Asura Mad Emperor

Dongfang Zhen, enduring the severe pain in his meridians, stood up and asked in surprise, "Young Master Qin, how did you know I had a hidden illness? Do you know how to cure it?"

Qinchuan remained silent, not answering whether he knew or not but suddenly took out a richly aromatic elixir from his bosom. With a flick of his finger, he shot the pill into Dongfang Zhen's mouth.

As soon as the pill entered his mouth, it dissolved, flowing into his abdomen. Dongfang Zhen immediately felt a warm current rising from the Dantian in his abdomen. The warm current spread throughout his body along the meridians, providing a vast amount of True Qi and Spiritual Power, and rapidly healing his injuries.

"What kind of Healing Sacred Medicine is this? It's so effective!"

Dongfang Zhen's heart pounded ceaselessly. Although filled with doubts, he knew it wasn't the time for questions. Recognizing the rarity of this opportunity, he immediately sat cross-legged, cautiously guiding the warm current inside his body to repair his injuries.

"This Immovable Vajra Body is truly the strongest Defensive Treasure Body. In healing its own wounds, it is superior to other Treasure Bodies."

For a moment, Dongfang Zhen's body shimmered with flowing light, his figure emanating the brightness of Buddha, sitting solemnly on the ground, his visage dignified, radiating Dazzling Divine Radiance, as if a true Ming Wang deity was seated there.

His injuries were visibly healing.

Seeing that the time was right, Qinchuan hesitated no more. His figure flashed behind Dongfang Zhen, and he placed his hands on Dongfang Zhen's shoulders, circulating Innate True Qi.

From Qinchuan's palms surged tangible True Qi, which he fiercely injected into Dongfang Zhen's meridians.

"Hmm!?"

As soon as the True Qi entered Dongfang Zhen's meridians, his body trembled suddenly, feeling as if he was being scorched by a blazing sun at every moment, the intense pain making him involuntarily grunt.

Fortunately, Qinchuan had just fed him a pill, providing an endless stream of Spiritual Power, otherwise he would have already passed out.

At that moment, Qinchuan shouted decisively, "Energy Sink into Dantian, maintain focus on the Spiritual Platform, circulate the mental method!" Saying this, Qinchuan sent a strand of Divine Sense into the sea of Dongfang Zhen's consciousness.

"A Supreme Treasure resides within your body, constantly absorbing your True Qi and Spiritual Power. The hidden illness stems from this. As long as it is forced out of your body, the illness will heal without treatment!"

The Divine Sense contained the cultivation method of the Immovable Vajra Body. Upon contact, Dongfang Zhen, as if having discovered a treasure, shook violently.

Snapping to his senses, he immediately followed the mental method within the Divine Sense, guiding his True Qi through the meridians in a special pattern.

At the same time, Qinchuan already sensed the aura of the Spirit Root within Dongfang Zhen. The Innate True Qi from his palms burst forth, a stream of light enveloping Dongfang Zhen's entire body. One palm pressed against the position of his spine, beginning to draw out the Heaven-Piercing Five Elements Spirit Root from his body.

Dongfang Zhen instantly felt as if the meridians throughout his body were being pulled out, intense pain spreading everywhere, sweat bursting forth like raindrops, immediately soaking his entire body.

But he trusted Qinchuan at this moment; he also believed that if Qinchuan was willing to give him such a precious pill, he must not harbor any ill intentions.

He clenched his teeth tightly, his True Qi whirling madly within, clinging to the last trace of clarity on the Spiritual Platform.

Simultaneously, the suction force in Qinchuan's hands grew stronger, like the gaping maw of an enormous abyss, a forceful Badao suction coalescing the scattered Heaven-Piercing Five Elements Spirit Roots within Dongfang Zhen's body.

"Condense!"

With a fierce shout from Qinchuan, a segment of chaotic Spirit Root began to coalesce in his palm.

This Spirit Root radiated dazzling and colorful divine light, splendid and multi-hued, its material like jade but not metal. Though its appearance was roughly similar to ordinary Spirit Roots, its radiance was blazing like fire yet intensely cold as eternal ice. In a moment, it was as if it was in the midst of a boundless, silent desert, and then the next moment, it released a dense, vibrant life force.

