Chapter 320: Cutting the Roots, Spirit Stones Reset to Zero

"Nirvana Sacred Lotus? This is good stuff."

The Nirvana Sacred Lotus is a legendary sacred medicine that can allow a Cultivator to completely reshape their Physical Body and Breakthrough their Realm Bottleneck.

For a Cultivator in the Emperor Realm, it is simply a priceless treasure.

"Three days later, the Ancient Battlefield…"

Zhou Chen stroked his chin.

"Time is tight; I don't know if I'll make it in time."

However, he also knew that the Golden Crow Demon Emperor would certainly not let him go easily.

Perhaps the other party was already on the way, or perhaps he would encounter them.

"But it doesn't matter. Soldiers will be blocked by generals, and water will be covered by earth."

Zhou Chen smiled and turned to leave Myriad Demon City.

He wanted to go to the Ancient Battlefield first to scout the way and see the situation there.

…

Ten Thousand Demon Plains, the boundary between the Inner Perimeter and the Core Area.

Here was a bottomless ravine.

A single ravine was actually over a thousand miles wide, and its length was even more immeasurable.

This was also a Forbidden Land of the Ten Thousand Demon Clan, filled with danger and Opportunity.

Countless powerful Yao Beasts resided here, and even Cultivators in the Emperor Realm did not dare to venture in lightly.

Deep within the Core Area, there was an Ancient Battlefield.

On the battlefield, broken Magic Treasures, fragmented skeletons, and collapsed palaces were everywhere.

The air was filled with thick Death Qi and Evil Qi.

This was the Ancient Battlefield.

Legend had it that an earth-shattering battle once took place here.

Countless powerful experts fell here, leaving behind innumerable treasures and Legacies.

Zhou Chen stood at the edge of the battlefield, feeling that terrifying aura.

"This aura… perhaps it was left behind by a battle at the Venerable Realm level."

Zhou Chen cautiously walked into the battlefield, his Divine Sense fully active, alert to everything around him.

Within the battlefield, danger was everywhere.

Some places had powerful Formations that would be instantly fatal if triggered.

Some places had terrifying Evil Qi that could corrode a Cultivator's Physical Body and Divine Soul.

And some places had powerful Yao Beasts whose strength reached the Emperor Realm or even higher.

Relying on his powerful Divine Sense and the protection of the chaos bell, Zhou Chen carefully traversed the battlefield.

Soon, he found the location of the Nirvana Sacred Lotus.

It was a deep pit, and at the bottom of the pit was a dilapidated altar.

In the center of the altar grew a lotus flower that was fiery red all over.

The lotus flower emitted a dense aura of life; it was indeed the Nirvana Sacred Lotus.

"Found it."

Just as Zhou Chen was about to go down and harvest it, he suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching.

This made Zhou Chen feel quite helpless; despite his haste, he was still caught up by the Golden Crow Demon Emperor.

Thus, Zhou Chen instantly activated the Divine Concealment Art, hiding his form behind a huge boulder.

In the next second, a golden figure descended from the sky.

It was the Golden Crow Demon Emperor.

The Golden Crow Demon Emperor landed on the edge of the deep pit, looking at the Nirvana Sacred Lotus below, his eyes shining with greedy light.

"Finally found it."

These past few days, there had been a vague premonition that made him distracted.

His son was a failure, but his Opportunity was coming through.

Although he had lost a biological son, he could still have more.

"With this Nirvana Sacred Lotus, I can Breakthrough to the Sixth Layer of the Emperor Realm. When that time comes, it will be time for the Thousand-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox to disappear as well. Consider it a funerary offering for Yan'er."

He was about to go down to harvest it when he suddenly stopped.

"Wait, it seems someone has been here."

The Golden Crow Demon Emperor frowned, his Divine Sense sweeping over the surroundings.

But Zhou Chen had already used the space-time power of the chaos bell along with the Divine Concealment Art to hide his aura, so he couldn't detect him at all.

"Forget it, perhaps I'm overthinking."

The Golden Crow Demon Emperor shook his head and jumped into the deep pit.

He arrived before the altar and was about to reach out to harvest the Nirvana Sacred Lotus.

At that moment, Zhou Chen moved.

"Great Void Eight Desolations Slash!"

Eight terrifying streaks of Sword Qi were slashed out simultaneously from eight directions, attacking the Golden Crow Demon Emperor directly.

The Golden Crow Demon Emperor's expression changed drastically.

"It's you!"

He instantly recognized Zhou Chen, and a flicker of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

"Human brat, you dare to sneak attack me!"

