Chapter 41: The Huge Black Body

“How do you feel?”

Chen Ansheng looked at Li Huaizhen.

Li Huaizhen remained calm and said, “Reporting to my lord, this venom has corroded the flesh of my palm, but it hasn’t forcibly invaded my body.”

Chen Ansheng felt pain just watching, so he took out a defective healing pill. “Try taking this pill.”

This pill was worth twenty-five immortal crystals.

However, Chen Ansheng didn’t feel sorry at all, as Li Huaizhen was his loyal servant, and he would need him as a strong arm in the future. It would be truly painful if he were to be ruined because of this.

Li Huaizhen sensed the pill emanating immortal aura and knew its considerable value. He said in a panic, “My lord, you have bestowed upon me an immortal weapon and now an immortal medicine; how can I dare to take your immortal pill again?”

Chen Ansheng replied, “Less nonsense; are you going to listen to me or not?”

Li Huaizhen became even more flustered and said, “I will of course follow my lord’s commands!”

“That’s right.”

Chen Ansheng directly flicked the pill over, and Li Huaizhen had no choice but to catch it. At this moment, he felt both touched and that he was a useless person, wasting so many good things given by his lord.

The immortal pill melted upon entering his mouth.

The medicinal power took effect, and Li Huaizhen’s hand began to regrow flesh and blood at a visible speed.

After all, Li Huaizhen was still a mortal, while Chen Ansheng’s immortal pill could heal even immortal injuries. It was not surprising that it had the effect of bringing the dead back to life in the mortal realm.

“Thank you for your lord’s grace!”

Li Huaizhen quickly performed a salute.

Chen Ansheng nodded lightly and then said, “I’ll use a defensive immortal weapon to protect you; try again.”

With a thought, Chen Ansheng’s dark green finger ring began to absorb immortal energy, forming a red aura that enveloped him and Li Huaizhen.

Li Huaizhen showed no hesitation and once again reached out to touch the black mist.

Zizi…

The black mist touched the red aura, making a sound like a heated iron rod being plunged into ice water.

After waiting for more than ten breaths, the black mist ultimately failed to break through the defensive barrier.

“Very good. As expected of a defensive immortal weapon; enhanced by my immortal energy, its effectiveness is remarkable.”

Chen Ansheng expressed his satisfaction.

Previously, Su Tianqi, who was merely at the Great Ascension stage, could effortlessly defend against attacks from Earth Immortals using this immortal weapon; it might even be able to fend off attacks from the first rank of Immortals.

Now, using his immortal energy, Chen Ansheng’s defensive capability would naturally soar.

“Let’s go inside.”

Since there was no danger, Chen Ansheng stepped forward, and Li Huaizhen quickly followed.

“This place has also changed; it has formed its own space.”

Passing through the black mist, what unfolded before Chen Ansheng was a vast expanse of black ground.

Li Huaizhen was incredibly amazed; how could a cave transform into such a large area?

“My lord, look! There are so many giant birds in the sky!”

In surprise, Li Huaizhen manifested his spiritual sense to observe and shouted fearfully at the sight of the enormous black flying objects.

Chen Ansheng also noticed this.

“There’s no blood energy; they should just be illusions.”

Chen Ansheng’s spiritual awareness could unfold here, and he did not sense any vitality or blood energy from those black giant creatures.

Continuing to expand his spiritual sense, Chen Ansheng quickly searched for something unusual.

He soared into the sky, flying toward the central area of the ground, with Li Huaizhen hurriedly following.

In the center of the ground, a blood pool was bubbling.

A massive black figure emerged from the blood pool, revealing only half of its body.

It was completely black, with a pair of enormous wings spread behind it. Its shape resembled that of a human, but it had a pair of horns on its head, and its face was somewhat similar to that of a cow.

“So huge…”

Li Huaizhen’s spiritual sense probed the half-body towering over a hundred feet, unable to refrain from exclaiming.

“My lord, what is this creature? A demon?”

“Probably a devil?”

Chen Ansheng stared for a while; he didn’t know what this thing was, but it looked incredibly impressive and imposing.

“It seems very powerful; I wonder where it came from!” Li Huaizhen lamented.

“This being likely broke through a space barrier and came from the chaotic flow of space.”

Chen Ansheng had heard Li Zhengyang mention that the Immortal Realm had experienced countless wars throughout history, with many beings and items falling into the cracks created by these battles and drifting permanently within the chaotic space.

Among them, some would break through lower-level space barriers and end up in the realm of cultivation.

“Uh…”

Li Huaizhen didn’t quite understand and was too embarrassed to ask more.

“What are you still dawdling for? Hurry and see if there are any treasures around!”

“Yes, my lord.”

The two began to circle the blood pool, meticulously searching every inch of land.

After circling around, there was no special discovery.

“My lord, look at its right hand; it seems to be holding something.”

“Hmm! It is definitely holding something in its hand, likely a weapon.”

The enormous black monster had its arm submerged in the blood pool; without reaching down to explore, it was impossible to tell what it was gripping.

However, how could Chen Ansheng dare to go down casually?

One must know that those capable of withstanding the onslaught of chaotic space were not ordinary objects.

Just like Chen Ansheng’s cheap master, Zhu Feng, who was a powerful being at the level of Immortal Sovereign; even his body had been ravaged by chaotic space, demonstrating how terrifying the chaotic flows were.

And this gigantic black creature not only endured the chaotic space flow but also seemed to have signs of regeneration, suggesting it wouldn’t be inferior to an Immortal Sovereign when alive.

If he was afraid to go down, then he could try letting the red liquid in the blood pool flow out!

Chen Ansheng prepared to attack the blood pool, allowing the liquid inside to flow out.

After all, even though this was a self-contained space, the main space was still the Yunlong Realm. With Chen Ansheng’s fourth level of immortality, going all out could potentially create cracks in the space.

“Step back; I’m going to make a move.”

Without hesitation!

Chen Ansheng took a hoe from his storage bag; though it looked rustic, it was still an immortal tool.

Chen Ansheng urged his immortal energy, lifted the hoe, and struck down heavily.

Boom!

The space trembled as a small gap was dug at the edge of the blood pool by Chen Ansheng.

“That was easy, just like mining.”

Chen Ansheng smacked his lips; after being a miner for over a decade, he handled the hoe with ease.

He continued to dig, digging fiercely…

After several hundred strikes, a gap was created in the blood pool, and the red liquid began to flow out.

The liquid surface gradually lowered.

“Indeed, it’s a weapon.”

Chen Ansheng clearly saw that in the hand of the black giant monster was a broken halberd.

Upon closer inspection, the broken halberd was engraved with many strange patterns, resembling some kind of script.

“I don’t know what kind of race it is; it must have fallen into the space cracks during ancient times!”

As the liquid in the blood pool gradually dried up, the lower half of the black giant also became visible.

It had a large and thick tail, but its legs and tail were still bones, lacking any flesh.

“Crack, crack…”

Suddenly, a faint sound, like that of glass shattering, reached Chen Ansheng’s ears.

Chen Ansheng immediately became alert and secretly prepared his escape talisman and his killing talisman.

Next, Chen Ansheng saw tiny cracks form on the enormous body, which gradually extended. After a few breaths, the black fragments fell away.

Boom…

In the next moment!

The massive body burst apart and collapsed.

An extremely terrifying shockwave erupted, sweeping outward from the blood pool.
