Xiao Chen had refined the Quintessence that he had obtained using the Inferior Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls earlier. He would not give up on his hard work here.
After Xiao Chen consumed all the Earth Essence Fruits under a hundred years of age, he was only a step away from peak late-stage Martial Monarch.
Xiao Chen took out one of his remaining three Medial Grade Spirit Gathering Pearls. Using the surging Quintessence in the Medial Grade Spirit Gathering Pearl, he easily broke through this small bottleneck.
A Medial Grade Spirit Gathering Pearl was worth one million Superior Grade Spirit Stones. Even if ordinary people had Spirit Stones, they would not be able to buy one. It could be used to break through the bottleneck from Medial Grade Martial Monarch to Superior Grade Martial Monarch.
It was a waste for Xiao Chen to use it to break through this small bottleneck. However, time was tight. The True Dragon Cave had already opened, and most of the people had probably arrived already.
If Xiao Chen did not want the treasures in there to be snatched away, he had to strengthen himself quickly.
When Xiao Chen's cultivation reached peak late-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarch, he took out a Superior Grade Quintessence Gathering Pill. However, he did not rush to consume it.
When Xiao Chen thought about the pain of consuming the Quintessence Gathering Pill the last time, he could not help but tremble.
After taking a deep breath, Xiao Chen decisively placed the Quintessence Gathering Pill in his mouth. After chewing a few times, he swallowed it all.
Soon, the expected pain arrived. After experiencing it once, Xiao Chen experienced it once. Xiao Chen clenched his teeth and did his best to endure as large beads of sweat rolled off his forehead.
Time slowly went by. With every second that Xiao Chen endured, the pain intensified. Wave after wave of pain assaulted him.
Even though he had experienced it once, Xiao Chen's willpower was put to a great test. If he was not careful, all his previous efforts would go to waste. All his efforts would be for naught.
When the pain vanished, Xiao Chen did not feel relief. Instead, he felt numb; he lost all sensation.
After a long time, Xiao Chen's lips curled up in a bitter smile. He said, "Such pain … only someone like me would challenge it again and again."
With the aid of the Quintessence Gathering Pill, Xiao Chen's cultivation returned to early-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarch. However, the hundred white clouds around his dantian had all turned purple.
Xiao Chen stood up and withdrew his aura, not letting any of it leak out. His pitch-black eyes were like black gems, filled with luster and Spiritual Energy.
With a thought, Xiao Chen flicked his ten fingers, and strands of purple saber Qi circled around him, dancing around him.
Saber Qi flew everywhere, lightning flickered, and crackled incessantly. It was like a storm of sabers mixed with lightning.
Xiao Chen's long hair fluttered in the air. Amidst the storm of blades, he looked like a peerless killing god, showing off his sharpness.
Slash!
Xiao Chen shouted, and the sabers in front of him shot forward like ten thousand arrows. Ka ca! Ka ca! They exploded in the air.
If there was an enemy in front of him with a slightly weaker cultivation base, he would immediately be riddled with holes.
Xiao Chen nodded in satisfaction. After his Quintessence became denser, he could clearly feel his strength increasing. For this moment, all the pain was worth it.
Xiao Chen sat back down on the top half of the mountain. Then, he stretched out his hand, and rows of Earth Essence Fruits appeared in front of him. Even the youngest one was a hundred years old.
Ten two-hundred-year-old Earth Essence Fruits and one three-hundred-year-old Earth Essence Fruit. Such a horrifying harvest would cause others' eyes to go red with envy.
Xiao Chen thought back to when Hu Hai and the others saw ten two-hundred-year-old Earth Essence Fruits. If they knew that Xiao Chen had another Peak Grade Earth Essence Fruit, their jaws would probably fall off in shock.
