Chapter 1845: One Month Later

His spirit roamed within the enormous corpse, Zhang Xuan's mind growing increasingly steady, his soul becoming more and more attuned to it.

This was already the twentieth day of refining the corpse of this Voidbreaker-level expert!

When he first took this fellow out, not to mention refining it, his soul could barely even approach it; now, his witch soul could wander within it, ready to take full control at any moment.

"Voidbreaker is indeed formidable; the physical body is fundamentally different..."

After prolonged observation, Zhang Xuan had fully understood that experts of this level possessed not only formidable spirit and true energy but also an equally powerful physical body, enabling them to roam in shattered space without any harm.

By normal reasoning, having cultivated the Heavenly Dao Golden Body, his physique was already as hard as an ancient saint's treasure, but compared to this opponent, it still fell far short.

Earlier, he had been shocked that the Dragon Bone Divine Spear could not pierce the true energy defense; now he realized that even if he broke through the defense, he could not pierce the flesh, let alone inflict any injury.

Fortunately, that Heavenly Dao Scroll had not been used, turning the tide at a critical moment; otherwise, facing a Voidbreaker who exerted full force, the outcome would likely have been grim.

"Especially the meridians within the body—they are somewhat similar to mine..."

Through observation, he also noticed that the opponent's meridian layout was more reasonable, very similar to his own modified physique.

This allowed true energy to circulate much faster, making it easy to achieve power convergence and unleash greater combat strength.

"The final step: refinement!"

Having fully digested these thoughts in his mind, after another seven or eight days, knowing the time was completely ripe, he hesitated no longer.

Boom!

The witch soul fully entered the other's physical body, breaking through the remaining defenses one by one.

Whoosh!

The tall corpse stood up, slowly opened its eyes, and spread its five fingers. Zhang Xuan controlled it to move around, immediately feeling the boundless power within, surging and ready to burst forth.

At the peak of Blood Drop Rebirth, I could probably kill with one punch...

His eyes shining, Zhang Xuan could hardly contain the joy in his heart.

He still hadn't charged into Ancient Sage, but instead continued to suppress his cultivation at the Great Perfection of the Immortal Realm.

With such strength, controlling the corpse and killing a peak Blood Drop Rebirth expert with one punch—if word got out, no one would believe it.

This is my greatest trump card...

Having fully mastered the corpse and feeling it move as one, Zhang Xuan reluctantly flew out of its body and returned to his own.

From now on, this corpse would be his greatest trump card, allowing him to roam the world without fear.

Master, I have already refined the leg bones and foot bones. My current power is only a hair's breadth away from recovering to Shattering Void, and I can cross over at any moment...

He came before the ruthless one.

Entering the folded space, he had given the leg bones and foot bones to the other. After nearly a month of tempering, they were completely refined, and his strength had reached a peak where a breakthrough could come at any time.

Here are ten bottles of blood at the Blood Drop Rebirth level from the Alien Spirit Clan. Refine that straw raincoat together with this, and it should allow you to restore your physical body, thus successfully冲击 Shattering Void!

With a flick of his wrist, Zhang Xuan took out a pile of jade bottles and handed them over.

Previously, in battles with the Alien Spirit Clan, he had collected quite a bit of Ancient Sage blood, enough for the ruthless one's needs.

"Many thanks, master..."

Taking the blood, the ruthless man expressed his gratitude.

Earlier, he had wanted to refine the straw cloak, but his body was incomplete and his strength insufficient, so he had to set it aside. Now, he could finally find a way to succeed and fully recover.

Having given his instructions, Zhang Xuan stopped concerning himself with how the other would recover or unleash his strongest combat power—that was for him to realize on his own; saying more would be useless.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he continued to contemplate the gains of these past days. His aura grew increasingly restrained, becoming plain and unadorned, losing its former sharpness.

At this moment, even a Blood Droplet Rebirth level expert would find it hard to discern his true strength.

"With my physical body, true qi, and soul, plus my clone, I have effectively undergone the Ancient Sage Tribulation four times! To push further, I must find a way to gain insights into the laws and create techniques or martial skills that surpass the Heavenly Dao!"

Now, after being tempered by the Ancient Sage Tribulation, Zhang Xuan's physical body, true qi, and soul were all comparable to those of an Ancient Sage. It was precisely for this reason that he possessed combat power at the Blood Droplet Rebirth level.

However, this alone was not enough. He had refrained from advancing because he wanted his comprehension of the laws to also surpass the Heavenly Dao.

Only then would it be most perfect, and only then could he possibly exceed the achievements of Master Kong, reach the pinnacle of humanity, and shatter the void.

"Creating techniques and martial skills of this level—how difficult..."

Shaking his head, Zhang Xuan furrowed his brows.

To surpass the Heavenly Dao, one must find one's own path to succeed. Although his talent was unparalleled—learning any technique instantly and mastering it thoroughly—creating something of his own from scratch was still something he could not accomplish in a short time.

After several days of continuous contemplation with no leads, he finally left the folded space and returned to the summit of Qianye Peak.

"Come to think of it, it's been a month. I wonder how Liu Yang is doing..."

After a month of intense cultivation, feeling as if his body had rusted, Zhang Xuan was about to go see this student who had inherited the position of Yong Emperor when he saw waves of air surge and two figures fly over.

They were none other than Moling Ancient Sage and Huoxu Ancient Sage.

In a month's time, the cultivation of the man and the beast had grown even deeper, and the killing aura within them seemed ready to burst forth at any moment. It was clear that countless lives had fallen at their hands during this period.

"Greetings, master (president)!"

Both man and beast bowed simultaneously.

"How are things?" Zhang Xuan asked, not bothering with pleasantries.

"The young master has successfully quelled the entire spirit race's rebellion. Today is his coronation ceremony; he will publicly inherit the throne of Yong Emperor!"

Huoxu Ancient Sage said.

"The various feudal lords from before have also arrived at the royal city. Would the president like to go?" Moling Ancient Sage also looked over, anticipation in his eyes.

"Coronation ceremony? Excellent!" Zhang Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

Indeed, he had grown up. This student of his was more composed than expected. Although he had accepted Chen Yong Emperor's entrusting and received his empowerment, due to his youth and insufficient cultivation, there were bound to be countless strong individuals who were not convinced.

Hastily holding a coronation ceremony would not only fail to win over the masses but might even cause embarrassment.

Now that he had pacified the surroundings and no one dared to cause trouble, by riding the momentum and inheriting the throne, becoming the sole emperor of the alien spirit race, his deterrent power would greatly increase, and no one would dare to say anything more.

"Liu Yang is taking control of the alien spirit race and becoming their emperor. Naturally, I must go and see. Let's go!"

With a slight smile, Zhang Xuan nodded.

Liu Yang had always been insecure, feeling inferior to his fellow disciples. Now, single-handedly taking control of an entire race and achieving such greatness, as his teacher, Zhang Xuan felt honored and naturally had to attend in person.
