#348 - Wu Changming: What about my huge spiritual world?
Winter thunder is quite unusual.
Especially with the constant thunder outside, shaking the earth and causing countless dust particles to fall from the houses.
The qi of heaven and earth is in chaos, and the magnetic field of heaven and earth is agitated. At this time, whether it is a Yang God or a god, facing the agitated magnetic field of heaven and earth, they cannot use any supernatural powers and are all reduced to ordinary people.
"What happened?" Xie Lingyun felt the chaotic magnetic field between heaven and earth, and couldn't help but lose her color, her eyes full of horror.
"Yin Gods should not leave their bodies! Otherwise, they will be backlashed by the laws of heaven and earth!" Zhang Chen felt the chaotic magnetic field between heaven and earth, and quickly warned Xie Lingyun, then walked out of the house and looked into the distance, only to see that the sky, which was still clear just now, was now covered with dark clouds, and lightning bolts were constantly swimming in the clouds, illuminating the entire cloud layer.
Looking up, I saw that the entire sky was covered with a layer of lightning web, constantly shuttling through the clouds.
At this time, streaks of thunder fell from the sky, hitting the eaves and trees.
A lightning storm swept through the world, and lightning vortices formed. The thunderclouds covered the entire sky, stretching for an unknown number of miles.
Xie Lingyun had refined her Yin God and was most sensitive to thunder. At this time, she sensed the thunderous qi in the sky, and her soul shrank into a ball, her body trembling.
"What happened?" Xie Lingyun stood behind Zhang Chen with a pale face, raised her head to look at the thunderclouds in the sky, her body trembling instinctively.
"The first heaven of the spiritual world has collapsed!" Zhang Chen said.
Hearing this, Xie Lingyun's face was surprised: "It actually caused such a commotion?"
"When two worlds collide, the exchange and induction of laws will naturally cause anomalies in the world," Zhang Chen said.
Xie Lingyun looked at the thunderclouds in the sky and sighed faintly: "It's a troubled time!"
It is indeed a troubled time!
Zhang Chen put his hands in his sleeves, looked at the thunderclouds in the sky, and closed his eyes to sense the direction of the Bashe. He wanted to devour the essence, qi, and spirit of the Bashe to increase his points.
The Bashe's body is so big, it shouldn't affect the Bashe if I devour a little to improve my skills, right?
At this time, the Jiao Jiao Si warriors in iron armor in the Taoist temple also hid in the houses, fearing that the iron armor on their bodies would attract thunder and cause them to die on the spot.
Even those who have achieved success in cultivation will lose half their lives if they are struck by lightning.
While Zhang Chen and Xie Lingyun were chatting idly in the house, Wu Changming was in seclusion, his mind and will manifested in the spiritual world.
The place where Wu Changming's soul was located was a picturesque valley, with beautiful scenery of high mountains and flowing water. Wu Changming was absorbing mysterious substances in the spiritual world to cleanse his soul, but suddenly a thunderbolt rolled up in the distant void, and a thunderbolt exploded out of thin air, followed by a burst of earth-shattering tremors.
Wu Changming, who was cultivating and meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and looked over. The next moment, his whole person was stunned. He saw a 'dark mouth' opening in the distant sky, tearing at the entire world. Wherever the mouth passed, thousands of mountains and rivers disappeared, as if they were erased out of thin air, turning into eternal darkness.
"That is——————"
A thought flashed through Wu Changming's mind. Before he could react, his physical body in the material world suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes full of horror: "What the hell? How could a big mouth appear in the spiritual world and swallow the entire world?"
The most important thing is that Wu Changming found that his connection with the spiritual world had disappeared, as if his connection with the spiritual world had never existed.
"How could such a change happen in the spiritual world? Where is my spiritual world's telepathy?" Wu Changming tried his best to run the magic formula, trying to sense the spiritual world, but found that the spiritual world, which used to be tried and tested, no longer had any sense, as if the spiritual world had never existed.
At this moment, there was lightning and thunder outside, and the whole world changed, causing his soul to tremble in his body.
Looking at the thunderclouds in the sky outside the window, Wu Changming's eyes were full of horror: "What on earth happened? It's really scary to have lightning and thunder in the cold winter months!"
At this moment, the entire northern region was shrouded in the majesty of heaven and earth, and countless people raised their heads to look at the thunderclouds in the sky, their eyes revealing a hint of horror.
At this time, Zhang Chen silently circulated his mana and felt that his mana was still operating as usual and was not affected by the outside world, so he felt relieved.
