desperately unleashing his potential, continuing to flee deeper into the Endless Sea Domain.

However, the distance between them was still closing relentlessly.

Another breath later, Demon Monarch Huiyue appeared ten zhang behind Lin Chen.

"Not yet a hundred years old, mid-stage Nascent Soul, impressive tunneling speed... Blood Pupil wasn’t wronged to die by your hands..."

Demon Monarch Huiyue flickered, appearing before Lin Chen.

Almost the first moment he saw Demon Monarch Huiyue, Lin Chen’s heart was under immense pressure.

This was suppression from the True Monarch of Divinity Transformation.

Lin Chen tried to calm himself and quietly activated the power of Candle Dragon within himself.

"Greetings, True Monarch."

Lin Chen spoke, his intention was naturally to buy time, waiting for Elder Taoyao to come to the rescue.

Demon Monarch Huiyue saw through Lin Chen’s mind with just a glance and sneered:

"You’ll die, I’ll kill you."

Upon hearing Demon Monarch Huiyue speak, Lin Chen instead breathed a sigh of relief.

Not striking immediately meant there was still an opportunity to stall.

"True Monarch, shouldn’t people from the Spirit Realm directly intervene in Lower Realm affairs..." Lin Chen spoke and then fell silent, intending to stall for time.

But Demon Monarch Huiyue merely laughed coldly:

"Ridiculous, do you know who set these rules?"

Lin Chen saw thick ridicule from Demon Monarch Huiyue’s hand.

The Spirit Realm shouldn’t interfere with the Mortal Realm; this was established by Spirit Realm cultivators.

They comply when they wish. If unwilling... Who is there to punish violations?

Lin Chen’s heart gradually sank.

"However..."

Demon Monarch Huiyue changed the subject;

"Don’t blame me for not giving you a chance to live."

"Join the Nether Realm, become the Lord of the Nether Realm. Lead the Demon Sect, reduce the living beings in Qing State by half within a century. Complete this task!"

"Then, not only will you survive, but you’ll also have the opportunity to glimpse Divinity Transformation!"

Demon Monarch Huiyue’s words were full of temptation.

"With your potential, Divinity Transformation might not be the end for you, do you understand?"

Lin Chen responded with silence.

Refusal meant certain death, but silence might buy him some time.

However, Demon Monarch Huiyue clearly wasn’t willing to give Lin Chen that chance.

"I’ll give you three breaths to consider..." Demon Monarch Huiyue said indifferently.

Simultaneously, an aura locked onto Lin Chen entirely, as terrifying True Essence slowly gathered.

Lin Chen did not respond, remaining silent.

After three breaths...

Lin Chen vaguely saw Elder Taoyao’s figure.

"Lin Chen!"

At the same time, Demon Monarch Huiyue’s face remained calm, merely throwing the True Essence in his hand towards Lin Chen.

As a long-established power of Divinity Transformation, Demon Monarch Huiyue was confident in killing Lin Chen with one strike.

Elder Taoyao needed one breath to arrive, and that single breath was Huiyue’s confidence.

"Must, must dodge this strike..."

Lin Chen’s heart screamed endlessly, but his flesh body seemed unable to move.

This was the Mental Realm, locked by the Heaven and Earth Intent Realm!

The Mental Realm of a True Monarch of Divinity Transformation was terrifying, more so than any Mental Realm Lin Chen had encountered before.

Under this Mental Realm, Lin Chen could hardly move.

"No, can’t die here!"

Lin Chen widened his eyes, watching the terrifying True Essence drawing ever closer.

At that moment, time seemed infinitely slowed in Lin Chen’s eyes.

"Candle Dragon, the power of the Candle Dragon!"

"Bullet Time!"

On the brink of life and death, Lin Chen finally unleashed his potential.

The long-dormant lock in the Heaven and Earth Intent Realm was finally broken.

In that moment, Lin Chen’s momentum exploded.

He was able to move...

In Lin Chen’s eyes, Demon Monarch Huiyue’s actions slowed more and more, and the surging True Essence also became sluggish.

Lin Chen’s figure glided ghost-like in the air for a short distance, narrowly dodging Huiyue’s deadly strike.

The inevitable Technique was evaded by Lin Chen; Huiyue paused for a moment.

But that single breath’s delay granted Lin Chen a chance for life.

A peach blossom appeared before Demon Monarch Huiyue.

Elder Taoyao’s figure slowly reappeared.

He didn’t waste words, saying directly:

"Kid, not even a quarter-hour has passed yet, hurry and run..."

Seeing this, Lin Chen didn’t hesitate, fleeing once more towards the west.

"Tao Yao!"

Behind him, Demon Monarch Huiyue’s roar echoed.

Again, the sound of battle between two True Monarchs of Divinity Transformation rang out.

The fierce winds of the Endless Sea Domain howled past Lin Chen’s side, while the waves on the sea surged endlessly.

The sky was dark.

But Lin Chen only sprinted towards the west at full speed.

"Run, run quickly!"

After fleeing for thirty breaths, Lin Chen also lost his sense of direction amidst the Endless Sea Domain.

The terror of the Endless Sea Domain also came from its difficult-to-discern directions...

Originally thinking he had escaped safely, a sense of endless panic rose again in Lin Chen’s heart.

Once more, Demon Monarch Huiyue caught up.

Lin Chen fled for thirty breaths, but for a True Monarch of Divinity Transformation, catching up... took only three breaths!

Thus, three breaths later, Lin Chen saw Demon Monarch Huiyue again.

This time, he spared no words.

Though he was curious how Lin Chen dodged his strike.

But he had no interest in exploring the secrets of the dead.

Demon Monarch Huiyue’s aura continually rose, a more terrifying True Essence gathering in his hand.

Simultaneously, an infinite Intent Realm and the power of Heaven and Earth pressed down on Lin Chen as if mountains were falling.

Lin Chen felt his reactions gradually dulling.

He lost his sense of taste and smell, no longer smelling the sea...

Lin Chen didn’t know what was happening, but he knew he had to save himself.

So...

A golden light enveloped Lin Chen entirely.

"Nascent Soul True Self, descend!"

Without hesitation, Lin Chen activated his Nascent Soul form.

In this form, his True Essence, Divine Sense, and even his understanding of the Heaven and Earth Intent Realm instantly doubled.

Approaching Nascent Soul Perfection level!

A flicker of surprise crossed Demon Monarch Huiyue’s eyes.

He marveled at Lin Chen’s talent.

Such talent appearing in the Lower Realm was indeed rare.

But in the Spirit Realm, Demon Monarch Huiyue had seen many before.

An instant later, the incredibly terrifying True Essence blasted towards Lin Chen once more.

This time, Elder Taoyao couldn’t come in one breath.

"Phew... even if I die, let it be worthily, right?"

Lin Chen took a deep breath, maximizing the power of the Candle Dragon.

The Profound Celestial Treasure Gourd on his waist shook continuously, as a black light appeared before him.

Demon-slaying Blade.

Lin Chen gathered all his True Essence, courage, and even all his Martial Arts into this one blade.

The Demon-slaying Blade trembled continuously, the enveloping True Essence becoming increasingly shocking.

At that moment, Lin Chen really wanted to shout.

"Please, treasure, turn around!"
