Chaos Dao Sheng Jue

Chapter 1089: Oops, I have a stomachache

The sudden change frightened him so much that his whole body trembled, and his heart seemed to jump to his throat instantly. He opened his eyes wide, terrified, and looked around cautiously like a frightened rabbit.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chen's sight fell on a place several dozen meters away.

There, an old man was sitting cross-legged quietly. He looked very old, with a head full of white hair hanging down like silver threads, and his face was old but majestic.

His eyebrows are thick and long, and his deeply sunken eyes are like two deep wells, revealing endless depth and wisdom.

He was wearing a plain grey robe. Although the style was simple, it had an indescribable ancient charm.

What was even more eye-catching was that there was a mysterious and powerful aura emanating from him. Even though Lu Chen had turned into nothingness, it still made him feel a little palpitated.

"It's bad, that old man..."

Lu Chen secretly groaned in his heart, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

At this moment, he saw the old man's eyes, which were originally closed, suddenly opened, and two rays of light burst out from them.

At the same time, the old man's brows were tightly furrowed, forming several deep grooves.

His spiritual consciousness was like a huge invisible spider web, spreading rapidly in all directions with him as the center.

There was a hint of doubt and vigilance in the old man's eyes. It was obvious that he was very confused and puzzled by the abnormal situation he had just noticed.

However, although his spiritual awareness was already very powerful, surprisingly, he still failed to find any clues or abnormalities.

"Strange, this power... is clearly the aura of the Xinglan Soul Tempering Fruit, the trace left after being absorbed by someone, but why can't I find any trace of it even after I turned the entire space upside down?"

The old man murmured to himself with suspicion, his voice low and hoarse, as if it came from the echo of the Nine Nether Hell.

However, what the old man didn't know was that at this moment Lu Chen's heart was already in his throat.

He clearly realized that this old man was no ordinary person and was most likely an elder in charge of guarding the forbidden area, but he just didn't see him just now.

Faced with such a powerful existence, Lu Chen did not dare to be careless at all.

Fortunately, Lu Chen was not a physical entity, but had integrated himself into the Xinglan Soul Tempering Fruit Tree, so he escaped without any danger.

Because, in just a short period of time, the old man's spiritual sense had passed by Lu Chen's location many times, but he seemed not to be aware of his existence.

This made Lu Chen feel a little relieved, but he knew that he had to remain highly vigilant, as his whereabouts might be exposed if he was not careful.

However, Lu Chen soon realized a serious problem and couldn't help thinking:

"It's bad. With this old guy here, how can I pick the Xinglan Soul Tempering Fruit?"

Although Lu Chen could hide in the branches and avoid being discovered by the old man, he could not guarantee that the other party would not discover him if a Xinglan Soul Tempering Fruit disappeared out of thin air.

After thinking it over, Lu Chen still didn't dare to take the risk, so he decided to stay put for the time being. Once the old man left, he would definitely take all the Xinglan Soul Tempering Fruits from him.

As time passed, Lu Chen waited patiently for the old man to leave.

When the old man saw that he didn't notice any clues, he withdrew his spiritual sense, but he had no intention of leaving.

Most of the day passed by in the wait, but the old man still sat there motionless, as if he had merged with the space.

"Damn it, it looks like this old guy won't leave. What should I do? Eh? I have..."

Lu Chen glanced at the old man, then looked at the Xinglan Soul Tempering Fruit in front of him, and immediately had an idea in his mind.

Then, Lu Chen, who turned into nothingness, slowly and silently seeped into the Xinglan Soul-Quenching Fruit in front of him that was emitting a mysterious light, like a gurgling stream.

Then, Lu Chen activated the Chaos Dao Sheng Jue without hesitation. An invisible force surged out of his body, like a greedy beast, directly starting from the core of the Xinglan Soul Tempering Fruit, frantically devouring the essence contained in it.

However, something unexpected happened.

When the essence of the Xinglan Soul-Quenching Fruit flowed into Lu Chen's body, apart from tasting a hint of indescribable sweetness, he did not feel any other changes.

More importantly, his cultivation did not seem to show any signs of breakthrough as a result of absorbing these essences.

"What is going on? Could it be that only by swallowing the entire Xinglan Soul Tempering Fruit can its true effect be exerted? But it shouldn't be like this?" Lu Chen frowned and thought to himself.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen decided to try other Xinglan Soul Tempering Fruits.

So, Lu Chen, who turned into nothingness, followed the tree branch to the place where another Xinglan Soul Tempering Fruit was hanging, and then devoured the essence of it in the same way.

This time, Lu Chen finally felt a warm current that instantly flowed throughout his body.

This discovery immediately made him delighted, and he then continued to move on to other Xinglan Soul Tempering Fruits.

However, what Lu Chen did not realize was that the Xinglan Soul-Quenching Fruit, whose essence he had devoured, was withering at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, the old man who was sitting cross-legged inadvertently noticed something strange and his pupils suddenly shrank.

He had been paying close attention to the movements around him, but ignored the changes in the Xinglan Soul Tempering Fruit itself. When he saw so many Xinglan Soul Tempering Fruits withering one after another.

The old man could no longer sit still. He stood up suddenly, and his aura burst out, with powerful momentum raging.

His domain space almost instantly covered everything within the formation, trying to find the mastermind behind the scenes.

He shouted angrily:

"How dare you be so bold, little thief! If you don't come out, I will find you and make you wish you were dead!"

However, Lu Chen was so absorbed in absorbing the essence of the fruit that he turned a deaf ear to the old man's shouting.

However, just after he absorbed the fifth Star Lan Soul Tempering Fruit into his body, suddenly, an indescribable pain, like a surging tide, suddenly hit him.

The severe pain was like countless steel needles stirring wildly in his abdomen, making his face turn pale as paper in an instant, with beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead.

"Oh no! How could this happen? Did I have a stomachache?" Lu Chen thought to himself, but the situation at the moment didn't allow him to think too much.

He immediately endured the severe pain and communicated with the golden bead world in his body as quickly as possible.

The next second, Lu Chen's body had arrived in the golden bead world, and then fell heavily to the ground.

There was a dull thud, and dust flew up. Lu Chen lay there motionless, as if he had lost all life...
