Pill God Returns

Wu Chen walked out of the cave. They had been here for a few days. They had almost searched the land around the Ghost Blood Ridge, but they did not find any trace of the Sealing Stone. This made them extremely frustrated. Was the Sealing Stone still in the Ghost Blood Ridge? If it wasn't here, wouldn't their efforts be in vain if they continued searching here?    

However, they didn't dare to leave just like that. From all kinds of information, their target was the Ghost Blood Ridge. Thus, they had no choice but to stay here and continue searching for the Sealing Stone.    

"Hehe, Wu Chen."    

Suddenly, Wu Chen heard a familiar voice. He raised his head and saw two beautiful girls standing ten meters away from him. These two girls were naturally Xia Youlan and Shun Yan.    

"Hi, Sister Youlan."    

After greeting them, Wu Chen walked straight towards them.    

"Wu Chen, are you going out?" Xia Youlan asked.    

Wu Chen said, "Do you want to go out too?"    

Xia Youlan nodded. "Yes. Anyway, we can't find the Sealing Stone now, and there is no news about it at all. We have nothing to do in the cave. There is nothing else we can do besides cultivating."    

Wu Chen nodded in agreement. That was the reason why he came out of the cave.    

"Since you want to go out, why don't we go together? Junior sister, what do you think?" Xia Youlan turned around and asked Shun Yan.    

Shun Yan nodded and only said one word." En."    

"Alright, in that case, let's go."    

The three of them went out from here and followed a small path. They walked slowly, chatting as they walked. But... It was basically Wu Chen and Xia Youlan who were chatting. As for Shun Yan... He was like a foil, occasionally saying a few words. Other times, he would keep silent.    

It was obvious that Xia Youlan had also discovered this point. Regarding this, she felt rather helpless. She knew Shun Yan's character very well. He had a cold personality and did not like to talk. He was an extremely introverted type of person.    

"Wu Chen, so you are here."    

Suddenly, a voice was heard. The three of them turned their heads to look and frowned. They all knew that these people were from the Taiyi Sect.    

A few of them quickly walked over and glanced at the three of them. Finally, their eyes fell upon Wu Chen.    

"Wu Chen, do you still dare to fight me?"    

A young man wearing a Purple walked out and looked at Wu Chen.    

Looking at this man, Wu Chen narrowed his eyes. This man was none other than Sima Heng. He had lost to Immortal Sovereign Linglong in the battle of Martial Arts during Immortal Sovereign Linglong's birthday banquet.    

Looking at this man provoking him again, Wu Chen knew that this man was most likely here to take revenge for what happened that day.    

"Astral Reaching Stage Level 1."    

Very quickly, Wu Chen revealed Sima Heng's true cultivation base. No wonder he had the courage to challenge him again. It turned out that his cultivation base had broken through and reached the Astral Reaching Stage Level 1.    

"That's right, I am now an Astral Reaching Stage."    

As soon as Sima Heng finished speaking, a powerful Qi erupted from his body. It was like a stormy sea, surging continuously and violently.    

Wu Chen shrugged his shoulders. He didn't think anything of it. Sima Heng's cultivation base was improving. Wasn't he the same? In these past few days, his cultivation base had broken through to the Eighth Empyrean of True Martial Stage. He had encountered numerous life-and-death battles in this divine spatial zone, and he had absorbed an unknown amount of monster energy. All of these had helped him improve his cultivation base and strength. It was extremely beneficial to him.    

Furthermore, in this world, he had always surpassed others, and had never been surpassed by others.    

"Of course, you can also refuse. After all, with my current strength, if I were to fight with you, it would inevitably lead to criticism."    

Sima Heng clenched his fist. He had already broken through to the Astral Reaching Stage. His strength had increased tremendously. A Astral Reaching Stage was comparable to a Peak of the Ninth Empyrean of True Martial Stage. It was a completely different story. With his current strength, if he wanted to defeat Wu Chen... It was as easy as blowing off dust.    

"No need, I will do as you wish now."    

Wu Chen smiled faintly. It was just an Astral Reaching Stage. It wasn't like he had never fought or killed before, so what was the big deal?    

"Very good, very good."    

Sima Heng was very happy. He was afraid that Wu Chen wouldn't agree to it. If that was the case, it would be meaningless for him to come here. The last time he lost to Wu Chen was the greatest humiliation of his life. He had once sworn that he would get this back.    

"Shadow Wing Slash!"    

Sima Heng made his move right away, and it was a very powerful skill. He didn't hold back at all. The power that belonged to expert at Astral Reaching Stage was fully unleashed.    

Upon seeing this, the disciples of Taiyi Sect retreated a little. Shun Yan and the others also left some space for Wu Chen and Sima Heng. The second battle between the two seemed to be a battle of honor that concerned the reputation of the two sects. Therefore, they wouldn't interfere in this battle.    

Sima Heng shouted out loudly. He immediately used the Shadow Wing Slash, and an endless gale erupted from his body. Carrying a terrifying tearing force, it rushed towards Wu Chen. He didn't hold back at all, he just used his most powerful skill.    

"It's this move again?"    

Wu Chen didn't dare to be careless. In the past, he had fought Sima Heng. He deeply understood that Sima Heng's attack had a very terrifying power. It wouldn't be easy for him to deal with it.    

"Profound Sky Four Elements Formula."    

Wu Chen shouted out loudly. The energy in his body was wreaking havoc. A powerful Qi crazily erupted from his body, shaking the heavens and earth. It was incomparably shocking.    

In an instant, a monstrous flame was ignited. This flame was extremely fierce and raging. A massive amount of energy exploded out, causing the temperature of the area to rapidly rise. It was as if winter had suddenly turned into a hot summer.    

Immediately following that, a violent energy rushed out. The flames that filled the sky crazily extended and quickly turned into a huge phoenix. A huge figure stood between the sky and the earth. It had a fiery red body. Everything was displaying its power. It was absolutely extraordinary.    

"Hou!"    

The phoenix raised its head and let out a long roar. An enormous force burst out from its body, and with a flap of its wings, a terrifying flame rose into the air and descended.    

Countless hurricanes were instantly shattered. Under the attack of the flame, they were simply unable to withstand a single blow.    

"Eighth Empyrean of True Martial Stage."    

Sima Heng's facial expression changed slightly. He didn't expect that Wu Chen's cultivation base had also broken through to the Eighth Empyrean of True Martial Stage.
