Chapter 548: Invincible with Me (Part 1)

The long corridor contracted violently.

It was like a serpent whose belly had been slit open, writhing instinctively in pain.

This confirmed Wang Chen’s earlier suspicion: he was inside the Evil Nests, and the Evil Nests were "alive"!

The Illusion Array was undoubtedly part of the Evil Nests, intricate and maze-like. Finding the correct path out seemed nearly impossible.

Since it constantly shifted, even if Wang Chen managed to find a way, the Evil Nests would sever or alter it.

This meant that by conventional means, Wang Chen could never escape and would remain trapped forever.

With this realization, he chose the simplest and most brutal method:

To fight his way out!

No matter how many walls the maze had, as long as he kept destroying them, he would eventually break through.

At that moment, within the large hole created by the Concealed Dragon Stick, countless flesh buds sprouted rapidly, intertwining and merging, healing at an astonishing speed.

Wang Chen had seen this before.

Without hesitation, he gripped the stick with his left hand and formed a hand seal with his right, instantly summoning a Sky Thunder strike.

The unique environment of the Illusion Array greatly hindered the spellcasting of Sky Thunder, but Wang Chen had mastered this Purple Palace level spell to perfection. Relying solely on his own spiritual energy, it still unleashed tremendous destructive power.

The thunderbolt, infused with devastating force, crashed down, tearing apart the ground that had just "healed."

Dark red smoke rose from the inner walls, filling the air with a foul stench.

However, encased in his battle gear, Wang Chen couldn’t smell the odor. As the divine thunder struck, he leaped toward the hole.

In an instant, he passed through the opening and landed in the lower corridor!

The moment Wang Chen’s feet touched the resilient, leather-like ground, he saw a dazzling sword light ahead. Hundreds of lizard-like giants were besieging a cultivator.

The cultivator wore the Purple Blossom Spirit Armor and had activated its first formation—Thorns, which covered him in sharp spikes, making him resemble a hedgehog.

Yet, many of the spikes had already broken, and the armor’s protection had dimmed, stained with dark red, foul liquid.

The cultivator fought desperately, swinging his legal sword to fend off the surrounding giants.

Beneath his feet and around him lay piles of giant corpses and severed limbs!

Seeing this, Wang Chen didn’t hesitate. He surged forward, his long staff shooting out like a dragon emerging from the sea, piercing through the air.

Thud!

The Concealed Dragon Stick pierced through one giant, then a second, then a third…

"Invincible with me!"

As the higher-level spirit tool became laden with giant corpses, Wang Chen roared fiercely, shaking the stick violently and reducing all the corpses to dust.

At that moment, the cultivator, who had nearly reached his limit, heard Wang Chen’s battle cry and was instantly reinvigorated.

"Invincible with me" was the battle cry of the Demon-Slaying Army, used to boost morale and distinguish friend from foe.

Like Wang Chen, he had fallen into the Illusion Array, fighting alone and desperately until now, his heart filled with despair.

He never expected that in his final moments, a comrade would arrive. His excitement and relief were beyond words.

The cultivator swung his sword and decapitated a giant, roaring, "I am invincible!"

The sword light suddenly intensified, radiating in all directions and piercing through one giant after another.

The lizard giants, caught in a pincer attack, immediately fell into disarray.

Some turned to confront Wang Chen, while others continued to attack their initial foes. Some attempted to retreat to safety, and others writhed on the ground.

These giants possessed sharp claws, immense strength, thick hides, and the ability to spew negative energy and venom.

With their sheer numbers, they were exceedingly difficult to handle.

The cultivator Wang Chen was rescuing had exhausted every resource, using all his remaining talismans and spirit tools, just to hold on until now.

Yet, against Wang Chen, the innate weapons of the lizard giants proved utterly ineffective.

The Concealed Dragon Stick moved like a tempestuous dragon, casting waves of golden light. Any giant it struck either had their bones shattered, exploded into fragments, or was crushed into pulp!

Wang Chen pressed forward relentlessly, breaking through the lizard giants’ formation in mere moments.

He rejoined his comrade!

Simultaneously, their Purple Blossom Spirit Armors reestablished their connection.

Through this link, they could share simple messages, and Wang Chen immediately sensed the other’s frailty.

His fellow cultivator was on the verge of collapse!

Without hesitation, Wang Chen channeled his magic, transmitting it through the Purple Blossom Spirit Armor to his comrade.

This was a unique capability of the Purple Blossom Spirit Armor, allowing the concentration of magic and energy at close range to create a formidable combat aura.

Wang Chen directed his magic not to his comrade, but to the Purple Blossom Spirit Armor he wore.

His primary cultivation technique, the Preheaven Five Element Technique, harmonized perfectly with the Purple Blossom Spirit Armor. The magic flowed seamlessly, without any hindrance, making the entire process incredibly smooth.

Infused with the Preheaven Five Element magic, the Purple Blossom Spirit Armor shone brilliantly, bolstering Wang Chen’s comrade.

This allowed the cultivator to regain his breath.

Indeed, he had already consumed several spirit pills to replenish his energy, but the intensity of the battle left him no time to properly refine the elixirs, squandering much of their efficacy.

Now, with Wang Chen’s aid, he could finally recover somewhat.

Wang Chen stood by his side, continuously striking with the Concealed Dragon Stick and occasionally unleashing a Sky Thunder or Fire Crow Technique, decimating the surrounding lizard giants.

Within moments, no giants remained in their vicinity.

"I am Yan Zhengming, thank you, Senior Brother, for your assistance!"

The relieved cultivator gasped, his gratitude evident.

"You’re welcome!"

Before Wang Chen could finish speaking, he drove the Concealed Dragon Stick forcefully into the ground.

Though the stick lacked a spear’s piercing tip, in Wang Chen’s hands, it made no difference.

The Concealed Dragon Stick plunged effortlessly through the dense earth!

A flash of golden light appeared in Wang Chen’s eyes, and the stick suddenly radiated a rich golden glow, as if blades were slicing ruthlessly through the surrounding walls.

The sound of slicing echoed continuously, dark red liquid splattering everywhere, and in an instant, he carved out a large hole three feet across!

"Follow me!"

Wang Chen commanded firmly, leaping down through the opening he had created.

Yan Zhengming hesitated for only a moment before quickly following Wang Chen down.

After landing on the lower level, Wang Chen led his comrade forward, sprinting along the long corridor for a hundred steps before veering into a side passage on the right.

Just as Yan Zhengming was still trying to comprehend the situation, the sounds of battle cries erupted from ahead.

"I am invincible!"
