Chapter 415: Immortal Emperor Sword Intent, Terrifying Improvement

Half an hour later.

Zhou Chen opened his eyes, and a gleam of Sword Intent flashed through them.

He had successfully received the Wu Ling Immortal King's Sword Intent, but because the Immortal King Sword Intent was too vast, he had not yet had time to absorb it.

Furthermore…

Just then, the System's notification sound rang out.

【Congratulations to the Host for successfully snatching Yun Xiaotian's Opportunity!】

【Triggered a ten-thousand-fold critical return!】

【Congratulations to the Host for obtaining: Immortal Emperor Sword Intent!】

Zhou Chen closed his eyes tightly, and the Qi Sea within his body rumbled and trembled as if the Universe were just beginning to open!

The moment that wisp of Immortal Emperor Sword Intent touched his Sea of Consciousness, it suddenly erupted with ten thousand zhang of sharpness.

If anyone were to see this scene, their jaws would surely drop in shock.

This was the manifestation of Sword Intent, a Domain belonging solely to an Immortal Emperor.

It wasn't over yet; this Immortal Emperor Sword Intent actually condensed into the phantom of a giant sword spanning the galaxy within his Divine Court acupoint.

It was precisely the qingping sword with the imperial dao imprint that Zhou Chen had condensed earlier.

Now, it should be called an Immortal Dao Imprint.

The spine of the sword was engraved with mysterious ancient Inscriptions, and as the blade pulsed, even the Void Realm was sliced into countless cracks.

"Swallow — for me!"

Following Zhou Chen's low roar, the Wu Ling Sword Intent that was originally meant to be forcibly "planted" within his Sea of Consciousness struggled frantically at this moment.

However, under the pressure of the Immortal Emperor, it shattered piece by piece, and the Sword Intent instantly turned into fragments, falling into the Sea of Consciousness to become nourishment for the Azure Lotus Immortal Dao Imprint —

Clang!!!

Behind Zhou Chen, nine sun totems instantly appeared, and with a slight tremor, it seemed as if the stars in the sky were about to fall down.

The projection of the Wu Ling Immortal King had not yet dissipated, but at this moment, its spine was forcibly bent; this was the crushing pressure from the Immortal Emperor Sword Intent!

"Immortal King Sword Intent? No… this is…"

The Immortal King projection's pupils shook violently as he watched, unable to speak, as a Dharma Idol of the Immortal Emperor, with its head touching the thirty-third heaven, rose behind the young man.

"Carrying the Immortal Emperor Sword Intent with a mortal body?!"

"This… how is this possible?!"

He looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief.

The improvement of Sword Intent requires countless years of hard cultivation and enlightenment.

Yet Zhou Chen had only used half an hour to not only accept the Wu Ling Sword Intent but also comprehend an Immortal Emperor-level Sword Intent; where is the logic in that?

This was simply inconceivable.

The Wu Ling Immortal King took a deep look at Zhou Chen: "You are indeed the chosen one."

"This seat did not misjudge you."

"Your future…"

A hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes: "Will surely surpass this seat."

"Cultivate well."

"In the future…"

"Perhaps you can reach the realm of the Immortal Emperor, or even higher."

After speaking, his projection slowly dissipated.

Zhou Chen stood in the center of the hall, feeling the surging power within his body.

The terrifying Immortal Emperor Sword Intent had caused his combat power to leap qualitatively.

Now, he could already challenge a Cultivator at the Quasi-Immortal Realm Fifth Layer.

He was even confident in fighting a Cultivator at the First Layer of True Immortal Realm.

Zhou Chen sneered: "I wonder if that old dog, Venerable Yun, has washed his neck clean yet."

Zhou Chen turned and left the Inheritance Hall.

The Secret Realm would not close for some time.

He planned to take this Opportunity to explore the Secret Realm thoroughly and see if there were any other treasures.

—

On the outskirts of the Secret Realm.

The moment Yun Xiaotian's Life Token shattered, Venerable Yun's expression changed drastically.

Immediately, tears streamed down his face: "Xiaotian! Who could it be! My poor son…"

It turned out that they were not just master and Disciple, but actually father and son, a secret rarely known within the Zixia Sect.

Although Venerable Yun did not know who had killed Yun Xiaotian.

