The deepest part of the cave.
This was an extrely dark and terrifying place, so pitch-black that you couldn’t see your hand in front of your face; even ntal Power could not spread out here.
CLANG!
The sound of scraping chains echoed, like the return of the god of death.
Seventy long years have passed, and finally, soone has entered. To think they even annihilated one of my Shade Ghosts. Quite impressive Sword Intent. Not bad, you have the qualifications to beco my new vessel.
GHEHEHE, the last brat who ca in managed to escape by a fluke. This ti, he won’t be so lucky.
A dreadful voice murmured to itself from the depths of the darkness.
Go, my children, bring that boy to !
A faint ripple emanated, and an endless, sinister wind surged up through the fissures. If one could see it, they would know this thing was identical to the previous Shade Ghost, but their numbers were unimaginable, dense and surging out in all directions.
「...」
Within the unfathomable depths of the cave, a chilling aura perated everything, making one’s mind uneasy.
At this ti, Ling Chen was still unaware that he was being targeted. He continued to venture deeper into the Demon-Burying Cave, searching for the Longevity Fruit.
Although the Demon-Burying Cave was extrely deep, Ling Chen had already learned so characteristics and the approximate location of the Longevity Fruit from Wutugu, so it wasn’t quite like searching for a needle in a haystack.
The Longevity Fruit should be nearby.
Ling Chen arrived at the bottom of the crevice. Not far ahead, he caught sight of what seed to be shafts of colorful light shimring. His heart stirred, and he quickened his pace, soon arriving in the area illuminated by the radiant light.
In his line of sight, the source of the colorful light was a tree fifty feet high. This tree was enveloped by a thin layer of black fog, but it still couldn’t block the brilliance the tree itself emitted.
This tree was the Longevity Tree.
On that Longevity Tree, fruits emitting a strong Life Breath were clearly visible. Their presence could be sensed even from afar.
This is the Longevity Fruit.
Ling Chen’s eyes lit up. Heaven rewards the dedicated; he had finally found it.
There were about seven or eight fruits on the Longevity Tree, but most of them were a very unripe green.
Only one fruit had already turned completely red, as if soaked in fresh blood, emitting a faint, strange fragrance.
Just a whiff of this fragrance was enough to make one feel refreshed, even causing the vital energy within their body to beco considerably richer.
This special feeling made Ling Chen increasingly certain that this item was undoubtedly the Longevity Fruit.
He took out a Brocade Box from his Heavenly Mansion Ring, then carefully plucked the Longevity Fruit and placed it inside.
Got it.
After storing the Longevity Fruit, Ling Chen slowly let out a breath. No matter how dangerous the Demon-Burying Cave was, his purpose for entering had been achieved.
RUSTLE! RUSTLE! RUSTLE!
Just then, faint, subtle sounds suddenly ca from all directions. Although these rustling noises were very soft, they couldn’t escape Ling Chen’s ears.
A sense of danger suddenly struck. Ling Chen swiftly turned around. His Sword Intent instinctively ford a shield, and like cutting through paper, it slashed an approaching blurry figure into dozens of pieces, making it difficult for the figure to heal.
Automatic Sword Intent shield, huh? You’ve got so skills!
A surprised exclamation ca from the depths of the earth, seemingly particularly wary of Ling Chen’s Sword Intent.
Hmph! Even Top Sky Apex Strong would be worn down by the Shade Ghosts I created. I wonder how many you can handle? If you possessed power above the Seventh Realm of Sky Apex, I might have hesitated a bit, to save my Shade Ghosts’ energy. Unfortunately, you are rely a Grand Master. You have so Sword Intent power, but your control over it is far from adequate. Attack! Take his body!
The voice settled, becoming chilling and terrifying.
THRUM! THRUM! THRUM! THRUM! THRUM! THRUM! THRUM!
Invisible vibrations spread out as countless Shade Ghosts rushed out from the river, pouncing towards Ling Chen.
"Kill!" Ling Chen bellowed, his murderous intent erupting wildly. Rings of Sword Intent halos spread out. Within a three-ter radius centered on Ling Chen, no Shade Ghosts could approach. They were all repelled. The repelled Shade Ghosts, their limbs growing weak, suddenly lost their strength and sank into the river to recuperate.
"Return!"
A voice sounded from the depths of the earth. The injured Shade Ghosts returned the way they ca, finally fading into the darkness. The next mont, new Shade Ghosts burst forth, joining the battle.
So many Shade Ghosts!
Shock colored Ling Chen’s face.
"Invincible Sword Intent, eradicate everything! Thousand Swords Simultaneous Movent!"
In just an instant, Ling Chen reacted. Previously, he had rely activated his Slaughter Sword Intent. Now, he pushed his Invincible Sword Intent to its absolute limit, its power abruptly leaping to a higher tier.
The Invincible Sword Intent spread like a storm, sweeping in all directions. The Shade Ghosts were first sliced into segnts, then swept away by its force, dissolving into nothingness with no chance of recovery.
Damn it, this is a second-tier Sword Intent, imbued with the attributes of Destruction, Slaughter, and Despair! Where did he comprehend it from?
I want to see just how tough this boy is!
Suddenly, the multitude of Shade Ghosts began to writhe, seeming to ld into one another like viscous ooze, finally forming an imnse Demon Shadow. A large black hand reached out from it, ferociously grabbing for Ling Chen.
Condense!
A sharp light flashed in Ling Chen’s eyes. Sword Intent, as vast as a tide, condensed before him into a Giant Sword, which then violently collided with the large black hand.
BANG!
The black hand was blocked by the Giant Sword condensed from Sword Intent, unable to press down. It was even torn by the Sword Intent, revealing small cracks.
The voice roared, "Explode!"
Following the fierce shout, the Demon Shadow’s body suddenly emitted a blinding light and violently exploded. The stacked shockwaves were powerful enough to instantly kill a Top Sky Apex Strong. Defense was Ling Chen’s weak point. An unprecedented sense of crisis flashed through his mind. He unleashed a rarely used technique, Ancestral Dragon Whirling Abyss! A dragon shadow coiled around Ling Chen, enveloping him. He simultaneously reinforced his Protective True Qi, striving to withstand the blast’s power.
RUMBLE!
The imasurable underground space nearly collapsed, and the ground of the Demon-Burying Cave above cracked, forming a trendous fissure, as if cleft in two by a giant axe.
Don’t die; it would be such a waste if you did.
In the darkness, that chilling, malevolent voice echoed once more. He had been forced to detonate the Demon Shadow directly to inflict heavy damage on Ling Chen, hoping not to kill him. If Ling Chen died, his plan to seize his body would be ruined.
As the light receded, not far off, Ling Chen stood leaning on his sword, blood streaming from his seven orifices.
Haha, he didn’t die! Heaven is on my side! This boy is seriously wounded and surely weakened. It’s the perfect ti to take over his body!
Dozens of Shade Ghosts moved, rushing towards Ling Chen.
Not good!
Ling Chen had been severely injured by the explosion. He had no strength left to activate his Invincible Sword Intent again and was suddenly plunged into a great crisis.
