Su Chen is now at the eighth level of the Heavenly Soul and is stepping into the ninth level of the Heavenly Soul. He relies on the Dao traces of the three realms and his own understanding.

At this moment.

In the Great Xuan Dynasty, he watched the vicissitudes of time and the changes in personnel and things, and he had some vague insights, as if in the next moment, he would be able to move the heaven and earth, transform his celestial soul, and step into the Nine Transformations of the Celestial Soul.

therefore.

The Great Xuan Dynasty became the most important thing to him. There was no other matter and he would not tolerate any disturbance at all.

“The traces of the Three Realms are nowhere to be found. They have all been condensed into the body of Demon Ancestor Ksitigarbha.”

“With my 8th transformation of Heavenly Soul and 10th transformation of Heavenly Man, I was able to crush the two leaders of the Holy Land Organization. It’s not because I’m that strong.”

“Instead, all the truly powerful Second Realm Heavenly Monarchs were completely annihilated by that so-called Supreme during the battle tens of thousands of years ago.”

"now."

"The two second-level Heavenly Monarchs who stayed behind are nothing more than two watchdogs kept by the so-called Venerable."

Su Chen frowned slightly.

His Majesty, how powerful he is, he has no idea.

But he knows himself.

Now, he has reached the eighth level of the Heavenly Soul Transformation and seems to be invincible, crushing two Heavenly Sovereigns of the Holy Land Organization. But in fact, he is the only one who knows clearly.

Among these two Heavenly Sovereigns, none of them is a perfect Heavenly Sovereign of the second realm.

I really met the second-level Heavenly Monarch.

As long as the second level of immortality he controls is stronger, he will not be a match.

Purple Fire Lord, the first immortal path, is in charge of the way of formations. The second immortal path is based on the way of formations and is the path of evolution. The first immortal path of Great Demon Lord is the way of refining. The second immortal path is a different way, using the Soul Honoring Banner as the foundation and walking out of the Way of Ten Thousand Demons. He is considered a more powerful second-level Lord.

Their first paths were all auxiliary paths to immortality, not particularly powerful paths. This was the reason they were chosen by the so-called Supreme and were able to survive.

This is also the reason why Su Chen let them go.

"The first immortal path is the foundation, which determines the strength of the second immortal path. They are too weak. Even if they achieve perfection in the second realm, they can't be said to be very powerful."

"The promise of dividing the Dao Traces of the Three Realms and then leaving from the Holy Land Venerable was a complete lie and cannot withstand any scrutiny."

"We must enter the ninth level of the Heavenly Soul as soon as possible."

"in this way."

"Only then can we win the final competition with him!"

Su Chen's eyes were full of vicissitudes as he stood on top of the clouds in the Great Xuanhuang Capital. His previous fight with the Great Demon King was over quickly and did not cause much noise.

At best, Hua Manlou, a long-renowned restaurant in the imperial city, collapsed with the earthquake.

If the immortals with great magical powers are unwilling, as mortals, even a martial saint on earth will not be able to track them.

Even if you die, there won't be any memory left.

Next.

With the emergence of the Sixteen-Nation Alliance, which secretly attempted to instigate a rebellion against the Seventh Prince, Daxuan became increasingly turbulent.

In the Qiu Ming Palace.

The forty-two-year-old Emperor Ming stood by the window, rarely reviewing memorials. His deep eyes seemed to be able to see through thousands of miles, and he saw the behemoth composed of sixteen countries near the territory of Daxuan, which were sharpening their knives and wanted to dismember the Daxuan Dynasty.

"Seventh Brother, did you really meet Yu Wenzhi?"

Emperor Ming is asking.

The Qiu Ming Palace was empty, but a voice answered Emperor Ming's question.

"Yes."

"His Highness the Seventh Prince met Yu Wenzhi on the boat, but the strange thing is that they had time to silence him but didn't."

"There seems to be a young man missing from the pleasure boat. He should be a great master. Yu Wenzhi seems to know this person and was frightened."

The Great Emperor Xuanming has three guards under his command to suppress the four directions.

The Canglong Guards were formed during the reign of Emperor Qiu Ming. They were formed from civilian martial arts schools. They were equipped with all Xuanshui heavy armor and were able to encircle and hunt down masters.

The current number is a mystery, but it is definitely over 10,000.

Shadow Dragon Guard is a great intelligence agency that only serves Emperor Ming. They are professional undercover agents, gathering intelligence, and spreading rumors. When they were first established, they used rumors to destroy the three major factions in Jianghu, almost without bloodshed.

Although it is a latecomer, its rapid growth has left intelligence organizations such as Daning Heibingtai far behind.

In addition, there is the Dragon Killing Guard, which specializes in assassinating the dignitaries of enemy countries and the voices of disloyalty of Daxuan. It is the most mysterious department, no doubt about it.

now.

In secret, the one who responded to Emperor Ming was the captain of the Dragon Killer Guard. No one had ever known the identity of this captain. All they knew was that he had planned to kill the emperor of Cang State in one fell swoop, causing Cang State to completely disappear in the war.

