Chapter 42 – Retreat



Everything was as Xiao Chen intended, it is not that he did not comprehend the exquisite style. However, if he wants to thoroughly break this imposing Barbarian Tribe expert, it is necessary to use his own specialty against him. Even if he cannot kill him like this, at least it will leave a shadow that cannot be obliterated deep in his heart!

One cannot show any kindness towards their enemy, he wanted to leave a deep scar deep in his heart eternally!

Xiao Chen really wanted to break Chaos into pieces, he didn’t want to leave behind anything that will endanger him. Since they already become enemies, in order to secure his safety in the future, the most effective method is to completely exterminate your opponent.

However, the divine wolf and fierce tiger beside Chaos were growling unceasingly, they emitted burst after burst of terrifying fluctuation. They were like an unbreakable divine armor that protected Chaos’ body. Moreover, a boundless energy constantly rushed towards Chaos’ right leg, trying to force Xiao Chen to release him.

When Xiao Chen and Chaos were in the middle of their fight, the young expert from the Jungle Tribe, Yaluo De, who was several hundreds of meter away, was also in the middle of a battle. An expert whose entire body was covered in a dim radiance stopped Yaluo De’s path in the most crucial moment. He prevented Yaluo De from saving Chaos, he clearly wanted to help Xiao Chen in his quest to kill Chaos.

That was a mysterious Spell Master, he kept executing killing moves against Yaluo De. Only until Chaos sunk into the most dangerous moment did he finally injure the opponent, and rushed over in a hurry. However, he also sustained some minor injuries.

Endless amount of vines stretched at high-speed in the woodland, it spun towards Xiao Chen like a green furious wave. After they saw someone crashed their way through the forest to participate in the battle, the three skeletons that were observing the fight at the sideline all along transformed into three glints of light, and dashed towards Yaluo De.

The terrifying venomous thorns, and those tenacious vines gave Xiao Chen some inconvenience for a moment. However, he was not afraid, he used Chaos’ body as a weapon to smash the venomous thorns and vines.

The venomous thorns shrink back, the vines rush forth crazily, it actually submerged Chaos’ body within. One after another green radiance were emitted by those long vines. It contained an inexhaustible Spiritual Power, those power originated from Yaluo De.

When Yaluo De and Chaos’ power combined, they finally forced Xiao Chen to loosen his hands. It was only natural that Xiao Chen would exert his strength to ruthlessly smash the vines that enveloped Chaos the moment his hands were loose. It caused Chaos’ body to stick so close to the solid ground that even the woodland quaked violently.

When Chaos was saved, he didn’t rush forward recklessly. He quickly retreated along with the vines.

On the other side, the three skeletons actually got in front of Yaluo De. Just then, Yaluo De sent most of his Spiritual Power towards the vines close to Xiao Chen, in this process, he nearly let himself get heavily injured by the three skeletons.

Qinguang Wang, Yanluo Wang, and Lunhui Wang, actually summoned the Dark Underworld Flame, the terrifying underworld flame burned most of the vegetation that was laid out to defend. Now that his Spiritual Power is back, he easily trapped the three skeletons. However, just around this time, Xiao Chen pressed his way here. Yaluo De couldn’t help but hurriedly retreat after joining up with Chaos.

A brief moment of calmness, both sides were standing opposite of each other in the mountain woods. All the observers in the distant held their breath as they watched nervously.

Chaos let out a furious howl softly, his pair of eyes send out an indistinct green radiance. This is the awakening of a beast, he felt that he received the greatest humiliation today, his ego suffered a critical hit, he wanted to press on together with Yaluo De.

However, Yaluo De stopped him, and softly transmitted, “We look down on him too much, let this be a lesson! We cannot continue to fight with him now, there are people glaring at us like a tiger watching his prey. Just then, I was being hindered by someone, that’s why I was not able to come rescue you immediately. Right now, we already sustained some injuries, we must not sustain more injuries because of our fight with him. If that is the case, the people hiding in the dark might make their moves on us. Let us temporarily retreat for today.”

If Xiao Chen and the three skeletons join forces to confront the two young experts in front of them, he knew the odds of success is very low. After all, the two before him were not much weaker than himself. His three skeletal partners are not as powerful as them. He has nothing to fear if it is one on one, but a battle royal will be dangerous.

Right at this moment, Xiao Chen gradually retracted his tyrannical aura. He just stood there motionlessly without saying a word, his tall body gradually exudes a majestic spiritual aura.

Yaluo De’s complexion changed slightly, it was very obvious that the opposing side did not only possess incomparably tyrannical strength. Judging from the aura he emitted now, “strength” was merely one aspect of his power.

“Let’s put down the matter today for the time being!” As soon as Yaluo De finish saying these words, he pulled Chaos who was unwilling to leave along.

Xiao Chen didn’t say anything, he only stood there calmly and watch them leave attentively. If people do not disturb him, he will not go find trouble for them. However, if they wanted to take advantage of him, he will counterattack with the most appropriate method. This is his living standard.

This battle completely overturned Chaos and Yaluo De’s view on Xiao Chen, they never thought this opponent was powerful to this kind of degree. In his fit of rage, Chaos felt his ego had been completely trampled on.

Never mock your enemy! Yaluo De was a little vexed to come to this conclusion. At the same time, he maliciously hoped Yan Qing Cheng and Lande will also make the same mistake.

Xiao Chen stood there calmly for a long while, only until all the gazes that were secretly spying on him disappeared did he finally let out a breath of relief. He sustained some light injuries, but it doesn’t matter. He possessed an exuberant life energy now, it will be recovered very quickly.

Using violence to curb violence, this is a genuine confrontation of strength. If it was not because his “Center Palace Acupoint” had divinized and promoted his ability by several folds, it might become dangerous today.

Xiao Chen and the three skeletons took a short rest before they continue their journey. After advancing for several hundred meter, he finally found out why Yaluo De didn’t come to the rescue on time. In this region, he discovered traces of a fierce battle between Yaluo De and someone else.

There was an expert hiding in the vicinity that wanted to use him to eliminate Chaos. Xiao Chen knitted his eyebrows slightly, it seems like the circumstances on the Dragon Island is getting more complicated. Clearly, the chaotic battle had already begun.

The strong survives, the weak dies, this is the survival of the fittest on the Dragon Island!

The mountain range moved up and down, after Xiao Chen and the three skeletons pass through a small mountain, a valley showed up in front of them. Since they arrived here, the tracks of the beasts clearly become a lot fewer. The surrounding gradually become extremely quiet.

Xiao Chen began to scan his surrounding carefully. After all, even the crimson ape was unwilling to approach this area, it proved that this place is definitely filled with dangers. Sure enough, he discovered many huge footprints in the valley ahead, each of them was at least one meter long!

Chapter 41 – Use Violence To Curb Violence



Xiao Chen unceasingly formed a seal with both hands ⌈1⌋, he formed one after another mysterious life and death magic circles. Specks of radiance flickered unsteadily, then it become brighter and brighter, until it finally become as bright as a star. Finally, along with the wave of both hands, the glorious stars soared into the sky, it was as if the starry sky had suddenly covered the sky of the woodland.

Chaos, who were throwing himself at Xiao Chen, clearly felt the threat of death. After a hysterical howl, a greenish-yellow radiance burst out from his body, one could vaguely see a large wolf and fierce tiger floating beside him. They emitted two extremely oppressive roars that frightened all the creatures in the vicinity, causing them unable to hold back their wail!

The two faintly discernible beasts were incomparably mystical and tyrannical. They actually opened their huge mouth and gobble up the mysterious star diagram. Xiao Chen was a little surprised, the legend was really true, some of the Barbarian Tribe experts have ancient beast soul sealed within their body. They possessed astounding potential!

The three meter tall Chaos ⌈2⌋ landed in the woods, his yellow-brownish long hair messily draped over his shoulders. His pair of eyes were brimming with brutal radiance. Right now, he seemed like an incomparably terrifying king of the beasts. He emitted an extremely powerful fiendish aura.

“I never thought you were this powerful, I always neglected you until now. Not only me, I guess Yan Qing Cheng and Lande were also the same!” Saying until here, Chaos let out a deep and low beastly howl, “People like you are very dangerous, it would be better to completely exterminate you today!”

At the moment, it is hard to tell whether Chaos is a man or a beast, he snarled as he dashed towards Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen was at the end of his patience, he really couldn’t tolerate it anymore!

Xiao Chen raised his aura to the peak, he was so fast than an afterimage was left in his original position. He emitted an earth-shattering aura to welcome the young expert from Barbarian Tribe, Chaos. An unparallelled burst of power shook the forest trees in the vicinity, causing them to collapse one after another.

Without any trickery, he just directly met Chaos’ attack head on. With a loud explosive sound, incomparably dazzling radiance charged towards the heaven like a huge tsunami. The collision against the divine wolf and fierce tiger that wildly threw themselves from Chaos’ body caused boundless energy to burst out. The dazzling radiance was like a great waves that engulfed everything in all directions.

With a banging and rumbling noise, a large amount of forest trees were destroyed, the withered leaves fluttered about hysterically. The huge trees even further away collapsed one after another, it was as if there were ancient monsters battling here. A tiny piece of woodland perished immediately.

A turbulent aura pervaded the entire area, the young expert from Barbarian Tribe, Chaos, whose body was made up of powerful energy, was actually sent flying backwards uncontrollably. His three meter tall physique emitted greenish-yellow radiance, a row of huge trees snapped off from the impact! He was actually pushed back by pure energy!

It seemed as if there was a raging flame outside of Xiao Chen’s body. At the moment, he resemble an incomparably tyrannical Barbarian Tribesman. His pair of eyes emitted a raging radiance, his black long hair brushed lightly by the wind, he took large strides forward, every step he took, the mountain woods quaked along. It was as if a giant was moving, he emitted an incomparably terrifying pressure that caused people to feel fearful.

The mountain forest is unusually quiet at this moment, all the wild beasts had ceased yelling. The only sound that could be heard was the footsteps of the raging Xiao Chen.

In the mountain woods a distant away, seven to eight practitioners who were concealing their presence exposed an astonished expression. Nobody other than them knew just how formidable Chaos is. Not long ago, they saw Chaos tore apart the body of one practitioner after another with their own eyes. He was practically an unstoppable vicious beast.

However, at the moment, a youngster actually suppressed him by using pure power, forcing him to flit backwards uncontrollably. This is really unfathomable, one must know that the specialty of a Barbarian Tribe lies in their raw strength!

At this moment, the few experts who were observing from a distant place engraved Xiao Chen’s tyrannical figure deeply in their mind. This is a wild and terrifying young expert!

“Roar……” Chaos was furious, his hysterical howl was like that of a wounded beast. He was finally able to control his body and landed on the ground. Everything that happened earlier was like a humiliation to him, there are people who actually dared to use raw strength to challenge him. He induced an incomparably ferocious aura, and dashed towards the young antagonist in front of him in a fit of rage. The terrifying greenish-yellow radiance swept away every obstruction, that huge divine wolf and fierce tiger became more distinct. They were accompanying him by his side, and dashed forward along with him! Waves of catastrophic baleful aura pervaded every directions.

“Rawr……” Xiao Chen also let out a low howl, it was as if his tall and mighty figure was made out of steel. It gave people a feeling that his powerful strength was insurmountable. His black long hair danced about hysterically, both of his hand dispersed one after another dazzling radiance, a terrifying energy rushed forth in a frenzy, like a blast of raging sea.

This time, the two powerful young experts moved as fast as lightning, they only left behind afterimages in the woodland. The incomparably powerful energy gave rise to a storm that destroyed one after another forest trees. It was as if this place was struck by terrifying thunderbolt, the branches and withered leaves fluttered about everywhere. The woodland within the glaring radiance was completely destroyed.

A terrifying fluctuation rumbled violently, the dazzling radiance was incomparably fearsome! The faces of few experts that were observing from a distant place instantly turned pale. This battle is extremely intense, they come to a conclusion that they would not have the power to resist.

“Roar……”

The three meter tall Chaos let out a furious roar. During the intense fight, when he swept his unstoppable long leg towards Xiao Chen’s chest, his leg was actually firmly grabbed by Xiao Chen’s hands. Xiao Chen firmly hold on to Chaos’ right leg, not giving him any chance to get free. As if he was swinging a scarecrow, Xiao Chen flung Chaos with powerful force.

“Snap!”

Within the interval that the sound of a huge tree snapped off, Chaos was being swung around like a huge stick. Xiao Chen hacked his body against a tall ancient tree, directly chopping it in half. After that, as if Xiao Chen had gone crazy, he kept swinging the three meter tall Chaos like this. He swung Chaos around hysterically in the mountain woods, smashing against the ground, and hack the giant trees.

With loud rumbling sound, the giant trees fell unceasingly, countless ancient trees disintegrated into nothingness. Chaos is being treated as a human-shaped weapon by Xiao Chen!

