Chapter 796 - Unparalleled Tyrant
Mobile Read
Looking at Xiao Gu’s overwhelming aura, Long Chen’s battle intent soared. This was the first time he had met a Sea Cleaving cultivator as an opponent. .
Huang JunMoXie from the Blood Slaughter Hall had killed dozens of Sea Cleaving stage cultivators. This proved just how terrifying of a powerhouse he was.
Now that Long Chen was facing Xiao Gu, his fighting spirit was awe-inspiring. This was a contest, and a test. With this, he could see the difference between him and Huang Junmo.
Although Long Chen and Xue You had fought before, both of them weren’t at their peak states. That battle didn’t count, but now that they were fighting with Xiao Gu, one reason was because of this idiot, Long Chen didn’t like him, but one reason was because he wanted Xiao Fei to come out. Another reason was to test his strength.
"Divine Ring — Appear."
Weng! *
Suddenly, the divine ring lit up, and the heaven and earth began to resonate. A powerful pressure shot into the sky, shattering the clouds in all directions and shaking the entire universe.
No one present, including the old patriarch and the white-eyed old man, had ever seen such a battle skill before. All of them were shocked beyond belief.
At this moment, the divine ring on Long Chen’s back was floating and a four-colored halo was revolving around him, illuminating him like a god descending to the world, looking down upon the heavens.
"Split the Heavens!"
Facing a Sea Cleaving Realm cultivator, Long Chen attacked with all his might without holding back.
The shadow of the blade rushed up into the air. The terrifying pressure caused the space around it to rumble as if it was being torn apart. Waves of energy roiled about as divine light blasted down towards Xiao Gu.
"Open!"
Xiao Gu gave a loud shout and the aura of his entire body erupted. The strange phenomenon was stirred up behind him. It was like an ocean was roaring towards him, his aura overwhelming.
"Boom!"
As the long blade and the long spear collided, a deafening explosion resounded, as if space itself was being smashed apart. The terrifying sound waves caused some people to feel dizzy and dizzy.
Everyone was overwhelmed with shock. Although this place was simple and crude, with the support of an ancient formation, it was difficult for its power to penetrate through. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been allowed to fight here.
But even so, the two of them continued to pass through the formation. Some of the disciples who were closer to them paled and hurriedly retreated into the distance.
“What a terrifying aura of invincibility, could it be that he walkes the path of invincibility?” The old patriarch was shocked. Although he was already at the end of his life, his eyes were extremely sharp. He could see the invincible will radiating from Long Chen’s bones.
In front of that will, it was as if the heavens and the earth were bowing their heads and the nine heavens and the ten earth were crawling at his feet. It was truly too scary, but he could not pass through the invincible dao.
"Their auras are very similar, but they have different beliefs in their bones. They are not the will of the heavens, but the strong desire to destroy all the heavens!" The white-eyed old man said with a solemn expression as the red light in his eyes moved and stared at Long Chen.
The old chief was currently shocked. The Heaven Eye Race rarely looked at people with their naked eyes. This old man was an extremely terrifying figure. He was currently using his Heaven’s Eyes to capture Long Chen’s movements even though he was only using his source energy.
Watching the divine ring move like a Monarch overlooking the endless sky and filled with a domineering aura, Xiao Fei and Xiao Yu’s eyes were filled with worship.
In all their lives, they had never seen such a tyrannical person. Long Chen had a powerful will that could subdue all things. Every movement, every glance, even the fluttering of his hair, made people feel extremely domineering.
Let alone Xiao Fei, these two little guys, even the elders of the Xiao Clan had never seen such a domineering person. Watching him fight made one’s blood boil.
The only person on the field who didn’t feel his blood boiling was Xiao Gu. Not only did he not feel his blood boiling, he also felt that his blood wasn’t hot anymore, and his heart was feeling cold.
Ever since Long Chen made his move, he had felt that he wasn’t fighting a single person, but rather an arrogant deity. He was oppressed by Long Chen’s aura and was actually unable to unleash his full strength.
Long Chen’s clothes fluttered in the wind and his long hair fluttered in the wind. A cold light shot out from his eyes like two sharp blades as he coldly looked at Xiao Gu. The long blade in his hand was pressing down on Xiao Gu’s long spear.
"Is that all you can do? “There’s too much difference from what I imagined.” Long Chen looked at Xiao Gu as he frowned.
Long Chen knew that this Xiao Gu was being oppressed by his invincible will.
"Bullsh * t. I, Xiao Gu, am not someone you can underestimate!"
Xiao Gu was furious. Long Chen’s words were no different from slapping him in the face. In his fury, he forgot about his cowardice and used all his strength to push Long Chen back with his long spear.
But Long Chen held a saber in one hand and pressed down like a mountain. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t move.
Xiao Gu was furious. It was just a single move, yet he was immediately suppressed. He remembered what he had said before and roared. The veins on his face bulged and his strength increased once again.
"Boom!"
"Crack!"
With Xiao Gu’s full power exploding forth, the ground under the two of them emitted an explosive sound. After which, it began to crack and quickly spread.
“Heavens, just what kind of power is this? Even activating the formation is useless. The ground is collapsing!” The Xiao Clan’s young disciples cried out in horror. This was too powerful!
"Big brother Long Chen is too strong!"
Xiao Yu gripped her hands tightly, her eyes full of worship. Long Chen’s domineering image was deeply imprinted in her mind, and would never be erased.
The ground continued to explode as the aura became more and more terrifying. The group of disciples retreated further and further; this was an instinctive reaction when encountering danger.
However, what shocked everyone was that Long Chen still held onto his saber with one hand and didn’t move at all. He let the earth shatter and Xiao Gu struggled with all his might. He didn’t move the slightest bit, as if he was a deity that had been suppressing the world.
The current Long Chen’s cultivation was at the tenth level of the Xiantian, and Ascending Palace had also entered the third level. His strength was beyond anyone’s imagination.
“This Long Chen doesn’t even summon the Heavenly Dao Talisman, yet he possesses such terrifying power. He’s as strong as a monster!” The old chief exclaimed.
“A person like him is unable to condense Heavenly Dao talismans. Even if he does have Heavenly Dao talismans, he would be disdainful to use them. His Dao is different from everyone else’s.”
