I Am Grinding Experience in Another World

Within Thousand Lanterns City.

Chen Mu stared intently at the shadow beneath his feet.

However, after a good while passed, his own shadow remained still, without a stir.

"I clearly saw the shadow moving."

Qi Forbidden Hundred Miles!

The secret center of his eyebrows throbbed, and an invisible force radiated from him in all directions.

It was the feedback of perception he had initially gained from the True Form of Heavenly Demon.

Chen Mu fixed his gaze on the surrounding shadows.

His own shadow was fine, but the shadows of the tables, chairs, and benches around him were not right. While they appeared calm on the surface, they were filled with strands of dark, malevolent intent!

In the next moment, these shadows suddenly became active and began to wriggle, twisting into numerous monster-like claws and sharp teeth in an instant.

Malice surged towards him, as numerous black tendrils reached out from the surrounding shadows, swiftly extending and straightening, and in the blink of an eye, they bound Chen Mu’s shadow tightly.

It was as if he had just stepped out of the shower and into a cold breeze, causing Chen Mu to shiver uncontrollably.

Find your next adventure on

His face immediately darkened.

"These shadows can actually absorb my blood essence and vital energy?!"

This was the physical sensation he experienced when he himself launched Absorption to return the soul!

Boom!

At the thought, the Body Protection Aura suddenly swelled, instantly shattering the tables, chairs, and benches, and the shadow tendrils broke apart and dissipated.

But in the very next instant, from the dark corners and room edges, more sharp shadows pierced out, arrow-like, zipping into the midst of Chen Mu’s shadow.

Chen Mu’s body shook as if someone had suddenly drawn a large tube of blood from him, his entire body suddenly went limp.

"Damn it!"

He shot up abruptly, crashing through the roof and soaring into the sky.

Only when he had completely left the large city below did the sensation of having his vital energy drained disappear.

He stared intently at the city below. On the surface, it seemed quiet and still, but he could acutely feel the malevolent gazes hidden within the shadowy nooks and crannies.

In that instant, he even felt as though the entire large city was alive.

In comparison to this menacing behemoth, Chen Mu, floating mid-air, appeared as insignificant as a sesame seed.

Before he could figure out the true nature of the shadow attack, countless shadows within the entire city began to writhe.

The next moment, those shadows seemed to take on a solid form. Numerous pairs of pitch-black tendrils suddenly surged towards the sky from all directions, swiftly surrounding Chen Mu at the center.

"Caught you!" A frenzied cheer that sounded like millions of people speaking at once exploded.

A massive force of absorption descended out of nowhere.

Chen Mu’s body temperature plummeted rapidly, and his face visibly paled at a pace visible to the naked eye.

But he laughed in defiance, something unusual for him.

"Caught me?"

"It’s I who have caught you!"

His hands suddenly became clear and jade-white, and a mesmerizing demonic power unfurled upon them.

Then he fiercely grasped at the shadows entwining his body, and those shadows, which should have been intangible, were suddenly gripped.

"Absorption to return the soul!"

The moment he rose into the air, Chen Mu had already figured it out. As long as these shadows could absorb vital energy, there must be a path for it. And if he could just connect Absorption to return the soul to this pathway, he could perceive its core!

With his vital energy continuously being drawn out, Chen Mu’s eyes suddenly brightened.

"The shadow is just a decoy, the lantern is your real body!"

"Haha!"

"Three Yin Slaying Demon!"

The area around Chen Mu was suddenly crammed with densely packed green Qi Blades, and in the next moment, they poured down like torrential rain into the center of the city.

Each Qi Blade seemed to have eyes of its own, precisely slicing open lanterns and extinguishing the flames that burned without oil or wick.

Almost instantly, the entire large city plunged into darkness, and the massive absorptive force entwining around him lightened abruptly, only to surge back up again.

"Come on then!"

"Let’s see whether you drain me first, or I extinguish you!"

Madness covered Chen Mu’s face.

Three Yin Slaying Demon!

Three Yin Slaying Demon!

The entire city seemed to be showered in a downpour of green Qi Blades.

Feeling the change in the absorption force within the shadows, Chen Mu’s expression grew even more fierce.

With a flash of black smoke, the Black-Skinned Fire Cloud Gourd emerged beside him, as he retrieved the Mechanical Talisman from the Vermilion Feather Sword back into the gourd’s interior, swiftly maneuvering it to soar.

In the next moment, a sky full of blue flames, like burning molten steel from a smelter, poured down, and the entire city instantly turned into a sea of fire.

Having suffered such a heavy blow, the pitch-black shadows immediately retracted, and Chen Mu, who was firmly grasping the shadow in mid-air, suddenly felt himself being yanked downwards.

"Think you can run? Too late!"

"Absorption Return to Origin!"