This is an incomparably brutish scene, the experts at the distant place simply couldn’t believe their own eyes. At this moment, they treated Xiao Chen as a “beast” more dangerous than Chaos. He is really too violent and ruthless.

Chapter 40 – No Need to Endure!



Xiao Chen knitted his eyebrows, judging from the crimson ape’s behavior, this matter will not be easy to deal with. Even this kind of monstrous beast doesn’t dare to go further than this. The mountain range is clearly not a merciful land.

“Roar……” The crimson ape let out a low growl, then it left without even turning back, heading towards the depths of the jungle.

Xiao Chen pondered for a while, then he decided to move forward. He started his journey along with the three skeletons.

After trekking through two mountain ranges, one after another deep and low beastly howls could be heard from the front. Even though the sound was not loud, it gives people an extremely dangerous oppressive feeling.

After passing through a dense shrubbery, Xiao Chen and the three skeletons headed towards the origin of those beastly howls. Along the way, the actually discovered quite a few corpses that belongs to some unfamiliar practitioners. They died in an extremely nasty state, it seems like they were ripped apart alive. It was obvious to see that they haven’t been killed too long ago. A bloody mist is still lingering in the forest, the stench of blood is extremely pungent.

The people getting on this Dragon Island is obviously growing in number. These people most likely encountered a vicious beast. But as Xiao Chen drew near to the origin of the beastly howls, his speculation from a moment ago was overthrown. Those practitioners weren’t killed by the vicious beasts!

In front of him, the atrocity is still taking place, he clearly saw the truth before him. A tall demonic figure is currently slaughtering in the forest, the moment it brandished its huge claw, bright-red blood rushed forth. It tore apart the body of a practitioner with bare hands, the liver and other internal organs spilled all over the ground. The blood splashed all over the place, the scene was extremely ruthless.

The demonic figure was tall and majestic, it was about three meter tall, it possessed a pair of wolf-like ears. Moreover, it also possessed a long and powerful tiger-like tail. It was actually someone Xiao Chen had met before — the young expert from Barbarian Tribe, Chaos.

Even though he possessed the body and appearance of a human, he looked as if he was just a human-shaped beast at the moment. He was heartless and cruel, two terrifying green lights emitted from his pair of eyes. The aura released by him was the same as that of a wild beast.

“Ah……”

A miserable shriek transmitted here again, Chaos turned around with all his might, that long and powerful tiger tail of his was like an incomparably sharp magic sword. It emitted a terrifying and bewitching radiance, it actually snapped the body of the last practitioner beside him in half!

“Roar……”

Chaos let out a deep and low beastly howl, the terrifying green light in his eyes gradually dimmed. The persona of a ferocious beast slowly faded away, the powerful young expert of the Barbarian Tribe, his strength was unquestionable. His atrocious personality was somewhat frightening, it was not an exaggeration to call him a human-shaped beast.

The young expert from the Jungle Tribe, Yaluo De, who was together with Chaos, was standing not far away from here. He was just watching everything unfolding before his eyes with a tranquil expression.

“Come out!” Chaos was as keen as a wild beast, his turned his head and look towards Xiao Chen’s direction in an instant.

At the same time, the vegetation behind Xiao Chen and the three skeletons danced about wildly. Many vines grew at ridiculous speed, leaving them with no path to escape. It was clearly the doings of Yaluo De who was capable of controlling the vegetation.

“Are you!” Seeing Xiao Chen revealed himself, Chaos released a dangerous beastly aura from his entire body, and asked, “You are tailing us?”

“No, please do not misunderstand.”

Yaluo De focused his gaze on the three skeletons, even though his body was very frail, his aura was not weak. He said in a heavy tone, “It’s actually undead creatures. Hey!”

The ominous glint in Chaos’ eyes flickered, he took large strides forward, and gave people a powerful oppressive feeling.

Yaluo De didn’t lack behind, he moved towards Xiao Chen and said with a neutral voice that was filled with murderous intent, “A little bird shouldn’t flutter about in front of a dragon, otherwise they will only face self-destruction!” His body emitted a faint green radiance, the green vegetation in front of him separated automatically, creating a green tunnel for him.

Even though his body is frail, his aura at the moment is on par with Chaos. He emitted a killing intent, it goes without saying that he compared Xiao Chen to a little bird, and himself as a huge dragon. This is an arrogance founded from one’s self-confidence, and also a type of humiliation.

Xiao Chen was furious, however he only deflected their attacks and left without saying a word. He already conceded, if Yaluo De and Chaos still wanted to block him, then he will have no choice but to fight!

Bypassing the blockage of the vines, Xiao Chen and the three skeletons gradually disappeared in the woods.

Chaos looked at Xiao Chen’s figure from behind, his pair of eyes were still flickering with the beastly radiance, and said, “He is really so weak……”

Yaluo De watched the woods attentively, he laughed faintly and said, “He is suppressing his own power, just now I felt his ability cannot be regarded as too weak. However…… hmph! Anyone who entered the Dragon Island, if they are not from our alliance, then they are our competitor. I wanted to find a good reason to eliminate any unexpected elements. But he was actually able to endure silently, for the time being, we will let him off. Don’t say we didn’t give Buddhist Yizhen any face.”

“Is that so, I didn’t have that much to worry about, just let me dispose of him!” Chaos had a really sturdy body, as soon as he finished his sentence, he left behind an afterimage in the place he was just standing. His tall body soared into the sky, he grabbed the branches of the tree with his huge hands like a monkey, and disappeared from that ancient tree in the twinkling of an eye.

Xiao Chen had merely distanced himself for a few hundred meter only. Suddenly, he felt the presence of a ferocious beast closing in at lightning speed. Just when he turned his head around, he discovered the treetop of a huge tree behind him snapped off with an explosive sound. It fell down along with a tall silhouette, the moment he landed on the ground, branches below him instantly disintegrated!

Chaos was practically like a wild beast, he destroyed everything that was in his path. All the trees and branches in his way were crushed by his body that emitted yellow radiance. He threw himself at Xiao Chen like a demonic ape, he was practically a human-shaped beast!

If it was impossible to avert the situation, then the only choice was to fight to the death! This is Xiao Chen’s bottom line and principle.

He already made quite a few enemies on this Dragon Island, he wanted to avoid offending others as much as possible. However, it seems like that was just his own wishful thinking. Each and every person on the Dragon Island are fighting over the Ancestral Dragon and Syndicate Dragon King, they will mutually kill each other without question. It is impossible even if one wanted to settle the dispute peacefully!

As long as one is on the Dragon Island, it is impossible to avoid getting caught up in mass massacre.

Xiao Chen wanted to avoid offending them previously, but that doesn’t mean he is a coward. On the contrary, he is a man who can kill without blinking an eye. Since the other side is being so forceful, and passed the bottom line he set in his heart, there is no need for any more words to be said, it’s either kill or be killed!

Chapter 39 – Increase in Power



Early morning, the splendor of the morning radiance shine upon dewdrop on the leaves and flowers, making them seem like a crystal clear pearl. The fresh air was very refreshing.

Xiao Chen was already awake, he finally completely refined the enormous dragon energy contained within the second dragon egg. The “Center Palace Acupoint” at the tip of his chest was finally completely filled. The light speck and acupuncture point perfectly fused together. Compared to other acupuncture point, it was like a lantern in the dark of the night.

The third acupoint was transformed due to the contribution of two Elephans Draco eggs!

At this moment, Xiao Chen clearly felt somewhat different from before. The life energy from his body seemed much more powerful and abundant. The “Shang Hill Acupoint” in his left and right foot, the “Center Palace Acupoint” in his chest, these three acupoints seemed to be linked together by a slight trace of life energy! If one inspected closely, one was unable to see the traces of flowing life energy clearly. However, they could vaguely feel it.

Xiao Chen felt very delighted, what kind of abnormality would occur in the future, he didn’t know. However, his life energy has now become abundant and powerful, the benefits will definitely be huge.

People said cats have nine lives, that is because the life energy they possessed was sufficiently abundant. As a result, even if they suffered heavy injury many times, they would still be able to live on. Xiao Chen did not count on becoming an undying cat with nine life, but if he sustained any injury again, his wounded body will be healed by the abundance of life energy. The speed of recovery will inevitably become much faster.

The instant he got up, Xiao Chen felt his body was much lighter than before. Moreover, his strength also increased tremendously. By lightly waving his muscles and bones, he left behind a few afterimages in the woods, a few dazzling light blades were dispersed with a simple wave of both hands. All the giant trees in the way were chopped in half without resistance. With a rumbling sound, all the giant trees fell down and lie flat on the forest ground, dead leaves were swirling in the air.

His power increased tremendously! Only after a very long time did Xiao Chen finally calmed down, the transformed acupoints seemed to have exceeded his imagination.

Before he was only able to convince himself that his ability was around the second celestial layer of exuvia, or perhaps around the third celestial layer. He couldn’t be sure, but now he is confident that he has reached the third or fourth celestial layer. In addition to his abundance of life energy, he believes he can handle experts around the level of fourth celestial layer, or maybe even opponents a little stronger than that!

Xiao Chen is looking forward to the day that all the three hundred and sixty-five acupoint completely transformed with high expectation!

So many tall ancient trees in the woods were cut down by the dazzling light blade dispersed by Xiao Chen. However, even with such a big disturbance, the three skeletons didn’t react in the slightest. Qinguang Wang, Yanluo Wang, and Lunhui Wang encircled the last remaining dragon egg. It seemed like they were nervously watching something.

Since Xiao Chen woke up, he kept inspecting the changes in his own body, he didn’t pay attention to his surrounding. He didn’t took notice of the three skeletons, only now did he clearly feel something was out-of-place. He quickly walked towards there to look, the outcome made him feel dumbstruck.

The palm-sized rainbow-colored sacred tree rooted itself to the jasper-like dragon egg. The divine radiance circulated like ripples of water, the trunk of the sapling is even sturdier than before. The big inky jade leaf was glittering with black radiance, and that small crystal clear white jade leaf seemed to have grown much bigger!

Such a mystical sacred tree! It was actually able to absorb the essence of the dragon egg, capable of refining the enormous life energy of the dragon.

The eggshell that was flickering with green radiance gradually became dimmer. Then cracks began to form slowly, with a ‘pop’ sound, the egg was finally shattered into small pieces. Not even the slightest trace of life energy fluctuation was found in the egg, there was only a glistening yellow liquid that flowed all over the ground.

Xiao Chen held the divine sproutling with both hands, this is really such a mystical treasure! He didn’t feel too bad regarding the lost of the dragon egg.

“The three of you put it on top of the dragon egg?”

The three skeletons shook their heads at the same time.

“I didn’t blame you guys. On the contrary, you guys did a good job.”

Qinguang Wang and the others still shook their heads, with their jaw generating clacking sounds, and gesturing with their body claws unceasingly, they spent a lot of effort to make Xiao Chen understand what they were implying. The small sacred tree actually rooted onto the dragon egg all by itself.

How is this possible? How could it move by itself! However, it was impossible for the three skeletons to lie. It seems like the tiny sacred tree really did fell from the giant tree and attach to the dragon egg by itself.

It was a very strange phenomenon, Xiao Chen was somewhat puzzled.

Xiao Chen could vaguely feel that his body was transforming. The essence of training was to continuously break the shackles of the human body, to achieve the constant transformation and promotion of oneself. He clearly felt that his body was slowly changing.

The three skeletons as well, after refining dozens of highest quality crystal stones, and using the tiny sacred tree to aid training, they seemed different compared to before. The spiritual light in their skulls became a little brighter, the traces of luster on their bones was much smoother than before. They are becoming more and more lustrous.

Xiao Chen decided that no matter how much crystal stones he earned in the future, he will give them to the three skeletons immediately. So as to let them transform constantly and advance towards a higher evolution. What he wanted was to transform his acupoint, which needed an enormous amount of energy. An ordinary crystal stone will not be able to satisfy him, unless it was a Dragon Crystal. Otherwise it will be like a cup of water on a burning cart of firewood, it will never be able to satisfy him.

After the tiny sacred tree absorbed the essence within the Elephans Draco egg, the seven-colored radiance lingering around became even more magical. The white jade leaf might become as big as the inky jade leaf very soon.

After carefully placing the divine sproutling in the depths of the swamp, and burying the pieces of jasper-like Elephans Draco eggshell, Xiao Chen and the three skeletons began their journey again. He must resolves the problem with Zhao Lin Er and Gu Luo as soon as possible.

At the time of setting off, Xiao Chen suddenly recalled those group of Mystical Giant Ape. When Zhao Lin Er was saved by the young unicorn, that four-armed crimson ape led a group of apes to go after them. Maybe they can get some important clues from that place.

Not long later, Xiao Chen and the three skeletons showed up in the vicinity of the Stone Forest where the giant apes were dwelling. Unlike the other region, this place is very peaceful. The constant bellow of the beasts could not be heard in this region. The fragrant of flowers and plants around the Stone Forest pervaded the air, the lovely birdsong was pleasant to listen to, many vines twisted around the Stone Forest.

