It was a massive, long-haired man, a head taller than Long Chen, extremely strong. His upper body was bare, and his bronzed skin was covered with strange patterns.
He stood within a barrier, bound by chains that connected the upper and lower decks.
Black energy swirled on the chain, as if some kind of energy was slowly being poured into the man's body.
From a great distance, Long Chen and the others could feel the terrifying chaotic aura emanating from that person. Even if Uncle Huai didn't speak, they could guess that this was a being from the Chaos Era.
However, this creature had no sign of any aura, like a corpse. But why was a corpse bound with chains?
"Buzz!"
At that moment, a living being arrived at the junction interface and slowly extended its hand. Long Chen saw that the creature was actually clutching a crystal the size of a fingernail.
The crystal merged into the barrier and instantly transformed into threads like a spiderweb, enveloping the long-haired man.
When the black thread merged into the man's body, the chains behind him trembled slightly, and then Long Chen saw strange fluctuations emanating from the chains.
"It was actually extracting that person's life force. He wasn't dead." Long Chen was shocked—not only was he shocked, but even Uncle Huai was shocked.
This being from the Chaos Era is actually not dead and still has life force. This is terrifying—a being from the Chaos Age is actually still alive until now? Wouldn't that make you a real living fossil?
"It seems these beings and chains have drained his life force to prevent him from waking up.
Master, look—every step of these creatures is precise and flawless, like a timer.
They kept using the black crystal, constantly draining his life force. The strength of this chaotic era's powerhouse was astonishing, and this was the only way they could stop him from awakening.
This ghost ship seemed to be a prison for escorting prisoners, and in the entire prison, he was the only one. Uncle Huai said with a serious expression.
Long Chen nodded and said, "That should be the case. We just don't know where this ancient being comes from. Should we save him? If he wakes up and it harms us, I'm afraid we'll all die at his hands." Long
Chen looked at the burly, long-haired man. Although he stood there quietly, seemingly a corpse, Long Chen could sense the world-shattering energy within him.
Once he woke up, not only would he be the best, even a Heavenly Venerable-level expert would be like an ant before him.
From Uncle Huai's shocked expression, it was clear that this man from the Chaos Era was far stronger than him, simply not on the same level.
"Senior, senior, wake up, what's going on? What should I do? Long Chen was using his soul to call out to the dragon clan experts.
But the dragon clan expert did not respond. Long Chen called out several more times, but still there was no response. Just as Long Chen thought he couldn't reach the dragon clan expert, the dragon clan's voice suddenly rang out:
"Starry Sky warrior?" You actually ran into him? The
voice of the Dragon Clan expert was somewhat surprised; clearly, he hadn't expected Long Chen to encounter such a presence.
"Starry Sky Warriors?" Why does this name sound so familiar? It seems like I've heard about it somewhere. Long Chen was stunned. He had definitely heard this name somewhere before, but couldn't recall it for the moment.
"Of course I'm familiar with it. Back in Dan Valley, there was a little girl named Wanqing who asked you about the origin of the meteor.
You tricked her into saying you'd become an invincible Star Warrior in the future, and when the time came, pick a star to give her. Don't you have any impression of all the bragging you made? The dragon clan expert said irritably.
Long Chen immediately felt awkward. No wonder the name sounded so familiar—it was the brag he had bragged about before. He hadn't expected that the name he casually made up would actually exist.
To ease the awkwardness, Long Chen hurriedly said, "Senior, can he save him?" Should I save him? "
Of course you can save him. He won't attack you. The Ghost Emperor is trying to transport him to his lair and train him into his own puppet, which is why he's kept a trace of his life force alive.
However, the life force of the Star Warrior is extremely tenacious; if this trace of life force is not suppressed, it will awaken quickly.
Therefore, those beings kept using Ghost Dao crystals to restrict his life force, neither extinguishing the flame of life nor awakening him. The dragon clan expert said.
Hearing the Dragon Clan expert's words, Long Chen felt much more at ease. The enemy of the enemy is a friend. Whatever the Ghost Emperor wants to do, he can destroy it. Even if he gains no benefit, it doesn't matter.
Long Chen told everyone to stay here and not move around. He escaped alone, searching back and forth on the ghost ship. This ghost ship was too large and had a different structure from any ghost ship he'd ridden before. After searching for a long time, Long Chen finally found the core of the ghost ship.
Normally, the core is in the middle or bow, but the core of this ghost ship is at the stern.
Here, there was a huge ship's rudder sealed with a seal that couldn't be activated. Fortunately, Long Chen had experience and injected soul power into the rudder. Soon, the rudder responded, and once he could use it, he could control its direction.
But this time was different. Long Chen not only needed to control its direction, but also the entire ghost ship.
He painfully lifted the blindfold, and when his left eye opened, even with Long Chen's endurance, he nearly screamed in agony.
The moment his left eye opened, the Hellflower appeared. The ship's rudder trembled, and a Hellflower appeared in the same way. At that moment, everything on the ghost ship appeared in Long Chen's mind.
Long Chen clutched his eyes in pain. Now his left eye could no longer see anything, and before he could recover, he had to use it, making the injury to his left eye extremely severe.
After holding back for a while, Long Chen finally wiped the blood off his face. He was afraid Yu Qingxuan would feel bad seeing the blood, so he waited until he was fine before returning to his original spot.
It turned out that this ghost ship had three levels: upper, middle, and lower. The Starry Sky Warrior was trapped in the middle level, while the Ghost Emperor Crystal was stored in a box on the lower level.
The puppets kept shuttling back and forth between the lower and middle levels, their timing perfectly tuned. Originally, there was a barrier between the middle and lower levels, but after Long Chen took control of the ghost ship, the barrier no longer held any meaning for him.
Long Chen found the box containing the Ghost Emperor's crystal and discovered countless crystals the size of a fingernail, each containing endless death energy.
Long Chen didn't know what this thing was for, so he simply tossed it into the chaotic space. At that moment, the puppets arrived at the location of the chest. Since they couldn't get the Ghost Emperor Crystal, they started wandering around in place.
These puppets lost their way, standing there like puppets, not knowing what to do.
After finishing all this, Long Chen let Xia Chen steer the ship and steer the massive ghost ship.
Long Chen and the others stood guard beside the Starry Sky Warrior. Seven days later, the warrior's large hand suddenly trembled, and Long Chen and the others were instantly excited.
