Chapter 195: Taixu Inheritance, Chaos Enlightenment

Zhou Chen also retreated three steps, his tiger's mouth feeling faintly numb. This punch was surprisingly evenly matched!

"Interesting. Your Physical Body can actually be compared to mine."

Great Emperor Tai Xu's eyes flashed with appreciation, then he instantly moved like a ghost in front of Zhou Chen: "Again!"

Great Emperor Tai Xu's fists rained down like pear blossoms, each punch containing immense power capable of splitting mountains and shattering stones. The dense flurry of fists blocked all of Zhou Chen's escape routes.

"Good timing!"

Zhou Chen let out a long cry, activating the Nine Revolutions Dragon Elephant Skill to its peak, and his fists also turned into afterimages to meet the attack.

Bang bang bang bang—

Inside the hall, fist shadows flew, and the two were like two ancient Vicious Beasts fighting. Each collision produced a thunderous roar.

The ground was riddled with holes from their footsteps, and the hall pillars were covered with fist and palm prints.

Great Emperor Tai Xu suddenly changed his fist to a palm, striking Zhou Chen's chest with a "Void Realm Shattering Heaven" move. The palm wind whistled, raising countless Qi blades.

Zhou Chen did not dodge, meeting it with a single finger—the Great Wilderness Sky Imprisoning Finger!

Rumble—

As the two palms met, a terrifying shockwave simultaneously sent both of them flying. Great Emperor Tai Xu flipped in the air to steady himself, while Zhou Chen also used the force to retreat, his feet carving two deep grooves in the ground.

"What a thrill! What a thrill!"

Great Emperor Tai Xu laughed heartily, his Battle Intent growing stronger and stronger. He said, "Little brother, you are excellent. It has been many years since I encountered such a formidable opponent!"

As he spoke, he formed a hand seal, and a brilliant white light suddenly erupted around him, his entire Aura rising again.

"Void Realm Battle Body!"

Great Emperor Tai Xu's body became semi-transparent, and every punch and kick carried an ethereal power, unpredictable and mysterious.

Zhou Chen's eyes narrowed. The Dragon Elephant True Essence surged wildly within his body, golden blood flowed like lava, and faint golden scales appeared on his skin.

"Dragon Elephant Golden Body!"

The Dragon Elephant Golden Body was the ultimate manifestation of the ninth layer of the Nine Revolutions Dragon Elephant Skill, which Zhou Chen used to fight. At this moment, his Physical Body's defense reached a terrifying Realm.

The two clashed again, this time the confrontation was even more intense.

Although Great Emperor Tai Xu's Void Realm Battle Body was mysterious, Zhou Chen's Dragon Elephant Golden Body could withstand all attacks.

Fists and feet met, True Essence collided, punch after punch, the entire hall trembled as if it could collapse at any moment.

After hundreds of fierce exchanges, the two simultaneously withdrew their hands, looking at each other and smiling.

"Boy, your Physical Body strength is very strong. Now, let's test your Divine Sense strength."

Great Emperor Tai Xu suddenly stopped, and two beams of light shot out from his eyes.

That was a pure Divine Sense attack, aimed directly at Zhou Chen's Sea of Consciousness.

"Nine Firmament Spirit Refining Art Ninth Layer!"

Zhou Chen was not to be outdone, also releasing a powerful Divine Sense force.

The two Soul Power collided in the air, creating invisible fluctuations.

This confrontation did not last long; Zhou Chen instantly won with a Spirit Cone Thrust.

The main reason was that Zhou Chen's Divine Sense intensity had far exceeded that of an ordinary Saint Realm Tenth Layer. Great Emperor Tai Xu was very strong, but he did not expect Zhou Chen's Divine Sense to be so powerful. Caught off guard, his Divine Sense defense was instantly broken by Zhou Chen.

"Very good, you have also passed the Soul Power test."

Great Emperor Tai Xu nodded with satisfaction: "Now for the final test—Domain power!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a gray Domain instantly unfolded with Great Emperor Tai Xu at its center.

In this Domain, space seemed to become ethereal, and everything appeared unreal.

"Tai Xu Domain!"