“Roar……” A bellow of rage was transmitted over, a three meter tall elderly ape flashed out from the Stone Forest. It kept releasing a low growl as it rushed towards Xiao Chen and the gang. It exposed extreme hostility towards Xiao Chen, this group of giant ape was in a friendly relationship with Xiao Chen for several days. However, because of the death of a single ape, their relationship fell apart.

Xiao Chen already knew these group of giant apes possessed intelligence, he patiently gestured to explain, he wish they could provide any clues regarding Zhao Lin Er.

The cries of the young apes transmitted from the Stone Forest, a few immature apes leaped out of the Stone Forest. There was also one elderly ape following after them. Apparently, the fully grown giant apes are not around, only two elderly apes remained to look after the young apes, and watch over their dwelling. It was easy to tell the two elderly apes were somewhat nervous.

By means of constant gesturing, and explaining over and over again, the elderly apes seemed to have understood what Xiao Chen was implying to some degree. One of them leapt into the depths of the jungle as if it was flying, it went in search of the other giant apes.

After at least half an hour later, a few dozens of long cries was transmitted from a distant location. The crimson ape led dozens of giant apes over here and surrounded Xiao Chen, each and every one of them were growling unceasingly. They seemed very hostile.

Xiao Chen knew he couldn’t come to this place anymore in the future. The little bit of friendship they had before was completely shattered. He tried to get through to them by explaining repeatedly, and constantly using his hands to make a gesture. He even went as far as drawing Zhao Lin Er and the young unicorn’s portrait on the ground. The crimson ape was an intelligent beast after all, it finally understood and snarled at the other apes. After that, it brought Xiao Chen and the three skeletons by itself towards a certain direction of the ancient primitive forest, it left by jumping into the dense forest first.

Instead of going into the depths of the island, they were led towards the west. One couldn’t help but feel that the crimson ape was extraordinary, its body and hands were incomparably strong. It was impossible for Xiao Chen and the three skeletons to leap over the branches and leaves for a long period of time. However, at least they could still keep up with the crimson ape in the woods, it was unlikely for them to be left behind and lost track of the crimson ape.

After passing through a few mountain range, the crimson ape finally stopped. The ape pointed at the ancient primitive forest in the mountain range ahead of them, and let out a few growls. It didn’t continue to advance, it seemed like the region in front of them is filled with dangers. Even the crimson ape doesn’t dare to approach.

Chapter 38 – The Power of Elephans Draco



One could only describe the scenario before their eyes as total chaos, bellow of the beasts shook the heaven, the mountain forest quaking like never before, dead leaves swirling in the air, all kind of creatures running in every directions, if Yan Qing Cheng and the rest knew it was Xiao Chen who caused this mess, they will certainly vow to tear him into pieces. Right now, all of them were caught up in a dangerous situation.

The mountain forest on the other side was in total chaos, but the primitive forest behind the valley is still as peaceful as before. Xiao Chen let the three skeletons seize the opportunity to escape, he stayed behind to cover their retreat.

Yanluo Wang, Qinguang Wang, and Lunhui Wang were each carrying a dragon egg while making their escape without leaving a trace. They headed towards the deathly swamp at lightning speed. Seeing that everything is normal, Xiao Chen also retreated quickly, he didn’t continue to observe whether the Elephans Draco could kill Yan Qing Cheng and the rest of them. The most important thing is to leave this chaotic mountain forest as soon as possible. After all, he was the main culprit.

In regards to Yan Qing Cheng, Lande, and the rest of them, today is an incomparably vexing day. However, for Xiao Chen, it is a very refreshing and incomparably carefree day. This could also be regarded as an indirect response to Yan Qing Cheng and Lande’s taunt.

By the time Xiao Chen returned to the deathly swamp, the sunset glow was lingering on the Western horizon, a large number of clouds rendered the entire sky bright red. The day is already getting late.

The reason why he treated this deathly swamp as his temporary residence was because there is an Undead King here that will not move unless something big occurred. It can intimidate the monsters, making them not dare to approach. Moreover, the three skeletons are more familiar with this area, if they encounter any danger, this place can act as a pretty good buffer zone.

The three skeletons had returned a long time ago, three crystal clear jasper eggs were made to stay put in the swamp by them. They were actually treating the eggs as stools and sit on top of it. They are really…… unique.

Out of Xiao Chen’s expectation, the giant tree that was rooted by the divine sproutling did not wilt and die. On the contrary, its leaves were emerald-green, it seemed as if a layer of faint green radiance was flickering. The surrounding was filled with dense spiritual energy. It makes the swamp around the giant tree full of vitality.

Xiao Chen understood in a moment, the divine sproutling was not scary at all. It didn’t simply absorb the vitality of the giant tree, but rather gaining the benefits together. With its existence, the giant tree could draw the worldly essence at high-speed. Compared to the past, it is many fold faster!

Last time, the reason why the giant tree dried up was most likely because of Xiao Chen and the three skeletons. The four of them drew most of the energy, their demands exceeded the supply, which resulted in the decline of the ancient tree.

Lunhui Wang and the other two were sitting on the dragon eggs, the spiritual light in their eye sockets were throbbing. They were looking at the seven-colored radiance lingering around the sapling impatiently. Xiao Chen spent a lot of effort to persuade them to take turns, they must not kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Three dragon eggs were glittering with green radiance, this was a really huge gain!

After the sunset glow faded away, Xiao Chen and the three skeletons arrived at the forest region around the edge of the swamp. Qinguang Wang and the others were not affected by the undead miasma, but if Xiao Chen was exposed to it for a long period of time, he would definitely be unable to endure it.

The shiny sacred tree, and the glittering dragon eggs, set each other off nicely. It caused the spiritual energy in the forest to become denser, the radiance was flowing like the ripples of the water.

The three skeletons could absorb the power of the crystal stone, and the pure energy lingering around the sacred tree. However, they could not absorb the life energy of the dragon egg. It was because the dragon egg contained enormous amount of life energy, they needed to refine it one step further to change it into the pure energy that they can absorb.

Yanluo Wang and the other two did a great job, Xiao Chen allowed them to absorb the energy from the tiny sacred tree one by one, and leave the divine sproutling some time to recover. He hoped that the tiny sacred tree could grow one step further after accumulating and refining enough worldly essence.

In addition, Xiao Chen gave the three skeletons all the remaining few dozens of high-class crystal stones that he was keeping. This made the three undead creatures so excited that they did a few somersault in succession. The more time Xiao Chen spent with these skeletons, he discovered that these three were not lacking vigour at all. On the contrary, they are very lively.

Night time, a bright radiance was lingering around the woods. Xiao Chen split one of the dragon eggs. A boundless life energy spread over a large area in a split second, it transformed into a miniature Elephans Draco. It makes a threatening gesture and threw itself at Xiao Chen. It was quickly captured by Xiao Chen and brought into his body.

After experiencing it once, it was not as painful as the last time. While refining the life energy of the fierce dragon, he guided the boundless energy to circulate within his body.

One dragon egg doesn’t seem to be very big, but the life energy contained within it was immeasurable. After all, it will grow into a vicious dragon in the future! An inexhaustible green divine radiance wrapped Xiao Chen within, it was throbbing like a searing divine flame. The fluctuation of life energy was very fierce, looking from the distant, it was like a lump of raging divine flame.

The three skeletons were a little amazed as they looked at Xiao Chen. They could vaguely see an Elephans Draco that was twinkling with green divine radiance coiling around Xiao Chen while making a threatening gesture. It was swallowing and nipping the life energy forcefully.

However, with the passage of time, the light and shadow of the Elephans Draco gradually dimmed. On the other hand, Xiao Chen’s skin was flickering with crystal clear light. The “power” emitted from his entire person seemed much more powerful than before.

It lasted until the midnight, the searing divine flame throbbing outside of Xiao Chen’s body finally died down and entered his body. His expression became sharper, it was as he expected, the enormous life energy of the dragon did not merge with the pure energy he personally developed. On the contrary, all the them gathered in the “Center Palace Acupoint” ⌈1⌋ to form into a tiny light speck. One more acupuncture point was divinized!

The “Center Palace Acupoint” is located around the chest area, at the bottom most of the sternum. At the moment, the “Center Palace Acupoint” was filled with a glorious speck of light, however it was not completely filled yet.

Elephans Draco could not resist the Eight-Clawed Tyrant Dragon, the life energy contained in the dragon egg it laid was also incomparable to the dragon egg of the Tyrant Dragon. One could clearly feel the differences between the vicious dragon from this. Fortunately, Xiao Chen still had two more dragon eggs, he was convinced that he will be able to completely transform the “Center Palace Acupoint” today.

Today, after condensing the enormous dragon energy into his acupoint, he felt somewhat different from before. Apparently, his own life energy had increased tremendously, he could feel an indescribable amount of life energy.

Without thinking too much, Xiao Chen split the second dragon egg. The dazzling radiance of life once more lingered around the woods, a lump of raging divine flame wrapped Xiao Chen within it.

The three skeletons were no longer interested, they also started to concentrate on drawing the energy of the crystal stones. Dozens of high quality crystals were crushed by their spiritual light, refined into multicolored lights that slowly merged with the bones all over their body. After that, it entered their spiritual light again, their spiritual light were slowly expanding, the bones were gradually gaining another few layers of luster……



 

Chapter 37 – Jasper Egg



A dark green vicious dragon emitted a fiendish aura, it walked around slowly in the valley. Its body length could stretch up to twenty meter, it was as tall as ten meter, its body seemed as heavy as an elephant. But of course, its body was much bigger than an elephant. Its neck was as long as a huge snake, it was about eight meter long. Its draconic head was also very similar to that of a snake, except there was an addition of an incomparably sharp horn. Its tail was also just as scary, it appeared similar to the tail of a huge lizard, it was about ten meter long.

Elephant-like body, snake-like head, its entire body was covered in dark green scales, glittering like frost and snow. it seemed very imposing and fierce, the baleful aura released by the vicious beast filled the entire valley. It caused all the birds and beasts to stay away from this area.

This was the legendary Elephans Draco! ⌈1⌋ Even though it was not comparable to fierce dragons such as the Tyrannical Dragon and Eight-Clawed Tyrant Dragon, it was still as strong as the Sacred Dragon. However, on this sealed Dragon Island, it will never be able to use its legendary divine power anymore, it can only rely on its brute strength.

However, with its powerful body, as well as its tyrannical draconic strength, even if it lost all kinds of divine power, it was not affected much. It merely couldn’t attack from a distance only, it is still as powerful as a demigod in close-combat! Perhaps, practitioners that haven’t reached the level of demigods couldn’t even leave a slightest scratch on it.

In the dead center of the valley, there is a woodland that was destroyed a long time ago. The forest trees that was destroyed were used to build a simple dragon nest. Looking from the distant, there were actually several jade-like dragon eggs within the nest! The dragon eggs were as clear as green jade. Dazzling radiance was released by the eggs, a green mist lingered around, making that place glow with a divine radiance.

Xiao Chen and the three skeletons stood on top of the precipice at the side of the valley, they could see everything in the valley clearly. The Elephans Draco actually laid several dragon eggs. It was not a question of how many dragon eggs were laid, but rather how long ago did it lay the eggs. According to the legends, the Ancestral Dragon and Syndicate Dragon will make an appearance soon, it is hard to guarantee that it won’t emerge from the later generations of the Elephans Draco!

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”……

The quaking of earth was transmitted from the inner valley, the Elephans Draco walk with heavy steps towards the outside of the valley. After some time had passed, the wail of a wild elephant could be heard from the mountain forest. Not long later, the Elephans Draco dragged a huge elephant back to the valley. It lie on the valley and began to enjoy its food.

The scene was somewhat bloody, it makes one feel sick to watch it. Not far away from it, there were a big pile of bones. It must be the remains of the animals it hunted for food.

The vicious dragon was ruthless, in a short period of time, it swallowed the entire elephant. It seemed like it didn’t have enough yet, it moved its enormous body and went out of the valley again.

Meanwhile, Xiao Chen noticed Yan Qing Cheng, Lande, and seven other practitioners were attracted by the draconic roars. They were observing from the mountain forest just outside of the valley. It seemed like they wanted to make sure if this valley have any young dragon.

Xiao Chen tried to communicate with the three skeletons. Naturally, he needed to talk continuously, and using his hands to gesture. He couldn’t hear the voice of the three skeletons.

“Get down from this cliff, each person carry one dragon egg!”

“Clack! Clack……!” The three skeletons were puzzled as they open and closed their jaws.

“I am talking about those crystal clear thing that emitted divine radiance.” Xiao Chen used his finger to point those dragon egg within the dragon nest.

……

He wanted them to go steal the dragon eggs, the three skeletons were very unwilling. They knew the Elephans Draco was not to be trifled with. However, they were still persuaded by Xiao Chen in the end. They nimbly climbed down from the cliff, Xiao Chen nervously watched the entrance of the valley, keeping a “lookout” for the three skeletons. Last time the three skeletons wanted Xiao Chen to dig the divine sproutling no matter what, this time can be considered to be even.

