Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

They walked forward cautiously, surrounded by dim caves, with water dripping from the cave walls from time to time. Suddenly, a sharp sound of wind came from behind. Xiao Muchen turned around and swung his sword, only to see a huge, strange bat with spikes on its back pounce on them.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er instantly entered combat mode. The bat had a huge body, covered with hard scales, and flashed with strange light. Xiao Muchen's eyes condensed, and the strength of the peak of the four-star Dou Zun was instantly revealed. The Dou Qi on the Star Sword surged, and at the same time, he activated the Netherworld Poison Fire in his body, and the sword was instantly wrapped in flames, greatly increasing its power.

With the blessing of the strange fire, Xiao Muchen's strength far exceeded that of his peers, and he attacked the bat like a flash of lightning. The bat's strength was equivalent to that of the early Dou Zun, and it wanted to fight with its own defense and strength advantages, but under Xiao Muchen's powerful and swift attack, it instantly fell into a passive position.

It quickly dodged Xiao Muchen's first attack and opened its mouth to spray out a stream of corrosive green liquid. As a three-star Dou Zun, Lin Wan'er reacted quickly and waved her staff. A light curtain instantly appeared, blocking the liquid out.

Xiao Muchen took the opportunity to quickly step forward, and the Star Sword strengthened by the strange fire stabbed at the bat's abdomen like a meteor. The bat flapped its powerful wings, stirring up a violent airflow, trying to block Xiao Muchen's attack.

However, Xiao Muchen had the help of the strange fire and his fighting power was extraordinary. He directly broke through the airflow and his sword force did not decrease.

Lin Wan'er chanted something and cast a binding spell. The light instantly wrapped around the bat's limbs. The bat struggled desperately but could not break free.

Xiao Muchen seized the opportunity and swung the Star Sword. A flash of sword light passed by, and the sword wrapped in strange fire instantly cut off the bat's head. The bat's huge body fell to the ground and turned into a cloud of smoke and dissipated.

"This cave is indeed full of dangers." Xiao Muchen said, breathing slightly heavily.

Lin Wan'er nodded gently, "It's better to be careful. I don't know what's ahead."

The two continued to move forward, and a mysterious atmosphere filled the cave. As they walked, they came to a place similar to an altar. When Xiao Muchen just touched the altar, a flash of light passed by, and they entered a strange space world.

This is no longer a narrow cave, but a vast world with strange scenery all around, including rivers flowing with colorful light and huge strange plants.

Xiao Muchen looked around vigilantly, and suddenly, the ground began to tremble, and a huge flying monster flew over from a distance. The monster looked like an eagle, with its wings spread out to cover the sky, and its feathers were like sharp blades.

Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er encountered the enemy again. Xiao Muchen's figure flashed, and he rushed towards the monster like a ghost. On the star sword in his hand, two kinds of strange fires burned fiercely, emitting terrifying power.

This monster looks like a giant eagle and is named "Dark-Feathered Eagle". Although it is very powerful, it is just like an ant in front of Xiao Muchen, a four-star Dou Zun peak powerhouse.

Xiao Muchen's sword was as powerful as a rainbow, and each sword had the power to destroy the heavens and the earth. The dark-feathered eagle flapped its wings, stirring up gusts of wind, and at the same time, it spewed out sharp lightning from its mouth. However, these attacks had no effect on Xiao Muchen.

Xiao Muchen strolled leisurely in the wind and lightning, his sword becoming more and more fierce. Lin Wan'er waved her staff and cast a defensive spell to provide cover for Xiao Muchen.

During the battle, although Xiao Muchen's clothes were torn by the monster's attack, his momentum became stronger and stronger, like a god of war.

"You are so weak, yet you dare to be my enemy!" Xiao Muchen sneered.

As he attacked, he was thinking about countermeasures. Suddenly, he discovered that every time the Dark Feather Eagle launched a powerful attack, its eyes would briefly flash.

"Wan'er, attack its eyes!" Xiao Muchen shouted.

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er immediately concentrated her mind and injected all her fighting spirit into the staff. A bright light shot out from the staff, like a sharp arrow, piercing the dark-feathered eagle's eyes.

The dark-feathered eagle wanted to dodge, but it was too late. The light instantly penetrated its eyes, and the dark-feathered eagle let out a shrill scream and fell from the sky.

After defeating the monster, the two continued on their way and came to a spacious hall, the walls of which were inlaid with glittering gems.

Xiao Muchen looked around vigilantly. Suddenly, the ground began to tremble, and a huge stone platform slowly rose from the center of the hall. On the stone platform was a mysterious treasure chest, surrounded by a faint light.

