101: Chapter 101 Breakthrough and Enhancement, Slaughter and Time

Chu Chen sat cross-legged in the Small World beside the enlightenment tree, comprehending the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Ever since the system rewarded him with this enlightenment tree, Chu Chen had kept it planted within this Small World.

Although it had only just sprouted, it was already nurturing the divine charm of the Great Dao.

Chu Chen cultivated the Demonic Dao, not the Heavenly Dao, so when he stepped into the Saint Realm, he had not comprehended the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Dao of the Nine Provinces would not allow Chu Chen to comprehend the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Beside him, Liu Xianer watched Chu Chen with her beautiful eyes, her gaze filled with a hint of sorrow.

The Primordial Yin energy within her body had already been completely drained by the person before her.

And it had been like that for several days without rest, which had completely exhausted her.

However, she also knew that she was merely a tool, and perhaps once Chu Chen woke up, she would be refined into a Blood Pill.

But she was happy; at least Li Xiantong had died before her.

The next moment, a powerful surge of Demonic Power radiated from Chu Chen's body.

A terrifying aura permeated the air, and an incredibly beautiful and brilliant black lotus floated above Chu Chen's head.

His cultivation realm began to climb, breaking through from the third level of the Saint Realm to the fifth level.

Mysterious runes swirled around his body as he crossed two minor realms in succession.

Even Liu Xianer, who was beside him, was affected; having just reached the First Level of Sendai, she now unexpectedly stepped into the Second Level of Sendai.

In an instant, the divine charm around Chu Chen dissipated, the black lotus returned into his body, and then those emotionless, scarlet eyes slowly opened.

Chu Chen sensed the two powers within his body, and a curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

He had not expected to comprehend two top-tier Great Daos among the myriad of Great Daos.

The Dao of Slaughter and the Great Dao of Time.

The Power of Slaughter could pierce through everything; he could condense the ultimate aura of slaughter within himself and attain the Dao through slaughter.

Any enemy who dared to block him would be eroded by the Dao of Slaughter.

And the Great Dao of Time was an even more supreme Great Dao that stood above the Dao of Slaughter.

If he were to comprehend it completely and perfectly, he would be able to control the flow of time.

He could reverse time, travel to the past and future, and at that time, he would be able to fish Ming Yuan out from the River of Time.

"Demon Lord... My Lord, you have awakened," Liu Xianer asked tentatively.

Chu Chen looked at Liu Xianer, "You absorbed the Demonic Power that was released and condensed a Demonic Heart?"

"Ah...! Demon Lord, I did not do it intentionally. Just now, I do not know why, but I involuntarily absorbed that Demonic Power," Liu Xianer explained.

"The Innate Charm Bone Holy Body, plus a Demonic Heart—it seems you have great potential for cultivating the Demonic Dao."

"Moreover, your Innate Charm Bone Holy Body can continuously produce Primordial Yin energy to aid my cultivation, so it is acceptable to keep you by my side."

Upon hearing this, a trace of joy appeared in Liu Xianer's beautiful eyes.

"Demon Lord, does this mean you are not planning to refine me into a Blood Pill?"

Liu Xianer asked cautiously.

"Refining you into a Blood Pill would be the same as harvesting all the chives at once, wouldn't it? By that logic, I prefer chives that I can keep harvesting."

Liu Xianer immediately knelt on the ground, "Thank you, Demon Lord, for sparing my life!"

"Do not be happy too soon. If one day your Innate Charm Bone Holy Body can no longer help me improve my cultivation, I will still refine you into a Blood Pill."

Chu Chen scanned the entire Small World; apart from some simple supplies, the entire Small World looked somewhat like a barren land.

It seems he would have to find time to develop this Small World; next time, he would just move other holy lands directly into it.

[Ding! The system has issued a mission. The host now has some strength, but needs to continue working hard. Destroy an Immortal Daoist Lineage and completely cement your notorious reputation across the Nine Provinces. Reward: one character of the Great Dao Recording.]

