Chapter 98: Nine Deaths Seizing Heaven Record

  As the golden light grew stronger, the jade stone actually floated in mid-air on its own, leaving Xu Hua utterly astonished and staring blankly at the changes in the jade.

  The golden light gradually dispersed all the evil fires within a radius of several feet, and in mid-air, a huge and extremely bold middle-aged man's face shadow appeared, looking just like the real thing!

  Xu Hua was shocked and muttered: "What is this jade stone after all!"

  "Lucky guy!"

  At this time, the giant face suddenly opened its mouth, which made Xu Hua even more surprised. "Can it actually speak?"

  "If I had your good fortune, perhaps by now I would have become a Martial God!"

  The giant face seemed to have not seen Xu Hua and let out a sigh on its own.

  "God of War!!!!" Upon hearing these two words, Xu Hua suddenly trembled all over, his pupils fixedly staring at the gigantic face floating in mid-air. He was completely captivated by the two words "God of War".

  In Xuhua's mind, the Martial Emperor was already an extremely formidable figure, and they all stood at the pinnacle of the continent. Not to mention the powerful warriors above the Martial Emperor! This person said he might become a Martial God, so he must be a strong warrior among the Martial Saints! Could it be that I will obtain his inheritance?

  Xu Hua was extremely excited. He had always been envious of Luo Cheng for obtaining the inheritance of the Blood Saint, and now he might finally get his wish too?

  "Alright, no more nonsense. Although I don't know who this lucky guy is, since you've obtained the jade slip left behind by the Overlord Saint, I, the Saint, hope you become a god!"

  Jù Liǎn continued to speak, while Xú Huà's heart stirred, and he muttered: "Bà Shèng? This person was also a titled Wu Sheng strongman! Wants me to become a god? It seems that the things left behind by Bà Shèng are not bad!"

  "I became the Overlord solely because of a single cultivation technique. Although I don't know who created this technique, it's definitely not simple! Perhaps it was left behind by an ancient, or even primordial, strong being!"

  "Remember, this technique is called 'Nine Deaths Seizing Heaven Record'"

  As soon as the words came out, this giant face suddenly disappeared, and immediately a string of dozens of rows of golden small characters floated in the air. Xu Hua hadn't had time to observe them carefully when these small characters suddenly entered his mind.

  Suddenly, the small characters from just now appeared in Xu Hua's mind. Although Xu Hua didn't recognize these characters, he instantly understood their meaning. It was truly wonderful!

  "Human strength is limited, unlike the boundless power of heaven; human strength has an end, unlike the endless power of heaven... I have absorbed the ultimate energy of the universe into my body, using my flesh and blood to seize all the essence of the universe... Alas, this achievement is not constant, I fear there may be a risk of nine deaths and one life, so I leave it to future generations, hoping they will be cautious..."

  This is a powerful technique called "Nine Deaths Seizing Heaven Record".

  It is not a martial art or a martial skill, it can be said that it is a physical exercise method, but it is also different from ordinary physical exercise methods!

  This "Nine Deaths to Seize Heaven Record" utilizes the extreme energies between heaven and earth, such as the Earth's fierce fire, the mysterious water of the abyss, the Nine Heavens' gale winds, the indestructible thunderbolts, and the dark, cold air of the underworld, to temper the martial artist's body. At the same time, it can also absorb these energies into the body, transforming them for one's own use. It is said that when practiced to the extreme, one can even refine heaven itself into their body, thereby attaining the ability to seize heaven. However, this is merely a speculation by the creator of this technique themselves, and not even they were able to achieve it!

  "Ah..." After digesting all this knowledge in his mind, Xu Hua let out a deep breath, and his dark eyes were filled with dazzling light.

  "This "Nine Deaths to Heaven's Record" is indeed powerful! Although the person who said that 'heaven' was a bit exaggerated, it can't be denied that this is an extremely overbearing technique."

  "But for the vast majority of people, this cultivation method is simply a suicidal one! Cultivating in the midst of Earthly Fiend Fire, Nine Heavenly Lashes Wind, and Unextinguished Thunder... isn't that just asking to die?"

  "For me, this technique is still very dangerous, but the danger has decreased a lot. As long as there are enough Life Crystals and sufficient life energy to repair my injured body, I should be able to go further than my predecessors!"

  Xu Huaxin was filled with confidence, and immediately looked around at the surrounding flames that had closed in again. He said: "Am I not currently in the midst of the flames? It's just right to try out whether this 'Nine Deaths Seizing Heaven Record' is as extraordinary as they say!"

  Xu Hua immediately sat down on the ground, starting to circulate the "Nine Deaths to Heaven Record". However, he didn't let go of the jade skull in his hand, but instead placed it on the ground, tightly pressed against his own legs.

  If it weren't for this jade skull emitting a cool aura, Xu Hua might have turned into a pile of ashes by now. Although Xu Hua had full confidence in the "Nine Deaths to Heaven Record", he didn't dare to joke about his own life, and only with this jade skull could he feel at ease.

  As the earth fire surrounding the "Nine Deaths to Heaven Record" was slowly drawn over, it attached itself to Xu Hua's body. At this moment, he had already stripped himself bare, and the flames began to scorch his body. Xu Hua immediately felt an extreme pain that swept through his mind once again. Fortunately, the jade skull by his legs transmitted a cool sensation that made him feel much better. Meanwhile, the Life Crystal inside Xu Hua's body emitted a large amount of life energy to repair his entire body.

