Chapter 58 – Challenging an Alliance



Gu Luo had a malicious gaze, he looked at Xiao Chen with bitter resentment, and said, “Since you already agreed to fight, we will face each other in a life and death battle when the time comes!”

It is meaningless to say more than this, Xiao Chen only nodded his head. After that, he seemed to have thought of something, and said, “I am facing ten people individually, it is impossible for me to have a direct confrontation with all of you. If we make the entire Dragon Island into the war zone, the battlefront seems a little too big. How about this, let us compromise a little, and choose a sealed up valley to start the war. What do you think?” However, only god knows if he really don’t have to guts to face them head on.

Gu Luo was originally planning to fight Xiao Chen head on, but after hearing his opinion, it seems like he wants to use the hit-and-run tactics. This make him feel very inappropriate, but after hearing that kind of compromise, he immediately consented. In a sealed up valley, he is but an easy target for The Avenger.

Xiao Chen turned around to face the audiences, and exclaimed, “We will select a sealed up valley to do battle, the kind that is not too big nor too small……” He quickly expressed his opinion to the audiences.

The mountain range moved up and down within the Dragon Island, there is no shortage of valley. They quickly found a suitable location, the horizontal and vertical length within the valley is about three to four miles. Dense jungle covered the entire valley, it is full of vitality, it is a pretty good place to conduct a life and death battle here.

Many alliances chose this valley because the trees are not very crowded, they do not want to miss an interesting battle due to the exuberant forest trees. Standing on top of the valley, they can see everything that is happening inside. However, this is a little bit unfair to Xiao Chen who did not want to fight recklessly. After all, the cover provided by a reasonable terrain is more important for a single person.

The battle is finally beginning, Xiao Chen’s performance caused everyone to drop their jaws. He didn’t adopt the guerrilla warfare tactics, he actually dashed towards Gu Luo and the rest as soon as it began.

At present, Xiao Chen’s body is enveloped by a bright divine radiance that looked just like a raging flame. His entire person is filled with an outrageous battle intent. The murderous aura pervaded the entire forest, the tree leaves were ravaged by an invisible murderous aura and withered one after another. The green leaves fell gently as far as the eyes can see!

A powerful intimidating aura! The scene that shatters the will of the people!

Both sides clashed with one another, when they were still a few meter away, Xiao Chen violently brandished both hands like a blade. Two incomparably sharp point slashed through the air like the resplendent rainbow light. In that instant, it swept past the neck of one member from The Avenger. The head rose high up into the sky, it flew ten meter away from the body, surge of blood spurted up to three meter high.

Absolutely shocking!

As soon as Xiao Chen approached them, he killed one of the experts among their group right away. He is like a undefeatable ⌈1⌋ Demon Lord, his long black hair swayed with the wind, and danced about hysterically.

Gu Luo, Psychic Li Ling Feng, and Spell Master Carter, launched their attacks continuously. An endless stream of berserking energy filled with killing intent were executed one after another. Their target is undoubtedly Xiao Chen. He left an afterimage in his original position, and disappeared in an instant. After that, he ambushed them with a dazzling radiance from the other side, a wide expanse of forest trees were destroyed in an instant, the terrifying radiance had submerged that area!

The Fifth Celestial Layer of Exuvia! This is an overwhelming dominance, it makes Xiao Chen as terrifying as a war-god!

Two experts in the frontmost position of Gu Luo’s party throw up blood, and retreat in defeat. Just when one of them moved five steps backward, his entire body suddenly split up into pieces, he actually collapsed in that instant! As for the other person, he also met the same fate after retreating for seven steps. Their eyes were brimming with a frightened look even after their death!

Everything happened too quickly, the battle has only just began, and Gu Luo’s party already lost three people. This is a terrifying result, one person picking a fight with an alliance, and he is actually capable of dominating everyone!

A commotion break out on top of the valley, everyone was very shocked, Xiao Chen is practically a killing machine, he possessed an overwhelming strength!

Within the valley, Xiao Chen restrained his own power, and very naturally exhibit power up to the Fourth Celestial Layer. Almost no one discovered this kind of power shift, since Xiao Chen had only been using power up to the Fourth Celestial Layer of Exuvia all along.

“Everyone gather together, don’t separate!” Gu Luo shouted loudly. At this moment, he felt cold sweat rolling down from his spine. Xiao Chen is too terrifying, picking a valley to do battle was part of his plot!

Who says Xiao Chen is afraid to face them head on, the reason he chose to fight in a valley is because he is afraid that Gu Luo and the rest will run away due to fear after he exposed his true strength. At the moment, the audiences on top of the valley guessed the reason why Xiao Chen chose to fight here.

This is indeed the case in reality, Xiao Chen possessed the strength of Fifth Celestial Layer, he is not afraid of this alliance at all! However, he only revealed the strength of Fourth Celestial Layer at this time, he wanted to keep this a secret, so that he can give his opponent a “pleasant surprise” when the time is right.

Gu Luo propped himself with the double-edged sword, the sword aura fluctuated indefinitely. He didn’t have any scrolls left, he could only rely on his base power to fight. Psychic Li Ling Feng floated in the sky, a green radiance rushed forth from his entire body, raising his Spiritual Power to the limit. Spell Master Carter was also in midair, chanting an incantation unceasingly, a ferocious magic attack is about to descend.

And just at this time, Xiao Chen disappeared immediately, he is changing his position in the woods unceasingly, and began to slaughter everyone apart from these three experts. He decided to dispose of the weaker practitioners first, and then go all-out to defeat Carter and Li Ling Feng that are capable of flying.

Gu Luo, Carter, and Li Ling Feng, began their all-out assault. They didn’t want to let Xiao Chen exterminate them one by one. Carter finished his incantation, one after another terrifying lightning hacked downwards in a frenzy, chasing after Xiao Chen. At the same time, one after another energy blade fell like a meteor shower.

Xiao Chen kept changing his position, leaving one after another afterimages on the ground. He dodged endless stream of magic attack, and went after the few remaining practitioners.

Psychic possessed innate Spiritual Power, after fostering that Spiritual Power for innumerable days, all kinds of exotic ability could take shape. Now, Li Ling Feng is trying to use that powerful exotic ability to confine Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen was indeed restrained, he felt his body gradually become as heavy as a mountain. It is difficult to even move a single step, his movement become very sluggish. If not for the searing divine flame throbbing outside of his body, he might have been ripped apart by the energy blades dropped by Carter.

“Hah……!” ⌈2⌋ Xiao Chen howled loudly, his entire body shook, and broke the mysterious energy that was confining him. And Psychic Li Ling Feng who was in midair suffered a recoil, he spit out a big mouthful of blood. His strength is truly powerful, but the person he is attacking, is actually a practitioner at the Fifth Celestial Layer of Exuvia. He is two level stronger than him.

In a short period of time, Xiao Chen killed six practitioners from The Avenger. Except Gu Luo, Li Ling Feng, and Carter, only one more practitioner who ran into the depths of the valley is left from the opposing side.

Now is the time to settle the dispute between Gu Luo and him.

Chapter 57 – The Avenger



Buddhist Yizhen said, “Last night, I had a meeting with Yan Qing Cheng, whenever I tried to bring up the matter regarding Wang Zi Feng and Liew Yue, she would skillfully divert the topic for some reason. She didn’t even give me a chance to explain.”

“Is that so.” Xiao Chen had some idea in mind, so he said, “It seems like she already knows, she didn’t want you to get caught up in between.”

“Maybe that is the case, but when we talk about you, she didn’t display any excessive hostility, she seemed very normal. Right now, we can’t be sure if she is planning to make her move against you or not, everything is very subtle.”

“Many thanks to brother Yizhen, I already know. The situation on the Dragon Island at the present time is very complicated, many things need to wait and see.”

Xiao Chen and Yizhen are not stupid either, many things need not to be said too openly.

There is a human figure swaying in a distant tree house, that is a member of the Dharma Alliance, someone is training in the forest. ⌈1

Buddhist Yichi seemed to have recalled something, and warned Xiao Chen, “You have to be careful, there is an alliance that wants to challenge you, they seem very crazy.”

“What alliance?” Xiao Chen had heard of this yesterday, but he didn’t ask which group of people.

“The Avenger.” ⌈2

“What? The Avenger?” Xiao Chen felt somewhat baffled, could they be seeking vengeance on him? He couldn’t help but ask, “Who is their founder?”

“He seems to be called Gu Luo, he is a one-armed man.” Buddhist Yichi said.

It really is him! When Xiao Chen heard of the alliance name, he already had a feeling that it might be Gu Luo. ⌈3

Last time, during the battle at the deathly swamp, Xiao Chen threw a sword to cut off one of Gu Luo’s arm just before he could escape. He suffered a heavy injury, yet he was able to survive in good health during the three days of big purge. Now he even established an alliance, called “The Avenger”, pointing their spears at him.

“May I ask if the two brothers here know how powerful the alliance is, do they have some incredible figure among them?”

Buddhist Yizhen who was at the side recollected the information from the back of his head, and said, “Founder Gu Luo, possess ability equivalent to Third Celestial Layer of Exuvia. But due to the lack of one arm, his actual ability might not be up to par. Other than that, Psychic Li Ling Feng, and Spell Master Carter, are experts at the Third Celestial Layer of Exuvia. As for the other seven, three of them are barely at the level of Exuvia, two of them are at the First Celestial Layer of Exuvia, and the other two is at the Second Celestial Layer of Exuvia.”

“Excluding Gu Luo, there are actually two experts at the Third Celestial Layer of Exuvia?” This is indeed a very powerful military strength. At the same time, Xiao Chen felt somewhat amazed, how could people be willing to work under him. Gu Luo is already handicapped, why would those two experts at the Third Celestial Layer be willing to join the alliance he founded. And if Gu Luo wants to seek vengeance, those people have no reason to get involved.

Yizhen laughed and said, “The Avenger is a temporary alliance, Psychic Li Ling Feng come from the treant’s valley, Spell Master Carter come from the Nature Alliance established by Yaluo De. After these two withdraw from their former alliance, they temporarily joined The Avenger.”

Everything is very easy to understand, The Avenger is founded with Xiao Chen as their target. Those two experts were transferred over there.

Xiao Chen started to ponder seriously, he is already at the Fifth Celestial Layer of Exuvia now, would he be able to go berserk for once? If he can get rid of a single alliance in one move, his influence will inevitably increase rapidly. If he wants to establish an alliance in the future, he will definitely attract a group of true expert! This way, he will finally possess a powerful military force.

“What are you thinking, are you going to take the risks?” It seems like Buddhist Yizhen could see what he was thinking.

“I really want to give it a try, a battle to establish my might, otherwise people would always come make trouble for me.” Xiao Chen explained in this way, even though he has the intention of establishing an alliance in his heart, he didn’t want to reveal it now.

“You are going to be facing ten experts at once, this is too risky, you have the rights to refuse!” Buddhist Yichi also discouraged him.

“No, I will take my chance!” Xiao Chen has made up his mind.

The Avenger and Xiao Chen shall fight!

Xiao Chen will challenge an alliance single-handedly!

The news spread at lightning speed, this news gave rise to a maelström of chaos, it attracted the attention of all the practitioners in this area. A lot of alliances from the distant place also rushed over here at high-speed after receiving the news.

After all, this is really too astonishing, to rely on the strength of a single person to challenge an alliance, if it is not because he is confident in his own strength, then he is an arrogant lunatic. The startling news quickly spread to numerous alliances, it is impossible for anyone on this Dragon Island to not remember the name of Xiao Chen.

Gu Luo finally appeared, he only has one left arm remaining, his complexion is somewhat pale, his gaze is much gloomier than before, his expression is incomparably cold. There are nine people following behind him, two people among them are clearly different from the rest. They seemed to despise Gu Luo, those who knows the inside story can easily guess, those two are precisely the Psychic Li Ling Feng, and the Spell Master Carter. They hail from the Treant’s Valley and Nature Alliance respectively, they are the temporary member of The Avenger.

Soon after, Xiao Chen also appeared, he didn’t seem nervous the slightest bit. Under the attentive gaze of numerous experts, he walked in front of Gu Luo and the rest as if he was taking a stroll in the garden.

At present, the majority of the people on the Dragon Island are youngster around the age of twenty. There are no lack of beautiful woman among them, there are even a few with peerless talent, and devastatingly beautiful. Right now, there are at least twenty alliances that arrived at the designated spot. There are no less than two hundred people, almost one-third of the entire population on the Dragon Island have arrived. There are even more people making their way over here.

“So he is Xiao Chen?”

“I heard of his name frequently!”

“This is that Dragon Island celebrity?”

“I finally meet this madman!”

“This guy is really a lunatic, he actually dares to challenge an alliance single-handedly!”

“Tall and heroic, he looks quite handsome.”

“Stop gawking at him!”

Everyone was discussing spiritedly, regardless of male or female practitioners, everyone focused their gaze on Xiao Chen, and made all kind of comments regarding him.

The battle with Chaos last time, there were only hundreds of people on the scene. And this time there are two hundred plus people before it even begin, and it finally break through three hundred people in the end. The reason why several hundreds of other people did not show up is because they are either too far away from here, didn’t hear the news yet, or they didn’t have enough time.

“Hmph!” Gu Luo snorted coldly, his eyes were filled with undisguised resentment.

Xiao Chen is very calm, and said, “Don’t think of yourself as the victim, you should be very clear, it was you who forced my hand first. When you go the wrong way, and make an error, you have to pay the price!”

Chapter 56 – Breakthrough to Fifth Celestial Layer



Few of the people on the woods recognized Xiao Chen, they encircled him to inform him about this news. Xiao Chen said without thinking twice, “I refuse to battle that shameless alliance.” Xiao Chen left in a hurry, throwing off a few pursuer, and rushed all the way to the west, back to his secret training place.