Qinguang Wang and the other two were extremely fast, they only left behind three stripes of white light in the valley. They rushed close to the dragon nest in an instant. The three skeletons did not hesitate, each of them carried a millstone-sized jasper dragon egg, and make their getaway like a thief.

“Roar……” The bellow of the Elephans Draco was transmitted from a distant mountain forest, it seemed like the Elephans Draco already killed its prey.

Xiao Chen nervously observed the surrounding on top of the precipice. Lunhui Wang and the other two skeletons were more like their *** had been set on fire, they increased their speed to the limit. Fortunately, the valley was not even one square kilometer, it was not very wide, three stripes of white light rushed to the bottom of the cliff at lightning speed.

The three skeletons were super strong, they carried the huge dragon egg with a single hand, and climbed up the cliff quickly. During the moment they rushed up the cliff, a “booming” sound was transmitted from the entrance of the valley. The earth quaked slightly, the imposing Elephans Draco dragged a huge tiger that was about five to six meter long back to the valley.

The three skeletons seemed to have lingering fears, Qinguang Wang was patting its chest like what a human would do. It doesn’t resembled a skeleton at all, it was clearly a human with deep emotion.

Even though the differences between Elephans Draco and Eight-Clawed Tyrant Dragon were rather big, their dragon eggs was about the same size, both was as big as a millstone. The glorious brilliance illuminated the plants on top of the cliff, the crystal clear eggshell was as beautiful and bright as a jadeite. The splendid afterglow was slowly circulating around the mountain forest, words can’t even begin to describe how miraculous it was.

Xiao Chen make the three skeletons move the dragon eggs to the rear of the mountain forest to prevent the Elephans Draco below to notice the multicolored light. This was indeed a heaven-sent opportunity.

After tearing apart more than half of the huge tiger, the Elephans Draco felt something was not right. It attentively walked towards the dragon nest, a world-shaking roar suddenly break out from the valley. The terrifying dragon roar pierced through the skies.

There were originally five jasper dragon eggs, now they are only two remaining. The Elephans Draco went into berserk-mode, it ran around the valley at high-speed, almost causing the valley itself to shake. After an incomparably furious roar, it dashed out of the valley like a madman.

Outside of the valley was utter chaos, the Elephans Draco already rushed into the primitive jungle, all the trees blocking its path was toppled over and turned upside down, the leaves swirled in the air, thousands of beast fleeing in all directions. It was rare for the Elephans Draco to go berserk like this, it was the overlord of this area. All the beasts in the field and the birds in the air flee in disarray, including many fierce-looking exotic beasts.

All the practitioners that were prying into the valley in hope to find the Syndicate Dragon, had the urge to utter a curse. How did it come to this? Who was it that provoked the Elephans Draco, could it be that there was really a young Dragon King within the valley, someone entered the valley to seize it, and was caught by this vicious dragon?

At the moment, they didn’t dare to think too much, they could only run with all their might. They wished that they had a pair of wings, this Elephans Draco was too terrifying. Everything in its path was destroyed, it was practically an enormous killing machine.

Yan Qing Cheng and Lande also suffered the same fate. At this moment, the two of them were also unable to keep their calm. Aside from the vicious dragon that was wrecking havoc, this area was also filled with many startled beasts. Their situation was extremely dangerous, the two of them mixed into the army of beasts to flee.

Chapter 36 – Nine Celestial Layers



Exuvia, Historia, Zephyrus, Nirvana, Immortalis, these five major realm clearly distinguished the strength of every experts in the world.

Only people who entered these five realms could be considered a real expert. The realm of Exuvia was precisely a wall that divides the weak and the strong, it was like a heavenly wall that prevents overwhelming majority of the people from entering.

However, bottlenecks of Historia, Zephyrus, Nirvana, and Immortalis were not much easier to breakthrough! After entering the realm of Exuvia, and comprehended the true essence of meditation, there are still four more bottlenecks to breakthrough!

Thus, the gaps of strength between the five major realms were very huge. Very few could defeat an expert that was one rank higher. Moreover, the gaps between the same rank were also considerably big. Such as the junior of a certain realm vs the peak expert of the same realm, the differences between them were like heaven and earth.

Therefore, people made a subdivision, for every realm, they divided it into Nine Celestial Layers. Thus, Exuvia, Historia, Zephyrus, Nirvana, and Immortalis, these five major realms each possessed nine subcategories.

Five Major Realm! Every realms possessed Nine Celestial Layers!

The realm of the emperor, the peak of Immortalis! It is the ultimate realm that every practitioner yearns for! However, since ancient times, how many people were able to achieve this goal?

According to the ranking system, Xiao Chen already stepped into the realm of Exuvia. After understanding the five major realms in details, he felt deeply moved.

Among these five major realms, the Immortalis rarely made an appearance. As far as the majority of people were concerned, they were simply a legendary existence. The practitioners of Nirvana were painstakingly overcoming death, it was even harder to encounter them. It was nearly impossible to find any traces of them.

The practitioners of the top two rank hardly appears on the mundane world. In a sense, the experts of Zephyrus were the really terrifying figures. They could resist gravity and fly freely, control the power of the worldly essence, and possessed various kinds of divine ability. It seemed like they could easily wipe out an entire region. As a result, they were revered as demigods!

Xiao Chen had seen the fight between the Fallen Angel and Sacred Dragon. They are precisely existences on this level! Without a doubt, even though they are as rare as phoenix feather and unicorn horn, the experts among them are not limited to this realm only. According to ancient legend, these ancient race were the offshoots of deities!

However, even though it is possible to see demigod level experts in the world of immortals, they would rarely get into a fight. After all, their power is too formidable, they could practically destroy everything in their path. When they really make their moves, it will inevitably cause a huge commotion on the mainland.

Demigod experts often intimidated their opponents, discouraging them from engaging in combats. On the contrary, Historia level experts were much closer to the ordinary people, so they had the chance to watch their fight. Therefore the practitioners of Historia were revered as war-god in the eyes of common people.

Among the experts of the five realms, the one that was most actively discussed was undoubtedly the practitioners of Exuvia. That is because some of the outstanding youths also stepped into this realm. With these group of youngsters among them, it would be hard not to enliven it. These experts are the closest to common people.

Yan Qing Cheng and Lande’s abilities were around the third or fourth celestial layer of Exuvia realm, they already broke through the first bottleneck. They could be considered one of the few young experts, they indeed had the capability back up their arrogance.

“Immortalis, the dream of every practitioner!” Xiao Chen heaved a sigh.

“In our eyes, the Immortalis realm is a goal too high to reach. However, in the eyes of those immortals, it might be a new beginning.” Buddhist Yizhen appeared to be rather moved, his expression seemed somewhat absent-minded, “Maybe they are pursuing the vast…… long forgotten…… ancient fairy tale world.”

Xiao Chen did not know much about the history of the world of immortals, so he didn’t pay much attention to these. What he wanted to know is, the fate of those historical figures that came from human world by distorting the dimension.

Dugu Qiubai, with a single sword, he looked at the whole world indifferently, and destroyed everything under the sun. What level did he reach now? With limpid autumn waters to serve as her guise, and jade to serve as her bone, where did the Fairy Shi Feixuan go? With worldly intelligence, and quick thinking of the elves, where is the Sorceress Wan Wan nowadays?

And many more figures……

Buddhist Yizhen already got out from the dazed state, the three skeletons were no longer acting foolishly. They lazily stretched their joints, Yanluo Wang even did a three hundred sixty degree somersault. There is not a single trace of foolishness left on their expression.

Originally, Xiao Chen wanted to leave this place, but his keen intuition detected several practitioners are currently closing in. They were carrying a hint of murderous aura, it seemed like someone wanted to kill him!

Everything was for the Syndicate Dragon, there were claw prints of a young dragon nearby. All the experts who entered this region wanted to fight over the legendary Dragon King, therefore they mutually slaughtered one another.

Xiao Chen laughed grimly, this kind of thing is not worthwhile for him to handle it himself. He retreated quickly with the three skeletons, trying to lure their pursuers to the waterfall. They planned to let Yan Qing Cheng and Lande handle them. The primitive jungle was verdant and lush, if one discovered that they were being tailed, it was very easy to break away from them. After they arrived at their destination, Xiao Chen and the three skeletons quickly changed direction, disappearing in the dense jungle.

The claw prints of the young dragon was even more concentrated in this area, the five practitioners quickly bumped into Yan Qing Cheng and Lande. Xiao Chen stood at the tip of a tall ancient tree, he could vaguely see an energy-generated sword ray wrecking havoc in the forest. Soon after, a huge savage dragon created from condensed energy soared into the sky, producing a rumbling noise and entangled the sword ray.

This seemed like a battle between two Spell Master!

Xiao Chen didn’t believe the power of Spell Masters originated from an esteemed god, he believed those ancient spell was a peculiar Heavenly Voice Regulation Technique that was capable of communicating with the worldly essence. Thus they were able to call upon the worldly essence and use it as they like. Naturally, this was merely Xiao Chen’s wishful thinking.

The fight was very intense, rumbling noise echoed in the entire forest. A few purple lightning was actually dancing wildly in the woodland, many forest trees were destroyed by the lightning! Soon after, a light blade was moving back and forth in the woodland under the waterfall like a meteor. It caused the leaves in the mountain forest to flutter about, and countless forest trees to fall one after another.

The electric light flickered, more than half of the forest region was actually destroyed. A few human figures were faintly discernible, there were actually four to five people fighting against Lande, and Yan Qing Cheng haven’t even made her moves yet.

The noise of the fight attracted several practitioners, they were like a tiger watching their prey at the side.

“Rooooar……”

Not far away, a huge draconic sound was transmitted over. The ear-splitting sound wave caused the entire mountain forest to shake, and the dead leaves to swirl in the air, it was extremely terrifying. It frightened the mountain birds, causing them all to soar into the sky unceasingly. Many wild beasts flee in every directions, this region burst into a fit of chaos.

A vicious dragon was disturbed by the fight! It was very close to this area, it was in the valley only one mile away from here.

The fight in the vicinity of the waterfall ceased immediately, three party retreated in three different direction, quickly disappearing in the mountain forest. The vicious dragon didn’t chase after them, it only bellowed for a few times and finally calmed down. The dangerous situation in their imagination didn’t come to light.

However, Xiao Chen had a different ideas in mind, if he was to leave here, it just so happens that he needed to pass through that valley. He might as well go find out the situation of the vicious dragon, maybe there will be a nice surprise to be discovered.

The valley was not very wide, it was not even one square kilometer. The trees were very sparse in the valley, there were barely a few dozens of tall ancient trees. The other areas were flattened by the vicious dragon, not even a blade of grass grows.

Chapter 35 – Five Major Realms



Lande the blond-haired pretty boy ⌈1⌋, sneered faintly and said, “I advise you to leave the forest as soon as possible, if you lose your life due to curiosity, that is so not worth it!” This is the kind of attitude the experts used to “look down” on the weaklings, it was not as ineffective as the domineering aura of a conceited person, it was part of their instinct.

“Thanks for the reminder!” Xiao Chen immediately turned around and left. He was making supreme effort to contain his state of mind! Now is not the time to show off his strength, he believe some day in the future, everything will change when he get stronger.

If he didn’t suppress his power, and revealed his true strength, he could fight on equal ground with one person. However, he will certainly end up in defeat when facing two at once. Strength is everything! After getting far away from that area, Xiao Chen slowly calmed down, the fury in his heart already settled down. He knew, in the near future, they will inevitably fight!

Xiao Chen discovered many claw prints in the mountain woods nearby. It seemed like it was left behind by dragon claws. Moreover, it was a young dragon! Evidently, it was because of this, that Yan Qing Cheng and Lande turned this into a prohibited zone.

Not long later, Xiao Chen joined up with the three skeletons. They avoided the waterfall area and continued their journey.

After passing a small hill, Xiao Chen was able to smell the stench of blood in the woodland. A faint bloody mist was lingering in the forest, Xiao Chen and the three skeletons ran over there at high-speed. In the forest ahead of them, there were five to six corpses lying flat on the pool of blood. They hadn’t been dead for too long, it seems like a fierce fight was taking place here.

Evidently, more and more practitioners are coming ashore to this sealed Dragon Island!

Chasing after the tracks for some distance, Xiao Chen discovered a few traces of shadows in the forest. There were roughly a few dozens of people in the vicinity. Xiao Chen decided to keep away from here, he didn’t want to be involved in other people’s business.

However, just around this time, Xiao Chen felt a nonsensical fluctuation. He quickly turned around, and only saw a white-clothed monk approaching from the tip of a tree. His movement was fluid, and extremely graceful, it seemed as if he was just taking a stroll in the courtyard. However, his speed was very fast. That person was actually Buddhist Yizhen.

Clearly, Yizhen had also noticed Xiao Chen, he stopped slightly on the treetop, and then landed on the ground as light as a feather. When he saw the three skeletons, he shouted in astonishment, “Undead creatures.”

