Xiao Chen had a grave expression. Blood leaked out of the corner of his lips as he controlled the spiritual liquid to pour it down. He did not hesitate at all.
Xiao Chen's expression did not change; he showed no fear. He was resolute and decisive. There was only one thought in his mind: to break through the bottleneck that ordinary people had been stuck for ten or twenty years in one go.
This was because Xiao Chen was not an ordinary person. He was not. He was not.
He was a one-in-a-million genius. He was the White Robed Bladesman who had never been defeated. He was the peak genius of this budding age of geniuses who could contend with the heavens!
In this age of geniuses, geniuses from all walks of life were like the stars in the sky; there were countless heroes from all walks of life, like carps crossing the river.
Cultivators were hot-blooded and had lofty aspirations. In this age of geniuses, they could endure the loneliness and the temptation. They dared to fight with the heavens, with the earth, with men. How could they show any fear?
Boundless hot-bloodedness and lofty aspirations. They only asked the heavens one question: Will I, Xiao Chen, reach the peak? If the heavens do not answer, then I will break the heavens. Will I, Xiao Chen, reach the peak? "Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom! "
Explosions rang out continuously in the Qi whirlpool. The shock waves caused his internal organs to sustain severe injuries. However, Xiao Chen did not relax or have any intention of giving up.
When the last clump of spiritual liquid fell into the Qi whirlpool, the entire Qi whirlpool exploded into primal chaos.
Pure Spiritual Energy surged out and spread throughout Xiao Chen's body. He immediately felt refreshed. The injuries in his chest were all healed in an instant.
Xiao Chen waited until the chaos slowly regained its clarity. He sank his consciousness into the purple Qi whirlpool. At this moment, half of it was gaseous, while the other half was a crystalline purple crystal.
Superior Grade Martial King! I succeeded!
Xiao Chen opened his eyes joyfully, and they gleamed. His eyes were as clear as crystal; they were incomparably bright in the white fog.
Xiao Chen opened his mouth and sucked in all the white fog and spiritual dew in the room.
"The Martial Dao is difficult. My path is even more difficult than that of ordinary people. However, I managed to break through to Superior Grade Martial King."
Xiao Chen said softly with a faint smile on his face as he sensed the pure and explosive Yuan Qi within the purple crystal cyclone.
Pushing open the door, Xiao Chen headed straight for Leng Yue's room. There were two refined Mid-Grade Secret Treasures waiting for him there.
Leng Yue took out the black leather gloves from the cauldron. When she saw Xiao Chen enter, she immediately smiled and said, "Congratulations, you succeeded. You did not die from the explosion of the Spirit Gathering Pearls."
Xiao Chen was in a good mood, so he did not mind Leng Yue's teasing. He took the black leather gloves and Blood Flame Shoes from Leng Yue and put them on.
Xiu!
Before Leng Yue could introduce the wondrous uses of the two new Secret Treasures, the two of them felt a chill descend from the sky at the same time. This chill passed through the windows and entered their bodies, making them feel very cold.
"Something's happened!"
Xiao Chen was shocked. The big event that he had predicted might really happen.
The two of them quickly went out and looked up. They saw the distant horizon.
A scarlet full moon had appeared at some point in time. It slowly rose and broke through the pitch-black demonic clouds, sending down a boundless light. "Roar! Roar!
Roar! "
Loud roars came from the Deep Sea Battlefield, sounding like they could topple mountains and flip the seas. The sound waves were vast and mighty. Even from far away, they could feel the air trembling.
Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly. He looked at the rising scarlet moon in the sky and muttered, "Scarlet moon … this is a real scarlet moon. What's going on?"
Leng Yue's expression did not change. She said calmly, "This is the Demonic Spirit Scarlet Moon. Once a Demon appears, its strength will increase significantly. The blood in its body will surge, becoming ferocious and berserk. It is very difficult to deal with."
Xiao Chen felt it was strange. He asked, "Then why are you not reacting at all?"
Leng Yue smiled and said, "What reaction can I have? However, when this light shone on me, my strength increased by at least twenty percent."
"What causes the Demonic Spirit Scarlet Moon to appear? Do you know what it means?"
Xiao Chen asked Leng Yue. She was an Advanced Demon. She should know some of the secrets behind this.
When the outstanding talents of the Boundless Sea returned to rest at the same time, Xiao Chen had already felt that something was wrong. Indeed, in less than half a month, this mysterious scarlet moon rose into the sky.
Leng Yue shook her head and said, "The Demonic Spirit Scarlet Moon exists in the Starry Heavens' End. During the Demonic Calamity, Demons will use the blood of ten thousand virgins to summon the Demonic Spirit Scarlet Moon to strengthen the Demons. If no one summons it, it will appear once every three thousand years. After that, it will appear every month for about half a year.
"As for what it means, you will know very soon."
At this moment, all the cultivators on the Divine Dragon Warship felt that icy chill. They all rushed out of their rooms and were astonished when they saw the scarlet moon in the distance.
Many figures leaped from roof to roof, rushing towards the Deep Sea Battlefield. Everyone felt that something was wrong.
Xiao Chen followed the crowd and rushed forward as well. He wanted to see what was happening.
