Chapter 772: Chapter 772: Lu Chen Awakens, Same Realm but Greatly Increased Strength!

"With the situation in the Eastern Domain being unclear, how come there are still cultivators walking within the Abyss?"

Since Qin Yaotiao feared her realm would scare away Chu Zhongtian, she also intentionally restrained it.

Furthermore, as she possesses a Sky-Connected Physique, the Spiritual Power within her can have attributes, or none at all, and can even transform into any kind of Spiritual Power attribute, making it impossible for Chu Zhongtian to discern that it was actually Qin Yaotiao from the aura.

Qin Yaotiao herself also lacked the experience and similarly couldn’t differentiate Chu Zhongtian’s Spiritual Power aura.

Under such circumstances, neither knew who the other was.

Qin Yaotiao lacked a clear destination at this time, her mind solely focused on leading Chu Zhongtian elsewhere.

Chu Zhongtian, on the other hand, developed a bit of suspicion towards Qin Yaotiao and also thought of following her to gather some information.

Whether it was about the situation inside the Abyss or outside it.

Right now, with no knowledge at all, all he could do was try to gather as much information as possible.

But how much better off was Qin Yaotiao really?

Both can be said to have "their own scheming."

Qin Yaotiao deliberately slowed down her pace, while Chu Zhongtian dared not to follow too closely.

But the Abyss is so vast, in fact, most ancient beasts have hidden within it, all for that passage leading to the Spirit World...

Time passed, unknowingly.

Lu Chen finally felt his Nascent Soul had completely integrated the Demon Pupil into his body!

But the aura on the Nascent Soul had also changed.

One half was emanating Demon Qi, while the other half was Chaos Spirit Power.

And the Demon Qi was extremely pure, ancient Demon Qi!

This was starkly different from the Demon Qi emitted by any of the demonic beasts Lu Chen had encountered before, whether in the Abyss or outside!

"Let’s hope nothing goes wrong this time," Lu Chen murmured, and then slowly opened his eyes.

The demonic power that had enshrouded his body had all disappeared, and Lu Chen knew it had been absorbed by his body, a result of the Nascent Soul.

However, he was still entwined by the Xuanming Ice Snake.

"Hiss—"

Sensing that Lu Chen had awakened, the Xuanming Ice Snake also opened its eyes, raised its head, pushed away the soil it was buried in, and then looked towards Lu Chen with a joyful hissing sound.

"Xiao Bai, it was you who protected me," Lu Chen revealed a smile, and then asked, "What about Chu Zhongtian?"

"Hiss—"

The Xuanming Ice Snake brought Lu Chen to the surface and hissed again.

This time, Lu Chen was surprised to find that he could understand its meaning!

"Chu Zhongtian went to the Abyss!"

Lu Chen stood in place, stunned, without any reply for a long time, his heart unsettled.

After a while, he regained his senses and asked, "The Abyss is vast, where did he go?"

"He went to seek Qin Yaotiao! We thought only she could save you!"

"Yaotiao..."

Murmuring the name, Lu Chen knew that if he had not awakened, Qin Yaotiao indeed would have been the only one likely to save him.

It was unexpected that both the Xuanming Ice Snake and Chu Zhongtian could see that.

Giving a wry smile, Lu Chen said, "How much time has passed then?"

"Over a month!"

Although the Xuanming Ice Snake lacked the human-like intelligence, it still remembered the passage of time by observing the sun and the moon.

"That long!"

Lu Chen’s gaze sharpened as he said, "Did Chu Zhongtian return at all during this period?"

The Xuanming Ice Snake shook its head.

"Has there been any change within the Abyss?"

The Xuanming Ice Snake still shook its head.

"Let’s hope nothing has happened to him," Lu Chen took a deep breath, looked towards the direction of the Abyss, and said, "Let’s go too!"

At this moment, Lu Chen felt that his body was brimming with an inexhaustible amount of Spiritual Power and demonic power.

The Heavenly Inquiry Spear was still in his palm, and even the Nascent Soul was gripping the materialized Dao platform spear!

He had not felt any increase in realm, yet he was clearly aware that his strength had greatly increased!

If he were to encounter another ancient beast, Lu Chen had absolute confidence that he could slay one within ten breaths!

Apart from his own combat power, there was also the Earth Fire!

The Earth Fire fused with the Ice-Strange Fire, unpredictable and ever-changing. Forget ancient beasts—if he were to encounter a cultivator at the peak of Nascent Soul’s late stage, Lu Chen wouldn’t feel the slightest fear!

"Xiao Bai, let’s go!"

Lu Chen surged into the air, waved his hand, and the Xuanming Ice Snake quickly shrank in size, sliding into the sleeve of Lu Chen!

A short time later, a teacup’s duration to be exact, Lu Chen had already arrived at the entrance of the Abyss.

"Let’s check out the Thin Sky first."

His gaze fell into the Abyss, as if he could see the location of the Thin Sky.
