138: Chapter 138 You say you're a rogue cultivator?!

In the Void Realm, the gale winds were biting!

Chen An stood in the Void Realm, feeling the surging power within him that seemed capable of opening up the heavens and earth, or plucking stars and grasping the moon; his lips couldn't help but curl slightly!

Martial Emperor Realm!!!

From the time of his Awakening until now, only ten days had passed!

Ten days!

Relying on the System and a little bit of his own effort, he had finally gone from a piece of trash at Condensing Qi Stage 2 to stepping onto the pinnacle of martial arts on the Cangyuan Continent!

Thinking back on the experiences of these ten days, Chen An felt as if he were dreaming.

Ten days ago, he was still working overtime in another world; simply because he was too tired and took a nap, he ended up experiencing Rebirth in this world and had an Awakening of his memories from his past life.

During these ten days, he could be described as living in trepidation, fearing that if his cultivation increased too quickly, it would be discovered by others and attract covetous eyes; he had been deliberately lying low and hiding his cultivation level layer by layer.

But starting from today!

He no longer needed to do that!

He had already stepped onto the pinnacle of martial arts on the Cangyuan Continent and was one of the strongest experts on the Cangyuan Continent.

The Martial Emperor Realm, or even the cultivation of the Late Stage of the Martial Emperor Realm, was enough to ensure he no longer needed to be timid or hide his sharpness!

"It is a pity that, in the end, I was still unable to refine the Thunder Emperor Battle Body!"

However, while sensing his cultivation Realm, Chen An's Divine Sense looked toward the bones within his body that were faintly shimmering with a pale golden light, and he sighed slightly.

Although this time he adventured into the Lightning Tribulation and used the Body Tempering method from the "Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor Scripture" to forge his body, raising the Martial Bone within his body from High Grade all the way to Heavenly Grade Martial Bone.

He was unable to refine the Thunder Emperor Battle Body as planned!

However, after thinking about it for a moment, Chen An quickly let it go.

Even in the "Purple Heaven Thunder Emperor Scripture", using the Heavenly Tribulation for Body Refining only had a ten percent chance of successfully refining the Thunder Emperor Battle Body.

Of course, don't look down on it just because it is only ten percent!

In Chen An's view, that was already extremely Heaven-Defying!

After all, according to the records in the classics he saw in the Library of Chengtian Prefecture, Battle Bodies are innate, and there are simply no Cultivation Techniques or records for acquiring a Battle Body after birth.

Of course, it was also possible that the Library of Chengtian Prefecture was of too low a Rank and hadn't reached the level where such information could be accessed.

Chen An's eyes flickered; suddenly, he saw the Void Realm ahead vibrate slightly, and then two figures appeared about ten meters away from him.

This distance was neither far nor near; it was just right, indicating that the visitors had no ill intentions while also showing a sense of closeness.

"This old man is the Grand Elder of the Batian Sect, Supreme Elder Cang Wanli. Congratulations to Your Excellency for achieving a Breakthrough to the Martial Emperor Realm!"

"This old man is Xuan Zhantian, the third-generation Emperor of the Great Luo Dynasty. I congratulate Your Excellency on surviving the Nine-Nine Lightning Tribulation and advancing to the Martial Emperor Realm!"

After Supreme Elder Cang Wanli and Xuan Zhantian appeared, they both smiled and cupped their hands toward Chen An.

Hearing their self-introductions, Chen An couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Even though the two did not reveal their cultivation, with his current cultivation, he naturally could already see that both of them were also in the Martial Emperor Realm.

Moreover, although he didn't know them, he had heard of their prestigious names.

Whether it was the Emperor of the Great Luo Dynasty or the Grand Elder of the Batian Sect, both were famous and renowned existences.

He hadn't expected that just after he finished Undergoing Tribulation today, the two of them would already appear before him.

"You two Seniors are too kind. This Junior is Chen An; I have met Grand Elder Cang and Emperor Xuan!" Chen An's eyes flickered slightly as he cupped his hands in return.

His tone was neither servile nor overbearing; he had none of the arrogance of a newly promoted Martial Emperor, nor the awkwardness of facing veteran Emperors.

