Chapter 6569 Origin of the Crack

A giant spatial crack loomed ahead of them, vomiting endless waves of black qi. Wherever that black qi went, life withered. Even the blessed land couldn’t handle its corrosive touch.

Fortunately, the laws of the nine heavens and ten lands slowed its spread. At least, people had enough time to flee.

However, cities, sects, and immortal caves along its path were swallowed whole, reduced to ash and ruin.

“Ah, we’ve arrived!”

Little Crane opened her eyes and immediately flew out of Long Chen’s embrace. Transforming into a Rainbow Crane, she flew toward the black qi with the other Rainbow Cranes.

“Careful, that’s pure Yin qi!” the white-robed Long Chen warned.

After he stood up, he rather worriedly followed them.

The Rainbow Cranes switched their flying formation and started to sing. Their melody rippled through the heavens. When their radiant light collided with the black qi, a miraculous sight unfolded.

The deathly Yin qi—capable of devouring every trace of life—dissolved on contact. It was purified.

As the flock of Rainbow Cranes flew in the sky, their auspicious qi spread to the surroundings. The land and sky were purified. The area that the black qi was covering rapidly shrank.

Countless people cheered as they watched this. But then, they spotted the white-robed Long Chen.

“Heavens, isn’t that the devil who possessed Long Chen?!”

“I heard that he personally destroyed a Brahma holy land and even beat one of the eight divine commanders—Long Can.”

“Apparently, a Divine Sovereign from the divine clans appeared toward the end, but Long Chen still managed to escape.”

“He slaughtered countless experts in the heaven region’s battlefield, including his fellow experts from the nine heavens!”

“Most of the battlefield’s experts died because of him! That’s a major calamity. The world wants his head!”

“The dragon race, violet blood race, and High Firmament Academy are surrounded by people demanding they hand him over. But here he is!”

“Long Chen is possessed by something. He doesn’t even care about the survival of his own Dragonblood Legion anymore. Everyone here has confirmed it. He is now a devil that will kill anyone in his way, so it is our duty to kill him.”

“But look, he’s with the Rainbow Cranes. If he were a devil... how do you explain that?”

Countless people whispered amongst themselves. The destruction of the heaven region’s battlefield was a major affair, and plenty of survivors had witnessed it.

Some smart people had already fled far away the moment they learned that the Heaven Earth Cauldron and the Heavenly Devil Zither had appeared. While everyone else was fighting, they had taken that chance to look for any final treasures. In the end, they managed to survive without seeing Long Chen.

However, many people had witnessed the white-robed Long Chen wielding Evilmoon and chasing down the Heaven Earth Cauldron. As a result, every survivor was bringing back shocking news: Long Chen had personally destroyed the heaven region’s battlefield.

Just as these reports came in and people were questioning their veracity, another shocking piece of news shook the world: Long Chen had personally destroyed the Brahma holy land, suppressed one of the eight divine commanders, and escaped in front of a Divine Sovereign.

The entire world was in an uproar. The news spread like wildfire, and all kinds of rumors were flying about now.

For this white-robed Long Chen to appear now left them perplexed. How were they supposed to explain that “the devil who was trying to destroy the world” was with the auspicious Rainbow Crane race?

As the Rainbow Cranes flew, their auspicious qi purified the deathly Yin qi. The world gradually cleared up.

However, more of this black qi continued to gush out of that crack. Even as the rest of it cleared up, the crack did not shrink. Furthermore, Little Crane and the others were starting to grow weary.

After the white-robed Long Chen sensed the crack, ignored the black qi and walked right into the spatial crack.

“Big Brother Long Chen, wait for me! I want to take a look too!”

Just then, Little Crane transformed back into a girl and ran over, holding Long Chen’s hand.

“I’ll take a look first. It’s very dangerous inside!” warned Long Chen strictly.

“I’m not afraid. With Big Brother Long Chen here, I’m not afraid of anything!” Little Crane refused to leave and looked at Long Chen with a pleading gaze.

Even the white-robed Long Chen was unable to harden his heart enough to reject her. He nodded but said, “Once we’re inside, don’t let go of my hand.”

“Yes!” Little Crane nodded obediently. She was happy to be with the white-robed Long Chen.

The white-robed Long Chen formed one-handed seals, and black chains weaved through space, forming a bridge. This bridge contained its own laws. It tore through the Yin qi and formed a safe passageway.

“Wow, Big Brother Long Chen is amazing!” Little Crane exclaimed, looking at him worshipfully.

The white-robed Long Chen’s heart shook when he heard her completely innocent praise. He wondered to himself, How can such a pure and good lifeform exist in this world?

The white-robed Long Chen held Little Crane’s hand and walked into the spatial channel through the bridge. This pure Yin qi was of no threat to him, but Little Crane looked a bit tired, so he was helping her out.

The other Rainbow Cranes were still purifying the black qi gushing out of the crack. But Long Chen and Little Crane had walked inside of it.

“As expected, the heaven region’s battlefield is on the other side...” the white-robed Long Chen muttered. He instantly understood after entering the crack.

“Big Brother Long Chen, you know how this crack came to be?” asked Little Crane curiously.

“You don’t?” asked Long Chen in surprise.

Little Crane shook her head. “I don’t know. I was sleeping when my mom woke me up and gave me this mission. But I only knew that our mission was to purify this pure Yin qi and heal the spatial crack once we got here. Big Brother Long Chen, how did this spatial crack appear?”

The white-robed Long Chen looked a bit embarrassed.

He said, “It’s the result of two worlds clashing once I destroyed the heaven region’s battlefield.”

It seemed like the trouble he had caused was being cleaned up by Little Crane.

“Wow, Big Brother Long Chen is so powerful!”

Little Crane clapped for the white-robed Long Chen without any complaint. If it weren’t for the pure innocence and sincerity in her eyes, he would suspect that she was mocking him.

“You’re not going to ask why I destroyed the heaven region’s battlefield?” asked Long Chen.

“I don’t need to! It was definitely because bad people were bullying big brother!” replied Little Crane naively.

The white-robed Long Chen smiled. It was his first time smiling naturally since coming to the nine heavens. Within this foreign world, the only existence he could trust was probably this adorable pretty girl.

From this girl’s eyes, he could see that anyone who was his enemy was a bad person.

Being trusted like this without reservations at all is truly a good feeling.

“Let’s go take a look!” the white-robed Long Chen said.

The white-robed Long Chen grabbed Little Crane’s hand and walked right in.

Just as they passed through the crack, an enraged roar erupted, and an immense claw reached out.