Keke curled up into a snow-white pompom, and slept among the flowers and plants. The divine sproutling is rooted among the cluster of flowers right beside it, seven-colored splendor is lingering on the sproutling. It set off the laziness of the hairy Keke in contrast. The three skeletons are quietly meditating in the cave, the lotus insignia on the foreheads shine with a glorious radiance.

Xiao Chen didn’t disturb them, he is carving something by himself in the spacious and empty area of the valley. He carved the topographic map of the Dragon Island’s outer region on the ground. The Tyrannical Dragon’s territory, the Tyrant Dragon’s Beach, the Elephans Draco’s Valley, one should not provoke the vicious dragon in these area.

Soon after, he included the deathly swamp, there is an Undead Emperor within the swamp, it is also not a monster he can provoke. After that, he also included the treant’s valley, there is an old treant in the depths of that valley that already evolved into mankind. That is a being as powerful as a vicious dragon, it is not someone he can provoke.

These are the few prohibited areas at the outer region of the Dragon Island that one should not offend. And the dozens of alliances are distributed right between these areas. No one has entered the depths of the island.

Xiao Chen calmly ponder for a long time, the Dragon Island brimming with dangers and challenges, but it is also overflowing with all kinds of opportunities!

Maybe he should set off for the depths of the island, perhaps he can acquire more dragon eggs, maybe he should establish an alliance, and gather a group of experts; Maybe……

Xiao Chen fetched the crystallization of the Sweet Dew of Life that he hid in the valley, a glorious life energy circulated around his palm. The sparkling clear crystal contains an endless amount of life essence. He originally planned to keep it as a life saving item, if he used it after he sustained a serious injury, it is certain to have an abrupt effect. But now he feel that he should assimilate it as soon as possible, and heighten his own strength.

On the Dragon Island filled with dangers, only strength can determine everything!

Xiao Chen grabbed the sparkling clear crystal within his palm. When he operated the secret technique, the crystal transformed into a glorious splendor and wrapped him within. One after another resplendent life energy seeped into his body, this is the purest life energy, not a trace of impurity could be found. It fused with his body like water and milk mixing together.

Looking from a distant, his figure was submerged in the dazzling divine radiance. The glaring radiance caused the spiritual aura within the valley to fluctuate intensely. Keke was aroused from deep slumber, it curiously ran over here, and wander around Xiao Chen repeatedly. The three skeletons walked out from the distant cavern, they also got in front of Xiao Chen who was submerged in the multi colored radiance.

Since the sun sets in the west, it persisted until the entire sky is filled with glittering stars, and then it continued until the midnight. Xiao Chen’s body was continuously enveloped by the bright radiance. Keke yawned again and again, it turned its chubby little body, and curled up among the flowers and plants, it fell soundly asleep again.

The three skeletons seated around in the vicinity, and meditated quietly. They seemed to be guarding Xiao Chen.

Only until the latter half of the night did all the divine radiance outside of Xiao Chen’s body dissipated. The glittering starlight, and the moonlight is as hazy as the water.

The tremendous life energy was deprived once more, the majority of it gathered in the “Shoulder Well Acupoint” ⌈1⌋ at Xiao Chen’s left shoulder. He slowly attempted to try something, he felt the life energy really did gather in his flesh and internal organs in the beginning, so he operated the secret technique at full strength to absorb as much essence of the crystal as possible.

Only that, the speed of the secret technique become faster and faster, until he finally lost control of it. The left “Shoulder Well Acupoint” is like a bottomless pit, it automatically deprived a huge amount of life essence. In the end, most of the life essence ended up in the “Shoulder Well Acupoint”. The essence condensed into a speck of glorious radiance, the left “Shoulder Well Acupoint” had been divinized!

He can only say, the Qi-Training Technique on the ancient divine monolith is too mysterious and tyrannical!

However, a portion of the enormous life energy was still assimilated by Xiao Chen’s flesh. He clearly felt the promotion of his ability, his skin is flickering with a sparkling splendor, it felt as if his body had just went through a fortification. Every inch of his skin contained a powerful strength, and his body seemed to feel much lighter.

Xiao Chen lightly waved his hand, a dazzling radiance soared into the sky. It seems as if the radiance was linked to the starlight in the sky. The glorious sword radiance is especially bright under the night sky! He knew that he has just broken through the Fifth Celestial Layer of Exuvia! He has advanced a big step forward in his path of training.

Xiao Chen slowly calmed down, this is a very beneficial night, other than breaking through the Fifth Celestial Layer, the Center Palace Acupoint in his left foot, the Center Palace Acupoint in his right foot, the Shang Hill Acupoint in his chest, and the Shoulder Well Acupoint in his left shoulder, four acupuncture points have already divinized. He is looking forward to the divinization of much more acupuncture points.

After breaking through to the Fifth Celestial Layer of Exuvia, and in addition of the exuberant life energy, Xiao Chen is brimming with self-confidence. On this dangerous Dragon Island, only with enough strength will they have nothing to fear! ⌈2

The morning sunshine is very gentle, Keke who had abundance of sleep woke up early in the morning. It is rolling here and there among the flowers and plants. ⌈3⌋ Its snow-white fur is flickering with a faint radiance, its pair of glittering big eyes are brimming with spiritual aura.

Only that, when the fragrance of the roasted meat started to permeate in this valley, Keke revealed a miserable expression. It used its tiny paw to rub its plump little belly while watching Xiao Chen who is currently enjoying his breakfast from a distant. Its saliva almost flow out due to the craving.

It painfully used its pair of paws to cover its glittering big eyes. After that it strives hard to bury itself among the flowers and plants, no longer looking at that golden, and glossy delicacy that make it drool with desire.

“Keke, come over here, eat a little.” Xiao Chen felt the scene was really amusing, so he teased it on purpose.

“Squeak, squeak!” Keke waved its snow-white little paws to protest fiercely.

Xiao Chen smiled, this little critter is really too amusing.

The three skeletons are meditating in a cavern nearby. After they make a breakthrough recently, they seemed to have grasped the essence of meditation. The lotus insignia on the foreheads shone brightly, the insignia is able to guide the worldly essence towards them.

After finishing up his breakfast, Xiao Chen left the valley, and go exploring by himself again.

Passing through the dense ancient forest, Xiao Chen arrived at the Dharma Alliance one more time. Atop the beautiful mountain range, the tree houses, morning sun, fresh flowers, and morning dews…… everything is in harmony.

Only that, after seeing two young monk eating a roasted goat leg, the feeling earlier disappeared in a short while.

After they saw Xiao Chen’s shocked expression, Buddhist Yizhen and Buddhist Yichi laughed heartily. Yizhen said, “The world of immortals is different from the mortal world, you should have already perceived it. Even though we are buddhist, we are not that much different from an ordinary person. In the world of immortals, we put more importance in training than our creed.”

Xiao Chen nodded, and he laughed without saying a single word.

When the two young monks washed their hands in the clear spring nearby, they gives people a transcendental feeling again. The two were hardly putting on an act, it seems like everything stem from their hearts. They are eating meat without apprehension, and openly said their creed means nothing to them, perhaps this is already some kind of meditation in itself.

  3. Silva: Dangit… how can something be this cute! A smile would automatically break up on my face every time I read about this little critter. 

Chapter 55 – Befriended in Private



There are many alliances on the Dragon Island, Xiao Chen also didn’t want to go on without any support. It is not a must to join a certain alliance, but he wanted to befriend with some people at the very least. So that they can help each other out in the future.

He wanted to go visit Buddhist Yizhen secretly, he is especially careful this time, he didn’t get caught by anyone while passing through the dense ancient forest. He emerged on a mountain range with beautiful landscape.

This is precisely the location of the Dharma Alliance, next to the breathtaking landscape of the mountain range, there are as many tree houses as they are stars in the sky. They are leaning upon the forest mountain, it is a very creative concept. It is truly an unconventional world where the true experts live in seclusion.

Completely relying on some kind of instinct, Xiao Chen walked towards a tree house. When he was still a few dozen meter away from that place, the door to one of the tree house had opened, Buddhist Yizhen had a really sharp intuition. Meanwhile, the door to another tree house not far away was also pushed open, the other young monk was leaning on the door.

Xiao Chen knew, that must be the senior apprentice that Buddhist Yizhen always mentioned.

“Xiao Chen, I knew you will come to find me eventually.” Buddhist Yizhen smiled brightly.

The gray-clothed monk who is approaching is indeed Buddhist Yizhen’s senior apprentice. His religious name is Yichi, and just like Buddhist Yizhen, he didn’t refer to Xiao Chen as as almsgiver, he also didn’t refer to himself as a wise monk. Even though they are Buddhist monk, their etiquette is not much different from an ordinary person.

The two young monks are very amiable, Yizhen laughed and said, “You are a celebrity now!”

All of Xiao Chen’s “self-defense” had really turned him into a “celebrity”, he set up a huge conflagration to burn the treant’s valley, causing Zhao Lin Er’s team to gnash their teeth. And the confrontation with Chaos today was the first legal battle, it was very eye-catching. After that, he even went as far as trampling Damian the Spell Master down from the empty sky. A few dozens of alliances were startled by him.

“How about joining our alliance?”

“Are you not afraid that I will stir up big problem for you?” Xiao Chen laughed and said, “You must know that I have offended a lot of people. Those people from the treant’s valley harbor a hatred for me. There’s also the situation between me, Yaluo De and Chaos, we are just like the fire and water.”

Buddhist Yichi who was at the side laughed, and said, “We heard the rumor, today you pushed down Chaos with brute strength, beating that madman from the Barbarian Tribe until he felt fearful, and you even trampled Damian the Spell Master. You achieved complete victory effortlessly, you are indeed a true expert.”

Yizhen laughed and said, “I didn’t expect there would come a time where I would also make an error of judgment, I was even worried about you before. I didn’t expect you can completely suppress Chaos, you don’t need to worry as much if you join us.”

Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head, then he said, “I don’t want to bring you guys too much trouble, though I do appreciate your kindness.”

“We didn’t offer to shelter you out of kindness, it was because you had sufficient strength and qualification to join us.” The two of them were very frank, they didn’t try to hide anything, they stated very clearly that they were only interested in his strength.

Xiao Chen likes to make a deal with this kind of people, he talked bluntly, “The trouble I caused far exceeded what you know of, if you guys don’t mind, we can help each other out in private. Even though I didn’t join your alliance on the surface, if you guys are facing a crisis, I will certainly come to help. Similarly, if I run into trouble, I wish you guys will come to assist me. This way, we will have formed an alliance, but you guys won’t incur any trouble due to me.

Buddhist Yizhen and Yichi laughed heartily at the same time, they accepted the proposal jubilantly, this proposal was just too good for them.

There is one thing that Xiao Chen must confirm no matter what, otherwise he will be extremely worried and troubled. He wanted to know, if that youth evolved from the treant in the valley is together with Zhao Lin Er and her gang or not. Xiao Chen had a deep feeling of foreboding regarding that treant which had an aura as powerful as that of a fierce dragon.

Buddhist Yizhen actually know about the existence of that treant, it was the news spread by Yaluo De. He claimed that he was unable to see the limits of that treant. Due to this, many alliances are fearful of the treant’s valley.

However, according to rumor, that powerful treant is currently training by itself, no one is permitted to enter the depths of the valley. Moreover, under his constrain, the treants are not allowed to leave the valley without his authority.

After hearing this news, the uneasiness in Xiao Chen’s heart disappeared.

“Brother Yizhen, I want to know, how is the relationship between Yan Qing Cheng and her fellow apprentices?” There is a reason why Xiao Chen asked this kind of question, a strife existed even among the foundation left behind in the human world by the Undying King. There were always competing with one another, many fellow apprentices were just like the fire and water.

He really wanted to know whether or not this kind of situation is also true in the world of immortals. If that is the case, maybe he can finally expose the matter regarding Wang Zi Feng and Liew Yue at this point.

“They don’t seem to get along well, there were always internal strives among them. Otherwise Yan Qing Cheng also wouldn’t team up with Lande, and abandon the rest of their fellow apprentices.” Buddhist Yizhen answered his question, but he felt a little puzzled, so he asked, “Why are you asking these?”

“It is hard to explain in a few words, since two brothers have inquired, I also wouldn’t conceal anything, I have complete trust in the both of you.” Regardless of whether he trust them or not, Xiao Chen must use his speech to make himself clear.

“I previously killed Wang Zi Feng and Liew Yue……”

“What?!”

“Seriously?!”

Buddhist Yizhen and Buddhist Yichi were very startled.

Xiao Chen briefly go through the entire situation once, if not because Zhao Lin Er also know of this matter, he could have left this case completely unresolved. Now, he must make some preparation in advance. Otherwise, he is bound to meet an unfortunate end if Zhao Lin Er had informed Yan Qing Cheng.

Since Yan Qing Cheng doesn’t get along well with her fellow apprentices, he wanted to dissolve the misunderstanding by means of Buddhist Yizhen. It is not because Xiao Chen is weak and timid, against those who are clearly his enemy, he will never compromise. But for those people who seem likely to become his enemy, he want to try to resolve it peacefully. Nobody likes to make enemies all over the place willingly.

Xiao Chen is not that kind of madman who only knows how to kill. The situation now is very complicated, he wants to reduce his enemy as much as possible. However, if they failed to resolve it peacefully, and categorized as an enemy, he will inevitably treat them the way he treated Chaos, he will absolutely not go easy on them.

In reality, Xiao Chen really wanted to have a decisive battle with Yan Qing Cheng and Lande. He was totally scorned by the two in question before, he really wanted to use absolute strength to suppress the two individual, and smash their arrogant attitude into pieces.

After listening to the brief story, Buddhist Yichi heaved a sigh and said, “You make your move when the time is right, brother Xiao Chen is indeed decisive. Otherwise you might have a hard time against those two.”

Yichi is not making an empty talk, Wang Zi Feng and Liew Yue were both very strong, if Xiao Chen did not take advantage of the Tyrannical Dragon’s ear-piercing roar, the consequences will be very hard to predict.

