Chapter 226: Entering Burial God Ridge, Breaking Through to Quasi-Emperor

Elder Xuan shook his head: "But she is right, we must leave quickly. I am now a Quasi-Emperor, and it will take some time for my strength to fully recover. Facing a true Emperor Realm, I'm still not enough."

"Let's go."

The two turned into streaks of light and disappeared into the horizon.

Not long after they left, a terrifying aura came from the sky, and space was actually torn apart.

The pressure of an Emperor Realm expert shook the heavens and the earth.

"A step too late."

An aged voice rang out: "They have escaped."

…

Before long, the Eastern Wasteland was completely shaken.

A mysterious expert at the Perfection of the Quasi-Emperor Realm had suddenly appeared, and the news swept through major forces like a storm.

"Quasi-Emperor Perfection! Only one step away from being an Emperor!"

"It is said that this person is called Elder Xuan, the Dao Protector of the Azure Lotus Sword Venerable."

"What? There is such a strong person behind the Azure Lotus Sword Venerable?"

"But even if he is a Quasi-Emperor, if he provokes an Imperial Clan, I'm afraid he's doomed!"

Major forces held emergency meetings one after another to re-evaluate their attitude toward the Azure Lotus Sword Venerable, and many forces withdrew their wanted posters for him.

After all, no matter how good the Imperial Clan's rewards were, provoking a mysterious and extraordinary Azure Lotus Sword Venerable was not necessarily a good thing.

The Jiang Family's discussion hall.

"Useless! All useless!"

The Jiang Family Head was furious: "The Law Enforcement Team was wiped out, Yifei was captured twice, and our Jiang Family's face has been completely lost!"

"Old Ancestor, please calm down. Now that Zhou Chen has a Quasi-Emperor Perfection expert behind him, we…"

"So what if he's a Quasi-Emperor Perfection?"

A cold light flashed in the Old Ancestor's eyes: "Notify the Ying Family, it's time to use the foundation of the Imperial Clans."

The Ying Family was also filled with towering rage.

After the Old Ancestors of the two clans had a secret talk, they made a shocking decision—to invite out the Emperor Realm Old Ancestors who were in secluded meditation!

"Is it worth it for a junior?"

An Elder questioned.

"If this boy is not eliminated, where will the prestige of our two clans be?"

The Jiang Family Old Ancestor said coldly: "Moreover, he has Treasure Artifact fragments in his hand. How can such a supreme treasure fall into the hands of an outsider?"

While the two clans were plotting, Zhou Chen and Elder Xuan had already arrived at Burial God Ridge, one of the most mysterious Forbidden Lands in the Eastern Wasteland.

Burial God Ridge, a place where ancient gods were said to be buried. Even those in the Emperor Realm did not dare to step foot into it easily.

"Kid, are you sure you want to go in?"

Elder Xuan frowned and said: "This place is very eerie, even I feel palpitations."

"It is precisely because it's dangerous that the people from those two clans won't dare to chase us in."

Zhou Chen said: "And according to ancient records, there is an Imperial Medicine deep in Burial God Ridge, which can help me break through."

Little did he know, this was something Zhou Chen had seen on a Cultivator in Eastern Wasteland City.

That Cultivator was being hunted and accidentally broke into Burial God Ridge, only to stumble upon an Imperial Medicine.

"Imperial Medicine…"

Elder Xuan's eyes lit up: "If there really is an Imperial Medicine, it is indeed worth the risk."

He was originally a Great Master of alchemy; hearing about Imperial Medicine, he simply could not refuse such a temptation.

The two carefully entered Burial God Ridge.

Less than a hundred miles after entering Burial God Ridge, a sudden change occurred!

Roar—

A terrifying beast roar sounded, the ground suddenly cracked open, and a huge black tentacle stretched out from underground at lightning speed.

"Watch out!"

Elder Xuan struck out with a palm, repelling the tentacle, but immediately after, more tentacles attacked from all directions.

"What kind of ghostly thing is this?"

In the darkness, a pair of blood-red eyes slowly opened, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

"Not good, it's the weirdness of Burial God Ridge! Retreat!"

However, it was already too late. Space suddenly distorted, and a strange force forcibly separated the two.

"Kid!"

Elder Xuan wanted to rush over, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.

"Elder Xuan, I'm fine! Each be careful!"

Zhou Chen's voice came through, but he had already been teleported to an unknown location.

Elder Xuan gritted his teeth and could only deal with the crisis in front of him first.

Outside Burial God Ridge.

The large forces of the Jiang Family and Ying Family had already arrived.

"It's here, they entered Burial God Ridge!"

