Chapter 175: Heavenly Boat! The Frenzy of Major Powers! Yao Chi Empress is About to Collapse!
“Titan Giant Ape!?”
Ying Ming Kong’s pupils constricted, her gaze serious. The Mist Forest was already fraught with danger. She had barely escaped with her life when she entered, and leaving was proving equally difficult.
The moment she stored the Divine Phoenix’s corpse, the pressure from its aura vanished, alerting all the powerful demonic beasts in the vicinity.
For example, the colossal, pitch-black gorilla before her, towering a thousand Zhang high, like a mountain.
This black gorilla resembled King Kong, a descendant of the Titan Giant Ape, possessing immense strength and astonishing defense. It had already reached the peak of the seventh tier.
Comparable to a peak Martial King or a peak Spirit Severance cultivator.
Its battle prowess was particularly terrifying. Ordinary experts of the same level were no match for it!
Boom!
The Titan Giant Ape’s fist, hundreds of Zhang in length, smashed down like a mountain. Even with all her might, Ying Ming Kong couldn’t budge an inch. She was sent flying with a punch, blood spewing from her mouth.
“Roar! Roar! Roar!”
The Titan Giant Ape beat its chest with both hands, generating thunderous vibrations. It roared towards the sky, as if declaring its mighty and formidable strength!
With a single stride, it covered several thousand Zhang, crushing towering trees like blades of grass.
Ying Ming Kong had just gotten to her feet, her blood surging, severely injured. But the Titan Giant Ape extended a finger.
This finger was dozens of Zhang thick, like a pillar holding up the sky. With a gentle poke, it sent Ying Ming Kong tumbling back to the ground.
But it didn’t seem to have any intention of killing her.
It appeared to be toying with her.
“Damned beast!!”
Ying Ming Kong cursed inwardly, but she was helpless. This Titan Giant Ape was higher in cultivation and stronger in battle prowess than her. With its impenetrable hide, she couldn’t break through its defenses.
She was completely suppressed.
Boom!
Ying Ming Kong was pinned down again by a finger, creating a massive crater in the ground!
This time…
She couldn’t get up.
She was too exhausted.
Her entire body felt like it was broken.
“Roar!”
Seeing Ying Ming Kong motionless, the Titan Giant Ape became enraged. It bared its teeth, its mountain-sized hand raised, about to crush her to death.
“If I die, I die!”
Ying Ming Kong sighed inwardly. Before coming to the Mist Forest, she had already prepared herself for this possibility!
Hum!
At that moment, a mysterious wave swept over them. The Titan Giant Ape froze, and Zhou Chen, his arm around the soft waist of Heart Demon King Yu Wu Xin, appeared beside Ying Ming Kong.
Yu Wu Xin used her Heart Demon Illusion Technique to temporarily trap the Titan Giant Ape.
Zhou Chen swiftly scooped up Ying Ming Kong, holding both women in his arms. He then used his Concealing One’s Tracks ability and vanished from the spot.
“Roar!”
The Titan Giant Ape regained its senses, realizing it had been tricked. It flew into a rage, wreaking havoc on its surroundings, venting its fury.
Especially since the little cutie it had finally found to play with had escaped!
So angry!
……
“It’s you!?”
Ying Ming Kong’s eyes widened in disbelief.
She had come to the Mist Forest a month ago and was unaware that Zhou Chen had already advanced to the Divine Ability Realm and taken Yao Chi Empress of the Purple Mansion Holy Land as his master.
“Who else would it be?”
Zhou Chen gave a faint smile, his hand that was holding Ying Ming Kong giving her soft buttocks a firm squeeze.
“After all, we were husband and wife for a day, a hundred days of grace. I couldn’t just watch you get played to death by that beast, could I?”
“Thank you!”
Ying Ming Kong expressed her gratitude sincerely.
If it weren’t for Zhou Chen, she might have really been played to death by that beast today.
“If anyone’s going to play you to death, it’s going to be me!”
Zhou Chen grinned, his wandering hand parting Ying Ming Kong’s perky buttocks, playing with the soft and supple flesh within.
“You’re a scoundrel too!”
Ying Ming Kong rolled her beautiful eyes at Zhou Chen, not really minding his actions. After all, he had already thoroughly explored her body before.
