19: Chapter 19 Bai Xiaoyue's Rebirth, Before the Demon God Rises

Xuanhuang Chamber of Commerce.

"Shopkeeper Lu, thank you for helping me today; Chu Chen owes you a favor."

"Hey, hold it, Chu Xiaozi. If you want to thank someone, thank that girl Shuangxue. If I hadn't promised her, I wouldn't have bothered to manage this."

"Shopkeeper Lu, are you talking about Junior Sister Lu Shuangxue?"

"Who else could it be? But I really don't understand that girl Shuangxue. Why on earth did she fall for a brat like you?"

Hearing this, Chu Chen said softly, "Shopkeeper Lu, may I see Junior Sister Shuangxue?"

"Don't even think about it, kid. That girl Shuangxue has peerless talent. If it weren't for the clan's training, you wouldn't have been able to meet her."

"Furthermore, the girl Shuangxue possesses the clan's divine blood. After entering the Mortal Shedding Realm, she will awaken her divine body and completely unleash her inner potential. The distance between you two will only grow wider."

Seeing that Chu Chen did not speak, Lu Ling thought his words were too harsh and had hurt the heart of the youth before him.

He then consoled him, "Chu Xiaozi, of course, if you can rise against the heavens in the future, it's not impossible for you and that girl Shuangxue."

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Lu. Even if I, Chu Chen, have no protection from my ancestors' legacy, and no divine blood in my body, I believe that relying on myself, I can still reach the end of the Dao."

Withered Snake Mountain Range.

Bolts of thunder slithered across Chu Chen's body like spirit snakes.

"Zzzzt~"

The sound of thunder crackled incessantly on Chu Chen's body. At this moment, Chu Chen had successfully comprehended the Thousand Extinction Thunder Daoist Art.

The Thousand Extinction Thunder Daoist Art is divided into three divine abilities: thunder armor, Thunder Extreme Intent, and Thunder Domain.

The thunder armor can transform the power of thunder to wrap around the entire body, forming an armor state.

Thunder Extreme Intent is a trace of the ultimate meaning of the thunder law; it grants immunity to all soul attacks. Furthermore, if it breaks through the opponent's defense, Thunder Extreme Intent can kill the enemy's soul in one strike.

Thunder Domain: Once the Thunder Domain is activated, anyone who steps into the Thunder Domain will feel their body become as heavy as a thousand jun, and their strength will be suppressed.

The Thousand Extinction Thunder Daoist Art has three levels in total, and Chu Chen has already cultivated all three to perfection.

Half a year had passed since the Five Sects Discourse trial.

Many strange cultivators had also come to Kuidou City, each arrogant and looking down on the natives of Kuidou City.

"I don't know who leaked the news. How could a tiny Kuidou City have the Nine Dragons Heavenly Heart Seal?"

"Senior Brother, I heard that the Nine Dragons Heavenly Heart Seal was taken by a youth named Chu Chen."

"A nobody from a tiny place like this is worthy of possessing the Nine Dragons Heavenly Heart Seal? Once I find him, I will definitely grind his bones to dust."

Withered Snake Mountain Range.

At this moment, the entire mountain range was shrouded by the ten thousand soul banner. For the past half year, apart from cultivating the Thousand Extinction Thunder Daoist Art, he had been fighting the demonic beasts within this Withered Snake Mountain Range every day.

The Heavenly Dao is heartless, treating all things as straw dogs. Today, I will borrow the living beings in this Withered Snake Mountain Range to help me break through to the Mortal Shedding Realm.

Boom!

At this moment, the entire Withered Snake Mountain Range was enveloped in a scarlet light, dyeing the horizon a deep red.

Chu Chen sat at the peak of the Withered Snake Mountain Range. After all the living beings in the Withered Snake Mountain Range were refined by the ten thousand soul banner, they fed back their origin essence into Chu Chen's body.

Boom!

His mind suddenly exploded, and images were reflected within it.

He was floating in the heavens and myriad worlds, like a grain of sand, or even smaller. He didn't know how long he had been floating when Chu Chen saw a youth who looked exactly like him.

The youth seemed to notice Chu Chen as well. A ripple seemed to appear in those ancient, hollow eyes, and then he pointed a finger, causing the entire galaxy to explode.

In an instant, Chu Chen woke up. The youth who looked exactly like him was actually also a Demon God Body.

Is this the true awakened Demon God Body? After the system integrated the Demon God Body into him, apart from his talent becoming better than before, Chu Chen had not discovered any other effects.

Unexpectedly, the Demon God Body only fully awakens after reaching the Mortal Shedding Realm.

