Chapter 281: Demon, The Crown Prince Mutates!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the Dragon Palace of the East Ocean.
Ye Ping was cultivating with his legs crossed in the Dragon Transformation Pool.
In his dantian, there were nine round and glossy Golden Cores hovering, each emitting a bright ray of light.
That meant that Ye Ping had entered the Major Perfection of the Golden Core realm.
However, there was still more than half of the golden liquid left in the dragon pond. Ye Ping did not intend to break through to the Nascent Soul realm.
He hadn’t perfected the Nascent Soul cultivation method, so he was planning to go back and ask Su Changyu how he should perfectly condense the Nascent Soul.
Hence, he planned to take advantage of the energy in the Dragon Transformation Pool to allow the Great G.o.dfiend body that was at the Major Perfection stage to break through to the Supreme G.o.dfiend Body.
Having cultivated the Ancient G.o.dfiend Body Tempering Technique for such a long time, Ye Ping had always known about the importance of his physical body.
Without much thought, the liquid in the Dragon Transformation Pool slowly flowed into his body through his pores.
The Torch Dragon Immortal Apertures were being refined too.
Initially, the Great G.o.dfiend body had already reached Major Perfection, which was the last step. Now that there was more than enough spiritual energy, it was extremely easy for Ye Ping to break through.
In fact, Ye Ping felt that being in the Dragon Transformation Pool would allow his physical body to be improved even without the Ancient G.o.dfiend Body Tempering Technique.
Roar!
Terrifying sounds of dragon roars filled the air.
Several True Dragons appeared in the Dragon Transformation Pool. They were Ye Ping’s Blood and Qi True Dragon.
The Blood and Qi True Dragon had a faint gold l.u.s.ter that made it seem sacred and extraordinary.
At the same time, Ye Ping’s Blood and Qi Furnace seemed to be made of Immortal Gold while the sounds of Blood and Qi operating sounded continuously like a boiling Eternal Divine Furnace.
At this moment, Ye Ping’s Great G.o.dfiend body broke through to the Supreme G.o.dfiend realm.
Ye Ping exhaled.
He felt like his body was full of power and he had become a completely different being.
Besides, he could also sense that apart from an improvement in his physical body, his Supreme G.o.dfiend body also obtained a special characteristic.
That was the oppressive nature of the G.o.dfiend.
All demons and ferocious beasts would seem to have been suppressed and shudder in front of him.
Even if their strength was similar, they would be in fear before fighting and lose 30% of their power.
That was terrifying.
However, at this moment…
Su Changyu appeared in the hall on a Qilin.
When he saw Ye Ping, he called out in surprise.
“Little Junior Brother.”
Ye Ping immediately snapped out of his trance.
He opened his eyes and immediately saw Su Changyu riding on a Qilin.
He inhaled sharply.
Ye Ping gasped in shock.
Su Changyu was too extraordinary.
His sharp eyebrows, starry eyes, handsome features, and the Qilin he was riding were all invincible.
Ye Ping was surprised because he didn’t expect Su Changyu to be riding a Qilin.
‘Senior Brother has really hidden it well, I’ve never ridden a Qilin before.’
“Eldest Senior Brother, why are you here?”
Ye Ping was overjoyed as he was surprised that Su Changyu was here.
‘Seems like Senior Brother is worried about my danger, and so he rode the Qilin out to come look for me.’
“I’m here to see you for some matters.”
Su Changyu got off the Qilin and said calmly.
“Eldest Senior Brother, what’s the matter?”
Ye Ping asked curiously.
“Put your attention away.”
Su Changyu said calmly.
Ye Ping did as he was told.
Su Changyu then raised his hand and a jade stone of the Son of Destiny appeared.
The jade stone was s.h.i.+ning brightly at Ye Ping.
At the same time…
In the Heart-Nurturing Palace of the Great Xia Dynasty.
“Your Majesty, I found a secret mystery in the ancient cla.s.sics and the situation is similar to the Crown Prince’s situation.”