Yizhen understood Xiao Chen’s idea, he laughed and said, “I will give it a try, but Yan Qing Cheng is very stubborn, it is very hard for other people to influence her way of thinking. Even if she is hostile towards her fellow apprentices, they are from the same faction. This involves the problem of their faction’s honor……”

“Thank you for your trouble, brother Yizhen.” Xiao Chen also didn’t expect this to thoroughly resolve the conflict, if it is impossible after all, then a battle it is. Withdrawing is always the worst method to settle a dispute. The more effective way is to fight until the opposing side is afraid of you. Of course, that is only if you have that kind of strength.

After Xiao Chen bid farewell to Yizhen and his fellow apprentices, he walked past an area with a great number of people. A few practitioners are currently discussing something in this spacious woodland. It seems like there is an alliance that wants to challenge Xiao Chen! All ten people from the alliance will challenge one person, this is really too domineering.

Chapter 54 – Trample the Spell Master



“Stop it!” Damian flew over at high-speed, like a streak of golden lightning. From his mouth transmitted an eccentric sound, then with the wave of both hands, his spell was released. A several meter long energy-converted giant serpent swept towards Xiao Chen with its huge body.

“Shameless!”

“Despicable!”

……

The audiences are unable to put up with it any longer, Damian grabbed Xiao Chen’s speech before, and disgracefully obtained the rights to challenge him, but he was already forced by Chaos to withdraw. However, just now he actually dashed over here, and launched an attack. It must be Yaluo De who gave him the command, he was afraid that Chaos will be killed. They didn’t even care about their faces now.

“Hmph!” Xiao Chen snorted coldly, he grabbed the heavily injured Chaos, and violently swing him against the energy-converted giant serpent.

“Boom!”

The energy-converted serpent was routed in the sky, and Chaos had more fractures on his body. Xiao Chen landed on the ground while swinging Chaos’ body around. After that he fling Chaos into the sky, and brandished his fist to strike Chaos’ chest with all his might!

The aura of the fist is as bright as a star, it is as if a comet had streak through the sky. A dazzling divine radiance burst forth, and violently strike on Chaos’ chest. At the same time, a glaring divine blade chopped towards Chaos’ neck, causing him to fly twenty meter away. Within that interval, a few dozen of ancient trees were snapped in a row.

Chaos is a praise-worthy opponent, but an enemy is still an enemy, regardless of his honor as a Martial Artist, they are still enemy in the end. It is impossible for them to sit down to drink and chat merrily every time they come across each other, they can only face each other in a life and death battle. Thus, Xiao Chen didn’t even think twice, he directly used the most effective method to kill him!

However, unexpected thing happens frequently, he actually didn’t manage to kill Chaos.

Chaos heed from the Barbarian Tribe, many experts in this tribe had ancient beast soul sealed within their body! Without a doubt, Chaos possesses ancient beast soul within his body. Moreover, he actually had two beast souls in addition to his body. The difference is that one is the soul of a divine wolf, while the other is of a fierce tiger. Just at this time, the hidden potential of the ancient beast souls were triggered. A dazzling radiance burst forth, and blocked most of the power behind Xiao Chen’s attack, they were able to preserve the life of Chaos.

However, a majority of Chaos’ bones were fractured, he sustained an unimaginable damage. He would remain a handicapped person until half a year later, he will not be able to threaten Xiao Chen again.

The audience from every alliances began to clamor, Xiao Chen’s strength gave them a really profound impression. Many of them were incomparably shocked.

In a distant place, Yaluo De bellowed in rage, he caught Chaos who was falling from the sky. He was filled with murderous intent when he looked at Xiao Chen.

On the other side, Spell Master Damian already engaged in a battle with Xiao Chen. Spells were constantly dispatched, purple lightning, black underworld flame, energy giant serpent, and blazing divine blade…… were brandished around unceasingly. Damian was attacking Xiao Chen like a madman.

However, under the glorious aura of Xiao Chen’s fist, every spell completely crumbled apart, unable to injure his body. Damian gradually lost his patience, he was already ridiculed by others when he just entered the arena, and now he is actually losing ground against someone who had just went through a life and death battle. He felt even more irritated in his heart.

Damian’s flying altitude is getting closer and closer to the ground, he had no choice but to slowly approach Xiao Chen. It was because Xiao Chen is too strong, spells dispatched from long distance were unable to do anything to Xiao Chen.

But doing this didn’t bear any result, it only help Xiao Chen accomplish his aim.

Xiao Chen keenly grasped the opportunity in the battle, as if his tall and straight body was taken over by a fleeting light, he left behind an afterimage in the woodland. Xiao Chen transformed into a streak of light, and dashed above a tall ancient tree. Soon after, he soared into the sky.

Under the inconceivable gazes of numerous audience, Xiao Chen trod on the empty sky, he ran at high-speed in the sky, transforming into a streak of light, and left behind a few afterimages. It lasted until he finally stepped on Damian’s body, then he exerted strength on both legs to stamp on Damian, causing him to let out a miserable shriek. Damian fell from the sky while bearing the weight of Xiao Chen’s body.

“Boom!”

After they landed on the ground, more than half of Damian’s bones were fractured. Xiao Chen lightly waved his right hand backwards, he left with large strides without even looking back. A dazzling divine radiance swept past, Damian’s head tumble down from his neck, fresh blood gushed out.

This is really too shocking, it can even be rated as a classic battle! A Spell Master capable of flying, was actually trampled by a Martial Artist. This is simply inconceivable, this will definitely become the perfect teaching material for when one is confronting a Spell Master!

Many of the audience could not endure it any longer and they let out a cheer. The intention of recruiting Xiao Chen had arisen in the minds of many alliances, quite a few people wanted to discuss this matter with him.

The curtains of the splendid match closed with this, a lot of people are talking about it. This is the first legal battle after the establishment of the alliances. It was also an extremely marvelous fight, Xiao Chen had inevitably become famous on this Dragon Island.

Many people extended their goodwill towards Xiao Chen, but they were all indirectly rejected by Xiao Chen. He didn’t want to bind himself in a certain alliance. ⌈1

As for what had happened recently, he already knows. He knew that the Dragon Island will become very interesting, and also very cruel. In his opinion, if one had enough strength, they might obtain everything, otherwise they might encounter all kinds of danger.

He had already heard, some of the beautiful female practitioners invited the founder of a certain alliances to their bed. And today, he finally experienced this personally, there is actually a sexy and charming female practitioner extending a “pink flag” ⌈2⌋ towards him.

Xiao Chen is an ordinary man, he is equally attracted to a beautiful woman, but he still rejected in the end. He clearly knows what he should be doing now, the most important thing is to work hard to become stronger on this dangerous Dragon Island. As for the rest, there are plenty of opportunity in the future.

Xiao Chen was very calm after the big battle. The dangerous and exciting Dragon Island is not that terrifying in regards to Xiao Chen. On the contrary, he felt this island might be brimming with opportunities and challenges.

Some people felt delighted, naturally there were also some who were not happy. At the moment, the Nature Alliance established by Yaluo De was furious. And it was the same for the treant’s valley, how could Zhao Lin Er be happy with the result!

Within the Undying Alliance, Lande was astonished after he got wind of the news. Both he and Yan Qing Cheng did not go watch the battle. He could not believe Chaos would suffer a crushing defeat in Xiao Chen’s hand. The exceptionally beautiful Yan Qing Cheng, stood in front of the spectacular waterfall, also exposed a slight color of astonishment. Xiao Chen’s strength had far exceeded her expectation.

An ice-cold smile gradually emerged on Lande’s face, then he said, “Such an interesting guy, I will personally go test his skill!”

“Don’t act rashly, according to the rumor, it will be very difficult to win even if you are stronger than him. He knows how to conceal his own ability.” Yan Qing Cheng had an exceptional bearing, as if she emerged from one’s wildest dream.

“Hmph, so what if he is concealing his true strength, I was also holding back to some extend!” ⌈3

Chapter 53 – Fierce Battle



“Wait a moment!” After receiving the news, Yaluo De finally arrived before the start of the battle. Behind him are the members of the Nature Alliance which Yaluo De and Chaos established. Yaluo De had a really ugly expression, he didn’t want something unexpected to happen to Chaos, so he shouted loudly, “Someone else wanted to fight with Xiao Chen first!”

Among the hundreds of practitioners on the scene, many of them sneered at Yaluo De. Some people remain indifferent, since it is a matter of no concern to them, they are fine as long as they can see a worthy life and death battle.

Chaos’ complexion turned pale, even though he knew Yaluo De was worried about him, he was still very angry. He felt extremely shameful in front of so many audience.

“There is someone else who wants to challenge me, what do you think Chaos? If you want to challenge me in a two vs one battle, I can even let him work together with you to battle me.” Xiao Chen knew it was impossible for Chaos to consent. However, with Yaluo De’s signal, a Spell Master flew out from the Nature Alliance. He accepted Xiao Chen’s proposal, and said loudly to the audience, “Good, since Xiao Chen had already agreed, then I will also challenge him.”

This is simply too shameless, they are too thick-skinned! Xiao Chen never thought, Yaluo De would incite someone to do this. They have completely threw away all their faces.

As the founder of the Nature Alliance, Yaluo De represented his own alliance to take the initiative to approve the battle. And the second to approve was the alliance from treant’s valley, Zhao Lin Er had also just arrived a moment ago. The third to express their approval was an alliance called “Fluttering Cloud”, the founder is a beautiful girl called Limeow. Xiao Chen don’t remember ever offending this kind of woman before. But after seeing that she is standing not far away from Yaluo De, he immediately understood, the two alliance seemed to come from the same branch.

Many people were sneering at them, this is really too excessive. Chaos let out a snarl, he faced the Spell Master flying towards him, and shouted, “Step down! If you dare to disturb the battle between me and Xiao Chen, I will tear you apart first!”

The golden-haired Spell Master was called Damian, he was unnerved, and his face turned pale. Originally, when he wanted to rush over to lend Chaos a helping hand, he was already ridiculed by others. And now he even got reprimanded by Chaos, his complexion changed right away. He tucked his sleeves angrily and left the arena.

“I swear in my name, if anyone dare to disturb our battle, I will not let you go until either of us is dead!” The deep and low beastly howl resounded within the woods, it was overflowing with fiendish aura.

Yaluo De felt helpless, Damian the golden-haired Spell Master’s complexion turned pale, the little incident before the battle ended like this.

Chaos let out a huge roar that shook the forest trees, he appear extremely brutal, green ominous glint gradually emitted from his pair of eyes, without wasting any more time on superfluous words, his three meter tall demonic body emitted a tyrannical aura. A full head of long brownish-yellow hair danced about hysterically, he appears incomparably ferocious.

Two huge monsters, approximately ten meter tall, were completely made up of divine radiance. They released a fiendish aura that would even shake the soul, the monsters are now floating behind Chaos. One is an energy-converted green divine wolf, the other one is an energy-converted yellow tiger, from their huge figures emitted waves of faintly discernible snarl that make people nervous. They make Chaos appear very frightening.

The vicious beasts are protecting him! Chaos seemed like the king of the beasts, a divine radiance lingered all around his body. He bellowed hysterically and dashed towards Xiao Chen, his pair of huge claws almost tore the space apart, the greenish-yellow dazzling radiance caused a distortion in space.

Xiao Chen was also as imposing as Chaos, his entire person resembled a huge mountain, he emitted an incomparably imposing and powerful aura. His entire body was shrouded in brilliant rays, the searing divine flame throbbed, he took a single step forward, and the earth trembled along with his footsteps.

A merciless blow, Xiao Chen released a bright divine radiance from his two hands over and over again, they are like divine blades that covered the entire sky. There are practically no opening in between the dazzling radiance. The nearby space is completely submerged by the dazzling radiance.

Within the terrifying energy radiance, one can vaguely see a divine radiance. It constantly clashed with the two vicious beasts, a terrifying aura spread over the entire mountain ridge.

Numerous alliance members are outside of the arena, a lot of people immediately turned pale after watching the battle.

Even the earth already started to tremble, the forest tree swayed hysterically, the dead leaves fluttered about in the air, the area in the vicinity is overflowing with powerful energy from the aftermath. The two people in the arena are moving like lightning within the dazzling radiance. They left one after another afterimages in the glaring radiance. They are exchanging blows after blows at lightning speed.

All kinds of exquisite killing techniques would be unveiled in a flash, the fight has exceeded the visual reaction of most of the people. This is a life and death confrontation between two experts!

Divine radiance, afterimages, demonic claws, beast soul, divine blade…… every time they intersected, a terrifying energy would spread all over the direction! The surrounding forest trees fell one after another, even if it was just the aftermath of the battle, those tall ancient trees were also unable to withstand it. The branches and withered leaves filled the sky, the wood shavings danced in the air like the snowflakes.

The two individuals emitted dazzling radiance from their entire body, it was like a raging divine flame. As a result of their extreme speed, their movement in the arena seemed like one after another lightning brandishing wildly.

“Roar……” Chaos bellowed in rage, he jumped high into the sky, and swooped down like a Northern Goshawk1⌋. Xiao Chen jumped after him and had his right arm grabbed firmly by Chaos. Just when Chaos wanted to turn his body around, he found that Xiao Chen was like an insurmountable mountain, he was not able to make Xiao Chen move the slightest bit. On the contrary, Xiao Chen twisted his wrist and grabbed Chaos’ left wrist, he turned his back to Chaos and violently throw his three meter tall body.

Divine radiance rushed forth, Chaos continuously knocked down eleven ancient trees before he fell among the broken branches and withered leaves. He dashed forward one more time while bellowing in rage. Only, he knew that he is no match for Xiao Chen, recalling the crushing defeat from last time, his self-confidence was swayed.

Xiao Chen soared into the sky one more time, he continuously sweep across both of his legs in the sky. The dazzling radiance fly towards Chaos, he used both arms to defend. Withstanding the attacks that weighed as much as ten thousand catties.

