Chapter 115: With a flick of a finger, the Great Emperor is slain!

Boom!

The killing intent of the Five-Star Emperor is terrifying beyond compare; it is absolutely not something Ye Chen can block!

He wanted to unleash the Heaven-Swallowing Crucible, but it was useless!

He was completely suppressed!

Ye Chen kept spitting blood from his mouth; this was his first time directly facing a Five-Star Emperor.

Although it was merely a remnant soul of a Five-Star Emperor realm, the gap between it and Ye Chen was as vast as heaven and earth!

Who dares to move my disciple!

A voice rang out from the horizon.

In the next instant, Lu Xuan, wearing a green robe, stepped out from Shan Dian into the void, his robes fluttering in the void's gale; profound Dao Resonance flowed over his body, and resplendent divine radiance enveloped him.

Lu Xuan casually waved his hand; a divine rainbow pierced the void, directly neutralizing the attack aimed at Ye Chen. A gentle force struck Ye Chen, and he instantly recovered his composure.

Ye Chen stared in shock at the green-robed man, "Master, how did you come here?"

Yaoyan was also extremely shocked.

Lu Xuan smiled, "Come to see you."

Yun Hua Emperor glared ferociously at Lu Xuan, "You are the murderer who killed the Cang Ying Emperor!"

Lu Xuan didn't answer, didn't even turn around, and directly ignored the Yun Hua Emperor.

Seeing this, the Yun Hua Emperor directly attacked, his face ferocious as he activated the imperial weapon, riding a bone giant steed, crossing the void straight toward Lu Xuan to blast him, gritting his teeth, he shouted, "Die for me!!"

Boom boom boom!

The Yun Hua Emperor held nothing back; his terrifying attack power transformed into surging divine radiance, like an endless star river, surging toward Lu Xuan.

The power of the Five-Star Emperor evolved into world-shattering might, like falling stars; its tremendous force shook heaven and earth, and a deafening roar echoed through the void.

Lu Xuan didn't turn around; he simply casually blasted a palm backward.

In an instant, the spiritual energy of the wooden puppet was consumed; its supreme killing power shot out, forming a heavenly-piercing divine rainbow that surged between heaven and earth.

At the moment the two attacks collided, the Yun Hua Emperor's offensive power was instantly annihilated.

Seeing this, the Yun Hua Emperor was utterly shocked.

"How is this possible? Who exactly are you?"

The strength of this green-robed man before him surpasses his own!

The aftershock of Lu Xuan's palm had not yet ceased, directly locking onto the Yun Hua Emperor.

The Yun Hua Emperor trembled as he said, "Fellow Daoist, we can cooperate!"

Lu Xuan simply did not respond.

The Yun Hua Emperor immediately performed a supreme secret technique, wanting to send a voice transmission to Tian Ye.

But it was too late; a divine rainbow pierced his body, shattering the imperial weapon in his hand into powder, and the ancient transmission jade slip in his hand directly broke.

Tian Ye's voice came to an abrupt halt.

"Yun Hua Warrior, what..."

The Yun Hua Emperor fell!

Instant kill!

Seeing this, Luo Feng on the ground was instantly stunned.

How could this green-robed man enter this secret realm?

Wasn't it said that this place is suppressed by the Dao Resonance of the Bronze Ancient Hall, allowing only those below the Saint King realm to enter?

Luo Feng's face was ferocious as he snarled, "Cheating! You're cheating!"

If his father Luo Yangtian could also enter this place, then it would be this green-robed man who dies!

Lu Xuan and Ye Chen simply couldn't be bothered to deal with Luo Feng.

Ye Chen showed an excited expression, "Master, could there be something strange about this secret realm?"

He felt that only this reason would alarm the master; otherwise the master would not intervene.

Lu Xuan nodded, then his expression slightly changed as he looked into the interior of this mountain range; he sensed a trace of Chen Zhangsheng's aura.

"Ye Chen, you killed Luo Feng; I will first enter the interior of the mountain range, for there is someone I must find here."

