Chapter 649: Flesh Becomes Emperor!

The Third Nether King glared at Jun Xiao, fury blazing, his chest heaving up and down from anger.

"Damn it, we agreed only Su Yu would enter, when did a Dragon Clan sneak in!"

"Damn, it's still an Azure Dragon! You say, isn't it a descendant of the Azure Dragon Saint!"

"Do you Blade Execution Court still have any shame!"

The Third Nether King vented all his anger in one breath.

You should know the Nine Abyss Pool is extremely precious; even for those of the Nine Abyss Purgatory, wanting to train there is enormously difficult.

After all, once the energy in the Nine Abyss Pool is used, it needs replenishing, and replenishing it consumes resources beyond count.

Even the energy of some fallen powerhouses of the Nine Abyss Purgatory isn't enough to replenish it.

Naturally, if it can go unused, it should go unused.

After all, even the Saints of the Nine Abyss Purgatory need to train via the Nine Abyss Pool.

If we let some Venerable Emperors go in, wouldn't that be wasting the Nine Abyss Pool's energy for nothing?

For a moment, the Third Nether King felt like his mindset was about to explode?

Even the Second Nether King gave Jun Xiao a somewhat unfriendly look.

Admittedly, the Nine Abyss Purgatory had pulled some tricks when testing Su Yu.

But damn, bringing in an extra person is going too far.

Facing the gaze of the three Nether Kings, Jun Xiao couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

This matter really seems like the Blade Execution Court is in the wrong.

"But... this little Azure Dragon shouldn't count as a person, right?"

Jun Xiao said cautiously.

Does the Little Azure Dragon count as a person?

That's definitely not counted.

Then, by that logic, Su Yu didn't bring anyone in!

Hmm, no problem!

Jun Xiao, for a moment, was convinced by his own reasoning.

"The pinnacle of lying is convincing yourself! And obviously, Jun Xiao has achieved that!"

"Unity of Heaven and Man!"

The Second Nether King gazed at Jun Xiao with a wistful look, his weathered voice slowly drifting over.

"Heheh, damn it, are you Blade Execution Court treating my Nine Abyss Purgatory folks as fools?"

"Although this Azure Dragon isn't counted as a person, his speed of absorbing energy is not slower than a human's at all!"

Everyone paused, looking toward the light curtain.

Sure enough, inside the Nine Abyss Pool, the Little Azure Dragon seemed to be swimming, but its speed of absorbing energy was extremely fast.

It was even almost catching up to Su Yu.

Such speed is truly somewhat ferocious.

Moreover, the Little Azure Dragon's cultivation was actually steadily increasing.

"Well..." Jun Xiao's eyes shifted, speaking righteously: "This Azure Dragon is Su Yu's pet; a pet also counts as part of one's own strength. Su Yu enhancing his own strength—what's wrong with that?"

"The Nine Abyss Pool is meant for boosting strength!"

"You Nine Abyss Purgatory can't afford to play!"

"If you can't afford it, just tell the Azure Dragon Saint you're quitting!"

Jun Xiao's speech grew faster, his eyes shining with brilliance.

As if he had found a justification.

"Uh...."

The three Nether Kings, hearing Jun Xiao's words, momentarily felt they were somewhat correct.

But... the energy inside the Nine Abyss Pool is obviously decreasing!

Finally, the Second Nether King, feeling weary, said: "Forget it; after this, let the Blade Execution Court give my Nine Abyss Purgatory some resource compensation—after all, this Azure Dragon already counts as a person."

"Of course, if Su Yu can last more than a month, we Nine Abyss Purgatory can even forego that compensation!"

Hearing the Second Nether King's words, Jun Xiao rubbed his chin.

To be honest, Jun Xiao really didn't want to agree.

But feeling the gazes of the three, he seemed that if he didn't agree, he might not even be able to leave.

I thought this trip was just for showing off, but damn, I almost got dragged in myself.

I have to admit, it's really a bit of a loss.

Finally, Jun Xiao sighed, "Alright, alright, give you ten Azure Kui Cores; anyway, the formation of your Nine Abyss Pool can convert any energy."

The Second Nether King's eyes lit up.

The Kui's core, though entirely Divine Spirit Aura, is utterly useless to the Human Race.

But the formation within the Nine Abyss Pool can convert any energy into power usable for human cultivation.

Although Divine Spirit Aura doesn't quite match the Human Race's physique, essentially it's still energy.

Once converted, though some energy is lost, it's still acceptable.

Moreover, the Azure Kui is comparable to an Imperial Realm expert.

