CHAPTER 740: CHAPTER 739: MYSTERIOUS DIVINE DRAGON PEARL (PART FIVE)

"How are you feeling?" Mu Chen approached the Ice Ancestor, his expression shifting as he spoke. To be honest, he felt an unforgettable debt of gratitude toward the Ice Ancestor, who had helped him too many times.

"I’m fine. You’ve done well, kid. You overcame your opponent. Otherwise, if the fight continued, we both would have suffered." The Ice Ancestor spoke earnestly, fully aware of Kunlun Zi’s fearsomeness.

"Ice Ancestor, to be honest, the only way I can repay your kindness is by sacrificing my own body," Mu Chen said with a smile.

"Get lost, leave this place quickly. I sense many are getting close," the Ice Ancestor said, his voice tinged with a coldness. Mu Chen was shameless.

"Understood." Suppressing his severe injuries, Mu Chen gritted his teeth and vanished from sight.

Without another word, the Ice Ancestor also disappeared.

After both had left, the Sanctioners soon arrived on the scene, their faces turning sour at what they saw.

Of course, besides the Sanctioners, some other fearsome powerhouses also descended upon the area to check out what had happened, but they were too late. Mu Chen and the Ice Ancestor had vanished in the blink of an eye.

Mu Chen and the Ice Ancestor, moving extremely quickly, arrived at Dark Demon Island in the blink of an eye, which was also the island of the Emperor.

This place was isolated from the world; if one didn’t know the way, they would truly be unable to locate it, as it was covered by a Maze and shrouded in fog, rendering the path completely indiscernible.

However, parting the mist, Mu Chen saw the clear path and an extremely beautiful island appeared before him. Just having arrived, he could sense the presence of many ladies, as well as that of the Emperor.

"What’s going on? Why so slow?" The Emperor’s expression changed as he saw Mu Chen.

"Husband." When the ladies saw Mu Chen, they were also very excited and finally felt at ease.

"I was ambushed by Kunlun Zi, but luckily they underestimated me. I narrowly defeated them, but I’m also critically injured," Mu Chen said earnestly, his face still pale.

"Kunlun Zi, he’s asking for death." The Emperor’s killing intent soared as he spoke with great anger.

"Old man, let me recover first," Mu Chen said, then sat down cross-legged to continue suppressing and refining the Divine Power Origin of the Heavenly God.

"That’s good," the Emperor nodded but was pleasantly surprised to see the aura of the Heavenly God emanating from Mu Chen.

"Emperor, I have something to discuss with you," the Ice Ancestor said with a change in his gaze.

"Hmm," the Emperor’s gaze shifted, and in a blink, he disappeared along with the Ice Ancestor.

The ladies sat down in a meditation pose near Mu Chen and started cultivating as well.

"What do you want to ask?" After arriving at a secluded place, the Emperor spoke indifferently.

"Emperor, why aren’t you dead?" the Ice Ancestor asked with all seriousness.

"The Divine Dragon gave me one-tenth of his power. Back in the great battle, I should have died, but that power saved me."

"Then you should know who betrayed us, right?"

"You must have guessed it already," the Emperor said indifferently.

"The Divine Race?" The Ice Ancestor’s pupils shifted sharply as he spoke.

"Everything is controlled by the Divine Race behind the scenes. To think that all beings are mere ants is laughable," the Emperor said coolly.

"These people only received the favor of heaven and earth to gain inhuman power," the Ice Ancestor’s killing intent soared.

"Just a bunch of failures, gods are but humans too," the Emperor’s killing intent continued to rise.

"So, are you planning to use the Divine Dragon Body to defeat them?"

"The Divine Dragon had always aspired to step into that realm in his lifetime, but he fell one step short and failed. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be in this situation," the Emperor spoke with seriousness.

"Don’t worry, the Divine Race is not invincible. I’ve also found a sliver of a method."

"Me too, the stronger we get, the more incredible the power we can feel."

"Is the Divine Dragon Pearl still in the Boundaryless Space?"

"I’m not sure, but I hope you don’t bring up the three words ’Divine Dragon Pearl’—do you understand?"

"I know, but that thing is what protects this place; it cannot fall into others’ hands."

"The Divine Race is strong, aren’t they? Still can’t find it. The Demon Clan is strong, right? Yet they still can’t find it," the Emperor scoffed.

"Because they don’t have the Divine Dragon Body," the Ice Ancestor said seriously.

"The Divine Dragon once said that only the Divine Dragon Body is the key to finding the Divine Dragon Pearl. However, that power is too terrifying. The Divine Dragon once touched it, but do you know the result?"

"What was the result?"

"That time, if it weren’t for the Divine Dragon sealing his own power, he would have surely succumbed to Demonic Transformation," the Emperor said earnestly.

"Is this why you don’t want to mention it? Because of Mu Chen?"

"If someone told you that your body could find an absolute power, given Mu Chen’s character, he might take the risk."

"That’s true, for his women, he might do anything."

"Ice Ancestor, I need your power," the Emperor said earnestly.

"Don’t worry, I’ll help you. But right now, I’ve only recovered a major part, not my strongest."

"The strength of the Ice Spirit Body is its possessor’s strength. Only when Liu Yuxi becomes the strongest..."

"So I want Liu Yuxi to visit the Ice Spirit Clan."

"The Ice Spirit Clan hasn’t sought you out for so long, don’t you find that strange?"

"They’re waiting for me to walk into a trap," the Ice Ancestor said with a smile.

"I think you’ve become the Ice Ancestor too quickly, beyond their expectations."

"Yes, too fast. Thankfully, otherwise the Ice Spirit Clan would have gone to war with you."

"Storm clouds gather towards the Flower Pavilion; I, the Emperor, am not afraid of anyone."

"Not even the Divine Race?"

"The Divine Race, you can rest assured. The Divine Dragon has left me a means; they can’t do anything to us," the Emperor stated with conviction.

"That’s good to hear."

"As for recovery, let this kid grow stronger, and then let him accompany you to the Ice Spirit Clan."

"Why don’t you accompany me?"

"Didn’t you say to let Liu Yu go? Therefore, these two are the most suitable."

"Alright then! But you have to protect them covertly," the Ice Ancestor said, having thought of something.

"Sure, no more discussion. Come with me to reinforce the Array. Your power of Absolute Zero should make anyone daring to trespass here regret it."

"What if we’re besieged here?"

"Don’t worry about a short-term siege. If they’re really going to attack, they’d have to join forces."

"Alright then! As long as you have your own considerations."

"Ultimately, it’s all up to that kid. The path of the strong is one they carve out for themselves, with their own insights into grudges and affections."

"That’s where you take after this stinky man. Back when my Junior Sister..."

"Enough, I’m just a pure and simple man."

"Get lost."

"Haha..."

Meanwhile, as time passed, Mu Chen had been seated for five to six hours. Finally, he opened his eyes. At that moment, he had completely refined the Heavenly Punishment Divine Power Origin, and his aura had risen significantly.
