Chapter 165: Crushing the Evil Body

He knew that the various sects were led by Xu Chen, and he also knew that several of these sects possessed Eighth-grade experts. However, he felt none of these Eighth-grade experts were worth worrying about.

The only one he feared was Xu Chen, who possessed an Eighth-grade Physical Body and Eighth-grade Divine Sense. Yet before, it was merely fear, not to the extent of terror.

But now, with Xu Chen's Eight-grade Realm revealed, a wave of post-fear surged in his heart for no reason. Clearly, as an Evil Body, his strength was not lacking.

But this feeling was simply difficult to control.

Xu Chen raised his eyes at this moment and said indifferently, "Do you still think you can leave today?" In that instant, the power of Xu Chen's Protective Qi erupted to its strongest.

This Protective Qi of the "Eternal Saint Body" could withstand attacks from the Middle Stage of the Eighth Grade. This Evil Body's Gu Poison Qi would have no effect on him.

"His Protective Qi has also strengthened."

At this moment, the crowds from the Shadow Gate, Jingang Gate, Qixiu Workshop, Heavenly Sword Sect, Thousand Poison Workshop, Demon Sect, and other major sects were once again shocked.

All the Saint Sons and Saintess watched Xu Chen reveal his strength; some had complex expressions, while others looked utterly stunned.

Nothing else; it was simply because Xu Chen's strength had skyrocketed too fast. Fast was one thing, but it was also extremely stable!

The aura of his Physical Body, the aura of his Realm, the aura of his Divine Sense, the aura of his Protective Qi—none of them were unstable.

It was stable to a degree they could hardly believe. "Whoosh!"

In an instant, Xu Chen used Space Movement, darted to the front of the Evil Body, and suddenly smashed a fist down.

He wanted to test just how strong his Physical Body was at this moment.

The Evil Body, slightly angered, said, "Comparing Physical Bodies with me? Do you really think I fear you?" As he spoke, the Evil Body roared directly, condensing all his strength into his fist.

The next second, carrying black light, he directly collided his fist with Xu Chen's fist.

"Bang!"

Pale green Spiritual Qi and black Spiritual Qi clashed; the intense afterwaves of Spiritual Qi immediately spread out like ripples with a thunderous boom.

The surrounding space shattered directly, and countless spatial turbulence suddenly surged out.

Howling hurricanes instantly formed, enveloping the two figures, displaying the ferocious momentum of their clash.

"Boom!"

It was simply something the crowd could not have imagined. The Evil Body's figure, the very instant he was struck by Xu Chen, turned directly into a cannonball, shooting toward the ground.

Finally, he smashed the ground until it cracked, and dust swept everywhere. At the Evil Body's fist, faint cracks were appearing. It looked like a spiderweb.

"Damn! This Evil Body must have at least a Seventh Grade Perfection Physical Body, yet his fist was broken?" The crowd's mouths hung wide open.

Bu Fengshuang shook his head and said, "The strength of an Eighth-grade Physical Body is merely that the cracks appeared because the control over the body was unfamiliar." The Evil Body sneered, "As an Eighth-grade Physical Body, you can beat me to this extent; that counts as impressive. However, next, when you face my Gu Poison attacks, you will be completely powerless." Xu Chen said indifferently, "Gu Poison is ineffective against me." The Evil Body said coldly, "This is Poison Gu Qi; how can it be compared to mere Gu Poison?" Having finished speaking, he changed hand seals with both hands.

In an instant, a black spear with an Eighth-grade aura appeared before him.

The spear tip held a black, cold light aura; countless poisonous Gu condensed upon the spear, its aura grim and terrifying.

"Whoosh!"

The next second, this ferocious black spear shot toward Xu Chen like an arrow leaving the bowstring.

Many Eighth-grade experts in the surroundings saw the black spear and were secretly shocked. With their Physical Bodies, they dared not clash directly with this spear full of Gu Poison. Because whether it was Gu Poison or Spiritual Qi, they lacked the confidence to clash head-on. "Not bad, an Earth Grade Advanced Martial Art. Even placed in the Taichu Sacred Land, such a martial art would be one of the supreme arts."