  Half a time period had passed, and Xu Hua felt that he had already entered the state at this moment. His body was gradually strengthening under the scorching fire of the jade skull. He slowly picked up the jade skull and put it aside, and the severe pain came again. Even with the repair of life energy, the severe pain could not be repaired.

  Xu Hua gritted his teeth and continued to operate the "Nine Deaths to Heaven Record". At this moment, although he was in pain, there was no great threat to his life. The spiritual pain was just unbearable, but after practicing for a while, he immediately picked up the jade skull next to him. Suddenly he felt much better, and stopped practicing, panting heavily.

  Huuu... Haaa~!

  "It's really too dangerous, if I didn't have the Crystal of Life, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on for a moment, how could I cultivate then! Fortunately, there is this Jade Skull, when I can't bear it anymore, I can stop and rest for a while!" Xu Hua held the Jade Skull again, and once more mobilized the Crystal of Life inside his body to repair the injuries he had just suffered.

  Xu Hua had just put down the jade skull for a while, and his body was severely burned. Fortunately, he had the existence of the Crystal of Life, and under the repair of the life energy, the parts that were burned by the earth's fierce fire began to slowly recover their vitality.

  Xu Hua had over 1,200 Life Crystals in his body, so he didn't have to worry about running out of them anytime soon. After all, each Life Crystal was equivalent to the total amount of life energy within a Martial King's body!

  Another half-hour passed, and Xu Hua finally recovered from his injuries. "Although this is self-torture, I can feel my strength slowly increasing! This 'Nine Deaths to Heaven Record' is indeed a top-notch extraordinary skill! However, not everyone has the ability to cultivate it!"

  "These days won't be lonely anymore!" Xu Hua let out a soft sigh. Yes! When experiencing such extreme pain at every moment, who has time to think about anything else?!

  In fact, Xu Hua wanted to condense the true liquid and strive to open up the Tian Di Xuan Guan as soon as possible to become a Wu Wang. This way, he could also leave this place early. However, in the midst of the earth's fierce fire, how could he calm his mind to cultivate? He could only throw this idea out of his mind.

  "Luò Chéng are you alright at this moment? Xiǎo Yíng where are you right now?"

  Xu Hua let out a soft sigh and immediately put the jade skull aside, starting to cultivate the "Nine Deaths to Heaven Record"!

  While Xu Hua was cultivating, outside was not peaceful.

  Less than ten people who came to hunt for treasure this time returned alive.

  On the way back, Wu Ding Chengfeng said to the gray-robed old ancestor of the Wu Ding clan: "Old ancestor, this time we got this spiritual instrument, but at the same time some people escaped and returned. This is a huge threat to our Wu Ding clan!"

  Grey-clothed Wu Zun pulled him along, flying through the air as he spoke: "The powers behind these people are not strong, they probably won't dare to oppose my Wudeng clan. What's most important is that after obtaining this Golden Halberd Blood Lance, my Wudeng clan's overall strength has greatly increased. As long as we wait for that old guy from Chengtang Valley to pass away, this Luocheng will be my Wudeng clan's domain. After we take down the Niu clan, Xu clan, Mingyang Sect, and Chengtang Valley, in the entire Shanguo, I'm afraid only the royal family will be stronger than us."

  "That's already very good, after all, the entire country is the royal family!" Wu Ding Chengfeng was already very satisfied with this result.

  Hui Yi Wuzun heard this and slightly furrowed his brow, wanting to say something but restrained himself.

  Cough, cough!

  But at this time he coughed up another mouthful of blood.

  "Old Ancestor, how are you?!" Wu Ding Chengfeng was somewhat anxious. The grey-robed martial grandmaster wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said: "This time I'm heavily injured, after returning, it's likely that I won't be able to recover within a year or two!"

  He immediately sighed and said: "I didn't expect that among this group of people, there was actually a hidden master of knife skills. After returning, let Wenqiang investigate his identity."

  "Is Lao Zu very powerful? (Baidu search for the book name + Thief of Dreams to see the latest updates)" Wu Ding Chengfeng's strength was actually weaker, and he couldn't feel the greatness of those people at all.

  The Grey Robed Martial Honoured One's eyes narrowed, a hint of murderous intent flashing across them as he said, "He is not yet a force to be reckoned with now, but in a few years it may not be the case. Once we've investigated his identity, let the other old codgers take care of eliminating him!"

  "Hiss......!" Wu Ding Chengfeng took a deep breath and exclaimed: "The Old Ancestor actually attaches so much importance to that person!"

  Grey Robed Martial Master remained silent, carrying Wu Ding Cheng Feng quickly flying towards the distance.

  On the other hand, Luo Cheng met Bai Qiutang.

  "Where's Luo Cheng and Xu Hua?"

  "The young master has fallen into the fiery pit and is probably reduced to ashes by now." Luo Cheng's voice was icy cold, his entire being exuded an aura of chilliness, as if he didn't have a shred of warmth in him.

  "How is this possible!" Bai Qiutang was shocked and let out an incredulous voice.

  "Gongzi died to save me! Wuding clan!!!!! I, Luo Cheng, will exterminate the entire Wuding clan in this lifetime!"

  "Count me in, I've never suffered such a huge loss either!"
