121: Chapter 121 Rebirth and Resurrection: The Sun Emperor's Intentions

The entire Nine Provinces are divided into Xuan Province, Tian Province, Yuan Province, and the Extreme North Hanling Province; these five are where the human race resides.

Of the remaining four, three are territories of the demon race, and the other is a forbidden zone.

——The Demonic Mist Forest Sea

Deep within the Qingxuan Holy Land, a bright red flame burned fiercely.

"The Nirvana Fire, endless and eternal!!"

In an instant, the cry of a phoenix resounded through the firmament, and the next moment, a phoenix burning with bright red flames soared out.

Seeing the bright red phoenix dance twice in the sky, it slowly descended and transformed into a peerless beauty.

"Chu Chen, you didn't expect this, did you? I didn't die, and I even accidentally awakened the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix divine ability."

"Once I find you, you will surely die."

The person speaking was none other than Leng Qingfeng, who had been killed by Chu Chen's sword.

At this moment, she was undergoing rebirth through nirvana, and her cultivation realm had broken through to the Saint Realm.

After Leng Qingfeng awakened the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix divine ability, some memories emerged in her mind.

The Ancient Heavenly Phoenix was a creature from outside the Nine Provinces and was extremely mysterious, and Leng Qingfeng was a descendant of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix.

If she could undergo nirvana three times, she would possess battle power comparable to a Great Emperor.

"Chu Chen, I never expected that while I died because of you, I also gained fortune because of you. Now that I have stepped into the Saint Realm, once I find you, you will surely die."

"Hee hee hee~ 'surely die'? The Chu Chen you speak of is already capable of easily slaying Ninth Stage Quasi-Emperor existences."

"As for you, a mere Saint Realm cultivator who just broke through, Chu Chen could extinguish you with a single glance."

Abruptly, a sinister voice rang out not far from Leng Qingfeng.

Hearing this, Leng Qingfeng looked around vigilantly, her Saintly Might erupting and sweeping across her surroundings.

The next moment, the figure of Zhongli Xue slowly walked out.

"I didn't expect that in these Nine Provinces, I would be able to see a descendant of the Ancient Heavenly Phoenix who has experienced atavism."

"How about this? I will give you a chance to submit to me, and while you're at it, tell me about Chu Chen."

"I can allow you to rise rapidly, and even help you achieve the status of a Great Emperor."

Leng Qingfeng looked at the person before her with extreme vigilance, her Annihilation Flame instantly condensing into a terrifying fire spear.

It pierced through space, thrusting toward Zhongli Xue.

However, the next moment, Zhongli Xue nonchalantly raised her jade hand and easily flicked away the fire spear formed by the Annihilation Flame.

"Swish."

Behind Zhongli Xue, four immortal swords of different colors suddenly appeared, each emitting an extremely terrifying power.

"Who exactly are you!!" Leng Qingfeng's eyes were filled with shock. Her full-force attack, condensed with her Saint Realm power, had been neutralized by this woman before her just like that.

Her cultivation realm must be above her own; she was likely an existence above the Fifth Stage Saint Realm.

"Who I am is not important. What is important is that you submit to me and become my mount, otherwise, you will have no choice but to die."

Zhongli Xue's voice was devoid of emotion. As the four immortal swords manifested behind her, one of them flew out with a boom.

The power emanating from the sword's blade instantly imprisoned Leng Qingfeng in place.

The immortal sword hovered above her head.

"Of course, you can choose not to submit, but I would like to see if you can still be reborn from the flames."

Seeing this, Leng Qingfeng gritted her teeth and said, "I choose to submit!!"

Although she said that, in her heart, she was thinking of finding an opportunity to escape.

Hearing this, Zhongli Xue withdrew the immortal sword.

"That's right. Rest assured, following me will definitely not leave you at a disadvantage."

"I can kill Chu Chen for you, and I can even help you attain the Dao as a Great Emperor of this era, or even take you out of the Nine Provinces."

Zhongli Xue's emotionless voice sounded.

"But before that, you must tell me about Chu Chen...!!"

"For example, you seem to come from the future; what kind of person did you see Chu Chen as in the future...!!"

——

"The Demon Court! It's the people from the Demon Court, everyone run!!"

Along the way, the members of the Demon Court were like bloodthirsty butchers; wherever they passed, wails filled the fields, and the people were plunged into misery.

Thousands of mountains were covered in endless white bones, and blood flowed like rivers, converging into a sea of blood that stained the earth red.

However, not all factions chose to sit and wait for death. Some factions, seeing that they could not withstand the might of the Demon Court, developed thoughts of defecting and begged to join the Demon Court.

Unfortunately, for these factions that voluntarily offered their allegiance, Chu Chen did not hold them in any regard at all.

In the current Demon Court, any disciple pulled out at random had a cultivation at the Cave-Heaven Realm or above.

By comparison, these factions coming to defect were simply too weak and offered no assistance to the Demon Court; they were only fit to be turned into fertilizer.

The Demon Court swept all before it!! And the direction they were heading was toward the immortal power, the Ancient Zhong Clan.

"Boom!!"

A sudden thunderclap exploded in the firmament, and the Solar Holy Emperor suddenly manifested.

He arrived instantly opposite Chu Chen.

Chu Chen frowned. Although this person's aura was at the Quasi-Emperor Realm, it gave him a very strange feeling.

"You are Chu Chen?" the person opposite asked.

"Ninth Stage Quasi-Emperor, but the aura you give me seems to be above the Ninth Stage Quasi-Emperor, yet you are not a Great Emperor."

"You must have come out of a forbidden zone, right!!"

Chu Chen's voice rang out. Even knowing that the person before him was a Supreme of the forbidden zone, he did not show the slightest hint of fear.

In fact, a faint fighting spirit was gathering around his body.

"You guessed correctly; I did indeed come from a forbidden zone."

Hearing this, Chu Chen smiled indifferently: "What's this? Even you bunch of cowardly old things have come out? It seems the Imperial Road is about to appear, and you can no longer hold yourselves back."

The Solar Holy Emperor sized up Chu Chen, then a purple wheel manifested and instantly enveloped this area of the world.

It isolated the divine senses of the Supremes who were secretly peeking.

"Rest assured, I did not come to attack you, and I am unable to do so anyway."

"I have come to make a deal with you; how about it?" the Solar Holy Emperor said.

"A deal?" Hearing the word 'deal', Chu Chen immediately became interested.

"Tell me then, what kind of deal?"

Hearing this, the Solar Holy Emperor transmitted his voice: "You help me kill the other Supremes in the forbidden zones, and I will help you step onto the Imperial Throne; how about that?"

"Killing Supremes, interesting. I didn't expect you bunch of old things to have a day of infighting," Chu Chen responded.

"Hehe... It has never been peaceful within the forbidden zones. Every Supreme hopes for the death of other Supremes so they can devour their essence and blood to replenish themselves and extend their longevity."

"I can agree to this matter, but you must also agree to one thing for me."

Hearing this, the Solar Holy Emperor responded: "What?"

"Join me in initiating the Dark Turmoil!!" Chu Chen said nonchalantly.

He seemed to be speaking of a trivial matter.

"Hahaha!! The Dark Turmoil. I have been observing you these past few days, but I did not expect that even though you haven't reached that stage yet, you are already so ruthless."

"However...!! I agree to it!!"

"When you break through to the Quasi-Emperor realm, I will come to find you again."

As the Solar Holy Emperor's voice fell, the purple wheel in the firmament returned to his hand, and he tore through the void and disappeared from where he was.