"These people from the Sixteen Nations Alliance really have good tactics."

"Among all my princes, I chose the seventh one. Due to the agreement with the Blood-robed Martial Saint, I have no way to get rid of this rebellious son..."

"But it doesn't matter. There are sixteen kingdoms, right? We can just defeat them one by one."

"Kill the Dragon Guard!"

"Kill the dragon! Kill the dragon! We formed you to massacre the royal family of the neighboring country. Now that they are alert, let's do it."

Emperor Ming, give the order slowly.

secretly.

That figure kowtowed heavily with indescribable excitement.

Then, without saying a word, he left.

Everything is self-evident. Even the Sixteen-Nation Alliance probably couldn't have imagined that Emperor Ming had been coveting them for a long time and had been making arrangements many years ago.

The best proof is that the Killing Dragon Guard is even more mysterious than the Blue Dragon Guard and the Shadow Dragon Guard.

To know.

Even if the money and food resources spent by the first two guards combined were less than one-tenth of the money and food resources invested in killing the Dragon Guards. Now, it is finally time for them to step to the front and kill the Dragon Guards.

"hold on."

"Don't be anxious."

"It won't be long before the chaotic destiny will cross Daxuan and spread to the territories of the surrounding sixteen countries. Then you will be able to have enough in one go."

"When the time comes, you must help me kill the turbid immortals in this world."

Emperor Ming was looking at the Ksitigarbha demon above the imperial city, muttering to himself.

The Ksitigarbha demon, who was originally sleeping soundly, seemed to have heard Emperor Ming's words and gave a corresponding response to him.

Emperor Ming, as a mortal emperor, actually subdued the terrifying Ksitigarbha demon who was as perfect as an emperor of a first realm. If this happened in the outside world, it would definitely be a terrifying event that would cause the sky to collapse and the earth to split.

However, such a thing would only happen in this special Shenxu Dizang.

There was a breeze blowing on the desk in Qiu Ming Palace. It was a file about the investigation by Sima of the Imperial City Guard into the case of Hua Manlou being overturned and collapsed by an earth dragon.

There is a terrifying immortal hidden in the imperial city of Daxuan, and Emperor Ming has always known this.

"almost."

"Soon."

"You abominable fellows who manipulate the fate of mortals, I will make you pay the price."

"Grandpa, father, and master..."

Emperor Ming was whispering.

Although he is already middle-aged, from beginning to end, he is still the child emperor of that year.

……

……

The thirty-first year of Emperor Ming’s reign.

A major event happened in Daxuan. The city guard patrol camp rebelled and joined forces with a palace grandmaster. They took advantage of the absence of other grandmasters to assassinate Emperor Ming.

There was also an insider in the Imperial Medical Bureau who gave Emperor Ming a chronic poison that restricted his power.

A palace assassination was born.

Subsequently.

The Dark Dragon Guards once again emerged, took action in advance, uncovered the conspiracy, and beheaded Sima of the City Guard Patrol Battalion outside the Qiu Ming Palace.

A purge began.

The entire Great Xuan Imperial City was a scene of bloodshed. Countless dignitaries closed their doors and windows tightly, not daring to go out for fear of suffering an unexpected disaster.

The massacre lasted for three days and three nights.

The house search lasted for three days and three nights.

Then, the dignitaries who went out to attend court again discovered the Seventh Prince's mansion, which was blocked by the Dark Dragon Guards, and the Seventh Prince was placed under house arrest.

There were rumors that this palace coup was the result of the Seventh Prince's forbearance and accumulation of strength over many years.

pity.

Emperor Ming was a Grandmaster, but he was not. Even if the Seventh Prince had more wisdom and strategies, he could not make up for this gap. The Crown Prince's Mansion.

Upon hearing the good news, the princelings gathered here and had a carnival.

It is said that the Seventh Prince will definitely replace the Crown Prince and become the next ruler of Daxuan in the future. Now, having committed the crime of treason, what else can the Seventh Prince use to continue to gain a foothold in the imperial city?

"Actually, there's nothing to be happy about."

"My father is too thoughtful. Among the many princes, no one can see through him or understand him. What does it matter if he keeps his position as the crown prince?"

“Ten years go by and ten years pass by.”

"When it comes to martial arts training, I am not even as good as the Seventh Prince. I am not even sure if I can survive like him. When will I be able to survive until the day when my father abdicates the throne?"

The prince's eyes were clear and he could see through everything.

In Daxuan, the title of Crown Prince is the most useless, because with a Grandmaster Emperor above him, it is destined that only a Grandmaster can outlive Emperor Ming.

same year.

The Sixteen-Nation Alliance fell apart.

It was not because of anything else, but because of the killing of the Dragon Guards. The imperial power of seven or eight small countries, led by Daye and Dacang, was overthrown overnight.

