Chapter 205 - 205 181: Chen Sheng Seems Close to Death
“Heh—”
Chen Sheng’s brows were furrowed, standing in the center, his chest rapidly heaving up and down.
He gasped for air, and the hot breath he exhaled was quickly dispersed by the falling rain around him.
At this moment—
Chen Sheng felt every cell in his body sending unbearable signals to his brain continuously.
Even with the energy supplied by the medicine, the duration of his third stage Xuanwu Transformation had significantly increased.
But now—
He was nearing his limit.
If it were an ordinary situation, Chen Sheng would choose to exit the Xuanwu Transformation immediately and have Shen Ziming or Xiao Hei take him away.
However—
It was not possible now.
Chen Sheng’s face was rather stern.
He slowly raised his head.
His eyes pierced through the layers of rain and looked into the gloomy sky.
The dark clouds above his head still hadn’t dispersed until now.
And—
The faint flashes of lightning within the dark clouds were getting more blinding as time went by.
The dull roar in his ears kept ringing, making Chen Sheng’s eardrums tremble.
Such an anomaly appeared in the sky—
It was because Chen Sheng’s Thunder Breath had not yet fully upgraded.
Chen Sheng felt quite relieved.
The process of the Thunder Breath’s upgrade didn’t just make people lose consciousness, like the previous two layers of Xuanwu Zhenwu.
Instead, it used thunder to continuously strengthen the body of the cultivator and infuse the power of thunder into their body.
This was a gradual enhancement process.
But Chen Sheng’s panel condensed a large amount of cultivation process within a very short time.
Therefore—
For every upgrade, Chen Sheng not only needed a large amount of energy to be supplied.
He usually had to endure excruciating pain from intense bodily transformations.
And the energy brought by the medicine had almost run out during the long-lasting Xuanwu Transformation.
Once Chen Sheng exits the Xuanwu Transformation, his body will be in an extremely weak state.
He was unsure whether his current extremely weak body could handle the subsequent upgrade process of the Thunder Breath.
But—
There was no other choice at this point.
He had to grit his teeth and endure even if he couldn’t.
“Huff—”
Thinking about it, Chen Sheng sighed deeply.
Underneath his skin, his muscles wriggled like living creatures, emitting waves of tooth-aching friction sounds.
Gradually—
Chen Sheng’s body shrank continuously.
From a muscle-armored giant more than three meters tall, he gradually reverted to his usual height.
Splash!
As soon as he returned to his normal state, an overwhelming sense of weakness swept through his body like a tidal wave.
His head was even spinning, making him feel like he was about to pass out.
No way.
Chen Sheng shook his head vigorously.
If he fell asleep now, there was no telling what would happen.
Even if the Respected Elder and Zhao Zhenfeng were dead—
Chen Sheng hadn’t forgotten that people from the Holy Sect also entered the Sealed Land together with them.
He had to stay awake to deal with any emergencies that might arise.
Step.
Just at this moment—
The sound of footsteps echoed not too far away.
“Chen Sheng, are you all right?”
The anxious voice of Shen Ziming penetrated the rain curtain and entered Chen Sheng’s ears.
Chen Sheng looked up weakly.
Vaguely, he could see a shadow approaching him.
“Back off!”
He cried out instinctively.
Lightning could strike at any moment now.
With Shen Ziming’s small stature, if he was touched by the lightning, he could be turned into charcoal.
Moreover—
With the heavy rain pouring down—
By now, the water in the long pit had covered the ground.
Once the lightning struck, Shen Ziming wouldn’t be able to run away.
“Xiao Hei, protect him.”
As his words fell—
Perhaps responding to Chen Sheng’s concern—
The sky suddenly erupted with a blinding white light.
Boom!!
The thick lightning instantly tore through the air and fell directly on Chen Sheng.
A massive electric current surged into his body, covering every muscle and nerve in his body.
“Eh—”
Chen Sheng’s eyes turned red in an instant, and he let out a beast-like roar.
Aroma like roasted meat emanated from his body.
Crash—
Chen Sheng’s body fell to the ground, splashing water everywhere.
Lying in the water on the ground, his body convulsed continuously, seemingly suffering from indescribable pain.
Swipe!
Not too far away—
Xiao Hei made a decisive move, transforming into a mass of black liquid to cover Shen Ziming’s entire body.
“Delicious!!”
Xiao Hei was extremely excited.
In the past—
His master’s cultivation often caused heavenly phenomena.
At such times, Xiao Hei could feast heartily.
However—
After his master’s death, he didn’t know how long it had been since he tasted this flavor.
As for the electric current affecting that neighboring hybrid?
That was an impossible thing.
He must not waste good food!
Thinking about it—
The black liquid transformed by Xiao Hei wriggled continuously.
Those currents that dispersed from Chen Sheng’s body and into their surroundings were swallowed by him one after another.
