Chapter 116: Chapter 99: One Sword Lays Thousands to Rest, Advancing Directly into the Tower Ascension Realm! (3-in-1)_4

And the National Preceptor, rumored to be a Lai Zitou Daoist, appeared to be a charlatan, not even a cultivator.

After the fall of the Liang Kingdom, however, there seemed to be no more news from the National Preceptor’s Mansion.

Where did this National Preceptor go?

"I indeed don’t know the answer you seek, but I have heard a story about Su Yu, the shadow, and the Elixir of Longevity."

Zhang Zhizhou continued:

"According to rumors, Su Yu heard a knock at the door at midnight and woke up startled, seeing a silhouette outside the bed curtains, thinking someone came to assassinate him."

"But then he heard the other person say he was there to deliver medicine for Your Majesty."

"As the silhouette spoke, it indeed handed him an elixir, which was the Elixir of Longevity."

"However, when Su Yu intended to get out of bed to express gratitude, he discovered there was no one outside the curtain—only his own shadow cast on the bed curtain, holding an elixir just like the silhouette he had seen moments ago."

"This is an anecdote known as ’The Phantom’s Gift’, do you find it interesting or not?"

The middle-aged Confucian scholar squinted at the head and continued:

"The shadow transformed into the Elixir of Longevity and gave it to Su Yu, and now...the shadow is gone, and the Elixir of Longevity is also missing."

Chen Kuang remained silent.

The Elixir of Longevity wasn’t missing; it was inside his stomach.

The person lacking a shadow was not only Su Yu but also the original Chen Kuang.

The current living Chen Kuang, however, did have a shadow.

The relationship among these seems easy to associate.

Su Yu’s shadow...seems to have transferred to him!

Chen Kuang felt a chill down his spine, hairs standing on end almost as soon as this thought formed.

"You’re back, huh."

A third voice suddenly echoed in the great hall, with a vast reverberation, heavy like a sigh.

A third person? How could there be a third person?

There were clearly...only two people here!

Chen Kuang and Zhang Zhizhou exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other’s eyes, like expressions of seeing a ghost.

Of course, they might indeed have seen a ghost...

Chen Kuang slowly raised his head, gazing upward at the coffered ceiling.

Su Yu’s head, without their notice, had opened its eyes, staring fixedly at Chen Kuang, and said:

"Did you know? The heavens have their fate, the nation its mandate, if the nation does not perish, then the emperor does not die."

Chen Kuang’s pupils contracted, opening his mouth, trying to speak.

"Boom..."

Outside Jinghe Hall, the starlight extinguished in an instant.

The Saint descended from the heavens.

The cycle of reincarnation began anew.

...

"Boom!!!!"

Flames erupted instantly, the ground caved in again, cracking like a spiderweb, the soil and rock nearly melting into lava.

Chen Kuang was instantly sent flying, rolling several times on the ground before finally stopping. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Hoo..."

Chen Kuang gasped heavily, all four limbs were broken, his body covered with hideous wounds, caused by Bai Fen crushing and dragging him earlier.

But soon, with no formidable enemy suppressing him, his body began to restore itself amid writhing flesh and blood.

"Meat Ganoderma" was still potent passively.

However, the brief enlightenment from "Vajra Bodhi" had lost its efficacy.

Chen Kuang stood up, raised his hand, gazing at the fragments of the Heaven-Burning Sword, and couldn’t help but laugh.

The Heaven-Burning Sword had broken!

In the distance, Bai Fen struggled to stand, eyes unfocused and expression incredulous.

"Pfft!"

Bai Fen spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, mixed with many red-black blood clots.

He could clearly assess his physical state.

He had actually been severely injured by an Innate Realm cultivator!

Bai Fen’s face contorted, looking at Chen Kuang, nearly tearing at the corners of his eyes: "How can this be... How can this be possible?! This is impossible! This can’t be!"

How could there be someone who can’t be killed?!

He took two steps forward, instantly turning pale, spitting out a whole piece of fragmented internal organ.

Chen Kuang flexed his body, shrugged: "What’s impossible about it... Once opened, it stays open, doesn’t it?"

His entire frame emitted crisp popping sounds, his muscles writhing, Spiritual Qi surging unpredictably, his presence transformed once again in an instant...

From Innate Void Force, straight into the Tower Ascension Realm!

Bai Fen noticed this transformation, almost feeling as if he were dreaming, struck by an indescribable suffocation, shouting tremulously: "I will kill you!"

He repeated this sentence over and over, eyes bloodshot, seemingly possessed.

Upon hearing this, Chen Kuang threw away the Heaven-Burning Sword fragments in his hand.

He grinned, gesturing at Bai Fen: "Alright! Come kill me! I’m waiting for you to come over!"

Bai Fen, though fiercely clamorous, became motionless upon hearing this sentence.

Chen Kuang spread his arms, advancing towards Bai Fen: "Weren’t you going to kill me? Then come on."

He drew closer and closer, and finally, at some moment, Bai Fen stepped back, staggering, and fell heavily to the ground.

Thereafter, this mighty Moon Embrace Realm practitioner suddenly shook his head vehemently, retreating fearfully.
