Chapter 227: The Undying Nether Emperor (8)
Su Chen had not expected to meet an old acquaintance again right after leaving seclusion.
Chen Tianyi had changed greatly. He had broken through to the Spirit Sea realm. With a lifespan of three hundred years at this level, he was now over a hundred years old. Though he still appeared as a middle-aged man, his temples had turned white. Dressed in luxurious robes, he carried the noble air of someone accustomed to high status.
Chen Tianyi also noticed Su Chen. After so many years, he recognized the massive black divine bird at once. It was the same crow he had encountered in his youth. And now, it had slain a Demon King.
Upon reuniting with this old acquaintance, Chen Tianyi cautiously shielded his wife and daughter behind him and stood in confrontation with the divine bird.
In Chen Tianyi's eyes, Su Chen saw wariness and… fear.
Fear was the instinct of all living creatures. Courage was humanity's hymn of praise.
Su Chen spread his wings. The resulting gusts of wind were like countless blades scattering in all directions.
Chen Tianyi struggled to resist the violent storm. By the time he regained his senses, the divine bird had already vanished without a trace. In his ignorant youth, he had not understood.
Only now did Chen Tianyi realize just how sacred the crow he had met back then truly was. Even so, what he knew was only a tiny corner of the whole picture.
