Chapter 59: Heaven-Swallowing Earth-Devouring, the Overbearing "Chaos Heaven-Swallowing Manual"

Taking a deep breath, Chu Chen dispersed the true essence gathered in his palm and completely restrained his Killing Intent.

Looking down at Yu Youwei, who remained kneeling on the ground in shock and terror, Chu Chen spoke calmly.

"Since when could you see through to the Spiritual Roots within another's body?"

Sensing the Killing Intent recede from Chu Chen, Yu Youwei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly replied.

"R-reporting to Master... it was from the moment Master gave me that healing Pill. That was when my eyes... underwent a mutation."

"Master, is this change a blessing or a curse? Will I bring trouble to Master? If..."

Before Yu Youwei could finish, Chu Chen waved his hand, forcefully cutting her off.

"Do not speak of this matter to anyone. Let it rest here!"

"Enough. Invite Zhang San and the others inside."

Yu Youwei froze. She hadn't expected Chu Chen to let her off so easily. However, since she had spoken the absolute truth, she didn't dwell on it. She quickly rose, bowed deeply, and withdrew from the secret chamber.

"Yes, Master!"

After Yu Youwei left, Chu Chen reactivated the Formation and awakened the supreme extreme emperor weapon within his body, the Heaven-Swallowing Magic Jar, enveloping the entire secret chamber and obscuring the heavenly secrets.

Yu Youwei's eyes were clearly extraordinary, and the energy contained within her pupils had yet to be fully awakened. Otherwise, their terrifying potential would likely be far beyond imagination.

However, Chu Chen did not dwell on the matter. Since he did not know the origin of these eyes and could not fully grasp their nature, he would temporarily set them aside.

For Chu Chen at present, elevating his own strength was the absolute priority.

Everything else could wait.

After all, so what if one was a genius? So what if one was a peerless prodigy?

As if he wasn't one himself!

He, Chu Chen, was the blazing sun hanging high in the nine heavens, radiating brilliant light in all directions!

All geniuses and prodigies, no matter who they were, would inevitably be overshadowed before him.

To this, there were no exceptions!

None at all!!

"P-paying respects to Senior Brother Chu Chen!"

"Paying respects to Senior Brother Chu Chen!"

"Paying respects to Senior Brother Chu Chen!"

...

Accompanied by a flurry of dense footsteps, seven disciples, including Zhang San, walked nervously into the secret chamber. Upon seeing Chu Chen, they all knelt on the ground in unison.

"Senior Brother Chu Chen, I, Zhang San, had eyes but failed to see Mount Tai! You are magnanimous; please spare us this once!"

"Senior Brother Chu Chen, we have long since cut ties with Feng Jiao and drawn a clear line between us."

"That's right! It was Feng Jiao who seduced us to obtain cultivation resources, forcing us to dual cultivate with her. She even wanted to climb into Senior Brother Chu Chen's bed. Hmph, does she even know her own worth?"

"Exactly! How could Senior Brother Chu Chen ever fancy a slut like her?"

...

Seeing Chu Chen's impatient expression, Zhang San and the others broke out in cold sweat. They exchanged panicked glances and rubbed their Storage Rings. Instantly, a large pile of Spirit Stones, Pills, and heavenly treasures appeared before Chu Chen.

However, these seven were merely inner disciples at the Essence Condensation Realm. The Spirit Stones they offered were mostly Middle Grade or even Low Grade, and the Pills and treasures were of the most common variety. Chu Chen couldn't even be bothered to glance at such trash.

"Senior Brother Chu Chen, these are the cultivation resources we have treasured. We hope you will kindly accept them."

"That's right! Senior Brother Chu Chen doesn't even put the Law Enforcement Hall in his eyes and is deeply trusted by the Palace Lord. Your future will surely be boundless, and breaking through to the Saint Realm is just around the corner!"

"We hope Senior Brother will be magnanimous and not hold our minor faults against us. We are willing to serve as your beasts of burden!!"

...

Facing the sycophancy of the seven disciples, Chu Chen waved his hand and said,

"Fellow Senior Brothers, there is no need to be nervous. I invited you all to my Chaos Peak today because I truly have a matter I need your help with."

Seeing Chu Chen staring at them with a smile and asking for their help, Zhang San and the others were stunned before completely relaxing.

Zhang San, the leader, even wore a confident and arrogant expression. He had already guessed that Chu Chen wanted to recruit them. After all, no matter how strong Chu Chen's background was, he was still a newcomer with zero foundation in the Red King Palace.

