Chapter 1431: Chapter 1402: The Pursuer
Li Chen waved his hand to put away the ring of the Mid-Heaven Realm Late Stage martial artist. To him, such a ring was not of much value anymore. However, Li Chen understood that although his strength was stronger than an ordinary person of the sa level, according to the ‘Taoist Magic’ teachings, the consumption of cultivation resources was far greater than that of the average person.
When it cos to resources, the more the better, of course.
Even at the Mid-Heaven Realm, and even in the Late Stage, to be so easily killed by Li Chen is bound to cause a sensation outside.
It should be known that after reaching the Heavenly Level, the disparity in cultivation will only grow larger. The gap between minor ranks could be as vast as heaven and earth. Yet, Li Chen, who is only at the Mid-Heaven Realm Initial Stage, was able to easily slay a Mid-Heaven Realm Late Stage martial artist. This is indeed a remarkable feat.
The terror of ‘Taoist Magic’ is evident here, but more importantly, Li Chen’s combat power has reached a terrifying level.
The power of all laws brought by all attributes has made Li Chen’s potential for strength developnt reach an astonishing level. This is the key to his ability to fight beyond his rank.
Of course, if the opponent’s cultivation could crush Li Chen, no amount of potential would help.
After all, cultivation is the most important aspect of a Martial Artist.
In just a short mont, Li Chen had already stepped out of the Blade Glow Storm.
With a wave of his hand, the wind roar of blade light completely dissipated, and the four people had already completely vanished. Without the protection of True Yuan and Law, their fragile bodies were torn to shreds by the wind roar in an instant.
anwhile, the blood glow of the Red Moon beca increasingly bright.
When Li Chen put away the Red Moon, it conveyed an intention to him.
It was about to evolve!
The Red Moon, which had accompanied Li Chen along the way, slain countless strong foes, and absorbed the blood of nurous powerful beings, was finally about to undergo tamorphosis!
Even Li Chen couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.
However, he also understood that during the ti the Red Moon was undergoing tamorphosis, he could only use other weapons.
Putting away the Red Moon, Li Chen walked over to Li Xinsheng and Rong.
Seeing Li Chen approaching, Li Xinsheng’s expression beca a bit complicated.
The first ti he saw Li Chen, Li Chen was just a weak Earth Level martial artist, but it hadn’t been that long.
In just a few months, Li Chen’s strength had beco unreadable to him. But Li Xinsheng was well aware that Li Chen was far stronger than he was.
At the very least, the four people from earlier were not sothing he could handle, yet Li Chen, with just his strength, easily killed those four disciples of the Extre Wing Sect.
He hadn’t even had the chance to offer help.
Of course, under the Blade Glow Storm of wind roar, he indeed couldn’t offer much help.
“Thank you,” Li Xinsheng said, looking at Li Chen with a complicated gaze.
In his eyes, Li Chen had already beco a true powerhouse. In such a place where the strong prey on the weak, even if Li Chen asked him for sothing, he would be unable to refuse.
“If there’s nothing else, you should leave here quickly. Nanxiang Prefecture may no longer be safe. I have to leave too. If fate wills it, we will et again,” Li Chen said with a shake of his head.
Li Chen’s words left Li Xinsheng stunned.
“Then… thank you very much,” he said while cupping his hands toward Li Chen. He then summoned his Windless Carpet, jumped onto it, and nodded once more to Li Chen, before the two quickly left.
Vaguely, Li Xinsheng also understood Li Chen’s nature a bit.
Dai Jun did not co out, perhaps due to matters related to Li Chen. However, this did not matter to Li Xinsheng. Dai Jun had always wanted to take advantage of Li Chen, which was sothing he had actually noticed, except he never ntioned it.
After parting ways in the Remnant Cloud Forest, there was actually no further relationship between them. Just now, for Li Chen to lend a hand was already considered a great kindness. Li Xinsheng was even prepared to pay a price.
Yet Li Chen asked nothing of him. Although this behavior was quite different from most people in the Heaven Realm, Li Xinsheng felt that befriending soone like this wasn’t a bad thing.
Watching Li Xinsheng leave, Li Chen also had so understanding of the other’s mindset.
Looking at it now, he too was beginning to adapt to the rules of the Heaven Realm, a thorough jungle law where the strong have the right to do anything to the weak, and the weak cannot resist. The stronger grow stronger, and the weak grow weaker—the Heaven Realm is just such a place.
Li Chen knew very well that he was still a weakling for now, but he was unwilling to remain a weakling forever.
…
“Whoosh—”
Sitting atop a Flying Spirit Instrunt, Li Chen was speeding along the way. He planned to leave the territory of Nanxiang Prefecture. Half of Extre Wing Sect’s power was within the boundary of Nanxiang Prefecture, and Li Chen thought he could not linger here for long, as he urgently needed to improve his strength. If discovered by the opposing side, it would indeed be a troubleso matter.
Even while traveling, Li Chen did not forget to cultivate. He took out a large pile of Spirit Crystals and began to absorb them madly.
