After consuming a hundred drops of Dragon Marrow, Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged on the summit. Occasionally, a vast and immortal True Dragon's roar came from his body.
Refining the Dragon Marrow required a long time. The elders watching the excitement all knew this. They shook their heads and sighed as they left.
The dragon's roar echoed on the summit for ten days before it slowly stopped.
Xiao Chen's bones had already changed completely, becoming abnormally hard like dragon bones.
While Xiao Chen's appearance did not change, he felt that if he had suffered that startling strike from Di Wuque that day, he would not have lost all his combat prowess.
Even if Ao Jiao was not around, Xiao Chen was confident of fighting another battle with the other party.
"Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, Deities Descending!"
Divine light enveloped Xiao Chen's body as he circulated his Vital Qi. Dragon's roar resounded, and ten Heaven Dragon images appeared behind him. This was twice his combat prowess.
Xiao Chen continued to increase it, expanding from ten Dragon Force to twenty Dragon Force, quadrupling his combat prowess.
"Boom!"
Now that Xiao Chen was confident, he steeled his heart and increased his combat prowess tenfold. Fifty Heaven Dragon images appeared and roared ferociously in unison.
Before Xiao Chen punched, just the might alone caused space to churn like waves, looking like it would shatter at any moment.
Tiny cracks appeared in Xiao Chen's bones, and he felt some pain. He withdrew his fist, and the Heaven Dragon images vanished. Joy appeared on his face.
In the earlier test, Xiao Chen's body should be able to endure fifty Dragon Force. As long as he did not attack consecutively, he would only suffer some light injuries. His physical body would be fine.
A ruthless look flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes. He muttered, "Fifty Dragon Force. If I meet the Blue Robed Emperor, I am confident of receiving his killing move. I will not feel any pressure protecting myself."
What did fifty Dragon Force mean? One Dragon Force was five million kilograms of force. Ten Dragon Force was five hundred million kilograms of force. Fifty Dragon Force was two hundred and fifty million kilograms of force.
Even peak great grandmaster-level Martial Sages like First Elder Han Qinghe, who had already started refining their Heavenly Sage Laws into Heavenly Laws, would not be able to withstand it.
Xiao Chen was confident that he could explode his opponent with one punch. At this point, he was already infinitely close to becoming an unrivaled great grandmaster-level Martial Sage.
No matter what kind of great grandmaster-level Martial Sage or what Cultivation Technique they cultivated, as long as they were not quasi-Emperors, Xiao Chen was confident of defeating them.
After refining the one hundred drops of dragon marrow, he took out the Beautiful Mountain and River Painting, an incomplete Immortal Equipment.
Cultivators needed to spend a lot of time and effort to modify it into a Secret Treasure before they could use it. of Secret Treasures before them.
However, this was not as troublesome for Xiao Chen. and he could use it.
His magic power was abundant, so his divine sense could directly enter it. He could brand the spiritual imprint and use it immediately.
He unfurled the Beautiful Mountain and River Painting and saw that there were mountains and rivers in the painting. There were white clouds drifting about, and there were rivers and rivers. Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers were all within this painting.
Releasing his Spiritual Sense, Xiao Chen entered the inner world of the painting, where he saw the spiritual mark left behind by the previous owner.
It had already been one hundred thousand years since the end of the Immortal Epoch. Although it was shaky and looked like it would be extinguished at any moment, it did not dissipate.
One could imagine how powerful the previous owner of the picture scroll was.
When a cultivator reached the Nascent Soul Realm, there was still the Nascent Soul Transformation, Divine Transformation, Mahayana, and Void Refinement. After that, they would transcend the tribulation and become an Immortal Monarch before ascending to the Immortal World.
Looking at the Spiritual Imprint before him, even after hundreds of thousands of years had passed, it was still glowing brightly. The Immortal Soul had not died yet. The previous owner of the painting had most likely possessed the strength of a High Immortal.
Even the weakest Immortal Lord was as strong as a Sovereign Martial Emperor, surpassing the cycle of reincarnation and existing with the world, immortal and undying.
Of course, the Immortal Dao was destroyed, the Immortal Realm no longer existed, and the cycle of reincarnation was shattered. Immortals had long lost the ability to live forever.
With the arrival of the Martial Epoch, there were no longer any Immortals in the world. Only martial arts reigned supreme. Even if an Immortal Lord came back to life, he would not be a match for the peak strike of a Prime, Emperor Wu.
This strand of spiritual mark had the appearance of an old man with the air of an immortal. The light it gave off was weak, and he no longer possessed any intelligence. All Xiao Chen needed to do was to casually touch it, and he would be able to leave his spiritual mark on it.
"Bang!"
Just as Xiao Chen prepared to make a move, the old man before him suddenly opened his eyes. They released a divine light, and a tyrannical strand of Spiritual Sense flew over. It followed the spiritual mark and entered Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness.
"Hahaha! It has been one hundred thousand years. This old man did not expect that a casual move I made back then would leave behind a backup plan, allowing me to live for another epoch. "
This Spiritual Sense was boundlessly tyrannical. Xiao Chen felt horrified and flustered. He felt helpless as the other party swallowed up his Spiritual Sense, slowly vanishing.
How can it be like this? I have never heard of a spiritual mark left in an Immortal Equipment or Magic Treasure gaining intelligence.
When the Immortal Dao was destroyed, all the Immortals had died long ago. The spiritual mark they left behind had already lost its intelligence as they died.
Even if the Immortal Dao did not die, one hundred thousand years was enough to erase the intelligence of any spiritual mark.
What had happened so suddenly was simply unimaginable, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"Even if you are an Immortal Lord, there is no way you can swallow me up. Scram!"
Immortal thunder, eternal will, inextinguishable saber soul, unparalleled sharpness!
