Chapter 1353: Fooling Ao Tian
In order to successfully incite the Dragon Clan to rebel, Lu Chen used the news of the Chaos Tree as a promise, and now the Dragon Clan is indeed acting according to the agreement.
But the Chaos Tree is particularly important to Lu Chen. Logically speaking, with Lu Chen's current strength, he can cheat and even kill Ao Tian directly.
However, deep down, Lu Chen did not want to kill Ao Tian. After all, there was no deep hatred between the two of them. If it were not for the help of Dragon Soul, Lu Chen would probably have died eight hundred times already.
What's more, the dragon clan has done a favor to the human clan, and they have accumulated a huge amount of karma. In addition, he was in the wrong first, so Lu Chen decided to try not to use force instead of words.
Lu Chen sighed softly and said helplessly, "Senior, please be patient and listen to me. I wonder if you have ever heard of the Demonic Realm outside the domain?"
Upon hearing this, Ao Tian's eyes widened with anger, and he snorted coldly and shouted:
"Boy, are you deliberately stalling for time? Don't think you can get away with it with a few sweet words!"
Lu Chen shook his head in denial and said sincerely, "Senior, you misunderstood. As far as I know, the so-called outer demon world is not actually a demon world. It is very likely the legendary divine world, or even a world where gods and demons coexist."
Just as Lu Chen was about to continue, Ao Tian interrupted him impatiently, "How could you, a cultivator in the Taiyi Xuanxian realm, possibly know all this? And what does this have to do with the Chaos Tree? Are you deliberately making up such a lie to fool me?"
Ao Tian's expression was still extremely grim, and he was obviously very skeptical of Lu Chen's words. He clenched his fists, as if ready to teach Lu Chen a lesson at any time.
However, Lu Chen was not intimidated by Ao Tian's momentum. Instead, he calmly took out a bracelet from his storage ring.
The bracelet was made up of five crystal clear beads strung together, each bead engraved with ancient and mysterious runes. They flickered slightly under the starlight, emitting an indescribable aura.
This necklace was taken by Lu Chen from the mysterious woman in the jade coffin. He didn't believe that he couldn't deceive Ao Tian.
"Senior, please take a look." Lu Chen handed the bracelet to Ao Tian, feeling secretly proud. "I once found this in the ruins of a great emperor. Through this bracelet, I discovered some secrets about the outer demon world."
Ao Tian took the bracelet and examined it carefully. As his eyes fell on the bracelet, a look of shock gradually appeared on his face.
He could feel the energy fluctuations coming from the bracelet. These fluctuations were different from any energy in the fairy world, as if they contained some kind of power beyond the mundane.
"This is..." Ao Tian murmured in a low voice, his eyes full of doubt and curiosity. He believed what Lu Chen said a little bit, and then automatically filled in his mind:
"This aura is definitely not ordinary. Are you saying that the Chaos Tree is in the outer demonic realm?"
Lu Chen nodded, his heart filled with joy, and he continued, "As far as I know, after the Chaos Tree in the Immortal Realm was destroyed, there should have been a seed left behind, and this seed was led by some mysterious power to the God Realm and survived.
This bracelet not only reveals the truth about the outer demonic world, but the message left by its owner also indirectly confirms my conjecture."
After saying that, Lu Chen secretly paid attention to Ao Tian's every move, thinking: "My half-truth and half-false words should be able to temporarily calm this old guy,
Anyway, I've already given him the news, so it's not like I'm breaking my promise. As for whether he goes to the outer demon realm to search for the Chaos Tree, or how he goes, that's not my business."
Ao Tian was silent for a while, as if thinking about whether Lu Chen's words were credible.
His eyes gradually became sharper, staring at Lu Chen intently, trying to find a flaw in the other's eyes.
Just when Lu Chen thought he had gotten away with it and breathed a sigh of relief, Ao Tian suddenly sneered, a cunning glint in his eyes, and said, "Boy, whether what you said is true or not, I will find out after searching your soul to verify it."
As soon as he finished speaking, a suffocatingly powerful aura suddenly burst out from Ao Tian.
He was seen making seals with his hands, and the space around him seemed to be squeezed by an invisible big hand, and the air was filled with an oppressive atmosphere.
Immediately afterwards, Ao Tian moved, like a dragon emerging from the sea, and pounced towards Lu Chen with the power to destroy the world.
As the leader of the Dragon Clan, Ao Tian's attacks were not only incredibly powerful but also incredibly fast. His fists were like two bolts of lightning, mingled with a resounding dragon might. Wherever they struck, space seemed to be torn apart, leaving behind a trail of pitch-black marks.
Every step was accompanied by a deafening roar, and huge cracks formed in the space under the feet, as if the whole world was shaking.
Faced with such a powerful attack, Lu Chen cursed: "Old man, how can you not have martial ethics!"
Yet, despite his anger, his reaction was remarkably swift.
Just when Ao Tian was about to hit him, Lu Chen's body suddenly disappeared from the spot, as if it had never existed, leaving only a residual shadow floating in the void.
This scene made Ao Tian slightly stunned. He obviously did not expect Lu Chen's speed to be so fast.
You know, Ao Tian, as the patriarch of the dragon clan, has one of the best speed and reaction abilities in the fairy world. There are very few people who can avoid attacks so easily in front of him.
When Lu Chen's figure appeared again, he was standing in the air dozens of feet away.
His face was clearly filled with anger. Although he had no intention of killing Ao Tian, it might not be a bad idea to teach him a lesson.
There was no time to think about it, because Ao Tian’s second wave of attack was already coming.
This time, Ao Tian showed no mercy. He clasped his hands together, and with a thought, a huge water dragon condensed from behind him.
The dragon's fangs were bared, emitting an incomparably terrifying aura, as if it wanted to devour everything. Following Ao Tian's roar, the water dragon rushed towards Lu Chen fiercely. Wherever it passed, the space was directly crushed into pieces, which showed how powerful this attack was.
Seeing this, Lu Chen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking: "Isn't this a coincidence? I am the ancestor of playing with water."
Then Lu Chen's mind moved, and he exerted the power of the origin of the Tao, "I am water."
In an instant, the surrounding void seemed to be shrouded by a mysterious force, a powerful force that could resonate with all things in heaven and earth and manipulate the laws of nature.
At this moment, Lu Chen stood with his hands behind his back, his posture as straight as a pine tree, his eyes revealing a kind of detached temperament, just like a master from other worlds. Of course, all this was Lu Chen's pretense...
