Eternal God Emperor: Only I Am Emperor One

Chapter 85 The Four Symbols Sacred Body
Bu Qianfan was a soldier, and the martial arts he practiced naturally came from the Ministry of War. He slashed at the figure in front of him who called himself the Hidden Dragon Taoist.

"The Sword of the Garrison".

Despite facing a strike that could threaten even a third-stage Fish-Dragon expert, Di Yi remained unfazed. He used his finger as a sword, condensing a sword aura at his fingertip to meet Bu Qianfan's attack.

This sword energy was as red as fire, with the intention of burning the sky. It was very domineering and actually broke through Bu Qianfan's strike head-on.

Bu Qianfan was greatly alarmed, and his sword strikes became even more ferocious.

"The Blade of Destruction".

Di Yi remained unmoved, forming a sword with two fingers. The sword energy condensed into a miniature Vermilion Bird, which exploded in front of Bu Qianfan, shattering the Blade of Destruction from the front.

After suffering repeated setbacks, Bu Qianfan stopped using his sword and instead unleashed a palm strike, a low-level Ghost-rank martial art from the Ministry of War called "Soldier's Palm."

After mastering the Dual Spirit Treasure Body, Bu Qianfan made up for his physical deficiencies. His physical strength was no weaker than that of a Saint Body of the same realm. A single palm strike from him was comparable to the full-force attack of a third-stage Fish-Dragon expert.

With a smile, the Emperor changed his fingers into a palm and struck out with the same palm. He did not use any martial arts techniques, but only used the pure power of his physical body to fight back, while also drawing on some of the fire attribute source power within his body.

As he clapped his palms together, Bu Qianfan felt an overwhelming force surge through his arms, accompanied by a burning sensation.

He was sent flying backward by the blow, his muscles and bones torn apart, and he was utterly shocked.

"Are you the Vermilion Bird Sacred Body or the Innate Extreme Yang Body?"

Bu Qianfan circulated his internal energy to alleviate the injury to his arm, and he had completely come to believe in the identity of the Taoist priest in front of him.

Such intense and authentic Vermilion Bird True Qi could only be possessed by a disciple of the Four Symbols Sect.

Di Yi's Heart of the Flame Demon was originally a powerful physique no weaker than the Fire-type Sacred Body. Although it no longer exists, the power of the fire attribute has become even more domineering. In addition, he has comprehended the Four Symbols Heaven-Reaching Technique and used the Illuminating Lotus to disguise the fire attribute energy in his body as pure Daoist pure Yang True Qi. Perhaps he cannot deceive a Saint, but it is enough to deceive Bu Qianfan.

The Sage of Evergreen imparted to Ziqian several of the Four Symbols Sect's unique skills, including the Vermilion Bird Sword Technique that Emperor Yi had just demonstrated.

"I am neither the Vermilion Bird Sacred Body nor the Innate Extreme Yang Body, but rather the Innate Four Symbols Sacred Body," Di Yi said solemnly.

Bu Qianfan frowned and asked in confusion, "There are quite a few types of sacred bodies recorded, but why have I never heard of the Four Symbols Sacred Body?"

"The world is vast and full of wonders; how could every sacred body be recorded?" Emperor Yi chuckled.

Bu Qianfan did not delve into the matter. He nodded, his expression less wild and arrogant than before, and said, "Zhang Ruochen said that your swordsmanship is profound and your strength is unparalleled. I didn't believe it at first, but after today's battle, I believe it. In a battle between people of the same realm, I am no match for you."

"But once I have mastered the Three Spiritual Treasures Body, we will fight again."

Di Yi couldn't help but admire Bu Qianfan's martial spirit. If he could overcome Murong Yue's mental flaw, his future achievements would be unimaginable, and it wouldn't be impossible for him to surpass the saints of the Bu Sheng Clan.

"If Lieutenant Bu wants to fight, I am ready to oblige at any time."

Bu Qianfan's expression softened slightly, and he asked, "We are complete strangers. What brings you here?"

With a smile, the emperor slowly opened his palm, and the half of the Chen character token had appeared in his hand without him even noticing.

