115: Chapter 115 Chu Long Breaks Through to the Saint Realm

"Emperor Wushi?"

"Is the 'Outside Realm' you mentioned beyond the Nine Provinces?"

Chu Chen took the dark stone from Ye Shenji's hand and examined it carefully, but he found nothing unusual.

"Emperor Wushi is not from the Nine Provinces, but his legend has spread throughout the entire Outside Realm," Ye Shenji said with a look of admiration.

"Forget it, I won't make things difficult for you!!" Qin Jun calmly stored the dark stone into the Small World.

"As long as you serve the Demon Court, we can consider this matter settled. How about it?"

Hearing this, Ye Shenji flatly refused, "No, I cannot join the Demon Court. I still need to rebuild the Underworld."

"I'm sorry, Brother Chu, I cannot agree to this!!"

"Ye Shenji, do you think I'm easy to talk to?" Instantly, Chu Chen's voice became incredibly cold.

Those crimson eyes were soul-stirring, with golden flames reflecting in his pupils.

"Hehe, Brother Chu, you won't be able to stop me if I want to leave."

However, just as he finished speaking, two figures suddenly appeared beside Ye Shenji.

The moment he saw these two figures, Ye Shenji's eyes filled with immense shock.

"This... how did you do it? It's impossible!!"

"How could they have come back to life?"

Ye Shenji said in surprise, "Wait, there's no life force."

"Well? Do you still want to leave now?"

"Or perhaps you'd like to test how hard their fists are," Chu Chen threatened.

These two figures were the Immortal Elder and Dao Yuanzi.

They had now been completely refined into puppets by the demon god mysterious coffin.

Furthermore, they retained 100% of their former combat power. This meant Chu Chen now had two more quasi-emperor experts by his side, and they were completely obedient to him.

However, the system defined the demon god mysterious coffin as being of the quasi-emperor rank.

But Chu Chen knew that the demon god mysterious coffin was definitely not just at the quasi-emperor rank; it might even surpass the Emperor rank, and there was a great terror dwelling within it.

"Sigh, Brother Chu, what are you saying?!"

"I was just joking with you just now. It's your fault for being so serious!!"

Ye Shenji immediately changed his attitude and looked at Chu Chen with a smile.

"Since you have extended such a warm invitation, Brother Chu, I shall accept. From this day forth, I, Ye Shenji, am a member of the Demon Court."

"Call me by my name. Don't add 'Little' to it; it sounds terrible," Chu Chen said.

"Little Chu... Brother Chu!!"

"Since Brother Chu doesn't like the 'Little' part, I'll just call you Brother Chu from now on."

"You said you want to rebuild the Underworld. I can give you that chance. In time, a faction under the Demon Court can be renamed the Underworld."

Chu Chen looked at Ye Shenji with cold eyes.

"However, since you've joined the Demon Court, I must have a reason to trust you."

Chu Chen had considered planting a Demon Seed directly into Ye Shenji's body, but he wasn't sure if Ye Shenji had other means to escape.

"Brother Chu, I can swear an oath upon the Great Dao. I am absolutely sincere about joining the Demon Court."

"Brother Chu has already promised me a faction to rebuild the Underworld, and I, Ye Shenji, know how to be content."

After saying this, Ye Shenji glanced at the two figures beside him.

"I think you're just afraid of these two puppets," Chu Chen exposed him mercilessly.

—

Within seven days, all the Demon Court disciples who were away returned one after another.

Chu Chen took half of the resources collected from killing enemies and destroying Holy Lands and distributed them.

Standing before him was a blood-colored figure—the Indestructible Blood Kui of the Hualing Sect.

After several days of research, Chu Chen discovered that the Indestructible Blood Kui could exist in any form.

It could turn into armor or a blood sword—whatever Chu Chen imagined.

The Indestructible Blood Kui would transform into whatever Chu Chen desired.

Not only that, but Chu Chen also let the ten thousand demons immortal devouring sword devour all the magical treasures he had obtained.

