I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"How strange! Doesn't this Weak Water kill anyone who touches it?" Li Chen wondered. According to common sense, falling into the Weak Water would have been fatal, but now he wasn't hurt at all. Furthermore, he could even swim freely in the Weak Water, just like in normal water!

However, now was not the time to dwell on these questions. He had to return to shore as quickly as possible and focus on dealing with the Five Elements Ancestral Witch. To avoid detection, Li Chen could only cautiously dive into the water, remaining as quiet and unobtrusive as possible. His movements were gentle and cautious, fearing the slightest ripple or sound that would reveal his whereabouts. As time passed, he slowly approached Dongsheng Shenzhou, silently praying that he would not be discovered.

"Strange, why is that kid gone? Not even his bones have floated to the surface of the Underworld Sea. Could it be that he survived after falling into the Underworld Sea?" The Five Elements Ancestral Witch frowned, wondering to himself. According to common sense, when a person falls into the Weak Water, their body will quickly corrode, and only bones will eventually float to the surface. However, the scene before them defied common sense, leaving the Five Elements Ancestral Witch perplexed.

"Coward, get out of here!" The Five Elements Ancestral Shaman roared to the heavens, his voice as deafening as thunder. He was trying to force Li Chen out of the Nether Sea and put him to death. The Five Elements Ancestral Shaman's roar was like a thunderstorm, causing the waters of the Nether Sea to ripple with its immense power!

At this moment, the Five Elements Ancestral Witch suddenly noticed a vague black shadow in the water, moving in one direction at a slow and steady speed.

The shadow was so blurry in the water, but the Five Elements Ancestral Wizard's sharp eyes still caught its presence. He stared at the shadow with wide eyes, anger and murderous intent welling up in his heart.

"So you're here!" The Five Elements Ancestral Shaman roared, his eyes flashing with a fierce light. He had finally found Li Chen's trace, and his heart was filled with the desire for revenge.

"Li Chen, I have discovered you, get ready to die!" The Five Elements Ancestral Witch said gritting his teeth, his tone revealing endless hatred.

He decided not to delay any longer and immediately unleashed his powerful magical powers, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Li Chen. The Five Elements Ancestral Witch raised the two massive axes high and chopped down heavily on the slowly moving black shadow in the water!

"Oops, I've been discovered!"

Li Chen couldn't help but feel a little frightened, but he soon calmed down. His body was not afraid of the erosion of weak water, which meant that he could have a real battle with the Five Elements Ancestral Witch just like on land!

"Earth—Protection of the Earth!"

At this moment, Li Chen's body suddenly shone with an earthy yellow light, as deep and heavy as the earth. As the light shone, Li Chen's body began to change, gradually transforming into an extremely hard stone statue!

This miraculous skill is the powerful strength bestowed upon him by the Earth Ancestral Witch's spirit! Not only does it make Li Chen's body as solid as a rock, but it also allows him to direct this power towards the intended target during an attack, making the attack even more powerful. It's worth noting that this move is also one of the favorites of Fairy Hibiscus and the Fire-Eating Poison Scorpion.

Li Chen relied on this amazing defensive power to successfully withstand the double axe blows from the Five Elements Ancestral Witch. He then leaped onto the calm water. Gazing at the demon god before him, emitting an astonishing pressure, Li Chen no longer felt the slightest fear.

Because he knew that his body was not afraid of the erosion of weak water, which meant that he could have a thrilling battle with the Five Elements Ancestral Witch on the Nether Sea without any scruples!

"I didn't expect you to be able to resist the erosion of weak water."

The Five Elements Ancestral Witch's face was slightly surprised, because even he didn't dare to touch the Weak Water. This Weak Water was extremely poisonous. No matter what kind of immortal or sacred being in the Three Realms, they couldn't touch it. However, Li Chen had the power to resist the erosion of the Weak Water.

"System, can you explain why I can resist the erosion of weak water?"

Li Chen asked the system doubtfully. He was curious as to why he was not afraid of the erosion of weak water?

"Host, you may not know that Marshal Tianpeng holds an extremely high status in Taoist mythology. He is the leader of the Four Saints of the North Pole, responsible for guarding the Tianhe River and leading 8 celestial sailors. His duties include patrolling the Weak Waters. If he discovers an invasion by extraterrestrial creatures, he will sound the alarm and prepare the other marshals.

Having spent so long performing missions within the Weak Water, Marshal Tianpeng is well-versed in its properties and is therefore able to resist its toxicity. Furthermore, during his missions, Marshal Tianpeng acquired spells or magical treasures that enhance his resistance, which is another reason he can resist the Weak Water. "And since you have acquired Zhu Bajie's power, you have naturally acquired Marshal Tianpeng's power, and are naturally not afraid of the Weak Water's erosion!"

After hearing the system's explanation, Li Chen finally understood what was going on. Li Chen had once watched a TV series in which Sun Wukong was captured by a villain boss and locked in an alchemy furnace, in preparation for refining the seven relics in Sun Wukong's body. Zhu Bajie then crossed the Weak Water to rescue Sun Wukong.

Li Chen finally understood that he could now confidently confront the Five Elements Ancestral Witch. However, the Five Elements Ancestral Witch's powerful strength was still not to be underestimated!

"Five Elements Ancestral Witch! Let's fight it out now!"

Li Chen activated the ancestral witch power of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth within his body! His body immediately shone with a multicolored light, the light of the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth continuously alternating across his body. Each ray of light represented a powerful force, and these five forces converged within him into a massive energy.

His body seemed to transform into a massive body of energy, emitting a suffocating pressure that shocked everyone. His power had surpassed the limits of humanity, reaching an unprecedented height. At this moment, he became the most powerful being in the world.

As the power of the Five Elements surged, Li Chen's aura grew stronger, like a surging torrent, constantly pouring out of him. His power seemed boundless, constantly climbing to its peak. His gaze was like a torch, fixed tightly on the Five Elements Ancestral Witch, burning with rage, as if he wanted to completely devour the opponent.

The Five Elements Ancestral Witch felt the threat from Li Chen and roared. He opened his arms, raised the two huge axes, and released endless power. His body became larger and larger, and finally turned into a towering mountain, confronting Li Chen.

Li Chen showed no fear. He clenched his fists and swung them with all his might. The power of the Five Elements instantly condensed into a multicolored divine sword. He raised the sword high and slashed fiercely at the Five Elements Ancestral Witch. Wherever the blade passed, the void shattered and space distorted. With unparalleled might, it struck the Five Elements Ancestral Witch directly.
