Chapter 179: Fighting the Evil Spirits Again, the Ancient Heavenly Kun

The young girl's soft body was pressed tightly against his back, and he could even feel her rapid heartbeat through the fabric.

"Cough, cough… Little sister, let go quickly."

At this moment, Bei Nianyu was hanging onto Zhou Chen's body, hugging him tightly. Her slender arms tightened like iron hoops, nearly making him lose his breath.

He could feel Bei Nianyu's body stiffen upon hearing his words, and then she suddenly let go like a startled rabbit.

Her ears flushed red instantly as she hurriedly let go and took half a step back. She had just undergone the Awakening of her Ancient Heavenly Kun Bloodline and was not yet accustomed to its power, causing her to use too much force.

Zhou Chen couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. This Bloodline Power was far too formidable; no wonder Bei Nianyu would become an Empress in the future.

Bei Nianyu's eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked at Zhou Chen gently, whispering, "Brother Zhou… thank you. You are a good person, and I will repay you well."

Bei Nianyu's voice was soft, making Zhou Chen's heart feel a bit tingly.

"How will you repay me? By marrying me?"

Seeing her cute appearance, Zhou Chen couldn't help but joke with her.

To Zhou Chen's surprise, Bei Nianyu actually lowered her head and let out a soft "mm" in a voice only she could hear.

Unfortunately, Zhou Chen didn't hear it. Seeing Bei Nianyu's ears turned completely red, he thought she was just shy.

Just as Zhou Chen was about to speak, a massive roar suddenly echoed from the valley behind them.

Immediately, the entire Dragon Fall Abyss shook violently, and the dense fog on the rock walls, which hadn't dissipated for ten thousand years, churned wildly like boiling water.

After Zhou Chen finished absorbing the dormant Dragon Qi in the Dragon Transformation Pool, a jet-black Spiritual Qi suddenly erupted, turning into nine beams of black light that shot into the sky. The Void Realm, which could previously see light, was instantly covered in dark clouds.

"Not good!"

Zhou Chen's pupils constricted as he instinctively pulled Bei Nianyu behind him.

He looked up and saw that the originally gray clouds had been dyed blood-red, and countless twisted shadows could be seen squirming within the dense fog.

Roar!!!

The roars in the Void Realm became more frequent as dense swarms of Evil Spirits continuously flew out from the shadows of the blood-red clouds.

They were jet-black as ink, with terrifying blood-red light seeping from their eyes. Their fangs were as long and sharp as blades, and their bodies emitted a nauseating, putrid stench.

These Evil Spirits had originally been suppressed by the Dragon Transformation Pool for ten thousand years. After Zhou Chen and Bei Nianyu refined its power and the Dragon Qi suppression was lost, the Seal loosened, and the Evil Spirits swarmed out.

In the blink of an eye, a dense black mass of Evil Spirits completely surrounded the two of them.

A cold wind howled, and a bone-chilling coldness seeped into their marrow.

Bei Nianyu's face suddenly turned pale. Her slender fingers unconsciously gripped the corner of Zhou Chen's clothes as her voice trembled, "Brother Zhou… it's so scary… there are too many of them!"

Zhou Chen looked at the endless swarm of Evil Spirits before him with a solemn gaze, silently observing the Realm of these Evil Spirits.

Most were at the first or second level of the Saint Realm, with some at the fifth or sixth level. Evil Spirits at the eighth level of the Saint Realm and above were relatively rare.

"Don't be afraid while I'm here. These Evil Spirits came at the right time; I was just worried about having nowhere to stretch my limbs. Remember to protect yourself in a moment."

Zhou Chen had just reached a Breakthrough to the eighth level of the Saint Realm in the ancient Dragon Transformation Pool and was looking for a satisfying battle to release his power. These Evil Spirits had delivered themselves right to him.

As his voice fell.

Zhou Chen took a step forward, and the hard rock beneath his feet shattered, with spiderweb-like cracks spreading in all directions.

