Chapter 97: Slaying Shu Zi’an, Absorbing True Body of Enlightenment

“Why is it in my hand? What do you think?”

Nie Chen smiled coldly.

Suddenly, he recalled a ridiculous rumor that had been circulating in the martial world. The rumor claimed that the Empress had killed Emperor Hong Hui in a fit of rage from thousands of miles away, all because of a newly recruited disciple.

Shu Zi’an’s heart felt like it had been torn apart instantly.

“Nonsense! You think you can deceive me? No matter what, you will definitely die today!”

Shu Zi’an was completely consumed by anger.

In an instant, a crimson blood mist surrounded his body, emitting a foul and eerie smell. The blood mist seemed to be filled with an aura of death.

The blood mist filled the sky, and even the sunlight seemed to be dimmed by it.

“This is… the Killing Dao!”

As the bloody aura spread, everyone in the stone cave, including the little dragon and Minister Cao, as well as the many cultivators, looked up at the sky in shock.

The True Body of Enlightenment could comprehend countless great paths.

Although it was extremely rare and had not appeared in thousands of years, there were people in ancient times who had possessed the True Body of Enlightenment.

However, the difficulty of comprehending the Killing Dao was too high.

Even in ancient times, those who had possessed the True Body of Enlightenment and were strong enough to comprehend it were rare.

And yet, Shu Zi’an had successfully comprehended it!

Not only did he possess the True Body of Enlightenment, but Shu Zi’an’s perception and strength were also terrifying.

If he combined it with the Killing Dao…

For a moment, all eyes were fixed on the sky, unable to conceal their shock.

They couldn’t imagine how strong Shu Zi’an’s abilities would be.

He would probably be invincible below the Transforming Sea Realm.

Even if a strong cultivator from the Transforming Sea Realm were to arrive, Shu Zi’an might still have a chance to fight back!

In mid-air, the bloody aura almost completely enveloped Shu Zi’an’s body.

At this moment, his killing intent had almost consumed his consciousness.

However, it did not eliminate his initial instinct.

The Killing Dao was all about killing!

And his target was Nie Chen.

“Roar!”

A thick, blood-red arm formed from the blood mist, covered in an aura of death and killing intent.

The arm was so powerful that it could crush countless sword blades and even shatter the Fire Phoenix.

The flames scattered, and the killing intent grew thicker, firmly locking onto Nie Chen.

The endless blood mist continued to gather and merge into the blood-red giant hand.

The hand seemed to be filled with an endless aura of death.

Anything that touched it would wither and die, and even space itself would be distorted.

The cultivators watched in horror, unable to help but retreat.

Such terrifying power was beyond their imagination.

If it weren’t for the cultivators from the Transforming Sea Realm, who could possibly defeat Shu Zi’an?

“Die!”

Shu Zi’an’s voice had become hoarse and trembling, filled with anger.

It was like a tidal wave of blood, capable of destroying everything.

The blood-red hand slapped down, covering Nie Chen completely.

“Crown Prince Shu Zi’an, is that all you’ve got?”

Nie Chen calmly raised his head, and in an instant, flames and light illuminated half the sky.

The three veins of the Ancient Sacred Body were fully opened!

The Three Emperors’ seal, mixed with thunder and lightning, burst forth with Nie Feng, releasing a terrifying power.

One was the Three Emperors’ hand, wrapped in thunder and lightning, slapping down.

The other was the Fire Phoenix, crying out and burning with fierce flames!

“Boom!”

The flames engulfed the sky, blocking the view, and the firelight collided with the blood mist.

Shu Zi’an’s eyes widened in shock, his arm trembling.

He realized that he couldn’t take a single step forward!

The gathering of countless Killign Dao was blocked with ease!

“Boom!”

The exploding flames continued to spread, and Shu Zi’an used all his strength, but his eyes were filled with blood, and his appearance was miserable.

However, no matter what he did, he was completely suppressed by the illusory seal, unable to move.

And at this moment, Nie Chen had already grasped the Nie Feng sword.

“Bang!”

The footprints of the energy waves scattered, and Nie Chen’s figure burst forth.

With just one sword strike, the blood mist was split open, revealing a huge gap.

“Damn it, how is this possible!”

Shu Zi’an, who was desperately resisting the illusory seal, was already unable to defend himself, his eyes wide with blood.

“My wife is not someone you can easily touch.”

Nie Chen’s cold voice had already reached him.

“Wife? What are you talking about…”

Shu Zi’an’s heart was filled with a loud noise, and an idea that he had been trying to ignore suddenly spread.

“Pfft.”

In the next moment, his abdomen was pierced by a sword.

A feeling of weakness spread throughout his body, and compared to the despair and pain of death, Shu Zi’an’s heart was even more icy and painful.

“Yes, the Empress is my wife. If you dare to think about my wife, killing you a thousand times wouldn’t be enough.”

Nie Chen smiled coldly.

“Impossible, how could the Empress possibly…”

Shu Zi’an tried his best to convince himself not to believe it.

However, all the rumors he had heard, the clues, and the Nie Feng sword…

Everything pointed to the fact that he had been trying to ignore.

The Empress had already given her heart to someone.

And that person was not him, not someone else, but Nie Chen in front of him.

The Three Smiles were just a joke, and the Empress’s smile was never for him.

“No!”

Shu Zi’an, who had once awakened the True Body of Enlightenment and risen to the Opening Profound Realm in two years, becoming the Crown Prince.

At this moment, his spiritual core suddenly collapsed.

The cracks spread, and it completely shattered, his spiritual core already broken into pieces.

When the Nie Feng sword was pulled out, his body and spiritual core dissolved and disappeared, returning to dust.

No one could have imagined that a generation of geniuses, even the entire Imperial Court, would regard the future hope of the genius as a miserable fall.

Falling from the sky, blood splattered everywhere, Shu Zi’an’s body crashed to the ground.

It had already become a cold corpse.

“The Crown Prince… dead?”

“Just like that, he was killed?”

“Crown Prince possessed the True Body of Enlightenment, how could this be?”

The surrounding people were shocked, and everyone looked at Nie Chen in the air, their hearts filled with a chilling sense of fear.

[Ding, the third vein of the Ancient Sacred Body has been absorbed, and the host can choose to absorb Shu Zi’an’s True Body of Enlightenment.]

“Absorb the True Body of Enlightenment.”

As soon as Nie Chen’s words fell, the mysterious aura that only Shu Zi’an could emit surrounded his body, slowly moving.

And compared to Shu Zi’an, that aura seemed even more mysterious and profound.

[True Body of Enlightenment absorption successful]

[Reward: one Dragon’s Breath Grass, one box of Dragon’s Mint, one Golden Scale Dragon Carp

Note: The Golden Scale Dragon Carp has the Dragon Clan’s ancestral bloodline, extremely precious to the Dragon Clan.]

Nie Chen looked up at the sky, the mysterious aura dancing around him.

After a moment, he lightly opened his eyes and took a deep breath.

“Today, no one can escape, I’ll let you all understand my path.”

Nie Chen’s mouth curled up with a smile, his fist crackling with energy.