“Bang!”

Chaos was swept away by Xiao Chen who was in midair. A dazzling radiance burst out, destroying a wide expanse of forest trees.

All the audience here are the heroes of the new generation, but after looking at this match, the color of their faces couldn’t help but change.

“Roar……” Chaos bellowed in rage, but as soon as he stood up, his left arm was grabbed by Xiao Chen who got over here with lightning speed, and was tossed into the sky. After that, Xiao Chen rotated his right leg high up in the sky, and firmly smashed Chaos towards the ground.

Soon after, he left another afterimage in the sky. His two legs firmly locked onto Chaos’ chest, if that attack didn’t miss the target, his body will inevitably burst open. Chaos could feel an unprecedented fear, the battle last time already left a shadow in his heart, and to suffer another crushing defeat this time, he had lost all his drive. He hastily rolled his body in order to survive.

Xiao Chen’s two legs stamped firmly on the ground, the earth trembled violently. One after another terrifying huge cracks appeared on the ground, the cracks extended over a long distant.

“Snap!”

Xiao Chen stamped one more time, with a bone snapping noise, Chaos’ two legs were snapped off. A miserable shriek rang out in the forest, Xiao Chen swept his right foot with sudden force, kicking Chaos into the midair. A glorious radiance lingered all over his body, Xiao Chen soared into the sky and grabbed Chaos’ arms with his two hands. He snapped off Chaos’ arms with two brittle cracking sound.



 

Chapter 52 – The End of Secret Training



Many restrictions were slowly put into place.

In order to prevent themselves from killing each other mutually, to prevent another disaster from taking place, to prevent the actions of the schemer, another new rule was put into place. If there are any conflicting views between any two alliances, they cannot conduct a battle royal with more than three alliances. Only when ten alliances agreed upon it will the two alliances be able to settle their conflict with military force.

Thereby preventing the alliance from joining forces.

And the conflict between two individuals only require the consent from three alliances.

On the surface, preventing an alliance from growing too much seemed to have prevented the appearance of a king. However, the situation right now is still brimming with all kinds of malpractice. A battle would still break out from time to time, even though it had already been legalized.

In the end, all the people capable of entering the Dragon Island are the representatives of various clans, they are all distinguished figures from somewhere. All of them are very conceited and proud, they are rather happy to see these kind of rules were put into place. They have already put a restriction on the powerful forces, and now they can show off their powers in a battle legitimately.

In a short few days, many secret dealings were taking place on the Dragon Island, thus a few dozen alliances were formed very quickly. The people who did not join any alliance are very rarely seen. Of course, it is natural for there to be some special case. Rumor has it that someone with immeasurable strength had already entered the depths of the Dragon Island.

Xiao Chen walked out from a hidden cliff, arriving at a brightly colored valley. There are various kind of exotic flowers in full bloom here, the jade-like grass spread as far as the eyes can see, the green bamboos were emerald-green, there are even waterfalls, jade-like streamlet, and bluish-green tiny lake, the landscape is very beautiful.

The snow-white little critter lazily and helplessly recline on the flowers and plants. The little guy felt incomparably distressed since many days ago, every day it was enticed by the fragrance of Xiao Chen’s roasted meat, so much that even its drool is flowing out. However, it was unable to enjoy it, the little critter drank too much Sweet Dew of Life last time, even its little belly had turned as round as a ball. After a month had passed, not much of it has been digested yet. In the face of such a delicious food, it can only watch and sigh in admiration.

Seeing the appearance of the little critter drooling, Xiao Chen felt it was especially funny. During this period of training, Xiao Chen gave the little critter a name called Keke. He originally wanted to call it “Hehe”, because when the little critter is happy, it will always giggled incessantly. In the end, he chose a name with similar pronunciation.

The three skeletons made a considerable breakthrough in this period of time, it was due to the crystallization of the sweet dew given to them by the little critter. In the beginning, Xiao Chen was a little anxious seeing the three skeletons absorb the crystal. After all, they are undead creatures, he was afraid that there would be a conflict due to different properties of energy.

However, after a throughout observation, he found that it was a needless worry. They are not really those kind of departed spirit in one’s imagination. Their spiritual light did not extinguish. In a sense, their souls are not that much different from a human’s soul. In fact, their souls are much stronger than an average person’s soul!

A crystallized Sweet Dew of Life was only about the size of a little finger, but the pure energy it contained was unimaginable. It was almost comparable to a dragon crystal, and precisely because of this crystal, the three skeletons finally breakthrough one of the bottleneck.

Originally, they were around the realm of Exuvia, but they were very unstable. Sometimes, after a fierce battle, they will drop from this level. And now they finally entered the Second Celestial Layer of Exuvia. Their white frameworks are much shinier now, they appear as smooth as jade.

The most important thing is the bizarre changes of the three skeletons, on their foreheads appeared a lotus-shaped insignia that can produce divine light.

Xiao Chen could vaguely feel the formation of that insignia will be very beneficial for the three skeletons. Perhaps most of the essence from the crystal gathered there.

One can say they have finally become a real expert, they can finally contend against powerful enemy alongside Xiao Chen.

What kind of changes happened in the outside world for the past few days, Xiao Chen did not know. He decided to go out and roam around, but this time he didn’t bring the three skeletons along, they are too eye-catching.

Pushing his way through the dense jungle alone, he returned to the familiar zone. He quickly discovered many abnormal location.

Not long later, Xiao Chen finally found out what happened recently, regarding the alliance, and the regulations drawn up for their own survival. He accurately identified the benefits and disadvantages among the regulations. On the surface, it seems that there are some constraints on the Dragon Island, but the battles are completely legalized!

He tried to move stealthily, but there are too many practitioners in this area. He is still discovered before long, his portrait was once painted on a banner, some people have seen it before, there are even more people who have heard of him. He once set fire on the treant’s valley ruthlessly and destroyed half of the area. Xiao Chen can be regarded as a celebrity now.

It is fortunate that Xiao Chen is no longer in his hideout. Since he has already been discovered, he openly walked towards the mountain forest. Since the battle has already been legalized, they cannot voluntary provoke someone. Xiao Chen is actually looking forward to the day Zhao Lin Er come to challenge him legally.

Very soon, some people approached him, but it was not Zhao Lin Er. They wanted to pull Xiao Chen into their alliance, only to be indirectly rejected by him. After this, someone appeared every now and then, a few alliances extended their goodwill. However, they were all turned down gracefully by Xiao Chen, he didn’t want to bind himself to a certain alliance yet.

Until he finally arrived not far away from the dwelling of the Elephans Draco, Xiao Chen had no choice but to stop his footstep. It was because someone with an ill complexion blocked his way, it was actually Chaos.

“What a coincidence, we meet again.” Xiao Chen wear a faint smile.

Chaos had an extremely gloomy look, the battle last time was considered a humiliation to him. When he heard Xiao Chen had entered this region just now, he immediately rushed over here. Even though he suffered a crushing defeat last time, the ancient beast soul within his body started to fuse with his body. While this made him feel extremely vexed, he gradually regained self-confidence. He wanted to fight with Xiao Chen again to clear up the past humiliation.

Today is a rare opportunity!

“I will rip you apart this time!” Chaos let out a growl, his three meter tall body, appeared exceptionally terrifying under the shadow of the woods.

“I heard, the battles are already legalized. Should we not find someone to be the witness?” Xiao Chen was completely fearless, he even appeared somewhat easygoing.

“Of course!” Even though Chaos had an inherent beastly nature, he also didn’t dare to mess around by himself. After all, the regulations are set just recently, he didn’t want to be the first to break the rules. Perhaps he might really be used as an example by those ambitious people, and invite his own doom.

There are a lot of practitioners in this area, the news spread out immediately, three alliances founder showed up on the spot right away. They unanimously approved the showdown, but the arena need to be picked by them. This area is too close to the Elephans Draco’s territory, in order to avoid alarming the fierce dragon, they need to keep far away from here.

The news spread at lightning speed. After all, since the formation of the alliance, this is the first legal battle after all kinds of regulations were put in place, it is a huge attraction! Not long later, hundreds of people gathered on the newly determined arena. A few dozen alliances had already arrived, and there are even more people rushing over here.

Chapter 51 – Big Purge



Such a dreadful Taboo Ocean, even the sky was already enclosed!

Fallen Angels have ability comparable to the demigods, they were revered as an ancient deity clan by some weaker races! And this kind of existence…… was also unable to resist the sealing power of the Taboo Ocean.

And not far away, a human Martial Artist who is capable of flying, also perished within that divine light at high-speed. That was a demigod level expert who was keeping watch at the outer region of the island, to wait and provide support for the young experts from their own side. That was an extremely powerful figure in the world of immortals.

Immortalis and Nirvana level practitioners normally don’t tread on the mundane world, the demigod level expert from Zephyrus realm could be considered a figure that is already at the top of the pyramid in this secular world. They can contend against the legendary ancient Fallen Angel race, and strive against the Sacred Dragon. However, they are also unable to resist the sealing power of the Taboo Ocean.

All the young experts at the outer region of the island completely fell apart. Even demigods can’t break out of the Taboo Ocean, how will they ever leave? They will be trapped here for eternity. This day, the panic spread over the entire Dragon Island. To them, this sudden unforeseen event was like the end of the world.

There are no hope on the Dragon Island, only despair awaits on this island!

The divine radiance above the Dragon Island finally diminished, everything slowly returned to normal, the sea area in the vicinity gradually calmed down. The divine radiance is already gone, but one can clearly feel, there is a mysterious power in the seawater separating this Dragon Island from the outside world.

For close to one month, Xiao Chen was indulged in training, strength is everything!

Only until the big event that occurred on Dragon Island today did he finally stop. Very soon, he found out what was happening, this is also a shocking news to him! However, it is pointless to indulge oneself in despair. Right now, he can only consider the problem at present, panic will surely ensue on this Dragon Island. If they were given a push by some people who use their heads, the next few days will be an incomparably dangerous period!

Xiao Chen confined himself in between a rocky precipice, he must not get caught up in the starting point of this dark period. The most important task at the moment is to stay alive.

As a matter of fact, in the next three days, everything was as Xiao Chen had expected. A bloody storm blew across the island, a cruel purge was conducted!

It was definitely not only one or two person pushing their back, there ought to be many people who add fuel to the fire. It caused the desperate people to feel apprehensive, the battle royal and slaughter caused many young experts to fall!

No matter where, there are always some schemers, this is the first purge on the Dragon Island. It is impossible to tell who was the driving force behind the scenes now, only after the island has calmed down would there be some clues.

In the following three days, many practitioners were on the verge of despair, they practically went crazy. Many of the female practitioners among them faced a disaster due to their charm. The beastly nature of the despaired crowd completely broke out, what they didn’t dare to do in the past, what else do they have to worry about now?

For a period of time, everyone committed a sin, the strong survives, the weak dies, that became the only truth on the Dragon Island. In merely three days, nearly half of the practitioners on the Dragon Island are dead, several hundreds of people had lost their life! The monsters fully enjoyed the meal.

This is an awful disaster, this is a big purge initiated by others!

In those incomparably dark, and chaotic three days, some truly terrifying experts also fell. They are the enemies of those driving force behind the scenes. Everything finally come to an end now.

After the cruel purge had come to a pass, the island gradually regained its former tranquility. Everyone was already on high alert, all of them started to think about their own survival in the future.

Originally, everyone who entered the Dragon Island was a representative for their own clan. It could be said that they should all be opposing each other, but forming an alliance now will become a trend! If they want to live on, they must come together, and expand their strength.

The treant’s valley is a good example, during the three days of purge, it is not that there are no people pushing them to go wipe out the treant’s valley, many people have a voracious desire for Zhao Lin Er’s peerless charm, some people went to attack in despair from time to time. However, only more corpses piled up in front of the treant’s valley, the besiegers suffered a disastrous death. They were unable to seize the treant’s valley, this make people notice the importance of forming an alliance. Only when they come together would they have the power to survive.

However, only the people inside the treant’s valley know, they were only able to preserve the treant’s valley by mere luck. Even though there were a few powerful treants who participated in the battle, they were still incapable of stopping the practitioners who attacked them crazily every now and then. If the terrifying youth did not come out from the depths of the treant’s valley in the most crucial moment, they would have lost the battle.

That youth was around two meter tall, he has a long dark green hair, his strength was practically as powerful as a fierce dragon. Most of the practitioners who rushed into the treant’s valley were finished off by him.

As soon as the battle in the treant’s valley concluded, Yaluo De and Chaos left immediately. It was because Yaluo De already know that he wouldn’t be able to subdue the treant in that valley. He set out with Chaos in order to form an alliance of their own.

Not long after the purge ended, a few dozen alliance appeared at once. Among them are the “Nature Alliance” set up by Yaluo De and Chaos, the “Dharma Alliance” set up Buddhist Yizhen and his senior apprentice, the “Undying Alliance” set up Yan Qing Cheng and Lande, the “Radiance Alliance” set up by Light Spell Master Schroder, the “Blue Rain Alliance” set up by female psychic Lanyu……

No matter what, the treant’s valley is still considered the first alliance, after the big purge, all the powerful experts formed their own alliance one after another, all in order to expand their strength. Forming an alliance already become a huge trend, only in this way will they have enough strength to survive.

Obviously, the founder of some alliance are those driving force behind the purge. They are now beginning to recruit soldiers to expand their forces.

In about two to three days, some alliance already recruited forty to fifty people. And right now, there are only six to seven hundred people on this Dragon Island. For an alliance to have a few dozens of people could already be considered very terrifying. If they keep this up, they will inevitably become the overlord of this Dragon Island.

There are no lack of schemers within the weaker alliance, and those practitioners who didn’t join an alliance, many people united together to spread the news, they do not want an overlord on this Dragon Island, they don’t want an emperor, they want freedom and equality!

To prevent a super-alliance from emerging, a harsh regulation had gradually been accepted by the majority. That is: One alliance can’t have more than ten people, otherwise all the other alliance will combine forces to eliminate that them.