“Master, I didn’t expect we would encounter each other so soon.”

“Just call me Yizhen, it is a small world indeed. I already left behind some marks for my senior brother. I decided to investigate the borderline zone of the Dragon Island first.” Buddhist Yizhen turned his head to size up the three skeletons. After that, he faced Xiao Chen and said, “How did you end up with three undead creatures? Even though the practitioners on the mainland no longer treat them as a being that must be extinguished, it is still very hard for ordinary people and most of the experts to get buddy-buddy with the undead creatures. Staying together with them might incur some inconvenience.”

“Many thanks for Brother Yizhen’s reminder. They saved my life a few times, there are not many people on this Dragon Island, I believe there shouldn’t be too much problem.”

“That is also true.” Yizhen nodded his head.

When the two were in the middle of a conversation, the three skeletons stood there like puppets with blank expressions. Only Xiao Chen who understood them knew, these three undead creatures were truly, too capable of acting! They were definitely putting on a facade deliberately.

Xiao Chen pointed at the corpses not far away and said, “Brother Yizhen, take a look.”

“I already noticed. When I was on the way, I saw a few corpses in other areas too. Right now, the numbers of practitioner on this Dragon Island should be as many as twenty people. This sealed ancient island is very vast, maybe there are many more.” Speaking until here, he turned his head around to face Xiao Chen and said, “Yan Qing Cheng and Lande are also in this area, it seems like they discovered the tracks of a young dragon. Maybe it might really be the Syndicate Dragon. You better not get too close to them, those two are dangerous figures. I also don’t plan to compete with them. I intend to leave here immediately.”

“Oh, just how powerful is their ability? Xiao Chen was relatively concerned about the two in question. He felt that sooner or later, he might have to fight against the two of them! Moreover, it seemed like the time will not be far away.

“Right now, they should be in the third or fourth celestial layer of ‘Exuvia’ realm.”

“Exuvia?” Xiao Chen did not understand.

“Yes……”

After Buddhist Yizhen explained in detail, Xiao Chen gradually began to understand.

The world of immortals is vast and boundless, there are a great number of races, this also mean that there are many different kinds of training systems. Such as the Spell Master that draw the power from the venerable god, the ancient and mysterious Beast Soul Warrior ⌈2⌋, a psychic with powerful innate Spiritual Power and exotic ability, the terrifying demigod that was born from some small clans close to extinction……

If they didn’t have a power ranking to differentiate them, it would be really hard to tell just how powerful was an individual from a different training system. As a result, the power ranking was set up, but it didn’t include the ordinary practitioners. It divided the powerful experts into five major realms.

Most of the practitioners don’t have the qualifications to use these five realms to rank themselves. This was set up for the truly powerful experts, only when one delved into these five realms would they have the chance to challenge the legendary realm of immortality.

These five are: Exuvia, Historia, Zephyrus, Nirvana, and Immortalis! ⌈3

There are untold numbers of practitioners out there, only after they delved into the realm of “exuvia” could they be considered to have grasped the true essence of meditation. It was like a moat around the heaven, preventing numerous practitioners from advancing!

Exuvia, anyone who entered this realm could be regarded as “transcendence”. They distinguished themselves from the others by leaping over the “moat” blocking their path to heaven. Along the path to immortality, the first step was the most crucial point. The worldly power, physique, and base power of the practitioners who entered the realm of exuvia will grow and multiply without end.

Historia, one who entered this realm will begin to touch upon the wisdom of god. Their Spiritual Power will increase drastically, and starts to realize that one’s own body is a big treasure. Comprehending the wisdom of god and strengthening the physical body at the same time, one would slowly discover their body’s hidden potential. All kinds of divine ability will be unearthed with the passage of time. Historia was precisely a process of “knowing thyself”, it was a process of “opening one’s own treasure chest”!

Zephyrus, the Spell Master could already fly before reaching this realm. When one’s ability reached this realm, regardless of whether one is a wise man, a martial artist, or a practitioner who trained in other systems, one will be able to resist gravity and fly in the sky freely. Naturally, Zephyrus really isn’t only limited to its superficial meaning, the practitioner at the level of Zephyrus signifies that they had already attained perfect control of the worldly essence, and powered up their divine ability one step further. The practitioners who reached this level had the rights to name themselves as a demigod!

Nirvana, one who reached this realm will become neither dead or alive, their body and mind will be trapped in the brink of death. They will linger around the boundary of life and death to comprehend the profound meaning between life and death. If one thoroughly comprehended the secrets of life and death, they will become an immortal with one more step. However, if they failed, they might be consigned to eternal damnation, their body and soul will be entirely wiped out.

At the same time, the practitioners who are on this level, their ability are neither strong or weak. Their power is very unstable, when they are strong, they can unleash powers equivalent to Immortalis. When they are weak, their divine ability is even weaker than practitioners of Historia realm.

The realm of Nirvana was regarded by the practitioners as the greatest opportunity, but also the most ruthless one. Those who solved the riddles of life and death will break out of their cocoons and transform into butterflies. They will attain immortality and live on forever. Those who couldn’t comprehend the secrets will be annihilated at this point, it is a cruel reality.

Immortalis, those who reached this realm will no longer be bound by the laws of the mortal world, they will live on for a lifetime. Many different kinds of profound mysteries will be self-taught, their Magic Power will rush forth from within, and divine ability will manifest from oneself.

Exuvia, Historia, Zephyrus, Nirvana, Immortalis, these five major realms clearly distinguished the strength of every experts in the world.

Chapter 34 – Miraculous



A deafening roar transmitted from the valley over there, even though the Sacred Dragon has lost its divine ability, it is still a powerful beast even on this island. If it seriously went berserk in the mountain forest, destroying the valley was an easy feat. It is hard to imagine its situation now.

A glorious silvery light soared into the sky, the Sacred Dragon flew out of the valley, and hover above the mountain forest while bellowing in rage. It seemed to be searching for something as it kept swooping down, casting its large shadow on the surface. Using its pair of huge dragon wings like divine swords, it swept across the mountain forest. A large area of forest was destroyed in an instant, causing all kind of creatures to flee and yelp in a frenzy.

In the end, it finally arrived above the deathly swamp. The bellow of rage rang out unceasingly, its huge draconic body generated a surge of gale. The gale shook the huge trees and caused the leaves in the swamp to dance about wildly. However, it didn’t stop here for long and whizzed towards a distant place.

Xiao Chen exerted his strength to push Yanluo Wang and Qinguang Wang. However, they were still not moving an inch, the three skeletons which were playing dead on the ground seemed just like ordinary skeletal remains. Until a long time later, when this area finally reclaimed its former tranquility, did the three skeletons timidly sit up.

After stretching their joints, the three skeletons surrounded the huge tree and sat down. They raised their heads to gaze at the small sacred tree which has rooted to the huge tree. The spiritual lights in their skulls were pulsating unceasingly. In the end, the radiance emitted from the sacred tree actually flowed into their eye sockets.

There were seven colored-radiance lingering around divine sproutling. However, the three skeletons only absorbed the black radiance that was emitted by the crystal clear inky jade leaf. They are working hard to absorb the radiance circulating around the inky jade leaf.

That was indeed a sacred tree!

Xiao Chen was secretly surprised, he also started to operate his secret technique to try to absorb the dazzling radiance.

For a moment, the colorful radiance illuminated brilliantly, the glaring fog became denser, lighting up the gloomy swamp. Above the two jade leaves, the milky-white light beam and black light combined together, and entered every part of Xiao Chen’s body like a water ripple. Two portion of gentle divine mist surrounded him, he felt comfortably warm from head to toe. His entire body felt incomparably relaxed, it felt as if his inner organs, flesh, and bones were going through a divine baptism. The purest of energy slowly circulated around his entire body.

Xiao Chen and the three skeletons immersed themselves in some kind of fantastic and mysterious boundary. They slowly and effectively drew the pure energy. It lasted until the radiance slowly dimmed, only after the water-like light wave gradually diminished did each of them wake up respectively.

The multicolored light was still revolving around the sapling. However, the giant tree that it take root on was already dead!

The giant tree requires at least five to six people to wrap their arms around it. Its originally upright tree trunk actually lost all of its vitality, small cracks appeared all over the trunk. Its emerald green leaves also wilted, the yellow leaves were fluttering about as they were carried by the wind. In merely a moment, the originally vigorous ancient tree actually dried up completely!

Xiao Chen was gobsmacked, the three skeletons remained calm. Seems like they already knew this was going to happen, they easily plucked the sapling from the dried up giant tree, and then attached the sapling to the giant tree beside it. The glorious radiance go round and round.

One need not to think much to come to a conclusion, the tremendous energy from the sapling was actually absorbed from the ancient tree. Xiao Chen and the three skeletons just indirectly absorbed the ancient tree’s essence.

Such a miraculous and scary sapling!

The three skeletons seemed like they still wanted to continue absorbing the black radiance from the inky jade leaf. Xiao Chen stopped them, he is now preparing to bring the three skeletons to carry out an operation. They cannot waste too much time regarding the affairs with Gu Luo and Zhao Lin Er, they must settle it as soon as possible.

Hiding the sapling in a dark place within the swamp, Xiao Chen set off with the three skeletons.

The cries of the apes resounded in the dense forest, ferocious beasts could be seen everywhere. This terrifying island was thoroughly filled with dangers. In accordance with the direction he surmised, Xiao Chen and the gang proceeded.

However, even after half a day later, they still didn’t find a single clue.

In the afternoon, after they pass through a mountain range, the rumbling sound of water could be heard ahead of them. A big waterfall that resembled the milky way plunged down the mountain. A large amount of white water screen was hanging down, it generated an ear-splitting noise. Halfway up the mountain, a thick layer of mist pervaded the air. It was an extremely spectacular sight.

People couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration, many landscapes on the sealed Dragon Island were exceptionally beautiful!

When they approached the waterfall, Xiao Chen saw two familiar figures.

The exceptionally charming Yan Qing Cheng was standing in front of the majestic waterfall. She was lightly dressed in amethyst clothes, it was indescribably stylish and elegant. It was as if her exceptionally beautiful figure came directly from a fantasy dream. And that Divine Spell Master, Lande, with a head full of glorious blonde hair, the whole person looked like a dazzling sun.

This could not be left unsaid, these two people’s appearance were exceptional, their features were unworldly. They seemed to be a perfect pair.

The drizzle of water mist flowed down slowly. Xiao Chen halted his footsteps, the three skeletons were hiding in the woods behind him. Apparently, they could detect dangers ahead.

Evidently, Yan Qing Cheng who was standing on top of the precipice had noticed Xiao Chen already. She appeared exceedingly elegant under the flowing mist. However, as soon as she glimpsed at Xiao Chen, her face immediately distorted. She didn’t do it deliberately, this was a reaction directly from her heart. In front of this waterfall with no strangers on the scene, she need not hide her innermost impressions.

“Everyone ought to know their own place, only by staying within one’s bounds would one be able to survive. The Ancestral Dragon and Syndicate Dragon are not something everyone is capable to fight over!” The tone of Yan Qing Cheng’s voice was very beautiful. However, her voice was very cold.

Being despised by a world-class beauty, even Xiao Chen was not able to maintain his calm mood. The words from the opposing side contained a hint of killing intent. It made him felt humiliated, if possible, he really wanted to push forward with his sword!

However, he was not an impertinent man, nor was he a hot-headed youngster. In the real world, even if you could not tolerate it anymore, you still had to endure! It is not the time to let emotions affect one’s decisions now. Since coming to the world of immortals, he shouldn’t be making one enemy after another. The most important thing was that he didn’t have the ability to fight two experts at once.

“I am not interested in the Ancestral Dragon nor the Syndicate Dragon, I am merely taking a look around the island. If there is a ship departing from this island, I will leave accordingly.”

Chapter 33 – Seven-Colored Sacred Tree



Qinguang Wang was extremely daring, it actually hinted Xiao Chen to go forward together. Since they were already here, there was nothing else to be scared of. Xiao Chen advanced along with the three skeletons, walking into the stone forest.

It was really that Sacred Dragon, looking at this huge monster in close distance make one feels even more sure of its tyrannical strength. Its huge draconic body seemed as if it was made out of silver. Moreover, there was a layer of divine radiance lingering on its body, making this stone forest appear incomparably dazzling.

When the Sacred Dragon confronted the Fallen Angel, it transformed into a human body once. Except that time, the multicolored light filled the entire sky, Xiao Chen wasn’t able to see its human figure and appearance clearly. When he looked at the huge silver draconic body now, it was very hard to link it together with that nimble human figure at the horizon.

The Sacred Dragon’s posture was a bit strange, its draconic wings were tightly folded on its back, its rear legs were in a crouching position, its body was supported by the front claws. Instead of prostrating, it was more fitting to describe it as kowtowing. Its silver draconic head was hanging low on the ground, the shiny dragon horn was touching the ground.

