96: This servant greets her master.

“Appetizer?”

When Lin Chen's gaze, filled with greed and desire, brazenly fell upon the Profound Frost Sword Maiden, and when his frivolous, insulting, yet factual comment reached the ears of that aloof woman.

“Die!”

Without any nonsense, without the slightest hesitation!

The Profound Frost Sword Maiden, a peak Late Nascent Soul Stage Sword Cultivator, instantly erupted with bone-chilling killing intent from her pair of beautiful, emotionless, icy eyes beneath her veiled, lovely face!

Clang!

A sword cry that seemed capable of freezing the soul resounded throughout the entire Ten Thousand Year Ice Phoenix Cave!

She made her move!

This sword was fast, fast to the extreme!

She didn't even have a starting stance! Her tall and graceful body seemed to completely merge with the Icy Blue Ancient Sword in her hand!

The person is the sword! The sword is the person!

A streak of Profound Frost-colored sword light ignored the constraints of spatial distance and laws, stabbing directly towards Lin Chen's glabella with pure, ultimate sharpness!

This single sword strike was even more terrifying than True Monarch Ziyue's lofty Sacred Domain Pure Light Law! True Monarch Ziyue's path is Order, Judgment, and the Surface!

But the path of the woman before him is Slaughter, Purity, and the Point! She concentrated all the power of the Late Nascent Soul Stage and all the Sword Intent of her Tiangang Sword Bone into this single strike!

“So fast!”

Lin Chen's pupils contracted sharply!

He didn't even have time to dodge!

“Master, be careful!”

Boom!

True Monarch Ziyue and Su Daji simultaneously let out terrified screams from the side!

They were just about to rush to the rescue... “Don't move!”

But Lin Chen let out an undeniable roar at that moment!

He smiled! His handsome face revealed a maniacal excitement!

“This is the appetizer this King wants!”

“Chaos Dragon Elephant! Heavenly Dao Dharma Body! Activate for this King!”

Roar!

The phantoms of one hundred thousand Chaos Dragon Elephants roared behind him! His Heavenly Dao Dharma Body, which had just broken through to the Mid Nascent Soul Stage, went all out at this moment!

He did not retreat, dodge, or avoid! He simply stretched out his demonic claw, which was burning with Chaos Dao Patterns, and forcefully grabbed towards the Profound Frost sword light that was moving at the extreme speed!

Bang!

“What?!”

A hint of shock flashed through the Profound Frost Sword Maiden's icy beautiful eyes for the first time!

Her indestructible sword light was actually grabbed by this man's hand!

Crack!

The Chaos Dao Patterns on Lin Chen's right hand wailed! His indestructible hand bones were shattering inch by inch! The Profound Frost Sword Qi was truly too sharp!

But in the end, it was blocked by him!

“That's it?”

Lin Chen grinned, revealing his chilling white teeth:

A Late Nascent Soul Stage Sword Cultivator? Can't even break this King's skin!

“You court death!”

The Profound Frost Sword Maiden was enraged! She was a Sword Maiden, a Guardian! She absolutely would not allow this demon to further profane the female venerable behind her!

“Tiangang Sword Bone, activate! Profound Frost Sword Array, Ten Thousand Swords Return to One!”

Buzz!

Her tall and graceful body suddenly shook! Her Profound Frost-colored tight sword robe moved without wind! Beneath the taut fabric, her exquisitely curved, explosive, graceful figure actually emitted a heaven-piercing Sword Intent!

“Not good!”

Lin Chen's expression turned solemn for the first time!

He miscalculated! This woman was stronger than he imagined!

She actually burned the origin of her Sword Bone on the spot!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Tens of thousands of Profound Frost Sword Qi condensed behind her, and then instantly gathered into a colossal, heaven-piercing great sword that seemed capable of severing this Primordial Glacier!

When this sword struck down, even space was torn apart, and even laws retreated!

“human emperor seal! Suppress for this King!”

Lin Chen dared not be arrogant anymore!

Buzz!

The golden human emperor seal was violently unleashed! The supremely firm and masculine Human Dao Pressure fiercely collided with the Colossal Heaven-Piercing Great Sword!

Crack!

This time, it was truly earth-shattering!

The brilliant golden light of the human emperor seal was actually forcefully split apart by the supremely pure Profound Frost sword light!

Lin Chen's Heavenly Dao Dharma Body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the ice wall of the Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice!

“Pfft!”

A large mouthful of Chaos Blood, mixed with gray, violently spurted out! A terrifying sword mark, deep enough to expose bone, clearly appeared on his indestructible chest!

