Chapter 147: Whirlpool, Dark River

  So many demons gathered and surrounded Yichen, such a scene was really terrifying.

  But those monsters did not launch an attack, instead they quietly stayed in place, looking up at the token on top of Yi Chen's head.

  "Hum." The token emitted a growing radiance, the characters that had been inscribed on it before expanding in size as well. Yi Chen could sense an inexplicable pressure emanating from it.

  "What's going on, are those magical beasts afraid of this token?" Yi Chen's eyes flashed with confusion, he tried several times and found that the magical beasts did not choose to attack, as if they were in awe of something.

  "What is this thing that makes these demonic beasts so fearful?" After confirming the thoughts in his mind, Yi Chen looked up at the token on his forehead.

  At first, when he picked it up in the cemetery, he didn't notice anything special about this token, so he put it in his storage ring and almost forgot its existence, but today it saved his life.

  Although it can't be investigated what use this token has, the scene in front of us can prove that this token is absolutely not an ordinary object.

  "It seems that I really picked up a treasure in the cave that day." Yi Chen withdrew his gaze and didn't think much about it. What's most important now is to leave this place.

  The Death Domain is too terrifying, and there are actually so many sixth-level magical beasts existing here. Fortunately, they all quietly stay in this place; otherwise, the Yuan Xuan Empire would probably be destroyed by them.

  His body flashed and swam to the top of the token, Yi Chen wanted to stretch out his hand to grab the token, but just as his hand touched it, a strange energy shook his hand open.

  "What's going on?" Feeling a numbness spreading through his arm, Yi Chen stared blankly at the Holy Spirit Token.

  Still unwilling to give up, Yi Chen tried a few more times, but in the end it was all the same, his hand was repelled by an invisible force.

  "A piece of token actually has such a wonderful energy." Yi Chen's face showed a look of surprise, he sensed the beast soul and found that the soul power was decreasing at an extremely fast speed.

  Soul power can separate water, allowing Yi Chen to breathe freely in the water. If his soul power is exhausted, even if no magic beast attacks him, he will still die from lack of oxygen.

  "It can't be exhausted." He looked up at the Holy Spirit Order and made another move, but still couldn't shake it.

  After several attempts, Yi Chen directly chose to give up and swam away with all his might.

  Just as he was about to leave the Holy Spirit Order, those demonic beasts suddenly launched an attack on Yi Chen, and in a state of shock, he had no choice but to return to the side of the Holy Spirit Order once again.

  After several attempts, Yi Chen discovered that as long as he left the Holy Spirit Order, the demonic beasts would launch an attack. What they feared was the pressure of the Holy Spirit Order.

  "Is it really just going to be trapped here?" Yi Chen sighed, not expecting a bad start, and was already in a desperate situation as soon as he left the Yuan Xuan Empire.

  "There are so many demons here, why aren't they recorded in the data of this world?" Yi Chen's gaze wandered over the countless demons, and he couldn't help but feel astonished.

  When he first came to Longyuan Continent, he had been browsing some historical records all along, but he hadn't found any record of the Death Domain.

  "Could it be that someone deliberately erased the records of the Death Domain, not wanting people to know its secrets?" Yi Chen muttered.

  There is such a terrifying monster here, if it gets out, it will definitely cause a huge shock.

  Why the death domain was not recorded, these easy days did not know, and now he is more concerned about whether he can safely leave here.

  "You think I won't be able to move you no matter how hard I try." He refocused his gaze on the Holy Spirit Order, and Yi Chen continuously urged on his soul power, crazily condensing it between his hands before grabbing at the Holy Spirit Order.

  "Hum" shook again, and Yi Chen's hands grasped the Holy Spirit Order tightly, refusing to let go. He continued to urge his soul power, trying to pull the Holy Spirit Order away.

  No matter how hard Yi Chen tried, the Holy Spirit Command was unmoving, and the light it emitted grew even stronger, its pressure increasing.

  "Roar!" The demonic beasts that had gathered in this direction, feeling the terrifying majesty, all let out uneasy long hisses, as if they were afraid of something.

  "Get out of my way!" Yi Chen gritted his teeth, the veins on his arms bulging as he let out a loud roar.

  "Hum." The holy spirit block went into a frenzied tremble, releasing an increasingly intense radiance that shone like a small sun.

  That oppressive feeling grew stronger and stronger, Easy's forehead broke out in sweat, he felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe.

  "What a terrifying majesty, probably not much worse than the Mystic Realm." Yi Chen's heart was shocked, but he didn't give up and continued to pull the token.

  Those monsters became more restless, some swam to the shore and rushed out of the river water, but soon after reaching the shore, they were pulled back by an invisible force.

  This phenomenon is very strange, as if there is an invisible ban. Those demons cannot leave the Death Domain too far away, otherwise they will be pulled back by a force of energy.

  "How strange, are these demons all trapped here by humans?" Yi Chen had been paying attention to the demons' situation, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

  This phenomenon has proven his conjecture, these demons must have been forcibly trapped here.