At this moment, a soul slowly floated out of the treasure chest. This soul exuded a powerful aura, which made Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er feel nervous.

"Haha, two more ignorant guys come here." The soul sneered.

Xiao Muchen looked at the soul body, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"My name is Xuan Ying. I was originally a semi-saint, but was framed by a villain and unfortunately died here. I can only rely on this armor and the energy of heaven and earth here to survive. Anyone who intrudes will die at my hands." Xuan Ying said.

Xiao Muchen snorted coldly, "Come on then!"

As he spoke, Xiao Muchen flashed and rushed towards Xuanying. The Netherworld Poison Fire on the Xingchen Sword burned with great destructive power. Xuanying waved his hands, and a mysterious force rushed towards Xiao Muchen. Xiao Muchen's sword collided with this force, making a loud noise, and the powerful impact made Xiao Muchen take a few steps back.

Lin Wan'er also joined the battle without hesitation. She waved her staff and cast powerful spells to attack Xuanying.

Xuanying has the strength of a five-star Dou Zun, which should be far superior to Xiao Muchen. But Xiao Muchen, relying on the power of the strange fire, was able to fight him and not lose.

During the battle, Xiao Muchen's clothes were torn by Xuanying's power, leaving many cuts. Lin Wan'er's face also turned pale, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

While attacking, Xiao Muchen was thinking about countermeasures, "This is not a solution. We must find his weakness as soon as possible."

Lin Wan'er also observed Xuanying's movements intently, trying to find any flaws.

Suddenly, she discovered that every time Xuanying launched a powerful attack, a ray of light would flash on his chest.

"Mu Chen, attack his chest!" Lin Wan'er shouted.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Muchen gathered all his strength and pushed the power of the Netherworld Poison Fire to its maximum. The fighting spirit and flames on the Star Sword shone brightly, piercing Xuanying's chest like a blazing sun. Xuanying wanted to dodge, but it was too late.

The Star Sword pierced Xuanying's chest, and Xuanying screamed, and the mysterious power dissipated instantly. Although Xuanying was defeated, he did not die. He fell to the ground, his eyes full of reluctance and anger.

Xiao Muchen looked at Xuanying lying on the ground without any sympathy in his heart. He walked forward and opened the treasure chest, only to see a piece of soft armor shining with a mysterious purple light inside.

"This is the 'Purple Flame Spiritual Heart Armor', forged from the fusion of thousand-year-old purple flame crystal and spirit heart vine. This armor can withstand a full-strength attack from a semi-saint or below. The purple flame crystal gives the soft armor a powerful defensive power, while the spirit heart vine enables the soft armor to have the ability to self-repair. Even if it is damaged, it can recover in a short time. Wearing it will definitely give you a great advantage in battle." Xiao Muchen said excitedly.

Lin Wan'er smiled and nodded.

Just as they were about to leave, the Xuanying who had just been defeated suddenly said, "Wait a minute, my friend, I have something to ask of you."

Xiao Muchen frowned, "What's the matter?"

Xuanying said: "My friend has a strange fire and is also an alchemist. I beg you to help me refine a body so that I can be reborn. After the task is completed, I will reward you handsomely."

Xiao Muchen thought for a moment, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he said, "It's not easy, but I can give it a try. However, in order to ensure that you won't harm me, I need to plant a spell that can be detonated on your soul body. If there is any disadvantage, your soul will be reduced to ashes."

Xuanying's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he soon regained his composure. He knew he had no choice but to agree to Xiao Muchen's conditions. So, Xiao Muchen cast a spell and planted a detonation point on Xuanying's soul body.

Xuanying's soul then entered Xiao Muchen's storage ring, and Xiao Muchen used some of his fighting spirit to keep his soul. He secretly planned in his heart that he must be careful and not let Xuanying take any chances.

Afterwards, Xiao Muchen and Lin Wan'er left this space world.

"This adventure was really thrilling." Lin Wan'er said.

Xiao Muchen smiled and said, "But we have also gained a lot. Let's go back and prepare to help Xuanying refine his body."

The two of them walked back along the way they came while talking. The wind in the cave whistled in their ears, as if telling the story of the past.

After leaving the cave, the sunlight outside shone on them, bringing a sense of warmth and security.

"Next, we have to plan carefully how to help Xuanying refine his body." Xiao Muchen said, looking into the distance.

Lin Wan'er responded softly: "Yes, but we must also be careful of the possible risks."

The two figures gradually walked away and disappeared into the valley, ready to face new challenges and opportunities.
