"You lowly wretch, what are you trying to do! I am the Emperor of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the Son of Heaven! How dare you kill me!"
Seeing Zhou Zhiruo's sword coming down, Emperor Yuan Shundi disregarded the pain of his broken wrist and immediately screamed hysterically!
But the hatred for her father's murder had been suppressed in Zhou Zhiruo's heart for nearly ten years. Now that she had the opportunity to vent her hatred, how could she hold back?
call out!
The sword's light flashed and then slashed down in an instant!
Emperor Yuan Shundi's head rolled away like a gourd!
"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have ended Emperor Yuan Shun's kingly destiny and gained all of Emperor Yuan Shun's kingly destiny!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained the soul of the Imperial Seal and acquired a mysterious ability!"
The system's voice echoed in Luo Chen's mind the moment Emperor Yuan Shundi died.
"Host, do you wish to absorb Emperor Yuan Shun's royal fortune?" the system asked.
"Absorb!" Luo Chen immediately agreed!
Instantly, a thin stream of warmth flowed into Luo Chen's body, making his cultivation, which was already close to the peak of the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, even closer to the peak of the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm!
"Damn it! What's going on? Zhu Yuanzhang just gave me so much royal fortune, but Emperor Yuan Shundi only gave me this little bit? It's not even a fraction of what Zhu Yuanzhang gave me! What the hell?!"
Luo Chen was very surprised and immediately asked in annoyance.
"Host, Emperor Yuan Shundi was the last emperor, and he didn't have many days left on the throne. You have essentially ended his reign for a few days, so having even a little bit of his royal luck is already quite good!"
Zhu Yuanzhang, on the other hand, was destined to become emperor, and moreover, the founding emperor of a dynasty, so his imperial aura was naturally immense!
The system explained.
"Damn! So that's how it is! What the hell is this 'Soul of the Imperial Seal'?" Luo Chen continued to ask.
"The soul of the Imperial Seal of the State inherits the mysterious power of the Imperial Seal of the State. When this mysterious power is passed on to different people, its mysterious power is different!" The ethereal voice of the system echoed in Luo Chen's mind.
"What is that mysterious ability that was passed down to me?" Luo Chen clicked his tongue, thinking to himself that this thing seemed pretty awesome.
"That cannot be answered. All we know is that this mysterious ability will naturally appear when needed!" the system replied.
"Damn it! You're keeping me in suspense again. Fine, I won't tell you then. It's already mine, why would I be afraid it'll run away?"
Luo Chen's mindset has improved, and he no longer argues with the system, so he stops asking questions.
"Master, Zhiruo's blood feud has been avenged. Zhiruo thanks you, Master!"
Just as Luo Chen was still feeling down, Zhou Zhiruo looked at him with clear eyes.
"Thank you? You're my Demon Queen, what's there to thank me for! But I'm pretty depressed right now, so I'll let you cheer me up!"
After saying that, Luo Chen roughly picked up Zhou Zhiruo, and with a thought, appeared in a luxurious room, then threw Zhou Zhiruo onto the Simmons mattress!
Zhou Zhiruo has one hour of companionship ability each day.
During the use of the companion ability, not only will Luo Chen's efficiency in absorbing demon slaves be greatly enhanced, but Zhou Zhiruo will also gain Luo Chen's cultivation during this period!
While Luo Chen was overjoyed, he did not forget to cultivate. He immediately took out a handful of Great Demon Slave Pills and ate them. Then he had Zhou Zhiruo use her companion ability!
……
As the saying goes, time always flies when you're happy!
Before we knew it, an hour was almost over!
Luo Chen calculated the time and realized that an hour was almost up, so he prepared to surrender and call it a day!
But at that very moment, the effects of the Great Demon Slave Pill within his body suddenly surged, and the Devouring Demon Technique within his body rapidly circulated, causing the effects of the Great Demon Slave Pill to continuously flow to every part of his body!
In that instant, Luo Chen suddenly felt extremely hungry!
This hunger is not for food, but for the Demon Slave Pill!
Without any hesitation, he immediately grabbed dozens more Great Demon Slave Pills and swallowed them!
boom!