Saying this, Lu Xuan turned into a streak of flowing light and flew directly into the top-grade spirit crystal mine.

Ye Chen, meanwhile, stepped down into the void and arrived before Luo Feng.

Luo Feng begged for mercy, "Young Master Ye, spare my life; I can join forces with you to deal with Qin Xiao."

Ye Chen snorted, "Not needed."

He directly kicked toward Luo Feng's throat.

Luo Feng suddenly sneered, "My father is the Hall Master of the Yunzhou Tian Luo Palace, a Five-Star Emperor! If I die, my father will not let you off..."

Before he could finish, Ye Chen kicked and shattered Luo Feng's throat.

Crack!

Luo Feng's body split apart, his corpse falling from the air!

Blood sprayed out like a fountain!

Luo Feng, instantly breathed his last!

Ye Chen took Luo Feng's storage ring and turned to leave.

However, he did not notice that a mysterious black mist mark drifted from Luo Feng's corpse, heading straight toward Ye Chen.

The mark directly attached to Ye Chen's white robe, forming the shape of a black palace.

On the surface of the black palace were two ancient characters, small, reading "Tian Luo".

The jade slip on Ye Chen's chest flashed with light.

Yaoyan said somewhat excitedly, 'Sect Master Lu is truly omnipresent. The seals and restrictions here are completely meaningless to Sect Master Lu.'

Ye Chen's heart trembled, he clenched his fists, 'Master is invincible!'

Yaoyan smiled faintly, 'The battle of the younger generation, Sect Master Lu will definitely not intervene. Surely Sect Master Lu has been watching your fight. He appeared only when that ancient emperor realm remnant soul made a move against you. But if someone bullies you with superior strength, he will act.'

Upon hearing that, Ye Chen nodded.

Master is so invincible, he absolutely cannot let Master lose face!

He must walk his own path!

Soon, Ye Chen had already arrived before the formation at the entrance.

He was slightly taken aback.

Although this ancient formation is already damaged, for him, wanting to step inside is absolutely not an easy matter.

Yaoyan said, 'Dust-er, it seems this is Sect Master Lu's test for you.'

Ye Chen nodded and said, 'Not bad.'

He began observing the formation, continually striking, blasting a passage through the formation's gaps; the splendid formation patterns kept shattering, like dust in fireworks.

Ye Chen tip-toed, advancing very slowly.

Sometimes, the damaged formation would unleash a lethal force; Ye Chen had to resist with all his might, battling against the formation's power.

Ye Chen estimated, 'At my current speed, I'm afraid it will still take several days to step into this supreme-grade spirit crystal mine.'

At the same time, in a secret chamber of the distant Tian Shen Peak, Tianye's expression was extremely grim; he was almost about to explode with rage.

That assassin has already slain three war commanders!

The Blue Abyss Great Emperor has fallen!

The Divine Reason Great Emperor has fallen!

The Cloud Splendor Great Emperor has fallen!

Of the ten war commanders, only seven remain!

If this continues, their plan will go up in smoke.

Tianye slowly rose to his feet, his expression wavering, and immediately sent a voice transmission to Martial Forge Great Emperor.

Martial Forge Great Emperor was furious beyond measure: 'Gather the remaining seven war commanders; no matter the cost, we must exterminate this person!'

Tianye said, 'As you command!'

He flicked his sleeve, and more than a dozen emperor-realm yin soldiers walked out from the depths of the cave dwelling.

Tianye said in a deep voice, 'Go investigate the assassin's whereabouts and imprint our empire's mark upon his body!'

'As you command!'

A few emperor-realm yin soldiers' forms suddenly blurred as they stepped out of Tian Shen Peak.

At that moment.

The voice-transmitting jade slip in Tianye's bosom trembled, and his divine sense probed into it.

Martial Forge Great Emperor's voice rang out: 'Tianye, war commander, how is our plan proceeding?'

Tianye said, 'I have already sent people to search for this person! I will immediately gather the other war commanders to encircle and kill him!'

