Chapter 776: Chapter 776: Defend Against Nascent Soul, Kill the Beasts!

Before Lu Chen could fully react, those Nascent Soul cultivators had already engaged in fierce battle with the ancient beasts!

In the dark and silent depths of the Heavenly Abyss, a tragic fight erupted above!

The beasts roared furiously, clashing continually with the myriad-colored streams of Spiritual Power.

Lu Chen didn’t even dare to breathe loudly as he descended toward the bottom of the Heavenly Abyss.

By the time he landed completely, the collision between Spiritual Power and demonic power had already determined the first victor.

It was a draw.

A Nascent Soul cultivator and an ancient beast fell from the sky, landing above the deep recesses!

Lu Chen kept his eyes on that area, and his Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique immediately perceived something, prompting a plan in his mind.

Neither the beast nor the cultivator were aware of death’s approach; he could go take a look and inquire about the situation on his way.

No sooner said than done, Lu Chen flew close to the ground, at an extremely fast speed.

With the precision of the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, he quickly located the landing site, and soon he heard the sounds of battle!

The fallen cultivator was still entangled in battle with the beast!

The cultivator was muttering curses, seemingly to spur himself on, but his breathless voice revealed he had sustained serious internal injuries, and was thus rallying himself to survive.

Turning his attention to the beast, Lu Chen was shocked.

He could actually understand the meaning behind the beast’s growls; it was constantly cursing the cultivator in front and also expressing concern about its own physical condition from time to time.

"How can I understand the language of beasts?"

Lu Chen was astonished, and after careful thought, he guessed that it must be related to his Demon Pupil, recalling how he could clearly understand the meanings behind the hisses of the Xuanming Ice Snake named Xiao Bai.

"Without a doubt, it’s the Demon Pupil!"

Lu Chen calmed his thoughts, and from the beast’s growling, he could tell that it too was struggling to hold on.

"From this, it seems these ancient beasts are not so difficult to deal with!"

Previously, Lu Chen couldn’t understand the beasts’ roars, knowing only their fury.

Now that he could comprehend their language, he had gained some insight.

"But... what about the human side?"

At this moment, Lu Chen wasn’t worried about the beasts.

Instead, he was concerned about the human cultivators.

Success upon success was the human race’s inherent flaw. These cultivators from other domains must have come to the Eastern Domain with selfish intentions.

The likeliest possibility was naturally to head for the passage to the Spirit World.

This was news Lu Chen had known while he was in the Central Domain.

Now, these cultivators were also gathering together in the Heavenly Abyss, and considering the situation observed across the Eastern Domain, it seemed they weren’t concerned about the destruction of the ordinary sects.

Lu Chen saw through their self-interest.

"Huff—"

Lu Chen exhaled a breath of stale air and finally made a decision in his heart.

"No matter what, those not of my kind will surely have different hearts! Moreover, these ancient beasts are the sworn enemies of my Hatetian Clan! Even if they pass through here to the Spirit World, we are bound to encounter them again in the future!"

Having made up his mind, Lu Chen decided to first aid the human cultivator and kill the beast before anything else!

If there’s a chance, he would then ascend to the top of the Heavenly Abyss and listen to what these beasts had to say!

Once decided, Lu Chen had no other distractions. Seeing the beast suddenly burst out with Demon Qi, he knew this was the perfect moment to make his move!

"Heavenly Inquiry Spear!"

Lu Chen shouted as he leapt into the air, spear in hand, arriving in the blink of an eye!

Teleportation!

He instantaneously appeared before the beast, thrusting his Heavenly Inquiry Spear forward relentlessly!

Strike at the heart!

The tip of the Heavenly Inquiry Spear erupted with a terrifying demonic power, even more fearsome than that of the beast itself!

The original demonic power of the beast was instantly suppressed.

At the same time, the human cultivator who was ready to counterattack stood frozen on the spot, his face soon revealing joy!

Lu Chen’s aura was fully unleashed, revealing the full might of the Nascent Soul Stage!

"Thank you, fellow Daoist, for your assistance!"

He beamed with joy and, seeing that Lu Chen was a stranger, gathered the Spiritual Power he had prepared back into his body!

Suffering from severe injuries, conserving some strength was naturally better.

Then,

he saw Lu Chen’s Heavenly Inquiry Spear thunderously pierce into the beast’s body!

"Absorb!"

The Daoist spear within the Heavenly Inquiry Spear had already fully merged with Lu Chen’s Nascent Soul, and he commanded it as easily as his own limb!

In an instant, the overwhelming Demon Qi surged along the spear, flowing continuously into the Heavenly Inquiry Spear!

"This person... can actually command demonic power? Could he be the legendary Immaculate Dao Body? But wasn’t it said that Kong Wu of the Haotian Sect is dead? His age seems similar, but it’s impossible to have broken through from the Foundation Establishment Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage in such a short period of time! Could it be... he possesses some supreme treasure?"