"This item is destined to be with me."

Bu Qianfan's expression changed instantly. If the person in front of him could take the token without him noticing, he could also easily take his life. Was he really just a Heavenly Realm cultivator?
Suppressing his shock, Bu Qianfan barely managed to remain calm and said, "It's just an antique of little value. If you want it, take it. However, this is the Death Ruins Realm, and the Bu Sheng Clan still has some manpower here." The Death Ruins Realm is the territory of the Ministry of War. Here, the identity of the young master of the Black Market First-Class Hall is really not as useful as the identity of the heir of the Bu Sheng Clan.

"Why are you in such a hurry, Captain Bu? You're not the only one who can see the extraordinary nature of the token. After all, you're not the only one who can reach the Supreme Realm," Di Yi chuckled.

Upon hearing this, Bu Qianfan realized that the other party had obviously also reached the Supreme Realm and could tell that the token was of extraordinary origin.

"You actually broke through the shackles of the Holy Body, just like Emperor Yi, and reached the supreme realm? No wonder you are so powerful."

Bu Qianfan finally understood why someone as proud as Zhang Ruochen would praise Yi Qianlong so highly.

"Since you've recognized the token's extraordinary nature, you know I won't let you take it away easily. Return the token to me, and I can pretend nothing happened."

"Look, you're in such a hurry again." Di Yi shook his head with a smile and asked, "How wide is the range indicated by the token that Captain Bu can confirm?"

Bu Qianfan frowned and pondered for a moment before replying, "Within ten thousand miles."

The emperor nodded, revealing an expression of certainty. He looked intently at the token in his hand and said, "I can narrow this range down to within five hundred li."

"Impossible, absolutely impossible." Bu Qianfan sneered and denied it. Ten thousand miles was already an exaggeration. The range he could be sure of was actually within fifty thousand miles. Even if Yi Qianlong had reached the supreme realm in the Earth Extreme Realm, Profound Extreme Realm, and Yellow Extreme Realm, it was impossible for him to narrow the range down to within five hundred miles.

"Why is it impossible?"

"Of course not. We are all at the Supreme Realm. Why should your Gods' Mark be able to narrow the locked area to within 500 miles?" Bu Qianfan said coldly.

Di Yi shook his head and sighed, "Commander Bu is mistaken. You should know that there are differences among the divine marks. The divine marks I obtained are definitely different from those you obtained. It just so happens that among the divine marks I obtained, there is one that belongs to the original owner of this token."

"In other words, your mark of the gods is from an outsider, while my mark of the gods is from one of my own. This token is naturally closer to me, which is why I said it is destined to be with me."

"Nonsense." Bu Qianfan was naturally unwilling to accept the claim that his divine mark was inferior to the other party's divine mark, but he also felt that Yi Qianlong might not be entirely bragging. The Twelve Yuan Chen were the guardian deities of the Daoist sect, and it was reasonable for them to be closer to the disciples of the Four Symbols Sect.

“I acknowledge your strength. We are all cultivators from the Kunlun Realm. Since we have met, I, Bu Qianfan, am willing to share this opportunity. But you have to tell me the truth: what exactly is the extent of your certainty?”

"Five thousand miles."

Bu Qianfan breathed a sigh of relief. Five thousand miles was only ten times stronger than him, which was barely acceptable.

“Alright, then you can lead the way, and we’ll go together to find the object that this token indicates.”

"Wait a minute." Di Yi stopped him and said with a smile, "Captain Bu hasn't told me the origin of this token yet."

"Isn't your Mark of the Gods one of the token's own? How come you can't see its origin?" Bu Qianfan mocked.

"After so many years, even familiar people will eventually become distant."

Bu Qianfan didn't want to talk to this Taoist anymore. Seven or eight out of ten of his sentences were lies, and he didn't have the straightforwardness of someone in the military.

But the Great Sage would flock to any opportunity related to the gods, and he would not let go of even the slightest chance.

Feeling helpless, he had no choice but to reveal the story of the talented woman from the sacred book and his own speculation.