The Hall Master of the Heavenly Secret Hall said.
“What’s going on?”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty immediately asked.
“There will be a demon born in the world every era, and these demons will continuously absorb the evil of this world. Once the evilness acc.u.mulates, it will turn into a world-destroying demon.”
“The Crown Prince’s situation is similar to this, but there are no such traces in the Crown Prince’s hall.”
The master of the Heavenly Secret Hall said.
“Demons destroy the world.”
When the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty heard this, he was dumbfounded and his expression changed.
‘It’s only been a while and you’re telling me that my eldest son might be a demon that can destroy the world?’
‘Is it that impressive?’
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty was dumbfounded.
He immediately knew how severe things were. Although the Hall Master of the Heavenly Secret Hall said that the situation was similar, the fact that it was mentioned by the Hall Master proved that the possibility was high.
“How can we solve the matter in this situation?”
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty immediately asked.
“In this situation, you have to inform the Heavenly Supervisory.”
The Hall Master of the Heavenly Secret Hall said.
The emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty fell silent.
If it were like what the Hall Master of the Heavenly Secret Hall said and that the Crown Prince was a demon, the Heavenly Supervisory would definitely deal with him severely.
On the other hand, Xia Qian woke up and said indifferently with a calm expression.
“Su Changyu, the Son of Destiny.”
“Given the current situation that I’m in, I can’t stay in this palace any longer. However, I will return.”
Xia Qian looked at the black lotus in his essence soul while muttering to himself. He then stood up immediately.
At the same time, outside the Qingyun Mountain Range.
A figure appeared.
It was none other than Daoist Xu Xuan.
He looked in the direction of the Qingyun Dao Sect.
Since he was already aware of Daoist Tai Xuan’s death, he was very careful and tried to conceal his aura, not daring to get too close.
However, just after arriving here, he could feel an extremely terrifying sword intent that spread from the Qingyun Dao Sect.
He was also a Sword Dao cultivator who could clearly sense the terrifying thing about the sword intent.
‘Ma.s.sive! Magnificent! Infinite! All things can be contained!’
Daoist Xu Xuan was somehow astonished.
If the sword intent was left behind by Su Changyu after he killed Daoist Tai Xuan, how terrifying would he be?
When he felt this sword intent, Daoist Xu Xuan knew that he didn’t have to continue checking.
Just as Daoist Xu Xuan was preparing to leave…
A middle-aged man dressed in green with a wooden sword on his back appeared.
It was Gu Jianxian.
When Daoist Xu Xuan appeared in the Qingyun Mountain range, Gu Jianxian immediately sensed his presence.
When Gu Jianxian saw Daoist Xu Xuan, he couldn’t help but be shocked.
‘Didn’t he die at Su Changyu’s hands?’
He was well aware and he immediately sensed that the person in front of him was not Daoist Tai Xuan because his aura was different.
Gu Jianxian did not hesitate and simply pulled his sword out.
Regardless of whether he was Daoist Tai Xuan or not, he obviously had malicious intentions for sneaking over to the Qingyun Dao Sect.
As the disciple of the head disciple of the Qingyun Dao Sect, he was also part of the Qingyun Dao Sect so there was no way he could sit back and do nothing.
Gu Jianxian drew his sword and attacked without any fancy moves or sword techniques. It was just like an ordinary sword.
That was the last true sword move that he pulled after comprehending the supreme Sword Dao.
In an instant, Daoist Xu Xuan’s physical body was fixed by Dharmic powers.
“How is that possible!?!”
Daoist Xu Xuan’s face was full of shock as he stared at Gu Jianxian in disbelief.
He naturally knew who Gu Jianxian was.
In fact, his power was terrifying.
“How is it so powerful!?!”
However, Gu Jianxian merely slashed his sword downwards with a calm expression.
Boom!
The sword contained the power of everything in the world and the thunderous boom in the clear skies was terrifying.
Daoist Xu Xuan had a hunch that he was in danger. At this moment, he knew that he was no match for Gu Jianxian.