Hiss... Lin Chen sucked in a cold breath!

He was injured, and severely so!

What was more terrifying was that his proud Chaos Dragon Elephant recovery ability had actually failed at this moment! A layer of pale blue Profound Frost Sword Intent was attached to the bone-deep sword mark on his chest! That Sword Intent, like gangrene attached to the bone, was firmly nailed to his wound, preventing his physical body from healing!

This... This was a Wound of Law!

Beside him, True Monarch Ziyue's noble, lovely face was covered in horror!

“Master, be careful! This is the Law-Breaking Sword of the Tiangang Sword Bone! She can Sever the Great Dao! Her Law suppression is purer and more dominant than servant girl's!”

“Oh?”

Lin Chen wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth.

On his blood-soaked handsome face, there was not the slightest fear; instead, a madness more terrifying than that of the Profound Frost Sword Maiden ignited!

“Hahahaha! Good! Good! Good! As expected of a supreme quality item exiled from Central Continent! This is flavorful! This is worthy of being this King's appetizer!”

“You...!”

The lovely face beneath the Profound Frost Sword Maiden's veil was icy cold!

This man is a lunatic!

Not only did he not flee after suffering a Wound of Law, but he became even more excited?!

“Do you think you've won?”

Lin Chen slowly pulled his body out of the ice wall.

He ignored the bone-deep sword mark on his chest.

His pair of Chaos-colored eyes burned with a savage, beast-like glint at this moment!

“A Late Nascent Soul Stage Sword Cultivator is indeed very strong, but your biggest mistake was provoking this King!”

Boom!

Lin Chen stomped his foot!

He actually charged forward again!

“Lunatic!”

The Profound Frost Sword Maiden let out a soft shout!

She didn't understand! This man's recovery ability was clearly nullified! Why did he still dare to trade injuries?!

“Profound Frost Moon Shadowless!”

She held nothing back! She had to kill this demon who profaned the female venerable in the shortest time possible!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

This time, there were sword shadows filling the sky! Every sword shadow contained the terrifying Sword Intent capable of severing Laws!

Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

Lin Chen's physical body was instantly pierced through!

His left shoulder! His right arm! His lower abdomen!

In an instant, he became a man of blood!

“Master!”

True Monarch Ziyue and Su Daji were completely terrified!

They frantically tried to rush up and rescue him!

“Too late! Die!”

A hint of relief flashed in the Profound Frost Sword Maiden's icy beautiful eyes!

She condensed her final Sword Intent!

“Profound Frost Heavenly Burial!”

This was a certain-kill strike!

She wanted to sever Lin Chen's Heavenly Dao Dharma Body! She wanted to bury this demon's Divine Soul!

“No!”

True Monarch Ziyue roared in despair!

However! Just at the moment the Sword of Death was about to hit Lin Chen's glabella! Lin Chen smiled!

His blood-soaked handsome face revealed a maniacal smile of successful plotting!

“You...”

The Profound Frost Sword Maiden's heart suddenly sank!

“Not good! It was a trap!”

“Too late!”

Lin Chen roared out!

He paid the price of severe, near-fatal injury!

He was waiting for this exact moment!

Waiting for the moment her old strength was spent and new strength had not yet arisen!

Waiting for the instant her Dao Heart was most relaxed!

Boom!

“Human Emperor Domain Prototype... Activate for this King!”

A supreme pressure that defied description! A Dominating Will that transcended the Heavenly Dao and was unique in the universe! It violently erupted from Lin Chen's dying Heavenly Dao Dharma Body!

This was not Law!

This was a Domain!

It was the final trump card forced out by the Human Emperor Prison Suppression Art when the host faced a genuine threat of death!

Human Emperor Domain!

Buzz!

A phantom golden halo suddenly spread out, centered on Lin Chen!

“What?!”

An unprecedented fear appeared in the Profound Frost Sword Maiden's icy beautiful eyes!

The moment this golden halo enveloped her!

Her... her proud Sword Dao! Her indestructible Profound Frost Sword Intent! Her Late Nascent Soul Stage Laws!

They... they all... failed?!

No! Not failed!

They were suppressed!

Just like a subject encountering an Emperor!

Her certain-kill strike was actually frozen in mid-air! Frozen for a full instant!

And this instant... was enough!

Myriad Spirits Soul Control Canon... Suppress for this King!

Lin Chen's blood-soaked demonic claw burned with his last bit of Divine Soul power!

Puchi!

He forcefully endured the tip of the Profound Frost Sword piercing through his own palm!

