Heaven rewards diligence, but there are always fairies plotting against me.

In the days that followed, Chu Chang thoroughly refined all his cultivation techniques and vocabulary.

With his absolute evasive maneuvering with the sliding tackle, the unpredictable sneak attack of the sword falling from the sky, and the terrifying defense of his magical body, he is now a master of offense, defense, and escape, with virtually no weaknesses.

There is no sun or moon in the cave.

Before we knew it, half a month had passed quietly.

On this day, outside the once quiet cave, the long-sealed barrier suddenly rippled violently.

Chu Chang, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them. With a sway, he instantly suppressed all his aura and returned to the dried-up "Myriad Spirits Blood Marrow Pool".

He once again disguised himself as that expressionless, demonic puppet covered in runes, and even his breathing and heartbeat dropped to freezing point in an instant.

Step. Step. Step.

Familiar footsteps echoed once again in the passageway, carrying a hint of impatience and anticipation.

"The Yuan Dynasty Inspector has finally left, wasting two months of my time."

Lin Wuwen's voice came from the cave entrance, and then the figure dressed in an elegant robe but with extremely sinister eyes slowly walked into the underground palace.

"Chu Chang, two months have passed. Let me see if my Blood Sun Demon Puppet has been successfully crafted!"

With a greedy and excited smile on his lips, Lin Wuwen strode to the edge of the dried-up medicinal pool. When his gaze fell on Chu Chang, who was motionless at the bottom of the pool, his pupils suddenly contracted.

At this moment, Chu Chang was enveloped in a faint bronze light. Although the poisonous water was gone, the oppressive feeling emanating from his body was ten times more terrifying than any demonic puppet Lin Wuwen had ever seen before!

"Hahahaha! Excellent! What a magnificent demonic body at the Transcendent Realm level!"

Lin Wuwen had no doubts about the dried-up medicinal pool, nor did he notice anything unusual.

He laughed excitedly, and couldn't wait to stretch out his right hand, condense a drop of blood essence to control the corpse seal, and press it directly onto Chu Chang's brow!

"From this day forward, you will be the most powerful killing weapon in my hands, Lin Wuwen!"

As he watched the finger gradually approach his brow, Chu Chang, at the bottom of the pool, slowly curled his lips into a cold, knife-like arc, out of Lin Wuwen's sight.

The roles of hunter and prey are completely reversed at this moment.

In the dimly lit underground palace, the eerie green light of the eternal lamp flickered gently, illuminating Lin Wuwen's face, which was contorted with excitement, making it appear particularly ferocious.

The Corpse Control Seal at his fingertip, imbued with the essence of his entire body, emitted a bewitching red light and was less than half an inch away from Chu Chang's brow.

Lin Wuwen could already imagine the glorious scene of him running rampant in the Great Yuan Dynasty after he took control of this perfect body, even overthrowing the Supreme Elder of the Divine Sword Sect and seizing power.

"Give it to me, and submit!" Lin Wuwen grinned maliciously, pressing his finger forcefully against Chu Chang's forehead.

However, just as his fingertips were about to touch Chu Chang's skin at a fraction of a second...

Those eyes, which were originally tightly closed and filled with a bluish-gray color, suddenly opened wide without warning!

Those were not the dead eyes of a puppet, but a pair of double pupils filled with blazing golden light, as dazzling and blinding as the raging sun in the sky!

boom!!!

An indescribable, terrifying aura of blood erupted like a volcano that had been dormant for millennia.

The terrifying shockwave instantly shattered the surrounding dried-up stone pools into dust.

"not good!"

As a mid-stage Purple Mansion Realm expert, Lin Wuwen's fighting instincts made his hair stand on end and his soul almost leave his body.

He instinctively wanted to back away, but at such close range, facing a peerless prodigy whose physical body had reached the Tongyou Realm and whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Zifu Realm, his reaction was too slow!

"Lin Wuwen, thank you for your medicinal pool, and thank you for delivering your dog's life to my doorstep!"