Even though I’ve cultivated the Heavenly Eye to the fourth stage, I still can’t see his path clearly. This shows that this Long Chen doesn’t take the normal route.
“A person like him is either destroyed by the Heavenly Dao or destroyed by the Heavenly Tribulation. There is no other way!” The white-eyed old man’s eyes were filled with a frightening glow. He suddenly closed his eyes and two streams of blood flowed out.
"You …" The old patriarch was shocked.
“No worries. I’m sorry, but not only can I not see his past, I can’t see his future either. In the end, I suffered a backlash. I can’t use my eyes for now.” The white-eyed old man said indifferently.
The white-eyed old man chuckled, “But it doesn’t matter. Heh heh, this is a good thing. The more mysterious this Long Chen’s background is, the closer he is to the mnemonics left behind by the ancestor. Perhaps he can solve this puzzle in the future and not open his eyes for dozens of years. In exchange for this secret, it’s worth it!”
Just as the white-eyed elder was speaking to the old chief, Xiao Gu finally went on a rampage. He couldn’t accept this humiliation.
"Divine Sea Return!"
Xiao Gu roared. Suddenly, the Qi Sea phenomenon behind him turned into a small stream and entered his body. The strange scene disappeared in an instant, and Xiao Gu’s body exploded like a volcano.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!
Long Chen’s arm shook as an unstoppable force sent him flying. Long Chen was shocked. A Sea Cleaving Realm cultivator actually had such a move?
Although Long Chen had never seen such a move before, he instantly understood that Xiao Gu’s Qi Sea had been projected behind his back when he was activating the phenomenon. It was like a clone, with his original body inside and outside.
As for the projection, it was responsible for absorbing the power from the outside world and channeling it into the Qi Sea inside the Qi Sea.
However, this phenomenon also had an extremely overbearing use, which was to bring it back into his body. When it stops in the outside world, the natural energy it absorbs will be instantly brought back into his body, allowing it to completely erupt.
This was what Xiao Gu had done. He had released an unprecedented amount of power in that instant. However, the disadvantage of this was that he had cut off the channel that he had used to replenish himself from the outside world.
Moreover, once the strange phenomenon was summoned back, Xiao Gu would no longer have the ability to release his power outside of his body in such a short time. Xiao Gu had originally planned to have a fierce battle with Long Chen and slowly show off his skills.
However, he was suppressed from the start. No matter how hard he tried, he was unable to turn the situation around. Finally, he got angry and used his last resort.
Xiao Gu’s strength surged after he recalled the phenomenon back into his body. He sent Long Chen flying with a single strike. The wings on his back fluttered and the long spear in his hand shook. A sky full of spear shadows appeared in front of him.
Countless spear shadows seemed to fill the entire space. A terrifying pressure caused the space to tremble.
"Thousand Shadow Soul Chaser!"
Xiao Gu shouted and waved the spear in his hand. The spear images that filled the sky rapidly overlapped with his spear. Every single spear image entered the spear, and the aura on the spear became stronger.
“This is troublesome. Xiao Gu actually mastered this move, and in a situation where his Divine Sea has returned, he will instantly kill Long Chen.” The old chief was surprised. He didn’t expect that Xiao Gu, with his talent as a level 1 Heaven’s Treader, would be able to master this move. It had to be said that Xiao Gu was truly a genius.
“Don’t worry, nothing will happen to him. Even I can’t see his past clearly. How could he die so easily?” The white-eyed old man closed his eyes and said indifferently.
At this moment, all of the spear shadows fused into the spear. The entire space rumbled as the sky changed color. This was an extremely powerful ancient spear art.
boom rumble rumble *
When the last spear shadow was fused together, Xiao Gu let out a furious roar. The long spear in his hand pierced through the air, bringing with it a boundless killing intent, as it stabbed towards Long Chen. The instant he attacked, everyone in the surroundings was filled with the cold killing intent of the long spear, so much so that their scalps exploded.
Looking at the terrifying spear, Long Chen’s eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He slowly raised the long blade in his hand and the spirit energy in his body instantly opened up 18 acupoints. A blade energy shot up into the sky.
"Split the Heavens Second Move!" Long Chen snorted coldly and swung his long saber.
Chapter 797 - Seven Stars Locking the Sea

The long saber was like a prison as it pointed straight at the sky. The aura of death seemed to cover the nine heavens and ten earth. The murderous aura in the surrounding air was instantly sucked out by this blade. .
The shadow of the blade fell like a river of stars. Even the sun in the sky lost its luster in front of the blade. Even the entire Xiao Clan’s experts were stunned.
Not only was this saber strike astonishingly imposing, but the most terrifying aspect of it was that it contained the will to break through the shackles of the world, the will to shatter the universe. In front of this will, everyone felt as if they were ants.
"Boom!"
With an explosive sound, the blade shadow collided with the spear shadow, and a ‘kacha’ sound rang out in the air, as if something had shattered, followed by a terrifying pressure that swept out in all directions.
The strength of Long Chen and Xiao Gu had exceeded the limits of what the barrier could bear, and had actually caused the barrier to collapse. If their auras swept across the area, the Xiantian disciples would probably die from the shock.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the two elders from the Xiao Clan attacked at the same time. Symbols flashed across the sky and formed a broken barrier. The two people were enveloped within it.
As the strong wind whistled past them, they could even hear the sound of the wind cutting through the protective barrier like sharp blades, causing their scalps to go numb.
The two people who had attacked were both Sect Master level experts. Otherwise, others wouldn’t have the ability to block such terrifying attacks without batting an eyelid.
When the smoke and dust filled the air and dispersed, the crowd looked towards the arena and saw Long Chen carrying a large saber. The divine ring on his back was surging, and he stood there like an undefeatable war god.
In front of him was a huge ditch. At the end of that ditch, Xiao Gu was lying on the ground miserably, blood spurting out from his mouth. The long spear in his hand had been broken into pieces; he was in an extremely sorry state.
For a moment, the entire audience was deathly silent. No one could have imagined that Xiao Gu, who was as powerful as himself, would be so cleanly defeated.
In total, there were two moves. The first was to suppress the other, and the second was to defeat the enemy. Everything happened too fast, and it felt like it was over before it could even begin.
Xiao Gu had already used the Divine Sea to return, which meant that he had used all of his strength without holding back at all. Yet, even in such a state, he still suffered such a crushing defeat.
