Chapter 2123
Your Majesty, You Can't Seize This Opportunity
Thinking of this, Lu Chen did not hesitate and jumped directly into the center of the black vortex.
Seeing this, Ji Yunmeng, who was still standing on the side, was stunned.
She didn't expect that Lu Chen would be even more anxious than she was.
At that moment, the voice in her mind urged her to jump down quickly and not let Lu Chen succeed.
Although she didn't know why the voice sounded so panicked, Ji Yunmeng had a premonition that if Lu Chen obtained the things inside the ruins, she would be completely reduced to Lu Chen's plaything for the rest of her life.
Immediately, Ji Yunmeng also jumped down.
After Lu Chen jumped into the vortex, he immediately felt an endless malice attacking him, and the surrounding evil spirits formed tornadoes that swept towards him, constantly washing over his body, and his life force was rapidly draining away.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have been dried up by now.
Unfortunately, he was no ordinary person. His life force was recovering rapidly. Most importantly, he possessed the Netherworld Body, which meant that these evil spirits could not harm him but could instead help him cultivate.
Lu Chen could clearly feel his strength slowly increasing.
Standing within the tornado formed by the evil spirits, Lu Chen let out a long breath and couldn't help but shout, "That felt great!"
However, Lu Chen's words seemed to provoke the guardians of the ruins.
The next moment, countless skeletons flew in from afar, crashing straight down on Lu Chen.
Lu Chen walked unhurriedly toward the skeletons. Just as the skeletons were about to smash into Lu Chen, he instantly released his Heavenly Realm pressure, and the spiritual energy on his body burst out, annihilating all the skeletons.
This ruin is like a chaotic world, boundless and without any path.
Lu Chen looked around, trying to find out where the so-called ancient heritage was, but no matter which direction he looked, it was empty, with only a thick aura of eeriness.
At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly thought of the Rebirth Stone, and he immediately took it out of the system space.
The moment the Rebirth Stone was taken out, it emitted a seven-colored light, illuminating the entire chaotic space.
The next moment, the Rebirth Stone released a faint ray of light, which pointed to Lu Chen's right. Lu Chen knew that the Rebirth Stone was guiding him, so he immediately ran in the direction indicated by the Rebirth Stone.
If he can come in, then Ji Yunmeng can come in too.
He must seal the memories of the eerie progenitor before Ji Yunmeng does.
Inside the chaotic space, Lu Chen ran for two whole hours before finally seeing a huge wall formed by the condensation of evil spirits.
A sliver of light shone through the cracks in the wall.
At this moment, the Rebirth Stone also emitted an extremely strong seven-colored light, which proved that the memories of the strange progenitor were sealed in front of it.
Lu Chen rushed over without hesitation.
The eerie wall did not hinder Lu Chen; he simply crashed into it.
After stepping over the wall of evil spirits, Lu Chen saw the scene behind it.
A black bead floated on the altar behind the wall, sealed with a strong, eerie power. Sensing Lu Chen's appearance, the black bead suddenly began to tremble, as if trying to escape the altar.
Upon noticing this, Lu Chen did not hesitate and quickly released his spiritual energy to activate the Rebirth Stone, preparing to seal the bead.
But just then, Ji Yunmeng suddenly appeared next to Lu Chen.
The black bead shot off the altar and flew towards Ji Yunmeng. Just as it was about to enter Ji Yunmeng's forehead, Lu Chen immediately released his aura and then struck out with a palm, sending Ji Yunmeng flying. Don't blame him for hitting his wife; if the bead really fused with Ji Yunmeng, he'd be in real trouble.
Lu Chen acted too quickly, and Ji Yunmeng didn't have time to react before being blasted out of the Ghostly Wall by Lu Chen's palm.
Immediately, Lu Chen poured all his spiritual energy into the Rebirth Stone. The seven-colored light emitted by the Rebirth Stone transformed into a giant net, which directly captured the black bead. Then, he pulled the net in, dragging the bead toward the Rebirth Stone.
In order to prevent the Rebirth Stone from sealing itself, the black bead continuously released its power. Waves of eerie black energy spread out from the black bead like ripples, and the pure eerie energy made Lu Chen's body feel very uncomfortable.
Although the Ghostly Fiend and the Power of the Strange are very similar, the Ghostly Fiend is not a pure power of the strange. Lu Chen's body can easily resist the erosion of the Ghostly Fiend, but it may not be able to withstand pure power of the strange.
Just then, Ji Yunmeng burst in from behind the wall again and saw that Lu Chen seemed to be trying to seal the black bead with the stone that emitted seven-colored light.
Ji Yunmeng attacked Lu Chen without hesitation. The voice in her mind told her that if Lu Chen really sealed the black bead, then she would be completely finished.
She believed her intuition was right; Lu Chen had ulterior motives and must know something, which was why he was preventing her from touching the black bead.
The spiritual energy on Ji Yunmeng gathered together, forming a giant palm that slammed towards Lu Chen.
At this moment, Lu Chen was activating the Rebirth Stone and could not do two things at once.
Seeing that the giant hand was about to strike Lu Chen, Lu Chen had no choice but to take out the Heavenly Tribulation Soil and activate it to envelop himself.
When the spiritual energy on Ji Yunmeng came into contact with the earth sphere formed by the Heavenly Tribulation Soil, it was instantly absorbed by the Heavenly Tribulation Soil.
Seeing this, Ji Yunmeng was stunned for a moment. At this moment, Lu Chen's voice came from the earthen ball: "Your Majesty, if you can't seize such an opportunity, you should give it to me."
Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, Ji Yunmeng immediately flew into a rage.
She then activated the spiritual energy within her body once more, striking the earth sphere formed from the Heavenly Tribulation Soil with palm strike after palm strike.
No matter how hard she tried, the spiritual energy she released was absorbed by the Heavenly Tribulation Soil, and it couldn't harm Lu Chen inside the Heavenly Tribulation Soil at all.
As time passed, Ji Yunmeng clearly noticed that the voice in her mind was getting weaker, and she felt that something was drifting away from her.
Ji Yunmeng then threatened, "If you don't give me that bead, I will never let you touch it again."
Ji Yunmeng was out of options. Since she couldn't hurt Lu Chen, she could only threaten him with these kinds of words.
Hearing Ji Yunmeng's words, Lu Chen couldn't help but laugh.
He said from inside the earthen sphere, "Your Majesty, once this memory bead is sealed, you will be my woman forever, and then you will have no say in the matter."
Ji Yunmeng instantly grasped the key words in Lu Chen's words.
Memory beads!
Lu Chen knew what the bead was, and judging from his words, it was very important to him.
No, we can't let Lu Chen get that black bead.
Ji Yunmeng then burned all her blood and qi, and a violent pressure instantly enveloped the entire chaotic space.
She regretted that she had forgotten to bring her weapon when she came in, and now she could only dismantle the earthen ball with her bare hands.
Ji Yunmeng, burning with her vital energy, once again activated her spiritual energy, attempting to blast open the earthen sphere.
Even though she burned her blood and qi, she was still helpless against that earthen ball.
At this moment, a roaring female voice suddenly came from inside the earthen sphere: "Lu Chen!!! Once I break through the seal, I will tear you to pieces!!!" (End of this chapter)