  "What kind of person is this, who has such great ability, and what means did they use to forcibly suppress these magical beasts here." Yi Chen felt extremely shocked.

  "Hiss" could not be contained, and suddenly the already turbulent river water began to churn up, two hundred meters away from Yi Chen, a black whirlpool was forming.

  "Roar!" The demonic beasts became increasingly restless, swimming forward one after another, moving away from the whirlpool and eventually disappearing from Yi Chen's line of sight.

  The demons have all left, which made Yi Chen's heart feel a little more at ease. Now, even without the Holy Spirit, he could still leave safely.

  A whirlpool hundreds of meters behind him grew larger and larger, emitting a powerful suction force that pulled everything around it in.

  "We have to leave here quickly." The suction force was still gradually increasing, which made Yi Chen extremely apprehensive, fearing being sucked in.

  "I can only give up on the Holy Spirit Order." With a reluctant gaze at the Holy Spirit Order, Yi Chen thought of his life and let go, wanting to leave.

  Just as he was about to let go, he suddenly discovered that his hands seemed to be sucked in by the Holy Spirit's command and couldn't be pulled out.

  "Isn't this bad luck?" Unexpectedly, another sudden situation arose, and Yi Chen felt a sense of powerlessness rising in his heart.

  "Damn it!" What a disaster! Yi Chen couldn't help but blurt out a curse, this situation was driving him crazy.

  "Whoosh" The whirlpool's suction force grew stronger, completely enveloping Yi Chen. Unfortunately, at that instant, the Holy Spirit Command suddenly retracted all its radiance, reverting to its original ordinary appearance.

  "Is this not a game for me?" The light faded, the Holy Spirit Command was no longer stable, and Yi Chen grabbed the Holy Spirit Command as he was sucked into that vortex.

  The stirring speed was extremely fast, Yi Chen felt dizzy and the surrounding environment was very dark, he could only use his instincts to wrap himself in soul power.

  In such an environment, it was unknown how long it had been, and Yi Chen also fainted.

  ……

  "Drip!" The sound of dripping water continued to echo in his ears, and Yi Chen opened his eyes after an unknown period of unconsciousness.

  "Where is this?" In front of him was a blur, and when Yi Chen could clearly see his surroundings, he quickly got up and looked around with vigilant eyes.

  It looks like a dried-up dark river here, with things that look like stalactites hanging from the top of the cave, constantly dripping water.

  "How did I end up here?" Yi Chen was extremely surprised, if he hadn't misremembered, after being sucked into the whirlpool, when he woke up, he should have appeared in this godforsaken place.

  Instinctively vigilant, Yi Chen looked around and only felt at ease after discovering there was no danger.

  He took two deep breaths and checked his body. He found that there were no injuries, only the soul power contained in the beast soul was depleted.

  In an unfamiliar environment, Yi Chen was extremely vigilant, sitting cross-legged on the ground, his fingers moving in a specific pattern as he began to circulate his Xuanhun Technique, absorbing soul energy.

  "This" dry and withered dark river, the soul power contained in it is more intense than the outside world. Yi Chen absorbs it at an extremely fast speed, and the soul power condenses into a thin mist around his body.

  Here, Yi Chen only used one hour, which was a full third shorter than the time he spent cultivating in the outside world.

  "Hiss" Waiting until the beast soul's contained soul power reached its limit, Yi Chen then cut off the spell, and those soul powers dissipated like a receding tide.

  He spat out a mouthful of turbid air, and Yi Chen stood up, feeling the abundant soul power in the beast's soul, and exclaimed: "The soul power here is more than twice as rich as that outside. If I cultivate here, it will definitely be twice the result with half the effort."

  However. Yi Chen's current cultivation has already reached a bottleneck, and further practice cannot increase his cultivation by half a point, unless he quickly advances to the Yellow Soul Realm.

  "Hurry up and find a way out of this place, leave this haunted place behind, head to the Eastern Snow Plains, and search for the Snow Crystal Spirit Stone." A determined look appeared on Yi Chen's face.

  "A pure energy fluctuation." Suddenly, Yi Chen's keen spiritual sense captured a strange fluctuation, and that energy fluctuation was actually coming from above his head.

  Looking up, Yi Chen found the source of the fluctuation, which was those stone strips that looked like stalactites.

  And through induction, Yichan discovered that the reason why the soul power here is so abundant is that those stone strips have attracted it.

  "What are these things?" Yi Chen's face showed a look of surprise, and then he carefully sensed them, discovering that the stone strips were absorbing the heavenly soul power, and inside, he could clearly see strands of energy moving about.

  This discovery shocked Yi Chen extremely, a stone that could absorb the power of heaven and earth, currently only Soul Spirit Stone had such ability, this was also his first time seeing such a stone.

  "Could this be a Spirit Stone?" After a careful examination, Yi Chen's face gradually turned from surprise to astonishment. A stone that could absorb soul power was no ordinary object.
