Chapter 767: Chapter 767: The Demon Beast Under the Heavenly Book Academy!

"Let’s go to the Abyss to take a look."

Chu Zhongtian suddenly said.

Lu Chen sighed and replied, "That was exactly my intention. Heading towards the Abyss will take us past the Heavenly Book Academy, but I wonder if it has met the same fate as these cities."

Lu Chen’s feelings towards the Heavenly Book Academy were complex.

No matter what, the Heavenly Book Academy was after all a place where he had once stayed.

Admittedly, the existence of the Heavenly Book Academy was primarily for figures like the academy head to pursue their own path to immortality.

However, for Lu Chen, at the very least, he had still benefited from the academy, such as receiving news about the opening of restrictions deep within the Abyss.

"Brother Lu Dao, if I remember correctly, you came out of the Heavenly Book Academy?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen’s words, Chu Zhongtian also reminisced and couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes," Lu Chen nodded and said, "At that time, I was still a martial artist. After leaving the Lu Family, I found refuge in the Heavenly Book Academy."

Lu Chen did not wish to delve further into the past.

The two men moved on silently, hardly exchanging a few words along the ten miles or so.

However, the Heavenly Book Academy no longer existed, leaving behind only ruins.

It was exactly like what he had seen at the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain with the Xuanji Sect.

"It looks like some cultivators must have lingered here, which attracted the ancient demonic beasts to invade," said Lu Chen, focusing his gaze. The martial artists who died here were no different from the cultivators of the Xuanji Sect.

"Shall we go directly to the Abyss?"

Chu Zhongtian remembered the way to the Abyss and candidly suggested.

"Let’s go."

Lu Chen nodded, but just as he spoke, the ground of the Heavenly Book Academy trembled abruptly!

Streams of Demon Qi, visible to the naked eye, surged forth from beneath the ruins!

"Brother Chu, be careful!"

Lu Chen stepped back twice, shielding Chu Zhongtian behind him.

But Chu Zhongtian summoned his Shadowless Gold Sword and floated it in front of him!

"Don’t act rashly," Lu Chen instructed, "Do not strike unless absolutely necessary. The nature of this demonic beast is unknown. I’ll go first, and when you find an opportunity, strike with the Shadowless Gold Sword!"

The grade of Chu Zhongtian’s Shadowless Gold Sword was not low. If he could nurture a Sword Spirit within it, it would also be a fine Spiritual Artifact!

Unfortunately, constrained by his own State of Mind, if Chu Zhongtian wanted to use the sword to enhance his strength, he could only do so by sacrificing his own essence blood, thereby transforming the Shadowless Gold Sword into a Shadowless Blood Sword!

"Brother Lu Dao, I’ll follow your lead!"

Chu Zhongtian quickly descended to the ground; floating midair would make him an easy target.

After landing, the Xuanming Ice Snake slithered out from his sleeve, flicking its tongue and hissing continuously.

At that moment,

the rubble from the ruins exploded!

Countless fragments shot towards Lu Chen like swift arrows!

Lu Chen snorted coldly and wielded his spear, using the Hateful Heaven Spear Technique!

Suddenly, the wind surged and the heavens and earth seemed to change color!

At the Nascent Soul Stage, the highest in the mortal realm, although Lu Chen had not reached the pinnacle, his body was full of Chaos Spirit Power, and with the Heavenly Inquiry Spear in hand, his strength was no lesser than an ordinary Nascent Soul!

Moreover, having fought consecutively against several Nascent Souls and ancient demonic beasts, his State of Mind was almost unrivalled!

"Silver Spear Like Rain!"

Faced with the Demonic Power-infused fragments rushing towards him, Lu Chen unhesitatingly pointed out with the Heavenly Inquiry Spear!

"Swish, swish, swish!"

The sound of breaking through the air followed as his spear swept out like a Demon Dragon, passing through countless streams of Demon Qi, forming tiny replicas of the Heavenly Inquiry Spear!

In front of Lu Chen, a thick mass of Demon Qi existed, and the similarly Demon Qi-imbued fragments were blasted into powder!

"Roar—"

From beneath the ruins, the demonic beast finally sensed something amiss. With a furious roar, soil flew everywhere, revealing its true form!

With a green face and fierce fangs, its body was as large as a tiger!

Lu Chen sneered, caught the beast off guard, retracted his spear, and then thrust it fiercely!

"Spear of the Demon Dragon!"

A phantom of a Demon Dragon soared out from the tip of his spear!

Until the Demon Dragon was fully formed, Lu Chen’s figure had already vanished from the spot!

The next moment, he appeared above the demonic beast’s head, the Heavenly Inquiry Spear already raised high!

"Great Roc Spreads Its Wings!"

Endless Demonic Power surged up the shaft of the spear and even started spreading over Lu Chen’s body, forming the phantom of a pair of Demon Wings on his back!

Yet Lu Chen, completely unaware, simply felt as if there was boundless energy in his body, and he slammed down fiercely!

The heavens and earth changed color!

The tremendous Demonic Power, as if to split heaven and earth!

The oppressive aura was so dense and solid, it completely restrained the demonic beast!

Half of its body was on the ground surface and the other half hadn’t managed to crawl out from beneath!