"Burial God Ridge?"

The leading Quasi-Emperor Elder's face changed slightly, "This place…"

"What, a dignified Quasi-Emperor is also afraid?"

The Ying Family Elder, Ying Wuji, sneered. This time, he had volunteered to come; the enmity of a severed arm was irreconcilable.

Having suffered such a heavy blow, it could be said that he had no hope for the Emperor Realm in the future, so he hated Zhou Chen to the bone.

At this time, the Jiang Family Imperial Clan Old Ancestor spoke: "I cannot enter. Burial God Ridge has ancient Restrictions; anyone above the Emperor Realm who enters will surely die."

"Then let those below Quasi-Emperor enter!"

The Ying Family Emperor Realm Old Ancestor continued: "At the same time, send people to guard all exits. They have to come out eventually."

Soon, over a hundred Half-Emperors and fifty Quasi-Emperors entered Burial God Ridge and began a carpet search.

Jiang Yifei and Ying Xuan were among them.

However, what they didn't know was that thanks to the Divine Concealment Art, Zhou Chen quickly got rid of the unknown weirdness and instead felt like a fish in water in Burial God Ridge.

These Jiang Family and Ying Family Disciples who were sent in could hardly detect his presence.

Through the System panel, he could clearly see the various opportunities of those bound Prodigies from the two clans.

[A Jiang Family Prodigy will discover a Saint Rank Top-Grade Spiritual Plant in the inner region of Burial God Ridge]

[A Ying Family Prodigy will obtain a Quasi-Emperor Legacy in an ancient cave in Burial God Ridge]

"Tsk tsk tsk, since you've come to my door, I won't be polite."

In a hidden valley, a Jiang Family Prodigy was looking excitedly at the Spiritual Plant in front of him.

"Nine-Leaf Purple Ganoderma! This is a Saint Rank Top-Grade Spiritual Plant!"

Just as he was about to pick it, a figure suddenly appeared.

"Thanks."

Zhou Chen was silent and killed him with one palm, taking the Spiritual Plant.

[Congratulations to the Host for intercepting an Opportunity, triggering a ten-fold return! Obtained Imperial Rank Low Grade Nine-Transformation Purple Ganoderma]

Over the next few days, Zhou Chen followed suit and intercepted seven or eight opportunities in a row.

Medicinal Pills, Spiritual Plants, Cultivation Techniques, Magical Artifacts—various treasures flowed in continuously.

After finding a hidden Immortal Cave, Zhou Chen began his secluded meditation.

An Imperial Rank Medium Grade Barrier-Breaking Pill entered his stomach, and the vast medicinal power exploded instantly.

Boom!

His aura began to climb frantically…

Finally, a qualitative leap!

Quasi-Emperor!

Heaven and earth phenomena emerged—a terrifying phantom of an Immemorial Dragon Elephant appeared. Purple Qi came from the east for thirty thousand miles, golden lotuses gushed from the earth, the sun and moon shone together, and mountains and rivers were overturned.

"It's done!"

Zhou Chen opened his eyes, feeling the surging power within his body.

The difference between a Quasi-Emperor and a Half-Emperor was like heaven and earth.

Just then, there was movement outside the Immortal Cave.

"Found him! The Azure Lotus Sword Venerable is here!"

"Quickly notify the others!"

More than twenty Half-Emperor experts from the Jiang and Ying Families surrounded the Immortal Cave, including seven or eight Quasi-Emperors.

"Azure Lotus Sword Venerable, you can't escape!"

"Surrender peacefully!"

Zhou Chen slowly walked out of the Immortal Cave, looking at the crowd surrounding him, a cold sneer curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Just with you lot?"

The pressure of a Quasi-Emperor erupted!

Puff puff puff!

All the Half-Emperor experts instantly knelt on the ground, without even the strength to lift their heads.

"Quasi… Quasi-Emperor?!"

"He broke through!"

"Impossible! How could he break through to Quasi-Emperor so quickly!"

Zhou Chen ignored their shock and waved his hand.

Azure Lotus Cleaving the Heavens.

Perfection Mountains and Rivers Sword Intent!

Perfection Slaughter Sword Intent!

The sky and earth were instantly split in two by the exaggerated Sword Qi, one side being day and the other side being eternal night.

Swoosh.

A sword light flashed, and more than twenty heads rolled down.

"Go back and tell the Jiang Family and Ying Family that if you want my life, let your Old Ancestors come personally."

Zhou Chen left one survivor to deliver the message and then disappeared from the spot.

As the news spread, the Eastern Wasteland was shaken once again.
