Chapter 102: Five Emperor Classics

Tang Chen slaughtered madly in the illusion realm, seemingly tireless, his wounds appearing to have no effect on him.

But as he slaughtered, after killing many Clear Sky Sect disciples, all the surrounding figures turned into Poseidon.

They turned into countless Poseidon.

Only within ten meters around Tang Chen was his pure land, a domain where Poseidon stepping in would revert to willow branches.

But the countless Poseidon, instead of rushing to attack, hovered silently in midair speaking to Tang Chen.

They spoke the words Poseidon had said to him in his memory.

They spoke the words from his final meeting with Poseidon.

Also among them were Mu Junwu's, such as a Poseidon asking Tang Chen: "You've still not become a god after all this time—truly disappointing."

"Qian Daoliu became a god recently; he came to marry me."

Once a person falls into an illusion, their memories are laid bare before the illusionist, who can then strike directly at their inner weaknesses.

Each Poseidon spoke different words; the mixed clamor, though not loud, had a huge impact on Tang Chen.

Bai Yuan watched everything before him, his eyes flickering slightly, and couldn't help sighing: "It seems the Wood Emperor Longevity Classic has no killing techniques."

Bai Yuan had not cultivated the Wood Emperor Longevity Classic; he could only observe Mu Junwu in battle, and after several observations, her self‑preservation methods made it nearly impossible for peers to kill her.

Moreover, her illusion methods were extremely strange.

Yet she severely lacked offensive means.

Just now, if he had acted, Tang Chen would have lost his life the moment he dazed at the Poseidon's appearance, with no chance to defend.

Just as Bai Yuan was commenting, Tang Chen suddenly roared like a madman: "The one she loves is me! Qian Daoliu could never become a god! I just didn't understand back then!"

With a roar, the sword‑shaped blood‑colored demon mark on Tang Chen's brow flared again, releasing intense blood‑colored light.

Under this light, the illusions around Tang Chen all shattered, restoring to countless willow branches.

"Kill!" shouted the enraged Tang Chen, swinging his Asura Sword without hesitation straight at Mu Junwu's true form.

Innumerable willow branches snapped off; without the illusion's aid, Mu Junwu completely blocked Tang Chen wielding the transcendent divine artifact.

Hand rose, sword fell—blood‑colored sword light descended.

Mu Junwu's massive trunk was slashed diagonally and cut in half.

Before the upper half could slide away, a vast surge of life energy appeared out of nowhere, erasing the killing qi within the trunk and instantly restoring it to its original state.

"I don't believe the artifact can't kill you!" Tang Chen gripped the Asura Sword's hilt with both hands, raised it high, and chopped straight down.

This sword dyed the world in a layer of blood.

Under Mu Junwu's control, billions of willow branches moved to block the sword, but beneath the transcendent divine artifact's edge they were as flimsy as paper.

In the blink of an eye, Mu Junwu's towering true form, hundreds of meters high, was split straight down from top to underground by Tang Chen's sword.

Feeling all this, Bai Yuan inwardly snapped: "Asura God, since you disregard martial virtue and play tricks in the divine realm, then I'll join in!"

Bai Yuan opened the last currently needed treasure chest.

Ding! Congratulations, host, you obtained the World‑Extermination Classic ×1, God‑Slaying Classic ×1, Indestructibility Classic ×1, Nurturing Origin Classic ×1.

【World‑Extermination Classic: One of the Five Directions Five Emperors, the Fire Emperor's (Red Emperor's) supreme art, hailed as the world's foremost destruction technique.】

【God‑Slaying Classic: One of the Five Directions Five Emperors, the Gold Emperor's (White Emperor's) supreme art, hailed as the world's foremost slaughter technique.】

【Indestructibility Classic: One of the Five Directions Five Emperors, the Water Emperor's (Black Emperor's) supreme art, hailed as the world's foremost defense technique.】

【Nurturing Origin Classic: One of the Five Directions Five Emperors, the Earth Emperor's (Yellow Emperor's) supreme art, hailed as the world's foremost dual‑cultivation technique.】

【Special: These four classics together with the Longevity Classic are called the Five Emperor Classics (Five Emperors Classics); the Longevity Classic is hailed as the world's foremost recovery ability.】

Seeing only four manuals appear, Bai Yuan couldn't help twitching his mouth, yet without hesitation he gave them to Mu Junwu.

At this moment, Mu Junwu, amid vast vitality, recovered in the blink of an eye as if nothing had happened.

But she clearly knew she could withstand only a few more strikes.

After all, that is a transcendent divine artifact, equivalent to a Void Refinement master's weapon; yet Mu Junwu, with half‑step Nascent Soul strength, stubbornly blocked several strikes.

Seeing this, Tang Chen snorted coldly: "I want to see whether you're truly immortal or just pretending."

Tang Chen paused, then said: "Even if you are truly immortal, I'll make you wish you were dead."

Mu Junwu gave no reply; she only felt four massive streams of information flooding into her body, almost bursting her apart.

Fortunately, the Wood Emperor Longevity Classic protected her; even if her soul was damaged, it could instantly restore her to normal.

After sensing these four profound scriptures, Mu Junwu became both delighted and tormented, obsessively immersing herself to continually grasp the mysteries of the Five Emperor Classics.

In reality, Tang Chen wildly swung his Asura Sword, striking down dozens of times in succession, splitting Mu Junwu into hundreds or thousands of pieces.

"Finally dead?" Tang Chen gazed at the scattered willow branches and huge wood chunks, his killing intent undiminished, planning to separate them even more thoroughly.

So they wouldn't revive after he left.

Holding the Asura Sword aloft, soul power surged continuously within him; just as Tang Chen was about to strike, a sudden surge of extreme danger rose in his heart.

Tang Chen instinctively turned his head and saw an enormous white tiger radiating incomprehensible slaughter aura lunging at him.

Having gathered his strength, the Asura Sword decisively chopped down.

Killing force against slaughter aura.

Both sides blazed with terrifying energy erupting; the space where the forces collided turned to dust.

Then, a barrage of heavenly fire meteors descended—each a giant fireball hundreds of meters in diameter, bringing scorching heat capable of melting metal and stone.

Tang Chen spared no soul power, swinging his Asura Sword repeatedly.

Boom boom boom!

Continuous explosion sounds rang out.

Accompanying them, countless water vapors in the air gathered at once, forming a water sphere that trapped Tang Chen.

Trivial tricks! Tang Chen swung his Asura Sword again.

However, when facing the seemingly weakest water sphere, after the unfailingly advantageous Asura Sword was swung, it only caused the entire water sphere to quake violently, showing no sign of being broken at all.

Confronted with such signs, Tang Chen finally showed a slight change in complexion.

At the same time, the broken wooden fragments and countless shattered willow twigs on the ground once again emitted a greenish light, and immediately thereafter they restored themselves to their original state.

It seemed as if everything that just occurred had taken place within an illusion.
