Chapter 972: Regeneration Ability

Golden light surged where his arm was severed, and the Dark Power intended to repair his wound, but that golden light remained on his arm like a maggot attached to bone, leaving him with no way to shake it off no matter what he did.

"You..." The white-robed figure raised his head, looking at Chen Yu in disbelief; he could never have imagined that he would actually be defeated just like this.

"Heh, you will never be able to imagine how many methods a Dharma Cultivator from Huaxia has, right? I have plenty of ways to suppress your Dark Power." Chen Yu stared coldly at the white-robed figure: "If you don't believe it, then come and try."

"Heh, good, very good. You are indeed worthy of being the grandson of Chen Tianming. Chen Yu, I will remember this sword strike today. Another day, I will surely come to take your life." The voice of the white-robed figure was cold and sinister, but his power was currently damaged, so his speech lacked sufficient breath.

Now that he was injured and had suffered significant damage, he needed to find a place to recuperate in peace; he turned and vanished without a trace.

After the white-robed figure disappeared, the expression on Chen Yu's face finally relaxed; he gave a muffled groan, knelt on one knee on the ground, and a look of pain appeared on his face.

The five claw marks on his body were wounds inflicted by the white-robed figure with Dark Power; the blood currently seeping from the wounds was black. This kind of Dark Power was extremely venomous, and once wounded by it, it was very difficult to heal, even for Chen Yu, who possessed great medical skills.

"Brother Chen, how are you?" Yu Sichen stepped forward to support Chen Yu.

"I'm fine. You had better not use your power recklessly, otherwise, the Ancestral Ghost will seize the opportunity to come out." Chen Yu's face was deathly pale.

"I have a way to restrain him. You are injured; I will help you inside." Yu Sichen supported Chen Yu and went to the tent.

Chen Yu was not lightly injured this time; he took out a Miyuan Pill and swallowed it, then applied Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for debridement and detoxification to his wounds. After fussing for the better part of the day, the wounds on his body had finally recovered somewhat.

However, his current situation was not good, because the Dark Power had already flowed through Chen Yu's blood throughout his entire body, constantly eroding his internal organs.

"Brother Chen, your complexion is not good. How are you really?" Yu Sichen looked at Chen Yu nervously, her face full of worry.

"I'm fine, don't worry." Chen Yu smiled, gave her a comforting look, then settled his True Qi and sat upright on the spot.

Chen Yu had now entered the realm of Meditation, and the Original Power within his body was slowly condensing. If it were an ordinary person, the dark aura would have already gathered in their heart pulse, but he had Primordial Qi protecting his heart pulse, and with a thought, a wisp of Yimu Qi surged out from his chest.

This wisp of Yimu Qi had entered his body inadvertently during the battle with the Tree Spirit on the night they entered the Wurenqu. Originally, this mass of energy had remained in his body, and he could not figure out what it was.

But now, this wisp of energy began to surge within his body, and wisps of green energy slowly cleared away these Dark Breaths.

The Tree Spirit possessed endless Yimu Qi; among the Five Elements, Wood represents Regeneration, and Chen Yu had inadvertently acquired the ability of Regeneration.

With the influx of this wisp of Yimu Qi, the blood from the wounds on Chen Yu's body changed from black to red, then stopped bleeding, and immediately after, the wounds slowly healed and scabbed over.

Chen Yu wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and when he looked at his wounds, he found that they had all healed.

"Brother Chen, your wounds have healed? Is this a good thing?" Yu Sichen looked at Chen Yu's healed wounds with some uncertainty, feeling a bit unsure.

"The Tree Spirit we destroyed when we entered the Wurenqu possessed Yimu Qi. Wood represents life. It seems that I have acquired a kind of ability in my body, and this ability is Regeneration."

"Although this ability cannot heal wounds quickly, it is in the initial stage. I feel that this ability will become stronger and stronger in the future." Chen Yu's expression was somewhat surprised; he had not expected to have such an unexpected joy from coming here.

"As long as you are fine." Yu Sichen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Rest assured, it's fine." Chen Yu smiled and comforted her: "It's getting late, let's rest. We still have to go to the Snow Mountain side tomorrow."

"Mm." Yu Sichen nodded.

The two had been sleeping together for the past few days, especially in this freezing place; although there was a tent made of special materials, Yu Sichen almost curled up into Chen Yu's arms to sleep.

In a daze, her consciousness flashed again, and the Ancestral Ghost appeared in turn.

"Yu Sichen, you used my power." The Ancestral Ghost laughed sinisterly.

"You've come out again?" Yu Sichen stared at the Ancestral Ghost, her face full of disgust.

"In this world, there are no free lunches. If it weren't for me, even if Chen Yu hadn't been defeated, he would have surely paid a greater price tonight."

The Ancestral Ghost laughed very insidiously: "Yu Sichen, accept your fate. You will never be able to get rid of me in this lifetime."

"Even if I can't get rid of you, don't even think about coming out. I would rather die than live in this world being manipulated by you like a Puppet." Yu Sichen sneered.

"You've seen my true Dark Power, haven't you?" The Ancestral Ghost's bewitching voice was erratic: "You know the feeling of controlling power, right? As long as you let me out, the two of us can coexist, and you can possess my power as well."

"The power of the Dark Abyss—I would rather not have it," Yu Sichen said indifferently.

"Heh, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have survived until now at all," the Ancestral Ghost sneered.

"If it weren't for me, you would be nothing more than a lonely ghost sealed in a wooden doll right now. What right do you have to boss me around here?" Yu Sichen sneered: "Get back in there."

Yu Sichen forcibly cut off the connection with the Ancestral Ghost, and an angry voice echoed in her mind for a long time: "Yu Sichen, just you wait. I will occupy your body sooner or later; your time is running out..."

Yu Sichen opened her eyes and looked at Chen Yu beside her. Chen Yu had been injured by the Dark Power; although he possessed the ability of Regeneration, the residual Dark Power in his body still made him unable to withstand it.

Chen Yu was sleeping very soundly now. If he hadn't been injured, with his strength, he would have noticed even the slightest disturbance, but Yu Sichen had sat up and studied him for so long, and he hadn't reacted at all.

Her time was indeed running out. Although she had been reciting the Ksitigarbha Heart Sutra for the past few days, using the Dark Power time and time again had made the seal on the Ancestral Ghost looser and looser.

Yu Sichen slowly leaned down and hugged Chen Yu tightly.

"What's wrong with you?" In a daze, Chen Yu felt a warm, soft body pressing tightly against him; he knew it was Yu Sichen.

"I'm cold," Yu Sichen said softly: "I want to hold you."

"Hold on for a few more days. We will go to the Snow Mountain to retrieve that Heavenly Material and then go back," Chen Yu smiled.