"Golden Crow Heaven-Burning Art—Golden Crow True Body!"

A giant Golden Crow flew out from his body, its wingspan reaching ten thousand zhang, emitting the terrifying aura of the Fourth Layer of the Emperor Realm.

The Golden Crow opened its mouth and spat out terrifying golden flames, swallowing all eight streaks of Sword Qi.

"Hmph, a mere Emperor Realm Tenth Layer dares to act insolently before me?"

The Golden Crow Demon Emperor sneered, "Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, I'll send you on your way!"

"Golden Crow Heaven-Burning Art—Burning the Heavens and Destroying the Earth!"

Terrifying golden flames descended from the sky, enveloping the entire deep pit.

The temperature of the flames was extremely high, even distorting the space itself.

Zhou Chen's expression was solemn.

"The Fourth Layer of the Emperor Realm is indeed not easy to deal with."

"However, it's not like I don't have a trump card."

He raised his hand, and the chaos bell appeared above his head.

"Chaos Heaven-Suppressing!"

The chaos bell instantly enlarged, completely enveloping Zhou Chen.

The golden flames bombarded the chaos bell but could not break through its defense.

A flash of surprise crossed the Golden Crow Demon Emperor's eyes.

"This is… the aura of a Treasure Artifact fragment. What level of Spiritual Artifact is this?!"

Zhou Chen did not answer but continued to drive the chaos bell.

"Chaos Cage!"

Terrifying space-time power erupted from the chaos bell, instantly enveloping the Golden Crow Demon Emperor.

The Golden Crow Demon Emperor's body was frozen in place, unable to move.

"Damn it! What power is this?!"

He struggled desperately, but the space-time power was too strong; he couldn't break free at all.

Zhou Chen sneered, "Golden Crow Demon Emperor, your son died at my hands; you certainly wouldn't let it go."

"Rather than waiting for you to come looking for trouble, I might as well strike first."

"Today, you shall stay here."

After saying that, he activated the final function of the chaos bell.

"Chaos Heaven-Burying!"

Terrifying Chaos power erupted from the chaos bell, turning into a pillar of destructive light that blasted directly toward the Golden Crow Demon Emperor.

The Golden Crow Demon Emperor's face changed drastically.

"Impossible! How can you, a mere Emperor Realm Tenth Layer, have such strong power?!"

He desperately pushed his Golden Crow True Body to resist.

But the power of Chaos Heaven-Burying was too strong, directly tearing the Golden Crow True Body to shreds.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion sounded, and the entire deep pit was leveled to the ground.

As the dust settled, the Golden Crow Demon Emperor lay on the ground, covered in blood.

His aura was extremely withered, having reached the point of exhaustion.

Yet Zhou Chen did not feel particularly great joy at this moment.

This move of the chaos bell was indeed fierce, but it had completely squandered the hundreds of millions of Top-Grade Spirit Stones he had previously accumulated.

In other words, Zhou Chen would not be able to replicate the feat of insta-killing a Fourth Layer of the Emperor Realm in the short term; he was simply too poor…

Zhou Chen's heart ached slightly, and his eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at the Golden Crow Demon Emperor.

"You… who exactly are you…"

The Golden Crow Demon Emperor's eyes were full of disbelief; he hadn't expected that one day he would die at the hands of a Human Race at the Emperor Realm Tenth Layer.

Zhou Chen walked up to him and said indifferently, "Don't fucking worry about who I am. In your next life, keep your eyes peeled and remember not to provoke me again."

As he finished speaking, a flash of sword light was seen.

Pfft—

The Golden Crow Demon Emperor's head flew up, his eyes full of resentment.

Rumble.

A torrential rain of blood began to fall from the sky.

"Impossible, could this be the Golden Crow Demon Emperor?"

At this time, the Thousand-Faced Nine-Tailed Fox, Bai Linger, looked at the phenomenon in the sky in disbelief, unable to calm down for a long time.

The Golden Crow Demon Emperor of the Fourth Layer of the Emperor Realm had fallen just like that at Zhou Chen's hands.

Zhou Chen looked at the Golden Crow Demon Emperor's corpse without the slightest pity.

He who kills will eventually be killed.

Moreover, the Golden Crow Demon Emperor was narrow-minded and vengeful; leaving him alive would only be a disaster.

It was better to resolve it early and be done with it.

If the Golden Crow Demon Emperor knew this in the afterlife, he would probably be so angry he'd die all over again.

You killed his son and snatched his Opportunity right in front of him, and you call him narrow-minded???
