Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 429 - Harvest

Chapter 429: Chapter 429 Harvest

“`

Finally, he encountered an Evil Wraith!

The eerie scene before him did not frighten Wang Chen; instead, it brought him a pleasant surprise.

On his way here, Wang Chen had slain quite a number of monsters.

But Evil Wraiths had been conspicuously absent.

However, he knew that there were Evil Wraiths in the Nine Dragons Land Palace, and in considerable numbers at that.

Wang Chen thus suspected that the unknown area he had been transported to might have some special circumstances that did not allow Evil Wraiths to exist or some other reason.

But now an Evil Wraith had appeared!

Wang Chen was pleasantly surprised because he needed to hunt Evil Wraiths to replenish the Spiritual Power of the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net.

The Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net possessed the powerful ability to devour Evil Power and convert it into Spiritual Power. Besides being an artifact against Evil Wraiths, it also served as a “super blue bottle” that allowed Wang Chen to fight protractedly.

This was crucial for enhancing Wang Chen’s combat strength.

However, the last time he unsealed the Creation Cauldron, Wang Chen underestimated the relic, causing the Spiritual Energy stored in the Demon-Slaying Net to be completely depleted, and it had not been replenished much since then.

This time, he came to the Nine Dragons Land Palace with the intention to harvest Evil Wraiths!

Just as Wang Chen was preparing to make his move, the black tentacle that had wriggled in from underneath the door seemed to be extremely frightened and suddenly retracted completely.

Without a second thought, Wang Chen reached out to grab at thin air, and the heavy stone door abruptly opened.

With a flash, he appeared outside of the house.

The light outside was very dim; the dark clouds in the sky seemed to press down on the rooftops, and silhouettes stood tall amidst the desolate village, encircling the stone house completely.

Most of these silhouettes were in ragged clothes, revealing lead-grey skin, each with a vacant expression and face without emotion. A dark green liquid continuously seeped from their eyes, noses, ears, and mouths.

A pair of lifeless eyes stared at Wang Chen, and in the depths of their pupils, a flame of greed leaped.

That was the longing of a beast starved for far too long for fresh flesh and blood!

An evil aura permeated everything, and silent ill intentions stealthily assaulted Wang Chen, seeking to ensnare him tightly.

Good timing!

Wang Chen suddenly raised his right arm, and the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net wrapped around his forearm flew out instantly.

It burst open abruptly!

In a breath’s time, the small net expanded into a vast one, covering an area of more than ten zhang.

Hundreds of Evil Wraiths were enveloped by the net at once!

“Ahhhh–”

An abrupt upsurge of wretched screams rang out as the Evil Wraiths encompassed by the Demon-Slaying Net emitted plumes of black smoke, writhing and twisting in agony.

Wang Chen fiercely pulled the net’s rope, and the net’s constricting and devouring capabilities surged dramatically, shrinking and phasing the captured Evil Wraiths at a rapid pace until they turned into specks of black ash in the blink of an eye.

A massive amount of Evil Power was converted into the purest Spiritual Power and filled the seemingly boundless internal space of the Demon-Slaying Net.

Wang Chen had possessed the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net for quite some time. Although he used it as if it was an extension of his own body, his understanding of the artifact still remained superficial.

He did not know how many Evil Wraiths the Demon-Slaying Net needed to devour before its Spiritual Power was filled up—it seemed like it would never reach capacity.

The moment Wang Chen finished harvesting this wave of Evil Wraiths, he abruptly retracted the Demon-Slaying Net.

Then he cast it out again.

He was like an experienced fisherman skillfully casting his large net to catch a pool of fish.

With each cast of the net, a large number of Evil Wraiths were captured!

The feeling was truly exhilarating!

The surrounding Evil Wraiths were not crops growing in the field, standing still, allowing Wang Chen to reap them at ease. Shadows flew at him from all directions, baring their fangs and claws with evil spirit sky-high.

However, Wang Chen had fortified himself with Heavy Light Shield Armor and summoned the Glowing Light Sword for body protection. The few Evil Wraiths that slipped through were instantly shredded by the brilliant sword light, not even touching the hem of his clothes.

Wang Chen stood firm on the spot, with the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net expanding and contracting. In just a short moment, he had harvested a significant number of Evil Wraiths.

The spiritual power within the Demon-Slaying Net soared rapidly.

Seeing that he had reaped all nearby evil wraiths, Wang Chen leapt onto the rooftop.

His eyes shone brilliantly as he fully expanded his divine sense.

Although the visibility around him was extremely low, the ghostly shadows lurking in the deserted village were all clearly presented to Wang Chen’s perception.

He suddenly leapt forward, covering several zhang, and the Demon-Slaying Net unfurled in his hand once more.

This time, the Demon-Slaying Net spread out over an area of more than thirty zhang, but it didn’t touch the ground; instead, it hovered above the roofs of the ruins after being cast.

The countless strands forming this giant net twinkled with a pale golden light, faintly revealing innumerable True Seal Talisman Scripts.

“Capture!”

Wang Chen suddenly shouted deeply.

The next moment, every evil wraith within the range of the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net involuntarily floated upwards.

They were automatically caught in the net!

This was the “Heaven-Ensnaring” might of the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net, enveloping and suppressing evil across the Four Directions Town; it was a dharma technique that Wang Chen had painstakingly explored and mastered through relentless research of this treasure.

However, limited by his own cultivation level, the “Heaven-Ensnaring” range was still quite limited, otherwise capturing all the evil wraiths in the deserted village in one swoop would not be an issue.

Despite that, one by one, the ghostly shadows were harvested into the net and annihilated in an instant.

The efficiency of the harvest greatly increased from before!

Boom!

Just as Wang Chen was retracting the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net, preparing to move to another location to strike again, an incredibly thick, furry arm abruptly burst through the rolling dark clouds; a black claw reached down towards him.

Clang!

Wang Chen reacted extremely quickly and immediately pinched the sword talisman: “Quickly!”

The Red Nether Sword sheathed on his back shot out instantly, its blade ablaze with scorching flames, it met the descending giant claw head-on.

Puchi!

This top-grade Spirit Sword instantly penetrated the giant claw, creating a wound the size of a washbasin; dark black blood splattered in all directions.

“Roar~”

Along with a painful roar, the seriously wounded giant claw quickly retracted.

Making the swiftly descending Red Nether Sword strike the air!

At this time, Wang Chen had clearly seen the face of the attacker.

It was a ten-plus zhang tall evil monster, its body covered in long black hair, with a fierce visage and horns growing from its head, spewing out black smoke from its mouth while holding a weapon resembling a harpoon in its left hand.

Wang Chen’s sword had evidently enraged the monster, as it furiously swung the harpoon down at him.

The black harpoon tore through the air with a howl, carrying the force of wind and thunder; its immense power was terrifying to hear!

Wang Chen didn’t dare to confront it head-on and immediately used “Shrinking Ground into Inches” to dodge to the left.

Crack!

The harpoon struck down, shattering the sturdy stone houses; an innumerable number of fragments flew in all directions.

Simultaneously, Wang Chen appeared seven zhang away and flung out dozens of talismans with a flick of his hand.

“Subdue!”

The talismans simultaneously flew towards the evil monster; in the blink of an eye, they stuck to its colossal body, exploding into bright clusters of spiritual light.

The evil monster, just as it was about to raise the harpoon again, was unexpectedly hit by the flying talismans.

Its movements abruptly halted, and it was immobilized!
