Staying Alive Cautiously in the Celestial Realm and Becoming the Strongest-Chapter 594 - Loss

Chapter 594: Chapter 594 Loss

What does it feel like to die?

Wang Chen’s experience was his soul detachment and drifting aimlessly in the boundless darkness, completely losing his grounding and unable to find an exit or an end.

Until a beam of light suddenly pierced through the darkness and shone upon him, instantly pulling his consciousness back to reality.

As Wang Chen came to, he found himself standing in front of the Tower of Heaven-reaching once again.

It was as if he had been dreaming.

But the many treasures stored in the Sumeru Ring, including three extremely precious Reverse Spirit Vermilion Fruits, were reminding Wang Chen that his experience in the Tower of Heaven-reaching was very real!

He was actually killed in a split second.

Recalling the previous battle, Wang Chen subconsciously touched his forehead and couldn’t help but wryly smile.

Even an Undying Body of the Golden Core level couldn’t withstand the opponent’s single sword strike.

The guardian boss of the seventh floor was so formidable!

Without exaggeration, that sword strike not only expelled Wang Chen from the Tower of Heaven-reaching, but it also pierced through the pride deep in his heart.

Ever since he transmigrated, Wang Chen’s cultivation journey had been fraught with difficulties, but by relying on his immortal cultivation cheat panel, he had consistently made breakthroughs and ascended rapidly, his pace of improvement not the slightest bit inferior to the unparalleled geniuses of the major sects.

In the process, Wang Chen had overcome many strong opponents.

Some of his adversaries were of a higher strength and realm, yet they still fell by his hand.

It was these victories, as well as the rapid advancement of his cultivation level, that made Wang Chen shed the cautiousness he had right after transmigrating.

That kind of “laying low.”

Having strength and still being timid, one would really turn into a shrinking turtle over time!

However, the white-robed cultivator’s sword strike did not cause Wang Chen to lose his will, but it did level his arrogance and impetuousness.

It made him realize he still had a long way to go!

Wang Chen took a deep breath, and his tumultuous inner world gradually calmed down.

Now, the question arose, Wang Chen hadn’t made it through the seventh floor, and just as the Ancient Taoist Stele’s transmitted information described, he hadn’t lost his life as a result.

Furthermore, he was unscathed; there wasn’t even a mark on the part of his forehead where the sword struck.

So, what price did he pay?

Wang Chen’s mind stirred, and suddenly his expression changed drastically.

[Divine Soul Points -1]

This was a message prompt that had just appeared in his field of vision!

Wang Chen hurriedly called up the immortal cultivation panel.

[Divine Soul: 25]

Fuck!

He almost cursed aloud.

Wang Chen had never imagined that the cost of failing to clear a level in the Tower of Heaven-reaching would be the loss of Divine Soul points.

Although it was only 1 point, to make up for it now, he would need to invest 10000 points of Heavenly Merit!

How many cultivators would he need to kill to accumulate that much?

Wang Chen felt stifled just thinking about it!

Forget it.

Wang Chen could only reassure himself with frustration—compared to losing his life, the loss of 1 point in the Divine Soul attribute truly wasn’t much.

He also realized that even though he possessed the Ancient Taoist Stele and had the qualifications to re-enter the Tower of Heaven-reaching, he shouldn’t consider challenging that dreadful sword cultivator again until his strength and cultivation level reached a higher realm.

Otherwise, it really wasn’t worth the loss!

Boom~

Just as Wang Chen was comforting himself, the ground began to shake violently.

The huge tower in front of him boomed as it sank into the ground, and the whole world seemed as though it was about to collapse.

The next moment, an invisible, mighty force suddenly descended.

It “flung” Wang Chen out.

After a bout of the world spinning around, Wang Chen was shocked to find himself in the midst of a dense forest.

Finished?

Anyone who enters the Azure Drop Heaven Secret Realm can only stay inside for a maximum of three days.

After three days, unless a person dies inside, they will inevitably be forcibly teleported out, and then the entire Secret Realm will completely vanish from sight until it reappears.

But Wang Chen fought his way from the first layer of the Tower of Heaven-reaching to the seventh layer, and the total time hadn’t even reached half a two-hour period.

Was he expelled from the Secret Realm prematurely?

The thought had just surfaced in Wang Chen’s mind when a flash of light suddenly appeared a few dozen steps away from him, near a clump of bushes, revealing a cultivator dressed in a blue robe.

This cultivator was ragged and covered in wounds, looking quite wretched, with a face that still bore an expression of terror.

Clearly, he had gone through a rather unpleasant battle.

The blue-robed cultivator first froze, then quickly came to his senses, his gaze meeting Wang Chen’s.

His face changed drastically!

“Freeze!”

The next moment, the blue-robed cultivator raised his hand and threw three talismans at Wang Chen.

Three clumps of spiritual light exploded simultaneously, forming a strong binding force that enveloped Wang Chen!

Wang Chen immediately felt the space around him start to solidify, and his entire body came under an invisible suppression.

“Die!”

The blue-robed cultivator then performed a sword gesture and conjured a flying sword, aiming directly for Wang Chen’s throat—a vital point!

The cultivator clearly excelled in the art of combat, his moves were decisive and ruthless. Without uttering a word, he intended to put Wang Chen to death, as if there were a deep grievance between them.

In fact, Wang Chen did not know the person at all.

But having experienced the battle with the white-robed sword cultivator earlier, Wang Chen found the blue-robed cultivator’s sudden attack somewhat laughable.

Did he really think he could kill him with that little ability?

Faced with the sword flying towards him, Wang Chen spat out a beam of sword light.

The Dragon Abyss Sword, which had been nurtured within his Qi Sea Dantian, shot out rapidly, instantly revealing its true form, and collided heavily with the incoming flying sword.

Clang!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, two broken pieces of sword fell to the ground.

The blue-robed cultivator’s body shook, his eyes showing an incredulous look as blood spilled out from his mouth and nose.

The flying sword he had just used to attempt to kill Wang Chen was a top-grade Spirit Sword, close to the level of a Magical Treasure. After spending countless efforts nurturing it, he had refined it to the point where it was as responsive as his own limbs.

He never expected that it would be cut in two by Wang Chen’s flying sword with a single strike.

Both his Divine Soul and Mana backfired, causing the blue-robed cultivator to suffer no small injury.

He immediately realized that he had picked the wrong target and had kicked an iron wall.

Regret was already too late, and the blue-robed cultivator, having completely lost his will to fight, turned and fled, shooting into the dense jungle like an arrow released from a bowstring.

He attempted to escape and put distance between them!

However, just as he had lunged out a dozen steps, the Dragon Abyss Sword, carrying the thunderous roar of lightning, caught up with him and penetrated his Body Protection Magical Armor without hesitation.

A sword through the heart!

Splurt!

A gush of warm blood sprayed from the wound in his chest, the blue-robed cultivator stumbled, and his eyes became empty and confused.

He raised his hand intending to cover his chest, but he couldn’t even complete such a simple action, and immediately toppled to the ground.

[Heavenly Merit +400]

Wang Chen reached out and took the Storage Bag hanging from the waist of the corpse, flicking his fingers to release two talismans for the cultivator’s soul’s liberation.

Just then, he suddenly looked up at the sky.

The next moment, Wang Chen soared into the air.

He instantly saw the conspicuous fireworks rising from the forest canopy not far away—an assistance signal from a disciple of the West Sea Sect.

Wang Chen didn’t hesitate for an instant and immediately flew towards that direction with a beam of Sword Light.
