After some speculation, they concluded that something had changed with the Underworld God Guards and that they had changed targets.
Xiao Chen and Lin Feng decisively chose to enter closed-door cultivation to break through without hesitation.
This opportunity was fleeting. If they missed it and the Underworld God Guards recovered their wits, they would be trapped in this Final Blood Battlefield forever.
Xiao Chen chose to refine the divine nature flame, and Lin Feng chose the Divine Grade Peony's lifeforce. He wanted to make a breakthrough while lingering between life and death.
Comparing the two, Xiao Chen was much safer than Lin Feng. He only needed to refine the divine nature flame.
Lin Feng had to risk the rebound of his lifeforce. If he could not endure it, the consequences would be dire.
Choosing the Death Dao Domain required an unimaginable price. However, it was nothing special to Lin Feng.
Above the Ice Fire Lotus Platform:
Xiao Chen sat cross-legged and circulated his energy with his eyes closed, using the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art to refine the divine nature flame.
Back then, Xiao Chen had absorbed only a tenth of the divine nature flame left by an ancient Demonic Sovereign, allowing him to recover from his injuries and return to his peak.
If Xiao Chen could absorb all of it, he would be filled with anticipation. What kind of opportunity would he obtain?
In the Soul Pool, the Divine Flame filled the entire Soul Sea. The black flame was burning fiercely. As far as the eye could see, the entire Soul Pool was filled with this Divine Flame.
The Blue Dragon Divine Seal in the center of Xiao Chen's Soul Sea frantically absorbed this black flame.
Time passed. Soon, one day and night passed.
In his Soul Pool, Xiao Chen's Blue Dragon Divine Seal flickered with light as the divine nature flame absorbed it.
Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on the Ice Fire Lotus Platform with his eyes closed, appearing very holy.
Specks of holy light appeared around him, as if he was bathing in a celestial rain.
The sun and moon behind him shone together, looking very wondrous.
Xiao Chen could clearly feel his Soul Energy growing at a horrifying rate, continuously climbing.
"Boom!"
The Blue Dragon Divine Seal in Xiao Chen's Soul Pool flickered with light before exploding. The scattered Soul Pool quickly regathered and formed a brand-new Divine Seal.
A halo appeared around the Azure Dragon Divine Seal, bathing the entire Divine Seal in divine light.
Before Xiao Chen's Divine Energy broke through, his Soul Energy already reached the level of a 1-Vein Sovereign Emperor.
Xiao Chen was overjoyed. There was still half of the ancient Demon Sovereign's divine nature flame left to be absorbed. This was just the beginning.
Indeed, two days later, Xiao Chen's Soul Energy broke through again, reaching 2-Vein Sovereign Emperor.
An even larger Divine Vein halo appeared around the Azure Dragon Divine Seal. Bathed in the two layers of Divine Vein halo, Xiao Chen's body trembled.
He could clearly feel that the power of the Divine Seal was no longer the same as before.
The greatest difference between a Sovereign Emperor and a Human Monarch was that aside from Divine Energy, their Divine Seals could be infused into their Dao Domains.
With the support of the Divine Seal, the Dao Domain was like it had blood, flesh, and soul. Its might was completely different.
Even now, Xiao Chen possessed the Soul Energy of a 2-Vein Sovereign Emperor. Even if his cultivation was lacking, he would not fear a 2-Vein Sovereign Emperor in a clash of Dao Domains.
Of course, this wasn't the end, because there was still a third of the Divinity Flame remaining.
The last third was the essence of the Ancient Demonic King, a Real God expert's Divine Fire.
Whether Xiao Chen could break through or not depended on this.
After another three days, the ten thousand dragon images on the Divine Energy Sea under Xiao Chen's dantian suddenly gave off a bright golden light.
The dragon images turned into beams of divine light and charged out of the Divine Energy Sea, continuously crashing into each other.
After advancing to Sovereign Emperor, Xiao Chen's body no longer had an ordinary body. He had already shed his mortal body. The Divine Veins in Xiao Chen's body waited to be opened. Once they were opened, his Divine Energy could circulate unobstructed.
The Divine Veins would no longer be controlled by the meridians but by the stronger Divine Veins.
"Bang!
Bang! Bang! "As the ten thousand beams of divine light continuously charged, the bottleneck Xiao Chen held started to loosen.
Since entering the Heavenly Alliance for more than a year, Xiao Chen had been making preparations. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be able to open a Divine Vein within three years.
Now that Xiao Chen obtained the divine nature flame and his Soul Energy soared, it also stimulated his cultivation.
This was a form of reciprocation. It was like how a person's spirit would improve after their body recovered. When the soul grew stronger, it would also nourish the physical body. Essence, Qi, and spirit became one, influencing each other.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Chen frantically tried to break through his bottleneck. This time, Xiao Chen was determined to succeed. He was very confident in himself.
Xiao Chen tried again and again and failed again and again. With each failure, he suffered great pain.
However, Xiao Chen did not care. He firmly believed that as long as he persisted and did not give up, there would be a result.
"Boom!"
Xiao Chen did not know how many times he failed, so many that he could not even remember. Then, he heard an explosion in his Divine Energy Sea.
It seemed like a brand new door opened in his physical body.
A Divine Vein opened from the dantian to the heart, then to the forehead. Finally, it connected to the Soul Pool and the Divine Seal.
