An extremely powerful rebound came from the other party’s body and spread throughout his body. It caused every bone in his body to feel a sense of pain.
“His defense is strong, his healing speed is fast, and his strength is incomparably shocking. Is he still human!?” The Life Spirit General was completely stunned. It was not that he had never seen people with powerful bodies. But a physical body that was so powerful was really ridiculous. This completely refreshed his understanding of his physical body.
He had completely realized that his physical strength under the fusion was not enough to resist the other party. Since he could not win with his physical body, Then, he would fight with his soul!
A soul immediately floated out of the Life Spirit General’s body. It was his Life Spirit. Now that he had fused with his ferocious beast, not only had his body undergone a series of changes, but his Life Spirit had also improved greatly.
The entire Life Spirit emitted black light. He gave up on his physical body. He used his Life Spirit to attack Xiao Shi. He was using his Life Spirit to fight Xiao Shi to the death.
Typically, experts at the Life Spirit Stage would not easily use their Life Spirits to fight. After all, once the Life Spirit died, that person was gone. If only his body was destroyed, as long as his Life Spirit existed, he could continue to survive. In fact, if he found a suitable body, he could even reconstruct a body.
Of course, there were exceptions. Some Life Spirits were far stronger than their bodies, so they chose to fight with their Life Spirits. However, such people were ultimately a minority. Most people would only be forced to use their Life Spirits when they were in a desperate situation.
The current Life Spirit General was clearly in a desperate situation.
“Life Spirit…” Xiao Shi’s eyes lit up. It just so happened that he also wanted to try how his Life Spirit was. A Life Spirit also floated out of Xiao Shi’s body. This was a Life Spirit filled with an evil aura. Sinister, bloodthirsty, cold, and violent auras constantly dissipated from the Life Spirit.
This stunned the Life Spirit General. He felt that the other party was even more evil than him. Compared to that, it was as if he was the orthodox martial artist, and the other party was a demonic cultivator.
“Just who is he?!” The Life Spirit General’s heart trembled. The moment the other party’s Life Spirit appeared, he felt a natural suppression. It was like a little ghost meeting the King of Hell.
An ominous feeling arose in his heart.
It was at the center of the Imperial Domain. The sky here was a pure golden sky. Under this golden sky, there was the largest, most majestic, most imposing, and most powerful city in the current Tianwu Continent.
In front of this shocking city, any city in the world seemed insignificant. This was a huge golden city.
It was the Martial Emperor’s Imperial City!
The size of this city far exceeded Xiang Zizhen’s imagination.
The golden city wall emitted a pressure that made one’s heart tremble. There were also countless restrictions, as if they wanted to lock down time and space, suppressing this world and turning it into the luck of this city.
The power of the Five Elements and Four Symbols was drawn and suppressed. They all became the foil of this city, as if a peerless Paragon was resting here.
The moment Xiang Zizhen saw this shocking city, he felt the vast and domineering aura emitted by the dynasty. While it was incompatible with his surroundings, it seemed to be able to suppress the entire Imperial Domain.
The most terrifying thing was that there was another city floating in the sky above this city. The void around it was actually collapsing. It was as if the spacetime he was in was different from this world. Golden light flickered, and from afar, it looked like a huge golden sun.
This golden city in the clouds that was like a war fortress was where the Great Wu Empire’s palace was. There were also six islands surrounding it. Like guards, they guarded the palace in the middle extremely tightly.
These six islands were once residences bestowed by the Martial Emperor to the six mighty figures of the Great Wu Empire who were only inferior to him. However, these six mighty figures had either already died or had already betrayed the Great Wu Empire.
As a result, although the island was surrounded by fog, it was less lively.
“Do you see that island?” Xiang Zizhen’s master, Chen Yuan, pointed at one of the islands, his eyes filled with memories. “That used to be the residence of my master and your grandmaster, the Sect Master of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.”
Xiang Zizhen looked in the direction his master was pointing. Although these islands were already empty, every island still had a powerful aura. Moreover, there were six completely different auras.
Surprisingly, it was six different Daos!
Xiang Zizhen had seen many cities in his life, but none of them could compare to this imperial city. In front of this dynasty, the cities he had seen in the past were not on the same level. In fact, Xiang Zizhen felt that just those six islands were already better than all the cities he had seen.
This scene made Xiang Zizhen take a deep breath. It was an eye-opener. Under the lead of his master, they went straight to the Imperial Palace above after they successfully entered the Imperial City.
In the Imperial City, there was a path that led to the Imperial Palace above. This path was called the Path to Heavens. Apart from Chen Yuan and the pavilion master of the Martial Pavilion, the others were usually only qualified to step on this Path to Heavens when they received the call of the prince.
At the beginning of the Great Wu Empire’s prosperity, many people’s lifelong dream was to step on the Path to Heavens, enter the palace, and meet the legendary emperor. Even though the imperial power of the Great Wu Empire had collapsed, as the Path to Heavens that led to the palace, it still represented the huge authority and glory of the Great Wu Empire.
As they went up, Chen Yuan and Xiang Zizhen soon arrived at the main door of the palace.
“The prince has issued a decree to summon the priests of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect, Chen Yuan, Xiang Zizhen, to enter the palace to meet him!” An old voice sounded.
Chen Yuan and Xiang Zizhen successfully stepped into the main entrance of the palace.
What appeared in front of them was a huge square. At the end of the square, there were nine huge pillars. Every pillar was carved with dragons and phoenixes. The dragons and phoenixes were lifelike, as if they really existed.
In the center of the nine pillars was a huge green cauldron. Green smoke rose from the tripod and fused into the clouds. Hundreds of people stood on both sides of the square. They did not move and respectfully looked at the vast hall at the end of the square.
In front of the hall, there was a white-haired old man with a hunched body. He had his hands in his sleeves and lowered his head to show his respect.
There was only one person in the hall that everyone was staring at. The other party was wearing a golden robe. However, it was not an emperor’s robe. Instead, it was more like the clothes of a prince.
He was sitting on a big chair in the hall, holding an ancient book in his hand and reading it with his head lowered. This person had the appearance of a young man. He was handsome and gentle. When he smiled, it was like a spring breeze that made people intoxicated by that kind of familiarity.
The surroundings were quiet. It was as if he didn’t speak, no one would dare to speak up in advance.
In this silence, Xiang Zizhen could only stand beside his master and lower his head in silence. After a short silence, the prince’s gaze shifted from the ancient scroll in his hand to Chen Yuan and Xiang Zizhen in the square. A smile appeared on his face.
As soon as this smile appeared, it was as if centaurea had bloomed at the same time. The spring breeze spread, and the entire palace instantly lit up. Even the surrounding clouds seemed to dance.
“Minister Chen, the person beside you must be the great contributor of our Great Wu Empire this time, Xiang Zizhen, Minister Xiang, right?” The prince’s voice echoed in the air with his smile. It was incomparably gentle, and at the same time, there was a sincerity in his eyes that no one could doubt.
Xiang Zizhen held his breath and focused. According to his master’s instructions a while ago, he immediately took a step forward. He bowed deeply to the prince above.. “Xiang Zizhen greets Your Highness!”
