Chapter 160: “Black Hole” Plan, Chen Changsheng Clashes with the Underworld Forest
“Zi~”
The sizzling sound of meat being roasted by fierce flames filled the air, with an enticing aroma spreading for tens of feet.
Seeing that the roast was almost done, a small tree suddenly grew beside Chen Changsheng.
On this tree, three crystal-clear fruits grew at a visible speed.
Just by smelling them, one could feel their vitality surge, clearly indicating that these were rare nourishing items.
However, facing these three fruits, Chen Changsheng didn’t even look at them and directly stomped them into pieces after picking them.
“It’s too late; late-coming affection is worth less than grass. I don’t plan on forgiving you now.”
“We’ll continue clashing; whoever backs down is a dog!”
After saying this, Chen Changsheng began to devour the roasted meat in large bites.
Seeing his good intentions rejected by Chen Changsheng, the Underworld Forest didn’t take any further actions.
It seemed as if man and forest were once again at odds with each other.
Half an hour later, Chen Changsheng finished his dinner for today.
Looking at the remaining bones, Chen Changsheng didn’t hesitate and put them away directly into his storage space.
After finishing the aftermath, Chen Changsheng lay on the dead leaves and gazed at the sky without the sun.
Before falling asleep, he had spent eighty years pondering the weaknesses of the Underworld Forest.
After countless deductions, he found that the Underworld Forest was nearly invincible.
Everything here could regenerate, even if he destroyed the entire forest.
In an instant, everything would return to its original state.
Moreover, the spirits and plants here would continuously evolve based on battles, so theoretically, anyone who entered would be trapped to d*ath.
But this seemingly perfect “prison” made Chen Changsheng feel doubtful.
Was everything in the Underworld Forest truly infinitely regenerative?
After having this doubt, Chen Changsheng didn’t act immediately to destroy it, because this issue might not be the true weakness of the Underworld Forest.
Tianjizi had been trapped in the Underworld Forest for a thousand years; he should have had similar thoughts.
However, Tianjizi never left the Underworld Forest even after his d*ath, clearly indicating that this hypothesis wasn’t complete.
Facing such confusion, Chen Changsheng couldn’t find a solution.
Until one day, when he looked at the sky without the sun, a sudden idea solved his doubts.
That was that the Underworld Forest was actually a sealed space.
The energy within this space was conserved, allowing beasts and plants to regenerate endlessly.
No matter how many beasts he killed or trees he cut down, as long as the bodies remained in this space, the total energy of the space wouldn’t change.
To break this energy cycle, there was only one method: becoming a black hole and greedily consuming the energy of the Underworld Forest.
Tianjizi couldn’t implement this method because his storage space was limited and couldn’t hold much.
Additionally, although Tianjizi’s cultivation was high, his capacity was also limited.
Considering the scale of the Underworld Forest, the energy Tianjizi absorbed was negligible, and once he died, it would all return.
But Chen Changsheng was different from Tianjizi; he possessed an infinite storage space.
Furthermore, Chen Changsheng’s cultivation body was stronger than Tianjizi’s.
The only drawback of “cultivating the body” was the enormous consumption of cultivation resources.
To make rapid progress in cultivation, supplementation was the fastest and most convenient method.
Now that Chen Changsheng had reached the threshold of the seventh realm, to fully cultivate the seventh realm, the resources required would be astronomical.
The beasts in the Underworld Forest could perfectly make up for this.
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng got up from the ground and started the “Black Hole” mission again.
This time, before cutting down the trees, Chen Changsheng provocatively glanced at the distance and said:
“Still the same, if you regret it, teleport me to the central area.”
“Otherwise, I will clash with you to the end.”
—
Another four hundred years passed. With the passage of time and extensive supplementation, Chen Changsheng’s cultivation also increased.
As his cultivation improved, Chen Changsheng’s speed in chopping trees and hunting beasts also increased significantly.
It was during this first two-thousandth year that the Underworld Forest finally couldn’t bear it anymore.
Although the energy stolen by this human wasn’t much, it was relentless.
If this continued, even the highest mountains would eventually be hollowed out.
Thus, in this year, the Underworld Forest launched a massacre against Chen Changsheng.
Two powerful Eighth Realm beasts were born, and countless beasts in the forest joined in.
Facing the retaliation of the Underworld Forest, Chen Changsheng didn’t retreat at all, choosing to confront head-on.
Although the two Eighth Realm beasts were stronger than Chen Changsheng, they couldn’t deal a fatal blow.
After all, Chen Changsheng’s over two thousand points of defense weren’t something to be trifled with.
Since the Eighth Realm beasts couldn’t instantly k*ll Chen Changsheng, it meant he had time to breathe.
With breathing room, Chen Changsheng could continuously repair his body using the golden silkworm silk inside him.
Furthermore, the cultivation system Chen Changsheng created was a harmonious blend of essence, energy, and spirit.
Such a cultivation system excelled in endurance, toughness, and healing capabilities.
Without reaching the seventh realm, there might be excessive consumption.
But after reaching the seventh realm, there wouldn’t be such issues.
The sixth realm and above were created precisely to address this weakness.
—
This battle was exceptionally intense, with half of the Underworld Forest destroyed.
One person couldn’t withstand the attacks of two Eighth Realm beasts and countless other beasts.
But Chen Changsheng wasn’t fighting alone; he had a “Big Fat Caterpillar”!
The Golden Silkworm Bug fed on ferocious beasts, and Chen Changsheng always considered it his trump card, intended for this decisive battle.
If the two Eighth Realm beasts attacked Chen Changsheng together, they could indeed make him jump around, but the Golden Silkworm Bug had no restrictions.
Beasts below the Eighth Realm had no chance against the Golden Silkworm Bug.
And once any beast was killed by the Golden Silkworm Bug, Chen Changsheng would immediately collect the corpse, leaving no chance for the Underworld Forest to recover.
But if the Underworld Forest sent another Eighth Realm beast to restrict the Golden Silkworm Bug, Chen Changsheng’s pressure would decrease significantly.
Though Chen Changsheng’s realm was slightly weaker than the Eighth Realm beasts, his self-healing speed was fast, and he had various methods at his disposal.
In a hard-fought battle, Chen Changsheng could potentially trade injuries for lives, killing an Eighth Realm beast.
In this tense situation, both sides fought for sixty years.
At the sixtieth year, Chen Changsheng seized an opportunity, and three beams of golden light shot out, severing the head of one of the Eighth Realm beasts.
The cost was that Chen Changsheng’s abdomen was pierced, and his neck was severed by two-thirds.
“Whoosh!”
The corpse of the Eighth Realm beast was collected, and Chen Changsheng tightly pressed his hand against his head, then began to flee frantically.
Seeing the corpse of the Eighth Realm beast being collected, the entire Underworld Forest boiled over.
The energy contained in the Eighth Realm beast was massive; losing so much at once was painful even for the Underworld Forest.
All the beasts chased after Chen Changsheng, but the other Eighth Realm beast was entangled by the Golden Silkworm Bug, preventing them from killing Chen Changsheng.
This chase lasted for an entire hour. An hour later, Chen Changsheng stopped running.
The golden silkworm silk had already helped Chen Changsheng heal the lethal injuries.
Slowly turning around, Chen Changsheng revealed a radiant smile.
“Now it’s my turn to chase you!”
