The people who originally occupied the first rank would definitely be dissatisfied. There would also be the King Grade True Dragons of the other Great Thousand Realms.
"Zhi!"
A sharp bird cry resounded. A black Demonic Beast with a leopard's head and eagle's body appeared in front of the throne. A berserk aura spread out as it sized up Xiao Chen with malicious intent.
It was a Demonic Beast, not a Spirit Beast. It was not frightened by the killing intent coming from the throne. Instead, it was eager to try, wondering if eating Xiao Chen would increase its strength.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes and punched calmly. An azure dragon head formed on his fist as he executed the Berserk Dragon Stance of the Dragon Claw Fist.
"Bang!"
The fist exploded and the berserk dragon roared. The leopard headed eagle did not even have a chance to dodge before the punch blasted it into a bloody mist.
"You overestimate yourself. You are just a mere peak Rank 7 Demonic Beast and you dare to block my path?"
Xiao Chen closed his eyes again. The scarlet throne did not stop at all. It broke through the bloody mist and continued flying forward.
Half a month later, Xiao Chen successfully broke through the bottleneck of the Firmament Body Tempering Art's fifth layer, reaching the sixth layer. Now, he could deliver five hundred tons of force with a casual punch.
With just the strength of his physical body, Xiao Chen was able to secure a spot among half-step Martial Monarchs.
Xiao Chen could already see the vast and boundless Heavenly Extermination Lake below. The islands on the lake looked like they were dotted with stars. The number of people in the sky slowly increased.
Not wanting to attract too much attention, Xiao Chen put away the throne long ago. Then, he used his Essence to fly in the air. From time to time, the Martial Kings that passed by him would feel a huge pressure and subconsciously move away.
"What a strong aura! When did such a strong youth come to the Ancient Desolate Land?"
Everyone's gazes filled with doubt. They could not understand what was going on. Right now, Xiao Chen's aura was so strong that even some of the older-generation experts sighed. He was truly an unrivaled existence among half-step Martial Monarchs.
"1000 meters northeast of the island in front, then dive straight down, and you will reach the place I said." Ao Jiao's voice sounded in his mind.
Xiao Chen glanced around and sped up. He turned into a purple line and landed on the surface of the water in a few breaths, splashing into the water with a splash.
Gulp, gulp!
Circulating his Vital Qi, Xiao Chen continuously increased the gravity around him. His entire body was like a lead ball that had fallen into the water. He dove down at an extremely fast speed, and bubbles kept appearing around him.
At first, he could still see some light, but after a kilometer, the bottom of the lake became dark. Even with Xiao Chen's eyesight, he couldn't see beyond a hundred meters.
Due to the refraction of the water, what Xiao Chen saw with his Spiritual Sense was hazy. He could only make out a rough idea.
Eh!
At this moment, Xiao Chen frowned slightly and let out a soft cry of surprise. There was a large patch of blood floating in the lake in front of him, giving off a pungent smell.
As he continued to dive deeper, there was more and more blood. However, he did not see any of the beasts that Ao Jiao mentioned. It seemed like this place had been swept by someone in advance.
"Bang!"
Xiao Chen's body trembled slightly. He finally reached the bottom of this Heavenly Extermination Lake, and his feet touched solid ground.
When he scanned the area with his Spiritual Sense, he could roughly tell that there was a majestic mountain range at the bottom of the lake about five hundred meters in front of him. It was a thousand meters tall and looked very vast.
The mountain range at the bottom of the lake was actually several times wider than the Lingyun Mountain Range where the Heavenly Saber Pavilion was.
The blood was also the densest in this place. When Xiao Chen looked around, all he could see was dark-red blood. It was viscous and did not melt for a long time. It gave off an extremely disgusting stench.
Occasionally, he could see the remains of some wandering Demonic Beasts. It was easy to tell that these were the worthless parts of the Demonic Beasts.
Seeing this, Xiao Chen was certain that someone had swept through this place before Xiao Chen.
"Ao Jiao, does anyone else know about this place?" Xiao Chen asked somewhat worriedly. If someone had gotten here before him, then he would have wasted a lot of time.
Ao Jiao shook her head slightly and said, "There is no need to worry. Those people should have some other purpose. This place is the birthplace of the extreme Yin Underworld Flame.
"Five thousand years ago, the Thunder King discovered the Spirit Vein by chance when he was retrieving the flame seed. He laid down some restrictions, making it very difficult for others to discover the Spirit Vein."
Firmament Flame?
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. His Lunar True Flame had already formed an Origin Flame. However, it had not absorbed any Yin-attributed flames. Compared to the Purple Thunder True Fire, its might was much weaker.
If he had an opportunity to strengthen the Lunar True Flame, he might be able to execute the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram that he used in the trial of desire.
However, the purpose of this trip was still the Spirit Vein's origin. There was no need to think too much about the Lunar True Flame. He would act according to the situation.
Xiao Chen stretched out his right hand and a surging Essence formed a suction force on his palm. The black blood mixed with the lake water quickly gathered in his hand.
"Hu chi!
Hu chi! "A scarlet whirlpool formed on Xiao Chen's palm. The surrounding lake water slowly turned clear. After a while, all the blood condensed into a ball of blood that had been compressed countless times.
Xiao Chen casually waved his hand, and the ball of blood flew up at an extremely fast speed. After a long time, it formed a pillar of water on the surface of the Heavenly Extermination Lake.
The ball of blood exploded and turned into a rain of blood. As it fell, the cultivators passing by were astonished.
