61: Chapter 61 Cao Kun: Stop arguing, let's all attack together!

Cao Kun's mind was shaken to its core.

This kind of mighty power completely exceeded his understanding of the cultivation world.

The gray-robed figure lowered his right hand.

A low, majestic voice continued to echo in the void.

“The Boundary Sea will fall into Chaos; the catastrophe returns.”

“If this sword can be reforged... you shall command my Chaos God Race.”

“Before the catastrophe arrives, you must return to the Boundary Sea to defy heaven and change the fate of all living beings in this realm!”

The voice faded.

The gray-robed figure froze in place.

The surging chaotic air currents around him also stagnated.

Cao Kun stood there rubbing his hands, waiting expectantly for what would come next.

Ten breaths passed.

Half an incense stick of time passed.

The void was silent.

No Cultivation Technique Jade Slips flew over, nor did any empowerment Legacy descend.

Cao Kun raised an eyebrow.

“Senior?” Cao Kun called out tentatively.

There was no response.

“Are you there?” Cao Kun called out again.

The gray-robed figure still had his back turned, motionless.

Cao Kun curled his lip.

Is that it? You've given out the mission, so give me the fortune! What's the point of just drawing big promises?

Just as Cao Kun was about to turn and leave.

A ripple suddenly appeared in the void ahead.

The phantom of the Chaos God Emperor came back to life.

That stalwart back slowly turned, as if about to face him.

Cao Kun was overjoyed.

He immediately stopped in his tracks and stood up straight.

That's more like it! The big one is coming.

Peerless Cultivation Techniques, supreme legacies, ancient Divine Artifacts—any of those would do.

The gray-robed figure finally turned around.

His face was hidden within a patch of mist.

Then, that low, majestic voice rang out again.

“Since you can fuse with my remnant blade, you are a person of destiny!”

“My name is... the Chaos God Emperor.”

“The Boundary Sea will fall into Chaos; the catastrophe returns.”

“If this sword can be reforged... you shall command my Chaos God Race.”

“Before the catastrophe arrives, you must return to the Boundary Sea to defy heaven and change the fate of all living beings in this realm!”

Not a single word was different.

Even the fluctuations and pauses in the intonation were exactly the same.

The smile on Cao Kun's face completely froze.

What the hell.

You put on such a big show and made such a huge commotion, and it turns out to be just a recording?!

Cao Kun couldn't be bothered to argue with an ancient tape recorder anymore.

With a thought, his consciousness immediately exited this void.

As soon as his consciousness returned to his body.

Cao Kun noticed a massive change within himself.

Inside his Dantian.

On the surface of that purple-gold Golden Core, a layer of deep black patterns had appeared.

The chaos sword embryo that originally floated above the Golden Core had now completely changed its appearance.

The palm-sized remnant blade had perfectly fused with the sword embryo.

The sword body was slender and pitch-black, emitting a heart-palpitating aura of slaughter.

Cao Kun inspected his internal state.

He could clearly feel that this sword embryo had undergone a qualitative change.

The Chaos Unity Art operated automatically, and the Spiritual Qi of the surrounding world flooded into his body madly.

After being swallowed and transformed by the sword embryo, it turned into extremely pure spiritual power, feeding back into the purple-gold Golden Core.

The efficiency of swallowing Spiritual Qi had increased several times over compared to before.

The Sword Intent flowing on the surface of the sword embryo had also become more condensed and overbearing.

A crisp notification sound rang out in his mind.

[Ding! Detected that the host's Magical Artifact 'chaos sword embryo' has advanced!]

[chaos sword embryo → chaos remnant sword (Damaged State)]

[Rank: Top-grade Immortal Artifact (Growth-type) → Pseudo-Divine Artifact (Growth-type)]

[New Passive: Chaos Sword Intent — In close combat, attacks carry a Chaos Erosion effect, ignoring defenses below the same rank.]

[Note: There are still remnant fragments of this sword scattered throughout the world. Every time a fragment is fused, the sword's rank and power will significantly increase.]

A Pseudo-Divine Artifact.

Cao Kun looked at the information on the System panel, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

Ignoring defenses below the same rank.

This meant that as long as he got close, no one's Protective Aura could stop a single strike of his sword.

This was a massive profit.

As for that main quest about returning to the Boundary Sea and saving all living beings.

Cao Kun didn't take it to heart at all.

Future matters can be dealt with in the future; the benefits already in his stomach were what truly mattered.

Cao Kun slowly opened his eyes.

What met his eyes was a ceiling carved with dragons and phoenixes.

A familiar delicate fragrance permeated the air.

This was the jade bed in the inner chamber of the Lianxiang Peak Main Hall.

His gaze shifted slightly downward.

Two peerlessly beautiful faces came into view.

Yu Linglong and Leng Qingyue were leaning over the edge of the bed, one on the left and one on the right.

Yu Linglong's long purple hair fell down, the tips brushing against Cao Kun's cheek, bringing a tickling sensation.

Her eyes were slightly red, and her originally seductive and enchanting face was now filled with undisguised worry.

On the right, Leng Qingyue was equally haggard.

