I'm Dreaming of a Journey to the West

Chapter 404: Spiritual refinement of the body, demonic attack.

"You are right. The power of the Ancestral Witch is indeed extremely strong, but so what? I, Nezha, will never be content with this! I will become even more powerful, so powerful that no one can defeat me!"

Nezha roared with resentment on his face, and at the same time, he clenched his right fist and smashed it hard on the ground. With a loud "bang", a large white pit instantly appeared on the snow-covered ground.

Li Chen stood by, watching all this unfold silently, inwardly sighing: This ancient witch's power is truly extraordinary; even the usually arrogant Nezha values ​​it so highly. However, he had a point. As a great deity of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, how could Nezha willingly accept being inferior to others? Watching those demons and monsters run rampant in the world, doing whatever they wanted, while he was powerless to stop them, must have been a bitter pill in his throat.

Thinking of this, Li Chen stepped forward and said to Nezha, "Brother Nezha, to be honest, I possess the power of nine ancient witch spirits within me. Perhaps they can help you and enhance your combat effectiveness. I wonder if you would be willing to try and let me use the ancient witch spirits to temper your physique?"

Despite these words, Li Chen remained uncertain, knowing full well that Nezha's body was unlike any other. He had been driven to death by the Four Sea Dragon Kings, then had his bones cut off to repay his father and his flesh to repay his mother. Fortunately, his master, Taiyi Zhenren, used a lotus to reshape his body, allowing him to be reborn. Whether such a unique body could withstand the power of the Ancestral Witch's spirit was uncertain.

"The power of the Ancestral Witch's spirit?!!!"

Upon hearing this, Nezha trembled as if struck by lightning, instantly leaping several feet high. Landing firmly on his feet, he stared at Li Chen in astonishment. His eyes widened, and he exclaimed in disbelief, "You said you possess the power of the Ancestral Witch's spirit within you? That's the powerful force contained in the blood and essence of the ancient god Pangu!"

In Nezha's heart, the power of the Ancestral Witches' spirits is considered the strongest and most powerful in the world. Back then, when the great god Pangu created the world, his body disintegrated, and his essence and blood transformed into the Twelve Ancestral Witches. Each of these twelve possessed magical powers, commanding the most violent and brutal forces in the universe.

From ancient times to the present, no one has ever been able to successfully absorb the power of these ancient witch spirits and use it for their own benefit, because this power is too strong, and if one is not careful it will backfire on the body, causing the person to be shattered into pieces and their soul to be scattered.

"Brother Li Chen, don't talk nonsense! You actually said that you have the spirits of nine ancient witches in your body? You must know that the twelve ancient witches were transformed from the essence and blood of the great god Pangu, and each of them contains the power to destroy the world. How can a mortal body withstand such terrifying power? If your body cannot withstand their ravages, you will explode and die!" Nezha was anxious, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. He knew very well the danger of this power, and it was definitely not a taboo that ordinary people could touch.

Yet, in the face of Nezha's worry and warning, Li Chen simply smiled, appearing unfazed. He slowly raised his hands, muttering a spell, and instantly, a powerful aura emanated from him. It surged like a raging sea, tinged with a heart-pounding aura of the ancient world.

Immediately afterwards, Li Chen's figure flashed, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air like a ghost. Sometimes he lashed out with punches, creating bursts of thunder and lightning; sometimes he unleashed a flurry of kicks, sending waves of surging air surging. In the blink of an eye, he had unleashed dozens of exquisite moves, each imbued with boundless power, as if capable of ripping through the very void and shattering mountains and rivers.

Nezha stared at the scene in astonishment, his heart filled with shock beyond measure. He had never imagined that Li Chen had not only truly mastered the power of the Ancestral Witch's spirit, but also wielded it with such skill and ease, sending and receiving it at will. At this moment, Li Chen was like a god of war descended to the mortal world, his every move emanating an unparalleled aura of majesty.

"I didn't expect you to possess such power. If so, then give it a try!"

Nezha was completely conquered by Li Chen. He had never thought that there would be someone in the world who could absorb this tyrannical force and use it for himself. If he asked Li Chen for help, perhaps he could really use his own body to control the power of the Ancestral Witch.

"Okay! Here we go!"

Li Chen began to infuse Nezha with the gentlest power of the Water Ancestral Witch and the Wood Ancestral Witch's spirit. These two powers, wood and water, were most suitable for Nezha's lotus-like physique. He would first use these two powers to strengthen Nezha's body, and then allow him to slowly absorb the remaining Ancestral Witch spirits.

"How's it going, Nezha?"

Li Chen asked. When inputting the power of the Ancestral Witch's spirit, Li Chen always paid attention to Nezha's condition. Once there was something wrong, he would immediately absorb the power of the Ancestral Witch's spirit from Nezha's body to prevent it from harming Nezha's body.

"Very comfortable! I can feel my strength increasing!"

Nezha first closed his eyes and felt his own condition. He could feel that his physical strength had become more resilient and powerful. It seemed that Li Chen did not lie to him. Li Chen's control over the spirit of the ancestor witch was really superb!

At that moment, the previously peaceful snow house suddenly began to shake violently, as if struck by a powerful force. The shaking was so intense that it felt as if the entire earth was trembling, making it difficult to stand still. Everyone inside felt the terrifying tremor instantly, startled, and immediately realized that this was no ordinary phenomenon, but rather a powerful monster attacking from outside.

"Oh no, there must be a monster attacking!" someone exclaimed.

"Fairy Hibiscus, you guys hurry out to resist the attacks of these monsters, and never let them break into the snow house! I will stay and continue to help Nezha absorb the power of the Ancestral Witch's spirit!" Li Chen made a prompt decision and shouted loudly to the girls.

Upon hearing this, the women, without the slightest hesitation, quickly grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the house like arrows. However, the moment they stepped out of the snow house, the scene before them made them gasp.

Countless ice-feathered birds made of ice and snow were flying all over the sky. They soared freely in the sky, flashing cold light, and swooped down from time to time, attacking the women with their sharp beaks and claws.

In addition, there is a group of huge, muscular snow monsters. They take heavy steps, and each step makes the ground tremble slightly. They wave their thick arms and show amazing strength.

Faced with so many ferocious demons, the women were undaunted and bravely stepped forward, engaging in a fierce, life-or-death struggle. Blades clashed, shouts of killing echoed, and for a moment, blood splattered across the snow. The battle was incredibly brutal.

Inside the snow house, Li Chen was concentrating on Nezha's condition. Although he had heard of the legend of the Ancestral Witch's spirit, he didn't dare to be distracted at this moment.

He knew that the process of Nezha absorbing the power of the Ancestral Witch's spirit was crucial. Any mistake would not only ruin all his efforts, but could even put Nezha's life in danger. Therefore, he had to be extremely cautious, carefully observing every subtle change in Nezha's body to ensure that everything went smoothly.
