At that moment, the Star Grave Palace completely closed. According to the Heavenly Roc King's plan, no one above Martial Sage could enter.
The Heavenly Roc King broke through the barrier of the sky and flew into the depths of the boundless Starry Heavens.
Due to the Heavenly Roc King's death, the strong Heavenly Roc Race's strength had decreased significantly. Furthermore, the peak cultivators of the race had all died in the fight for the painting.
The golden age that the Heavenly Roc King created for the Heavenly Roc Race was gone forever. The Heavenly Roc Race's strength declined sharply. After a few thousand years, the Heavenly Roc Race became the weakest of the Hundred Races of the Fiend Domain.
Every hundred years, the Star Grave Palace would pass above the Heavenly Roc Race. The Heavenly Roc Race had never given up on summoning the Star Grave Palace, praying that it could summon the Heavenly Roc Race back to its former glory.
There was confirmed news that after several generations of attempts by the Heavenly Roc Race, the Heavenly Roc Race was really going to summon the Star Grave Palace.
As time passed, the once mighty Heavenly Roc Race left the bustling areas of the Fiend Domain long ago. They moved to the borders of the Fiend Domain, to the Sand Region four thousand kilometers away from Hunluo Province.
The Sand Region was a vast desert, desolate and devoid of life. All sorts of ferocious beasts roamed about. There were only a few small oases.
For the Heavenly Roc Race to end up in such a state, it was easy to imagine how weak it was.
If ordinary people could not travel four thousand kilometers, they would have to travel for a long time. However, to Mo Lingtian's group, it was not particularly far. In fact, it could be said to be very close.
Flying skillfully allowed them to travel thousands of kilometers in a day. Eight days later, a seemingly endless golden desert appeared before the eyes of the eight.
Mo Lingtian looked at the surging yellow sand and glanced at Xiao Chen behind him. His lips curled up as he said, "There are all sorts of ferocious beasts hiding under this desert. Flame Sand Snakes, Muddy Earth Lizards, Demonic Spotted Leopards, Bone Dragons, and many more. There are also the most troublesome Gold Corroding Worms.
"Xiao Chen, your physical body is the strongest. You will lead the way. Send us to the Heavenly Roc Race's summoning altar. I will point you in the right direction."
Xiao Chen smiled coldly in his heart. This fellow is really impolite. Let me just treat it as tempering my physical body. I will settle the score with him later.
Looking at Xiao Chen, who "obediently" came forward, the corners of Mo Lingtian's mouth curled up, revealing a proud smile. What White Robed Bladesman? He is like a dog in my hands. Does he really think that he can obtain any benefits?
"Hehe, Ling Tian, you're really something."
"What White Robed Bladesman? To think that he dares to challenge Bai Wuxue. Before Young Master, he does not even dare to fart."
When the five elders behind Mo Lingtian saw this, they immediately started to flatter Mo Lingtian.
"What do the seven giants count for? I, Tianzhong, am outstanding. In the future, when I control the Eternal Heavenly Sword School, I will definitely become the Eternal Heavenly Emperor and shake the Kunlun Realm with my might. Elders, let's go! "
The few of them sent voice transmissions to each other. Although they did not say it out loud, Nangong Qiong heard everything clearly. When she heard Mo Lingtian's final words, she nearly burst out laughing.
Wu Yuankai, one of the insufferably arrogant Ten Great Evildoers of Hunluo City, could only be beaten up by Xiao Chen. It was unknown where Mo Lingtian got his confidence to look down on Xiao Chen like this.
Bang, bang, bang!
The blazing sun hung overhead, and yellow sand covered the ground. Occasionally, ferocious beasts leaped out of the sand. Xiao Chen did not hesitate. He executed the Dragon Claw Fist and killed these ferocious beasts one by one.
As Xiao Chen walked, he moved like a dragon or a tiger. As his fists and claws moved, dragons roared endlessly. Unless it was a ferocious beast above Rank 9, most ferocious beasts would find it hard to survive more than ten moves from Xiao Chen.
