My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 231 Destruction
The shadowy demon cultivator was no fool.

in contrast,

As a being at the Out-of-Body Realm, and moreover, a demonic cultivator from the Southern Yue Kingdom, a notorious stronghold of demonic cultivators known for its chaos...

His combat experience is exceptionally rich.
After all, they are beings that have fought their way up in a world where the strong prey on the weak!
Therefore, it was only a single exchange of blows.
In light of the specific circumstances of the previous encounter,

He instantly deduced that Shen Changchuan's most lethal technique was the exceptionally powerful sword light spell imbued with the power of the wood element.

and,

He knew that as a cultivator at the ninth level of Qi Refining, his internal magical power had increased further compared to the last time.

However, it is absolutely impossible to cast such a powerful spell too many times.

then,

He casually cast a defensive spell at the Out-of-Body level, his Out-of-Body level mana enveloping his body and transforming it into an indestructible barrier.

Such a defense is so strong that even a cultivator at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining would likely be unable to shake it for even a moment, even if they exhausted all their magical power!
Even if that kid below unleashed the same powerful wood-element sword light attack as before, it would still take at least three or four sword lights to break through!

That's what the shadowy demonic cultivator originally thought.

After all, the mana power of the Out-of-Body Realm, combined with Out-of-Body Level spells,
That's not as simple as 1+1.

then,

After this impenetrable defense was deployed,

He then manipulated his magic seals to safely retrieve the black smoke skull and ghost monster created by the secret technique, which had already absorbed a considerable amount of life force.

then,

Reality dealt him a heavy blow!
Boom! ! !
The deafening sound of the bells echoed between heaven and earth.

The protective shield created by the Out-of-Body level defensive spell on the shadowy demon cultivator shattered the moment the bronze bell struck!
"Damn it! This is a treasure artifact?!"

The shadowy demon cultivator's pupils shrank to the size of pinpoints, his face filled with horror!

This kid is nothing more than a mere Qi Refining Realm ant, how could he possess such a treasure?!
He had no choice but to react this way.

It should be known that this is an extremely precious treasure that surpasses even the highest-grade magic artifacts. Even cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage rarely see it!
And its immense power is commensurate with its rarity!
Even a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage could master it and fight against a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage!
The shadowy demonic cultivator had no idea that Shen Changchuan actually possessed a treasure even more powerful than the spell, the Azure Wood Sword Light!
It's probably something even a normal person wouldn't think of.
After all, just over a month ago, he was in a life-threatening situation and only survived thanks to the help of other Nascent Soul cultivators. Who could have imagined that in just over a month, not only would his strength have improved even further, but he would also have obtained a magic weapon, greatly increasing his power?

The shadowy demon cultivator certainly wouldn't have expected this!
at this time,

He didn't have time to react!
The overwhelming power unleashed by the bronze bell shattered the defensive spells and then bombarded him without reservation!
boom! ! !
Accompanied by a loud, muffled thud,

Almost instantly, the shadowy figure's chest collapsed, and a mouthful of blood gushed from its mouth.

Simultaneously,

Under the terrifying force of the collision, he was sent flying backward like a cannonball!

The remaining power is strong,
The force caused the air to be pierced along its path, creating a violent sonic boom.

Until it crashed heavily onto the ground, causing the ground within a radius of several tens of feet to collapse!
The surrounding cultivators gasped in surprise.

People scrambled to get out of the way in terror, the ground shook violently, and billowing dust rose into the sky!

Many people stared at Shen Changchuan in the arena in shock, their eyes filled with disbelief!
The existence of the Out-of-Body Realm
He was actually knocked down from the sky in one blow?!
But Shen Changchuan clearly had no intention of explaining to them.
"As expected, you're injured!" Shen Changchuan laughed loudly.
Years of suppressed emotions seemed to find a great release at this moment, and he was full of vigor.

When Aoki's sword light blocked the opponent's attack, he sensed that something was wrong with the aura emanating from the opponent.

then,

As he manipulated his hand seals, summoning back the blood-tinged, black-smoke-filled monsters, it seemed he was using some kind of restorative technique.
Shen Changchuan acted decisively.

With one move,

It is the most powerful magical artifact he currently possesses, the bronze bell!
And the result,
It did not disappoint him.

The powerful strike from the treasure weapon not only dispersed the surrounding blood-red smoke and skeleton monsters, cutting off their recovery methods, but also severely injured them!

"Looks like I won my bet!"

The voice has not fallen,

Shen Changchuan's figure flashed.
As if teleported, he appeared on the bronze bell in the next moment.

Then he rode the bronze bell,
He once again plummeted like a meteor towards the center of the smoke-shrouded crater, disappearing into it.

next moment,
Boom! ! !

In the center of the crater, unseen by outsiders, another terrifying impact erupted.

in an instant,
A torrent, as tangible as a physical force, swept in all directions.

The smoke and dust that had covered half the sky were completely dispersed in that instant!

Accompanied by a terrifying energy storm that swept and raged,

The cultivators around them gasped in alarm and had to cover their eyes with their sleeves to prevent the storm, which carried countless grains of sand and dust, from entering their vision. At the same time, they retreated to a greater distance to avoid being affected by the storm again.

At this time,
Such a commotion,
This also attracted the attention of cultivators further away.

The eyes of the hundreds of cultivators trapped in Dawan Village were all focused on this scene at this moment.

Even the rogue cultivators who were originally searching for a way to escape,
They all stopped what they were doing and stared in shock at the great battle unfolding before them!
As the smoke and dust that filled the sky were swept away by the shockwave,
The scene before them reappeared before their eyes.

I see,

In the center of the huge crater that had already collapsed, another deep pit collapsed.
Moreover, a deep ravine split the earth in a straight line, stretching for more than thirty feet.
At the end of the ravine,
The shadowy demonic cultivator's arm hung limply at a twisted angle, and his chest was mostly caved in, with blood flowing out. He looked extremely gruesome!

"Cough cough!"

The shadowy demonic cultivator's hunched back was deeply embedded in the soil behind him. He coughed several times, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. His breath was extremely weak at this moment.
At the same time,

the other side,
Shen Changchuan's face was as pale as paper, and he was panting heavily.

The bronze bell, a precious artifact, is indeed very powerful.

However, its power comes at a tremendous cost.

Two all-out pushes,
It actually consumed about two-thirds of his magical power!
But fortunately,
He made the right bet!