“As expected, after entering the Tenth Heaven, the concentration of spirit essence had greatly increased. I can’t help but open the sky’s power and without needing to use it anymore, I’m lying on the ground like a dog!”
Long Chen sighed in his heart. Every stage of the Nine Star Tyrant Body Technique had thirteen levels. The gap between the first nine stages wasn’t big, but after entering the tenth stage, it immediately became different. It was a qualitative change.
Currently, the second move of the Split the Heavens was nearly twice as powerful as before. However, after his first move, only forty percent of Long Chen Spirit Essence was consumed.
Most importantly, Long Chen didn’t summon the Four-Star Battle Body just now. He wanted to wait for this attack to be tested before using the Four-Star Battle Body.
In truth, Long Chen had forgotten about one thing. He had drunk a dozen or so bowls of top-grade Transcending Mortality Essence in the trial cave, and his body was spotless. His combat strength had unknowingly soared by a large amount.
Xiao Gu spat out three mouthfuls of blood. His body was almost shattered from that strike, and his internal injuries were extremely severe. Fortunately, he was a Skywalker. With such severe injuries, as long as a certain amount of Essence energy was expended, he would be able to recover.
However, even though his injuries could be healed, his spirit energy couldn’t be recovered. Moreover, he had already used his Spirit Sea to return to his original position, so he shouldn’t think of summoning the Ocean Splitting Phenomenon for a while. Without a Sea Splitting Phenomenon, how would he be able to fight against Long Chen?
It could be said that Xiao Gu lost miserably this time, but he had nothing to say. He looked at Long Chen, took a deep breath, and said, "I lost!"
Long Chen nodded, "Not bad. To be able to admit defeat is neither an excuse nor a curse. It means that you are still a man."
When others heard this, Xiao Gu didn’t think much of it. However, when he heard this, his heart chilled because he had just been thinking of cursing or finding an excuse to renege on the debt, then arousing the family’s anger and borrowing the crowd’s wrath to kill Long Chen.
However, when he saw Long Chen’s calm face, which was frighteningly calm, he finally admitted defeat.
"Xiao Gu, you are too narrow-minded and cannot tolerate anything. If you become the Clan Leader and the entire Xiao Clan is tainted with your personality, then you will become someone who can overlook others and easily instigate war.
If you were a true expert, then it wouldn’t be a big deal because you could unite the surrounding powers and satisfy your selfish desires. Perhaps, Xiao Clan could be brought to unprecedented heights of glory by you.
Unfortunately, you will never be able to become a true expert, because you don’t know what a true expert needs, and why they become stronger. " Long Chen lightly said.
None of the people present spoke a word, including the Old Patriarch. Only Long Chen’s voice echoed throughout the entire arena.
When Xiao Gu heard Long Chen say that he would never become an expert, he couldn’t help but feel angry. However, when he heard Long Chen’s words, he suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Xiao Fei, come over here." Long Chen beckoned Xiao Fei over.
Seeing Long Chen wave his hand, Xiao Fei hurriedly ran to his side. At this moment, Xiao Fei’s face was filled with worship. In his eyes, Long Chen was the reincarnation of a god.
"Close your eyes." Long Chen said.
Although he didn’t know what Long Chen was up to, Xiao Fei still obediently closed his eyes. Long Chen pointed a finger between his eyebrows, causing Xiao Fei’s body to stiffen before he stopped moving.
“What?” “Long Chen, you damned bastard! You actually killed the young master!” The crowd discovered that after Long Chen pointed at Xiao Fei, Xiao Fei’s soul aura immediately disappeared. In this world, only the dead had no soul aura.
Everyone was shocked and angry at the same time. They gnashed their teeth and were about to charge forward to fight Long Chen when the old patriarch suddenly shouted, "All of you shut up and quietly watch. Xiao Fei is fine!"
When the crowd heard the old chief’s cold shout, they stopped their steps. However, when they repeatedly tried to sense it, they couldn’t sense Xiao Fei’s soul aura at all. They couldn’t help but become bewildered.
Although the old patriarch’s lifespan wasn’t much, his eyesight wasn’t something that an ordinary person could compare to. He knew that Long Chen used a special technique to seal Xiao Fei’s soul and put it in an ethereal state.
Although he didn’t know what Long Chen was going to do, he didn’t think Long Chen was that stupid. Even a fool wouldn’t do such a stupid thing to kill someone in the Xiao family’s territory, much less a wise man like Long Chen.
Long Chen’s actions scared Xiao Yu and Sister Ling. However, based on their understanding of him, they didn’t believe that he would harm Xiao Fei.
Currently, Xiao Fei stood there motionlessly as Long Chen swept his gaze over everyone in the Xiao Clan. Finally, he said to the elders of the Xiao Clan,
"Xiao Fei cannot awaken the energy within his body, so it is not his fault. Rather, it is your fault, because you are all mediocre teachers that have misled a bunch of people."
The expression of the Xiao family’s elder darkened. This Long Chen was too arrogant. He didn’t give the slightest face by slapping him in the face.
“Don’t have a gloomy face. I, Long Chen, rarely say anything wrong because I don’t like to slap myself in the face.”
Long Chen turned around and said to Xiao Gu, “You might not be convinced by what I’ve said. What I’m going to do next, all of you take good care of it. What is the quality that one must have in order to become a strong person?”
After speaking, Long Chen extended his finger and pointed at Xiao Fei’s Dantian seven times. The old chief could not help but be startled.
"Seven Star Sealed Sea, what is he doing?"
“He wants to help activate the energy in Xiao Fei’s body.” The white-eyed old man closed his eyes and said indifferently.
“But, if we want to activate it, we have to first activate our Dantian. Why did he lock onto Xiao Fei’s Dantian?” The old patriarch asked in confusion.
“No one knows, but Long Chen definitely wants to activate the energy in Xiao Fei’s Dantian. As for what method he’s using, no one knows. This Long Chen is very strange.”
"Although he is the same as an young man, his intelligence is as vast as the sea, and his realm is frighteningly high. From the inside to the outside, he has almost no flaws, and he is simply a monster. After living for so many years, I have never seen a young man like him." The white-eyed elder sighed.
The most powerful aspect of the Heavenly Eyed Race was their ability to predict the future of the future. Sometimes, they would choose disciples with great prospects for their clans. It was as if they never made any mistakes in their judgement.
