As a result, the sky was always overcast. All sorts of loud sounds resounded in the surroundings, sounding like thunder.
Although it was clearly very chaotic, Xiao Chen strangely felt a sense of tranquility. There was no sign of life at all. The scene before him was like a silent movie.
"The Distant Sea Dragon Grave … I really did not expect the fog to be like this."
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and muttered to himself.
Don't overthink. This is just the tip of the iceberg of the Distant Sea Dragon Grave. You have just officially stepped into the periphery. After passing through the entire desolate plain of fire, you should barely be in the depths.
Ao Jiao said from the Immortal Spirit Ring.
As Xiao Chen looked at the boundless desolate plain of fire, he was flabbergasted. The size of this Distant Sea Dragon Grave was truly startlingly huge.
"What do you think Yi Ling's group is doing here? I don't think they are just here to scout around."
As far as Xiao Chen could see, there were no signs of movement at all. As he stood guard, he felt somewhat bored. Furthermore, he could not cultivate. So, he could only chat with Ao Jiao.
"There are too few clues. I can't guess. Furthermore, I have never been to the Distant Sea Dragon Grave before. I know too little. In any case, you just have to be careful."
"I hope so."
After chatting for a while, Xiao Chen remembered that he had not opened the door of time and space to absorb Primordial Energy yet. So, he got Ao Jiao to help him keep an eye on it. Ever since he experienced the might of Primordial Energy and the extremely difficult method to obtain it, Xiao Chen knew that this was his only chance to open the door of time and space every day.
He cherished it extremely and did not dare to waste it. With a thought, the resplendent Heart of an Emperor spun. Then, under a mysterious pull, the door of time and space appeared above Xiao Chen's head once more.
With a thought, the resplendent Heart of an Emperor spun. Under the mysterious pull, the door of time and space appeared above Xiao Chen's head once more.
Drops of pure-white Primordial Energy flowed out. It was like Xiao Chen was bathed in a white light, appearing extremely holy.
Strong energy spread throughout his body, making him feel very satisfied.
He really wanted to go to the world behind the door and see what kind of existence that hazy and boundless world was.
Unfortunately, that was impossible. Even if one was as powerful as a supreme being, reaching the peak of the martial path, they still couldn't enter that world.
The so-called Gate of Time and Space above his head was in between reality and illusion. It was not a real gate at all. Strictly speaking, this was just an image projected by the Heart of an Emperor after it established a connection with that world.
If you walked in through the door and came out, you would find that you were still in this world, just an illusion.
Even if one really entered and was safe and sound, the many Emperor Wu of the Kunlun Realm guessed that it was a pure energy space. There was no order to it, and it would immediately turn into Primordial Energy.
Of course, whether it was true or not, there was still no conclusion. Primordial Energy was just a name that Emperor Wu of the Kunlun Realm had given it. That world was chaotic was also a guess.
Right now, Xiao Chen was not thinking about anything else. He only wanted to absorb this energy to strengthen himself, to increase his chances of clearing his Great Tribulation of wind and fire.
When the Gate of Time and Space slowly closed, Xiao Chen reluctantly opened his eyes. He sighed, It is really not easy to obtain this Primordial Energy.
Looking around, as far as his eyes could see, nothing had changed.
"Use your Heavenly Eye to take a look. I definitely can't see this vast plain of desolate fire clearly with the naked eye."
Xiao Chen circulated the Paradise Secret Canon, and the vertical purple eye on his forehead opened. Immediately, his field of vision widened by a hundred times — a thousand times. Xiao Chen saw many flaming earth dragons roaming the desolate plain. There were also strange flaming birds flying in the air. With one glance, it was startling.
These ferocious beasts were definitely not weak. Aside from the many ferocious beasts, Xiao Chen also made some unexpected discoveries.
"There are so many divine materials. This desolate land of fire is actually filled with treasures."
Xiao Chen's Heavenly Eye noticed several natural ores that were divine materials hidden in the lava with his extremely sharp Heavenly Eye. Suddenly, Xiao Chen's gaze paused. He saw a strange gem flickering with golden light in the pool of lava.
However, in the next moment, the lava surged over and covered up the gem. It was like it had sunk into the pool and could no longer be seen.
The Heavenly Eye closed, and Xiao Chen's emotions fluctuated somewhat. He muttered, "Ao Jiao, I think I saw a Heptagold Origin."
"Really?!" Ao Jiao exclaimed excitedly, losing her composure, which she rarely did.
For the Lunar Shadow Saber to advance to a Divine Weapon and enter the Divine Weapon Ranking, aside from needing vast amounts of divine materials, Heptagold Origin was something that the Lunar Shadow Saber needed. Such a treasure that could only be found and not sought suddenly appeared before her. How could Ao Jiao not be excited?
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "Don't get too excited. I did not see it clearly, either. It was just a flash. I don't know if it was a Heptagold Origin or not."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's quickly go and take a look."
Xiao Chen smiled helplessly. "I want to as well. However, based on the time outside, one night has already passed. I have to rush back. Furthermore, there are many dangers along the way to the lava pool from here. It would be very difficult for me to cross safely alone. If it were not for the Heptagold Origin, I would have suffered a great loss. "
Ao Jiao whispered, "Sorry, I was too excited."
"It's fine. If we want to cross this desolate plain of fire, that is the only way. When the time comes, I will scoop it up and take a look."
