Chapter 2361 - 2329: Departure

Chapter 2361: Chapter 2329: Departure

In the boundless depths of the endless mountain ranges, Ferocious Beasts roared, Demon Beasts howled.

This was one of the most dangerous places on the entire Wildland Continent for the Human Race, bearing the title of the "City of Fierce Demons."

No matter how strong one was, they wouldn’t dare go too deep inside.

Because even if your Cultivation shook the heavens, within this City of Fierce Demons there were near countless Ferocious Beasts and Demon Beasts. As long as you couldn’t level this place in one breath, you would be ground to death here by its endless Ferocious Demons.

Throughout countless years on the Wildland Continent, only when the Black and White Empire was first established, in its Peak era, did the Black and White Empire ever conquer this place.

Moreover, it was said that back then, it was that invincible couple who founded the Black and White Empire that joined hands to enter the Land of Fierce Demons, forcing the Ferocious Demons here to completely lie dormant, not daring to invade the surrounding Human Race territories again.

After that powerful couple who founded the Black and White Empire left the Wildland Continent, the Land of Fierce Demons once more returned to its former savagery.

The Ferocious Demons here were arrogant and untamed, powerful and cruel, brimming with wildness. No one could tame them. Other than that couple back then, the Ferocious Demons of the City of Fierce Demons had practically only one attitude toward any enemy they encountered, and that was... fight to the death!

"Hey... you big monkey, go pick me two fruits, I’m a bit thirsty."

A white-haired youth sat by a Xiaoxi, his bare feet soaking in the crystal-clear water. He waved toward a Giant Ape Ferocious Beast nearly two stories tall in the distance and spoke.

Hearing this, the Giant Ape immediately squeezed out an ugly grin and scampered back into the depths of the forest. In no time, its thick arms were cradling a huge pile of wild fruits rich in Spiritual Energy as it came to the youth’s side, carefully setting them down.

"Not bad." The white-haired youth smiled. Because the difference in their height was simply too great, he could only reach out and pat the Giant Ape’s lower leg.

The Giant Ape’s face showed a look of enjoyment; it gave the youth a silly grin, then lumbered off to one side and squatted down.

"Little Huabao, go catch two wild animals for me, just right to fill my stomach." Picking up a wild fruit, the youth seemed to think of something, speaking to a Huabao Demon Beast behind him whose whole body was covered in mottled patterns, three zhang long, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Roar!" The Huabao Demon Beast let out a reply and immediately slipped into the forest.

Very soon, a fire was crackling by the Xiaoxi, and without the youth lifting a finger, some clever Ferocious Demons had already taken it upon themselves to bring armfuls of dry branches.

"Not bad."

Eating the roast meat, a rare smile appeared on Li Chen’s face.

Feeling the food enter his belly, this kind of sensation was something he hadn’t felt for a very, very long time.

After a while, a Red-robed Youth walked over from afar.

All the Ferocious Demons, upon seeing the Red-robed Youth, instantly shrank like mice seeing a cat, their bodies hunching; a few even trembled slightly as they consciously made way for him.

"Master."

Arriving before the huge roasting rack, Red Moon sat down cross-legged.

"How’s your recovery?" Li Chen asked.

"I’ve recovered to about eighty or ninety percent. But even if there’s still a sliver left, it doesn’t really affect much anymore," Red Moon said.

"Mm." Li Chen nodded. "So in that case, it’s about time for us to set off?"

"If Master’s body has no problems either, then we indeed can depart," Red Moon said. "The Laws here are far too crude, and the Spiritual Energy is so lacking it’s outrageous. There’s absolutely no Spiritual Objects that could allow you to rapidly restore your Cultivation, Master."

"Indeed." Li Chen spoke softly. "Although I’ve temporarily suppressed the Black Qi, surging Life Energy doesn’t mean it can be suppressed forever. Only once my Cultivation rises again will I be able to force that thing completely into a corner."

