Nine Realms Sword Emperor-Chapter 1637 - 1638: Hidden Aurum Essence

Now, just the power of Chu Fengmian’s Bloodline Power alone is comparable to the power of two dragons.

But Chu Fengmian’s strength goes far beyond that. His swordsmanship, his ice-fire Divine Body, and countless encounters have pushed Chu Fengmian’s strength far beyond the power of two dragons.

Now, even among the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperors, he is considered strong. Chu Fengmian is strong enough to rival two or three Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperors, and a prince of the phoenix race was killed by Chu Fengmian in a single strike.

Although there was some coincidence involved, it is enough to prove that Chu Fengmian’s strength among the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperors makes him an unquestionable powerhouse.

Especially now, Chu Fengmian is only at the Realm of the Eight Tribulation Ancient Emperor.

Once Chu Fengmian steps into the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, it will be a significant leap in strength for him, as the gap between the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor and the Eight Tribulation Ancient Emperor is immense.

Upon stepping into the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor, his strength will soar tenfold.

However, striving to break through to the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor is easier said than done. Even with Chu Fengmian’s heaven-defying talent and countless fortuitous encounters, breaking through a Realm is thousands or even tens of thousands of times more difficult than for other Martial Artists of the same Realm.

The resources required are also thousands of times greater.

Last time, in his attempt to break through to the Emperor Lord Realm, Chu Fengmian almost exhausted all his accumulated wealth.

This time, even though Chu Fengmian has gained numerous opportunities in the Crimson Continent and has killed many Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperors to obtain their Space Rings,

the resources Chu Fengmian needs to challenge the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor are still far from sufficient.

Furthermore, Chu Fengmian’s strength has yet to reach the Peak of the Eight Tribulation Ancient Emperor; he hasn’t even reached the Peak of the Eight Tribulation Ancient Emperor, let alone break through to the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

The more heaven-defying the person, the more difficult it is to strive for a higher Realm, and Chu Fengmian’s Heavenly Tribulation is a thousand times stronger than those of the same Realm Martial Artists.

Chu Fengmian will only choose to challenge the Realm when he is fully prepared and his foundation is maximized.

Throughout history, the more heaven-defying the genius, the more likely they are to perish under the Heavenly Tribulation.

Chu Fengmian does not want to follow in their footsteps.

"It’s not feasible to challenge the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperor yet, but there is still room to enhance my strength, especially the Power of Physical Body, which hasn’t reached its peak yet."

Chu Fengmian slowly stood up and looked at the ancient golden gate.

This time, his true purpose wasn’t to deal with the Transmigration Monk and others but to come for the tomb of the Golden Body Buddha Venerate.

Now that the Transmigration Monk and Han Ye the King of Dawn have been driven away by Chu Fengmian, and the prince of the phoenix race was killed by him,

the countless treasures within the tomb of the Golden Body Buddha Venerate belong solely to Chu Fengmian.

Rumble!

Chu Fengmian stood up, gathering Spiritual Power in his palm, transforming it into a dragon claw, and struck the ancient golden gate.

This ancient golden gate, with cracks all over it from Chu Fengmian’s previous strikes, shattered with this blow as Chu Fengmian’s concentrated power hit it.

The ancient golden gate disintegrated in the air, revealing the scene behind it to Chu Fengmian’s gaze.

Countless treasures revealed themselves.

These treasures, which had attempted to escape before the golden gate shattered, now were clearly visible to Chu Fengmian.

The most dazzling treasure was a golden-red stone the size of a fist.

It was this golden-red stone that shone the brightest.

"Great, it’s the Hidden Gold Essence! As expected, it’s hidden in the tomb of the Golden Body Buddha Venerate! A fist-sized Hidden Gold Essence, perfectly golden-red, of perfect quality, making it an ultimate Hidden Gold Essence! Almost reaching the level of Immortal Item!"

Upon seeing this golden-red stone, Chu Fengmian was overjoyed. He recognized what this golden-red stone was.

The Hidden Gold Essence.

A heavenly treasure formed from the purest power of earth, a thousand times purer than the power contained in the pure essence of earth.

This small, fist-sized piece of Hidden Gold Essence contains more power of earth than a continent formed from the pure essence of earth.

Chu Fengmian had once obtained a whole mountain range of earth essence, yet compared to this Hidden Gold Essence, it was not even one percent as significant.

From this alone, one can understand just how immense the power of earth contained within the Hidden Gold Essence is.

Moreover, its preciousness lies not only in its vast power of earth but also in its purity.

While the pure essence of earth is considered a treasure among the Nine Tribulations Ancient Emperors, purchasing a large amount is possible at a high price.

Even a more potent pure essence of earth than what’s contained within this Hidden Gold Essence can be bought by Chu Fengmian with Spirit Stones.

But the Hidden Gold Essence is invaluable, for its purity is beyond human ability to produce.

Hidden Gold Essence can only possibly be formed during the creation of heaven and earth amidst chaos; it cannot emerge even in outer lands steeped in the power of earth.

Furthermore, the Hidden Gold Essence in Chu Fengmian’s hand is the highest grade of Hidden Gold Essence.

This supreme Hidden Gold Essence is an essential material for maximizing the condensing of the body and challenging the immortal true body. It is highly coveted by countless half-step Heavenly Human Realm experts and even Heavenly Human Realm experts.

Refining such a piece of Hidden Gold Essence can enhance my Power of Physical Body by at least fifty percent!

Chu Fengmian felt the power contained within the Hidden Gold Essence and couldn’t help but marvel, though he wasn’t in a rush to refine it.

Instead, his gaze continued to fall within the stone chamber behind the ancient golden gate.

At the center of this stone chamber was a stone coffin, but at a glance, Chu Fengmian could see through it and find it empty.

No remains were inside, only an ancient Kasaya with a restriction left by an unparalleled powerhouse.

Although it has endured countless ages, the ancient Kasaya has not decayed.

"The bones of the Golden Body Buddha Venerate are not inside, suggesting he likely fell elsewhere."

Seeing this, Chu Fengmian remarked.

In some ancient texts, there are records about the Golden Body Buddha Venerate, but they are sparse and do not mention his death.

As of now.

Since the bones of the Golden Body Buddha Venerate are not in this tomb, he likely fell elsewhere.

Later, even the Pure Land Sect could not retrieve his bones, leaving only this symbolic grave of garments.
