Divine War Pill Emperor

BOOM!

Elder You had been relentlessly pressuring Jiang Chen, believing he had already forced the young man to reveal all his tricks.

He was already thoroughly surprised by what he had seen.

Jiang Chen not only possessed an Undying Body but also had numerous tricks up his sleeve. He was the most terrifying Martial Cultivator Elder You had ever encountered with a lower Cultivation.

'If we were at the same level,' he thought, 'I would have died countless times by now.'

But just then, a coffin came crashing down viciously on his head.

Caught off guard, Elder You felt as if his skull was about to shatter.

A deafening ringing echoed in his mind.

The impact sent his body flying.

He crashed hard onto the ground.

PTHOO!

Not only that, but Elder You also spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He still felt dizzy and disoriented.

When he finally managed to steady himself and look over, he saw that Jiang Chen was in an even more wretched state.

He was drenched in blood, yet somehow still alive.

'This is completely beyond my expectations.'

The coffin that had struck him was now floating above Jiang Chen's head, rotating slowly.

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, Elder You's eyes blazed.

"Brat, you actually managed to injure me."

"Very good. It seems I was careless."

"But now, just you watch how I'm going to destroy you."

Elder You was now truly enraged by Jiang Chen.

Fighting a freak like Jiang Chen was enough to leave even an expert like him feeling deeply shaken.

Jiang Chen was a full six realms below him, yet had managed to hold him off for half an hour and now had even injured him.

As for Jiang Chen, he was also in a terrible state.

The regenerative ability of the Corpse Heart Insects wasn't yet powerful enough.

With each wound he sustained and each time he healed, the speed of his recovery grew slower and slower.

Jiang Chen knew that if this continued, the regenerative power of the Corpse Heart Insects would eventually be exhausted completely.

'After all, I don't really have an Undying Body.'

'Not unless I devour more Corpse Heart Insects.'

The number of Corpse Heart Insects in the Ghost Temple wasn't that large. Although they were constantly being produced, it was impossible for them to grant Jiang Chen a true Undying Body in such a short amount of time.

'I need time.'

COUGH! COUGH!

Blood trickled continuously from the corners of his mouth.

Jiang Chen's gaze grew dim as he looked at Elder You.

But he remained resolute.

He slowly pushed himself up from the ground once more.

The Yang Coffin danced above his head.

"Die!"

Elder You charged forward without hesitation. This time, he was even more ferocious, his killing intent boiling over.

With no way to dodge, Jiang Chen could only brace himself for Elder You's assault.

But Jiang Chen wasn't one to simply wait for death.

An idea suddenly struck him—his greatest trump card, the Black Fire.

'At this point, summoning the Black Fire is my only option.'

He had placed the Black Fire Spark within the Death Lamp on the ninth floor of the Ghost Temple, where it served as the lamp's wick.

It was helping the Death Lamp suppress the Black Wind Demon.

'Black Fire, come forth!'

Gritting his teeth, Jiang Chen abruptly summoned the Black Fire.

In that instant, a streak of black light flashed and appeared in his palm.

It was a ball of Black Fire.

As Elder You closed in again, Jiang Chen could feel the man's absolute determination to kill him.

Clearly, he had thoroughly infuriated the old man.

Just then, Jiang Chen suddenly flicked his hand.

WHOOSH!

The Black Fire shot forward at incredible speed, instantly appearing in front of him and heading straight for Elder You.

PFFT!

Elder You couldn't react in time. He didn't even see what strange new technique Jiang Chen had used; he only felt himself suddenly come into contact with something.

He looked down to see a ball of black flame on his chest, which had appeared there at some unknown moment.

He froze for a second.

Then he felt it. The Black Fire, like a flash flood, began to spread rapidly across his body.

In a single instant, the Black Fire completely engulfed him.

The Black Fire raged.

"Damn it."

"You bastard! How do you have Black Fire? This is the Black Fire!"

His face drained of color in shock. Elder You was well-informed; after all, many knew that the Black Fire had appeared in the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, though no one knew who had ultimately obtained it.

Now, he finally recognized it: this was the legendary Black Fire.

The scorching heat of the Black Fire washed over his body.

FZZT!

In an instant, his clothes were incinerated, turning to ash.

This left Elder You completely naked.

A mixture of shock and fury washed over Elder You. He retreated explosively, roaring in anger.

He continuously used his Cultivation Power to suppress the Black Fire.

The Black Fire was incredibly potent, but in Jiang Chen's hands, it could only display a fraction of its true power.

Even so, it was enough to strike fear into the heart of an expert at the Martial Arts Sect Eighth Heaven, like Elder You.

Although it couldn't kill him, it could still make him suffer considerably.

Elder You used every ounce of his power.

PFF!

He finally managed to force the last wisp of Black Fire from his body. Having exhausted its energy, the flame flickered out completely.

Elder You's face was pale, his eyes shooting endless flames of fury as he glared at Jiang Chen.

'He got me again,' he thought. 'I have to admit, Jiang Chen's methods are completely beyond anything I could have imagined.'

This was the second time Jiang Chen had injured him. The Black Fire had left his skin cracked and scorched.

He hurriedly pulled a Black Robe from his Spatial Ring and threw it on.

Elder You let out a furious roar.

"Brat, you deserve to die! Go to hell! You've truly enraged me today!"

Elder You felt utterly humiliated. With his level of Cultivation, he still hadn't managed to kill Jiang Chen.

It was a disgrace. A monumental disgrace.

He could finally sense it: Jiang Chen had exhausted all of his tricks.

He had nothing left.

And so, he moved again.

He moved to kill Jiang Chen.

To kill the one who had injured him twice.

Jiang Chen, however, just stood there weakly, with almost no Combat Power left to speak of.

He watched as Elder You charged at him again like a madman.

A bitter smile touched his lips.

'So be it. I'll give you one last gift.'

Jiang Chen suddenly gritted his teeth, and the Cloud Mist Sword appeared in his hand.

He held his sword at the ready, waiting for Elder You to reach him.

BOOM!

Elder You's palm struck Jiang Chen.

SHLICK!

Elder You froze. At some point, Jiang Chen's sword—that Treasure Artifact—had been plunged into his chest.

Elder You couldn't believe it. How had Jiang Chen managed to get his sword into his chest?

He hadn't even had time to react.

All he knew was that Jiang Chen's strike had been too fast.

BAM!

Jiang Chen was sent flying again, crashing to the ground. His body convulsed, his injuries now catastrophic. Even the regenerative power of the Corpse Heart Insects had little effect on him now.

Sprawled on the ground, he looked toward Elder You.

But then, he grinned.

"Detonate!"

Jiang Chen spat out a single word.

In that moment, Elder You still hadn't had time to pull the Cloud Mist Sword from his chest.

BOOM!

With a deafening roar, the Cloud Mist Sword self-destructed.

This was the self-destruction of a Treasure Artifact; its power was unimaginable.

Worse still, the Cloud Mist Sword had self-destructed while embedded in Elder You's chest.

In that instant, Elder You's face twisted into an inhuman mask of agony.

But it was too late.

Caught in the blast, his body was flung far into the distance like a leaf in a gale.

Even the courtyard where Jiang Chen and his companions were staying was utterly obliterated by the explosion, destroyed beyond all recognition.