Wouldn't he need lackeys like them to do the dirty work?

If he had known earlier, he wouldn't have offered up those Spirit Stones and Pills. What a pity.

"Senior Brother Chu Chen, rest assured. No matter what it is, we will go through fire and water, and grind our bones to dust for you!"

"Senior Brother Chu Chen, does this mean you won't hold a grudge against us? You forgive us?"

"Senior Brother Chu Chen is truly benevolent! From now on, my life belongs to you. I am your dog! Woof, woof, woof!"

...

In the eyes of Zhang San and the others, latching onto Chu Chen's thigh meant they could walk sideways in the Red King Palace from now on.

This misfortune had truly turned into a blessing. The future was promising!

The corners of Chu Chen's mouth curled up slightly. He watched Zhang San and the others perform with a smile, extending a scarlet tongue to lick his lips.

"Fellow Senior Brothers, you exaggerate. Making mistakes... is perfectly normal."

His deep, star-like eyes were now filled with nothing but a demonic charm. He stared at Zhang San and the others as if they were prey, sending chills down their spines.

"In your next life... just be a little more careful~"

Whoosh-

The laughter came to an abrupt halt!

At that exact moment, the Heaven-Swallowing Magic Jar cast down streaks of dark light, completely binding the bodies of everyone in the secret chamber except Chu Chen.

Before Zhang San and the others could react, Chu Chen vanished into thin air.

When he reappeared, he was already standing behind them, his broad hand firmly gripping Zhang San's throat.

"Senior Brother Chu... Chen, spa... spare..."

Before Zhang San could finish, Chu Chen's voice-extremely evil and bone-chilling, as if echoing from the Nine Netherworlds-resounded through the chamber.

"Chaos Heaven-Swallowing Manual, swallow heaven and devour earth! Devour for me!!"

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

As the cultivation method circulated, a terrifying devouring force erupted from Chu Chen's palms. It forcibly ripped the spiritual power, blood qi, life force, and soul force from Zhang San's body, ruthlessly plundering and refining them for his own use.

Extremely pure energy surged continuously into Chu Chen's body. Correspondingly, Zhang San's body visibly withered at a rapid pace, instantly turning into a dried husk...

But even after he was reduced to a dried corpse and died completely, the Chaos Heaven-Swallowing Manual did not stop. Instead, it erupted with an even stronger and more terrifying devouring force, consuming Zhang San's mummified remains.

It squeezed out every last drop of blood and flesh, even crushing and extracting the essence from his bones, until Zhang San's corpse turned to ashes. He slowly disappeared into the secret chamber, leaving not a single trace behind, as if he had never existed...

"Ah!! Demon!"

"What kind of demonic technique is this? So evil!"

"Help! Help! I don't want to die yet!"

"Senior Brother Chu Chen, spare me! Spare me!!"

...

Witnessing Zhang San being devoured into ashes by Chu Chen, the sheer terror directly scared the remaining six disciples out of their wits. Miserable screams echoed throughout the secret chamber.

Wails filled the air.

But their bodies were bound by the Heaven-Swallowing Magic Jar. They couldn't escape even if they wanted to.

"This feeling is truly..."

After devouring Zhang San, Chu Chen felt the spiritual power, blood qi, soul force, and life force within his body all gradually growing stronger! Growing stronger!!

"Ecstatic... intoxicating!"

Extending his scarlet tongue to lick his lips, Chu Chen reached out and grabbed the second and third disciples. The Chaos Heaven-Swallowing Manual activated once again, harvesting their lives bit by bit.

"Ah!!"

"Ah!!!"

Miserable screams once again echoed through the secret chamber. But because the supreme extreme emperor weapon, the Heaven-Swallowing Magic Jar, obscured the heavenly secrets, no one could spy on the horrors happening inside.

After all seven of them, including Zhang San, were devoured into ashes, the spiritual power within Chu Chen's body surged once again!

In the blink of an eye.

It was time to break through again!!

Since the Chaos Heaven-Swallowing Manual was so overbearing, so powerful, able to swallow heaven and devour earth, forcibly plundering others' cultivation and Dao Fruits for its own use...

If it could devour the cultivation of Zhang San and the others, then...

Couldn't that Saint-grade flood dragon locked inside the Heaven-Swallowing Magic Jar also be devoured?!

Thinking of this, Chu Chen's heart pounded wildly!!