The edge of the giant ship, which was also the direction of the bow, was already filled with people. As they got closer, they could hear the roars of the demon dwellers even more clearly.
Xiao Chen floated in the air and looked ahead. He could not help but frown.
Three huge pillars of light soared into the sky from the three outpost islets in front. Talisman scripts appeared around the pillars of light, linking the formations on the three outpost islets together and forming a barrier flickering with blue light.
Behind the barrier, there were countless demonic humans gathered. All 18 types of demonic humans had gathered together, and the number of each type of demonic humans was extremely large.
The Iron Demons with the strongest defense were at the very front. They acted as meat shields among the Demons.
Four thousand Iron Demons lined up like a human wall. They blocked all the Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons from the three outpost islets with their bodies.
Behind the Iron Demons was an unending chain of flaming clouds. The red flaming clouds were more than five thousand meters long. Many Fire Demons stood on top of them, sending all sorts of strong attacks at the barrier.
Behind them were Ice Devils, Winged Devils, Ghost Race, Blood Devils … all eighteen kinds of Devils were present. They gathered together and let out heaven-shaking roars. They were like an army as they ferociously attacked the blue barrier.
Under the unceasing attacks, the blue barrier that supported the sky began to ripple like water mist. If this continued, the barrier would be broken sooner or later.
Once the Divine Dragon Warship was destroyed, the three outpost islets would fall, which would directly threaten the Divine Dragon Warship. Once the Divine Dragon Warship was destroyed, the third grade Battlefield would go out of control. The millions of humans on the islands behind would have to migrate. The losses would be immeasurable.
"How can it be like this? The Demons in the periphery and the inner area have all gathered together. All of them are at least twenty percent stronger than usual."
"This won't do. If this continues, the outpost islets will fall sooner or later. We will also lose the Divine Dragon Warship. We will all lose our lives."
"Where are the Divine Dragon Palace's people? Why do I not see them? Where did they go? "
"Are you stupid? The elites of the Divine Dragon Palace are all in the core islands, guarding the high-ranked Demons. Otherwise, how would we have the opportunity to hunt Demons in the periphery and inner area? Any high-ranked Demon would be able to kill us."
Xiao Chen was not the only one who thought of the consequences of losing the outpost islets. The many cultivators on the Divine Dragon Warship thought of it as well.
"Xiao Chen, you are right. If we were still in the inner area, we would not be able to stand here."
When Bai Lixi saw Xiao Chen in the air, he immediately flew over. He said with a cautious expression, "What should we do? Should we retreat in advance? I think several people are thinking the same thing. They are already making preparations."
Xiao Chen looked around and discovered that this was indeed the case. The people at the front of the warship had already disappeared. These people had all flown into the air, their eyes flickering as they retreated far away.
Such a phenomenon was no exception. There was life and death in the experiential training. However, there was still a chance of survival.
If the outpost islets fell, the Demons would attack. Under the illumination of the blood moon, there would be no hope of survival against the Demons, whose strength had increased explosively. Furthermore, there was a large number of them.
Furthermore, the survival of the Divine Dragon Palace did not have much to do with these people. It was not their own sect, so there was no need to throw their lives away.
Xiao Chen's expression remained calm. He smiled faintly and said, "There is no rush. Although the inner sect experts of the Divine Dragon Palace are on the core islets, don't forget about the Southern Sea's Four Heroes, the Northern Sea's Four Young Masters, the Western Sea's Seven Knights, and the Eastern Sea's Little Dragon King.
"They are all half-step Martial Monarchs and above. Ten-odd half-step Martial Monarchs are a significant force. I believe that the Divine Dragon Palace summoned them back for this. "
Bai Lixi analyzed the situation and felt that Xiao Chen's words made sense. He chuckled and said, "I was the one who panicked. If that is the case, this is a fortuitous encounter for us."
To the weak, it would be pretty good if they could preserve their lives in such a dangerous situation.
However, to the strong, as long as there was a chance to fight, the endless number of Demons would be a large number of points, an endless source of wealth.
Confidence appeared in Xiao Chen's heart. A faint light appeared in his eyes. He had a resolute expression and said calmly, "That's right. With so many Demons, it would take a lot of effort to find them. Now that they are all gathered together, we can save a lot of effort. If this is not a fortuitous encounter, what is?"
During the instant Xiao Chen spoke, a strong aura spread out from his body. Bai Lixi, who was beside him, immediately felt pressure.
This was because Bai Lixi had just advanced to Superior Grade Martial King. His Essence was vast and pure, but he had not tempered it carefully. Hence, he could not control the Spiritual Energy as he wished. After a period of time, after tempering his Essence, such a situation would not occur.
Bai Lixi said in shock, "Xiao Chen, you advanced to Superior Grade Martial King?"
Xiao Chen had a deep gaze and a resolute expression. He nodded and said, "Yes, I just advanced. I already made a great vow on this Battlefield. I will not leave until I advance to half-step Martial Monarch."
"Dong!
Dong! Dong! "As the two spoke, the rumbling of horses' hooves came from behind. The neighing of horses mixed with the sound of hooves, sounding like thunder.
When the sound reached everyone's ears, their minds buzzed. Their Qi and blood surged involuntarily, and they had to circulate their energies to cover their ears.
