CHAPTER 1442: CHAPTER 1413: UNVEILING BRILLIANCE

The flame was propelled by Li Chen using True Yuan, with an extremely terrifying temperature.

As for Guang Liancheng, who originally possessed an ice attribute, being enveloped by the high temperature made him extremely uncomfortable.

However, he understood that trying to break through this fire circle with the ice attribute was unrealistic. Gritting his teeth, True Yuan surged, with the full burst of Envy Heaven realm’s True Yuan. This time, instead of using the ice attribute, he used pure True Yuan to create shockwaves.

"Crack!"

The fire circle exploded.

However, Li Chen’s figure appeared once again in front of Guang Liancheng.

Taking advantage of Guang Liancheng before he could muster new strength, Li Chen’s fist, like a heavy hammer, landed on Guang Liancheng’s chest.

In the next moment, Guang Liancheng spewed fresh blood and was sent flying, landing several dozen meters away on the ground where the Spirit Grass had been uprooted.

Li Chen sneered, choosing not to take further action, fearing the people here would gang up on him.

Though coughing blood, Guang Liancheng still managed to stand up with difficulty, cupping his hands towards Li Chen, admitting his defeat.

This punch was no ordinary punch; it was the ’Stacking Fist’ Li Chen had previously researched and summarized.

After reaching the Heavenly Level, those ancient martial arts had not lost their brilliance; rather, in Li Chen’s execution, they appeared even more dazzling.

Because, although these ancient combat skills were merely techniques, they were honed through extensive practice. Even if the strong could engage in long-range battles using True Yuan and laws, once in close combat, these ancient martial arts would exert terrifying effects.

Like just now, Li Chen’s strike with the shockwave-infused ’Stacking Fist’ nearly shattered Guang Liancheng’s internal organs. Even now, his Qi-Blood surged turbulently. He dared not engage Li Chen again, fearing another such punch would directly rupture his internal organs.

"Since no one wants to see my cultivation technique again, I shall be on my way." Li Chen glanced around briefly, then directly took out the Flying Spirit Artifact, leaping onto it, swiftly leaving the area.

Although these individuals were all Loose Cultivators, they were not good-natured. They’d happily make Li Chen do all the work, but when they saw something good, they each had their own designs.

Moreover, while harvesting Spirit Grass, no one showed any courtesy to Li Chen. One person even almost made a move against him over two stalks of Spirit Grass.

If he hadn’t gone in beforehand and collected eighty percent of the Spirit Grass, this time he would indeed have the least harvest.

"However, this time, it was a huge profit." Sitting inside the Flying Spirit Artifact, a smile appeared on Li Chen’s face.

He not only obtained a large amount of Spirit Grass suitable for his current training needs, but also acquired a body refining technique he had long wanted.

Even if he gained nothing else in the Enchanted World, this trip was worth it.

After organizing his harvest, Li Chen no longer hesitated and directly went to the top of the Flying Spirit Artifact, activated the Eye of the Dao, and began searching around.

Compared to others who searched step by step, the Eye of the Dao was indeed much more convenient.

Even Divine Sense has many limitations and can be blocked by numerous things. But the Eye of the Dao is different.

Under the Eye of the Dao, all things are illusionary. Although not able to see through everything, under Li Chen’s gaze, all things have traces to follow, as what is seen by the Eye of the Dao are threads and trajectories of the laws.

Li Chen would immediately notice any peculiar threads.

"There’s a discovery!"

After searching for an entire day, Li Chen finally made another discovery.

Under the Eye of the Dao, Li Chen noticed a mass of somewhat twisted lines in a valley.

Without much hesitation, Li Chen directly rushed toward the valley. When he stood outside it, he began to be more cautious, as this place might very well have been left by a Demonic Path strongman and could hold unforeseen dangers.

Yet as soon as he stepped into the valley, Li Chen sensed a rich surge of Spiritual Energy.

This Spiritual Energy was denser than any place he had ever felt, even breathing it made his pores relax, incredibly comfortable.

"Hmm? What a great place!"

Li Chen once again opened the Eye of the Dao and began searching.

The Spiritual Energy here was so dense there surely must be something unusual about it, otherwise such a place wouldn’t form.

Eventually, Li Chen focused on the valley’s ground. The Eye of the Dao, like an invisible sharp blade, delved into the ground.

"This is..." Under Li Chen’s Eye of the Dao, an object resembling a dragon-snake appeared, lurking at the valley’s base.

Li Chen’s heart jumped. He immediately began using the Earth Attribute to control the ground, attempting to extract this dragon-snake-like object.

"Indeed, it’s truly a Spirit Vein!" Li Chen felt a surge of excitement.

Spirit Veins are true treasures for cultivation. Not only beneficial for personal cultivation, but even a Sect could use it as its foundation, embedding it beneath the Sect to continuously generate Spiritual Energy, thus turning the founding place into a treasure land.

"Indeed a low-grade Spirit Vein, this is a massive windfall." Li Chen’s heart was filled with joy.

