CHAPTER 790: CHAPTER 787 GHOST BABY!

Strange, why is there a Death Black Hole here?

Li Chen looked at the night that was as dark as thick ink, full of doubts.

As he slightly recovered some True Yuan, his pupils contracted slightly, deploying Insight Divine Power, ready to investigate the truth.

Divine Sense probed the surrounding darkness at a high frequency of thirty-six thousand times per breath.

Oh, so that’s how it is!

The feedback he received made Li Chen suddenly realize.

This place wasn’t naturally formed but an artificially created space. It wasn’t a real Death Black Hole, just that the environment was somewhat similar.

The person capable of such a massive project must be at least a Great Power in the Divinity Transformation Realm.

In the Cultivation Realm, the number of people who could reach this realm were few.

The only one clearly recorded was one person.

Ancient Emperor: Emperor Yu!

Lian Hongshang looked at the endless darkness, a ripple of unease in her beautiful eyes.

"Chen, are we really going to keep falling down like this, without end?"

Li Chen thought for a moment and replied: "This is a true bottomless pit. It’s impossible to reach the bottom!"

"Ah? Then aren’t we really going to die here?"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Lian Hongshang was startled.

Hearing Lian Hongshang’s voice tremble slightly, Li Chen casually asked, "What, isn’t it good for the two of us to sleep here together?"

Lian Hongshang rolled her eyes and said, "I only have you as a man, but someone doesn’t only have me as a woman. There are so many beautiful wives out there; to just die here with me, isn’t that too wasteful?"

Li Chen was silent for three seconds and seriously responded, "Er, you are right!"

"Right your big ghost head!"

Before Li Chen’s words had settled, Lian Hongshang’s jealousy flared up; she stretched out her pale fingers and fiercely pinched his waist, causing him to grimace in pain.

"Wuwu, wuwu!"

Just then, a cold wind abruptly rose. A very eerie baby’s cry, sudden like a bolt from the blue, loudly emerged.

Lian Hongshang was startled by the sudden cry, clinging tightly to Li Chen.

"Chen, why is there a baby crying here?"

Li Chen’s pupils emitted two brilliant lights, rapidly diffusing around in search.

Suddenly!

He saw a swirling black fog, within which was a swaddle.

In the swaddle was a baby, with two dark green eyes blinking like ghost fire, flickering on and off, appearing extremely eerie.

Li Chen’s expression grew grave, and he spoke, "It’s a Ghost Baby!"

A Ghost Baby is formed from babies that died in the womb, harboring resentment which condenses into an Evil Spirit. It is said that this type of Evil Spirit likes to enter the womb of pregnant women and devour those unborn babies. If it successfully devours nine hundred ninety-nine, it will advance to becoming an Evil Spirit on the night of a full moon.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators dare not easily provoke such Evil Spirits.

"A Ghost Baby? Where is it, why can’t I see it?"

Lian Hongshang looked left and right, but it was still pitch black all around, and she couldn’t see anything.

"Wuwu, wuwu!"

The Ghost Baby cried again, its voice eerily piercing, causing chills in one’s heart.

As the Ghost Baby’s green eyes landed on the Purple Shadow Immortal Sword, it seemed as if it was pricked by needles, and hastily retreated.

Clearly, it was very afraid of this Immortal Sword!

"The Ghost Baby is fleeing, we should follow it, maybe we can leave this place!"

Having said that, Li Chen took Lian Hongshang’s hand. Riding the Purple Shadow Immortal Sword, they quickly pursued.

Just like that, they chased for who knows how long, and light began to appear ahead.

But it wasn’t a normal white light, rather it displayed a hair-raising blood-red color.

Li Chen looked up to see a blood-red moon hanging high in the sky.

"This place is so eerie!"

Lian Hongshang’s nerves were taut as she clasped her arms around her and cautiously scanned the surroundings.

At that moment,

Lian Hongshang suddenly discovered a pair of malevolent, vicious eyes staring intently at her.

Eerie, hateful, ferocious...

The instant she locked eyes with the Ghost Baby, Lian Hongshang’s mind was flooded with previously experienced terrifying scenes, sending chills down her spine and causing her to shudder in fear.

"Hongshang, don’t look into its eyes!"

Li Chen quickly tugged at Lian Hongshang’s arm, forcefully pulling her back from her state of terror.

Lian Hongshang shivered, and her pale forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat, obviously still shocked.

"What kind of demon are you, show yourself!"

Li Chen decisively clenched his fist and, wielding the Dragon Abyss Divine Sword, slashed a Sword Rainbow at the Ghost Baby.

"Ooo, ooo!"

The Ghost Baby let out a wailing cry, transforming into a cloud of black mist, scattering in an elusive manner dodging Li Chen’s attack.

"Did it run away?"

Lian Hongshang asked, still shaken.

Li Chen did not answer Lian Hongshang, but shouted into the void.

"Hmph, merely a Ghost Baby, you think you can hide from me like that?"

His words still echoing in mid-air, Li Chen’s pupils emanated two flames.

"Burning Sky!"

At once, the surrounding black mist was dispersed by the flames. The Ghost Baby, having no place to hide, cried out again "ooo, ooo."

The swaddling cloth wrapping its body, which had consumed tens of thousands of Dead Souls, managed to block Li Chen’s fatal strike.

However, the flames erupting from Li Chen’s eyes were not ordinary flames, but Hellfire from below the Nine Nether, a natural nemesis of all ghostly beings.

Unable to withstand the flames, the Ghost Baby desperately used the tactic of Golden Toad Shedding to escape its swaddle and fled.

"Ooo, ooo!"

While running, it continued to cry.

The surrounding Dead Ghosts, hearing the sounds here, surged over like a tidal wave.

Seeing this, Li Chen frowned, delivered a forceful sword strike that pushed back the nearest ghost beings, then grabbed Lian Hongshang and fled in the opposite direction.

"Ooo, ooo!"

The naked Ghost Baby, its skull caved in, its head grotesquely deformed. Its facial features were also severely twisted, with greenish dead eyes and no nose, crying so fiercely that its mouth stretched to the back of its head, utterly horrifying.

It bowed three times to the Blood Moon, preparing to absorb the power of the Blood Moon to heal.

But at this critical moment of life and death, a sudden chilling wind arose. A ghostly figure floated over.

If Li Chen were here, he would instantly recognize the owner of this ghostly figure.

It was the Divine Soul of Wuo Jie, the Deputy Sect Master of Yunxiao Sect!

When space was torn apart, Wuo Jie’s Nascent Soul was also caught, brutally absorbed into it.

He drifted endlessly in the darkness, for who knows how long, drawn here upon hearing sounds of a fight.

But he never expected to see... a Ghost Baby!

The moment he saw the Ghost Baby, the Ghost Baby also saw him.

Suddenly, they stared eye to eye, surrounded by deathly silence!

...

Still haven’t recovered from my cold, I got an IV today, slept all afternoon + half the evening, my head is still groggy...
