Chapter 620 - 619: The Slacking Big Black Dog! Xuanyuan Changfeng Finally Appears
Chapter 620: Chapter 619: The Slacking Big Black Dog! Xuanyuan Changfeng Finally Appears
"What’s the method?" Chu Sheng asked urgently.
"A blood sacrifice of all living things. Using the flesh and souls of hundreds of millions of beings as an offering to deceive the heavens, thereby evading the detection and suppression of the Forbidden God Law."
Immortal Venerable Shi Xi’s voice turned cold.
Chu Sheng was taken aback. "If a blood sacrifice can grant divinity," he asked, confused, "wouldn’t the Sakura Ancient God have used this method to restore itself to the Divine Realm long ago?"
"There are two extremely demanding prerequisites for using this method," Immortal Venerable Shi Xi explained.
"First, for at least a century before their ascension to the Divine Realm, the person’s true body must remain completely hidden, their aura utterly undetectable by the heavens."
"Second, one needs a Fierce Beast possessing an Emperor Realm Bloodline. At the very moment of their apotheosis, a special Secret Technique must be used to draw the Forbidden God Law’s attention, making the beast take the brunt of the Law’s backlash on their behalf."
’It all adds up!’
Chu Sheng had a flash of insight.
’No wonder Xuanyuan Changfeng’s true body hasn’t been seen in a full hundred years.’
’No wonder the Xuanyuan Family spent countless resources to raise an Archaic Giant Armored Kun.’
"Immortal Venerable, from what you’re saying, does this mean if I just kill this Archaic Giant Armored Kun, Xuanyuan Changfeng won’t be able to ascend to the Divine Realm?" Chu Sheng’s eyes brightened as he asked quickly.
"That is correct." Immortal Venerable Shi Xi nodded, then hesitated. "However..."
"However what?" Chu Sheng pressed, his curiosity piqued.
"It’s nothing." Immortal Venerable Shi Xi shook their head.
’Even the most heinous villain would not resort to such a depraved method.’
Chu Sheng was about to press further.
Just then, a deafening roar suddenly erupted from the direction of the lake.
He quickly withdrew his consciousness and looked toward the lake.
Above the lake, two massive figures were colliding with frantic intensity.
The big black dog and the Archaic Giant Armored Kun—two Emperor Realm powerhouses—were locked in a battle so intense it seemed to turn heaven and earth upside down, eclipsing the sun and moon.
Terrifying shockwaves of Energy continuously slammed against the Space Barrier.
The entire Barrier shook violently, looking as if it could shatter at any moment.
If not for the Barrier’s existence,
the entire Xuanyuan estate would have already been razed to the ground by the aftershocks of the two Emperor Realm experts’ battle.
"Blackie, pin it down! Don’t let it get away!" Chu Sheng yelled toward the Barrier.
At the same time, he raised a foreclaw and used [Realm-Breaking Claw], easily tearing open the Space Barrier and slipping inside.
"Are you here to get yourself killed?!"
Seeing Chu Sheng enter, the big black dog panicked, nearly getting smacked in the face by the Archaic Giant Armored Kun’s tail.
Its fight with the Archaic Giant Armored Kun had looked spectacular, a well-matched, back-and-forth struggle.
In truth, it hadn’t been using its full strength at all; it was just slacking off.
But it never imagined Chu Sheng would actually walk right in to get himself killed!
’You’re just some trash at the Emperor Realm! You were perfectly safe hiding outside the Barrier, what the hell did you come in here for?!’
’Your death isn’t the problem.’
’But we have a master-servant contract! If you die, I have to die with you!’
The big black dog didn’t dare to fool around any longer. A fierce glint flashed in its eyes as the power within its body erupted.
"GET DOWN!!"
With a furious roar, it unleashed its Emperor Domain at full power.
A terrifying pressure, several times stronger than before, instantly enveloped the Archaic Giant Armored Kun.
The massive body of the Archaic Giant Armored Kun went rigid.