As Xiao Chen looked at the Earth Essence Fruits before him, he smiled faintly and said, "The Savage Battlefield is indeed a land of fortuitous encounters. If it were under normal circumstances, how could my cultivation grow so quickly?"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen thought about the ferocious people he had seen since then: An Junxi, Bai Wuxue, Shui Lingling, and the Passionate Young Master. The excitement in Xiao Chen's heart could not help but fade.
Compared to these people, what did Xiao Chen's current accomplishments count for? How could he be complacent with just a slight improvement?
Xiao Chen's gaze was resolute as he said, "It is not enough, far from enough. After this Savage Battlefield ends, I need to be able to protect myself against the seven giants."
The Extreme Yin Sect's true inheritors mocked Xiao Chen. Before Bai Wuxue left, he had a cold and sinister look in his eyes. If Xiao Chen stopped there, he would die for sure.
An Junxi's casual whip sent the three-hundred-meter-long venomous python tumbling in the air. Murong Lingfeng's folding fan did not hesitate to kill a half-Sage loose cultivator when he saw one.
The seven giants treated half-Sages as nothing, casually killing them. However, Xiao Chen was still a Medial Grade Martial Monarch.
The mysterious son of the Three Holy Masters had already killed his way out of the Kunlun Realm.
In the vast Kunlun Realm, he was the leader of the human race's younger generation, traveling everywhere. His fame spread far and wide, shaking up the Kunlun Realm.
Xiao Chen sighed and said, "This world is very big. For the sake of seeing all the sceneries, I have to work hard and never give up!"
There were more than thirty one-hundred-year-old Earth Essence Fruits, ten two-hundred-year-old Earth Essence Fruits, and one three-hundred-year-old Peak Grade Earth Essence Fruit.
This was an immeasurably vast fortune. Xiao Chen spent three days and three nights before he completely consumed it.
After that, he spent another two days before he completely stabilized the Medicinal Liquid he refined. His cultivation rose to peak late-stage Medial Grade Martial Monarch once more.
Now, he was only one step away from Superior Grade Martial Monarch.
Xiao Chen had already refined his Quintessence twice. Long ago, he no longer feared regular Superior Grade Martial Monarchs. Now that he had advanced to peak Medial Grade Martial Monarch, the advantage of Superior Grade Martial Monarchs in Quintessence was gone.
Xiao Chen would even be able to hold his own against a half-Sage in terms of pure Quintessence.
He would no longer have to face Bai Wuxue's Great Icy Cold Palm, which was not a killing move. Xiao Chen would no longer have to use the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram.
Purple clouds drifted around Xiao Chen's dantian, which was covered in golden patterns. The purple clouds crowded together and looked like a moon surrounding the mysterious dantian.
Xiao Chen's vast Quintessence was at least three or four times stronger than Xiao Chen's before he entered the Blue Dragon Palace.
In the past, if Xiao Chen executed a Heaven Ranked Martial Technique, he could execute it five times in a row at most. After that, his Quintessence would not be able to keep up.
Now, Xiao Chen felt that if he executed the Blue Dragon Goes to Sea, he would have no problem executing it ten times in a row. Furthermore, he would have more than enough Quintessence.
The many purple clouds around Xiao Chen's dantian flickered with electricity. They were all the purest and densest lightning-attributed Quintessence.
At this moment, Xiao Chen's eyes were purple. Occasionally, electricity flickered in the depths of his eyes.
He probably would not be able to recover from this mysterious phenomenon anytime soon.
Xiao Chen casually opened his hand, and a clump of lightning-attributed Quintessence appeared in his palm. Then, he tossed it out.
The lightning-attributed Quintessence landed on the ground and exploded, creating a bottomless pit. Just as the dust rose into the air, the remnant static exploded and turned it into powder.
When the wind blew, it disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a hundred-meter-wide pit in the ground.
Furthermore, this was just a casual strike from Xiao Chen. His true strength was far greater than this. If he refined his Quintessence and turned it into saber Qi, it would be even more terrifying.
