Chapter 189: Green Lotus Sword Domain, Tenth Level of the Holy Realm

Judging from the residual aura, the Evil Spirit possessing him was clearly not of a low Realm.

He immediately turned his gaze to a passing Loose Cultivator not far away.

Name: Wang Mazi

Recent Opportunity: In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he will be tortured and killed by Xue Wuhen, who is possessed by a Quasi-Imperial Rank Evil Spirit in Blood River Valley, becoming one of the sacrifices for the Myriad Spirits Blood Sacrifice Array.

Quasi-Imperial Rank Evil Spirit! Myriad Spirits Blood Sacrifice Array!

Zhou Chen's heart sank, realizing the seriousness of the matter.

The Evil Spirit Race was actually setting up a scheme in the Tai Xu Secret Realm, intending to wipe out all the Prodigies who entered!

He wanted to immediately spread his Divine Thought to find Bei Nianyu and Ji Wuming, but found that his Divine Thought was suppressed within his body by an invisible force, unable to extend outwards.

This Tai Xu Secret Realm actually had a Restriction that suppressed Divine Thought!

This meant that his Nine Firmament Spirit Refining Art, which specifically countered Evil Spirits, would be greatly diminished.

A strong sense of urgency welled up in his heart.

He had to increase his strength as quickly as possible!

Just then, a voice filled with resentment and killing intent came from behind him.

"Zhou Chen!"

Zhou Chen turned around to see Ji Wubing standing not far away, staring at him with cold eyes.

"A good-for-nothing who only hides behind women. This time, let's see who can protect you!"

Ji Wubing saw Zhou Chen was alone at the moment, and a cruel smile appeared on his face.

Without another word, he attacked directly.

Illusory Sword Grand Hand Seal!

A colossal hand, formed from the power of a Domain, covered the sky and sun, smashing down fiercely towards Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen's expression remained unchanged as he raised a finger and pointed it out.

"Great Wilderness Sky Imprisoning Finger!"

The gigantic Sky Imprisoning Finger met the colossal hand.

However, as soon as the two made contact, the Sky Imprisoning Finger shattered inch by inch.

The gap between Half-Emperor and Saint Realm was too vast.

"Trash, go to hell."

Ji Wubing didn't even bother to look at the center of the explosion; in his opinion, Zhou Chen was already a dead man.

But just then, Zhou Chen's voice calmly drifted out from the dust.

"Is that all you've got?"

As the dust dissipated, Zhou Chen stood unharmed in his original spot, the golden Dragon Elephant phantom of the Nine Revolutions Dragon Elephant Art flickering behind him.

Ji Wubing's expression stiffened.

"You have some skill, but what of it?"

His Half-Emperor Domain unfurled with a roar, and the terrifying pressure solidified the surrounding space.

"In the face of absolute Realm suppression, you're nothing more than a slightly stronger ant!"

Facing this pressure, Zhou Chen's body sank slightly, and his bones creaked.

But there was no trace of fear in his eyes; instead, his Battle Intent surged.

He slowly brought his fingers together to form a sword.

"Qinglian Sword Scripture, Second Form, Azure Lotus Cleaving the Heavens!"

A cyan Sword Qi, splitting night from day, fiercely slashed towards Ji Wubing's Half-Emperor Domain.

Boom!

The Domain trembled violently, but ultimately, it was not broken through.

Zhou Chen's Qi and blood churned from the backlash, but the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Pressure!

Unprecedented pressure!

"The Dao of the sword is the Dao of slaughter, fearless of life and death… If one hears the Dao in the morning, one can die in the evening!"

Perfection Slaughter Sword Intent!

"Azure Lotus… after Cleaving the Heavens, what comes next?"

Perfection Great River Sword Intent!

Under the terrifying Domain suppression of Ji Wubing, Zhou Chen's comprehension of the Qinglian Sword Scripture improved at an unprecedented speed.

A single Azure Lotus could bloom, could cleave the heavens.

Then, what about myriad Azure Lotuses?

"I understand… the Dao is above the green blade, and even more, between heaven and earth."

Zhou Chen closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his entire demeanor had changed.

"Qinglian Sword Scripture, Third Form."

