I only seek to enjoy the present moment, regardless of dying in a foreign land tomorrow. With a blade in hand, I'll slay demons and men alike. "Ladies and gentlemen, please be on your way!&...
678 Stepping on the sun, moon, and stars
As they ventured deeper, the surrounding scenery became increasingly primitive and mysterious.
Towering ancient trees blocked out the sun, and the roars of wild beasts echoed through the forest, filling the air with an ancient and primal atmosphere.
As we traversed the dense forest, we felt our speed slowing down, and the air around us became increasingly resistant to movement.
The spiritual energy was incredibly dense, almost liquefied, forming patches of spiritual mist.
There are also many rare and precious medicinal herbs, such as Crimson Gold Ginseng, Spirit Gathering Grass, Blood Clotting Grass, and Three-Leaf Green Ganoderma.
I also saw a spring, but it was only the size of a teapot. It was formed on a tree and had a fishy, pungent smell around it that lingered for a long time.
He Chen watched quietly from a distance for a moment, only to see the ten-foot-long flying beast, unable to resist the temptation, quickly fly over, ready to steal the drink.
Suddenly, the spiritual spring contracted rapidly, as if drawn by a mysterious force, and quickly burrowed into the trunk of an ancient tree.
Immediately afterwards, the trunk of the tree suddenly split open, and a huge mouth opened from it, revealing ferocious fangs, and swallowed the bird whole.
Emerging from the tree trunk was a ferocious python with a head, two legs, and four sharp claws.
Its body was tens of feet long, its scales shimmered with a cold light, and its pair of scarlet eyes stared intently at its surroundings, as if it wanted to devour everything.
But then, the giant python suddenly opened its massive jaws and let out a deafening roar. The sound was as powerful as thunder, as if...
After roaring, the python suddenly turned and swam into the deep mountains at an astonishing speed.
He Chen paused slightly, but ultimately did not follow to take a look.
With a wide-open mouth, the chaotic spiritual energy was instantly swallowed like a whale, and the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be summoned, surging into his mouth.
It goes directly into the stomach and is quickly digested there; no matter how complex the food is, it is completely consumed by the stomach.
He Chen's body seemed to have become a bottomless pit, which could not be filled no matter how much spiritual energy was available.
The rich spiritual energy made every cell in my body feel incredibly excited.
He Chen opened his mouth and inhaled the rich spiritual energy. Unlike in a spiritual land, He Chen's absorption was a deal where he was losing half of his killing points.
Of course, one cannot directly absorb spiritual energy for cultivation in one's own spiritual land, which would be a great loss.
Only by planting medicinal herbs and medicinal rice can one reap huge rewards.
As for why the women could cultivate and absorb without diminishing their energy, He Chen had a slight guess, like spiritual rice or spiritual wheat, but he couldn't be sure and didn't need to delve into it further.
At this moment, as I absorb everything freely, every cell in my body seems to be awakened, cheering and rejoicing, my heart bursting with joy.
He Chen could clearly feel that his cells were rapidly becoming more hydrated, absorbing nutrients freely and unrestrainedly.
What a wonderful feeling! He Chen felt as if he were in a magical world, with every cell in his body resonating with him and celebrating this moment together.
Instantly, the surrounding spiritual energy surged like a hurricane, or a giant tornado, and He Chen was the eye of the tornado, absorbing all the spiritual energy.
It grew larger and larger, covering a radius of thousands of miles, and spiritual energy was forcibly plundered from it. The spiritual energy in the vortex was so dense that it was almost turning into a fine rain.
At this moment, He Chen's aura was constantly rising, grand and majestic, as if it were about to tear apart the void, like Pangu creating the world.
His chest seemed to conceal an endless abyss, constantly devouring the surrounding spiritual energy.
As spiritual energy surged in, He Chen's aura grew stronger and stronger, like a majestic mountain, his body like a giant sword that could cleave the heavens and earth, causing a magnitude 10 earthquake that terrified all living beings.
Beneath the skin, it seemed as if endless energy was hidden, and every muscle was writhing wildly, like crystalline golden dragons swimming within the body.
The bones and muscles crackled and popped, like diamonds cutting through jade and gold.
Within the Ten Thousand Mountains, all the beasts trembled in fear, not daring to show their heads, and a few even glared angrily.
However, as He Chen relaxed his mind and body, an even more powerful aura was immediately revealed.
It was as if a vast galaxy had been poured out, surging endlessly.
Within He Chen's body, it was as if an endless universe was spinning and expanding, with every cell shining like a star, shimmering with endless brilliance.
An aura of an ancient behemoth, as if emanating from the depths of time, slowly emerged, devouring heaven and earth, plucking stars and seizing the moon.
Its aura was as vast as a raging storm, sweeping across the entire heart of the Ten Thousand Mountains, as if it would shake the entire mountain range to its core.
Its aura was so intense, like the primordial chaos at the beginning of time, filled with boundless, world-destroying power.
The air around He Chen was filled with howling winds, like a surging river, its musculature trembling and producing earth-shattering sounds, like the roar of dragons and the howl of tigers.
Golden light blazed around him, lightning descended from the sky, flashing incessantly, and fire appeared in the void, turning the air scorching red as if it were about to explode, transforming into a blazing sun, intense and dazzling.
At this moment, it felt as if I were standing on the sun, moon, and stars, as if I were the master of this world.
The giant beasts, who were just furious, suddenly looked terrified when they faced He Chen's aura.
Their previously fierce and ferocious faces changed color instantly.
A colossal beast, as large as a mountain, with its fur standing on end, now resembled a frightened hedgehog, trembling and retreating step by step.
His eyes were filled with fear, as if he had seen some indescribable horror. Even his once arrogant and unruly roar became as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
Another giant beast, shaped like a tiger with claws as sharp as knives, was now like a mouse seeing a cat, its tail tucked tightly between its legs, using all four limbs to flee in a panic.
A soaring dragon, a majestic creature dozens of meters tall, was now teetering on the ground like a kite with a broken string, its wings flapping wildly as it tried to regain its footing.
These giant beasts, which used to roam freely in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, were now like tiny insects whose life force had been seized, utterly powerless in the face of He Chen's aura.
At this moment, He Chen was like a supreme being who controlled heaven and earth. He stood there, and it seemed that an invisible vortex was spinning wildly around him.
This vortex not only absorbed the spiritual energy within a thousand miles around him, but also swept it all in, regardless of whether the spiritual energy was mixed or had different attributes.
The absorbed spiritual energy, regardless of its properties, surged into He Chen's body like a torrent.
His stomach, as hard as a diamond, was now like a piece of extraterrestrial iron, incredibly hard. Any energy that entered it would be mercilessly crushed and refined.
The spiritual energy, as powerful as gold, silver, copper, and iron, churned in He Chen's stomach, producing a deafening roar.