After devouring the Blood Diamond, Li Chen’s Life Energy had instantly swelled to an extremely terrifying level.

Even with both his Cultivation and Physical Refinement Cultivation gone, in his current state, it would still be very difficult for an ordinary powerhouse to kill him.

Although he no longer had the Defense of the Indestructible Body, Li Chen now, relying on just this Physical Body, still possessed an incomparably terrifying Physical Strength, and a powerful healing power that made him almost impossible to kill. Moreover, even if one only calculated from the perspective of lifespan, Li Chen might never have to worry about dying of old age.

This was the terrifying aspect of having colossal Life Energy.

That head of white hair wasn’t because Li Chen couldn’t restore it to black, but because he simply couldn’t be bothered.

But even as white hair, every strand was full, supple like silk, no longer the dry, ashen white it had been before.

"Master, have you condensed your first wisp of True Qi yet?" Looking at Li Chen, Red Moon still couldn’t help but ask.

After all, if Li Chen wanted to restore his Cultivation anew, this first wisp of Energy was of critical importance.

Li Chen didn’t speak; instead, he lightly hooked his finger toward the fire.

A burning dry branch seemed to be drawn by some Power and fell into Li Chen’s hand.

"Hm?"

Red Moon’s gaze sharpened.

This was a very simple manipulation of Energy, yet in Li Chen’s motion just now, he hadn’t sensed even the slightest fluctuation of any aura.

Noticing Red Moon’s gaze, Li Chen gave a bitter smile. "I don’t know why either. The new Power I’ve cultivated isn’t True Qi, and it isn’t Yuan Force, but rather this kind of invisible Energy."

True Qi and such Energies couldn’t be seen by ordinary people, but to a cultivator, they were as clear as fireworks shooting into the night sky.

Yet the Energy Li Chen had just used, even he himself hadn’t seen it. That was what made Red Moon feel astonished.

"It should... be related to that Black Qi." At this moment, the Seven Realms Tome spoke up as well.

"Back then, when the Black Qi controlled his body, it subconsciously altered his bodily structure, making it more suited to bear the Energy of the Black Qi. It’s likely this transformation that caused the Energy he cultivates to become like this."

Li Chen nodded; he also felt this was the most likely possibility.

Seeing the worry on Red Moon’s face, Li Chen smiled and couldn’t help but comfort him. "It’s actually fine. If it’s invisible, then it’s invisible; as long as I can throw a punch, that’s what matters. Besides, isn’t this kind of invisible Energy even better suited for catching people off guard?"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Red Moon softly let out a breath and also nodded.

"Alright." Li Chen slowly stood up and patted the long robe on his body.

At this moment, most parts of Li Chen’s long robe had already turned White, though there were still some Black cloud patterns upon it, like decorative motifs.

And along the edges of these Black patterns, Gold trim was inlaid, making this long robe appear extraordinarily gorgeous.

It wasn’t that Li Chen couldn’t change clothes, but that these patterns were entirely formed of Energy; no matter what he wore, these patterns would appear all the same, so he might as well just wear a White Robe outright.

"Master, let’s be on our way." Red Moon stood up as well.

At this time, many Ferocious Beasts and Demon Beasts around them all revealed looks of reluctance.

These past days, Red Moon had beaten them into submission, and Li Chen had given them pointers, allowing their strength to advance quite a bit. Seeing that they were about to leave, they couldn’t help feeling reluctant.

"Alright, all feasts under heaven must come to an end. If fate allows... we’ll meet again." Li Chen waved his hand toward the many Ferocious Demons.

Then, carried by Red Moon, he tore through space and vanished from the City of Fierce Demons.

Not long after the two left, the Poem Shadow Dao Saint, dressed in an emerald long robe, appeared here.

Feeling the traces of aura that had only just dissipated in the surroundings, Poem Shadow Dao Saint furrowed her brows. "I’m late."
