Nine Realms Sword Emperor

Chapter 1963: Chapter 1966: Leaving the Storm

Each ascension of the Immortal Body is almost as difficult as the difficulty faced by common martial artists and demon gods when challenging the Heavenly Human Catastrophe.

It’s important to note that Chu Fengmian’s current ascension of the Immortal Body came after countless preparations and accumulation.

The Gold Concealing Essence, Six-Winged Centipede King, Divine Elephant Profound Power Pill, and countless other body refinement sacred medicines had all been integrated into the Immortal Body beforehand, enhancing its power.

With such accumulation, Chu Fengmian acquired a Chaos Witch God Pill, which finally managed to truly elevate the Immortal Body by one level.

After spending such a great price, he merely obtained this little benefit?

This was something Chu Fengmian found hard to accept.

"What is going on? Even if the Immortal Body didn’t ascend, the medicinal power of the Chaos Witch God Pill should have enhanced the Immortal Body more than this!"

Chu Fengmian frowned, suddenly looking within his body at the twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty crystals that had formed into a little person.

The biggest change for Chu Fengmian with the ascension of the Immortal Body was it added a little person formed of twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty immortal crystals.

"Could it be because of this? Has the power of the Chaos Witch God Pill been devoured by this little person?"

As Chu Fengmian thought, he injected a surge of spiritual power into the little person, secretly activating its power.

Suddenly, the little person shattered as Chu Fengmian’s power flowed in, and in the next moment, the twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty immortal crystals suddenly enveloped Chu Fengmian.

Seeing this scene, Chu Fengmian’s eyes flickered as he stepped forward again to face the oncoming Wind Blades.

But this time, those Wind Blades couldn’t leave even the slightest trace on Chu Fengmian as they struck his body.

These Wind Blades, which even a martial artist demon god of half a Heavenly Human Realm would need to expend spiritual power to resist, could not harm Chu Fengmian’s physical body.

All of this makes clear that Chu Fengmian wasn’t even actively using spiritual power to resist—just the mere power of his physical body could entirely disregard the attack of these Wind Blades.

If Chu Fengmian activated spiritual power to resist, combined with his physical might, he could likely withstand attacks from a half Heavenly Human Realm, or even a full Heavenly Human Realm.

In the moment those twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty immortal crystals merged with Chu Fengmian’s body, the tenacity of his physical body increased exponentially.

"This is the effect of the transformation after the ascension of the Immortal Body!"

Chu Fengmian’s expression brightened. However, before he could activate again, he felt an emptiness in his power.

This fusion lasted merely three breaths of time before the twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty immortal crystals returned to Chu Fengmian’s body, transforming back into the form of the little person.

This fusion seems to consume a tremendous amount of power at every moment; with Chu Fengmian’s current strength, it can only be maintained for a duration of three breaths.

After three breaths, it will dissolve.

However, even a three-breath fusion is a significant gain for Chu Fengmian.

The moment those twelve thousand nine hundred and sixty immortal crystals from the little person merged into Chu Fengmian’s body, he could feel his physical strength increasing by tenfold.

Even the attacks from a Heavenly Human Realm could be endured.

Though it’s only three breaths of time, employing this in a crucial moment could yield unexpected results.

Furthermore, this is just the effect of the initial ascent of the Immortal Body. If the Immortal Body were to further enhance or ascend again, its power would be even more fearsome.

If this state could be maintained at all times, without using any spiritual power, just the physical body could withstand Heavenly Human Realm challengers.

No wonder the Immortal Body is reputed as the most resilient body in the world; after achieving Great Success, it can withstand true Heavenly Human Realm opponents with physical power alone.

Even though Chu Fengmian can only maintain the state for around three breaths currently, it is enough to dissolve many dangers he faces.

"This venture with An Jue has unexpectedly resulted in such gains."

Chu Fengmian was delightedly surprised.

Following An Jue here, he initially just intended to see what scheme An Jue was plotting, but he didn’t expect to discover this palace.

The seventeen half-immortal artifact pill furnaces within the palace alone are a great opportunity. After the Divine Tree swallowed them, Chu Fengmian’s power increased by about fifty percent.

With the transformation of the Immortal Body.

Although Chu Fengmian’s realm hasn’t changed, if evaluating true strength, it has improved significantly compared to before.

Facing Heavenly Human Realm adversaries, he no longer lacks any countermeasures.

Moreover, besides the Chaos Witch God Pill assisting the ascent of Chu Fengmian’s Immortal Body, he also obtained a large number of Human Dao Pills—one thousand to be precise, which is another great opportunity.

"There are other opportunities in the center of this storm, but now I mustn’t rush deeper recklessly."

Chu Fengmian exited the palace, looking toward the deeper direction of the storm.

This storm purportedly harbors the ruins of an ancient sect; besides this palace, there must be other opportunities.

Yet, as Chu Fengmian gazed toward the storm center, he felt uneasy; the storm center is fraught with danger.

Chu Fengmian doesn’t understand the storm’s situation, and venturing in now would be perilous.

Besides, there’s no more time to dawdle in the palace.

Though the Shattered Islands are vast, with tens of thousands of islands, hundreds of Sacrificial Pavilion disciples have come searching for the Sea Princess this time.

In a few days of searching, these hundreds will surely have found the Sea Princess; Chu Fengmian must locate the Sea Princess before them.

"Go!"

Chu Fengmian’s figure flickered, swiftly flying out from the storm; his tunneling light was swift to the extreme, and the Wind Blades needed no blocking as they battered against Chu Fengmian without causing any harm.

His tunneling light left the storm and vanished into the air, heading toward an island in the Shattered Islands.

The island Chu Fengmian was heading for, called "Hula Island," is a discreet island within the Shattered Islands.

However, according to the Jade Talisman provided by the Sea Princess, she is currently on this Hula Island.
