Chapter 2954: Chapter 2953: What Is There to Fear?

What exactly is that mysterious power?

Where did these dark chains come from?

The doubts in the heart grow more and more.

And just at this moment, the image beside him, like a projection, changes once again.

Nine indistinct human warriors come to besiege and kill King Jiang Chen...

The following scenes are somewhat similar to the mural on the first wall.

It should be the process of nine Secondary Ancestors jointly besieging King Jiang Chen.

When King Jiang Chen is thoroughly killed, all the images finally end.

And as the image concludes, the space inside once again turns into darkness and chaos.

Moreover, unlike the second wall, it doesn’t replay multiple times.

"It seems the images here will only be played once. After one round, there’s nothing left," Lin Dong thought secretly to himself.

Then, his ’Soul’ withdrew from this third mural space.

When he returned to his true self, Lin Dong opened his eyes.

Seeing him open his eyes, Dracula hurriedly asked, "Brother Lin, what benefits did you gain from the third wall this time?"

Lin Dong remained silent and did not answer.

This time, he obviously did not gain any benefits.

But rather vaguely learned some secrets.

And these secrets were evidently more precious than any treasures.

"These secrets are related to that realm above the Ninth Heaven..." Lin Dong thought to himself.

He smiled at Dracula and said, "Didn’t gain anything, just a dark space, my soul walked through it and found nothing."

"Really?" Dracula was a bit unbelieving.

Lin Dong laughed and said, "You can go in and take a look."

Dracula smiled bitterly; he wanted to, but simply couldn’t enter.

Of course, even if he could enter now, or if someone could in the future, no one could uncover that secret.

Because the murals in the third wall space only project that scene once.

After one round, it’s gone.

Dracula saw that Lin Dong didn’t seem to want to talk about the mural’s content on the third wall, so he didn’t press further.

At this moment, Lin Dong used his mental power to connect with Senior Sovereign Witch.

Then, in the spirit world, he engaged in a dialogue with Senior Sovereign Witch.

"Senior Sovereign Witch, have you ever seen during ancient times, the kind of dark chains penetrating the body like we encountered last time at the Dragon Bone..."

Wow!

When this question was asked, Senior Sovereign Witch’s face drastically changed.

After pondering for a while, she finally spoke.

"Lin Dong, why do you ask this?"

Faced with Senior Sovereign Witch, Lin Dong did not hide anything, as his relationship with her was different from that with Dracula.

The two could already be said to be one entity, and there were no secrets between them.

Lin Dong began, "Just now, I entered the third wall, and in its murals, I saw some things."

"It turns out that the reason King Jiang Chen’s nature changed in later years wasn’t, as the first mural stated, because of a woman."

"But for another reason."

"Oh? What reason?" Sovereign Witch said, "I also think, at King Jiang Chen’s level of cultivation, how could he deviate into evil territory because of a woman and become a butcher only knowing slaughter..."

Lin Dong told Senior Sovereign Witch the scenes he saw in the mural world truthfully.

After listening, Sovereign Witch was greatly shocked. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"You’re saying, it’s because when he crossed the Ninth Heaven’s Heavenly tribulation, a dark chain descended from the sky and penetrated his body, affecting him ever since."

"Turning him into a butcher only knowing how to slaughter living beings?"

"Yes. And such slaughter is devoid of emotion, thought, or sentiment. It wasn’t just slaughtering humans, but all living creatures."

"Even the flowers and grasses weren’t spared. Even eggs had to be shaken and destroyed... that’s terrifying."

Upon hearing this, Sovereign Witch’s expression grew increasingly grim.

Suddenly, she remembered something.

"Back then, my master also experienced a change in nature... later, he too was besieged and killed by other ancestor-level experts. When he died, his body also had a dark chain running through it."

"Could it be that his change in nature and his death are also related to this dark chain..."

Lin Dong quickly asked, "Senior Sovereign Witch, back then your master, what was his strength? Had he also reached the Ninth Heaven, or was he even going through that Ninth Heaven’s Heavenly Tribulation?"

Sovereign Witch nodded, "Yes, in that era, my master was also a peerless Tianjiao among his contemporaries. I originally thought that he would ascend beyond the Ninth Heaven Martial Arts Realm... I didn’t expect him to die."

"Do you think every Ninth Heaven’s Martial Artist, when they attempt a breakthrough and experience the heavenly tribulation, encounters that dark chain?"

Lin Dong fell silent...

What he saw included that True Dragon Bone, King Jiang Chen, and he had heard about Senior Sovereign Witch’s master...

In their lifetimes, that True Dragon, King Jiang Chen, and the master of Senior Sovereign Witch were all extreme experts of the Ninth Heaven.

Even at an ancestor level, they were forces that could fight many.

However, after their deaths, they shared a common trait. Their bodies were penetrated by that mysterious dark chain.

Although it’s unclear if that True Dragon, as well as the master of Senior Sovereign Witch, also encountered that dark chain while crossing the heavenly tribulation... based on current information, it’s highly probable.

"What exactly is that dark chain? Why is it so terrifying? Even capable of piercing the defenses of a True Dragon and King Jiang Chen?"

"Even a True Dragon Bone could be penetrated..." Sovereign Witch mumbled, clearly having limited knowledge of the dark chains.

Suddenly, her eyes sharpened, and she voiced a speculation, "Could it really have been sent down by God?"

"Perhaps God does not allow any creature to break through beyond the Ninth Heaven..."

Listening to Sovereign Witch’s words, Lin Dong remained silent for a long time.

"Maybe, but so what? Even if the Heavenly Way does not permit, I will fight for a ray of hope."

"If the Heavenly Gifted Technique is not invincible, I will use heaven-defying skills to contend. Even if the Heavenly Way forbids me from breaking beyond the Ninth Heaven, I must break through..."

Lin Dong does not care about those things.

If others learned of such a secret, they might despair.

They might think that no matter how they cultivate, it’s impossible to break through beyond the Ninth Heaven, that they would lose their upward Tao Heart because of that mysterious dark chain.

But Lin Dong wouldn’t!

He was always a person who defied heaven!

Why fear the heaven?
