Chapter 1405 The Power of the Time Law
At this critical moment, Lu Chen endured the excruciating pain and immediately mobilized the divine essence within his body, unleashing the power of the Great Dao's origin, "I am the earth."
In an instant, Lu Chen's body turned into nothingness, merging directly into every inch of the earth and disappearing into the tunnel.
Just a second before Lu Chen disappeared, the blue-robed cultivator had already appeared above his head like a ghost.
When he saw Lu Chen disappear into thin air, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he secretly admired him: "He can actually merge himself into the earth. This ant's escape technique is really good."
But then, he flashed away again, determined to find and eliminate Lu Chen completely.
At this moment, Lu Chen, who had transformed into nothingness, was rapidly traversing the depths of the earth. His original plan was to escape for a distance and then hide in the Golden Pearl World.
However, he soon noticed something amiss: even when he unleashed the power of the Great Dao's origin, "I am the earth," completely merging his body into the earth,
However, I could still clearly feel that I was firmly locked onto by the other party's divine sense. It was as if no matter how I hid, I was completely exposed under the other party's watchful eye.
Realizing this, a chill ran through Lu Chen. If he entered the Golden Pearl World now, the dust it had transformed into would be detected immediately. Wouldn't that make him a sitting duck?
It should be understood that a powerful expert at the Dao Cultivation Realm has more than enough strength to refine the Golden Pearl World. The consequences would be unimaginable.
Faced with this seemingly unsolvable situation, Lu Chen did not give up hope. He knew that in the face of such an absolute disparity in strength, only by outsmarting the enemy could he find a glimmer of hope.
So he kept changing direction underground, using the complex structure of the earth to confuse the enemy's pursuit, while thinking of countermeasures.
Every turn, every acceleration and deceleration, is an attempt to break the opponent's prediction and gain more chances of survival.
Despite his severe internal injuries and the immense pain he endured with every movement, Lu Chen gritted his teeth and persevered.
As time went on, the middle-aged cultivator in blue robes gradually became serious, because he realized that even though he had increased his speed to the limit, he still could not get close to Lu Chen, and even using ranged attacks, he could not hit the other party.
The opponent's movement speed on the ground has increased more than tenfold; the only thing that can be done is to still lock onto the opponent with divine sense.
At the same time, Lu Chen, who was underground, suddenly felt uneasy. Immediately afterwards, a terrifying force attacked from behind. With a loud "boom," this force not only exploded on the ground but also penetrated the earth and struck Lu Chen directly.
Sensing the threat, Lu Chen quickly changed position, but no matter how hard he tried, a force always seemed to arrive first, forcing him to continue. In this situation, Lu Chen could only run wildly in the predetermined direction, while remaining secretly vigilant.
The middle-aged cultivator in blue robes watched as Lu Chen fled in the direction he had planned, a smug smile playing on his lips. He knew his plan was unfolding step by step.
As Lu Chen fled rapidly underground, he gradually realized the enemy's intentions—clearly, the enemy was using some method to guide his escape route.
After Lu Chen dodged the attack once again, he was suddenly pulled away by a powerful force while in a state of nothingness.
This sudden turn of events startled him, and he hurriedly tried to fly towards the ground. After finally emerging from the ground and revealing his true form, Lu Chen was horrified to find that the terrifying suction force had not weakened; on the contrary, it continued to pull him towards the center of the low-lying area.
At this moment, Lu Chen felt like a leaf drifting in the wind, his body completely out of control.
Even more terrifying, Lu Chen suddenly realized that his lifespan was rapidly slipping away. He could feel the vitality within his body vanishing like a flood bursting its banks, each second feeling like tens of thousands of years had passed.
His skin began to become rough, wrinkles spread across his face like tree bark, and his once jet-black hair turned snow-white in an instant.
"Oh no, what kind of place is this?"
Without a second thought, Lu Chen knew he had to act immediately. In this life-or-death situation, he recklessly slipped into the Golden Pearl World.
The moment Lu Chen entered the Golden Pearl World, he felt that the terrifying suction force finally disappeared, but his physical condition was already in grave danger.
He collapsed weakly to the ground, his body cracked, his hair completely white, and his aged appearance was alarming.
Just as Lu Chen was about to lose consciousness, the ancient divine beast Pixiu and the Golden Ginseng King sensed their master's presence and rushed over.
When they saw Lu Chen's appearance, they were immediately startled.
"Holy crap, where did Boss go on another adventure? He's injured like this!" Xiao Qiu exclaimed in shock, as if he didn't recognize Lu Chen.
Little Golden Ginseng rushed forward, its face filled with concern and surprise: "Such powerful time law! Boss, could you have entered some kind of forbidden zone?!"
"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and carry the boss to the Chaos Tree. If you delay the boss's recovery, I'll skin you alive," Xiao Qiu urged.
Upon hearing this, Little Golden Ginseng dared not delay for a moment. It quickly picked up Lu Chen's body, transformed into a golden afterimage, and instantly disappeared from the spot.
When they reappeared, they had arrived at the area where the Chaos Tree was planted. Little Golden Ginseng carefully placed Lu Chen near the Chaos Tree, then took a few steps back.
Sensing Lu Chen's arrival, the Chaos Tree seemed to respond, a soft light emanating from its trunk, and streams of vibrant energy slowly flowed out, swirling around Lu Chen's body.
Under the influence of this powerful life force, Lu Chen's cracked body began to recover little by little, his wounds gradually healed, and his skin regained some elasticity.
However, his face still looked old, and his white hair had not regained its former black luster.
Lu Chen understood that this was because the Chaos Tree was still young. Although it could provide some vitality, it was powerless to reverse the damage caused by the laws of time.
"It seems that the Chaos Tree's current power is not enough to completely heal me," Lu Chen said softly, his tone devoid of resentment, but rather carrying a hint of helplessness and self-mockery. "However, at least it has given me a chance to catch my breath."
Upon seeing Lu Chen wake up, Little Golden Ginseng immediately asked with delight, "Boss, how did you get so badly injured before, and why is it related to the laws of time?"
"Yeah, boss, what happened? I feel like you've gotten stronger again, and this aura is so unfamiliar, it doesn't seem to belong to someone from the Taiqing Xuanxian Realm." Little Qiu trotted around, observing Lu Chen from left to right, its eyes full of suspicion...
