Chapter 201

In this life, he didn't know how it would go.

After thinking it over, Xu Chen said, "Is there anything else?" Zhao Qingyun said, "On Dalu, some unknown powerhouse compiled a Gold Ranking, which has spread to every major nation. The Gold Ranking covers combat strength, cultivation realm, alchemy, artifact forging, and every other aspect of power.

Our Nine Heavens have made the list too, and have even been singled out as a target of challenge." After saying that, Zhao Qingyun took out a scroll and handed it to Xu Chen... Xu Chen took a look and found that the scroll was indeed covered in dense rankings.

Old-generation combat power rankings, new-generation beauty rankings — everything was there.

Even the many beauties of Dalu were recorded on it one by one.

The names of the Female Emperor, Shangguan Luoyun, Bu Fengshuang, Di Hanzhi, and a hundred others were all described within.

In fact, nearly ninety percent of those who made the Dalu beauty ranking were female protagonists.

The remainder were the wives of various Martial Emperors, whom ordinary people could not approach.

Xu Chen swept his eyes over the ranking list, and on the Dalu Young Supreme Alchemist ranking—

He, prominently, sat at first place.

The introduction read: seventeen years old, Ninth Grade Perfection Alchemist, a single thought forms a pill.

When the pill formed, it drew eight Purple Heaven Lightning Tribulations and one Nine Heaven Thunder Dragon Tribulation, breaking the alchemy record of Dalu.

Even on the ranking of the strongest alchemists across all of Dalu, he still placed over sixtieth.

He tucked the scroll away: "We shouldn't reveal too much of our own information; on the contrary, we should learn as much about the other side as possible."

Zhao Qingyun nodded: "Yes!"

After saying that, Xu Chen exited the Nine Heavens Space.

He looked up out the window and found that the weather seemed to be gradually darkening.

A few raindrops, accompanied by a pitter-patter, fell swiftly.

A wisp of cold air, accompanied by a mighty wind, slowly swept in.

At this moment, Xu Chen also sensed wave after wave of killing intent.

Xu Chen raised his head, his eyes narrowing slightly, and let out a cold laugh.

Those undying old fossils from the Immortal Empire — are they finally going to make their move?

PS: Five updates!!! Ten thousand.

He also knew who it was, but paid no attention.

And now, if the other side wanted to come die, then naturally he wouldn't mind.

After thinking this, Xu Chen saw that before the Gongdian where he lived, three phantoms had silently appeared.

Yes, phantoms — not human forms.

Because the cultivation method these three practiced was the Phantom Stealth Technique, of Heaven-tier low grade.

This technique allowed one to conceal one's form and move like a shadow.

When closing in on an enemy, one could deliver a one-strike kill.

The favorite of assassins — and also the favorite of these three great powers of the Immortal Empire.

In his past life at Bian Sai, Xu Chen had crossed hands with these three — Magic Qi battling phantoms.

In the end, it ended with Xu Chen's defeat; after all, the three of them coordinated far too well.

"Since you've come, then show yourselves."

Xu Chen said lightly.

These three had no particularly important plot in his past life at Bian Sai.

In other words, tonight they could be killed.

"Tsk tsk, worthy of a Ninth Grade Perfection Alchemist — Divine Sense is extremely strong."

Hearing that, the three immediately revealed their forms, a glint of mockery flashing through their eyes as they spoke.

Xu Chen clasped his hands behind his back: "You're causing trouble inside the Imperial Palace of the Tianzun Dynasty. If I kill you, I imagine even the Empire wouldn't dare say anything."

One of the three coldly laughed: "You think you can kill us? I don't think you're even worthy of killing us."

Xu Chen smiled faintly: "Not worthy? Then why did the three of you come?"

Hearing that, the smiles on the three men's faces instantly froze.

Their eyes narrowed as they said: "We didn't come here to listen to your nonsense. To avoid accidents, strike fast."

After saying that, the three once again concealed their forms, transforming into phantoms and charging straight at Xu Chen.

Those phantoms, accompanied by the dark night, seemed to vanish completely.

Xu Chen only saw shadow after shadow surging continuously, while a fierce aura pressed toward him.

But Xu Chen remained composed; he didn't even have the thought of using Space Movement.

In the blink of an eye, the three arrived within one meter of Xu Chen.

The three men grinned ferociously: "Seeing the three of us at Ninth Grade and not dodging — what gall!"

As they spoke, the three suddenly struck out, aiming to lock onto Xu Chen's throat.

This Xu Chen was done for now!

At this moment, the three were laughing wildly inside.

"Buzz!"

However, when their hands were still ten inches from Xu Chen, their right hands could not move no matter what.

They dumbfoundedly discovered that, between them and Xu Chen, a barrier had appeared at some unknown moment.

That barrier firmly separated them from Xu Chen.

The three swept a glance, then jolted awake: "Array barrier — not good, retreat now!"

After saying that, the three once again activated their technique, wanting to transform into phantoms and flee.

"Think you can leave?"

At this moment, a female voice appeared.

The three men's souls nearly fled their bodies; it was Bu Fengshuang.

Immediately after, they saw in horror that a Ninth Grade Array had already taken shape.

A massive golden array barrier enveloped them entirely.

In an instant, countless weapons of Spiritual Qi, Poison Qi, Flame, ice, and magma all manifested within the array.

"This, this seems to be an Array within an Array; it appears to have condensed over a dozen Attack Arrays."

"The mastery of this Array within an Array far surpasses Gui Zhen's Heavenly Gui Great Array."

"Damn it, what exactly is Bu Fengshuang's background?"

The three men were utterly terrified; how could there be someone so terrifying at array formation in this world?

Bu Fengshuang revealed her form at this moment and said coldly, "Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams, Five Elements Mutual Generation, kill!"

The next second, those countless Ninth Grade attacks fell upon these three Nine-grade Experts.

For a time, the three men screamed continuously, writhing in agony.

Xu Chen saw that beside Bu Fengshuang were Yi Bingrou, Yin Suyun, and others.

Even the Empress had appeared at some unknown time, standing here with a face full of killing intent.

These three dogs dared to harm her Xu Chen; damn it.

Clearly, the heroines had sensed the killing intent from the day, which was why they appeared tonight.

At this moment, the three men roared, "If you dare kill us, our Emperor will not spare you!" Xu Chen said calmly, "We merely killed a few rebels. The night is so dark; we did not know you were from the Immortal Empire." Upon hearing this, the three men's pupils shrank slightly.

This Xu Chen was not only ruthless but had even prepared his excuse.

By then, even if they died, they would be the ones in the wrong.

They gritted their teeth and said, "Spare us; I am willing to provide you with intelligence on the Immortal Empire."

Xu Chen chuckled, "No need; I think the Soul Searching Technique is better. Fengshuang, kill them."

"Ah!"

As the words fell, Bu Fengshuang activated the various killing moves within the array.

In the end, these three men were pierced through their bodies by thousands of Spiritual Qi strands; their Divine Souls were annihilated, and they collapsed.

When the corpses hit the ground, they were covered in blood and blood holes from head to toe, with not a single part intact.

Xu Chen wasted no words; after snatching their Storage Rings, he began to perform the Soul Searching Technique on the three men.

This search indeed yielded some special information.

"The Immortal Empire is preparing to launch a million-strong army to launch a surprise attack on the Tianzun Dynasty."
