Chapter 1885: One Way Portal?

Behind them, the screeches of the insect swarm were already right at their heels! Dark shadows of the insects had appeared at the edge of the mushroom forest!Trapped before an impassable path, pursued from behind!
They were once again in dire straits!
"We’re done for! We’re really going to be insect food this time!" Su Xiaowan was on the verge of tears as she looked at the swarm pressing in step by step and the bottomless chasm beneath her feet.
Lin Wan’er was pale too, clutching Bai Ling’er tightly, a flicker of despair in her eyes.
Luo Qingchen scanned sharply across both sides of the chasm. The chasm was too wide—it was impossible to jump across. The cliffs on both sides were steep and smooth, offering almost no footholds.
Could it be that they really could only die here?
No!
Luo Qingchen’s gaze suddenly fixed on the opposite side of the chasm, where a portion of the cliff near the edge appeared.
There seemed to be several extraordinarily thick, dark purple vines entwined there. These vines were completely different in color from the surrounding stone walls and faintly emitted a weak energy fluctuation, suggesting that they might not be inanimate objects after all.
More importantly, he vaguely felt that the aura emanating from these vines bore an extremely faint, but indeed existent, similarity to the crystal stone pillars that formed the energy network back in the Star Dome Space!
An extremely bold thought instantaneously formed in his mind!
"Wan’er, Xiaowan, hold on to me!" Luo Qingchen shouted firmly, his tone leaving no room for doubt.
"Ah? Brother Luo, what are you going to do?" Su Xiaowan hadn’t had time to react.
Luo Qingchen no longer had time to explain. He unleashed the remaining Chaotic Power within him without reservation, using part of it to shield himself, Lin Wan’er, and Su Xiaowan, while directing the rest furiously into the Black Dragon Sword in his hand!
He wasn’t aiming at the approaching insect swarm behind them, but rather at those peculiar dark purple vines on the opposite side of the chasm!
"Chaos Sword Technique... Draw!"
This wasn’t an offensive sword technique, but a method Luo Qingchen had spontaneously deduced based on the all-encompassing nature of Chaotic Power. He intended to use the Chaotic Power as a bridge to establish a connection with and draw upon distant objects, requiring extremely precise control and immense energy expenditure!
Buzz!
The Black Dragon Sword emitted a low hum, and a thread of dense, misty sword light soared across the dozens of feet-wide chasm, precisely ensnaring the thickest of the dark purple vines on the opposite side!
Just as the sword light entangled the vines, Luo Qingchen felt a tremendous feedback force from the Black Dragon Sword. Simultaneously, those dark purple vines on the opposite side tensed abruptly, their surfaces even lit up with a faint, star-like purple glow!
They were indeed no ordinary plants!
"Hold tight!" Luo Qingchen roared again, veins bulging on his arm, Chaotic Power flooding the energy chain formed by the sword light like a deluge, pulling it back fiercely!
Simultaneously, the insect swarm behind them had already reached the edge of the chasm! The leading few dark-gold giant insects leaped unhesitatingly, attempting to jump directly over the chasm! Additionally, some smaller giant insects were crawling directly down the steep cliffs, trying to encircle them from below!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The three of them were abruptly lifted by a great force, flung like stones from a catapult, shooting towards the opposite side of the chasm! Beneath them lay the unfathomable abyss of darkness, while the howling gale and the angry screeches of the insect swarm filled their ears!
"Aaaaaah——!" Su Xiaowan clung desperately to Luo Qingchen’s arm, eyes tightly shut, emitting an ear-piercing scream.
Lin Wan’er also held Bai Ling’er tightly, her other hand gripping the hem of Luo Qingchen’s clothing. Her face contorted from the pressure of high-speed flight and spatial compression, yet her gaze remained fixed on the fast-approaching opposite side.
Thud! Thud!
Several giant insects that failed to jump plummeted straight into the abyss, swallowed by the darkness below before they could even scream. Yet those few dark-gold giant insects managed to grab hold of the cliff on the opposite side, their large mandibles opening and closing as they emitted threatening screeches, their scarlet compound eyes staring intently at the swiftly arriving trio of Luo Qingchen!
More dangerously, Luo Qingchen felt that the chaotic energy chain that connected him to the vines was becoming unstable under the immense pressure of their weight and high-speed flight, its light flickering as if it might break at any moment!
His Chaotic Power was really about to run out!
"Hold on!" Luo Qingchen gritted his teeth, squeezing the last thread of Chaos Origin from his Sea of Consciousness to sustain the energy chain!
Just before the energy chain was about to break, they finally collided violently with the cliff wall on the opposite side as if they were falling meteors!
Bang!
The massive impact nearly shattered the three of them. Luo Qingchen took the brunt of the blow, his back smashing hard against the solid rock, a bitter taste in his throat as he spat out a mouthful of blood, his vision growing dark.
But he dared not rest. The moment he landed, he reversed his grip on the sword and severed the energy chain, pulling Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan a few staggering steps towards an area away from the edge of the cliff where the vines were less dense, only then collapsing to one knee, gasping for breath.
The Black Dragon Sword was planted on the ground, supporting his shaky body.
"Cough cough... We’re safe... for now..." Luo Qingchen’s voice was hoarse, and he saw double.
Su Xiaowan sat limp on the ground, taking a long time to recover, instinctively patting her body, realizing her limbs were still intact, and only then did she fearfully pat her chest, "Scared... scared me to death... I thought I was going to fall..."
