Chapter 111: Substitute Death Curse

Sounds of joy continually rang out, mixed with a hint of doubt from Luan Yue Old Ancestor.

She hadn't expected that the man before her, though not sturdy in appearance, had an exceptionally hard body.

She had been draining him for nearly two minutes, yet found that he still hadn't been completely emptied by her.

Generally speaking, even a cultivator who has reached Perfected Concentration would only last two minutes here at most.

Any longer and it would cost a life.

And Lu Chen showed no sign of fatigue at all.

His cultivation and Yang energy within seemed inexhaustible.

"Could it be that he possesses a special physique?"

Luan Yue Old Ancestor took a look.

Indeed, she discovered that Lu Chen actually possessed a rare Supreme Pure Yang Spiritual Root.

"No wonder it's inexhaustible."

Her eyes lit up; having lived several thousand years, she had only ever seen a few dozen Pure Yang Spiritual Roots.

Among them, she had seen a Supreme Pure Yang Spiritual Root only once.

Unfortunately, the male cultivator with that Pure Yang Spiritual Root died in an accident at the hands of an enemy sect.

"Having searched high and low without success, it came effortlessly."

She was in high spirits and suddenly stopped her movements.

"Come, follow me to the bedchamber."

The next moment, she waved her hand, and a rift instantly formed in the space before her.

Through the rift, the large bed in her bedchamber could be clearly seen.

On either side of the bed, some of her male favorites knelt respectfully.

"What a perverted woman......"

Lu Chen looked at the situation, his brows furrowed tightly.

Having noticed his expression, Luan Yue Old Ancestor waved her hand, driving all the other male favorites away.

"From now on, you will be my sole male favorite, understand?"

Luan Yue Old Ancestor's words carried an undeniable tone, and as she spoke, a barely perceptible aura entered Lu Chen's body through his breath.

【Ding! Detected host inhaled the lustful aura.】

【Original effect: divine sense affected, becomes unclear, autonomous cognition declines.】

【Reverse effect: divine sense unaffected, becomes clearer, autonomous cognition improves.】

Noticing the system prompt, Lu Chen immediately pretended to be affected.

He foolishly nodded, which finally satisfied Luan Yue Old Ancestor.

"Not bad, lie down over here."

Under her guidance, Lu Chen lay upon the bed that seemed to be made from some kind of demon beast hide.

Glancing around the room, he could see one corner filled with various medicine altars, and on a shelf on the other side hung all sorts of indescribable implements.

"What a perverted woman......"

Lu Chen suddenly felt unclean.

Faced with such a woman, he was a bit reluctant to use the Pulling Technique.

Because he always felt that leaving a wisp of his soul as a mark inside her was defiling himself.

But if he didn't use the Pulling Technique, he would be defiled even more by her.

Thinking this, he hurriedly prepared to employ the Pulling Technique.

The next moment, she pounced upon him like a ferocious tiger.

"Heart-Soul Pulling Technique!"

Lu Chen's thought moved, and a wisp of his divine soul instantly drilled into the space of her sea of consciousness.

"Huh?"

Luan Yue Old Ancestor furrowed her brows slightly, propped her hands on the bed, lowered her head, and looked at Lu Chen.

"What did you just do to me? You actually dare to use such lowly trash to try to control me?"

Luan Yue Old Ancestor's expression changed instantly.

She had thought this Supreme Pure Yang Spiritual Root was a fortunate encounter for her.

She hadn't expected that he came with a purpose.

"Heart-Soul Pulling Technique? If I recall correctly, that seems to be a technique of the Heavenly Demon Sect."

"It seems you are indeed from the Heavenly Demon Sect; I never expected that when Youxiang broke through in comprehension of the Dao, it didn't also refine you."

Luan Yue Old Ancestor said this, giving a half-smile as she looked at Lu Chen, reaching out a hand to slightly lift his chin.

"I'll give you one chance: tell me who sent you, and I'll spare your life, letting you continue as my male favorite."

"If you refuse, I will refine you right now."

In an instant, her form shifted; right before Lu Chen's eyes she suddenly grew huge, ultimately becoming a strange creature that was neither human nor snake.

"She is indeed a shape-shifting demon beast." Lu Chen wasn't overly surprised by this.

He believed in the ability of the Pulling Technique after the Empress's modification, so all he needed now was to wait.

Hold her off, wait for the Pulling Technique to finish completely.

"What, still no answer? Do you think your Pulling Technique will still work?"

Luan Yue Old Ancestor's true form burst into laughter, but at that moment the smile on her face froze.

"This......!"

She suddenly felt a strange sensation coming from deep within her sea of consciousness.

But she clearly felt no intrusion of any being into the cave-heaven within her sea of consciousness.

She had originally wanted to toy with Lu Chen a bit more, but now she couldn't bother with that, and immediately projected her consciousness into the cave-heaven within her sea of consciousness.

Here, she saw the thing that both Su Qian and Mu Hanyu had seen before.

"Is this a pulling-technique seal?"

"How is that possible!"

She panicked.

She couldn't understand why a Huàlíng cultivator could actually use the pulling technique to leave a seal inside her sea of consciousness.

Clearly everything was fine, so where did things go wrong?

Immediately, she recalled something.

"As long as we kill the puller, the seal will automatically dissolve!"

Thinking this, her consciousness instantly returned to reality, wanting to seize the opportunity before the seal fully formed to strike first and kill Lu Chen.

She moved extremely fast, and in just an instant she had already struck.

Lu Chen knew the seal had not yet formed, and the opponent still had the ability to kill him, so he did not sit and wait for death, but immediately employed every life-preserving demonic art he could muster for defense.

The Extreme Martial Demon Canon, Yin Demon Substitution Curse, Heavenly Demon Dissolution Great Law, and even the Yin Wind Escape.

Although for him the damage was immense, all of this was worth it.

The next instant, the attack of Ancestor Luan Yue arrived.

"Boom!"

With all her strength, she struck, and her sleeping palace instantly turned into ruins.

Ancestor Luan Yue originally thought that his all-out strike could instantly kill Lu Chen, but he didn't expect that the opponent would suffer not a single injury from his attack.

"How is that possible!"

She merely gasped for a moment, then struck again.

She knew time was pressing at this moment.

Even if Lu Chen possessed countless life-saving treasures, as long as she attacked enough times, she could eventually break through his defenses in a short time.

Seeing this, Lu Chen's face showed a rare hint of fear.

A Dao-realizing cultivator is indeed terrifying; after surviving the heavenly tribulation, their power increase compared to a perfected cave-heaven cultivator is like heaven and earth.

A Dao-realizing cultivator, if nothing unexpected happens, can slay countless cave-heaven cultivators.

As long as his spiritual and murderous qi are not exhausted, no matter how many, it's impossible to kill him.

"My remnant soul has already been used once; the death-substitution curse can only block one more attack; all possible enhancing means have been expended."

Upon discovering his sleeping palace had collapsed, he immediately decided to flee first.

At the moment he decided to carry it out, he had already fled a thousand meters away.

Because the Myriad Demon Tower lacked a protective sect grand formation, his escape technique proceeded very smoothly.

And behind him, Ancestor Luan Yue was relentlessly pursuing.

"Don't run!"