Eight phantoms of Ancient Dragon Elephants emerged from behind him. Each phantom was ten zhang tall, and they roared in unison with an extraordinary Aura.

It was none other than the Nine Revolutions Dragon Elephant Skill.

At the same time, Zhou Chen circulated the Nine Firmament Spirit Refining Art, covering his entire body with a thin layer of Divine Thought power.

This was the method Zhou Chen had developed to deal with Evil Spirits.

By combining the Divine Thought power of the Nine Firmament Spirit Refining Art with other Cultivation Techniques to form a Combo Skill, he greatly increased his lethality.

However, the limitations of this method were also very obvious. Not only did one need to study the Divine Thought technique to a profound level, but it also required massive Divine Thought power and control to achieve.

Not everyone's Divine Thought strength was as exaggerated as Zhou Chen's.

With a simple swing of his right fist, a visible white airwave formed wherever the fist wind passed.

Rumble!

The dozens of Evil Spirits at the very front didn't even have time to let out a howl before they were annihilated by the violent fist force.

"This power…"

Bei Nianyu watched with a stirred heart, unconsciously covering her mouth.

She had long known that Zhou Chen's strength was formidable, but she hadn't expected him to become even more terrifying after his Breakthrough.

The army of Evil Spirits was momentarily deterred by the power of Zhou Chen's punch, and their offensive slowed slightly. However, in the next instant, they fearlessly attacked again.

Zhou Chen had already prepared his defenses. With a flash of the Taiyi Golden Light Step, he turned into a beam of golden light, evading all the Evil Spirits' attacks.

At the same time, he seized every opening to continuously harvest the Evil Spirits.

Bei Nianyu also took the opportunity, her hands quickly forming Seals as she chanted under her breath.

Buzz.

The next moment, the Void Realm behind Bei Nianyu distorted, and a terrifying phantom of an Ancient Heavenly Kun appeared. It slowly spread its wings, blotting out the sun, with each feather flowing with pale green spiritual power that seemed to contain terrifying energy.

"Kunpeng Spreads its Wings!"

With a sharp cry from Bei Nianyu, the Heavenly Kun phantom suddenly flapped its wings, whipping up a violent Gale of spiritual power.

Swish, swish, swish!

The Gale hit wave after wave of Evil Spirits like raindrops.

Zhou Chen had thought Bei Nianyu's attacks would be significantly less effective. After all, these Evil Spirits were elusive and bizarre; without specific counter-measures, it was difficult to deal effective damage to them.

To his surprise, the Evil Spirits hit by the Gale were instantly torn to pieces by the spiritual power of the Ancient Heavenly Kun.

Those Evil Spirits lucky enough to dodge the Gale were also blown away by the resulting shockwaves, slamming into the rock walls before being finished off by the even denser Gale.

What Zhou Chen didn't know was that the phantom of the Ancient Heavenly Kun inherently possessed massive Divine Thought and Divine Soul power.

In particular, the Ancient Heavenly Kun Bloodline had a natural suppressive effect against such bizarre races.

Seeing this, the pressure in Zhou Chen's heart eased slightly.

The two cooperated with great chemistry. Bei Nianyu was responsible for large-scale attacks, while Zhou Chen focused on finishing off survivors and dealing with higher-Realm Evil Spirits to keep them away from her.

However, the number of Evil Spirits was simply too great, seemingly endless.

Seeing them charge forward one after another, surging out from the dense fog like an unending tide.

Bei Nianyu's breathing gradually became heavy. Fine beads of sweat broke out on her forehead, and a few strands of hair clung to her cheeks, adding a touch of fragility to her appearance.

"Brother Zhou, what should we do? We can't kill them all!"

The young girl's face was as pale as paper, her teeth clenched, and her voice carried a hint of exhaustion.

Continuously using her Bloodline Power consumed a huge amount of her spiritual power. At this moment, her Dantian was beginning to feel a faint stinging pain.

But she continued to persevere, refusing to stop.

Hearing this, Zhou Chen looked at Bei Nianyu and said calmly, "Don't worry. With me here, these beasts won't be able to cause any trouble."
