Chapter 184: Spiritual Power Skyrocketed

Hearing Chen Yu’s roar, the Wraiths came to their senses.

(Right! I remember now, we’re here to eat him.)

(Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up and eat!)

(But there are so many of us! It’s not enough to share.)

(That’s right, we should discuss how to eat him.)

(How about a democratic vote? Those with more votes, eat it in our place…)

“You bunch of lunatics! Didn’t you just finish the competition?” Chen Yu was on the verge of tears. “What kind of bullsh*t philosophy is this? In the end, the old man won. Have you all forgotten?!”

(Sweep until you’re dead inside!)

(I remember now.)

(Me too.)

(You won, then hurry up and eat…)

The old Wraith slapped his head. (Yes, I won. Well, then I won’t stand on ceremony.)

After saying that, the old Wraith pouted like a gumdrop…

[Spirit sucked: Spirit +104]

[Spirit sucked: Spirit +83]

[Spirit sucked: Spirit +62…]

…

After an unknown amount of time.

He slowly opened his eyes.

The surrounding night sky was still bright. Even the position of the stars had not changed.

But Chen Yu felt as if a lifetime had passed.

God knows what he had experienced.

Those thousands of Wraiths were simply a group of lunatics.

When that old Wraith sucked itself dry, the other Wraiths actually started to study who should be next…

Within their consciousness, time seemed to have stopped.

Thus, Chen Yu lived together with a group of ‘sick’ Wraiths for who knows how many years.

He was bombarded with all kinds of ‘knowledge’, ‘philosophy’, and ‘principles’ every day.

In the later stages, this group of lunatics was actually comparable to beatbox…

It was only until the last Wraith ‘sucked’ him to death that he was finally able to break free.

“Phew…”

Chen Yu heaved a long sigh of relief and staggered to his feet. He felt that all the muscles in his body were stiff.

Clearly, only a few minutes had passed in the outside world.

Patting the dirt off his body, he looked around and found that everything was much brighter and more transparent.

This was not a change in his vision, but something that could not be explained or explained…

“Spiritual power?”

“This seems to be the effect of the massive increase in the spiritual attribute.”

Thinking up to this point, Chen Yu slowly controlled the rotation of his dantian. Then, with a clap, he pressed his palms together!

“Martial Art — Heavenly Reflection!”

“…”

After a short period of silence on the plain, a spark appeared in the air.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Boom! Boom!

Then, as if a nuclear bomb had exploded, sparks spread out at a terrifying speed that could not be seen with the naked eye!

One meter.

Ten meters.

A hundred meters…

In just one second, a sea of fire that was almost three hundred meters in front of Chen Yu expanded…

Chen Yu: “F*ck…”

The scorching heat brought up ‘tons’ of rising air currents and disturbed the entire plain.

Chen Yu withdrew his hands and quickly retreated amidst the whistling wind. The stifling feeling of suffocation gradually disappeared.

Half a minute later.

The flames created by the force disappeared.

The remaining flames burned the plain, becoming more and more intense.

However, Chen Yu no longer paid any attention to it.

He only stared at his hands in a daze, and his mind sank into shock.

The combination of unlimited force and a lot of spiritual power could actually increase the most basic ‘temperature-increasing burning technique’ to such a terrifying level…

Then, if he was like Duan Ye and released a high-temperature fireball… Would it create a small sun?

“Qi… Qi martial art majors have such a bright future!”

After a long while, Chen Yu calmed down and continued to move forward.

Just a thousand Wraiths could raise his [Spirit] attribute to such a level.

Then ten thousand?

A hundred thousand?

A million?

What about the Wraiths in the foreign land?

“Hiss.”

Just thinking about it made him shudder. His entire body was filled with surging motivation.

So what if he had to go through a few more discussions of the ‘lunatics’?

In front of the increase in strength, he could endure it all.

He was already addicted to it.

However, what happened next exceeded Chen Yu’s expectations.

For more than two hours, until dawn, not a single Wraith rushed over.

Some of the Wraiths even fled in all directions when they saw him appear… It was as if they had seen their natural enemy.

“Hmm?”

Chen Yu hesitated and stopped in his tracks. He was confused.

“Could it be that these Wraiths are communicating with each other?”

“That’s not right…” He frowned and fell into deep thought.

He was certain that none of the Wraiths that had entered the space of consciousness had escaped alive. It was impossible for them to form a connection with the Wraiths in the outside world.

Moreover, even until the last Wraith at that time, it did not realize the abnormality of its own kind. It continued to absorb the spiritual energy in a nervous manner and eventually sucked itself to death.

“Perhaps my spiritual energy is too high?”

“That shouldn’t be the case…”

“The spiritual energy of those ‘great mages’ above Level 5 should not be inferior to mine. How come I’ve never heard of Wraiths escaping…”

Raising his head and looking around at the rising sun in the distance, Chen Yu suddenly did not know what to do.

If these Wraiths ran away whenever they saw him in the future, how was he going to ‘farm’ his spiritual power?

Unlike the radiation strange realm in Green City, here, Wraiths increased their attributes ‘in the opposite direction’ by absorbing energy. There was no bottleneck at all.

