Chapter 890: Chapter 890

In the Endless Chaos, the team of five that Chen Hai was currently part of had Quasi-Saint level strong individuals, namely Li Xuanfeng and Zi Feng, while the remaining members were merely Daluo Golden Immortals.

When they recalled those years of traversing in the Chaos, and the fellow Taoist Friends who had died from the attacks of the Chaotic Beasts, everyone’s mood turned somewhat sour.

"Deng Chong, we have been traveling through this Chaos for so many years, and now you tell me you regret it? Don’t you think those words are discouraging?"

"If you really want to go back, just turn around and leave. Rest assured, we will absolutely not stop you!"

"Perhaps, with your luck, you can quickly find the Emperor Pan Palace and successfully become a disciple of the Emperor Pan Ancestor?"

Li Xuanfeng, who had been leading the way ahead, turned back at this moment, visibly displeased, glaring at the person who spoke earlier.

The one named Deng Chong had a Realm similar to Chen Hai, merely at the Late Period of Daluo Golden Immortal.

But Realm is Realm, and combat strength is combat strength.

If he were to fight against Chen Hai, the disparity in combat strength between them was not insignificant.

Within this small team of five, in terms of combat strength, Deng Chong was definitely at the bottom.

Wandering through this gray mist of Chaos, surviving the Chaotic Beast attacks, he wasn’t alive because of strong strength but purely due to his luck, managing to survive intact until now.

"Once you draw the bow, you can’t turn back, having left Emperor Pan Palace, I certainly won’t go back!"

"Earlier, I was just venting my frustration; the words I spoke, fellow Taoists, please don’t take them seriously."

"It was because I was unwilling to become a disciple that once I stepped out of Emperor Pan Palace, I fell into this Chaotic gray mist. The way the Emperor Pan Ancestor acts speaks volumes."

"Although we haven’t yet located the exact position of the Primordial World, at least our destiny is still in our own hands."

"If one truly became his disciple, who knows what fate awaits them?"

With a chuckle, Deng Chong hurriedly spoke, defending himself.

To show his unwavering determination not to join the Emperor Pan Ancestor again, he also took the opportunity to harshly criticize Emperor Pan Ancestor.

In the Primordial World, possessing the Late Daluo Golden Immortal strength, even if not a dominator, he would still be considered one of the big figures at the top of the food chain.

But in this gray mist-filled Endless Chaos, such strength was truly insignificant!

Deng Chong understood this clearly.

Teaming up with Li Xuanfeng and Chen Hai whenever danger occurred, he would have someone to help shield him, but should he leave the team and go alone, a slight danger could cost his life.

Given the potential dangers that could arise in the Endless Chaos, which Deng Chong somewhat understood, he was definitely not willing to leave the current team unless absolutely necessary.

As he already conceded, Li Xuanfeng naturally wouldn’t harp on the matter.

After all, under the current circumstances, they naturally should be united and share the same fate.

No sane person would be willing to get into a serious conflict with their companions over trivial matters.

Of course, if some major benefits presented themselves, it would be another matter.

Cautiously, the group continued forward.

"A Primordial Chaos Great Power like the Emperor Pan Ancestor, every move likely has deeper meaning."

"With his capability, making us appear outside the Thirty-Three Heavens of the Primordial World when stepping out of Emperor Pan Palace should be easy."

"Since he didn’t do so and left us in the Chaos mist instead, perhaps it’s not merely out of discontent for revenge on us, maybe there are other schemes involved!"

"What do you think, fellow Taoists?"

A few two-hours later, when everyone was taking a brief rest, Chen Hai turned to his companions, probing as he spoke.

This idea had lingered in his mind for a while; it was just the first time he’d voiced it.

"I also feel that the Emperor Pan Ancestor must have other plans."

"As a Primordial Chaos Great Power, if he wanted to keep us in Emperor Pan Palace or just kill us directly, it shouldn’t be difficult."

"Not dealing with us personally, perhaps it’s out of disdain, not willing to sully his dignity."

"If that’s the case, why cast us into Chaos, preventing us from returning to the Primordial World at the first chance? I think there must be factors here unknown to us!"

With slight frowns, after pondering thoroughly, everyone began to agree aloud.

Frankly, even without Chen Hai’s words, everyone had had some suspicions for a long time.

However, dealing with someone like the Emperor Pan Ancestor, being a Primordial Chaos Great Power, even if they understood it in their hearts, wouldn’t speak out.

Amid their low-voiced conversation, a strange hissing suddenly reached their ears.

"Careful, there’s a Chaotic Beast!" Almost simultaneously, everyone’s expressions changed.

Li Xuanfeng, at the front of the team, transformed himself into a sword, melding into a seemingly ordinary bronze sword he held. It became a giant sword dozens of feet long, standing tall in this Chaos.

Dazzling sword light burst forth centered around this giant sword, obliterating the dense gray mist within several hundred meters around.

Unfortunately, though that hissing sound was drawing nearer, the Chaotic Beast itself remained unseen.

Chaotic Beasts vary greatly in form and power.

The weaker ones can be easily killed by an ordinary Daluo Golden Immortal, but the stronger ones could claim the life of even a Quasi-Saint Strong with a slip.

This Chaos near the Primordial World had perhaps been regularly cleared by former formidable beings, generally having weaker Chaotic Beasts residing here.

Venturing deeper into Chaos, encountering a Chaotic Beast with power rivaling the Primordial Chaos Great Power wouldn’t be surprising.

As the hissing drew closer, finally, a hazy shadow appeared in everyone’s vision.

With a fierce shout, the giant sword that Li Xuanfeng transformed into charged head-on at that shadow.

Being the strongest, he took action, naturally prompting the others to follow suit.

Needing to use the Nine Heavens Thunder Wings to boost his speed caused a slight delay; originally in the middle of the team, Chen Hai inadvertently lagged behind others slightly.

Just as he spread his Thunder Wings and prepared to dash forward, an enormous serpent head suddenly emerged behind him.

Its gaping maw opened, even Chen Hai had no time to react, being swallowed whole in one bite.
