Xiao Chen muttered to himself for a while before descending from the sky and sitting cross-legged on the ground. He started recovering his energy. He intended to use Thunder Dragon Steps to rush over after he recovered to his peak state.
Xiao Chen circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation, and the surrounding Spiritual Energy slowly poured into the three hundred Heavenly Sage Laws in his body.
The Heavenly Sage Laws hungrily absorbed the Spiritual Energy of the world. The color of the Heavenly Sage Laws slowly turned denser and fuller. The electric light around Xiao Chen spread out uncontrollably, forming a faint light screen.
After a while, Xiao Chen opened his eyes, and a brilliant light flashed in them. After advancing to Martial Sage, his recovery speed was much faster than before.
The amount of energy he could store was also incomparable to before.
Electric light burst out from under Xiao Chen's feet. He did not hesitate to execute Thunder Dragon Steps and dashed through the air. With a raise of his leg, he crossed five kilometers.
The wind howled by his ears. As he moved like a meteor chasing the moon, Xiao Chen could clearly feel a resistance restricting his speed.
He did not feel this resistance when he burst out over a short distance. However, once he moved a long distance, he could feel it easily.
This was the void barrier of the Kunlun Realm. Unless he shattered space and entered the void, he would find it hard to increase his speed. If he forcefully increased his speed, he might even injure his physical body.
Xiao Chen thought for a while and discovered that with his physical body, he should be able to endure another twenty percent increase in speed. However, this was already his limit. Even if he wanted to increase his speed, he would not be able to do so.
Xiao Chen moved at full speed without any worries. He moved like a bolt of lightning, shooting through the sky. The people below could only see two lightning dragons flickering in the air. They could not even see the figures on them.
Soon, Xiao Chen left the vast savanna behind. The pillar of light in the distance became increasingly clearer.
A look of joy appeared in Xiao Chen's bright eyes. At this rate, he should be able to reach the Treasury Hall before sunset.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen, who was dashing through the sky, stopped. The sounds of fighting attracted his attention.
After traveling such a long distance, Xiao Chen noticed more than one fight. However, he did not stop.
The reason why the battle below could attract his attention was because the protagonists of both sides were not insignificant figures.
Three Deity Race Keepers of Light led ten-odd Deity Race cultivators, clashing intensely with the Fiend Race team led by the Peacock King's descendant, Kong Yuan.
Kong Yuan's side seemed to be in a bad situation. The thirteen Guardians of the Celestial Race didn't seem to be very famous within the Celestial Race. Their radiance was suppressed by the Divine Son and Divine Daughter.
But in the outer races, all of them were extremely talented youths. With Kong Yuan's strength, he could easily defeat one of them, and he could barely defeat two of them.
Facing three of them would be too much. Being able to guarantee that he would not be defeated within a thousand moves was already an extraordinary feat.
In addition, the overall strength of the God Race warriors was much higher than that of the Monster Race warriors. Although Kong Yuan's troops had the advantage in numbers, it was only a matter of time before they were defeated.
"It's Xiao Chen. Quickly release the signal and inform the people in other directions."
The Mental Energy of the Deity Race cultivators was extraordinary. The moment Xiao Chen paused in the air, he was immediately discovered by the three Guardians. One of them shook his right hand, preparing to release the signal.
Xiao Chen frowned. Originally, he had not planned on meddling in other people's business. However, he instantly made up his mind.
With a flip of his hand, the Soul Slayer Bow appeared. Xiao Chen nocked an arrow and drew the string. He executed this series of actions very smoothly. All his Vital Qi surged out without holding anything back.
It seemed like thunder rumbled in Xiao Chen's body. A formless aura gathered in the surroundings as the bowstring was drawn.
The Soul Slayer Bow was as mighty as its Vital Qi. However, Xiao Chen rarely used its full power. The damage to his arm would be too great. At most, he would only need to draw it three more times before his arm would be crippled.
However, at this moment, Xiao Chen could not care so much.
Xiao Chen released his fingers, and the arrow tore through the air, disappearing in a flash. Before the Guardian with his right arm could release the signal, the arrow pierced through his wrist.
His wrist was pierced by the arrow, the tail of the arrow trembling, bringing with it a massive force, directly pulling him to the ground. The arrow pierced through his wrist and stabbed into the ground along with his arm.
"Buzz!"
Only at this moment did the sound of the arrow tearing through the air reach Xiao Chen's ears. The speed of this arrow had already surpassed the speed of sound by several times.
Xiao Chen returned the bow to the Universe Ring. Just as that Guardian's leg and arm were pinned to the ground by the arrow, electric light surged under Xiao Chen's feet and he quickly gave chase.
Xiao Chen's speed was frighteningly fast. The Guardian's heartbeat suddenly sped up. His sea of consciousness surged, and his strong Mental Energy turned into thousands of weapons flowing with holy light. These weapons surged out, trying to stop Xiao Chen for a moment.
"Dragon Tone Art, break!"
Xiao Chen roared, and the sound waves turned into a dragon-shaped shockwave surging out. "Ka ca! Ka ca!" The thousands of weapons shattered, turning into boundless holy light spreading everywhere. However, they could not stop Xiao Chen at all.
The Deity Race Guardian, who had just pulled the arrow out of his wrist, endured the intense pain. Before he could get up, he saw a bolt of lightning flashing in the spreading holy light.
