After speaking, Xiao Chen ignored Dugu Ao's shock and headed deeper into the dragon grave step by step. Two hours later, he arrived at the place where the gigantic black dragon bones were locked.
When Xiao Chen saw the three headless corpses on the ground and the Distant Ancient Divine Weapons in his hands, he sighed.
Desire was always a cultivator's greatest enemy.
If not for Xiao Chen overcoming desire in the Ancient Desolate Tower, one of the headless corpses on the ground would be Xiao Chen.
As Xiao Chen looked at Dugu Ao, who followed him over, he asked, "Speaking of which, how did you resist the temptation of the Distant Ancient Divine Weapons?"
No matter how Xiao Chen looked at it, Dugu Ao did not seem like someone who could resist the temptation of the Distant Ancient Divine Weapons.
Dugu Ao smiled embarrassedly and said, "I could not get close to these stone pillars. These stone pillars have an extremely strong suppressive and sealing effect on cultivators who cultivate Demonic Qi. Although I do not cultivate Demonic Qi, I have half a Blood Demon bloodline in me. I could not avoid it. "
Xiao Chen now understood. At the same time, he firmed his resolve to return the Distant Ancient Divine Weapons.
The seal of this place definitely sealed incredible existences, which involved many secrets.
The Dark Church, the Deep Abyss Demonic Race … these secrets could only be understood after Xiao Chen became truly strong.
After returning the three Distant Ancient Divine Weapons, Xiao Chen thought for a while. Then, he put some force into the sword hilt.
This way, no one would be able to see the sword hilt from the outside. Even if someone accidentally discovered this place, without sufficient benefits, they would not touch it.
Xiao Chen leaped to the other stone pillars with dragon bones tied to them. Then, he put some force into the sword hilt as well.
"Ah!"
Immediately, a miserable cry came from the stone pillar. Xiao Chen smiled faintly. It looked like his idea worked.
Xiao Chen leaped over and pushed the sword hilt out of the other stone pillars into the ground. Then, he jumped down and destroyed the entire cave with one palm strike.
Rocks peeled off, completely burying this sealed land.
After that, Xiao Chen and Dugu Ao left this place. With every step, Xiao Chen threw a palm strike, destroying the entire burial ground.
When he exited the entrance of the dragon tomb, he sent out a few more palm strikes, completely blocking the entrance.
As the two looked at the calm surface of the vast Dragon Grave Sea, they both felt fatigued.
The adventure of the Eight Star dragon grave finally came to an end. When Xiao Chen first entered, the group was very majestic. Now, only Xiao Chen and Dugu Ao came out alive.
Even someone as strong as Wu Ke and Yang Kai, and someone as astute as the old man in the woven rush caped raincoat, had fallen here in the end.
During this adventure, not to mention the treasures, the viciousness of the human heart, the choices made in the face of desire, and the lowliness of one's own strength had given Xiao Chen a vivid lesson.
This made Xiao Chen even more anxious to rush to the Human-Demon Sea and obtain the treasures that the Thunder King left behind. He wanted to advance to the Consummation Blue Robed Emperor as soon as possible.
Dugu Ao withdrew his gaze and performed a cupped-fist salute to Xiao Chen. Before he left, he said, "Although I am arrogant, I will definitely repay the favor I owe you. There are many ingrates in the world, but I, Dugu Ao, will definitely not be one of them. We will meet again in the future!"
Xiao Chen, who watched Dugu Ao leave, did not know that Dugu Ao would really repay this favor a few years later. Furthermore, he did so in an extremely tragic manner.
However, this was something that would happen many years later. The current Xiao Chen would definitely not think of it.
As for the favor Dugu Ao mentioned, Xiao Chen merely smiled and brushed it off. Given his strength, he simply could not think of anything he would need Dugu Ao's help in the future.
Xiao Chen had saved Dugu Ao twice only because of his principles. If it were someone else, he would have done the same.
If he really died after saving Dugu Ao, Xiao Chen would have chosen to stand aside and not blindly act rashly.
When Xiao Chen looked back at the calm surface of the sea, he thought of the people who went to the Dragon Grave Sea with him and shook his head slightly. After sighing, he summoned out the flood dragon war chariot and headed for the Human-Demon Sea.
Inside the war chariot, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged and started to seriously treat his injuries.
If not for the final eighteen strands of sword Qi, it would not have been difficult for Xiao Chen to safely retreat from the Eight Star dragon grave.
However, it did not matter now. As long as Xiao Chen had enough time, given his physical body, no matter how severe his injuries were, he could recover in a short time.
After half a day, Xiao Chen opened his eyes. The wounds on his back had already mostly healed.
The defense of the third layer of the Blue Dragon Battle Armor far surpassed Xiao Chen's expectations. Furthermore, this was only at Small Perfection.
Xiao Chen estimated that after he condensed the Blue Dragon Battle Armor, his defense should rival that of Mo Ran's Body of Steel. Furthermore, it did not have any weak points.
All in all, Xiao Chen was much stronger.
Among the Deep Abyss Demon Races, the Iron Demons were known as the race with the strongest defense. Due to the natural advantage of their body structure and some Cultivation Techniques, their defense far surpassed that of the other races.
Furthermore, Xiao Chen's human body could rival that of the Iron Demon Race's Body of Steel. If he appeared in the Astral Battlefield one day, he would definitely cause a huge commotion.
Inside the war chariot, Xiao Chen went through his gains in the dragon grave again. There were fifteen thousand Essence Stones, one hundred Dragon Blood Flowers, three peak-quality King Grade Secret Treasures, and one True Dragon remains.
With such a large harvest, this trip to the Eight Star dragon grave was worth it.