Thereby suppressing the appearance of a powerful force.

This regulation is supported by the majority of the people, because they clearly know what does this imply. They were able to avoid a dreadful outcome. Otherwise, someone might become the “emperor” of this Dragon Island, someone might become the overlord, and many more people would be enslaved. They will have no choice but turn into an obedient pawn.

This is what the schemers didn’t foresee, all the people who entered the Dragon Island are elites, the schemers were only the first to rise in revolt. After the rest have calmed down, their wisdom are not much lower than them.

Chapter 50 – Sacred Light Seal the Island



This is a violent-colored young dragon, even though it is merely one meter long, it possesses a powerful draconic aura that caused those huge monsters in the mountain woods not dare to provoke it. This is a powerful pressure inherent in the king of the beasts.

Its appearance resembled the legendary Qilin, its body looked like both a deer and a horse, with wolf-like hoofs, and dragon scales. However, there are also some parts are obviously different from the legendary Qilin, it has a crocodile-shaped divine tail. Its entire body is flickering with bright violet radiance, the scales are densely packed together. Moreover, there are a pair of horns on top of its head, the violet-gold horns look exactly like antlers. Its head has a huge resemblance with the legendary Ancestral Dragon!

Moreover, judging from its imposing manner, it is essentially different from Qilin. Qilin is a legendary auspicious beast, but this violet-colored Syndicate Dragon King is brimming with a beast-like pressure. Even though it is very small, it gives people a really powerful oppressive feeling!

This Syndicate Dragon King was discovered by Yan Qing Cheng and Lande near the waterfall. They kept watching over that region, because they had already discovered a young dragon seemed to be roaming around that place very frequently. However, only today did they finally find the traces of the young dragon.

But the young violet Dragon King was too powerful! Its world-shaking draconic roar could produce a surge of sound wave that possess an unmatched killing power. It even caused all the leaves of the forest trees nearby to wither. Yan Qing Cheng and Lande had no choice but to retreat in the face of its sheer power.

Only from the power of the sound wave alone, it should be comparable to the sound technique of a Historia level expert!

The Ancestral Dragon and Syndicate Dragon King will undergo an evolution not long after they were born. After that, they will take the initiative to leave their mother’s side to begin their own unique evolution. Even though it is not under the protection of a fully grown dragon, Yan Qing Cheng and Lande discovered that they still have a hard time subduing this young dragon!

The power of the Syndicate Dragon King far exceeded their expectation!

According to legend, after the dragon race had been sealed on this uncivilized island, they will lose their divine power for life. However, it didn’t have any effect on this young Dragon King, it was actually capable of shooting a glaring violet divine radiance that turned the mountain in front of Yan Qing Cheng1⌋ and Lande into dust.

The young Dragon King was very sharp-witted and ran away immediately. Its entire body was covered in a violet divine flame, and disappeared in the woods like a streak of purple lightning. Its speed was really too fast, even when Lande was flying in the sky, he was not able to catch up.

The loud roar of the Syndicate Dragon King alarmed all the people on this Dragon Island. All the practitioners immediately rushed over to this place, but by the time they arrive, they can only find a few traces. The young Dragon King already disappeared from this place long ago.

This is the first Syndicate Dragon found on this Dragon Island, people addressed it as the Amethyst Dragon King.

In the next few days, majority of the practitioners gathered in this area to track down the whereabouts of the Amethyst Dragon King. Yan Qing Cheng felt a bit vexed, she never thought a young dragon would be so powerful, which caused them to let it get away regretfully.

Without a doubt, the appearance of the Amethyst Dragon King had an extremely huge influence on every practitioner here, everyone wanted to subdue it. If they can subdue it and raise it until adulthood, that will become a terrifying existence that even the deities doesn’t dare to provoke!

Even the alliance in the treant’s valley was no longer searching for Xiao Chen’s whereabouts. All of them were absorbed in seeking for clues regarding the Amethyst Dragon King. Subsequently, this dispelled any crisis Xiao Chen was about to face, the Imperial Angel Zhao Lin Er was also unable to keep them on track of finding Xiao Chen.

However, even after half a month had passed, nobody found a single trace of the young dragon, it was as if the Amethyst Dragon King had evaporated. They were unable to find any more traces, everyone couldn’t help but heave a sigh. The Amethyst Dragon King possessed high intelligence, as if it knew dangers were approaching, it successfully avoided everyone’s detection.

All the practitioners came up with one after another speculation, some thought it might be hiding in a dark cave, others thought it might have entered the depths of the Dragon Island. Because of this, some continued to search the outer region of the Dragon Island, and some who were willing to take the risks went to explore the depths of the Dragon Island.

During the search for the Amethyst Dragon King, it was also a battle royal. Due to this, many people lost their life!

After the appearance of the Amethyst Dragon King, twenty days had passed. A big event once more occurred on the Dragon Island! This time, it is truly terrifying, the fate of everyone had closely bound up by this.

Until today, a large number of practitioners had already gathered on the vast Dragon Island, all of them are powerful experts, there are no longer any ships coming to this island.

However, waves of terrifying divine radiance suddenly appeared above the Dragon Island today. In that instant, everyone was blinded by that brilliant light. The entire Dragon Island seemed like a resplendent divine pearl in the boundless ocean. It was incomparably dazzling, the bright glow rise straight into the heavens above.

On the Dragon Island, a great number of beasts and dragons roar simultaneously. As if the heaven had fallen and the earth was split apart, the entirety of the enormous Dragon Island was shaking wildly. It was just like the end of the world is approaching, all the practitioners were incomparably frightened, they didn’t know what is going on.Everyone were shaken to their core, they all had an incomparably terrified feeling.

The dazzling divine radiance lasted for a little more than an hour. After that, the radiance gradually become dimmer. The practitioners at the outer region of the island were shocked to discover the astonishing changes to the sea area around the Dragon Island. A glorious divine radiance appeared in the boundless ocean, a monstrous wave appeared on the originally tranquil ocean, it was as if the waves wanted to engulf the clouds on top of the sky.

Numerous practitioners could vaguely feel an incomparably terrifying energy surging up from the great waves.

Soon after, they saw a terrifying scene that confirmed the fear in their hearts. A big ship that came late was caught up in the ocean waves, and break up in a split second. As if it was a melting snowflake, the ship completely disappeared in the ocean waves!

The Taboo Ocean around the Dragon Island already reverted back to the impassable region. Nobody will be able to leave the island now! The seal restored ahead of time!

This is a huge event that exceeded everyone’s expectation!

According to the written records, after the Taboo Ocean open up in the past, it should at least take half a year before the seal was restored. However, the duration this time is too short, it’s not even two months yet!

After the practitioners at the outer region of the island saw the situation before them, all of them was about to fall apart! This means that they will never be able to leave this Dragon Island ever again. Their only option is to wait till the next cycle a few hundred years later. However, who is capable of living that long? This mysterious and terrifying Dragon Island suppressed the power of the deities, nobody can breakthrough the bounds of Immortalis on this island. Nobody can wait till the day when the seal open up again!

The majority of the people who came to this Dragon Island are young experts. They are the representatives of various powers in the mainland. All of them are heroes that were selected very carefully. In order to maintain a balance, a very few powerful experts from the previous generation will enter the Dragon Island, this is a form of equilibrium taken shape due to some kind of mutual understanding from the various powers.

Of course, even if they do not enter the Dragon Island, it doesn’t mean they will not make their move. The Dragon Island is located in the boundless ocean, it is very far away from the mainland, even if one successfully subdued a Syndicate Dragon King, leaving this sea area is also very dangerous. They might even be plundered along the way back to the mainland.

The previous generation experts from various clans were all waiting along the way to provide support. They are located thousands of miles away in the boundless sea, each at their own designated spot. There are even some demigod among them, that is an existence close to the venerable god!

The young experts on the island fell into despair, they will be trapped on this Dragon Island for all eternity. And just around this time, they saw another terrifying scene, in the boundless huge waves, a Fallen Angel was struggling to get free. However, in a very short period of time, her entire body fell apart, her body was twisted and crushed by the surging divine radiance.



 


  1. Silva: Haha… the author actually wrote “Zhao Lin Er” here. 

Chapter 49 – Setting the Valley on Fire



Only a valley that could produce the Sweet Dew of Life had enough capability to nurture these kind of spiritual beast such as the treant.

They cannot stay in this place for too long, Xiao Chen recalled that treant who is currently evolving not far from here. That is definitely an existence as powerful as a fierce dragon, he is not very far away from this place, maybe it was in order to protect this Sweet Dew of Life. However, he is not able to attend to this place due to the evolution.

Xiao Chen and the rest of them quickly withdraw from the depths of the valley, they carefully avoided the detection of two treants along the way. It seems like the little critter also know it should not startle those big fella. It remains especially quiet on the way back, it even relied on its instinct once to avoid a treant that had transformed into a tall ancient tree. If one is not careful under the dim light of night, it will be very hard to imagine that is transformed from a mobile green giant.

Including the currently evolving old treant, they have already discovered five treant in this valley. This is absolutely an extremely powerful force, especially when that old treant might possess an inconceivable level of strength.

Xiao Chen don’t believe Zhao Lin Er and the rest of them could drive that old treant who is currently undergoing an evolution into action. He who has already taken the form of mankind should possess wisdom incomparable from the other treants. Furthermore, he possessed strength beyond comparison, there is no way he could let other people order him around!

Since they already had a plan to find a place to hide and train after the uproar, Xiao Chen decided to make his move one last time before he leave. This can be considered a warning and his counterattack against all the people in the treant’s valley. Xiao Chen and the three skeletons transformed into four glints of light, they roamed around the surrounding of the treant’s valley to set up the fire all over the place.

Most of the vegetation on the Dragon Island are oily in nature. One they are ignited, they will immediately burst into a huge conflagration. Xiao Chen need a torch to ignite the forest, and the three skeletons possessed powerful Spiritual Power. Their spiritual light pulsated unceasingly, they send out their Netherworld Flames as they passed through the forest. In only a short period of time, the flame soared into the sky all around the treant’s valley. The raging flames cannot be stopped as they spread towards the interior of the valley.

Xiao Chen and the three skeletons didn’t dare to stay here for much longer, they immediately distanced themselves at lightning speed. It is impossible to return to the deathly swamp anymore. Moreover, it is also impossible to return to that direction. Xiao Chen and the three skeletons dash towards the West side of the Dragon Island as if they were flying. That is an unfamiliar region that they have never explored before.

Behind them, the flame soared into the sky, it is exceptionally dazzling this late at night. Half of the sky was heated until red, only after running for more than ten miles away did Xiao Chen and the three skeletons stopped their footsteps to turn around and watch. There are no people pursuing them, there are no other sounds other than the wailing of the beasts all around them.

The snow-white little critter also followed after them. When they were setting the forest on fire earlier, the little critter followed after them excitedly, then it escaped along with them in the end.

Standing on top of a mountain range, Xiao Chen looked at the crimson-colored valley. He could vaguely hear the clamor and chaos in that place, Xiao Chen can guess what kind of expression is on Zhao Lin Er’s face now. Even if they did not receive any damage, this can also be considered a big blow in regards to all the people in the valley. Their alliance had just been formed, and the treant’s valley had already been ignited by others on the very first day of their alliance. This is the contempt of the enemy, and their disgrace!

Xiao Chen didn’t stay behind to watch any longer, he pushed his way through the woods at lightning speed along with the three skeletons. They keep going westward while avoiding the monsters in the woods. Only after traveling for a few dozens of miles that very night did they finally stop. It should be mentioned that this Dragon Island is apparently very big. After traveling for dozens of miles, this area still belong to the outer part of the Dragon Island. This can be considered a really big island.

Let the others go crazy and massacre by themselves, Xiao Chen did not want to get caught up in the maelström of contest over a Syndicate Dragon King. He wanted to spend the rest of his time training in secret, waiting for someone to find the Syndicate Dragon King quietly, and then board the ship of those people to leave the Dragon Island. After that, he will finally enter the vast continent of the world of immortals.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps there really was a mysterious power at work here, after the conflagration burned the treant’s valley for an hour, and destroyed half of the valley, a black cloud suddenly covered the cloudless starry sky. A downpour fell at high-speed, extinguishing the raging flame soon after.

There is no casualty in the valley, but everyone had a really ugly expression on their face. It was very obvious that this conflagration was set up by someone. Zhao Lin Er stood on top of the treant’s shoulder, her entire body was surrounded by a glittering radiance that blocked the rainwater. The water vapour formed a thin layer of mist around her, which makes her seem like an illusion.

However, the mood of the Imperial Angel was not as ethereal as her fairy-like body. She felt extremely angry in her heart, she once thought it might be other people who attacked their alliance, but she ruled them out very fast. She discovered distinctive claw marks that belongs to the three skeletons. All of this was undoubtedly Xiao Chen’s doing.

This is indeed a tit for tat, she just recently gathered a formidable force, and Xiao Chen immediately sweep their face ruthlessly. This will no doubt make them an object of ridicule among the other practitioners on this island.

Among the crowds, Chaos let out a low beastly howl. Being forced to leave the treant’s valley by Xiao Chen in such a sorry figure, it makes him incomparably angry. His companion, Yaluo De, was very calm. He watched the three treants attentively from time to time. There were five treants in the valley, there were two in the depths of the valley that were not affected by the conflagration. The remaining three, only one of them sustained an injury on its left arm, the other two were in excellent shape. This is indeed a really powerful force, Yaluo De felt extremely moved.

The rests were also very angry, more than ten awe-inspiring experts were actually stuck in a dilemma due to one person setting the valley on fire.

Most of the practitioners at the outer region of the Dragon Island were startled. Some of them stood on top of the mountain range to survey the surrounding from an elevated position, some of them jumped on top of a lofty treetop to gaze afar, some Spell Master and Psychic even flew over there to watch in close distant.

