Chapter 239: Inside Whispering Pine Woods
[OUHHH!!!]
[GHAA!!!]
Chen Tian wielded his sword in the wind, and the sword aura spread all over his body, cutting through the silence of the night.
In the wilderness in front of him, densely packed undead souls surged like a tide, and the putrid smell filled his nose, making him feel sick.
These undead were dressed in tattered armor, with green will-o'-the-wisps burning in their empty eye sockets, and they roared towards the dusty sky. Find your adventure at m-vl-em,py-r
"Humph," Chen Tian snorted coldly. The sword in his hand buzzed, and a golden light rose into the sky, tearing the night apart.
He was like a giant golden dragon, galloping freely among the undead. Wherever the sword passed, the undead were turned into ashes and wailed endlessly. However, the number of undead was so huge that even if Chen Tian was strong, it would inevitably be a bit difficult.
With a flick of his wrist, two swords appeared behind his back and turned into a golden rainbow that shuttled among the undead.
Wherever they went, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and the wails suddenly decreased. The undead wailed in pain and gradually turned into ashes.
"This is the most swords I can create using the Second Form of the Eternal Celestial Sword Art," Chen Tian thought to himself, his brows furrowing.
If he were at the Foundation Establishment Realm, Chen Tian would have been able to effortlessly create five swords using the Second Form of the Eternal Celestial Sword Art. However, being at the Meridian Opening Realm limited his abilities.
Nevertheless, Chen Tian kept killing the undead with the few swords he had created.
From the moment he entered this place, the Yin energy had risen to a terrifying level, making it difficult even for Chen Tian to breathe.
But to his astonishment, the Yin Yang diagram inside his Dantian reacted and started absorbing the Yin Qi in the air.
He felt a surge of power as the Yin energy was converted into his own strength.
This unexpected turn of events was surprising. Chen Tian even forgot that he had the Primordial Yin-Yang Cultivation Technique.
At first, dual cultivation was Chen Tian's best option if he wanted to cultivate faster. Still, after getting the Heaven-Devouring Chaos Technique, everything changed since it was more powerful and faster.
Of course, just having better cultivation didn't mean that Chen Tian would stop being a dual cultivator or stop using the technique, since the Primordial Yin-Yang Cultivation Technique was a good technique that could help his woman cultivate alongside him.
|GHAAAAA!!!!!!!|
|PUM!!!!|
At this moment, a sharp roar pierced the night sky, and a giant skeleton with green will-o'-the-wisps all over its body walked out of the undead, holding a long bone knife in its hand and staring viciously at Chen Tian. Chen Tian narrowed his eyes and recognized this skeleton as the leader of this group of zombies, whose strength far exceeded that of ordinary undead.
He took a deep breath, the spiritual Qi in his body surged, the golden light glowed around him, and he fought with the giant skeleton.
The sword aura collided with the bone knife, making a deafening sound, and the golden light intertwined with the will-o'-the-wisp, illuminating the night with colorful colors.
The giant skeleton was at the 10th stage of the Meridian Opening Realm; it was a good decision for Chen Tian to advance his cultivation before going into this area.
The two exchanged blows with deadly moves, each blow containing huge power. The low-level undead were blown away, their bodies disintegrating into dust.
Chen Tian's skills were unmatched, as he effortlessly gained the upper hand with his superb swordsmanship and powerful Qi.
He seized an opportunity, and the sword turned into a golden lightning and pierced the skeleton's chest.
|KHAAAA!!!|
The skeleton let out a shrill scream, and his body collapsed and turned into a pile of broken bones. With the death of the giant skeleton, it was easier for Chen Tian to deal with the other undead.
"After reaching the 9th Stage of the Meridian Opening Realm, defeating a Peak Meridian Opening Realm is a piece of cake for me; I also wouldn't lose against a 1st Stage Foundation Realm cultivator," Chen Tian thought to himself with excitement.
His cultivation would have advanced by leaps if he could absorb the residual energy of the slain undead.
Sadly, it didn't work. When he tried to use the Heaven-Devouring Chaos Technique on the undead, he found that the technique didn't work.
It looked as though the Heaven-Devouring Chaos Technique only worked on the living and not on the undead. Disappointment spread over Chen Tian.
"Huh, what a waste of experience," Chen Tian muttered, frustrated with the missed opportunity.
...
"Is this kid for real?!"
As Chen Tian dealt with the undead, a mysterious woman stood in the shadows, silently observing his every move. Her piercing gaze never left him.
The mysterious woman had been observing Chen Tian for these couple of months.
She basically saw how he cultivated from the 7th stage of the Meridian Opening Realm to the 9th stage.
Which made the woman even more shocked.
She couldn't believe the rapid progress Chen Tian had made in such a short amount of time.
Of course, such progress wasn't that big of a deal, but it was impressive considering this was the mortal realm.
As she continued to watch him, her curiosity grew, and she wondered what made him different from others.
Then she remembered what happened when she tried to peek inside his Dantian.
"Umm!! No, I shouldn't remember that… thing."
Her body shivered as she recalled the excruciating pain that coursed through her when she attempted to penetrate Chen Tian's Dantian. It was as if an invisible force had repelled her, leaving her with a lingering sense of fear and unease.
Little did she know that Chen Tian didn't have too much time to advance from the 7th stage to the 9th stage. Well, it did look like he spent 5 months, but half of this was him being on earth, which only took 2 and a half months to really advance.
If she knew, she would have been stunned.
"From how he is moving, that kid is heading in the direction of my cave. It looks like we will meet much sooner than expected. Well, he still has to get out of that place." She decided to follow Chen Tian's trail and see if he could survive in that place.
After killing the undead that were blocking his path, Chen Tian kept walking deeper into the wood.
"Hm?"
Chen Tian suddenly felt a buzzing sound in his head. He paused and looked around, trying to locate the source of the noise, but he couldn't find anything. Confused, he continued on his path, but the buzzing grew louder and more persistent. It became clear that it was not just a random sound.
"The fuck!" Chen Tian muttered under his breath, frustration evident in his voice. The buzzing sound grew even louder, almost deafening, causing him to wince in discomfort. He couldn't ignore it any longer and decided to use his Qi to block his ears.
But to his shock, his Qi seemed to have no effect on the buzzing sound. It continued to reverberate in his head, growing even more intense.
"Nice attempt, kid, but that wouldn't work; they didn't call this place Whispering Pine Woods for nothing." The mysterious woman said with a sly smirk.
Even with Chen Tian's senses, he wouldn't be able to find her.