Hearing Chen An's self-introduction, Xuan Zhantian and Supreme Elder Cang Wanli couldn't help but look at each other. Both saw a trace of suspicion in the other's eyes, and they immediately knew that neither of them had heard this name before.

As a result, the two of them became even more curious about Chen An's background.

"Hehe, Brother Chen, there is no need to be so polite!"

Xuan Zhantian's eyes flickered once, then he looked at Chen An and waved his hand, smiling with a sincere expression, "They say that in learning, there is no seniority, and the one who achieves the Dao first is the master!"

"For us Martial Artists, seniority is determined by the level of cultivation!"

"Since Brother Chen has already advanced to the Martial Emperor Realm, you should naturally be on equal footing with us. Continuing to refer to yourself as a Junior would only make things distant!"

Beside him, Supreme Elder Cang Wanli nodded repeatedly, his silver beard fluttering, and said in a hearty voice, "Xuan Zhantian is right. Since you have already achieved a Breakthrough to Martial Emperor, you already have the qualifications to be on equal footing with us!"

"Since the two Seniors are so kind, then I, Chen, will not decline!" Hearing their words, Chen An was no longer constrained and smiled faintly.

"Hahaha, good, that is straightforward!" Supreme Elder Cang Wanli laughed loudly.

Xuan Zhantian also smiled slightly and then said, "By the way, I have yet to ask which hidden Sect Brother Chen comes from. You first slew the Clone of Demon Emperor Luxue, then personally Undergoing Tribulation; with such cultivation and combat power, I have never heard of you, which truly makes me feel ashamed!"

Hearing Xuan Zhantian's words, Supreme Elder Cang Wanli couldn't help but look over, his eyes filled with intense curiosity.

Looking at their gazes, a glint flashed in the depths of Chen An's eyes.

His gaze shifting, Chen An met their curious looks and smiled faintly, "I am afraid I will disappoint Brother Xuan. I am merely a Loose Cultivator, just lucky enough to have some Luck, which allowed me to Cultivate all the way to this Realm today."

"Oh?!~~"

Hearing Chen An's words, Xuan Zhantian and Supreme Elder Cang Wanli were both stunned, and the two looked at each other, their eyes full of astonishment.

This was not the ancient times; according to the classics, they were currently in the Age of Dharma Decline.

Even if ordinary people possessed a Battle Body, they would generally only be able to stop at the Great Grandmaster Realm.

Only by encountering Heaven-Defying Opportunity or having the support of a powerful Sect would one have a slight chance to cross the threshold of a Martial King and become a Martial King expert.

As for the Martial Emperor, in this current Age of Dharma Decline, it was already the pinnacle of the Human Race's martial arts.

Without the endless supply of Heaven And Earth Treasure, Cultivation Technique heritage, and guidance from Elders of a major Sect, for a mere Loose Cultivator to want to knock open the door to the Imperial Dao was simply a fantasy.

Not to mention that the combat power Chen An had previously displayed did not look like anything a Loose Cultivator could possess.

Having just stepped into the threshold of the Martial Emperor Realm and without having Undergoing Tribulation, he had defied the odds to slay the Clone of the high-ranking Demon Emperor Luxue, and afterwards, he had even triggered the Nine-Nine Lightning Tribulation that no Martial Artist had triggered in thousands of years, then entered the sea of lightning with his Physical Body to use the Lightning Tribulation for Body Tempering.

Any one of these things, if singled out, would be enough to shake the entire territory of the Human Race; how could a rootless Loose Cultivator possibly achieve them?

Xuan Zhantian and Supreme Elder Cang Wanli thought in their hearts that Chen An was intentionally hiding things from them; although they understood, they were still somewhat displeased.

You, Chen An, might not want to say it, but you can't treat us like fools, right?!

With your combat power, in what way do you look like a Loose Cultivator?!

Immediately, both of them secretly marked Chen An in their hearts as dishonest and not worth deep association.

"Chen... Chen An?!"

However, just at this moment, suddenly from the distant Void Realm, a voice full of shock and disbelief reached the ears of the three of them...
