Chapter 8: Fusing the Essence Blood of Pangu, Breaking Through the Physical Limits!

After Zhu Chen left.

Sarutobi Hiruzen immediately ordered that today’s events be sealed off, including the news of Danzo’s death.

Afterward, he personally summoned Naruto and restored his status as the "Hero's Son."

Naruto now had a powerful figure backing him; there was no longer any need for them to worry about the boy's safety.

In truth, Sarutobi Hiruzen had his own little calculations.

The reason he chose to compromise in front of Zhu Chen earlier, aside from the sheer intimidation Zhu Chen exerted, was due to another factor.

Naruto was a ninja of their Hidden Leaf Village.

If the boy had a powerful figure behind him, didn't that mean their Hidden Leaf Village had a powerful figure behind it as well?

Although Danzo’s death was a pity.

They had, however, gained a much more formidable ally because of it.

This was a deal that was definitely not a loss.

"Damn it, that dead-last is actually the Fourth Hokage’s son? How is this possible..."

At the Konoha Academy training ground, Uchiha Sasuke slammed his fist hard into a wooden stake, leaving his knuckles dripping with blood.

He had thought Naruto was just like him—an orphan with no one to care for him.

He never expected that in just half a day, that dead-last would become the son of a hero.

...

Meanwhile.

In the Perfect World.

After returning from the Naruto world, Zhu Chen discovered that his place of cultivation was already surrounded by many people.

The Fire Emperor, Huo Ling'er, and those Array Formation Realm experts of the Fire Nation had almost all gathered here.

"Zhu Chen, where did you just go? You scared me to death; I thought you had been kidnapped by someone."

Seeing Zhu Chen return, Huo Ling'er immediately trotted over to him and asked with concern.

Zhu Chen glanced at the Fire Emperor and the others who had gathered around and asked, "How long have you all been here?"

Huo Ling'er blinked: "Less than half an incense stick's time, why?"

"It's nothing."

Zhu Chen reached out and patted Huo Ling'er’s head.

This girl had grown up with him since childhood and always liked to stick by his side, only refraining from disturbing him when he was in closed-door cultivation.

With her coming over proactively this time, and even the Fire Emperor personally showing up, it was likely that those secretly protecting him had reported his mysterious disappearance.

Zhu Chen felt deeply grateful for the concern shown by the Fire Emperor, Huo Ling'er, and the others.

He could feel that these people truly treated him like family.

"Zhu Chen, did you just practice some kind of spatial divine ability?"

At this moment, the Fire Emperor also walked over with the others.

"Yes."

Zhu Chen nodded faintly.

He did not reveal anything about the chat group.

Because there were too many powerhouses in this world.

If word got out that he possessed a cross-world chat group, there was no telling who might target him.

Back then, Shi Hao was coveted by countless great sects just for obtaining the complete Kunpeng Technique. Since he had not yet grown strong enough, he had to be cautious.

"I didn't expect you to have mastered a spatial divine ability while still in the Blood Moving Realm. Not bad."

The Fire Emperor looked at Zhu Chen with great satisfaction, then raised his hand and presented a bottle of golden liquid to him: "This is Golden Body Liquid, which can further temper the physical body. I heard from Ling'er that you want to break through the extreme limit of the Blood Moving Realm; this item might be of help to you."

Looking at the bottle of Golden Body Liquid handed over by the Fire Emperor, Zhu Chen felt a slight stir in his heart.

This Golden Body Liquid was an extremely precious item, even among the great sects of the Upper Realm like the Heaven Mending Sect.

Based on his understanding of the Fire Nation's current situation, it was impossible for the Fire Emperor to possess such a thing.

Clearly, to obtain this bottle of Golden Body Liquid, the Fire Emperor must have paid a significant price.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. If one day I achieve success in my cultivation, I will definitely protect the people of the Fire Nation for all eternity!"

Zhu Chen put away the Golden Body Liquid and looked at the Fire Emperor with a serious expression.

"Good. With those words from you, I can rest easy."

The Fire Emperor nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction on his face.

Then, he changed the subject and reminded Zhu Chen: "However, you don't need to put too much pressure on yourself. Just do your best in everything. Your attainments in the Blood Moving Realm have already surpassed those of pure-blooded creatures, reaching the perfection of the extreme limit. Very few have ever broken through the physical extreme limit; if it cannot be done, don't force it. When the time is right, success will come naturally..."

After saying this, the Fire Emperor turned and left with the people of the Fire Nation.

"Zhu Chen, I'll go back to the Imperial Palace and wait for you. Remember to come find me to play when you're done cultivating!"

Huo Ling'er made a playful face at Zhu Chen before trotting off after the Fire Emperor.

"This girl..."

Zhu Chen shook his head with a smile.

He and Huo Ling'er had built a deep bond over these seven years.

And he could feel that this affection was not merely familial.

In the past, he only thought about cultivation, seeking only transcendence, and did not pay much mind to romantic entanglements.

But now that he had the 'More Children, More Blessings' system.

His path of cultivation would certainly have to change.

"Shi Hao, you are the one destined to face the tribulation; women will only affect the speed of your cultivation. Let me bear the karma of these seven emotions and six desires for you!"

Zhu Chen sat cross-legged and took out a drop of blood that radiated a brilliant golden glow.

This drop of blood was the 'Pangu Essence Blood' that the system had previously rewarded him with!

Pangu was the creator god in prehistoric mythology, his power surpassing all saints.

In this world, perhaps even those powerhouses beyond the Sacrificial Dao could not compare to him in the slightest.

Although it was only a drop of essence blood.

It contained a trace of the 'Origin of Strength' from when Pangu created the world!

If he could refine it to wash his marrow and forge his bones.

It would surely allow him to obtain ultimate power in his physical body like never before!

Thinking of this, Zhu Chen did not hesitate and decisively fused the 'Pangu Essence Blood' into the center of his brow.

"—Boom!"

In an instant.

A terrifying, suffocating blood energy erupted from Zhu Chen and spread in all directions.

Immediately after, a beam of dazzling blood-red light descended from the firmament, piercing through layers of clouds and mist, and landed directly on Zhu Chen with an unstoppable momentum, firmly shielding him within.

This blood light began to continuously cleanse his body and temper his bones.

Sonic booms began to erupt from within his body, as if countless thunder dragons were roaring inside, deafening to the ear.

However, those outside could not perceive these events.

Because the moment Zhu Chen fused with that drop of Pangu Essence Blood.

His body had become completely isolated from the outside world.

In the eyes of the Fire Nation experts secretly protecting him, he was merely sitting cross-legged, performing simple breathing exercises with no abnormalities.

A moment later.

The blood light shrouding Zhu Chen began to retract rapidly, finally sinking entirely into his body.

The moment Zhu Chen opened his eyes again.

A large pool of black, filthy impurities flowed out from his body.

At this moment, his body had finally been completely reborn, surpassing all ancient creatures.

Even the Ten Evils of the Immortal Ancient era could not compare to it.

His potential had been infinitely elevated.

Furthermore.

His physical strength had also broken through its limits under the tempering of the Pangu Essence Blood.

Now, with just a flick of his arm, he could unleash a terrifying force exceeding 200,000 jin.

And this was not the limit.

His physical body now possessed the power of creation.

As long as he had enough resources to absorb, his physical strength could continue to rise.

There was no upper limit!

From now on, there would no longer be any talk of an 'extreme limit' for his physical strength!
