Under the starry sky, a divine radiance illuminated the surroundings. It was resplendent and dazzling. Xiao Chen's entire body was sparkling and translucent. His red body gave off a divine aura.
All the fire seed lifeforms within a radius of several dozen kilometers bowed in his direction. This was their submission to their king.
Only the red diamond skeleton had a bitter expression on its face. It looked up to the sky and sighed. Right now, it was one rank lower than Xiao Chen. It was destined that it would be hard for it to escape Xiao Chen's grasp.
"Go and refine the remaining two strong fire seeds."
Xiao Chen did not want to mistreat him.
"Ah? Really?"
The red diamond king was overjoyed. Out of the three strong fire seeds, he managed to obtain two in the end. It was not a loss.
Xiao Chen did not turn around to look at him. He walked forward with large strides. The surviving fire seed lifeforms were all sprawled on the ground. None of them dared to raise their heads. This was the terrifying might of an expert. It terrified them to the extreme.
None of the obstacles in front of Xiao Chen could stop him. With a light wave of the bone saber, the huge stone tables and chairs would turn into dust. Xiao Chen walked straight ahead. Even if there was a wall blocking his way, it would melt like snow under the scorching sun.
Xiao Chen relied on his senses to advance, crushing everything in his way. Soon, he arrived at a sinister hall. This was originally a secret room. In the end, it was exposed by the destructive power of the bone saber. There was only a stone table in the deathly silent hall with a jade gourd on it. Xiao Chen walked over with large strides and grabbed it. Then, he opened the cork. A jade-green light immediately surged out, giving the hall a green hue.
It was actually the Life Origin Fluid. This was definitely a treasure for fire seed lifeforms. It could purify their fire seed and filter out baleful aura. It could purify their origin energy and increase the potential of fire seed lifeforms.
Xiao Chen held it in his hand and looked at it. Then, he closed the cork and tossed it into his spatial ring. If he absorbed it now, he could indeed purify his fire seed and increase his combat prowess. After all, this was a divine liquid that could restore one's origin. However, if he absorbed it now, it would be a waste. This was because he had not reached the end of his transformation. In the future, he would have to continuously refine fire seeds. Even if he purified his fire seed now, he would not be able to maintain it. Xiao Chen felt that it would be most suitable to absorb this divine liquid after he reached a higher realm.
"There's actually such a good thing."
The red diamond skeleton had already successfully refined two fire seeds. It rushed over just in time to witness this scene. It cried out again and said, "The heavens are jealous of geniuses. If I had come a few days earlier, I would have died …"
"Look at you. It's not like this is anything special. If you follow me, there will be plenty of benefits for you."
The Red Diamond King was taken aback. Why did this fellow in front of him say the word 'scoundrel'? Could he be the same kind of person as him?
However, when he saw Xiao Chen's current strength, he had no choice but to accept reality. He said, "After Big Brother advanced, his strength increased by a lot. If he advanced another rank, he would transform into a Purple Diamond King. At that time, we would be able to attack cities in this world of the dead."
His eyes shone with a fiery light. Refining the powerful fire seed creatures, occupying the cities of the world of the dead, and leading the army to the depths of the continent had always been his goal.
"Let's go. We'll leave this place first."
Xiao Chen swung his saber. The thick walls of the eerie ancient castle rumbled as a huge hole appeared. Moonlight immediately spilled in from the outside. Xiao Chen took a step out.
The bright moonlight illuminated the desolate plain. All the fire seed creatures retreated far away. There was nothing blocking their path.
"Do you know anything about the Life Source Fluid?"
Xiao Chen asked along the way.
"It's said that it's extracted from the bodies of gods. However, it's also said that it can be refined from plants. I'm not too sure about the specifics. I only know that it has many benefits for us fire seed creatures. It's really strange … "
The red diamond king seemed to have thought of something. He muttered to himself for a moment before saying, "Recently, the Life Source Fluid has been appearing in the remote regions. It seems that a major power is secretly supporting some fire seed creatures with potential. Could it be that they are planning something?"
Xiao Chen was startled. He said, "If what you said is true, then it seems that someone is nurturing experts with potential. This is not a simple matter."
Experts of Xiao Chen's level were very rare in the remote regions. No fire seed creature could stop the two of them. There were no delays along the way, and they soon arrived at the divine village.
The red diamond king was somewhat apprehensive. At first, he did not dare to approach them. He did not expect Xiao Chen to have such a close relationship with the Protoss. However, he quickly adjusted his mentality.