The white-eyed old man had an extraordinary status. He had seen countless people in his life, but he had never seen such a terrifying young man on Long Chen’s body before.
"Although you seem a little arrogant, I still have to advise you all. Take a good look. This will be of great use to you all throughout your lives!"
After Long Chen finished speaking, he pointed a finger at Xiao Fei’s forehead. Xiao Fei’s soul, which had originally been in a death-like state, began to slowly circulate.
“Thousands of black clouds, torrential rain, tens of thousands of invaders holding sharp blades stained in blood charged into the Xiao family …” Long Chen’s deep voice echoed in everyone’s ears.
Everyone’s hearts trembled. Following Long Chen’s words, they were immediately brought into a scene. The entire Xiao Clan was covered in dark clouds and was raining heavily. They could even feel the bone-piercing coldness.
As Long Chen continued his narration, they even saw countless savage-looking invaders charging towards them, wielding weapons in their hands.
The people couldn’t help but be shocked. They quickly raised their heads and discovered that the sun was still high in the sky. There were no clouds in the sky; there was simply nothing out of the ordinary.
“What a dense soul force!” One of the Xiao Clan’s Sect Master Elders couldn’t help but be moved. Even his soul force wasn’t so strong and vigorous.
At the same time, they also understood that Long Chen was using a hypnosis technique on Xiao Fei. It was just that Long Chen’s soul force was too strong, covering everyone.
"The enemies are vicious and powerful! Their ruthless slaughter is something we cannot fight back against! We can only watch on as the surrounding Tribe members fell one by one …."
Following Long Chen’s low voice, Xiao Fei’s body began to tremble violently, his face full of anger and fear.
"The elders have all fallen, the old patriarch has been killed, Sister Ling has died fighting to protect us all. Xiao Yu blocked a blade for you, and her blood dyed your clothes red. Her eyes were filled with love …"
"No …." Xiao Fei closed his eyes and let out a cry that sounded like he was alive. His teeth were bleeding from biting down on his teeth.
The old chief and the white-eyed elder finally nodded their heads. They understood what kind of method Long Chen was going to use to activate the energy in Xiao Fei’s dantian.
Chapter 798 Remuneration

“No …” “I’m going to kill you! You beasts!” Xiao Fei roared loudly. The veins on his forehead bulged and his face contorted. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth. .
It was because he was clenching his teeth too hard, causing his gums to crack and blood to flow out non-stop. However, Xiao Fei acted as if he did not feel it as his entire body was trembling, but his limbs were stiff, as if he had fallen into a nightmare.
"Kill? How could you will kill them? The enemy is so strong that even the elders are unable to resist, how can a mere first stage Skywalker like you defend against it?
The current you, in front of your enemies, is just like an ant, unable to resist at all. The intruders killed everyone, and their blood dyed the ground red.
Currently, the only people left in the Xiao family are you and Aunt Qing. Aunt Qing is also severely injured and has fallen to the ground. She looks at you with worry … " Long Chen’s deep voice filled the entire arena.
Although everyone knew that Long Chen was using a hypnosis technique on Xiao Fei, because of Long Chen’s powerful soul force, everyone was still infected by his voice. The miserable state of the Xiao family’s impending doom appeared in their minds.
The flames of anger in the eyes of each and every Xiao Clan Warrior continued to soar. Some of their disciples even activated the Path of Heaven and the Cry on their own.
Because of Long Chen’s strong infectivity, some of the younger disciples would have gone berserk on the spot if not for the suppression from other experts. They had never experienced such an experience. Staring with their eyes wide open, they were also hypnotized.
It could be imagined that Xiao Fei, who was being targeted by Long Chen, was in an extremely realistic illusion. With Long Chen’s voice, the images he drew and added in his own feelings were infinitely close to reality.
“Don’t come over here…”
Xiao Fei suddenly roared as he opened his arms. One could imagine that Xiao Fei was trying to protect Aunt Qing, who was behind him.
“You tried your best to resist, but it was useless because you were too weak. You couldn’t defend against the enemy, so you could only watch as they knocked you down. The evil intruder was ferociously approaching Aunt Qing …” When Long Chen saw Xiao Fei open his arms, his eyes brightened and his voice became even deeper.
“No, even if I die, I won’t allow you to hurt Aunt Qing …” Xiao Fei roared crazily as he waved his hands. From the looks of it, he was trying to stop the enemy.
“Do you want to become stronger?” Long Chen’s voice suddenly changed to a different tone. It was sacred and filled with an unquestionable aura.
"I want to become stronger, I want to become stronger, I want to kill them …" Xiao Fei waved his arms, frantically trying to block.
“There’s a treasury in your dantian. Open it and you can immediately become stronger and kill the strong enemy in front of you to protect your Aunt Qing!” Long Chen said.
“I can’t open it. I’ve worked hard for ten years, but I still can’t open it. What should I do?” Xiao Fei roared anxiously, his voice filled with panic and pain.
Long Chen sighed and turned to look at the old patriarch and the elders. These people felt their faces burn as they were swept by Long Chen’s gaze.
They had been forcing Xiao Fei for the past ten years, and the result was that Xiao Fei actually had an inner demon in his heart. He had already given up all hope on opening his dantian, and had added a soul shackle to it.
This caused the few elders to blush and feel extremely regretful. Otherwise, if they followed Long Chen’s guidance, it was extremely likely that Xiao Fei would suddenly open up the energy in his dantian.
They hated themselves for keeping to the rules and not knowing how to change their ways. If they were to be guided by their soul force like Long Chen, Xiao Fei would have awakened long ago.
Now that they saw Xiao Fei fail at this point, they really wanted to find a place to hide. Long Chen was right when he mocked them earlier. They were just a bunch of mediocre teachers who misled their disciples.
Long Chen hadn’t thought that Xiao Fei would have an inner demon at such a young age. This was quite a troublesome problem. However, things had already come this far and he absolutely couldn’t give up.
“Just because you can’t open it in the past doesn’t mean that you can’t open it now. Hurry up, you’re holding Aunt Qing’s life in your hands…” A hint of urgency appeared in Long Chen’s voice. He wanted to test if Xiao Fei could explode from the pressure.
