Chapter 251: Chapter 251 – Emperor Hanlan
“Only the top 50?” Zhou Xuanji asked as he took out a set of white clothes and put them on.
The lightning around him had disappeared and his skin returned to its normal fair complexion.
Killing two Ninth Rank great demons could only get him into the top 50?
Zhou Xuanji felt somewhat displeased. Now that he had obtained another Heavenly Soul legendary sword, his battle strength would definitely increase by leaps and bounds. He could become even more powerful!
After reaching the Spirit Refinement stage, despite absorbing the demon energy from two Ninth Rank great demons, he was still unable to break through.
It was quite strange.
Perhaps this was the downside to having ridiculous strength—the amount of spirit energy he required for breaking through was much more than what other people required.
“It’s already absurd, alright? When I was your age, I was still looking up at the Inner Pellet stage,” Xian Xianghua said in annoyance as she rolled her eyes. However, her eyes were bright.
This boy in front of her gave off the aura of a powerful expert more and more.
Thinking back to when they had first met, things were completely different from back then.
“Oh, your talent was that lacking?” Zhou Xuanji asked teasingly as he looked into the distance.
Jiang Xue, Xiao Jinghong, Ning Zifeng, Zhao Congjian, and the others flew over with the second generation disciples, all of them looking incredibly excited.
That battle had caused their blood to boil!
This was especially so for the second generation disciples. They felt an impulse to offer their lives to Zhou Xuanji and go through water and tread on fire for him.
An expert like this was worth them following for their whole lives!
Nan Ruyun brought a group of Hanyin Divine Sect’s Elders and Managers and descended.
They all bowed as they paid their respects, saying, “Thank you for your assistance, senior!”
In the world of cultivation, those with power reigned supreme!
Since Zhou Xuanji was more powerful than them, he was their senior!
Xu Xianxuan stood behind them, looking at Zhou Xuanji with a burning gaze. She did not go up and greet him, as the gap between them was simply too great.
Zhou Xuanji slightly nodded and continued to wait for Jiang Xue and the others to arrive.
“What is the Tyrant Emperor Ring?” He asked inwardly curiously. He always felt great interest towards the Supreme Legendary Sword System’s equipment.
“It can increase one’s Emperor’s Might, store spirit energy, and create a defensive barrier that will automatically activate when facing lethal damage and counterattack.”
Hearing this, Zhou Xuanji’s eyes lit up. What a treasure!
Seeing that Zhou Xuanji did not say anything, Nan Ruyun and the others did not dare to speak either and silently waited.
Xian Xianghua looked at Zhou Xuanji’s face and fell into her thoughts; no one could tell what she was thinking.
After a while, Jiang Xue and the others arrived. They surrounded Zhou Xuanji, clamoring noisily.
Zhou Xuanji smiled as he answered their questions. His attitude towards them and towards the Hanyin Divine Sect were completely different.
“Senior Zhou, would you like to come into the city so our Hanyin Divine Sect can thank you?” Nan Ruyun asked as she cupped her fists. Zhou Xuanji’s strength had completely convinced her, so she naturally wanted to try to rope him in.
She glanced back at Xu Xianxuan with her peripheral vision, a plan forming in her mind.
Zhou Xuanji nodded and led his group into the city.
After breaking through, he needed some time to consolidate his cultivation.
During this battle, Zhou Xuanji had charged into an army of millions of demons by himself, ascended a tribulation, and killed two Ninth Rank great demons. This would definitely shake the entire Northern Wilderness.
Since the war between the two races had begun, the human race had not yet had such a big victory.
It was not that the human race did not have powerful experts, but every time the powerful experts acted, the demon race would send equally powerful beings to defend.
In less than three days, news of this battle spread across the Northern Wilderness, causing countless people to clamour.
“Zhou Xuanji broke through to Spirit Refinement! He also survived an Ascension Tribulation. Doesn’t this mean he’s guaranteed to break through in the future?”