And it actually fell asleep in this position. Judging from its expression, it seemed extremely zealous and satisfied!

What is going on here?

All of a sudden, Xiao Chen discovered in front of where the Sacred Dragon was crouching, a faint radiance circulating within the stone forest. He took a detour to go around the silver Sacred Dragon with the three skeletons, they arrived in the stone forest four or five meter ahead of the dragon head.

A sapling that was found growing within the stone forest. Its height was only as tall as the palm of a hand. However, seven-colored radiance was lingering on its only two leaves. The sapling emitted waves of powerful fluctuation.

It was a miraculous sapling!

Even though it was only as tall as a palm, anyone who laid eyes on it for the first time would thought it was a small tree, and not a flower! The “tree trunk” that was as thick as a thumb coiled around like a young dragon. It didn’t give people the feeling that it was an immature tree. On the contrary, it possessed an unyielding vibe like an ancient tree that has been through the vicissitudes of time!

In the middle of the crooked tree trunk, there was a black leaf, glittering with black light. It was sparkling and translucent, as if it was carved out of an inky jade. And on top of the tree trunk, there was a newly grown leaf. It was actually milky white, the leaf was crystal clear, as if it was carved out of a suet white jade 1⌋. A glittering luster was twirling around the sapling, no words can describe how magical it seemed.

The same trunk actually produced two divine leaves of different colors, it was really bizarre. Moreover, there was other colorful radiance lingering around the sapling. One couldn’t help but think, will there be a new colored-leaves if more were produced?

The sapling was really too mysterious, since it resembled a sproutling brimming with unlimited vitality, and yet it also resembled an ancient divine artifact that has been through endless vicissitudes of time.

The three skeletons looked at one another again and again, then they looked at Xiao Chen simultaneously, and they actually hinted him to…… scoop out the sapling!

Xiao Chen shook his head repeatedly, this sacred tree was extraordinary. If the rhizome was damaged during the excavation, that be the prime example of wasting natural resources recklessly. Besides, they are now on the Dragon Island, where could they have transplanted it?

Seeing that Xiao Chen was not moving, Lunhui Wang was about to go dig out the sapling carelessly. Qinguang Wang and Yanluo Wang was about to move their hands too.

Xiao Chen hastily stopped them from digging. In the end, he clenched his teeth and decided to dig! Rather than letting them degrade it, he might as well dig it himself. A sapling even the Sacred Dragon prostrated itself to worship shouldn’t be an ordinary item. Let’s dig it first and put off the discussion until later!

After an incomparably careful excavation, along with a big chunk of earth, Xiao Chen successfully excavated the beaming sapling. Then he turned around and dashed out of the valley without looking back.

The three skeletons were more like a thief, they followed after Xiao Chen and getaway without leaving any traces behind.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

World of immortals, at the boundless south sea, the bluish-green wave shot towards the sky, and surging forward with great momentum.

Dragon Island, it was like a green pearl in the abyss of the ocean. The entire island was emerald-green, verdant and lush, brimming with unlimited vitality, the tall ancient trees and millennium old vines could be seen everywhere. The howling noise of the monsters rise and fall in succession. This is an ancient island that had been sealed for countless years.

Xiao Chen was holding the sacred tree that was the height of a palm on his head. He rushed out of the valley in high-speed, his body was enveloped by a glorious radiance, it was like a throbbing flame. His speed was extremely fast, he only left behind afterimages in the mountain forest. He arrived at the deathly swamp in only a few moment.

The three skeletons were also making their getaway without leaving a trace on the whole journey. As if they could feel something was about to happen, they turned their head to look around stealthily while running.

Sunlight was blocked by the dense ancient trees in the deathly swamp, making this place incomparably gloomy. Looking at the three skeletons who rushed over soon after, Xiao Chen felt somewhat suspicious. What were these three undead creatures so flustered about? Did something happened?

Even if he was suspicious, it was also not easy to communicate with the three skeletons. He attempted to inquire several times, but Qinguang Wang, Yanluo Wang, and Lunhui Wang, only answered by shaking their heads or waving their hands. After arriving at the deathly swamp, their nervousness faded away.

Xiao Chen did not believe the three skeletons were simple-minded. Since that time they pretended as dead bones to ambush Gu Luo, he already treated them as creatures with equal intelligent.

Seeing all kinds of expression on them today, it seemed like they already knew about the existence of the sacred tree long ago. But why are they only making their moves today? Suddenly, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but shivers, could these three really be that sinister? Did they just shifted the blame onto that Sacred Dragon that just fell onto the Dragon Island today, and used it as a scapegoat? This sacred tree seemed…… to have a guardian!

Within the gloomy swamp, seven colored radiance curled around the palm sized mysterious sapling. The coiling “tree trunk” was as upright and strong as a young dragon. Two crystal clear jade leaves of different colors were gleaming with divine luster.

Now, the most crucial part is to find an appropriate place to plant this divine sproutling. If they let this kind of divine artifact wilt and die, that would truly be a sin. However, where would be a suitable spot? Xiao Chen found it was very difficult task to accomplish. The deathly swamp was filled with dense negative energy. Moreover, the miasma spread throughout the swamp when night fall. This place was very unsuitable.

The three skeletons gathered around Xiao Chen, they seemed to be very interested in this sacred tree. The bony claws stretched forward simultaneously, they actually wanted to pluck off the inky jade leaf. Xiao Chen hastily stopped them, they really doesn’t know how to use things sparingly. These three skeletons really make one feel somewhat speechless.

As if they knew Xiao Chen was worried about where to plant the sacred tree, Lunhui Wang pulled his sleeve and hinted Xiao Chen to follow it into the swamp. Walking until they arrived at a hidden location, the three skeletons casually pointed at a giant tree, then they pointed at the divine sproutling.

Seeing that Xiao Chen did not understand, Qinguang Wang simply pulled Xiao Chen’s hand, making him stick the sacred tree onto the giant tree. Something amazing happened around this time, those crystal clear roots of the sapling automatically extended from the soil that Xiao Chen was holding. After that, it actually emitted a bright radiance, and take root in the tree trunk of the giant tree!

Now Xiao Chen knows for sure, these three skeletons must have seen this sapling before. Otherwise, how would they know so much regarding its magical properties.

Multicolored radiance curled up, the dense demonic aura was no longer present in the gloomy woodland. A palm-sized sapling actually made this place lighten up.

And just around this time, a burst of draconic roar could be heard from a few miles away. Xiao Chen jumped above the crown of an enormous ancient tree to survey the distant from an elevated position. He discovered the origin of the voice was really from the valley where they excavated the sapling earlier. It seemed like the Sacred Dragon ran into some trouble, the draconic roars pierced through the skies.

The three skeletons in the deathly swamp quickly separated from one another by mutual understanding. They conveniently lay beside a pile of white bones in the swamp, not even moving an inch, acting as if they were just ordinary skeletal remains.

Seeing all of these, Xiao Chen was dumbstruck, these three skeletons were actually playing dead. At the same time, it became obvious that his speculation was right on the mark. The three skeletons already knew about the existence of the divine sproutling, it seems like they really used the Sacred Dragon as a scapegoat this time…… these three sinister skeletons were really scheming……



 

Chapter 32 – The Genuine World of Immortals



The Sacred Dragon continuously fired off its spell, one after another dazzling radiance lit up in the sky. At the same time, its pair of wings were like two huge divine swords slashing vertically in the air, pitting itself against the Fallen Angel.

A terrifying power fluctuated violently, everyone on the ground could clearly feel that, this was definitely a spectacular battle!

After hearing Buddhist Yizhen’s explanation in a low voice, Xiao Chen had roughly understood the circumstances of these Fallen Angel.

Fallen Angels were an ancient race whose strength almost rivalled that of the gods. Even though their population was as rare as phoenix feather and unicorn horn, their military power was incomparably strong. Some experts among them could even be considered an esteemed god!

Many of the weak races in the world of immortals treated them as if they were gods. This caused some dismay for the esteemed gods of some exotic tribes. Rumor has it that they were almost exterminated, it has already been a few centuries since they made an appearance in the mainland.

An ancient deity clan!

The more Xiao Chen learned, the more mysterious the world of immortals appeared to him.

“The fight between two demigod-like existence are actually this intense!” Buddhist Yizhen was deeply moved.

Yaluo De, the young expert from Jungle Tribe, said in a surprise, “The Sacred Dragon is obviously no match for the Fallen Angel, her strategy is very cruel indeed. It was her who forced the Sacred Dragon here, perhaps she wanted to banish it to the Dragon Island!”

Chaos, the three meter tall young expert from Barbarian Tribe, nodded in agreement and said, “That must be it, even if the Winged Dragon race hasn’t been sealed. As long as they fell into the Dragon Island, they will also lose their divine ability eternally!”

“Roar……” The Sacred Dragon growled unceasingly. In the end, it actually transform into a human body. Crossing the glittering fog that spiralled around the entire sky, it engaged in a fierce fight with the Fallen Angel within the bright fog. The terrifying fluctuation of energy encompassed every directions. It seems many of the dragons on the Dragon Island finally noticed the disturbance, the bellow of dragons could be heard from the depths of the island.

In the end, the Sacred Dragon was forced to revert back to its huge draconic body. It let out an extremely angry roar as it fell towards the Dragon Island. Its pair of wings were wounded by the huge energy broadsword of the Fallen Angel. At the same time, it received a large-scale dark energy attack on its body.

The fight was concluded with this, the few people who observed the fight knew, once the Sacred Dragon entered the Dragon Island, it will lose its divine ability forever. From now on, it will lose its divinity and exhibit more of its beastly nature.

The Fallen Angel also didn’t dare to approach the Dragon Island. After achieving victory, she transformed into black light and disappeared beyond the horizon.

A long time later, there was still not a single sound to be heard from the coconut grove. This kind of fight between demigods clearly made the few onlookers incomparably shocked.

The tall and strong expert with a steel-like body from Barbarian Tribe, Chaos, was the first to speak, “Demigod is indeed demigod!” After that, he faced Yan Qing Cheng, Lande, and Yizhen, and said to the three of them, “Since everyone already reached the Dragon Island safe and sound, we will go our separate way from now on. I will go with Yaluo De.”

The expert from Jungle Tribe, Yaluo De, nodded his head slightly as he faced Yan Qing Cheng and the other two. Then he took large strides towards the depths of the island with Chaos. One was three meter tall and looked as sturdy as a gigantic ape, while the other had a frail body that was as fragile as a willow tree. It was a very bizarre combination, but the Barbarian Tribe and Jungle Tribe had been close friends for many generations. Moreover, their ability have a huge compatibility. So it doesn’t appear weird even if they walked together.

Xiao Chen laughed at himself mockingly, the two who just left seemed to have completely ignored him.

The Western Spell Master, Lande, who was as bright as a golden sun, faced Buddhist Yizhen and said with a faint smile, “Master Yizhen, I decided to form a party with Fairy Qing Cheng, will you join us?”

The peerless Yan Qing Cheng also revealed a smile that was sufficient to drive every living things crazy as she said, “Senior brother Yizhen, if you join us, the three of us will certainly be benefited greatly.”

Buddhist Yizhen came from the Bodhidharma’s faction. Since Laozi, Gautama, and various other powerful experts disappeared, Bodhidharma had already become the most renowned expert in the East. Even the immortal Undying Demon King, Pavilon, doesn’t dare to rashly point his sword at Bodhidharma. The people from Bodhidharma’s faction would naturally be regarded as important as well.

“Heh heh, no need. One of my senior brother might come to Dragon Island too, I better wait for him at the coast for a few days first.”

“If that is the case, we will go ahead first.” Lande and Yan Qing Cheng waved at Yizhen, and disappeared in the depths of the coconut grove. They seemed to have forgotten about Xiao Chen’s existence.

Xiao Chen only laughed at himself without saying a single word. In reality, strength represented everything. If only he was a famous expert whose name has shaken the heavens, nobody would dare to act so disrespectful towards him. However, he will never indulge in self-pity. Only time will testify everything, it is hard to say who will become the invincible expert in the end.

After gathering enough sea salt, Xiao Chen parted with Buddhist Yizhen who was still waiting at the coast. He must dispose of Gu Luo and Zhao Lin Er as soon as possible, so as to avoid any unforeseen event to happen. Even demigod like the Fallen Angel and Sacred Dragon have appeared, one can imagine just how chaotic the Dragon Island will inevitably become. In just a few more days, there will certainly be a large quantities of experts hurried over in succession to fight over the Ancestral Dragon and Syndicate Dragon King. This place will turn into a war zone!

As soon as he got close to the deathly swamp, the three skeletons; Qinguang Wang, Yanluo Wang, and Lunhui Wang, came out of the jungle without making any sound. These three undead creatures had really taken Xiao Chen as their companion.

In his amazement, Xiao Chen discovered that the three skeletons seemed like they wanted to transmit some kind of message to him. Their jaws opened and closed, generating a clacking sound unceasingly. They used their snow-white bony claws to gestures simultaneously. At last, they even pulled him along a certain direction. Their speed were so fast, it was as if they were flying.

