The ground trembled continuously. As Xiao Chen retreated, he slowly dissipated the force of the Blood-Thirsty Demonic Ape's attack.
Naturally, the Blood-Thirsty Demonic Ape did not know how to borrow force. The force of the Inferior Grade Earth Ranked Martial Technique, Fierce Tiger Leaving the Mountains, completely entered its body.
Even though the Blood-Thirsty Demonic Ape had tough skin and flesh, it could not withstand it. Blood poured out from all the pores on its body, dyeing its red fur even redder.
It looks like I underestimated the might of the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art and the Great Dragon Tiger Fist. Who knows, I might be able to defeat this Blood-Thirsty Demonic Ape with just the strength of my physical body, Xiao Chen thought to himself.
"Hu!"
Two figures flashed. Xiao Chen and the Blood-Thirsty Demonic Ape moved at the same time. The Blood-Thirsty Demonic Ape seemed to go berserk. It raised its speed to its limits and turned into a red blur.
Its four limbs were covered in a red glow. As it moved up and down, it punched and kicked. Xiao Chen did not dodge. The bones in his body gave off a 'pi li pa la' sound. The Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art circulated continuously. The Qi and blood in his body burned to their limits, like a huge furnace.
"Bang!
Bang! Bang! "One man and one beast clashed again. This time, the battle was several times more intense than before. Every clash contained at least five thousand kilograms of force.
Thunderous explosions rang out endlessly, causing ripples in the air. More and more Spirit Beasts were attracted over and surrounded the area.
The battle lasted for close to two hours. There was still no victor. Xiao Chen was covered in sweat. He felt very carefree and excited. He could not help but roar loudly. This was a true battle.
A prolonged battle was an advantage for Xiao Chen. His body had been tempered by the Seven Leaf Flower. He had already been reborn. Furthermore, he had recently consumed countless herbs to increase his Qi and blood. Furthermore, there was the Inferior Grade Earth Ranked Body Strengthening Art and the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art.
Xiao Chen seemed to have an inexhaustible amount of energy. He did not show any signs of exhaustion. Instead, his aura grew stronger.
On the other hand, although the Demonic Bloodlust Ape was slightly stronger than Xiao Chen, it could not take down Xiao Chen in one move. After fighting for two hours, the internal injuries it had inflicted on Xiao Chen had gradually accumulated to a dangerous level.
However, his stamina was clearly unable to keep up. He couldn't wait for the moment when Xiao Chen's internal injuries backfired. When they clashed head-on, he was actually pushed back by Xiao Chen.
For a time, it was forced to retreat step by step. Xiao Chen's countless punches landed on its body.
Die for me!
With a kick, Xiao Chen sent the Demonic Bloodthirsty Ape flying. With a loud shout, the four acupoints on his right arm — Phoenix Eye, Lao Gong, Da Ling, and Neiguan — suddenly released four balls of green light, enveloping his entire arm.
With a dragon's roar, the green light transformed into a blurry Blue Dragon, and gushed out from Xiao Chen's right arm. Before the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape could get up, a Blue Dragon flashed and crashed into its body.
"Bang! Bang!
Bang! Bang! "Four explosions rang out. The Bloodthirsty Devil Ape's five-meter-tall body was blasted into smithereens. Blood rained down from the sky.
With a suction force, Xiao Chen grabbed the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape's Spirit Core.
"Hu!"
The instant the Bloodthirsty Devil Ape died, the surrounding Spirit Beasts immediately charged at Xiao Chen. More than a hundred Spirit Beasts pounced at Xiao Chen.
"A bunch of beasts. You want to sit on top of the mountain and watch the tigers fight? How reckless!" Xiao Chen smiled coldly and drew the Heaven Ranked Roaming Dragon Saber.
"Shua!"
A sharp saber Qi flashed, and a Rank 4 Spirit Beast in the air was directly chopped in half.
