Ling Xiao could still accept the Yuan Venerate's explanation.
He had always been able to challenge people of a higher grade because his internal strength was stronger than other martialists of the same grade.
Forget it. Being able to reach the mid-stage of the 12th level of the Infernal Realm was already pretty good.
It had only been one trial in the Demonic Sea Mystic Realm, yet he had already broken through a major boundary. Anyone who heard of this would treat it as a miracle.
About two months ago, Chen Cangxiong's cultivation had only been at this level.
In these two months, given Chen Cangxiong's aptitude and talent, as well as the nurturing of the Chen Nation's five elders, he would definitely have made a breakthrough. He might even have reached the peak of the 12th level of the Infernal Realm.
Ling Xiao knew very well that others couldn't stop advancing while he was improving.
It was just that his speed of improvement was faster.
Two months ago, he had needed to use the Bloody Rat Devil Art. Furthermore, Chen Cangxiong had been in a hurry to end the battle and had shown a flaw. That was how he had been able to turn the tables.
However, that had been a fluke.
Actually, his chances of winning back then had been less than 10%.
However, if he were to meet Chen Cangxiong again, his chances of winning would definitely be more than 50%.
This was progress!
Even if the people around him were also improving, it would be enough as long as he improved faster.
What he needed to do next was to cultivate the Demonic Dragon Possession and ultimately obtain the Demonic Dragon Sword.
The Demonic Dragon Sword was also a mortal-grade Thearch weapon like the Blood Thunder Emperor Sword and the Eight Immortal Swords.
However, even weapons of the same grade had differences in quality.
The Demonic Dragon Sword was one of the most outstanding weapons. Only it could contend with the Chen Nation's King Sword.
Although that sword had many names, such as the Thunder Emperor's Sword and the Emperor's Sword, it still referred to that one sword.
The Thunder Attribute King Sword!
As long as he could obtain the Demonic Dragon Sword, Ling Xiao wouldn't lose to Chen Cangxiong in terms of weapons.
He had a grudge against the Chen Nation's royal family, but more importantly, he wanted to take the Chen Nation for himself.
This was his grand ambition. He would destroy anyone who dared to obstruct him.
He was a tyrant, not a benevolent king!
A tyrant was needed to conquer the world!
A king was more suitable to govern the world.
Conquering the State of Chen was just a small step on his path to becoming a hegemon.
Not to mention the Profound World, even the Black Tortoise Continent was filled with experts and countless countries.
In the entire Black Tortoise Continent, this tiny Chen Country was merely the lowest ranked country.
Even in the Western Regions, the State of Chen was only ranked at the bottom among the tens of thousands of countries.
It was mentioned earlier that the ones who truly controlled the western region were the nine forces known as the Nine Supremes!
The Chen Nation was meant for him to practice his skills. If he couldn't even take down the Chen Nation, there was no need to even think about the other powerful nations around it. As for the Nine Supremes, he could forget about it.
As for the two women that Ling Xiao missed the most, one of them was in the Golden Heavenly Nation.
One was in the Palace of Eternal Life.
Needless to say, the Immortal Palace was the core of the Black Tortoise Continent. It was the strongest force and also the last force that Ling Xiao would conquer.
Although the Golden Heavenly Nation was not as powerful as the Palace of Eternal Life, it was more terrifying than the Nine Supremes of the West.
The reincarnation of the Moon Lady, Yue Fanghua, had returned to the Immortal Palace to participate in the examination. There was still no news of her, but it was useless to worry. The Immortal Palace was too far away from him.
As for the Golden Heavenly Nation, where the Divine Codex was, it was also unreachable.
Because of these expectations, his desire for strength was stronger than anyone else's.
Of course, he wouldn't be afraid, nor would he lose confidence.
He had the strongest martial spirit in the Profound World. As long as he didn't slack off and persevered, there would be a day when he would reach the peak of the Black Tortoise Continent and the Profound World.
As for Xiao Jin, it was the most terrifying existence in the Black Tortoise Continent. It was the product of devouring the Demon Fetus and the Golden Crow's soul.
There was no need for them to be afraid.
After breaking through, Ling Xiao calmed down and began to study the Demonic Dragon Possession.
In fact, this kind of support-type martial arts was much easier to cultivate than the Demonic Dragon Phantom Movement Technique.
Ling Xiao quickly grasped the knack and began to immerse himself in it.
If there was someone else present, they would definitely see a black Demonic Dragon circling above Ling Xiao's head.
At the same time, in the Demonic Dragon City's Vice Sect Leader's residence.
The construction here wasn't inferior to the Demon Palace at all.
After so many years, Phoenix In The Cloud had actually controlled the Dragon Cult. Although Chen Buyi wasn't completely taken over, it was close.
However, the series of events that had happened since then had caused him to suffer heavy losses.
Not only did he fail to kill Chen Buyi, but he also made Chen Buyi's reputation stronger than before.
This was something he didn't expect.
And the culprit behind all of this was the small fry that he had once looked down on — Ling Xiao.
When Ling Xiao first arrived at the Dragon Cult, they actually thought that he was a fake. Looking back now, it was really laughable.
In a secret room in the residence, there were about ten people sitting upright. They were all Phoenix In The Cloud's diehard fans.
Other than himself, there was also the First Sect Elder, Domineering Blade Ghost Li, Yun Lan, and a mysterious person dressed in a blue robe that covered his face.
There were also a few Helm Leaders of the Dragon Cult.
Don't underestimate these Helm Leaders. Because they had been away for a long time, it was hard to notice them.
However, only the First Sect Elder knew that any one of these Helm Leaders was stronger than him.
Among these people, he was the weakest. If it wasn't for the fact that he had some power in his hands, he probably wouldn't be qualified to participate in such a meeting.
"Why didn't you let Cloud Devil, Cloud Ghost, Cloud Demon, Wula, White Blood, and Delicate Flower come?
These six little guys have reached the age where they can be of great use. "
The First Sect Elder asked curiously.
Among all the disciples, only Yun Lan who was severely injured was present. This was too illogical.
"Let's not let them participate for now. I keep feeling that something is wrong with this Demonic Sea Secret Realm Trial. Let's conduct a secret investigation on them first. After confirming that there are no problems, let's let them participate in this important meeting."
Phoenix In The Cloud was indeed a sly old fox. He was very cautious.
Although he didn't have any evidence to prove that those people had betrayed him, based on his years of experience, he decided that it was better to hide some things from them.
"That's good too."
The First Sect Elder sighed in his heart. He was still inferior to Phoenix In The Cloud.
"Yun Lan, how do you feel?"
Phoenix In The Cloud suddenly looked at the injured Yun Lan and asked.
"Thank you for the healing pill, Master. My injuries are almost healed."
Yun Lan replied.
Phoenix In The Cloud said with satisfaction, "That's good. Actually, you can't be blamed for this matter. That Ling Xiao exuded an evil aura.
Even I have underestimated him a little.
Thinking about it carefully, when he wreaked havoc in Thunder City, he was actually able to escape from the seven generals of the Sky Thunder Legion and Chen Cangxiong. If he didn't have some ability, it was almost impossible.
Moreover, General Purple Thunder was killed by him.
It is said that even Chen Cangxiong was defeated by him.
