Su Chen suddenly said, "Yuerou, try and see if you can summon the white chain again."
He wanted to carefully study the origin of the white chain. The chain was very powerful and its might was comparable to a divine weapon. If he could control it, it would definitely be of help to Lin Yuerou.
Lin Yuerou revealed a bitter expression and said, "Husband, I don't know where the white chain came from. At that time, I only saw that Magma Tiger was injured and a surge of anger welled up in my heart. After that, I don't remember what happened."
Su Chen furrowed his brows and pondered. Could it be that the chain was triggered by Lin Yuerou's emotions and was similar to a self-protection mechanism?
Could Su Chen have guessed wrongly? That mysterious woman didn't want to control Lin Yuerou, but sensed that Lin Yuerou was in danger, so she temporarily occupied Lin Yuerou's consciousness and used her body to attack?
In that case, could it be that the mysterious woman could be awakened through external stimulation?
Su Chen told Lin Yuerou his guess.
Lin Yuerou hurriedly said, "Husband, hit me. Maybe if you hurt me, you'll be able to test the results."
Su Chen blushed with shame. "Silly girl, how could I bear to hit you?"
"It's okay, husband!"
Lin Yuerou said, "If it's a blessing, it's not a curse. If it's a curse, it can't be avoided. Sooner or later, it will come to this. Furthermore, Yuerou was born in the military. I'm not a weak woman."
"Then... bear with it."
Su Chen felt that Lin Yuerou's words made sense. He couldn't avoid what he had to face. The sooner he solved it, the sooner he could feel at ease. The longer he delayed, the harder it would be to deal with it.
Lin Yuerou sat cross-legged in front of Su Chen. She raised her small face and closed her eyes. "Husband, come. Hit me hard. Don't show any mercy."
This request was a little strange …
Su Chen composed himself and condensed his essence force on his palm. He controlled his strength and maintained it at a level that would not harm Lin Yuerou's life. At the same time, he prepared a healing elixir to treat Lin Yuerou at any time.
"Huchi!"
With a gust of wind, Su Chen fiercely slapped Lin Yuerou's delicate face.
When Su Chen's palm was less than ten centimeters away from Lin Yuerou's cheek, the pure white chain once again drilled out of Lin Yuerou's body. With a whoosh, it wrapped around Su Chen's arm, blocking his attack.
Sure enough, it worked!
Su Chen seized the opportunity and grabbed the chain. The power of the divine pattern surged out and firmly fixed the chain and Lin Yuerou's body.
At the same time, Lin Yuerou slowly opened her eyes. Her entire demeanor and aura had undergone an earth-shattering change. Her eyes were cold, and at the same time, there was a hint of indifference and arrogance as she stared at Su Chen.
Just by being stared at by her eyes, Su Chen developed an unbearable sense of fear. This sense of fear was even more terrifying than the demon god's skeleton in the Ancient Sea Mystic Realm. In an instant, Su Chen's entire body was drenched in cold sweat. His consciousness became a little blurry.
Ci la la …
In that moment of distraction, all the divine patterns that Su Chen struck out shattered. The white chain stretched out again and wrapped around Su Chen's arm. In the blink of an eye, it bound Su Chen's entire body. The end of the chain touched the center of Su Chen's forehead and actually drilled into his sea of consciousness.
Oh no!
Su Chen felt that something was amiss. He wanted to resist with all his might but his entire body was unable to exert any strength. He could only watch as the chain entered his sea of consciousness.
But at this moment, a strange rainbow light bloomed in Su Chen's sea of consciousness and bounced the chain out.
It was the Ninth Heaven Sacred Phoenix Feather!
He was actually saved by it.
At the same time, the power of the Sacred Phoenix in Su Chen's body exploded automatically. A layer of dazzling golden light enveloped Su Chen's entire body, allowing him to struggle free from the chains.
'Lin Yuerou' looked at Su Chen with a curious gaze and slowly said, "You're actually the successor of the Sacred Phoenix Race."
"Who exactly are you? What are you trying to do to Yuerou?" Su Chen hurriedly questioned and at the same time, used the power of the Sacred Phoenix to suppress her.
"You don't have to worry. I only chose this body and soul to be my successor. I originally intended to choose you as my successor but your sea of consciousness is firm and I can't penetrate it. So I had to choose someone else."
Was it when they were in Soul Burial Valley?
Su Chen frowned. "What's your name?"
"Name?
I was born in the chaos. I have no parents and no name. But in ancient times, the Demon Race called me the 'Chaos Empress'. You can call me that too. "
"Chaos Empress?
You're a cultivator from ancient times?
Then do you know the secret of the Xuanyuan Continent? Is the Xuanyuan Continent a cage created by the Immortal World? "Su Chen asked.
The Chaos Empress said, "Cage?
Maybe. I don't know how I came to this world but I've tried countless methods to leave this world. I've tried for tens of thousands of years but I still chose to give up in the end. I fell into a long hibernation until you woke me up. "
It was actually true!
Su Chen couldn't accept it for a moment. If the Xuanyuan Continent was really a cage, then no matter how hard he cultivated, he was destined to be unable to escape the sea of suffering and reach the other shore to become a Saint?
"Do you really want to leave this world?" The Chaos Empress asked.
Su Chen was stunned. "Not really. If I didn't know that this world was a huge cage, I would be at ease even if I was a frog at the bottom of a well for the rest of my life. But now that I know the truth, I won't be at ease if I can't find a way to leave this cage."
The Chaos Empress said, "There's only one way to leave this world."
"What is it?"
"Defeat the Seven Treasures Heavenly Lord."
"The Divine Heavens Sect's Sect Master?"
Su Chen was slightly stunned. The Chaos Empress was an existence from ancient times. Even she knew the Seven Treasures Heavenly Lord. Could it be that the Seven Treasures Heavenly Lord also existed in ancient times?
"If this world is a huge prison, then the Seven Treasures Heavenly Lord is the manager of this prison. Only he has the key to leave this prison. Only by defeating him can the entire cage be liberated. But it's very difficult. Back then, the Demon Race conducted a blood sacrifice to ask the Demon Gods of the Upper World to challenge the Seven Treasures Heavenly Lord.
Su Chen fell silent.
There was no way he could play this game.
The Chaos Empress suddenly said, "There's only one way to defeat the Seven Treasures Heavenly Lord — obtain the Heaven-Destroying Sword."
"Uh …"
The Chaos Empress looked at Su Chen. "I can see that you have the power of Heaven-Destroying. This is the entry requirement to obtain the Heaven-Destroying Sword. This is also the reason why I chose to reside in your body first. Are you willing to take on this heavy responsibility?"
"That's a little too much … but I like it. I, Su Chen, am a brave man who loves to take risks!" Su Chen said with a smile.
"I hope you won't disappoint me."
The Chaos Empress said, "As a reward, I will guide Lin Yuerou with all my heart and nurture her into a powerful cultivator. This is the only thing I can do now."
As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Yuerou's aura began to fade rapidly. Her body went limp and she collapsed into Su Chen's arms.
