Chapter 709: You have made a contribution, I must reward you
Yu Liangce burst into laughter, "If you had a way, you wouldn't be here wasting your words with me."
"You claim to have a method to break the Immortal Boat's barrier, so why don't you show us?"
Facing Yu Liangce's provocation, Lu Chen was unperturbed, and then he said, "Very well, I will show you now how I break through your Immortal Boat's barrier!"
Hearing Lu Chen's confident tone, even Yu Liangce couldn't help but frown, wondering to himself if the Sum Emperor truly had a method to break through the barrier of the Immortal Boat.
Impossible, to break the Immortal Boat's barrier would require full force attack, and the Tianchen World could not withstand that woman's full-strength strike.
He didn't believe the Sum Emperor would risk the Tianchen World just to break through the Immortal Boat's barrier.
The Sum Emperor was most likely bluffing.
With this thought, Yu Liangce felt reassured.
At this moment, Su Hanyan also curiously watched Lu Chen, eager to know what means Lu Chen had to break the Immortal Boat's barrier without damaging the Tianchen World.
While everyone was watching Lu Chen, his eyes suddenly turned purple. Seeing this, Yu Liangce instantly realized something was wrong, recalling Yun Xianxian's Heart Controlling Skill, and quickly closed his eyes.
But it was already too late. Although he closed his eyes quickly, not everyone in the Immortal Boat did the same.
Those Disciples of Xuan Yue Palace who had been watching Lu Chen all fell under the influence of Lu Chen's Heart Controlling Skill. Compared to Yun Xianxian's, Lu Chen's skill was even more terrifying, being able to control large groups of people once mastered fully.
Then, Lu Chen manipulated those affected disciples to actively attack Yu Liangce. Yu Liangce had just closed his eyes, and upon realizing something was wrong, he opened them again.
He quickly turned to look behind him and saw that the disciples next to him were being manipulated. Yu Liangce swiftly drew his sword and swept it at those controlled Disciples of Xuan Yue Palace.
As Yu Liangce took action, the barrier of the Immortal Boat thinned a bit. Although the Immortal Boat's barrier didn't need constant attention to maintain, if something went wrong with the person controlling the boat, the boat's barrier would be affected as well.
Currently, the control of the Immortal Boat lay with Yu Liangce. Since Yu Liangce was compromised, the boat naturally was affected too.
Lu Chen then smiled and said, "No matter how solid a fortress, it can always be breached from within."
At this moment, a few disciples who were not yet influenced saw what was happening and quickly stepped in to help Yu Liangce, preventing the controlled disciples from getting close to him.
Seeing the continuous changes in the Immortal Boat's barrier, Su Hanyan also readied herself to attack. As soon as the barrier vanished, she would strike immediately.
The disciples of the Xuan Yue Palace controlled by Lu Chen weren't very strong. Although the Heart Controlling Skill could manipulate people, there needed to be a significant gap in realm. Even for cultivators of the same realm, only those with a weaker will could be slightly affected.
Despite their lower realms, they were enough to cause trouble for Yu Liangce. Seeing his controlled disciples being killed one by one, Lu Chen didn't waste more time and directly controlled them to self-destruct their Dantian.
Self-destructing their Dantian in the limited space of the Immortal Boat's barrier would be more powerful, especially with so many Heavenly Man Realm cultivators involved. Although it was unlikely to kill Yu Liangce, a cultivator of the Myriad Laws Realm, it could still inflict severe injuries on him.
Just as Yu Liangce was about to kill all the disciples controlled by Lu Chen, he suddenly noticed a disciple in the distance turning crimson red, and Yu Liangce immediately sensed the danger. Read latest stories on My Virtual Library Empire
"Not good! They're going to self-destruct!"
Before Yu Liangce could finish speaking, the disciples of the Xuan Yue Palace had already self-destructed, and the sounds of booming echoed instantly within the Immortal Boat's barrier, disrupting the internal formation.
Though the Immortal Boat's barrier was solid, its internal formations were not as stable. A slight disturbance to the formations could cause the barrier to disappear.
With Lu Chen controlling so many Heavenly Man Realm cultivators to self-destruct at once, the internal formations of the Immortal Boat naturally could not withstand it, and soon the barrier began to flicker in and out of existence.
Seeing this scene, Su Hanyan no longer held back and immediately stimulated her Sword Qi.
Sky Cleaving Slash!!!
A gigantic sword of light descended from the sky, aimed directly at the Immortal Boat. Yu Liangce and his companions hadn't even had time to react before they were crushed to dust by Su Hanyan's Sword Qi.
After the ravaging Sword Qi subsided, the state of the Immortal Boat came into view, with no one on it left unscathed; the Immortal Boat itself was crushed into countless fragments.
Lu Chen used Shadow Shifting and appeared in front of a piece of the Immortal Boat's wreckage. He inspected the materials used to construct the Immortal Boat and muttered to himself, "These are indeed some fine materials."
At this moment, Su Hanyan also arrived in front of the wreckage of the Immortal Boat. Seeing the scattered materials, she too felt a twinge of desire.
In this lower world, the materials for making an Immortal Boat were naturally exceptionally precious.
If she could get hold of these materials, she might be able to build a smaller Immortal Boat on her own without relying on Lu Chen; then, she would be able to leave the Tianchen World.
Thinking this, Su Hanyan said, "Your Majesty, the Immortal Boat is already destroyed and of no use, why not bestow these remnants upon us at the Misty Immortal Sect."
Hearing Su Hanyan's words, Lu Chen turned to look at her and then smiled, saying, "Sect Master Su, you've got quite the scheme brewing."
"Although this Immortal Boat is destroyed, the materials it was made from are treasures. If I were to give the materials to your Misty Immortal Sect, wouldn't you be able to build an Immortal Boat?"
Seeing her intentions seen through by Lu Chen, Su Hanyan sighed in her heart. This man truly has the Heart Controlling Skill, knowing everything she thought without any privacy left.
At this moment, she also thought of the mind control Lu Chen had just displayed, feeling even more certain about her guess. Lu Chen had the ability to manipulate the hearts of people; naturally, it was normal for him to see through others' thoughts.
Just then, Lu Chen waved his hand, and the wreckage of the Immortal Boat disappeared on the spot.
Seeing this, Su Hanyan was slightly taken aback.
Spatial manipulation?
Does Lu Chen possess such a large spatial container?
The debris of the Immortal Boat was substantial, yet Lu Chen easily stowed all of it away.
However, considering that Lu Chen possessed the Feihong Immortal Boat with an Artifact Spirit, having such a large spatial container didn't seem strange.
What Su Hanyan didn't know was that what Lu Chen used wasn't a spatial container but a child world.
The child world that he and Chu Yuqin had jointly nurtured was growing larger, and both he and Chu Yuqin could place objects inside the child world, both possessing control over it.
Having stored the debris of the Immortal Boat, Lu Chen moved behind Su Hanyan and wrapped an arm around her waist, "Sect Master Su has helped me so greatly, how should I repay you?"
Feeling the growing enthusiasm from Lu Chen, Su Hanyan hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I still have matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. Defending against invaders is my duty as a cultivator of the Tianchen World. Your Majesty, no need for thanks."
Thanks?
Did she not know what Lu Chen's "thanks" entailed?
Lu Chen said, "No, you've made a significant contribution, and I must reward you. If I don't, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the cultivators everywhere? Who would then step forward to achieve merits?"
Su Hanyan then said, "Your Majesty, I..."
Before Su Hanyan could finish her sentence, everything before her eyes went dark. When light reappeared, she found herself pinned down on the dragon bed in the Black Dragon City Imperial Palace by Lu Chen.