Terrifying Demonic Power surged from within Chu Chen's body straight into the firmament. The sky changed color, and winds and clouds gathered.

Immortals and demons bowed in worship, a phantom of a Demon God appeared, the four sacred beasts cried out, an Immortal King descended upon the nine heavens, the bright moon rose from the sea, and a Chaos Seed Golden Lotus bloomed.

"What kind of constitution did you awaken, kid? In my era, I had never seen anyone awaken so many visions. Could you be the reincarnation of a Great Emperor?"

"No, that's not right. Even before the Great Emperors of the past attained the Dao, they didn't have so many visions. Could this kid be even more terrifying than a Great Emperor?"

"Forget it, forget it. If I don't act, once a powerful being comes searching for these visions, you will surely die, and I will not escape destruction."

Subsequently, Ming Yuan appeared beside Chu Chen, watching him while he was still in the process of awakening.

A black stone floated in Ming Yuan's hand, and then the black stone turned into a black ray of light, shooting straight towards the firmament.

In an instant, the entire East Xuan Empire became illusory, as if it did not exist in this world.

Some powerful beings tried to calculate the person who awakened the visions, but they could only determine that this person was born in the East Xuan Empire. They could not calculate who it specifically was, not even their surname.

At the Tianji Pavilion, an old man with white hair and dull eyes looked up at the starry sky and whispered, "Who could actually interfere with the heavenly secrets?"

Haoyue Ancient Kingdom.

"Master, this disciple has made up her mind. I must go to the East Xuan Empire." A young girl wearing a white skirt said softly.

Her face was like jade, stunningly beautiful, and her eyes were like water yet exceptionally determined, radiating a cold and arrogant light.

"Xiaoyue, this East Xuan Empire is but a tiny place in the Nine Provinces Continent, with scarce spiritual energy. Even if you want to find a place for training, you don't need to go to such a barren land."

Under the moonlight, she wore a snow-white robe with a straight collar, the fabric draping beautifully. A wide belt with moon-white auspicious cloud patterns was tied around her waist, and only a piece of ink jade of excellent quality hung from it.

Just standing there gave one the feeling of a superior, and this person was one of the strongest experts in the Nine Provinces Continent, Qian Muxue.

"Master, although this East Xuan Empire lacks spiritual energy, this disciple feels that my destiny lies there. If I don't go, I fear it will nurture inner demons and affect my Dao heart."

"Since there is a destiny for you, Xiaoyue, then Master will say nothing more. Go, Xiaoyue. If anything happens, Master will take responsibility."

Master... Bai Xiaoyue looked at the person before her with a face full of emotion. If she hadn't offended him back then, the Haoyue Ancient Kingdom probably wouldn't have been destroyed because of it.

Bai Xiaoyue was reborn, reborn at a time before that Demon God had risen.

In her previous life, in the Heavenly Mystery Realm, the Demon God Chu Chen, who had not yet grown up, had already stirred up a storm of blood. She had also been saved by him by chance.

After a short time together, Bai Xiaoyue gradually developed feelings for him. Of course, Bai Xiaoyue could also feel that the person before her liked her.

If it had only stopped there, it would have been a beautiful story. Moreover, perhaps under Chu Chen's protection, the Haoyue Ancient Kingdom could have become the number one power in the Nine Provinces Continent.

However, after the Heavenly Mystery Realm ended, upon hearing that Chu Chen was a Great Demonic Cultivator who killed without blinking and slaughtered millions of lives at the drop of a hat.

Bai Xiaoyue chose to stand on the side of justice. Although she did not personally hunt down Chu Chen, she had scolded him because of this matter.

This battle was unavoidable. Except for her, Chu Chen killed all the geniuses present.

It wasn't until the older generation took action that his behavior was curbed, but he still managed to escape.

Five hundred years later, he rose against the heavens to become an Emperor, and he settled scores one by one with every power that had attacked him, putting them into that ten thousand soul banner that exuded demonic energy.

Bai Xiaoyue regretted it very much. She regretted why she hadn't stood on Chu Chen's side back then, and why a demon cultivator who killed without blinking would have reached out to save her.

She finally understood now. In her previous life, it must have been because these people coveted the divine abilities and secret treasures Chu Chen obtained in the Heavenly Mystery Realm that they called him a demon cultivator.

Bai Xiaoyue, oh Bai Xiaoyue, how could you have been so stupid in your previous life? Now that I have been allowed to live again, I will certainly leave no regrets.

Chu Chen, wait for me. In this life, I will exhaust everything to make up for the mistakes I made.