Could it be that they already found Zhao Lin Er and Gu Luo? Xiao Chen quickly thought about this kind of possibility.

Passing through the dense mountain forest, moving forward for roughly three miles, the three skeletons brought Xiao Chen before a valley. He had never come to this place previously. Relatively speaking, that was an unfamiliar place to him.

In the surrounding of the valley, even though the forest was very dense, there was rarely any ferocious beasts roaming about. Relying on his common sense, Xiao Chen concluded that a terrifying beast must be dwelling nearby. After carefully surveying his surrounding, he discovered quite a few claw prints outside of the valley. They seemed to be…… the claw prints of a dragon!

Within the valley was a wide expanse of stone forest, there was no hint of any vegetation. Apart from the entrance, all the other sides were all precipitous stone wall. Xiao Chen’s sharp intuition perceived a formidable dragon aura.

Lunhui Wang used its bony claw to hint Xiao Chen to look forward. Within that incomparably wide stone forest, a supreme huge silver monster was prostrating there!

That was…… a dragon!

Even though he cannot see the entire body, he felt a sense of déjà vu. Xiao Chen took a moment to recall, it might possibly be the Sacred Dragon that was fighting with the Fallen Angel earlier! He could hear the faintly discernible light snores of the dragon, that huge silver dragon seemed to be fast asleep.

Chapter 31 – Winged Dragon VS Demigod


The fourth person was a tall and handsome youngster. It was the young expert who was flying in the sky earlier. His seemed to be roughly twenty or so years old, his long golden hair was as bright and beautiful as a golden flame. And his skin was so pretty, it was as if it was finely crafted out of precious jade. His entire person emitted a noble aura, even if he was standing in a sea of people, it still wouldn’t take a long time for people to start noticing him, because he was as bright as a golden sun.

Buddhist Yizhen whispered, “Lande, a young expert from the Western clan. He is a Divine Spell Master, this kind of practitioner is also known as Spell Master. It is said that they can borrow the power from their venerable god.”

Xiao Chen was very envious of Spell Master Lande’s ability to fly in the sky. As a Martial Artist himself, he wanted to ride the wind and fly in the sky. The path ahead is extremely long and complicated.

When both parties already gathered together, Buddhist Yizhen laughed as he introduced, “Allow me to introduce a new friend to everyone, this is Xiao Chen who came from the human world.”

The four who just entered the coconut grove were astonished, they gazed at Xiao Chen with amazement.

Xiao Chen knew they have misunderstood, so he explained, “I didn’t distort the dimension and come here by myself, it was only an accident that I was brought here.”

As soon as the four heard the brief explanation, their expression loosened and no longer paying attention to Xiao Chen. Evidently, the four didn’t care about Xiao Chen, they were not as friendly as Buddhist Yizhen. They didn’t even bother to say as much as a single word to him.

Xiao Chen laughed at himself mockingly, the world of immortals was just like the human world. Without any background, nobody would pay much attention to you.

“Roar……”

An ear-splitting dragon roar resounded from the depths of the ocean. That roar resembled the rumble of the thunder. The sea waves rise and fall violently, two distant big ships on the sea quickly fell apart. A huge draconic figure could be seen rampaging over there, it destroyed the ships as easily as breaking a dried up rotten stick.

“Those are our ships!” Chaos, the young expert from the Barbarian Tribe shouted angrily, the muscles on his entire body tightly packed together. He was emitting a dangerous beastly aura.

“The distance is too far, our people might not make it to the coast. It will be somewhat troublesome to leave this island hereafter.” The voice of the young expert from the Jungle Tribe, Yaluo De, was very easy-going. He doesn’t seem to feel anxious at all.

Buddhist Yizhen looked at the huge draconic figure in the ocean and said, “Not long later, there will be even more practitioners coming to this Dragon Island. At that time, we can ask them to give us a ride.”

“Roar…… Roar……”

Everyone slowly started to feel that something is fishy, the Eight-Clawed Tyrant Dragon already disappeared in the ocean a while ago, but the roar of a dragon could be heard from time to time. Moreover, the voice seemed a little different from that overlord of the ocean.

The white-clothed Buddhist Yizhen pointed his finger at a distant sky and shouted in surprise, “There’s an expert brawling with a dragon!”

The few young experts at the coast were incomparably shocked!

At a distant horizon, one dragon was spiralling in the sky while engaging in a fierce fight with a human figure. A dazzling divine radiance burst forth from time to time.

An expert capable of fighting against a dragon, even if one was not a god, they shouldn’t be too far behind!

The fight in the sky was very intense, one bright rays of light break out one after another. One man and one dragon gradually get closer to the island from the distant sky. They can see the battle progress clearly now.

That is a Winged Dragon, it could stretch up to fifteen meter. The dragon scales all over its body were flickering with glorious radiance. It was emitting an unearthly pressure, as soon as the Winged Dragon get close to the island, the beastly roar in borderline zone of the island immediately faded away.

This was absolutely one formidable beast, its pair of draconic wings could stretch up to thirty meter when unfolded. Its wide shadow covered an extensive amount of land, the gale generated by its flapping wings could even be felt on the surface.

What makes Xiao Chen the most baffled was that, this silver dragon that emitted divine radiance was able to freely use its divine ability. It seemed like this dragon was different from the rest of the sealed dragon races.

One after another terrifying lightning shoot out from its mouth frenzily. The rumbling of the thunders resounded throughout the horizon, it was truly ear-splitting.The terrifying electric light interlinked in the sky, covering the entire sky with frightening lightning!

In addition, the Winged Dragon also discharged its sacred fire unceasingly, filling the entire sky with raging flames. The raging flames seemed like it would burn the void itself. The entire sky was transformed into a sea of flames, spreading a terrifying aura over a vast expanse!

“Master Yizhen, didn’t you say all the dragon races had been sealed? How come that Winged Dragon can use its divine ability freely?” Xiao Chen couldn’t help but ask.

“Winged Dragon? I haven’t heard that name in a long time, I nearly forget its name.” Yizhen explained while looking at the fight in the sky, “At present, on the vast and boundless mainland, they already become the trademark of the dragon races. The ordinary people just called it ‘dragon’. I forgot to tell you, they are the only dragon race that has not been sealed. They are one of the strongest creature on the mainland now. A fully grown Winged Dragon is as powerful as a Demigod. However, their population is really small, it is very rare to encounter them.”

According to Xiao Chen’s knowledge, among the ancient dragon race, the Winged Dragon was far from the strongest species. And yet, they still possessed such unreasonable strength, then just how formidable would a genuine powerful ancient dragon race be? But the other dragon races had been sealed, the only Winged Dragon race that had been exempted turned into the ‘dragon’ in ordinary people’s eyes.

Buddhist Yizhen continued, “The Winged Dragons can also be divided into a few type, such as the Black Dragon, the Sacred Dragon, the Golden Dragon, and so on. Apparently, they are originated from the Western Clan, you can inquire from Spell Master Lande. Surely, he should know more than me.”

The golden-haired youth, Lande, was very handsome, he was as dazzling as a golden sun. His sapphire-colored eyes swept Xiao Chen a glance, whether it was because the fight in the sky was too fascinating, or he thought it was not worth the time explaining to Xiao Chen, his expression was somewhat cold.

“The human figure that is fighting with the Sacred Dragon is actually a Fallen Angel!” Yaluo De from the Jungle Tribe involuntarily shouted, “Fallen Angel didn’t made an appearance in the world for more than a few centuries already, I didn’t expect we could catch a glimpse of their figure here!”

The Sacred Dragon’s huge body was flickering with holy radiance from beginning to end, and the human figure that was fighting with it was covered by a black fog. Only now did the few people on the ground see her true body clearly.

Her long jet-black hair fluttered like a waterfall, even though they could not see her appearance clearly, her devilish-like figure was really exceedingly enticing.

Half of her exquisite body was naked, and the other half was covered by an almost transparent black clothing. Her outstanding twin peaks, her slim waist, her perfectly round buttocks, her slender snow-white legs. Her beauty was out of the world, all living things who gazed her would turn upside down.

Of course, the thing that drew the most attention was that angel’s elegant and delicate back. There was actually a pair of black wings growing from her back. As she emitted waves after waves of dark radiance, a powerful energy fluctuation raged in the sky. It actually extinguished the thunders and raging flames coming straight at her.

The Fallen Angel’s strength was formidable, at the same time, her posture was very elegant. Even though she was in the middle of an intense fight, the way she linked up various kind of fighting styles was like a beautiful black swan dancing gracefully in the sky.

The huge Sacred Dragon actually didn’t dominate the fight. On the contrary, it was being suppressed by the beautiful Fallen Angel. Her pair of slender lily-white hands were holding a huge ten meter long energy broadsword. A black fog drifted about, the sword ray suddenly exploded, illuminating the entire sky.

Chapter 30 – Legend of Dragons



“Exotic tribe…… venerable gods?”

“Right, in the future you might see a giant as tall as twenty meter, a perfect entity that has life span of more than thousand years, as well as races that are born with a pair of wings.”

Xiao Chen suddenly asked, “How did the legendary Bodhidharma, Dugu Qiubai, Lang Fan Yun, and the rest fare with the god?”

Yizhen nodded his head and said, “These outstanding figures that broke the boundaries between life and death, perhaps they can already be considered gods a long time ago.”

“Master Yizhen, may I be a little bold to ask, do you have some important business on this Dragon Island?”

Yizhen laughed as he said, “I dare not to claim myself as a master, just call me Yizhen. I came here to try my luck, to see whether or not I can find the ancestral dragon.”

Xiao Chen exposed an astonished expression, he asked somewhat hesitantly, “Ancestral Dragon? Could you be referring to the totem of the human world? Aren’t those just an imaginary existence from the legend?”

The so-called Ancestral Dragon was the legendary Divine Dragon in the human world. Since the ancient time, the imperial household had always considered oneself as the descendant of the Divine Dragon. However, the Divine Dragon had never made an appearance in the real world once. Unlike the Tyrannical Dragon, Winged Dragon, Thunder Dragon, and so on that once existed in this world. The later generation believed it was nothing more than a fictional existence.

Buddhist Yizhen said seriously, “The Ancestral Dragon really existed, but it seems like there can only be one in existence in a single era. There had never been two in existence at the same time. It is the king among dragons, perhaps it was given birth by the Tyrannical Dragon, or maybe the Saber Dragon…… any dragon had the possibility to give birth to it. Since it was an infant, it struggled amongst the group of young dragons, constantly transforming itself, changing its original form, until it defeated a great number of dragons, and transform into the Ancestral Five-Clawed Dragon.”

“If that is the case, then the Ancestral Dragon was not birthed from the nature. It was transformed from one of the thousands of dragon after it rise above the others in a continuous struggle?”

“That’s right, any young dragon have the possibility of transforming into the Ancestral Dragon! However, the real Ancestral Dragon was already determined since infancy. It possesses extraordinary gifts and is easy to identify.” Buddhist Yizhen gazed at the Dragon Island and continued, “The prophet from every clan in the mainland had predicted, an Ancestral Dragon will be born on the Dragon Island. The seal on the Dragon Island might possibly be broken by its existence.” ⌈1

The Dragon Island, as the name implies, it was the dwelling of numerous dragons. Many ancient dragon races were sealed on this island, it met all the requirements to bring about the Ancestral Dragon.

If the ancient dragon race were not suppressed, they could even confront a god! Then that legendary Ancestral Dragon…… will be even more frightening! If that was the case, it was easy to imagine why Wang Zi Feng and Gu Luo came to this island for. If they can subdue the Ancestral Dragon during its infancy period, it would be hard to imagine just what kind of future awaits!

Buddhist Yizhen smiled as he shook his head, then he said, “To track down the Ancestral Dragon is simply too unreasonable. As long as I can find a Syndicate Dragon King, it will be more than sufficient.”

“Syndicate Dragon King?”

“Whenever an Ancestral Dragon was born, a few Syndicate Dragon King will come into existence. Their strength is not much inferior to the Ancestral Dragon, they are the best whetstone for honing the Ancestral Dragon. They are gifted with extraordinary talents like the Ancestral Dragon since infancy period, it will be easy to identify them. They can also constantly transform in the middle of their fight. They are the Ancestral Dragon’s most powerful adversary and arch-enemy. There are even some legends of a young Syndicate Dragon King who killed the original Ancestral Dragon, and replaced its position as the most venerable dragon.”

“The path of the Ancestral Dragon is rather cruel!” Xiao Chen heaved a sigh.

“That’s right, it is very cruel. Otherwise it wouldn’t have to strength to combat the gods!”

Xiao Chen suddenly thought of something, since the Ancestral Dragon was so formidable, will those outstanding figures who had already achieved immortality come to seek for the young Ancestral Dragon? Regarding this question, Yizhen’s answer makes Xiao Chen feel that this Dragon Island was all the more bizarre.