The Great Dao Recording? He did not expect the reward this time to actually be the Great Dao Recording.

The "Life" character of the Great Dao Recording he currently held was something Great Emperor Jinwu had obtained by chance in a forbidden zone.

This thing did not belong to the Nine Provinces, but the power it contained was incredibly strange.

Chu Chen was certainly determined to obtain this Great Dao Recording.

And there was the Heavenly Dao curse on him; he had to grow stronger as quickly as possible, in case the spirit of the Nine Provinces' Heavenly Dao awakened again.

With his current strength, he would certainly not be able to stop it.

Back when Ming Yuan died, he had asked Chu Chen to devour his body, but Chu Chen had not done so.

Perhaps there might be a power outside the Nine Provinces that could allow Ming Yuan to resurrect from the dead.

The next moment, Chu Chen frowned slightly; there was something outside the ten thousand soul banner.

Moreover, this aura was extremely strange; it seemed he had felt it somewhere before.

Chu Chen waved his hand, and immediately an image appeared within the Small World.

The figure of Zhongli Xue appeared in the image.

A trace of suspicion flashed in Chu Chen's eyes; he did not expect Zhongli Xue to have actually tracked him here.

He knew that Zhongli Xue had long since been possessed by that strange entity.

Looking at this, she must have come specifically to find him.

The ten thousand soul banner was hidden in the void, and Zhongli Xue's figure was not far from it.

But she seemed not to have noticed anything unusual.

A strange, cold voice emanated from Zhongli Xue, "That aura was clearly right here; how could it have disappeared?"

"Damn it...!! You cannot run; I will definitely find you."

The next instant, a burst of cold, strange power erupted from Zhongli Xue's body!

This power was like a surging torrent, spreading wildly in all directions with Zhongli Xue as the center.

Wherever it passed, all things were devoured, annihilated, and shattered!

And the ten thousand soul banner, which was hidden in the shadows, was also knocked out by this strange power.

Zhongli Xue's extremely cold eyes instantly looked toward the location of the ten thousand soul banner.

"So you were hiding here." Zhongli Xue instantly arrived in front of the ten thousand soul banner and reached out to grab it.

However, a point of black light instantly shot out from within the ten thousand soul banner, instantly condensing into a spear of slaughter.

Seeing this, Zhongli Xue's entire body began to turn illusory, dodging the black spear.

But she still underestimated the spear condensed from the Power of Slaughter.

The Power of Slaughter touched her body and was devouring her life force.

Seeing this, Zhongli Xue let out a cold snort, and a strange aura wrapped around her body, repelling the Power of Slaughter.

"Since you are unwilling to come out, then I will go in and find you."

At this moment, within the Small World, Chu Chen activated the Blood Demon Eye and saw the image of the next ten seconds.

He did not expect that this strange entity could actually enter his ten thousand soul banner's Small World.

If he let her in, the consequences would be unimaginable. Thinking of this, Chu Chen's mind stirred.

His body arrived in the outside world, his eyes looking coldly at the Zhongli Xue before him.

"You strange thing, I did not manage to kill you last time, yet you dare to come again this time."

However, the moment Zhongli Xue saw Chu Chen, the greed in her eyes was undisguised.

A terrifying, strange power shrouded this entire area of heaven and earth.

The ten thousand demons immortal devouring sword was gripped tightly in Chu Chen's hand, and he slashed out with the Power of Slaughter attached to the blade.

It instantly condensed into a terrifying black sword beam, as if it wanted to split heaven and earth apart.

A trace of wariness flashed in Zhongli Xue's eyes.

Chu Chen discovered that she seemed somewhat wary of this Power of Slaughter.

Sure enough, Zhongli Xue's figure became illusory again and disappeared, not daring to take the sword beam condensed from the Power of Slaughter head-on.
