I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Why are these two sections of road separated by lava? Could it be that the other section of road is Qingyin Pavilion?" Li Chen stood in place, staring at the road ahead, muttering to himself with doubts in his heart.

The road ahead was blocked by lava, making it impossible to go any further. That stretch of road seemed to hold some secret, perhaps the legendary Qingyin Pavilion.

Li Chen rode on the Fire Qilin, slowly stepped back a few steps, then patted the Fire Qilin on the back and said, "Fire Qilin, let's step back a little, and then rush over." The Fire Qilin immediately understood what its master meant. After stepping back for a distance, it gathered its strength, took a running start, and then pushed off the ground with both feet. With the help of inertia and explosive force, it successfully brought Li Chen to the other side.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Fire Qilin. I'll have to walk the rest of the way on my own!" Li Chen said gratefully, gently stroking Fire Qilin's fur. He then put Fire Qilin into his system backpack and prepared to continue on his way.

This section of road is decorated in a very simple and elegant way. Every few sections of the road, there are two majestic dragon heads standing on both sides. There are iron chains tied in the dragon's mouth. There is a big pillar in the middle standing between the two dragons. The two dragon heads are looking at each other, which is a bit like two dragons playing with a pearl.

This stretch of road was not only beautifully decorated, but the chains also had dragon heads, which could serve as guardrails to prevent people from falling. However, with the invasion of Zhurong, the ancestor of fire, the two dragon heads and the pillars had been burned to a scorching temperature by the terrifyingly high temperature of magma. Even the slightest touch would cause unbearable pain!

However, at this moment, the ground beneath Li Chen's feet suddenly began to shake violently, as if the whole world was trembling. Then, several brown scorpion monsters emerged from the ground. They were huge, exuding a terrifying aura, and their mouths were equipped with two huge spikes like scorpions.

"Stop! Who are you? How dare you trespass into Qingyin Pavilion?" One of the scorpion demons raised its massive pincers and roared at Li Chen. Its voice was like thunder, deafening and terrifying. The other scorpion demons also gathered around Li Chen, surrounding him and forming a solid defensive line.

These scorpion demons exuded a powerful demonic aura, blending seamlessly with their surroundings and imbuing them with an invisible pressure. Their eyes were filled with vigilance and hostility, as if ready to attack at any moment. Facing these uninvited guests, Li Chen remained remarkably calm. He gazed calmly at the scorpion demons before him, his lips curling up slightly in a faint smile.

The scorpion demons' pincers gleamed with a cold light, incredibly sharp, capable of tearing through any enemy. Furthermore, they were capable of unleashing a powerful two-stage attack, making it impossible to defend against it. This made Li Chen realize that this battle might be more difficult than he had imagined. However, he showed no sign of retreat, instead, the fighting spirit within him was aroused.

At this moment, a shrill bird cry echoed from the sky. Li Chen looked up and saw several fiery red birds descending from the sky. The birds' feathers were as hot as flames, and their long beaks gleamed with sharp light, as if they could burn everything together with the flames.

With the appearance of these little birds with burning flames on their bodies, the atmosphere on the entire battlefield became more tense.

At the same time, there was another earthquake, and some purple scorpions crawled out from the ground. Their bodies were covered with hard shells, and the stingers on their tails were as sharp as steel needles. They also continuously sprayed purple venom from their mouths, which would quickly corrode human skin if touched.

They can perform the art of escaping the earth, attacking people standing on the ground from the ground, and injecting venom into the body with poison needles, causing people to die from poisoning! This makes them an extremely dangerous existence, making it difficult to guard against them.

At this moment, Li Chen was surrounded by this group of demons, and a strong sense of crisis surged in his heart. However, facing such a dangerous situation, he did not panic. Instead, his eyes were firm and calm, carefully observing the situation around him.

He knew that in order to defeat these powerful enemies, he had to fully utilize his own strength. So, he took a deep breath, calmed his mind, then slowly closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, and began to mobilize the mana in his body. Chen Li Chen began to operate the Heaven and Earth Heart Method.

At this moment, he seemed to merge with the heaven and earth, feeling the flow of spiritual energy around him. As time passed, his body emitted a faint glow, as if bathed in spiritual light.

This light did not come from the outside world, but emanated from within him, as if he had become the most dazzling being in the world. All the demons were frightened by the divine light on Li Chen's body and dared not move forward.

"You little minions don't deserve to know who I am, let alone my name. All you need to know is that I'm here, and your doom has arrived!" His voice was deep and powerful, filled with immense majesty and dominance. Every word was like a sharp sword, piercing the demons' hearts.

Hearing these words, the demons immediately panicked. They stared at the mysterious man in front of them with wide eyes, their hearts filled with fear.

"you wanna die!"

At this moment, a scorpion demon suddenly jumped out, waving its sharp pincers and rushing towards Li Chen. The pincers flashed with cold light, making people shudder.

Faced with this sudden attack, Li Chen remained unfazed. He calmly raised his staff and spun it rapidly in front of him. The shadow of the staff, like a whirlwind, instantly formed a solid defensive line.

The scorpion demon's pincers tightly clamped onto Li Chen's stick, but it couldn't move forward any further. Li Chen swung his stick hard, shaking the scorpion demon's pincers apart. Then, he swung forward violently, and the stick stabbed heavily into the scorpion demon's chest.

The scorpion demon screamed and was sent flying. It tumbled through the air before finally crashing to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust. The other demons were shocked upon seeing this. They hadn't expected this seemingly ordinary human to be so powerful.

Seeing that Li Chen dared to injure his comrades so arrogantly, the demons who were originally watching became furious and rushed forward like a tide, vowing to make Li Chen pay the price!

However, facing the fierce demon army, Li Chen did not show any fear, instead his eyes flashed with excitement. Li Chen held a long stick in his hand, and in a flash, he rushed into the demon army, starting a thrilling battle.

"Firestorm!"

Li Chen took a deep breath, gripped the long stick tightly with both hands, and roared. Then, he spun the stick at an extremely fast speed. As he moved, the air around him seemed to ignite, burning with raging flames. At the same time, a violent whirlwind was set off, and the terrifying power exploded in an instant.

This was Li Chen's unique skill—"Firestorm"! He was unleashing his full might on this skill, attempting to defeat the demon before him. As expected, this move was incredibly powerful, not only repelling the incoming demons but also striking fear into the hearts of the others, who dared not approach.

The wounded demons were lying on the ground, spitting blood from their mouths. They had no strength to get close to Li Chen at all, and their hearts began to waver!

At this moment, Li Chen quickly distanced himself from the demons. Then, the long stick in his hand underwent a miraculous transformation, turning into a magic wand for subduing demons.

"Wooden Demon Dance!"

He roared and threw the staff out like a boomerang without hesitation. The staff spun rapidly in the air, making a sharp whistling sound.

The remaining demons were already terrified by the "Firestorm" and had no time to react. The demon-subduing staff flashed across the sky like a bolt of lightning, charging directly at the demons with a fierce momentum.