The moment these Demon Slave Pills entered his stomach, they instantly transformed into a torrent of true energy, directly helping Luo Chen break through the last vestige of the peak of the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm!
The road ahead suddenly opened up, and it sprayed out wildly!
At that moment, Luo Chen's aura and oppressive power surged dramatically! Zhou Zhiruo was directly blasted away by this powerful surge of aura! ...
Chapter 102 The Master's Reward
"what--"
Luo Chen roared to the sky, clenching his fists as he felt the oppressive aura surrounding him and the power within his body!
"Is this the power of a mid-stage Qi Condensation Realm cultivator?"
Looking at his two large hands, Luo Chen felt that he had become many times stronger!
"Hmm? Zhiruo!"
Luo Chen was so focused on the thrill of breaking through his cultivation level that he completely forgot that Zhou Zhiruo had been sent flying.
Luo Chen quickly picked up Zhou Zhiruo and, with a thought, healed her.
"Damn! Did I hurt you when I wasn't paying attention?"
Because Zhou Zhiruo had volunteered to accompany her master, Luo Chen's cultivation had broken through to the present moment. Therefore, the more Luo Chen looked at Zhou Zhiruo, the more he liked her! So, for the first time ever, he began to care about her.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo could hardly believe her ears. She gazed at Luo Chen and exclaimed excitedly, "Master, you care about Zhiruo..."
"Yeah, I care about you!"
Luo Chen was completely immersed in the joy of his breakthrough in cultivation, and immediately gave Zhou Zhiruo a big kiss on her face.
But at that moment, Zhou Zhiruo's body suddenly began to tremble violently!
"Damn, what's going on?!" Luo Chen exclaimed in surprise.
"Ah! Master, it's the companion energy that Zhiruo received from you when the companionship ended! It's being released within my body now!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Zhiruo's demeanor suddenly changed!
During her many days of accompanying her master, Zhou Zhiruo's cultivation had already reached the peak of the late-stage innate realm!
However, although there is only one step between the peak of the late-stage Innate Realm and the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm, it is not as simple as the accumulation of internal energy and true qi!
If this step cannot be taken, then the difference will be like heaven and earth!
If this step is taken, then from now on it will be a broad and smooth road!
This time, however, the companionship was different from the previous companionships. When the companionship ended today, the companionship energy that Luo Chen bestowed upon Zhou Zhiruo was the companionship energy that Luo Chen used to break through from the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm to the middle stage of the Qi Condensation Realm!
The sheer magnitude of this energy is terrifying!
The release of the substance within Zhou Zhiruo's body at once brought her immense benefits!
boom!
The aura of the late-stage peak of the Innate Realm was instantly broken, and it directly reached the aura of the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm!
However, this imposing aura didn't stop there; it continued to rise! Becoming increasingly overwhelming!
The aura and pressure emanating from Zhou Zhiruo's body only abruptly stopped when they approached the peak of the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm!
"Ah! Master! My cultivation level! Master, my cultivation level is already at the early stage of Qi Condensation! And it's not just like when I first entered the early stage of Qi Condensation, it's at the peak of the early stage of Qi Condensation!"
Zhou Zhiruo wept with joy. With her own strength, even if she inherited the position of leader of the Emei Sect, she would only be a late-stage Innate Realm expert. Whether she could break through to the Qi Condensation Realm in her lifetime was uncertain!
But after following Luo Chen, she gradually reached the peak of the late-stage innate realm at a speed several times faster than ordinary people!
And now, she has actually jumped directly to the peak of the early stage of Qi Condensation Realm.
At this moment, Zhou Zhiruo felt that the most fortunate thing in her life was meeting Luo Chen!
Thinking back to the time under Guan Chuan Bridge, when Luo Chen tricked her into drinking the Demon King's blood and enslaved her, Zhou Zhiruo felt what a blissful scene that was!
Luo Chen was also shocked by Zhou Zhiruo's sudden increase in cultivation!
But then he realized that it must be related to his breakthrough in cultivation.
"Damn! Zhiruo really can break through while lying down! Much more comfortable than me, this hardworking old ox!"