It was indeed mysterious and magical.

"The Heaven-Piercing Five Elements Spirit Root! Finally found!"

"All the genius earth treasures needed to awaken the Innate Essence have been gathered; now I can advance to the Spirit Martial Realm and awaken the Innate Essence at any moment,"

Qinchuan's eyes were captivatingly intense as he drew out a Spirit Root from Dongfang Zhen's body. The Divine Radiance soared to the sky, and the tremendous aura caught the attention of Fu Xi and others nearby.

"Eldest Prince, what's that thing in the brat's hand?"

One of the Martial Artists under Prince Fu Xi, a man called Ah Da, leaned close to whisper in Fu Xi's ear.

Fu Xi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and his face revealed a hint of greed. Although Fu Xi did not recognize this Spiritual Treasure, he could tell from its radiant Divine Light that it was extraordinary.

With a flicker in his gaze shining a sharp brilliance, he spoke softly.

"I don't know, but no matter what treasure it is, we'll seize it first and ask questions later."

Originally, he had planned to wait until the Taiyuan Royal Family and the Tianyuan lineage were all together before capturing them all in one fell swoop. However, upon seeing the Dazzling Divine Radiance of the Spirit Root in Qinchuan's hand, he decided not to wait any longer.

Ah Da and the others understood Fu Xi's intention; the three of them exchanged glances and nodded at each other.

"Kill!"

Then suddenly, the three burst forth.

Ah Da executed a Heaven-Piercing Fist, Ah Er unleashed a Sky-Turning Palm, and Ah San wielded a great sword, brandishing a dazzling Mysterious Technique.

For a moment, Fist Shadows, Palm Imprints, and Sword Qi danced in the air, attacking Qinchuan and Dongfang Zhen from three different angles.

"Perfect timing, Dongfang Zhen. Now that your hidden ailment is removed, why not take this opportunity to practice with these three?"

Qinchuan was unimpressed by their Mysterious Techniques and called out.

"Just what I wanted!"

Upon hearing these words, Dongfang Zhen's eyes focused fiercely, radiating intense light as he shouted loudly.

The moment Qinchuan fully condensed the Spirit Root, Dongfang Zhen felt a refreshing sensation throughout his body. Not only did the True Qi from the Nine Yang Scripture and other areas flow unhindered, but the acupoints and Meridians throughout his body also connected seamlessly. The True Qi flowed endlessly like rivers merging into the sea, his pores opened, and he felt an indescribable sense of exhilaration. The chronic affliction that had tormented the Dongfang Family for generations and hindered his progression to the Dao Palace Realm miraculously disappeared.

The Elixir Qinchuan had fed him just moments before had completely healed his wounds. Now, with no Heaven-Piercing Five Elements Spiritual Root to oppress and absorb his Spiritual Energy, the Immovable Vajra Body was unleashing its true power, and he felt an ineffable strength coursing through him.

At this moment, he couldn't help but want to test the extent of this Divine Power.

"Subdue!"

Dongfang Zhen sat cross-legged on the ground, brought his hands together, and a majestic Ming Wang Buddha appeared above his head, radiating boundless Buddha light.

The Ming Wang Buddha was enveloped in divine light and luster, emitting dazzling Divine Radiance as if the Buddha had descended to earth, guarding in all directions, immovable as a mountain.

As soon as the Ming Wang Buddha appeared, faint sounds of Buddhist chanting surrounded the area, like whispers of a deity, calming the restless hearts of all present.

Meanwhile, the Fist Shadows, Palm Imprints, and Sword Qi from Ah Da and the others were already hurtling towards Dongfang Zhen's head.

All three were elites of the Taiyuan Royal Family, each wielding Heaven Rank Mysterious Techniques with overwhelming momentum. It seemed they were about to strike Dongfang Zhen on his head, and in the next moment, he would be on the brink of life and death.

But just then.

An unexpected change occurred.
