251: Chapter 251 Vera Escapes, Lu Chen's Wrath!

In the Otherworlder Kingdom, deep within the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts.

On a sacred healing platform carved from ten-thousand-year-old warm jade, Lu Xiaoyun lay quietly amidst a hazy halo of Spiritual Qi. Her complexion remained pale, but her breathing had stabilized.

Only the faint, blood-red divine mark between her brows indicated that the terrifying burden brought about by her forcibly invoking the [Coffin of the Dual-World God] had not yet completely subsided.

Alien King Dong Ligee stood by the platform, his slender, jade-like fingers lightly tapping the Void Realm. Emerald green runes containing boundless vitality, like living sprites, flowed continuously into Lu Xiaoyun's body, stabilizing her damaged Physical Body and Soul.

"Mental exhaustion, divine backlash... This little girl, she's truly reckless."

Alien King Dong Ligee sighed softly, though his tone carried a hint of admiration.

"However, to be able to invoke a shadow of an Old God to such a degree—this talent and courage are rare throughout history. Rest assured, under my nourishment, her life is not in danger, though it will take some time for her to wake up."

Lu Chen stood to the side, his tightly clenched fists slightly relaxing as a great weight lifted from his heart.

That his younger sister was currently out of danger was already a great fortune.

However, another beautiful figure instantly occupied his mind—Shen Xiyun, that cool and confident woman who had fought to the death for him and his sister at the final moment!

He turned abruptly, bowed solemnly to Alien King Dong Ligee, and said with a resolute tone: "Senior, this Junior has one more presumptuous request. Please, Senior, help me rescue Shen Xiyun!"

Alien King Dong Ligee's beautiful eyes shifted to land on Lu Chen with a hint of inquiry: "Although the New God Society headquarters is not a dragon's den or tiger's lair, that old hag Vera has been operating it for many years; it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are many Elders. Even if I hold back Vera, how will you, alone, deal with the remaining Ninth-Rank Elders and the backlash of the entire organization?"

Lu Chen raised his head. In his eyes, there was no hesitation or fear, only an absolute self-confidence and awe-inspiring murderous intent honed through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Although his Aura was restrained, that invisible pressure caused the surrounding space to slightly stagnate.

"I only need Senior to make a move and hold back Esther Vera."

Lu Chen's voice was not loud, but it carried a metallic, clanging power, with every word seeming to contain the weight of a thousand jun: "As for the others, I will deal with them!"

He said the four words "I will deal with them" calmly, yet they revealed an absolute dominance that looked down upon the world and regarded thousands of enemy leaders as nothing!

A trace of genuine surprise flashed in Alien King Dong Ligee's narrow eyes.

He could sense that Lu Chen's words were not arrogance, but stemmed from an absolute certainty in his own strength.

Recalling Lu Chen's unstoppable posture in the Cthulhu divine play, as well as that god-slaying spear that even made him feel a tinge of trepidation, he curled his red lips, revealing a stunning, peerless curve.

"Interesting! I shall accompany you on this trip and see how you, alone, challenge the entire elite of the New God Society!"

...The scene shifts.

The figures of Lu Chen and Alien King Dong Ligee appeared on the outskirts of the New God Society headquarters.

However, the expected heavily fortified barriers and patrolling powerhouses did not appear.

Looking around, the once glorious and solemn New God Society building complex was now shrouded in an eerie, deathly silence.

The light of the protective mountain formation was dim, nearly extinguished. Only a few low-level, ordinary members were running around the plaza in confusion like headless flies. The entire headquarters was permeated with the desolation and chaos of a tree falling and the monkeys scattering.

Lu Chen's brows furrowed instantly. The [Eye of the Ringed Heavens] opened silently, and an invisible Domain of insight, like mercury pouring onto the ground, instantly covered the entire New God Society headquarters.

Nothing! There was none of Esther Vera's disgusting Demigod Aura! None of the powerful energy fluctuations of those Ninth-Rank Elders! Even the unique traces of Shen Xiyun's spatial power were so faint they had almost dissipated!

"We are late."

