Chapter 847: The Indestructible Body Refining

The Shadow Demon Dao Disciple humbly prostrated himself before the Nether Heaven Emperor's Son.

It was not just his tone; he had even swapped his noble and majestic black Dao robe for a tattered but clean hemp garment common among mortal servants, his hands now calloused, his face bearing the dark-red hue of years spent working under the sun, his aura devoid of any Dao Disciple's coldness or sharp edges.

From the outside, whoever came here would instinctively assume this was a capable servant from some mortal tavern.

Such a servant, humble yet respectful, coupled with a worshipful and eager plea for guidance from a noble, would provoke no one into feeling their dignity was challenged and thus fly into a rage.

'The Shadow Demon Abyss, specializing in assassination and stealth... indeed, it is true.'

Jiang Ding also secretly praised in his heart.

"Ah Kai Dang..."

The Nether Heaven Emperor's Son still wore an expression of confusion, as if understanding nothing, seemingly still unable to comprehend.

This display brought a sense of relief to the heart.

"Supreme Emperor's Son, please instruct."

The Shadow Demon Dao Disciple prostrated himself with deep respect once more, and together with the Shadow Demon Sword Puppet behind him, vanished into the void; an invisible shadow world domain spread outward, instantly making a hundred li around as cold as a prison.

"Hmph!"

"Lowly human slave, you seek death!"

The confusion on the Nether Heaven Emperor's Son's face vanished; he spoke in the same Ancient Immortal Tongue, his voice icy.

"Roar!"

He no longer pretended; he roared, shaking the sky and causing a rustling sound.

Originally, he appeared as a half-human, half-beast with horns on his head, a rugged and martial face, clad in black scales, even exuding an air of elegance and nobility, indicating an extraordinary origin.

But now, with the roar, the Nether Heaven Emperor's Son's body swelled like a balloon, instantly transforming into a hundred-zhang-tall black giant, the horn on his forehead piercing the sky like a sharp sword, his mouth filled with rows of sharp teeth dripping black slime, and furnace-like blood qi power radiating outward.

Around this black-armored giant, within a ten-zhang radius, floated a black chaotic space, emitting a powerful threatening aura.

"Human slave, die!"

The Nether Heaven Emperor's Son roared, cruel and tyrannical, unleashing an aura like a prehistoric wild beast.

His eyes were blood-red, possessing powerful beast instincts; with just a glance, he shattered dozens of kilometers of space, the ten-zhang space roaring and turning, gathering immense power into his fist, and punching toward a certain empty spot.

Boom!

A vast expanse of space shattered!

Within it, the Shadow Demon Dao Disciple and a black puppet revealed their forms; the puppet's sword struck straight against the Nether Heaven Emperor's Son's fist, sparks flying, and a grating sound tearing through space.

Fear appeared in the Shadow Demon Dao Disciple's eyes; he could not understand how the opponent had spotted him with a single glance.

As a terrifying spatial force struck, his body could not withstand it; he let out a wretched cry and collapsed into a sky-filling blood mist, turning to dust along with the puppet.

"Hahaha!"

"I wondered what the fuss was about; turns out you are so fragile!"

The Nether Heaven Emperor's Son threw his head back and laughed wildly.

Relieved, he projected a domineering pressure everywhere, swept his cold gaze over the nine Dao Disciples, and said coldly: "Where are you human slaves from? If you submit now and present the location of your realm, this Emperor's Son can promise to make you my servants."

In his eyes, the role of "human" in his worldview was simply this fragile; surviving one punch was already extremely strong, and no accident could possibly occur.

The Nether Heaven Emperor's Son's cold and majestic gaze fixed upon the nine people before him, wanting to see how they would react.

Stubborn ones would be crushed.

Humble ones would be subdued.

This was the experience of past generations; the human slave race was so lowly, burdened with deep servility, requiring little effort.

When he looked over, the Nether Heaven Emperor's Son froze.

The nine human slaves stared at him with expressions of confusion, surprise, longing, and fanaticism; their gazes were extremely complex, lacking the fear or tragedy one might expect, as if...

They were looking at a treasure.

