I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Li Chen looked at the purple-black gourd in his hand with great pride, his lips curled up slightly, his eyes gleaming with excitement. You know, this purple-black gourd has a unique effect in Dream Westward Journey III - once activated, it will deduct half of the player's health, but at the same time, it will double the player's attack and critical hit rate!

This means that as long as it is used properly, Yuanxie is the best choice for players who pursue high damage and becomes a powerful magic weapon in their hands.

Li Chen held the Yuanxie tightly, feeling the powerful aura it exuded, and his heart was filled with confidence. He carefully placed the Yuanxie into the system backpack, as if it were a precious treasure. Then, he took a deep breath and shouted to his companions in the system space, "Everyone come out! We won!"

As Li Chen finished speaking, figures appeared before him. They were his companions, including the Hibiscus Fairy, the Fire-Eating Scorpion, the Jade Rabbit Fairy, the Green-Maned Lion King, and others. Their faces were filled with joy as they congratulated Li Chen.

Li Chen smiled and responded to everyone's greetings, then turned to look at Fairy Hibiscus. She walked forward with a look of concern on her face, worry in her eyes.

"Master, are you okay? I just saw in the system space that your chest was scratched by the evil Li Chen's sharp claws. I was so worried about you..." Fairy Hibiscus asked softly, with a hint of worry in her voice.

Li Chen shook his head and comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay! It's just a minor injury." He raised his hand, signaling to Fairy Hibiscus not to worry too much.

In fact, although his wounds looked scary, Zhu Bajie's earth shield skill was of great help. This earth shield not only greatly enhanced his defense, but also allowed him to continuously recover his physical strength during the battle, thus maintaining sufficient combat effectiveness.

However, despite this, he still felt a little scared. If it weren't for this earth shield, he would probably have died long ago.

"But it's better not to use that Yuanxie! Li Chen, it's better for you to destroy it!" The Jade Rabbit Fairy reminded carefully. Li Chen clearly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the Jade Rabbit Fairy.

"Fairy Jade Rabbit, why do you want me to destroy it?" Li Chen asked doubtfully. You know, such a magic weapon that can increase combat effectiveness is very rare. How is it possible to destroy it by myself?

"In ancient times, this magic weapon was possessed by people other than that ancient great power, but all of those people were possessed by demons and became demons that brought disaster to the three realms! I guess Tongtian Sect Master was also influenced by Yuanxie and became possessed by demons, right?" The Jade Rabbit Fairy showed a look of horror on her face, her voice trembling, as if she was extremely shocked and terrified by this discovery.

The Jade Rabbit Fairy's concerns were not unfounded, as she was well aware of the power and danger of this magic weapon. Although she had not personally witnessed what Tongtian Patriarch looked like after using the Abyss Evil, she could infer from legends and historical records that the consequences would be disastrous.

At this moment, Li Chen's body was fused with the divine powers of the Ancestral Witches of Gold, Wood, Water, and Fire, making him incredibly powerful. However, when he harnessed the power of the Abyssal Evil, he transformed into a terrifying demon. This transformation chilled everyone's heart, and it was hard to imagine anyone present being able to contend with and subdue him.

"Yes, Master! It would be best if you destroyed this magic weapon as soon as possible!" Fairy Hibiscus pleaded eagerly, her eyes filled with worry. She knew the terrifying power of this magic weapon. Anyone who used it would inevitably fall into madness, become a slave to its power, lose their self-awareness, and bring endless disasters to the world.

Faced with the Jade Rabbit Fairy and the Hibiscus Fairy's suggestion, everyone fell silent. They realized that this magical weapon was indeed a huge threat, and if not properly handled, it could lead to irreversible consequences. Destroying Yuanxie might be the only viable solution at this moment...

Even the ancient mighty one could only seal such a threatening evil magic weapon to prevent it from falling into the hands of others. However, now this magic weapon unexpectedly appeared in front of Li Chen.

But Li Chen didn't think so. Power itself wasn't good or evil; the key lay in how it was wielded. Just like a sharp sword, it could be used to protect lives, but it could also be used as a deadly weapon. This evil power, while so powerful that no one could fully control it, was precisely because of this that it was so precious.

"Don't say anything! I have already decided that I must keep this magic weapon! Believe me, I will definitely be able to control it!"

Li Chen's eyes were as firm as steel, his voice resounding, brimming with confidence and determination. Facing the crowd's persuasion, he remained undeterred, resolutely stating his position. In his mind, this magical weapon was more than just a weapon; it offered an opportunity to challenge himself and push his limits. He firmly believed that with diligent practice, he would one day master this sinister power and harness it for his own benefit.

"Master, you must consider this carefully!"

Everyone urged in unison, their eyes filled with worry and concern. They knew the danger of this magic weapon and were worried that Li Chen would be doomed.

However, Li Chen remained unmoved, convinced that his choice was the right one. For him, this magical weapon represented not only a boost in strength but also a crucial step toward fulfilling his wish to return home. Only by becoming stronger could he return to his family sooner rather than later.

Seeing that Li Chen had made up his mind, everyone knew they couldn't change his decision, so they could only sigh helplessly and silently accept the fact. Although they were still filled with worry and anxiety, they still chose to believe in Li Chen, hoping that he could truly control this evil force and not be harmed by it.

After all, they were Li Chen's most loyal followers. They had experienced countless life-and-death trials together, and had already established a deep trust and tacit understanding with each other. Therefore, no matter what difficulties and dangers lay ahead, they would stand by Li Chen without hesitation and fight alongside him.

"Time is extremely precious now. We must seize the opportunity to expand our victory and eliminate the Earth Ancestral Witch as soon as possible!" Li Chen said solemnly. He knew very well that the Earth Ancestral Witch was very powerful. If he could not take this opportunity to defeat him in one fell swoop, the consequences would be unimaginable.

At Li Chen's command, everyone sprang into action, beginning their march towards the Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall. Along the way, their expressions were solemn, their steps firm and powerful, each displaying immense courage and determination. They knew this battle depended on the fate of the entire world, and only an all-out effort could lead to victory.

After a difficult journey, they finally arrived at the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pavilion. This ancient and mysterious building, standing amidst the desolate landscape, appeared exceptionally solemn and majestic. A thick, demonic aura permeated the air, instilling fear in the heart. But Li Chen and his companions did not retreat. They gripped their weapons tightly and advanced step by step toward the Pavilion.
