Having children earns benefit, start competing for dominance in the world by marrying a wife-Chapter 1408 - 1098: Saint! He has ascended into Saint???
Upon hearing the voice of the Mixed Element Emperor, Emperor Yanyue finally snapped out of her shock.
She didn’t know what to say.
At this moment, Emperor Xuanming’s face was extremely gloomy, and the death qi on his body was uncontrollably spreading to other places.
He originally thought that Lu Chen was certain to die, but unexpectedly, Lu Chen’s strength was so formidable that he could break the Blood Demon Soul Devouring Technique with a single punch.
Now, what Emperor Xuanming was most worried about wasn’t just the possibility of Lu Chen becoming the Saint Heir. Judging by Lu Chen’s punch, Lu Chen seemed to have an extreme restraint against the Blood Demon Soul Devouring Technique.
If Lu Chen had shown great strength to break the Blood Demon Soul Devouring Technique, Xuanming wouldn’t have found it particularly unusual. But the key issue was that Lu Chen’s punch seemed light and casual, at most producing a wave of fist qi, with nothing else remarkable about it. freewёbnoνel.com
Emperor Xuanming couldn’t think of another reason to explain how an ordinary punch could break the Blood Demon Soul Devouring Technique, except for inherent restraint.
This left Emperor Xuanming feeling very uneasy. His main cultivation technique was the Blood Demon Soul Devouring Technique. If Lu Chen grew stronger, wouldn’t he inherently restrain him as well?
Although he still didn’t know why Lu Chen could restrain the Blood Demon Soul Devouring Technique, as long as Lu Chen demonstrated methods that could restrain it, he absolutely couldn’t allow Lu Chen to continue living.
Emperor Xuanming’s eyes exuded a chilling intent to kill. He wished he could charge into the Taoist Mysterious Small World right now and eliminate Lu Chen.
At the same time.
Inside the Taoist Mysterious Small World.
The disciples from each hall stopped their techniques after seeing Lu Chen break the Blood Demon Soul Devouring Technique with a single punch, staring directly at Lu Chen.
Those disciples who were preparing to besiege Lu Chen also stopped mid-air.
Luo Yanghui, who was entangled with Liang Zicong, also ceased his attacks. His gaze fell on Lu Chen, full of confusion.
The Blood Demon Soul Devouring Technique is an evil technique of Demon Cultivators, highly suppressive to Righteous Cultivators. That’s why he was dragging Liang Zicong, intending for Ban Yunxuan to deal with Lu Chen.
In his view, sending Ban Yunxuan to deal with Lu Chen meant a near-certain death for Lu Chen.
Unexpectedly, Lu Chen was unscathed, while Ban Yunxuan instead suffered from a backlash of his own cultivation technique.
How did Lu Chen manage this?
Why was he completely unaffected by the Blood Demon Soul Devouring Technique?
This was entirely different from what Luo Yanghui had anticipated.
Could it be that Lu Chen used the Fiery Sun Pearl?
But the Fiery Sun Pearl had already been refined by Emperor Yanyue. In others’ hands, it should only function defensively. How could it cause Ban Yunxuan to suffer a backlash?
Oh well, since Ban Yunxuan failed, he guessed he would have to take action himself.
Then, Luo Yanghui drew out a longbow that emitted a blood-red glow. The moment the bow appeared, everyone present felt an intense sense of oppression. This oppression came from the depths of the soul, making them shiver involuntarily.
The audience outside immediately began to discuss.
"It’s the Bloodthirsty Bow!"
"Why is the Bloodthirsty Bow in Luo Yanghui’s hands!"
"Emperor Xuanming actually entrusted the Bloodthirsty Bow to Luo Yanghui!"
"This time, Lu Chen is doomed!"
…
Seeing the Bloodthirsty Bow in Luo Yanghui’s hands, Emperor Yanyue’s aura erupted, "Xuanming, what do you mean by this! The Taoist Mysterious Small World is a place for comprehending the Dao, not a venue for Heavenly Mountain Hall to harm fellow disciples. How dare you give the Bloodthirsty Bow to a disciple who isn’t even a Saint!"
"Aren’t you afraid that he will be devoured and go mad from the backlash of the Bloodthirsty Bow?"
