Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest

Chapter 670 -670: The Eighth Level

Demonic fiends are treacherous!

Even if the Monster Spirit Giant had kept its word just this once and hadn’t reneged, Wang Chen at that moment still wouldn’t have believed a word it said.

He threw himself into controlling the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net, firmly suppressing the Monster Spirit Giant’s resistance.

The constant friction between the palm and the long tether, even for his Vajra Immortality Body, abraded streaks of blood, which dripped into the ropes of the net.

Wang Chen was, however, totally unaware.

His feet were already deeply embedded in the ground, mist swirling above his head, and large beads of sweat incessantly seeped from his forehead, making him resemble a bow stretched to its limits.

...

The power he summoned had reached its summit!

And as time went on, the potency of the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net grew ever stronger.

Although the Monster Spirit Giant had successfully advanced to “Fiend” tier, its foundation was incredibly shaky; otherwise, it wouldn’t have harbored greedy thoughts towards Wang Chen and ended up in its current predicament.

As the evil power within its body continued to decline, its struggles and defiance gradually weakened.

After the Monster Spirit Giant pleaded for a moment and realized it couldn’t sway Wang Chen, venom laced its voice, “I curse you, may you die a horrible death, ah, ah, ah!”

The very next moment, the Monster Spirit Giant’s body, which had already shriveled by half, shook violently, and jets of blood sprayed from various parts of its body.

These blood arrows seemed sentient, attempting to squirt through the gaps in the net.

However, they were blocked by an invisible force, unable to break free no matter how they surged, and eventually vaporized into nothing.

The Monster Spirit Giant’s self-rescue measures failed, and it visibly wilted even further.

Clearly unwilling to accept its fate, it kept activating various strange and unpredictable abilities one after another.

But all ended in failure!

And with each attempt to harness its abilities, the Monster Spirit Giant was depleting its very essence.

How could Wang Chen possibly allow it to continue its mischief right under his nose? He exerted his full strength to drive the Demon-Slaying Net.

Since taking his post at the Northern Evil Eye, Wang Chen had gone out to hunt evil spirits daily, exterminating countless Monster Spirits and Evil Wraiths.

With a massive influx of evil power, the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net underwent invisible changes. Wang Chen found it even more intuitive to control and even resonated oddly with this magical treasure.

At that moment, the Demon-Slaying Net seemed to have become a part of Wang Chen’s body, perfectly integrating the force of his body, mana, and soul power, the entirety of which bore down on the Monster Spirit Giant!

The wails of the Monster Spirit Giant became feeble and weak, its size shrunk to less than half of its original.

Its body twisted grotesquely, its facial features blurring, its aura dwindling to a pitiable level.

Without any surprises, the Fiend tier Monster Spirit persisted for nearly the time it takes an incense stick to burn, and then, with a “puff,” its body burst like a balloon pricked by a Golden Needle.

It was utterly annihilated!

Wang Chen couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief.

Ever since he had acquired the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net, he had done away with countless Monster Spirits and Evil Wraiths with the help of this magical treasure.

The Monster Spirit Giant was undoubtedly the strongest among them.

The standoff just then wasn’t the slightest bit intense, but the harrowing ordeal within was beyond any words.

Regardless, he was the ultimate victor!

Reclaiming the Heaven-Ensnaring Punisher Net, a bead the size of a baby’s fist also landed in Wang Chen’s hand.

He didn’t examine it closely but directly stashed it in the Sumeru Ring, then quickly retreated to Free Residence.

Only after Wang Chen returned to this magical treasure-grade safe house did he truly relax, sitting down to circulate his energy and recover.

In the battle against the Monster Spirit Giant, his Soul Strength, Mana, and Soul Power had all been depleted to near exhaustion. Even though Mana could be recuperated through the Demon-Slaying Net, Soul Strength and Soul Power couldn’t be replenished so swiftly.

