Chapter 260: Chapter 135: Terrifying Great Medicine

Because he was a Golden Core cultivator!

And just like that, the two of them left the Imperial City.

At this moment, Su Chen’s expression soured. He stopped dead in his tracks and gazed into the distance, where he was stunned to see a Longevity Fire rapidly approaching.

It was Soul Void Master!

A Core Formation Great Cultivator of the Extreme Realm!

"Mr. Chu, my Zhuge Family has a daughter. She is eighteen years of age and, like you, is at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer. I wonder if we might have the honor of arranging a marriage between you and her?"

"Of course, the women of my Zhuge Family do not marry out—with the sole exception of Your Majesty. We would ask that you change your surname to Zhuge and marry into our Zhuge Family..."

Zhuge Mo stopped, his back to Su Chen, as he spoke slowly.

BOOM!

In the next instant,

the aura of a Core Formation Great Cultivator descended from the distance. He was clad in robes as black as ink, and he let out a sinister cackle, his eyes glinting with a vicious light.

Soul Void Master had also appeared!

And so, a Golden Core cultivator and a True Core Extreme Cultivator—two Giants—had Su Chen trapped, one in front and one behind.

It wasn’t enough for the Zhuge Family to be tied to the Daqi Celestial Dynasty; now, while Su Chen was still in his nascent stages, they intended to forcibly recruit this Nine-Life Celestial Pride into their ranks.

The Five Great Sects were practically at each other’s throats trying to recruit Su Chen, this Nine-Life Celestial Pride.

And here the Zhuge Family was,

resorting to direct force!

"And what if I refuse?"

Su Chen was smiling.

"Heh heh."

"In that case,"

"I will simply leave. A Nine-Life Celestial Pride, venturing out, perishes in the belly of an Extreme Realm Core Formation Great Cultivator... that should be considered a normal occurrence, shouldn’t it?"

A cold mockery flashed through Zhuge Mo’s eyes as he looked down on Su Chen. His gaze seemed to say, ’Potential is just potential; it’s a long way from actual power.’

’So what if you’re a Nine-Life Celestial Pride?’

’You have no choice.’

Nearby,

Soul Void Master was also smiling.

"Worthy of a Nine-Life Celestial Pride—someone that both His Majesty of the Celestial Dynasty and the Giants of the Five Great Sects want to get their hands on!"

"When you reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, you radiated a light of ten thousand zhang, something unprecedented. I wonder what you taste like?"

"Kid, let me give you some advice. You can’t defy the heavens. You might as well obediently accept National Master Zhuge’s offer and marry into the Zhuge Family!"

Soul Void Master seemed to be persuading him, but in reality, he was just fanning the flames, greedily swallowing his saliva as he coveted the taste of Su Chen’s flesh and blood.

In response,

Su Chen glanced toward the Imperial Capital, toward the Book Collection Martial Pavilion he had built. He shook his head. ’It seems I won’t be going back.’

’Regardless of whether Emperor Tianqi had a hand in this or not, I will never go back.’

"And what if I insist on leaving?"

Su Chen clasped his hands behind his back. The Tree Whiskers surged, and his disguise dissolved, revealing his true appearance: a youth in a Muddy World Profound Robe, looking like an immortal, with ten Dragon Patterns adorning his body.

In that instant, his aura soared. Without a hint of hesitation, he began to devour vast amounts of the Daqi Dynasty’s gathered national fortune, stepping into the Foundation Establishment Post Realm.

"Hmm?!"

At this moment,

both Zhuge Mo and Soul Void Master’s eyes widened in horror.

’Foundation Establishment Post Realm?’

’How is that possible!’

’How long has it been since this Nine-Life Celestial Pride reached Foundation Establishment? Less than two years, right? And he’s already gone from the Foundation Establishment Early Stage to the Post Realm?’

’Give him another two years, and wouldn’t he reach Foundation Establishment Perfection?’

’Terrifying!’

’Is this the talent of a Nine-Life Celestial Pride?’

’It’s truly terrifying to the extreme.’

"But so what if you’re at the Foundation Establishment Post Realm?"

"Heh heh."

"You are facing a True Core Late Stage and a Golden Core Late Stage cultivator. With your meager Foundation Establishment cultivation, do you really think you still have a choice?"

Zhuge Mo’s eyes were filled with ridicule.