Speaking of lightning-attributed Quintessence, Xiao Chen could not help but compare it to An Junxi, the demonic genius rumored to be the strongest of the seven giants.
Back then, An Junxi had whipped the three-hundred-meter-long venomous python into the air. The vast lightning-attributed Quintessence had shocked Xiao Chen greatly.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. He supported his chin with his right hand and said, "In terms of Quintessence, I cultivate the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, which surpasses ordinary Heaven Ranked Cultivation Techniques. I refined my Quintessence twice in both Inferior Grade Martial Monarch and Medial Grade Martial Monarch.
"Even if he is a half-Sage and his Quintessence is very strong, it should not be much stronger than mine. However, even now, why do I feel that my lightning-attributed Quintessence is on a completely different level from his? "
A pretty figure appeared behind Xiao Chen. She said softly, "It is because his state of thunder has already touched the threshold of the will of thunder. Perhaps even more incredible, he has already grasped ten percent of the will of thunder."
Xiao Chen turned his head and discovered Ao Jiao yawning lazily as she spoke to him. This time, when Ao Jiao woke up, Xiao Chen discovered that she seemed somewhat different. However, he could not tell what was different.
He smiled warmly and said, "You are awake."
Ao Jiao rolled her eyes at Xiao Chen and muttered, "Nonsense. If you are not awake, who is talking to you? You really do not know how to find a topic to talk about."
Xiao Chen had long since understood Ao Jiao's temper. She always retorted first, so he smiled faintly and changed the topic. "Is An Junxi really as strong as you say? The will of thunder is not that easy to grasp."
Ao Jiao replied seriously, "That is natural. Furthermore, that is a conservative estimate. If he had grasped twenty percent of the will of thunder, I would not be surprised."
When Xiao Chen heard this, he could not help feeling disappointed and frustrated. This was the first time he had been left so far behind by someone of the same generation in what he was best at.
Right now, he had no idea what the will of thunder was; he had no idea where it came from.
Leng Tianhe once said that aside from Tianwu, the comprehension of a will required opportunities and horizons. Now that he had come to the Kunlun Realm and broadened his horizons, where was his opportunity?
When Ao Jiao saw Xiao Chen's expression, her heart tightened for some reason. She could feel the disappointment in Xiao Chen's heart.
The lazy expression on Ao Jiao's cute face disappeared. She giggled and said, "Don't overthink. You are pretty good yourself. You are not even twenty-two years old, and your state of thunder has already reached the limits. Furthermore, it contains the immortal attribute.
"As long as you comprehend a will, your will of thunder will become the immortal will of thunder. At that time, even if he has thirty percent of the will of thunder, you will not be afraid.
"The most important thing is that he is already thirty years old. He is eight years older than you."
Xiao Chen sat down and looked at the turbid sky. His gaze was resolute as he said, "There is nothing wrong with overthinking. As long as I do not get frightened by this pressure, it will be fine. I never fear any challenge."
Have a tiger in your heart, sniff the rose; have lofty aspirations, and do not fear the height of the sky.
Just at this moment, a Rank 8 Demonic Beast, Soaring Sky Demonic Leopard, flapped its scarlet wings. Demonic Qi surged from its body as it soared into the sky.
Its huge body cast a large shadow over Xiao Chen and Ao Jiao.
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes as he stared at the Soaring Sky Demonic Leopard in the sky. The Lunar Shadow Saber appeared in his left hand, and a murderous intent slowly gathered in his eyes.
Xiao Chen circulated his energy for the second move of the Dragon Subduing Slash. His vast Quintessence was like a calm river, gushing and flowing endlessly in his meridians.
"Hidden Dragon in the Depths, the gentleman plans before taking action. Soaring Dragon in the Sky, the dragon soars into the nine heavens, shaking the world!"
As Xiao Chen's Quintessence circulated, the little Azure Dragon in his dantian suddenly leaped out of his dantian. It pierced through the thick purple Quintessence clouds and soared into the sky.