At this time, Zhang Chen had already sensed the soul of the Bashe, but the state of the Bashe's soul was a bit strange at this time. It seemed that after landing in the material world, it was suppressed by the laws of the material world. The Bashe was shrouded in lightning, and the entire Bashe's body was constantly shrinking.
The Bashe, which stretched for thousands of miles, was shrinking rapidly at an incredible speed, and finally, after being tempered by the thunder, it turned into ten miles in size and fell into a barren mountain.
"No, it's not that the essence of the Bashe's body is shrinking, but that the essence qi in the Bashe's body is flowing back to the world," Zhang Chen thought thoughtfully: "It seems that my idea of retaining the Bashe's body and waiting for the Bashe to be resurrected has failed, because the essence in the Bashe's body is constantly returning to the world, and I'm afraid that the body will decay and dissipate before the Bashe's remnant soul is resurrected."
"What are you thinking about?" Xie Lingyun hid behind Zhang Chen and asked.
"A great fortune has fallen, and that fortune is destined for me." Zhang Chen said while taking out the black hat hanging on the wall and putting it on: "I'm going out, you hide in the Taoist temple and have a good rest to avoid the calamity."
"The lightning outside is so fierce, wouldn't it be terrible if you were struck by lightning now?" Xie Lingyun was shocked when she heard this.
"It is precisely because everyone can't go out that I can get the greatest benefit by going out at this time. Moreover, although the lightning in the sky is fierce, it is not impossible for me to avoid it." Zhang Chen said while walking out of the house: "Take care of Xiaodouding for me."
Looking at Zhang Chen who broke into the outside courtyard, Xie Lingyun's eyes were full of shock, and after a long time, she sighed softly: "He has no support in the northern region but possesses such incredible strength. He is really working too hard, he deserves to be successful."
She wanted to follow Zhang Chen to rush out to find the fortune that fell from the spiritual world, but she still did not dare to disobey the majesty of Tianlei and did not dare to step out of the threshold.
Zhang Chen walked in the courtyard, and at this time activated his skill to control the water technique, and all the water vapor within a radius of thirty meters around him was repelled.
Zhang Chen also knows the basic principles of physics. As long as he isolates the moisture in the air, no matter how fierce the thunder outside is, it will not be able to do anything to him.
As long as there is no moisture within twenty meters around him, the thunder will not be able to strike him no matter what.
The thunder shook the sky, and Zhang Chen only felt as if a cannon was exploding in his ears. At this time, there was no one outside Huangli Temple, and all the disciples hid in the houses, not daring to take half a step out.
Zhang Chen smoothly exited the Taoist temple and sped off towards the location where the Bashe had fallen.
He didn't know how long the thunderstorms in the sky would last, but he knew that the time he had left was definitely limited.
Even though the Bashe's essence, energy, and spirit were constantly dissipating into the world, its body was still ten miles in size. Even if he had a month, he wouldn't be able to devour it completely. All he could do was reach there as quickly as possible and absorb as many points as he could.
Zhang Chen sped along, the Blood Control Art circulating within his body. Blood constantly flowed from the crystal core, nourishing the hundreds of acupoints around Zhang Chen's body, keeping his stamina at its peak. Zhang Chen maintained a hundred-meter sprint, disappearing into the vast wilderness.
As for why Zhang Chen didn't use the Divine Water Transformation, he had two concerns. First, the Divine Water Transformation wasn't fast when traveling underground, only about the same speed as an ordinary person walking.
As for transforming into clouds and flying away, Zhang Chen dared not. Transforming into clouds would inevitably attract lightning, and Zhang Chen was afraid of being struck to death.
He knew that when Zhang Chen was in a transformed state, he couldn't use all of his divine abilities.
As for transforming into a vampire bat and flying through the mountains, although Zhang Chen's Blood Control Art had reached the fifth level, he was no different from an ant in the face of the vast power of heaven and earth.
Therefore, for Zhang Chen, using his legs to travel directly was the best way.
Zhang Chen ran rapidly, his speed not slow, nearly ten seconds for a hundred meters, maintaining the level of a sprint champion. A thousand meters was only a hundred seconds.
A hundred meters in ten seconds, half a kilometer in five hundred meters, was only five hundred seconds.
And a hundred kilometers was only a thousand seconds, about seventeen minutes.
The place where the Bashe fell was only about four hundred miles away from Zhang Chen. After running wildly for two hours, including detours due to cliffs, he arrived at the Bashe's landing point, enduring the thunderstorms in the sky.
Looking from afar, the Bashe lying on the ground looked like a mountain range, prostrate on the earth.
