Chapter 715: Suffering
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
According to the legends, many experts had died in the 800-mile River Lethe. In fact, even existences who were on the verge of breaking through to the ancient great emperor realm had died here.
One could imagine how terrifying it was.
And now, Qin Chen had already arrived in front of the River Lethe.
His face was reflected in the water of the River Lethe. It made him feel as if he had been in the River Lethe all along.
Qin Chen carefully squatted and scooped a handful of water. He immediately felt a bone-piercing coldness.
It made him sink into some kind of illusion. It was as if Qin Chen was frozen in place, unable to move an inch. His body was seemingly not under his control.
“What is going on?”
To Qin Chen, there seemed to be a mysterious and unfathomable power within the 800-mile River Lethe, given the appearance of this phenomenon.
He couldn’t stop the power. On the contrary, he even had the thought of jumping straight into the River Lethe.
However, Qin Chen knew that if he jumped in, he would die immediately. His primordial spirit would melt, and his body would turn into white bones that would sink to the bottom of the River Lethe, becoming a part of the countless experts who had died.
This was what shocked Qin Chen the most.
This place was indeed very creepy.
Qin Chen was currently guarding his mind, but as time passed, he could feel that the mysterious power in the River Lethe was continuously trying to draw him in.
If he gave in, he might not be able to survive.
In the end, Qin Chen couldn’t even sense what he was doing. It was as if he was going to enter the River Lethe.
This shocked everyone.
The big scorpion immediately let out a furious roar, “Elder King! No!” Hearing this roar, Qin Chen finally came to his senses.
He was instantly drenched in sweat. Cold sweat dripped from his forehead.
This was simply the most terrifying place in the world.
He had been unknowingly affected by the power of the River Lethe. This was even more terrifying than Daoist Jiuji’s illusion.
Daoist Jiuji’s illusion would make him think that what he saw was real. However, the mysterious power of the River Lethe would make Qin Chen believe that he was in reality.
These two were not on the same level, which was why Qin Chen felt so pressured.
Thinking of this, Qin Chen steeled his heart. He gritted his teeth and used the innate sword embryo to cut a bloody wound on his palm.
Instantly, intense pain was transmitted to his brain and allowed him to control himself.
Qin Chen didn’t want the terrifying River Lethe to devour his will.
He then looked at the surface of the River Lethe.
At some point, a layer of fog seemed to have risen on the surface of the River Lethe.
What was with the fog?
As the thick fog arrived, Qin Chen was enveloped within. The others could no longer see his figure. It was terrifying.
The big scorpion was trembling, not knowing what to do.
If they were to rashly move forward now, they would likely end up like Qin Chen once they entered the fog.
At that time, not only would they not be able to help Qin Chen, but they would even become his burden.
At this moment, Daoist Jiuji’s expression was also uncertain. He didn’t know why such a fog had been produced.
As far as he knew, this had never happened to the 800-mile River Lethe before.
Could it be that some kind of change had occurred in the 800-mile River Lethe?
This was the only way to explain why there was such a thick fog.
In the vast fog, Qin Chen could no longer tell where he was. He was at a loss for what to do now.
Qin Chen seemed to have already accepted the reality that he didn’t know how to cross the River Lethe.
If he couldn’t get across it, perhaps it would be better if he died.
In this way, he would be free of all burdens and be free forever.
Unknowingly, Qin Chen actually took another step forward.
One had to know that he was already very close to the River Lethe.
If he took two more steps, he would fall into the rolling River Lethe.
At that time, no one would be able to save him.
Once one fell into the River Lethe, one would sink.
At that time, even Qin Chen’s soul would dissipate and melt.
The strange power of the River Lethe was something that countless experts could do nothing about.
Qin Chen’s intuition told him that there was definitely something strange about the river. However, he had indeed currently lost the courage to continue exploring.
To him, it was all thanks to luck that he could get to where he was today. If he did not have the system, he would likely be like the people in the mortal world, being oppressed day and night.
Perhaps he would have already gotten married and had children, spending the best time of his life.
Perhaps he would’ve been dead and the grass on his grave probably reached three feet tall.
At this point, Qin Chen lost all motivation. He was like a monk who had seen through the mortal world. He no longer cared about life and death.
Just as he was about to take another step forward, for some reason, the Chaos Divine Ring in his primordial spirit trembled!
With this, Qin Chen’s soul trembled and his eyes widened.
At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his past self. His heart was filled with lingering fear. What exactly happened?
To think he had such terrifying thoughts and even wanted to walk into the River Lethe.
But now, he no longer had any thoughts.
Because he currently didn’t seem to have the strength to continue.
This thought was like a demon in his heart, gnawing at his heart.
It made Qin Chen extremely exhausted as if he had Schizophrenia. On one hand, he wanted to enter the River Lethe and end everything once and for all. On the other hand, he wanted to continue living and resist this incomparably difficult torture.
If it had been an ordinary person with an unfirm will, they would have fallen long ago. They would have taken the initiative to throw themselves into the River Lethe.
However, the current Qin Chen was in a state of constant torment and struggle.
If it wasn’t for the terrifying fog, he should be able to regain his normal rationality. But now, he couldn’t do anything..
