I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

"Hahahahahaha! Li Chen, how powerful is this attack? It's much more delicious than the delicacies you had at the banquet in Heaven!" Xuanming, the ancestor of rain, laughed wildly with smugness on his face, as if he had already seen Li Chen reduced to ashes under their powerful attack.

The other Ancestral Shamans joined Xuanming's jeers, releasing deafening, sinister laughs. Their laughter echoed throughout the space, seemingly wiping out Li Chen's existence. In their eyes, once Li Chen was dead, his followers would naturally be nothing to fear. Once they had slain them, the Twelve Ancestral Shamans could rest easy!

However, just when they thought Li Chen was doomed, an unexpected voice suddenly came from behind them.

"Hahahahaha! It tastes really good. You are really capable to be able to destroy one of my clones, but the real battle has just begun!"

This was Li Chen's voice, full of pride and boldness. His laughter was like thunder, exploding in the ears of the twelve ancestral witches, leaving them stunned.

What shocked them even more was that, along with Li Chen's laughter, more identical laughter came from behind them. These laughters rose and fell, intertwined together, forming a sea of ​​laughter.

The twelve Ancestral Shamans looked at each other in bewilderment, unable to comprehend what was happening. Li Chen had clearly been struck by their attacks, so how could he still laugh at them so easily? Furthermore, the laughter echoed exactly like Li Chen's voice, as if countless Li Chens were laughing at them simultaneously from behind them.

The twelve ancient witches turned around in disbelief, their faces filled with astonishment. Behind them stood hundreds of thousands of Li Chens, each clutching a pitch-black stick that shone with a strange light, staring at them with cold eyes.

"Li Chen, you...how is this possible? When did you escape from our encirclement?" Zhu Jiuyin, the ancestor of time, widened his eyes and asked suspiciously. The other ancestor witches also showed shocked expressions on their faces. Obviously, they were very surprised that Li Chen was able to escape the encirclement.

Facing the questioning of the twelve Ancestral Witches, Li Chen's lips curled up slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile. He said slowly, "The answer is actually very simple. I know very well that you are outnumbered. If I get entangled in a fight with any of you Ancestral Witches, the others will definitely take the opportunity to launch an attack together. In this way, I will inevitably fall into an extremely passive situation."

He paused, then continued: "So, I did not choose to confront you head-on, but cleverly took advantage of your weaknesses." At this point, Li Chen's smile became more playful, as if he was mocking the stupidity of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

"Thinking of this, when I was dodging your attack just now, I cleverly used my 'External Body Technique' to instantly transform into a fake body identical to me, thereby confusing your vision and judgment. And when you think you have successfully killed me, I will suddenly appear like a ghost and give you a sudden and fierce attack that will catch you off guard!"

Hundreds upon hundreds of millions of Li Chens mocked in unison, their voices echoing through the void like thunder, tinged with a hint of mockery and disdain. At the same time, they raised their sticks in unison, like a well-trained army, and charged with overwhelming force at the Twelve Ancestral Witches, who were surrounded by them.

Li Chen's figures moved as fast as lightning, their speed dazzling people. In the blink of an eye, they had rushed in front of the Twelve Ancestral Witches. The Twelve Ancestral Witches obviously did not expect Li Chen to have such a strange tactic. Faced with this sudden attack, they were suddenly caught off guard and could only respond hastily.

"Ban—Sky Flame Burning Demon!"

At this moment, the Li Chens, who were besieging the Wu Rushou, the Ancestor of Gold, suddenly unleashed a tumultuous roar. This roar was like a volcanic eruption, deafening and threatening to tear the entire world apart. With this roar, the fiery red light that had already been blazing within them suddenly flared up, like a dazzling sun, tinting the surrounding space a fiery crimson.

Immediately afterwards, a shocking scene took place - the bodies of Li Chen began to burn, and raging flames gushed out from their bodies, instantly enveloping them in a sea of ​​fire.

Surprisingly, however, the blazing flames had no effect on them, as if they were merely illusions. Like lightning, they rushed straight towards Wu Rushou, the Ancestor of Gold, at astonishing speed. From afar, the scene resembled countless flaming meteorites streaking across the night sky, a majestic and terrifying sight.

"Come and save me!"

The screams of Wu Rushou, the Ancestor of Gold, resounded through the heavens, his voice filled with agony and despair. Li Chen was engulfed in blazing flames, precisely the very flames that had been designed to counter his Zhurong True Fire. Like hungry tigers pouncing on their prey, they clung to Wu Rushou, the Ancestor of Gold, and continuously poured their terrifying, all-consuming heat into him.

The other Ancestral Witches naturally heard the cry for help from Rushou, the Ancestral Witch of Gold, but at the moment they were also preoccupied with their own affairs. The Li Chens and others that Ju Mang, the Ancestral Witch of Wood, faced unexpectedly combined the power of Rushou, the Ancestral Witch of Gold, to launch an attack, putting Ju Mang, the Ancestral Witch of Wood, in an extremely passive position.

He knew very well that the power of Wu Rushou, the ancestor of gold, had a huge inhibitory effect on his own recovery power, so he could only keep dodging left and right to avoid the fierce attacks of Li Chen and others who were holding saw wheels and chasing him relentlessly.

Gonggong, the Water Ancestral Shaman, confronted Li Chen and his companions, unleashing the power of the Earth Ancestral Shaman to summon countless massive meteorites to launch a fierce attack on her. Whether she used her mana to summon water columns or the icy swords formed from Xuanming True Water, they were unable to destroy the massive meteorites summoned by Li Chen and his companions! She could only allow the meteorites to bombard her mercilessly!

Not to mention Zhurong, the Ancestral Shaman of Fire, whose True Fire was completely suppressed by Li Chen's Xuanming True Water, Li Chen left the Ancestral Shaman of Fire powerless. Even the meteorites summoned by Hou Tu, the Ancestral Shaman of Earth, were effortlessly dispelled by Li Chen, using the power of Ju Mang, the Ancestral Shaman of Wood! Li Chen flexibly utilized the interdependent forces of the Five Elements to defeat the five great Ancestral Shamans without a fight back!

As for the wind, rain, thunder, lightning, weather, space, and time, these ancestor witches do not have the same obvious attribute restraints as the five great ancestor witches. Li Chen can only use his own powerful strength to defeat them.