At this moment, in Zhang Chen's Dharma Eyes, streams of black gas were constantly dissipating from the Bashe's body, transforming into snake shapes and flying in all directions, drilling into the bodies of nearby creatures in the mountains, or into the bodies of villagers in distant villages, merging with the creatures of the material world.
The place where the Bashe fell was a village. The entire village was shattered, and countless people died.
The Bashe's remnant soul was constantly wandering within its body, emitting anxious roars, constantly trying to prevent the loss of its body's aura, but it was powerless.
Those creatures who obtained the Bashe's essence, energy, and spirit can be considered to have gained the aura. They will inevitably awaken extraordinary powers in the future." Zhang Chen sighed and ran straight towards the Bashe's huge body.
The Bashe's body was shrouded in a mysterious force field that stretched for about a mile, and all creatures entering it would have their minds confused by the force field.
Fortunately, the cooldown period for Zhang Chen's Soul Hooking Art had long passed. At this time, he directly used his divine ability to hook out the Bashe's remnant soul, saving Zhang Chen from being attacked by the Bashe's body's force field.
"Hiss, hiss, hiss ~"
The Bashe's remnant soul constantly circled around Zhang Chen, staring at Zhang Chen angrily, emitting a cold roar.
However, Zhang Chen ignored the Bashe's remnant soul and came directly to the Bashe's body. Looking at the Bashe's body, which was like a mountain range, Zhang Chen summoned the mouthparts of the Innate Mosquito without saying a word and pierced them into the Bashe's body.
The Bashe's remnant soul looked at Zhang Chen with a face full of anger, but it was helpless. Besides impotent rage, it was powerless to stop him.
At this time, Zhang Chen had advanced to the third level of Qi training, and the speed of devouring essence, energy, and spirit was extraordinary, eight million points in a day and a night.
The Bashe's essence, energy, and spirit were abundant. For Zhang Chen, he only needed to concentrate on devouring, and he didn't need to wait like when devouring the power of incense.
The Bashe looked at Zhang Chen with a face full of anger. Zhang Chen sat on the Bashe's body and simply didn't sleep, but only devoured frantically.
A day passed, and Zhang Chen collected eight million points.
Zhang Chen didn't upgrade his skills, but focused on absorbing points, lest he delay his time by upgrading his skills.
On the other side, the Bashe's remnant soul constantly roared in the air, the origin of its essence, energy, and spirit in its soul was flowing away, constantly flowing into the heaven and earth. Seeing that it couldn't do anything to Zhang Chen, the Bashe's remnant soul turned into a stream of light and entered its body, beginning to swallow the origin of the essence, energy, and spirit in its own body, storing the power of the origin of essence, energy, and spirit.
"Good fellow, it's actually become ruthless and is swallowing itself." Zhang Chen looked at the Bashe's remnant soul's actions, a hint of surprise in his eyes.
At this time, the Bashe's remnant soul glanced at Zhang Chen, but ignored him and continued to devour the essence, energy, and spirit in its own body.
The Bashe's remnant soul's devouring speed was much faster than Zhang Chen's.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, three days had passed. At this time, the Bashe's surrounding illusionary force field dissipated under the suppression of the laws of the material world. Seeing that the deadline for Soul Hooking and Soul Seizing was approaching, Zhang Chen didn't dodge or retreat, but continued to stand in front of the Bashe's body and devour its essence, energy, and spirit.
As for why Zhang Chen didn't run away?
Zhang Chen decided to upgrade the Soul Hooking and Soul Seizing skill to see if he could delay time.
The next moment, Zhang Chen's eyes swept across the skill panel:
[5 Skills (Second Order): Soul Hooking Chain (0/10000000)]
[Skill Interpretation: As long as the soul is marked by your skill, on the day its life limit arrives, regardless of the other party's cultivation level, regardless of the distance in time and space, you can hook the other party's soul over.]
[Note 1: Can hook the souls of all people whose life limit has arrived.]
[Note 2: Can hook all souls who use secret techniques to forcibly reside in the world and avoid the number of days (those who prolong their lives with spiritual medicine are not included)]
[Note 3: Please do not easily use this divine power. You mark the other party, and the other party is also marking you. In case the other party kills you before their life arrives, alas!]
[Note 4: You may not have the ability to kill the other party after hooking their soul. Of course, the other party is locked by the chain and cannot do anything to you. After three days, the skill expires, and the other party is sent back to their body by the law. You can launch a Soul Hooking skill on the same soul once every seven days.]
[Note 5: As long as it is marked by you, even if the other party renews their life, you can forcibly hook out the other party's soul.]
[Points: 250000000]
These 25 million points are not only what Zhang Chen absorbed in three days, but also the remaining points from previous upgrades, calculated in total.