“You’ve advanced to the Divine Ability Realm?”
Sensing the aura emanating from Zhou Chen, Ying Ming Kong was even more astonished. How long had it been?
Zhou Chen had already advanced to the Divine Ability Realm?
Wasn’t this guy only twenty-five?
“Huh? You’re the Heart Demon King?”
Before Zhou Chen could answer, Ying Ming Kong looked at the woman beside him with even greater shock, her face full of disbelief.
She had heard of the Heart Demon King’s reputation.
She couldn’t believe that this veteran Martial King was also letting Zhou Chen hold her, seemingly having been ‘played’ by him too.
Could it be that the Heart Demon King also wanted to awaken her Emperor bloodline?
But wouldn’t the Emperor bloodline be of little use to the Heart Demon King?
Why would she go to such lengths?
Yu Wu Xin glanced at Ying Ming Kong, simply nodding in acknowledgement without saying a word.
The next moment…
Zhou Chen, carrying both women, arrived at a valley. Lush grass carpeted the ground, flowers bloomed in profusion, and a perpetual spring reigned, creating a scene like a paradise beyond the world.
The fragrance of flowers mingled with the scent of earth filled Ying Ming Kong’s senses, but she was still full of questions.
“Why are you in the Mist Forest?”
“To save you, of course!”
Zhou Chen chuckled, parting Ying Ming Kong’s soft buttocks.
“Touched?”
“I wouldn’t dare be touched!”
Ying Ming Kong rolled her eyes at Zhou Chen. She didn’t believe him for a second.
“In that case, tell me, how do you plan to repay me for saving your life?”
Zhou Chen gazed into Ying Ming Kong’s bright phoenix eyes, kneading her soft buttocks. He could sense the World Tree seed within her storage ring.
“You can have your way with me!”
Ying Ming Kong closed her eyes and tilted her head back, offering herself to him.
Zhou Chen: “…”
How straightforward!
Although this wasn’t Zhou Chen’s primary goal in saving her…
Zhou Chen always preferred to…
Get down to business first!
“You’re quite injured. Let me set your bones and heal your wounds first!”
As he spoke, Ying Ming Kong, under the influence of Zhou Chen’s Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand’s incredible speed, had already returned to a natural state, completely bare before him.
(|).
“So beautiful!”
Zhou Chen’s eyes lit up, his gaze burning as he looked upon Ying Ming Kong’s flawlessly perfect body.
Heart Demon King Yu Wu Xin curled her lip.
“What’s so interesting about that? Aren’t they all the same?”
When you’ve had something since you were young, you naturally don’t appreciate it.
“There are three thousand Great Daos, all are Daos. But can each Dao be the same?”
Zhou Chen shook his head, his words filled with profound meaning.
“For example, many people cultivate the Water Dao, but the Water Dao cultivated by each person, while generally similar, is not exactly the same. Each has its own subtleties!”
Zhou Chen loved to learn.
He loved to learn English.
He loved to read newspapers.
The more he read, the broader his horizons, the richer his knowledge.
Whether a newspaper was good or not, whether it had depth, whether the news inside was fresh or outdated, Zhou Chen could tell at a glance.
“Have you seen enough?”
Ying Ming Kong opened her eyes and saw that Zhou Chen was still not moving, speechless.
“Reading a newspaper requires patience, careful observation, and contemplation. One must carefully study the intricacies within to truly appreciate its depth and breadth!”
Zhou Chen shook his head in disappointment. It was clear that neither Ying Ming Kong nor the Heart Demon King understood the true essence of a newspaper.
Zhou Chen opened the newspaper and began to read and study it carefully.
Newspaper-reading young master—Zhou Chen!
After thoroughly reading and studying the newspaper, Zhou Chen used his Thunderclap Wish-Fulfilling Hand to set Ying Ming Kong’s bones and heal her wounds.
“Eh, you have a fever!”
Zhou Chen raised an eyebrow, touching Ying Ming Kong’s forehead.
“You’re the one with a fever!”
Ying Ming Kong rolled her eyes at him.
“Look, your face is so hot and red, you must have a high fever!”
After a thorough examination, Zhou Chen concluded,
“You need injections and an IV drip to recover quickly!”
