Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1560 Reunion

Lu Chen took a deep breath and slowly injected his divine essence into Fang Xinyi's body.

That pure and powerful force, like a gentle stream, nourished her parched life force.

He knew that, under these circumstances, only by relying on the power of the Chaos Tree could he save Fang Xinyi.

At the same time, Lu Chen secretly communicated with the Chaos Tree in the Golden Pearl World.

Immediately, wisps of vibrant energy emanated from the void, quickly merging into Lu Chen's body and then flowing into Fang Xinyi's body through his hands.

As divine energy and life force continued to flow in, the crescent-shaped mark on Fang Xinyi's forehead gradually brightened, and her breathing became more stable. Her complexion regained some color from its paleness, her eyelids trembled slightly, and she finally slowly opened her eyes.

Upon waking, Fang Xinyi briefly explained the state of her internal energy and immediately understood what was going on. She already knew about Lu Chen possessing the Chaos Tree in the Golden Pearl World, and expressed her gratitude:

"Thank you, Lu Chen. If it weren't for you, I probably would already be..."

Lu Chen smiled slightly and shook his head: "Don't talk anymore, focus on recovering your divine energy first."

Fang Xinyi nodded slightly, "Then what should we do next? The pursuers could find us at any time."

Lu Chen pondered for a moment, then looked into the distance. "We must leave this place as soon as possible."

Fang Xinyi had no objection upon hearing this, but just as they were preparing to take action...

Gu Tingyuan gave a wry smile. "You all go, I'll cover your retreat."

"How can we do that!" Fang Xinyi exclaimed. "How can we abandon you?"

Since she had chosen to accept Gu Tingyuan, Fang Xinyi would treat him as an outsider.

Lu Chen walked up to Gu Tingyuan. "Let's do it together. If you die, who will finish the rest of your atonement?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Tingyuan stopped arguing and said, "Then... alright."

So the three of them began to carefully move forward along the mountain range. In the morning light, their figures looked so determined, as if no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, they could not stop them from moving forward.

As they traveled, Lu Chen would occasionally look back at Gu Tingyuan's condition, silently plotting how to use the power of the Chaos Tree to help him recover from his injuries.

To be honest, if Gu Tingyuan hadn't offered to cover his retreat earlier, Lu Chen really wouldn't have cared about his life or death.

So Lu Chen took the initiative to inquire:

"Old Gu, are you sure you've shaken off the pursuers from the north?"

Gu Tingyuan was taken aback when he heard this. He didn't expect Lu Chen to address him like that. He felt a lot of relief, but he didn't turn around: "Of the eighteen Dao Integration Realm cultivators, six died, four were seriously injured, and the remaining eight chased in the wrong direction."

He spoke calmly, as if he were saying that the weather was nice today.

But Lu Chen knew that it was already a stroke of luck to escape from one Dao Integration Realm pursuer, let alone eighteen.

He remained silent for a moment, without asking about the details.

Some things don't need to be asked.

Just then, two streaks of light pierced the morning mist on the eastern horizon!

Lu Chen was startled and instinctively summoned his greatsword to slay the god.

But the flames came too fast, so fast that before he could even stand up, they were already in front of him!

boom!

A blood-covered figure crashed three zhang away, creating a large crater in the ground!

In the pit, Nezha lay sprawled out, his three-headed, six-armed form reduced to three heads and four arms. He had at least twenty wounds on his body, the most fatal being a slash that cut diagonally from his right shoulder to his left waist, almost splitting him in two. His Fire-Tipped Spear was broken into three pieces and scattered at the bottom of the pit.

But he is still alive.

Those eyes were still bright, and the moment they saw Lu Chen, they grinned, revealing blood-stained teeth:

"Hey...I've wiped out all the pursuers..."

Lu Chen was stunned.

Five people were chasing him, and he killed them all?

Nezha grinned, trying to laugh, but coughed up a mouthful of golden blood: "Don't...don't make that face...I'm a lotus incarnation...I won't die..."

As he spoke, he struggled to get up, but the movement aggravated his wound, causing him to groan and lie back down.

Lu Chen stared at Nezha's miserable state for a long time without saying a word.

When they emerged from the forbidden land of Nirvana, the four of them, though severely injured, were still able to walk and fight.

One night passed.

The four had dwindled to three and a half; Nezha was simply too badly injured.

“You…” Lu Chen’s voice was a little hoarse.

"Stop talking nonsense." Nezha lay in the pit, gazing at the sky that was beginning to brighten. "The most exhilarating battle I've ever fought in my life... was last night... It was worth it..."

Lu Chen helped Nezha up, quickly checked him with his divine sense, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was truly out of danger.

"Let's go, we can't waste time here."

"Where to?" Nezha asked.

“Go west.” Lu Chen pointed to the continuous mountain range to the west. “It’s easier to hide there.”

Nezha grinned: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Lu Chen did not answer.

Fang Xinyi and Gu Tingyuan naturally had no objections, so the group set off again.

Behind them, in the ruins of the rocky hill, the corpses began to weather and dissipate.

In the wind, the whispers of the pursuers could be faintly heard.

"They went west..."

"Chase……"

"We can't let them get away..."

The four of them did not turn back, but instead transformed into several streaks of light and headed west.

I don't know how long it took.

It could be one hour, or it could be two.

Just then, the alert Lu Chen suddenly used his divine sense to send a telepathic message to the others, signaling them to stop.

"Something's up." Lu Chen's voice was low, and the others immediately looked ahead warily.

Ahead lay an open field, at the far end of which stood an abandoned palace.

The palace door was half-open, and it was pitch black inside, so you couldn't see anything.

Above the abandoned palace, a figure stood with his back to them, suspended in mid-air.

The person was wearing a moon-white long dress, with long hair flowing down her back, and her figure looked somewhat familiar.

Fang Xinyi trembled violently when she saw that figure from behind.

"That is……"

At this moment, the person slowly turned their head.

A stunningly beautiful face, with a faint, compassionate smile.

It was Ah Yue!

Fang Xinyi exclaimed, "You...you weren't already..."

"Disappeared?" A-Yue smiled gently. "It disappeared, but it's back."

She flew closer, her moon-white dress fluttering gently in the morning breeze.

"I borrowed the last power of the Abyss of Reincarnation and left a wisp of remnant in the heart of the Nirvana Pool."

"Because there is still one thing that hasn't been done."

She looked at Lu Chen with a complicated expression.

He then asked:

"You saw the causal threads that person left behind, didn't you?"

Lu Chen nodded silently upon hearing this.

"That's good." A-Yue sighed softly. "That line, I should have been the one to sever it back then."

She flew close to Lu Chen and gently placed her hand on the almost invisible filament of light on Lu Chen's little finger.

"I'll help you settle this final karmic debt."

As soon as he finished speaking, the light suddenly shone brightly!

A blinding white light surged in like a tide, engulfing everything.

Lu Chen felt his body being peeled away; it wasn't death, but rather being pulled from reality by some force that transcended time and space.

He "saw" his body still standing in the same place, his consciousness seemingly entering another void space.

This space has no sky, no earth, no up or down, no direction, only a ray of light.

The almost invisible line of cause and effect extending from the little finger became incredibly clear at this moment.

It was like a luminous river, winding its way from his fingertips into the depths of nothingness, disappearing into the distance beyond the reach of sight.

"You've arrived."

Just then, a voice came from behind...
