Chapter 130: Merit Pool, Green Lotus Body

Three days later, the two finally arrived near the Eight Treasures Demon Cave described on the Opportunity panel.

This was a huge underground cave, its entrance shrouded in thick Devilish Qi, from which strange sounds emanated.

"This is it."

Zhou Chen looked at the entrance, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Saint, the Devilish Qi here is too dense, and Old Mu feels there's a strong Restriction here; it seems only Cultivators below the Saint Realm can enter."

Mu Yuandao frowned.

"No matter, Old Mu, wait for me here. I'll go in and see for myself."

Zhou Chen quickly walked towards the entrance.

Mu Yuandao, feeling helpless, followed Zhou Chen and tried to enter the cave, but was blocked by an invisible Restriction.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Mu Yuandao had no choice but to wait outside the cave for Zhou Chen to emerge.

As soon as he entered the cave, Zhou Chen felt an intense sense of suffocation.

The Devilish Qi here was so dense it almost solidified, and there was also an ancient, desolate aura.

The cave was very deep; it took about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before he saw a light ahead.

"That is…"

Zhou Chen's eyes lit up, seeing a huge underground space ahead.

In the center of the space was an octagonal pool, its water displaying seven colorful hues, emitting dense Innate Spiritual Qi.

Eight Treasures Merit Pool!

Zhou Chen was overjoyed, not expecting to find it so easily.

Legend said it was a divine object refined by the ancient Devil Emperor, Blood Fiend Heavenly Lord, using eight supreme treasures, capable of transforming Physique, enhancing Cultivation, and even reshaping one's Foundation!

He hadn't expected Xue Wuhen's Opportunity to be so Heaven-Defying.

Zhou Chen's eyes gleamed, "Heh heh, your Opportunity is great, I'll take it first!"

He cautiously walked towards the Merit Pool, his Divine Sense sweeping the surroundings, only relaxing after confirming there was no danger.

Zhou Chen took a deep breath and slowly stepped into the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.

Buzz!

The pool water instantly boiled, and the seven-colored light blazed!

Dense Spiritual Qi continuously surged into Zhou Chen's body.

However, no matter how Zhou Chen used the Spiritual Qi to impact it, the Half-Saint Bottleneck remained unmoved.

Just when he thought it would still be difficult to Breakthrough, he suddenly remembered that Chu Cangming's Opportunity panel had mentioned Chu Cangming breaking through to Quasi-Saint after Cultivating a Spirit Refining Cultivation Technique. Could it be related to Divine Sense?

Without delay, Zhou Chen quickly condensed his Divine Sense and, following the direction of the Spiritual Qi's flow, impacted the Realm barrier.

Boom!

The previously indestructible Realm barrier instantly shattered, and Zhou Chen's aura surged dramatically.

Dense Innate Spiritual Qi poured into Zhou Chen's body like a tide, and his Cultivation began to rapidly ascend.

Half-Saint Realm!

At the same time, the Nine Revolution Dragon Elephant Skill also began to transform under the nourishment of the Merit Pool's water.

The first layer's Dragon Elephant phantom became more solidified, and the second layer's Dragon Elephant phantom also began to slowly condense.

"Roar!"

The roar of a Dragon Elephant vaguely came from Zhou Chen's Dantian, and the second Dragon Elephant power instantly condensed.

If the first layer's Dragon Elephant power was a trickling stream, then the second layer was a surging river!

Its power had increased several times over!

Boom!

As the last bit of the Merit Pool's energy was absorbed, Zhou Chen's aura completely stabilized.

Two Dragon Elephant powers roared within his body, each containing the might to shake Heaven and Earth.

"Hahaha, this feels great!"

The absorption process was very smooth, and Zhou Chen couldn't help but let out a long roar towards the sky.

Half-Saint Realm!

Nine Revolution Dragon Elephant Skill, second layer!

At this moment, his strength was more than ten times stronger than before!

Just then, the System's prompt sounded.

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully intercepting Xue Wuhen's Opportunity and obtaining the Eight Treasures Merit Pool! Triggering a ten-thousand-fold return, you have received a Creation Lotus Pool! Would you like to claim it immediately?"