He still locked onto Zhou Chen as the primary suspect immediately.

Regardless of whether it was Zhou Chen, he had to send him on his way to accompany Yun Xiaotian in death.

It was a case of stumbling upon the truth by mistake.

As for the Sect's confinement order, who cared about that?

Venerable Yun's figure flashed and disappeared from where he stood.

—

Zhou Chen had just walked out of the Inheritance Hall when he felt a terrifying aura lock onto him.

"Hmm?"

Zhou Chen's expression changed.

This aura…

It had actually reached the First Layer of True Immortal Realm.

"It's Venerable Yun…"

A look of solemnity flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes: "I didn't expect him to actually come."

He thought to himself: "Venerable Yun was confined for three months by the Sect Master and was not allowed to leave."

"I didn't expect him to dare to violate the Sect's rules; with his connections, it would be easy to bypass the Sect and enter the Secret Realm…"

Just then, Venerable Yun's figure appeared in mid-air.

"Zhou Chen."

Venerable Yun sneered: "This seat today…"

A hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes: "Will make you pay with your life!"

"Venerable Yun."

Zhou Chen said indifferently: "As a Guest Elder of the Sect, are you actually attacking a Disciple inside the Secret Realm?"

"Are you not afraid of punishment from the Sect?"

Venerable Yun sneered: "Punishment?"

"This is the Secret Realm; it does not fall under the jurisdiction of the Zixia Sect."

"The Sect cannot manage what I do here."

"Furthermore…"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes: "As long as I kill you and destroy the evidence."

"Who would know that you were killed by me?"

"By then…"

"I will just say that you were killed by the Yao Beast or Restrictions in the Secret Realm."

"The Sect will have nothing to say."

Zhou Chen's heart sank.

It seemed that Venerable Yun had already made up his mind to kill him.

A flash of crazy Battle Intent appeared in Zhou Chen's eyes: "Then come, you old dog."

"Let me see just how strong the First Layer of True Immortal Realm really is."

Venerable Yun sneered: "Seeking death."

Without any wasted words, he raised his hand and slapped toward Zhou Chen.

"Cloud Heaven Extinguishing the World!"

The terrifying palm force descended from the sky, containing the power to destroy everything.

The power of this palm was far superior to the Immortal King talisman used by Yun Xiaotian earlier.

Zhou Chen's expression was solemn.

"Void Destruction!"

He activated the Cloud Heaven Sword, combined with the Immortal Emperor Sword Intent, and unleashed his strongest sword strike.

Whoosh —

A brilliant gleam of sword light shot into the sky, carrying the terrifying pressure of the Immortal Emperor Sword Intent.

Boom —

The two forces collided in the air, erupting with a deafening roar.

The terrifying energy fluctuations spread in all directions, and the ground for thousands of miles instantly collapsed.

Venerable Yun's expression changed.

"What?!"

He looked at Zhou Chen in disbelief.

The power of this sword strike had actually blocked his full-strength attack at the First Layer of True Immortal Realm.

"How is this possible?"

Venerable Yun gritted his teeth: "You are only at the Quasi-Immortal Realm Fifth Layer, how could you block my attack?"

Zhou Chen's lips curled into a sneer.

"Venerable Yun, your son died at my hands."

Venerable Yun's pupils shrank.

"What?!"

A hint of madness flashed in his eyes: "What did you say?!"

Zhou Chen said indifferently: "Yun Xiaotian died at my hands."

"And…"

He looked at Venerable Yun: "You are going to accompany him soon too."

"Bastard!"

Venerable Yun was completely enraged.

He erupted with the full pressure of the First Layer of True Immortal Realm, and the terrifying aura swept through the entire Secret Realm.

"Zhou Chen!"

Venerable Yun's eyes were full of killing intent: "I will extract your soul and refine your spirit, making you wish you were dead!"

"Cloud Heaven Extinguishing the World!"

He formed seals with both hands, and a giant palm that covered the sky descended from above.

This palm contained all of Venerable Yun's anger and killing intent.

Its power was several times stronger than before.

Zhou Chen's expression was solemn.

He took a deep breath, and the Azure Lotus Creation Body within his body began to operate.

Boom —

A mysterious power erupted from within Zhou Chen's body.

His aura began to climb steadily.

Crack —
