Chapter 721: The Way to Leave
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Qin Chen had once used the Netherworld Eye to see the corpses of countless experts at the bottom of the River Lethe. Most of them had already turned into white bones.
But now, his hands were being grabbed by a pair of rotten hands.
Did the hands’ owner live under the River Lethe? Shouldn’t such a creature have died long ago?
Those who could fall into the River Lethe were definitely experts with great backgrounds. The quasi-emperor realm was already the lowest standard.
With the innate sword embryo in hand, Qin Chen slashed at the rotten hands that were grabbing his other hand.
He cut the other party’s hands, making it so that they could no longer hold onto him.
Qin Chen was quite fearful. He was afraid that the owner of the rotten hands might be so powerful that he would be dragged into the River Lethe.
If that happened, he wouldn’t even have the time to scream, let alone escape.
Thinking of this, Qin Chen felt fear and was at a loss for what to do. He had already put everything at stake.
Kill!
He roared in anger, then held the innate sword embryo and activated it. The divine power in his body surged wildly, reviving the innate sword embryo!
The terrifying pressure of an extreme emperor weapon erupted.
Then, Qin Chen slashed down.
The innate sword embryo slashed into the water, but unexpectedly, the water of the 800-mile River Lethe split on its own.
It seemed to be resisting the fluctuations of Qin Chen’s extreme emperor weapon.
This was, after all, the weapon of an ancient great emperor and was extremely terrifying. Even Qin Chen couldn’t fully unleash the power of the extreme emperor weapon.
Qin Chen slashed down with the sword and the terrifying sword energy slashed at the pair of rotten hands, almost cutting them off.
Only a bit of flesh was left, connecting the palms to the arms. Immediately, the black shadow felt pain and let go of Qin Chen’s wrist.
Otherwise, Qin Chen really didn’t know what would happen next. Fortunately, the black shadow had already taken the initiative to let go.
Qin Chen then looked down into the River Lethe. He wanted to find out where the black shadow had hidden, but he could not see anything. It was as if it had never appeared.
This caused him to be extremely apprehensive. He had never thought that such a strange thing would happen under the 800-mile River Lethe.
It made him feel quite uncomfortable.
He then looked at the bottom of the River Lethe. With the help of the Netherworld Eyes, he could see the bones of countless peerless experts at the bottom of the river.
Countless experts had died here. One could imagine how terrifying the river was.
As such, Qin Chen only dared to touch the water with his hands and didn’t dare to jump into it, afraid that he would die if he fell into it.
After all, even those terrifying beings had died here, let alone an ordinary God Emperor-realm cultivator like him.
Thinking of this, Qin Chen began to investigate how he should cross the 800-mile River Lethe.
Only by doing so could he truly survive.
Everyone was also waiting anxiously, wondering how Elder King and Daoist Jiuji were doing.
At this moment, Qin Chen took out an ordinary magic item and placed it into the water of the 800-mile River Lethe.
He discovered that after about two hours, the material of the magic item began to undergo a subtle change. Not long after, it decayed at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.
In the end, there was nothing left!
One must not stay in the River Lethe for too long. If they did, they would end up like those peerless experts, only leaving behind piles of bones.
When Qin Chen thought about how he had dared to touch the water of the River Lethe with his hands, he felt lucky. Fortunately, nothing had happened to him.
The River Lethe was a no-mans land. If Qin Chen dared to enter, he would certainly die.
He almost understood the situation now. He took out the innate sword embryo and placed it in the water of the River Lethe.
There seemed to be some kind of mysterious power in the water of the River Lethe. It seemed to be able to sense danger and thus rejected the innate sword embryo, splitting the water and leaving space for it.
Qin Chen’s eyes were filled with joy. Could it be that the innate sword embryo was the nemesis of the River Lethe?
It was a pity that he didn’t take the extreme emperor weapons left behind by the other ancient great emperors. Otherwise, with those other extreme emperor weapons, he might’ve been able to cross the River Lethe more easily.
Qin Chen poured his divine power into the innate sword embryo.
In an instant, the innate sword embryo expanded and transformed into a flying sword, emitting a terrifying extreme emperor might.
With that, a long path was carved out on the surface of the River Lethe.
The water of the River Lethe had almost split apart. In this way, Qin Chen could then cross the river easily.
Thinking of this, Qin Chen smiled. It turned out that the way to cross the river was so simple.
He immediately turned around and said to Daoist Jiuji, “Let’s go. Let’s go back.”
Daoist Jiuji said in disbelief, “Could it be that you’ve already found a way?”
As Qin Chen nodded, Daoist Jiuji was truly shocked. One should know that even quasi-emperor-realm experts had been helpless when faced with the 800-mile River Lethe. They could ultimately only die. He had never thought that a God Emperor like Qin Chen would actually have the ability to cross the river.
This was an incredible piece of news! Daoist Jiuji immediately brought Qin Chen back to where they came from.
In this vast fog, Qin Chen followed Daoist Jiuji back according to the coordinates left behind by the illusions.
With those illusions as the coordinates, they were able to travel without any obstacles and return very quickly.
This was because even the earliest batch of illusions that were condensed did not have enough time to develop consciousness.
Daoist Jiuji easily dismissed them. He waved his hand and the illusions turned into nothingness.
At this point, Qin Chen and Daoist Jiuji arrived in front of everyone.
The big scorpion didn’t see any worry on Qin Chen’s face. Instead, the latter’s eyes were filled with joy.
He immediately asked, “Elder King, could it be that you have already found a way to cross the River Lethe?”
Qin Chen looked at everyone and nodded, “Yes.” Everyone immediately was bewildered..
