Chapter 151: Chapter 95: Passing You a Sword

BOOM!

The coffin lid opened.

Three Refined Corpses flew out.

At this moment, they were as black as ink, shrouded in Yin Qi, impervious to blades and spears, and immune to fire and water. They faintly possessed the power of a Grandmaster.

"Rise!"

Su Chen brought out the Corpse Refining Order and controlled the ancient corpses.

Qi and blood merged.

The Ten Extremes Immortal Technique, Armors Like Mountains, was cast upon one of the Refined Corpses.

BOOM!

It swelled in the wind, absorbing the endless Yin Qi from the Burial Coffin. It transformed into a sky-filling gale of yin, like a grim Ghostly Realm sweeping across the heavens of the Imperial City.

And this Refined Corpse now stood as a terrifying Ghost General within that Ghostly Realm, a Heaven-Reaching behemoth nine hundred zhang tall.

Its Sword Intent solidified, forming a massive blade in its hand.

"Armors Like Mountains?"

"This Corpse Refining? It’s Sub-Innate!"

The mountain-like demon could no longer laugh. He watched as the Peak Corpse Refining became a Sub-Innate armored puppet, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

"Ten Extremes Immortal Techniques!"

"You told me he was only First-Grade Cultivation?! This is a High Tier Qi Cultivation Immortal, do you understand?"

The mountain-like demon’s face twisted with ferocity. He looked at the scroll-holding Zhou People beside him, furious to the extreme.

"Let me explain."

"This is impossible. He’s First-Grade Cultivation, not on the Heaven-Reaching Immortal Path. There must be something wrong..."

He tried to argue.

CRUNCH!

The mountain-like demon swallowed him in one gulp, chewed him to pieces with a series of crunches, and gulped him down.

"Let’s each take a step back."

"I will kill my quota of one hundred thousand people to restore the honor of Demon Mountain, and then I will leave."

"How about it?"

This Sub-Innate Great Demon Fiend, extremely wary of the Ten Extremes Immortal Techniques, negotiated with Su Chen in a cold tone.

In response, there was only a single slash.

BOOM!

The Sub-Innate armored puppet brought its blade down in a horizontal slash.

"Not good."

Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back.

"You’re courting death!"

"Do you really think I’m made of clay?"

The mountain-like demon roared, its enormous body transforming into a giant mountain burning with black flames, and it slammed viciously into the armored puppet.

"Commander Shan will be victorious!"

At this moment, the one hundred thousand Demon Fiends all stopped their rampage. They fanatically watched the clash, wanting to see the figure in the ink-black robes torn to shreds.

However, an unbelievable scene occurred.

BOOM!

The blade fell.

The flames were extinguished!

The mountain shattered!

"No!"

"This is the Burial Coffin..."

The mountain-like demon let out a wretched scream. Its entire body was being eroded by the churning Yin Qi, making it writhe as if submerged in acid.

JIE JIE JIE.

’Let’s see if I don’t just eat you up.’

The Burial Coffin’s blood-red eye opened. With a malevolent laugh, it tore out the mountain-like demon’s Soul Spirit and devoured it completely.

The scene fell silent.

A Sub-Innate Great Demon Fiend had fallen.

So easily.

After a brief, deathly silence, an unprecedented cry of panic erupted inside and outside the Imperial City.

BOOM!

"Commander Shan!"

"He’s fallen!"

"He actually fell!"

The one hundred thousand Demon Fiends were terrified beyond belief. They stared in horror at the ink-black robed figure and fled like mad, casting aside their helmets and armor.

"There’s an oath."

"This person is a High Tier Qi Cultivation Immortal. He violated the oath. A Mountain Master will surely descend. Don’t flee, what are you afraid of..."

"AHH!"

Even the Zhou People mixed in among them couldn’t possibly placate the army and organize an orderly retreat.

Many Zhou People who tried to block the way instead let out wretched screams as they were bitten to pieces by the Demon Fiends and swallowed whole.

’It’s over.’

Su Chen left, taking the Burial Coffin with him.

Armors Like Mountains!

The power of this Ten Extremes Immortal Technique had only shown the tip of the iceberg.

Its true peak power should be when it’s used to enhance an Innate Corpse Refining, allowing it to contend directly with a Peak Ancient Immortal...

Or even stronger!

At this moment, Su Chen noticed something strange about the Burial Coffin.

’It seems...’

’this treasure has a spirit.’

’It exists to devour souls.’

’It can produce endless Yin Qi to nourish corpses and raise their Corpse Refining Level.’

’With the Burial Coffin, if I dig up a Grandmaster’s corpse, I might even be able to break past the Sub-Innate Limit. Combined with Armors Like Mountains, it would become an Innate Card...’

The Imperial City had finally survived this calamity.

Of the one hundred thousand Demon Fiends who cast aside their armor and fled, more than half were left behind in the Imperial City for good. Many Zhou People were also captured and thrown into the Celestial Prison.

The name of the Black Lotus was once again being spread throughout the world.

In the Third Year of Xuanlong, he had swept through Heaven-Ascension Tower, becoming famous in a single battle and establishing himself as an Absolute First Grade.

Now, seven years later, he wielded a Ten Extremes Skill and had become a High Tier Qi Cultivation Immortal.

For a time, the entire world was talking about the Black Lotus, whose fame was now nearly on par with the Wind Snow Sword Immortal.

The Heavenly Secret Pavilion dubbed the Wind Snow Sword Immortal and the Black Lotus Saint—one a Human Sword Immortal, the other a Muddy World Technique Immortal—the Unparalleled Dual Immortals of the current era.