“I want Aunt Qing, I want to save Aunt Qing …” Xiao Fei roared furiously as his face was filled with anxiety. He tried his best to move his Dantian, but failed several times. At this moment, Xiao Fei’s aura had already started to become chaotic.
“Long Chen, if this continues, Xiao Fei’s cultivation will go berserk,” an elder reminded him.
"Shut up!"
Long Chen coldly snorted. If it wasn’t for the inner demons that you had imposed on Xiao Fei, would this brother have needed to waste so much effort? He had just boasted. If he didn’t succeed, where would he put his face? Finding an excuse wasn’t Long Chen’s style.
“Xiao Fei, it’s Long Chen!” Long Chen took in a deep breath. His previous hypnosis tone was now completely different from before, and he was now using his own voice.
“Brother Long, quickly save me!” Hearing Long Chen’s voice, Xiao Fei couldn’t help but rejoice. The tyrannical aura from before gradually calmed down and returned from the brink of going berserk.
“I can’t help you. The only thing I can help you with is yourself.” Long Chen said.
"But …"
"But do you believe me?" Long Chen said.
"I believe you!"
"Very well, listen to me carefully. There is a very powerful energy in your dantian. Right now, it is being shackled and unable to be opened."
Now that the strong enemy is looking around, you must open it in order to protect your Aunt Qing. The way you opened it was wrong before, but I’ll teach you the correct way now.
With your soul force, reaching into your dantian will be the same as the steps you usually take to open it. But the last step, do the reverse.
Concentrate your mind and calm your mind. Concentrate all of your energy and continuously condense it … Condensation …. To condense until all of your power is channeled into your hands. " Long Chen said.
The elders could not help but be stunned. Was their method really wrong? Could it be that the final step was the key?
"Big brother Long Chen, I did it!" Xiao Fei said.
"Very good. Xiao Fei, you have only condensed one hundred percent of your power. However, you will need one hundred and twenty percent of your strength to open it." Long Chen said.
120%? How is this possible? Everyone was taken aback.
“If you don’t know where the power is coming from, then turn around and look at Aunt Qing behind you. She’s looking at you with eyes full of worry and encouragement. She’s not worried about her own life, but your safety.”
Do you have the heart to let her die in the hands of your enemies? Make yourself angry, make yourself violent, you are a man, show your dominance.
In this world, the strongest power is not your personal power, but the power that you protect in your heart. For the love of your loved ones, show your fangs, and let out your roars.
Let the mountains and ravines crawl under your feet, and let the souls of all the enemies of heaven scatter. In order to protect our hearts, we have no fear, what are we waiting for? Use all of your strength and open the seal! "
Long Chen’s voice grew louder and louder, causing heaven and earth to rumble. It was like the roar of a god. Everyone present was influenced by Long Chen’s aura, and their blood boiled as their fighting spirit skyrocketed.
"Seal — — Open!"
What shocked everyone was that Xiao Fei suddenly opened his eyes. However, within his eyes, a blood-red color could be seen. It was like the eyes of a demonic god, an angry roar that shook the heavens.
"This… Is this the revival of my ancestor’s bloodline? " The old chief suddenly stood up, his body trembling with excitement.
"Boom!"
With an explosive sound, the rune treasure behind Xiao Fei overflowed into the sky like a dam being broken. A terrifying pressure swept through the sky.
"Plop, plop, plop …"
Aside from the old chief, everyone from the Xiao Clan knelt on the ground with excited expressions on their faces.
At first, Long Chen thought that everyone was grateful to him. But later on, he discovered that this was a bloodline inheritance. They were affected and couldn’t help but kneel down.
Behind Xiao Fei’s back, a three-colored rune formed a huge rune. However, that rune was a little blurry, so it was hard to tell what it was.
"The clan map is actually the clan map …" At this moment, the old chief was so excited that tears were flowing down his face and his body was trembling.
“You’re too agitated. This will consume a large amount of your life force.” The white-eyed old man advised.
“Hehe, Xiao Fei has awakened a Tier 3 Skywalker and condensed the family map that has disappeared countless years ago. Even if I die immediately, I’ll be satisfied!” The old patriarch said excitedly. He was unable to suppress the excitement in his heart.
You can sleep now. When you wake up, everything will be the same as in a dream. After you wake up, everything will be normal. You will find your clansmen, your friends, and your Aunt Xiao by your side. Long Chen softly said.
Xiao Fei, who was filled with rage and his eyes were bloodshot, slowly closed his eyes and fell to the ground. At this moment, Sister Ling suddenly extended her jade-like hands and hugged Xiao Fei.
“Lord Long Chen, you’re the great benefactor of our Xiao family. Please accept our bow.” After saying this, Sister Ling actually kneeled down and bowed to Long Chen with a face full of gratitude.
Not only Xiao Ling, but even the old chief had knelt down. Long Chen hastily moved to the old chief’s side and held him back.
“Old chief, you’re taking my life!” Long Chen complained. Actually, he hated etiquette the most. Other than Heaven and Earth parents, how could he kneel to others?
The old chief seemed to have seen through Long Chen’s thoughts as he smiled and said, "The parents of heaven and earth gave birth to us. Our gratitude is deep like the sea as we kneel in gratitude.
Long Chen, you really don’t know how great a favor you have done for the Xiao family today.
“About that, you should just let them get up. I, Long Chen, am only kneeling to my parents. The heavens and earth …” Hehe, let’s not talk about this anymore. Xiao Fei had nothing else to do.
I heard that you guys have a detailed map of the Eternal Road and a treasure trove map. Hehe, to be honest, I really need it. " Long Chen chuckled.
He realized that his mental fortitude was getting better and better, and that his skin was getting thicker. He didn’t feel the slightest bit embarrassed to directly start asking for benefits.
“Hahaha, how can a small map express our Xiao clan’s gratitude? Long Chen, you have to stay here for a few days. We’ll repay you well!” The old patriarch laughed as he pulled Long Chen along.

With this, Long Chen was left behind. The Xiao family’s gratitude towards Long Chen could no longer be described with words. .
Even Xiao Gu respectfully ran over to Long Chen to apologize. Long Chen faintly smiled. Xiao Gu was narrow-minded and couldn’t tolerate anything, but if someone suppressed him, he wouldn’t be able to do much.