With Zhou Chen’s efforts, Ying Ming Kong’s injuries healed, and her fever subsided.
Saving a life is better than building a seven-tier pagoda.
Zhou Chen felt a sense of satisfaction, like a living sage.
“Now you can tell me why you’re here, right?”
Leaning against Zhou Chen, Ying Ming Kong’s jade face was flushed, her breath fragrant. She suspected that Zhou Chen knew about the Divine Phoenix’s corpse and had come for it.
Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence that he had saved her.
Although she had dealt with everyone who knew about it, there might be others who were aware.
“I’m here to search for a primary material for artifact refinement, a seed of a divine tree. I sensed it was on you!”
Zhou Chen said, his hand controlling (human.).
“Divine tree seed?”
Ying Ming Kong’s heart stirred. She immediately thought of the seed beneath the Divine Phoenix’s corpse. So it was a divine tree seed, no wonder it was placed next to the Divine Phoenix egg.
“Are you talking about this?”
Ying Ming Kong took out the World Tree seed. She didn’t recognize it and couldn’t sense anything special about it, only that it must be extraordinary.
“That’s it!”
Zhou Chen took the World Tree seed and wiped it on Ying Ming Kong’s jade-like breasts, smiling.
“Consider this payment for saving you!”
“You’re really not holding back!”
Although she didn’t know what kind of divine tree seed it was, anything worthy of the title “divine tree” was incredibly precious. Even a seed was worth a fortune.
“You’re all mine, what’s one divine tree seed?”
Zhou Chen chuckled mischievously. “Besides, what I’ve given you is far more than just one seed. If not trillions, then at least hundreds of billions!”
“You rogue!”
“Tell you what, I’m planning to use this divine tree seed as the main material to refine a Red Dust Heavenly Boat. I’ll reserve a spot for you inside. You’re welcome to come and live there!”
Zhou Chen had already formed this idea when he learned about the World Tree seed.
He planned to refine a boat-shaped supreme treasure to serve as his base of operations. He would call it the Red Dust Heavenly Boat, and it would be his home in the future.
Legend had it that the World Tree was incredibly vast, each leaf a world unto itself.
By using the World Tree seed as the main material to refine the Red Dust Heavenly Boat, not only would it allow the boat to contain worlds within, it would also grant it boundless potential, with the possibility of infinite growth.
“Red Dust Heavenly Boat?” Ying Ming Kong curled her lip. The two of them knew each other inside and out, she was well aware of his character. She couldn’t help but retort,
“Why not call it the Supreme Bliss Heavenly Boat?”
Reserving a spot for her?
She wasn’t interested.
Wasn’t it just to make her his exclusive collection, convenient for him to play with her anytime, anywhere?
She wouldn’t go!
“Supreme Bliss Heavenly Boat is too vulgar. I’m a man who aims to become an immortal and a god amidst the vastness of the mortal world.”
“Really? Then, future immortal and god, you’ve got the divine tree seed and had your fun, aren’t you leaving?”
Ying Ming Kong pushed Zhou Chen. She was eager to go back and cultivate!
As for Zhou Chen?
Although Zhou Chen was exceptionally talented, she had no intention of following him, becoming one of his playthings.
“You’re so heartless!”
Zhou Chen gave Ying Ming Kong’s wounds a final, firm squeeze, flipping her over.
“Not enough!”
“One more time!”
Ying Ming Kong: “…”
Three days turned into another three days.
A week later…
Zhou Chen finally left, fully satisfied.
Ying Ming Kong glared at him.
“You big jerk!”
She felt a burning sensation.
“Are you sure you don’t want to come with me? Don’t regret it later!”
Looking at Ying Ming Kong, her eyes red and swollen, seemingly infected with white pus oozing out, Zhou Chen asked one last time.
“I’ll be a dog if I regret it!”
Ying Ming Kong declared resolutely, putting on her clothes and turning to leave without a backward glance.
Zhou Chen’s talent was undeniable, he had a high chance of becoming an Emperor in the future.
But she had the Divine Phoenix’s corpse, she believed she could too.
In that case…
She wouldn’t submit to him just because they had slept together for over a month.
“Looks like I’m not the protagonist after all!”
