Chapter 469
by fanqienovelChapter 469: Battle with Black Resentment (Part One)
Wait!
Just as Wang Chen was about to unleash the Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil, his outstretched right arm instantly retracted.
Using the Exorcising Net against Evil Spirits was undoubtedly the most effortless and efficient method—under the vast and expansive massive net, no Evil Spirit could escape, making it an unparalleled tool for eliminating them.
With the Exorcising Net fixed on his forearm, Wang Chen had lost count of how many Evil Spirits he had vanquished!
So, seeing fresh prey, he instinctively wanted to use this treasure.
But Wang Chen quickly remembered that he had newly acquired skills.
The Evil Spirits charging toward him were the perfect subjects to test the destructive power of his spells!
"Command!"
Wang Chen immediately formed a spell with his hands, releasing his voice like rolling thunder.
Crack!
Bolts of lightning instantly condensed in the air, the dazzling electric light illuminating the dark ruins, pouring down like rain and covering an area of dozens of steps around him.
Sky Thunder!
Under the thunder, any Evil Spirit struck was almost completely obliterated in an instant, reduced to nothing!
There were no survivors!
Sky Thunder was a powerful and vigorous lightning technique, passed down from the ancient immortal sect, vast and profound in its mysteries.
Although Wang Chen only practiced the Purple Palace-level Sky Thunder, he had spent several months on Thunder Isle pushing this spell to perfect mastery.
Even without using his full strength, the destructive power of the divine thunder unleashed was beyond what these low-level Evil Spirits could withstand!
[Virtue +8], [Virtue +14], [Virtue +10]…
Messages flooded Wang Chen’s vision, scrolling rapidly in a waterfall-like stream, making it hard to take it all in.
Refreshing!
Although Wang Chen currently lacked Heavenly Merit but had a surplus of Virtue, with tens of thousands of Virtue points accumulated in the past,
this exhilarating rush of notifications could not be matched by using the Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil.
Because the Evil Spirits eliminated by the Exorcising Net transformed entirely into spiritual energy, Wang Chen himself would not receive a bit of Virtue.
Unless he delivered the final blow.
But handling such a large number of Evil Spirits at once made that unrealistic!
Now, Wang Chen finally had a new means.
The hard work from several months on Thunder Isle was not in vain!
As one wave of Evil Spirits was completely wiped out, another wave of dark shadows surged forward.
Wang Chen walked forward calmly, his strong magical power surging forth, manifesting around him as countless streaks of destructive lightning.
No Evil Spirit could come within a ten-step radius of him.
However, as Wang Chen stepped deeper into the ruins, the number of Evil Spirits around him did not decrease due to the strikes of Sky Thunder; instead, they increased.
These Evil Spirits poured out from the remnants of walls and broken structures, like a hornet’s nest violently prodded, launching a frenzied attack on the "intruder."
They surged forward relentlessly, utterly indifferent to the annihilation of their own kind; even the most expendable cannon fodder paled in comparison to this!
Such a scene left Wang Chen somewhat astonished.
The Yinwind Cave had entirely transformed into an Evil Nest. Yet, the two adjacent underground caves remained unaffected; the Evil Spirits lurking here seemed imprisoned, as if confined within a cage, showing no inclination to invade the lands of the living.
It was crucial to understand that consuming the Qi and blood of sentient beings was the innate instinct of Evil Spirits, as well as the resources essential for their advancement.
The neighboring Xu Jiu and Xu Shi underground caves housed tens of thousands of inhabitants, ranging from ordinary folk to martial artists and cultivators.
For the Evil Spirits, they were an irresistible "feast."
However, the intelligence Wang Chen had gathered revealed that while the underground caves occasionally experienced disturbances from strange phenomena, they were not as secure as Daying City. Nonetheless, the overall situation remained relatively stable, with most of the emerging Evil Spirits being eradicated.
The situation in the Yinwind Cave was undeniably peculiar!
Wang Chen’s earlier intuition had not been mistaken; a great thunder indeed lay concealed here.
Although only low-level cannon fodder Evil Spirits had appeared thus far, past experiences told Wang Chen that something far more formidable still lurked within!
He would compel it to emerge!
"Lightning come!"
Wang Chen abruptly spread his arms, his entire body pulsating with energy, his robe billowing without wind, rustling fiercely!
The magical power surging from within him instantly multiplied severalfold, sweeping outward in all directions, the thunderclap abruptly intensifying to encompass a broader expanse.
Around Wang Chen, the remnants of walls and broken structures, long battered by the chilling winds, crumbled into dust upon being struck by the lightning.
Even more terrifying, amidst the lightning, electric light flickered, densely weaving into a colossal lightning web.
Countless Evil Spirits were instantly annihilated!
And this lightning web, upon striking the ground, astonishingly retained its destructive power, piercing through thick layers of mud and stone, delving deep underground.
This was the horrifying destructive power Wang Chen unleashed by channeling Perfected Level Sky Thunder with his full magical energy.
This was also the first time Wang Chen had unleashed this spell at its highest level without holding back!
With a single strike, who could tell how many Evil Spirits were transformed into Virtue points?
Wang Chen had no time to check.
Boom!
In the next instant, the ruins hundreds of steps away from him suddenly erupted, countless fragments and dust scattering in all directions.
A mass of black mist surged from the ground, soaring into the sky, rapidly condensing into a cloud spanning half an acre.
The dark cloud churned violently, twisting and morphing, taking on the form of a sinister head.
With hollow eyes, dark nostrils, and a gaping abyssal mouth that seemed poised to devour!
"Break!"
Wang Chen’s gaze sharpened, his right index and middle fingers forming a sword finger, pointing directly at the dark cloud.
Without a doubt, his full-powered Sky Thunder had successfully forced out the BOSS.
Crack!
As the saying goes, the law follows the word; Wang Chen’s unleashed magical power instantly coalesced into a thick bolt of lightning above the dark cloud, crashing down with ferocious intensity.
The expanding dark cloud was instantly pierced.
"Roar~"
A roar of agony reverberated through the underground.
The lightning-imbued dark cloud violently contracted, swiftly healing the punctured area.
This Evil Spirit, at least at the Black Grudge level, was clearly enraged and suddenly unleashed a stream of dark light toward Wang Chen.
Danger!
Wang Chen felt a chill run down his spine; without hesitation, he activated his magical energy and executed Shortening the Earth, darting dozens of steps away.
Boom!
The dark light slammed into the spot where he had stood, exploding with tremendous force.
In an instant, a massive crater appeared in the ground.
The scattered dark light transformed into countless tiny black rays, hurtling toward Wang Chen.
Upon closer inspection, they were swarms of beetle-like flying insects!
Though Wang Chen possessed an Invulnerable Vajra body, he dared not let these black insects swarm over him. He immediately conjured a Fire Crow Technique wreathed in blazing flames.
Whoosh!
As the Fire Crow collided with the swarm of black insects, a brilliant sword energy suddenly enveloped Wang Chen, propelling him into the air and swiftly closing the distance to the dark cloud.
The floating Evil Spirit instantly extended countless tendrils, densely converging toward Wang Chen, attempting to ensnare and capture him.
The confrontation between the two sides immediately escalated into a fierce close-quarters battle!
