Chapter 131 Blood Evil Heavenly Lord, Refined in an Instant

Buzz!

Deep within Zhou Chen’s Sea of Consciousness, the Nine Firmament Spirit Refining Art suddenly began to operate on its own.

Brilliant starlight flickered within his Sea of Consciousness, and chains condensed from the power of the stars extended from the Void Realm.

They were like the Chains of the Revolving Stars!

This was a Divine Ability evolved from the Nine Firmament Spirit Refining Art, specifically designed to defend against Divine Soul attacks.

“What?!” The remnant soul was greatly alarmed.

Countless stellar chains moved like spiritual snakes, instantly entangling Blood Fiend Heavenly Lord’s remnant soul tightly.

“Impossible! How can a mere Quasi-Saint possibly trap this Emperor’s Divine Soul?!”

Blood Fiend Heavenly Lord struggled frantically.

But those stellar chains were incredibly tough, and no matter how he struggled, he couldn’t break free.

“Hehehe… Little brat, do you think you can do anything to this Emperor like this?”

Blood Fiend Heavenly Lord sneered.

“These chains won’t last long. When your spiritual power is exhausted, that will be the moment this Emperor successfully takes Possession!”

Although Zhou Chen’s Divine Sense was suppressed, his consciousness was still clear.

The Imperial Rank top-grade Nine Firmament Spirit Refining Art was indeed formidable, capable of even trapping a Devil Emperor’s remnant soul.

However, what that guy said was right; merely trapping him was useless. He had to find a way to completely resolve the situation.

Just as Zhou Chen was pondering a countermeasure, another change occurred deep within his Sea of Consciousness.

Whoosh!

A pale green flame suddenly appeared in his Sea of Consciousness, with a transparent lotus mark faintly visible at its center.

This was the Three True Flames condensed by the Chaos Dao Embryo!

“No! What kind of flame is this?!”

Blood Fiend Heavenly Lord’s remnant soul felt the faint threat emanating from the Three True Flames and finally panicked.

The Three True Flames slowly drifted towards Blood Fiend Heavenly Lord, who was trapped by the chains.

“Little brat, release this Emperor, and this Emperor is willing to teach you an supreme Demonic Technique!”

Blood Fiend Heavenly Lord’s remnant soul began to beg for mercy.

“This Emperor also knows the locations of countless Treasure Troves. As long as you spare this Emperor, this Emperor will tell you everything!”

Blood Fiend Heavenly Lord’s voice grew more and more urgent, but Zhou Chen remained unmoved, and the Three True Flames continued to drift towards him unhurriedly.

Sizzle!

The Three True Flames made contact with Blood Fiend Heavenly Lord’s remnant soul, immediately emitting a harsh sound.

“Ah ah ah!”

The remnant soul let out a series of shrill screams.

As soon as it touched the remnant soul, it quickly melted away, transforming into pure Divine Soul power.

“No! This Emperor is unwilling! This Emperor is Blood Fiend Heavenly Lord! This Emperor…”

The screams abruptly ceased, and Blood Fiend Heavenly Lord’s remnant soul completely dissipated.

One could say that Blood Fiend Heavenly Lord’s remnant soul was truly unlucky. Zhou Chen’s Three True Flames had not only absorbed many different flames but also absorbed the Pure World White Lotus, which specifically countered Divine Souls. Coupled with the stellar chains evolved from the Nine Firmament Spirit Refining Art, he was unable to use many of his wondrous methods and couldn't even escape.

It was unclear if Xue Wuhen was protected by the Heavenly Dao, as his Opportunity panel never indicated that he would encounter danger.

Zhou Chen secretly decided that he would be even more careful when seizing Opportunities in the future, to avoid capsizing in a ditch.

Instantly, a vast amount of Divine Soul power surged into Zhou Chen’s Divine Sense like a tide.

This was the Divine Soul of an Emperor Realm expert!

Even if it was just a remnant soul, the Divine Soul power contained within it was incredibly vast.

Zhou Chen’s Divine Sense began to grow wildly.

Under the impact of the immense Divine Soul power, the Nine Firmament Spirit Refining Art actually Broke Through directly from the first layer to the fourth layer!

Boom!

Zhou Chen’s Sea of Consciousness underwent an earth-shattering transformation. His Divine Sense, which could originally only cover an area of a hundred li, instantly expanded to several thousand li!

The strength of his Divine Sense surged even more, reaching the level of an ordinary Saint Realm Sixth Layer!