These Spirit Beasts were mostly Rank 4, and a few of them were early-stage Rank 5. There were about a hundred of them.
After all, these high-ranked Spirit Beasts had their own Spirit Herbs. If they left now, the Spirit Herbs they were waiting for might be stolen by other Spirit Beasts.
Furthermore, the truly strong Spirit Beasts would not be too interested in this Blood Lingzhi.
All this while, Xiao Chen had been using the strength of his physical body. He had not exhausted much of the Essence in the Qi whirlpool in his body. Hence, although he had noticed the surrounding Spirit Beasts, he did not pay them much attention.
Xiao Chen executed the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art and his figure turned into a roaming dragon. He soared up and down, leaving behind many dragon images. These Spirit Beasts could not even touch his clothes.
Occasionally, the saber Qi on the Roaming Dragon Saber would be sent out, allowing Xiao Chen to kill these Spirit Beasts from a distance. Light flickered as the saber Qi moved about. Occasionally, a Spirit Beast would be chopped in half.
This was the might of a Heaven Ranked Spirit Weapon. Wherever the light passed, no one dared to fight it. This allowed Xiao Chen to test out the saber Qi that only a Martial Saint could execute.
The saber Qi of some early-stage Inferior Grade Martial Saints were not as dense as Xiao Chen's saber Qi. However, this Essence exhausted a lot. Xiao Chen only felt better after consuming a Qi Returning Pill. "Dang!
Dang! "
A Spirit Beast with pitch-black skin that was as hard as steel actually managed to block a few saber Qi. It roared as it charged at Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and executed the Roaming Dragon's Nine Transformations. He quickly turned into nine figures in the air. His saber light was withdrawn as he sent out nine Clear Wind Chops.
Instantly, a cool breeze blew. Xiao Chen's black hair and clothes fluttered in the wind, making him look very elegant. When the two figures merged together, Xiao Chen's eyes lit up.
The body of the Spirit Beast that had skin as hard as steel split into nine pieces. A large amount of blood spurted out.
Xiao Chen sent out a saber Qi and easily chopped another Rank 4 Spirit Beast pouncing at him in half. The Essence on Xiao Chen's body trembled. Not a single drop of blood landed on Xiao Chen's clothes.
Spirit Beasts were afraid of death as well. After Xiao Chen killed most of them like he was chopping vegetables, the remaining immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
The corner of Xiao Chen's lips curled up into a cold smile. He did not care about these scattered Spirit Beasts. He looked at the center of the herb field, where the Flowing Light Lamp was.
On the other side, he felt a sharp gaze that was filled with killing intent looking at him. It was the peak of the sixth rank spirit beast that was guarding the Flowing Light Golden Lamp.
Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense shot out like an arrow. He instantly saw the peak Rank 6 Spirit Beast.
It was a horrifying venomous snake. It had a body as big as a small car. When the snake coiled up, it looked like a small mountain. A cold light flashed in its eyes. It opened its huge mouth and its red forked tongue flicked in and out continuously.
Behind it was a small tree about half a meter tall that gave off a flowing light. The leaves on the tree gave off a bright golden light. When the wind blew, the light overflowed; it was very dazzling.
This should be the Flowing Light Lamp. The Flowing Light Flower would bloom only after five hundred years. After another five hundred years, it would bear the Flowing Light Lamp Fruit. It was a natural treasure close to Immortal Grade.
Xiao Chen recognized this venomous snake. It was a Rank 6 Spirit Beast, the Scarlet Crown Snake. Based on its huge body, it had probably lived for hundreds of years.
The killing Qi in its eyes slowly disappeared. Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief. It looked like the Scarlet Crown Snake would not leave the Flowing Light Lamp so easily.
The Scarlet Crown Snake's gaze seemed to be a deterrent. It saw that Xiao Chen frequently entered this herb field and killed Spirit Beasts to obtain herbs. It was warning him not to have any ideas about the Flowing Light Lamp.