Then, they began preparing the world’s number one list.

The Immortal List!

However, none of this had anything to do with Su Chen.

’Unparalleled Dual Immortals?’

’What dual Immortals? Aren’t they both just me?’

「In the small courtyard.」

Su Chen skillfully dug into the earth, burying the Demon Fiends and the Burial Coffin to nourish the flowers and plants, raising the soil level considerably.

The snow was still falling.

But the clamor and the stench of blood were gone.

「In the Imperial Hospital.」

The Medical Officers who had been hiding in the cellar sensed that the chaos was over and crawled out one by one.

"Oh, right."

"Xu Ge didn’t hide. With his Hundred Leaks Body and no cultivation, he’s probably become food for the Demon Fiends by now."

One Medical Officer, feeling a sense of pity, hurried to the small courtyard, intending to collect some of Su Chen’s remains to erect a tombstone for him.

"You’re not dead?"

The Medical Officers were stunned.

At that moment, Su Chen was on his rocking chair, sipping tea.

"It seems your luck is pretty good."

"The Sub-Innate Great Demon Fiend fell, and those Demon Fiends were scared off by the Muddy World Immortal. They didn’t have time to eat you. You’re really lucky..."

Many of the Medical Officers remarked with emotion as they looked at Su Chen.

When speaking of the Black Lotus Saint, even though he was a former rebel leader, the tones of these Medical Officers were filled with reverence.

They had no idea that at this very moment, this Muddy World Immortal was right before their eyes.

In response to this, Su Chen pointed to the door and said,

"Remember to close the door on your way out."

This thoroughly angered the Medical Officers.

"What’s there to be smug about, you lucky bastard?"

After that, the head of the hospital also paid a visit. He didn’t stay long, just offered a few words of encouragement and told Xu Ge to get along with the other Medical Officers.

Then, looking somewhat excited, he hurried off and disappeared from sight.

「In the small courtyard.」

Su Chen sniffed the lingering scent of blood in the air.

He frowned slightly.

’Did they capture a live Demon Fiend specimen last night? Are they preparing to investigate the secret of the Demon Fiends’ Life Stealing?’

In the Human World, there were only the Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Methods for extending one’s life.

Deep within the Imperial Hospital, there was a small Yin Vein.

An Ancient Coffin had once emerged from it.

Unfortunately, the Three Methods of Life Extension all carried a risk of failure.

The owner of this Ancient Coffin had not successfully survived until the current world. He died, leaving behind only a corpse and the various Secret Techniques and secrets within.

The secret life-span experiments that the Imperial Hospital tinkered with had also begun because of this Ancient Coffin.

Su Chen didn’t care about any of this.

He only cared about how far the conflict between Zhou and Liang had progressed, and whether that great leader of the New Dynasty had been born.

Another night fell.

All was silent.

Snow fell.

The wind ceased.

「The Imperial Palace.」

The Profound Clothes Guard’s Palace Headquarters was stationed next to the old Martial Arts Bureau’s main hall. Su Chen merged with heaven and earth, and no one noticed him as he walked all the way there.

The Profound Clothes Guard, much like the Jinyi Guard of later generations, had eyes and ears all over the world, thanks to the indulgence of the Purple-robed Thousand Years, Ye Xuan.

Their intelligence-gathering capabilities were second to none.

Su Chen flipped through one intelligence report after another.

"Tenth Year of Xuanlong, first snow. Black Abyss Headquarters destroyed!"

"Remnants of the Black Abyss are fractured and scattered. The Cao Gang has retaken control of the Canal and will return to the capital in the third month."

"Suspected sighting of Long Xuanjun in the Demon Monster Mountain Range. Profound Clothes Guard undercover agents pursued him into a misty valley and were never seen again!"

"Third Year of Xuanlong, the first Immortal to break free, the Yaksha Ghost, appeared in the Demon Mountain and became the Ninth Mountain Lord..."

The information was scattered and uninteresting.

The great worldly leader Su Chen was waiting for had still not appeared.

Life is long.

In the silent, snowy night, Su Chen walked across the surface of the lake and eventually arrived at the Floating Island Hall, where he looked at the fake Cyan Sparrow.

She was dancing.

Dancing without end.

Her figure was graceful as she danced alone in the vast, empty hall, beneath the bright moon.

Perhaps, she, too, had discovered it.

Cyan Sparrow was dead.

And as for her, she was just a fake.

"Who’s there?"

She fell to the ground and looked outside the hall. Her previously calm Qi and blood once again grew pale and weak under the assault of the wind and snow.

The Tree Whiskers stirred.

Su Chen stepped into the hall, taking on the appearance of the Black Lotus.

He walked into the hall.

Gazing at this face of Cyan Sparrow, he was lost in a daze for a moment.

"Lord Black Lotus."

she exclaimed in shock.

’As expected.’

’With the destruction of the Black Abyss Headquarters, she has gradually recovered the memories of Earth One. She’s realized she isn’t Cyan Sparrow.’

’Perhaps, she still believes she is Cyan Sparrow.’

"Cyan Sparrow."

"From now on."

"Cultivate the sword with me."

With that, Sword Intent surged in Su Chen’s palm, forming a Sword Seed that he injected into the space between Lady Shui’s eyebrows.

This sword technique was called Burial Star.

Originally, it was a gift for Cyan Sparrow for when she reached First Grade.

’She died.’

’I’ll just pretend the one before me is her.’
