Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Home!

At this moment, a thought that lay deep within Wang Chen's heart quietly surfaced.

It was a desire he had cherished day and night when he first crossed over into this world, which was to return to his own world.

But as time passed, this utterly impossible dream gradually faded from Wang Chen's mind.

He was growing more and more accustomed to the new world.

However, right now, Wang Chen realized that the thought of going home had never truly vanished!

He smiled wryly and shook his head.

Yin Sulan, who had been by Wang Chen's side, keenly sensed something was off and turned to ask, "What's wrong?"

Wang Chen came back to his senses and hastily replied, "It's nothing."

The next moment, his eyes narrowed, "Be careful!"

Before Wang Chen's words had even finished, a dark shadow burst out from the bushes ahead and pounced toward Yin Sulan with the speed of lightning.

It was a lithe black panther!

Certainly, this Monster Beast possessed an incredibly potent stealth ability, managing to elude the detection of both Wang Chen and Yin Sulan.

But it had revealed itself with its movement.

Although surprised, Yin Sulan was not thrown into disarray; she promptly snorted coldly and thrust her sword index finger toward the flying panther.

Chi!

A dazzling streak of Sword Qi instantly traversed dozens of steps through the air, unimpededly piercing the Monster Beast's skull, leaving a large, clear hole all the way through the hardest part of its head.

The black panther immediately fell from the sky, slid a distance, and stopped in front of Yin Sulan.

It was dead.

"A thing oblivious to its impending death!"

Yin Sulan scoffed, "Even a mere Spirit Monster dares to launch a sneak attack."

In fact, a Spirit Monster was equivalent to Purple Mansion, and possessed considerable intelligence, but in her eyes, it was scarcely different from an ordinary wild beast.

This was the formidable confidence of a Sword Cultivator!

"Roar~"

However, the roars of Monster Beasts from all directions that followed immediately darkened Yin Sulan's expression.

She and Wang Chen seemed to have stepped into a Beast Nest!

The Monster Beasts appeared without any warning at all; it was as if Yin Sulan's recent killing had alerted the hidden hordes in the forest. They approached from different directions, converging on Wang Chen and Yin Sulan.

These Monster Beasts did not immediately attack but instead kept gathering and circling nearby, roaring and growling as a show and warning of their power.

This increased the psychological pressure immensely.

Such a scene was exceedingly terrifying. If faced by cultivators with weak willpower, it could indeed cause instant collapse.

But both Wang Chen and Yin Sulan were cultivators of exceptional determination.

The intimidation tactics of the Monster Beasts had no effect on them.

"Thunder Come!"

Wang Chen was the first to act. His Divine Sense had detected a group of Monster Beasts that had just entered his Spell's attack range, so without a second thought, he used Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

As his words commanded, thunderbolts laden with destructive energy fell from above the forest, densely covering a vast stretch of the undergrowth and striking the lurking Monster Beasts into frantic jumps.

They really did start jumping!

These Monster Beasts were led by three Spirit Monsters; the rest were all robust Monster Transformation beasts, with the bodies of leopards, heads of wolves, tails of tigers, imposing figures, and sharp claws and teeth, covered in thick fur.

But under the bombardment of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, even the Spirit Monsters couldn't withstand the pain and howled chaotically. The common Monster Beasts were struck with such force that they leaped up and then crashed down, either dying on the spot or convulsing on the ground a few times before expiring.

Some were even charred to a crisp!

Their ambush and siege had become a complete farce.

Well done!

Yin Sulan, who had just summoned her flying sword, gave Wang Chen a look of approval.

She truly hadn't chosen the wrong person.

Wang Chen's Nine Heavens Divine Thunder technique, both in terms of accuracy and power, had surpassed many senior disciples who practiced this path.

The clearing effect was top-notch!

However, Yin Sulan still underestimated Wang Chen's capabilities.

After a round of area-targeting Falling Thunder was complete, Wang Chen's mana continued to extend forward, with thunderstorms following one after another, sweeping through a large swath of the dense forest.

Dazzling bolts of lightning flashed ceaselessly, the aura of destruction rippling through the mountains and forest. One after another, hidden Monster Beasts revealed themselves, only to be promptly engulfed by the thunderstorms.

Wang Chen, with his hands forming spell gestures, had eye sockets flashing with purple electricity in the originally pitch-black eyes, and the robes he wore fluttered and rustled without any wind.

One after another, ferocious Monster Beasts fell under his spell!

Yin Sulan was first stunned, then took a deep breath, her eyes becoming extremely sharp.

As the youngest disciple of Long River True Person, Wang Chen showed such explosive battle intent; as his senior sister and a sword cultivator, how could she stand by idly and reap the benefits!

The next moment, myriads of sword lights joined the thunderous fray.

The flying sword manipulated by Yin Sulan moved extremely fast, like a streak of light shuttling back and forth through the forest.

Because the sword was so fast, it left behind a series of bizarre afterimages in the observer's eye, and in just a moment, it had woven a dense web of swords!

Monster Beasts touched by the sword light, whether Monster Transformation or Spirit Monster, were unable to resist.

Their thick hides were easily sliced open; sinew and flesh parted, limbs flew, and heads fell to the ground, as a series of miserable shrieks rose and fell, like a symphony from hell.

The thick scent of blood couldn't suppress the cold killing intent, the ruthlessness of the sword cultivator was on full display in this moment!

Yin Sulan was extremely beautiful but equally merciless in action, a rarity among female cultivators.

Wang Chen too had now witnessed the most authentic side of his senior sister.

Initially, the two fought independently, but as time went on, their coordination subtly improved.

Wang Chen used the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder to clear out the lower-tier Monster Beasts, providing covering fire for opponents of the Spirit Monster tier.

Yin Sulan drove her flying sword to reap the fruits of victory.

This not only saved both sides' mana but also greatly increased the efficiency of combat.

Monster Beasts rushed towards them in groups, one wave after another falling like wheat swept by a scythe.

A vast number of lives were reaped; the crimson blood soaked the leaf-strewn soil, and the brutal deaths brought clarity to those Monster Beasts who had lost their senses.

They issued mournful, indignant cries, scrambling to flee in all directions and soon disappearing into the vast forest.

Wang Chen and Yin Sulan did not pursue.

The two were not there to slay demons and eliminate fiends; if it were not for those Monster Beasts seeking their own demise, they couldn't be bothered to pay them any mind.

Of course, it was not worth wasting time in pursuit.

"Help!"

But just as Wang Chen and Yin Sulan were preparing to continue their search, a panicked cry suddenly came from not far away.

A cultivator was seen hurrying out of the forest, his face full of terror, speeding toward their location!

But what greeted him wasn't rescue or help, but a bright flash of sword light!

The cultivator calling for help was immediately startle, abruptly stopping his motion and slapping talismans onto his body.

But he was just a bit too slow.

In the instant the talismans were about to be activated, Yin Sulan's flying sword had already sliced through his body protection magical armor!