While in the clear lake water, Xiao Chen used his vision and discovered a crack in the mountain range in front. That was the entrance that Ao Jiao mentioned.
Xiao Chen pushed off the bottom of the lake and moved like lightning. He entered that crack with a 'xiu' sound.
At first, the crack was very narrow. After walking for ten minutes, it widened. Clear footprints could be seen on the ground.
Based on the shape and number of footprints, there were quite a lot of people, at least a hundred of them. Xiao Chen did not know which faction of the Ancient Desolate Land did this.
Ten minutes later, the lake water in the crack had completely receded. The area in front suddenly opened up, and a vast world appeared in Xiao Chen's vision.
Stone pillars of all shapes and sizes hung upside down a kilometer above him. Cracks extended for five hundred kilometers on the ground. Occasionally, strands of Yin-attributed flames wafted out of the cracks.
Xiao Chen revealed a shocked expression. It was hard to imagine that there was such a miraculous scene in the mountain range at the bottom of the lake.
"Halt. The Holy Fire Manor is conducting business here. Would you please leave for now?"
Suddenly, two middle-aged cultivators leaped out from above. They wore the same clothes and held sharp sabers in their hands. They looked at Xiao Chen cautiously.
Because Spiritual Sense was not very useful in the Heavenly Extermination Lake, Xiao Chen had not released it at all times. He only discovered these two people after they jumped out.
When Xiao Chen looked around, he immediately made out the cultivation of these two people. They were peak Superior Grade Martial Kings. Their auras were not weak, and their Cultivation Techniques would not be weak, either.
They would be considered experts in the Ancient Desolate Land. However, in Xiao Chen's eyes, they were far from sufficient.
The Holy Fire Manor … Xiao Chen had a good impression of this sect. Back then, he and Bai Lixi had uprooted their branch in Desolate City.
The two of them had also killed their Young Manor Lord and an inner sect elder. Xiao Chen had not expected to meet them here today.
"In order to obtain the Netherworld Flame, we need a Martial Monarch expert to hold the line. Xiao Chen needs to deal with these two people quickly. We cannot drag this out!" Ao Jiao reminded him.
"Don't be unable to tell good from bad. Our First Manor Lord and Second Manor Lord are here. With your half-step Martial Monarch cultivation, they can destroy you with one finger. Be smart and scram."
When the person on the right saw that Xiao Chen did not move, he pointed at Xiao Chen and shouted.
The Holy Fire Manor had two Martial Monarch experts. Xiao Chen had heard about them long ago. It looked like they were both here.
Regardless of the cultivation of these two Martial Monarchs, if they worked together, Xiao Chen would not be a match for them. However, since he was already here, there was no reason for him to retreat.
Xiao Chen squinted and suddenly made a move. He stomped heavily on the ground, leaving a three-inch-deep footprint. He executed the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art.
A resonant dragon roar came from behind him. The person who spoke felt like a Blue Dragon was flying at him.
"Breaking Armor!"
When Xiao Chen punched, a sharp shockwave formed above his fist. It tore through this person's defense like it was made of paper and left a bloody hole the size of a bowl on his chest.
"Seizing the Heart!"
Xiao Chen's right hand turned into a claw and in the time it took for a spark to fly, he pierced through the second person's chest.
However, before this person died, he shot out a short arrow he had hidden in his sleeve. The arrow was coated with a special kind of fuel, and it quickly burned in the air.
Xiao Chen flicked his right finger and fired out a strand of purple flame. When the arrow was halfway up, he intercepted it.
"Chi!"
However, when the arrow exploded, it gave off a sharp, ear-piercing sound. The sound waves could be heard clearly within five kilometers.
"Let's go." Xiao Chen had not expected the arrow to be so effective. His expression changed, and he quickly fled in another direction.
A kilometer away, the hundred-man team of the Holy Fire Manor was currently fighting a large group of Flame Giants. These Flame Giants were Fire Spirits formed from Yin flames lingering in the air for a long time.
They did not have a physical body and did not feel pain. Furthermore, there were many of them, making them very difficult to deal with.
Two old men hovered quietly above the group. Extremely powerful auras radiated from their bodies. Every now and then, they would strike down a Fire Spirit that was blocking their way.
When the two old men heard the ear-piercing sound, their expressions changed at the same time. The gray-robed old man on the right said, "Big Brother, unexpectedly, aside from us, there is someone else who knows the location of the Netherworld Flame."
The blue-robed old man on the left said sullenly, "I am very fast. I will go take a look first. I'll leave this place to you."
"Xiu!
Xiu! Xiu! "Right after the blue-robed old man spoke, he quickly flew over. He was simply too fast. It was to the extent that the space around him was unable to endure it, and numerous mottled fissures appeared on it.
Xiao Chen was unlucky. The Holy Fire Manor's team happened to be blocked by the Fire Spirits, so they did not manage to get far.
To the blue-robed old man, he crossed the distance of one kilometer in a few breaths of time. After he arrived, he squinted and immediately saw Xiao Chen flying.
The blue-robed old man's expression relaxed, and a murderous intent appeared in his eyes. He smiled coldly and said, "You are just a half-step Martial Monarch and you dare to come here to join in the fun? You are too bold." "Chi!
Chi! "
The blue-robed old man raised his speed to the limit, and a pitch-black crack appeared behind him. Then, he chased after Xiao Chen.
After executing the Blue Dragon Cloud Soaring Art, Xiao Chen became like a flood dragon leaping about. He had already activated the Blood Flame Shoes long ago, but he still could not shake off the blue-robed old man's pursuit.
