The Immortal Emperor Returns Chapter 370 - A Blessing in Disguise!

Chapter 370 A Blessing in Disguise!

The volcano erupted and magma flowed. There was no day or night in the land where the Subterranean Devils Clan was sealed. The sky was always misty, giving off an extrely oppressive feeling.

Chu Xun was buried under rubble. When he ca back to his senses, he didn’t know how long had passed. He was clear-headed again and knew well about the current situation of his body, which was so fragile that it could be shattered by the slightest touch. Moreover, the Poison of Fire had eroded all of his Spiritual Body. He didn’t know when he would beco demonized again.

“Am I really going to die here?” he wondered to himself.

He was unwilling to die there. During the 3,000 years when he was in the other world, he had gone through countless hardships. He was really unwilling to die in this small sealed land.

He couldn’t die there. His parents, Jing Hong, Little Wu, and countless people that cared about him were waiting for him to return.

He clenched his teeth and practiced the Hong ng Scripture. He began to repair his broken body. The injury he suffered this ti was so serious that cracks covered his Spiritual Body, which was about to break apart. Moreover, the Poison of Fire was still continuously eroding him.

After a long while, Chu Xun smiled bitterly. He was afraid that he was really going to die there this ti. His recovery speed was too slow and the Poison of Fire had already invaded his brain. His mind was often in a trance and he was always on the verge of being demonized. If he wanted to recover, he had to first get rid of the Poison of Fire in his body first, which was the so-called foul aura.

Chu Xun still had a clear mory of the previous battle. He had just beco demonized and was not in a frenetic state yet.

That strange-shaped man should be from the Subterranean Devils Clan since he could speak human language, which proved that he had been in contact with human beings. His identity, thus, could be confird.

When that strange-shaped man yelled at him and asked him so questions, his words were organized and reasonable, which showed that his mind was not in a chaotic and violent state. Chu Xun wondered how they managed to control their minds. If he could find out the secret, he still had hope for survival.

Unfortunately, he had not thought of this when he beca demonized, and it was too late for him to regret it now.

He gritted his teeth, his face grim. A violent killing desire was trying to control his mind. He bit the tip of his tongue, trying to use the pain to keep himself clear-headed. If he beca demonized again, not even immortals would be able to save him.

Gradually, his eyes turned crimson. He was too weak to resist the erosion of the foul aura.

“Damn it!” Chu Xun growled in a low voice. He could no longer hold on under the invasion of the foul aura.

Gradually, Chu Xun’s eyes turned completely scarlet. His mind was filled with killing intent and brutality.

“Crash!”

Suddenly, a slight chain sound made him freeze for a mont.

It was the Firmant Chain.

The next mont, the Firmant Chain shone resplendently and beca incomparably dazzling, making Chu Xun’s entire Spiritual Body shine with a golden luster. At the mont, he looked like he was made from gold.

“Crash!”

The Firmant Chain trembled, emitting rays of golden light. The Poison of Fire that was rushing to Chu Xun’s heart and brain was drawn back and was completely absorbed and refined by the chain.

After the Poison of Fire was refined, it beca a good dicine to refine one’s soul and spirit. The Firmant Chain trembled slightly, and so golden powder floated out to nourish Chu Xun’s injured Spiritual Body.

After the Poison of Fire was absorbed by the Firmant Chain, Chu Xun regained consciousness completely. He was overjoyed; he didn’t expect the Firmant Chain to save him again.

However, the Poison of Fire was everywhere in the air, invading his Spiritual Body at every mont.

The Firmant Chain kept flashing with golden light as if it were enraged, absorbing and refining all the Poison of Fire that entered Chu Xun’s Spiritual Body.

As for the elents of soul and spirit that had been refined, so of them were absorbed by the Firmant Chain, while the rest was absorbed by Chu Xun.

The cracks on Chu Xun’s Spiritual Body were being healed rapidly.

Chu Xun was surprised. He imdiately practiced the Hong ng Scripture and absorbed all of the Poison of Fire from his surroundings into his body.

