Chapter 295: Demon King's Strike
Chapter 295: Demon King's Strike
Chen's heart trembled. He knew the Demon King's attack would be incredibly powerful, but there was no way back now. He took a deep breath and channeled his spiritual power to its fullest potential. The air around him seemed to hum with the energy of his spirit.
The Demon King formed seals with his hands, and a huge phantom of a demon beast appeared behind him. The demon beast looked like a Qilin, but had wings, and exuded a terrifying aura.
As the Demon King's hand seals changed, the phantom of the demon beast opened its mouth and a bright beam of spiritual light whizzed towards Shi Chen.
Shi Chen saw this and didn't dare to delay even a little. He waved his hands and quickly cast a spiritual shield in front of him. Runes on the shield flickered, trying to resist the demon king's attack.
Before the spiritual light column and the shield collided, the Demon King's domain arrived first.
Beep!
The Demon King's domain descended, and Shi Chen felt as if he were surrounded by a ferocious beast. Invisible pressure pressed in from all sides, as if every inch of space was being stared at by pairs of hostile eyes.
In this Beast God Realm, Shi Chen could clearly feel the vague shadows of beasts moving around him.
They either roared or hummed, their voices intertwined, like a death song from the netherworld. Each roar carried a primitive, wild power that assaulted Shi Chen's mind.
The beast shadows began to merge, forming a huge prehistoric beast, which stretched out its huge claws and slapped Shi Chen.
He only had time to unleash his strongest Gold Realm, forming a golden shield, before it was shattered by the phantom's giant claws. The fragments of the shield flew everywhere like golden meteors.
The shadow of the giant claw instantly passed through Shi Chen's domain, transformed into the power of the domain, and enveloped him. Before Shi Chen could hold up the earth domain again, the spiritual light beam of the Demon King passed through the shield and hit him.
Shi Chen's body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, hitting the ground heavily and raising a cloud of dust.
He felt his blood surge, his internal organs shifting. A sweet, fishy taste surged up his throat, but Shi Chen forced it back, knowing he couldn't show weakness at this moment.
Struggling to stand up, Shi Chen stared at the giant beast from ancient times, secretly marveling at the power of the Demon King Realm.
"Haha! It's okay, but it's just a blow from the fusion stage. Since you have taken it, you can leave." The Demon King was arrogant and his momentum soared, glancing at Shi Chen.
Shi Chen gritted his teeth. Though he felt unwilling, he also understood the vast difference in strength between him and the Demon King. He slightly adjusted his chaotic breathing, looked at the Demon King, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, Demon King, for showing mercy. Shi Chen will remember this."
With that, Shi Chen turned and tried to leave. However, with every step, he could feel the turmoil in his spiritual energy and the pain from his injuries. He straightened his back, not wanting to appear even slightly embarrassed in front of the Demon King.
He flew for dozens of miles before landing in a sand valley surrounded by sand hills on three sides. He swallowed a healing pill, sat down cross-legged, and began to heal his wounds.
Watching the human cultivator fly away, the Demon King's contemptuous expression became serious. He narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the void, and followed Shi Chen's retreating back.
"Although this boy's cultivation is still shallow, it is not easy for him to withstand this attack from me in the fusion stage. He has a solid foundation and can still remain calm and find a way to survive in desperate situations. With time, he will become a great man." The Demon King murmured to himself, and he had a new understanding of Shi Chen's potential.
However, thinking of the current situation in the cultivation world, the Demon King frowned again.
Shi Chen's arrival broke the barrier. I wonder what the higher-ups are planning now. There's still some time before I can leave, but it's not up to me to decide. Sigh! I regret agreeing to stay here.
Half a minute after Shi Chen left, the Demon King flew away into the air, flying rapidly in the direction he came from.
In the sand valley surrounded by sand hills on three sides, Shi Chen sat cross-legged, his face as pale as paper. His forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, which slowly slid down his cheeks.
After taking the attack from the Demon King, he was seriously injured. If it weren't for his physical training, an ordinary cultivator would probably have died on the spot with just one blow.
The spiritual energy within his body was like the surface of a storm-ravaged sea, chaotic and chaotic. His meridians were damaged in many places, some even showing tiny cracks. The spiritual energy flowed through them with difficulty, as if it would stagnate at any moment.
Shi Chen struggled to practice his technique, guiding the healing elixir's medicinal power to diffuse through his body. The power flowed like a warm current, slowly nourishing his damaged meridians. However, with each wound healed, he felt a piercing pain.
"This battle with the Demon King has made me realize that my strength is far from enough. In this world of cultivation full of dangers, if I can't improve my strength as soon as possible, let alone saving all living beings, I'm afraid I won't even be able to protect myself." Shi Chen thought secretly in his heart, his eyes revealing a firm determination.
He endured the pain and continued to devote himself to healing. As time passed, his injuries were gradually brought under control, and his chaotic spiritual power began to slowly return to normal.
Three days later, Shi Chen woke up from his recuperation and found that his sitting body had been buried up to his chest in the yellow sand blown by the desert wind.
He stood up, shook off the yellow sand on his body, and used a cleansing spell to clean himself.
Shi Chen stood in the sand valley and looked up. He saw rolling dunes like golden waves, gleaming brightly in the sunlight. A fierce wind howled across the desert, stirring up clouds of yellow sand and forming small sandstorms that roamed freely across the desert.
This battle is still far behind the high-end combat power in the cultivation world. I must find a place to advance and merge as soon as possible. This is the top priority.
Next, should we go to the underwater palace in Jingxi Sea, or to the floating city on the sea in Xiyuan Sea?
Shi Chen frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.
The underwater palace in Jingxi Sea is rumored to have been left behind by a powerful aquatic being in ancient times. The palace is filled with rich water spiritual power and is guarded by many mysterious formations.
The floating city on the sea of Xiyuan Sea is a mysterious city in the sky.
It drifts across the Xiyuan Sea, sometimes disappearing, sometimes appearing. Even if one is unlucky and searches for hundreds of years, they may not find it. Although the spiritual energy there is pure and powerful, it is said to still retain some ancient heritage.
However, Shi Chen no longer asked for cultivation and inheritance of skills. With the Xuanhuang Pearl and more than ten spiritual veins sent by true spirits, his cultivation speed increased exponentially.
The practice of the exercises has changed from being passed down to being used for reference and deduction, creating a practice that suits oneself.
After careful consideration, Shi Chen decided to go to the underwater palace in Jingxi Sea first.
First, find an uninhabited island on the Jingxi Sea, advance your cultivation to the fusion stage, and then go explore.