"Claim immediately!"

Zhou Chen was ecstatic.

Creation Lotus Pool?

Just by its name, he knew it was an even more precious treasure than the Eight Treasures Merit Pool!

A cyan lotus pool appeared out of thin air before Zhou Chen, with lotus flowers blooming in the pool, each radiating mysterious Creation power.

"This is…"

A dark figure in the distance widened his eyes, "A Creation Lotus Pool?! This is a legendary divine object!"

Zhou Chen didn't hesitate and directly jumped into the Creation Lotus Pool.

Dense Creation power surged into his body, and Zhou Chen felt his body undergoing a drastic transformation.

His flesh, bones, and Meridians… were all being reshaped under the nourishment of the Creation power.

The most miraculous thing was that deep within his Dantian, above the Azure Lotus Dao Foundation, a cyan lotus flower slowly bloomed.

If the Ring Spirit hadn't been thrown by Zhou Chen into the Guiyi Secret Realm, it would have recognized that Zhou Chen had condensed the Azure Lotus Dao Body.

This was a legendary supreme Physique; those with the Azure Lotus Dao Body Cultivated a hundred times faster than ordinary people and almost never encountered a Bottleneck!

As the Creation Lotus Pool's energy was continuously absorbed, Zhou Chen's aura soared like a rocket, finally stopping at the Quasi-Saint Realm!

This was already the highest Realm below the Saint Realm!

At the same time, the Nine Revolution Dragon Elephant Skill also broke through again, reaching the third layer!

Three Dragon Elephant powers roared within his body, each possessing the power to destroy Heaven and Earth.

"Hehehe, incredible…"

The dark figure muttered.

"This person actually broke through from Nascent Soul tenth layer directly to the Quasi-Saint Realm in such a short time!"

Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes, a sharp light contained within them.

At this moment, his temperament had undergone a drastic change; his whole being seemed to merge with Heaven and Earth, and his perception of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had increased dozens of times.

The Creation Lotus Pool also turned into an ordinary spring, its cyan lotuses long gone, as if they had never appeared.

"It's time to leave."

Zhou Chen put away the Creation Lotus Pool and looked towards the exit.

But just then, a chilling aura suddenly came from the Void Realm.

"Hehehe… Such a strong Physical Body, such a pure Soul… Perfect for this Emperor!"

A phantom figure emerged from the Void Realm.

"This Emperor? Could it be the remnant Soul of Blood Fiend Heavenly Lord?!"

Zhou Chen's expression changed drastically.

"Boy, it is your honor to become the vessel for this Emperor's Rebirth!"

The remnant Soul looked at Zhou Chen, its eyes filled with greed, and then directly rushed towards Zhou Chen's Sea of Consciousness.

Zhou Chen wanted to stop it, but the remnant Soul's speed was too fast.

The remnant Soul, like a wisp of black smoke, drilled into Zhou Chen's Sea of Consciousness.

"Hehehe! Boy, obediently hand over control of your body!"

The remnant Soul laughed sinisterly in Zhou Chen's Sea of Consciousness.

"Oh no!"

A terrifying Emperor's might instantly erupted, and Zhou Chen felt an intense pain in his mind; his Divine Sense was completely suppressed, and his body became unable to move.

"Hahaha! A mere Quasi-Saint Realm is nothing but an ant before this Emperor."

The remnant Soul laughed triumphantly.

He began to investigate Zhou Chen's physical condition, and upon seeing it, he was immediately stunned.

"This… What kind of Physique is this?!"

Blood Fiend Heavenly Lord saw the Azure Lotus Dao Body in Zhou Chen's Dantian, and also the Chaos-colored Nascent Soul, his eyes filled with shock.

"Azure Lotus Dao Body, Chaos Dao Nascent Soul! Heavens, this kid's Foundation is actually so terrifying!"

Blood Fiend Heavenly Lord trembled with excitement.

"Hahaha! This Emperor truly has great Luck! With this body, this Emperor can not only be Reborn but also surpass his previous Peak!"

He couldn't wait to begin Possessing Zhou Chen.

But just then, an unexpected change occurred!
