Chapter 2022: Chapter 1990: Infiltrating the God Subduing Swamp

Heavenly Fiend Lone Star, this was originally just an exaggerated term.

After all, no one is truly forever alone.

No matter what, as long as you live in this world, you will inevitably have contact with people, and the fate of the Heavenly Fiend Lone Star suggests that everyone close to you, or even those who have had some contact with you, will cease to exist.

Therefore, this is an exaggerated term.

In fact, no matter how reclusive a person is, there will always be one or two people they can talk to.

And in the world, a true Heavenly Fiend Lone Star does not exist.

But who is Suan Tian?

Calculating people, the earth, the heavens, leaving no strategy behind, the words he says, no matter how exaggerated, have considerable credibility.

It is precisely because of this, that Old Ghost was momentarily dumbfounded.

"A genuine... Heavenly Fiend Lone Star? Isn’t such a fate said to never exist?" Old Ghost could not help but ask.

"No, when the Four Realms Era just began, before the Ancient War, wasn’t there such a person? He very likely was the Heavenly Fiend Lone Star." Old Ghost said with a heavy expression.

"You mean..." Upon hearing this, Old Ghost couldn’t help but gasp.

"Exactly, and this young man, his fate seems to have been altered, so it’s somewhat different. Changing fate and altering heaven is something no one has ever succeeded in, it is said that back then the Supreme could seemingly do it, but no one ever heard of the Supreme altering fate for anyone; later it became legend." Suan Tian said softly.

"I also don’t know exactly what needs to be done to change a person’s fate. If there is a way, it might only be death." Suan Tian sighed lightly.

"Death..." The more Old Ghost listened, the more he felt his heart pounding.

Although Suan Tian only revealed some fragments, if linked together, it might be quite a shocking secret.

Such a secret, even he is not qualified to delve deeply into.

"Alright, I’ve said all that I can." Seeing the look on Old Ghost’s face, Suan Tian knew he must have guessed something, shaking his head he said: "The Doomsday Beast Soul has reappeared, probably another great upheaval, I should go visit those old fellows. These Doomsday Beast Souls are nothing, what I fear is that the monster creates a true alter ego or the main body breaks free, then it would be a catastrophe."

"Alright." Old Ghost also knew Suan Tian’s identity was relatively special and did not say more, he bowed towards Suan Tian: "Take care."

"Take care." Suan Tian nodded, and then with a step forward, disappeared.

Not only this piece of land, but even the entire Little Secret Realm lost Suan Tian’s trace.

At their level of existence, they have reached the point of being truly unpredictable even by gods and ghosts.

For others, perhaps the Little Secret Realm is extremely hidden and very special, but to experts like them, they can enter and exit freely.

The world barrier of the Little Secret Realm is so weak it’s like it doesn’t even exist, with one step, Suan Tian had left the Little Secret Realm.

Watching Suan Tian’s departing figure, Old Ghost sighed lightly: "These old fellows have all come out, it seems another grand battle will occur. Let’s hope this time it won’t be as devastating as the Ancient War."

...

"This should be about it." In the God-subduing Marsh, Li Chen said cautiously to Christina beside him.

"Right here?" Christina was startled.

"Yes." Li Chen looked into the distance and said: "Going further, even I can’t be certain of coming out."

As they ventured deeper, the strange and terrifying energy radiating from the God-subduing Marsh grew stronger.

The entire God-subduing Marsh seemed to emanate a death aura.

It wasn’t evil qi nor yin qi, just the purest death aura, within which was a power of exhaustion and decay.

For others, even a regular Domain Realm Expert, just breathing in this place for a moment would age and wither into a dry corpse.

This doesn’t extract the energy of cultivators, nor does the power of time instantly age someone; it’s the purest death aura that can turn a person into a corpse!

Li Chen roughly estimated that here was about the limit of what he was confident in handling.

If he went forward, he wouldn’t be sure.

Although Li Chen enjoys taking risks, he wouldn’t jokingly gamble with his life for no reason.

This is why he’s survived countless life-or-death bets.

Even when gambling with life, it must be done with some degree of assurance before he gambles.

"So now we..."

"Go down and see." Li Chen said with a smile.

"Down?" Christina’s eyes widened.

"Yes, down." With that, Li Chen jumped directly off the dinghy and stepped into the swamp.

Watching Li Chen jump into the swamp, Christia hesitated for a moment, but eventually clenched her teeth and followed him down; she trusted Li Chen wouldn’t casually joke with his own life.

"Ready?"

Christina nodded solemnly, although unsure of Li Chen’s plan, she had come here intending to find the inheritance of the Innate Gods and Demons, and returning empty-handed would mean a wasted trip.

"Ready, then let’s go."

Li Chen nodded with a smile and in the next moment, his wrist trembled slightly, and a sword intent erupted from Li Chen’s fingertips.

"Cease Spear!!"

The peculiar power of Time Law instantly took effect.

In the past, Li Chen always used Cease Spear against enemies to restrict their actions.

But this time was different, this Cease Spear was directed at himself.

The power of Cease Spear instantly formed a small cycle of time, enveloping both Li Chen and Christina within it; Christina, feeling no sense of unease, fell directly into the time cycle, unaware even of herself.

As Li Chen’s cultivation deepened, the power of Cease Spear became increasingly potent.

Unless the opponent was powerful to a certain degree, not only would they be unable to break free from the time cycle, they likely wouldn’t even understand what’s happening before dying.

"Great Earth Law—Infinite Weight!"

In the next moment, the sphere formed by Cease Spear’s time cycle transformed into a meteorite, sinking straight into the bottom of the swamp.

It was as if beneath the swamp, a White Dwarf Star was hiding, emitting terrifying suction and gravitational force.

"Pop!"

When Christina awakened, she found herself standing on a vast expanse of land.

"This... what’s happening? How did we suddenly appear here?" Entrapped in Cease Spear, Christina had no concept of time; in her mind, she was still at the moment above the God-subduing Marsh when Li Chen was speaking.

"Don’t dwell on it." Li Chen chuckled, not explaining the intricacies of Cease Spear, merely gesturing gently forward: "Anyway, we’ve arrived."
