Divine War Pill Emperor

Chapter 312: Chapter 310: The Path to Clearance

Jiang Chen was overjoyed to see the Ghost get knocked back.

He hadn’t expected a simple idea like this to actually work.

’The Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique came from the Ghost Temple, so it makes sense that it can restrain the Ghosts.’

THUD!

Another Ghost was repelled.

But in the next moment, Jiang Chen’s heart sank.

’This is bad. The Ghosts’ impacts are draining my Cultivation Power.’

He had made a horrifying discovery.

When a Ghost slammed into the tornado formed by his Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique, it would send a ripple through the whirlwind, disrupting its flow.

Although the force of a single Ghost’s impact was slight, if countless Ghosts attacked at once, Jiang Chen would face immense pressure.

His initial joy vanished without a trace.

His mood turned exceptionally grim.

"Jiang Chen, you’re blocking them! You’re really blocking them!"

"You’re amazing."

Zhan Yang and the others, unaware of the full situation, immediately gave Jiang Chen a thumbs-up.

Jiang Chen had the lowest Cultivation, but his various mystical abilities were simply dazzling.

"You’re celebrating too soon,"

Jiang Chen said, his voice cold, as he used the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique to keep the tornado spinning and moving forward.

What?

The four of them froze.

JinLing pressed, "Didn’t you block them?"

"What’s going on?"

They understood from Jiang Chen’s tone that the situation was not as good as it looked.

Jiang Chen gave a bitter smile. "I’m blocking them, yes, but their impacts are constantly draining my Cultivation."

"If my Cultivation Power runs out, we’ll become a feast for these Ghosts."

At that, the expressions of the four companions changed drastically.

Only then did they realize that although Jiang Chen was powerful, he was still limited by his Cultivation, and his Cultivation Power could be depleted.

"What do we do?"

"Are we really going to be eaten by these Ghosts?"

Niu Tuo’s mouth hung open in terror.

He was terrified that if Jiang Chen couldn’t hold on, he would become the Ghosts’ next meal.

"I’ll try to reach the passage as fast as I can. We’ll be safe as long as we make it there," Jiang Chen said, his expression taut.

He didn’t dare let his guard down for a second.

THUD!

Another Ghost slammed into Jiang Chen’s tornado.

It caused a slight ripple in the whirlwind.

That single impact still consumed a bit of Jiang Chen’s Cultivation Power.

He was going all out, drawing on the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi. Although he could absorb this Primordial Qi and convert it into his own Cultivation Power, his consumption rate was even greater.

On top of that, the constant impacts from the Ghosts were draining him further.

All of this made Jiang Chen’s expression exceptionally grave.

’Dammit, still twenty meters to go.’

He checked and saw that the passage was still about twenty meters away.

It wasn’t a long distance, but he had a feeling that crossing it would consume a massive amount of his Cultivation Power.

As a result, this short distance felt like an insurmountable chasm before him.

He would need to give it his all.

WOOOOoooo...

Although the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique could indeed restrain the Ghosts to some extent, they showed no fear of the tornado it created.

To the Ghosts, the five of them were a gourmet meal, and they weren’t about to give up so easily.

More and more Ghosts swarmed toward them.

They began to slam into the protective shield formed by the tornado.

THUD!

THUD!

A series of muffled thuds echoed out.

With each thud, Jiang Chen’s Cultivation Power weakened a little more.

’I have to push through,’ Jiang Chen thought, gritting his teeth.

’Fifteen meters left.’

He was moving quickly, but no matter how fast he went, the Ghosts’ attack speed was even faster.

Within a single meter, a single Ghost could ram his tornado more than ten times.

He was now surrounded by several thousand Ghosts, all of them relentlessly ramming the shield.

They were trying to break the tornado open.

Thus, every step of this short distance was incredibly difficult for Jiang Chen.

BOOM!

The tornado shield, formed from Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, let out a deafening roar.

It nearly collapsed.

Jiang Chen’s expression changed drastically.

"Dammit!"

"Hold together!" he roared, once again using the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique to stabilize the tornado shield.

However, this did nothing to change his current predicament.

’Eight meters left!’

Jiang Chen stared ahead with desperate longing, wishing he could just instantly appear inside the passage.

Then he would be safe.

But the Ghosts gave him no such chance.

The impacts were relentless.

’Five meters left.’

Jiang Chen’s face was ashen.

But he had to grit his teeth and persevere.

"Jiang Chen, are you okay?"

JinLing noticed Jiang Chen’s dire situation, she asked with concern.

"I’m fine," Jiang Chen ground out through clenched teeth, his voice heavy.

He then said to the other four, "Quick, get in front of me! Hurry! I can’t hold on much longer!"

He said he was fine, but he knew he wasn’t.

He had very little Cultivation Power left.

The moment the tornado shield broke, countless Ghosts would swarm them, and all five would die instantly.

And now, with five meters to go, the distance was so close, yet felt so far away.

THUD-THUD...

Another wave of impacts struck.

Jiang Chen’s face paled, and beads of sweat rolled down his forehead.

His Cultivation Power was rapidly running out.

He was on the verge of losing control of the tornado shield.

Seeing this, he simply shrank the tornado’s radius.

This would allow him to hold on for a little longer.

CRACK.

A cracking sound suddenly echoed out.

Jiang Chen, Zhan Yang, and the others looked up to see that a crack had actually been battered into the tornado shield.

"Not good! Jiang Chen, hurry! Three meters left!"

JinLing paled with fright. Three meters was right before their eyes, just a step or two away.

Jiang Chen tried to repair the tornado shield.

But to his despair, he found that the Cultivation Power in his body was almost completely depleted.

"Quick, you go first!"

Jiang Chen roared.

He knew they couldn’t delay any longer.

He had JinLing and the others stand in front of him.

’Two meters left.’

Jiang Chen’s face was as white as a sheet.

The immense pressure was making it hard for him to breathe.

’One meter left.’

At that moment, Jiang Chen felt every last bit of Cultivation Power being drained from his body.

The drain was terrifyingly fast in these final moments.

It gave him no chance to catch his breath.

CRACK! CRACK...

The tornado shield finally began to crack apart, and he could no longer repair it.

CRACK!

With one final, sharp crack, the tornado shield crumbled to dust. Jiang Chen had no more Cultivation Power left to control it.

"Go!"

Jiang Chen roared in the final moment.

He violently shoved Zhan Yang and the others who were standing in front of him.

He used every last ounce of his strength.

WHOOSH!

The four of them stumbled from Jiang Chen’s push, tumbling forward into the ten-foot-wide passage.

In an instant, they were inside.

WOOOOoooo...

Countless Ghosts shrieked and howled, their cries filled with despair-inducing dread.

They dived down.

They swarmed toward Jiang Chen, who had been left behind.

"No..."

"Jiang Chen...!"