Yan Qing Cheng stood on top of a precipice not far away, gazing at the glorious starlight far far away. When she noticed that the black clouds only covered the treant’s valley, it seems like she thought of something and said, “This power is originated from the Dragon Island!”

……

This is a very chaotic night.

The second day, the news regarding the conflagration at the treant’s valley caused a sensation as expected.

Xiao Chen, that name once more become the focal point of every practitioners. However, no one can find a single trace of him, it seems as if he disappeared from the Dragon Island. Many people guess he must have escaped into the depths of the Dragon Island.

However, the disturbance this time didn’t last for long, it was diluted by what was about to happen later. Three days after the event in the treant’s valley, a big event occurred on the Dragon Island. Somebody has found the Syndicate Dragon King!

“Roar……”

The sound of the dragon roar resonated in the earth and heaven, a great number of beasts were completely terrified. And the creature that produced the dragon roar was only a one meter long little dragon! The enormous sound wave produced by it was like a tempestuous storm, it even caused the mountain woods to sway violently. Judging by the power of its roar, it should be comparable to the Tyrannical Dragon and Eight-Clawed Tyrant Dragon!

Chapter 48 – Sweet Dew of Life



Now, Xiao Chen finally know how he could dig out the small sacred tree so smoothly. Surely it was because the little critter tossed it around at random, leaving the treasured tree behind at that place. And the three skeletons already knew about the existence of the sacred tree and the little critter at a much earlier time. Maybe because it tossed the sacred tree in the deathly swamp before.

Xiao Chen seriously wanted to hit its head strongly!

The little critter lazily reclined on top of the flowers and plants, it seemed to be reflecting on the aftertaste of the delicacy. It actually smacked its lips with an “onom-onom” sound.

Xiao Chen prepared himself to set this place on fire in a moment, but just around this time, the little critter seemed like it had enough rest, it actually rolled over to Xiao Chen’s side with a “Guruguru!” sound. The little critter pulled the corner of the lower hem of his shirt to hint Xiao Chen to follow it. Recalling that the small sacred tree is still within the valley, Xiao Chen didn’t have the heart to let it be destroyed in the conflagration. Thus, he followed after the little critter, at the same time he also wanted to see just what did the little critter ate earlier.

The three skeletons were raising the back of their heels and walked lightly like a thief. However, with three skeletons walking in such a way, it is actually somewhat amusing.

They clung to a forest tree and climbed down along the valley wall. After entering the valley, the little critter leads them to turn left and right, getting further and further away from the area that was once flickering with flame. After that, they narrowly avoided detection from two treants. The little critter bring them to the depths of the valley.

In the depths of the valley, the forest trees are very scarce, each ancient tree require at least more than ten people to wrap their arms around it. They looked like huge umbrellas, some of the ancient trees have a great number of branches, and luxuriant leaves. The crown of a single tree can occupy up to almost one square kilometer, it can be said to be an extremely flourishing forest.

After advancing for roughly several miles, they finally arrived at the deepest part of the valley.

There are specks of radiance flickering in front of them, it appears a little strange in this quiet valley. After they looked at the light source clearly, Xiao Chen and the three skeletons stopped their footsteps in shock.

A bluish-green giant, flickering with specks of green radiance, seemed to be suffering from intense pain. It stood there with a crooked body, it is much taller compared to the other three treants before. Its height is no less than twenty meter tall, this is an old treant. The wrinkles are piled up on its face, the long green whiskers hanged down until its chest.

What makes Xiao Chen and the rest startled the most was not the especially lofty old treant. But rather the small crack on the treant’s chest, there is a two meter tall naked man inside the crack struggling to get out!

The man has a corporeal body, he doesn’t look that much different from any normal human kind. However, even though he looks like a youth, he has the same appearance as that of the treant. Moreover, once you look at him carefully, a faint green radiance is circulating around his body. ⌈1

Xiao Chen was incomparably shocked, the man seemed to be trying hard to evolve from the old treant!

As the man struggled to get out from the crack a little by little, the twenty meter tall old treant slowly started to wither. Its vitality diminished quickly, and the specks of radiance constantly gathered around the naked man.

An alternative evolution! Xiao Chen was shocked to the extreme.

The millennium ancient tree can evolve into treant, and the treant can completely transform into human!

He felt a really powerful energy fluctuation from the body of the naked man, it doesn’t feel any inferior to a vicious dragon! The evolving process of the man seemed to be exceptionally painful. Who knows how long this process had persisted, only half of his body had undergo transformation.

The snow-white little critter blinked its big eyes, and pulled Xiao Chen’s trouser to indicate him to continue moving forward. However, they steadily distanced themselves from the currently evolving treant.

After bypassing the old treant, only a few hundred meter away, an area filled with the fragrant of flowers and plants appeared in front of them. All of the flowers and plants are brimming with spiritual aura. The divine radiance located at the center of the area is even more brilliant, it is especially gorgeous under the dim light of night.

Right in the center of the flowers and plants, there is a half square foot tiny puddle. The bright radiance is precisely emitted from that place, there is an endless amount of life aura circulating around the little puddle. And the little critter’s treasured tree is rooted right in the center of that little puddle. The seven-colored radiance is extremely dense, the entire tree is very dazzling, and the liquid in the small puddle is almost dried up.

Xiao Chen was dumbstruck, even though he never heard of the treants in the human world, he had heard of the sparkling clear liquid in the little puddle. That seemed like…… the Sweet Dew of Life!

That is the crystallization of nature. According to legend, only an incomparably vast ancient forest can produce a few drops over the countless years. This thing has the effect of bringing the death back to life, but ordinary people can never hope to find it. This is a genuine Sweet Dew of Life.

And this place…… actually had a half square foot worth of dew!

However, no matter how startled Xiao Chen felt, it is already too late. Most of the Sweet Dew of Life had already entered the plump little belly of the little critter. And the remaining dew had been absorbed by the sacred tree, it is truly regretful. This little critter is really too miraculous, it is actually able to find the sweet dew.

An astonishing transformation had already occurred to the palm sized sapling. That sparkling clear white jade leaf already completely grow up, it is now as big as the black jade leaf. Moreover, it sprouted another piece of jasper-like leaf, a glorious green radiance roam around the sapling.

In contrast to discovering the Sweet Dew of Life, Xiao Chen is more surprised at the state of the little critter and the treasured tree. Who knows how much sweet dew was drank by the little critter, even though its little belly is as round as a ball now ⌈2⌋, it didn’t undergo any transformation. This is really too startling, even if a huge dragon drink this much Sweet Dew of Life, it should at least have some bizarre transformation.

This little critter is too mysterious!

And even after the sapling absorbed the other half Sweet Dew of Life, it was only enough for it to grow a piece of new leaf. This is also a very startling situation, could it be that one piece of new leaf is even more dominant compared to a half puddle of dew?

All humans are selfish creatures, Xiao Chen is not a saint either, he decided to use any means to keep the little critter and the treasured tree by his side. This little critter is too inconceivable.

The snow-white little critter pulled up the treasured tree, and placed the tree on top of its head without a care in the world.

“Crash!”

After the sapling was pulled up, a noise was transmitted from the dried up tiny pond. Three sparkling clear crystal appeared in the pond. The little critter grabbed the crystals suspiciously, then it throw one of them into its mouth as if it was a candy and chew it with crackling sounds. After breaking it down into small pieces, the little critter swallowed it. Using that opportunity, it passed one of the remaining crystals to Xiao Chen.

All of this happened too quick, Xiao Chen didn’t had the chance to stop the little critter. He didn’t expect there would be a crystallization of the sweet dew in the puddle. The little critter is wasting the natural resources way too recklessly. Just a moment ago, it drank a bellyful of the Sweet Dew of Life, now it even swallowed the crystal whole!

Such a waste! It is such a waste! ⌈3

Apparently, it doesn’t taste so good, so the little critter tossed the last remaining crystal to Qinguang Wang. This kind of carefree action is seriously driving Xiao Chen mad, could it be that this little critter grew up from the divine spring? ⌈4⌋ Xiao Chen was completely speechless!



 


  1. Silva: Gasp! The treant is reborn!

  3. Silva: This little critter needs discipline!

Chapter 47 – Chance Upon an Irresponsible Beast



“Hehe!” On the whole journey, the little critter giggled unceasingly, it was very unusual. Its laughing sound is almost the same as an infant. The little critter was in high spirit during the whole journey, it brimmed with curiosity regarding everything. Apparently, the little critter never entered this region before. When they encountered a large monster every once in a while, the little critter was not scared in the slightest. The little critter even tried to approach them several times, but it was stopped by Xiao Chen.

They arrived at the treant’s valley again, but this time they didn’t proceed towards the valley entrance. Xiao Chen and the three skeletons climbed up the precipitous valley wall, and look towards the wide valley underneath.

The inside of the valley is emerald-green, full of vitality, and possesses a large amount of rarely seen vegetation. The fragrance of flowers are wafting in the air, the bundles of flowers are swaying with the wind, creating stunning ripple like the waves. In addition to the spellbinding waterfalls, the scenery in this valley is exceptionally stunning. Only this kind of spiritual land could produce countless of ancient trees, and gave birth to the treants.

It is really such a pity to set this place of fire, but Xiao Chen also didn’t have a better idea.

And just around this time, Xiao Chen discovered a few practitioners are roaming around the vicinity of the valley. It seems like he is not the only one observing the treants valley, the reason he came here was due to his enmity against Zhao Lin Er. However, the other practitioners came here in hope of getting close to Zhao Lin Er, seeking for her beauty and the few powerful treants behind her. This make Xiao Chen felt a little troublesome.

One can see a treant guarding the entrance, the other two fellas are walking around in the valley. A faint green radiance circulated around their huge bluish-green figures. They appeared very mystical and incomparably powerful, those practitioners who were peeping into the valley didn’t dare to rashly approach. Each and every one of them calmly wait for a chance outside of the valley.

Just when Xiao Chen was in deep thoughts, there was a movement near the entrance of the valley. The peerless Zhao Lin Er made her appearance, she calmly stood on the shoulder of one treant, and put up a banner made out of animal skin in front of the entrance.

The banner is very eye-catching, she used the blood of the beasts to write a few big letters: If you wish to form an alliance with the treants, you must bring me the head of this person to show your sincerity. ⌈1

The image of Xiao Chen is portrayed below the bloody letters, Zhao Lin Er is very skillful with her hands, the image of Xiao Chen is imitated to perfection.

Immediately, seven to eight practitioners revealed themselves, and gathered together in front of the entrance. Xiao Chen is not very far away from there, he is able to see everything clearly. It is hard for him remain calm in a situation like this, this move of Zhao Lin Er is way too brutal.

The peerless beauty of the Imperial Angel, plus the formidable strength of the treants, are indeed very enticing! Regardless of whether they are after her beauty, or want to subdue the treants, they will all gather around her. Naturally, in regards to Xiao Chen, this move might turn into his worst nightmare. His life will be put on the line!

One can easily imagine just how much power will Zhao Lin Er be able to gather. This will be the first alliance to be formed on this Dragon Island, Xiao Chen never thought Zhao Lin Er would come up with this kind of strategy. No wonder she looked like she already had victory within her grasp. No wonder she didn’t impatiently leads the treants to pursue and eliminate him immediately.

Xiao Chen could feel a great danger approaching, he lie on top of the valley wall quietly to observe the development, he did not even move an inch away from that spot.

All the practitioners around this area were alarmed, when the treants made an appearance for the first time yesterday, this area has become the focal point of many practitioners. Now, after Zhao Lin Er put up the blood-colored banner to attract people’s attention, many practitioners responded instantly.

Merely half a day later, thirteen people already joined the treant’s valley. Among them are Spell Masters, Psychics, and Martial Artists, all of them were in teams of two or three. All of them had the capability to survive by themselves, after combining their strength together, one can say they have suddenly become an incomparably powerful force!

Right now, the first alliance in the Dragon Island had just been formed in the treant’s valley. Their most important task is not to seek for the Ancestral Dragon, nor the Syndicate Dragon King, but to exterminate Xiao Chen.

An alliance formed by experts could be considered a major event. Due to that, the information spread around at high-speed. Xiao Chen’s name was exposed to numerous experts for the first time. In only half a day, his name has been spread all over the surrounding of the Dragon Island. He could already be considered a “celebrity” now.

Until the afternoon, no one else joined the treant’s valley. Most of the practitioners concealed themselves in the dark to wait and observe the development. Lasting until the dusk, two more people joined them, they were actually Yaluo De and Chaos.

The strength of the treant’s valley undoubtedly increased tremendously. Xiao Chen felt the pressure and danger became increasingly heavy.

On a mountain range far far away, the exceptionally beautiful Yan Qing Cheng saw Yaluo De and Chaos entered the treant’s valley, she started, “Yaluo De wanted to subdue the treant.”

The golden-haired pretty boy, Lande, nodded his head and say, “He finally make his moves, but whether the natural spirit power he developed himself is sufficient or not is hard to say. Otherwise it will be as futile as drawing water with wicker basket. ⌈2⌋”

“This Xiao Chen is in for a trouble……”

“How about we make our moves and present our sincerity to them?”

……

Xiao Chen had already hid himself on top of the valley wall for an entire day. He watched everything that is taking place calmly, the three skeletons were also motionless, it seemed like they were refining their spiritual light. As for the snow-white little critter, it was blinking its glittering big eyes in the beginning, sizing up everything curiously. In the end, seeing that Xiao Chen and the rest remained motionless, it gradually started to lose interest. It actually curled into a ball and fell into a deep sleep beside Xiao Chen. ⌈3

After sleeping for half a day, when the afterglow dyed the horizon red on that evening, the little critter finally opened its big eyes. Rubbing its little belly that is making a grumbling sound, the little critter faced Xiao Chen and let out a few squeaks. Seeing that Xiao Chen remained motionless, the little critter resentfully groaned a few times. With the treasured tree that has lost its luster on its head, the little critter turned into a glint of white light as it entered the treant’s valley.