In the next moment, a white figure leaped out. This person held a saber hilt with both hands and pointed the long saber downwards. The saber carried the momentum of lightning as it pierced through the Guardian's inner vest, pinning him to the ground again.
However, this time, the target was not the wrist but the heart, a fatal spot for any cultivator.
A light flashed, and this Guardian died on the spot, teleported out of the Sage Mark Monument.
When Kong Yuan saw Xiao Chen make a move, he could not help rejoicing. His figure trembled, and he revealed his Fiend Body, a huge blue peacock flickering with light.
Kong Yuan firmly suppressed the two Guardians, who were preparing to retreat, forcing them to retreat.
Since Xiao Chen made a move, there was naturally no need to think about anything else. He pushed off the ground and worked with Kong Yuan to deal with the two Guardians.
Kong Yuan alone could defeat two Guardians. With Xiao Chen's help, he was like a tiger that had grown wings. Soon, he killed the two.
The blue peacock gave off a berserk aura. Under its beautiful appearance was an immeasurable ferocity.
After the three Guardians died, the remaining Deity Race cultivators decisively scattered and fled. They did not linger or fight to the death.
Kong Yuan reverted to his human form and looked at Xiao Chen, who sheathed his saber. His expression was somewhat complicated. However, he still said happily, "Many thanks for your help this time."
The two had a grudge in the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring. Just as they were about to fight, Di Wuque had appeared and stopped them. Now, coincidentally, they worked together because of the Deity Race.
Xiao Chen was not that narrow-minded. He did not have any irreconcilable grudges with Kong Yuan, nor did they have any conflicts of interest.
If Xiao Chen could gain another friend through this matter, it might not be a bad thing. Xiao Chen said calmly, "You are too polite. With your strength, you should be able to leave after revealing your Fiend form."
Kong Yuan glanced at the remaining Fiend Race cultivators and sighed softly, "The Treasury Hall is not far away. It is too unfortunate that these clansmen have stopped here. If I can put in some effort, I will do my best as well."
Xiao Chen felt excited. To think that Kong Yuan could still think about his clansmen in such a situation, he could be considered a man. His status as the Peacock King's descendant was not in vain.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Why are those Deity Race cultivators attacking you here?" Xiao Chen asked out of curiosity. They were almost at the Treasury Hall. What were they doing here instead of searching for treasures?
Kong Yuan's expression turned sullen. He said, "Di Wuque led the Deity Race's people and arrived here first. They guarded the passageways and blocked all the cultivators of the other races who tried to get close."
What a big move. With the strength of one race, he wants to block all the cultivators of the other races? Di Wuque's appetite is too big.
Could it be that he wants to take all the Secret Treasures in the Treasury Hall by himself?
Xiao Chen voiced his doubts. Kong Yuan shook his head and explained, "It's not like that. As long as the cultivators who enter the Treasury Hall obtain two Secret Treasures, they will automatically be sent out.
"The Treasury Hall has a total of five floors. Each floor has a King Grade Secret Treasure. What Di Wuque really cares about are these five King Grade Secret Treasures. His main purpose is to delay us. Of course, if we are weaker, we will be chased out of the Sage Mark Monument."
Xiao Chen found this strange. He asked, "The Sage Mark Monument opens once every ten years. It has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. Could it be that the Secret Treasures in there have not been emptied out?"
Kong Yuan could not explain this, either. He replied, "I'm not sure about that. In any case, every ten years, there will be more Secret Treasures in the Treasury Hall. There will be at least five King Grade Secret Treasures.
"There are rumors that the Sage Mark Monument does not exist alone. There are strong and mysterious existences in there as well. Those Secret Treasures were collected or refined by those strong existences."
Xiao Chen thought for a while. If there really was a mysterious existence that could freely enter and exit the Sage Mark Monument, how strong would that existence be?
After all, when the Sage Mark Monument opened, even Sovereign Martial Emperors could not get close. Only Inferior Grade Martial Emperors could enter. Could that mysterious existence be even stronger than Sovereign Martial Emperors?
However, these were just guesses. Perhaps there was no mysterious existence.
"I want to meet up with the The Fox King's descendant, Yuan Xu. Let's part ways here. If we meet in the Treasury Hall, we can compete based on our own abilities. How about that?"
When Kong Yuan saw that the group of Fiend Race cultivators had more or less recovered, he prepared to take his leave.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "That would be for the best. Goodbye."
As Kong Yuan watched Xiao Chen leave, his expression slowly turned grave.
A Fiend Race old man behind Kong Yuan walked over and said, "This Xiao Chen really has some of the elegance of the Qing Emperor back then. With just a raise of his hand, he destroyed a Deity Race Keeper of Light. Such strength is probably no weaker than Di Wuque's."
Kong Yuan calmly analyzed, "He does indeed have some of the elegance of the Qing Emperor. However, compared to Di Wuque, he is still lacking. Earlier, he killed that Keeper of Light mostly because of the bow in his hand.
"In the end, his accumulations are still lacking. Even now, Di Wuque's true strength is a mystery. However, Xiao Chen's potential is very terrifying. Who could have imagined that he had only been in the Kunlun Realm for a mere two years?"
After parting with Kong Yuan, Xiao Chen met with several outstanding talents who had broken through the Deity Race's blockade. All of them rushed to the Treasury Hall.
