Chapter 271 - 271: Destiny of Long Chen

The Soul Devouring Wolf came out of the Beast Bag of Ji Shan.

Ji Shan and the Soul Devouring Wolf both gazed at the Dark Moon Horse as they got ready to attack.

They were just about to attack when they heard a cry of a beast.

"Hmm? " Ji Shan frowned as he looked back.

"A  profound bear?" He muttered as he saw a bear running towards him.

"Whitey, You take care of the Profound Bear, I'll handle the Dark Moon Horse."

Ji Shan had just spoken, but immediately after, all colors disappeared from his face.

He saw more than 50 different kinds of beast coming after the profound bear.

It didn't look like they were chasing the bear, instead, it looked like a beast horde that was coming towards them.

Ji Shan gave up on fighting as he climbed on top of the Soul Devouring Wolf and ordered it to run.

The Soul Devouring Wolf started running. The direction it was running in was the one that led to the depths of the beast forest.

It was already night and Long Chen had recovered his Qi, but he still hadn't caught up to the Sun Destroying Condor.

He decided to give rest to the Dark Horned Armored Rhino.

He sent the Dark Horned Armored Rhino back inside his Ancient Ring. He looked for two trees that were nearby as he properly placed his hammock in mid-air,tied to the branches of two tall trees that are quite close to each other.

Long Chen lay down as he closed his eyes.

"The cracks on the heart demon cocoon are increasing. If I'm not wrong, I most probably have a week more. I can't wait that long." He muttered to himself as he used his consciousness to see inside his martial Space.

" After I leave this place, I will tell Mingyu and Zhiqing everything. I will tell them all about my heart demon and what I might become in the future. I'll leave it up to them to decide what they want to do. This thing is most probably going to be permanent after all."

"Although I won't let the heart demon affect my decisions and my mind, I can't say for sure if my resolve won't be defeated."

*Sigh*

" I wish I could have brought Xue and Mei with me as well. After I make my Martial World, I might be able to take them with me. Mother and grandfather as well"

" Can't wait to see the reaction on their faces when I go back with father, though." Long Chen muttered as a smile appeared on his face.

He was already imagining a scenario where he had freed his father and was back home with him.

"There are so many things for me to do. I wonder if I'll be able to do them all. There's a certain destiny as well that Xun talked about. Don't know where it might take me. Hopefully, everything will turn out good in the end." Long Chen said softly.

In a dark space inside the ring, Xun was sitting there alone. She was able to hear everything Long Chen was saying.

Initially, she was smiling, but her smile disappeared as soon as she heard Long Chen talk about his destiny.

She couldn't help but gaze upwards with a somewhat sad look in her eyes.

"Your destiny... I know the general direction it is supposed to take, but in the end, it all depends on you. Will it be similar to Tian Shen, or will you carve out a different path. It shall all depend on you. Only time will tell." She said softly.

The night passed away just as silently as it had arrived.

The sun was high in the sky and the sunlight was falling directly on Long Chen's face.

He slowly opened his eyes as he woke up.

He sat up and stretched his arms as he yawned.

He kept everything back as he got down.

Long Chen called Auro again.

The Dark Horned Armored Rhino came out of the Beast Region inside his Ancient Ring.

"You're looking quite fresh. I wish I could go inside the Beast Region as well. The Qi and the resources are so amazing. Anyways, let's go. We need to find that Condor no matter what." He said with a smile as he got on top of the Dark Horned Armored Rhino.

The Dark Horned Armored Rhino continued on the journey ahead towards the depths of the forest.

Long Chen had already hidden his aura so that no beast would be able to sense him.

Since they could only sense Auro, Long Chen was sure that they wouldn't bother to attack.

Long Chen had spread his divine sense as he continued ahead.

Another day passed without anything to show for. Long Chen didn't find the Sun Destroying Condor.

Long Chen cultivated in the night as he sent the Dark Horned Armored Rhino back inside his Ancient Ring to rest.

A new day arrived and ended in a similar fashion.

Long Chen was quite tired of using his divine sense all day long, but he hasn't seen the Sun Destroying Condor.

Just like this, three days have passed. Only one day remains before the Beast Forest will be locked inside the barrier again and the formation will become active and kill any human that is still inside the forest.

Long Chen didn't want to be here when that happened, so he only had one day to find and tame Sun Destroying Condor.

Fortunately, on the fourth day, he did manage to see the Sun Destroying Condor.

It was evening. Only a few hours were left before the formation would be closed.  The Sun Destroying Condor looked like it was sleeping.

Long Chen had decided that he would not waste this chance.

He used teleport three times in succession as he appeared directly beside the Sun Destroying Condor.

The Sun Destroying Condor sensed the danger as he tried to fly away, but a fist landed on its back that made it fall back to the ground.

"Do you think I'll let you run away again?" Long Chen muttered.