He grabbed her!

He firmly grasped the Profound Frost Sword Maiden's cold, smooth wrist!

“No!”

The Profound Frost Sword Maiden screamed in despair!

She tried to pull her hand back! But Lin Chen's grip on her hand was like iron pincers!

Buzz!

That supremely dominant Soul Imprint! That Divine Soul Brand that fused the Human Emperor's will! It invaded her Sea of Consciousness with overwhelming dominance through their joined wrists!

“No!”

“Get out!”

“Get out of here!”

The Profound Frost Sword Maiden resisted frantically!

She was a Sword Cultivator! Her will was as strong as Divine Iron! Her Tiangang Sword Bone erupted with its final Sword Intent, attempting to shatter the invading Soul Imprint!

“Heh...”

Lin Chen gave a miserable, blood-soaked laugh.

“Sever? Within Our Domain... what do you have to sever with?!”

Boom!

The Soul Imprint erupted!

Ah!

The Profound Frost Sword Maiden let out an extremely mournful scream!

The arrogance, purity, and slaughter in her icy beautiful eyes all shattered!

Replaced by blankness!

Bang!

Her tall and graceful body collapsed softly onto the ground.

Her tight sword robe was already soaked through with both their blood.

The veil on her face slipped off.

Revealing a stunningly beautiful, icy, pale, jade-like face that was filled with despair and confusion!

Hah... Hah... Lin Chen gasped heavily.

He won.

But he was also completely exhausted.

His Human Emperor Domain Prototype vanished.

“Master!”

True Monarch Ziyue and Su Daji cried out and rushed forward to support his trembling body!

“Don't touch me...”

Lin Chen pushed them away.

His blood-soaked gaze fell upon the Profound Frost Sword Maiden who had collapsed unconscious on the ground!

Tiangang Sword Bone... Late Nascent Soul Stage... This is the real nourishment... He dragged his severely injured body, leaving a bloody footprint with every step, and walked over.

He picked her up!

“Su Daji, Purple Moon, Protector me!”

Lin Chen sat down cross-legged!

He couldn't wait any longer!

He was going to consume her right then and there!

He violently tore open her blood-stained tight sword robe! Revealing her Peerless Jade Body, which was like ice carving and jade sculpture, yet filled with ascetic beauty!

“many sons, many blessings... Devour for this King!”

Boom!

Golden light enveloped the two of them!

Ah... In her unconscious state, the Profound Frost Sword Maiden let out a suppressed and painful moan!

Her icy body instinctively arched!

The origin of her Tiangang Sword Bone was being frantically absorbed by Lin Chen's dominant Chaos Power!

Plunder!

Sowing!

Her icy sacred ground was being forcibly irrigated by the most scorching Seed of Life!

She was falling!

She was transforming!

Finally!

After the origin of her Tiangang Sword Bone was completely consumed!

The most beautiful Sound of Nature in the world rang out in Lin Chen's mind!

[Ding! Congratulations, host! Successfully harvested Tiangang Sword Bone (Late Nascent Soul Stage)!]

[Detected damage to host's Dao Foundation, initiating repair...]

[Repair complete! Reward dispensed!]

[Your cultivation will break through to the Late Nascent Soul Stage!]

Boom!

A vast, mighty power, ten times more terrifying than when he broke through to the Mid Nascent Soul Stage, violently erupted from within Lin Chen!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The horrifying, hideous sword marks on his body! The Profound Frost Sword Intent attached inside him like gangrene!

Before this absolute power!

In an instant!

They crumbled and disintegrated!

Lin Chen slowly stood up!

His injuries instantly healed!

His aura surged a hundredfold!

Late Nascent Soul Stage!

He finally stepped into this stage!

Hah... Lin Chen exhaled a mouthful of stale air.

He looked down at his feet.

The aloof Profound Frost Sword Maiden slowly woke up.

She slowly opened her eyes.

Blankness... confusion... struggle... finally settling on fanaticism and worship!

She saw her naked body.

She saw the marks of pleasure on her body.

Her icy lovely face instantly flushed red!

But the power of the Soul Imprint overwhelmed everything!

She struggled to use her Sword Sheath to support her body, kneeling prostrate at Lin Chen's feet in the most humble posture.

“...Xuan Shuang...”

“...Greetings... Master...”

She submitted.

Lin Chen nodded in satisfaction.

He didn't even bother to help her up.

He walked past her, taking his newly acquired servant.

He walked step by step toward the massive Nine Heavens Profound Ice.
