Chapter 217: Out of the Gate (Long Chapter, Two Chapters Combined)
In the cave, weeds grew, and in a green and shady area, there was a big, round white cocoon ball.

After eight or nine months, Chen Xuan finally contacted his physical body and was able to guide his spiritual body back.

He cried with joy. It had been more than half a year, and he was almost suffocated to death. Now he could finally return to his physical body.

"Damn it, I will never touch that unlucky fruit tree again." Chen Xuan was unhappy, but also obedient. The price to pay for gaining power was too high.

After this lesson, he decided never to touch that thing again, unless he had reached the end of his road and could not improve his cultivation, then he would consider it.

Instead of staring at the fruit tree, it would be better to look forward to the system's upgrade package. Maybe it would reveal a high-level martial arts technique that would allow him to leap into the sky.

However, Chen Xuan soon felt disappointed. It was not that easy. He was only separated from his physical body by a passage, but he could never finish this journey. It was very long and far.

As he was guiding his spirit back, he felt like he was in a pitch-black passage and could not see the end even after walking for a long time.

"It must be that unlucky thing's doing!" Chen Xuan was angry. In the past, he could enter and exit the small world behind the heart with just a thought, but now it was as if there was a chasm between them. Someone was playing tricks on him.

He was now in a dilemma, as his spiritual body was halfway through being received and he couldn't go back even if he wanted to, so he could only move forward.

In this way, Chen Xuan continued walking all the way, and it felt like more than a month had passed. When he was about to give up, he finally saw the light, which was... his physical body.

He accelerated forward, passed through the light curtain, and his spirit body finally returned to his body.

"Oh my God, he's finally back!" Chen Xuan was so excited that he wanted to cry and needed to swear, otherwise he would not be able to calm down the hatred in his heart.

The first thing he felt when he returned to his body was that his cells were very active, his blood was extremely rich, and his flesh and blood were full of energy, more powerful than more than half a year ago.

Chen Xuan discovered that his body was still in the transformation stage and was not complete, so he would not be able to break out of the shell for a while.

There's no point in him being anxious now, he still has to wait a long time.

In the following days, he suffered in the torment of a long wait. Seasons passed, time flew by, and he didn't know how much time had passed.

Time flies and years are ruthless. Another year has passed in a flash, and it seems like a lifetime ago.

Inside the cave, green plants grow in profusion and the place is full of life. The large, round white cocoon has been still for over a year, but today it cracks open, emitting beams of white light that break through the white shell.

The cracks in the white cocoon were dense and pervasive, as if a shattered eggshell had exploded in multiple beams of blazing light, with fragments of the white shell flying everywhere.

Suddenly, a figure rushed out and stepped on the lawn.

After a year and a half, Chen Xuan finally saw the light of day again. He walked to the entrance of the cave, and the warm sunlight was shining. It was a little dazzling, but also warm and comfortable.

Behind him, the furry white cocoon exploded into several pieces, covered with dirty blood and shed skin, emitting a foul odor.

"What a transformation." Chen Xuan sighed.

He is now completely naked, his skin is as white as snow, his fingers are long, slender and very tender, and more beautiful than many girls' hands.

After more than a year, he had indeed transformed. There was a piece of skin he had shed, covered with blood and hair, and emitting a foul odor that could be smelled from a long distance away.

Chen Xuan didn't know how powerful this transformation was, but he could feel that his blood was vigorous and his body was full of strength, giving him the illusion that he could punch through a mountain with one punch.

He changed his clothes and walked out of the cave. After so much time had passed, it was time to leave the Star Forest.

In this past year, Xiao Wu and her baby daughter came back only once, stayed for more than a month, and never returned to the Star Dou Great Forest again.

At that time, Chen Qiuer had awakened her martial soul and embarked on the path of cultivation. She heard from Xiao Wu that their daughter had great talent and was better than anyone else. Many people had secretly made moves against her, but they were all resolved by Star Luo Prince Davis.

"Boy Chen Xuan, you finally came out." The sky blue bull python swam up from the bottom of the lake. The lake water surged and a bull's head poked out.

The Titan Ape also came, leaping down from a distant mountain and landing on the wide lawn.

"Yes, I encountered some troubles before, but now it has been finally solved." Chen Xuan sighed, this was really his own fault.

He said that they had delayed for too long and that they should leave the Star Dou Great Forest immediately and go to the Xing Luo Empire to find Xiao Wu and their baby daughter.

"Boy Chen Xuan, Sister Xiaowu left a letter for you." The Sky Blue Bull Python spoke, and the envelope was placed in the cabin.

"Letter?" Chen Xuan was stunned. What was impossible to say to his face? Why was he making it so mysterious?

However, he still went to the cabin, took out the envelope, opened it and began to read.

There were not many words on the paper, just a few short sentences.

