Yuan Chen's consciousness faded away as his body succumbed to the fatal injuries inflicted by the demonic creature. He felt an overwhelming sense of despair and regret, knowing that he had failed to protect the island and the ancient beast who had become like a mentor and friend to him.
As darkness enveloped him, Yuan Chen was suddenly jolted back to awareness by a familiar voice echoing in his mind. "Host, you have encountered a tragic death once again. However, your unwavering determination and the progress you have made have moved the heavens. They have decided to grant you another chance."
A surge of warmth and energy coursed through Yuan Chen's battered body, healing his wounds and rekindling his life force. As he regained his senses, he found himself lying in the same clearing where he had begun his cultivation journey under the ancient beast's guidance.
His heart heavy with sorrow and gratitude, Yuan Chen immediately set off to find the ancient beast. He knew that it had sustained mortal injuries during the battle, but he couldn't shake the hope that it might still be alive.
As he approached the site of their confrontation with the demonic creature, Yuan Chen discovered the ancient beast's lifeless body, its once-vibrant eyes now dim and vacant. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he clenched his fists in anger and frustration. He had been given a second chance, but the ancient beast had not been so fortunate.
Yuan Chen vowed to honor the ancient beast's memory by becoming stronger and protecting the island from any future threats. He knew that he had to cultivate the ancient scripture even further, unlocking its full potential to prepare for whatever challenges lay ahead.
As he continued his cultivation, Yuan Chen discovered that the second chance he had been granted came with unexpected benefits. The experience of his previous battles and the lessons he had learned from the ancient beast had left a profound impact on his soul, allowing him to cultivate at a much faster pace than before.
With each passing day, Yuan Chen felt his power growing exponentially. He mastered advanced techniques and unlocked new abilities within the ancient scripture, transforming himself into a formidable cultivator. The island, once teeming with danger and uncertainty, began to feel more like a sanctuary as Yuan Chen's power continued to grow.
Determined to protect the island from any future threats, Yuan Chen established a barrier around the island, powered by his newfound abilities and the ancient scripture's energy. He knew that this barrier would not hold forever, but it would provide him with the time he needed to become even stronger.
And so, Yuan Chen dedicated himself to the path of cultivation, honoring the memory of the ancient beast and safeguarding the island that had become his home. He knew that the road ahead would be fraught with challenges and danger, but he was ready to face whatever destiny had in store for him.
As Yuan Chen continued his cultivation journey, he realized that he needed to accumulate more points to unlock even greater abilities and resources within his cheat system. He decided that hunting powerful sea beasts would be the best way to accumulate points quickly and efficiently.
Yuan Chen stood at the edge of the island, gazing out at the vast ocean. He knew that it was teeming with powerful sea beasts, some of which could easily rival the demonic creature that had attacked the island. He took a deep breath, gathered his courage, and activated his "Water Walking" skill, allowing him to step onto the surface of the ocean as if it were solid ground.
He ventured further out to sea, his senses heightened as he searched for any signs of powerful sea beasts. Yuan Chen had never hunted sea beasts before, but he was confident in his abilities, particularly after the intense cultivation and training he had undergone following his resurrection.
As he ventured further from the island, Yuan Chen encountered his first sea beast – a colossal, serpent-like creature that emerged from the depths with a deafening roar. Yuan Chen's heart raced, but he steeled himself and engaged the beast in battle, utilizing the techniques and skills he had honed through his training.
The fight was intense and grueling, but Yuan Chen ultimately emerged victorious, slaying the mighty sea beast and earning a substantial number of points. He continued to hunt sea beasts, each more powerful than the last, accumulating points and increasing his strength as he went.
Eventually, Yuan Chen felt that he had earned enough points to make a significant improvement to his abilities. He accessed his cheat system and began to browse the available options. There were powerful spells, advanced techniques, and even rare, divine-grade weapons – all available for him to unlock if he had the necessary points.
Yuan Chen carefully considered his options, ultimately deciding to invest his points in a combination of advanced techniques and powerful spells, as well as a divine-grade weapon – a legendary sword imbued with the power of the elements. With his new abilities and equipment, Yuan Chen felt more confident than ever in his ability to protect the island and continue his cultivation journey.
He returned to the island, eager to test his new abilities and continue his training. With each passing day, Yuan Chen's power continued to grow, and he felt an increasing sense of responsibility to protect the island that had become his home. He knew that there would be more challenges and dangers in the future, but he was determined to face them head-on and fulfill the promise he had made to the ancient beast that had sacrificed its life for him.