Even a low-grade Spirit Vein— if auctioned— could sell for at least hundreds of thousands of Spirit Crystals at sky-high prices, and those Spirit Crystals would be of Superior Grade!

The value of a spirit vein was unparalleled to many people.

With the rumbling of the earth, Li Chen began to pull up the spirit vein, and before long, a spirit vein dozens of meters long appeared in Li Chen’s eyes.

"What dense spiritual energy?"

"There must be a treasure!"

At this moment, two people were also quickly approaching from outside the valley. As soon as they stepped into the valley, they saw Li Chen storing away the spirit vein that was dozens of meters long.

Looking at Li Chen, a hint of greed flashed in the eyes of the two.

The two exchanged a glance, rapidly calculating in their hearts, and Li Chen noticed that they seemed to be communicating through sound transmission.

Both of them were Martial Artists of the Envy Heaven Realm, but given Li Chen’s current strength, he was not intimidated, so he remained calm.

"I didn’t expect that Master Lin would have such fortune, to find a spirit vein." One of the martial artists looked at Li Chen and spoke with a sly smile, "However, finders keepers, Master Lin. Hand over the spirit vein, and we are willing to compensate you with one hundred thousand low-grade spirit crystals."

Li Chen sneered internally, not bothering to acknowledge the guy.

This spirit vein was worth at least one hundred thousand superior-grade spirit crystals, and this guy thought he could settle it with just one hundred thousand low-grade spirit crystals? Wasn’t this as good as giving alms?

One hundred thousand low-grade spirit crystals amounted to just ten superior-grade spirit crystals.

"It seems that Master Lin is not inclined to cooperate, which is troublesome." At this moment, the other person shook his head and said.

"Master Lin, we originally didn’t want to confront you, but since you refuse to cooperate, then you leave us no choice."

Li Chen was too lazy to waste words with these two. Since they decided to make a move, he had no hesitation, unsheathing the spirit long blade and taking the initiative to attack first.

There weren’t many people around this time, so if he had to act, Li Chen didn’t plan to conceal it any longer. It was much more convenient to silence them.

Li Chen was never the type to play nice. After entering the Heaven Realm, his strength was weak, and he had to keep a low profile due to others coveting him. However, after growing cautiously to this point, encountering such opponents, he no longer needed to hide anything.

Seeing a Mid-Heaven Realm cultivation level Li Chen dare to take the initiative, both of them were stunned, then angrily shouted in unison, "How dare you!"

Li Chen didn’t waste words, directly enveloping them in a Five Elements Feng Xuanxiao.

Amidst the terrifying blade glow storm, the screams of the two echoed.

They were just loose cultivators, having neither profound cultivation techniques nor powerful killer moves, unlike those under a sect who might have some life-saving treasures. It was difficult for them to even fend off the surrounding blade glow.

The next instant, Li Chen stepped into the Feng Xuanxiao storm, looking at the two struggling to fend off the blade glow. His gaze flickered.

A fleeting thin ray so fast that it seemed nearly invisible to the naked eye flashed by.

Li Chen’s body had already reached the other end of Feng Xuanxiao, and the blade in his hand was already unsheathed.

In the storm, a figure fell, a thin line appeared on his neck, with faint electric arcs circling around it.

This was Unsheathed, the wind and thunder attribute’s Unsheathed!

The speed was at its peak, even the Envy Heaven Realm martial artist hadn’t reacted.

At this moment, the remaining Envy Heaven Realm martial artist’s face was filled with horror.

He initially thought that with two Envy Heaven Realm martial artists against Li Chen, they would have him under control, hence their brazen approach. But unexpectedly, Li Chen completely suppressed them with a single move, even killing one of his comrades before he could see clearly.

A chill rose from his feet straight up to his skull.

At this moment, he deeply regretted his decision. Why on earth did he choose to confront this Master Lin?

But who could have thought that this Master Lin, seemingly with only a Mid-Heaven Realm cultivation, could be so terrifying?

He very much wanted to beg for mercy, realizing that although his cultivation seemed higher by a whole rank compared to Master Lin, he was absolutely not his match, not even close.

But before he could speak, a blade glow came slashing towards him once again.

This time, it wasn’t the wind and thunder Unsheathed, but a terrifying blade glow shrouded in black and white fell upon him.

This blade glow was extremely domineering, utterly straightforward, crashing over with a blatant assault.

He barely managed to muster his True Yuan, while trying to fend off the storm and block this terrifying blade glow. However, in the next instant, his True Yuan was completely shattered by this black and white blade glow.

He himself was also crushed into pieces under this domineering blade glow.

Li Chen waved away the Feng Xuanxiao, sheathed the spirit long blade, and casually took the two rings, exhibiting unparalleled proficiency.

He jumped onto the flying spirit artifact and swiftly departed the scene.

After hiding and being cautious for so long, the King of the Netherworld, invincible in the Lower Realm, domineering over the Main World and every minor world, finally revealed a glimpse of his true prowess.
