On The Path Of Cultivation To Become God

Chen Tian began to gather his Qi, channeling it towards his palms. The energy surged within him, ready to be unleashed.

This would be the first time he used his Fire Law in battle, since it was still weak at 12%.

Chen Tian hadn't felt the need to use it before and preferred the Lightning Law.

However, fire was effective against trees and ghosts, so he decided to give it a try. He spotted a towering Pine Ghost tree in the distance and directed his energy towards it.

With a powerful thrust of his palms, a stream of intense flames shot towards the tree, engulfing it in a fiery blaze.

The Pine Ghost Tree that Chen Tian targeted was only in the 7th Stage Meridian Opening Realm.

In the normal eyes, it would look like a regular tree. However, being hit by Chen Tian's sudden palm strike, the tree began to tremble and emit a piercing screech.

|KHAAAAAAAAAA!!|

The tree crackled and groaned as it succumbed to the overwhelming heat, collapsing to the ground. Chen Tian smiled triumphantly, pleased with the effectiveness of his Fire Law against the tree.

"Good," he thought to himself, "this is a promising start." With the Pine Ghost Tree reduced to ashes, Chen Tian quickly dodged to his left and rotated his body, gathering his energy for a powerful punch.

His fist ignited in flames as he launched himself at his next opponent.

|PUUUU!!!|

Another Pine Ghost tree stood tall in front of him, its branches twisting and turning menacingly.

Chen Tian's eyes narrowed as he focused his energy, channeling the fire within him. With a swift movement, he struck the tree with his fiery fist, causing it to erupt in flames. The intense heat consumed the tree, reducing it to a pile of ashes within seconds.

Chen Tian stood back, a smirk playing on his lips as he looked at the numbers of Pine Ghost Trees surrounding him.

Since they knew they were found out, the trees stopped acting like normal trees and began to reveal their true form. Their branches elongated and curled, forming sharp claws, while their trunks contorted into twisted figures with glowing red eyes.

"Is this kid a retard?" The woman had a shocked expression on her face as she witnessed what Chen Tian just did.

A sane person who knows that he is surrounded would either escape or figure out a way to avoid engaging in the fight, not the opposite.

The woman didn't know what Chen Tian was thinking.

There were a hundred Pine Ghost Trees surrounding him, and they were all closing in fast. Chen Tian, however, stood his ground, his eyes filled with excitement.

Yes, he was thrilled.

His right hand was on the Pine Ghost Tree that he just killed and was burning.

The fire didn't hurt him at all; a wide grin appeared on Chen Tian's face as he laughed.

"Hehehe, good, too lucky!"

The moment Chen Tian killed the Pine Ghost Tree, he checked if he could absorb it using the Heaven-Devouring Chaos Technique.

To his luck, he was able to absorb the essence of the Pine Ghost Tree.

Unlike undead that could not be absorbed, the Pine Ghost Tree had an energy core that stored its powerful essence.

The energy surged through his body, making him feel stronger and more powerful.

For this woman, Chen Tian's action may seem reckless, but for him, it was a great opportunity.

"20, 43, 78, 123, 150..." Chen Tian eagerly tried to count the number of Pine Ghost Trees.

For him, they were like experience points that he wouldn't miss no matter what.

With this number, advancing to the Foundation Establishment stage is going to be a breeze.

|Boom|

Chen Tian dodged a sudden attack from a Pine Ghost tree. The tree's branches lashed out towards him, but he swiftly evaded them with a well-practiced maneuver.

Chen Tian knew that he had to be careful, as the number of enemies could increase at any moment, so he couldn't let his guard down.

His sword appeared in his hand; it was the normal low-grade 2 swords. Chen Tian had already planned on changing it after returning to the sect.

After many battles, the sword was in a bad state; it wasn't something he could rely on anymore.

"Eternal Celestial Sword Art [1st Form]"

"Eternal Celestial Sword Art [2nd Form]"

Chen Tian's Spiritual Qi flowed through his body as he executed the first two forms of the Eternal Celestial Sword Art.

Chen Tian's sword started to glow with a faint golden color, but this time it was different as the glow intensified and transformed into a golden fiery energy. The flames danced along the blade, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.

This was one of the specialties of the Eternal Celestial Sword Art, as it could merge sword aura and the power of the laws to create a powerful attack.

Chen Tian didn't hold back this time and used all of his strength to unleash the most he could from the 2nd form of the Eternal Celestial Sword Art.

This time, two golden flaming swords appeared floating behind him, mirroring his every move. The heat emanating from the swords was so intense that it could be felt from several feet away.

As Chen Tian swung his sword, the golden burning energy erupted from the blade, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.

The ground beneath him shook as the powerful attack sliced through everything in its path.

|KHAAAAAA!!|

Many Pine Ghost Trees couldn't withstand the sheer force of Chen Tian's strike and were instantly reduced to ashes.

Chen Tian didn't need their bodies; he only needed their core essence. As the ashes settled, Chen Tian swiftly collected the cores using his spiritual Qi and stored them inside his storage ring.

|Swichhh~~| |Wooshhhhhh~~|

The two swords behind him also shot like arrows, piercing through two Pine Ghost Trees close to him, sending them crashing to the ground.

The remaining Pine Ghost Trees growled in anger as they witnessed the deaths of their brethren.

They moved forward, their branches and roots reaching out towards Chen Tian, eager to avenge their fallen comrades.

Chen Tian remained calm and focused, his spiritual Qi radiating a powerful aura.

The consumption of Qi was too much, even for someone like him; using two forms of the Eternal Celestial Sword Art at the same time was exhausting.

However, this issue was easily fixed as Chen Tian absorbed the Core of the Pine Ghost Trees that he killed.

"Hehehe, that's going to be fun," Chen Tian chuckled to himself, feeling the surge of energy replenishing his body.

With his newfound strength, he swung his sword with lightning speed, slicing through the Ghost Trees like they were mere wisps of smoke.
