Chen Laodeng with profound good fortune_2 “`
The rumors of its vengeful nature have long been notorious.
The Dragon Beast coldly swept a glance at Chen Dengming, then turned its gaze to Su Yanyan, its intelligence clearly understanding the implicit meaning behind the words.
To continue fighting would mean a fight to the death, with no more grace or favors.
If it stood down and took a step back, then it would still be considered to have come to Su Yanyan’s aid this time, and the Longevity Sect would still acknowledge this favor.
It was essentially being offered a way out.
...
The Dragon Beast let out a low growl, and glared fiercely at Chen Dengming, as if to make a cruel statement, not bothering to exchange another human word with either of them.
With a fierce swish of its tail, it stirred up ripples in the sea below and swiftly soared away with a woosh, instantly vanishing into the clouds, no trace to be found—like a legendary dragon that shows its head but never its tail…
…
“Phew—”
Watching the Dragon Beast disappear into the Qingming sky without a trace, Chen Dengming let out a long sigh of relief, barely maintaining the Ancient Human Immortal Body which could no longer sustain itself, as the last bit of Human Immortal Dao Force was completely depleted, his gigantic stature, large as a hill, rapidly returned to normal size amidst the dissipating silver light.
A glint flashed in Su Yanyan’s eyes as she suddenly, discretely turned away.
It was then that Chen Dengming realized he was shivering all over and immediately shrank back into a column of water, sinking into the sea, and summoned the Ruyi Treasure Armor which was still connected under the water.
The battle had been too intense, and he had neglected the fact that his vastly enlarged physique had all but torn his clothes to shreds, which might have seemed impressive and magnificent in the heat of battle, but was actually quite embarrassing to witness.
Fortunately, aside from the Cute Uncle, there was no one else around.
Seeing the calm demeanor of the Cute Uncle, who obviously had practiced cultivation for many years, pure of heart and few desires, and achieved great success in the Dao, revealed no signs of blushing or disgust, which in turn influenced Chen Dengming to feel less embarrassed and more at peace.
After all, as martial uncle and nephew, they were all from the same sect, and would forgive each other’s unintentional mistakes, without taking offense.
Now that he had calmed down, Chen Dengming could feel the strong weakness all over his body, and his head was spinning with dizzying, stabbing pain.
Even the injury on his spinal cord at his back involved the whole body, causing the muscles there to swell and become engorged, almost giving him a hunched back, making standing extremely difficult and painful.
While in the state of the Ancient Human Immortal Body, his spirit was immersed in the state of mind of an ‘Ancient Immortal’, filled with unyielding fighting spirit and a belief in conquering fate, so naturally, he had ignored the physical pain.
But now, the unyielding spirit had dissipated along with the Ancient Human Immortal Body, and the various enhancements of combat strength, including the upliftment of his state of mind, were naturally no longer present.
However, earlier he had deployed the “Soul Devouring Skill,” consuming much of the Dragon Beast’s Nascent Soul power, and used the Reverse Glory Spring Return Skill at the expense of his lifespan, exchanging life force for glory qi…
Now these forces became nourishment for his rapidly healing body, being voraciously absorbed by the nascent soul within the dim Golden Core, and quickly refined.
Soon, Chen Dengming started to feel the weakness in his body gradually disappear, the injury on his spinal cord being slowly healed by the nurturing glory qi, the swelling subsiding, and the bruise being expelled…
“Clang, clang clang!”
At this moment, a series of faint spiritual lights flickered and flew towards him, fitting tightly onto Chen Dengming’s exposed body, quickly forming a seamless suit of armor with a dent in the chest area—it was the Ruyi Treasure Armor.
This armor, which had taken a blow from the dragon’s head before and had been buckled by the overwhelming Ancient Human Immortal Body, was now in pieces, but not destroyed.
Chen Dengming caressed the slowly self-repairing dent on the chest of the armor, resolving to have his martial sister research and further modify the armor later.
At the very least, it would be modified to fit the exaggerated stature of the Ancient Human Immortal Body, which would help avoid embarrassment during future battles.
Previously, although the armor was capable of changing size at will, its maximum was only suitable for the stature of the Human Immortal Daoist Body that he had created himself; it could not fit the Ancient Human Immortal Body, which was more than a dozen feet tall.
“I’m now like an old lady switching bras, one after another!
If this Ruyi Treasure Armor wants to keep up with the ever-growing me, it also needs constant upgrades.”
Chen Dengming made a self-deprecating joke and flew out of the water, now that he was armored, he had the face to see his Martial Uncle again.
By this time, the Incense Fire Incarnation had also retrieved the various items that had been scattered when the Ancient Human Immortal Body had exploded.
Items like the Storage Bag, Soul House, and so on, had all been shaken off earlier.
The Mini Array Spirit inside the Soul House looked wronged, but upon seeing Chen Dengming unharmed, the little one also breathed a sigh of relief.
Yet, pouting at the door of the Soul House, she grumbled, “Next, next time, it’s time to upgrade the house for this servant.
This servant doesn’t want to be blasted away by you getting bigger.
Have you, have you forgotten to come and find me in the sea…”
The way she spoke sounded strange, but as to why it was strange, Chen Dengming, who was half innocent and half not, didn’t think of it at the moment.
He immediately smiled and soothed the Mini Array Spirit, taking out a set of robes from the Storage Bag to wear over the armor, and hung the Soul House at his chest, showing he would always keep the little one in a place close to his heart, a secret spot difficult to reveal.
This sweet cajoling, part of the Chen-styled spiel, had been heard by the little one for dozens of years without getting tired, and sure enough, after being coaxed, she stopped her complaining.
“You sure have a way with words when it comes to women.
You were unremarkable back in the Changchun Sect, junior He must have been attracted to you in this way, right?”
By now, Su Yanyan had finally descended from the sky with grandeur, giving Chen Dengming a sidelong glance before speaking indifferently.
“Haha, Martial Uncle truly has an eye for talent.
But aside from my smooth talk, I actually have other strengths too.”