Emperor Xuanming chuckled lightly, saying, "You can give the Heavenly Rank High-Grade Fiery Sun Pearl to Lu Chen, so why can’t I lend the Bloodthirsty Bow to Luo Yanghui?"
"Yanyue, don’t you think you’re a bit too domineering?"
Emperor Yanyue replied coldly, "The Fiery Sun Pearl in Lu Chen’s hands can only serve a defensive purpose, but the Bloodthirsty Bow is an offensive magic treasure."
"You’re allowing a Heavenly Mountain Hall disciple to bring an offensive Heavenly Rank magic treasure into a place of enlightenment, what are you trying to achieve!"
Emperor Xuanming replied indifferently, "Don’t you know that the best defense is a good offense? In case anyone targets the disciples of Heavenly Mountain Hall, there’s nothing wrong with giving them an offensive magic treasure for self-defense."
While Emperor Xuanming and Emperor Yanyue clashed verbally, Luo Yanghui gathered all his spiritual power and drew the bow.
A massive blood dragon’s shadow appeared behind Luo Yanghui.
Seeing this, Liang Zicong’s face changed drastically. That was a Bloodthirsty Bow of Heavenly Rank High-Grade, Emperor Xuanming’s magic treasure.
Liang Zicong hurriedly turned and shouted at Lu Chen, "Junior Brother Lu, quickly use the Fiery Sun Pearl!!!"
The only thing that could withstand the Bloodthirsty Bow might just be another Heavenly Rank magic treasure.
However, upon seeing the Bloodthirsty Bow in Luo Yanghui’s hand, Lu Chen remained unfazed. He retrieved a longsword from his space ring.
In the next moment, the ground shook, and spiritual energy from the surroundings converged toward Lu Chen.
Witnessing this, the disciples around were once again stunned. What was Lu Chen trying to do, causing such a commotion?
Seeing that Lu Chen didn’t use the Fiery Sun Pearl but instead seemed poised to confront him head-on, Luo Yanghui sneered, then shouted, "Die!"
With those words, Luo Yanghui released the bowstring, and an arrow shot forth.
The blood dragon roared and charged toward Lu Chen.
Liang Zicong’s face changed drastically.
It’s over, it’s over…
This time Lu Chen is truly doomed.
At the sixth layer of the Returning Ruin Realm, without using the Fiery Sun Pearl, how could he possibly withstand an attack from a Heavenly Rank magic treasure.
Lu Chen is too arrogant!
In the end, his talent brought his downfall.
History is filled with tales of many Heavenly Prides whose overconfidence in their talent led them to peril without knowing to retreat, causing them to perish early.
Liang Zicong sighed deeply.
An ordinary cultivator at the ninth layer of the Returning Ruin Realm could not withstand the Bloodthirsty Bow. He had done all he could.
Just when everyone thought Lu Chen was doomed, snowflakes began to fall from the sky, and a bone-chilling wind began to blow, making the cold penetrate to the bone.
Lu Chen murmured, "Ice-Eight Level Sword!"
As soon as he spoke, eight rays of cold light flashed across the blood dragon, and the dragon shattered instantly into countless pieces, like glass.
Silence…
A dead silence enveloped the inside and outside of the Taoist Mysterious Small World.
Luo Yanghui stood with his mouth agape, his eyes bulging like a cow’s.
He even began to doubt whether he was holding a Heavenly Rank magic treasure, the Bloodthirsty Bow.
Did Lu Chen just block it?
This is impossible!
How could he possibly block an arrow from the Bloodthirsty Bow!
Seeing Luo Yanghui staring at him in disbelief, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Are your means exhausted now? If so, it’s my turn to attack."
With those words, Lu Chen’s body began to frantically absorb the surrounding spiritual energy. Immediately after, Lu Chen’s body emitted a faint golden light, and a set of golden armor appeared on the surface of Lu Chen’s body. Lu Chen’s strength rapidly increased at that moment.
Feeling the pressure exuded by Lu Chen, the disciples present were stunned.
"A Saint! He has become a Saint???"
"How could it be! Has Lu Chen truly broken through?"
"He was just at the sixth layer of the Returning Ruin Realm. How could he suddenly leap four realms!"
"No, he hasn’t broken through; he has just achieved the strength of a Saint Realm!"
