Chapter 156 The Origin of the Underworld Emperor and the Invincible Body

In the city of Yujing.

Elder Lin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his sect leader arrive.

Fortunately, because of the Earth Mother Palace's powerful figure manipulating the earth's veins, he had informed the sect of this news in advance.

In retrospect, by sheer chance, their sect leader ended up in this battle today.

When Master Taixu appeared, Elder Lin immediately felt more confident, straightened his back, and showed his usual composure on his face.

He relaxed, leaning back in his chair, his right hand playing with the voluptuous woman's round, firm buttocks, his fingers feeling the softness between his fingers.

The alluring woman rolled her eyes, gave a coquettish sigh, then looked up at the Supreme True Man in the sky and said in a sweet voice:

"Brother, tell me about your sect leader."

"Hehe, if you want to hear it, I can tell you all night long..."

……

In the palace.

The Blood Refining Ancestor sensed those familiar auras suddenly vanish, and sneered inwardly.

"idiot!"

"Do you really think a few of us can interfere with the birth of the Underworld Emperor?"

"Without reaching the twelfth realm, one has no right to interfere at all."

"You actually believed Zhou Jueyin's lies!"

The Blood Refining Ancestor sneered inwardly, mocking them for being blinded by greed and dying because of their own greed.

He is very pragmatic.

Knowing full well that the struggle for the throne was extremely dangerous, he simply chose not to get involved and instead sneaked into the palace.

Emperor Yuanchu was not in the palace.

The crown prince once again purged the court of corrupt officials.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
He wants to reclaim the sacred artifact that was stolen by the Primordial Emperor!
Twenty years ago, Emperor Yuan Chu destroyed the headquarters of their Blood Sea lineage and stole their sacred artifacts.

Although they had been recuperating for twenty years, their bloodline had recovered most of its vitality.

There's just one thing that outsiders don't know.

Since the sacred object was lost, they have lost the means to contact the Blood Lord.

Apart from the last time when the Blood Lord took the initiative to issue a decree, no one in their Blood Sea lineage could proactively contact the Blood Lord.

This was a devastating blow to the Blood Sea lineage.

After cultivating the God Worship Technique to the ninth level, the strongest method is the "Divine Descent Technique".

Invoking the gods to descend and temporarily transform into divine avatars, gaining control over a portion of the Great Dao's authority—this is the trump card of cultivators who practice the God-worshiping method.

The awkward thing is that, as members of the Blood Sea lineage, they cannot contact the Blood Lord, and therefore cannot use the Divine Descent Technique.

If this news were to get out, the Blood Sea Clan would become a hot commodity in the eyes of the other five clans, and everyone would want to take a bite.

This time, the Blood Refining Ancestor infiltrated the palace to reclaim the sacred artifact.

According to the sect leader's calculations, if the sacred artifact is retrieved and used as a sacrifice, it will surely be possible to reconnect with the Blood Lord.

Holding a blood-red compass, he searched among the palace complex.

hum-

hum-

hum-

"Ok?"

"what happened?"

Seeing the unusual movement on the crimson compass, the Blood Refining Ancestor frowned deeply, forming a deep "川" shape.

The compass needle spun wildly, as if something was interfering with the blood-red compass.

"Based on the Blood God Disc's sensing, the sacred object should be nearby."

"But why..."

The Blood Refining Ancestor pondered deeply, puzzled.

According to the Blood God Disc's perception, the sacred artifact is within the imperial palace, but its exact location remains elusive; it seems...

Was it refined by someone?
"how is this possible?"

"Even the sect leaders of past generations have been unable to refine sacred artifacts. How could the Great Qian royal family possibly possess such means?" The Blood Refining Ancestor chuckled self-deprecatingly before changing the subject.

"Could it be that Emperor Yuanchu gave it to some royal ancestor to extend their lifespan?"

Blood Refining Ancestor's eyes flickered, his expression a mixture of surprise and uncertainty.

Just now.

A group of Yinglong Guards passed by and noticed that the Blood Refining Ancestor's aura was somewhat abnormal.

Which palace are you from?

Upon seeing Yinglongwei appear, Blood Refining Ancestor spat out two words viciously.

"unlucky!"

As soon as he finished speaking, blood flashed.

……

Above Yujing City.

The three experts at the twelfth realm stood facing each other, their movements seemingly suspended in mid-air.

A terrifying pressure permeated the void.

It seems even birds dare not enter this restricted area.

The atmosphere in the air was so solidified that it was almost as if you could wring water out of it.

The air in the void trembled and groaned incessantly, as if it could not withstand the terrifying aura of the three people.

The sudden appearance of Taixu Zhenjun caught Yuanchu Emperor and Shenxiao Zhenjun off guard, and he seized the Yin Emperor.

However, his own aura was also locked by the Primordial Emperor and the Divine Firmament True Lord.

It's almost impossible to gracefully retreat.

"Our Qiankun Sect has always valued harmony. I am unwilling to fight with you two and cause widespread suffering."

"If you two are willing to withdraw now and turn hostility into friendship..."

