Chapter 254: Chapter 133: Divinity Transformation Remains
"You’ve got some nerve, Ghost Face!"
"How dare you take it all for yourself?"
Soul Void Master had come up with his own explanation, filling in the gaps.
Just then, three Flying Vessels, exuding a terrifying pressure that blotted out the sky, soared over the Imperial Capital and descended upon the Imperial Palace.
"Where did this little Extreme Realm rat come from?"
A soft, curious sound came from one of the Flying Vessels.
The next instant, rolling heavenly thunder descended.
At the site of the Profound Celestial Sect’s Fallen Flying Vessel, all the Extreme Cultivator Disciples screamed in agony as they were turned to charcoal by the lightning.
’There should be more...’
’Let this old man have a good look.’
From the Puppet Sect’s Flying Vessel, tens of thousands of mechanical wooden birds flew out, forming a vast, dark cloud that blotted out the sky as they swarmed forward with a piercing whistle.
Soul Void Master had been so busy fleeing for his life recently that he was completely unaware of the huge stir caused by Su Chen, the Nine-Life Celestial Pride.
He still thought the matter of the Relic Bones had been exposed and that the Masters from the Five Great Sects had come to clean house.
’The Fifth Master, Purple Sky Thunder Lord! And the Seventh Master, the Mechanical Elder! Has the matter of the Relic Bones been exposed? How did it attract so many Masters?’
’Damn it!’
’If I had known...’
’I should have let the First Demon Child come this time.’
’As for you, Ghost Face, you’re on your own!’
In that moment, Soul Void Master’s expression changed drastically. He unhesitatingly abandoned his False Core Incarnation. His true self, occupying Zhuo’s body, turned and fled from outside the Imperial City without a moment’s delay.
As for Su Chen, his eyes glinted. With a wave of his sleeve, the Burial Coffin shot out and swiftly swallowed the Yellow Robe False Core Incarnation.
’With this Incarnation in my possession, I can now track Soul Void Master’s location.’
"This tea isn’t very good."
Su Chen drank the tea and melted into the crowd on the street. ’Let them search for Extreme Cultivators. What does that have to do with me, Chu Shan?’
Soon, the tens of thousands of Thousand Mechanism Birds, having found nothing, returned to the hands of the Mechanical Elder on his Flying Vessel.
Meanwhile, Su Chen returned to the Imperial Palace. But instead of heading to the Book Collection Martial Pavilion, he walked deep into the palace grounds, finally stopping before a dilapidated Celestial Prison.
This was the secret place he had seen before.
Right here, Ghost Face had fought the Confucian Sword Immortal.
In the end, it had drawn three Demon Children into the fray, leading to the fall of a powerful Master from the Profound Celestial Sect within the borders of Daqi.
Initially, Su Chen hadn’t dared to come here. But now that he could suppress even a False Core, and had the power to protect himself against a Core Formation expert, he was qualified to investigate.
"Relic Bones, is it?"
"Let me see what you really are."
Su Chen stepped into the Celestial Prison. After some searching, he finally found a faint, ethereal gate shimmering within the rushing, turbulent waters of a subterranean Dark River in the prison’s lowest level.
Su Chen stepped through and arrived in another place. It was filled with a dense fog that felt strangely familiar to him.
Desolate, deathly silent, and somewhat cold.
A giant skeletal arm!
A strange, malevolent vine grew upon the bone, densely coiling around it.
"Green Fall and Yellow Springs!"
The words escaped Su Chen’s lips unconsciously. This place looked very familiar; he had seen something similar in Jue’s memories.
The Relic Bones... Su Chen now understood what they were.
This was a fragment of the remains of an Extreme Realm Divinity Transformation Great Cultivator!
In his World in the Palm, there was a world that looked exactly like this place.
’Another Divinity Transformation Great Cultivator...’
’And an Extreme Realm Divinity Transformation one at that!’
At this, Su Chen’s resolve faltered. He turned to leave without hesitation, wanting to return to the Dark River and go back to his peaceful life of tending to flowers and plants in the Book Collection Martial Pavilion.
In his World in the Palm, the fallen Immortal Dao Divinity Transformation, Jue, had already caused countless grudges and entanglements! He absolutely did not want to get involved in the resurrection scheme of an even more terrifying Extreme Realm Divinity Transformation...
Unfortunately, it was too late to run now.
「Far away, Beyond the Heavens.」
Upon an ancient altar, a terrifying, hundred-thousand-zhang-tall God-Demon phantom began to tremble violently. It opened its eyes.
"I can feel it. An Extreme Cultivator Disciple has found my Relic Bones, allowing me to sense them across millions of miles..."
"Hehe!"
"Oh, my disciple. Since it has come to this, offer up your life! Nourish my bone with your flesh and blood, and let my bone return to me..."
The hundred-thousand-zhang-tall, terrifying Demon God phantom roared, shaking the heavens, and revealed a savage, vicious grin.
At that very moment.
BOOM!
In this place of Green Fall and Yellow Springs, the giant skeletal arm began to tremble violently.
The next moment, as if answering a summons, it abruptly shrank down to the size of a normal person’s arm bone. It transformed into a streak of light and, along with the vine upon it, shot toward Su Chen.
"Stay back!"
Su Chen tried to unleash his One Sword Dao Technique, but his body, as if it had encountered some rare delicacy, moved faster than his mind. It opened its cavernous mouth.
And so, Su Chen... ate the Relic Bone!
"..."
Su Chen was silent for a moment.
At this moment, after eating the Relic Bone, as if he had consumed some miraculous Spiritual Pill, Su Chen’s recently stabilized Dao Foundation, which bore ten Dragon Patterns, began to surge with power.
It had originally been only one zhang in size!
In the blink of an eye, it grew to ten zhang!
One zhang signified the Foundation Establishment Initial Realm! Ten zhang was already the Foundation Establishment Middle Realm! If Su Chen had to accumulate this power on his own, it probably would have taken him countless years of arduous cultivation to get here.
’In the end, I still got caught up in the mess of another Divinity Transformation Great Cultivator’s resurrection plan...’
Su Chen felt no joy, only letting out a long, gloomy sigh.
「Far away, Beyond the Heavens.」
On the altar, led by the High Priest, the Extreme Cultivator Believers were cheering unceasingly.
"The Daoist Venerable has awakened! The Relic Bones have returned to position! He will regain the power and techniques accumulated in his past life, and soon he will sweep through half the Eastern Domain and revitalize our Extreme Dao Heaven!"
"Long live!"
"From now on, in the Eastern Domain, we Extreme Cultivators shall walk in the light once more."
The Extreme Cultivators cheered.
Even the High Priest, as powerful as a Nascent Soul, along with the Demon Children of the True Core Realm and the Guardians of the Void Core Great Realm, were all the same.
The hundred-thousand-zhang-tall Demon God phantom let out a roar of disbelief, tinged with crazed killing intent.
"What!"
"My Relic Bones? Why can’t I sense them anymore?"
"Wait."
"Who!"
"Who was it?!"
"Which fellow Divinity Transformation Daoist, also seeking rebirth, found the wrong Relic Bones and ate mine? AARGH! Give them back to me!"
In that instant, the cheering came to an abrupt halt.
At the same time, in the Daqi Imperial Palace, a young man in profound robes let out a satisfied burp and strolled leisurely out of the Celestial Prison.
