22: Enhance the power of immortals and demons, and return on the Nine Dragon Immortal Chariot!

Inside the Cold Moon Palace, Xuan Tianchen sat cross-legged, his eyes closed as if in meditation.

“System, bring up my personal attribute panel!”

【Name: Xuan Tianchen】

【Realm: Immortal Path: Immortal Lord Realm First Level, Demonic Path: Immortal King Realm First Level】

【Physique: Chaos Body, Heart of the Demon God】

【Identity: Son of the Xuan Ming Immortal Emperor, Xuan Clan Imperial Son, leader of the prodigies of the upper heavens, reincarnation of the chaos demon god】

【Cultivation Techniques: Xuan Clan Imperial Scripture, Chaos Demon Art, Eternal Undying Secret Codex】

【Artifacts: zhūtiān battle halberd (quasi-emperor weapon), wheel of the demon god (quasi-emperor weapon), ten thousand souls banner (supreme dao artifact)...】

【villain points: 220,000 points】

【Number of Child of Destiny killed: 2】

“How should I spend these 220,000 villain points?”

Xuan Tianchen frowned slightly, lost in thought.

A short while later, he softly said, “System, transfer to the mall.”

Following Xuan Tianchen’s instruction, the system's display abruptly shifted.

A dazzling array of items in a mall immediately appeared before him, each shining with a strange light, making him feel a little overwhelmed.

Initially, Xuan Tianchen had planned to purchase a quasi-emperor weapon to enhance his strength.

However, when he saw the enormous numbers marked next to them, he immediately dismissed that idea.

Even the lowest-grade quasi-emperor weapon required a staggering one million villain points!

This meant he would have to kill at least ten Children of Destiny to accumulate enough points.

Seeing that purchasing a quasi-emperor weapon was out of reach, Xuan Tianchen quickly shifted his focus to improving his cultivation.

After all, apart from the top-tier artifacts above quasi-emperor weapons, as the Xuan Clan Imperial Son, Xuan Tianchen simply didn't care for other ordinary artifacts!

The ten thousand souls banner, a supreme dao artifact, was only kept by Xuan Tianchen because of its potential to advance.

When Xuan Tianchen’s gaze fell upon the villain points required to advance his current realm, the slight apprehension in his heart finally eased.

“Advancing the Immortal Lord Realm by one level requires ten thousand villain points; advancing the Immortal King Realm by one level requires twenty thousand villain points. This is still within an acceptable range!” he pondered to himself.

“System, use twenty thousand villain points to advance my Immortal Path cultivation, and use eighty thousand villain points to advance my Demonic Path cultivation!”

After a careful deliberation, Xuan Tianchen decisively chose to spend one hundred thousand villain points to advance his cultivation realm.

And the power of the Demon God, being his greatest trump card, was naturally the primary target for significant improvement.

As the villain points rapidly disappeared, an extremely dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from Xuan Tianchen’s body.

The brilliant light instantly illuminated the entire Cold Moon Palace.

Immediately after, two thunderous roars, like claps of thunder, violently reverberated.

The deafening sound sent shivers down one's spine.

At this moment, Xuan Tianchen’s Immortal Path cultivation aura surged like a mighty tide.

It directly broke through from the Immortal Lord Realm First Level, swiftly advancing into the Immortal Lord Realm Third Level.

In just a moment, before the astonishing phenomena triggered by the Immortal Path cultivation advancement could dissipate,

two extremely sharp demonic lights suddenly shot out from Xuan Tianchen’s blood-red eyes.

The blood-red demonic light was almost tangible, sending a chill down one's spine.

Following this, a surging, overwhelming demonic flame erupted from all around him.

The demonic flame burned fiercely, as if it would incinerate everything.

In an instant, a towering Demon God Dharma Idol, looking down upon all heavens, manifested behind Xuan Tianchen.

The Demon God Dharma Idol was immense and majestic, exuding boundless Chaos power and domineering aura.

And Xuan Tianchen’s Demonic Path cultivation, at this moment, ascended rapidly without any bottlenecks, like a wild horse unbridled.

It smoothly progressed all the way from the Immortal King Realm First Level to the Immortal King Realm Fifth Level!

The immense power of the Demon God was astonishing.

Fortunately, with the system’s concealment, such a vast demonic aura would have alarmed the entire upper heavens in an instant.