Her plain white dress was somewhat disheveled, and there was still a trace of moisture in her cold eyes.

Clearly, the two had been guarding him here for a long time.

As soon as Cao Kun moved, both women woke up at the same time.

“You're awake!”

“Senior Brother Cao!”

Two voices rang out simultaneously.

Yu Linglong's movements were extremely fast.

She reached out with both arms and pressed Cao Kun's head directly against her chest.

“Revered Master!”

Yu Linglong hugged Cao Kun's neck tightly, her voice trembling uncontrollably.

“You were unconscious for a full two hours! Linglong was worried to death!”

Cao Kun's cheek sank into the softness.

His breath was filled with the mature fragrance from Yu Linglong's body.

He raised his hand and naturally wrapped it around Yu Linglong's slender waist, giving the voluptuous curve a squeeze.

Leng Qingyue was half a beat slower.

Watching her Revered Master's unscrupulous actions, a flash of resentment crossed her cold eyes.

Leng Qingyue bit her lower lip.

She squeezed in from the other side of the jade bed, hugging Cao Kun's right arm with both hands and pressing it tightly against her chest.

“Senior Brother Cao,” Leng Qingyue looked up, her voice gentle, “Just now, terrifying black Qi erupted from your body, Qingyue was so scared...”

Two completely different sensations came from the left and right.

Cao Kun narrowed his eyes comfortably.

Sensing Leng Qingyue's actions, Yu Linglong's peach-blossom eyes narrowed slightly.

She lowered her head, her red lips brushing past Cao Kun's earlobe, as she said with a provocatively emphasized tone:

“Revered Master, is there anywhere else you feel uncomfortable? Linglong will help you check.”

Leng Qingyue was not to be outdone.

She hugged Cao Kun's arm tightly and shook it gently:

“Senior Brother Cao, that mysterious black sword suddenly flew into your body, what exactly happened? Did it injure your Meridians?”

Leng Qingyue added: “That aura was so terrifying, even more frightening than Su Changhe's Nascent Soul Avatar by tenfold...”

Two pairs of eyes stared at Cao Kun at the same time.

Waiting for his answer.

Cao Kun pulled his head out from Yu Linglong's chest.

Leaning against the headboard and seeing the two women's shocked and defenseless looks, a bit of mischief rose in his heart.

He let out a deep, feigned sigh.

“Don't mention it.”

“I encountered the remnant soul of an Eternal Great Emperor.”

Yu Linglong and Leng Qingyue both froze.

An Eternal Great Emperor?

“His Excellency saw that my talent is extraordinary and my skeletal structure is unique, and insisted on taking me as his successor.”

“I originally wanted to refuse. After all, I am a person who is indifferent to fame and fortune, only wanting to plant some medicinal herbs on Lianxiang Peak and accompany you both.”

Cao Kun was talking nonsense with a straight face.

“In the end, His Excellency was persistent and insisted on passing all his life's learning to me. That black sword is his life-bound Divine Artifact.”

Yu Linglong's red lips parted slightly, her face full of disbelief.

Leng Qingyue's eyes widened even more, her cold face written with shock.

The Legacy of an Eternal Great Emperor.

A life-bound Divine Artifact.

These two terms, placed before any cultivator, would be enough to trigger a bloodbath.

Yet Cao Kun said it so casually.

Yu Linglong snapped back to her senses.

The look in her eyes as she watched Cao Kun turned from worry to a completely frenzied obsession.

This was her Revered Master.

A peerless Prodigy that even an Eternal Great Emperor would rush to give a Legacy to.

Leng Qingyue was filled with joy.

The stronger Senior Brother Cao was, the prouder she, his official Dao Companion, would be.

Seeing the two women stunned by his words, Cao Kun gave a wicked smile.

“The Emperor's Legacy is too overbearing.”

“My internal spiritual power is surging right now, and I feel very hot.”

“Come!”

Cao Kun used both hands, his left hand grasping Yu Linglong's slender waist and his right hand grabbing Leng Qingyue's shoulder.

With a gentle pull, he brought both women into his embrace at the same time.

“I'll let you both feel it once!”

“Ah!”

The two women cried out in surprise simultaneously.

Feeling the overbearing and restless Yang-flame Spiritual Power within Cao Kun's body.

They instantly understood his intention.

Yu Linglong was the first to react.

Instead of resisting, she said in a seductive voice that could melt one's bones:

“Since Revered Master needs it... Linglong naturally must do her utmost.”

A red flush climbed onto Leng Qingyue's cheeks, even her white neck turning pink.

She stole a glance at her Revered Master beside her, then looked at Cao Kun.

Although being with her Revered Master was a bit embarrassing.

But at the thought of helping Senior Brother Cao regulate his spiritual power and perhaps suppressing her Revered Master's momentum at the same time.

She still closed her eyes and gave a submissive soft hum.

Accompanied by the two women's half-resisting, half-yielding coquettish moans.

The soundproofing Formation of the inner chamber quietly lit up.

Layers of purple spiritual light rose up, sealing the entire sleeping hall airtight.

Leng Qingyue
