Nine Regions Sword Emperor

"I have no intention of disturbing you. I have come here today only to ask for a fragment of the Tower of Destiny..."

Chu Fengmian's gaze fell upon the palace and cave dwelling atop the mountain.

The owner of this fragment of the Tower of Destiny is located within this palace cave.

But before Chu Fengmian could finish speaking...

Suddenly, those eleven stone statues...

They all seemed to have come back to life.

They all looked up at Chu Fengmian in the sky.

Immediately, the eleven stone statues raised their countless weapons, and the power of the eleven stone statues erupted, transforming into a huge formation.

Within this formation stood a colossal figure, a composite of eleven statues, with a blue face and fangs, hundreds of arms growing from its back, and even faces growing on either side of its face and behind its head.

It has eleven faces and hundreds of arms, each holding countless weapons, making it look incredibly creepy.

Chu Fengmian sensed the power of this stone giant alone; it was no less than that of a supreme expert.

"interesting."

Seeing the power of the stone giant before him, Chu Fengmian smiled and looked at it with interest.

An inanimate object.

How could it possess power comparable to that of a supreme expert?

The power of this stone giant statue before me.

It is even stronger than the power of the Shadow God in the Shadow God Array of Shadow City.

The Shadow God Formation can suppress and seal the Demon Ancestor for billions of years, partly because the Demon Ancestor himself was severely injured by Shadow City and was sealed in the Shadow God Formation.

On the other hand, it is also due to the special nature of the Shadow God's power, the power of lifelessness, which is an extremely troublesome power for other martial artists, even for the strongest.

The Shadow God Formation can be hailed as the strongest formation, largely because it is related to the power of non-life.

If the power that constructs the Shadow God Array is not the power of lifelessness, then the power of the Shadow God Array will be greatly weakened.

Even the power of the Shadow God is not as strong as the stone giant in front of him. The power of this stone giant has reached the level of a true supreme expert.

"Although it is an inanimate object that needs the power of an array to maintain, it seems to have incorporated much of the flesh and blood of a supreme expert? It's more like a puppet, or rather, a puppet avatar?"

Chu Fengmian's gaze swept over the stone giant statue. With his current experience, he could see the reason for the stone giant's power.

That was him. Although he was an inanimate object and looked like a puppet constructed from an array, he was actually infused with the flesh and blood of many supreme beings.

The flesh and blood of these supreme beings belong to one person, namely, the master of this stone giant, the master of this cave, the Lord of the Flame and Dark Realm.

The Lord of the Dark Flame merged a portion of his own flesh and blood into this stone giant, which is why the stone giant possesses power comparable to that of a supreme being.

Of course, the Lord of the Dark Flame Realm must have paid a heavy price to complete these eleven stone statues. It is unknown how many treasures he must have consumed to forge these stone statues that could withstand the power of the flesh and blood of the strongest beings.

The power of the strongest is not something that can be easily borne.

Chu Fengmian could understand why the Lord of the Dark Flame Realm would pay such a high price to complete these eleven stone statues, even at the cost of sacrificing his own flesh and blood.

For many supreme experts, their strength stagnates after they reach the supreme realm, regardless of any opportunities they receive or their secluded cultivation.

It has all lost its meaning, making it difficult to further improve one's strength.

Just like the Blue Flame Ancestor, his strength remained unchanged compared to when he fought the Demon Ancestor in the Primordial Era. On the contrary, the Demon Ancestor, imprisoned by the Shadow God Array for billions of years and obtaining a suitable weapon, was able to break through and rebuild, further enhancing his strength.

Without these two fortuitous events, it would have been difficult for the Demon Ancestor to improve his strength.

The Lord of the Dark Flame Realm is the same.

Therefore, after he could no longer improve his own strength, the Lord of the Dark Flame Realm ultimately chose to rely on the power of external objects to enhance his strength, which is why he crafted these eleven stone statues, which eventually transformed into this stone giant.

This stone giant, now fused with the flesh and blood of the Lord of the Dark Flame, is essentially an avatar of the Lord of the Dark Flame. However, the strength of this avatar is already comparable to that of the Lord of the Dark Flame's original body.

With the addition of the Flame and Darkness Realm Lord's true form, the moment these eleven stone statues were completed, the Flame and Darkness Realm Lord would possess twice the power.

However, because the power of these eleven stone statues was consumed in an enormous way, the completed stone giant could not leave the range of this formation.

However, within the range of this formation, the stone giant possesses the genuine strength of a supreme expert, which is the choice made by the Lord of the Dark Flame after he found it difficult to improve his own strength.

"The Lord of the Flame and Darkness Realm?"

After seeing through the true nature of the stone giant, Chu Fengmian's gaze fell upon it, and he calmly spoke.

This stone giant is actually the Lord of the Dark Flame Realm, an avatar of the Lord of the Dark Flame Realm, and also possesses the consciousness of the Lord of the Dark Flame Realm.

"I will not give you the fragments of the Tower of Destiny. Leave now, and I can pretend you were never here!"

Just as Chu Fengmian finished speaking...

The stone giant opened its mouth.

Because of the stone statue, the giant's voice was extremely hoarse, but Chu Fengmian could still tell the attitude of the Lord of the Dark Flame Realm.

The Lord of the Dark Realm wants to hand over the fragments of the Tower of Destiny? No way.

In fact, it was at the very moment that the stone giant appeared.

Chu Fengmian already knew about the choice of the Lord of the Dark Flame Realm.

The fact that the Lord of the Flame and Darkness has used such a trump card is enough to demonstrate his attitude.

However, while the Lord of the Dark Realm was resolute, Chu Fengmian was equally so.

Even when facing a powerful figure like the Barbarian Lord, Chu Fengmian did not back down at all, let alone the Lord of the Flame Dark Realm.

"I must obtain the fragments of the Tower of Destiny today."

Chu Fengmian looked at the Lord of the Dark Flame Realm and spoke slowly and deliberately.

Although Chu Fengmian's tone was calm, anyone could hear the firmness in his words.

Furthermore, Chu Fengmian has always kept his word since he came to the other side.

"Don't you think your actions are too domineering?"

Upon hearing Chu Fengmian's words, the stone giant Yan An Realm Lord spoke again.

"The fragments of the Tower of Destiny belong to no one..."

"No, as the master of the Tower of Destiny, all the fragments of the Tower of Destiny will belong to me."

Before the Lord of the Dark Realm could finish speaking, Chu Fengmian immediately spoke up.

"If you're unwilling to hand it over, then I'll have to come and get it myself today!" (End of Chapter)