With a roar, Chu Chang's right fist, wrapped in faint golden Sanskrit characters and surging chaotic true essence, transformed into a golden stream of light that tore through the void, and slammed into Lin Wuwen's chest with lightning speed!

The Vajra Invincible Skill has reached its peak, granting the user a body that transcends the netherworld. The power of this punch is more than ten million jun!

Bang!

A dull, muffled sound of flesh colliding echoed throughout the underground palace.

The protective true essence on Lin Wuwen's chest shattered as easily as paper the moment it came into contact with Chu Chang's fist.

Immediately afterwards, his chest caved in deeply at a visible speed, and the sound of bones shattering rang out like a barrage of firecrackers.

"puff!"

Lin Wuwen spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of his internal organs, and his whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the black steel stone wall at the end of the underground palace, causing the entire stone wall to collapse with a roar, burying him under the rubble.

Splash!

The rubble was pushed aside by the violent demonic energy, and Lin Wuwen, with disheveled hair, rushed out of the ruins.

He clutched his collapsed chest tightly, his face ashen, his eyes filled with horror, disbelief, and boundless rage.

"You...you're alright?! You weren't refined???"

Lin Wuwen roared hysterically.

He couldn't accept this reality.

He had spent countless hours guarding the place for two whole months, even using the sect's most potent poison, but instead of turning the little beast into a puppet, he had raised a peerless killing god!

"I always like to eliminate problems completely." Chu Chang walked step by step from the ruins, his body radiating golden light, like a true god patrolling the heavens. "Lin Wuwen, today is your death day."

"Arrogant! I am the Sect Master of the Divine Sword Sect, how could I be defeated by a mere brat like you!"

Lin Wuwen laughed in anger. Although he was seriously injured, his cultivation foundation as a mid-stage Purple Mansion Realm cultivator was still intact.

He forcefully circulated his cultivation technique, spitting out a mouthful of blood essence, which transformed into a complex, blood-red array in front of him.

"Nine Nether Blood Fiend, heed my command, emerge!"

With Lin Wuwen's roar, the four specially made white bone corpse bags hanging from his waist burst open simultaneously.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!

Four ferocious roars, unlike those of humans, rang out simultaneously. Four terrifying giant corpses, each over ten feet tall, covered in black scales, and with fingernails like black iron divine weapons, stepped out from the blood mist.

Each of these four demonic puppets exudes a terrifying aura comparable to the early stage of the Purple Mansion Realm! This is Lin Wuwen's true trump card, his greatest reliance for dominating the surrounding area: the "Four Symbols Blood Fiend Formation"!

"Kill him! Tear him to pieces!" Lin Wuwen pointed at Chu Chang with a ferocious expression.

The four demonic puppets' empty eyes blazed with crimson light. They left four black afterimages in the void, accompanied by a nauseating storm of blood, and ferociously pounced on Chu Chang from four completely different blind spots.

Faced with such an attack that would make an ordinary mid-stage Purple Mansion cultivator flustered, Chu Chang simply smiled coldly.

"How dare a grain of rice compete with the blazing sun for light?"

Chu Chang neither dodged nor evaded, nor did he even use any magical artifacts. He stepped forward and stomped his right foot hard on the ground.

boom!

The floor of the underground palace collapsed instantly. Chu Chang faced the black-scaled demonic puppet at the front, which was grabbing at his throat, clenched his fist, and threw a punch.

[Body of a Magical Artifact], withstand the physical attack!

clang!

The demonic puppet's claws, as hard as a magical artifact, gripped Chu Chang's arm, but only produced a burst of sparks, failing to even scratch Chu Chang's skin. Conversely, Chu Chang's punch, carrying the force of a creation of heaven and earth, slammed heavily onto the demonic puppet's head.

Snap!

The demonic puppet's head, which was strong enough to withstand the bombardment of a high-grade magic weapon, exploded instantly like a rotten watermelon under Chu Chang's fist, with black blood and bone fragments flying everywhere.

One punch, and he instantly killed a demonic puppet in the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm!