As Xiao Chen practiced his punches and kicks on the scalding sand, he gained a lot.
In the past, Xiao Chen had always cultivated on flat ground. The more complicated ones were grasslands and forests. He had never practiced in a harsh environment like the desert before.
The blazing sun of the Kunlun Realm was several times larger than that of the Sky Dome Realm. This was the first time Xiao Chen experienced its might.
Without clouds to block the blazing sun, Xiao Chen's clothes were completely soaked in sweat in less than two hours. He looked like he had just been fished out of a river.
Xiao Chen's body suffered a torment for no apparent reason. If he were an ordinary person, he would definitely stop and rest properly, using his Quintessence to block the sun and let himself feel better.
However, Xiao Chen felt an incomparable carefree feeling. Under the blazing sun, he circulated his Vital Qi at full power. The integration of his muscles, bones, and blood seemed to have improved by another level.
It felt like he could break through the shackles of a Rank 1 Sage Body at any moment. Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. He could not help but put in even more effort to kill the ferocious beasts blocking his way.
Mo Lingtian looked at the sweating, murderous Xiao Chen a kilometer away. He mocked, "Indeed, a country bumpkin from the Sky Dome Realm. The sun of the Kunlun Realm is the strongest Yang-attributed flame in the three thousand great realms.
"Without clouds to block the sun, an ordinary person would die after being exposed to the sun for two hours. Given our cultivation, even if we were exposed to the sun without caring about the exhaustion, we would still end up with fire poison.
"If not for that, why would this young master care about a few bugs blocking the way?"
The five Eternal Heavenly Sword School inner sect elders also had mocking expressions on their faces as they echoed the elder's words.
Nangong Qiong was very experienced. Naturally, she knew that Xiao Chen was not stupid. It was impossible for him not to feel the might of the Kunlun Realm's sun. There had to be a reason for him to kill the ferocious beasts blocking the way so desperately.
Indeed, after observing for a long time, Nangong Qiong finally discovered the secret behind it. She could not help feeling startled. This fellow actually used the Kunlun Realm's sun to temper his body.
Furthermore, it seemed to be very effective. It was laughable that Mo Lingtian and the others mocked Xiao Chen as a country bumpkin, truly ignorant.
With Xiao Chen leading the charge, Mo Lingtian and the others had it easy. They only needed to deal with the occasional fish that slipped through the net.
Three days later, the bones in Xiao Chen's body gave off crackling sounds. Suddenly, he felt very relaxed. It was like he had just put down a heavy burden.
"My Rank 1 Sage Body has advanced to Rank 2."
Xiao Chen casually punched and exploded a Flame Sand Snake that leaped out. Then, he revealed an expression of joy as he squinted at the blazing sun in the sky.
Xiao Chen broke through the bottleneck of his Rank 1 Sage Body. This was a pleasant surprise.
Mo Lingtian, who was a kilometer away, did not notice the changes in Xiao Chen. As he fought with the ferocious beasts, all sorts of sounds rang out. These sounds were much more intense than the crackling of Xiao Chen's bones.
Furthermore, Mo Lingtian did not care about Xiao Chen at all. He felt that Xiao Chen was only a Superior Grade Martial Monarch. No matter how strong he was, he could not be that strong.
After one hour, Xiao Chen stopped advancing. The figures of the Heavenly Roc Race cultivators finally appeared at the limits of his vision.
Mo Lingtian met up with Xiao Chen. As he looked at the two Heavenly Roc Race cultivators patrolling in front, he smiled sinisterly and said, "We have arrived. After holding it in for so long, it is time to vent."
A purple crystal sword about two fingers wide appeared from Mo Lingtian's sleeve. He grasped the sword hilt, and suddenly, a boundless lightning-attributed Spiritual Energy gathered under his feet.
"Boom!"
An electric light exploded under Mo Lingtian's feet. His body turned into a bolt of purple lightning and soared into the sky. He was so fast that the naked eye could not catch him.
