Divine War Pill Emperor

Jiang Chen was lost in his Cultivation.

He was completely oblivious to his surroundings.

TAP... TAP... TAP...

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps approached.

But Jiang Chen still didn’t notice.

However, Zhan Yang and the others did.

They looked toward the sound and saw three figures slowly walking toward them.

The three men wore curious expressions, which turned to shock when they saw Jiang Chen examining the ancient characters on the wall.

After exchanging a look, they hurried over.

Zhan Yang’s expression changed. ’Damn it, those people left. Why are they back?’ Jiang Chen was in the middle of a comprehension and a Cultivation breakthrough. If these people suddenly interrupted him, it would be a huge problem.

But they saw that while one of the men was a Martial Master Third Heaven, the other two were at Martial Master Fourth Heaven.

They were no match for them at all.

Even so, Zhan Yang still led Lu Beifeng and the others to rush forward and block their path.

”What are you doing?”

The three men glanced mockingly at Zhan Yang and his group, their expressions full of disdain.

”Don’t worry, we’re not here for you.”

”We’re here for him.”

They said, pointing at Jiang Chen.

These three were the ones who had come to seize the Black Fire.

However, they had realized that with the Flame Dragon and Wen Shixuan, the Crown Prince of the Fire Sparrow Kingdom, their chances of obtaining the Black Fire were slim.

Even if they managed to get it, they might not live to escape with it.

So they had started looking for other opportunities.

They figured finding some other treasures here would be just as good.

A short while ago, they had felt the Ghost Temple tremble and immediately returned to the third level.

Sure enough, they saw Jiang Chen examining the ancient characters and apparently comprehending something.

It seemed Jiang Chen was the source of the tremors in the Ghost Temple.

They were instantly overjoyed.

They paid no mind to Zhan Yang and the others.

One of them, a man with a dark face, said, ”Boss, it’s this kid. He can definitely understand these ancient characters.”

”From what I can tell, these ancient characters must form a powerful Cultivation Technique.”

The other two were both tall and looked fierce.

They nodded.

”Indeed.”

”It must be a powerful Cultivation Technique. Our chances of getting the Black Fire this time are slim.”

”We’ve already lost seven or eight of our brothers and sisters on this trip. Finding another treasure means we won’t be leaving empty-handed.”

The three men stared at Jiang Chen with feverish eyes, but for the moment, they didn’t make a move. Instead, they just watched him.

”Well, I’ll be. This guy’s Cultivation actually broke through two levels in a row.”

The trio discovered something astonishing.

Their jaws dropped.

The dark-faced man said, ”Yeah, I remember this kid’s Cultivation was only at Warrior Seventh Heaven before, but now he’s already reached Warrior Ninth Heaven. He must have comprehended something from those ancient characters.”

”Such a heaven-defying Cultivation Technique ought to belong to us brothers.”

His greedy eyes gleamed with a bloodthirsty light.

”Look, his Cultivation is still advancing, and so quickly!”

”Damn, this Cultivation Technique must be absolutely heaven-defying.”

The dark-faced man asked, ”Boss, should we take him down now and force the Cultivation Technique he comprehended out of him?”

The leader waved his hand. ”No, let’s wait and see. Let him comprehend it completely. The technique will be even more powerful when we get it then.”

The three actually didn’t disturb Jiang Chen, but stood there watching him comprehend.

Meanwhile, Zhan Yang and the others remained on guard against the trio.

”Get lost! Don’t get in the way, or we’ll kill you right now.”

The dark-faced man waved his hand dismissively at Zhan Yang’s group, shooing the four of them away like flies.

But fearing they might disturb Jiang Chen, they didn’t attack immediately.

Jiang Chen’s comprehension was extremely important to them as well.

After all, they were planning to force the Cultivation Technique from his lips. The longer he spent comprehending it, the more complete it would be.

And the more powerful it was, the more they would benefit.

Zhan Yang and his group heard their conversation.

Knowing the men wouldn’t disturb Jiang Chen for now, they breathed a sigh of relief.

However, they were still worried the men might suddenly attack, so they backed away slightly, keeping their guard up to protect Jiang Chen.

BZZZZ...

Another rumble echoed.

The aura around Jiang Chen surged once more.

”Incredible! The kid broke through again!”

The three men nearly cried out in alarm.

They had witnessed Jiang Chen’s breakthrough with their own eyes. By their count, he had now broken through three levels in a row.

He had reached the Martial Master realm.

This kind of breakthrough was terrifying.

The dark-faced man frowned.

”Boss, I think we should interrupt him. If he keeps breaking through at this rate, he might surpass us in Cultivation, and then he’ll be harder to deal with.”

He offered his opinion. After all, Jiang Chen’s breakthrough speed was simply too fast.

He was afraid Jiang Chen’s Cultivation would surpass theirs. If that happened, they could forget about forcing the technique out of him; they’d be lucky if he didn’t hunt them down.

The leader was clearly hesitant.

Interrupting Jiang Chen now would obviously affect him.

But if they didn’t, they were afraid Jiang Chen would break through too many times and become too difficult to handle.

”Let’s wait a little longer. Let him comprehend a bit more.”

”Besides, how could we let him surpass us? Even if his Cultivation breaks through to Martial Master Third Heaven, would the three of us—two at Martial Master Fourth Heaven and one at Martial Master Third Heaven—be afraid of him?”

They were still confident in themselves.

So they continued to let Jiang Chen comprehend.

BZZZZ...

This time, Jiang Chen’s comprehension was, one could say, unprecedented.

His Cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

At this moment, with another rumble, his body began to exude the aura of a Martial Master First Heaven.

It was important to note that this kind of comprehension, even with successive breakthroughs through several realms, would not affect his foundation.

In fact, this kind of comprehension offered immense benefits for his future Cultivation.

Jiang Chen wouldn’t suffer from a cultivation deviation due to advancing his Cultivation too quickly.

HUUUU...

Jiang Chen tried to continue breaking through, but he had already fully comprehended Soul-Stealing, the third layer of the Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique.

He could no longer continue to break through.

His Cultivation stopped at the Martial Master First Heaven Realm.

Breaking through four consecutive levels was quite terrifying.

’What a pity.’

He secretly felt a hint of regret.

Still, the third layer he had just comprehended, Soul-Stealing, was a complete and extremely detailed Cultivation Technique. It would be of immense help to him.

It had refined his Nine Heavens Spirit-Seizing Technique considerably.

He would be able to avoid many detours in his future Cultivation.

The benefits for his future training would be numerous.

He took a deep breath and stopped.

”Kid, what Cultivation Technique did you comprehend? Tell us, quickly! Or else we’ll kill you.”

Just as Jiang Chen finished his comprehension, he vaguely heard someone speak.

He turned to his side and found himself surrounded by three men.

Of these three, one was a Martial Master Third Heaven, while the other two were at Martial Master Fourth Heaven.

He was stunned for a moment.

’I got so absorbed in my comprehension that I almost got ambushed,’ he thought, realizing he had let his guard down completely.

Seeing this, his expression instantly darkened.

”ARGH...”

At the same time, Jiang Chen noticed that Zhan Yang and the others had been knocked to the ground and seemed to be badly injured.
