Wood Spirit Sharing

The Evil Path Elder was a battle-hardened expert. Sensing something was wrong immediately, he decisively abandoned Tang Waner and retreated rapidly.

"Boom!"

Just as he retreated, a terrifying saber shadow descended, cleaving a long, deep trench into the earth.

The Evil Path Elder was horrified to see that, at some unknown moment, the half-dead Long Chen had stood up again. Spiritual Qi flowed throughout his entire body, as if he had been reborn.

The person who arrived was none other than Long Chen. Just moments ago, when he was heavily injured, Chu Yao had saved him and channeled her vast life force to heal his wounds.

However, Long Chen's body was too formidable; even with Chu Yao's massive life force, she could not immediately restore him to full health.

Seeing Tang Waner and the others in danger, Long Chen, having just recovered a sliver of Spiritual Qi, was about to rush out, but Chu Yao grabbed him.

"Long Chen, do you trust me?" Chu Yao asked with great seriousness.

"Of course I do. Why?" Long Chen was stunned. Asking such a question at such a critical moment left him bewildered.

A hint of warmth appeared in Chu Yao's beautiful eyes, and she smiled slightly. "Since you trust me, open your Soul. Let my Soul merge with yours. Only then will you be able to defeat that old Evil Path freak."

Although he didn't understand what Chu Yao was talking about, out of trust for her, Long Chen didn't hesitate to lower his Soul defenses.

Normally, a person's Soul is stored within the space between their eyebrows and is kept closed at all times to prevent Soul attacks from others.

By opening his Soul to Chu Yao now, Long Chen was essentially handing his life over to her without a moment's hesitation.

Because if Chu Yao wanted to kill Long Chen, she would only need a single thought to cause him to die instantly.

Seeing Long Chen trust her so completely, Chu Yao felt a slight ache in her nose, moved beyond words. Taking a deep breath, she formed a hand seal before her chest.

As soon as the seal appeared, Chu Yao slowly sat cross-legged on the ground. She became as still as a wooden statue, and in an instant, her life force began to slowly fade.

"Wood Spirit Sharing."

After Chu Yao softly uttered those words, her presence vanished completely. At the same time, Long Chen's Soul trembled.

In an instant, many memories merged into him. In that moment, Long Chen saw everything that had happened to Chu Yao.

At the same time, he understood that this Wood Spirit Sharing used Chu Yao's Soul power as a guide to share her energy with him.

As a Wood Cultivator, although Chu Yao's attacks were incomparably powerful, compared to her ocean-like reserves of energy, the energy she usually released was not worth mentioning.

Chu Yao had the energy but lacked powerful methods to release it, while Long Chen was the exact opposite; he had powerful methods but lacked sufficient energy.

The moment Chu Yao shared her energy with Long Chen, three leaves, each over a zhang long, appeared behind him.

They were not real leaves, but were condensed from the power of runes. They seemed real yet unreal, illusory yet substantial, existing between the void and reality, impossible to fathom.

As the three leaves appeared behind Long Chen, he immediately felt the ocean-like, vast energy contained within them.

It was over ten times more vast than the energy within his own Fengfu Star. Most importantly, that energy was now his own to use as he pleased.

With the support of this powerful energy, it was as if Long Chen had been fully revived on the spot. Seeing Tang Waner in danger, he immediately slashed out with his saber.

Seeing Long Chen arrive, Tang Waner finally calmed her trembling heart. Just moments ago, she thought she was going to die; the Evil Path Elder was too terrifying.

"Waner, do not attack. Protect Chu Yao and do not let anyone get near her."

Long Chen knew that Chu Yao was currently in a strange state. Using her Soul as a bridge to share energy, her physical body was unable to move, and her defensive capabilities were zero.

After giving his instructions, Long Chen swung the Zhan Xie in his hand once more, striking directly at the horrified Evil Path Elder.

"Your forehead is darkened today; you are doomed to die."

"Boom!"

The Evil Path Elder suppressed the horror in his heart and met Long Chen's Zhan Xie with a full-powered punch, only to be sent flying backward from the strike.

Like a rolling gourd, he flew hundreds of zhang before barely steadying himself. When he stood back up, his face was filled with madness.

"How is this possible? What is going on?" the Evil Path Elder couldn't help but roar at the sky.

The current Long Chen was even stronger than before. He couldn't even block a casual strike from Long Chen with his own full-powered attack, so it was no wonder he was going mad.

In truth, it wasn't that Long Chen had become stronger, but rather that the Elder had become weaker. Previously, he had forcefully blocked Long Chen's Heaven-Opening strike and had one of his arms shattered by Long Chen.

At the same time, his body had suffered internal injuries. However, in his shock and rage, he hadn't realized that his body had weakened, which was why he couldn't even withstand a normal strike from Long Chen.

"Hum."

Long Chen walked slowly toward the Evil Path Elder. With each step, the divine ring behind Long Chen reappeared. The hundred-zhang-diameter divine ring resembled a rainbow, shaking the sky.

With the reappearance of the divine ring, Long Chen's Aura erupted like a volcano, causing the space within a hundred-zhang radius around him to twist continuously.

Seen from afar, Long Chen looked like a faint shadow, making it impossible to see his true appearance. He was powerful and eerie.

As Long Chen walked step by step, the ground beneath his feet shattered continuously, like a Heavenly God descending to the world, commanding all ages to submit.

