Nine Star Hegemon Body Arts Chapter 353

Chapter 353

The lake was three thousand miles wide and flat as a mirror . As soon as he caught sight of it, Long Chen urged Little Snow in its direction .

Little Snow was extremely fast, and those thousands of miles were traversed in just a short time .

“Hide in the spiritual s.p.a.ce for a moment . ” Long Chen activated his Spiritual Strength to return Little Snow to his spiritual s.p.a.ce . Glancing back at the Barbaric Wind Beast, he laughed mischievously .

“This little chase of ours is over . I’ll definitely remember you, and hopefully we’ll meet again!”

Long Chen cupped his fists in its direction and leaped into the lake, rapidly swimming to the bottom . The lake was extremely deep, almost like an abyss, and just a few dozen meters from the sh.o.r.e, the water level reached a depth of hundreds of meters .

Suddenly, the water trembled and Long Chen felt a powerful undercurrent rus.h.i.+ng towards him, accompanied by a terrifying pressure . He hastily swam further .

He could hear the Barbaric Wind Beast’s angry roar . Long Chen knew that it was currently attacking the lake .

Long Chen followed the undercurrent all the way to the center of the lake . More and more undercurrents shot out around him, most likely created by wind blades from the Barbaric Wind Beast .

However, the lake water was obstructing most of that attacking power . Other than the first few being a bit uncomfortable to Long Chen, the rest weren’t able to pose any threat to him once he was deeper .

At the center of the lake, the depth had reached a terrifying three thousand meters . The water pressure was strong, but it didn’t pose any danger to Long Chen .

Just like that, Long Chen hid in a crack at the bottom of the lake, using his divine sense to keep track of the activity above water . At the beginning, the lake water had been constantly shaking, with countless fish being killed by the impacts .

However, those impacts were unable to threaten him . The crazy bombardment continued for two hours before gradually pausing . Perhaps the Barbaric Wind Beast had already left .

Long Chen bitterly endured for a full day at the bottom of the lake before swimming back up to the surface . When he was about to reach the surface, he saw there were countless fish that were dead, floating on the surface . Many of them were species that Long Chen didn’t recognize .

Evildoer! Killing the innocent, and then shamelessly wasting it all! If only Wilde were here .

Long Chen stealthily stuck his head out from the crowd of dead fish, when the air suddenly shook .

“s.h.i.+t!” Long Chen hastily dived back into the water .

BOOM!

A huge wind blade shot through the water . Even though Long Chen had reacted quickly, he had only reached a depth of thirty meters before a terrifying wave of energy struck him . It was as if a hammer had smashed him, and he vomited a mouthful of blood .

At the same time, a strange energy struck his head . He became incredibly dizzy, and almost directly fainted .

Long Chen was horrified . He endured the intense pain in his head and continued swimming downwards .

Continuous explosions rang out and Long Chen’s head continued to buzz . He felt like his head might split apart .

f.u.c.k, now I know how those fish died . They weren’t killed by direct hits, but by the vibrations of the water from its attacks .

Long Chen once more reached the bottom of the lake, feeling like his head might split open . This time it had really been too dangerous . If he had lost consciousness, it would have been all too likely for him to have died .

“This is no solution… the Barbaric Wind Beast wants to kill me and definitely won’t leave this place . I have to think of a way to get out of here . ”

He began to swim over to the other sh.o.r.e . The part of the sh.o.r.e he chose to go to was like a steep cliff . It was still extremely deep here, and as long as he didn’t swim up, he still wouldn’t be noticed .

However, Long Chen didn’t dare climb ash.o.r.e . The lake might be three thousand miles wide, but that distance was nothing to the terrifying Barbaric Wind Beast .

With its speed and its control over wind energy, it would easily be able to run across the water . These three thousand miles were no obstruction to it .

I guess I can only use this clumsy method .

Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength spread out and a golden page appeared in front of him . He began to cut through the rock . He wanted to cut a tunnel that stretched far away enough from here that it was out of the Barbaric Wind Beast’s line of sight .

Although this method was a bit clumsy, Long Chen was unable to think of a better solution . It wasn’t as if he could try to compete in terms of patience .

Magical Beasts had shocking lifespans . A year was nothing to them . However, Long Chen would be killed if he waited a whole year .

So he didn’t dare compete with it in terms of patience . He still needed to go looking for more opportunities for himself . He could sense that the mysterious feeling of something summoning him was growing more intense . That should be the greatest opportunity for him .

He had no idea what this golden page was made of . It was thin as paper, but when he used Spiritual Strength to control it, it was capable of piercing iron like it was mud . Its sharpness was terrifying .

The golden page cut through this rock like a sharp blade cutting through tofu . In just a couple breaths time, a channel thick enough for him had been cut into the rock .

Long Chen did this all very carefully . He replaced the rock behind him as he went . If he made too big of a movement, then it would be noticed by the Barbaric Wind Beast .

However, Long Chen was pleasantly surprised to find that after he had excavated just a couple hundred meters, he actually managed to connect to a natural underground cave .

And the best thing about it was that he could feel wind within the cave . In other words, this cave had to be connected to the surface .