Good things came in pairs. Just as Xiao Chen felt confused, his Soul Energy broke through again.
Another ring of light appeared under the Blue Dragon Divine Seal. His Soul Energy now reached the level of a 3-Vein Sovereign Emperor.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes. However, he did not show joy in them. Instead, he appeared somewhat confused.
Breaking through to 1-Vein Sovereign Emperor was understandable. Xiao Chen had been preparing for this for a year. Furthermore, he cultivated two powerful Cultivation Techniques, the Ten Thousand Dragons Art and the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art. Even without this divine nature flame, breaking through would have been a matter of time.
What confused Xiao Chen was that his Soul Energy had increased so quickly. In a mere seven days, he had reached 3-Vein Sovereign Emperor.
This was an incredible progress.
In reality, Xiao Chen had somewhat underestimated the divine nature flame. This was the divine nature flame of an ancient Demonic Sovereign's true body.
It was not as simple as Xiao Chen thought.
However, the true reason was Xiao Chen's body. The Thunder Cliff Tree, a one-hundred-thousand-year-old Herb King, that he had consumed and refined in the Faux God World long ago, already had terrifying accumulations.
Many Medicinal Properties had settled in his body, not being activated. That was a natural treasure that tempted even Faux Gods.
The benefits it brought far surpassed Xiao Chen's expectations. Furthermore, Xiao Chen's Soul Energy accumulations were very strong, resulting in such a horrifying increase in his Soul Energy.
If it was anyone else, even if they refined the Flames of Divinity, only their Soul Energy and cultivation would increase by one element each.
If it were a 3-Vein Sovereign Emperor or above, the effects would be significantly reduced after refining it. It would be unknown whether they could break through or not.
"This is still somewhat terrifying. I need to consolidate my strength."
Xiao Chen could not figure out the reason. After calmly analyzing it, he felt that advancing his Soul Energy too easily might not be a good thing.
If it were anyone else, they would definitely rejoice.
However, Xiao Chen had his own plans. How could he limit his vision to that of a 3-Vein Sovereign Emperor? He considered even further.
Xiao Chen imagined his opponents to be the experts of the entire Great Thousand Realms, the entire Martial Epoch. He was no longer the Xiao Chen of the past.
Xiao Chen leaped down from the lotus platform and stretched his body. With a thought, he felt his Divine Energy Sea surge with strong waves.
The surging Divine Energy gathered in his palm through his Divine Veins.
What was even more miraculous was that this Divine Energy already contained his Dao Domain and Soul Energy.
That Divine Vein connected the nodes of his Divine Energy, Divine Seal, and physical body, merging the three into one. Now, Xiao Chen truly entered the Sovereign Emperor Realm.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen felt a sharp light turn into a surging aura pressing over from the side.
Xiao Chen turned around and looked over. That surging aura instantly became like mud falling into the sea before him, vanishing into nothing.
It was Lin Feng, who had broken through at this moment, successfully advancing to 1-Vein Sovereign Emperor.
Lin Feng opened his eyes and happened to meet Xiao Chen's gaze. He immediately felt immense pressure, feeling like he was weaker than the other party from the depths of his soul.
What's going on?
His cultivation is clearly the same as mine. Why does he give me such immense pressure?
Shock appeared in Lin Feng's eyes. He could not figure it out no matter how he thought about it.
"You broke through?"
Xiao Chen asked softly as he walked over.
Lin Feng nodded and stared at Xiao Chen for a while. Then, he said, "You seem to be … somewhat different."
Xiao Chen did not deny it. His Soul Energy had reached 3-Vein Sovereign Emperor. Even if Xiao Chen did not do it on purpose, Lin Feng could feel the pressure.
It was just like when Xiao Chen faced Luohou Wang back then.
When Luohou Wang stood beside Luohou Wang, Lin Feng could feel the pressure unless Luohou Wang purposely withdrew his Soul Energy.
However, doing so was very tiring. It was like pretending to be thin despite being a Fatso.
Reaching 3-Vein Sovereign Emperor's Soul Energy was still somewhat exaggerated. Xiao Chen did not intend to tell Lin Feng. He nodded and said, "Yes, the divine nature flame is even more extraordinary than I imagined."
Lin Feng understood. So, that was the case. Then, he said, "That is natural. After all, you are an ancient Demonic Sovereign, a bona fide True God. Congratulations."
Xiao Chen nodded slightly, and confidence appeared in his eyes. "It looks like we guessed right. The Underworld God Guards do indeed have a new target and have no time to care about us. However, with our current strength, even if we walk out openly, we do not have to worry about them surrounding us. "
"Whoosh!"
With their strength improving, the two felt very confident of charging out of the Final Blood Battlefield.
Just at this moment, a flash of scarlet flame entered the two's vision. The Demon Blood Vulture had returned.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Then, he looked at Lin Feng and said, "The Demon Blood Vulture said that it sensed from afar that the Underworld God Guards are fighting with someone. It seems like the battle is very intense."
Lin Feng immediately felt interested. He said coldly, "Let's go and take a look. The enemies of the Underworld God Guards are our friends."
"That's what I was thinking."
In reality, the two wanted to teach the Underworld God Guards a lesson. Given Xiao Chen and Lin Feng's characters, they had been chased miserably for more than a month, stuck in the Final Blood Battlefield, unable to leave. How could they let them off so easily?
If there was an opportunity, they would definitely make a move to take revenge.
