Invincible Martial King

Even if it was an expert of Indestructible Stage, the price paid for deducing the Heavenly Mystery multiple times was not small, let alone the fact that Elder Yan was trying to find Lu Chen's whereabouts. The deductions he was making also involved the endless power of space and time.    

    

However, even after paying such a heavy price, Elder Yan still did not discover the slightest trace of Lu Chen. The latter seemed to have completely disappeared.    

    

This was an endless black space.    

    

There was no sunlight, no flowers, trees, and even more so, nothing in this world. It was like a land of exile, where one could not even see one's hand, nor sense time, nor the existence of life or death.    

    

There was only endless darkness and coldness.    

    

When Lu Chen woke up, he realized that he was deep inside a huge rock, and the rock was like a small boat floating in the void. Looking around, it seemed to be outside of the darkness, and the sound of strong winds could be vaguely heard.    

    

"Where is this place?"    

    

"Isn't this the ancient cave dwelling?"    

    

Lu Chen frowned and was about to use his soul force, but in the next second, his expression changed. His Peerless Martial Spirit seemed to be suppressed by some kind of invisible force, making it hard for him to use his soul force.    

    

"What's going on?"    

    

"I can't use the power in my body anymore."    

    

Lu Chen's expression was uncertain. Being in an unfamiliar environment and unable to use his power, there was nothing worse than this.    

    

"Hehe …"    

    

Suddenly, a faint laughter, like a stone that had fallen into the water, rippled and reverberated in the air.    

    

Lu Chen's eyes narrowed and his body tensed up like a bowstring. Other than him, were there any other creatures here?    

    

"Who is it?" Lu Chen felt uneasy and shouted to the surroundings.    

    

"Young people don't have to be so nervous."    

    

"If I hadn't helped you, you would've died in the depths of endless space and time." Along with the voice, a ray of light suddenly appeared in the darkness in front of Lu Chen.    

    

It was a milky white light, as if someone had ignited a torch in the middle of the night, dispersing all the coldness.    

    

Even though the other party said so, Lu Chen did not let down his guard. In his line of sight, the milky white light gathered together and eventually formed the appearance of an old man.    

    

"Who are you?"    

    

"Who am I?"    

    

The old man thought for a moment. His eyes became distant and deep, as if he was reminiscing about the past. He said solemnly, "You can call me the Eternal Universe Divine Monarch."    

    

"Monarch Eternal Universe?"    

    

Hearing that, Lu Chen's face darkened. He could not help but sneer, "It's just a tiny wisp of soul. You dare to call yourself a Monarch?"    

    

"Hmm?"    

    

"You can actually see through my current condition?" The old man's eyes revealed a look of astonishment. Although his current state was like a flickering candle flame that could be extinguished at any time, to a mere martial cultivator from the lower realms being able to see through it was truly unbelievable.    

    

The old man's eyes shined as he sized up Lu Chen and smiled: "As expected of a young man with spiritual roots, I didn't choose the wrong person."    

    

"Spirit root?" Choose me? "    

    

"What do you mean?"    

    

Lu Chen frowned as he kept having the feeling that the other party was harboring malicious intentions.    

    

"This is your spirit root." The old man laughed, and then the tip of his finger began to shine as it began to rotate like the universe. It astonishingly was exactly the same as the Peerless Martial Spirit in Lu Chen's body.    

    

"How did you see through my Peerless Martial Spirit?" Lu Chen's face sank. He had the means to cover up the presence of the Peerless Martial Spirit, but this old man could actually see through his Peerless Martial Spirit.    

    

One had to know that even the indestructible could not easily see through his Peerless Martial Spirit s.    

    

"Peerless Martial Spirit? Is this the new name for the people of your lower realms? " The old man glanced at Lu Chen and said to himself, "Although this old man is just a wisp of my soul, I am definitely not wrong in my perception of Spiritual Roots."    

    

"You have spiritual roots, which is rare even in the Upper Realms."    

    

"But unfortunately …"    

    

"What's a pity?"    

    

Seeing that Lu Chen was interested, the old man smiled and said, "It's a pity that you didn't bring out the real use of your spiritual roots."    

    

"Otherwise, how could your current strength be so weak?"    

    

"Weak?"    

    

Being looked down upon in such a manner, Lu Chen did not show any signs of anger. Instead, his expression became unusually calm.    

    

In his previous life, he was a Martial Emperor with extraordinary experience and knowledge. According to the records of the limited history books, Peerless Martial Spirit of the Great Perfection Stage were called Spiritual Roots countless of years ago.    

    

The old man in front of him was mysterious, as if he had different opinions on Peerless Martial Spirit s and spirit roots. Lu Chen wanted to hear what he had to say, so he lowered his voice: "I would like to hear this senior's opinion."    

    

"He's a clever boy." Hearing this, the old man's eyes revealed a look of admiration, and then he said in a calm voice, "Spirit roots are the innate spiritual roots that all cultivators dream of. Cultivators with spirit roots not only cultivate several times faster than ordinary people, but their comprehension ability is also extraordinary. The most important thing is that spirit roots have the ability to avoid heavenly tribulation.    

    

"Avoiding heavenly tribulation?"    

    

In his previous life, when he became a Martial Emperor, he had searched for a way to break through the shackles of Martial Emperors and found countless ancient texts. Among them were some related rumors that the realm above Martial Emperor was to defy the heavens, and every time he broke through a level, he would experience countless Life and Death Tribulations.    

    

If Peerless Martial Spirit were to have the same spirit root as the old man, wouldn't they be able to avoid the risk of a great calamity?    

    

"In the cultivation world, one would go against the heavens. Tribulation Lightning is the most unavoidable life or death tribulation. Just this alone is enough to make countless people yearn for it."    

    

The old man sensed Lu Chen's fluctuating emotions and continued to say with a smile, "Although your spiritual roots have untapped the potential of speed, you haven't completely unleashed your most fundamental power."    

    

"It's hard to find even one cultivator with spiritual roots. If you can develop the potential of spiritual roots, then your cultivation speed will be much faster than it is now."    

    

"Since we are destined to meet, this old man shall help you."    

    

That seemingly ordinary finger attack made Lu Chen's expression change. That finger seemed to have traveled across layers of time and space and directly landed on his forehead. Even if he wanted to resist, he didn't have any strength to do so.    

    

He could only watch helplessly as the finger landed on his forehead.    

    

BOOM!    

    

The finger did not just land on Lu Chen's forehead, it also landed on his body like a Peerless Martial Spirit. The Peerless Martial Spirit, which was suppressed by some kind of energy, seemed to receive a steady stream of energy at this moment.    

    

At this moment, Lu Chen only felt the Peerless Martial Spirit's power was too strong, it made his body feel like a furnace. The terrifying hot light rushed out of his body and rushed into the endless dark space.
