Chapter 655: Entering a Dungeon

Vajra Fist!

Wang Chen threw a punch, and before his fist even touched the skeleton, a powerful fist power erupted, instantly shattering the complete corpse into countless fragments.

Gray and white bone debris scattered everywhere, with only a relatively intact white bone claw remaining on Wang Chen’s ankle.

He stomped heavily on the ground, causing the bone claw to disintegrate.

【Virtue +75】

In the next moment, rustling sounds came from all directions.

Centered around Wang Chen, the ground erupted with white bone claws, sprouting up like rapidly growing mushrooms, which looked particularly eerie.

Soon, mounds of earth rose high as skeletons crawled out from underground.

Their dark eye sockets flickered with ghostly blue flames as they silently surged toward Wang Chen.

Some of the skeletons even wielded bone clubs, bone spears, and other weapons.

Seeing this scene, Wang Chen smiled.

These skeletons were numerous and looked quite terrifying, but in his eyes, they were just moving bundles of Virtue experience!

Although the experience points were a bit low, weren’t small buns still buns?

Wang Chen realized that being mysteriously sucked into this wormhole space wasn’t bad luck.

Instead, he had stumbled upon an opportunity!

Usually, he found it difficult to locate a place to grind for monsters!

At this moment, a massive wave of skeletons charged at him, trying to drown him in a sea of white bones.

However, what greeted them was a barrage of Fire Crows appearing out of thin air!

The Fire Crows, burning with flames, spread their wings and traced bright paths in the air, rushing towards the skeletal army with lightning speed.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The fierce explosions echoed continuously, with flames dancing along with the bone fragments, creating popping sounds like firecrackers celebrating the New Year.

【Virtue +65】【Virtue +59】【Virtue +72】…

With a single Fire Crow Technique, Wang Chen had defeated at least forty to fifty skeletons. Although each skeleton gave him only a two-digit number of Virtue points, the cumulative total was quite impressive.

The critical point was that it was simple and easy!

Yet, the forty to fifty skeletons were merely a negligible number compared to the army of skeletons emerging from the wormhole graveyard. More and more bones surged forward as if controlled by an invisible force, continuously rushing at Wang Chen.

Wang Chen glanced around, his left foot planted firmly on the ground to gather his magical power, preparing to soar into the sky.

The advantage of a high vantage point for bombarding was the best!

However, to Wang Chen’s surprise, his Air Snatching Technique had actually failed.

It wasn’t a failure in the conventional sense, but after he cast it, he couldn’t fly normally into the sky.

This wasn’t due to Wang Chen’s lack of skill; his Air Snatching Technique had already reached the level of perfect mastery, and his hovering time was significantly better than that of cultivators at the same level, making a failure improbable.

The reason was that there seemed to be a sky restriction in place here. As soon as Wang Chen left the ground, he felt an invisible force pressing down on him, making him feel like he was sinking in mud, causing his movements to become sluggish and stiff.

Where else could he soar into the sky!

Yet, he barely lifted three feet off the ground before being forcefully pressed back down.

Though slightly unexpected, Wang Chen paid it little mind. The instant his feet touched the ground, he thrust both palms forward with immense power.

Heavenly Dragon Vajra Palm!

A formidable palm force surged forth with an unstoppable momentum, sweeping away all the skeletons in its path.

These mindless undead were caught in a terrifying storm, as if trapped in a stone mill, twisted, shredded, and ground into dust!

In Wang Chen’s vision, the notifications of gained Virtue points cascaded like a waterfall.

At that moment, several skeletons finally managed to sneak up on Wang Chen from behind, raising their white bone claws or bone clubs to strike at his head.

The bone clubs whistled through the air with great speed and force.

Yet, such attacks were laughably ineffective against Wang Chen; before they could even touch him, an invisible magical barrier blocked them, causing the bone clubs to shatter upon impact.

“Lightning come!”

Without turning around, Wang Chen formed a spell with his hand, channeling his power.

Blue and purple lightning bolts descended from the sky, engulfing Wang Chen and all the skeletons within a ten-foot radius.

AOE!

The area-clearing effect felt like a powerful figure returning to a novice village.

It was utterly exhilarating!

But this was only the beginning.

Wang Chen’s spellcasting did not cease; instead, he continued, driving the summoned thunderstorm even further.

He ruthlessly swept through the army of skeletons in the graveyard!

Not a single skeleton could withstand even a hint of the lightning’s assault; any that were struck or even grazed by the edges would instantly shatter and crumble to the ground.

Sky Thunder truly lived up to its reputation as an exceptional method for Exterminating Evil, wielding tremendous destructive power against evil spirits and spirit beasts.

Strictly speaking, using Sky Thunder against these low-level skeletons was overkill.

He also paid a price for it — his dantian’s power was rapidly depleted in large amounts.

However, while such a cost would be unacceptable to other cultivators, Wang Chen didn’t care in the slightest.

Whatever power he consumed was replenished by the Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil.

Earlier, in District J9, Wang Chen had used the Exorcising Net to annihilate a vast number of evil spirits, amassing an enormous reserve of spiritual energy within it. Now, he was merely withdrawing a fraction to indulge freely.

It was all for the thrill!

In truth, Wang Chen’s indulgence also served as a form of emotional release.

After joining the Forbidden Prison Office, he first served as an apprentice prison guard in District C6.

Without a single mistake until his term ended, he was then relegated to the harsh environment of District J9.

There, he encountered a clash of divine beings.

Before he could even grasp what was happening, he suffered collateral damage and was banished to the Evil Abyss!

Wang Chen deeply felt the helplessness and sorrow of being a small figure; even with an unyielding spirit, he couldn’t prevent the buildup of emotions.

Let alone someone at his level, even an Ascendant holy being couldn’t truly sever emotional ties or desires.

At this moment, Wang Chen released all his pent-up negativity through the foolish skeletons!

Again and again, Wang Chen continuously unleashed Sky Thunder to “cleanse” the entire graveyard.

Any skeleton that dared to emerge was instantly crushed into dust by the lightning crashing down!

This was the sheer thrill of absolute domination.

But before Wang Chen could fully savor it, an overwhelming force suddenly swept over him, whisking him away.

After a dizzying spin, Wang Chen found himself back in the previous corridor.

As for the wormhole ahead, it had vanished without a trace.

There was no sign it had ever existed!

Wang Chen began to doubt whether his recent experience had been an illusion, but when he summoned his Cultivation Panel and saw the surge in Virtue points, he knew it had been real.

He felt as though he had just completed a dungeon quest.

A beginner’s wormhole dungeon!
