Chapter 157: Dragon Elephant Skill Level 4, My name is Xue Wuhen

Of course, there were also a few Cultivators who were not afraid of death and rushed towards Zhou Chen, but such people were only a minority.

In the valley, Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes.

The power within his Physical Body had completely stabilized, and his Realm at the first layer of the Saint Realm was incredibly firm.

More importantly, under the tempering of the Lightning Tribulation, the Nine Revolutions Dragon Elephant Art had actually Breakthrough to the fourth layer.

“I've Breakthrough to the fourth layer.”

Zhou Chen clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within his Physical Body.

At the fourth layer of the Nine Revolutions Dragon Elephant Art, he had condensed four forces of Dragon Elephant, and his Physical Body had reached a new height.

Even a powerful Cultivator at the seventh layer of the Saint Realm might not be his opponent in terms of pure Physical Body strength.

But now was not the time to Cultivate.

Zhou Chen sensed that several powerful auras were approaching from afar.

“It's Ji Wuming and his group, haunting me like ghosts, truly unlucky.”

He quickly restrained his Qi and prepared to leave this mountain valley.

Just then, the emperor seal suddenly emitted a warm glow.

A wisp of pale golden Qi drifted down from where the Lightning Tribulation had dissipated and merged into the emperor seal.

The color of the emperor seal instantly changed from silver to pale gold.

“This is… Starry Sky Emperor Road Luck?”

Zhou Chen was a little surprised, not expecting that Undergoing Tribulation could also grant Luck.

It seemed that the rules of this Starry Sky Emperor Road were even more complex than he had imagined.

However, this was a good thing for him; the more Luck he had, the higher his final ranking would be.

Putting away the emperor seal, Zhou Chen's figure flickered and disappeared into the valley.

Almost at the same time he left, Ji Wuming and the other two arrived.

Looking at the devastated ruins, Ji Wuming's face was terrifyingly gloomy.

“Wuming, who was Undergoing Tribulation here? Can you tell?”

Ye Xuan asked with a frown.

“Judging by the intensity of the Lightning Tribulation, it should be the Nine Heavens World-Destroying Thunder Dragon, a terrifying Lightning Tribulation that ancient Prodigies would attract when Breakthrough to the Saint Realm.”

Bai Yuting rarely spoke, her voice somewhat solemn, “Anyone who can draw such a terrifying Lightning Tribulation is definitely not simple.”

Ji Wuming did not speak, but the killing intent in his eyes grew even stronger; he once again felt that familiar Slaughter Sword Intent.

First, his Opportunity was stolen, and now a mysterious powerful Cultivator was Undergoing Tribulation here, also possessing Slaughter Sword Intent of the same level; it was hard for him not to overthink.

If he wasn't mistaken, these two might be the same person, and all of this made Ji Wuming extremely displeased.

“Let's go.”

Ji Wuming said coldly, “This guy is very likely the one who stole my Opportunity.”

At the same time, Zhou Chen had already arrived in another area of the Dead Emperor Cave.

This was a black forest where the trees had long since withered, but an eerie Death Qi emanated from it.

According to the Opportunity panel's guidance, Ye Xuan's Opportunity was deep within this forest.

“A Medium Grade Saint Rank Heavenly Dipper Big Dipper Formation Diagram, that's a good item.”

A smile played on Zhou Chen's lips.

Although he wasn't very proficient in Formation, a Formation Diagram of this level would be excellent for selling.

Moreover, Han Li seemed to have some research into Formation as well, so it might come in handy.

Venturing deeper into the forest, Zhou Chen quickly found a dilapidated stone platform.

Complex runes were carved on the stone platform, vaguely identifiable as ancient Formation foundations.

“Found it.”

Zhou Chen stepped forward and, following the Opportunity panel's instructions, injected spiritual power into specific runes.

Buzz—

The stone platform instantly lit up, and a beam of light shot into the sky.

The next moment, a Formation Diagram shimmering with starlight slowly rose from the stone platform, and a gray-white Qi flowed into the emperor seal, making the emperor seal's pale gold color a little deeper, though not obvious.

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully intercepting the Holy Son Ye Xuan's Opportunity, the Medium Grade Saint Rank Heavenly Dipper Big Dipper Formation Diagram, triggering a ten thousand-fold return!”

“Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Medium Grade Imperial Rank — Myriad Heavens Star Formation Diagram!”

“Medium Grade Imperial Rank?”

Zhou Chen's eyes lit up; this was infinitely stronger than the original Medium Grade Saint Rank.

An Imperial Rank Formation Diagram, even the powerful Holy Lands might not possess such a profound treasure.

Putting away the Formation Diagram, Zhou Chen continued to search for other Opportunities in the Dead Emperor Cave.

Over the next few days, he moved as if through an uninhabited land, plundering all the good items in the Dead Emperor Cave.

During this period, although he encountered a few powerful Vicious Beasts, they were no match for his strength at the first layer of the Saint Realm.

Two Perfection Sword Intents coupled with his formidable Physical Body allowed him to move through the Dead Emperor Cave like a fish in water.

Soon, his emperor seal turned from pale gold to pure gold.

The speed of his Luck accumulation far surpassed that of others.

“It's almost time to go to other areas.”

Zhou Chen looked at the gleaming golden emperor seal, feeling quite pleased.

At this rate, he would definitely make it into the top three in the final individual ranking.

Just as he was about to leave the Dead Emperor Cave, Zhou Chen suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching him.

“Why is it Ji Wuming again?”

He raised an eyebrow; this Imperial Clan Prodigy indeed had something, he didn't expect this guy could actually encounter him.

But it didn't matter; he was no longer the Quasi-Saint Realm Cultivator who needed to endure.

At the first layer of the Saint Realm, with two Perfection Sword Intents, and the Nine Revolutions Dragon Elephant Art at the fourth layer.

Even against Ji Wuming, who was at the seventh layer of the Saint Realm, he had the confidence to fight!

“Since you've come, let me test the caliber of a Sword Clan Prodigy!”

A wicked smile played on Zhou Chen's lips.

As if thinking of something amusing, Zhou Chen muttered, “Xue Wuhen, who kills and sets fires, and Zhou Chen, who is revered by thousands; stealing Opportunities is the path I walk, and in all the Myriad Heavens, I am Zhou Tianzun, hehe.”

As his voice fell, Zhou Chen's aura instantly changed dramatically.

A dense bloody Qi emanated from his Physical Body, and his eyes became sharp and ruthless.

His entire demeanor was completely different, as if he had become another person, and he also wore the iconic bronze mask on his face.

It was the appearance of Xue Wuhen!

No choice, the alias Ye Chen, specifically for taking the blame, was gone, so he had to switch to another one.

Rumble—

Ji Wuming landed in the ruins, his gaze instantly locking onto Zhou Chen.

“It's you?”

He narrowed his eyes, feeling the pure Slaughter Sword Intent on the other party, and his pupils constricted slightly.

“Did you steal my Primordial Sword Embryo?”

Ji Wuming's tone was sinister, his killing intent undisguised.

“Steal? How ridiculous, this Venerable One took it openly and honestly, how can you speak of stealing?”

Zhou Chen sneered, mimicking the tone of Xue Wuhen from his memories: “You say it's from your Ji Clan; could it be that it has your name carved on it?”

Ji Wuming's high-profile actions a few days ago had made many people recognize him, so it wasn't strange that Zhou Chen knew him.

But Ji Wuming didn't expect Zhou Chen to mention the Ji Clan with such disdain at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuming completely erupted in rage.

“You're courting death!”

His long sword was unsheathed, and terrifying Sword Intent instantly burst forth.

The oppressive power of a seventh-layer Saint Realm Cultivator spread overwhelmingly, and the surrounding space trembled.

“Wuming, what's wrong?”

Bai Yuting and Ye Xuan also arrived, seeing the two at daggers drawn, they immediately became tense.

“This is the person who stole the Primordial Sword Embryo!”

“If you have the guts, state your name!”

Ji Wuming had completely lost his patience.

“My name remains unchanged, my surname remains the same, I am Xue Wuhen,” Zhou Chen responded with remarkable fluency.

Ji Wuming gritted his teeth, “Don't interfere, I will personally kill him!”

Ye Xuan and Bai Yuting exchanged glances and silently retreated.