Remembering the location of the suspected Heptagold Origin, Xiao Chen quickly rushed back. Soon, he appeared in front of the camp.
The result was unexpected. The camp's defensive formations were already completely destroyed. Aside from that red-haired, middle-aged man, Senior Hong and the other Emperor Wu were all slightly injured and mentally fatigued.
When Xiao Chen looked around, he saw a pile of bone dragon fragments on the ground. He took a look and saw an incomplete dragon claw with four claws.
Xiao Chen instantly understood what happened. Last night, the desolate plain of fire was calm and peaceful; nothing had happened. On the contrary, another group of bone dragons charged out from the foggy area. These were four-clawed ones.
When Senior Hong saw the perfectly fine Xiao Chen, he immediately flared up. He scolded, "Brat, how could you keep watch all night? More than a hundred four-clawed bone dragons charged out, and you did not even give me a warning. Where did you run off to?"
Under the mask, Xiao Chen did not show any fear when he saw Senior Hong's anxious expression. He said indifferently, "Is that so? I followed your instructions and went very far. Last night was calm and peaceful; nothing happened. How could I have warned you?"
Senior Hong felt stifled. When he thought about it, he was indeed the one who told Xiao Chen to go further. However, when he heard Xiao Chen's casual tone, he could not suppress his anger.
Originally, Senior Hong wanted to trick Xiao Chen, to make Xiao Chen suffer in the desolate plain of fire.
Who could have imagined that Xiao Chen would swagger back unscathed? On the contrary, he was the one who ended up in a sorry state and even suffered some minor injuries?
"The camp was attacked. No matter how you quibble, you have to take responsibility for this matter."
Feeling somewhat flustered and exasperated, Senior Hong started to act like a scoundrel.
Xiao Chen smiled coldly and said, "Can you be any more shameless? I have never seen such a petty Emperor Wu before. Even the Primes I have seen would not speak to me like this. Who do you think you are?! "
"What did you say?"
Senior Hong demanded fiercely as he stepped forward in rage.
Xiao Chen did not fear Senior Hong at all. He stepped forward as well and said directly, "I said that you are shameless. What's wrong? Are you deaf? Did you not hear me clearly? In that case, I will say it loudly once more. You, old fellow, are shameless! "
"Didn't I just force you back by a small step despite being severely injured? Is there a need to be so petty? It is just a small matter, yet you keep targeting me. "
The moment Xiao Chen said this, those half-step Emperor Wu immediately paled in fright. This Xiao Chen was really bold. To dare to go against Emperor Wu, what medicine did he take to be so angry?
It was not that Xiao Chen was angry. It was that he had had enough. He was already upset that Xiao Chen had tossed him out of the camp in the middle of the night. Xiao Chen returned to the camp perfectly fine. Despite having done nothing wrong, Xiao Chen continued to criticize him. Although Xiao Chen had a good temper, it was not to this extent.
"You are seeking death!"
"Try attacking if you dare. Don't force me into a corner. You are just a First Heaven Emperor Wu. I don't believe that you can squish me to death so easily."
Facing Senior Hong's overwhelming Emperor's Might, Xiao Chen did not show any signs of backing down under the mask. He endured the layers of Emperor's Might and took another step forward. Then, he glared at the other party with a sharp gaze.
Under the pressure of this gaze, Senior Hong saw the sharpness of a cultivator. Xiao Chen would rather break than bend. His aura weakened for some reason.
Senior Hong could not help but think quickly. This brat definitely has some trump cards since he dared to enter the Distant Sea Dragon Grave. If I kill a Consummation Consummation Blue Robed Emperor like him, he will fight me to the death. There will be no benefits at all.
Who knows, I might even get injured. That is not worth it. If Xiao Chen had some value, Senior Hong might make a move. However, there was no benefit at all. Xiao Chen was another thorn in Senior Hong's side. This made it hard for Senior Hong to make up his mind.
"Never mind, never mind. We are all on the same side. There is no need to fight with each other. If we start fighting now, how are we going to proceed in the future?"
Emperor Wu said quickly when he saw that Senior Hong needed a way out of this embarrassing situation.
At this moment, the red-haired Emperor Wu also said, "Senior Hong, everyone is responsible for this. No one expected a group of bone dragons to appear in the foggy land."
"Right, right, right. Senior Hong, don't get angry at the juniors. Youths all have their own tempers."
Seeing Xiao Chen's unyielding sharpness, Senior Hong, who was already thinking of retreating, took advantage of the situation. He flung his sleeves and said, "On account of the few of us, I will not lower myself to your level."
Xiao Chen smiled coldly in his heart. He could not be bothered with Senior Hong, so he walked to the side.
Ao Jiao had already memorized the way to enter and exit the foggy land. By relying on the Cycle Banner, he could leave this place at any time. There was no need to fear this First Heaven Emperor Wu.
If people respect me, I will respect them tenfold. After targeting me time and time again, why should I be polite to you?
"Xiao Chen, you are really bold."
Wang Yuzhu smiled faintly as he walked over.
Xiao Chen said casually, "It is not a matter of being bold. Everyone has their own bottom line. If he were Emperor Wu's Third Heaven strength, I would endure him ordering me around. However, he is just a First Heaven Emperor Wu. To think that he dares to be so arrogant. There is no need to give him any face."
Wang Yuzhu smiled bitterly in his heart. Only you dare to say that. No matter which Heaven you are, Emperor Wu is Emperor Wu. He is an influential person. To them, he is an undefeatable existence.
