Chapter 5: The Dark Blood Age! Chapter 38: Seventeenth Nirvana! Son of the Elements!
"The day of terror: Chu Zhou, the Tyrant Sword, descended upon the Fog City, slaughtered four kings in succession, and annihilated the Ernst family, the 'Five Kings Family'."
"Chu Zhou, the Tyrant Sword, is so powerful in the Fog City that he cannot be stopped by any army and the Four Kings are invincible!"
"The 'Uncrowned King' Chu Zhou built his own throne with the bones of many masters of the Western underground world and the four kings!"
Less than an hour after the fall of the Ernst family, the headlines on all social media networks turned into content similar to the above.
Some headlines even came with photos and videos of Chu Zhou slaughtering mercenaries, killers, and the Four Kings.
Ever since the news of Chu Zhou's arrival in the Fog City and his killing spree spread, countless people have been following Chu Zhou's latest developments through the Internet.
When these headlines came out, they were immediately seen by countless people.
Suddenly, the world was boiling.
Although the Ernst family is not a martial god-level force, or even the strongest king force, there are still not many "Five King Families" in the world that have five kings at the same time.
Therefore, the Ernst family is well-known throughout the world.
Such a 'Five Kings Family' that has been famous all over the world for hundreds of years was actually destroyed by Chu Zhou. It would be strange if the whole world was not in an uproar.
Guangdong-Haikou base city.
Oriental Pearl Tower stared at the headlines on the webpage, lost in thought, unable to react.
Less than five hours after she sent Chu Zhou away, Chu Zhou actually did such an earth-shattering thing in the Fog City.
After a long time, she smiled charmingly, with a hint of pride on her face.
"You are worthy of being my man. You are destined to be the one standing at the top of the world!"
She murmured to herself, somewhat glad that she had acted in time to "take down" Chu Zhou. Otherwise, if she missed such a man, she might never have another chance.
In the Yang family, Yang Zhenzhen was also stunned at this moment, with her mouth wide open, which did not close for a long time.
"Chu Zhou, you are really an incredible person! I really don't know how far you will go in the future."
She was deeply amazed.
Suddenly, she remembered the message she received this morning.
Last night, Chu Zhou went to the Dongfang family to attend a birthday party. After announcing that he would become a consultant to the Dongfang family, he has not left the Dongfang family since then.
It was not until this morning that someone saw Dongfang Mingzhu seeing Chu Zhou off and leaving the Dongfang family.
"Sister Mingzhu, you didn't eat it secretly!"
She muttered to herself, vaguely feeling that something might have happened between Chu Zhou and Oriental Pearl.
For some reason, she felt a little upset.
On this day, Tang Yuanqing, Nie Ying, Dugu Lan, Xia Meng and other kings, as well as Ling Zhan, Shi Meng, Li Qingshi and others, all knew about Chu Zhou's "great achievements" in the Fog City, and they were all shocked.
…
Foggy city!
In an ancient castle that is much larger than the Ernst family's castle.
More than twenty Western kings gathered here.
If news of such a gathering were to spread, it would probably shock the world.
More than twenty Western kings sat around a huge round table, each with a solemn expression.
"Everyone, those who came here today either have a grudge against Chu Zhou or against that person. In short, we are all Chu Zhou's enemies... The purpose of today's gathering is also very simple, which is to discuss together how to kill Chu Zhou."
The speaker was a king in a white suit. His name was Filippo de' Medici, and he was from the Medici family.
The Medici family's headquarters is not in the foggy city, but in the city of Florence.
After learning that Chu Zhou had destroyed the Ernst family, he immediately became restless and rushed from Florence City to Fog City to organize and participate in this gathering targeting Chu Zhou.
The Ernst family has a grudge against Chu Zhou, and so does the Medici family.
Now that the Ernst family has been destroyed by Chu Zhou, Chu Zhou’s next target may very well be their Medici family.
He would feel uneasy if he didn't destroy Chu Zhou as soon as possible.
"This is the West, our territory. Chu Zhou actually dared to act so recklessly in our territory, especially destroying the Ernst family. This has violated our bottom line ."
A king covered in a black robe said coldly.
"Find him and kill him!"
Another king said.
Soon, these twenty or so kings reached a unanimous agreement: their families would mobilize all their forces to find Chu Zhou's whereabouts, and then join forces to kill Chu Zhou.
After the party ended, countless warriors from the Western world went out to conduct a carpet search in the eight major base cities in the West, looking for Chu Zhou's trace.
The Fog City Base City, in particular, is the focus of search by many Western warriors.