"Can!"

The Second Nether King nodded.

That is, the Spiritual Abyss Passageways are all suppressed by the Blade Execution Court, and the Blade Execution Court could not easily hand over the Kui's core.

Some cores of Grey Champions and Purple Champions could perhaps be taken out to exchange for some resources.

But those things are useless; for disciples of the Nine Netherworld Purgatory, they might be a great gain.

But for Imperial Realm experts and Saint Realm experts, they are useless.

An agreement was reached between the two sides.

The Second Nether King was very satisfied.

After all, given Su Yu's current speed, even if he stayed in the Nine Netherworld Purgatory for ten days or half a month, he could at most absorb power comparable to that of an Imperial Realm expert.

But on our side, we have gained some.

Even adding the Little Azure Dragon... well, perhaps we still lost a little, but it's not unacceptable.

He casually and quietly observed the situation in the light curtain.

In the Nine Netherworld Pool, the Little Azure Dragon continuously absorbed the energy inside.

After the Little Azure Dragon swallowed the inner core of a Venerable Realm Azure Dragon, it broke through to the early Venerable Realm, and then it never improved further.

Although it cultivates all the time, its speed is nowhere near as monstrous as Su Yu's!

But now, with the help of the Nine Netherworld Pool, the Little Azure Dragon's aura also began to surge continuously.

Boom—!!

The powerful aura stirred up wave after wave.

It even completely evaporated some of the pool water in the Nine Netherworld Pool.

The Little Azure Dragon's cultivation began to surge.

In just one day, the Little Azure Dragon's cultivation rose from just entering the Venerable Realm to the peak of the early Venerable Realm.

Moreover, as time passed, the Little Azure Dragon easily reached the middle Venerable Realm.

Beside him, Su Yu still shimmered with the light of stars upon his body.

With the help of various energies, the starlight grew ever brighter.

Like a vast river of stars.

Behind him, a black hole illusion gradually appeared.

Appearing alongside it was also the sword formed from the Broken Law.

Another seven days passed.

Su Yu had already spent a full fifteen days in the Nine Netherworld Pool.

Behind Su Yu, the illusion of the sword formed from the Broken Law became incredibly solid.

In the next moment, it directly transformed into a crimson star, which surged into Su Yu's body.

It appeared in that expanse of the star sea.

However, compared to other stars, the star formed from the Broken Law was purely crimson.

From afar, it looked like a star wrapped in blood.

"This is..."

In the hall, the pupils of the four people contracted slightly.

"Fleshly body attains the Imperial Realm!"

The Fourth Nether King exclaimed in shock.

Afterward, within the light curtain.

On Su Yu's body, a violent power suddenly surged forth.

The Chaos Body Forging Technique turned slowly, as if a dragon's roar continually echoed within Su Yu's body.

The crimson bodily strength gradually grew richer.

Finally, it transformed into a ferocious crimson giant dragon, coiling around Su Yu's body.

It let out a deafening roar.

Roar roar roar!!!

Dragon's roars came in waves, even causing the void to tremble slightly.

Outside the valley, some Imperial Realm experts tasked with guarding the Nine Netherworld Pool heard this sound and all changed expression.

Their gazes all turned toward the Nine Netherworld Pool.

"This fluctuation... could it be that someone has entered the Imperial Realm? And moreover, achieved a fleshly Imperial Realm!"

An Imperial Realm expert spoke in shock.

"Hiss, if I remember correctly, the person still in the Nine Netherworld Pool should be Su Yu, right?"

"Damn, in just half a month, he actually directly cultivated his fleshly body to the Imperial Realm; this Su Yu is surely too terrifying!"

The faces of the Imperial Realm experts showed horrified expressions.

"A fleshly Imperial Realm, hiss, this is directly equivalent to a mid‑Imperial Realm expert!"

On everyone's faces, the shock lingered for a long time.

You should know, a mid‑Imperial Realm expert can already be considered a power capable of suppressing a region in the Central Immortal Domain.

They could even establish a third‑rate force.

Don't underestimate a mere third‑rate force; if placed in the Four Great Domains, even a third‑rate force from the Central Immortal Domain could easily dominate the entire Four Great Domains.

Clearly, Su Yu's current strength is how terrifying.

A group of Imperial Realm experts looked enviously toward the Nine Netherworld Pool.

Achieving a fleshly Imperial Realm, once such a person raises their fleshly body to the peak of the Imperial Realm,

they could even exchange blows with a Saint of the First Heaven!

Although they might not win, at least they would not be killed by the opponent!