Xiao Wu left a message saying that if Chen Xuan came out of seclusion, he could go to the Xingluo Royal Family to find Davis and bring his daughter back.

She informed him that a god had chosen Zhu Zhuqing, named the God of Speed, to go for a divine test, and she would accompany him to inherit the legacy.

“The divine test… Is it one person’s test that comes early, or are all the people’s tests brought forward?” Chen Xuan looked up at the sky and put the letter away.

He couldn't be sure whether Zhu Qing was the only one who obtained the inheritance, or whether all the Shrek Seven Devils had been chosen by the gods in advance.

If it is the latter, it will undoubtedly increase the pressure on Chen Xuan, and it will become very difficult to face the heirs of five gods at the same time.

Unless Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, Oscar and Ning Rongrong do not stand on Tang San's side and choose to stand idly by, obviously, this is impossible.

"Forget it. There will always be a way out. Now I have a small amount of natural energy in my body, and I already have the means to hurt gods." Chen Xuan said to himself, examining himself, and he was actually not bad.

Afterwards, he bid farewell to the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, left the central area, and set off for the Star Luo Empire.

"It's time to add a soul ring." Chen Xuan felt the soul power in his body. Although it stopped at level 60, he conservatively estimated that it was at least above level 67.

Over the past year and a half, his body has undergone a transformation. He shed his old skin, his blood was rebuilt, and his bones were hammered clean of any impurities, as smooth and white as white jade.

As for the increase in soul power, it is actually not much, and is far less powerful than the increase brought by the magic grass.

boom!
Chen Xuan took a step forward, blue lightning spread and lingered around his body. In an instant, he felt the cells in his body become extremely active, and the power in his flesh and blood was activated.

Then he rushed out, faster than ever before. The trees on both sides quickly retreated, the wind whistled, and in the blink of an eye he appeared a thousand meters away.

Chen Xuan was stunned and didn't even react in time. He had reached several times the speed of sound. In a flash, he was already a thousand meters away. The time it took was only one or two seconds!
boom!
At this moment, a loud explosion was heard from the rear, shaking the mountains and forests, causing birds and animals to fly away.

"Four times the speed of sound?" Chen Xuan himself was shocked. He had stagnated for a year and a half without practicing, but instead of regressing, he made progress at such a rapid pace.

Even a Titled Douluo of the Agility Attack system is probably only this fast.

brush!
Chen Xuan rushed out again, his figure was so fast that it was blurred, like a flash of lightning that crossed the mountains and forests, so fast that it was shocking, and soon he ran ten miles away.

From behind, there was a series of deafening explosions, which were the loud noises caused by breaking the sound barrier.

He felt very hot all over, his skin was red and burning. This speed was very energy-consuming and it was not suitable to drive here.

"Found it." Chen Xuan stood on a hilltop, looking down. There, there was a soul beast similar to a rhinoceros, with dark skin, a body as big as a house, and extremely ferocious.

"A soul beast of more than 50,000 years old. Although the age is a little low, it is enough."

……

Inside the Star Forest

There was a mountain that was a hundred feet high and lined with pine trees. Chen Xuan stood on the top of the mountain, staring at a soul beast below. The soul beast looked like a rhinoceros and was as big as a house. It had been in cultivation for more than 50,000 years.

To be honest, with his current mental strength and transformed physique, he would have no problem absorbing a 90,000-year-old soul beast.

Unfortunately, although the Star Dou Great Forest is vast, soul beasts that are nearly 90,000 years old are rare, and it takes a lot of time to find them.

Chen Xuan didn’t have much time. He just wanted to solve the soul ring problem as soon as possible, and then go to the Xingluo Empire to pick up his daughter, and then find Xiaowu and Zhuqing.

Therefore, he had to settle for the second best and choose a soul beast that was 50,000 to 60,000 years old. After all, the reincarnation pupil technique in his right eye was amazing and could plunder soul power and soul rings to replenish himself.

Likewise, it consumes a lot of pupil power. In a battle against opponents of higher levels, one will go blind after using it just a few times.

If it weren't for the injection of Hashirama's cells, which could slowly restore his eye power, Chen Xuan would not dare to use the ability of his right eye at will. However, now it is different. He must make good use of the eye techniques of the Mangekyō Sharingan.

In addition, the immortal grass can also improve soul power, which is very useful when reaching the bottleneck period. Unfortunately, the ones he snatched from Tang San have been used up. If he has time later, he will go to the Sunset Forest and visit Dugu Bo's medicine garden.

"Let's talk about the future later. Let's deal with the soul beast in front of us first." Chen Xuan said to himself, and then began to form seals.

He mobilized his chakra, and a hot current rushed straight to his throat, containing violent energy.

"Art fire escape ho fireball!"