One must know that Zhou Chen’s current cultivation was only Quasi-Saint, yet the strength of his Divine Sense had reached the Saint Realm Sixth Layer, far surpassing veteran Saint Realm Cultivators like Mu Yuandao, which was simply inconceivable.

“Hoo…”

Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face. Feeling the surging power within his body, he was extremely satisfied.

Quasi-Saint Realm cultivation, Saint Realm Sixth Layer Divine Sense strength, and also the Azure Lotus Dao Body and the power of three Dragon-Elephant Dao…

Now, even if he were to face the Tai Chu Linglong Pagoda’s Void Realm again, he was confident he could win.

Outside the demonic cave, Mu Yuandao sat cross-legged, his Divine Sense constantly alert to his surroundings.

As Zhou Chen’s Protector, Mu Yuandao deeply understood the responsibility he bore.

Although this young man had extraordinary talent, his cultivation was still low. In this Cultivation World where the strong preyed on the weak, a slight slip could lead to eternal damnation.

Suddenly, Mu Yuandao abruptly opened his eyes, a hint of solemnity flashing in his pupils.

In the distant sky, over a dozen black figures were flying towards them at an extremely fast speed. The person leading them was dressed in a black robe and wore a silver mask, none other than a killer from the Shadow Blade organization!

“It’s these persistent fellows again!”

Mu Yuandao cursed inwardly, immediately stood up, and released his Saint Realm Third Layer aura without reservation.

However, when he sensed the cultivation of the person at the forefront, his expression instantly became extremely grim.

Saint Realm Tenth Layer!

This aura was unfathomably deep, even making him, a Saint Realm Third Layer Cultivator, feel a sense of dread.

“Damn it! Shadow Blade actually sent out such a powerful expert!”

Mu Yuandao was shocked, but he quickly calmed down.

He knew that with his strength, it was impossible to directly confront a Saint Realm Tenth Layer expert. The only way was to find a way to lure these people away.

“Gentlemen, I am Mu Yuandao, a Protector of the Taichu Holy Land. May I ask why you are visiting so late at night?”

Mu Yuandao spoke loudly, while secretly moving in the opposite direction.

The black-robed leader sneered: “Mu Yuandao? The Saint Emissary of the Taichu Holy Land? Very good, we’ll just deal with you together.”

“That young man named Zhou Chen, where is he? Tell us, and we’ll give you a quick death.”

Mu Yuandao’s heart sank. As expected, they were here for Zhou Chen.

“Zhou Chen? What Zhou Chen? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Mu Yuandao feigned ignorance while continuing to move away.

“Hmph! Still trying to play dumb?”

Killing intent flashed in the black-robed man’s eyes: “We’ve already thoroughly investigated. You are Zhou Chen’s Protector. Since you won’t speak, then we’ll kill you first, and then slowly search!”

With that, the black-robed man was about to act.

Seeing this, Mu Yuandao knew he couldn’t delay any longer, so he immediately used his movement technique and flew rapidly in the direction away from the demonic cave.

“Trying to run?”

The black-robed man snorted coldly, but he didn’t pursue personally. Instead, he waved his hand and said.

“Second and Third, you go after that old fellow. The rest of you follow me and search the demonic cave!”

Two Saint Realm Sixth Layer killers immediately chased after Mu Yuandao, while the black-robed man led the others towards the entrance of the demonic cave.

Mu Yuandao looked back and secretly thought that something was wrong.

These people weren’t all lured away!

“No, I must find a way to notify Zhou Chen!”

Mu Yuandao, while fleeing, took out a sound transmission talisman, intending to contact Zhou Chen.

However, as soon as the sound transmission talisman was activated, it was shattered by a sword slash from the killer pursuing him.

“Old man, still trying to send a message? Dream on!”

The two killers sneered and sped up, their longswords glinting with cold light.

Mu Yuandao gritted his teeth and took out a flying boat.

This was a standard flying boat of the Taichu Holy Land, extremely fast, instantly leaving the two killers a certain distance behind.

“Damn it! This old man has a flying boat!”

The two killers looked grim, but they still pursued relentlessly.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of the demonic cave.

The black-robed man led the remaining killers to the entrance of the demonic cave, only to find that it was protected by a powerful Formation.

“Boss, this demonic cave has an ancient Restriction. Saint Realm Cultivators cannot enter.”

A subordinate reported.

“Saint Realm and above cannot enter?”

The black-robed man frowned, testing the Formation with his spiritual power and finding that it was indeed true.

“Since we can’t go in, then we’ll wait outside. I don’t believe that kid can stay in there forever!”

A hint of gloom flashed in the black-robed man’s eyes.