When the lightning disappeared into the horizon, Mo Lingtian's figure landed beside the two Heavenly Roc Race cultivators.
Electric light leaped around the purple crystal sword, and a sword light flickered. Two heads flew off with a 'shua' sound. The two Heavenly Roc Race cultivators did not even have a chance to cry out before they were killed.
The five old men quickly flew over and smiled. "Young Master's Thunder Steps are indeed superb. In an instant, you crossed two kilometers."
Xiao Chen recalled the process of Mo Lingtian executing Thunder Steps in his mind. After a while, he felt like he had gained something. He felt that this Movement Technique had many redeeming qualities.
Xiao Chen stood beside Mo Lingtian. Five kilometers below the sand dune, the Heavenly Roc Race's army had already split into a few groups, guarding the surroundings.
Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense passed through the groups and reached the core, which he could not see with his eyes. Then, he saw a vast and complicated formation.
Forty-nine dazzling clumps of light leaped around the nodes of the complicated formation. The overwhelming Spiritual Energy formed pillars of light soaring into the sky.
What a fellow! No wonder he dared to say that he would succeed. He actually gathered forty-nine Peak Spirit Veins and moved all the Spirit Vein's origins over.
For the sake of this summoning of the grave palace, the Heavenly Roc Race probably spent all the savings of the race on it. If they did not succeed, they would die trying.
In the center of the formation was an altar filled with an ancient aura. A young man wearing golden armor stood in the middle of the altar. He exuded a sharp aura and a heroic aura.
This young man glanced at the surrounding sand dunes. There were people hiding behind them with malicious intentions. His lips curled up in a sinister smile, showing that he did not care.
Seeing the other party's expression, Xiao Chen felt that something was wrong. A strange thought popped up in his mind. Could the Heavenly Roc Race have purposely leaked the news this time?
Mo Lingtian looked around and sized up the place. Then, he smiled faintly and said, "There are really many familiar faces here to join in the excitement. The Bone Mausoleum Hall's Wang Ying, the Soaring Serpent Mansion's Zuo Guangyuan, the Blood Shadow Sect's Teng Peng, the Heavenly Tiger Sect's Yun Feiyang, and the Magnificent Fiend Hall's Xiang Fei.
"There are also several Fiend Domain geniuses who came from afar. Unfortunately, they will return disappointed."
As Mo Lingtian spoke, he seemed to be very proud of himself.
Xiao Chen and Nangong Qiong directly ignored Mo Lingtian's words. They sent voice projections to each other, discussing how to find an opportunity to deal with these Eternal Heavenly Sword School half-Sages after they entered.
As night fell, the forty-nine pillars of light in the formation became even brighter in the dark night.
Everyone looked into the sky and saw a resplendent star that was clearly different from the others. It slowly moved across the sky, getting closer to the altar.
At this moment, everyone held their breath. Their eyes blazed as they quietly waited for the star to fall.
The star that belonged to the Heavenly Roc King was at its most resplendent in the dark night. At this moment, the Heavenly Roc King's star was at its most resplendent and dazzling. As it moved five thousand kilometers in an instant, it looked incredibly slow in the eyes of the people below.
A hopeful light appeared in Bai's bright eyes, revealing an incredibly determined expression.
Bai Chen muttered to herself, This is the Star Grave Palace. If I can obtain the Great Roc Spreading Wings Painting, I will not have to look at Elder Brother Xiao Chen's back anymore.
Back then, during the Five Nation Youth Competition, Xiao Chen defeated all the outstanding talents and was once the King Grade True Dragon. While Bai felt incredibly happy for Xiao Chen, she also felt a trace of loneliness as she looked at Xiao Chen walking in front.
She had been cultivating in the Heavenly Fiend Palace for a long time, but the distance between her and Xiao Chen had widened.
At that time, Bai Chen swore to herself that she would catch up to her Elder Brother Xiao Chen. Then, Bai would be able to fight shoulder to shoulder with him and not just look at Xiao Chen's back anymore.