This commotion was too big to be concealed, and soon countless netizens around the world knew that there were more than twenty top forces in the West who were looking for Chu Zhou and wanted to join forces to kill him.
All of a sudden, many people who supported Chu Zhou began to worry about him.
"These Western forces are too arrogant. They actually dared to join forces to hunt down the peerless evildoer that we humans have finally given birth to. If it were in the past, with the three major martial arts schools and the human alliance in control of the situation, how could they dare to be so arrogant?"
"Yes. Chu Zhou is the key training target of the Battle Axe Martial Arts School... If in the past, with the protection of the Battle Axe Martial Arts School, even if those Western forces were bold enough, they would not dare to deal with Chu Zhou in such a high-profile manner."
Many people sighed and missed the old days.
After the 'Day of Great Change', the three major martial arts schools and the Human Alliance were severely suppressed by the Crescent Organization, the Earth Organization, and the Shadow Alliance. They had to shrink their power and temporarily lost control of the global situation, causing many powerful families and forces to become arrogant.
Especially those forces that have openly or secretly joined the three major organizations, now they are ignoring the existence of the three major martial arts schools and the Human Alliance, and are acting recklessly.
…
Outside the foggy city, there is the shallow sea area.
At this moment, Chu Zhou was hiding in the shallow sea outside the foggy city.
He had long known that after destroying the Ernst family, he would most likely become a thorn in the eyes of Fog City and even some Western families. Many Western families probably wanted him dead.
In particular, he was seriously injured after fighting with the four kings of the Ernst family.
This is the best time to kill him.
Those Western families who want to kill him will definitely not miss this opportunity.
Therefore, after destroying the Ernst family and taking away all the treasures in the Ernst family treasury, he directly let the Thousand Star Vine take him into the earth, left the Fog City from the depths of the earth, and came to this sea area.
If it is a land wilderness area, it is the territory of monsters.
Then the ocean is a paradise for monsters.
Compared to the wilderness areas on land, the monsters in the ocean are truly endless, and there are also countless unknown beast kings and beast emperors hidden inside.
Therefore, the ocean is also known as a forbidden zone for humans.
Human warriors will hunt monsters in large numbers in the wilderness areas on land.
But basically no one would enter the ocean to hunt monsters.
Even kings and human martial gods rarely set foot on the ocean.
Because there are so many monsters in the ocean, more than ten thousand times more than on land, and hunting monsters in the ocean can easily attract the attention of other monsters and be surrounded by endless monsters.
Even the king and the human god of war would most likely perish once they were surrounded by an endless tide of beasts.
What's more, there are many beast kings and beast emperors hidden in the ocean.
This is also the reason why Chu Zhou chose to hide in the ocean.
He knew that in the entire West, there was no place safer than the ocean.
Of course, he only dared to enter the shallow sea area and did not dare to go to the deep sea area.
Although there are many monsters in the shallow sea area, it is close to the land. If the situation is not right, he can break out of the siege as quickly as possible and then return to the land.
At this moment, Chu Zhou was about 500 meters below the sea.
The Thousand Star Vine opened up an underwater space on the seabed, and then wrapped up this space like a giant seaweed to prevent Chu Zhou's breath from leaking out and attracting underwater monsters.
Chu Zhou sat cross-legged in the space wrapped by the Thousand Star Vine, silently practicing the Black Hole Breathing Technique, absorbing the cosmic energy in the void and recovering from his injuries.
In this battle, he and Kaman-Ernst almost ended up in a draw. If he had not relied on the black hole breathing method and the powerful endurance of the crescent bloodline, which gave him a slight advantage over Kaman-Ernst and eventually killed the opponent, the final result would be hard to predict.
However, even so, he was seriously injured.
Fortunately, his physical body had completed four nirvanas and cultivated the seventh level of the Titanium Golden Body [Tianji Body]. It was extremely powerful and had amazing recovery ability. Therefore, after three days and three nights of repair, his injuries were finally completely healed.
Chu Zhou slowly opened his eyes, and two rays of light burst out from his eyes.
"It's a bit risky to destroy the Ernst family this time."
"Fortunately, I succeeded in the end!"
"And the harvest is not small!"
As soon as he thought about it, his spiritual thoughts appeared in the space inside his body. Twelve drops of ruby-like blood essence exuded a strong kingly pressure.
These are twelve drops of the Beast King's blood.
It was also the biggest trophy he obtained from the Ernst family treasury this time.
Although the blood of the Beast King is not as good as the blood of the Beast Emperor, it is also an extremely precious treasure.