However, the doubts of the Eight Star dragon grave were hard to resolve. What kind of existence was the mysterious Dark Church? To think that such an organization actually existed a million years ago. This was truly shocking.
The Sky Dome Realm was no stranger to most of the Deep Abyss Demon Races. There were detailed records of the high-ranked Demon Races and the eighteen Demon Monarchs, which could be easily looked up.
Only the Nether Sect revealed very little information about them.
Never mind, I won't be able to figure anything out no matter how hard I try. Right now, I am not strong enough. This is not the time to think about this.
Right now, the most important thing is to rush to the Human-Demon Sea and obtain the treasures that the Thunder King left behind.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen thought back to the information Ao Jiao gave him about the Human-Demon Sea.
In this oceanic world, any sea region with a large number of cultivators would have rich resources and prosperous islands.
In that case, the Human-Demon Sea would be an oddity. The Spiritual Energy here was thin, and resources were scarce. However, there were as many cultivators as there were hairs on an ox, no less than the number of cultivators in the Heavenly Starry Ocean.
The reason was none other than the Demon mixed-bloods living here.
There were Demon mixed-bloods with purer bloodlines and more perfect evolutions. They looked no different from humans. There were also Demon mixed-bloods with insufficient purity and imperfect evolutions. These Demon mixed-bloods had long hair, scales, or horns.
Most of these Demon mixed-bloods cultivated Demonic Qi and had a violent personality.
Although there were all sorts of factions and clans, they were not bound by the morals of humans. They did as they pleased and were much more cold-blooded and cruel.
According to Ao Jiao, the treasures left behind by the Thunder King, Sang Mu, were on Scorching Flame Island in the north of the Human-Demon Sea. He had given them to Sang Mu's good friend, Su He, to guard.
When the Thunder King was alive, he had saved this Demon mixed-bloods Martial Emperor's life. Naturally, this Demon mixed-bloods Martial Emperor agreed to the Thunder King's request before he died.
This Demon mixed-bloods Martial Emperor helped guard the treasures left behind by the Thunder King and waited for Ao Jiao to bring the new inheritor over.
Back then, this Demon mixed-bloods Martial Emperor was already a Martial Emperor. Now that a thousand years had passed, this Demon mixed-bloods Martial Emperor should be as strong as a Sovereign Martial Emperor.
Xiao Chen was not very clear on the exact classification of Emperor Wu's strength. He was just making a random guess. He should not be too far off.
"Ao Jiao, how much do you know about this Demon mixed-bloods Martial Emperor? It is hard to believe that a Martial Emperor could endure loneliness for one thousand years. "
The Human-Demon Sea was already before them. However, Xiao Chen felt somewhat nervous. One thousand years was too long. He feared that he would not meet this Demon Mixed-Bloods Martial Emperor.
That would be problematic. Without this Martial Emperor's key, he would not be able to enter the Thunder King's treasures.
However, Ao Jiao was very confident. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I've met this Demon mixed-bloods Martial Emperor before. Furthermore, you have to believe in the Thunder King's judgment. There will not be any problems."
With Ao Jiao's assurance, Xiao Chen felt more at ease.
Half a day later, they formally entered the Human-Demon Sea. Xiao Chen put away the flood dragon war chariot and landed on the surface of the sea in a low-profile manner.
"What dense Demonic Qi!"
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. The instant he stepped onto the surface of the sea, he felt a large amount of Demonic Qi in the air. However, the Spiritual Energy here was pitifully thin.
The Human-Demon Sea truly lived up to its name. Suddenly, Xiao Chen thought about how Dugu Ao chose to cultivate Spiritual Energy under such circumstances and even managed to cultivate to his current cultivation. He was truly a genius.
After landing on a random island and resting for a night, Xiao Chen headed for Scorching Flame Island in the northern Demonic Sea.
In the northern Demonic Sea, Scorching Flame Island was an average-sized island. It was about the same size as Xiao Chen's conferred land, Heavenly Star Island. Martial Emperor Su He was the only Emperor Wu on this island.
The Su Clan was also the strongest faction on this Scorching Flame Island. They controlled the largest city on the island, Scorching Flame City.
This was news from one thousand years ago. After one thousand years, there should not have been much change. After all, with a Martial Emperor holding down the fort, it should be more than enough to dominate a medium-sized island.
After arriving at Scorching Flame Island, Xiao Chen headed straight for Scorching Flame City, moving as fast as lightning.
"Who is it? How dare you barge into Scorching Flame City?!"
Just as Xiao Chen approached Scorching Flame City, two old men with hostile expressions came out of the city and blocked Xiao Chen's path in midair.
These two old men were Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor cultivators. The faction in the city must have sensed Xiao Chen's strength. However, they did not know his background, so they sent two Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor experts to investigate.
This was normal. Any major faction would react like this when an unfamiliar expert suddenly appeared in their territory with lightning speed.
If this was not the case, then this faction would not even have the most basic precautions, and it would not be far from destruction.
Xiao Chen did not find this strange. He smiled and said, "The two of you, please don't misunderstand. I do not have any malicious intent. I just want to ask, are the two of you surnamed Su?"
"So, it is a friend of the Su Clan. I was wondering why you were so arrogant. You came to Scorching Flame City without even saying a word before running amok."
Xiao Chen found this strange. Why does this tone sound off? Did something happen here? Is the Su Clan no longer the overlord of Scorching Flame Island?
"You are not welcome here. Scram."
The cultivators of the Human-Demon Sea were all hot-tempered. If they did not agree with each other, they would explode. The two old men immediately attacked, each sending out a killing move filled with overwhelming Demonic Qi at Xiao Chen.
"You overestimate yourself!"