Now that there are resources, Li Chen didn’t hold back. In just half a month, hundreds of superior grade Spirit Crystals turned to dust in his hands.
And Li Chen’s cultivation also progressed from the Mid-Heaven Realm Initial Stage to the Mid-Heaven Realm Mid-Stage.
Although his cultivation advanced by a minor rank, the amount of resources consud left Li Chen secretly aghast.
He originally thought the contents of his ring would be enough for his cultivation for quite so ti, but unexpectedly, one session depleted hundreds of superior grade Spirit Crystals.
It’s important to note, he rely advanced from the Mid-Heaven Realm Initial Stage to the Mid-Heaven Realm Mid-Stage. In terms of value, that’s equivalent to millions of low-grade Spirit Crystals.
Li Chen wasn’t sure how much more resources he’d need for cultivation in the future, but he understood now that his cultivation would be a bottomless pit.
“Sigh…” With a sigh, Li Chen thought of the ‘Taoist Magic’ he’d abandoned in the Five Elents Space and felt the surging True Yuan within him, uncertain whether he should laugh or cry.
The ‘Taoist Magic’ indeed granted him True Yuan cultivation far exceeding others of the sa level, but the consumption was unquestionably imnse.
This was just the Mid-Heaven Realm—what about when he advanced to the Envy Heaven Realm, Heaven Following Realm, Higher Heaven Realm, and Zuitian Realm? How would he cultivate then?
After checking his total assets, Li Chen suddenly felt like the items weren’t so abundant after all.
Just as Li Chen put away his ring, planning to land and figure out where he was, a sudden sound of Wind Breaker ca from behind.
“Hmm?”
While traveling, Li Chen had encountered many others on their journeys, but this ti, the person erging behind him was traveling in the sa direction.
Very quickly, Li Chen realized sothing was wrong because the individual was targeting him!
Although Li Chen was using nothing more than a fine instrunt, and his speed was not very fast, shortly, a flying spirit artifact resembling a small boat stopped in front of him.
At this mont, Li Chen could basically confirm that they were indeed coming for him.
At the ship’s bow stood a young man in a blue robe, whom Li Chen recognized at once. This clothing was clearly that of a disciple of the Extre Wing Sect.
“You run pretty fast, making us chase you for half a month.” The young man grinned at Li Chen.
Although the young man seed youthful, from his eyes to his skeletal structure, Li Chen could tell at first glance that this was surely an old codger who had lived for hundreds or even thousands of years!
And the aura emanating from the young man wasn’t of the Mid-Heaven Realm; it was… the Envy Heaven Realm!
Soon, several other Extre Wing Sect disciples in blue robes appeared behind the young man.
“Elder Brother Lang, is this the guy?” one Extre Wing Sect disciple pointed at Li Chen and asked.
“It is him. The remnant of my seal’s aura cos from him; the Alchemy Scroll on Zhou You must be with him!” Lang Youjie whispered to the people beside him.
“Rest assured, fellow disciples, as long as I can obtain the Alchemy Scroll and beco a Heavenly Pill Alchemist in the future, I will definitely refine pills for you all for free!”
Although Lang Youjie’s voice was low, Li Chen still heard it.
Or rather, Lang Youjie simply did not care whether Li Chen heard or not because, in his eyes, Li Chen was already a dead man.
“Alchemy Scroll?” Li Chen rembered that in the ring of the Mid-Heaven Realm Late-Stage he had killed, there was indeed an ancient-looking scroll, but in his haste to leave, he hadn’t taken a closer look.
But now, it seed that the opposition had done sothing with that scroll, hence they chased him all the way here?
“Kid, hand over your ring, and perhaps we can spare your life. But if you resist, don’t bla for being ruthless,” Lang Youjie declared from the ship’s bow, condescendingly looking at Li Chen.
Li Chen hesitated, not about whether to hand over the ring but about how to make his move.
The opposition comprised five people, including one at the Envy Heaven Realm. Though his aura wasn’t as strong as Houng’s, he was still an Envy Heaven Realm powerhouse, and the weakest among them had cultivation at the Mid-Heaven Realm Mid-Stage.
For him at present, it was indeed a significant challenge.
Moreover, the Red Moon seed to still be evolving, and facing such a lineup, even he wasn’t sure if he could break through.
“Didn’t you hear ?” Seeing Li Chen remain silent for a long ti, Lang Youjie’s expression turned sullen, “You have two choices: one, you hand over the ring yourself, and perhaps I’ll consider sparing your life; or two, we kill you and take the ring ourselves!”
Lang Youjie wasn’t particularly intimidated by Li Chen; he just worried that Li Chen, knowing their intentions, might destroy the Alchemy Scroll inside the ring.
Li Chen’s expression was uncertain, appearing to be contemplating sothing.
After a long ti, he sighed and said cautiously, “Fine, co take it yourself, but everyone else stays put!”
Hearing Li Chen’s words, Lang Youjie and his companions shared a mocking smile, seemingly amused by Li Chen’s futile caution.
“Alright, I’ll co alone.” Lang Youjie sneered and said.
