Chapter 5458: "Uninspired Name" 🥱

Published: January 22, 2025

As the cold voice of Withered Nether echoed, two figures suddenly blocked the path of Qin Chen and his companions!

“Huh?” Upon seeing the two in front of him, Qin Chen's gaze immediately fell on the Cloaked Man beside Withered Nether.

Strange, why does this person's aura feel so familiar to me?

Didn’t I have any acquaintances in the Underworld?

Thinking about it, an invisible eye of creation blossomed between Qin Chen's brows, enveloping the Cloaked Man.

At the same time, the Cloaked Man shuddered upon seeing Qin Chen, an inexplicable sense of crisis flooding his mind, causing his entire soul to tremble involuntarily.

“What... is going on? Why does my body react so strongly upon encountering this Underworld guy?”

Mo Li's mind was shaken as he couldn't help but look up at Qin Chen. This feeling was something he had only ever experienced with one person in his life.

“Could it be that guy?”

An absolutely impossible thought surged into his mind, causing Mo Li to tremble inexplicably, fixating his gaze on Qin Chen.

No, absolutely not.

This Underworld ghost cultivator was extremely unfamiliar in appearance, exuding a terrifying aura of death. Yet, for some reason, upon seeing this person, Mo Li's divine soul trembled uncontrollably.

It’s him!

It must be him.

At that moment, Mo Li's body shook, and he felt strangely weak, his legs turning a bit soft.

It was that guy; that unique aura was unmistakable, even if the other party turned to ash, he would still sense it.

However, how could that guy be here when he was clearly in the cosmic sea?

“Hehe.”

Seeing the constriction of Mo Li’s pupils, Qin Chen’s eye of creation instantly discerned his essence. A rich demonic energy lay hidden within him, bubbling like a boiling demonic pool—unbelievably familiar.

Mo Li!

It’s actually this guy; he actually came to the Underworld?

And with just one glance, Qin Chen could tell that although Mo Li appeared lifeless, it was merely a facade; the strength at his core still came from the demonic source of the cosmic sea. Others couldn’t see through it, but could Qin Chen not?

This kid really is fated to be connected with me.

Qin Chen’s gaze flickered, and he couldn’t help but slightly grin at Mo Li.

“Damn it, this guy recognized me.”

Mo Li shivered all over, nearly scared out of his wits. Seeing the smile at the corner of Qin Chen's mouth, he felt as if he had seen a devil, his hair standing on end.

“It’s over, it’s really over.” Mo Li trembled inwardly.

“Mo Li, what’s wrong?”

Inside Mo Li, the Lohou Demon Ancestor sensed his abnormality and couldn’t help but ask.

“Qin Chen, that guy is Qin Chen.” Mo Li transmitted fearfully.

“Qin Chen? That kid from the cosmic sea? Mo Li, are you mistaken?” Lohou Demon Ancestor looked bewildered.

Why does Mo Li look like he’s seen a ghost?

“That kid is clearly in the cosmic sea; how could he come here? Besides, he just barely broke through to transcendence; this guy’s strength is not to be underestimated.” Though Lohou Demon Ancestor had lost his physical body, his basic judgment remained. Seeing how the two subordinates of the judge demon king were trembling in front of this guy, he knew that he was definitely not ordinary.

Perhaps he was a big shot in the Underworld.

Could such a person really be the kid from the cosmic sea? It didn’t seem possible.

“No, it’s him, it’s definitely him. I could recognize him even if he turned to ash. What kind of bad luck is this? How could I encounter this kid in the Underworld? This is troublesome; this is really troublesome.”

Mo Li was terrified, shaking all over. Whenever he encountered Qin Chen in the mortal realm, it had never led to anything good. Would he be tricked again this time?

If it weren’t for fearing that Withered Nether might notice something, Mo Li would have turned to run far away from there.

Naturally, Withered Nether noticed Mo Li's expression; this guy was indeed a newcomer. Blocking two subordinates of the judge demon king and being this scared; he had no guts at all.