In the past, the Firmant Chain had rejected the elents, but now, it rejected none and refined and absorbed as much as there was.

Chu Xun also benefited from it. Although the elents he absorbed were less than one-tenth of those of the Firmant Chain, he was satisfied with it.

Before long, all the cracks on Chu Xun’s Spiritual Body disappeared, and his body beca more solid.

He was overjoyed. It should be noted that refining one’s soul was the most difficult thing. There were so people who had beco saints physically, but their souls were still very fragile and would be broken by ntal energy attacks.

“Boom!”

The rocks exploded, and Chu Xun rushed up.

He was in no hurry to leave. Instead, he began to set up a formation.

It was the Five Ghosts Transportation Formation.

He didn’t expect it to be useful. All the Poison of Fire within several miles was drawn there, and Chu Xun absorbed it into his body, waiting for the Firmant Chain to refine it and share it with him.

In just a short ti, Chu Xun’s soul was greatly strengthened. Once a person’s divine sense reached a certain level, he could cause damage to others with his will and exert his cultivations at will.

There were nine levels of divine senses, and Chu Xun’s was only at level one before and was not strong. It could only be used for searching and battling with spiritual power.

If his divine sense were to enter the second level, he would be able to form magic signets and cast spells with a single movent of his divine sense and didn’t have to do it with his hands, so it was not that troubleso now.

The Poison of Fire within several miles was absorbed by Chu Xun. He gulped down the poison eagerly and greedily.

Chu Xun was very greedy as he wanted his divine sense to break through to Level 2 in one go.

One day.

Two days.

Five days.

...

Chu Xun didn’t open his eyes until the 10th day. The aura around his body seed to be very strong.

He looked at a huge stone not far away. Suddenly, a giant finger towering into the sky appeared and smashed the huge stone to pieces.

He could exert his cultivation with his will.

Finally, his divine sense reached the second level, allowing him to form magic signets with it.

He didn’t expect the breakthrough of his divine sense to be so simple. That he actually benefited from the Poison of Fire—the whole thing was like a cody.

He got up and was not in a hurry to break through to the third level. He could break through to the second level because of his long years of accumulation. If he wanted to break through to the third level, he would probably need a long ti of practice. Different from the breakthrough of cultivation, the breakthrough of the divine sense had strict requirents for souls.

If one’s soul was weak, it wouldn’t be able to withstand the huge impact of divine sense at all. It was like a container; if it was made with fragile glass, it couldn’t withstand the fiery lava and could only tolerate the boiling water.

Chu Xun’s Spiritual Body was very solid now. If one didn’t look at it carefully, they might think that it was his physical body.

He headed back the sa way he had co.

He had spent nearly a month in this Highly-curved Space, which was quite a long ti.

When an hour here passed, a whole day passed outside. Chu Xun had stayed here for nearly a month, which ant two years had passed in the outside world. He had to find a way to go back as soon as possible.

Moreover, what worried him the most was that he now was only in the outer regions, yet even that strange-shaped man was so powerful. If he went deeper into the place, he didn’t know what terrifying creature he would encounter.

“Damn Immortals. Why did you seal the Subterranean Devils Clan in the Highly-curved Space instead of sowhere else? It gave them enough ti to grow strong.”

Chu Xun encountered the ant army again when he rushed all the way back, but he was already experienced in dealing with them. He quickly fought his way out and left.

Several hours later, Chu Xun returned to the exit.

The strange-looking man was still there, quietly laying down, as if he had died.

Chu Xun summoned his divine sense and a purple ray of light flew out and landed on the strange-looking man’s head.

The man was knocked over and rolled on the ground a few tis, and then he rushed at Chu Xun with a roar.

Chu Xun rushed away with a whoosh and stood outside of his attacking range. His magic techniques moved with his will, and attacks landed on the head of the strange-looking man one after another.

The strange-looking man growled. The rock beside him was shattered by his voice. Sparks flew where the dark chain was connected.

