20: Chapter 20: First Level of Mortal Transformation, Mastery of the Undying Sword Body Enables Battle Against Ancient Emperors

Dead Snake Mountain Range.

"Hiss, this brat's awakened physique is so terrifying. If he doesn't fall, I'm afraid the imperial throne really has a chance of being obtained by him."

"Fortunately, I still have one Chaos Stone left on me, which can temporarily conceal the heavenly secrets of this world."

Inside the Small World independent of the ten thousand soul banner, Ming Yuan muttered to himself, "If this brat remembers a little kindness, he should lift this contract after waking up."

"Boom!"

Waves of violent power, like ocean tides, erupted from within Chu Chen's body in layers.

At this moment, Chu Fan had already reached the first layer of the Mortal Shedding realm, the Demon God Body had also completely awakened, and it seemed that another physique had also awakened within his body.

It was just suppressed by the Demon God Body. Now, he would try to see if he could trigger the other type of physique.

The next moment, the firmament changed drastically again. An extreme sword intent surged out from Chu Chen's body, shooting straight into the sky.

A phantom image of a sacred immortal sword condensed and formed; a white immortal sword stood atop countless golden chains.

Just looking at it gave one a terrifying chill, as if one would be slain by this immortal sword in the next moment.

Inside the ten thousand soul banner, Ming Yuan watched this scene, his envy already turning into jealousy.

Chu Chen opened his eyes, and the sacred immortal sword in the sky dissipated along with it. "Is this my other physique?"

"Are you trying to make it impossible for others to live? You've already awakened such a powerful physique, and now you've awakened the Indestructible Sword Body as well."

"What is the Indestructible Sword Body?" Chu Chen asked Ming Yuan.

"Brat, you actually don't even know about the Indestructible Sword Body? This is a peerless physique known for having the power to fight a Great Emperor."

"In the ancient period, there was a Great Success Indestructible Sword Body who fought against a newly enlightened Great Emperor. That battle lasted for three whole days and nights."

"At the time, many people thought that this Great Success Indestructible Sword Body might be able to break the current Great Emperor's title of invincibility."

"So, did he defeat that Great Emperor of the time?" Chu Chen asked.

Ming Yuan sighed, "This Great Success Indestructible Sword Body was defeated, and he even candidly admitted that if the newly enlightened Great Emperor were given some time to stabilize his imperial position, he would not be able to withstand three moves from him."

"Later, this Great Success Indestructible Sword Body underwent Ultimate Sublimation during the Dark Turmoil and killed three Supremes from the restricted zones single-handedly."

"What is the Dark Turmoil?" Chu Chen asked, puzzled.

"The Dark Turmoil… forget it. Your cultivation is so low that even if you understood it, what could you do? Besides, you are a Demonic Cultivator. If it really reaches that point, you might even become one of the Supremes in the restricted zones."

Seeing that Ming Yuan refused to speak, Chu Chen did not press the matter further.

"No matter what this Dark Turmoil is, anyone who blocks my path, I will collect them all into the ten thousand soul banner."

Ming Yuan said disdainfully, "Brat, do you think you can stop the Dark Turmoil by yourself? You'd better walk out of this East Xuan Empire first."

"By the way, do you know how precious the treasures I consumed were when you just awakened your physique?"

"Let me put it this way: that thing's value even exceeds a Sacred Object and is comparable to a quasi-emperor artifact. As long as you lift the contract between us, we will be even. How about that?"

"No!" Chu Chen refused flatly, "I am still very weak right now. When my realm is the same as yours, I will naturally lift this contract for you."

When Chu Chen was awakening his physique, he was able to sense the situation in the outside world, and he also knew that Ming Yuan had acted to conceal the heavenly secrets for him.

However, before his own realm could completely suppress Ming Yuan, this contract could not be lifted; with Ming Yuan's current strength, wanting to kill him would be easy.