As if the three skeletons had just come to life, they recovered from the deathly stillness state, and exercised their joints actively.

Xiao Chen is still waiting, waiting for the late night to approach.

The moon rose to the sky, the stars emerged, the nocturnal birds hooted, and the bonfire flickered in the valley. Zhao Lin Er is together with few of the treants, the dozens of practitioners split into several groups, and encircled the bonfire to discuss a few matters.

Only until very late at night did the speck of flame extinguish. With so many practitioners gathered together, they are not afraid of anyone mounting a sneak attack on them.

Xiao Chen waited for another half an hour, he is finally about to move into action. He knew even if this valley turned into a sea of fire, it will be ineffective against most of the practitioners. It is not necessarily effective against the treants either. He decided to retreat immediately after making his moves, then seeking a hiding place to continue his training. This time can be considered some kind of warning. Even if he cannot defeat them, at the very least, he wanted to put his opponent in a difficult situation.

And just when Xiao Chen was about to make his move, the little critter finally returned. Who knows what the little critter just ate, its little belly is so plump that it can’t even walk steadily.

“Urp……” The little critter is actually burping, its mouth is actually glittering bright. There is a hint of something that resembles fairy dew hanging on its mouth, those crystal clear liquid droplet actually possessed a hint of splendid radiance.

Xiao Chen was gobsmacked, this snow-white little critter is too miraculous, could it be that it found a spiritual spring or fairy extract? The liquid hanging on its mouth is flickering with splendor, it is definitely not an ordinary item!

“What did you eat?” Xiao Chen looked at the little critter with amazement. The three skeletons also surrounded the little critter.

The little critter looked extremely satisfied, it rubbed its plump little belly, and expressed its satisfaction with a humming sound.

“Eh, where is your treasured tree?” Xiao Chen was shocked to find that the sapling is gone.

The little critter reclined on the flowers and plants comfortably, using its little paw to point at the valley. Hinting that it left the treasured tree in that place.

Xiao Chen was completely speechless, this little critter is too thoughtless 4⌋. It completely neglected the treasured tree, discarding this kind of divine sproutling as it pleased. If the treasured tree has a soul, it will definitely complain about meeting such an irresponsible beast.



 


  1. Silva: Oh for the mother of lord, no!!! 
  2.  What is a wicket basket you ask? CLICK HERE! 
  3. Silva: Aw… this little critter is just too cute, it completely make me forget about Zhao Lin Er… 
  4. Although it is translated as “thoughtless”, the Chinese characters are “大條”, which literally means “poop”. XD
    Selutu: It can mean 2 things, either “consider everyone else beneath oneself”, or just doing things without thinking. In this case, I would assume the latter would be more fitting. 

Chapter 46 – The Sacred Tree’s Master



A divine ability that shocks the world!

This little critter mastered a bizarre divine ability, this is really incomparably astounding. Xiao Chen was being thrown up and down, one moment to the east, the next moment to the west. He was actually being treated as a toy by this little critter.

“Hehe……” The snow-white pompom actually let out a laughter similar to that of a human child. Its pair of bright big eyes were blinking unceasingly.

Goodness gracious!

Xiao Chen had a feeling as if he wanted to cough up blood, just what kind of situation is this! He felt somewhat preposterous, this is his first time seeing this kind of strange spiritual beast. His ability can already be considered outstanding, even Chaos was unable to stand up against him. However, he felt completely helpless against the little critter below him.

That little critter knows some strange confinement method, it doesn’t appear to be some effective killing technique. However, it is enough to keep itself safe from the prosecutor. Xiao Chen is trapped within a ball of white radiance, it is absolutely impossible to break out. He was being flung left and right by the little critter.

It really gives people the impulse to cough up blood!

“Squeak! Squeak……!”

When Xiao Chen looked down, he saw the snow-white little critter grabbed the Mongolian gazelle’s leg he roasted, and is currently eating it with gusto. At the same time, its big black eyes looked at Xiao Chen from time to time, and reinforced the confinement technique continuously. It didn’t want to let Xiao Chen get down no matter what, this is somehow driving Xiao Chen mad.

Not far away, the three skeletons carefully attached the bones that were torn apart by the little critter back to their original position. After that, they looked at Xiao Chen who was being thrown up and down in the sky. The three skeletons were very unfaithful, they escaped without a trace like the thieves.

“Squeak! Squeak……!” The snow-white little critter burst into a fit of rage, the three skeletons were incomparably unnerved, they slowly turned around.

Perhaps the little critter never ate food that was sprinkled with sea salt before, more than half of the glossy goat leg were eaten by that little critter. Its small belly is as round as a ball, it is lying down on the ground, and is having a hard time moving, however it is perfectly contended. It blinked its big eyes, and released Xiao Chen from the midair. ⌈1

Xiao Chen was tossed from side to side for half an hour, his spirit and strength were completely exhausted. In the end, he actually didn’t manage to break out from the ball of white radiance, it was the little critter who released him. This kind of confinement technique is really too powerful.

Without waiting for Xiao Chen to adjust himself, the snow-white little critter actually held on to the small sacred tree, and slept soundly.

Seeing Xiao Chen walked over, the three skeletons gestured with their six bony claws, the jaws also moved up and down repeatedly to generate, “Clack! Clack!” sound. Apparently, they are trying to explain something, it seemed like they wanted to say that it is not their fault for being unfaithful.

“What is going on with this little critter?”

“Clack! Clack……!”

“Is the little critter related to the small sacred tree?”

“Clack! Clack……!”

“Are you guys saying, this little critter is the original master of the small sacred tree?”

“Clack! Clack……!” The three skeletons nodded their heads vigorously.

Merely this information is sufficient to explain everything, so it was actually the real master who came to their door. However, this snow-white little critter is really somewhat terrifying. It seemed harmless at first, but it actually possessed a terrifying confinement technique. Who knows whether it is in possession of other divine ability or not.

Night time, the flame throbbed in the woods, that snow-white little critter embraced the small sacred tree that rooted itself on an ancient tree tightly. It is fast asleep and smacked its lips from time to time, it was just like an adorable little baby.

What kind of intellectual beast is this? It actually possessed an extraordinary divine ability, if it is not covered in fur all over its body, Xiao Chen might really mistook it for a Syndicate Dragon King.

Recalling the day when he dig out the divine sproutling, the Sacred Dragon was disturbed and unsettled, it roared unceasingly. Even though he didn’t see what was going on specifically, he could assume that this snow-white little critter was tormenting the dragon. From that one can imagine just how extraordinary is this little critter! Just that we do not know how does it compare to those Syndicate Dragon King.

Even though he can’t bear being tossed from side to side by the little critter, it didn’t harm him at all. Moreover, it was them who stole the little critter’s treasure tree in the first place, Xiao Chen didn’t have any resentment, nor murderous intent in his heart.

Against his enemy, he can be cruel and unfeeling, but it is impossible for him to attack that defenseless little critter that is sleeping so peacefully like an infant.

Xiao Chen is not an inflexible guy, he isn’t like those gentleman who wouldn’t do anything when a beautiful women is in his embrace, he is an ordinary man. Power, beauty, and treasure…… he is equally enticed by these humanly desires. However, he has his own standard, he can tell what is right and what is wrong, there is no such thing as absolute justice nor evil, as long as he has this kind of mindset, he feel that he can still be considered a “good person”.

Early morning, the snow-white little critter opened its big glittering eyes. When it smelled the aroma of the roasted meat, its little belly makes a grumbling sound. It got up quickly while embracing the treasured tree. With a swish sound, it sat beside Xiao Chen, and impatiently gaze at the golden-colored deer meat. ⌈2

When Xiao Chen passed the tasty deer meat to the little critter, it exerted itself physically to open and close its little nose. After that, it cheerfully received the deer meat. During the time that the little critter was eating the meat, Xiao Chen discovered that the stolons of the small sacred tree was exposed to air for a long period of time. Due to that, the seven-colored radiance gradually dimmed. In the end, the luster was actually gone, it seemed like nothing more than a common sapling now.

Regardless of whether the little critter can understand him or not, Xiao Chen spoke in an organized language. He said everything he wanted to say to the little critter. As a result, the little critter curiously looked at him up and down. After that, it stamped on the sapling and tried to tear it apart in the face of Xiao Chen. Then it embraced the sapling, and as if it was presenting a treasure, it lifted the sapling to let Xiao Chen see.

Xiao Chen was seriously scared out of his wits, this little critter is seriously treating this treasured tree too roughly, it is such a waste of natural resources! However, beyond his expectation, the treasured tree did not get damaged in the slightest amount. No matter if it is the tree trunk, the leaves, or the stolen, they all appeared exceptionally tough and durable, it is incomparably miraculous.

The little critter seemed to understand what Xiao Chen was thinking, so it trampled on the small sacred tree to demonstrate to him. After that it planted the sapling near the stolons of one ancient tree. Very soon, the small sacred tree once again let off a dazzling multi-colored radiance.

Xiao Chen finally understand, this is tree is really a treasure, its vitality is incomparably tenacious. It is unnecessary to worry about damaging it, he also attempted to pull one of the stolons, increasing his strength over time. In the end, he discovered that it was impossible to pull it apart, this sapling is as tough and durable as adamantine.

No wonder the little critter was not very anxious about the sacred tree, no wonder it threw away the sacred tree after using it up. So it turns out the vitality of the sapling is actually very tenacious.

After welcoming the morning radiance, Xiao Chen and the three skeletons begin their journey. The little critter grabbed its own treasured tree, and it is reluctant to wave its paw to bid them farewell. It is very humane, it seemed to have a bit of favorable impression regarding these few robbers.

Xiao Chen’s wounded body is almost fully recovered, he decided to go to the treant’s valley and dispose of them ruthlessly. Even though those few treants are super strong, they are still transformed from ancient trees. If he set the valley on a merciless conflagration, he don’t believe the treants wouldn’t be afraid of the sea of flames.

When confronting his enemies, his killing method is very ruthless, he will not be merciful.

Along the sides of the road, he discovered the tracks of many practitioners. The dragons and snakes have mingled ⌈3⌋ together on this island now, the situation is getting more and more complicated.

Xiao Chen already found the corpses of some practitioners in several places. Some of them didn’t turn cold yet, the watery blood dyed the woodland red. Entering the Dragon Island is equivalent to participating in a life and death game.

A demigod expert already carried the name of “god”, from the behavior of the Fallen Angel last time, she seemed to be avoiding the Dragon Island. After she forced the Sacred Dragon into the Dragon Island, she left at lightning speed. The Dragon Island sealed by a bizarre power seemed to possess a great influence on those demigod level expert, it make them no dare to approach.

Then what about the Historia level expert? He might encounter one sooner or later. Xiao Chen decided to keep away from the other practitioners on the Dragon Island, so as to avoid needless clash and dangers.

During the time they are advancing, Xiao Chen could feel someone following them from beginning to end. After he used the secret technique to scare away a Spell Master that is flying low in the sky, he still felt the presence of someone behind them. Until he suddenly dashed backwards for the Nth times, he finally found out who were trailing them. It was actually that little critter that resembles a snow-white pompom.

The little critter’s appearance was a little bit funny, it actually treated the sacred tree as a hat and wear it. The stolons twisted around both of its ears, without any radiance circulating around the sproutling, it seemed like an ordinary plant. People wouldn’t even be able to see anything miraculous about this sproutling. The little critter blinked its pair of big eyes, looking at Xiao Chen face to face. The little critter is brimming with intelligence.

So it was this little critter, Xiao Chen only laughed, and then continued their journey. The little critter is no longer concealing itself, it follow after them brazenly. In the end, it jumped on top of Lunhui Wang’s head, and crouched on top of its head. This caused Lunhui Wang to turn blue in the face.

[Vol 1] Chapter 15 – The Monster in the Sealed Room



The scorpion’s first move was spraying a purple liquid from the stinger on its tail. It came flying at a considerable speed, but Hajime immediately dodged by jumping back. The floor where the purple liquid landed on emitted a sizzling sound and melted in the blink of an eye. It appears to be a solvent.

While confirming with a side glance, Hajime drew Donner and fired.

Dopan~!

Maximum Power. Bullets with speed of 3.9 kilometer per second burst on the head of the scorpion monster.

Yue’s shock was transmitted through Hajime’s back. A never before seen weapon, releasing a flash-like attack without any signs of magic ⌈1⌋. Although the right hand looked somewhat wrapped in electricity, there wasn’t any use of magic circles or chanting. Yue noticed that, in other words, Hajime is similar to herself, possessing a way of directly manipulating magic.

“Similar” to herself, then, why was he in the abyss. Yue knew that it wasn’t the appropriate situation, but she kept her attention on Hajime instead of the scorpion.

On the other hand, Hajime repeatedly leapt using 【Aerodynamic】without rest, his expression unprecedentedly grim. Hajime realized what the unmoving scorpion was doing through 【Presence Perception】 and 【Magic Perception】. As if to prove that point, the scorpion aimed its other tail stinger at Hajime. Then, the pointed end of the tail seemed to bulge momentarily before the stinger was shot out at a terrific speed. Hajime tried to avoid it, but midway, the stinger exploded into a wide area buckshot attack.

“Ku!”

While giving a bitter groan, Hajime shot with Donner, swept with 【Grand Kick】, and hacked with 【Air Claw】. Finally tiding over it, as if returning the favour, he fired Donner. Immediately after that, he tossed Donner into the air and while it was falling, he took out a grenade from his pouch and threw it at the scorpion.

The scorpion endured another hit from Donner, and was about to release even more buckshot stingers and acid. However, before that could happen, a grenade eight centimeter in diameter tumbled over and exploded. As the grenade exploded, it scattered burning black slush which stuck onto the scorpion.

This was the so-called 【Incendiary Grenade】. Using the Flame Ore he has obtained at the Tar Level, it could spread three thousand degree celsius of “clinging flames” ⌈2⌋.

