I Can Travel between Two Worlds

Lin Chen furrowed his brow.

This Luo Ming was indeed extraordinary; after donning that Battle Armor, his power nearly doubled.

"Hahaha, exhilarating!"

"Come on, come on again!"

The Red-faced Nether Ghost laughed heartily a few times.

Not like an enslaved ghost, but more like a Martial General who had fought on the battlefield all his life.

After exchanging a few rounds with the Red-faced Nether Ghost, Lin Chen couldn’t help but feel he’d met his match.

So he shouted:

"Come on again! You’ll have to catch my next few strikes well!"

With that said, Lin Chen soared skywards, gliding a hundred zhang above the Red-faced Nether Ghost.

Then he dove down, spinning his body and exerting force with his arm.

Star Shaking Blade Technique!

This strike, an eightfold increase in power!

Lin Chen slashed down, with tremendous force and rapid blade speed.

The Red-faced Nether Ghost saw this and laughed aloud.

"Well done!"

Immediately, he lifted his Long Spear and blocked the blade from the middle of the spear.

After the impact, the Red-faced Nether Ghost retreated two steps, while Lin Chen stepped back three.

In this strike, Lin Chen was still at a disadvantage.

"What great brute strength! I want to see just how strong you are!"

Lin Chen also felt competitive, so he gave it some thought.

From his chest, a streak of black began to spread, eventually forming a jet-black Battle Armor that enveloped Lin Chen entirely.

Martial Spirit, Profound Ink Armor!

"It’s been so long since I’ve met an opponent that warrants my full strength!"

Lin Chen felt a bit excited.

Lin Chen rarely used the Profound Ink Armor.

When he first acquired this Martial Spirit armor, Lin Chen couldn’t yet fully utilize its effects.

But now, Lin Chen was a Martial Venerable, with boundless Qi and Blood and immense physical strength.

Wearing this Profound Ink Armor had an almost negligible drain on his stamina.

Lin Chen sensed briefly that the Profound Ink Armor could enhance his physical attributes by about thirty percent.

And with his stamina, he could use it for several two-hour periods without effort.

"Come on again!"

Activating the Profound Ink Armor, Lin Chen once more delivered a forceful and substantial strike.

When the Black Blade and Red Spear collided, the residual energy from the fight stirred up a gale that extended several miles.

In this strike, both Lin Chen and the Red-faced Nether Ghost stepped back two steps each.

The two were evenly matched.

"Youngster, great power!"

The Red-faced Nether Ghost’s fighting spirit intensified.

"Come on again, come on again!"

So, the two exchanged more than a hundred rounds in rapid succession.

For the first thirty rounds, Lin Chen matched the Red-faced Nether Ghost blow for blow with sheer brute strength.

By the middle thirty rounds, the Red-faced Nether Ghost began gaining the upper hand, his Long Spear dancing awe-inspiringly, each thrust targeting vital points.

Lin Chen’s Martial Arts were still insufficient to compare with this Red-faced Nether Ghost.

In the last thirty rounds, Lin Chen was thoroughly suppressed.

The Red-faced Nether Ghost’s Long Spear seemed to carry its own unique Netherworld Ghost Qi.

Constantly eroding Lin Chen’s True Essence, causing his stamina to deplete rapidly.

"I can’t let this continue... it’s not a solution..."

Lin Chen gritted his teeth and shouted fiercely.

He fully executed the Vibrating Blade Martial Technique!

This strike, ninefold power increase!

Boom!

The terrifying brute force directly blasted the Red-faced Nether Ghost back dozens of meters, nearly causing him to lose grip on his Red Spear.

Lin Chen took advantage of this to retreat a thousand zhang, creating distance.

Using True Essence, he corroded the lingering Netherworld Ghost Qi.

Seeing this, the Red-faced Nether Ghost’s face briefly flashed with anger.

"Damn it, this Netherworld Ghost Qi has existed naturally since my death... even I can’t control it!"

"How I wish I could fight you, youngster, on fair terms."

The Red-faced Nether Ghost seemed not to have encountered an opponent for a long time and even began to dislike his own abilities.

Lin Chen, upon hearing this, also sighed slightly.

"Though an opponent, this Red-faced Nether Ghost is quite the open and honest fellow..."

"But this Netherworld Ghost Qi, it’s truly a nuisance."

Lin Chen furrowed his brow, feeling somewhat displeased.

Just then, from afar, Li Tianhan said:

"Brother Xu, this Netherworld Ghost Qi is particularly troublesome, but it fears objects of pure Yang nature!"

"I cultivate the Demon-Suppressing Celestial Thunder Body, and can guide a Thunder Seed into your body."

"By then, Brother Xu’s True Essence will gain the attribute of Demon-Suppressing Celestial Thunder, and this Netherworld Ghost Qi won’t be able to erode it anymore..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen’s heart was stirred, and he quickly said:

"Taoist Friend Li, if that’s so, that’s excellent!"

Li Tianhan nodded slightly and said, "Brother Xu, get ready!"

With that, he pointed one hand toward the sky, using himself as a conductor; soon, Celestial Thunder rumbled in the sky, and countless bolts of lightning filled the dark clouds.

Soon, a white bolt of lightning burst from the clouds and shot directly at Lin Chen.

The thunderbolt struck Lin Chen directly, yet he felt no pain.

Instead, there was a warm sensation, very comforting.

Seeing this, Li Tianhan exclaimed joyfully:

"Sure enough, Brother Xu is a Righteous cultivator! This Demon-Suppressing Thunder Seed... has been planted!"

Lin Chen nodded slightly, and under the Divine Soul Internal Observation.

He felt a small seed with thunder patterns added to his Dantian.

Lin Chen attempted to guide the lightning into his True Essence.

Indeed, he felt the Protective True Essence gain some unique properties.

Though the Demon-Suppressing Celestial Thunder was still weak and not yet enough to banish evil or demons.

But it was enough to ensure the Netherworld Ghost Qi could no longer harm him.

From afar, the Ghost-Eyed Old Monster, watching this scene, suddenly grew anxious and shouted immediately:

"Nether Ghost Ancestor, what are you waiting for... act quickly!"

Upon hearing this, the Red-faced Nether Ghost snorted coldly, exhaling two streams of red mist from his nostrils.

"Are you... teaching me how to do things?"

With these words, the Ghost-Eyed Old Monster’s neck shrank immediately, not daring to speak again.

Ever since he obtained this Red-faced Nether Ghost, he had repeatedly nurtured and tamed it.

But it still hadn’t fully retained its memories and habits from life...

Five years ago, during the battle at Jade Belt City, his goal was to completely tame this Red-faced Nether Ghost.
