47: Chapter 47 Mysterious Youth

"Brother Chu!!" Hua Xuan came to Chu Chen's side, looking at the ghastly white bones on the ground, and inexplicably felt a chill.

"Xuan'er, protect me. These are just appetizers; there are far more cultivators wanting to fight for this Blood Induction Curse than this."

Chu Chen prepared to refine the source energy fed back by the ten thousand soul banner.

However, Chu Chen did not know that a mysterious figure was hiding in the shadows at this moment.

Quietly watching his every move.

Hua Xuan lightly raised her jade hand and deftly formed a hand seal, and instantly, a barrier of cyan light suddenly appeared.

This light, like a layer of transparent shield, tightly surrounded her and Chu Chen.

Subsequently, Chu Chen devoted himself wholeheartedly to refining the source energy fed back by the ten thousand soul banner.

As time passed, the source energy continuously fed back from within the ten thousand soul banner...

...gathered like a trickling stream into a powerful torrent of energy, which was gradually absorbed and refined by Chu Chen.

"Boom!"

Chu Chen's First Cave Heaven realm began to break through, and in just a moment, his realm rose to the Third Cave Heaven.

"Swish!"

Suddenly, the surrounding space seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand.

Ripples and fluctuations arose. Just at this moment, a piercingly cold and incredibly sharp sword light...

...rushed over like lightning, aiming straight for Chu Chen's vital points!

Hua Xuan, who had been maintaining a state of vigilance, sensed the arrival of danger at the first moment.

She unhesitatingly unleashed a mysterious and powerful secret technique, instantly mobilizing all her strength to gather between her palms.

And slammed a palm strike fiercely toward that sharp sword!

A vigorous and majestic aura surged out, colliding with the sword light and emitting a deafening boom that seemed as if it would tear the entire space apart.

"Who is it? Get out here!!" Hua Xuan shouted softly.

Chu Chen opened his eyes and said in a cold voice, "A rat hiding its head and tail, only daring to hide in the darkness and launch sneak attacks."

"Hahaha, I am no rat. I just wanted to see what level the so-called number two on the heavenly pride list is at."

"Turns out to be a coward hiding behind a woman!" A youth walked out of the space and said to Chu Chen with disdain.

"Are you also here to seize the Blood Induction Curse?" Chu Chen said, his eyes chilling.

The youth sneered, "No, no, no. I just think this Blood Induction Curse is not safe with you. Why not hand it over to me, how about that?"

"I can make better use of this thing, what do you say, Chu Chen?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen said disdainfully, "If you want it, come and take it. But I would like to see if you have the life to take it." Chu Chen responded unceremoniously.

"Is that so? Then I must have a taste of the so-called strongest phenomenon in history, the Chaos Seed Golden Lotus."

As he finished speaking, nine Cave Heavens appeared behind the youth, and powerful strength surged out.

Chu Chen slowly stood up, and behind him, a deep, dark, and massive black Cave Heaven also emerged.

This Cave Heaven seemed like an endless dark abyss, emitting a palpitating aura.

After witnessing this, the youth's face showed astonishment, and he said incredulously, "I truly didn't expect it! You actually completed the feat of merging the nine great Cave Heavens."

"It seems today's battle will be exceptionally intense. I can finally have a good fight."

"Hahaha, come fight, Chu Chen! Let me see one of the strongest phenomena in history, the Chaos Seed Golden Lotus."

As Chu Chen stood up, the surrounding atmosphere instantly became tense. An unparalleled pressure radiated from his body.

Making people feel a strong sense of shock.

The youth, however, was completely unafraid, his eyes sparkling with excitement, seemingly full of anticipation for the upcoming battle.

The two stood facing each other, their violent auras colliding.

A terrifying aura of destruction radiated from the youth, and lightning flickered on his body.

Streams of purple lightning flickered and danced around him, forming a dazzling shield of lightning.

These lightning bolts danced like spirit snakes, occasionally emitting crackling sounds, displaying the powerful energy they contained.

With a thought from the youth, those lightning bolts suddenly gathered into a massive ball of lightning, hovering above his head and releasing endless pressure.

Seeing this, flames burned on Chu Chen's body, and a giant of flames condensed behind him.

This was when he killed Liu Ye; his Demon God Body devoured Liu Ye's Great Sun Flame Body.

Now, he was also equivalent to possessing the Great Sun Flame Body.

Under Chu Chen's control, the giant, burning with raging flames, was like a moving volcano.

Carrying endless pressure and a scorching aura, it pounced ferociously toward the youth.

Facing such terrifying might, the youth only let out a cold snort with a calm face.

Then, with a wave of his arm, a massive ball of lightning flickering with blinding light left his hand. It struck directly toward the flame giant at an astonishing speed!

The terrifying purple lightning instantly defeated the flame giant.

Seeing this, Chu Chen's massive black Cave Heaven behind him rotated with a boom.

The spiritual energy for a hundred miles around was instantly drained, and in an instant, an endless sea of fire manifested, annihilating the countless purple lightning balls.

"Great Sun Flame Body, your physique is actually the Great Sun Flame Body. If that's the case, how could you be ranked second on the heavenly pride list?"

"Could it be that you have more than one physique?"

The youth looked at Chu Chen and asked in confusion.

"You don't need to worry about what physique I have; you only need to know! You are going to die."

The next moment, the endless sea of fire pressed horizontally toward the youth.

However, the youth smiled faintly and said, "Although the Great Sun Flame Body is one of the three thousand physiques, in my opinion, it is nothing more than mediocre."

The next instant, the surrounding environment began to change rapidly, and streaks of thunder filled the entire heaven and earth.

"Purple Heaven Divine Lightning!" the youth shouted.

The next instant, a palpitating purple lightning light burst out from the void.

It seemed as if it would tear the entire heaven and earth apart. This purple lightning roared like a giant dragon, carrying endless power of destruction, instantly piercing through that raging sea of fire.

In an instant, the flames were forcibly torn apart, and countless sparks flew everywhere.

The originally scorching and violent sea of fire was shattered under the impact of this powerful force.

Turning into specks of ash drifting in the air.

But that purple divine lightning did not stop its rampage, continuing to speed toward the distance, destroying everything in its path.

Looking at the purple divine lightning raging toward him, Chu Chen sighed softly, "This Great Sun Flame Body is, after all, still a bit lacking when facing this youth."

"Chaos Seed Golden Lotus!" Chu Chen shouted softly.

A golden lotus bloomed before Chu Chen's eyes, blocking the purple divine lightning.

The next moment, countless strands of chaos energy burst forth from the golden lotus, easily shattering the purple divine lightning.

However, it wasn't over yet; the chaos energy pressed horizontally toward the youth.

The youth's expression changed, and the purple divine lightning condensed into a barrier to block the chaos energy.

"Crack," the barrier formed by the purple divine lightning shattered.

The youth said in disbelief, "How is this possible!!!"
