The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 369 Becoming Demonized!

The strange-looking man glared at Chu Xun, and his aura became furious.

Chu Xun stood far away. As the strange-looking man was tied up by a chain, Chu Xun was not afraid that he would hurt him.

“Kid, you’re going to die right there!” the strange-looking man said angrily.

Chu Xun gave him a disdainful smile and glanced at him coldly. Then, he sat down cross-legged, wanting to remove the Poison of Fire inside his body.

The strange-looking man looked at Chu Xun quietly and pursed his lips in disdain. He could tell what Chu Xun was going to do.

“Kid, with your current cultivation, it’s simply impossible for you to remove the Poison of Fire.”

Chu Xun ignored him and began to practice the Hong Meng Scripture. The Poison of Fire had already begun eroding his soul.

Inside his body, those furious elements of fire were consuming and eroding his Spiritual Body, aiming at his heart and spreading toward his brain, like invisible demon tentacles.

Buzz!

Gushes of Immortal Qi wandered inside his body and spread around, beginning to suppress those demon tentacles.

The Hong Meng Immortal Qi was indeed very powerful that it actually dissolved those elements of fire. Chu Xun could not help but feel delighted about it.

However, what made Chu Xun’s head ache was that there were so many elements of fire that the suppressing speed of Hong Meng Immortal Qi was much lower than the eroding speed of the elements of fire.

As a result, his attempt to refine those fire elements with the Immortal Qi failed completely and didn’t solve any problem.

“Kid, I suggest you save some strength,” the strange-looking man said sarcastically. “With your current refining speed, it’s only a matter of time before you’re eroded by the foul aura and end up like me.”

Chu Xun opened his eyes. The strange-looking man was right. The Poison of Fire was so dense here that it was impossible for him to resist it with his Body of Soul. However, Chu Xun was certain that the strange-looking man’s cultivation was unfathomable; otherwise, he would have become demonized long ago.

“You talk so much nonsense.” Chu Xun ridiculed him.

The strange-looking man glared at Chu Xun and yelled angrily, “Kid, just wait! You will die there!”

Chu Xun sneered and said, “Even if I die, my physical body will still be on Earth. My family and friends will build a tomb for me. My name will remain forever and I will be admired by people all over the world. What about you? How long can you hold on? You’re now half human and half demon, and you will become a demon completely sooner or later. At that time, you will die here alone, and no one in the world will remember you. You’re just a poor wretch.”

After the strange-looking man heard this, his aura began to rage, and his eyes became slightly bloodshot.

“Sooner or later, I’ll go back to the Assembly of Immortals and let them give me an explanation.” The strange-looking man roared with strong resentment.

Chu Xun sneered coldly. “Go back to the Assembly of Immortals? You’re trapped here like a watchdog. It’s not certain whether you can leave here or not. Even if one day you manage to make it back to the Assembly of Immortals, you’ll probably be regarded as a devil that everyone should kill as you now look like neither a human being nor a ghost.”

“Shut up!” The strange-looking man roared and rushed toward Chu Xun. Unfortunately, he was bound by the chain.

Chu Xun withdrew a thousand meters back. The strange-looking man’s skill was very powerful, and previously, Chu Xun had once been caught by the red light released by him.

Seeing that he couldn’t reach Chu Xun, the strange-looking man growled angrily. His eyes turned scarlet and he became demonized.

Chu Xun looked coldly at the furious man and the corners of his mouth curled up. He found a huge rock and jumped onto it to sit down cross-legged.

He began to practice Hong Meng Scripture to refine the Poison of Fire. Although the refinement was slow, it could slow down the eroding speed.

The strange-looking man was still roaring, looking like a wild beast. The chains clattered as he moved, as if they were going to break apart.

Chu Xun entered a meditative state like an old monk. He refined the Poison of Fire with his mind in peace and managed to hold out for an extra day.

The day passed quickly.

Two days.

Five days.

...

The strange-looking man now was as quiet as when Chu Xun first met him, as if he couldn’t hear anything and wouldn’t move.

Chu Xun woke up, and he was even weaker than he was a few days ago. He glanced at the strange-looking man with a red glint in his eyes.