"However, a martial art of this level is useless against me." As he spoke, Xu Chen's expression remained calm; he did not even intend to block. "Bang!" In the crowd's stunned gaze, Xu Chen and this black Gu Poison spear collided directly. The Evil Body's lips curled into a grim smile: "Daring to clash head-on, do you really think my Earth Grade Advanced Martial Art is trash?"

The implication was that he believed Xu Chen would inevitably pay a certain price this time.

Even if he didn't die, he would surely be severely injured. "Is that so?"

The next second, that black spear shook wildly, like an electric drill, trying to pierce through Xu Chen's Protective Qi.

Even the sparks flying from the excessive speed made people tremble with fear. However, no matter how the black poisonous Gu spear surged, Xu Chen's Protective Qi remained completely unmoved.

Let alone Xu Chen getting injured, he didn't even take a single step back.

Finally, Xu Chen slowly extended his right hand, grabbed the shaking black Gu Poison spear, and squeezed lightly. In an instant, the black Gu Poison spear turned into black spiritual light and vanished completely between heaven and earth.

"Your Earth Grade Advanced Martial Art is just this?"

"Sorry, I really do consider your martial art to be trash." Xu Chen raised his eyes and said with a calm expression.

The Evil Body's pupils shrank slightly; he hadn't even broken the Protective Qi? Could Xu Chen's Protective Qi be a Heaven-Rank Technique?

For a moment, fear surged in his heart, and he involuntarily began to tremble. The crowds from the various sects below were also secretly shocked.

This Protective Qi was truly formidable! Just now, they had almost shouted out loud. "Run!"

At this moment, the Evil Body finally realized that Gu Poison was ineffective against Xu Chen, and his Spiritual Qi was also ineffective against Xu Chen.

At this time, if he didn't run, he would surely die. "Whoosh!"

Having thought this, he instantly transformed into poisonous smoke and fled in all directions. His Puppet Body was extremely special; every part was the original body.

So as long as a wisp of his poisonous smoke could escape, it meant he could escape. "Hahaha, Xu Chen, you are indeed very powerful, but my Endless Divisions are a Heaven-Rank Technique."

"No matter how powerful you are, can you suppress a Heaven-Rank Technique?"

Having finished speaking, from his tens of millions of wisp of poisonous smoke, every single wisp emitted his laughter. For a moment, the various sects could no longer distinguish true from false, nor could they distinguish reality from illusion. Could they still pursue?

They asked themselves; if it were them, they probably could not pursue. Myriad black smokes, endless divisions, a Heaven-Rank Technique—how could they pursue? Bu Fengshuang stepped forward, about to set up an Array to envelop all these black smokes. Even Yi Bingrou was about to use Frozen Thousand Miles, wanting to trap the Evil Body. Xu Chen waved his hand and said, "No need!"

Having finished speaking, he simply spoke softly: "Bind!"

The next second, the myriad black smokes that were just about to flee the Cold Ice and Flame Valley suddenly froze motionless.

Even the surrounding dust was suddenly and strangely bound.

The Evil Body frantically released power, trying to shatter space, but found he couldn't even release power. The Evil Body's pupils shrank slightly, and in horror he said, "This is not simple space binding; what is going on?" Instantly, his hair stood on end, and a thick sense of death crisis began to envelop his heart. "Return!" The next second, driven by the Space Law, all the black smoke traversed space and returned to Xu Chen's side.

In an instant, this endless black smoke condensed again, then transformed back into the form of the Evil Body. However, the Evil Body at this moment no longer had the arrogant and wild look from before. There was only endless fear and terror. He immediately trembled and knelt in the air, saying, "I beg for mercy; I am willing to acknowledge you as my master and serve you.

I am a special Gu Poison Puppet; ten thousand poisons lean upon my body, and I can suppress their Gu Poison Puppets.