Zhou Chen stroked his chin, looking at the Heart Demon King beside him.
Wasn’t the protagonist supposed to exude an aura that made followers flock to him, with beauties throwing themselves at his feet?
The Heart Demon King gave Zhou Chen a charming eye roll. Taking advantage of the situation and then playing innocent.
However, once Ying Ming Kong returned and learned of Zhou Chen’s true status, she would probably regret her decision today.
“Come here!”
Zhou Chen beckoned.
Yu Wu Xin knew that Zhou Chen wanted to have his way with her again, but she obediently went to him.
As expected…
Zhou Chen reached out and gave her soft buttocks a firm squeeze, parting them and pulling Yu Wu Xin into his embrace. He then carried her back to Qian Du.
Every day, I savor the taste of plums.
I climb mountains, traversing streams.
The shade remains as lush as when I first arrived.
The startled orioles sing four or five times.
……
Great Eagle Dynasty.
“To think that the Great Qian Dynasty has produced a true dragon, they’re truly fortunate!”
“A Dao Tree ten thousand Zhang high, unheard of, unseen before, it’s truly terrifying!”
“When I cultivated nine Great Supernatural Abilities and advanced to the Law Manifestation Realm, my Dao Tree wasn’t even ten thousand Zhang. When I first achieved the Divine Ability Realm, it was a mere two thousand one hundred Zhang!”
“Mine was only one thousand eight hundred Zhang when I reached the Divine Ability Realm!”
“It can only be said that he’s worthy of being a reincarnated immortal god. No wonder women with Emperor bloodlines can awaken their bloodlines simply by receiving his grace!”
“Fortunately, we have no conflict with Champion Marquis. In fact, we’ve even established a sort of Guan Zhong and Bao Shuya friendship by asking him to help us awaken our Emperor bloodlines!”
“I heard that the Great Emperor-level experts from the three Great Holy Lands in our Eastern Wilderness all made an appearance, and in the end, Yao Chi Empress of the Purple Mansion Holy Land successfully took Champion Marquis as her disciple!”
“They say that dozens of Martial Emperors gathered at the time, how terrifying. There hasn’t been such a gathering in the Eastern Wilderness for tens of thousands of years!”
……
The experts of the Great Eagle Dynasty discussed amongst themselves with excitement and awe. Although they were all at the Law Manifestation Realm or even the Martial King Realm…
They were still worlds apart from Martial Emperors, let alone Great Emperors.
None of them had ever seen a Great Emperor.
Ying Ming Kong hurriedly returned, intending to seclude herself and refine the Divine Phoenix’s corpse. But she overheard everyone discussing Zhou Chen.
Something about a Dao Tree ten thousand Zhang high, a reincarnated immortal god, dozens of Martial Emperors, Great Emperors from the three Great Holy Lands…
“What are you talking about?”
Ying Ming Kong was filled with confusion.
“You don’t even know about this?”
A peak Law Manifestation Realm expert said,
“Champion Marquis Zhou Chen of the Great Qian Dynasty advanced to the Divine Ability Realm just a few days ago. His Dao Tree reached ten thousand Zhang, causing heavenly phenomena that attracted dozens of Martial Emperors and Great Emperor-level experts from the three Great Holy Lands!”
“A Great Emperor declared: Zhou Chen is destined to become an immortal and a god, and is most likely the reincarnation of an incredibly powerful immortal god.”
“The Great Emperor-level experts from the three Great Holy Lands were vying to guide and protect Zhou Chen, and in the end, he became the disciple of Yao Chi Empress!”
“Ming Kong, aren’t you close to Zhou Chen? This news has already spread like wildfire throughout hundreds of surrounding dynasties and is rapidly spreading across the Eastern Wilderness!”
“In less than two months, this news will reach every corner of the Eastern Wilderness, and Zhou Chen’s name will resound throughout the land, shaking the world!”
“He’s actually that powerful?”
Ying Ming Kong was dumbfounded.
She had initially thought that Zhou Chen had the potential to become an Emperor, but now she realized that he wasn’t just Emperor material, he was immortal god material.
Even a Great Emperor had personally declared that Zhou Chen was destined to become an immortal god.
How terrifying was that?