On the grass, a rhinoceros as big as a house was resting, unaware of the approaching danger. However, the next moment, it suddenly opened its eyes and tensed its four legs, as if it had encountered a natural enemy.

call!
In the forest, a huge fireball appeared out of nowhere, with a diameter of more than ten meters. It was like a small sun, falling from the sky with scorching heat.

The rhinoceros, which was as big as a house, was huge, but was completely covered by the fireball. Its whole body was tense, and it ran on its four short legs, trying to get away from the spot.

However, even though it reacted quickly and took action immediately, it was still a step too slow and was hit by the sudden fireball.

boom!
In the forest, flames were raging, and the flames rose to more than ten meters high. Large pieces of pine wood were ignited, and a raging fire was burning, which was extremely hot.

With a bang, a rhinoceros as big as a house was hit by the fireball and flew backwards, knocking down all the trees along the way. Finally, it crashed into a mountain wall before stopping.

Its fur was charred and burnt in many places, causing unbearable burning pain.

"Roar!"

The rhinoceros raised its head and let out a beastly roar. Its horns were glowing and shining brightly, like a sharp dagger.

It was extremely angry. As a king, it was actually injured, which made it full of rage.

Chi!
At this moment, a flash of silver light shot over, followed closely by the dark-skinned rhinoceros. After seeing what it was, it did not care. It was just a small sharp weapon and could not cut through its rough skin.

Then, the silver weapon burst out with golden light, and a figure suddenly appeared, holding a sword more than three meters long.

Chen Xuan was very decisive. There was nothing he couldn't do. The Kusanagi sword suddenly emitted an arc of electricity and chopped down directly.

With a "plop" sound, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and a large amount of blood gushed out, splashing all over the nearby green plants and weeds, dyeing them red.

"Roar!"

The dark-skinned rhinoceros let out a scream of pain, which was extremely shrill, and fell heavily to the ground. Its body kept rolling over and over, and its blood dyed a large area of ​​grass red.

Chen Xuan was very decisive. He chopped its neck with a knife. Even though it had thick skin and amazing defense, it could not withstand the Kusanagi sword with the attached lightning escape power, which was extremely sharp.

The dark-skinned rhinoceros roared miserably in pain, and rolled over on the ground. There was a deep cut on its neck, exposing the bone, and it was bleeding profusely. It was seriously injured.

However, its vitality was so tenacious that it was seriously injured but did not die immediately. It was roaring and full of anger. It stood up and stared at Chen Xuan fiercely.

Roar!
It roared, and its rhino horn emitted a black light. Rich energy spread out and sprinkled on the wound on its neck, which actually began to stop the bleeding. Flesh grew crazily and showed signs of healing.

Chen Xuan was stunned and quite surprised. Are the recovery abilities of ten thousand year old soul beasts so strong?
He threw a kunai directly at the rhinoceros as big as a house, preparing to use his time and space ability again to leave no chance for the opponent.

The dark-skinned rhinoceros roared, its horns glowed, and a beam of light shot out, hitting the kunai, which exploded with a bang.

It is very smart. After suffering a big loss, it realized where the problem lies.

At the same time, flesh was growing wildly on its neck, a membrane had grown, and the wound began to heal.

Chen Xuan knew that he could not wait any longer, so the power of his eyes expanded, and golden energy surged out, shining brightly, and his Mangekyō Sharingan revived.

"Susanoh!"

He was now so fast that he took a step forward and the air suddenly exploded, and he was close in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, the golden pupil power condensed and took shape, transforming into a giant golden skeleton arm, holding a lightning blade, with electric light flashing, and slashed down with one sword.

With a "puff", blood splattered everywhere. The rhinoceros could no longer resist, and its head like a boulder rolled to the ground, killing it.

The soul power gathered on the corpse and formed a black soul ring.

"Come on!" Chen Xuan sat down and created a shadow clone to stand guard around him.

Then, he pulled the black soul ring over, integrated it into his body, and began to absorb the soul ring.

Chen Xuan's shadow clone was not idle. He cleaned up the battlefield and activated the storage ring to put the huge rhino meat into it, preparing to exchange it for some gold coins.

Suddenly, his eyes widened in surprise, and he discovered that a piece of soul bone had fallen to the ground, emitting soul light and just lying on the ground.

"Is the explosion rate of 50,000-year soul beasts so high?" Chen Xuan was surprised. He picked up the palm-sized soul bone and looked at it carefully. It was an extremely rare torso bone of the defense type.

Although it was not suitable for him, he still collected it and threw it into the storage space.

Half an hour later, Chen Xuan stood up. His soul power was restrained and he was in good condition. He successfully absorbed the 50,000-year soul ring.

He closed his eyes and felt the condition inside his body. The result shocked him. The increase in soul power he gained was beyond his expectations.

"Oh my god, it's already level 70?"