To this,

Su Chen’s expression was exceptionally serious.

"I do have a choice!"

"So long as I can defile your Cores!"

"Then I will have a choice!"

"I am leaving, and you can’t stop me!"

BOOM!

In that instant, Su Chen made his move.

The Burial Coffin roared out.

"My Zhuge Family has staked the lives of our entire clan to meddle in the Eastern Domain’s conflicts! Half of this Daqi Dynasty should belong to us! So what if we want you, a Nine-Life Celestial Pride?"

"We offer you wealth and glory, and you refuse!"

"Then you can just go and die!"

Zhuge Mo attacked mockingly, utterly dismissing the Burial Coffin. ’It’s just a mere black coffin. Could it possibly possess the power of a Nascent Soul?’

He was a Golden Core cultivator, after all!

With no Nascent Soul cultivators present, he was among the strongest beings in the Eastern Domain.

BOOM!

The next instant,

a terrifying Great Medicine, as if it possessed Spirituality, gushed forth.

BOOM!

Instantly, a black mist roiled and filled the sky, sweeping across the land for thirty li and enveloping Su Chen and the two Core Formation Great Cultivators within it.

As for this,

Su Chen was long prepared.

BANG!

The next instant,

the Tree Whiskers surged.

He transformed into a Heaven-Devouring Demon Whale, tore through the Void, and turned to flee.

At his back,

from within the roiling black mist, the shocked and doubtful cries of Soul Void Master and Zhuge Mo echoed.

"You’re not human?"

"No, that’s not right!"

"The Heaven-Devouring Demon Whale... such a legendary creature is favored by the Celestial Dao! They walk the world by heaven’s decree, born to plunder Small Human Worlds! They are not demons, so it should be impossible for them to take human form..."

"Just what the hell are you!"

But soon,

they had no time to worry about such things.

"Ah!"

"My Golden Core!"

Zhuge Mo’s expression changed drastically. Only now did he realize how strange the black mist was. He frantically tried to escape, but it was already too late.

Soul Void Master’s fate was even worse. He was so shocked and enraged he couldn’t even speak.

His True Core had been directly eroded into an illusory shadow. A dignified True Core Giant was suddenly reduced to the level of a Void Core, his power diminished by more than tenfold...

"Aargh!"

"I’ll kill you!"

Soul Void Master roared in fury.

BOOM!

In that instant, his Outer Body Incarnations emerged from all directions. Among them were Dharma Bodies at Foundation Establishment Perfection and even the False Core realm.

He hadn’t found the whereabouts of the Relic Bones and didn’t dare enter the Imperial City, so he had decided to capture the Eastern Domain’s most prominent Foundation Establishment prodigy, the Nine-Life Celestial Pride, to atone for his failures before Extreme Realm Heaven.

He never expected

to end up in such a state.

A Void Core!

He had actually been reduced to the weakest level of a Core Formation Great Cultivator!

In response to this,

the Heaven-Devouring Demon Whale that Su Chen had transformed into merely exhaled a breath of turbid Qi and fled.

Within that single breath of turbid Qi,

thousands, no, tens of thousands of swords flashed. In an instant, even the False Core Incarnations were shattered to pieces, ground to dust by Su Chen.

And this was merely from a single, casually exhaled breath of turbid Qi from Su Chen.

HISS!

"How is this possible?"

"He’s only at the Foundation Establishment Post Realm, yet he can kill a False Core cultivator as easily as drinking water?!"

"How is this guy growing so fast?!"

Soul Void Master was dumbfounded, a tingling sensation crawling up his scalp.

It wasn’t just his combat strength! It was his growth rate!

Perhaps,

the next time they met, this Nine-Life Celestial Pride would have already achieved the Golden Core Realm and would be standing before him.

"Don’t you run!"

Soul Void Master roared. No longer caring about exposing himself, he transformed into a streak of demonic light and plunged into the healing tear in the Void, giving chase.

No matter what,

he had to crush this Nine-Life Celestial Pride as soon as possible!

He had a feeling that the next time they met, he would be the one to die.

Looking back a thousand years in the Eastern Domain—no, even ten thousand years ago, during that terrifying era of conflict between Extreme Realm Heaven and the Great Xuan Celestial Dynasty—he had never heard of such a monstrous Foundation Establishment prodigy.