Xiao Chen could understand why the Scarlet Crown Snake was so nervous.
Compared to humans, Spirit Beasts had a natural advantage in terms of physique. However, they were lacking in intelligence. No matter how crafty a Spirit Beast was, it could not compare to humans.
Thus, the importance of the Flowing Light Flower went without saying. If it had the intelligence of a human, this Scarlet Crown Snake might be able to become a spirit.
Comprehension ability was naturally attractive to Xiao Chen. However, it was not worth risking his life for it. Xiao Chen did not have much interest in this Flowing Light Lamp.
Withdrawing his gaze, Xiao Chen took out the Spirit Core of the Spirit Beast on the ground. After that, he unhurriedly picked up the three-hundred-year-old Blood Lingzhi.
After doing all this, Xiao Chen immediately piloted the silver warship and left the herb field. He flew towards the towering tree.
Xiao Chen was not in a rush to consume the Blood Lingzhi. After he landed, he immediately circulated his energy to treat his injuries. The head-on clash with the Blood-Thirsty Demonic Ape had accumulated a lot of internal injuries in his body. If he did not deal with them in time, it would leave behind hidden injuries in the future, harming him for life.
"Pu Ci!"
After an hour, Xiao Chen vomited a large mouthful of blood. The hidden injuries in his body had completely healed, eliminating any future problems.
After a day of silence, Xiao Chen did not do anything but recover his body. This was how battles of the physical body were. Injuring the enemy 1,000 times, injuring oneself 800 times.
When five thousand kilograms of force was used, at least ten percent of it would be transmitted to the body. This was a common problem for cultivators of the physical body. In the past, Xiao Chen was not clear on this. It was only because he saw it in the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art. Unless his physical body reached the level of Sage, this flaw was unavoidable.
Now that he knew, he could not be careless. Of course, he could not leave behind any hidden injuries.
Only on the second day did Xiao Chen start to consume the Blood Lingzhi. The Blood Lingzhi was close to three hundred years old. Xiao Chen used an entire day to completely refine it.
This made him slightly disappointed. This Blood Lingzhi, which he had high hopes for, only increased his strength by two hundred kilograms. It looked like the further he went, the more difficult it would be to increase his strength by relying on external forces.
Adding the two hundred kilograms of force, Xiao Chen's full power strike could reach a force of five thousand five hundred kilograms. After he circulated the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art, his strength could increase by another twenty percent.
In the following half a month, Xiao Chen searched for Spirit Herbs that were more than a hundred years old to temper his physical body. His strength slowly increased.
The third layer of the Dragon and Tiger Body Sculpting Art had also completely stabilized. He slowly advanced to the fourth layer, Dragon Roar Throughout the World, Piercing the Heavens.
With the tempering of the three-hundred-year-old Spirit Herbs, Xiao Chen's full power strike reached five thousand kilograms of force with much difficulty. Another two acupoints on his right arm opened up.
There was a total of eighteen acupoints on his right arm. A third of them were opened. The blurry Blue Dragon that Xiao Chen sent out also slowly became plump. He could clearly see the scales on the dragon's body; it seemed to have a trace of life.
On this particular day, Xiao Chen strolled around the herb field, searching for Spirit Herbs that were more than three hundred years old to increase Qi and blood. He had come here too many times. He had already collected all the herbs that were used to increase Qi and blood.
Now, it was getting more and more difficult to find them. His Spiritual Sense was useless in this place. There were too many herbs, and it was not easy to use his Spiritual Sense to sort them. He could only walk and search with his eyes.
"Boom!"
Just at this moment, the surrounding Spiritual Energy fluctuated wildly. All of it rushed towards the center of the herb field. In that instant, the Spiritual Energy was so dense that it was like flowing water.
Xiao Chen turned his head to take a look. The Flowing Light Marigold gave off a boundless golden light. It was resplendent and dazzling. The Spiritual Energy turned into a rainbow, covering the entire space.
