Chapter 3638: Chapter 3657: The Peculiar Heavenly Demon
Under the enormous time-space vortex, a large group of saints spread out in all directions.
In the starry sky, there is no concept of up, down, left, or right; every direction is infinite, every direction is the starry sky.
Lin Chen first left coordinates near the vortex gate before casually choosing a direction to proceed.
According to Yu Qianfan’s description, after exiting the vortex gate, Heavenly Demons are present in every direction.
As long as you choose a direction without people and search forward, you will surely find traces of the Heavenly Demons.
They cannot define where this starry sky is, nor even know if it is on the same plane as the Heavenly God Realm. In short, they can confirm one thing: in this vast and boundless starry sky, countless Heavenly Demons live.
Previously, the Heaven Deities entered in groups, intending to uncover the secrets of this starry sky and find the lair of the Heavenly Demons; to see just how formidable the Heavenly Demons are. However, they did not succeed.
This starry sky is too vast.
The Heavenly God Realm is also vast, yet compared to this starry sky, it seems negligible.
The universe is infinitely large, perfectly exemplified in the starry sky.
Lin Chen does hope to discover something in this starry sky, even if it’s finding a place where Heavenly Demons gather. Mainly because Lin Chen feels that searching for Heavenly Demons one by one makes the collection of energy and Heavenly Demon Crystals too slow.
Soon, in the starry sky, only Lin Chen was left.
Lin Chen did not rush to summon An Wenwei and the others, since he is, after all, a saint, and even if he does encounter a Heavenly Demon, he won’t be defeated in an instant.
Lin Chen transformed into a star, spanning across the Star River, rapidly heading toward the depths of the distant Star Sea.
Finally, Lin Chen discovered a gigantic planet. Its surface looked somewhat red and green, as if life forms were present.
Lin Chen’s powerful perception extended, instantly enveloping the entire planet.
Hmm?
A presence of strong energy fluctuations?
Heavenly Demon?
Just as Lin Chen was contemplating how to confront it, a streak of radiance swiftly rose from the planet, rushing straight toward him.
Lin Chen’s heart tightened. Well, he hadn’t looked for it yet, but it seemed to have found him first.
Fortunately, the opponent was alone!
Lin Chen used the Linglong Tower to summon An Wenwei first, while Duanmu Wen and Charming Erosion temporarily remained in the Linglong Tower.
Lin Chen feared that summoning too many people at once might scare the opponent away.
As the light-shadow approached, a towering Blood Light appeared before Lin Chen, like a titanic Sword Qi slashing.
An Wenwei stepped forward, using his magical treasure to block the attack.
In one hit, An Wenwei’s body was sent flying backward in midair, instantly crashing into and shattering a large floating meteorite.
The light-shadow also didn’t fare well, being struck back equally.
From the impact results on both sides, neither seemed to gain the upper hand in this strike.
"Thousands of years have passed, and you have come again!"
A peculiar hissing sound echoed in Lin Chen’s mind. Strangely, Lin Chen hadn’t clearly seen the form of the life form yet, but he understood its words.
This must be a form of communication that acts deep within the soul.
The light-shadow halted in midair, and Zhao Qing finally saw its form.
A humanoid life form, but quite peculiar.
It had a human-like shape, with a scorpion-like tail, and curved horns on its head. Its body was wrapped in what seemed like bandages, covering it entirely, including the face, leaving no skin visible.
Beneath the bandages, its eyes glowed with lightning-like radiance, and its tail also shimmered with streaks of lightning, appearing quite intimidating.
This is a Heavenly Demon?
It seemed much more pleasing compared to the brutal form he had imagined.
But as soon as they met, it unleashed its full force if An Wenwei hadn’t been summoned in time, Lin Chen might not have withstood the strike.
Heavenly Demons truly are ferocious!
This was the first Heavenly Demon he had encountered, attacking without a word. Perhaps in their eyes, he was an intruder in their territory?
Under the starry sky, survival of the fittest.
If the Heavenly Demons are strong enough, our group is the prey. If our group is strong enough, the Heavenly Demons are prey.
Lin Chen responded, "Have you encountered our adventurers before?"
The Heavenly Demon hissed, "Yes, I’ve hunted three of them. Your bodies are excellent energy sources, very beneficial to me. Now that you’ve appeared again, it marks the beginning of our celebration."
Lin Chen frowned, "Celebration? As far as I know, while many of our people have indeed died at your hands, haven’t more of your people died? Does this count as a celebration?"
The Heavenly Demon’s tone was arrogant and disdainful, "The identity of hunter and prey is defined by strength. As long as I am strong enough, I am the hunter. This is my moment of hunting. Isn’t that my celebration?"
"As for those weaker Heavenly Demons, weakness is the original sin. Their death is only natural. We Heavenly Demons often kill each other. Those who died at your hands are dead and not worthy of pity."
The Heavenly Demon truly is ruthless and violent!
"You see, you tried to ambush just now but didn’t gain any advantage. This indicates it’s not easy for you to kill us. How about we exchange some information and part ways?"
The Heavenly Demon’s voice is violent, "What, do you want to ask me where our Heavenly Demon Clan’s settlement is?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Yeah, can you tell me?"
The Heavenly Demon answered, "Of course not. If we say, we’ll die instantly."
Say and die?
No wonder, despite many Thousand Saints Conferences and even Heaven Deities personally coming here, the Heavenly Demons’ settlement remains undiscovered.
The Heavenly Demons fill this star domain. The searched and the non-searched combined, the number of Heavenly Demons likely is terrifying. It raises questions for everyone: how did the Heavenly Demon Clan form, and where is their territory?
However, these two questions remain unanswered to this day.
These Heavenly Demons appear not to be fleshly beings, but rather extremely pure energy bodies.
Looks like catching one for study is necessary.
"Friend, I’ll give you a chance to live; tell me everything you know. Otherwise, today might be your last day."
The Heavenly Demon fixed its gaze on Lin Chen, lightning flickered beneath its wrapping, thin strands of electricity seeping through the fabric edges, making the whole figure seem enveloped in lightning.
"Just with you, you’re weaker than that guy just now; you can’t even withstand one move from me..."