He understood his current situation. The Poison of Fire was even more terrifying than he had imagined. His refining speed was too slow. After the Poison of Fire entered his body, he would often feel an urge to kill.

He knew he had been affected by the poison and gradually became demonized. He was trying his best to control it, but it didn’t work out.

In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed. Terrifying red light would frequently rise around Chu Xun’s body. Half of his Spiritual Body had already been invaded by the Poison of Fire.

On the 15th day.

Chu Xun woke up again, but he was no longer sober. His eyes shone with red and purple light.

He couldn’t hold on any longer. The erosion caused by the poison was too severe.

On the 20th day.

“Kill!”

Chu Xun’s eyes turned completely red. Terrifying red light which was caused by Poison of Fire rose around his body.

He got up and ran all the way toward the heartlands of the Subterranean Devils Clan.

He was even faster than before now. In the blink of an eye, he had run several hundred miles.

Roar!

A demonic beast noticed Chu Xun. It was a lion-headed, tiger-tailed monster, as big as a mountain and surrounded by a roiling foul aura. The monster was very powerful.

“Kill!”

Chu Xun charged at the monster and forgot that he was only a Spiritual Body now. There was only killing intent in his mind.

The monster roared and raised its huge claws, slapping at Chu Xun with a horrible tearing force.

Chu Xun raised his hand and released a purplish-red beam of light. Foul aura billowed all over his body.

Boom!

A world-shaking collision happened. The vicious beast roared in pain. Chu Xun’s attack left a terrifying bloody hole on its huge claw, blood splashing around.

“Kill!”

Chu Xun’s aura was even more tyrannical than that of the ferocious beast in front of him. His eyes gleamed with red light, making him look like a demon.

There was only killing desire in his mind. He raised his hand and struck furiously. Rays of light left terrifying wounds on the beast’s body.

The beast became furious and attacked with its claws. Its foul aura exploded and lava spewed out of its mouth, melting the ground.

Puff!

Blood rained down all over the sky. Chu Xun ripped off one of the monster’s legs, and he was covered in blood.

Puff puff...!

The monster let out a mournful scream as Chu Xun tore it into pieces.

Chu Xun looked at the ground that was covered with broken limbs. A strange smile appeared on his face, making him look especially sultry.

Then, his figure flashed and disappeared from the place.

A while later, he appeared at the place where he had met the demon ant army. Facing the swarming demon ants, Chu Xun went completely crazy.

Streak after streak of purple light struck the ground. The phoenix of fire burned out the sky while the Demon-slain Finger split the ground apart.

Large amounts of devil ants were turned into ashes.

Chu Xun fought his way out and went deep into the heartlands of the Subterranean Devils Clan.

“Roar... who is it that dares to trespass my territory?”

A human-shaped man, as tall as a mountain and with a leopard’s head and a snake’s tail, roared at Chu Xun with a mace that was several meters long.

Chu Xun’s scarlet eyes glittered a few times and regained their usual color, but soon they became scarlet again.

“Kill!”

Chu Xun raised his head and roared. He rushed slashing towards the strange-shaped man and raised his hand, causing purple ripples to appear. It was a terrifying sight to behold.

Roar!

The strange-shaped man raised his head and roared. He tried to hit Chu Xun with his terrifying mace but hit on the ripple.

Boom Boom...!

With a series of big explosions and rolling storms, the mace was knocked away, and the strange-shaped man was knocked back.

Chu Xun was thrown a hundred meters backward, his feet leaving terrifying gullies on the ground.

At this time, Chu Xun was even more terrifying than a beast. There was only the desire to kill and destroy in his mind.

He charged out again, forming a fist signet with his hands, smashing it down powerfully.

Poom! Poom...!

The strange-shaped man was very strong. At the very least, he wasn’t much weaker than Chu Xun. The mace struck out again and again, emitting a destructive aura.

Chu Xun confronted it with his fists, a foul aura surging around him. Wherever he passed, the rocks were shattered into broken bits, and the impact caused many huge holes on the ground.

Boom!

