Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 664 -664: Monster Spirit Giant

Wang Chen laughed.

Had it been any other cultivator, seeing such a scene might have scared the piss out of them, but he found these ghosts extremely clean-cut and adorable.

They really are little cuties!

However, the ghosts, lacking human nature, didn’t give Wang Chen time to be pleased and immediately flew at him without a word.

They bared their fangs and brandished their claws, bringing with them bursts of Evil Qi, instantly creating a force not inferior to an Evil Qi Storm.

They wanted to tear Wang Chen to shreds!

...

Bring it on!

Wang Chen suddenly raised his right arm, his sleeve automatically rolling up to reveal a bronze armguard.

The armguard solidified from the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net!

The next moment, this demon-slaying treasure unfolded in an instant, turning into a large net that covered all directions, ensnaring all of the approaching ghosts within it.

The white ghosts, upon touching the net, immediately emitted sharp screeches and then vanished into smoke and ash.

These ghosts were much weaker than the Evil Wraiths Wang Chen had previously caught with the net, completely restrained by the Demon-Slaying Net, unable to struggle or resist, and became its “food” one after another.

In just a moment’s time, the hundreds of ghosts caught in the net were thoroughly digested by the Demon-Slaying Net!

Wang Chen felt somewhat unsatisfied as he shook the net rope held in his hand.

Such trifles couldn’t even get stuck between his teeth, let alone be used to warm up.

In fact, as his cultivation level continuously improved, the power of the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net also increased, and using it to catch low-level Evil Wraiths was an insult to this treasure!

In just a short time, the surroundings of Free Residence were cleared of Evil Wraiths!

Since the entire process was dominated by the Demon-Slaying Net, Wang Chen didn’t gain a single point of Human Virtue but scored several Yin Qi Pearls.

However, these Yin Qi Pearls were not very pure compared to the Utmost Yin Beads and couldn’t be used to refine the Nine Revolutions Pure Yang Beads; they could only be exchanged for some Spirit Stones.

After dealing with a large number of ghosts, Wang Chen started to explore further afield.

He needed many Utmost Yin Beads to refine into Nine Revolutions Pure Yang Beads to cultivate the Heavenly Dragon Vajra Method and further strengthen his Qi-Blood and Physique.

Missing out on places like the Evil Eye, it was not easy to find a “blessed land” where Evil Wraiths were entrenched!

Wang Chen was eager to know if the high-tier Evil Wraiths here possessed the same high “drop rate” as the West Evil Eye.

He quickly spotted his target!

An Evil Qi Storm made all the hidden demons, monsters, and spirits reveal themselves, and without wandering far, Wang Chen saw a giant-like Monster Spirit hunting ghosts.

The ghosts were the same white Evil Wraiths that Wang Chen had just netted, while the three-zhang-tall Monster Spirit had a powerful physique, limbs, and a head close to a human shape, but with blurred features and only rough outlines.

It marched in large strides chasing the ghosts, constantly reaching out with its huge hands to grab these poor Evil Wraiths.

Once the giant caught a ghost, it directly stuffed it into its gaping mouth,

and swallowed it down!

Despite the giant Monster Spirit’s huge size, its movements were quite nimble, capturing ghosts as easily as one would catch snails, without ever missing.

Just as Wang Chen was contemplating which method to use to capture this Monster Spirit exuding the peak aura of a Grievance Level,

the giant suddenly ceased its chase and turned its head to look at Wang Chen’s location.

Even though they were hundreds of steps apart, the gaze of the giant Monster Spirit seemed to penetrate the barriers of space, instantly landing on him and directly communicating with his Divine Soul will.

“Scram!”

A thunderous roar erupted within Wang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness: “This isn’t a place for you!”

It was a Monster Spirit that had developed spiritual intelligence!

Wang Chen was quite surprised.

Monster Spirits, strange beings, Evil Wraiths, and Strange Charm, although very different, are essentially condensates of Evil Qi-Blood, the result of its transformation, manifestation, or materialization.

Just as cultivators have distinctions such as Battle Cultivators, Dharma Cultivators, Sword Cultivators, and so on.

But whether it be Evil Wraiths or Monster Spirits, or even strange beings and Strange Charm, those that can communicate directly with humans are all considered rarities.

This Monster Spirit giant hadn’t yet reached the “Fiend” tier but was able to transmit its intentions to Wang Chen, and the message was crystal clear, which was truly remarkable.

Wang Chen had killed his fair share of Monster Spirits, but this was the first time he had encountered such a creature.

“I am here now, and I don’t plan to leave,” he responded telepathically, “what can you do about it!”

“Damn it!”

As expected, the Monster Spirit giant was enraged, its roar growing louder and louder, “If you won’t leave, then I will!”

Wang Chen: “…”

Surprisingly, the Monster Spirit giant really intended to leave, abandoning the scattered fleeing ghosts to their fate.

Wang Chen could feel its anger and unwillingness from hundreds of steps away.

This anger was like that of a starving traveler who had just found delicious food and drink to indulge in, only to have someone forcefully interrupt the feast.

Completely understandable!

Seeing the giant back down, Wang Chen’s interest in communicating flared up, “Don’t leave, let’s chat!”

A Monster Spirit at the Resentment Level, even one infinitely close to the Fiend tier, wasn’t considered much of a lucrative prey.

Compared to the Utmost Yin Bead that might drop from killing it, Wang Chen was more interested in digging out useful information from it.

“Cultivator, I’m not to be trifled with!”

The Monster Spirit giant grew even more infuriated, its body swelling significantly, “I’m not afraid of you!”

That means it was afraid!

Wang Chen found this interesting, “What is your name?”

The Monster Spirit giant visibly hesitated.

Its anger suddenly lessened considerably, and without attempting to flee on the spot, it hesitated before replying, “I have no name, but I know you want to kill me.”

“No, I don’t. Don’t talk nonsense!”

Wang Chen swiftly denied three times, “I just want to ask you a few questions.”

The Monster Spirit giant hesitated for a moment, “What questions?”

“First question.”

Wang Chen held up a finger, “Where do these wandering ghosts come from?”

“Wandering ghosts?”

The Monster Spirit giant replied, “I call them Little Ghosts, they like to hide in the crevices of rocks, and only appear after the Evil Qi Storm has passed.”

“Second question.”

Wang Chen erected another finger, “Do you know how the cultivator who was stationed here before died?”

This question clearly made the Monster Spirit giant shrink back a bit, and it hesitated for a while before shaking its head.

“Don’t want to say, or don’t dare to say?”

Wang Chen pressed, “I’ll ask this last question. If you don’t want to answer it, then I’ll send you into reincarnation!”

Could a Monster Spirit evil wraith destroyed by the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net possibly reenter the cycle of reincarnation?

Wang Chen, as the owner of the Demon-Slaying Net, didn’t know the answer either.

But that didn’t stop him from using it as a tool and weapon to threaten the other party.

As it turns out, even if a Monster Spirit develops spirituality, its intelligence still can’t match that of humans!

The Monster Spirit giant hesitated and hesitated, but in the end, it still gave Wang Chen an answer.