In the face of danger, Xiao Chen calmed his mind and charged out with the Lightning Talisman hidden in his sea of consciousness.
The immortal will of thunder and the peak Great Perfection bladesman soul immediately surged with electric light, illuminating the entire sea of consciousness.
"The Thunder Immortal Ancestor's Destruction Lightning Talisman … no, it is a copy. However, it is sufficient to destroy my remnant soul. Damn it!"
A sharp, miserable shriek rang out. Under the illumination of the electric light containing boundless saber intent, the old man's unstoppable Spiritual Sense slowly crumbled.
When the old man's Spiritual Sense crumbled, Xiao Chen suddenly stopped. This was an old antique of the Immortal Epoch. He contained many secrets.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Even if there was some risk, Xiao Chen wanted to obtain some information from him.
The painful howls stopped. The old man's Spiritual Sense turned into a human figure, trembling weakly in a corner of the sea of consciousness.
Xiao Chen said coldly, "Tell me what I want to know, and I will spare your life, letting you live another epoch."
"Hahaha! Live another epoch? You are overthinking. It is hard to defy heaven's will. No one can live another epoch. That is impossible. So, there is no need to threaten me. In any case, I will vanish into thin air soon. "
The old man's strong desire to live vanished when he saw Xiao Chen's Lightning Talisman. It was like he had accepted his fate.
He muttered, It is hard to defy heaven's will! It is hard to defy heaven's will!
Xiao Chen could not understand. He said, "Since you still have your intelligence, I should be able to find an ordinary person without Mental Energy to possess you."
"It is hard to defy heaven's will. Do you think I have waited for one hundred thousand years for someone with Magic Energy to enter this Beautiful Mountain and River Painting?
"However, it is someone who just happened to copy the Destruction Lightning Talisman. Do you think this is a coincidence? Even if it were another person, all sorts of accidents would have happened, causing the possession to fail. This is heaven's will; it is hard to defy it.
"How laughable. I thought that I coincidentally left a drop of Immortal blood here and could live another epoch. To think that I waited bitterly for one hundred thousand years. How laughable."
The old man's voice was weak, making his tone sound even more sorrowful.
"Take this Beautiful Mountain and River Painting. Back then, many King Grade Immortal Equipment were destroyed in the Great Tribulation. Unexpectedly, this little thing, which I did not care about, remained here for so long. "
When Xiao Chen saw the light on the old man's body grow dimmer, he could not help but ask anxiously, "Senior, meeting is fate. Can you tell this junior why the Immortal Epoch was so strong, where Immortal Lords could live forever, Immortal Ancestors could pluck the stars and the moon, and Immortal Kings could defy heaven and change fate? Why was it destroyed?"
"Meeting is fate? Haha! You are just an insignificant Yuanying cultivator. What is the point of asking this?
"As the saying goes, when prosperity reaches its peak, it declines. Life and death come and go in an endless cycle. There is nothing in the world that can flourish forever. This is the Heavenly Dao, this is heaven's will. No one can change it.
"In the past, the Kunlun Immortal World was very vast and powerful. It ruled the universe, the origin of the three thousand great realms. So what? In the end, it could not escape this calamity. The Immortal World was destroyed, and the Kunlun Immortal World became an abandoned land … "
The old man's voice grew increasingly weaker until it finally disappeared.
The old man did not say much, but the information he revealed was startling, stirring up huge waves in Xiao Chen's heart for a long time.
The three thousand great realms that the old man mentioned were definitely not the Sky Dome Realm, where Xiao Chen was. That was just an Immortal Lord's cave. There was an even vaster world outside the Kunlun Immortal World.
The Kunlun Immortal World was originally the Central Great Realm, the origin of the universe. Now, it had become an abandoned land.
The old man's figure slowly turned illusory, leaving only a spot of green light drifting about.
Xiao Chen opened his hand and sucked, swallowing up the green spot. There was no other information in the green spot. All the information it contained was about the Beautiful Mountain and River Painting.
The powerful experts of the Immortal Epoch were already completely wiped out, no longer leaving any traces of them in the current Martial Epoch.
After leaving his Spiritual Mark, Xiao Chen withdrew his Spiritual Sense from the Beautiful Mountain and River Painting. Then, he followed the old man's method and left a blood mark on his palm.
The Beautiful Mountain and River Painting quickly shrank and entered Xiao Chen's left palm. Immediately, mountains, rivers, and gushing rivers appeared on his palm, materializing a vast small world.
With a thought, the mountains and rivers faded away, and his palm returned to normal.
Xiao Chen burned his Magic Energy, and the Beautiful Mountain and River Painting appeared. With a thought, he could move the mountains and rivers in it, controlling the lightning and thunder in it.
He could not help revealing a trace of joy on his face. If he could trap someone in this Beautiful Mountain and River Painting, that person would not be able to escape his palm.
Xiao Chen's Magic Energy drained away like water, and he felt dizzy. He did not dare to move the Beautiful Mountain and River Painting rashly, so he carefully put it away.
The words left by the Immortal Dao expert in the Beautiful Mountain and River Painting could only be treated as an interlude in subduing the Immortal Equipment. He still had to do what he needed to do.
Be it the abandoned land or the so-called epoch's Great Calamity, they were all too distant from Xiao Chen. They were like legends, too ethereal.
Xiao Chen still had to keep his feet firmly planted on the ground, raising his cultivation step by step.
When he reached the peak one day, all the fog would naturally scatter.
After that, Xiao Chen took out the Neptune Crown that Yao Yan gave him. The expression on his face turned complicated.
This was a complete Emperor Grade Secret Treasure, even more precious than the Beautiful Mountain and River Painting. After all, the latter was just an incomplete Immortal Equipment. It was not as attractive to cultivators as an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure.