With another terrible collision, the strange-shaped man’s mace was shaken out of his hand, Chu Xun was sent flying, and blood kept gushing between his thumb and index finger.

The mace flew back into the strange-shaped man’s hand as he waved his hand. He walked to Chu Xun with one step and smashed toward his head with the mace.

Although Chu Xun’s mind was in disorder, he still knew how to fight. He moved sideways with a whoosh and dodged the attack.

Boom!

Broken stones were blown away and the ground was trembling. The strange-shaped man smashed a huge stone that was several meters high into pieces with his mace.

A terrifying devil aura enveloped Chu Xun’s entire body. He leaped high into the air and threw dozens of punches in succession, which sank into the body of the strange-shaped man.

“Explode!”

A dull explosion came from the strange-shaped man’s body with the loud shout.

Thump! Thump...!

The strange-shaped man screamed in pain and staggered. The ground burst open where he stepped.

He became very furious. He turned around and swung the mace in his hand. Chu Xun met the mace with his fists, but was knocked away and crashed into a protruding rock, causing it to explode.

Puff!

The strange-shaped man spat out a big mouthful of blood mixed with the minced meat of his internal organs. Those fist imprints that exploded in his body had hurt his internal organs seriously.

“Who the hell are you? Why do you want to kill me?” The strange-shaped man roared.

Chu Xun laughed oddly and leaped up from the pile of rubble. He pounced on the strange-shaped man and raised his hand to form a magic signet.

Boom!

The void shook as the giant finger pressed downward.

The strange-shaped man roared and raised his mace to hit the giant finger that was coming at him. The two collided and exploded. The strange-shaped man screamed. He was blown up and covered in blood, and his weapon was knocked out of his hand.

Chu Xun showed a creepy smile. The ground under his feet exploded, and he rushed into the air, continuously brandishing his fists. Fist imprints landed on the strange-shaped man’s body one after another, blood scattering everywhere.

The strange-shaped man screamed miserably. He waved his fan-like hands and slapped Chu Xun, who was coming down from the sky, into the ground. He pressed Chu Xun with his left hand and hit the back of his left hand with his right hand.

Poom! Poom...!

The earth trembled as horrible cracks began to stretch away.

After hundreds of attacks, the strange-shaped man stopped. When he raised his hand, Chu Xun was covered in blood and several meters deep into the ground. His breath was weak, but he had a strange smile on his face.

Boom!

The ground exploded, and Chu Xun rushed out. When he landed on the ground, he staggered backward. His Spiritual Body was covered in cracks as if it were a glass full of cracks and about to shatter at any time.

“Kill!”

Chu Xun roared and once again threw himself at the strange-shaped man, fighting with him.

Puff!

Chu Xun ripped off a large chunk of the man’s flesh.

Boom!

He shot away horizontally, smashing apart the giant rock. The cracks on his Spiritual Body became even more obvious.

Chu Xun attacked time and time again without the slightest fear of death.

Horror-stricken, the strange-shaped man shouted angrily, “I’m a subordinate of the Fourth Demon Lord. Who the hell are you?”

Chu Xun didn’t say a word but only stared at him with a sly smile.

“Are you from the Third Demon Lord’s side?” the strange-shaped man asked angrily, his voice carrying fear.

In his eyes, Chu Xun was simply a devil who didn’t say a word and was not afraid of death, and even he, who had always been bloodthirsty, was frightened.

This time, what answered him was still a fierce fist.

Poom! Poom...!

The earth cracked, and sand and stones flew everywhere.

The strange-shaped man roared and screamed incessantly.

Chu Xun shot away horizontally and smashed into the huge rocks several times. Again and again, he got up from the rubble and rushed to the strange-shaped man.

Puff!

The ground turned red with blood as the strange-shaped man fell to the ground face-up. His huge body caused the ground to tremble, and there was a terrifying blood hole through his chest.

Chu Xun shot out horizontally once more and smashed the huge rocks. He was submerged by the rubble and could not stand up again.

With the last blow, Chu Xun forcefully broke the heart of the strange-shaped man, and he was slapped away by the man as well.