‘Escape!’
‘I must escape immediately!’
‘Psht!’
In an instant, Daoist Xu Xuan’s body turned into a black ray of light and he escaped extremely quickly.
His speed was extremely terrifying and it seemed to be a Mystical Ability that allowed him to flee explosively.
“If I let him escape, I’d be letting Master down.”
“If I can comprehend 1% of what my master has… I’d gain a foothold with just my sword.”
Gu Jianxian watched Daoist Xu Xuan vanish, but he did not chase him. He simply muttered to himself.
He then returned to the rear cliff of the Qingyun Dao Sect.
That sword just now made Gu Jianxian see his future in the Sword Dao.
If it was in the past, he might not be able to defeat Daoist Xu Xuan in a battle. Even if he could, it would take more than one sword move.
At the same time, Daoist Xu Xuan returned to the ground and concealed his aura with his Mystical Abilities.
“How is this possible? How could Gu Jianxian have such strength? Could he have proven his Dao and become a Sword Immortal? That’s impossible.”
Daoist Xu Xuan turned pale as he was full of disbelief.
He couldn’t figure out why Gu Jianxian was that strong.
At the same time, this trip made Daoist Xu Xuan certain of Daoist Tai Xuan’s death.
He had been killed by Su Changyu.
On the other hand, he also discovered that Su Changyu was the Son of Destiny.
His method of becoming an immortal was to sacrifice the Son of Destiny to revive the Fiendcelestial.
Now, his hopes of reviving it seemed bleak.
When he met Su Changyu’s disciple, Gu Jianxian, he would have to flee, what more Su Changyu.
If he met Su Changyu, who was even more powerful, he would probably die like Tai Xuan did.
“Is my road to Immortal Ascension going to cease just like that? I don’t care for it!”
Daoist Xu Xuan was indignant as he hollered softly.
He had painstakingly planned for so many years and done so much. Yet, the outcome was so unexpected. How could he accept it?
He couldn’t figure out why Su Changyu was suddenly so powerful.
He managed to achieve such great progress in 27 years, but even the Son of Destiny could not grow to such a state.
At this moment…
Daoist Xu Xuan’s expression suddenly changed as he seemed to have sensed something.
He vanished from the ground and appeared in a large hall.
The hall was very clean and simple. There was only a jade disc inside.
There were faint rays of black light on the jade disc.
“What’s going on?”
“It’s the aura of the Fiendcelestial.”
Daoist Xu Xuan looked at this jade disc with a look of astonishment.
The jade disc could sense the aura of the Son of Destiny and the World-Destructing Demon.
However, as far as he knew, the Fiendcelestial would revive only when there were enough evil and heretic thoughts in the world.
In other words, it was exactly the method that he knew, and that was to use the essence blood of ten thousand living beings to set up an array formation to revive the Fiendcelestial.
However, the aura of the Fiendcelestial appeared.
“What exactly is going on here? Did Tai Xuan do something at that time, or was it for some other reason?”
Daoist Xu Xuan thought to himself in puzzlement.
After a long time of pondering, Daoist Xu Xuan had his own thoughts.
“If the Fiendcelestial is revived now, we will have to start dealing with the matter from the Fiendcelestial…”
Daoist Xu Xuan immediately returned to the underground pool.
Before that, he would have to let his injuries recover.
In the headquarters of the Heavenly Supervisory.
An elder raised his head to look into the sky with a huge change of expression.
He calculated the heavenly secret, but his expression was getting more and more sullen. “The heavenly secrets are sealed and the great tribulation is about to rise.”
The old voice made everyone’s expression change.
On the other hand, Xiao Muxue’s expression changed too after she received the news.
“Is there any news regarding the whereabouts of Su Changyu and Ye Ping?”
Xiao Muxue frowned and asked.
“No, we haven’t found any news about Ye Ping and Su Changyu.”
“We just received news that Chen Lingrou, whom you asked us to find, has been found.”
A figure at the side answered.
