Chapter 1162: On the Other Side (2)
Editor: Henyee Translations
Time passed little by little.
After 2,000 Chaos Reincarnations, he was suddenly shocked. His mind and will sensed that the laws in the depths of the Chaos Origin were rapidly dying, as if an invisible force was devouring them. This power made him feel familiar. “Oh, no! It’s the power of the dark river!”
He used the same power to protect Ji Qing Tong, Hun Ling, and Yun Tian’s rules. Instantly, the destruction of the laws slowed down, then finally stopped. However, Shen Ping could sense that the invisible force was constantly strengthening. If he wanted to forcefully devour the laws, he could only mobilize nearly half of his mind and will to activate the power of the dark river to resist.
At the same time, in the Chaos beyond the river, Ji Qing Tong, Hun Ling, and Yun Tian’s bodies were enveloped in black fog. The black fog devoured the power of laws in their bodies. Just as they thought that they were about to die, they were shocked to discover that the speed at which the power of laws in their bodies disappeared had stopped.
“It’s Shen Ping!”
“He must have protected us!”
“Awesome!
“Let’s hurry up and see if we can get out!”
Although Ji Qing Tong did not know what Shen Ping had used to protect their rules, he knew that this was the best time to escape. Therefore, he, Hun Ling, and Yun Tian tried their best to find a crack in the black fog and kept crawling in.
After spending more than ten chaotic reincarnation cycles, they finally broke out of the encirclement of the black fog. When they saw the black fog surging behind them, they disregarded their losses and continued fleeing. Only after leaving the primal chaos outside the river did they stop with lingering fear in their eyes.
Once they returned to the Nine Provinces Chaos, they arrived at the palace deep within the source. Shen Ping poured a cup of spirit wine for each of them to calm down. Then, he asked, “What exactly is going on? What did you encounter in the Chaos beyond the river?”
Hun Ling smiled bitterly and said, “I almost died this time. I didn’t expect the Chaos beyond the river to be so terrifying. We are too unlucky. I’ve heard from those Primordial Chaos Realms that the Chaos beyond the river is very dangerous. But as long as we’re careful and don’t encounter stronger Primordial Chaos Realm creatures, there won’t be a problem. We might even be lucky and encounter a treasure nurtured by the power of laws.
“Who knew that we would encounter such a terrifying creature? When the black fog enveloped us, it was as if a completely different power was nibbling at us. Fortunately, at the critical moment, Shen Ping, you protected our rules!”
Yun Tian said with lingering fear, “That’s right. I don’t know what kind of creature that black fog is, but it appeared out of thin air. I can’t sense it at all.”
The two of them talked intermittently. Ji Qing Tong said, “Shen Ping, if it weren’t for you, the three of us would definitely have died inside. Originally, we planned to explore the Chaos beyond the river that others had explored, but we discovered a new Chaos beside the Chaos. Out of curiosity, we entered it. The Chaos is indeed mysterious. At the very least, we discovered five materials that can be used to refine Primordial Chaos treasures. There are also some Primordial Chaos Realm creatures. They aren’t strong. I originally thought that by joining forces to kill these Primordial Chaos Realm creatures, we could strengthen ourselves. Unexpectedly, a black fog creature suddenly appeared!”
Shen Ping frowned. He was the only one who knew that the black fog was very likely a creature with the power of the dark river. However, why was it different from the golden beast? “Brother Ji, Hun Ling, Yun Tian, didn’t you see the shape of the black fog creature clearly?”
“No! When we discovered it, the black fog had already completely enveloped us. No matter how we resisted, it was useless.” Ji Qing Tong said in a deep voice, “The energy contained in that black fog is very strange. It can offset our nomological power. No matter what method we use, it will be offset by the black fog’s energy. When the black fog offsets us, a portion of its body will dissipate. But when the black fog fills our bodies, it can even devour our laws. It can also prevent us from dying.”
Shen Ping thought for a moment and looked at Ji Qing Tong, Hun Ling, and Yun Tian. He said, “I hope you can go to the Chaos beyond the river again and try your best to figure out what creature it is!”
“Again?” Ji Qing Tong and the other two looked at each other. Hun Ling could not help but say, “Shen Ping, that black fog creature is very terrifying. We can’t resist it at all!”
Shen Ping nodded. “I understand. This time, I’ll use my mind and will to store it in you. Don’t worry. Since I can protect your rules under its devouring, I can naturally protect them again. The reason why I asked you to go again is mainly because I sensed a similar energy when I was fighting against the rules of the Wu Chaos. Therefore, I want to confirm that if it’s really the case, the golden exotic beast of the Wu Chaos is very likely a creature of the Chaos beyond the river!”
Ji Qing Tong’s eyes lit up. If that was the case, they would have a way to destroy the Wu Chaos. The creatures of the Chaos beyond the river would not be allowed to enter the Mother Stream. “Okay, let’s go again!”
