Chapter 150: Chapter 95: Teaching You One Sword

"You... are speaking to me?"

This Sub-Innate Great Demon Fiend was as black as ink. Its body was like a slab of rock, wreathed in roiling black flames. It stood vast and imposing as a mountain, its presence utterly overwhelming.

It glanced from side to side, seemingly bewildered as to how this weak human—a mere First Grade—dared to challenge it so brazenly.

Sub-Innate!

Under the oath, the Celestial Alliance would not interfere.

That made it the strongest.

"Stand down."

"And you may live."

Su Chen stated.

’The struggle between Zhou and Liang, this chaotic age, is a flesh and blood grinding disc devouring countless lives to produce the great ruler of a New Dynasty.’

’That is acceptable.’

’But Demon Fiends running rampant in the Human World—that is not!’

’Ten years.’

’I will ensure the New Dynasty is born.’

’And restore peace to the world.’

"Heh heh."

The mountain-like Demon Fiend let out a cold sneer, but it was not without intelligence. It cautiously glanced at a human figure beside it.

This figure was also stunned by the sheer audacity of this First Grade cultivator. He looked at Su Chen’s face and began rapidly flipping through a secret dossier.

"Found him."

"The Black Lotus Saint?"

"He really is just a minor First Grade."

"But... how is he a Saint from the Black Abyss! In the Third Year of Xuanlong, he swept through Heaven-Ascension Tower, annihilated the Peak Sin Dragon, and was suspected of being an Absolute First Grade..."

This man, one of the Zhou People, relayed the detailed intelligence to the mountain-like Demon Fiend.

At this, the Sub-Innate Great Demon Fiend was completely at ease.

’In just seven short years,’

’How much stronger could he possibly have gotten?’

’At most, he’s probably reached the level of a Second or Third Realm Grandmaster.’

’It’s even possible he’s still stuck at First Grade.’

’In this world, the only one who could make it wary was that peerless Wind Snow Sword Immortal.’

’Aside from him, all the other Human Race cultivators of this era were like crumbling earth and shattered tiles in its eyes—utterly insignificant.’

"Come on."

"Kill me."

"Hahaha!"

"Don’t tell me you think you’re the Wind Snow Sword Immortal."

It was laughing.

A contemptuous laugh.

It even beckoned to Su Chen with its finger, a clear gesture of provocation.

This, too, was a restriction of the oath.

To kill someone in the Imperial Capital, even a Sub-Innate Demon Fiend such as itself needed a proper reason.

This was a rule set by the Mountain Master.

It was a sliver of face saved for the terrifying human entities dwelling within the Imperial Capital.

But that was all.

"Alright."

"A strange request, but I’ll grant it."

Su Chen, in his guise as Black Lotus, clasped his hands behind his back and smiled as well.

However, his words only earned him an even wilder peal of laughter from the Sub-Innate Great Demon Fiend.

The other Demon Fiends,

Along with the man from Zhou, were also laughing.

They were mocking Black Lotus for overestimating his own strength.

「Far away.」

「Heaven-Ascension Tower.」

The Purple-robed Thousand Years, Ye Xuan, was speaking with a Grandmaster from Great Yu, hoping to persuade the deep reserves of Great Yu to take action.

Unfortunately, he had gained nothing.

"Your Majesty has spoken."

"Lord of a Thousand Years, you deployed a Third Realm Grandmaster and a hundred thousand armored soldiers. You can’t blame Demon Mountain for running rampant now..."

"The oath is the rule. Violate it, and you pay the price."

"Please, be patient."

"Tonight will eventually pass. It is only a few worthless commoners who will die, after all."

"Of course,"

"It would be even better if you could persuade the peerless Sword Immortal to act."

"He is very young."

"He isn’t troubled by a limited lifespan."

"Before the Immortal Arrival, he is powerful enough to dominate the world."

The gates of Heaven-Ascension Tower closed.

Ye Xuan was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

Upon his person, the countless grievances of the Liang People swirled, raging and roaring. But unfortunately, they could only protect him alone; they were useless in this situation.

"Lord of a Thousand Years,"

"This battle... can Black Lotus win?"

"He dared to fight, so perhaps he has some tricks up his sleeve..."

Chen Xuan asked, serving him cautiously while watching the inky-black figure in the distance, the one who was laughing and talking with the terrifying, mountain-sized Demon Fiend before the Palace Gate.

"Impossible."

"That is a Sub-Innate."

"A true Sub-Innate."

"Not one of those old-era Sub-Innates who burned their life force with every move, but a true Sub-Innate of this current era..."

Ye Xuan explained.

Though both were called Sub-Innate, they were two entirely different things.

"Unless..."

Ye Xuan stopped walking, his voice laced with hesitation.

"Unless what?"

Chen Xuan asked.

"Unless this First Grade Black Lotus has walked the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Path in addition to his Mortal Cultivation. But even then, the chances are slim."

"To become a High Tier Qi Cultivation Immortal capable of slaying a Sub-Innate in just seven years... in all the world, I only know of one person who could do that!"

"And his name... is Jie!"

Ye Xuan let out a self-deprecating laugh.

’Being an Emperor isn’t easy.’

’Even as the Purple-robed Thousand Years, despite exhausting all my efforts, I find it impossible to restore the nation’s power to even one percent of what it was in Jie’s time.’

In the next instant,

Ye Xuan’s expression changed.

His eyes shot toward the area outside the Imperial Palace.

"This aura is..."

He was utterly horrified.

At that moment, he wasn’t the only one who was horrified. Behind him, the gates of Heaven-Ascension Tower burst open, and figures from Great Yu rushed out, crying out in disbelief.

"That’s one of the Ten Extremes Immortal Techniques!"

"Armors Like Mountains!"

"How is this possible? He’s mastered one of the Ten Extremes Immortal Techniques! Isn’t he First Grade? How does he suddenly have the Spiritual Qi to use an Immortal Skill? He’s a Qi Cultivation Immortal...!"

The Grandmasters of Great Yu stared in astonishment.

BOOM!

The earth shook and the mountains trembled.

Before the Palace Gate,

Su Chen stood firm.

He had not drawn his sword.

’Even my weakest technique, the Wind Snow Sword, would expose my identity as the Wind Snow Sword Immortal. A slightly weaker one, Sword Overlapping Waves, wouldn’t be able to slay a Sub-Innate Demon Monster.’

’In that case,’

’I’ll just let Black Lotus become a Qi Cultivation Immortal.’

"Come, Coffin!"

Su Chen roared.

In an instant,

On a street near the Imperial Palace, in the courtyard of a shop that had been abandoned for years, the ground began to tremble violently and crack apart.

From a sealed and buried chamber beneath, a Black Coffin flew out. It did so unwillingly, but it still came obediently.

The Burial Coffin could easily devour even Grandmasters. Even those in the Innate Realm had to be somewhat wary of it. But it didn’t dare defy Su Chen in the slightest.

’That guy’s life force has surged tenfold. He’s gotten stronger again.’

’My eyeball hurts so much!’

’Who pissed him off again, making me suffer too? Just watch, I’ll devour it...!’

The Burial Coffin’s blood-red eye was nearly seared blind, but it still flew obediently to Su Chen’s feet.