He spoke each word distinctly, his voice echoing through heaven and earth.

"Azure Lotus… Sword Domain!"

The moment his voice fell, centered on Zhou Chen, one azure lotus after another bloomed out of thin air, endless, instantly forming a Domain composed of Sword Intent lotuses!

This Domain, filled with extreme sharpness and vitality, fiercely collided with Ji Wubing's Half-Emperor Domain.

Crack! Crack!

Ji Wubing's Domain, before this Azure Lotus Sword Domain, was like fragile glass, instantly covered in cracks.

"Pfft!"

Ji Wubing spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face filled with horror.

"Domain power?! This is impossible! You're only at the Saint Realm Ninth Layer, how could you comprehend Domain power!"

He was firmly suppressed by Zhou Chen's Azure Lotus Sword Domain, and countless tiny Azure Lotus Sword Qi tore through his protective Spiritual Qi, leaving streaks of blood on his body.

Ji Wubing was afraid.

This Zhou Chen was a monster!

He dared not stay any longer, leaving behind a harsh threat: "Zhou Chen, you just wait!"

Then he forcibly tore through space and fled in disarray.

The moment he escaped, Zhou Chen saw the refreshed System panel.

Name: Ji Wubing

Recent Opportunity: Three days later, in the Dragon Rearing Well of the Tai Xu Secret Realm, he will discover a Saint Rank high-grade healing Medicinal Pill, the Azure Domain Pill.

Zhou Chen looked at the direction Ji Wubing disappeared in and smiled.

The Opportunity had refreshed again.

His figure flickered, heading in the direction of the Dragon Rearing Well described by the Opportunity panel.

Half an hour later, he successfully obtained the Azure Domain Pill.

Ding! Successfully snatched Half-Emperor Ji Wubing's Opportunity: Saint Rank high-grade Azure Domain Pill!

Triggering ten times return!

Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Imperial Rank Low Grade Heavenly Heart Spirit Nurturing Pill!

"This is too stingy," Zhou Chen couldn't help but complain.

He wondered if it was because of the continuous snatching, but the System's return this time was clearly a bit inferior.

Zhou Chen first swallowed the Azure Domain Pill, which contained immense vitality.

Before long, Zhou Chen's aura rapidly returned to its Peak state, and his aura even subtly strengthened; the slight hidden injuries left from his previous battle with the Half-Emperor Evil Spirit were also completely restored.

"Continue."

Zhou Chen continued to take the Heavenly Heart Spirit Nurturing Pill.

The Primordial Creation Sutra operated at full power, and the vast Spiritual Qi of the Tai Xu Secret Realm began to surge towards Zhou Chen.

The next moment, a swirling Spiritual Qi vortex formed, actually condensing into liquid Spiritual Fluid that dripped down.

His aura began to climb sharply!

Saint Realm Ninth Layer Peak… Boom!

With a muffled sound within Zhou Chen's body, his Realm had astonishingly reached the Saint Realm Tenth Layer!

"What a pity, the Azure Lotus Dao Body and chaos dao infant are too ravenous; otherwise, I might have been able to continue breaking through."

Zhou Chen said with a look of regret.

Little did he know that being able to reach the Saint Realm Tenth Layer in just a few months was extremely rare in the entire Central Continent.

It wasn't that Zhou Chen was anxious without reason; his previous encounter with Ji Wubing made him realize that even though he had broken through to the Saint Realm Tenth Layer, facing a true Half-Emperor expert, it was still difficult to achieve an instant kill.

This made Zhou Chen feel very insecure.

Moreover, that Quasi-Imperial Rank Evil Spirit was still lurking in the Secret Realm, capable of appearing at any time.

If other Cultivators knew Zhou Chen's thoughts, they would probably die of shame and indignation.

The difference between each layer of the Saint Realm is very significant; Zhou Chen, at the Saint Realm Ninth Layer, was able to defy and defeat a Half-Emperor, already comparable to ancient Prodigies.

Furthermore, Ji Wubing was considered an outstanding figure among Half-Emperors, and Zhou Chen was not only able to contend but also defeat him head-on, which was enough to show how Heaven-Defying Zhou Chen's accumulation was.
