654: Chapter 657 The Pursuit of the Creation Blood Clan

Energy instead became an abstract concept.

Lu Chen felt his cells vibrating slightly, ready to move.

"I can make use of the environment here."

He realized instantly.

"By cultivating under this entropic force, I can temper my cells to a perfect state."

But there was a risk.

Currently, he was only a Clone.

To truly achieve a perfect transformation, his main body had to be present.

Yet there was a hidden danger.

Because he had shattered Malonsman's Soul mark.

A link of Karma had already been established between him and the Ancestor of the Creation Blood Clan.

Once Lu Chen's main body entered the Primordial World, the Ancestor of the Creation Blood Clan would immediately sense it.

Lu Chen's actions were as precise as a scalpel.

The Clone retreated from the portal back to the cave.

He placed the boundless sword of the void sea on the ground as a marker.

Then.

The Clone dissipated into green smoke.

In almost the same millisecond.

Lu Chen's main body appeared in the cave.

He grabbed the sword and lunged toward the portal.

But just as his shoulder crossed the threshold.

A sudden, Soul-freezing chill locked onto his spine.

That was a gaze from a higher dimension.

Like a predator looking down at an ant.

The Ancestor of the Creation Blood Clan had discovered him.

"Close the passage!"

Lu Chen roared.

He tumbled and fell into the Negative Anti-World.

Almost simultaneously.

A pale giant hand condensed purely from killing intent.

Tore through the space where he had just been standing.

The portal slammed shut, severing the link.

Within the territory of the Creation Blood Clan.

Beneath a magnificent blood-colored sky.

A handsome young man with blood-red eyes.

Frowned deeply.

He looked at his hand that had missed its mark.

"A little bug, yet having such heavy karmic debt with my clan?"

The Ancestor whispered.

"Such a variable cannot be allowed to remain."

He turned his head.

Looking at the tall armored figure kneeling in the shadows.

"Leant, order all Eternal Realm guardians in the Anti-World to eradicate this bug. His name is Lu Chen."

The Blood Clan ruler, Leant, bowed deeply.

"As you command, Ancestor."

Within minutes.

An order spread throughout the Blood Clan's Spirit network.

The bounty for killing Lu Chen.

Was the ultimate reward:

A drop of the Ancestor's Origin Blood.

All Creation Blood Clan members in the Anti-World began to sharpen their fangs.

Lu Chen, completely unaware of this large-scale hunt.

Found a quiet hollow mountain range in the Anti-World and began his secluded meditation.

He could not yet touch the objects here.

Even the slightest carelessness with the negative molecular structure would cause his cells to collapse.

He sat cross-legged and took a deep breath.

What he inhaled was not Spiritual Qi, but pure entropic force.

Suddenly.

A voice echoed in his mind.

It was the World Tree within his Inner Heaven and Earth.

"Master... If you stay here, I can absorb this entropic force to complete my evolution."

"There's no need to hunt powerful beings anymore."

"It just... takes time."

Lu Chen nodded.

"Rest assured, evolve in peace. I am also cultivating."

Lu Chen activated the Law of Entropy.

He became a vacuum, a black hole of negative gray mist.

His cells began to absorb tangible entropic force.

And transformed accordingly.

A normal human body has about thirty to forty trillion cells.

But Lu Chen, having evolved through the Myriad Source Bloodline.

Possessed a staggering 10¹⁰⁰ cells within his body.

A googol.

Each cell was equivalent to a dimensional world.

He watched his cells.

Turning from bright red to a brilliant, indestructible gold.

First cycle: 2 cells.

Second cycle: 4 cells.

Third cycle: 8 cells.

With each round of tempering, the number doubled.

He had calculated.

To complete the perfect evolution.

It would take 335 cycles.

Since each round required nearly a day to digest the massive amount of entropic force.

Thus, he needed to remain in seclusion for nearly a year.

"335 days."

Lu Chen closed his eyes and whispered.

But peace.

Had always been his most expensive luxury.

Even through the thick mountain walls.

He could feel powerful and cold auras approaching.

...

Lu Chen stood alone in the boundless darkness.

His figure appeared small against the strange sky he had never seen before.

He looked toward the distant fluctuations.

Powerful auras were surging there.

Distorted and oppressive.

Their skin squirmed like living shadows.

They were native lifeforms of the Anti-World.

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes.

Without a doubt, they were strong.

But not yet strong enough to require his immediate action.

Judging from the Law fluctuations and the concentration of Origin marks, he instantly estimated their Realm:

progenitor realm.

Lu Chen exhaled slowly.

"No need to fight."

He whispered.

He raised his hand.

The surrounding space vibrated silently.

He infused the Law of Entropy into the invisible barrier surrounding him.

Entropy is decay, it is the inevitable.

Within that barrier.

All orderly detection would collapse into meaningless noise, and energy waves would become intermittent.

Unless an Origin Supreme of the Anti-World or a higher existence personally descended.

No one here could do anything to him.

They couldn't even touch him.

Lu Chen remained calm.

His purpose in this world.

Was not to fight.

At least, not for now.

He needed time.

He needed to complete his tempering cycles.

The more cycles he completed.

The more perfect his understanding of Anti-World life would become.

Rashly getting involved in pointless conflicts would only draw the true predators of this world.

That would be too foolish.

He further expanded his control.

The Ultimate Domain bloomed silently.

Unlike before.

This Domain was no longer pure.

It now used the Law of Entropy as its core Foundation.

The spatial rules within the Domain were completely consistent with the Positive World.

Finally.

Lu Chen completely detached himself from the surrounding dimensional layers.

Absolute isolation.

To the outside world.

This space no longer existed.

Even if the patrols were changed from the progenitor realm to the Eternal Realm.

They still wouldn't find him.

A moment later.

The nearby air distorted violently.

A portal opened.

A group of Anti-World lifeforms stepped out.

Their bodies were covered in pitch-black armor grown directly from negative matter.

Their eyes flickered with a hollow, dark-red light.

One of them raised a crystal device embedded in his arm.

Runes on the surface flickered, scanning the surroundings.

"There's nothing here."

The person spoke calmly.

"It seems it was just a few annoying rats intruding."

"However, the signal clearly shows traces of a Positive World transmission; this must be reported to the higher-ups."

They lingered for a moment, scanning again.

Nothing found.

They turned and vanished.

Lu Chen watched silently.

His brow furrowed slightly.

"The Anti-World has already developed devices specifically for detecting cross-positive-negative transmissions."

He thought to himself.

"I wonder if the Positive World has something similar."

This thought made him slightly uneasy.

Nevertheless, he breathed a small sigh of relief.

As long as the true top-tier existences didn't arrive immediately.

Everything was still under control.

Unfortunately.

Luck never favored Lu Chen.

Within the Primordial World region of the Anti-World.

Belonging to the territory of the Creation Blood Clan.

Everything became even worse.

Within that territory.

Eternal Realm Blood Clan members were searching for him like mad.

To them.

Lu Chen was not just an intruder, but prey that had slipped through their fingers.

They acted immediately.

Contacting the local administrators of the Anti-World.

Requesting cooperation.

Ten days passed.

Lu Chen opened his eyes.

Something was quietly changing.
