"Did you see it clearly?"
Xia Qianfan suddenly turned around and asked when Su Chen was still in a daze.
Su Chen calmed himself down and nodded, "I saw it. Senior's strength has reached the peak."
Su Chen was completely convinced. This wasn't even torture, it was completely toying with him.
This was the strength of an Inextinguishable Tribulation expert. It was truly terrifying.
Xia Qianfan said, "Very well, I allow you to spread what you saw and heard today. Tell the world that I, Xia Qianfan, have returned."
As soon as he finished speaking, a breeze blew by and Xia Qianfan's figure disappeared without a trace.
Only Su Chen was left in a mess in the wind.
What … what did he mean?
So, Xia Qianfan stopped him just to find someone to witness his heroic deeds and spread them around?
Damn, how could he act so righteously and self-righteously? How refreshing. He must be drunk.
Su Chen was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he thought of something and hurriedly formed a divine rune. He searched the bottom of the river and fished out the minced meat of the Devil Lizard.
A Lifeless Tribulation Demon Dweller should be of some value.
After collecting the minced meat, Su Chen found that the Devil Qi on the body of the Devil Lizard hadn't completely dissipated. Suddenly, a bold idea came to his mind.
Would he be able to absorb this demonic Qi?
Previously, Su Chen had also absorbed quite a number of demons. However, the demon in front of him was a Lifeless Tribulation demon. The energy it contained was too overbearing. If an ordinary person were to touch it, they would definitely die. Even a Reincarnation Realm cultivator wouldn't dare to touch it, let alone absorb it.
But this was a rare opportunity. Su Chen didn't want to miss it.
Let's take a risk and give it a try!
Su Chen immediately opened the Undying and Imperishable Diagram and began to absorb the Devil Qi of the Devil Lizard. He also swallowed some of its remaining soul.
"Huff …"
Su Chen's breathing immediately became rapid. His meridians swelled and his whole body was soaked in sweat.
As the Devil Qi entered his body, Su Chen felt an enormous pressure. This kind of pressure made his will almost collapse. Su Chen was completely relying on his instincts to support himself.
Fortunately, the Devil Lizard was already dead. Otherwise, Su Chen's actions would very likely endanger his life.
Although the risk was great, the benefits were also extremely shocking.
Su Chen could feel that the Undying and Imperishable Painting was operating at lightning speed. The acupoints on his body were constantly being lit up. The third Undying and Imperishable Painting was completely lit up in an instant!
An intense light blossomed from Su Chen's body.
The fourth Painting of Immortality and Indestructibility began to appear!
By the time Su Chen finished absorbing the Devil Lizard's Devil Qi, a third of the fourth Undying and Indestructible Painting had been lit up.
Every Undying and Imperishable Painting had a corresponding effect. The first was life recovery, the second was energy recovery, and the third was spirit strengthening. Su Chen roughly sensed the effect of the fourth Painting of Immortality and Indestructible Painting. It seemed to strengthen the bones.
The Undying and Imperishable Painting's operation would continuously inject a special energy into Su Chen's bones. Not only would it increase the hardness and toughness of his bones, but it also seemed to have some kind of enhancement effect that Su Chen couldn't sense.
Su Chen didn't think much about it and immediately began to read the Devil Lizard's soul memory.
This Devil Lizard was called Xi Zhe. He came from the Devil Space Mountain and was an elite general of the Devil Race. The reason he attacked Xia Qianfan was that Xia Qianfan had taken advantage of the Devil Lord's absence not long ago to launch a sneak attack on the Devil Space Mountain.
"Hiss …"
Su Chen was amazed. This Xia Qianfan was really a fierce person. He actually dared to launch a sneak attack on the Devil Space Mountain alone. This kind of thing, probably not many people in the entire Xuanyuan Continent could do.
A big shot from the Calamity Stage was really awesome.
Su Chen became more and more worried for Xia Ziyan. One had to know that Xia Qianfan's return to the Wuji Country was very likely to be detrimental to Xia Ziyan.
He couldn't delay any longer. He had to hurry and find Xia Ziyan.
After packing up the remains of the Devil Lizard, Su Chen moved Kong Lingxuan out of the Void Ring. After helping her adjust her internal energy, the three continued on their journey.
"Little Brother Chen, what just happened?"
Kong Lingxuan was still in a daze. She didn't understand what had just happened.
Su Chen explained a little, which scared Kong Lingxuan so much that her beautiful face turned pale.
"Calamity … Calamity Stage expert, an existence like Di Tianlong?" Kong Lingxuan swallowed her saliva. She didn't expect the fisherman to be such a terrifying expert.
"Little Brother Chen, I suddenly realized that as long as I follow you, there will always be all kinds of surprises. You seem to be born with a strange luck. You can encounter things that ordinary people can't in their lifetime." Kong Lingxuan said very seriously.
Su Chen blushed with shame. Speaking of which, there really was such a thing. Could it be related to his super high luck value?
The higher the luck value, the easier it was to trigger some small probability events. If his luck value was high enough, would the whole world revolve around him?
Alright, he was thinking too much.
Su Chen shook his head and continued to accelerate. Half a day later, he arrived at the Wuji Continent and went straight to the Martial Saint's Divine Capital.
The next morning, at sunrise, Su Chen finally arrived at the Martial Saint's Divine Capital.
After continuous high-intensity flight, Su Chen was a little tired. However, he didn't have time to rest. He immediately entered the Martial Saint's Divine Capital with Yan Chixia.
Kong Lingxuan was temporarily hidden in the Void Ring. After all, it wasn't suitable for the Demon Race to move around in the Wuji Nation's territory.
When he arrived at the Martial Saint's Divine Capital again, Su Chen found that this bustling imperial capital was much more lively than the last time he was here. The streets and alleys were decorated with lanterns and streamers, as if some kind of festival was about to arrive.
Su Chen asked around and found out that it was actually Xia Ziyan's birthday in three days!
As the Empress of the Wuji Nation, Xia Ziyan's first birthday after ascending the throne was bound to be grand. At this moment, representatives of various factions had already arrived at the Martial Saint's Divine Capital, preparing to present birthday gifts to the Empress in three days.
Birthday … Congratulatory gifts …
Su Chen's heart stirred. He judged that there was a high chance that Xia Rong would choose to give the Indestructible Calamity Spirit Beast Core to Xia Ziyan on her birthday.
If that was the case, then Su Chen should be able to make it.
But how was Su Chen going to meet Xia Ziyan?
After all, she was the Empress. Su Chen couldn't just barge in rashly, right? The guards of the imperial palace were very strict.
It seemed that he had to find Xia Susu first.
Su Chen asked around and soon found out the location of the residence where the eighth prince, Xia Nan, lived.
Soon, Su Chen arrived at Xia Nan Wang Ye's residence. Speaking of which, Su Chen had met Xia Nan once in the prison and even helped him. He should still recognize him.
Speaking of which, with his relationship with Xia Susu, how should he address Xia Nan after meeting him?
This was a difficult problem.
Forget it, let's go in and think about it.
"Please report that Su Chen requests to see Xia Nan Wang Ye," Su Chen said politely to the guards outside the residence.
"Go, go, go, who do you think you are? Wang Ye is someone you can meet whenever you want. Scram."
Su Chen was directly kicked out.