Moreover, he was a member of the Xiao Clan and had a sense of honor in the clan. Perhaps in the future, he would become a capable subordinate of Xiao Fei.
Following that, the entire Xiao Clan entered into a carnival. What made Long Chen curious was that the Xiao Clan suddenly had many women and children.
Xiao Yu told Long Chen that every time the Ancient Road opened, they would move some of their people away, leaving the stronger ones behind. Now that Xiao Fei had awakened his level 3 Skywalker, they were summoned back to celebrate together.
The next day, Xiao Fei woke up full of energy. His face was radiant and he no longer looked weak like before. His eyes were sharp and his body had a trace of a domineering aura.
The person who came out with Xiao Fei was a thirty-something year old girl. She was the Aunt Qing that Xiao Fei had spoken of as his mother.
At this moment, she had consumed the Seven Star Mana Bead Sa Hua Lu and was temporarily suppressing the pain of her soul being torn apart. When she woke up from her coma, she came with Xiao Fei to thank Long Chen.
“Auntie Qing, you’re being too courteous. This is all Xiao Fei’s work, so don’t blame him. He’s already a man, so he’s responsible for his own actions.” Long Chen smiled.
“Yes, Aunt Qing. Big Brother Long Chen said that I’m a man now, so don’t scold me!” Xiao Fei added.
It turned out that Aunt Qing knew that Xiao Fei had risked his life to collect the Seven Star Mana Pearl Sand Flower Dew in order to suppress the pain of her soul being torn apart.
This was because the Manzhan Chaosha Flower Dew could only last for three days once it fell from the stamen, so it had to be fresh. As a result, the entire family didn’t have any stock, which was why Xiao Fei was taking such a risk.
When Aunt Qing found out, she was both moved and angry. She first scolded Xiao Fei ruthlessly, but then felt a sense of filial piety towards him. This matter could be considered to have passed.
"Aunt Qing, you have failed in casting the platform, but the foundation is still there. I will refine a batch of pills for you later so that you can be sent directly to the stage." Long Chen said.
"Really? You know how to concoct pills?" Aunt Qing was surprised.
"I know a little." Long Chen chuckled.
“That’s great! Our Xiao Clan has gained yet another Sect Master expert!” Xiao Fei excitedly exclaimed.
"However, Aunt Qing, you have borrowed the strength of the medicine to forge the platform. Even though your cultivation has advanced, your strength is still inferior to a normal Forging Stage expert.
“Moreover, the Forging Stage is different from other realms. With a flaw, I’m afraid that you will never be able to break through to the King’s Realm!” Long Chen said.
“You don’t have to worry about that. On the road to ancient times, there have always been some rules. The people here are unable to break through to the King level.” Aunt Qing said with a faint smile.
Long Chen couldn’t help but be shocked. Why was the Ancient Road so strange? It was clearly a world of its own, but why was there such a strange law? It even restricted the development of others.
"Lord Long Chen, the old patriarch calls you!" A Xiao Clan disciple said respectfully.
Long Chen was now a VIP of the Xiao family. Even the elders had to bow when they saw him and call him Lord. Long Chen still wasn’t used to this.
Following that disciple, they arrived at the old Patriarch’s residence. The hall was very simple. The old Patriarch and the white-eyed old man sat on a huge blanket.
“Take a seat. There’s no need to be polite.” The old chief smiled.
“Hehe, I have an advantage. I’m never one to be polite with others.” Long Chen smiled and sat down cross-legged as he spoke.
“This old man’s eyes are ill. By closing them, I am not looking down on you …” The white-eyed old man closed his eyes and explained with a smile.
“You’re too polite. Your eyes are closed, making you seem even more amiable.” Long Chen humbly said, but then he regretted it and became foolish again.
The white-eyed old man smiled bitterly. “You’re scolding me in a roundabout way. With your eyes open, you look so ferocious!”
Long Chen was about to explain, when the old patriarch said, “Don’t be nervous. We don’t treat you as an outsider. We just want to talk to you. We want to know about the situation outside. Which world do you come from?”
Long Chen was stunned, "Which realm? “I really don’t know!”
"Then tell me, what is the name of your continent?" The old chief said.
"I heard that his name is Tianwu Continent." Long Chen said with uncertainty.
"The Tianwu Continent must have been affected by the battle as well. Right now, it has probably been torn into pieces," the Old Patriarch said.
“I’m not too sure about that. I heard that the Sky Martial Continent was originally divided into five regions.” Long Chen said honestly. He couldn’t speak carelessly about things he didn’t understand, because Long Chen hadn’t come into contact with anything of that level.
"Before the ancient path was destroyed, there were a few famous figures that appeared in the Sky Martial Continent.
They were brilliant and gorgeous, and their battle prowess was that of the same generation. They left behind an extremely glorious record on the road that they traveled on. You would have had the opportunity to see a stone tablet with their names engraved on it after walking along the road for a long time.
Those were the Eternal Emblem. Only the most powerful experts of the current era had the right to inscribe their own names on it.
Unfortunately, the ancient path has collapsed, and you all will not be able to reach the stone monument. You can only see its projection from afar. " The old chief sighed.
“Old Patriarch, can you talk to me about the Eternal Road?” “I’m really curious.” Long Chen said.
"Of course not. The reason I called you over was to talk to you about the Eternal Road, but the story is a bit long …" The old chief laughed.
The secret that the old Patriarch revealed next startled Long Chen. He didn’t think that the Eternal Road would have such an astonishing origin.
The Ancient Path was originally a world of its own, but during the Immortal Ancient, a peerless powerhouse had transformed it into a training field. The eight surrounding worlds were all connected, and the Sky Martial Continent that Long Chen resided in was only one of them.
This caused Long Chen to be astonished. Eight powerhouses from the Martial Saint Continent had rushed to the Eternal Road at the same time. Just how shocking of a scene was that?
However, according to the Old Patriarch, the Immortal Ancient Era was an extremely glorious era. It was said that the Eternal Road was created by a True God, and contained within it was the opportunity to reach the Immortal Ascension.
However, following an earth-shattering battle, the road to ancient times was directly destroyed. Because the era was too long, the detailed information about that great battle was not passed down. It was said that it was a battle between gods and devils.
The old chief had said that their Xiao Clan was nothing more than soldiers guarding the Eternal Road. They were responsible for watching over the trial grounds of the Eternal Road and maintaining order within it.