Luo Chen chuckled to himself, but Zhou Zhiruo's improved cultivation was also a good thing for him!
"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have successfully enhanced the cultivation of the demon slave Zhou Zhiruo, increasing her daily companionship time to two hours!" The system's voice suddenly appeared in Luo Chen's mind.
"This is great! It seems we'll have two hours every day to rapidly improve our cultivation!" Luo Chen exclaimed in admiration.
"Zhiruo, your cultivation has just improved, so take your time to familiarize yourself with the place. Here are three Demon Slave Candies as a reward for you!"
Luo Chen kissed Zhou Zhiruo's face several times before exiting the Demon King's Space.
In the square in front of the palace, these young ladies from noble families stood motionless, trembling with fear.
Although Luo Chen had been gone for an hour, her words had left a deep shadow in the hearts of these young ladies from prominent families!
The beautiful woman who had been slapped unconscious by Luo Chen was still lying on the ground, intimidating everyone!
Of course, among nearly a thousand young ladies from prominent families, there are bound to be a few who are bold enough to be daring.
At first, no one dared to run away, but after half an hour, some people started to get restless.
After another incense stick's time, one of the beautiful women finally dared to run away!
Then, after some time, three more beautiful women ran away without a second thought.
The remaining people wanted to escape but dared not!
Luo Chen's methods were deeply imprinted in their minds; even the nearly 100,000 Imperial Guards and General Wanyan Kanglie were no match for him.
In the face of such a powerful person, obedience is probably the best rule of survival.
However, an hour had passed, and the group of beautiful women who were still standing in front of the palace square were starting to regret it. They regretted that they should have run away earlier, because if a few people were missing, it would not have been noticeable!
But at that moment, Luo Chen suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Because he had left a deep impression on these young ladies from prominent families, his appearance immediately filled all the beauties with uncontrollable fear!
"Sir... four women have just escaped!"
As soon as Luo Chen stood still, a beautiful woman from the Yuan Dynasty spoke up timidly.
This woman's thinking is selfish. If I can't escape, you can't escape either!
So she told Luo Chen about the four women's escape, hoping they could be brought back!
Upon hearing this, Luo Chen's lips curled into a signature devilish smile. He grabbed the delicate chin of the Yuanmeng beauty and laughed, "You're very good! I'll reward you later!" With that, Luo Chen waved his hand, and the golden-haired lion beast immediately appeared. He then commanded, "Go, bring back those four escaped women!"
Chapter 103 Demon Puppet Blood Cultivator Level 1 Authority
roar~
The golden-haired lion roared and then, following the lingering scent of the woman in the air, chased after her!
Then Luo Chen took out the Enslavement Whip and lashed it hard on the ground, making a crisp cracking sound. The young ladies were so frightened that they all looked at Luo Chen timidly.
A moment later, the golden-haired lion leaped directly through the city wall of the palace gate. It had a rope in its mouth, and four beautiful women were tied to the other end of the rope!
These four people are the same four who escaped earlier!
Leaping onto the plaza in front of the palace, the golden-haired lion swung its jaws, sending the four beauties crashing down at Luo Chen's feet!
These were all pampered young ladies from wealthy families; when had they ever been thrown down so roughly? After a moment of dizziness, the four of them slowly raised their heads.
But as they looked up, they saw Luo Chen's smile!
"You dare to run away? Looks like I'm no threat to you at all!"
Luo Chen's smile was gentle, but to these women, it filled them with a chilling fear!
Snapped!
Caught off guard, the Enslavement Whip suddenly lashed out, striking one of the women directly. The woman jumped up from the ground in pain, clutching the long wound on her back with her small hands and screaming in agony!
*Smack! Smack! Smack!* ...
The enslavement whip continued to lash out, whipping the four escaped beauties until they were nearly dead, screaming in agony! Even when they fainted from the pain, Luo Chen would whip them back to life, only to have the pain continue!
Moreover, Luo Chen's strikes were extremely precise, targeting the same spot repeatedly. This prevented fatal injuries but caused the pain to accumulate and intensify.