Whether they belonged to the Righteous Path or the Evil Path, everyone who saw Long Chen in this state was shocked. Long Chen was simply a monster; his strength had no limits.

"Kill!"

Suddenly, with a cold shout, Long Chen pushed off the ground with force. He transformed into a gale, charging toward the Evil Path Elder. His Aura was monstrous, like a life-taking Devil King, and he slashed out with Zhan Xie once more.

However, it was different from before. In the past, whenever Long Chen slashed out with his saber, the wind would howl, but this time, there was absolutely no sound.

That was because his power had reached an extreme, vibrating the Void Realm and causing the sounds to cancel each other out, resulting in total silence.

"I'll fight you to the death!"

The Evil Path Elder was shocked, angry, fearful, and terrified. However, relying on his years of combat experience, he knew that he only had a sliver of a chance of survival if he fought with all his might. He channeled all his strength and concentrated it into his palm.

"Ink Shadow Ghost Claw!"

"Boom!"

The entire battlefield shook violently once again. A figure flew out like a cannonball, passing directly through the entire battlefield and crashing into a large mountain dozens of miles away.

Along the way, he plowed a long, deep trench through the entire battlefield, only stopping when he collided with the large mountain.

The place he struck was a sheer cliff. After the Evil Path Elder collided with the cliff, his entire body was embedded in the stone face like a picture.

The entire cliff cracked extensively but did not collapse. The Evil Path Elder remained embedded in the cliff, his eyes staring at the battlefield, but they had lost their luster, still filled with shock and bewilderment.

"Hoo."

Resting the Zhan Xie lazily on his shoulder, Long Chen took a deep breath, feeling so moved he wanted to cry.

The feeling of being a spendthrift was truly wonderful. The feeling of squandering Spiritual Qi to his heart's content was exhilarating. In the past, he had wished he could split every bit of his Spiritual Qi in two to use it.

But now, with Chu Yao's energy sharing, he had finally transformed from a beggar into a tycoon, and he no longer needed to worry about his Spiritual Qi running dry.

"Brothers of the Righteous Path, men should kill, killing without mercy. Where robes are stained with blood, blades remain tainted with gore in battle.

Wield your weapons to your heart's content and pierce the bodies of the enemy! There is no need to suppress our desires. Avenge our fallen brothers; they are watching us from above! Brothers, kill for me!" Long Chen shouted passionately, his voice shaking the heavens.

"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"

Originally, because Long Chen had killed the Evil Path Elder, the entire battlefield had paused. When Long Chen's voice rang out, the eyes of the Righteous Path Disciples instantly turned red. Their blood boiled as they thought of the fallen brothers beside them. They brandished their weapons and charged desperately toward the Evil Path Disciples.

Now, the ratio of Righteous Path Disciples to Evil Path Disciples on the entire battlefield had basically become proportional, with only about two thousand people remaining on each side.

However, the Righteous Path Disciples had gone from over three thousand to over two thousand, while the Evil Path Disciples had gone from over ten thousand to over two thousand.

Yet, for such a lopsided ratio, two warriors were indispensable. One was Little Snow, which continuously released wind blades, killing Evil Path Disciples in large areas. If not for Long Chen instructing it to take opportunities to look after the other Core Disciples, its lethality would have been even greater.

The other hero was Guo Ran. However, Guo Ran was currently wielding a large saber, following behind everyone else, and was also frantically hacking at the Evil Path Disciples.

Because half an hour ago, his stock of supplies had been completely exhausted, which had him gritting his teeth in anger. He had no choice but to do as others did and hack with a weapon.

However, his combat strength was very average. Sometimes it took him a few breaths to kill a single ordinary Evil Path Disciple, and most of the time, that Disciple had already been struck several times by others; otherwise, it would be hard to say who would kill whom.

This was driving Guo Ran crazy, and he swore that he would never let himself run out of ammunition again in the future.

Now, the Righteous Path Disciples were surging with momentum, completely suppressing the Evil Path Disciples. After this battle, all of these Disciples would become formidable experts.

Seeing that the situation on this battlefield was settled, Long Chen glanced into the distance. The Senior Brother-level battlefield was quite intense because of the large number of people, though the combat strength on both sides was similar.

Long Chen carried Zhan Xie and charged into the Senior Brother-level battlefield. Under the swings of his long saber, no one could withstand a single blow. Moreover, Long Chen specifically targeted the powerful Evil Path Disciples, basically all of whom were Peak Tendon Transformation Realm experts.

With the support of Chu Yao's vast Spiritual Qi, Long Chen activated the runes on Zhan Xie. The power of a single slash reached ten million jin; no one could block it.

"Boom!"

Long Chen killed the several experts surrounding Senior Brother Wan with one slash, and Senior Brother Wan's face was filled with wild joy.

"Long Chen, well done! I didn't misjudge you," Senior Brother Wan laughed heartily. He had always believed that Long Chen would definitely grow into a peerless expert.

"You are not needed here. Go see if you can coordinate with that person to take down the one named Yin Luo. But be careful; his combat strength will definitely not be inferior to yours."

Hearing Senior Brother Wan say this, Long Chen nodded. He casually killed a few guys who looked unpleasant and rushed toward the distance, where the battlefield of Yin Luo and Mo Nian was located.
