17: Chapter 17 Destruction and Rebirth: The Blazing Sun Imperial Body!

As the System's voice faded.

Immediately,

Zhou Yuxuan felt a warm current flowing through his body.

Before long, he quietly broke through to the third level of the Golden Body Realm.

After Su Chen left.

Everyone put Su Chen's matter out of their minds and turned their attention back to Zhou Yuxuan.

"Your Highness Saint, congratulations on clearing the hundredth floor of the Tianyuan Holy Tower. This is truly an unprecedented and unparalleled achievement!"

"Your Highness Saint, I wonder what kind of monster was on that hundredth floor? To think that since our Holy Sect was founded, you are the only one who has ever cleared it."

"..."

The surrounding Disciples walked toward Zhou Yuxuan and soon surrounded him.

As one Disciple curiously asked who the guardian of the hundredth floor was, everyone immediately pricked up their ears to listen intently.

Even several Elders were among them, silently listening out of curiosity.

"Ahem! Junior Brothers, actually, the guardian of the hundredth floor is no different from those on other floors. He was merely an Incarnation of an Ancient Great Emperor."

Zhou Yuxuan spoke quite casually, as if it were of no consequence.

"Hiss!"

As his words fell, the surrounding Disciples couldn't help but gasp, looking at Zhou Yuxuan as if he were a monster.

"Tsk tsk! An Incarnation of an Ancient Great Emperor? Yuxuan actually defeated a Great Emperor's Incarnation? Young people these days are truly terrifying!"

A kind-looking old man stroked his long beard and said with deep emotion.

"Indeed! An Ancient Great Emperor is invincible within the same Realm. Since Yuxuan is in the Golden Body Realm, the Great Emperor's Incarnation he encountered must also have been in the Golden Body Realm. Yet, that Great Emperor's Incarnation was defeated. It seems our Holy Sect has produced a true Dragon!"

"..."

The Elders all looked at Zhou Yuxuan in the crowd, their eyes filled with admiration.

The Ninth Elder, who had previously stepped forward to save Su Chen's Face, retreated to his position.

He looked at Zhou Yuxuan with a gloomy expression.

"Yuxuan, come to my Immortal Cave later; Revered Master has something to ask you."

Suddenly, Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect spoke.

Before anyone could react, her figure had already vanished.

Soon, after everyone came to their senses, they looked at their Saint with great surprise.

"What? His Highness Saint has actually become the Ancestral Master's Disciple? When did this happen? Could it be that my, Old Wang next door's, information is outdated?"

"..."

Zhou Yuxuan felt somewhat puzzled hearing Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect's voice.

However, he didn't linger and hurried toward Founder of Tianyuan Holy Sect's Immortal Cave.

...

At this time, in an unknown dangerous land within the Shengyuan World.

A middle-aged man sitting cross-legged in cultivation suddenly opened his eyes.

A blood-red, ominous light flashed through his pitch-black eyes.

"Zhou Yuxuan? The Young Master of the Zhou Family from the Eastern Region?"

"An interesting person indeed. I hope that next time we meet, you can bring this Emperor some surprises."

The middle-aged man murmured.

Just then, a figure suddenly descended from the horizon.

A hurried voice followed.

"Old man Baitian, there's no more time! We have to withdraw from the Immortal Burying Mountain Range immediately. That Tomb Keeper has come out again."

"..."

...

Tianyuan Holy Sect, Outer Sect.

The moment Su Chen returned to his Outer Sect residence and stepped into his house, he could finally no longer hold it in.

With a "Wa" sound, he spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"Kid Chen!"

Seeing Su Chen's miserable state, the remnant soul in his mind finally couldn't help but emerge, supporting Su Chen just as he was about to crash headfirst onto the ground.

"Revered Master! I..."

Su Chen spoke with difficulty.

The scene that had just occurred seemed engraved in his mind, impossible to forget. As soon as he closed his eyes, he could see himself kneeling.

He saw the scene where the people around him, though their expressions were calm, were mocking him intensely in their hearts.

Most importantly, whenever he closed his eyes, he would remember the scene of walking out of the Tianyuan Holy Tower and seeing the woman he loved being toyed with by Zhou Yuxuan.

"Sigh! Kid Chen, your Heart-Nature is still a bit lacking."

"Humiliation is something every person who treads the path of cultivation will encounter. The insults Revered Master suffered when I was weak were far more severe than what you just experienced.

Family members being humiliated right before my eyes, being forced by others to crawl through dog holes and eat dog feces..."

Although the aged figure had a look of reminiscence on his Face, his eyes were filled with tyrannical killing intent.

Clearly, even a powerhouse like him, after all these years, had not forgotten the humiliation he suffered when he was weak.

"However, Chen'er, do you know how I avenged that humiliation back then?"

The old man said calmly.

"By striking back directly?" Su Chen's complexion had improved significantly as he began to answer his Revered Master's question.

"No! Chen'er, striking back at a powerhouse when you have no strength is a foolish act. What Revered Master did back then was rely on the word 'endurance' to survive."

"Then, Revered Master engraved that humiliation in my heart and cultivated like a madman until I possessed the strength to rival those powerhouses. Only then did I choose to take my revenge."

Speaking to this point, the old man sighed with regret.

"However, although my great revenge was satisfied, because a Heart Demon had been planted for so long, I suffered a backlash from the Heart Demon when breaking through to the Saint Realm and perished on the spot."

Listening to his Revered Master, who had taken him as a Disciple by chance, open up his heart, the resentment Su Chen felt from being humiliated weakened significantly.

"Revered Master, don't worry, I won't do anything foolish."

"I, Su Chen, still have important things to do. While I am indeed no match for Zhou Yuxuan right now, it doesn't mean I won't be in the future.

No one can be invincible for their entire life, and that includes Zhou Yuxuan!"

Su Chen reignited his Battle Intent, and his injured body recovered quickly.

"Yes, very good. Chen'er, it seems that through this incident, you have truly undergone a great change."

The old man said to Su Chen with satisfaction.

"By the way, Revered Master, why do I feel a great heat in my body, and there's a surge of powerful energy wanting to gush out?"

Hearing this, a flash of excitement crossed the old man's eyes, and he raised a trembling hand to touch Su Chen.

"This... this is the Blazing Sun Imperial Body! Chen'er, you've activated the Blazing Sun Imperial Body!"

"The Blazing Sun Imperial Body?!!" Su Chen's breathing quickened upon hearing this; clearly, he also knew what the Blazing Sun Imperial Body signified.

"Chen'er, you can't stay in the Tianyuan Holy Sect any longer. You've offended Zhou Yuxuan; if they find out you've inadvertently activated this Physique, they won't let you go."

The old man quickly suppressed his joy and spoke solemnly.

"Alright, Revered Master, I'll go pack my things right away."

Su Chen didn't dare to delay and quickly began to pack his belongings.

What the two didn't know was that at this moment, a pair of eyes was watching them from a distance.

"Blazing Sun Imperial Body?"

"No wonder the Young Lord told me to keep a secret watch on Su Chen. To think that after having his Dao Heart nearly shattered by the Young Lord's humiliation, he would actually have such an Opportunity."

"This is a matter of great importance; I must report this to the Young Lord!"
