Blood flowed endlessly from Yi Ling's severed arm. However, he gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.
Horror and doubt flashed in Yi Ling's eyes as he quickly retreated. "What exactly did you obtain in the dragon grave? Even the might of the ghost Hou cannot suppress you."
The ghost Hou was the nemesis of the Dragon Race. It swallowed Dragons like eating earthworms, killing them in one bite. Even after its death, the might of the ghost Hou was sufficient to suppress any Dragon Race cultivator.
"Didn't you want to exchange moves? It was just one move. Brother Yi Ling, why are you running so fast? "
Xiao Chen asked coldly as he stood upright while holding his saber.
Yi Ling's eyes flickered. "Don't underestimate the ghost Hou. Even after losing an arm, I can still kill you!"
Xiao Chen's lips curled up in a smile. "Even at death's door, you are still so stubborn. Do you really think that I have never seen a true ghost Hou before? This ghost Hou of yours is just an afterimage. If you do not tell me all the secrets of the ghost Hou today, you can forget about leaving alive! "
Only now did Yi Ling's expression change. The ghost Hou was the soul of the dead Hou. All along, his father, the Treasure Master, had been controlling it. What Yi Ling obtained was indeed just an afterimage. Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen saw through it.
Just as Xiao Chen prepared to make another move, a flash of light charged over with the speed of lightning.
Loud sounds rang out endlessly like a vast army riding on waves. The aura was so vast that it flabbergasted everyone. Xiao Chen felt like he was in an ancient battlefield, with countless soldiers riding on horses charging at him like a tidal wave.
It was like a mountain flood, unblockable!
The golden war chariot! It was that ancient golden war chariot. Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat as he retreated to avoid the light. The momentum was too ferocious, and it appeared too suddenly. In the time it took for lightning to flash, Xiao Chen quickly made the most rational decision.
"Whoosh!"
Yi Ling laughed loudly and somersaulted back onto the golden war chariot. "I did not rely on this ghost Hou's afterimage to move unhindered in the Dragon Grave Sea. Brother Xiao, I will take revenge for my broken arm another day!"
To ordinary people, losing an arm was like losing half of their strength. However, to Yi Ling, he had the richest father in the Heavenly Starry Ocean. Before the mysterious Treasure Master, reattaching his arm was nothing.
He watched as the other party boarded the war chariot and left just like that. A great opportunity to uncover the secrets of the Ghost Domain was lost just like that.
Xiao Chen raged in his heart. He could no longer care about exposing his trump cards to Yi Ling. With a thought, the Cycle Banner appeared in his hand, and he activated it with Primordial Energy. The flags unfurled with a whoosh and undulated like waves, emitting the sound of heavy ocean waves.
The entire sea was dancing. The vast and boundless sea was like a toy in Xiao Chen's hands. Closely following that, space rippled like waves. Yi Ling's lightning-fast war chariot paused for a moment.
Now!
Xiao Chen's eyes narrowed. In the time it took for a spark to fly, the lightning flashed for a thousandth of an instant. With a roar, he tossed out the Cycle Banner in his hand.
Instantly, night fell. When one looked up, the sky was filled with stars, visible to the naked eye.
Along with the five-colored starlight, Massacre, Death, Ruin, Despair, and Grief, the Cycle Banner cut through the golden war chariot's defense like a hot knife through butter. In that thousandth of an instant, it easily broke through the defenses of the golden war chariot.
The Cycle Banner stabbed towards Yi Ling's chest. This startled Yi Ling. At the crucial moment, he shifted his body by an inch, avoiding a vital point.
"Pu ci!" A miserable shriek rang out. Yi Ling's other intact arm, from the shoulder down, directly broke off.
Xiao Chen watched coldly. You can laugh, but I will break your arm. Let's see if you can still laugh now.
"Xiao Chen, I cannot live under the same sky as you. If I do not take revenge for this, I will not be human. Just you wait. On the day of your Great Tribulation of wind and fire, I, Yi Ling, will definitely return this a hundredfold! "
Yi Ling, who was on the war chariot, screamed hysterically, his hair disheveled. He no longer had his initial grace.
Cannot live under the same sky as you?
Ten thousand years ago, the Qing Emperor killed the ancient mutated beast Hou. Ten thousand years later, the mysterious Treasure Master grasped the soul of the ghost Hou. No matter how Xiao Chen thought about it, he and the Treasure Master's bloodline would become enemies sooner or later.
There was an irresolvable conflict between the two. This conflict was much clearer than the complicated relationship between Xiao Chen and Chu Chaoyun.
Xiao Chen put away the Cycle Banner. As he looked at the distant golden war chariot, he felt it was a pity.
Xiao Chen was very interested in the ghost Hou. Jiang Tian once said that the ghost Hou could not be controlled. Now, it looked like he was gravely mistaken.
The mysterious Treasure Master who controlled all the markets in the Heavenly Starry Ocean was probably even more mysterious than everyone imagined.
Ao Jiao asked, "Xiao Chen, are we not going to give chase?"
Shaking his head, Xiao Chen replied, "We can't catch up. That golden war chariot is very incredible. It is even faster than my flood dragon war chariot. Furthermore, even if we catch up, it will be a tough battle. We still won't be able to keep him here."
"Where should we go now? Should we return directly to Heavenly Star Island or stay at Little Ba's place?"
"Since we are going to pass by the Black Sea, we should chat with the Flame Rock Sovereign. I have to personally tell the Flame Rock Sovereign about the treasure that I obtained from the Thunder King."
While Ao Jiao dared to address the Flame Rock Sovereign as Little Ba, Xiao Chen did not have such seniority. Traveling with Emperor Wu in the Distant Sea Dragon Grave gave Xiao Chen a taste of Emperor Wu's strength.