"Mr. Skeleton, you're back …"
Lil 'Horizon hopped over. He tilted his head to look at the red diamond king and asked, "Who are you?"
Some of the Protoss youths also looked at the red diamond king strangely.
"He's a companion I found for you. Don't you always complain that you don't have anyone to play with? I brought this fellow here."
"Oh, that's great."
He was overjoyed. However, the red diamond king wailed, "Do I have to take care of a child? Ah … How much worry can a ruler have? It's like a river flowing east in spring. How much worry can a ruler have? It's like a group of eunuchs visiting a brothel. How much worry can a ruler have? It's like the tears of a proud son of heaven. "
Xiao Chen directly smacked the king's skull with his bone blade, immediately shutting him up.
Not far away, the Protoss youths found him very interesting. They all surrounded him and watched with laughter.
The red diamond king was filled with regret. How did he get caught as a lackey? He was actually here to coax a brat. He was truly speechless.
"Don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."
Xiao Chen walked over and patted his shoulder. "Follow me, and you'll definitely get a lot of benefits."
After saying that, he brought the red diamond king back to his residence. Only Lil 'Horizon followed him. The other Protoss youths did not follow him.
Xiao Chen opened his Spatial Ring and poured out a pile of colorful diamond bones, startling the Red Diamond Monarch Beast.
"I think you should know the value of these colorful diamonds. I can provide you with a large amount. It won't be a problem for you to advance in a short time. You call yourself a wandering poet, so you must have been to many places. You should be able to sell these things safely and smoothly, right? "
"Bones."
Stars filled Horizon's eyes. He knew the value of these colorful diamond bones.
"No problem. From now on, you are my blood related big brother."
The red diamond king was indeed stunned. When he saw Xiao Chen piecing together two nearly complete purple diamond skeletons, he saw a brand new path of evolution. He said excitedly, "Damn, so you can advance like this. Wahaha … … I don't dare to say anything else, but no one knows the cities better than me. Finding me to trade with others is definitely the best choice."
Xiao Chen had given him hope. Naturally, he wanted him to serve him now. He took out a light yellow sparkling skull and said, "Can you sell this?"
"Yellow diamond skull?"
The red diamond king cried out in surprise. He extended his trembling hands to touch it and said, "Yellow diamond fire creatures have not appeared for many years. Even if they did appear, they would have already killed their way into the depths of the continent. I didn't expect to see one today."
"That's right. This is the skull of a king that is above the purple diamond. You should know its value. After all, it's not just the bones of four limbs. It's a real skull. Whoever controls it will be able to transform into a complete golden skeleton. "
The red diamond king naturally knew its value. Super evolvers like them — colored diamond fire creatures — were very rare.
If a non-colored diamond creature obtained a colored diamond skull, even if it wasn't a complete skeleton, it would still be able to transform the lower half of its body if nothing unexpected happened. Of course, they weren't true super evolvers after all. It would be very difficult for them to evolve the colored diamond to a higher level. Most of them would forever retain their original color.
A yellow skull meant a set of golden bones. It was the favorite of those super powerful white bone kings. If they didn't venture into the depths of the continent, yellow diamond fire creatures could be considered as unparalleled kings in the outside world. "This is a little difficult …"
The red diamond king looked at it for a long time before saying, "Yellow diamond is three ranks higher than purple diamond, but I'm two ranks lower than purple diamond. It's dangerous to trade with a white bone king of that level without sufficient strength."
"You don't have to trade with the most powerful king. I don't have a high requirement for the fire seed. It's fine as long as it's one rank higher than me, purple diamond rank."
"Alright, I'll do my best."
The red diamond king readily agreed. He was looking forward to advancing a rank with Xiao Chen. "I need to go out and take care of some matters. Why don't you pay a visit to every city and see which experts are suitable to trade with?"
Xiao Chen asked the red diamond skeleton to contact the traders. He was prepared to have the two elders from the Celestial Race accompany him when he returned. He knew that exchanging a bone for a fire seed would stop at purple diamond rank. It was impossible to trade for a fire seed of a higher rank. After reaching that rank, one could only undergo a life and death battle to evolve.
"When both of us evolve to purple diamond rank, who would we be afraid of? At that time, we can open up a few cities and conquer a large territory. We can become the leader of a region. Just thinking about it makes me excited."
The red diamond skeleton started to look forward to it.
"When you find a good buyer, we will advance at the same time."
Xiao Chen set off after paying his respects to the two elders. He wanted to enter the bone well again and return to the Nine Provinces.