Conversely, the ordinary Puppets of the Wan Gu Sect and the Five Poisons Sect are completely unable to suppress me. I beg you." At this moment, if the Evil Body did not have tears, he would probably be weeping profusely. Xi said, "Indeed very special; a Puppet condensed by an Evil Body has great research value." Xu Chen, who had originally intended to carve a Divine Sense Imprint into the Evil Body to control his actions, paused after hearing this. If Xi wanted to research, then keeping the Evil Body was still too dangerous.

Therefore, Xu Chen smiled and said, "I prefer to control it myself; you just leave your memories behind."

"Buzz!" Having finished speaking, Xu Chen used the "Divine God Soul-Suppressing Palm," and the Divine Sense palm print instantly slapped toward the Evil Body. In an instant, the Evil Body's Divine Sense completely dissipated, replaced by Xu Chen's Divine Sense. At the same time, Xu Chen began to use the Soul Searching Technique to search the Evil Body's past. Quickly, Xu Chen completely understood the reason.

This Evil Body was originally a Poison Cultivator and a Gu Cultivator from ten thousand years ago.

After his demise, the Evil Body's Divine Sense was born from his Physical Body, then slowly devoured other Gu Poisons, gradually growing.

Having grown to this point, it has already approached its complete form.

Theoretically, the complete form of an Evil Body possesses the strength of a Martial Emperor; one need only continuously devour Gu Poison.

This is very similar to Han Ruo, and it has absolutely no lifespan limit, for it is merely a Puppet. Pity it was discovered and slain by Xu Chen today.

Now that Xu Chen had mastered this Eighth-Grade Gu Poison Puppet, he immediately said cheerfully, "An Eighth-Grade Physical Body, Eighth-Grade Divine Sense, and Eighth-Grade Realm Gu Poison Puppet; neither the Wan Gu Sect nor the Five Poisons Sect should have one like this."

Xi affirmed, "Not only do they not have one; it is fundamentally impossible to have a Puppet so comprehensively developed." Duanmu Xin smiled and said, "Xu Chen, does this count as one of your avatars?" Xu Chen shook his head, "No, it is merely my emotionless Puppet." Duanmu Xin laughed, "But doesn't it contain a strand of your Divine Sense?" Xu Chen: "..." Could it be that Duanmu Xin, unable to have him, wanted to play with this Puppet? As expected, Duanmu Xin smiled, "Lend it to me to play with?" Xu Chen rolled his eyes, "No lending. This Puppet is now my enforcer; it is born with Extreme Evil Poison Gu and is immortal and indestructible. If your Magic Qi were to come into contact with such Gu Poison, you might meet your demise then." Duanmu Xin pouted and said no more. Xi said seriously, "I am not afraid. If possible, lend it to me for research; I mean no harm." Xu Chen bared his teeth, "We'll see about that later." At this moment, Zhao Qingyun's voice came through, "Han Ruoxi is being hunted by people from the Wan Gu Sect and the Five Poisons Sect and has already been injured. Should we save her?" Xu Chen frowned, "Wasn't she hiding quite well? Given her personality, how did she get exposed?" Zhao Qingyun said, "Han Ruoxi accidentally exposed herself while trying to seize the Secret Technique to decipher the Gu Poison. Judging by her intent, it seems she did it to seize it for you; otherwise, she would never have exposed herself. Fortunately, few people know her identity—only those hunting her. If we can kill them all to silence them, she can still return to the Five Poisons Sect." Xu Chen rubbed his temples; what reason did he have left not to save her? The female lead cannot die, especially Han Ruoxi, as the Taichu Sacred Land will need her later. "Save her!" Xu Chen declared firmly.

Zhao Qingyun nodded and very quickly sent all relevant information regarding Han Ruoxi.

Xu Chen narrowed his eyes slightly; having just subdued this Gu Poison Puppet, it was the perfect time to test its power. PS: Fifth update!!!
