Unyielding Defier in Martial World

However, at this time, Chu Chen did not seem to be that excited. His focus was not on killing the Martial Saint Elder. At the same time, he controlled the Flame Dragon Cauldron and floated above his head, blocking a large portion of the power of death. There was still a portion that was digested by Chu Chen.    

    

His fleshly body was incredibly old, but it had not melted. It was as if it remained at the same point, preventing the power of death from continuing to erode it.    

    

"The Spirit Core has changed."    

    

Chu Chen quickly checked on the inside of his body, only to see that the Spirit Core had more than doubled in size. In the depths of his body, that strange cocoon-like object emitted a strange energy, this energy was extremely profound, and after entering the Spirit Core's body, Chu Chen immediately felt a monstrous energy.    

    

It was because of this strange power that the Spirit Core had doubled in size. In this life or death situation, Chu Chen was able to use this opportunity to stimulate his vigorous spirit energy and use the Slaughter Sword Technique to kill the Martial Saint Elder.    

    

This was the first time the cocoon-like object had brought about such a change, and actually released a strange power. Chu Chen wanted to study this power, but it directly entered into the Spirit Core and disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it had assimilated with the body.    

    

Could it be that the inside of the cocoon was filled with this kind of power? Chu Chen could not help but guess, if it was really like this, then it was simply unimaginable. With just a slight wisp, it contained such a vast power, that would be so vast that it would be hard to predict.    

    

"Whatever. One day, I will reveal your true face."    

    

Chu Chen no longer cared about the cocoon, but he still did not get up, and continued to sit cross-legged.    

    

The Flame Dragon Cauldron, Black Sword, protected Chu Chen so that the power of death would not be able to invade it, but it was not all of it.    

    

This kind of feeling was incomparably terrifying. A person who came from a different world, was like flowing water, escaping from the point of his fingers in an instant. This kind of wonderful feeling brought Chu Chen enlightenment.    

    

All living things would perish one day. Plants could be reborn, because the roots were there, death was there, and death was there. If one's martial path was there, what would happen if their physical body was destroyed?    

    

This was also the reason why Chu Chen was not directly corroded by the power of death earlier. Otherwise, when the Flame Dragon Cauldron and the Black Sword collided with the Honored Warrior Elder, the power of death had already corroded him into a pile of bones.    

    

Chu Chen revealed a deeply perplexed expression between his brows. He felt that he had touched upon a completely different world, but he was still unable to grasp onto this feeling no matter how hard he tried.    

    

As the power of death continuously eroded over, Chu Chen's body did not move at all. Carefully comprehending the passing of time, within his body, within the Spirit Core s, the cocoon had not changed any further. It was the same as before, as if it was sleeping.    

    

Chu Chen guessed that perhaps because of his own insights, he protected the foundation of the martial way, allowing the power of death to erode away from his body. As long as the foundation didn't end, the real body would not die, and it was precisely because of this that he triggered the strand of energy from the cocoon. If he were to remove the Fire Dragon Cauldron now, all the Black Sword would leave the cocoon, allowing the power of death to erode his body.    

    

But Chu Chen did not dare do so, it was too risky. If the cocoon did not release that bizarre power, he would have fallen into an exceptionally dangerous situation.    

    

This was only Chu Chen's deduction. Supposedly, with his current cultivation and understanding of martial arts, he would not be able to reach this step.    

    

This was also where Chu Chen was at a loss. Because of this deduction and assumption, he felt like he had touched upon some kind of profound mystery.    

    

The passing of time brought about by the power of death almost caused Chu Chen to be possessed by the devil, making him wish to delve deeper into the mystery of rebirth from the dead to the dead.    

    

This sitting continued for a few hours. Chu Chen's brows were knitted tightly, he wanted to understand everything, but with his cultivation, he was unable to do so.    

    

The foundation was unending, the fleshly body indestructible, and time passed in the blink of an eye.    

    

Humans were also a type of existence that existed between heaven and earth. Why could plants and vegetation be reborn, but not humans?    

    

When plants and vegetation are reborn, they are not like their bodies before they withered, but they are born from the same root. If a person died, they could not be reborn. The root was weak, and if the body died, it would mean death.    

    

"Roots, yes, roots!"    

    

Chu Chen's mind boomed as he tried to make sense of the situation, his brows slowly relaxed. Death was not something that could be reborn, because it was not strong enough, Martial Vein, Spirit Core, spirit force, consciousness, these were all the foundations of a warrior, if it was strong enough, heaven and earth, how could a person's body be weak enough.    

    

The strong being respected, these were the four words that all martial practitioners understood. Since the day they were born, everyone had been instilled with a thought: the strong being respected.    

    

However, regardless of whether it was the school or the master, what they taught their disciples was to continue training. Their cultivation was high, and their martial skills were strong, so many people felt that the higher their cultivation, the stronger they became.    

    

His foundation was so strong that no one in the world could destroy him. He was truly a powerful expert. Just like plants and vegetation, even if he died in body, he could be reborn.    

    

Chu Chen finally understood this point.    

    

Although the plants and humans, and even the Demonic Beast, could not be compared, but they still had similarities; they were all a type of existence that existed between the heaven and earth.    

    

Chu Chen felt that he had come into contact with an even higher realm of martial arts, it was just that his current cultivation level was still not strong enough, so he was unable to completely understand it. All of these should be related to the myriad of things in the world and the Dao patterns.    

    

"His foundation is so strong that no one in the world can kill him. Even if his body is destroyed, he can still be reborn. Even Saints cannot do that. Although I understand that, I am still far from being able to reach that stage."    

    

Chu Chen sighed. Although this currently did not help him, but it did help him understand a type of direction and peak of martial cultivation.    

    

As a cultivator, if he wanted to be like plants and vegetation, immortal and indestructible, then the only way was to cultivate his foundation all the way to the limitless.    

    

At that time, the physical body would just be an empty shell. As long as the consciousness, soul, and body did not die, the physical body would be destroyed thousands of times.    

    

Chu Chen did not know, but with his current comprehension, even a saint would be surprised if they knew about it, because only a saint would know about the laws of this world, and Chu Chen, without anyone to teach him, had comprehended it all by himself. It was truly terrifying.    

    

What he cared about was that when the power of death eroded his flesh, the passing of time that came with it, allowed him to have a bold idea; whether or not a person could grasp hold on to time and turn it into a kind of concept.    

    

Concepts weren't just limited to weapons. There was another type, the Concept of All Things in the World. This kind of concept was also the one that was the hardest to grasp.    

    

Weapons, because it had been used with its owner for a long time, had a perfect compatibility rate. When using this weapon, it would bring along a unique domain that belonged to the weapon.    

    

As for the Concept of All Things, it was ethereal and hard to grasp. Chu Chen tried to master the concept of time and turn it into a kind of concept, the Time Concept.    

    

If the outside world were to find out, they would definitely sneer mercilessly. A martial artist at the fifth level of the Divine Martial Stage who grasped the concept of weapons was a genius of the world. If he still wanted to master the second concept, the concept of all living things was simply a joke. Even a Martial Respected Realm expert might not be able to do that.    

    

However, Chu Chen did not think too much about it. He had used the Flame Dragon Cauldron, the Black Sword s to block the power of death, but had left behind a trace of the power of death, just in order to experience the feeling of decline that occurred to his body over time. Now, he had a clue.    

    

If one did not try anything, one would never know if it would work.    

    

For ten consecutive days, Chu Chen was not even able to take a single step out of the Death Abyss!
