Hide in the world of gods and demons

Chapter 215 The Power of a Battle

Chen Li closed the attribute panel.

It was already dark at this time.

His wives and concubines were probably already asleep, so he decided to stay there for another night.

He got up, pushed open the heavy stone door, and stepped out of the small, quiet room.

A food box was placed at the door.

Chen Li basically did not abstain from food during his seclusion. Except when he was building his foundation, when he used a lot of fasting pills, he only secluded himself to calm his mind, abstain from desires, and not be disturbed by worldly affairs and women. In ordinary times, he would meditate and circulate his qi in a routine manner, and occasionally practice swordsmanship and draw talismans to adjust his mood.

Sometimes when I'm really bored, I'll even go out for a walk.

If there's no breakthrough right away, don't force it.

It's all about following your heart.

Not too fast, not too slow.

Neither arrogant nor impetuous.

Of course, under normal circumstances, his breakthroughs are relatively smooth.

For most levels, it takes five or six days to ten days to half a month to break through them naturally.

Breakthroughs in minor realms, such as from the third to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment, take a little longer, but it only took a month.

He had never encountered a situation like that of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, who would spend half a year or a year in seclusion, becoming physically and mentally exhausted, disheveled, and ultimately gaining nothing.

Chen Li returned to the meditation cushion and sat down, then opened the food box.

It contains two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish, plus a bowl of premium spiritual rice.

The portions were generous.

Especially the meat, a huge bowl full.

Judging from the floating spiritual energy above, this is the meat of a second-tier demon beast. When I first came to Red Pillar City, it was very difficult to buy this kind of demon beast meat. Now, with the demon beast disaster in the border areas, this kind of meat is becoming more and more common in the market!

However, even the meat of a third-tier demon beast is still hard to find.

The meat had long since gone cold.

It is several times tougher than vulcanized rubber.

But under Chen Li's teeth, which were like those of a demonic beast, it was still easily bitten off and ground up.

Overjoyed by his breakthrough, Chen Li ate his simple meal with great relish, devouring everything in a flash, leaving not a single bite.

He quickly tidied up the bowls and chopsticks and put them back into the food container.

With nothing else to do, Chen Li took out the jade slip containing the second-tier, fifth-level spell "Heaven-Shaking Technique" and began to examine it.

"This technique..."

At first glance, Chen Li felt a sense of déjà vu:
"It's somewhat similar to Earthshaking Technique, they seem to originate from the same source..."

One shook the heavens, the other shook the earth.

The name matches perfectly.

Moreover, Chen Li discovered that the hand seals, incantations, and spiritual energy circulation routes also had some similarities.

However, compared to the Earthshaking Technique of the second tier, the Heaven-Shaking Technique of the second tier, the fifth tier is more complex and has a more ingenious concept, like an upgraded and enhanced version.

Suddenly, Chen Li's heart skipped a beat.

"Isn't this a living textbook!"

He became somewhat agitated.

these past few months.

Aside from cultivation, he spent his spare time trying to research and upgrade the Traction Technique.

Unfortunately, progress has been extremely difficult.

Aside from producing a few poorly made, nonsensical failures, there has been virtually no progress.

Traction is a very special technique.

It's like a telekinetic field.

In Chen Li's repertoire of spells, there were no spells similar to or even related to it.

I had neither materials nor ideas.

It's like reinventing the wheel.

In this situation, upgrading or transforming it would be an impossible task.

The beauty of this technique lies in the fact that it vividly demonstrated to Chen Li what an upgraded version of the technique looks like, providing him with valuable experience and ideas for upgrading his traction technique in the future.

At this moment, Chen Li felt a burst of inspiration in his mind.

In an instant, several experimental design schemes emerged, waiting for him to verify them.

The progress he made simply from reading this technique surpassed all his previous progress.

He was eager to study traction techniques. But thankfully, reason prevailed over impulse.

His understanding of the Heaven-Shaking Technique is still superficial; he doesn't even know how to cast it, let alone analyze or comprehend it.

As the saying goes, sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood.

Let's wait until we max out the Heaven-Shaking Technique before making any decisions.

not to mention,
At this stage, this technique is far more important to him than the traction technique.

Chen Li took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distractions, and began to calm down and learn the Heaven-Shaking Technique.

Because it has the Earthshaking Technique as its foundation.

Learning the Heaven-Shaking Technique was not difficult for Chen Li.

He even felt it was simpler than the second-tier, fourth-level Void Flight Technique.

……

early morning.

Chen Li's mouth opened and closed silently, while his hands quickly formed hand seals.

Soon, heaven and earth resonated, and magical power surged forth.

He pointed.

"boom"

There was a loud bang.

The rock wall in front suddenly shattered, creating a large hole four or five meters in diameter, with smoke and dust flying everywhere.

"I didn't expect it to be this kind of attack..." Chen Li thought to himself.

Unlike the area-of-effect attack of Earthshaking.

The Heaven-Shaking Technique focuses a single point of shock at the target location, causing single-point destruction.

The former spreads, while the latter focuses.

With the same amount of energy, the latter has a significantly stronger attack power.

Chen Li felt that the description of this spell at the auction was rather conservative. In terms of single-target destructive power, it could barely reach the level of a typical second-tier, sixth-level spell.

With limited magical power, this spell maximized its destructive power, wasting not a single bit of extra magical power.

"What an ingenious structure, what a brilliant idea!" Chen Li couldn't help but admire.

Compared to this technique.

His supposedly successful upgrade to Flash of Light 3.0 was nothing short of a poorly made, shoddy product.

"The main task now is to level up this spell to the maximum level as soon as possible."

A second-tier, level 5 spell, once maxed out, is comparable to a second-tier, level 9 spell.

As for this "Heaven-Shaking Technique," Chen Li estimated that its destructive power at max level could even approach that of a Golden Core level technique.

Such a powerful spell could likely kill a cultivator who has just entered the Golden Core stage without a good defensive method.

At this point, the smoke and dust left behind after the destruction began to spread in this direction.

Chen Li decided to leave the underground meditation room and slowly walk to the courtyard outside.

The morning light is dim.

The eastern sky was already faintly tinged with a rosy glow.

A thin mist clung to the ground, flowing like water among the flowers and grass.

Chen Li paced back and forth in the courtyard, lost in thought.

"If we were to truly face a cultivator who has just entered the Golden Core stage..."

He paused in his steps, frowning in deep thought.

Without affecting the battle, he can now control up to four illusory bodies at the same time. In addition to his real body, he has found that as long as he prepares in advance and intentionally sets up an ambush, he may not be without the power to fight against cultivators who have just entered the Golden Core stage.

However, this still requires many prerequisites.

At the same time, the battle is estimated to be extremely dangerous, with life and death uncertain.

However, this also shows that the gap between himself and the Golden Core cultivator is no longer so far away or unattainable!

"At least I don't have to live so fearfully anymore."

Think of this.

Chen Li couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

It was as if all the pent-up emotions in his heart had been released in one gulp.

I just felt relaxed and comfortable.

As the regional center of the desolate west, Chizhu City has many Golden Core cultivators, but encountering one on the street is commonplace. Compared to the time spent in the True Immortal Sect, living here is far from easy.