Martial Forge Great Emperor's voice was icy: 'One oversight amidst many precautions. I didn't expect an external Great Emperor to slip in! But there's only one; quickly kill him!'

After putting away the voice-transmitting jade slip, Tianye's face turned icy, two flames burning in his eye sockets: 'On the territory of my Martial Forge Empire, you dare to stir up trouble?'

Within the supreme-grade spirit crystal mine.

Chen Zhangsheng had already begun digging the spirit crystal mine; he flicked his sleeve, and a large number of wooden puppet automatons flew out, each transforming into a miner.

There are men and women, old and young!

There are also those of different cultivation realms!

From Nine-Star Xuan Saint to Qi Refining stage, they all exist!

Like a tide, they run everywhere!

Those Xuan Saint realm puppets have solemn expressions, no fluctuation in their eyes, quite seriously taking out spirit hammers and beginning to mine.

And the lower the cultivation, the more gleeful the puppets' expressions.

Some Qi Refining puppets picked up spirit hammers, showed happy smiles, even shouted cheers, 'Ya ho! Work!'

'Clang clang!'

'Clang clang!'

These cultivators held spirit-tool hammers, striking the supreme-grade spirit crystal ore again and again.

Instantly, a sound like hammering iron came from the entire spirit crystal mine, quite rhythmic.

'Clang clang!'

These fallen spirit crystal ores shimmered with divine radiance, illuminating the mine and making it glow brilliantly.

Chen Zhangsheng supervised from the side, taking a brief rest.

Soon.

A continuous stream of spirit crystals flowed into Chen Zhangsheng's storage ring.

In Chen Zhangsheng's heart, a rare ripple arose.

The feeling of harvest is truly great!

He allowed himself a little joy.

Suddenly, he frowned slightly, sensing Lu Xuan's aura; Lu Xuan's figure, like lightning, was shooting toward this place's supreme-grade spirit crystal cavern.

After a moment.

Lu Xuan, in a green robe, had already landed not far from Chen Zhangsheng; he glanced around, seeing many mining figures, and smiled faintly.

Men and women, old and young, tall and short, fat and thin—all present, quite amusing.

Lu Xuan extended five fingers, looking at Chen Zhangsheng.

Chen Zhangsheng didn't understand, asking, "What does that mean?"

Lu Xuan gave a faint smile, "As the saying goes, upon meeting we split half. This top-grade spirit crystal mine, I'll give you face—we'll go fifty-fifty."

Fifty-fifty!

Chen Zhangsheng was stunned.

Is this like sitting back and enjoying the fruits?

Lu Xuan directly took out a Yan Chuang, comfortably reclined on it, "I see you have so many people mining; you also need a few hands, so there's no rush."

Chen Zhangsheng was speechless; he seemed not to have agreed yet, right?

A moment of silence.

Chen Zhangsheng asked, "Are you Ye Chen's master?"

Lu Xuan nodded.

Chen Zhangsheng frowned, "That's the white-robed emperor who drove Duan Hunsheng to suicide, right?"

Lu Xuan smiled without speaking.

Chen Zhangsheng stared at Lu Xuan, "Fellow Daoist, this puppet avatar of yours is not bad."

He too is versed in puppet arts, but Lu Xuan's puppet is naturally perfect, its inner spiritual energy vast; upon inspection, it even surpasses his own puppet attainment.

Chen Zhangsheng asked, "Fellow Daoist, can you bear to part with this puppet and sell it to me?"

Lu Xuan was stunned, "Not for sale."

Chen Zhangsheng did not press further, asking, "Fellow Daoist, your descent here—could it also be for that wisp of Dao Resonance in the Bronze Ancient Hall?"

Lu Xuan nodded.

Chen Zhangsheng was speechless; unable to see through Lu Xuan, he did not act rashly. After a moment's thought, he said, "This top-grade spirit crystal mine, I can go fifty-fifty with you, Fellow Daoist. But if we later compete for the Dao Resonance of the Bronze Ancient Hall, I will show no mercy."

