Chapter 472: Wrapping Up and Leaving

[Virtue +58], [Virtue +62], [Virtue +59]…

In the Cavern of White Bones, Wang Chen stood motionless at the spot where he had previously leapt down, surrounded by roaring lightning that mercilessly slaughtered wave after wave of Evil Spirits.

The notifications flooding his vision revealed that the Evil Spirits invading the underground were growing stronger, contributing to his increasing Virtue.

Yet, none of these Evil Spirits surging from the stone passageways could withstand a single strike from the Sky Thunder.

No matter how ferociously they charged or how fearless they were of death, they could not come within ten steps of Wang Chen!

Under the relentless barrage of thunderous destruction, the heaps of white bones were reduced to dust and fragments.

Despite maintaining such an overwhelming onslaught, Wang Chen showed no signs of exhaustion.

The spiritual energy within the Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil flowed ceaselessly into his body, instantly transforming into magical power.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the once dark and sinister Cavern of White Bones was completely purged of any trace of dark forces, cleansed by the destructive power of thunder. Even the surrounding rock walls shimmered with faint electric light.

This was a sign that the rocks had absorbed the power of thunder!

The Evil Spirits that rushed into the underground later were reduced to wisps of gray smoke before they could even taste the divine thunder.

They twisted in grotesque forms, as if struck by high voltage, beyond the healing powers of even the Waters of the Ganges.

[Virtue +72], [Virtue +82], [Virtue +79]…

When the spiritual energy stored in the Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil was more than half depleted, the number of Evil Spirits invading the underground suddenly dwindled, but their strength was noticeably greater.

The newly emerged Evil Spirits resembled apes, using their long arms to cling to the cave entrance and leap out, lunging toward Wang Chen.

Their crimson eyes burned with malice and savagery.

Yet, even these Evil Spirits failed to breach the barrier of the Sky Thunder.

Combat was the ultimate method for honing spellcasting experience.

Although Wang Chen had already achieved perfect mastery of the Sky Thunder, only the skill level had improved; the actual techniques and applications could not be directly enhanced through the Cultivation Panel.

The battles in the Yinwind Cave and now the sweeping purge of the Cavern of White Bones allowed Wang Chen to unleash divine thunder with full force repeatedly, undoubtedly accelerating his combat experience.

With the insights of the Perfected Level, his understanding of the lightning technique deepened.

His spellcasting skills improved, increasing their lethality and range, while the magical energy consumed decreased.

Through this accumulation—or the relentless exploitation of his own potential—Wang Chen suddenly gained a new understanding of this spell.

He abruptly raised both arms, fingers splayed, their tips crackling with electric light.

Zzzzt!

In the next moment, a strange hum resonated as streaks of azure electric snakes shot from Wang Chen’s fingertips.

They struck with pinpoint accuracy, simultaneously injecting lightning into the ten caverns on either side!

“Aaaah!”

Piercing screams echoed from afar, only to be drowned out by the thunderous explosions.

The underground trembled violently, and countless fragments of rock and dust cascaded down.

Wang Chen slowly turned, his outstretched fingers continuously releasing lightning, the dazzling beams lashing against the hard rock walls and surging into other passageways.

Some Evil Spirits that had just emerged were instantly pierced and turned to ashes.

“Kill!”

Wang Chen suddenly shouted, his originally dark eyes transforming into a bluish-purple hue, his entire body enveloped in electric light.

The ten electric snakes he controlled instantly thickened to twice their size, becoming electric pythons that crashed into the stone caves with an unstoppable force, creating even greater destruction.

At this moment, Wang Chen had pushed his power to its limit.

He entered a state akin to overclocking.

The magic power he consumed could not be replenished immediately!

Boom!

The tremors in the Cavern of White Bones intensified, as large chunks of rock fell from the walls.

There were even signs of collapse!

Wang Chen clenched his fists tightly.

He crouched down, both fists simultaneously striking the ground.

Bang!

With a muffled sound, the bones beneath Wang Chen turned to dust, his unmatched fist power smashing into the ground with a force like splitting bamboo, tearing through thick layers of rock.

In the next moment, he leaped high into the air, propelled by the sudden flash of sword light as he charged into the passage he had previously descended.

At that moment, beneath Wang Chen, the entire underground seemed to be repeatedly squeezed by an invisible and terrifying giant hand, shattering and collapsing into pieces.

Dozens of Evil Spirits rushed from the passage only to be buried under falling rocks.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Chen returned to the Yinwind Cave.

The Yinwind Cave was also trembling, though not as violently as the Cavern of White Bones; only large areas of the ground showed signs of collapse.

Wang Chen burst out of the cave, soaring up several dozen feet, then dissipated the sword light as he plummeted back down.

Bang!

He struck the ground again.

This time, however, Wang Chen transformed his fists into palms, channeling robust energy into two enormous palms that slammed heavily onto the sunken ground.

The Heavenly Dragon Vajra Palm was used by Wang Chen to create an effect similar to the Buddha’s Palm!

In an instant, the earth cracked!

At this point, Wang Chen chose not to continue dismantling the underground, quickly flashing into the tunnel leading to Xun Nine Underground.

The rumbling sounds of collapse echoed behind him, persisting without end.

Wang Chen glanced back.

The Yinwind Cave now resembled a scene of apocalypse!

However, the sense of crisis that had loomed over Wang Chen greatly diminished, causing him to breathe a sigh of relief.

The previous feeling the Yinwind Cave gave Wang Chen was like a giant powder keg, ready to explode at any moment.

Now, after his whirlwind of destruction, the powder keg was in disarray and flooded with water.

Although danger still existed, the likelihood of an incident had significantly decreased.

Even if it were to explode, the power would inevitably be much reduced.

It was known that the Yinwind Cave was located beneath the Xun district, which Wang Chen governed; if this powder keg truly blew up, he, as a celestial guardian, would undoubtedly be the first to bear the brunt, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Now he could finally sleep in peace.

“Roar~”

At that moment, a deep growl came from the depths of the Yinwind Cave.

It was filled with anger and resentment.

Like a severely injured Giant Beast bellowing in despair, facing an unbreakable dilemma.

It sent chills down the spine.

Wang Chen squinted and then withdrew his gaze.

The Yinwind Cave and the Cavern of White Bones below were merely the parts he could currently access; the truly terrifying entities likely lurked far deeper.

But for some reason, they remained hidden.

Wang Chen’s earlier actions to destroy the Cavern of White Bones were undoubtedly the right choice; continuing would risk provoking something that could crush him, which would mean his own dead.

He activated the Spirit Concealment Technique and blended into the already disturbed Xun Nine Underground, quietly returning to the surface.

Once the matter was settled, he left without a trace, hidden for both merit and fame!