Even Great Emperors wouldn’t dare claim they could become gods.
“Reincarnated immortal god… ten thousand Zhang Dao Tree…”
Ying Ming Kong felt both shock and regret. If she had known, she would have agreed to follow Zhou Chen and cling to his thigh.
After all, she had already been played by him until she was a mere puff pastry.
Once was playing.
Countless times was also playing.
“I’ll be a dog if I regret it…”
Thinking of this, Ying Ming Kong felt like she had truly been a fool.
“I heard that the Great Qian Dynasty is preparing to hold a celebratory banquet for Zhou Chen. Since you’re so close to him, it’s a good opportunity to build a connection.”
A Martial King ancestor came to Ying Ming Kong’s side, his voice filled with envy.
“If Zhou Chen becomes an Emperor, a Great Emperor, or even an immortal god in the future, having his support would be better than you cultivating in seclusion for millions of years!”
Why was it so important to have a powerful master?
Not just for protection, but also for their guidance.
A single word from an expert could save you years of wasted effort.
“I understand!”
Ying Ming Kong’s emotions were a whirlwind. She hadn’t expected to go from casually leaving Zhou Chen to having to grovel at his feet.
She wanted to shout: I’m not going!
But thinking of Zhou Chen’s terrifying potential, even if he didn’t become an immortal god, just becoming a Great Emperor was enough for her to curry favor.
In the end…
She decided to go.
She wanted to become stronger, to go further on the path of martial arts.
As for Great Emperor-level experts, she couldn’t even meet them, let alone curry favor. Immortal gods were mere legends.
But now, there was a future immortal god right in front of her.
She had to seize this opportunity!
Zhou Chen: It’s truly tempting!
……
Qian Du.
Dust Sword Peak.
Zhou Chen wasn’t opposed to the Great Qian Dynasty holding a celebratory banquet for him. Besides, he needed a large amount of high-grade materials to refine the Red Dust Heavenly Boat.
He had access to the materials in the treasuries of the Great Qian imperial family, the Unbounded Sword Sect, the Blood Family, and the Dong Fang Family, but it was still far from enough.
This banquet was an opportunity.
Therefore…
The Great Qian Dynasty spread the word: Zhou Chen was going to refine a treasure and needed a large amount of high-grade artifact refinement materials!
As this news spread…
The prices of artifact refinement materials skyrocketed.
The region where the Great Qian Dynasty was located was called the Purple Firmament Domain.
It was named after Purple Firmament Great Emperor, who had achieved godhood in the past.
The Purple Firmament Domain was vast, encompassing thousands of dynasties and five Emperor-level factions, including the Purple Firmament Palace.
Upon receiving the news, these factions all searched their inventories for high-grade artifact refinement materials, intending to present them as congratulatory gifts.
And many factions felt it wasn’t enough, actively gathering more materials.
Countless beauties, especially those with Emperor bloodlines, were even more excited, planning to use this banquet as an opportunity to showcase their two best assets before Zhou Chen.
Even if Zhou Chen wanted to see their flaws and shortcomings (|), they would unreservedly display them, emphasizing their honesty.
They would hold nothing back!
Zhou Chen was still unaware of the frenzy outside, of the tens of thousands of demons, at the very least, who were gearing up, ready to devour him, the Tang Monk meat.
He was still living a fulfilling and leisurely life on Dust Sword Peak.
“Beautiful Master, you’re so beautiful!”
Looking at Huangfu Yue Yao (|), who had advanced to the Law Manifestation Realm after awakening her Emperor bloodline, Zhou Chen’s eyes shone brightly as he lowered his head and gave her a deep kiss.
“Mmm… you rebellious disciple… don’t kiss…”
Huangfu Yue Yao tightly hugged Zhou Chen’s head, utterly embarrassed. She hurriedly said, “There… no… ”
“Beautiful Master, I miss you so much!”
Zhou Chen was unmoved. He lifted his head and gave Huangfu Yue Yao a smile before burying his head back down.
He was truly fond of this beautiful master.
Parting (|).
Empress Master: “…”
A strand of Yao Chi Empress’s divine consciousness felt like it was about to collapse.
This rebellious disciple who betrayed his master and ancestors…
Too terrifying!
