Nine Yang Alchemy Emperor-Chapter 1012 - 1022: Three Against One

"Even my Demon Body has become so strong; my true self must work harder to quickly enhance my cultivation."

Since the Demon Body successfully passed the lightning tribulation and advanced to the Yaksha realm, Chu Feng clearly felt that his control over the Demon Body seemed to have weakened significantly. Specifically, he couldn't quite describe it.

For example, if he had the strength of one hundred pounds, the sword he previously used weighed only ten pounds.

He could naturally wield it with ease, effortlessly and smoothly.

But now, the sword's weight has reached one hundred pounds, requiring all his strength to swing it.

If his true self couldn't rapidly enhance his cultivation, and the Demon Body grew stronger, it might turn and devour its master.

It wouldn't kill him, but it would certainly contest for control.

"Come over!"

Chu Feng beckoned to the Demon Body, which hesitated for a moment before shrinking and disappearing. The next second, it appeared right in front of Chu Feng.

Looking closely at his Demon Body, Chu Feng noticed it was abnormally tall.

A good three meters tall, and its face even more terrifying.

On top of its head, there was an obvious protruding lump that looked like a horn.

The name Yaksha is not given in vain.

This is just after its advancement. As its cultivation realm increases, that lump will keep growing taller, eventually becoming a forked horn.

It is said that the horns of a Yaksha will become their most formidable weapon.

With mysterious abilities unknown to outsiders.

Chu Feng utilized a spell, shooting out a wisp of blue flame from his fingertips. It was his Nine Yang Strange Fire.

He continuously painted, forming the blue flame into a rune shape, which he implanted into the Demon Body.

Since its Devil Heart is its core, not its head.

To be safe, Chu Feng planted a fire rune restriction within its Devil Heart. If it dared to devour its master, Chu Feng would immediately activate the restriction to destroy it with Abnormal Fire.

However, since it has advanced to the Yaksha realm, Chu Feng wasn't sure if the Grade Eight Strange Fire could handle it.

Regrettably, advancing the grade of Abnormal Fire is extremely difficult.

The only way is to devour other Abnormal Fires.

"Go on! Stay underground and await orders at any time!" Chu Feng waved his hand, and the Demon Body vanished in an instant.

Now possessing absolute strength, there are many things Chu Feng could do.

But he must not rush; he can only accomplish them one by one.

Destroying the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom, killing the Panlong Heavenly Emperor is first on the list.

The second is to ascend the Undying Tomb and retrieve the Evil Dragon Pearl. This bead is his father's relic and is crucial for advancing to the Earth Immortal realm. It must be retrieved.

The final task is to personally go up to Shennong Mountain and demand the Medicine King Scripture.

In keeping with Chu Feng's usual style, if the enemy willingly bets at the spot, there would be no issue.

If the opponent deliberately delays and plays tricks, forcing him to personally collect it, they will have to pay a high price.

Typically double.

"Let's head to the frontline battlefield!"

Chu Feng had been cultivating here for many days, yet neither Fang Xuanling nor Wen Shu returned to report. It meant that the front-line battles were not as smooth as imagined.

The starved camel is still bigger than the horse; the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom, despite its decline, was once the strongest Heavenly Country on the Divine Martial Continent.

Chu Feng, accompanied by his three wives, hurried to the frontline.

...

At Black Water City, the Panlong Heavenly Emperor returned after losing both arms, gathering remnants and relying on natural barriers to resist stubbornly.

By the time Chu Feng and his entourage arrived, the two sides were clashing.

However, the situation of the Great Chu Empire was somewhat unfavorable as it was besieged on all sides.

"Greetings, Emperor!" Wen Shu and Fang Xuanling flew over to pay their respects to Chu Feng. Wen Shu's salute was accepted by Chu Feng without objection.

Fang Xuanling, the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect, paid him a vassal's obeisance, making Chu Feng feel rather embarrassed.

"How goes the battle?" Chu Feng had to assume the dignity and aloofness befitting an emperor when inquiring about the war situation.

"Reporting to the Emperor, the Panlong Heavenly Emperor retreated to Black Water City with remnants in hand. Initially, our Great Chu Empire's soldiers were fully capable of breaching Black Water City. However, the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom pulled in allies. The Great Marshal of the Xuanwu Heavenly Kingdom, Chang Shuqing, led a million troops and many Sword God Level experts to reinforce them. Among them are not a few Supreme Sword God Level experts."

Wen Shu reported the latest situation from the front lines to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng's brows furrowed. The Xuanwu Heavenly Kingdom had intervened as well. He was not surprised, but as Wen Shu said, even heroes cannot withstand overwhelming numbers.

The Great Chu Empire was already lucky to have defeated the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom.

Now, with another Heavenly Kingdom providing reinforcements and the enemy in a defensive position, breaching Black Water City and defeating the enemy army was as difficult as climbing to heaven.

"Emperor, if it were only the Xuanwu Heavenly Kingdom providing reinforcements, we would be unafraid. According to reliable reports, the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country is also making tentative moves against us. If we engage in a bloodbath with the Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom and the Xuanwu Heavenly Kingdom, even if we win, it would be a pyrrhic victory. By then, the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country could easily pounce and swallow us all."

Wen Shu's expression was very serious.

In terms of military talent, few could match Wen Shu. He had an exceptional understanding of the battlefield, especially the overall situation.

"Oh, so even the despicable Vermilion Bird Emperor can't resist wanting a share? In that case, let him have this opportunity. Coincidentally, the first store of my Longevity Hall opened in the Imperial City of the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country. It's time to make the Vermilion Bird Heavenly Country change its surname."

Ice-cold gleams shone in Chu Feng's eyes.

Years ago, Chu Feng led his forces valiantly on the frontline for the Vermilion Bird Emperor, only to be betrayed by that shameless individual.

As a result, in fury, and trapped in desperation, Chu Feng established the Great Chu Empire by relying on his own army.

To think the Vermilion Bird Emperor couldn't sit still again and was ready to make a move.

Truly a restless person.

"Immediately order the three armies to nurture their spirits. Tonight, we will storm Black Water City together with this Emperor. Let the enemy army know the might of the Great Chu. In the past, there was Chu's Tyrant Xiang Yu, who slew twenty thousand enemies with eight hundred iron cavalry. Now, there is me, Chu Feng, with the army of one country, to destroy three great Heavenly Countries."

Chu Feng's declaration was far from overconfidence; he possessed the capabilities to back it up.

Putting aside everything else, merely his Demon Body could sweep the entire battlefield.

Which expert among the opposing forces could withstand a single strike from the Demon Body?

Besides, Chu Feng's strength was equally formidable. If he didn't use the multitude of sword technique divine abilities he had comprehended to strike his enemies, what purpose would they serve, rusting away?

The deep vendetta with the Panlong Heavenly Emperor had dragged on for many years.

Previously, Chu Feng lacked the power to avenge, so he had to endure. Now, having acquired the strength, he naturally wished to drink the blood of his foes.

...

As night fell, the Great Chu Empire's army was fully rested and ready, waiting for Chu Feng's command to launch an assault and attack Black Water City.

Chu Feng was also meditating, comprehending the Heaven and Earth Sword Skill.
