Chapter 348: The Aura of a Great Empeor

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

A depth of 30,000 meters was crossed in an instant. Su Chen did not know how deep he had dived into the Emperors Pool, but he still had not reached the bottom.

At this moment, the lake water around him had completely disappeared, replaced by the surrounding dry stone walls. The temperature of the entire s.p.a.ce had already reached an extremely terrifying degree. If cultivators at the Quasi-Saint Realm came here, they would probably turn to ashes within fifteen minutes.

He went tens of thousands of feet deeper, only to see divine light shooting out from the depths below, its entire body emitting nine-colored radiance that illuminated the entire s.p.a.ce. When Su Chen saw these nine-colored lights, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes. He could clearly sense this was the aura of an ancient great emperor, though he didnt know which one had left this fluctuation behind.

Even after so many years had pa.s.sed, it made one suspect there seemed to be a living great emperor beneath the Emperors Pool, still refining his weapon.

After an unknown period of time, Su Chen arrived in a fiery red world. As far as he could see, the sky and ground were bright crimson. Endless divine light flowed below, the terrifying temperature filling the void and drowning the heaven and earth.

This was a world of fire, comparable to the Golden Crow Clans Solar True Fire. Beneath this sea of flames was an aura that made one tremble, rus.h.i.+ng out from the firmament and spreading in all directions. He was certain the true place where great emperors refined weapons was under this sea of fire.

But he could not descend any further. Even standing here made his skin crack. If not for having a divine body and the Supreme Bone, as well as tempering his body with the Black Blood Stones, just collapsing here would have reduced him to ashes.

I cant go any deeper. This should be enough, Su Chen muttered.

Soon after, Su Chen sat cross-legged atop the sea of flames, like a fire G.o.d descended. His clothes, hair, and skin were all wreathed in flames, his entire body scorched flawless.

His fingers flickered, and beams of divine light flew out from his storage ring, each one representing a treasure, the lowest being saint-level, some even containing rare heavenly treasures like immortal gold.

In the next moment, Su Chen took out another small jar. Golden radiance flowed within, like a revived true dragon, containing the aura of an ancient sage. This was Long Wus blood essence.

If he wanted to advance the Azure Dragon Sword, he would naturally use whatever materials were best. As a true dragon, Long Wus blood essence was not something that could be easily obtained in the outside world. Su Chen had also borrowed some. The true dragons blood he had was enough to completely transform the Azure Dragon Sword.

Boom!

Next, a powerful fluctuation spread out. A black sword over ten feet long appeared above the sea of fire, like an eternal blue sky crus.h.i.+ng the void.

When the Azure Dragon Sword is complete, it shall be the day I become a saint! Su Chens eyes blazed.

He had already come this far, there was no need to delay any longer. Otherwise, everyone would think they could step on him, like Qin Yuan of the Qin family!

Symbols flew out from Su Chens body, entering the Azure Dragon Sword. The pitch-black sword oscillated with terrifying waves that swept hundreds of miles. Under Su Chens control, the various divine lights floating in the air orderly fused with the Azure Dragon Sword.

At that moment, endless divine light came from the depths of the Emperors Pool.

Outside, w.a.n.g Yunzong and the others looked at the doorway with different expressions.

Sixth Elder, 1 heard Fellow Daoist Su Chen plans to refine a Dao weapon of his own this time. Is this true? an elder of the w.a.n.g family asked via voice transmission, glancing at Long Wu. He had wanted to ask her directly, but considering her strength and status held back, choosing to voice transmit instead. After all, even minor matters should be handled carefully when speaking of Su Chen in front of a saint king, to avoid offense unknowingly.

The Sixth Elder he spoke of was none other than w.a.n.g Yunzong.

A Dao weapon? w.a.n.g Yunzong chuckled strangely, then replied telepathically, What Fellow Daoist Su Chen wants to refine is no mere Dao weapon! After all, the Azure Dragon Sword in his hand is already a top-tier one. What he refines this time is a sacred weapon, an embryo of that.

1 Hearing sacred weapon, the surrounding w.a.n.g family elders revealed disbelief, but upon hearing embryo, they relaxed slightly. Still, what w.a.n.g Yunzong said shocked them greatly.

How old was Su Chen? Based on their information, he seemed to have not cultivated for long, much younger than their clans young master. Yet as a junior, he had already begun refining a sacred weapons embryo! What did this represent? It represented Su Chen was already preparing to become a saint!

I heard from the Ancestor yesterday that Fellow Daoist Su Chen seems to have reached the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm, the elder who had spoken said solemnly.

Yesterday, none of them, including w.a.n.g Yunzong, could discern Su Chens strength. This was not something Su Chen deliberately hid, but because both sides were at the same level, or rather, Su Chens strength was even more powerful, it was normal they couldnt tell. But it could not escape a saints eyes.

Refining a sacred weapons embryo at the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm w.a.n.g Yunzong took a deep breath, thinking of something terrifying as he muttered, Is Fellow Daoist Su Chen going to break through to become a saint after refining this weapon?

Although they did not want to believe it, the truth was laid bare before their eyes, forcing them to believe it. Su Chen was already at the peak stage of the Quasi-Saint Realm, only a step from the Saint Realm. Some might not achieve that in their entire lives, yet for Su Chen, it was only because he did not want to. As long as he was willing, he could pa.s.s the Saint Tribulation anytime.

Looks like Ill have to evacuate the nearby clansmen w.a.n.g Yunzong muttered to himself. The Saint Tribulation was no ordinary heavenly tribulation, able to cover tens of thousands of miles once it appeared. This range was extremely vast, and many cultivators would be drowned in the tribulation before they could react.

Time pa.s.sed. In the blink of an eye, half a year had slipped by. w.a.n.g Yunzong and the others, along with Long Wu, had been guarding the entrance of the Emperors Pool the entire time, never stepping away for a moment. They quietly awaited Su Chens return.

Its been half a year, why is there still no movement? an elder spoke, confusion in his tone. Logically, half a year was enough time to refine a weapon, even more than enough. Forget about a sacred weapon, even a Saint-King-level weapon should be done. Unless the heavenly materials Su Chen used were extraordinary and could not be transformed quickly.

Lets keep waiting. Half a year is just a snap of the fingers to us, w.a.n.g Yunzong calmly soothed. However, before he could finish speaking, the situation suddenly changed..