Before Taixu Zhenjun could finish speaking, Shenxiao Zhenjun sneered, his body crackling with lightning, emitting a piercing sound.

"hehe--"

"Taixu, you're just being hypocritical. Your pretense won't work on me!"

"If you want to take away the Emperor of the Underworld, ask the divine thunder in my hand first!"

The Emperor of the Underworld falling into the hands of the True Lord of the Void is something the True Lord of the Divine Firmament would absolutely not allow.

Even if it means a fight that results in mutual destruction, he has no fear.

The Qiankun Sect already has a guardian deity, and its strength has increased by leaps and bounds in the past ten thousand years, and it has already subtly surpassed the other nine Dao Courts.

If the Qiankun Sect were to gain another guardian deity, wouldn't the world be under their control?

The royal family, other Daoist courts, and even the Yin Emperor and Shenxiao Zhenjun could swallow this insult.

The Qiankun Sect is the only exception!
A clang!
The Tai'a sword resonated with a high-pitched sound, radiating a strong fighting spirit.

Emperor Yuanchu did not utter a word, but True Lord Taixu already understood Emperor Yuanchu's thoughts.

Sure enough!

Taixu Zhenjun closed his eyes slightly and sighed inwardly.

Their Qiankun Sect has already obtained a guardian deity, and their interference in the affairs of the Underworld Emperor has already incurred the wrath of the masses.

If the leaders of the other major Daoist courts were to arrive, they would most likely turn their attention to him.

but--

A beam of light burst forth from the eyes of the True Lord Taixu, as if it could tear the sky apart.

He is the number one person in the world today!
If you want him to leave, let's see how capable you are.

"Since you two are so stubborn, then I will not be polite!"

As soon as he finished speaking, True Monarch Taixu took a step forward, and a terrifying aura erupted from his body, soaring straight into the sky.

Like a volcanic eruption, it was violent and sudden.

Even the heavens trembled.

Emperor Yuanchu and Shenxiao Zhenjun exchanged a glance and unanimously chose to join forces.

Don't be fooled by the harsh words Shenxiao Zhenjun just uttered; they were extremely impolite.

However, he had a very deep understanding of the power of the True Lord Taixu.

Why is he called the number one lightning cultivator in the world, instead of the number one Dao cultivator?
It's precisely because of the powerful figure, True Lord Taixu, standing in his way.

"The Great Void Myriad Phenomena Bell!"

A bang!
A deep, resounding bell suddenly rang out.

It was like a mountain collapsing, or a river flowing backward. The sound waves surged mightily, leaving countless silver crystals scattered in their wake.

Each silver crystal is a tiny, illusory world.

The most powerful feature of the Great Void Myriad Phenomena Bell is its ability to sever battlefields.

With a single chime of a bell, countless small worlds can be conjured up, trapping the opponent within them.

Of course, True Lord Taixu was not naive enough to think that the small world conjured by the Taixu Myriad Phenomena Bell could trap them.

However, if I can delay for a moment, allowing myself to calmly use my secret technique and escape back to the ancestral temple of the Qiankun Sect, then I can consider my mission accomplished.

The ancestral temple of the Qiankun Sect is protected by a mountain-protecting formation. Even if all nine Daoist temples gather, what does it matter?

As the bell tolled, Emperor Yuanchu and Shenxiao Zhenjun were instantly pulled into a virtual world.

Emperor Yuanchu felt the scene before him change, and countless immortal mountains and gods appeared before him.

It resembles a scene from a fairyland; those who don't know the story might think they've become immortals.

"Humph--"

"Break it for me!"

Emperor Yuanchu held the Tai'a sword and slashed it towards the sky.

Sword shatters the heavens!

Its sharp edge was so great that it directly pierced another huge hole in the sky above the small world.

The creatures in the small world, seeing a huge hole in the sky, cried out and wailed as if they were real living beings.

These cries and wails, though reaching the ears of Emperor Yuanchu, did not shake his resolve in the slightest.

With one step, he shattered this illusory little world.

However, as soon as Emperor Yuanchu left, he was immediately drawn into a second, illusory little world.

Emperor Yuanchu frowned, his aura becoming chilling.

The silver light on the Tai'a sword grew even stronger as it slashed across the sky.

This sword strike was far more powerful than the previous one.

The sword energy was so sharp that it tore through the void.

Wherever it passed, the illusory little worlds, like bubbles under the sunlight, shattered one after another.

With a single sword strike, he shattered the ten small worlds.

However, the illusory miniature world conjured by the Great Void Myriad Phenomena Bell seemed endless, continuously pulling the Primordial Emperor into it.

On the other hand, Shenxiao Zhenjun's experience was similar.

He was surrounded by lightning, his whole body bathed in lightning magma, as if an ancient thunder god had been resurrected.

Every move he made carried the power to destroy everything.

……

In the void.

Taixu Zhenjun moved his ten fingers in quick succession, using a secret technique to sense the ancestral temple of the Qiankun Sect.

Just then, the Great Void Bell above his head suddenly let out a mournful cry.

Taixu Zhenjun looked up and his eyes showed shock.

A beam of blood-red light suddenly erupted from within the Great Void Myriad Phenomena Bell.

