575: Chapter 578 Seeking the Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect to Understand the Cause and Effect

The Divine Sword Sect Master was ecstatic.

No longer able to restrain himself, he lunged fiercely at Lu Chen.

He absolutely could not let the Old thing recover!

Back then, he had only managed to heavily wound the man through a sneak attack.

If the Old thing regained his Peak strength, he would have no chance of winning.

Rumble!

His fist slammed solidly onto Lu Chen's head.

The Divine Sword Sect Master rejoiced inwardly, thinking he would surely smash Lu Chen's head to a pulp.

But the expected blood and brains did not appear.

Lu Chen didn't even move an inch.

He remained focused on healing the old man.

"You little brat, how dare you ignore me?!"

Rumble!

Bang!

Rumble!

The Divine Sword Sect Master was fuming with rage, raining punches and kicks upon Lu Chen.

But every one of his attacks...

...was blocked by an invisible barrier, unable to touch Lu Chen in the slightest.

The Divine Sword Sect Master's pupils suddenly constricted.

What kind of defensive barrier was this?

Why was he unable to budge it even a little, despite putting in all his strength?

Something was wrong.

This kid only escaped six years ago; how could he have become so terrifying in such a short time?

While he attacked frantically, the old man's injuries had completely healed, and even his Foundation, damaged by the sneak attack years ago, began to repair rapidly.

It wouldn't be long before he returned to his Peak state.

"Stop! If you don't stop now, I'll kill these two Mortals!"

Realizing his attacks were useless, the Divine Sword Sect Master immediately turned his target toward Luon's parents...

...whom Lu Chen had always regarded as his own parents.

But even seeing this, Lu Chen remained unmoved.

"Fine, you forced my hand!"

The Divine Sword Sect Master said in a cold tone.

He thought Lu Chen was certain he wouldn't dare to act.

And so...

He unhesitatingly threw a punch at Luon's father.

Rumble!

Just like before, his fist landed on Samael, but it was like a stone sinking into the ocean, causing no damage at all.

Luon's father still stood there, completely unharmed.

At this moment, the Divine Sword Sect Master finally felt a hint of panic.

Was this kid's strength actually great enough to protect this couple from a distance?

His gaze fell upon the old man; where was there any trace of old age now?

The old man had restored himself to a handsome middle-aged man.

Clearly, his Foundation was mostly repaired.

The Divine Sword Sect Master was scared until his Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, and he turned to flee.

He knew very well that he was no match for the Sword Demon at his Peak.

But to his despair...

The cave's exit had been completely blocked by a mysterious energy at some point.

He desperately bombarded the energy barrier.

But he only felt an overwhelming pressure surge toward him.

The entire cave...

Was shrouded in this special energy.

At this time...

Grandpa, who had returned to his middle-aged appearance, slowly opened his eyes.

What met his eyes was Lu Chen's smiling face.

"Am I dead?"

"Lu Chen, you've grown so big... Why are you here? Could it be that you also..."

He asked with a dazed expression.

Lu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Old man, stop daydreaming! No one is dead! You still have to live well and continue enduring this crappy life."

Grandpa sat up abruptly and looked down at his body.

After a moment, his eyes widened, and his jaw nearly dropped in shock.

"My injuries... are they all healed?"

"How is this possible? I must be dreaming! I can't think of any other explanation!"

He was so excited he became incoherent, ecstatic with joy.

"Lu Chen, was it you? Did you heal me?"

He grabbed Lu Chen's arm and asked excitedly.

"Yeah, I've learned some skills over the years."

Lu Chen smiled faintly and changed the subject.

"Now, I have something serious to ask you. Do you want to deal with this Old thing yourself?"

"If you want, I can hand him over to you, but on one condition... you must kill him."

"If you're too soft-hearted to do it, then you don't need to worry about this."

Hearing this, Semu immediately remembered the Divine Sword Sect Master who was just here.

Lu Chen must be talking about him, right?

He looked down at the ground.

He saw the Divine Sword Sect Master slumped there, his face filled with despair.

"Senior Brother! Spare my life!"

"I know I was wrong! I am your Junior Brother! You can't kill me!"

"If Master's spirit in heaven sees his two disciples killing each other, he will be heartbroken!"

The Divine Sword Sect Master pleaded, trying to play the emotional card.

But Lu Chen's attitude was incredibly firm, stating categorically that there would be no mercy.

Either Semu did it, or he would do it himself.

Semu looked at the Junior Brother before him, his eyes filled with regret.

He was now certain.

Master's death back then definitely had everything to do with this despicable man.

"You should have died long ago!"

Semu roared, raised his hand to manifest a long sword, and slashed down.

Puchi!

The Divine Sword Sect Master's head fell to the ground.

He died on the spot.

After Semu killed the Divine Sword Sect Master, Lu Chen lightly snapped his fingers.

A faint wisp of flame appeared in his palm.

It then landed on the Divine Sword Sect Master's corpse.

The flames instantly consumed the body.

Now, the Divine Sword Sect Master was completely gone, without even a sliver of a chance of resurrection.

After dealing with the Divine Sword Sect Master, Lu Chen also healed Luon's parents.

Then he sent them into a spatial Magic Treasure...

...where Luon and the other humans were currently living.

Now that Grandpa Semu had joined them...

Lu Chen could transfer all these humans to live in the Origin Dimension.

He used his Divine Thought to inform Luon of the arrangements.

Having settled the matters here...

Lu Chen returned to the Origin Dimension.

Upon returning to the Origin Dimension...

Lu Chen immediately threw himself into bitter Cultivation.

He was waiting for Bokona to completely finish the Fusion with that Physical Body.

Once Bokona woke up, he would start dealing with that troublesome woman.

Thirty days later, Lu Chen slowly opened his eyes.

This past month, he hadn't slackened for even a moment.

[Host: Lu Chen]

[Rank: Four-Dimensional (33 Light Brown Marks)]

[Power: 300 Million Ultimate Marks]

[Spirit: 27.5 Billion Ultimate Marks]

[Soul Skill: Max Level Comprehension]

[System Ability: Myriad Manifestations Creation]

The reason he woke up today...

...was because Bokona had finally completed the Physical Body Fusion and was fully awake.

At this moment, a figure comparable to a Super-Dimensional Lord level was standing respectfully before him.

"Master, what are your orders?"

Bokona asked humbly.

"Be patient. That woman will soon come knocking with her father and other helpers."

"They will launch a massive assault on the Origin Dimension... or rather, on this 'Mausoleum'."

"When that time comes, it will be your turn to play the hero."

Throughout this month, Lu Chen had been pondering how to obtain Cultivation resources.

But he had overlooked something crucial...

...his System.
