Chapter 648: Chapter 623: Coiling Dragon Break
“Brother, please feel free to rely on Little Spirit.”
The words had barely left Mu Chen’s lips when an ethereal laugh echoed in his mind, leaving him unsure whether to laugh or cry. ‘Still,’ he thought, ‘for Little Spirit, dealing with this Holy Weapon Secret Technique shouldn’t be too difficult.’
As the thought crossed his mind, Mu Chen abruptly raised the hand holding the Shattered Star Lock Chain. His Ice and Fire Dual Attribute Primordial Power instantly surged into it. In a flash, the once-ordinary silver chain erupted with a vibrant red and blue light. The length of chain circling him shot outwards as the bladed tip soared into the air. Nine golden rings suddenly materialized along its body, their radiance illuminating the heavens!
The moment they saw those nine golden rings, Yu Wen Tuo, Tuoba Rui, Elder An, Cang Mei, Wan Xianlin, Wan Xianzhong, and the other five Elders all stared with wide eyes and gaping mouths, roaring in unison, “A Nine-Turn Immortal Soldier!!”
“It really is a Nine-Turn Immortal Soldier!”
Staring blankly at the nine golden rings on the Shattered Star Lock Chain, Wan Xianzhong gulped. On the continent, among all known weapon grades, the lowest was the Yellow Tier, followed by the Profound Tier, Earth Tier, and Celestial Tier. These four were collectively known as Dead Soldiers.
Above Dead Soldiers were Living Soldiers, weapons that possessed their own intelligence. In ascending order of strength and intellect, they were classified as Spiritual Treasure Soldiers, Imperial Soldiers, Sacred Weapons, and Emperor’s Weapons. Of these, Emperor’s Weapons had the highest intelligence, nearly on par with a middle-aged adult’s, and were the only ones among all eight weapon types capable of human speech to communicate with their masters.
However, at some unknown point in time, another type of item appeared on the fantastical Extreme Martial Continent. It was called an Immortal Treasure. Its very existence gave rise to a new class of weapon that surpassed Sacred Weapons yet was second only to Emperor’s Weapons—the Immortal Soldier! A Nine-Turn Immortal Soldier!
“Favored by Heaven!”
The Third Elder was completely in awe. ‘The future of a Martial Artist with a Nine-Turn Immortal Soldier is boundless! And one who possesses such a weapon and can suppress a Three-Ring Venerable Realm expert while only at the Fourth-Ring Emperor Realm? His future is destined for the very peak! Not to mention, this Martial Artist also holds two of our Ding Palace’s greatest Sacred Artifacts!’
At that moment, Mu Chen calmly faced the phantom of the Death God absorbing the crimson aura in the air. The Shattered Star Lock Chain in his hand had already soared into the heavens. Its body swayed back and forth, ascending toward the sky like a rising dragon. As the red, blue, and gold light from the chain spread and diffused, the crimson sky took on a faint, violet-gold hue.
His right arm held high above his head, he channeled his Primordial Power without pause. Fueled by the dual output of Ice and Fire Elemental Power, the Shattered Star Lock Chain seemed to stretch limitlessly toward the sky. In just a few moments, it had already surpassed five hundred meters in length. And to the onlookers, its extension wasn’t slowing; it was accelerating.
As Broken Star extended, the nine golden rings grew larger and larger. By the time the Shattered Star Lock Chain reached a length of eight hundred meters, the diameter of the rings had already expanded to about fifty meters, and they were still growing.
Time ticked by. When the crimson glow filling the sky began to dim, the Shattered Star Lock Chain in Mu Chen’s hand finally stopped extending. Its length now reached a staggering fifteen hundred meters!
“Brother, that’s enough!”
An ethereal, sweet voice echoed in Mu Chen’s mind. A faint smile touched his lips as he gently opened his right hand, fully releasing the Shattered Star Lock Chain. ‘Little Spirit is getting stronger and stronger,’ he thought. ‘Just revealing the Immortal Soldier’s true form has already cost me thirty percent of my Primordial Power.’
“Hee hee.” Little Spirit giggled. “This isn’t even Little Spirit’s true form. When Brother’s Martial Arts Realm reaches the Saint Realm, my true form can be fully revealed. Don’t be too shocked when that happens! But for now, we have to deal with this guy first. Brother, with your current power, you can use one of Little Spirit’s Seven-Turn Battle Skills. Want to try it?”
“Of course!”
The moment he agreed, a stream of new information rapidly flowed into his memories. It didn’t feel foreign at all, as if it had always been a part of him.
His Ice Extreme Demon Pupils narrowed. With a single thought and no hesitation, Mu Chen’s hands began to fly through a series of seals. A terrifying might, one belonging to an Immortal Soldier from the Primordial Chaos of ancient times, suddenly erupted outwards.
The moment this pressure radiated out, every weapon on the plaza—from the long spears and lances of the Ding Palace Guards to the Giant Blades and longswords of the marriage trial participants, and even the Medicine Cauldrons held by the numerous Cauldron Masters—was torn from its wielder’s grasp. They crashed heavily onto the ground with a resounding CLANG, as if subjects prostrating themselves before their Emperor.
When this occurred, everyone scrambled to pick up their weapons. But no matter how hard they pulled, even when they infused their arms with Primordial Power, it was futile. The weapons and Medicine Cauldrons seemed fused to the ground, not moving an inch.
It wasn’t just them. Even the Nether Fire Blade in Tuoba Rui’s hand began to tremble violently. This was completely different from how it had vibrated when facing Zhang Lie’s Holy Spear. If that tremor had conveyed a fierce battle intent to Tuoba Rui, this one conveyed only one thing: fear! It was like a child before a Fierce Beast—a terror that stemmed from the very depths of its soul!
“An Immortal Soldier appears… and all other weapons submit…”
As someone muttered these words in a daze, everyone’s gaze shifted to Mu Chen.
Mu Chen, however, had no time to spare for the onlookers. The hand seals he formed grew faster and more profound, each movement leaving a trail of afterimages. As his Seal Technique progressed, the long, narrow Shattered Star Lock Chain began to coil in the air. With every rotation, the red and blue light enveloping it intensified. With every rotation, that brilliant light underwent subtle transformations. And with every rotation, its speed doubled!