He sensed the wind and began walking with the wind . Generally, it was colder underground than the surface, so the wind would usually blow from underground to the surface .

In less than six hours of wandering underground, Long Chen finally saw light ahead . He was filled with an incomparable sensation of freedom .

He carefully went to the edge of the cave and used his divine sense to scout the surroundings . Only when Long Chen confirmed this wasn’t near the lake did he dare walk out .

He realized he had come out from halfway up a mountain . He hastily concealed his aura and snuck his way to the top of the mountain .

As he had expected, he hadn’t gone far .

From the top of the mountain, he could see the lake that was now over two hundred miles away . The Barbaric Wind Beast was still closely staring into the lake .

Hehe, just keep guarding here . I’ll be leaving first .

Although Long Chen knew he no longer needed to be so careful here, he had truly been scared by the Barbaric Wind Beast .

He carefully crept away . Only when he was two mountains further away did he finally relax .

Over these past few days of being chased by the Barbaric Wind Beast, Long Chen might have appeared relaxed, but in truth, his nerves had been constantly stretched taut . Even now that he had shaken off the Barbaric Wind Beast, he still almost felt like its huge head would come up from behind and swallow him at any moment .

Being chased by a terrifying fifth rank Magical Beast was practically a nightmare . If it had been any other person, then even if they managed to survive after being chased for that long, they probably would have had a mental collapse .

Now that he was further away, Long Chen began to increase his speed . When he was finally tens of thousands of miles away, he finally allowed himself to completely relax . He found a hidden area to rest .

His mental strain far surpa.s.sed the exhaustion of his body . Long Chen found a cave and summoned out Little Snow . With Little Snow guarding him, he slept deeply while lying on Little Snow’s side .

Even Tendon Transformation experts needed to sleep . That allowed them to relax in the face of the pressure they were under . Long Chen slept soundly for three whole days before finally opening his eyes, feeling completely refreshed .

“Little Snow, enter the spiritual s.p.a.ce . We’ll work together to make it bigger . ”

Long Chen needed to increase the size of his spiritual s.p.a.ce . Originally, three thousand meters was more than enough for Little Snow . But with the addition of the Wind Spirit Crystal, there were now terrifying gales surging around in his spiritual s.p.a.ce .

Although there were no signs that it would cause the spiritual s.p.a.ce to collapse for the moment, it was possible that it would pose a threat in the future . So now that he had escaped from the Barbaric Wind Beast’s chase, Long Chen was planning on settling this matter . Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to put his heart at ease .

Once he put Little Snow in his spiritual s.p.a.ce, Long Chen used his Spiritual Strength to communicate with him . “I want to increase the size of the spiritual s.p.a.ce . I’ll be using the Wind Spirit Crystal’s energy to evenly expand it . Little Snow, you do your best to try to spread the Wind Spirit Crystal’s energy evenly throughout the s.p.a.ce . ”

“Aowu!”

Long Chen nodded . Little Snow was still growing smarter . He was easily on the level of a human, and capable of comprehending such things .

“I’m starting . Don’t be nervous . ”

Long Chen took a deep breath . His mind-sea shook, and his Spiritual Strength began to circulate .

Within Long Chen’s boundless mind-sea, there was a small sphere that was practically just a speck of dust in this s.p.a.ce . That was his spiritual s.p.a.ce .

Ordinary cultivators were unable to expand their spiritual s.p.a.ce . They would normally have to destroy the original one to create a brand new spiritual s.p.a.ce .

As a person’s Spiritual Strength grew stronger, it would allow them to create larger and more stable spiritual s.p.a.ces . However, it would exhaust far more time . It could easily take months . Long Chen didn’t have that much time .

So Long Chen was planning on loosening the restrictions of his spiritual s.p.a.ce, and then borrowing the Wind Spirit Crystal’s energy to slowly expand it like slowly blowing a bubble .

In order to do this, there were two requirements . One was that there needed to be energy inside the spiritual s.p.a.ce that was evenly expanding it . The other was the the owner’s Spiritual Strength had to have reached an abnormal level . Otherwise, there was a risk of the spiritual s.p.a.ce exploding . However, this wasn’t anything difficult for Long Chen and Little Snow .

Three days later, the spiritual s.p.a.ce in Long Chen’s mind-sea had reached a width of thirty thousand meters . Long Chen gave Little Snow a thumbs-up . Little Snow’s control had been perfect, and there had been no danger the entire time .

Long Chen adjusted himself slightly . He finally took off the baby mask and revealed his face . He would reveal his real face to the world .

Although that would draw over countless people wanting to kill him, he had already made his decision . In the future, he would not run from those situations . If you want to kill me, then come . I’ll welcome you at any time .

Looking at the map, he saw that not far from this place was a forest . A red warning marker was drawn over it .

“The Forest of Darkness . ”

Long Chen smiled . Forests definitely had various kinds of precious medicinal ingredients . He definitely had to take a look .

He began to travel in its direction . After just a couple hundred miles, the vegetation started to become increasingly dense .

Suddenly, Long Chen’s divine sense noticed three figures in an open s.p.a.ce, and a pleasantly surprised expression appeared on his face .

“I thought I’d have to search everywhere for you . But instead, you appear in front of me like this, hehe!”