All the blood in a beast king's body must be refined and concentrated by advanced scientific equipment to form a drop of beast king's essence blood.
Every drop of the beast king's blood contains immense vitality and energy.
If a boundary cultivator has the help of the beast king's essence and blood when he is trying to become a king, then the probability of being promoted to a king will increase significantly.
This was also the main reason why the mercenaries and killers from the Western underground world could not resist the temptation and chose to take the risk to kill Chu Zhou after several top forces in Fog City took out ten drops of Beast King's blood as bait.
It’s a pity that Chu Zhou’s strength is far beyond their imagination.
Therefore, they are now all corpses.
"With these twelve drops of the beast king's blood, I should be able to complete nirvana a few more times."
Chu Zhou muttered to himself, and as soon as he thought about it, he took out a drop of the beast king's blood from the space in his body, and then opened his mouth and swallowed it.
Then the second drop!
The third drop!
The fourth drop!
…
It took Chu Zhou a whole day to refine all twelve drops of the Beast King's blood.
The attribute points in the attribute panel also increased dramatically.
[Attribute points: 65.6 million (+64.8 million)]
"It actually increased by 64.8 million attribute points, which is more than expected!"
Looking at the skyrocketing attribute points, Chu Zhou was ecstatic.
Next, he chose three SSS-level breathing methods, namely "Thunder Breathing Method", "Heaven Breathing Method" and "Hell Breathing Method" without hesitation to study.
These three books of breathing techniques are all among the world-famous ten SSS-level breathing techniques.
However, the main reason why he chose these three books of breathing techniques was not because of their reputation and power.
Instead, these three books of breathing techniques correspond to the three elements of thunder, light, and darkness.
He has completed the nirvana of the six elements: gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and wind.
If he can complete the nirvana of the three elements of thunder, light and darkness.
Then, he would have completed the nirvana of all nine elements.
Chu Zhou began to comprehend the three books of breathing techniques. After gaining understanding, he followed the usual practice and integrated the mysteries of the three books of breathing techniques into the Black Hole Breathing Technique through the attribute panel.
Then, use the attribute panel to enhance the power of the three elements of thunder, light, and darkness until the elemental nirvana is completed.
With enough attribute points, the process goes smoothly.
Three days later, Chu Zhou completed the nirvana of the three elements of thunder, light and darkness.
However, he still did not leave the seabed.
There are still 20.6 million attribute points left, which is still enough for him to complete Nirvana.
This time, Chu Zhou once again chose to explore the attributes of his physical body, preparing to undergo physical nirvana once again.
Uncovering new physical attributes is much more difficult than comprehending three breathing techniques.
It took Chu Zhou five full days to discover a new attribute of his physical body - defensive attribute.
Then, through the attribute panel improvement, he completed the nirvana of the physical body again.
[Name: Chu Zhou (a person who has reached the seventeenth level of Nirvana, life field energy 237000 (+40000))]
[Attribute points: 5.6 million]
[Physical Nirvana: Five Nirvanas (strength, speed, agility, recovery, defense) (cannot be upgraded)]
[Elemental Nirvana: Nine Nirvanas (gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, darkness) (cannot be upgraded)]
[Spiritual Nirvana: Three Nirvanas (cannot be upgraded)]
…
This time, Chu Zhou completed three elemental nirvanas of thunder, light, and darkness, as well as the defensive nirvana of the physical body.
The total number of his Nirvana experiences reached seventeen times.
His life field energy also increased by 40,000, reaching 237,000, exceeding the intermediate king's standard of 200,000.
What surprised Chu Zhou the most was that after completing all nine elemental nirvanas, he felt as if he had become the son of elements and was extremely close to the elements of nature.
The power of any element he can mobilize now far exceeds that of the past.
His overall strength also underwent a huge leap.
Now, if he faced Kaman-Ernst again, he was sure that he could destroy the opponent into ashes within five moves.
"Presumably, those Western families are frantically searching for my whereabouts!"
"Haha, now I'm going to reappear, but I don't know if they will be surprised by this?"
Chu Zhou smiled coldly, put away the Thousand Star Vine in an instant, then turned into a residual shadow and broke out of the sea.
In fact, Chu Zhou’s guess was correct. The more than 20 top Western forces were really going crazy looking for Chu Zhou.
Not only did they mobilize all the power of their respective families, they also offered high prices to get many Western forces to take action and conduct a dragnet-like search in the eight major base cities in the West.
Groups of Western warriors roamed every corner of the eight major Western base cities, almost turning the eight major Western base cities upside down.