What were once jade-white hands now turned ghastly pale as if they were withered bones.

At the tips of the fingers, a crimson light burst forth.

Boom!

An immense suction force exploded, gripping tightly onto the shadowy tendrils attempting to escape through the Vital Energy absorption pathway.

As if provoked, more shadowy tendrils shot into mid-air and wrapped around Chen Mu, drastically increasing their Vital Energy Absorption force.

The agonizing pain, like muscles being wrenched, caused Chen Mu’s flesh, tendons, and bones to tremble involuntarily.

Yet, it was this sudden increase in the Absorption force that violently awakened the yet-to-mature True Form of Heavenly Demon.

Like a fierce beast shaking its shoulders, the secret point between his eyebrows vibrated.

Three inches in front of Chen Mu’s eyebrows, a black sphere the size of a lychee suddenly appeared out of thin air.

A tremendous force of absorption emanated from within it, easing the tug-of-war with the shadow immediately.

Quickly thereafter, the dense mass of shadowy bindings connected to Chen Mu’s body were sucked into the sphere without resistance.

At this moment, countless black shadowy tendrils stretched across the sky above the city. One end spread throughout the city while the other end plunged into the black sphere before Chen Mu’s eyebrows.

In the next instant, all the tendrils stretched taut, and a tremendous force suddenly dragged upward, pulling numerous large, twisted, monster-like shadows into the air.

"Ahhh..."

Shrill, wretched screams suddenly rose from every corner of the city as if countless people were wailing and roaring at the same time.

Shadows of all shapes and sizes, large and grotesque, struggled continuously. Yet ultimately, they were all forcibly dragged into the black sphere between the eyebrows.

Swish!

The once brightly-lit city darkened abruptly, screams and roars wiped clean.

Aside from the raging fire Chen Mu had started, which still crackled and popped, the shadowy monstrosities that had swarmed the entire city had vanished without a trace.

The black sphere between his eyebrows, seemingly satiated, spun around. The black light flickered, and it disappeared from sight.

Immediately after, a surge of thick Vital Energy flowed into his body, instantly replenishing the Vital Energy he had lost.

It even appeared as though it might not have been enough, as two more currents of Vital Energy emerged from his forehead, causing Chen Mu’s face to flush red. He didn’t look like he had just fought a fierce battle but rather as if he had eaten his fill, drank heartily, and had a long, satisfying sleep!

"Hey!"

"This True Form of Heavenly Demon is really something!"

"Haha..."

...

In the dense forest.

Qian Mu, carrying Shang Huan with a smile, said, "Seven Heavenly Capital Yuan Embryos and one Nether Spirit Primordial Embryo, all captured by the general."

"With such a great achievement, the Spirit Lord will surely allow you to retreat and cultivate in the Jade Dew Grotto Heaven."

"Haha, this subordinate pre-congratulates the general on achieving the Divine Demon Eight Transformations soon!"

Jin Er couldn’t help but curve up the corners of his mouth.

Stuck in the Divine Demon Seven Transformations for years, now seeing a glimmer of hope for a breakthrough, he too couldn’t suppress the elation within.

"Let’s go to Thousand Lanterns City."

"At this moment, Lian Cheng should already have succeeded."

"The sooner we finish this, the sooner we can return to the capital to claim our rewards."

Upon hearing those words, Qian Mu nodded, dropped Shang Huan, and pulled out a compressed, foldable white-skin lantern from his embrace.

With a flick downward, the white-skin lantern abruptly stood erect.

He cut open his right palm, and his fresh red blood flowed into the lantern.

Puff!

Instead of staining the lantern with blood, a dim yellow candlelight appeared inside.

Under this light, the ground ahead turned into a dark shadow.

The two men, unfazed, stepped forward carrying Shang Huan and sank into the darkness.

The view shifted in a blink, the dense forest vanished, and the two abruptly appeared in a small alley paved with green bricks.

A lantern hung on the eave of a house nearby, and now the two stood within its candlelight.

Without even having time to scrutinize their surroundings, a pitiful wail reached their ears. Looking up towards the sky, their gaze was immediately captured by the mass of dense black shadows up above.

But before they could react, they saw all the shadows being pulled into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

Simultaneously, the lantern illuminating the alley extinguished, plunging the whole street into darkness.

Qian Mu looked up at the sky and then down at the white-skin lantern in his hand, which now lacked any light.

Almost as if he had seen a terrifying demon, his forehead was suddenly covered in a fine, cold sweat.

"Lian Cheng is dead, and Thousand Lanterns City will surely drift into the void!"

"We don’t have the Divine Skills of Teleportation!"

"General, we... we are going to be trapped to death in Thousand Lanterns City!"

Jin Er, who had just regained his senses, became rigid all over.