Chu Xun attacked the strange-looking man for more than half an hour before the latter finally cald down. He continued attacking, and after another half an hour, the red glint in the strange-looking man’s eyes dissipated and he ca to his senses.

“You’re really a masochist,” Chu Xun grumbled.

The strange-looking man gazed at Chu Xun in surprise and asked, “You didn’t beco demonized?”

“It’s rely the Poison of Fire. What can it do to ?” Chu Xun raised his head and said proudly.

The strange-looking man curled his lips, but he was very surprised inside. “How did you do it?”

Upon hearing this, Chu Xun suddenly began wondering if he could absorb the Poison of Fire from the strange-looking man’s body into his own body and refine it with the Firmant Chain.

The strange-looking man had been trapped there for thousands of years. It could be imagined how strong the Poison of Fire inside his body was. He was probably full of Poison of Fire now.

“I may be able to help you get rid of the Poison of Fire in your body,” Chu Xun said.

The strange-looking man raised his head and looked at Chu Xun. His eyes flickered with amazing light as he said, “Can you really help remove the Poison of Fire from my body?”

Chu Xun nodded and said, “I’m not sure if it’ll work.”

“Co on, hurry up, what are you waiting for?” the strange-looking man said hurriedly. He had been trapped there for thousands of years and tortured by the Poison of Fire day and night. He didn’t want to live like a ghost.

His heart was filled with hatred because he had been tricked for millions of years. The hatred was deep-rooted in his bones. He wanted to seek revenge, so he did not wish to beco demonized or die a terrible death.

“Are you sure you’re clear-headed now and won’t beco demonized all of a sudden?” Chu Xun did not dare to move forward. If the strange-looking man suddenly beca demonized again, he would not even have a chance to escape. It would be too unjust for him to die that way.

“I won’t, for the ti being. Don’t worry,” the strange-looking man said.

Chu Xun decided to take a gamble. If he could save the strange-looking man, the latter would owe him a great favor and certainly would let him go.

Next, Chu Xun cautiously approached the strange-looking man, afraid that he would suddenly beco demonized.

The strange-looking man looked sideways at him and wrapped the chains that trapped him around the four huge stones. “Don’t worry! The chain is much shorter now. Even if I beco demonized and want to hurt you, you will have ti to escape,” he said.

Chu Xun nodded and walked over. He squatted down in front of the man and said, “Relax. I’ll try to draw the Poison of Fire out of your body.”

“Aren’t you afraid of being killed?” The strange-looking man glared at him. “The Poison of Fire in my body is much denser than that in the air. Once you absorb it into your body, you’ll imdiately beco demonized and lose your mind.”

“Don’t worry! I know how to solve it.” As Chu Xun spoke, he placed his palm on the man’s back. A strong suction force erupted from the center of his palm.

When the enormous amount of poison left the man’s body and entered his palm, Chu Xun was shocked. The strange-looking man’s body was like a gunpowder storehouse. The poison was so dense and viscous as if it was liquid.

The viscous poison entered Chu Xun’s body and instantly erupted. Chu Xun was shocked. Fortunately, at this mont, the Firmant Chain reacted. It shone resplendently with golden light, absorbing and refining all the Poison of Fire.

The strange-looking man gazed at Chu Xun warily. Once Chu Xun showed any symptoms of being demonized, he would stop the process imdiately.

After observing for a long ti, he didn’t find any such symptoms. What’s more, he even saw Chu Xun show an expression of enjoynt, which surprised him greatly. He couldn’t help but inwardly call Chu Xun a freak.

“Help with it,” Chu Xun glanced at him and said.

The strange-looking man replied, “Okay, open your eyes and see how I will output my power.”

Chu Xun got goosebumps all over upon hearing the words. He almost couldn’t suppress the urge to slap this weirdo to death. “What did he an by that?”

However, he had to concentrate on the next mont. A vast amount of Poison of Fire surged out from the strange-looking man’s body. Chu Xun hurriedly focused his attention and held his breath. With such a huge amount of poison entering him, he would instantly beco demonized if he was distracted.