Had the Three-Eyed Fiend returned at that moment, Wang Chen would have been in dire straits!

Fortunately, all the Three-Eyed Fiends had been scared off by the Monster Spirit Giant and hadn’t appeared until the fight was over.

As the Five Elements Skill cycled through its course, Wang Chen left the quiet room only after restoring his Essence, Qi, and Spirit to their optimal state and retrieving the spoils of war from the Sumeru Ring to admire.

The pearl that had dropped from the gargantuan monster spirit was not only large and heavy, but also flawless, round, and crystal clear. Inside, a blood-red fluid seemed to flow, making it look incredibly beautiful and delicate.

“This is a Monster Spirit Pearl!”

Suddenly, the Ding peeked its head out from Wang Chen’s embrace and exclaimed with wide eyes, “Master, you’re amazing to have gotten such a large Monster Spirit Pearl.”

“What is a Monster Spirit Pearl?”

Wang Chen asked curiously, “Is it the same as a Yin Qi Pearl?”

“Yes and no.”

The Ding shook its head as it explained, “It’s quite different from a Yin Qi Pearl.”

In essence, the Monster Spirit Pearl is also a concentration of evil Yin forces, but it also integrates the monster spirit’s essence blood and Soul Strength, giving it unique properties.

If a Demon Cultivator were to get a Monster Spirit Pearl, they could refine it into a Magical Soul Puppet using blood refinement techniques.

This kind of puppet could retain about sixty to seventy percent of the monster spirit’s pre-death Cultivation Level and also possess very strong defense capabilities.

Therefore, the price of a Monster Spirit Pearl significantly exceeds that of a Yin Qi Pearl of the same tier.

The Monster Spirit Pearl that Wang Chen had acquired was of the third-tier, dwarfing all the Yin Qi Pearls he had obtained before!

After listening to the Ding’s explanation, Wang Chen couldn’t help but ask further, “Apart from making puppets, what other uses does it have?”

Monster Spirit Pearls are also top-notch materials for Artifact Refining, and are not easy to purchase normally.

A Magical Treasure embedded with a Monster Spirit Pearl could have its power increased by thirty percent!

Although Wang Chen listened, he felt a bit disappointed, “Can’t it be refined into a Pure Yang Pearl?”

Wang Chen had experienced the effects of Pure Yang Pearls early on and wished that every Yin Qi Pearl he obtained was of the purest quality. Now that the Ding had spoken so highly of the Monster Spirit Pearl, he couldn’t help but entertain the thought.

The Ding’s reply was simple, “No.”

Because the inner energy of the Monster Spirit Pearl is too complex, it’s completely unsuitable for cultivation with his primary techniques.

Forget it.

After thinking it over, Wang Chen decided to hold onto the Monster Spirit Pearl for the time being, without selling it.

Such treasures were always in demand; it was just that Wang Chen had no intention of selling or exchanging it for now.

So the Ding could only watch longingly as Wang Chen put the Monster Spirit Pearl back into the Sumeru Ring.

Then it withdrew back into the treasure Ding somewhat sulkily.

In the following days, Wang Chen temporarily ceased hunting demonic fiends and evil wraiths.

He devoted all his time to cultivation.

The experience points for the Innate Five Elements Skill increased bit by bit. Although the progression was slow, each step was solidly achieved.

As the saying goes, constant drip wears away the stone; through deep effort even an iron rod becomes a needle. Wang Chen, even with an immortal cultivation panel to cheat, never gave up on his own efforts.

Half a month later, Wang Chen ascended to the eighth level of the Purple Mansion.

The advancement process was unremarkable and hardly worth mentioning.

It was purely the result of having accumulated enough experience and then making a final push to succeed.

At the eighth level of the Purple Mansion, he was one step closer to Solidifying Pill.

Wang Chen was well aware that for the long-term goal, he should start preparing the resources needed for the Solidifying Pill.

This was not an easy task, and not even the external assistance could help!
