Yin and Yang intertwined, the violent storm suffocating.
Mu Chen trembled.
This era is truly terrifying!
A young man traveling outside, a slight lapse in attention, and he wouldn’t be able to protect himself…
The only solace is that the other party, like himself, is also experiencing the battlefield for the first time…
【You have staunchly supported Bai Su Zhen, successfully defending the righteous path, and received the following rewards: One Hundred Years of Cultivation, Devouring Heaven Magic Art!】
【One Hundred Years of Cultivation: The equivalent of the cultivation of a normal cultivator for one hundred years!】
【Devouring Heaven Magic Art: Contains 3,000 Transformations, imbued with the Law of Devouring, capable of devouring everything in the world, transforming it into the purest energy to nourish oneself. When cultivated to its peak, one can achieve the Primordial Chaotic Body!】
The sudden system prompt caught Mu Chen off guard, his expression a kaleidoscope of emotions.
Could it be that Senior Brother has been keeping something from me!?
He never said that slaying demons and defending the righteous path needed to be practiced separately!?
Before he could think further, a powerful force, like the Yangtze River surging, suddenly appeared in his dantian!
If ordinary cultivators cultivate like a snail, geniuses cultivate like a tortoise, and Mu Chen cultivates like a normal person taking a stroll, then his current cultivation level enhancement is like a rocket taking off!
True Person Realm First Heaven, broken!
True Person Realm Second Heaven, broken!
True Person Realm Third Heaven…
…
Nurturing Dan True Person Realm Ninth Heaven, broken!
The surge in cultivation stopped only after reaching the threshold of Half-Step Grand Master!
In just three or five minutes, he had traversed the path that would take a normal cultivator a hundred years to complete!
Furthermore, the system's output is exquisite, the immense improvement in a short period of time didn't make Mu Chen's cultivation foundation unstable; rather, it solidified his foundation!
Next second.
Endless, abstruse, and profound truths emerged in his mind!
With the system's help, he rapidly integrated them into his memory!
That deep, marrow-deep feeling was as if he had been immersed in this cultivation technique for countless years.
At the same time, a sudden change occurred in the land within a radius of tens of thousands of miles!
The sky, where the sun hung high, turned pitch black!
The sun, blue sky, and white clouds were all as if covered by an invisible hand!
The entire world was plunged into darkness, where one could not see their hand in front of their face!
Several towns, including Tongyuan Town, stopped their farm work, women stopped weaving, merchants closed their shops, and all the townspeople were filled with anxiety and astonishment!
On Longhu Mountain, the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
Zhang Jing Qing’s brow furrowed, his gaze fixed on the sky, his eyes filled with shock and confusion!
The scenes unfolding before him, even he, the Daoist Master of the number one Daoist sect, couldn’t fathom, couldn’t understand!
“Master, what… what happened?”
A young man with a bulbous nose and protruding ears stared at the sky, his face pale and his lips trembling.
“Master, could this change in the world be the chaos caused by great demons?”
Beside him, a young man with an arrogant aura and squinting eyes swallowed hard.
Zhang Jing Qing stared fixedly at the sky and mumbled, "Zhi Wei, Huai Yi, you two go offer a stick of incense to the Ancestor and ask him.”
The number one Daoist sect has its own heritage!
They have support not only below, but also above!
If all else fails, ask the Ancestor, you can’t go wrong!
The two disciples of the Heavenly Master didn't dare to neglect, lighting the incense before the ancestor’s tablet.
Boom~!
Boom~~!
Boom~~~!
A series of explosive sounds of shattering rang out.
Zhang Zhi Wei and Zhang Huai Yi were stunned, dumbfounded, “Lion Tiger, our Ancestor… the Ancestors exploded!”
“What!?!?!”
Similar scenes were happening throughout the land of Shenzhou, at the major mountain gates of both Buddhism and Daoism!