This was Great Emperor Tai Xu's famous unique skill, capable of pulling enemies into a Void Realm space, causing them to lose their direction.

Facing this terrifying Domain, Zhou Chen did not panic.

"Azure Lotus Sword Scripture Third Style—Azure Lotus Sword Domain!"

Azure lotus flowers began to bloom in the Void Realm space, each lotus containing the ultimate Sword Intent.

Boom!

The two Domains collided fiercely, and the hall instantly collapsed. The clash between the Void Realm and reality made the entire space unstable.

Lei Ming, who was breaking the formation outside, felt very confused, thinking that a treasure was about to appear, and secretly sped up his formation-breaking pace.

However, he was still thinking that once the formation was broken, he must call Zhou Chen and share the Opportunity with him.

What he didn't know, however, was that someone had already started stealing the Opportunity.

Inside the grand formation, the two were still in a stalemate.

Gradually, Zhou Chen's Azure Lotus Sword Domain began to gain the upper hand.

More and more lotus Sword Qi appeared, eventually completely suppressing the Tai Xu Domain.

"Hahahaha!"

Great Emperor Tai Xu suddenly burst into laughter: "Good! Good! Good! I didn't expect you, at such a young age, to comprehend such a profound Domain power!"

"You have passed all my tests and are qualified to inherit my Legacy!"

As he spoke, Great Emperor Tai Xu raised his hand, and an imprint emitting a faint light appeared in his palm.

"This is my Legacy Imprint. After Fusion, you will gain all the knowledge I have accumulated throughout my life."

However, at this moment, Great Emperor Tai Xu added: "But I must warn you, accepting this Legacy means you will walk my Tai Xu Dao, and your future achievements may not surpass mine."

Hearing this, Zhou Chen shook his head without hesitation.

"Thank you for your kindness, Great Emperor Tai Xu, but Junior has his own Dao to walk. I will not accept your Legacy."

"What?"

Great Emperor Tai Xu was stunned, clearly not expecting anyone to refuse his Legacy.

"Are you sure? This is an Emperor's Legacy, a supreme treasure that countless people dream of!"

"Junior's mind is made up."

Zhou Chen's tone was firm: "Everyone should walk their own path, not repeat the path of their predecessors."

Great Emperor Tai Xu was silent for a long time, finally nodding with a sigh.

"You are right. I thought the same way when I was young."

"Since you don't want this Legacy, then I hope you can pass it on to someone truly destined for it."

"My Legacy Imprint won't last much longer. I hope it can find a suitable successor."

"Junior understands."

Zhou Chen took the Legacy Imprint, nodding solemnly.

Just then, the familiar System prompt sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Detected that the host successfully intercepted Lei Ming's Opportunity!"

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining Great Emperor Tai Xu's Legacy Imprint × 1!"

"Triggering Ten Thousand Times Return!"

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining Chaos Comprehension Opportunity × 1!"

Chaos Comprehension!

Zhou Chen's heart trembled. This was an even more precious reward than Great Emperor Tai Xu's Legacy!

Chaos Comprehension could allow one to directly comprehend the Origin of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, which had immeasurable benefits for Cultivation.

Moreover, this kind of comprehension was unique and would not repeat the path of any predecessor.

"Thank you, Great Emperor, for your benevolence."

Zhou Chen bowed again, his heart filled with gratitude towards Great Emperor Tai Xu.

Although he refused the Legacy, Great Emperor Tai Xu's character filled him with admiration.

"Go, and remember to find a suitable person to inherit my mantle."

Great Emperor Tai Xu's figure began to become transparent, then disappeared, apparently the detachment of the Legacy Imprint caused him immense consumption, his energy exhausted, and he could no longer sustain himself.

"Junior certainly will."

Zhou Chen put away the Legacy Imprint, bowed deeply to Great Emperor Tai Xu, and then did not immediately leave the hall.

Evil Spirits could appear outside at any time, and this was undoubtedly the safest place.

Moreover, according to the Opportunity panel's prompt, Lei Ming wouldn't be able to enter for a while, at least not until the next day.

"Begin Comprehension!"

Zhou Chen murmured.