It was pinned firmly in the void by the big black dog’s Emperor Domain, completely immobilized!
It was like watching a completely different dog from the one that had been trading blows just moments ago!
Chu Sheng, who had been about to charge forward and hit the Archaic Giant Armored Kun with a [God-devouring Needle], froze when he saw this.
He’d thought the big black dog was evenly matched with the Archaic Giant Armored Kun.
’Turns out the guy’s been putting on an act this whole time!’
"Blackie, you sly dog!" Chu Sheng said, looking at the big black dog with a teasing tone.
"With acting skills like that, it’s a shame you’re not an actor."
"ROAR!!"
The big black dog let out two disgruntled roars and slammed its other forepaw down hard on the Archaic Giant Armored Kun’s head.
BAM!
The Archaic Giant Armored Kun, dazed from the blow, let out a pained roar.
It probably never imagined that this big black dog, who seemed to be its equal in strength, had been a wolf in sheep’s clothing the entire time!
’You’re one sly motherfucker!’
Things got much simpler after that.
Chu Sheng flew before the pinned and immobilized Archaic Giant Armored Kun, extended his incredibly sharp proboscis, aimed for its head, and plunged it deep.
[Ding! Top-Grade Emperor Realm Qi Blood detected! Absorption in progress...]

...
[Warning! Host’s Qi Blood storage has reached the current realm’s maximum capacity!]
"Use my Evolution Points! Convert it! Convert it all! Don’t stop!"
Chu Sheng commanded immediately.
There was no time for slow digestion.
There was no telling when that old monster, Xuanyuan Changfeng, would suddenly appear.
Only after he had sucked the Archaic Giant Armored Kun completely dry, leaving nothing but a husk, could Chu Sheng feel at ease.
Besides, ever since he had advanced to the Emperor Realm,
the conversion of Evolution Points to Qi Blood Value broke even, so there was no need to worry about taking a loss.
As Chu Sheng frantically absorbed the Archaic Giant Armored Kun’s Origin power, he warily scanned his surroundings, on guard for Xuanyuan Changfeng’s sudden appearance.
This Archaic Giant Armored Kun was the key ingredient for Xuanyuan Changfeng’s ascension to the Divine Realm.
He would never stand by and watch Chu Sheng kill the Archaic Giant Armored Kun.
Xuanyuan Changfeng would definitely try to stop him!!!
But, to Chu Sheng’s surprise,
he drained the Archaic Giant Armored Kun until it was nothing more than a shriveled husk, yet there was still no sign of Xuanyuan Changfeng.
Forget Xuanyuan Changfeng; not a single menial servant was sent out.
The entire Xuanyuan estate was eerily silent, as if it were a ghost town.
Chu Sheng glanced at his system panel.
[Qi Blood: 170,000,000 (Early-Stage Emperor Realm)]
’A decent haul. My strength has increased by a huge margin.’
’Now that I’ve ruined Xuanyuan Changfeng’s plan to ascend, there’s no reason to stick around.’
’Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, the best is to flee.’
"Blackie, let’s move!"
Chu Sheng shouted to the big black dog, used [Realm-Breaking Claw] once more to tear open the Space Barrier, and leaped out.
The big black dog hurried after him.
Just as Chu Sheng was about to activate his [Boundless Wings] and flee the Xuanyuan estate,
a vast, boundless, and utterly terrifying Power suddenly descended from the heavens, instantly enveloping the entire Xuanyuan estate.
This Power was far greater than that of any Emperor Realm expert Chu Sheng had ever encountered.
The next second,
a calm, ancient voice, imbued with undeniable authority, echoed across the skies above the Xuanyuan estate.
"Little mosquito, since you’ve absorbed the material This Emperor was to use for ascension to the Divine Realm..."
"...then you shall become This Emperor’s new material for ascending to the Divine Realm."
"In fact, This Emperor ought to thank you."
"If not for your arrival, This Emperor might have had to wait another hundred years for this opportunity."
