Chapter 189 - 189: Ancient Mortal Emperor
“If I’m not wrong… The Dashang Empire wants to use me to sharpen you, this blade of theirs. However, it seems like Dashang is going to be disappointed!”
As he finished speaking.
Buzz…
Su Chen shook the Azure Dragon Sword in his hand and slashed down at Marquis Champion.
The white swordlight surged into the sky and burst out with a destructive aura. It was as if an azure dragon had descended from the nine heavens.
The world seemed to be completely cleaved apart by Su Chen’s sword, like a piece of cloth fluttering violently in the wind.
Wherever the Azure Dragon Sword passed, nothing could withstand it.
The mountains exploded under this power, and countless broken stones shot in all directions.
This was no longer the power that a weapon could unleash.
Instead, it was like a white city wall that spanned hundreds of miles and rumbled down from the sky, giving people a feeling of despair.
“We’re finished!”
The spectating prodigies closed their eyes in despair.
They didn’t think that Marquis Champion could block this strike!
Even with his Invincible Divine Body, he couldn’t do it!
“What ability is relying on weapons?” Marquis Champion roared.
As soon as he finished speaking, he hastily met the attack. The long spear in his hand shattered the void and transformed into a shadow, meeting the Azure Dragon Sword.
Boom!
The Azure Dragon Sword and the divine spear collided.
The moment they touched, the divine spear crumbled.
Immediately after, the Azure Dragon Sword turned into a white divine dragon, its body as huge as a mountain.
The dragon’s tail swept across, knocking Marquis Champion from the mountain peak into the belly of the mountain.
With a rumbling sound, a mountain that was thousands of meters tall was easily flattened.
The dust settled.
Everyone looked down and could only see a pile of mangled flesh and blood lying in the rubble.
If nothing unexpected happened, this was the last trace of Marquis Champion in this world.
“One move…”
Lie Yin and the Heavenly Heart Holy Son looked at each other and saw fear in each other’s eyes.
If they were the ones who went up, they would probably end up no better than Marquis Champion.
“Half a year ago, I heard that Marquis Champion was able to fight Su Chen for half a day without losing. Who would have thought that half a year later, Su Chen would be able to kill Marquis Champion with just one move…”
Someone sighed.
As he finished speaking, Su Chen had already collected all of Marquis Champion’s belongings.
There weren’t many things.
He only had a supreme-grade battle suit and a storage ring.
However, this was enough to make everyone envious.
They all knew how wealthy Marquis Champion was.
To be able to give each of them 50,000 supreme-grade spirit stones, it was clear how wealthy Marquis Champion was.
He probably had at least a few hundred thousand supreme-grade spirit stones.
“Hmm?”
However…
At this moment, Su Chen’s expression suddenly changed.
He flipped his palm and took out a black-red stone from Marquis Champion’s storage ring.
This stone was the same size as an ordinary spirit stone.
However, the spiritual energy contained in it was completely different.
“Black Blood Stone!”
Su Chen said in a deep voice.
His gaze fell.
Only to see Marquis Champion’s body returning to its human form at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, he had completely regained his original appearance.
“Uh…”
“What’s going on?”
“How did Marquis Champion come back to life?”
“Wasn’t he beaten into a pulp by Su Chen just now? How did he come back to life? What kind of method was this? Could it be the legendary limb regeneration?”
“Regrowing a limb requires at least Saint Realm cultivation. Moreover, Champion Marquis was beaten beyond recognition just now. It can’t be considered limb regeneration…”
“This should be Blood Revival!”
“Blood Revival? Wasn’t that something that only Great Emperor Realm experts could do?”
Seeing Marquis Champion stand up again, everyone present was dumbfounded.
They were only at the Nirvana Realm.
To regrow severed limbs required at least Saint Realm cultivation.
Blood Revival required Great Emperor Realm, and Marquis Champion had just passed the ninth Nirvana Tribulation half a year ago. By all appearances, he did not seem capable of such a heaven-defying technique.
Even if they didn’t believe it, Marquis Champion’s resurrection was an indisputable fact!
“Just now, Su Chen seemed to have mentioned something about a Black Blood Stone… Could the resurrection of Marquis Champion be related to the Black Blood Stone?”
Yin Lie of the Yin Yang Holy Land said in a low voice.
As the top prodigies of the various large factions, they had naturally heard of the Black Blood Stone.
The Black Blood Stone was a unique product of the World of Dark Creatures and was very rare in the world today.
But it still existed!
It was just that ordinary people could not see it.
“Refining one or two Black Blood Stones wouldn’t have this effect. Judging by the speed of Marquis Champion’s resurrection, I’m afraid he has already refined over ten thousand Black Blood Stones! Maybe more than that!”
The Heavenly Heart Holy Son said with a solemn expression.
Recently, he had only heard of dark creatures descending in the Dachu Empire.
However, in Dashang, there was no such news.
This raised the question. Where did Marquis Champion get the Black Blood Stones?
It would be understandable if he said he bought it.
However, the key point was…
In the current era, with dark creatures extinct, a single ordinary Black Blood Stone could be exchanged for 10,000 supreme-grade spirit stones!
Based on the 10,000 Black Blood Stones that Marquis Champion had refined, even Dashang would not be able to afford such wealth!
After all, Dashang needed to nurture countless elite troops and tens of thousands of experts.
Speaking of which…
Even if Dashang could afford it, they had saints and the Emperor above, Dukes and Princes below, how could they hand over something so precious to Marquis Champion for refining?
“Haha…”
Just as everyone was lost in thought, a cold laugh sounded from below.
“Su Chen, 1 admit that you’re strong! But I’m not the same as 1 was half a year ago. I’ve cultivated an undying body. Do you think you can kill me?”
A mocking smile appeared on Marquis Champion’s face.
As he finished speaking, he took a step forward and displayed a supreme divine power.
Boom!
His right fist suddenly smashed out, instantly shattering the mountain under Su Chen’s feet.
His blood and Qi were like a rainbow. With a loud roar, the surrounding mountains and rivers shook, his blood essence sweeping out for hundreds of meters like billowing smoke.
The ancient trees around shook and countless fallen leaves did not drop to the ground. Instead, they rose against the heavens.
Mortal Emperor Fist!
It was a heaven-level upper-rank divine power of the Dashang Empire.
Su Chen had witnessed the power of this fist technique more than once.
Of course, he knew it too!
Compared to half a year ago, the Mortal Emperor Fist that Marquis Champion used now was much more powerful.
At this moment, Marquis Champion was like an ancient emperor, crossing the river of history and arriving here.
“Resurrection is your final trump card? Then I want to see how many times you can use it!”
Su Chen looked at Marquis Champion, shook his head, and laughed.
As his voice fell, he waved the Azure Dragon Sword in his hand and swung it horizontally, clashing with Marquis Champion’s fist.
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion sounded.
The scene was no different than before. The moment the two sides came into contact, half of Marquis Champion’s body exploded into pieces.
Blood splattered through the air, dyeing the heavens crimson.
Marquis Champion was sent flying backward, his whole body mangled and bones exposed ghastly under the blazing sun.
However, he did not feel anything.
Like a maddened devil, he charged at Su Chen again..