Hearing Chu Chen's answer, Ming Yuan said angrily, "Brat, you are ungrateful. It's a loss that I even saved you."

Chu Chen responded coldly, "I have already promised you that when my realm surpasses yours, I will naturally release you. Moreover, if you don't save me, if I die, you will die too."

"You… you brat are playing the rascal. I finally escaped the Yuanmo Secret Realm, and now, it's great, I've fallen into your hands again. Why is my life, Ming Yuan, so bitter!"

Over the next few days, Chu Chen discovered that he could switch between the Demon God Body and the Indestructible Sword Body at will.

When switching to the Indestructible Sword Body, he was the king of the sword path; all sword cultivators in the world would have to bow down to him. Furthermore, his understanding of the sword was as if it were innate, and he had a feeling that as long as he held a sword in his hand, he was invincible.

But when switching to the Demon God Body, Chu Chen vaguely felt that he was somewhat falling into madness.

However, his physical body would become indestructible, and he could also burn demonic blood to increase his cultivation by one major realm.

This effect could only be maintained for half an hour. Once the half hour passed, Chu Chen's entire body would be in a state of depletion.

Fortunately, the Demon God Body could continuously generate demonic blood, so Chu Chen did not need to worry about running out of demonic blood.

As for the generation of phenomena, Chu Chen had not discovered a single one.

Ming Yuan saw Chu Chen's confusion and said, "Your first physique is perhaps too powerful, so it is normal that the phenomena have not awakened for the time being."

"As for this Indestructible Sword Body, it inherently has no phenomena. So-called sword cultivators cultivate the Sword Heart. With one sword, one breaks ten thousand laws; no matter what the phenomenon is, it can be broken with one sword."

"You brat, you are truly formidable. Possessing these two great physiques, even in the youth of an ancient Great Emperor, they might not necessarily be able to surpass you."

"However, cultivating two peerless physiques at the same time, I don't know how many resources it will cost. Just the Indestructible Sword Body alone would require exhausting the resources of an ancient sect, let alone the other one, which is I don't know how many times stronger than the Indestructible Sword Body."

"If either of these physiques were on you, it might be good fortune, but if both are gathered together, that is misfortune. The resources required are simply too vast."

"Isn't it just resources? If I don't have them, don't others have them?"

"Even if the heavenly treasures are all used up, aren't there still so many living beings?"

Chu Chen said, his eyes nonchalant.

Hearing this, even Ming Yuan gasped.

"You really are born to be a Demonic Cultivator. Do as you please; I only hope that when the time comes, you don't forget what you promised me."

Kuidou City.

This time, Chu Chen did not wear a mask again, but walked openly towards Kuidou City.

"Stop."

Two soldiers stopped Chu Chen, but when they saw Chu Chen's face, their voices trembled.

"Chu… Chu Chen! Quickly go and notify the City Lord!"

As the words fell, blood splattered, and the heads of the two soldiers rolled onto the ground.

Chu Chen entered Kuidou City with ease.

In an instant, a spiritual sword tore through the air, stabbing towards him at high speed.

When the spiritual sword approached within one meter of Chu Chen, it seemed to freeze, and then it shattered apart.

"Chu Chen, oh Chu Chen, there is a path to heaven that you do not take, and you insist on coming to hell where there is no gate."

"It's you!" Chu Chen's eyes surged with killing intent as he looked at the blonde youth.

"That's right, it's me. I didn't expect you to still remember me! When you were kicked out of the Tianxuan Sect, I was right there. It's a pity I couldn't kill you and even let you recover your cultivation."

"But it's fine; today, Kuidou City will be your burial ground."

"Oh? I forgot, you don't think Lu Ling will come to save you again, do you? Hahaha, let me tell you, Lu Ling has already been transferred out of the Xuanhuang Chamber of Commerce. Now, no one can stand up for you."

"If you are sensible, kneel down obediently and hand over the Nine Dragons Heavenly Heart Seal, and I can leave your corpse intact."