However, everything changed after the Great War of Gods and Demons. Their communication with the outside world was cut off, and what made them most despairing was that the lives of those at the King’s Realm and above were quickly taken away. They died within a few years.
This made them extremely terrified. The most frightening thing was that when the Eternal Road opened up once again, they discovered that they were actually cursed, and their fighting strength was reduced by over half.
As for the challengers, when they saw him, they began to interrogate him about the secrets of the various smelting trial sites. At the same time, they also forced him to hand over the spirit essence stones that were only produced in the Eternal Road.
That spirit essence stone was different from the spirit stones in the outside world. It contained the most primitive energy that existed when the world was born, and that was the aura of primal chaos. It was also known as the power of the primordial spirit.
To the outside world, this was a precious treasure. The spiritual energy in the Spirit Stones could not only speed up cultivation, they could also gain enlightenment of the Essence of Heaven and Earth.
Long Chen had been cultivating for a long time, but he had never heard of spirit essence stones. This meant that either Long Chen was extremely precious and hard to come by in the Sky Martial Continent, or the Sky Martial Continent no longer produced this kind of spirit stones.
Long Chen listened as the old chief continued his narration. Indeed, as Long Chen had guessed, the outside world had also been affected by the earth-shattering battle. The core of the world had been damaged and no more spirit essence stones could be accumulated.
It turned out that the so-called core of the world was the part that formed at the very first moment the world was born. It was like a baby’s embryo, the most primitive form of energy.
Once the core of the world was damaged, then the world would use all of its power to repair the core. The spiritual energy of the outside world would become thin, and the elemental energy would be absorbed to the point where not a single drop would remain.
Hearing this, Long Chen was shocked. No wonder all the aboriginals on the road were able to awaken Skywalker. So it was all because of this source spirit.
Legend has it that in the Immortal Ancient Era, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth was extremely dense. Any cultivator with even the slightest bit of talent could be promoted to their nature. According to the Old Patriarch, this wasn’t a legend, but true.
Long Chen was very curious. What kind of battle was it? What kind of battle could destroy the world and damage the core of the world? If the core of the world was destroyed, the entire world could be destroyed.
However, the old chief had very vague thoughts regarding that great battle because the era was too long and many things could not be explained. If they did not know about it, they would not have added in their own guesses. That was because, as time passed, they would be able to completely distance themselves from the truth.
This was because in history, there were always some people who believed that their wits were unrivalled, making wild guesses about the mysteries. In order to make themselves famous and spread the news, there was no way for anyone to know the true answer.
The real history was drowned by these flamers just like that, but they were all very powerful, holding the title of experts, and their words were resplendent, as if they had seen it with their own eyes.
Long Chen had seen quite a few of these civil servants in the Phoenix City. In order to add a bit of light to himself, they would often make shocking remarks and attract the attention of others, making others snort disdainfully at them.
The chief’s words were very accurate, allowing Long Chen to understand the rough origin of the Eternal Road. As for the more vague parts, Long Chen had to personally verify them.
"Later on, why did the aboriginals become mortal enemies with the trial-takers?" Long Chen asked. He was more concerned about this topic.

Mentioning this issue, the elder sighed, "War often results from benefits. In order to maximize benefits, people are willing to do anything they want."
It turned out that after the collapse of the Eternal Road, the entire place had undergone a drastic change. The people who were originally guarding the Eternal Road had suddenly turned into abandoned children. .
Even though they had been guarding this place ever since it was formed, taking root here to reproduce and take charge of everything here, their inheritances were not old and could only be described as ordinary.
However, after the ancient road had been destroyed, they had lost all of their strength to rely on. Since no one managed them, these aboriginals all began to panic.
Like this, hundreds of years of chaos passed. These aboriginals finally accepted the fact that they had been sealed away in the Road of Eternity, and had lost contact with the outside world.
However, just as they gradually adapted to their new life, the trial-takers in the outside world suddenly appeared again. This made the aboriginals extremely happy, and they thought that they could finally contact the outside world.
However, what they didn’t expect was that the trial takers would actually brandish their butcher knives at them, madly slaughtering them and robbing them of their spirit essence stones.
Because at that time, the world had already changed. On the road to ancient times, they had been inexplicably suppressed. As a result, the invading trial takers had been slaughtered miserably. Some of the guards had even been completely exterminated.
At that time, the aboriginals were greatly shocked. At the same time, they were abnormally angry and tried to counterattack. They did not understand why these trial-takers wanted to kill them.
They had shouted at them, but only cold blood-stained weapons answered them, and in that one incident the aboriginals had suffered heavy casualties.
However, this was only the beginning. That battle lasted for a year, and several years later, another batch of trial takers entered. They came from different continents, but they all carried the same killing intent.
Finally, the aboriginals were angered and began to fiercely retaliate. In the end, both sides suffered casualties and this situation continued.
Sometimes in a few years, sometimes in a few decades, there would be a large number of people entering. At this time, they no longer called these people challengers, but intruders.
Without knowing when, the aboriginals discovered that there was a type of ore on the road that could isolate the power of curses, so they collected these ores and built the altar. When the road opened, they activated the altar, and the entire tribe hid within the domain.
After the road was closed, they would withdraw their defensive powers and move freely. This was also the reason why Xiao Gu and the others were suppressed from the outside and were able to recover just like that. This was all due to the altar.
“Haven’t you tried to communicate with them in all these years?” Long Chen frowned. This matter was a bit strange, and no one could figure it out. Why did everyone want to kill the aboriginals? Could it be because of the spirit essence stones in their possession? Or was there some other purpose?
"Yes, it’s a pity. Every time, we would be very disappointed. However, there was one time when it was even more dangerous. An intruder managed to gain our trust.
In the end, he colluded with many people and destroyed the altars of some clans. In the end … “Ai, it’s fine if you don’t want to say it.” The chief sighed, clearly harboring a grudge against this matter. Even though his lifespan was almost up, he still couldn’t accept it.
"No wonder the natives hate intruders so much. Both sides are like fire and water, yet there are so many twists and turns.
“It’s just that it’s very strange. From the time I heard of the Eternal Road to the time we entered it, the elders didn’t talk about their grudges with you. They only told us to be careful of the aboriginals and that you were the most terrifying enemies on the road.” Long Chen said.
