Chapter 2175: Running into a Disaster
The vast outer space was filled with infinite darkness and coldness. There was no sense of time or direction. It was very easy for people to get lost.
Currently, in the deathly silent outer space, a small spaceship moved through there silently like a ghost. It was extremely fast.
A young man who only seemed to be in his twenties with a weather-hardened face and a young woman who seemed about the same age as him silently stood in the cockpit. They stared at the space outside.
“Jian Chen, where are we going next?”
At this moment, the woman asked. She blankly stared at the seemingly unfamiliar space that still gave off a sense of familiarity for some reason as she seemed lost about the future.
“We don’t have any star charts, and we don’t know where we are right now. The priority is for us to learn where we are before taking action. After all, the vast outer space isn’t as tranquil as it seems on the surface. In order to avoid the space beasts that thrive here, we need to be careful to not set foot in zones of danger,” said the man as he stared at the outside world.
They happened to be Jian Chen and Kai Ya.
After the teleportation formation sent out Jian Chen and Shui Yunlan, they arrived in this unfamiliar space. Shui Yunlan did not travel with Jian Chen. She turned down his suggestion of visiting Changyang Mingyue and left alone.
Afterwards, Jian Chen called Kai Ya out from the Anatta Tower. Inside a Space Ring he had obtained from a supreme Godking in the Neptunean Divine Palace, he found a small spaceship. As a result, the two of them used it to travel through outer space.
The only problem was that they had searched through all the Space Rings on them and actually found two small spaceships, but they did not find a single star chart.
As a result, they were lost in outer space. They could only control the spaceship to fly in one direction in hopes of coming across someone who also hurried through outer space so that they could ask for directions.
“It’s just a pity that Chanlong has gone missing,” Kai Ya sighed gently. When she thought about the days when the three of them roamed through outer space, she became filled with pity.
“Don’t worry; he’ll be fine. You have to remember that the Neptunean Mountains vanished with him,” said Jian Chen.
However, at this moment, both of their faces changed slightly. Outside, the space that used to be filled with stars completely vanished. The space they now saw was truly empty. There was only eternal darkness and no starlight at all.
“Is this… a formation?” Jian Chen studied the surroundings as he said sternly.
It went without thinking that the formation was very powerful seeing how it was cast in outer space. However, Jian Chen did not have any mastery over formations at all, so once they were trapped here, they would be in trouble.
With a flash, Jian Chen and Kai Ya appeared on the deck outside. The two of them stared at the surroundings sternly.
“We have indeed entered a formation. It’s just that this formation is extremely tremendous and profound. It’s a pity that Chanlong is not present, or we might have been able to find a way out with his mastery over formations,” Kai Ya said grimly. Neither she nor Jian Chen was skilled with formations, so the situation they faced was extremely bad.
“Come with me. Let’s see if we can leave here somehow.” Jian Chen grabbed Kai Ya’s hand and retreated in the direction that they had come from.
However, leaving a formation was easier said than done. Moreover, they had no mastery over formations at all.
As a result, just a while later, Jian Chen felt like he had completely lost his bearings. He was truly lost.
At this moment, a powerful pulse of energy radiated out. Finger-sized streams of dark light suddenly appeared, wrapping towards Jian Chen and Kai Ya with terrifying killing intent like rain.
The light came in from all directions, completely sealing off all of Jian Chen and Kai Ya’s paths of retreat. The power that each stream of light gave off made Jian Chen jump in fright. So many streams together possessed enough power to even kill Primordial realm experts.
“Quick, enter the tower,” Jian Chen called out and took out the Anatta Tower as quickly as he could. With a flash, the two of them hid inside.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…
The streaks of light all struck the Anatta Tower, producing a series of deafening sounds. It also caused the Anatta Tower to shake. Under the havoc of the powerful ripples of energy, the spaceship parked nearby that had not been stowed away instantly shattered to pieces.
Without any hesitation, Jian Chen immediately controlled the Anatta Tower to charge out. He hoped that he could charge out of this formation with the toughness of the Anatta Tower.
“I wonder if the owner of this formation is present. If they are, then we have to leave immediately, or there’ll be big trouble. I’ve obtained three Cosmic Movement Talismans in the Neptunean Divine Palace, and I only have one left now. I don’t want to waste it here,” Jian Chen thought as he flew as quickly as he could with the Anatta Tower.
The Anatta Tower endured the most vicious attacks from the formation as it charged through it all. Even though it was still damaged and sealed up by sword Qi, preventing it from unleashing its full power, it was still a god artifact of the best quality after all. Just the material it had been built out of was indestructible.
As a result, even though the attacks of the formation were extremely ferocious, it failed to do anything to the Anatta Tower.
Boom!
At this moment, a great sound rang out. The Anatta Tower struck a spatial barrier and shattered a meteor in there.
As the meteor shattered, a crack seemed to appear in the formation as well.
“Stop! Don’t destroy the formation!”
At this moment, a hoarse, old voice boomed out thunderously. In the next moment, a huge hand completely condensed out of energy reached over with great might, grabbing the Anatta Tower and pulling it over.
Jian Chen’s face changed drastically in the Anatta Tower. Wrapped around by the giant hand, he was unable to escape with the Anatta Tower.
After all, his control over the Anatta Tower was still very weak. He was unable to unleash all the power of the tower.
Jian Chen’s face became extremely ugly as he sighed at his misfortune. He had already realised that he had probably encountered a Primordial realm expert and a very powerful one at that.
Boom!
The huge hand condensed from energy directly threw the Anatta Tower at a meteor hidden within the formation. With a rumble, a huge pit was created in the tough meteor as a result of the Anatta Tower’s terrifying toughness.
“I know you can hear me. Come out. Don’t hide inside,” the hoarse, old voice rang out again. Even though it was unable to reach within the Anatta Tower, Jian Chen was still able to hear it clearly, as he had refined half of the tower.