As expected, it appears to be effective in disrupting the scorpion’s attack as it rampaged, trying to tear off the clinging blaze. Sensing this opportunity, Hajime landed on the ground, having already caught Donner and quickly reloaded.

By the time that was done, the tar from the 【Incendiary Grenade】 has burnt out and the flame was just about to extinguish. However, despite having smoke billowing everywhere and appearing to have taken damage, the scorpion’s intense fury was clearly transmitted ⌈3⌋.

“Kishaaaaaaaa~!!!”

Raising a shriek, the scorpion suddenly started moving its eight legs, charging towards Hajime and Yue. With a howl of the wind, all of a sudden, its four huge pincers extended like cannons as they approached Hajime.

The first was dodged with 【Ground Shrink】, the second was avoided by jumping with 【Aerodynamic】. Using 【Grand Kick】 to kick away the third destroyed Hajime’s stance and the fourth pincer struck. But Hajime shot Donner at once, and using the force from the discharge, he blew himself away while twisting his body, somehow managing a successful evasion. Yue, who was on his back, let out a groan, “Uuu”. However, she somehow withstood the violent movements.

While in the air, Hajime leapt and landed on the scorpion’s back. Then, as he was maintaining his balance on the raging scorpion, he pressed the muzzle against the shell, and with a Click, Donner released a point-blank shot. ⌈4

Zugan~!!

A tremendous explosive noise resounded, and the scorpion’s body was slammed into the ground from the impact. However, even receiving a direct hit on its shell was unable to damage it, and seemed to barely scratch it ⌈5⌋. As he gnashed his teeth at the fact that he was unable to deal any damage, Hajime brandished Donner, invoking 【Air Claw】. Kaching, along with a sound of striking metal, he was still unable to break through his enemy’s shell.

As if to say “That’s enough!”, the scorpion aimed and fired buckshot stingers towards its own back.

Hajime swiftly jumped away from that spot and twisted his body in the air as he fired towards the origin of the buckshot stingers. The high speed bullets accurately struck the end of the front end section of the tail and was grandly repelled…… the tail which was covered with a hard shell appears to receive zero damage. The firepower was completely lacking.

Once again, like a tempest, the four giant pincers assaulted the midair Hajime in succession. In desperation, Hajime threw an 【Incendiary Grenade】 on the scorpion’s back and took a huge leap back. The scattered tar from the explosion seemed like nothing more than a stalling attack.

Thinking about “What to do” the instant after he evaded the scorpion, the scorpion let out an unprecedented shriek. ⌈6

“Kyi~i~iii~!!”

Hearing that cry sent chills running across the entire body and made Hajime want to take distance with 【Ground Shrink】 instantly…… but, it was already too late. As the shriek echoed across the room, suddenly, the surrounding ground heaved and with a resounding roar, countless conical needles protruded from the ground.

“Son of a ——!!” ⌈7

He was completely caught by surprise ⌈8⌋. Hajime was planning on desperately escaping into the air, but upon noticing the approaching conical needles from behind, he twisted his body to cover for Yue, causing his posture to be broken. Though he managed to somehow parry with Donner and 【Grand Kick】, on the edge of his vision, Hajime saw the buckshot stinger and solvent-releasing tail aimed squarely at him.

Hajime’s face stiffened. The next moment, the buckshot stinger and the solvent were fired from both its tails to shoot down the aerial target. Hajime steeled his resolution, in such a situation, it was impossible for him to dodge both attacks. Clenching his teeth, he avoided the solvent with 【Aerodynamic】, and crossed his left arm which was only up to its elbow and his right arm to protect his vitals as best as he could. Furthermore, Donner’s gun barrel was also used to shield his face, and then, he used direct manipulation of magic power to strengthen his body muscles to their limits. Immediately after which, along with an immense force, several tens of sharp needles pierced deeply into Hajime’s body.

“Ga~a~aaa!!!”

Raising a scream, he somehow barely avoided a fatal wound. As he had used his own body to stop the needles, Yue who was on his back, was uninjured.

Hajime was blown away by the impact. The immense pain from the strike and being further thrown onto ground caused him to simply tumble along. Yue was also thrown from his back from the impact.

While gritting his teeth and enduring the pain from the countless needles stabbed in his body, Hajime took out a 【Flash Grenade】 from his pouch and threw it at the scorpion. The 【Flash Grenade】 flew in a parabola, releasing an intense flash before the scorpion’s eyes.

“Kyisha~a~aaa!!”

The scorpion cried and instinctively stepped back due to the sudden flash. From the start, it seemed to be mostly relying on sight to observe Hajime’s movements, so he went and followed through with the throw, and apparently, his guess wasn’t wrong. ⌈9

Hajime bit into and drank the Sacred Water fitted behind his molars as he pulled out all the needles in one go.

“Gu~u~u!!”

Groans due to the residual pain escaped from the gaps between his clenched teeth. However, it wasn’t to an unbearable extent. Hajime could endure manyfold this pain, a pain of simply this degree was completely insufficient to break his spirit.

While removing the needles, Hajime was looking around, searching for Yue, but before he could find her, Yue was quicker, and has already came over to his side.

“Hajime!”

Yue rushed up to Hajime anxiously. Her expressionless face has crumbled and was on the verge of tears.

“It’s all right. More importantly, isn’t that guy too hard? I can’t seem to find an appropriate method. I would have to go pass the four pincers’ obstruction to aim at its eyes or mouth…… Should I resign myself to getting damaged and go for the suicide attack?

Hajime pondered over he should deal with the scorpion, oblivious of Yue’s worries. Seeing such a Hajime caused Yue’s tears to begin falling.

“…… Why?”

“Ah?”

“Why didn’t you run away?”

Yue’s appeal implied that she understood the possibility that ‘He might be able to escape alone’. Hajime sent a shocked look towards those words.

“What are you saying at this point in time. I haven’t fallen far enough that I would abandon you just because a slightly stronger enemy appears.”

In order to survive, Hajime has sneak attacked, ambushed, tricked, and even used cowardly lies or bluffs. The fight against the Talon Bear was the only exception, but fundamentally, he doesn’t give a **** about things like fair and square ⌈10⌋. It wasn’t a generous place that would allow such leeway. He has no feelings of guilt, he has been changed by such an atmosphere.

Nonetheless, he didn’t feel like willingly falling into heterodoxy. To determine right from wrong with virtue, and obtain understanding. The one who made him remember and regain all these, was none other than Yue. That’s why, Yue must definitely be saved, abandoning her here wasn’t an option. The instant she entrusted herself to Hajime, he has made his decision and this moment, was also the turning point of whether Hajime fell into unorthodoxy.

Yue nodded as though she understood something from Hajime’s words and suddenly threw her arms around Hajime.

“Oh, Ouh? What is it?”

With the situation as it is, what are you doing all of a sudden? Hajime was somewhat shaken. The scorpion could be coming back at any moment now. Hajime’s wounds were healed, he should enter combat mode soon. However, Yue doesn’t seem to care as her hands wrapped around Hajime’s neck.

“Hajime…… Trust me.”

Saying that, Yue kissed the scruff of Hajime’s neck.

“——!?”

No, it’s not a kiss. It’s a bite. Hajime felt a prickling pain at the back of his neck, and then, there was an uncomfortable feeling as if energy was drained from his body. For an instant, Hajime wanted to shake her off, but recalling that Yue had called herself a vampire, he realized that she was sucking blood. “Trust me”————Those words, seemed to wish that he would not run away even if he was scared or disgusted by the act of a vampire’s blood sucking.

Thinking that while giving a wry smile, Hajime tightly hugged and supported Yue’s clinging body. Twitch, Yue quavered for a moment before she embraced even tighter with a squeeze. Her face was buried deeper into the back of his neck. It may be just an imagination, but she somehow seem really delighted.

“Kyisha~aaaa!!”

The roar of the scorpion resounded. It appears to have recovered from the shock of the Flash Grenade. It probably grasped their current location, as the ground began to heave once again. It seems to be the scorpion’s Unique Magic, the ability to manipulate the surrounding terrain.

“But, that’s my specialty!”

Hajime placed his right hand on the ground to perform transmutation. The rippling within a three meter radius stopped, and instead a stone wall which enclosed around Hajime and Yue was formed.

The conical needles flew from all around to attack them, but they were completely prevented by Hajime’s defensive wall. Every strike was able to chip away at the wall, but new walls would be erected in place immediately, making the needles unable to get close. Both the scale and strength of the scorpion’s offensive power were by far superior, but Hajime holds the advantage in transmuting speed. His transmutation radius couldn’t go beyond three meter, and neither could he create needles with enough power to fly out and attack, thus Hajime’s type of transmutation was more suited for defense.

While Hajime was absorbed in transmuting defense, Yue’s mouth finally parted. Licking her lips, her expression seems to be in delirious passion. Coupled with that action, seductiveness could be felt despite her childish appearance. Somehow or another, not a speck of her previous emaciation could be felt, her white skin has recovered its tone and shine, similar to that of white porcelain. Her cheeks were a dream-like rose-color. Her red pupils were faintly giving off a warm light, and those small slender hands were gently caressing Hajime’s cheeks.

“…… Thanks for the meal. ⌈11⌋”

Saying that, Yue slowly rose and lifted an open hand toward the scorpion. At the same time, an enormous magic power that was unimaginable from such a delicate body was emitted, the light from her magic power —— a golden color that seems to mow down the darkness. And Yue, who was shrouded in magic power the same color as her fluttering golden hair, muttered a single phrase.

“【Azure Sky】”

Instantly, a sphere of bluish-white flames approximately six or seven meter in diameter appeared above the scorpion’s head. The attack obviously haven’t landed, but the strong heat was enough to make the scorpion shriek in retreat. However, the bloodsucking princess of the abyss would not allow that. Extending her lovely finger and waving it gracefully like a baton, the sphere of bluish-white flames faithfully executed the conductor’s instructions, pursuing the escaping scorpion and…… a direct hit.

“Gu~ugyiya~a~a~aaaa————!?”

The scorpion raised an unprecedented scream. It was obviously a scream of anguish. At the point of impact, the entire vicinity was covered in pale blue light and nothing could be seen. As Hajime shielded his eyes with his arm, he could only gaze dumbfoundedly at such a grand magic. Before long, the magic’s effective duration expired and the bluish-white flames were extinguished. What remained was the appearance of the scorpion suffering in agony, the red-hot shell on its back has been melted and was all gooey.

While Hajime was in a dilemma over whether he should be praising Yue’s magic — which destroyed the monster’s defense that even the three thousand degree celsius 【Incendiary Grenade】 couldn’t melt and his zero distance railgun shot barely scratched — or commending on the scorpion’s durability, which had directly received such a high temperature attack and merely had its surface melted.

A flop sound made Hajime peel away his vision from that astounding scene back towards Yue, who was sitting on the ground while panting. It looks like she has exhausted her magic power.

“Yue, are you alright?”

“Nn…… Highest tier…… Tiring”

“Haha, aren’t you impressive hm. We’re saved. Leave the rest to me and have a good rest.”

“Nn, good luck……”

Hajime waved his hand as he used 【Ground Shrink】 to shorten the distance in one go. The scorpion was still going strong, despite having the surface of its shell melted off. It raised a roar of unconcealed rage, firing its buckshot stinger at the approaching Hajime.

Hajime quickly retrieved a 【Flash Grenade】 from his pouch and tossed it high overhead. Next, as he pulled out Donner, he fired before the buckshot stinger was scattered. Then, non-electromagnetically accelerated bullets struck and exploded the falling 【Flash Grenade】.

The scorpion was already accustomed to the light. Although it was annoyed, it wasn’t shaken and searched for Hajime’s presence in the room dyed bright with light.

However, there was no sign of Hajime no matter how hard it looked. Just as the scorpion was bewildered over losing Hajime’s presence, Hajime landed on the scorpion’s back.

“Kishua?!”

The scorpion let out a startled cry. That would definitely be the case as the presence it had been searching for managed to slip through its detection net and all of a sudden, reappear on its back. Together with the flash of light, Hajime had used 【Hide Presence】 to sever his presence in order to land atop the scorpion’s back.

The scorpion’s red-hot shell burnt Hajime’s skin from beneath. However, without caring about such matters, the muzzle was pushed against where the surface of its shell has been melted thin, and the trigger, was being pulled repeatedly. The scorpion’s shell, having lost its original durability and receiving consecutive zero distance shots from the railgun, finally, that absolute shield yielded and broke apart.

The scorpion ignored the possibility of hurting itself and try to knock Hajime off with its twin tails, but Hajime made his move first.

“Here, eat this.” ⌈12

As if burying a parting gift within its body, Hajime took out a 【Grenade】 from his pouch and used his arm to stab it deeply into the hole opened by Donner. Hajime didn’t even care if his arm festered from burns.

Withdrawing with 【Ground Shrink】before the scorpion’s attack could reach, the scorpion tried to turn around for another attack at Hajime who was retreating from its back. However, that was it.

“BOOM————!!”

Along with the sound of a muffled explosion which echoed the vicinity, the scorpion quivered with a twitch. The scorpion, which was facing Hajime, stopped moving, and the entire area was wrapped in silence.

Eventually, the scorpion began to slant and with a rumbling sound, and collapsed onto the ground.

Hajime warily approached the unmoving scorpion, thrust Donner into its mouth and fired another two or three rounds before he was convinced that the scorpion was dead. Hajime nodded his head while muttering a “Good”. It was definitely dead! This action could be called a policy that Hajime follow these days.

Looking over his shoulder, while still expressionless, her eyes seem to be somewhat delighted as Yue sat there, watching Hajime. He couldn’t tell when this dungeon capturing is going to end, but it seems like a promising partner has appeared.

It is said that Pandora’s Box contains all the world’s Evils13⌋ and a sliver of Hope. Somehow or other, it seems like that example he made before entering this room was fairly on target ⌈14⌋. While thinking of such stuff, Hajime slowly walked over to her side.
