"That's a Commander Level Earth Burrowing Rockworm!"
With his formidable Soul Power, Dongfang Chen sensed a Commander Level Demon burrowing beneath Bocheng.
The Earth Burrowing Rockworm was a massive earthworm-like Demon, and it could burrow incredibly fast.
If it kept rampaging beneath Bocheng like this,
it would tear the whole city apart.
That would also severely damage the completion rate of Dongfang Chen's mission to protect "Wutan City."
If a High-Tier Mage of the Earth Element were here, they could use Earth Element Magic to forcibly drag it out of the ground.
Unfortunately, Dongfang Chen's Earth Element Magic was only Novice Level 3, and he still couldn't affect a Commander Level Demon.
"A Demon that can burrow underground?! If we leave it alone, the residents taking shelter will be in danger."
Mofan's expression darkened.
He had just learned about Bocheng's current situation from Ye Xin Xia.
Although the city had been attacked by a Demonic Beast Tide, most of the residents had already gone to safety in the designated evacuation zone.
But if this burrowing Demon made its way underground to the evacuation zone... the consequences would be unimaginable!
"Don't panic. I have a way."
Dongfang Chen prepared to attack with his formidable Soul Power!
Mortal Realm Soul Power alone wasn't enough to launch an effective Soul Attack, but Dongfang Chen's Soul Power had already reached the Spirit Realm!
His Spirit Realm Soul Power was a reward from the system.
Dongfang Chen had never understood how to complete the "intimacy" stage of the acquaintance mission.
That is, until he grew closer to Mu Ningxue a few days ago. Then, at last, he understood.
So the "intimacy" stage that this Crazy System had mentioned meant knowing someone inside and out!
That made sense. Learning about each other's bodies counted as a kind of "intimacy," too.
After completing the intimacy stage with Mu Ningxue (Nalan Yanran), Dongfang Chen had received Spirit Realm Soul Power and the High-grade Profound Tier Soul Skill, Soul Hand Seal, as rewards.
With the Soul Hand Seal, Dongfang Chen could unleash an even more piercing Soul Attack!
Although Mind Element Magic could also inflict a degree of Mental Attack, Spirit Realm Soul Power combined with the Soul Hand Seal was far stronger than Novice-level Mind Element Magic.
A tremendous surge of Soul Power poured from Dongfang Chen's brow. It was so powerful that it stirred up a small vortex of turbulent air around him.
At the same time, Dongfang Chen rapidly formed a hand seal, his brow furrowing.
Soul Hand Seal!
The instant he completed the seal, the turbulent Soul Power around him fell into order and rapidly gathered into a sharp Soul Thorn!
"Go!"
With Dongfang Chen's shout, the invisible Soul Thorn ignored the hard concrete, pierced the thick soil, and shot underground.
The Soul Thorn was incredibly fast. The instant Dongfang Chen's voice fell, it struck the Commander Level Demon rampaging beneath Bocheng!
Rumble!
Its soul injured, the Earth Burrowing Rockworm burst from the ground in a frenzy. It wanted to see who had ambushed it!
Rumble!
A deafening crash rang out as the ground shook violently.
The Earth Burrowing Rockworm's long body burst through the surface.
Mofan stared at the enormous Demon before him, his whole body breaking out in goosebumps.
Because the Earth Burrowing Rockworm had burst straight up through the earth, its long, massive body stood upright before them for a brief moment.
It had the shape of a giant earthworm, its body covered in a hard, rocky shell. Although it hadn't emerged completely from the ground,
the part exposed to the air alone was nearly as tall as Yinmao Building!
Mofan sucked in a sharp breath, every inch of him trembling.
Why had such a colossal creature appeared in Bocheng?
He instinctively turned to Dongfang Chen beside him. "Can we... beat something that huge?"
"We can."
Dongfang Chen looked at Mofan.
"You'd better keep what happens next a secret. Otherwise, I'll have no choice but to silence you."
With that, Dongfang Chen circulated Dou Qi throughout his body and leaped high into the air.
As the Dou Qi surged through him, a pair of magnificent wings unfurled behind his back.
Purple Cloud Wings!
Dongfang Chen controlled the dusky purple eagle wings on his back and flew from the ground into the air.
The Earth Burrowing Rockworm had only just emerged and was still searching for whoever had ambushed it. The next second, it felt a fierce gust of wind hurtling toward it.
Bam!
Dongfang Chen, carrying a tremendous surge of Dou Qi, slammed his fist into the Earth Burrowing Rockworm's head.
High-grade Profound Tier Dou Technique, Eight Extremes Burst!
A dull impact sounded as the domineering force smashed the rocky shell protecting the creature's head into pieces the size of palms.
Just as that force faded, an even more powerful force struck.
This was the hidden force of Eight Extremes Burst!
Over the years, without an environment rich in Dou Qi, Dongfang Chen's Dou Qi Cultivation hadn't advanced quickly. But he had never neglected to master the Dou Techniques he'd gained from System Missions and the Sign-in Spot.
He had nearly maxed out his proficiency in most of his Dou Techniques!
Eight Extremes Burst was no exception!
One wave of force after another crashed into the Earth Burrowing Rockworm's head.
The gaps between them were tiny. In the blink of an eye, all eight layers of hidden strength contained in Eight Extremes Burst had erupted inside its head!
Pfft!
After eight muffled impacts rang out in quick succession, a hole the size of a doorway was blasted into the Earth Burrowing Rockworm's head, which was as large as a villa.
A torrent of blood mixed with brain matter gushed from the opening. Since the Earth Burrowing Rockworm had held its head high, the blood poured down like a small waterfall.
Then its enormous body went limp and collapsed to the ground.
Mofan's eyes widened as he stared at the scene before him. He could hardly believe what he was seeing.
His mouth fell open in shock, wide enough to fit a washbasin.
This was the first time Mofan had seen a Commander Level Demon. Before this, he had only read about them in textbooks.
But whether from witnessing one firsthand or reading the textbooks, Mofan knew for certain that a Commander Level Demon was like a natural disaster to a small city like Bocheng.
And yet Dongfang Chen had just killed a natural-disaster-level Demon in a single blow?
"A Commander... a Commander Level Demon was just killed in one hit?"
Mofan murmured unconsciously.
He abruptly looked at Mu Ningxue and Ye Xin Xia, only to find no surprise on either of their faces.
"You two... aren't you surprised? That was a Commander Level!"
Ye Xin Xia smiled. "Why would I be? Brother Chen is just that strong."
Since Dongfang Chen had to cultivate Dou Qi regularly, he hadn't hidden it from Ye Xin Xia and Mu Ningxue.
So neither of them had any reason to be surprised.
Mu Ningxue gave Mofan a cold look. "You'd better keep this to yourself. If Chen doesn't silence you, I will."
Although Chen was the only one who could cultivate Dou Qi for now, Mu Ningxue knew how powerful it was. He absolutely couldn't let anyone discover it before he had grown strong enough!