"You ignorant human slaves,"

The Nether Heaven Emperor's Son felt uncomfortable; losing patience, he said coldly: "I will tear out your divine souls and place them on the sacrifice altar; by then, whatever secrets you have will be revealed..."

Clang!

A sword sound rang out.

But it was not yang, hot, or blazing; instead, it was cold and sinister, emerging once more from the void and silently piercing into the back of the hundred-zhang giant's head.

The ten-zhang chaotic black space blocked some of it, yet a black sword blade still pierced deep within, unleashing a terrifying Eternal Abyss Poison that churned the brain matter inside.

"Ah!"

The Nether Heaven Emperor's Son let out a piercing scream; his majesty and coldness were gone.

Bang!

Before anything else could happen, his head exploded into a ball of blood mist.

Within the blood mist, the Shadow Demon Dao Disciple revealed his form, the black puppet following behind him; he paused for a moment: "So weak?"

"Human slave!"

"You seek death!"

Beneath the exploded head, the Nether Heaven Emperor's Son's massive body was not dead; a voice of furious rage came forth. The flesh on his neck writhed, restoring itself in an instant, a sight that chilled the soul.

Immortal and indestructible!

Not the usual boasting of many body-refining cultivators, but truly indestructible even under the Shadow Demon Dao Disciple's attack and the realm's supreme poison, the Eternal Abyss Poison!

This body-refining capability was terrifyingly boundless.

"Die!"

"This Emperor's Son will surely slaughter your entire race; your crimes are unforgivable!"

The Nether Heaven Emperor's Son was furiously enraged.

He summoned a black halberd from the void; the ten-zhang chaotic space around him roared and moved, unleashing immense power to shatter the Shadow Demon Dao Disciple once more.

Streaks of shadow sword Qi came killing from the outside, falling into the ten-zhang chaotic space, and were swallowed whole without leaving a trace—offense and defense as one.

The two fought fiercely in the void.

Vast swathes of space shattered layer upon layer.

Shadow Demon Dao Zi could not match his foe head-on, but his escape art was peerless; from time to time he would seize an opening, conceal himself, and strike suddenly, able to sever the Underworld Heaven Emperor Zi's neck or an arm.

If it were a human cultivator instead, ten of them would already be dead.

But the Underworld Heaven Emperor Zi was simply unharmed, ferociously charging through the cold, pitch-black sword Qi and chasing the Shadow Demon Dao Zi all over the place, scattering one shadow body after another, yet unable to slay him.

The two fought fiercely, evenly matched.

On the other side.

"He has the combat power of a Dao Zi."

Tianji Dao Zi divined for a moment and said: "His attacks and escape arts are nothing special—below a Dao Zi's level, at least weaker than the Shadow Demon Dao Zi—but his body cultivation is terrifying, practically indestructible. Even having his skull and heart smashed seems to have no effect on him. This exceeds our imagination."

"Our body cultivation is far inferior to theirs."

The surrounding Dao Zi fell into thought.

"That ten-zhang space is quite remarkable; it should be similar to the shadow of our domain world. This is at least a Void Refinement-level faction."

Antu Zi added.

"Human slaves—perhaps there are also human cultivators in their realm…"

The many Dao Zi each put in their word, and soon pieced together all kinds of information.

"Is his body cultivation truly indestructible? If so, that's really too troublesome…"

In the end, everyone looked toward the blue-clothed youth not far away.

"This is not a big problem."

Jiang Ding thought for a moment and said: "His divine soul is the breakthrough point. I believe he can be slain."

"I wonder if you've noticed—the Shadow Demon Dao Zi's Dao Intent can wound him; it's just that he recovers, and slowly at that, far from the instant restoration of his flesh. You must understand, the Shadow Demon is only at the peak of Foundation Establishment in his Dao Intent."

"Right, I made a similar observation."

Tianji Dao Zi acknowledged this point.

Gradually, the surrounding Dao Zi's breathing quickened, and a gleam lit their eyes little by little.

If it truly were a Sovereign-level faction, one possessing existences above Void Refinement—

Its Emperor Zi and Dao Zi really shouldn't be like this.

Perhaps there really are those above Void Refinement, but it is already worth risking a fight. After all, judging by this man's violent manner, he doesn't seem easy to get along with; the final outcome won't get any worse.