Lu Xuan gave a faint smile, calm and composed, old god at ease, slowly closed his eyes, "No problem."

Two days later.

Chen Zhangsheng-led mining army, mighty and mighty.

Whether Nine-Star Profound Saints or Qi Refining cultivators, they all silently mined.

Wherever they went, spirit crystals kept falling off.

The Profound Saint Realm is naturally the main force; Qi Refining puppets give half the result for double the effort, but still better than nothing.

However, during mining, Chen Zhangsheng strictly controlled the distribution of amounts.

After all, we agreed to fifty-fifty with Lu Xuan, so it's fifty-fifty!

Absolutely no taking more!

Only take one's own share.

Lu Xuan remained still, sitting on the Yan Chuang, like a supervisor.

Another half day passed.

Chen Zhangsheng, as wished, took out half of the top-grade spirit crystal mine.

"Knock off work!"

At Chen Zhangsheng's command, the many wooden puppets cheered and ran back to him.

"Ya ho!"

Those Qi Refining puppets raised their spirit hammers, cheering and leaping with joy.

The Profound Saint puppets mostly had blank expressions, saying nothing.

For a time, a large number of puppets surged forward like a tide!

At this moment, after continuous nonstop mining for two and a half days, these wooden puppets all showed fatigue on their faces.

Especially those Qi Refining puppets directly sat on their buttocks on the ground, calling out, "So tired."

Chen Zhangsheng said, "Each person compensated with one top-grade spirit crystal! If not enough, come find me; stealing is absolutely not allowed!"

As his voice fell, the puppets transmitted a burst of cheerful sounds.

Chen Zhangsheng gave a faint smile, flicked his sleeve, and collected all those wooden puppets.

This time, it indeed consumed a great deal of the puppets' vitality.

After leaving this legacy secret realm, we must let them recover.

Actually, these puppets are all a wisp of his divine sense lodged; conversing with the wooden puppets is essentially talking to himself.

It's like playing a little joke on himself.

After all, the gains are not small; he can be happy a bit.

Chen Zhangsheng in good mood, cupped his hands toward Lu Xuan, "Fellow Daoist, I'm leaving."

Lu Xuan nodded slightly, "Until we meet again."

"Boom!"

Chen Zhangsheng's figure suddenly blurred, in an instant turning into a light breeze that vanished on the spot.

Another two days passed.

Ye Chen finally stepped into the top-grade spirit crystal mine.

When he pushed open the heavy, ancient stone gate, what met his eyes was endless dust on the steps and scattered skeletons in the corners; the primordial wind from outside blew in, and those skeletons instantly disintegrated into powder, scattering with the wind.

Yan Ye suddenly became somewhat excited, laughing, "Dust child, hurry in and look. This top-grade spirit ore is incredible!"

Ye Chen curiously asked, "Old Master Yan, is there any new discovery?"

Yan Ye laughed, "I suspect this is not just a top-grade spirit stone mine, but a top-grade spirit crystal mine!"

Ye Chen's face showed a shocked expression.

A moment of silence.

He walked toward the stairs and stepped down.

Yao Lao said, "I will use my divine sense to probe the danger here; you just go forward."

Ye Chen said, "Okay."

Not long after, as Ye Chen kept going deeper, he finally arrived before Lu Xuan.

"Master!"

Lu Xuan gave a faint smile, "Let's start mining!"

……

Great Dao Sect.

Hidden Place.

Tianxing Lao Zu was still fishing.

Lu Xuan lay on the stone and asked, "Tianxing Lao Zu, are you undergoing the Great Emperor Dao Pattern Baptism?"

Tianxing Lao Zu said, "Give me another two-hour period!"

Lu Xuan: ……

Alright.

Tianxing Lao Zu is already hooked!

After all, he understands too—once you get hooked on fishing, there's really no stopping it!

Ji Fuyao came to Lu Xuan's side, her starry eyes flickering, and she whispered, "Master, what should we do?"

……
