111: Chapter 111 Chongyang Sacred Source, Substitute Death

The next moment, a voice sounded abruptly, and Chu Chen's figure stepped out from the void.

"Ant, how is it possible that you didn't die!!" Immortal Elder's eyes were filled with extreme astonishment.

"This was a full-strength strike from a Ninth Stage Quasi-Emperor; you couldn't have survived."

Ye Shenji also arrived at Chu Chen's side at the first opportunity. "Little Brother Chu, you didn't die."

"But I can't fathom how you survived that full-strength strike from a Ninth Stage Quasi-Emperor."

"I'll explain it to you in a moment. Right now, that old thing has been severely injured, so this is the perfect opportunity to kill him."

Chu Chen's eyes reflected the Golden Crow Divine Fire as he looked coldly at Immortal Elder.

Upon hearing this, Ye Shenji instantly became serious, murderous intent surging in his eyes.

"Little Brother Chu is right. Immortal Elder's strength is now less than one-tenth of its peak; it is indeed the perfect time to eliminate him."

Dao Yuanzi's figure appeared beside Immortal Elder. "I sense that the Emperor Qi inside your body is running wild everywhere. Can you still fight!!"

"It's fine. This ant has exhausted all his means. No matter what, I am still a Ninth Stage Quasi-Emperor; killing him is as simple as crushing an ant."

"Very well. However, to be safe, I will make the move, and you can suppress them from the rear; don't let them escape."

As Dao Yuanzi finished speaking, a scroll permeated with law runes suddenly appeared in his hand.

"heaven-suppressing ocean essence map, emerge!!"

In an instant, the world changed drastically. A beautiful scroll radiating terrifying power covered the entire world like a light veil.

At this moment, Chu Chen and Ye Shenji only felt the surrounding environment changing rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, they had arrived in a new world.

Chu Chen furrowed his brows slightly; they had been taken into this scroll.

"Be careful, Little Brother Chu. This scroll was once an Emperor artifact, but after a great battle, its grade dropped to a quasi-emperor artifact."

"But even so, this scroll cannot be compared to ordinary quasi-emperor artifacts."

"This heaven-suppressing ocean essence map can manifest everything in the world!!"

Following Ye Shenji's words, blood-colored figures manifested one after another, densely filling the entire firmament.

And every figure exuded the aura of a First Stage Quasi-Emperor.

"Little Brother Chu, these are the blood spirits manifested by the heaven-suppressing ocean essence map by devouring the spirits of heaven and earth."

"Just by devouring the spirits of heaven and earth, it can manifest Quasi-Emperor experts? Isn't this thing too heaven-defying?" Chu Chen asked, puzzled.

Ye Shenji activated the xuanhuang pearl in his hand, and strands of xuanhuang power surged out, shrouding both himself and Chu Chen.

"Of course not. To condense these blood spirits, one still lacks a very important catalyst."

"That is the Quasi-Emperor soul. Each of these blood spirits was a Quasi-Emperor expert in their previous life."

"And only the true master of this heaven-suppressing ocean essence map could easily capture so many Quasi-Emperor experts."

"The Lord of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Void Emperor."

"I didn't expect the Void Emperor to have handed this thing over to Dao Yuanzi."

"Unfortunately, Dao Yuanzi does not know the mysteries of the xuanhuang pearl. As long as we have the xuanhuang pearl in hand, these blood spirits cannot detect our existence."

"Little Brother Chu, stay close to me!!"

"I will take you out, and when the time comes, we might even be able to get our hands on this heaven-suppressing ocean essence map." Ye Shenji smiled faintly.

"By the way, Little Brother Chu, I am curious: what method did you use to survive a full-strength strike from a Ninth Stage Quasi-Emperor?"

"And now, the vitality within your body is flourishing, as if you had never fought at all." Ye Shenji asked, puzzled.

"I just possess a secret treasure for substituting death."

Chu Chen did not choose to tell Ye Shenji the truth.

He possessed the Chongyang Holy Body.

This was a reward given by the system after he annihilated everyone in the entire Qingxuan Holy Land.

This Chongyang Holy Body could not increase his combat power, nor could it improve his cultivation talent.

But it could nurture the Chongyang Holy Source, and when facing fatal danger, this source could substitute death for him.

"So that's how it is!!" Although he said this, Ye Shenji knew that Chu Chen was unwilling to tell him and had just made up an excuse.

However, he did not ask further; after all, everyone has their own secrets.

Meanwhile, in the outside world, Dao Yuanzi sat above the heaven-suppressing ocean essence map.

His eyes were tightly closed, and strands of Emperor Qi were being poured into it.

There was some surprise on his face, and he whispered to himself, "What is going on?"

"I clearly sensed their aura inside just a moment ago; why did it disappear in an instant?"

Immediately, the Emperor Qi on Dao Yuanzi's body shook the nine heavens, pouring entirely into the heaven-suppressing ocean essence map.

Meanwhile, Immortal Elder, who was on the side, had ancient and mysterious characters that flickered with mysterious light appear in his palm!

They rapidly spread to the surroundings of this sky!

As these ancient, mysterious characters continued to spread, the entire space seemed to be shrouded by a strange power.

After finishing all this, Immortal Elder finally began to recuperate from his internal injuries.

In the darkness, Bai Xiaoyue and Qian Muxue quietly observed this scene.

"Xiaoyue, the only person currently alive in this Demonic Mist Forest Sea is inside the Demon Court below."

"However, this Demon Court is protected by a mysterious power."

"If we try to force our way in, it will definitely attract the attention of those two."

"Master, my husband is definitely inside this Demon Court... He won't die." Bai Xiaoyue said excitedly.

"As long as the Demon Court still exists, he must still be alive."

Upon hearing this, a look of astonishment appeared on Qian Muxue's face, which was like mutton-fat jade.

"Xiaoyue, he is a person from the Demon Court."

"Xiaoyue... do you know that all people from the Demon Court are disciples who practice evil arts?"

She truly could not imagine how her well-behaved disciple in her impression could seek a demonic cultivator as a cultivation partner.

"Master, Xiaoyue begs you, you must save my husband."

"Xiaoyue... Master cannot condone this matter!!"

"You are the Goddess of the Haoyue Ancient Kingdom; in the future, you are to govern the entire Haoyue Ancient Kingdom, stand at the peak of the Nine Provinces, and even have a great hope of attaining the current Emperor position."

"Master will absolutely not allow there to be a blemish in your life, and even less will I let a demonic cultivator be your cultivation partner."

Upon hearing these words, Bai Xiaoyue seemed to have made a big decision in her heart.

She then slowly said, "Master... if you are unwilling to save him... this disciple would rather give up her status as Goddess and die with him."

After experiencing the previous life, Bai Xiaoyue already understood Chu Chen's heart.

In this life, she had already decided that no matter what the outcome, she would stay by Chu Chen's side.

Once these words were spoken, Qian Muxue never expected that her disciple would actually say such things.

She immediately prepared to make a move, wanting to take Bai Xiaoyue back to the Haoyue Ancient Kingdom first.

Who would have known that Bai Xiaoyue seemed to know in advance what she was going to do.

"Master, do not think about taking me back to the Haoyue Ancient Kingdom first. This disciple's mind is made up. If he is truly dead."

"I have no desire to live on."