At this moment, clearly sensing the exhilaration brought by the increase in immortal and demonic power,

Xuan Tianchen’s face involuntarily revealed an expression of intoxication and enjoyment.

After all, in this brutal and cutthroat world of cultivation where the strong prey on the weak,

there was truly nothing more tangible and reliable than firmly grasping powerful strength in one's own hands.

“Retract!”

With a thought from Xuan Tianchen, the surging immortal and demonic power

instantly converged and rapidly returned to his body.

And the earth-shattering phenomena that had just occurred vanished without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if they had never existed.

The entire main hall of the Cold Moon Palace also returned to its former peace and tranquility.

Only the faint, powerful aura emanating from Xuan Tianchen seemed to still recount everything that had just happened... The next morning, Ye Linger, amidst the complex emotions of farewell from Ye Nantian and the high-ranking members of the Immortal Ye Family,

slowly walked out of the solemn and majestic council hall with somewhat heavy steps.

At this time, Xuan Tianchen and Elder Yan had already been standing in the vast sky above the Immortal Ye Family, waiting for a long time.

Ye Nantian slightly raised his eyes, glancing at the two figures in the sky, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.

A moment later, his profound gaze slowly lowered to look at the graceful Ye Linger before him.

He spoke with a solemn expression, tinged with reluctance, “Ling’er, you must remember what your father told you!”

“Mm-hmm, Father, you must also take good care of yourself!” Ye Linger nodded gently, tears glistening in her eyes.

After bidding farewell to everyone, her figure flickered, and like a bolt of lightning, she instantly landed beside Xuan Tianchen.

“Everyone, we shall take our leave!” Xuan Tianchen looked down at the crowd from above, a faint smile on his face.

Immediately after, he swung his right hand, a move both elegant and powerful.

In just a blink of an eye, a supreme immortal carriage, driven by nine divine dragons, materialized as if from a dream.

The immortal carriage exuded an unparalleled magnificent aura, its entire body shimmering with dazzling light.

The lights intertwined, appearing exceptionally grand and splendid.

Not only that, the aura emanating from the nine divine dragons was also quite extraordinary.

Upon closer inspection, they were all divine beasts of the Saint Emperor Realm!

After witnessing this scene, the members of the Immortal Ye Family all involuntarily showed expressions of extreme shock.

“These are... Saint Emperor Realm divine dragons!” someone exclaimed in surprise.

“To use the incredibly noble Dragon Clan as mounts, what immense power and courage this must take!”

“The Xuan Clan truly lives up to its name as an Imperial Clan; what a grand gesture!”

“Perhaps throughout the entire upper heavens, only the Xuan Clan would dare to act in such a manner, with such courage and strength!”

Amidst their shock, the members of the Immortal Ye Family also sincerely marveled at the Xuan Clan’s power.

After all, as one of the top divine beast families of the upper heavens, the Dragon Clan’s strength even surpassed that of most Immortal Dao Lineages.

Furthermore, the strong individuals of the Dragon Clan were all known for their fiery tempers.

Let alone capturing them as mounts, anyone who dared to even slightly disrespect their juniors would immediately face the Dragon Clan’s furious retaliation.

Therefore, throughout the entire upper heavens, strong individuals and forces capable of using the Dragon Clan as mounts were extremely rare.

However, Xuan Tianchen, this Xuan Clan Imperial Son, possessed nine Saint Emperor Realm divine dragons as mounts.

His esteemed status and impressive demeanor were enough to proudly look down upon the entire upper heavens.

“Ling’er, come in with me!”

Xuan Tianchen gently took Ye Linger’s fair little hand and then stepped into the incomparably luxurious immortal carriage.

Even though she was a heavenly pride of the Immortal Ye Family, seeing the awe-inspiring Nine Dragon Immortal Carriage before her, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

“Elder Yan, let’s go!” Xuan Tianchen softly said to Elder Yan, who was at the front of the immortal carriage.

“Yes, Imperial Son!” Elder Yan respectfully responded, then skillfully drove the Nine Dragon Immortal Carriage away at high speed.

In just an instant, it completely vanished from the Immortal Ye Family's territory, traversing several immortal domains like a bolt of lightning.

“If this child fully matures, he might even be more astonishing than the Xuan Ming Immortal Emperor. For the young people of this generation to be born in the same era as him, they are probably destined to never rise!”

Ye Nantian gazed towards the Xuanjian Immortal Domain, his heart filled with emotion, letting out a long sigh.