Alien King Dong Ligee tapped the Void Realm lightly with his bare feet. His Divine Sense swept across, and he understood immediately.

His tone carried a hint of realization and a touch of mockery: "It is indeed Vera's style of doing things—a warrior cutting off his own wrist, without any hesitation. She knew I would protect you to the death and anticipated that you might return to kill. For the sake of her so-called grand plan to become a god, she could decisively abandon the Foundation she had cultivated for many years in this Alien Monster World and take the elite of the guild directly back to the Blue Star World."

"Abandoning her Foundation to return—it is indeed possible to return at any time, but I wonder what she will use to compete with the Divine Cavalry Order for that divine temple when the time comes."

He looked at Lu Chen, his gaze carrying a hint of pity: "Lu, my boy, it seems that your lady friend is likely in grave danger. This person, Vera, is unscrupulous in achieving her goals and acts with ruthless cruelty. Shen Xiyun obstructed her grand plan and knows too many of her secrets; she will never leave this hidden danger behind."

Boom! The moment Alien King Dong Ligee's voice fell, a monstrous Evil Qi, like a volcano suppressed for ten thousand years, violently erupted from Lu Chen's body!

Blood-red and dark golden energy intertwined and shot into the sky, illuminating his entire body as if he were an Asura returned from Hell!

The ground beneath his feet cracked inch by inch, and spiderweb-like fissures spread wildly!

The surrounding air emitted a groan of unbearable weight. Those low-level New God Society members who were peeking from afar were even more terrified by this sudden, terrifying pressure, causing them to collapse to the ground, trembling, unable to make a single sound!

Lu Chen's eyes were instantly bloodshot. Deep within his pitch-black pupils, it seemed as if mountains of corpses and seas of blood were surging, and endless stars were falling and perishing!

Esther Vera had taken Shen Xiyun away; her fate could be imagined! That woman who appeared kind on the outside but was as venomous as a scorpion on the inside! That hypocritical Demigod who had once shown him concern, but in the end, had sacrificed others without hesitation for her own selfish desires!

A heart-piercing pain and a heaven-burning rage intertwined, almost tearing his chest apart!

Shen Xiyun's resolute figure standing before him, her fragility as she vomited blood and flew backward, and her final entrustment, "I can only help you up to this point," were like the sharpest blades, slicing through his nerves over and over again.

"Ve-ra!" Lu Chen raised his head abruptly, letting out a low roar like an injured Vicious Beast.

This sound was not loud, but it contained an extreme murderous intent capable of freezing the Soul, causing even Alien King Dong Ligee to glance sideways slightly.

The Aura around him became incomparably dangerous and violent. Feeling its master's boundless rage, the god-slaying spear automatically manifested and hovered by his side. The point of the spear, that speck of scarlet divine blood, shone brightly, emitting a fierce and baleful Qi that caused all things to wither!

"I, Lu Chen, hereby swear!" He spoke word by word, his voice like ten-thousand-year-old ice, yet also like a thunderclap, echoing clearly over the deathly silent New God Society, as if issuing the most cruel war challenge to an existence on the other side of the infinite Void Realm: "If Shen Xiyun suffers any mishap, I will trample down every Foundation of your New God Society! I will scour the Yellow Springs, and I will definitely—rip you, Esther Vera, alive!"

He spat out the last three words while almost grinding his teeth; every syllable carried bloody Evil Qi and determination!

The instant his voice fell, with Lu Chen as the center, a visible dark-red energy storm erupted and expanded, sweeping across the heavens and the earth, obliterating the remaining personnel of the New God Society!

That was a terrifying Aura that fused the wildness of the Infinite Beast Domain, the ferocity of the god-slaying spear, and his own monstrous rage. The winds and clouds changed color, and the light of the three blood suns seemed to dim at this moment.

Alien King Dong Ligee watched the young man before him, who looked like a demon god descending to the world, quietly. Feeling that firm will and Aura of destruction that moved even him, he sighed inwardly: "Vera, oh Vera, you thought your schemes were unparalleled, but I fear you have provoked a truly dangerous star that you should not have provoked, for yourself and for the New God Society..."
