511: Chapter 514 A Cage-like World

Unknowingly,

the Holy Village had become the place with the most powerful experts and the greatest wealth in the mortal realm.

Its wealth even surpassed the sum of the ten Empires of the Central Continent.

The group of people stepped down from the flying boat.

Leading them were an old man, a beautiful woman, and a handsome youth.

Behind them,

a coffin resembling a sarcophagus was floating.

The lid of the coffin was transparent.

Inside lay a woman of peerless beauty, sleeping peacefully.

They traveled through the air,

slowly flying toward Lu Chen's small yet exquisite wooden house.

After landing on the ground,

they saw an impossibly handsome young man sitting on a chair,

holding a fluffy, snow-white cat in his arms.

Standing beside the youth was another young man, warily staring at them.

"Holy Doctor Senior, we have brought the patient."

Irina said respectfully.

Like everyone else,

she also addressed Lu Chen as "Holy Doctor".

Lu Chen nodded, stood up, and walked to the coffin.

He looked at the woman inside through the transparent lid.

"Lu Chen, be careful."

Luon reminded him in a low voice from the side.

Lu Chen, however, turned to look at the old man.

He spoke lightly,

"Old thing, your injuries are quite severe. Who injured you like this? Aren't you reputed to be the strongest existence in the mortal realm?"

The old man immediately looked embarrassed,

but his heart was filled with shock.

The youth before him looked like just a young brat.

Although people with profound cultivation could conceal their age,

it was impossible to conceal it to this extent.

Moreover,

he could actually see his old wound.

This matter, besides himself, no second person in the world knew about it.

Back then, he was severely injured when he fought that Outer Realm Heavenly Demon.

It was just that he publicly claimed

that he had slain that Heavenly Demon with a mere flick of his finger.

"We can discuss these matters later. Let's open the lid first."

Lu Chen redirected his gaze to the woman in the coffin.

"Holy Doctor Sir, the Empress's body is extremely sensitive to external environments. Even if she is a Tenth Order expert, the moment the lid is opened, her body will immediately begin to rot."

Irina quickly explained.

Lu Chen said nothing,

but quietly waited for them to open the coffin lid.

Belisar glanced at Irina,

then carefully opened the coffin lid.

However,

to everyone's shock,

the Empress's body was completely unharmed, showing no signs of decay whatsoever.

"How is this possible? How can this be?"

Belisar muttered in disbelief.

Lu Chen, however, remained calm, as if he had expected this outcome long ago.

He extended his right hand and held it suspended above the Empress's head,

activating his Healing Talent.

A gentle energy slowly flowed into the Empress's body.

But in the very next second,

the Empress's body suddenly began to rot rapidly.

Belisar immediately panicked.

Could this young brat really heal his wife?

His heart began to pound.

Lu Chen let out a cold sneer,

"Hiding and sneaking around, is that interesting?"

As soon as the words fell,

he increased the output of his energy.

Suddenly, the Empress violently opened her eyes.

But those eyes were pitch black, devoid of any spirit.

"Brat, mind your own business! Otherwise, this woman is done for!"

A cold, sinister voice emerged from the Empress's mouth.

Lu Chen remained completely unconcerned.

He suddenly snapped his fingers.

The surrounding space was instantly swallowed by darkness.

Lu Chen slowly floated into mid-air,

his body continuously growing larger.

Finally, he transformed into the appearance of the 'Lu Chen' from his dreams.

His gaze was piercingly cold,

and an extremely terrifying pressure swept out from him.

The old man, Irina, and Belisar were caught off guard,

instantly pressed down until they knelt on the ground.

This scene could only be seen by the three of them,

because Lu Chen had already used his Domain

to isolate this space from the outside world.

The Empress in the box also slowly floated into mid-air.

"Separate."

Lu Chen softly uttered two words.

In an instant,

the Empress's body and Soul were forcibly separated.

Her Soul did not belong to her alone,

but was a Fusion of her Soul and the Soul of a terrifying Heavenly Demon.

The old man saw this scene,

his body trembling violently.

Only he knew how terrifying this Heavenly Demon was.

"How is this possible? I clearly used the ancestral Demon-Slaying Seal to personally kill it!"

The Heavenly Demon let out a disdainful sneer,

"Old thing, did you really think that with your meager Dao, you could kill me?"

The old man trembled with anger, yet his heart was filled with fear.

Back then,

in order to slay this Heavenly Demon, he did not hesitate to use the ancestral Demon-Slaying Seal,

even damaging his Origin in the process.

But he never expected that

this Heavenly Demon not only failed to die,

but even possessed the Empress of the Empire he guarded.

This was simply a monumental humiliation for him.

However, he clearly knew

that he was currently no match for this Heavenly Demon.

Firstly, he was long past his Peak state, and the ancestral Demon-Slaying Seal was also destroyed in that great battle.

Secondly, the Heavenly Demon had already deeply fused with the Empress's Soul.

If he rashly attacked, he would only harm the Empress and would be unable to touch the Heavenly Demon's main body at all.
