Crack! Crack! Crack!
Sounds of tearing came from Qin Chen's body as he was violently shaken by the chaos qi.
However, gritting his teeth, Qin Chen gradually moved forward.
The chaotic tides surged relentlessly before him, making it feel as though he had fallen into a world of countless erupting volcanoes.
With each step, it was as if he was stepping through time and space, facing immense difficulty with every move he made. Yet he remained resolute, with no reason to retreat.
Boom! The attacks from Myriad Meteor Earth Venerable and others dissipated in the void. At this moment, Qin Chen had already ventured deep into nine thousand five hundred miles, and their attacks were utterly powerless against the chaotic tides at such a distance.
In fact, if they forced an attack, they would be directly blasted away by the chaotic tides rushing toward them, leaving the area of the Dark Star. Therefore, they could only suppress their rage and also move forward.
"Little beast, even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I will slay you!"
Myriad Meteor Earth Venerable and Nine Peaks Venerable trudged towards Qin Chen, shouting at him as he drew closer to the whirlpool.
They were not only seeking revenge but also trying to retrieve the Ten Thousand Star Bell and the Heavenly Drum from their forces. Otherwise, losing these two treasures would make them the sinners of the Star God Palace and Great Cosmic Mountain.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
As the chaos whirlpool appeared, many people sensed something was amiss. Abyss Soul Earth Venerable and others stood up and moved toward here.
They had comprehended a lot in this eight thousand mile region over several days, but had never felt they could enter the Dark Star. Now, seeing Qin Chen and Mo Li recklessly approaching the chaos whirlpool and getting so close, they could no longer hold back and took action.
The powerful beings of all races were approaching the Dark Star.
Without a doubt, Qin Chen was the closest.
Crack! His body teetered in the chaotic tides, and numerous gashes began to appear on him. The rolling primordial chaos source was being absorbed by the Azure Chaos Lotus in his mind, but it was still too late to stop the impact of the chaos source.
His dragon body was on the verge of shattering.
“Hang in there, human boy.”
Primordial Ancestral Dragon said nervously.
He could sense that Qin Chen's body had reached its limit. The chaos whirlpool was already extremely close to him, with only a small distance left to cross.
But at this point, Qin Chen's footsteps halted, unable to advance even a fraction.
“Ah!”
Qin Chen roared as the true dragon scales on his body began to shatter piece by piece.
The chaotic tides were terrifying; even someone as powerful as Qin Chen was nearing his limit. If it weren't for the Azure Chaos Lotus suppressing him, he would have already been reduced to dust.
What?
Outside, many were aghast. They had witnessed Qin Chen's strength before, and if even he was on the verge of collapse, how terrifying were these chaotic tides?
“No!”
Qin Chen felt as if his body would completely shatter. He had a feeling that if he truly entered the chaos whirlpool, he would be torn to pieces in an instant, reduced to ashes.
Moreover, intuitively, a strong sense of crisis enveloped his mind, as if something incredibly terrifying lurked within the chaos whirlpool, ready to devour him the moment he stepped inside.
I can't go in, absolutely not.
This instinctive feeling echoed in Qin Chen's mind.
It made his heart race; it was an instinct he trusted immensely. It had saved him countless times before. Could it be that within this chaotic whirlpool lay a danger he couldn't withstand?
Retreat! Qin Chen’s heart was resolute.
This was the foundation of his survival. If it weren't for this intuition, he would have died many times over in the heavenly realm.
Just as Qin Chen prepared to withdraw, suddenly, within the chaos whirlpool, a figure vaguely emerged.
It was an incredibly graceful figure, her face obscured, yet resembling an ethereal orchid in a secluded valley, or a dark lotus blooming in the abyss—pure and giving Qin Chen a strong sense of familiarity.
