Chapter 197 Thunder Half Emperor, fooled

Lei Ming made an unbelievable sound; he found it hard to believe that the inconspicuous mark before his eyes was the Legacy of Great Emperor Taixu, and even more unbelievable was that someone would willingly give away a Legacy they had obtained.

One must know that even Imperial Clans would go crazy for such a Legacy!

Obtaining an Emperor's Legacy meant the prosperity of an Imperial Clan for the next ten thousand years!

He just gave it to him so casually?!

“Brother Zhou, you are too good to me!”

Lei Ming said excitedly, “You are practically my second parents! From now on, Brother Zhou, you are my blood brother, and no one else matters! Through hell or high water, as long as Brother Zhou gives the command, and if I, Lei Ming, can do it, I will not hesitate!”

Zhou Chen said indifferently, “Brother Lei Ming, you exaggerate. This is what you deserve; I recognize your character.”

Lei Ming was even more moved after hearing this.

Little did he know, this was originally his own Opportunity, only Zhou Chen had intercepted it beforehand and then returned it to him. Watching him moved to tears, Zhou Chen secretly chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Lei Ming was even more touched.

“Alright, without further ado, accept the Legacy now. I will act as your Protector.”

Zhou Chen said, looking at the Legacy mark that was losing Spiritual Qi.

Lei Ming wasted no words and immediately began to meditate.

The Legacy of Great Emperor Taixu transformed into a stream of light and entered Lei Ming's mind. Instantly, the entire Tai Xu Secret Realm vibrated slightly, and everyone felt a mysterious power surge.

Immediately after, Lei Ming’s body erupted with endless rays of light, and he was enveloped in a halo.

Before long, Lei Ming's aura instantly Broke through to the Half-Emperor Realm, and the familiar Void Domain, the Domain form of Great Emperor Taixu, suddenly appeared around him.

Zhou Chen couldn’t help but sigh, realizing that this Legacy mark could directly enhance Lei Ming’s Realm and comprehension.

The Legacy of Great Emperor Taixu was an unmissable Opportunity for Lei Ming, but for Zhou Chen, with the System, his achievements would only be higher, and he wouldn't be envious.

Moreover, even if they were both at the Half-Emperor Realm, the current Lei Ming would not be his match, but Zhou Chen wouldn't say these words.

From previous interactions, Lei Ming had completely submitted to him, making it very convenient and easy to have him do things in the future.

About half an hour later, Lei Ming woke up.

The moment he opened his eyes, he joyfully said to Zhou Chen, “Brother Zhou, I have Broken through to Half-Emperor! I, Lei Ming, hereby swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao: from now on, should Brother Zhou have any command, I will die ten thousand deaths without regret!”

Zhou Chen nodded with great satisfaction, saying, “There’s no need for pleasantries, Brother Lei Ming. You and I still have matters to attend to, so we will be leaving first. You must be careful; a Quasi-Emperor Realm Evil Spirit has appeared in this Tai Xu Realm. It is secretly setting up the Myriad Spirits Blood Sacrifice Formation, seemingly preparing to revive its true body. I advise you to be cautious.”

Lei Ming was greatly alarmed upon hearing this: “What did you say? Brother Zhou, did I not hear wrong? You said a Quasi-Emperor Realm Evil Spirit?”

He reacted very strongly, as if he had heard some terrifying news.

Zhou Chen didn't know why Lei Ming reacted so strongly and asked curiously, “It is a Quasi-Emperor Evil Spirit. A Cultivator who claimed to be from the Array Clan told me before he died.”

Lei Ming's expression grew even more solemn after hearing this.

Precisely because he was from an Imperial Clan, he knew many ancient secrets.

This Evil Spirit was inextricably linked to the Era of Imperial Decline ten thousand years ago, so Lei Ming was much more cautious than Zhou Chen.

He said to Zhou Chen, “Brother Zhou, would it be convenient for us to act together next? The terror of a Quasi-Emperor Evil Spirit far exceeds ordinary people’s imagination. It has developed its own intelligence, not inferior to that of humans. Moreover, as it continuously devours human flesh, blood essence, and Divine Soul, the Evil Spirit’s intelligence will grow higher and higher, and it can also control people’s will and twist their thoughts through possession and other means. Even in the prosperous era of Imperial Clans, facing such an Evil Spirit would require an all-out effort. If it were in the outside world, it would have already caused a catastrophe. Brother Zhou, we must be extremely vigilant!”

Zhou Chen nodded after hearing this, tacitly agreeing.

It seemed Lei Ming's words were not false.

After all, from the Opportunity panel, this Quasi-Emperor Evil Spirit was clearly not easy to deal with.

Even the former Holy Son, Xue Wuhen, was instantly controlled when he encountered it.

Presumably, he had intercepted too many key resources from Xue Wuhen before, causing his fate trajectory to change drastically, even to the point where his Luck value was so low that he couldn't escape the Evil Spirit's control.

Seeing this, Zhou Chen no longer hesitated and said, “Alright, Brother Lei Ming, let’s act together next. I need to find someone now, so let’s head in that direction.”

With that, Zhou Chen pointed in a direction based on the fluctuations he perceived with his Divine Thought.

So, the two transformed into a stream of light and disappeared from their original spot.

The moment they disappeared, a terrifying figure suddenly descended, none other than Xue Wuhen wearing a bronze mask.

He muttered in a frenzy, “Oh, what a wonderful power of comprehension, what powerful Qi and blood. It would be great if I could eat it.”

He licked his lips and then chased in the direction of the lingering auras of the two.

Zhou Chen and Lei Ming flew rapidly through the Tai Xu Secret Realm, two streams of light streaking across the sky.

Suddenly, Zhou Chen frowned slightly and stopped.

“Brother Zhou, what’s wrong?”

Lei Ming asked vigilantly, his Divine Sense instantly spreading out to survey the surroundings.

“There’s a very peculiar aura.”

Zhou Chen closed his eyes and concentrated, his powerful Divine Sense, far surpassing those of the same Realm, surged out like a tide, carefully capturing the faint, almost imperceptible trace in the air.

This greatly astonished Lei Ming, who, even after Breaking through to Half-Emperor, still couldn't project his Divine Sense outside his body within the Tai Xu Secret Realm. He hadn't expected Zhou Chen to be able to use it so freely.

It was an extremely faint yet exceptionally pure medicinal fragrance, undetectable by ordinary Cultivators, but Zhou Chen’s Divine Sense, tempered by Chaos energy, had perception far beyond ordinary people.

“It’s the scent of a pill, and its Rank is not low.”

Zhou Chen opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on the southwest direction, “Someone must be performing Alchemy.”

Lei Ming’s eyes lit up: “To be able to calmly perform Alchemy in such a perilous Secret Realm, their background must be significant. Brother Zhou, should we go and take a look?”

“Let’s go, take a look. We might even get some supplies,” Zhou Chen nodded.

The two concealed their auras and cautiously advanced in the direction of the pill fragrance. After flying for about half an hour, a seemingly ordinary mountain wall appeared before them.

“Strange, the medicinal fragrance is coming from here, but there’s nothing here,” Lei Ming said, puzzled.

Zhou Chen squinted his eyes, Chaos energy flowing within them, instantly seeing through the mystery before him: “This is an Illusion Formation, and it’s quite cleverly set up. To be able to set up such an intricate Formation in the Tai Xu Secret Realm, the person inside is clearly not simple.”

Having obtained the Array Emperor's Legacy, a Formation of this Rank was clearly no challenge for Zhou Chen.

With that, Zhou Chen formed a hand seal, and a golden light shot out, landing on a certain node of the mountain wall.
