Chapter 286 - The Last Spatial Vortex
Time quickly flew by and in the twinkling of an eye, two months had passed since Ling Chen and his crew had entered the 9th Extreme Void belt with the Dark Pegasus battleship.
One could say that these past two months within the 9th Extreme Void Belt was the most strenuous, laborious, arduous, and challenging time in their entire lives.
It wasn\'t an exaggeration when the Extreme Void Belts were put on the list of the most dangerous and forbidden region in the Nine Rings Chaos Universe.
Despite being the weakest of the Nine Extreme Void Belts, the dangerous and the perilous situations that Ling Chen and his people had encountered within the 9th Extreme Void Belt was something they have never seen before.
The deeper they traveled within the 9th Extreme Void Belt, the more powerful and ferocious void beasts they encountered.
Not only the void beasts have become more powerful and bigger, but they also seemed to have become a little bit clever compared to those brainless void beast they\'ve encountered when they had first entered the 9th Extreme Void Belt.
If it wasn\'t for the fact that the strength of the Dark Primordial Shura kept on increasing with every void beast that has killed by absorbing their rich blood and life essence, they would have long become void beasts\' snacks or died of exhaustion due to the endless battle and slaughter.
Over the past two months, Ling Chen and his people have traveled and crossed over nineteen spatial vortexes which had considerably shortened their journey to enter the 8th Ring of the Chaos Universe.
Nonetheless, after a long and arduous journey filled with endless slaughter and life-threatening battle, they have finally made it to the region of the 9th Extreme Void Belt.
According to the map created by the Great Luo Martial God, they were only one spatial vortex away from the 8th Ring of the Chaos Universe. Once they\'ve crossed through to that spatial vortex, they\'d finally entered the long-awaited 8th Ring of the Chaos Universe.
..............
Swoosh!
At this moment, the Dark Pegasus was flying unhindered within the endless pitch-black region of the 9th Extreme Void Belt at an amazing speed.
This time, there wasn\'t anyone standing on top of it. Whether it was Ling Chen and the Dark Primordia Shura, they were all nowhere be to seen on top of the Dark Pegasus.
However, that wasn\'t all. The area where the Dark Pegasus was flying seemed to be void of any void beasts as well. Aside from the Dark Pegasus that was soaring within the endless darkness, there wasn\'t anything at all.
"Something seems off. It\'s too easy." Murmured Ling Chen as he stood within the control room of the Dark Pegasus with a confused expression on his face.
It\'s been two weeks since they\'ve passed through the nineteenth spatial vortex and entered the last region of the 9th Extreme Void Belt.
Normally, they should have encountered the most powerful horde of void beasts throughout the whole 9th Extreme Void Belt in this area. However, they haven\'t seen the shadow of even one void beast thus far which seemed kinda odd.
It wasn\'t that Ling Chen was complaining, he just found it odd and suspicious. If it was up to him, he would have preferred this peaceful and interrupted journey.
He has been fighting against the endless horde of void beast non-stop for the past two months along with the Dark Primordial Shura, without taking a break.
Despite the powerful stamina and the strong constitution of the Dark Primordial Shura, they were still getting tired and overwhelmed.
It was also the main reason that Ling Chen had sent them to rest after a week of entering the last section of the 9th Extreme Void Belt to stabilize their new strength upon seeing that there wasn\'t any void beast in the area. They weren\'t like those robots that didn\'t need to rest.
"Is there something wrong, divine father?" Suddenly asked Freya who was standing behind Ling Chen with her angelic voice after seeing the expression on Ling Chen\'s face.
It wasn\'t her first time seeing that expression on her divine father\'s face. He has been like this for the past two weeks.
Furthermore, she could also feel that something was off the moment they entered the last section of the 9th Extreme Void Belt. However, she couldn\'t put her fingers around it. She could only ask her divine father.
"It\'s nothing." Abruptly answered Ling Chen as the Dark Pegasus continued to soar towards the last the spatial vortex at an incredible speed.
"Violet, how long till we arrive at the last spatial vortex?" Asked Ling Chen.
"The estimated time is four hours, twenty minutes, and fifty-two seconds." Answered violet in a cold and mechanical voice like usual.
Sure enough, after three hours or so, Ling Chen was finally able to see the last spatial vortex in the distance. It was the same as the other spatial vortex they\'ve previously crossed.
As the Dark Pegasus was getting closer to the last spatial vortex, Ling Chen\'s thunderous voice suddenly rang out within the control room, frightening everyone behind him."Violet, stop the spaceship!"
Following Ling Chen\'s strong outburst, the Dark Pegasus abruptly stopped its advance. The moment it did, Ling Chen hastily got out and flew on top of the Dark Pegasus battleship followed by some of the Light Primordial Shura.
Though it was still very dark within the 9th Extreme Void Belt to the point one wouldn\'t be able to see their fingers in front of them, it wasn\'t the same for Ling Chen and the Primordial Shura.
They could see in the dark as though it was as bright as the day. That was even more true for Ling Chen, his gaze could illuminate every corner in this place.
After getting on top of the Dark Pegasus, Ling Chen\'s eyes shone brightly within the darkness as he used his power to zoom in into the distance.
However, his expression darkened in the next second as he took a step backward and recalled his gaze.
"What the hell is that?" Blurted out Ling Chen with a frightened and surprised expression on his face. It was as if he had just seen a ghost.
Not to mention Ling Chen, the Light Primordial was even more horrified and surprised after witnessing that terrifying sight with their eye power as well.
It was truly terrifying and shiver-inducing!
They\'ve suddenly realized that the spatial vortex that appeared in the distance ahead of them wasn\'t a real spatial vortex but the wide-open jaw of a humongous void beast.
What was even more terrifying, it didn\'t even appear on the radar of the Dark Pegasus battleship like all the void beasts did previously.
If Ling Chen didn\'t stop the spaceship when he did, they would have entered the giant mouth of the gigantic void beast thinking it was the real spatial vortex that was in fact behind it.
