Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

[Human Virtue +58], [Human Virtue +62], [Human Virtue +59]...

Inside the White Bone Cavern, Wang Chen stood at the spot where he had earlier jumped down, unmoving, as lightning bolts rumbled around him, mercilessly slaughtering one Evil Wraith after another.

The continuous pop-up messages in his field of vision showed that the Evil Wraiths flooding into the cavern were becoming increasingly strong, contributing to his growing Human Virtue.

Still, none of the Evil Wraiths bursting out from the stone wall passages could withstand a single strike of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

Regardless of how madly they flung themselves or how fearlessly they fought, none could come within ten steps of Wang Chen!

Under the devastating blasts of thunder and lightning, the mountains of white bones turned into powder and debris.

Yet even while maintaining such powerful, continuous output, Wang Chen showed no signs of fatigue.

The Spiritual Power stored within the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net was pouring into his body in copious amounts, instantly transforming into Mana.

A stick of incense later, not a trace of Evil Power remained in the originally bleak White Bone Cavern, cleansed completely by the might of the thunder, with even the surrounding rock walls emanating faint glimmers of electricity.

This was a sign that the rocks had absorbed the Thunder Power!

The Evil Wraiths rushing into the cavern started to emit grey smoke even before the Divine Thunder struck them.

They contorted into strange postures, like a man struck by high voltage electricity, beyond salvation even by the waters of the Ganges.

[Human Virtue +72], [Human Virtue +82], [Human Virtue +79]...

When the Spiritual Power accumulated in the Demon-Slaying Net had been depleted by over half, the number of Evil Wraiths charging into the cavern suddenly decreased, but their quality was noticeably superior.

The newly appeared Evil Wraiths resembled apes; they used their long arms to grasp and leap out from the entrance of the cave, throwing themselves through the air towards Wang Chen.

A pair of crimson eyes filled with brutality and malice.

But these Evil Wraiths were still unable to break through the interception of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder.

Battle is the unrivaled Dharma Technique for enhancing spellcasting experience.

Even though Wang Chen had already advanced his Nine Heavens Divine Thunder to Great Perfection level, what was improved was merely the skill level, while the actual application techniques and savvy couldn't be directly elevated through the Immortal Cultivation panel.

The previous battles in Yin Wind Cave, and the current sweeping of White Bone Cavern, the repeated full-force casting of Divine Thunder, undoubtedly caused Wang Chen's battle experience to soar rapidly.

With the insight of the Great Perfection level, his mastery over this Thunder Magic became increasingly profound.

As his spellcasting skill improved, his lethality became stronger and more widespread, with his consumption of Mana paradoxically diminished.

Through such accumulation, or rather, the squeezing out of his own potential, Wang Chen suddenly gained a new understanding of this spell.

Suddenly, he raised his arms, extending all ten fingers, tips sparkling with jumping electric arcs.

Sizzle, sizzle!

The next moment, a bizarre humming noise emerged abruptly, as strands of deep-blue lightning snakes shot out from Wang Chen's fingertips.

They aimed with deadly precision into the ten caves on both sides!

"Eeya!"

One after another, shrill screams echoed from afar, soon snuffed out by the rumbling blasts.

The cavern shook violently, countless bits of mud and dust raining down.

Wang Chen slowly turned around, his outstretched fingers continuously releasing lightning, the dazzling beams lashing against the hard rock walls, pouring into other passageways.

Some Evil Wraiths that had just peeked out were instantly pierced through and reduced to ashes on the spot.

"Kill!"

Wang Chen suddenly shouted out loud, his originally black eyes turning a purplish-blue, his body enshrouded in swirling electric arcs.

The ten lightning snakes he was controlling instantly doubled in thickness, transforming into lightning pythons that crashed into each cave with an unstoppable force, giving rise to an even greater calamity.

In this moment, Wang Chen had pushed his power to its ultimate limit.

He had entered a state akin to overclocking.

The Mana he was consuming couldn't be replenished swiftly enough!

Boom!

The vibrations in the White Bone Cavern grew more intense, and large chunks of rock began to peel off from the walls.

Signs of a collapse were beginning to show!

Wang Chen brought his fingers together, clenching his fists tightly.

He squatted down, his knees bent, and hammered both fists onto the ground simultaneously.

Bang!

Accompanied by a muffled sound, the skeletons under Wang Chen's feet instantly turned to dust. His formidable fist strength, unstoppable as a bamboo splitter, roared into the earth below, tearing through the thick layers of rock.

In the next moment, he suddenly soared into the air, enveloped by sword light that suddenly flashed, rushing into the previously descended passageway.

At this time, below Wang Chen, the entire cavern was as if being kneaded by a pair of invisible and terrifying giant hands, breaking and collapsing in pieces.

Dozens of Evil Wraiths had just rushed out of the passageway when they were immediately covered by falling rocks.

Within a breath's time, Wang Chen had returned to the Yin Wind Cave.

The Yin Wind Cave was also shaking, but not as violently as the White Bone Cavern; only the ground had large areas of collapse.

Wang Chen burst out of the earth's hole, shooting high into the air for more than ten zhang, then immediately dispelling the sword light and plummeting down.

Bang!

Once again, he hammered the ground.

This time, however, Wang Chen changed from fists to palms, with his vigorous qi manifesting into two giant palms that heavily slapped the sunken ground.

He managed to forcefully produce the effect of the Tathagata Palm with his Heavenly Dragon Vajra Palm!

In an instant, the earth split apart!

At this point, Wang Chen no longer continued to destroy the cavern. His figure flickered rapidly toward the tunnels leading to Xun Nine.

The rumble of collapsing continued to follow him inexorably.

Wang Chen looked back for a moment.

By this time, the Yin Wind Cave had already become an apocalyptic scene!

Yet the sense of crisis that had loomed over Wang Chen's head greatly diminished, causing him to let out a long sigh of relief.

The Yin Wind Cave initially felt to Wang Chen like a massive powder keg, liable to explode at any moment.

Now, after his commotion, the powder keg had been thoroughly mixed up and had also been doused with a large amount of water.

Although danger still existed, the likelihood of an accident happening had been greatly reduced.

Moreover, even if an eruption were to occur, its power would undoubtedly be much less.

It's worth noting that the location of the Yin Wind Cave was beneath the Xun City District, which Wang Chen governed. If the powder keg were to blow, he, as the Guarding Heavenly Master, would be the first to face the brunt of it, with consequences beyond any prediction.

But now, at last, he could sleep soundly.

"Roar~"

Just then, a deep roar came from the depths of the Yin Wind Cave.

It was filled with anger and grievance.

Like a giant beast that had been seriously injured, it was letting out a shriek in the face of an inescapable predicament.

The sound alone was heart-palpitating.

Wang Chen narrowed his eyes and then withdrew his gaze.

Both the Yin Wind Cave and the deeper White Bone Cavern represented only the parts he could currently access; the truly terrifying things were probably lurking much deeper.

Only, for some reason, they couldn't emerge.

Wang Chen's recent act of destroying the White Bone Cavern was undoubtedly the right move. Continuing to fight could have provoked a being capable of crushing him, which would have been suicidal.

He activated the Hidden God Technique, blending into the already disturbed Xun Nine Cavern, and silently returned to the surface.

Having accomplished what needed to be done, he left without trace, his achievements and fame hidden away!