He set off alone and entered the city where a sovereign king had fallen. Nothing unexpected happened. The bone well had already been concealed by a formation. Xiao Chen followed a specific footwork and jumped into the well.
Waves of radiance surged out from the bone well.
After Xiao Chen sunk into the bottom of the well, he felt the seven-colored radiance flickering. The vast aura of the Nine Provinces assaulted him head-on. The dream-like world spun unceasingly.
After that, he crossed over to the Nine Provinces.
He appeared in front of the ghost town as before. He was no longer as excited as when he first came here. Xiao Chen calmly circled around the ancient city and left with large strides.
After evading the guards of the ghost town, he followed the Yellow River and headed east.
After all, he was currently a red diamond skeleton. With his current appearance, it was impossible for him to enter the city during the day. Otherwise, he would definitely be treated as a ghost. He traveled from west to east, hiding during the day and coming out at night. He mostly walked in the desolate wilderness to avoid scaring the mortals.
The spiritual energy of the Nine Provinces was clearly different from before. Especially the famous mountains and great rivers were shrouded in divine energy. All the blessed lands had been occupied by the major sects.
Xiao Chen wanted to know what had happened during these years. He wanted to find Keke's whereabouts. He wanted to know how Tenax was doing. He wanted to understand the situation of Lawrence, Oxman, Kinsan, and Lychee.
"How is the gluttonous little thing?"
When he thought of Keke, Xiao Chen naturally couldn't help but think of Qingqing. That ethereal and intelligent girl was forever engraved in his heart. Every time he thought of her, he would remain silent for a long time.
He was resurrected from the world of the dead. He often prayed silently that Qingqing would also reappear in this world one day.
It was really difficult for Xiao Chen to get close to the crowd in his current appearance. This was a serious drawback. It made him unable to find out everything he wanted to know. Moreover, he didn't dare to make a move rashly. That was because the time he could stay in the Nine Provinces was very limited after using his power.
He wandered around like a specter from Mount Heng to Mount Tai, but he could only watch from afar … …
Looking at that familiar land, he felt very close to it. However, he had become like this now. When he recalled the past, he felt like he was in a dream.
He was once unrivaled under the heavens, but in the end, he could only hide from the crowd like a specter and appear in the dark. His heart was very complicated.
After wandering around at night for several days, Xiao Chen couldn't find the whereabouts of any of his old friends. He didn't know where they were now.
In the end, Xiao Chen went to the imperial capital and decided to fight there. After that, he would return to the world of the dead.
He couldn't find his friends from back then, but he could find some enemies.
The majestic imperial palace was made of red bricks and green tiles. It was richly ornamented. After the reconstruction, it was even more majestic and majestic.
Xiao Chen once charged into this place alone with the golden halberd in his hand. No one dared to stop him. However, now he could only sneak in the darkness and enter cautiously.
In the imperial garden, there were green pines, green cypresses, ancient vines, exotic flowers, and rare grasses. The fragrance lingered in the air. There were even strange stones, small bridges, and pavilions. It was a harmonious and lively scene.
Xiao Chen saw his former enemy, Zhao Lin Er, in the imperial garden. This empress who faked her death didn't age at all. She was still as beautiful as ever. In addition to the fact that she controlled the Nine Provinces now, she carried the pressure of a supreme emperor.
Her graceful and delicate body looked like it was carved out of the finest jade. She was extremely beautiful. Her jade legs were long and slender. She leisurely walked towards Xiao Chen's direction like a holy fairy.
There was another person beside Zhao Lin Er. It was actually the Nine-headed Divine Snake. His body was emitting a faint radiance, like a layer of precious armor protecting his body. He was currently discussing something with Zhao Lin Er.
Xiao Chen hid in the depths of the garden. He didn't move at all and listened quietly.
"I didn't expect the Dragon Rebel King to be so terrifying. Even someone as strong as you couldn't gain the upper hand against him."
Zhao Lin Er's voice was charming and magnetic.
The Nine-headed Divine Snake's cultivation had obviously reached the pinnacle. The divine radiance around him wasn't released on purpose; it was flowing naturally. He said, "I didn't expect him to be so strong. Next time, we must eliminate him completely. Otherwise, he will be a big problem."
"Ye Jiuchong and the other top five Qi Practitioners have already arrived at the imperial capital. You should attack together with them. The Dragon Rebel King will definitely die."
。 The Nine-headed Divine Snake frowned and said, "I want to fight him again."