"This is impossible! How could your physical body be this strong?!" Lin Wuwen, standing behind, was terrified. This wasn't a human body; it was clearly a top-grade defensive magic weapon in human form!

Chu Chang ignored Lin Wuwen's shock. The instant he shattered one demonic puppet with a single punch, attacks from three other demonic puppets behind him landed on his back and shoulders.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

A dull thud resounded, but Chu Chang only swayed slightly. The [Magic Treasure Body] attribute within his body was activated passively, and its terrifying 30% spell damage reduction and top-grade magic treasure-level hardness instantly dissipated most of the force accumulated by the three demonic puppets.

"Get out of here!"

Chu Chang twisted his waist, and chaotic true essence surged out from his dantian like a raging tide, sweeping out along his arms.

Snapped!Snapped!

Two resounding slaps echoed as Chu Chang's palms, like giant millstones of divine iron, shattered the chest cavities of the two demonic puppets on his left, sending severed limbs flying wildly through the air.

The last remaining demonic puppet's eyes flashed with instinctive fear as it tried to retreat, but Chu Chang had already appeared before it like a shadow, his right hand grabbing its neck as easily as taking something from a bag, and gently twisting it.

Click.

The last demonic puppet collapsed limply to the ground, completely lifeless.

From the moment Lin Wuwen summoned four Purple Mansion stage demonic puppets to the moment Chu Chang destroyed them all, only ten breaths had passed.

Inside the underground palace, deathly silence returned, broken only by Lin Wuwen's heavy breathing and the chattering of his teeth.

"You... what kind of monster are you???"

Lin Wuwen's voice finally revealed an undisguised fear.

The four demonic puppets, to which he had poured half his life's effort, couldn't even last three rounds against Chu Chang, and were torn to pieces as if they were made of paper.

At this moment, Chu Chang was spotless, not even the hem of his clothes was disheveled, and he was looking at him with the eyes of someone looking at a dead man.

"Lin Wuwen, do you have any last words?" Chu Chang asked coldly, each step he took feeling like he was stepping on Lin Wuwen's heart.

"I...I'll fight you to the death!"

Lin Wuwen knew there was no turning back now. He gritted his teeth, his eyes bloodshot, and summoned his natal flying sword.

It was a blood-red demonic sword, the "Blood-Drinking Sword," with countless vengeful faces faintly visible on its blade. This sword was an evil weapon passed down through generations of the Divine Sword Sect, its power approaching that of a top-grade magic weapon.

"The Blood God cleaves the heavens, annihilating all in all directions!"

Lin Wuwen frantically poured all his life potential and true essence into the Blood-Drinking Sword. The demonic sword swelled in the wind, transforming into a terrifying blood-red giant sword ten zhang long. The vengeful spirits on the sword emitted piercing screams, transforming into a blood-red sword beam capable of cleaving mountains, carrying an aura of annihilation, and fiercely slashed down towards Chu Chang!

This sword strike was the culmination of Lin Wuwen's lifelong cultivation; it was his desperate attack!

Faced with this earth-shattering sword strike, Chu Chang's face remained completely expressionless.

"Hide? Why should I hide?"

Chu Chang's chaotic essence surged to a boiling point. He let out a long roar, and instead of retreating, he advanced, directly meeting the ten-zhang-long crimson sword light with a powerful punch.

The body of the Netherworld Realm, empowered by the [Invincible Vajra Technique] and the [Body of a Magic Treasure], revealed its most ferocious side at this moment.

Rumble!

The golden iron fist and the scarlet demonic sword collided fiercely in mid-air.

A terrifying energy storm swept wildly in all directions from the point of collision, shearing off a large section of the solid underground cavern. Countless rocks were pulverized into dust by the violent aftershocks before they even hit the ground.

Click.

A crisp cracking sound rang out, particularly jarring amidst the roar.

The sinister smile on Lin Wuwen's face froze completely in that instant. Because he saw that his indestructible natal demonic sword had developed countless cracks at the point where it made contact with Chu Chang's fist.

Then.

Bang!

The entire Blood-Drinking Sword exploded in mid-air, turning into countless red fragments.