By now, the ten thousand demons immortal devouring sword had fully grown to the level of a quasi-emperor artifact.

A terrifying Demonic Power was contained within the blade, and it seemed as though this Demonic Power was nurturing something.

*Swoosh*

In the next moment, a blood-red light streaked across the sky, rapidly approaching Chu Chen.

Seeing this, Chu Chen gave a light wave of his arm, and the blood-red light was instantly pulled into his grasp from across the distance.

["Lord Demon Lord, I am Xiang Nantian. Using your name, we successfully entered the Huayuan Holy Land and even gave the Holy Son of the Azure Dragon Holy Land a good beating.

However, we later discovered that Saintess Chu Lingxuan was being imprisoned, so we immediately launched a rescue. We didn't expect the Huayuan Holy Land to have several Saints.

The Saint-level puppets that Lord Demon Lord provided were destroyed by the Saints of the Huayuan Holy Land.

Because of our interference, the marriage alliance between the Huayuan Holy Land and the Azure Dragon Holy Land has been moved forward.

In ten days, Saintess Chu Lingxuan will be married into the Azure Dragon Holy Land. Please come quickly, Lord Demon Lord, otherwise we may not be able to protect Saintess Chu Lingxuan."]

Ten days would be enough. Chu Chen prepared to increase his strength first.

After all, the resources he currently possessed were immense—enough to support the resources needed for the Demon God Body's cultivation to reach the Ninth Level of the Saint Realm without any issues.

Moreover, once he reached the Ninth Level of the Saint Realm and combined it with the divine abilities of the Demon God Body...

...Chu Chen would be the number one person beneath the Great Emperor, and could even be called the strongest expert in the Nine Provinces.

"Xiao Hei!!" Chu Chen sent a voice transmission.

In the next moment, Xiao Hei's figure appeared before Chu Chen.

"Young Master, you called for me."

"Yes." Chu Chen nodded, and then two figures appeared beside Xiao Hei.

They were two Saint-level puppets—corpses that Chu Chen had collected after killing the Saints of the Zhong Clan.

"Take them with you to the Huayuan Holy Land. Xiang Nantian and Hua Yuanzi are also there."

"While you're at it, see who it was that destroyed the Saint-level puppet I gave to Xiang Nantian."

"Kill them, and then give the Azure Dragon Holy Son another beating," Chu Chen said.

"Yes, Young Master. Xiao Hei obeys your command!!"

With that, Xiao Hei withdrew along with the two Saint-level puppets.

In the next moment, space cracked open, and Chu Chen reached a hand inside.

Chu Long was then pulled over by Chu Chen.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!" Chu Long cried out in alarm. Just moments ago, a large black hand had suddenly grabbed him.

Someone who could tear through the void and snatch him across endless space was bound to be a Saint-level expert.

"Alright, stop shouting. It's me," Chu Chen's voice rang out.

Hearing this, Chu Long finally stopped struggling.

"Master, why is it you?"

The moment he saw Chu Chen, Chu Long instantly behaved himself.

"You scared me to death! I thought some old monster had taken a liking to my handsome face and wanted to kidnap me. I didn't expect it to be Master."

"Now I can relax."

"Ninth Level of the Sendai Realm? You haven't wasted the resources I gave you," Chu Chen said softly.

"With the resources Master provided, I, Chu Long, didn't dare to slack off for a single moment, practicing day and night. Now, I've finally met Master's expectations and reached the Ninth Level of the Sendai Realm."

As he spoke, Chu Long even managed to squeeze out two tears while looking at Chu Chen.

"Enough, stop acting. I called you here today to help you break through to the Saint Realm. Otherwise, it would be embarrassing for me to ride you out."

Chu Long was undoubtedly happy to hear the first half of the sentence, but the second half was a bit heart-stabbing. What did he mean by it being embarrassing to ride him out?

I'm freaking descendant of the Heavenly Dragon! I have a high chance of evolving into a Heavenly Dragon.