The red-haired Emperor Wu's Second Heaven Martial Emperor strength already made Xiao Chen feel helpless. How strong would the Flame Rock Sovereign, a Sovereign Martial Emperor, be?
Driving the flood dragon war chariot, Xiao Chen returned to Dark City after half a month.
During the past half month, Xiao Chen did not remain idle in the war chariot. Aside from opening the door of time and space to absorb Primordial Energy, he used Essence Stones to cultivate Law Energy.
Heavenly Laws were the foundation of cultivation. Furthermore, they were nourishment for Primordial Energy. There was a limit to opening the door of time and space, so the cultivation of Heavenly Laws could not be interrupted.
Only by breaking through the ninth Heaven and reaching Prime could one give up on the cultivation of Heavenly Laws and cultivate Primordial Energy without any restrictions.
With great familiarity, Xiao Chen soon arrived at the Flame Rock castle in Dark City. Unexpectedly, he saw Ba Yan waiting at the entrance from afar.
Ba Yan laughed loudly, "Hehe! There is no need to find it strange. My grandfather sensed your presence the moment you entered the Black Sea, so he told me to wait for you in advance.
"Brother Xiao, quickly tell me how much you have improved. My grandfather said that the current you is much better than before. My grandfather said that even if there were one hundred of me, I would not be a match for you. When I asked him what it was, he kept me in suspense. I am about to die from anxiety. "
Xiao Chen smiled. There was no need to hide anything before a friend. Furthermore, this matter would spread sooner or later. He answered honestly, "I have already succeeded in condensing the Heart of an Emperor in advance. I have already condensed the Heart of an Emperor and advanced to Consummation Blue Robed Emperor. I only need to wait for my Great Tribulation of wind and fire before I can ascend to Emperor Wu."
Ba Tu's mouth gaped in a large "O" shape. This news was too shocking. He could not react for a while.
How long had it been? Xiao Chen had advanced from Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor to Consummation Blue Robed Emperor? Furthermore, he had condensed the Heart of an Emperor.
This was an unprecedented feat that would never happen again!
"Hahaha! Brother, you are really something. Haha! In the future, when I lose in a fight, I will not look for Big Brother but you," Ba Tu said half-jokingly. Now that Xiao Chen had such a fortuitous encounter, he felt very happy for Xiao Chen.
"Come, come, come. Let's go in first before talking."
Xiao Chen, who was about to raise his leg, suddenly frowned and stopped. "Someone is coming."
"Who?" Ba Tu was somewhat puzzled. He turned his head and saw someone riding a horse galloping over on the main road with a sword hanging on his back.
This was Zong Boxiong's foster son, the strongest person of the Black Sea, Sima Lingxuan!
Xiao Chen was not too surprised at Sima Lingxuan's appearance. Since the Flame Rock Sovereign could sense his presence, Zong Boxiong could as well.
The other Great Bandits of the Black Sea should be able to sense him as well.
Indeed, when Xiao Chen extended his Spiritual Sense into the distance, he saw familiar faces that he had seen at the Outstanding Talent Summit Meeting rushing over.
The Blood Shark Sovereign's descendant, Huang Yun, the legendary Thunder Fire Sovereign's descendant, Xia Yang, and the Great Bandit's descendant, Liu Yun, were all rushing over to the Flame Rock castle.
However, these people were slower than Sima Lingxuan. They should have received the news at the same time. However, in terms of speed, they were much faster than the others.
This showed that Sima Lingxuan's improvement during this period was much greater than the others'.
At the Outstanding Talent Summit Meeting, Sima Lingxuan abandoned his sword and left at the last step, breaking his Heart Tribulation and gaining a new life.
Xiao Chen did not know what happened to Sima Lingxuan after the Outstanding Talent Summit Meeting. Xiao Chen's state of mind was like ancient water, fluctuating endlessly.
He would deal with the situation as it came. However, when one's strength reached a certain level, it would be hard not to remain calm.
After condensing the Heart of an Emperor and advancing to Consummation Blue Robed Emperor, Xiao Chen was in such a state.
"Whoosh!"
As the horse galloped, Sima Lingxuan soared into the air. Then, he drifted down like a fallen leaf and landed five hundred meters in front of Xiao Chen.
Sima Lingxuan looked straight ahead, at the returning Xiao Chen. His eyes were not filled with hatred like before, disrupting his mental state.
Such a state astonished Xiao Chen. What in the world happened for Sima Lingxuan to break out of his Heart Tribulation?
"Consummation Blue Robed Emperor?"
Sima Lingxuan was even more astonished. In just a few months, Xiao Chen had actually broken through to Great Perfection Blue Robed Emperor, reaching Consummation Blue Robed Emperor.
After a while, Sima Lingxuan's lips curled up in a self-mocking expression. "That is not strange. The kind of pressure one experiences determines the kind of improvement one makes. However, ordinary people would be crushed by the pressure, sinking into despair and hatred. Clearly, you are not such a person. "
Xiao Chen said calmly, "Sima Lingxuan, why are you here? Just say it directly."
Sima Lingxuan replied, "Don't worry. I am not here to take revenge. We still have an unfinished battle at the Outstanding Talent Summit Meeting. I want to finish this battle with you. Regardless of victory or defeat, the grudges between us will be written off. "
Xiao Chen revealed a doubtful expression. Given Sima Lingxuan's character, he had not expected him to say such a thing.
Sima Lingxuan had always wanted to kill Xiao Chen to vent his hatred. It looked like he had really broken out of his Heart Tribulation. This was incredible.
"Are you sure you have thought this through? You just broke out of your Heart Tribulation, yet you want to fight me? Have you ever thought that you would lose miserably? "