They could grow ‘infinitely’.

If such a perfect place for cultivation ‘failed’…

“Ah…”

“It’s a little uncomfortable.”

After a moment of depression, Chen Yu didn’t want to give up. He continued to run forward for a while. He found a place where there were more Wraiths and stopped.

Swoosh!

In a flash, he hid in the grass. He stuck his head out and observed the group of Wraiths. He circulated the Qi in his body and turned into long snakes that attacked the major acupoints and meridians.

“Qi Chong — Shenjue acupoint!”

“Qi Chong — Taiyi acupoint!”

“Qi Chong — Tianxi acupoint…”

“Qi Chong…”

“Qi Hui — Shenzang acupoint!”

“Qi Hui — Qihai acupoint…”

“Dong!”

As the ‘long snakes’ in his body formed a closed loop, white flames suddenly erupted around Chen Yu.

“Martial Technique — Self-Destruction Immovable Body Explosion!”

Gusts of wind whistled.

The commotion immediately attracted the attention of the Wraiths in the distance.

However, when these Wraiths saw that it was Chen Yu, they scattered in all directions without hesitation.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Chen Yu stomped his feet heavily and rushed forward like chasing the stars and the moon, enveloping the group of Wraiths within the martial skill’s effective range.

However, the Wraiths did not suffer any injuries or abnormalities. In the blink of an eye, they had already fled without a trace..

“No.”

Putting away his martial skill, Chen Yu frowned.

The ‘suction force’ of this move was only targeted at the Qi. And the Wraiths did not belong to the Qi system of the real world, so the ‘Self-Destruction Immovable Body Explosion’ was ineffective against them.

Plop.

Sitting on the ground, Chen Yu scratched his head in frustration.

“The Wraiths don’t have Qi, but they can suck the spirit…”

“Then they are definitely related to the spiritual system. In terms of spiritual energy, they are a martial mage’s specialty…”

“Why don’t…”

“I ask Duan Ye?”

Thinking of this, Chen Yu did not delay any further. He stood up once again and returned with explosive energy.

Bang!

Bang, bang…

As he did not need to worry that his ‘followers’ would not be able to catch up, Chen Yu increased his speed to the maximum. Sparks flew along the way, and only afterimages could be seen clearly.

The five to six hour journey was completed in just two hours.

When he arrived at the artificial platform near the spacetime gateway, Chen Yu was stunned.

He saw that the once bustling and crowded platform was now empty.

“What the hell?”

Raising his head and looking at the sun in the sky, Chen Yu was slightly at a loss.

It was almost morning, and the sky was bright. Even if there were few people, it was impossible for there to be no one.

He had a faint feeling that something was wrong.

Clang!

Pulling out his long sword, Chen Yu lowered his center of gravity and cautiously circled around the area. After making sure that there weren’t any humans around, he carefully walked to the spacetime portal.

A strong suction force whirled around him.

Chen Yu’s blood seemed to have been sucked to the front, and his back felt a chill.

“Could it be…”

“I’ve stayed in the space of consciousness for a few years, but how many years have passed in the real world? Or even decades?”

“F*ck brother, don’t mess with me…”

Swallowing his saliva, Chen Yu gripped his longsword tightly, took a deep breath for a while, and tentatively took a step forward…

Swish!

His entire body was instantly sucked into it.

After a short period of weightlessness, Chen Yu returned to the real world.

The empty hall was a complete mess.

Documents, receipts, and packaging bags were scattered all over the ground, giving off a desolate feeling.

His heart sank. Chen Yu bent down with his sword in hand and reached out to touch the marble bricks on the ground. “There’s not much dust. It’s fine. It shouldn’t be a few years later…”

“But…”

“Where did everyone go?”

Straightening up, he walked out of the hall slowly, passed through the isolation room, and entered the mystical realm square. There was still no one in front of him.

Including the ticket office.

The only thing left was the rustling north wind, blowing away the weeds and empty bottles.

Clang.

Putting back his sword, Chen Yu picked up an empty bottle and poured out a few drops of water. He was completely dumbfounded.

He took out his phone. The battery was left at 45%, but the signal was 0.

Clang.

Throwing the flying water bottle, he quickened his pace and walked to the closed door in front of the square. He checked it a few times and reached out to knock.

Knock, knock!

“Who is it?”

Outside the door, a nervous voice immediately sounded. “Who is inside?”

Hearing the voice, Chen Yu immediately heaved a sigh of relief. “I am a customer of the alien land.”

“There’s someone else inside?!”

“Shouldn’t there be someone? What if it turns yellow?”

Creak, creak, creak…

The metal door slowly opened.

Just as Chen Yu was about to walk forward, four armed police officers pointed their muzzles at his head.

Behind the four armed police officers was a fully armed unit.

Sniper rifles, anti-aircraft guns, military off-road guns, parking machine guns…

They even had individual small nuclear bombs.

Chen Yu: “…”

“Don’t move, raise your hands! Otherwise, we’ll shoot… No, shoot… No, we’ll shoot a nuclear bomb!”

Chen Yu: “…”
