Chapter 664 (2/2)

At the physical particle level, each of his physical particles seemed to have been completely changed. They became four sided longswords, like Fang Xingjian’s Heaven-Connecting Sword Physique.

However, this change was only sustained for a couple of seconds. At the next moment, his physical particles had once again turned back to their original form.

‘The qualities of physical substances undergo huge transformations due to their structures.’

Through the many manuals left behind by the Mystic Abyss Heavenly Emperor, as well as those in the Full Moon Shrine, Myriad Star Palace, and the seven great clans, Fang Xingjian now had a deep understanding toward the methods of cultivating the physical body.

However, it all just boiled down to the merging of ether particles and physical particles, changing the structures of physical substances, creating different physical qualities, and eventually reaching a state where the body and the martial will were one.

At the next moment, Fang Xingjian’s physical body exploded abruptly. Then it gathered together once again while bringing in endless power from the ether particles, forming a faint human figure.

He had started the process of retempering his body.

…

Far away in the Imperial Capital, the First Prince stood in the training room, swinging his fists and kicking out with his feet. He was slowly cultivating the Ancient Path of Hell’s martial arts one step at a time, starting from scratch.

Although it was the most basic kind of martial arts, he did not appear dejected in the least nor did he hold it in contempt. On the contrary, he was extremely focused and serious in his practice.

Half an hour later, the First Prince stopped his movements, let out a long breath, and stopped his cultivation.

He walked up to a stone table at the side, had a short rest, and poured himself a drink.

The First Prince appeared very much at ease and did not show any signs of dejection due to having his martial arts crippled.

However, at the next moment, his eyes narrowed. He saw a piece of paper had been placed under the teapot without him noticing.

He picked up the slip of paper and saw that there was only a single word written on it—Shang.

Looking at the writing on the paper, the First Prince broke into a cold smile with contempt in his eyes.

…

In the Northern Ice Region, at the bottom of a huge frozen river.

The Fifth Prince was sealed under layers of icy mountains, and at an extremely low temperature of negative 200 degrees Celsius, the entire world seemed to be at a standstill.

At the next moment, the Fifth Prince opened his eyes abruptly, and two beams of cold light were unleashed from his body.

His entire body trembled furiously, then he charged out from the river bed, went through the icy mountains that weighed several million tons, and flew into midair.

As a long whistle rang out, cold air scattered out in all directions, and the icy mountains that weighed several million tons turned into endless ice and snow. They scattered out, causing snow to fall in the area within a radius of 1,000 lis.

“After laying low and exercising great endurance, I’ve finally succeeded.”

The corners of the Fifth Prince’s lips curled up into an evil smile. He had finally attained a breakthrough to the Divine level.

However, at the next moment, he turned his head abruptly to see a veiled lady in palace clothes standing there.

“Mother? Why have you come?”

The lady in palace clothes laughed coldly and said, “If I delay coming any longer, my son is going to become a worthless good-for-nothing. To think that a prince of the Empire isn’t able to win against a little b*stard and can only hide here to work hard in your cultivation?”

“Mother!” The Fifth Prince said furiously. “I’m only laying low for now. I’ve already succeeded in cultivating the Asura Way and attained the Divine level. Once I’ve strengthen the foundation of my cultivation, I’ll look for that Fang Xingjian to get my revenge.”

“There’s no need to do that. Even if you go now, you’ll just be courting death and get further and further away from the throne.” Saying that, the lady in palace clothes tapped out lightly with her finger, and a slip of paper floated down before the Fifth Prince.

There was only a word ‘Shang’ written faintly on that piece of paper.

“I have no either what your father is thinking either, allowing that Fang Xingjian to continue becoming stronger. Come with me to meet someone. He’ll have the means to kill Fang Xingjian.

“Only by killing Fang Xingjian and snatching away his trump card will you then have the chance to inherit the throne.”
