Buzz!

An overwhelming pressure pressed through the stone wall onto Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's face turned abruptly pale, his knees buckled, and he slowly knelt down toward the ground!

"Bastard!"

With a low curse, Jiang Chen stared fiercely at the stone wall.

Buzz!

A powerful aura emerged from within Jiang Chen, resisting the oppressive force, causing his body to tremble, with sweat seeping from his forehead!

Buzz!

The pressure intensified once again, causing Jiang Chen's body to involuntarily bow downward again.

"Get off me!"

Jiang Chen shouted angrily, his body fiercely springing upward.

Crack! Crackling sound!

The sound of bones dislocating rang out, Jiang Chen stood upright, but his whole body was stained with blood.

Tidal waves of astonishment rose in Jiang Chen's heart, realizing he had been oppressed to the point of bone dislocation without any move being made, having already sustained severe injuries!

What kind of power does this person have!? Are people from the Nether Realm this strong?

Despair floated in Jiang Chen's eyes, knowing that if the other wished to kill him, there would be no escape!

"Are you from the Life Origin Star?"

A voice transmitted from the other side of the stone wall.

Jiang Chen's pupils contracted sharply, he did not answer, steadfastly staring at the stone wall.

"Is Ping'er well?"

Another voice transmission reached Jiang Chen's mind.

Jiang Chen was slightly taken aback, a hint of surprise in his eyes, he communicated back using his Primordial Spirit Power: "You are..."

"I am Ling Zhiping's father."

The voice transmission sounded again, as the pressure on Jiang Chen vanished, leaving only the Primordial Spirit Power locked onto him.

Jiang Chen let out a sigh of relief, clasped his fists toward the stone wall, and said: "Jiang Chen greets the senior, Ling Zhiping is currently at the other end of the passage."

"Let him return, Mr. Jiang. My Fulong Mountain has no intention of meddling with the Life Origin Star. Those who descended on the Life Origin Star… deal with them as you see fit! Just to remind you, three hours ago someone passed through here. I detected someone entering the tomb and that was why I came over. Those five people… Please kill them for me; they've disturbed my wife's peace!"

"Leave here, and do not come again. Once Ping'er returns, I will seal this passage, now go!"

Another voice transmission came, and the Primordial Spirit Power withdrew directly.

Jiang Chen paused for a moment, bowed to the stone wall, and said: "Thank you, senior."

Turning around, Jiang Chen's figure flashed, rushing swiftly into the passage.

Outside the stone wall.

A scholarly man in a long robe glanced at the stone wall, murmuring softly: "This young man is quite interesting!"

...

At the cave entrance.

The Dragon Saint and others waited nervously.

Swish!

A blood-red figure darted out from inside the cave.

"Lord Xue!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

Seeing Jiang Chen, the Dragon Saint and others exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was covered in blood, extremely pale, sweating profusely, with his entire skeleton twisted and deformed.

You Xuan's figure flashed beside Jiang Chen, grabbing his hand to check his injuries.

"I'm fine!"

Jiang Chen lightly waved his hand and shook his whole body.

Crackling!

Jiang Chen's entire skeleton realigned, his complexion gradually turning rosier.

"Mr. Jiang, what happened? Did a strong enemy come?" The Dragon Saint's expression was extremely heavy.

Everyone was taken aback, hastily circulating their Spiritual Energy to the maximum, staring fixedly at the cave entrance.

Everyone was well aware of Jiang Chen's combat capabilities, to have put him in such a sorry state, how strong must the opponent be?!

"No one came over, I..."

Jiang Chen glanced at Ling Zhiping and said softly, "I met Ling Zhiping's father?"

"What? My father!?"

Ling Zhiping exclaimed in surprise.

Buzzing!

A series of powerful auras materialized, pressing on Ling Zhiping's group, with the Dragon Saint and others eyeing them with killing intent!

Ling Zhiping and his group's faces turned pale, their brows tightly knitted, staring straight at Jiang Chen, their lives now hinged on Jiang Chen's words!

"Everyone, don't misunderstand, it was my fault!"

Jiang Chen quickly spoke up: "I shouldn't have investigated the tomb on the other side. That senior was merely disciplining me lightly, had he wished to kill me, I wouldn't have returned!"

The Dragon Saint and others paused for a moment, their expressions changed slightly, and they withdrew their auras.

"Mr. Jiang, did my father find that passage?" Ling Zhiping asked softly.

Jiang Chen nodded: "He probably discovered it long ago. However, according to his words, he doesn't wish to come over."

"Father won't come over. He's always taught me that there should be no shortcuts in cultivation, each step must be firmly rooted, and any shortcut is but a minor path!" Ling Zhiping openly spoke.

Jiang Chen glanced at Ling Zhiping, fell silent for a moment, then took the Bi Xiao Sword from his waist and handed it to Ling Zhiping: "Your father wants you to return."

"This..." Ling Zhiping was stunned for a moment, not expecting Jiang Chen to hand over the Bi Xiao Sword so easily.

Taking the sword, Ling Zhiping bowed to Jiang Chen: "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."

"Go!"

Jiang Chen gestured toward the cave.

Ling Zhiping nodded, leading Ling Wujiang and the other two into the cave.

"Mr. Jiang, just... letting them go like that?" The Supreme Emperor spoke reluctantly.

Jiang Chen looked deeply at the cave, nodded: "Ling Zhiping's father spared me, I cannot repay kindness with enmity. Besides, I promised Ling Zhiping that if they left, they wouldn't be troubled."

"How do we handle this place?" The Dragon Saint pointed to the cave and asked softly.

Jiang Chen sighed: "I checked carefully when I was passing through; the reason why this passage connects two worlds is due to Spatial Overlap in the middle of the passage, and that overlap… I cannot unravel it!"

Pausing for a moment, Jiang Chen turned to the Dragon Saint and Stygian Dragon: "Ling Zhiping's father said he would seal the other side once Ling Zhiping returns, but we can't depend entirely on them. Station someone here, Stygian Dragon senior, you will guard this place. Conveniently, it is near the Flame Dragon Group headquarters, making it easier for you to dispatch people."

"Alright!" Stygian Dragon nodded heavily.

The Dragon Saint looked at Stygian Dragon and said solemnly: "This place is near Jincheng, we can't easily bomb it with missiles. Set up a base here as a permanent station for the Dragon Guardian Squadron!"

"Yes!"

Stygian Dragon saluted and responded loudly.

"Let's continue!" Jiang Chen straightened his clothes and spoke softly.

"Alright!"

Whizzing!

Leaving Stygian Dragon behind, everyone headed towards the next space rift.

In three days, Jiang Chen and the others traveled through all known space rifts in the world, destroying over twenty passages. The remaining twenty-seven passages had stabilized and begun expanding, making them impossible to destroy!

The arrangements were made in the areas around the Flame Dragon and the Holy Court for guarding. The Pope returned to the Holy Court, and Jiang Chen and the others returned to Dingjing.