Immediately afterwards, the Great Void Myriad Phenomena Bell seemed to have suffered a severe blow, and its spiritual light dimmed.

Countless small worlds that filled the void were destroyed one after another, like a dream.

Seeing this, Taixu Zhenjun's face turned terribly ugly.

He was just a little while away from sensing the ancestral temple of the Qiankun Sect.

What a failure!

What alarmed him even more was that the Great Void Myriad Phenomena Bell was actually broken by the Primordial Emperor.

Based on previous intelligence, Shenxiao Zhenjun's strength is clearly superior to that of Yuanchu Emperor.

Although Emperor Yuanchu was at the same level as them, he was also at the twelfth realm of cultivation.

However, the sect leaders of these ten major Dao Courts, with their cultivation at the twelfth realm, achieved their status through genuine self-cultivation.

Unlike the Yuan Chu Emperor, whose national fortune deepened, he was propelled to the twelfth realm by the national fortune of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Therefore, although Emperor Yuanchu was nominally at the twelfth realm, he was never taken seriously by these Daoist sect leaders.

At best, the Primordial Emperor was only a pseudo-Twelfth Realm cultivator.

Only after today's battle did True Lord Taixu realize how wrong he had been.

Emperor Yuanchu was no ordinary emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty.

Perhaps his cultivation level of twelve realms in his lifetime was pushed up by the national fortune, but his strength was not weak at all, and was probably even above that of Shenxiao Zhenjun.

As countless small worlds were destroyed, Shenxiao Zhenjun, surrounded by lightning, emerged from the void.

The look in his eyes as he gazed at Emperor Yuanchu was quite complex, with a hint of deep surprise and doubt.

Emperor Yuanchu, the Son of Heaven of the Great Qian Dynasty, is actually no less powerful than me!
"Your Majesty, what brilliant methods you have!"

Taixu Zhenjun sighed.

By this time, he had missed his chance to escape back to his ancestral home and could only sigh helplessly.

Emperor Yuanchu stood with his sword on his back, his expression solemn, and spoke calmly.

“Fellow Daoist Taixu, you have seen the situation clearly now.”

"Are you really planning to fight the two of us, resulting in mutual destruction and benefiting others?"

Sensing the unspoken meaning in Emperor Yuanchu's words, True Lord Taixu raised an eyebrow and then asked.

"So, Your Majesty, what do you mean?"

“We are cultivating guardian deities, and the Underworld Emperor is just one of them.”

"To achieve great success, one also needs an invincible body."

An invincible body!

Upon uttering these four words, Taixu Zhenjun remained indifferent.

After ten thousand years, it's not surprising that other forces were able to figure out the key to the Taixu Sect's cultivation of guardian deities.

Seeing that Taixu Zhenjun did not react, Yuanchu Emperor continued:

"Let's put aside the question of who will become the emperor for now."

"First, cultivate an invincible body, then merge him with the Yin Emperor to become a guardian deity."

"As for who the other party is willing to follow, that depends on the methods employed by each party."

Upon hearing this, both Taixu Zhenjun and Shenxiao Zhenjun's expressions changed.

It seems they are considering the feasibility of the Yuan Chu Emperor's proposal!
Shenxiao Zhenjun glanced at Taixu Zhenjun, then at Yuanchu Emperor, and after careful consideration, he realized that Yuanchu Emperor's suggestion was very advantageous to him.

In the current situation, he has no advantage in terms of strength.

In terms of having the first move, it's in the hands of True Lord Taixu.

He was at a disadvantage on both sides, and setting aside the dispute gave him room to maneuver.

He cultivated an invincible physique, believing himself to be second to none.

What is an invincible body?

An invincible body is not a talent, but a state of being.

In the path of martial arts, the most domineering path is the path of invincibility.

A martial artist who walks the path of invincibility has never been defeated in his life.

He honed his physical body to perfection, ensuring it aligned perfectly with his martial arts heritage, thus forging an invincible physique.

A martial artist who walks the path of invincibility is virtually unbeatable among those of the same level.

After cultivating an invincible body, one's martial arts become perfectly natural, without a single flaw.

To defeat an invincible body, one must rely on brute force; there are no shortcuts.

Although the Shenxiao Sect is one of the Ten Great Daoist Courts, it is not without martial arts traditions.

Just like the Taixu Sect, the Shenxiao Sect has also been preparing its martial arts inheritance in recent years, in preparation for any eventuality.

Most importantly, Lei Xiu's combat strength is unparalleled.

When it comes to cultivating an invincible physique, one naturally has an advantage.

Only sword cultivators whose hearts are set on the sword can rival Lei Xiu.

However, the Sword Pavilion had just gone through internal strife, with even the Holy Maiden defecting, leaving the sect in complete chaos.

The fact that their biggest rival had crippled himself was incredibly good news for the Shenxiao Sect.

By all accounts, victory seems assured!
"Tai Xu, you hold the reins of all Daoist cultivation in the world."

"What do you think?"

Shenxiao Zhenjun did not immediately express his opinion, but instead changed the subject and praised Taixu Zhenren highly.