"That’s because the intruder would never care about the victim’s history, and it’s been too long. Even your elders might not know what happened.
However, one thing is certain, every once in a while, when the Eternal Road opens, a group of people in red battle robes will set up a trap to kill us aboriginals.
They are cruel and vicious, and they even have special magical equipment that destroys our altar. They are the existences that we hate the most. " The old chief said.
Red battle robe? Isn’t that an evil expert? Could it be that this group of evildoers knew something? Long Chen was shocked.
Long Chen could even faintly smell the scent of a conspiracy. Everything had happened so suddenly and it was illogical. There was no logic to it at all.
However, things had happened too long ago, and there were many things that could no longer be verified. To unravel this mystery was truly too difficult.
The old chief continued with his narration. Later on, after they invented this altar, they began to build teleportation formations and secret lairs with the various aboriginals.
The large number of women and children that had appeared today had all come back from the secret lair. If the Xiao clan were to be annihilated and the women and children were still alive, then the bloodline would be able to continue existing.
Once the secret lair and teleportation formation were established, they would be able to stand guard and help out. Once an enemy invaded, they could immediately go to provide assistance.
Xiao Fei’s father, also known as the previous clan leader, had fallen in battle with an invader.
At that time, Xiao Fei’s father was already a Forging Stage expert. However, the altar on the battlefield had been destroyed and his cultivation suppressed. He had fought against several invaders and died in battle.
Long Chen secretly nodded his head. Although he had suppressed most of his combat power to kill a Sect Master Level 3 Skywalker, only powerhouses like Xue You, Yu Changhao, and Huang Junmo would be able to do so.
Xiao Fei’s father was able to fight against several experts of this level and was indeed incomparably powerful. He was known as the Xiao Clan’s number one expert and was not without basis.
Moreover, from what the old chief said, the rules of the Heavenly Dao here were extremely strange. The stronger one was, the more terrifying the suppression would be without the protection of the altar.
No wonder so many aboriginals chose to avoid trial takers like them. To them, the suppression of the Heavenly Dao was suicidal.
"As the war goes on, more and more people died, and the hatred between the two sides grew deeper and deeper. Therefore, the invaders treated us as prey, and we treated them as prey as well." The old patriarch continued.
Because the aboriginals, in order to become stronger, also began to explore some of the trial caves within the Eternal Road. Because there were generous rewards inside, they knew the Eternal Road better than others.
Unfortunately, none of their disciples were strong enough. Although all of their disciples were Skywalkers, they were all first-grade Skywalker. Many of the more powerful trial grounds would send someone to their death, and those with cultivations above the Xiantian would only be able to trigger the destruction of their laws if they entered the trial.
However, there were too few Tier 2 Skywalker. People like Xiao Fei, who had the aptitude to become a Tier 3 Skywalker, were as rare as phoenix feathers or qilin horns. Therefore, they were hoping that Xiao Fei would awaken.
Therefore, when the Ancient Road closed, they would send their disciples to the trial grounds to look for opportunities while the other side would look for spirit stone mines to mine spirit stones.
“This map of Long Chen’s shows the locations of the trials. Moreover, the difficulty level and content of the trials are all marked. However, no one knows about the rewards inside, so it still depends on your luck.” The old chief handed Long Chen a map.
Long Chen took it and took a look. He couldn’t help but be overjoyed. The markings on the map were very detailed. What surprised Long Chen the most was that this map was actually a complete map. He could clearly see the entire road.
“Eh? This ancient path isn’t the same?” Long Chen was stunned. This ancient path was not a straight path, but a cross shaped “X”.
“That’s right. The Ancient Road is a cross. In the center is the most powerful trial by fire, and also a place to prove themselves. Legend has it that there is a secret to becoming a Deity.”
"However, it has already collapsed. The entire Ancient Road is divided into five parts, and the inheritance in the middle is also split into four parts, with one small part in the middle. The small part in the middle is the most important part, but unfortunately, there is divine power to block it, so no one can pass through it." The old chief said.
"No one?" Long Chen asked.
“There’s a mysterious law inside that crack. Anyone who encounters that law will break into pieces.” The old chief shook his head.
How unreconciled! He was actually unable to enter the secret location. This was simply too darned. When the time came, he had to think of a way to test it.
“Long Chen, these are the Xiao Clan’s little intentions.” With that, the old patriarch handed Long Chen an interspatial ring.
Long Chen opened it to take a look and could not help but be shocked, "This is the legendary spirit essence stone?"
Inside the interspatial ring, fist-sized Spirit Stones were emitting a dazzling radiance. The Spirit Stones were actually not transparent crystals, but instead had a dark yellow aura flowing within them. The aura of primal chaos was circulating unceasingly, and Long Chen could feel that they contained the purest energy between heaven and earth.
“Here are a hundred thousand spirit essence stones. This is nine tenths of our Xiao Clan’s reserves. Long Chen, you definitely can’t turn your back on this.” The old patriarch said.
“Old patriarch, this is too much. I really can’t accept it.” Long Chen hadn’t thought that the old patriarch would suddenly take out so many spirit essence stones. No matter how thick-skinned he was, he couldn’t take away almost all their wealth.
"Long Chen, you must take this. First, the experts here can only use spirit essence stones when they reach the Forging Stage.
“Our Xiao Clan only has three Forging Stage powerhouses left. The remaining spirit essence stones are enough to support us for many years. Furthermore, once the Eternal Road closes, we can once again look for ore to mine. Don’t worry,” the old patriarch said as he patted Long Chen’s shoulder.
Long Chen was moved. Although he had helped Xiao Fei awaken, and thought that the Xiao family would definitely repay him, he didn’t expect that the Xiao family would be so generous as to actually repay him.
“Furthermore, Xiao Fei has awakened a Tier 3 Skywalker. His bloodline has been rejuvenated, and a sign of returning to its ancestral state has appeared. If you’re unwilling, our entire Xiao Clan really doesn’t know how to repay you,” the old patriarch said.
“Since that’s the case, then Long Chen will be brazen enough to serve under my command. However, Long Chen also has some gifts to return. I hope that the old chief will not decline this invitation.”
With that, Long Chen took out a spatial ring and handed it to the old patriarch. The old patriarch opened the spatial ring, and it was his turn to be shocked.
