I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Hahahahahaha! You pathetic creatures, you still dream of escaping from my grasp? That's just wishful thinking!"

The strange fog that filled the air suddenly burst into a creepy and hideous laugh. The laugh seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, icy cold that penetrated the bone marrow, causing everyone present to shiver uncontrollably, and an uncontrollable fear surged in their hearts.

Just as everyone was trembling with fear, the previously erratic mist suddenly began to condense and transform at an incredible speed. In the blink of an eye, a huge, hideous and terrifying beast appeared before everyone.

Its huge body was like a small hill, blocking out the sky and the sun; its body was covered with dense, knife-sharp bone spurs, flashing with cold light, making people shudder; its extremely sharp claws were like the scythe of the god of death, and it seemed that with a light wave it could tear everything in the world into pieces; its bloody mouth was opened to the extreme, as if it could swallow the entire world, and bursts of low roars came from it, deafening.

What was even more terrifying was that the aura emitted by this giant beast was extremely powerful and evil. That overwhelming pressure was like those cruel ancient witches descending to the world, bringing with it endless violence, blood, and slaughter, filling every inch of space and making it hard for everyone to breathe.

Faced with such a terrifying presence, the atmosphere at the scene reached a fever pitch. However, at this moment, Li Chen, who was in the crowd, remained surprisingly calm. He took a deep breath and shouted, "Don't hesitate any longer! Everyone, hurry up and leave! The faster the better! Leave this to me. I'll do everything I can to buy you time to escape!"

His eyes were firm and resolute, with no intention of retreating. He knew very well that the situation was extremely critical at this moment, and if he couldn't get others evacuated safely as soon as possible, the consequences would be disastrous.

"But, Immortal!"

Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East China Sea, looked at Li Chen anxiously. His bright eyes were full of worry. He eagerly tried to persuade Li Chen to leave with them quickly.

Because the Rain Ancestral Witch's power was truly too formidable, it was terrifying. The goal of this operation had already been achieved. If they didn't leave now, when would they? Staying any longer would only increase the danger. Therefore, they had to retreat quickly, racing against time!

"Now, don't worry about me, hurry up and run for your lives!" Li Chen shouted at them without hesitation, his voice as loud as a bell and deafening.

At this moment, suddenly, a beautiful figure appeared beside Li Chen as fast as a flash of lightning. Li Chen looked closely and was shocked. This figure turned out to be Ao Xue!

"Li Chen, I want to fight alongside you!"

Ao Xue stared at Li Chen with her beautiful eyes, a determined light flashing in her eyes, and she said in a decisive tone.

That pretty face looked particularly resolute at this moment, as if nothing could shake her determination, indicating that she would stand by Li Chen through thick and thin, regardless of life or death.

"Be careful!" Li Chen suddenly shouted, then with lightning speed, he pounced on Ao Xue, pinning her to the ground. They both lost their balance and rolled several times on the ground, raising a cloud of dust. And on the ground where Ao Xue had stood, rows of sharp bone spurs stood out.

"Aoxue, I'm sorry!"

Li Chen knocked Ao Xue unconscious with his hand knife, and then handed the unconscious Ao Xue over to the East China Sea Dragon King and his group.

"What are you still doing standing here? Hurry up and run!"

Li Chen spoke to the people behind him. After receiving Li Chen's order, everyone ran rapidly towards the direction of Huaguo Mountain.

"Boy, if you die, they won't be able to survive for long!"

Xuanming, the Ancestral Wu of Rain, stood there, laughing unbridled, his laughter reverberating throughout the entire space, deafening. His eyes were filled with contempt and disdain, as if he didn't even take Li Chen in front of him seriously, as if Li Chen was just an insignificant ant that could be easily crushed to death.

"Hmph, Xuanming, Ancestral Witch of the Rain, why don't you take a guess? Were the six previous Ancestral Witches as arrogant and conceited as you are now? What a pity, they all ended up being defeated by me! I hope you won't let me down too much!"

Li Chen's face was as gloomy as water, and he showed no fear at all. He snorted coldly, and quickly formed seals with his hands. Then, a stick shining with a mysterious light appeared in his hands.

Instantly, an incomparably powerful aura erupted from Li Chen's body. He rushed towards the Rain Ancestral Witch with unstoppable momentum, like a burning flame. At the same time, he whispered, "Wood Demon Dance!"

With this low shout, the stick in Li Chen's hand changed instantly, and in the blink of an eye it turned into an astonishingly powerful demon-subduing staff. At this moment, Li Chen did not hesitate to continuously inject his own powerful strength into the demon-subduing staff.

The next moment, Li Chen swung his arm, and the magic staff shot out like an arrow, charging straight towards the Rain Witch. The staff spun rapidly in the air, creating a sharp gust of wind. The sharp blade on its front flashed a chilling light as it stabbed towards Xuanming with lightning speed!

Seeing that the magic staff was about to hit him, Xuanming, the ancestor of rain, roared calmly, "What a trifle!"

Before he finished speaking, Xuanming suddenly opened his mouth and ejected extremely sharp bone spurs. These bone spurs shot out at lightning speed, heading straight for the menacing demon-subduing staff.

In a split second, the two collided in mid-air. Sparks flew everywhere, and the immense force of the impact caused a violent ripple in the surrounding air. With a deafening roar, a violent explosion erupted.

Li Chen was knocked back repeatedly by the powerful impact, each step back seeming to exhaust all his strength. After retreating several steps, he finally managed to stabilize his body and offset the huge buffering force brought by the explosion.

When he looked at the Rain Ancestral Witch again, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He saw that the Rain Ancestral Witch had stood firmly in the same place the entire time, not even moving a step. Clearly, the Ancestral Witch's powerful physique, inherited from the ancient demon god, had played a significant role, helping him to withstand most of the damage.

"Hahahahahaha! Boy, prepare to die!" A burst of wild laughter was heard. The face of Xuanming, the ancestor of rain, was ferocious. As he waved his hands, the ground suddenly shook violently.

Immediately afterwards, countless rows of extremely sharp, chilling ice spikes burst out of the ground, rushing towards Li Chen like a surging wave. The tips of those ice spikes flashed a cold blue light, making people feel creepy at the mere sight of them.

"How is this possible?! The Rain Ancestral Witch can actually use the power of ice!!!" Li Chen's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. Before this, he had never imagined that the Rain Ancestral Witch could actually control such terrifying ice power.

At this moment, the system's prompt sounded in his mind: "Xuan Ming is not only the ancestor of rain, but also the ancestor of ice!" This voice was like a flash of lightning across the night sky, instantly answering the confusion deep in Li Chen's heart.

It turns out that this mysterious ancestor of rain, Xuanming, can not only control the power of "rain", but his use of "ice" is also perfect.