Either there was an internal fight among the royal family, with a prince leading his troops into the palace and launching a coup, or there were refugees from natural disasters and man-made calamities, and suddenly a top master emerged, and inexplicably sets of Xuanshui heavy armor grew out of the fields, rushing into the imperial city and slaughtering everything.

The Sixteen-Nation Alliance is now basically in name only.

"How vicious!"

"This Daxuan's background is so terrifying."

"They were able to manipulate coups in seven or eight countries in just a dozen days, and all of them succeeded without exception..."

In an attic, Yu Wenzhi had a grim look on his face.

As the person in charge of the operation, he now only has representatives from five dynasties under his command. The rest have either been overthrown from the imperial power and fled back to their dynasties, or the monarchs of their countries were afraid of Emperor Ming and recalled them.

For a while.

But only a year or two passed.

The mighty Sixteen-Nation Alliance was reduced to a few insignificant groups of people.

"But there is still hope."
"Xu Xueyi, I can't wait any longer."

"He is finally going to attack the Seventh Prince and perform the Soul-Swapping Technique."

Yu Wenzhi wanted to boost morale.

can.

next moment.

Outside the attic, there was a noisy sound. Someone looked outside and his expression changed instantly, and an unspeakable fear emerged.

"Blue Dragon Guard!"

"Xuanshui Heavy Armor!"

"Out there are all the Canglong Guards of the Great Xuanming Emperor!"

On this day, the Canglong Guard, who had been hiding in the dark for twenty years, finally showed his fangs to the world.

Ten thousand Canglong Guards entered the imperial city.

At a glance.

Boundless.

They surrounded the entire stronghold of the Sixteen-Nation Alliance and started a massacre.

"Ten thousand Canglong Guards!"

"Grandmaster, you must all suffer in vengeance!"

"Emperor Ming!"

"You are so cruel!"

Yu Wenzhi cried out in despair.

In the attic.

Under the siege of 10,000 Canglong Guards, no one could escape.

This move shocked the entire Sixteen Kingdoms!

But such a move made the entire Sixteen Kingdoms silent. The Three Guards of Daxuan were so terrifying that they knew everything about their country, which made them tremble in fear.

same year.

The thirty-first year of Emperor Ming’s reign.

A heavy snow fell.

Just as all dynasties were celebrating the upcoming New Year.

Emperor Xuanming started a war.

The terrifying front of the army was aimed at the Sixteen Kingdoms! At the same time, it was launched against the sixteen dynasties, including the most neighboring Great Ning Kingdom.

The residence of the seventh prince.

Su Chen was like entering a deserted place. Here he saw the Seventh Prince with a cold expression and Xu Xueyi who was walking towards him crazily.

This Blood-Clothed Martial Saint from two hundred years ago looked older than before.

Tiansui, he eats too much.

His body was so nourished that it was unable to carry his full soul. The body and soul were not matched, which resulted in his soul being able to leave his body at any time.

That is, the physical body dies suddenly.

then.

He couldn't wait to change into a fresh body.

"hehe."

"The day has finally come."

"Soul exchange..."

Xu Xueyi, speaking in a hoarse voice, began to make arrangements for the Seventh Prince.

The two men sat naked in the wooden barrel, with rare and precious fruits poured into it. The most important thing was that there was a piece of celestial marrow that was much larger than the others, placed between the two of them.

With the cryptic and difficult to understand words, the soul exchange began.

Su Chen watched from the side.

This is a bit like the unique soul-extracting technique of the ghost cultivators, but in this world it has been transformed into a martial arts secret technique. Although it is a bit crude, in theory it is still possible to replace souls.

a long time.

Xu Xueyi died suddenly.

Simultaneously.

The Seventh Prince opened his eyes, but what was strange was that a hint of surprise clearly flashed across his eyes.

"My body has not been replaced?"

boom!
next moment.

The terrifying blood and energy, all of Xu Xueyi's memories, together with his martial arts memories, rushed into the Seventh Prince's mind. At this moment, he integrated everything of Xu Xueyi.

It is just like the Blood-Clothed Martial Saint left behind a legacy of memory.

This is Emperor Ming’s plan.

The soul-swapping technique required both parties to have full bodies. He concealed this fact and deceived Xu Xueyi, so the effect was completely different.

The soul-changing technique was real, but it failed, and all the good fortune was integrated into the body of the seventh prince.

This is much better than eating Tiansui.

"Xu Xueyi is dying."

"Emperor Ming also wanted a martial saint to protect the country, so he thought of this method."

"It won't be long."

"The Seventh Prince, who has inherited the memory of the Blood-robed Martial Saint, will return to the realm of the Martial Saint on earth at a terrifying speed."

This is Emperor Ming’s plan.

now.

The Seventh Prince had a complicated expression, and only then did he understand his father's ambitions.

Also today.

Su Chen looked up at the sky and saw the chaotic fate above the Daxuan Imperial City, which was spreading towards the neighboring sixteen countries as the Daxuan army expanded.

Among them, Daning State is also included. (End of this chapter)