“Who was saying that Zhou Xuanji was an evil cultivator?”
“So domineering; he broke through in the middle of a battle?”
“It’s said that Zhou Xuanji fought for Xian Xianghua’s sake, and he said that he would make Jihuang Demon Lord pay!”
“So people are calling it a hero saving a beauty? Pshaw, it should be called villains colluding together!”
“So powerful; the human race will be saved by a genius like him.”
Within the Seven Empires and various large factions, many people had similar discussions.
The human race was split into two groups. One went mad for Zhou Xuanji and hoped that he would save the human race; the other looked down on him and felt that he was shameless and contemptible to disregard everything for Xian Xianghua.
Zhou Xuanji did not hear any of these voices, and even if he did, he would not have cared.
Currently, he was within a room as he ran his fingers over the Ancient God Sword.
The Ancient God Sword was 1.5 meters long and was silver-white. There were dragon patterns around the hilt, and the crossguard’s two sides were shaped like dragon claws. At the center was a blue gemstone and there was a crown at the end of the hilt.
Holding this sword, Zhou Xuanji felt a boundless domineeringness, like an Emperor of 10,000 swords, high and mighty.
The Ancient God Sword was very heavy, and according to his estimate, it weighed around 25,000 kilograms.
However, to the current Zhou Xuanji, holding the Ancient God Sword was not difficult.
“Sword Spirit, where are the souls within the Ancient God Sword from?” Zhou Xuanji asked. He had tried the sword out earlier, and the first ancient power being’s soul was called Emperor Hanlan.
He did not know how strong he was yet.
When he had fused with Emperor Hanlan’s soul, his strength had greatly increased and the effect was not any weaker than the Sky Extinguishing Sword’s. When used together, his strength would become even more ridiculous.
He felt that he could even sweep across the Great Realization stage.
“They come from different worlds. When the Supreme Legendary Sword System brought you to the Northern Wilderness, it absorbed many souls on the way and used their memories to create various swords and treasures,” the Sword Spirit replied, causing Zhou Xuanji to sink into his thoughts.
Different worlds?
This was big news, and he could not help but think about it.
At that moment, someone knocked on the door.
Following this, Xian Xianghua opened the door and entered.
Zhou Xuanji opened his eyes and said in dissatisfaction, “I didn’t say you could enter.”
Xian Xianghua walked over to his side and sat down, while the door closed with a thud.
“Didn’t you say I’m your woman? Since I want to enter, I can naturally enter,” she said as she smiled. She stretched out her right hand and started to caress Zhou Xuanji’s face.
Zhou Xuanji felt chills and moved to the side, creating some distance between them.
“What do you want?” He said in a low voice. Jiang Xue had gone out to take a walk; if she saw this, how awkward would it be?
Even though Jiang Xue had acknowledged Xian Xianghua’s existence, they were not yet married, so the two women often competed for his affections and got jealous.
“Were you serious about what you said about making Jihuang Demon Lord pay?” Xian Xianghua asked seriously. When bringing up Jihuang Demon Lord, killing intent shined out of her eyes.
Zhou Xuanji nodded and said, “You don’t need to feel too touched.”
“I don’t want you to go. Even though you’re very powerful right now, Jihuang Demon Lord is stronger and can even injure me. Don’t take any risks—just take in some disciples and return,” she said seriously. The battle from before had reinforced her convictions that Zhou Xuanji was a Ten Thousand Year Prince.
She was sure that other powerful beings had also guessed at this.
As such, he had to lie low.
“I have my own considerations, don’t worry,” Zhou Xuanji calmly replied. Jihuang Demon Lord was only second in the world, and if he was afraid of him, how would he fight the one ranked first? And how would he fight with the heavens?
He changed the subject and asked, “Putting me aside, what about you? How did you get so heavily injured without doing much? How many Ancient Diablos are there in the world for you to absorb and recover?”
This old demonic woman was not careful at all!
She would cause her own death sooner or later!