Zhao Lin Er reminded him, "Kill him as soon as possible in case something bad happens. I heard that crybaby showed up half a year ago. If they meet again, they will be invincible. "
"That crybaby is indeed horrifying. I don't know where he came from. But if he shows up, that Golden Lion King will show up and fight him to the death."
The Nine-headed Divine Snake looked to the east and said, "The Dragon Rebel King is in the East Sea these days. I will go meet him tonight."
。 Zhao Lin Er said, "I will inform Ye Jiuchong and the others to help you."
"It's not that I don't want to work with them to kill the Dragon Rebel King. It's just that the Dragon Rebel King is very fast. If we fight him together, he will definitely hide."
"It doesn't matter. You go first. I will tell Ye Jiuchong and the others to catch up later."
Under the night sky, the Nine-headed Divine Snake turned into a beam of light and flew away.
Zhao Lin Er looked at his back and sneered, "You are just fooling me. We are just using each other. You are really not doing your best."
Then, she ordered towards the darkness, "Tell Ye Jiuchong and the others to move out."
Xiao Chen was furious. Zhao Lin Er was actually so ruthless. After so many years, she actually had the guts to kill Tenax. He really wanted to make a move, but he held it back in the end. He was no longer the Xiao Chen from back then. His power was only a flash in the pan. He wasn't sure if he could kill Tenax in one strike. Moreover, there were a few powerful experts protecting Zhao Lin Er in the darkness. This was not the best time to make a move.
After Zhao Lin Er left the imperial garden, Xiao Chen turned into a flash of lightning and left the imperial capital. He rushed towards the east. The Amethyst Divine Wings on his back allowed him to fly. He had an extremely fast speed. He arrived at the Eastern Sea before daybreak.
Just at this time, he felt something calling him from the depths of the sea. Xiao Chen was greatly astonished, so he entered the deep sea.
At the same time, many practitioners in the boundless sea felt an extremely powerful energy fluctuation. Everyone was heading towards the same region.
Recently, the Eastern Sea was a troublesome place. There were frequent battles between experts. Among them, the Dragon Rebel King had been challenging the experts of the Nine Regions for many days. It attracted many experts from all over the world.
Xiao Chen discovered the dragon island. However, that place seemed to be filled with a powerful force that prevented outsiders from approaching. No dragon actually left the island for many years. The inside of the island was hazy, the scenery couldn't be seen clearly. Only a world-shaking roar could be heard from time to time.
No one would look down on this island. When the dragon truly appeared one day, the power structure of the world would be thoroughly rewritten.
After taking a detour around the dragon island, Xiao Chen continued to advance towards the depths of the sea.
Along the way, many experts were flying in the sky. Everyone felt a terrifying energy fluctuation.
When Xiao Chen arrived, he discovered the sea in front of him was already filled with human figures. There were already many powerful practitioners in the ocean. Due to the recent gathering of experts, many experts naturally appeared in this region.
Xiao Chen saw Tenax and the Nine-Headed Divine Snake. They were confronting each other, but they didn't make a move. Their gazes would drift towards the surface of the sea from time to time. And the experts that gathered here were not attracted by the battle between the two kings. Everyone's gazes were fixed on this sea. The terrifying energy fluctuation was coming from this place.
Based on their experience, many people thought a spiritual treasure was about to appear.
With Xiao Chen's current condition, he could only watch from afar.
"Boom!"
Just at this time, the sea surged up violently. It rolled up a huge wave that reached the sky. After that, something shocking happened. A huge stone statue slowly emerged from the blue sea. It was actually standing in the middle of the sea like a towering mountain.
It was an inconceivable scene. The sea was rolling over and over, the waves were overflowing. The energy fluctuation was vibrating. A huge mountain-like stone statue actually rose from the sea!
There were twenty-four huge stone swords on top of it. Each of the huge swords had pierced through the body of the stone statue and firmly fixed it in place.
Everyone was dumbstruck. How could it be like this?
"It's … that person's stone statue!"
"Heavens, it's actually him!"
Those who recognized him all sucked in a cold breath.
Back then, when Xiao Chen blocked the ancestor god with twenty-four swords, almost no one knew about it.
However, they could still recognize his statue at a glance.
"Senior, who are you guys talking about?"
"Who is this person? It seems like everyone is afraid of him?"
Naturally, there were some experts who had never seen Xiao Chen before.
"It's that Xiao Chen from back then!"
As soon as these words came out, a cry of surprise immediately resounded.
"It's him?"
"How did his stone statue appear here? And it's so huge too?"