Maoshan, Gezao Mountain, Qingcheng Mountain…
Hanging Temple, Kubei Temple, Jinshan Temple…
All the mountain gates with a strong sense of curiosity and connections below will forever remember this heavy day!
Especially Jinshan Temple…
The Elder Monk Fa Hai, who had been stationed in the world for eight hundred years, was extremely powerful, having already become a Buddha in the mortal realm. When faced with problems, he would just roll up his sleeves and deal with it.
As a result, after a round of calculations, he hadn't figured anything out, but instead suffered backlash from the Heavenly Secrets, spitting out three mouthfuls of blood and suffering a significant loss of wisdom.
“Amitabha, I wonder if this change will be a blessing or a curse for our Jinshan Temple…”
He recited a Buddhist chant, his heart filled with worry.
The backlash from calculation could injure a Buddha in the mortal realm like him, it was simply unbelievable and terrifying!
It even made Fa Hai think of unspeakable existences, such as the Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors, the Five Elders…
“No need to worry, future generations have their own blessings…”
“This monk will resolve this earthly entanglement with the snake demon as soon as possible and head to the Western Paradise… ”
Thinking this, Fa Hai closed his eyes again and began calculating Bai Su Zhen.
“Puu~!!”
“This monk was careless and didn’t dodge!”
Not long after, Fa Hai suffered a second setback, spitting out a mouthful of blood, looking as if he had lost his faith in life, “It’s also this demon’s fault for being so cunning. She actually found the master of this change to be her patron… and didn’t even give this monk a heads up?!”
The scene shifts back to the dense forest.
Mu Chen’s consciousness was fully immersed in the wonders of the Devouring Heaven Magic Art.
Although its name implied a demonic nature, the true essence of this technique is pure, domineering, and uses all things in heaven and earth to build its foundation!
With Mu Chen’s current cultivation, he could only barely run the Mortal Scroll.
Even so, he still relied on this heaven-defying technique to forcefully reverse the situation!
With the cultivation of a Half-Step Grand Master, he beat Bai Su Zhen, who was only one step away from becoming a Fairy, to the point of defeat, forcing her to lose her weapons and armor!
Moreover, with every support, he could extract demonic energy from Bai Su Zhen to nourish his own body!
At this moment, Bai Su Zhen finally regained her consciousness.
The sight before her left her in disbelief.
She couldn’t understand why, when she merely wanted to get to know him and then take things slowly, how did it… how did it turn into this?
She checked her memory, knowing that it was her own initiative…
She… she couldn’t understand anymore!
The double blow to both her mind and body made her, a snake demon who had cultivated for over two thousand years, unable to help but break down.
“Could it be that I’m truly a bad woman?”
“Wuwuwu… I won’t dare anymore…”
“Please, stop… can we just pause for a bit?”
Time passed, and Bai Su Zhen had lost count of how many times she had suffered “crushing defeats.” Finally, Mu Chen above stopped.
After absorbing a vast amount of demonic energy, he contentedly fell asleep.
Looking at Mu Chen’s peaceful sleeping face, she found him so handsome, she couldn’t even muster up any anger.
Zhang Ailing once said that the path into a woman's heart is… that certain thing.
But before Mu Chen walked this path, his Demon Charmer constitution had already allowed him to enter Bai Su Zhen’s heart.
Now, the two combined, the effect was more than just double.
Moreover, Bai Su Zhen was originally someone who was gentle on the outside but strong on the inside, once she set her heart on someone, she would be willing to die for them.
“Sigh, things have come to this, there’s no point in saying anything more…”
“My dear…”
She reached out and gently stroked Mu Chen’s face, saying reluctantly, "When this concubine has dealt with Fa Hai, this lingering problem, I will come find you. Until then, you must take care of yourself.”
Bai Su Zhen put on her clothes, gave Mu Chen a light kiss on the cheek, and limped away in a hurry.
She had two reasons for doing so, one was to avoid implicating Mu Chen, the other was because she was too shy to face him.
