Zhang Xuan's current injuries had been inflicted by the Ordeal of Lightning Armament. His muscles and bloodline had been severely damaged, making him similar to Vicious. Even though he was young and had the blood of countless Ancient Sages, it was still impossible for him to make a full recovery.
However, just because he was unable to do so did not mean that others could not!
Even Sovereign Chen Ling had been able to recover from his injuries within a short period of time with the help of the ritual. Did that mean that he would be able to tap into the same energy as well?
The god that I am praying to is bound to be able to lock onto my soul aura and energy. I was nearly killed by it earlier …
As soon as this thought popped up in Zhang Xuan's mind, he began calculating the chances of success.
He had never tried to tap into the energy of the god through a ritual before, but from how he had tried to stop Sovereign Chen Ling earlier, he could tell just how powerful the energy was.
Even though his fighting prowess was already on par with Blood Reincarnation realm primary stage cultivators, coupled with the Dragonbone Divine Spear, he would be invincible among Dimension Shatterer realm cultivators.
Unless …
I can disguise myself as Sovereign Chen Ling! As long as my aura and bloodline are identical to that of the god, I'll be able to absorb the energy that the god infuses into me …
A glint flashed across Zhang Xuan's eyes.
He had a trump card, and that was the disguise amulet that Lozosy had given him.
Even though the amulet had been reduced to a mere skeleton, it was still usable.
"Let me give it a try!"
Unable to hold himself back any longer, Zhang Xuan drove his zhenqi to transform his skeleton into Sovereign Chen Ling's appearance. Be it appearance or soul aura, there was no difference at all.
"Young Master?"
Sovereign Chen Yong was stunned.
He had been following the Spirit God for a long time, so he knew that the other party possessed such a disguise amulet. He did not think that even a skeleton would be able to disguise itself as Sovereign Chen Ling.
"Un."
With a smile on his face, Zhang Xuan could not be bothered to say anything more. Instead, he charged right into the depths of the black hole.
Weng weng weng!
The black hole had blocked his attack previously, but this time around, it did not seem to have any intention of stopping him at all.
"As expected …"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in excitement.
It seemed like the disguise amulet that Lozosy had given him was of a higher tier than the god that Sovereign Chen Ling had prayed to. That was why the other party was unable to see through his disguise, thinking that it was Sovereign Chen Ling himself.
"Haha!"
After passing through the ripples, Zhang Xuan arrived directly below the black hole. As he absorbed the energy from above into his body, he could feel his fleshly body recovering at a visible rate. His drained essence, qi, and life force were also greatly nourished.
"At this rate, it won't take more than ten minutes for me to recover to my peak condition, or perhaps even improve further …"
His eyes lit up.
Even though Zhang Xuan's injuries were severe, it was fortunate that he was still young. On top of that, the unique recovery ability of the Heaven's Path Divine Art allowed him to absorb the energy generated by the ritual, allowing him to heal much faster than Sovereign Chen Ling.
"You …"
While Zhang Xuan was in the midst of absorbing the energy from the Heaven's Path, he suddenly felt a furious gaze directed at him. Turning around, he saw Sovereign Chen Ling looking at him with a constipated expression.
The power that came from the worship of the gods was considered a blessing from the gods. At this time, one couldn't make a move, lest they incur the wrath of the gods and be torn to shreds. Thus, they could only watch.
Look …
But … if he could only watch helplessly as Zhang Xuan snatched away his healing power, Sovereign Chen Ling felt like committing suicide.
For a mere skeleton to disguise itself as him, such that not even the gods were able to detect it … What in the world was going on?
Can anyone tell me what is going on?
Who am I? Where am I?
"Shameless!"
Unable to hold himself back any longer, Sovereign Chen Ling bellowed furiously.
"Yes, Sovereign Chen Ling is shameless!"
Zhang Xuan nodded.
"I am Sovereign Chen Ling!"
Seeing the other party admit to it so calmly, Sovereign Chen Ling felt as if he was going to go insane.
"Very well, you are Sovereign Chen Ling!"
Zhang Xuan couldn't be bothered to waste time with Sovereign Chen Ling, so he continued absorbing the energy.
Given Sovereign Chen Ling's current condition, he could go on a rampage at any moment. Thus, it was fine as long as he was happy.
Whatever you say is right, I'll just focus on absorbing it.
Gugugugu!
The energy emanating from the black hole swirled around Zhang Xuan, forming a vortex that swiftly absorbed all of it.
Under the cover of Zhang Xuan's zhenqi, Sovereign Chen Ling's muscles and bones swiftly recovered.
His head, shoulders, arms, chest … As Zhang Xuan absorbed more and more energy, he felt as if he had been reborn.
It just so happens that I should alter my meridians to resemble those of Zhao Ya …
With a thought, Zhang Xuan began altering his meridians to resemble those of Zhao Ya.
As the structure of one's body was fixed, even though he had been able to alter it previously, it was limited to a very small area. However, with the regeneration of his meridians, he was able to alter them as he pleased. In fact, he was able to alter them much more smoothly than when Zhao Ya was using the Dongxu Vine.
As more and more of his muscles and meridians recovered, pure Zhenqi of Slaughter gushed out from his meridians, making him look like a deity.
"Is this the purest form of Zhenqi of Slaughter?"
"There hasn't been such a pure Zhenqi of Slaughter ever since Senior Vicious was killed!"
"Could he be … the reincarnation of Senior Vicious?"
"With such bloodline power, there's no doubt that he's an Emperor …"
…
The Otherworldly Demons who had doubted Zhang Xuan's identity as a master teacher were completely convinced by his words.
How could such a pure Zhenqi of Slaughter possibly belong to a human?
Only a true Emperor would possess such capability!
Huala!
All of the Otherworldly Demons kneeled on the ground.
Regardless of whether it was due to Zhang Xuan's teachings or the pure Zhenqi of Slaughter, they no longer harbored any doubts toward the young man who was impersonating Sovereign Chen Ling.
Seeing how the young man before him was not only impersonating him but also earning the respect of his own subjects, Sovereign Chen Ling was on the verge of going insane.
Others might not know who the young man before him was, but he knew full well that the young man before him was the number one genius of mankind. To think that the young man before him would actually earn the respect of the entire Otherworldly Demons …
"Even if I have to offend the gods, I'll have you dead!"
Seeing how the young man was absorbing more and more of the Zhenqi of Slaughter, Sovereign Chen Ling couldn't hold himself back anymore. Disregarding whether he would offend the gods or not, he charged forward with his claw-like hand.
Boom!
The space around Sovereign Chen Ling exploded.
Even though Sovereign Chen Ling's rate of absorption wasn't as fast as the young man before him, he had still managed to recover from most of his injuries after such a long period of time.
"Wait a moment, I'm just two calves away from fully recovering. I'll make a move after I've recovered!"
Not expecting the other party to be so impatient, Zhang Xuan frowned. He swiftly dodged the attack before opening all of his acupoints to absorb the Zhenqi of Slaughter once more.
This time, his rate of absorption was even faster than before.
He was currently impersonating Sovereign Chen Ling, so he couldn't rely on his clones, weapons, or even Vicious. As such, while it was impossible for him to kill the other party, it wouldn't be that easy for the other party to kill him either.
"Wait for your head!"
Seeing how the young man before him was so brazen about stealing the strength that he had gone through so much trouble to obtain, Sovereign Chen Ling flew into a frenzy.