Inside the Nine Nether Pool.

Little Azure Dragon watched the physical giant dragon coiled around Su Yu's body, also letting out an excited hiss.

It seemed to be responding.

And on the Little Azure Dragon's body, azure light flickered, a powerful aura gradually emerged.

Mid-stage peak of the Venerable Realm!

Just one step away, and he could enter the late stage of the Venerable Realm!

Over these many days, it's not only Su Yu who is improving; the Little Azure Dragon's improvement is also extremely swift.

Only, it's not as fast as Su Yu.

Inside the hall, several Sacred Realm experts watched this scene, all feeling somewhat emotional.

"This little brat, only twenty years old, has actually come this far; thinking back to when I was twenty, I was only at the Venerable Realm—I really feel ashamed!"

The Fourth Nether King sighed.

The Second Nether King also agreed, saying, "That's right; when I was twenty, I had barely reached the peak of the Venerable Realm!"

Fourth Nether King:????

Damn it, you just have to pull one and step on the other, right!

Fine, fine, fine, your Venerable Realm peak is awesome; anyway I can't beat you now.

The Fourth Nether King silently turned away, his finger drawing circles on the ground.

Only the Third Nether King looked at the light screen and finally spoke slowly.

"Have you noticed that after these two little things broke through, their absorption speed is getting faster and faster?"

The Third Nether King gloomily looked toward the Second Nether King.

"Huh?"

The Second Nether King's brow twitched slightly, he felt it a bit, and his expression instantly stiffened.

If previously Su Yu could only absorb one unit of energy per hour,

then now Su Yu can absorb two, even three units of energy per hour!

As a result, the pool water on the Nine Nether Pool began to decrease at a visible speed.

"Damn, this guy is a beast! Absorbing this fast, isn't he afraid his body can't take it and will burst?"

The Second Nether King rarely swore.

The Third Nether King continued gloomily, "He's already achieved a corporeal sovereign; he needn't fear excess energy, only complain that there's too little!"

Second Nether King:....

He suddenly felt that asking the Executioner's Court for ten Azure Kui cores might be too little.

He slowly looked toward Jun Xiao.

Jun Xiao immediately turned his head, whistling at the empty air.

I can't see! I can't see! I can't see!

Seeing Jun Xiao's reaction, the Second Nether King, although a bit troubled, still felt embarrassed to speak.

But that's fine; ten Azure Kui cores at least can compensate for what the Little Azure Dragon absorbed, and as for Su Yu's absorbed energy, it can also recoup a bit.

Anyway, preparations for bloodletting have already been made.

"Heh heh, this Executioner's Court executioner of mine is not bad; he's lasted half a month, perhaps a month wouldn't be difficult for him!"

At this moment, Jun Xiao laughed and spoke.

The Second Nether King expressionlessly glanced at Jun Xiao, not smiling.

Damn, you know how to speak now, huh.

But after receiving Jun Xiao's reminder, the Second Nether King also perked up.

Perhaps... Su Yu really can last a month?

At this moment, the Second Nether King recalled a legend of the Nine Nether Purgatory.

If someone could endure for a month, perhaps they could obtain an audience with the phantom left by the founder of the Nine Nether Purgatory!

Time kept flowing.

In the blink of an eye, another ten days passed.

Over ten days, Su Yu still kept his eyes tightly shut; even his body began to be covered in frost.

One can see how cold the temperature inside the Nine Nether Pool is.

Beside him, the Little Azure Dragon could no longer bear it and returned to Su Yu's pocket.

At this moment, the Little Azure Dragon also successfully reached the peak of the Venerable Realm.

The Sovereign Realm is not far off.

As for Su Yu, besides his physical body breaking through to the Sovereign Realm, the black hole phantom behind him became even more focused.

It seems there are no other changes.

Time began to flow bit by bit.

One day!

Two days!

Three days!

Four days!

Another four days passed.

Su Yu had already stayed a full twenty-nine days inside the Nine Nether Pool.

At this moment, in the hall, the three Nether Kings dared not even breathe as they gazed at the light screen.

They look extremely tense.

「Could it be that Su Yu really can be granted an audience with the ancestor's phantom? 」

The Second Underworld King's heart couldn't help but tremble, and they muttered to themselves.

At this moment, the flow of time seemed to slow down.

In the Second Underworld King's eyes, layers of bloodshot veins filled their gaze.

Finally, amidst the anxious wait of the three Underworld Kings, the time of the last day finally passed.

They had arrived at the thirtieth day!

One month!