After the Dragon Island had been sealed, not only the dragon race would lose their Divine Ability, even the gods who break into the island would meet the same fate. However, after the the venerable gods left the island, they can still recover after a long period of recuperation. The dragon race was not that lucky, therefore, the stronger they were, the lower the possibility of them entering the Dragon Island.

Besides, the surrounding thousand miles of sea area was also affected. It was a deathly region under normal circumstances, it was extremely difficult to get through. It was not called the Taboo Ocean just for show, only in the intervals of every few centuries would the deathly region around the Taboo Ocean disappear for a period of time. It just so happens to be one of the cycle now, one can go through the sea area unhindered for the time being.

“Master Yizhen, could it be that you crossed the ocean by yourself?”

Yizhen shook his head and said, “This island is a few thousand miles away from the mainland, even I do not have the ability to cross the ocean by myself. I embarked on this journey with a few other practitioners. We found out from the notes of the previous generation that the sea area around the island also have fierce dragons. Therefore, we started to move into action by the time we got close to the island. I am merely one step ahead of the others.”

As the two were talking, a few human figures appeared in the middle of the bluish green ocean. They were approaching this location from all directions, some were using secret technique to move the small boat at lightning speed, there were also some who were riding on a flying scroll. But what makes Xiao Chen the most surprised was that golden-haired youth who was flying in midair.

As if he could see through Xiao Chen’s amazement, Buddhist Yizhen explained, “That is a Divine Spell Master from the Western clan. It is said that they can borrow the power of the venerable god they are devoted to.”

A few human figures quickly darted on top of the beach, they were very shocked when they saw Buddhist Yizhen standing together with a tall and heroic-looking youth.

Xiao Chen was also sizing them up, the few of them appeared to be quite distinguished amongst their generation. All of them had a noteworthy constitution.

A beautiful girl will always attract other people’s attention, and a captivating beauty who can even outshine the beauty of the bright moon, will always be people’s focal point. Among the four who got onto the beach, there was one particular beautiful girl who was just like this. Her beauty was not the slightest bit inferior to Zhao Lin Er.

“Yan Qing Cheng, the disciple of Undying Demon King.” ⌈2⌋ The two were still a distance apart, Yizhen introduced them by himself in whispers.

It was a very special name, but that name was very fitting. ⌈3⌋ Her elegant jade-like body seemed like the most perfect masterpiece under the Heaven. If she was standing in a field of flower, it was likely that the hundreds of flowers would lose their splendor. The amethyst dress makes her snow-like skin appeared even more tender and lovely. Her long black hair naturally draped over her shoulders. Under her long, long eyelashes, her pair of eyes were brimming with intelligence. Her beautiful nose sticking up, her red moist lips, her jade-like teeth, and her unrivalled complexion make it seems like there was a thin layer of mist enveloping her, as if she was a hallucination from one’s wildest dream.

Yan Qing Cheng, it was almost impossible for people to forget about her, such a beautiful and exceptional woman will make anyone who laid their eyes on her for the first time to carve her appearance deep into their heart.

However, Xiao Chen felt the situation was not too encouraging. This girl might become his arch-enemy, Yan Qing Cheng was most likely the junior apprentice of Wang Zi Feng, who was killed by him personally!

Yan Qing Cheng was very breathtaking, and others couldn’t help but pay attention to her. The last person who arrived on the beach cannot be said to be pretty or handsome, but it was just as hard not to pay attention to that individual.

This person was actually three meter tall, he was much taller than any ordinary person. His brownish-yellow long hair draped over his shoulders messily. He had thick eyebrows and leopard-like eyes, his appearance was rough. Moreover, he actually had a pair of wolf-like ears. In addition, he had a long, large and powerful tiger tail. This makes Xiao Chen incomparably shocked.

Buddhist Yizhen whispers to Xiao Chen, “Chaos [Kǎi ào], a young expert from the Barbarian Tribe. The population of the Barbarian Tribe is sparse, but they are natural born warriors. Their raw strength are tremendous, legend says there is an ancient and powerful Spiritual Beast sealed within their body. Therefore, they are also referred as the Beastman.”

Xiao Chen looked at the three meter tall Chaos, imagining his powerful burst of strength, as well as his unknown terrifying Spiritual Beast. This kind of person was certainly incomparably fierce and bold.

The sound of the flowing sands reverberated from the beach, one after another green vines actually emerged from the underground. That was a really shocking scene, the vines revolved around the front of a youngster. Originally, he appeared to be very normal, just one of the four people who were walking on the beach. He was hardly eye-catching, but now he was actually the center of attention.

“There is a really bizarre power at work here, my Spiritual Power received interference!”

Hearing the verdict of the youngster, the few people on the scene creased their eyebrows. Buddhist Yizhen explained to Xiao Chen in a low voice, “Yaluo De, a young expert from the Jungle Tribe. Their tribe have the power to manipulate plants with Spiritual Power.”

Yaluo De had a long dark green hair, even his pupils were also light green in color. His appearance was very normal, his body seemed really frail, but Xiao Chen didn’t dare to look down on him. In merely a split second, the beach was already overflowing with lush greenery. This youth from an exotic tribe had some extremely peculiar abilities. His attacking method should be just as special.

Chapter 29 – Bequeathing the Legend of God



Gu Luo’s miserable scream resounded in the horizon, the sharp pain makes him unable to keep his balance in the sky. The scroll was wobbling as it carried him forward, it was actually losing altitude constantly.

Xiao Chen stepped on the tip of the tree, leaping from the crown of one tree to another, his body transformed into a blur. After chasing for a few dozens of meter, he launched the second sword!

The bright longsword emitted a dazzling radiance, like a meteor that glides through the sky, it left behind a trail of light as it hits Gu Luo!

“Plop!”

Watery blood sprinkled everywhere, the second sword hit the target again!

This sword directly pierced Gu Luo’s chest, it nearly took his life! An earsplitting scream resounded in the sky, the blood flowed down from the sky like a waterfall. Gu Luo was heavily wounded and on the verge of dying, he directed the scroll with all his remaining strength to fly towards a distant location at high-speed.

Under the bright moonlight, Xiao Chen was standing on the highest point of the tree, he faced upwards and let out a long howl. His long hair danced about hysterically, his eyes were as sharp as the blade of a sword, he finally turned the entire situation around tonight. After clearing all the malice in his heart, he need not to flee anymore.

Qinguang Wang, Yanluo Wang, and Lunhui Wang climbed up the tree, and arrived at Xiao Chen’s side. Under the moonlight, the three snow-white skeletons fixed their gaze on the bright moon in the sky. The spiritual light in their skull fluctuated, seemingly to recall something……

……

……

……

The latter half of the night, the roar of the beast was gone, it was especially calm in the mountain forest. The gentle moonlight spread throughout the entire forest, like a really huge feather of pure white. The mountain forest was harmonious and tranquil.

Xiao Chen seated cross-legged on the tree crown, he started to operate the mysterious technique of his to draw in the moonlight. The essence of the moonlight was flowing unhurriedly like the water ripples, a faint divine fog was circulating around the treetop, making this place appear especially auspicious and peaceful.

After an intense fight, Xiao Chen’s body was already running out of gas 1⌋, the essence of the pure moonlight energy was assimilated by his body unceasingly. The essence of the moonlight replenished the energy of his dried up body.

The three skeletons were also quietly refining the crystals Xiao Chen had provided them. Their snow-white framework gained another layer of luster, especially their skulls which were set off by the spiritual lights. Their skulls appeared crystal clear, as if they were transformed into jade.

This was a really peaceful and tranquil night……

The light of the stars in the night sky gradually became weaker, a speck of red light gradually exposed itself from the East. The dawn approached, the bird was the first to get up in the peaceful primitive forest. The pleasing birdsong was melodious and sweet-sounding, after that the roar of the beast sounded unceasingly.

Xiao Chen’s entire body was enveloped by a hazy radiance, a few birds were hopping around him and chirping happily. He already became one with nature. It last until he opened his pair of eyes, the forest birds were startled and flew off like rockets. He could feel a surge of qi-energy all over his body, the glorious radiance constantly circulated around the surface of his body.

He washed the bloodstains all over his body at a limpid streamlet 2⌋ nearby. After eating a incomparably sumptuous breakfast, he led the three skeletons and be on their way.

A group of huge elephants galloping, a divine panther with a pair of wings, a huge golden centipede with body as thick as a bucket, a three-headed tiger overlord that was as big as a small hill, the howl of huge and terrifying beasts could be heard during the whole journey. It echoed in the primitive ancient forest unceasingly.

Passing through layer upon layers of mountain forest, Xiao Chen brought the three skeletons back to his previous dwelling place. Beside the sapphire-like small lake, the bluish-green bamboo house was still standing upright, emitting the sweet scent of plants. The wisterias meandering around the lake, discharging the fragrance of flowers and plants.

They didn’t stop over here, they passed through the dense woodland and arrived at the coast. Xiao Chen began to bask the sea salt under the sun, he was preparing to go after Zhao Lin Er and Gu Luo after gathering enough.

The early morning sunlight was golden-bright and dazzling, the three skeletons hate the sunshine very much, they hid under the shade of the coconut grove nearby, unwilling to come out. Xiao Chen used the coconut shell to collect seawater to make the sea salt by himself. However, just around this time, he discovered a human figure in the ocean.

A white-clothed man was dashing towards him from the depths of the ocean at lightning speed, he was like a divine fish rending the sea waves! The most shocking thing was, the white-clothed man was not swimming across the ocean, he was standing above the sea level!

He could finally see clearly after the distance was shortened!

A white-clothed young monk was pedaling atop a wooden boat. His movement was carefree, as if he was an immortal who trod across the ocean waves, his unworldly gracefulness cannot be described with mere words.

The Light Weight Technique of Bodhidharma! The supreme technique that was lost in the human world for countless years!

Xiao Chen was rather astonished, that was obviously an expert. He couldn’t help but raise his guard.

The slightly salty sea breeze brushed lightly against the white-clothed monk as he braved the waves and arrived at the coast. He was somewhat surprised when he looked at Xiao Chen, but he quickly calmed down, took a single step forward and moved on top of the beach.

“You are……?” The white-clothed monk was different from the usual monk, he didn’t recite the chant nor did he refer to common people as almsgiver, he inquired like an ordinary person.

Seeing that this young monk was out of the ordinary, Xiao Chen introduced himself briefly. If he was to continue living in this world of immortals, he should build a good relationship with the practitioners of this world.

The white-clothed monk was seemingly very astonished, he opened his mouth and starts to talk, “My religious name is Yizhen.” Unlike an ordinary monk, he didn’t claim “himself” as a “Wise Monk”. ⌈3⌋ Even though he didn’t speak like a Buddhist monk, he revealed a super-refined aura. Judging from his bearing alone, he seemed to be a senior monk who had achieved enlightenment.

The two chatted naturally as they walked towards the coconut grove automatically. The three skeletons could feel a stranger approaching so they stealthily retreated.

“Master Yizhen, is there anything bizarre on this island?” Xiao Chen had too much question in his heart, Wang Zi Feng, and even Gu Luo had come to this island in succession. They clearly have a main objective, even Yizhen has come to this island now. It further emphasized the distinction of this uninhabited island.

“This island is known as the Dragon Island. During the ancient barren era, this island was eternally subdued by the Heavenly Monolith. All the dragon race that were capable of oppressing the deities lost their magic power eternally, and was confined on this uninhabited island.”

Xiao Chen finally understood why the Eight-Clawed Tyrant Dragon that could fight toe-to-toe with Neptune, and the king of dragons, the Tyrannical Dragon, were demonstrating more brutality than divinity. They already lost their powerful Divine Ability on this eternally subdued island.

“Why did something like that happened?” Xiao Chen asked curiously.

Buddhist Yizhen understood Xiao Chen’s current way of thinking, he briefly explained all the important events of the past to him.

“Nobody knows for sure. After the dragon race was subdued, Suirenshi, Youchaoshi, Emperor Fuxi, the rest of the ancestral god disappeared. Even powerful figures like Laozi, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Gautama, and so on, also disappeared. ⌈4⌋ Perhaps some unfortunate event occurred around that era. Those respectable deities all disappeared without a trace.”

“How did something like that happen……” Xiao Chen couldn’t understand, he turned his head to face Buddhist Yizhen and said, “Don’t tell me, there is no more god in this world?”

“That is not exactly right, the world of immortal is immeasurably vast, there are many different kinds of race. The ancestral gods are no longer here, and even the powerful Laozi, Gautama and the others had also disappeared, the exotic tribes still continued to spread the legends of venerable gods. There are many things that cannot be explained clearly, only after you walk through the vast continent and experience it yourself would you truly understand.”

Chapter 28 – As Firm as Steel



Gu Luo chuckled grimly twice, then he suddenly got up and ran towards Xiao Chen. It was pointless to say anything more at the moment. Zhao Lin Er follow-up with Gu Luo, she knew it was already too late to fall back. The only way out of this predicament was to kill Xiao Chen while enduring the onslaught of the undead miasma.

Two longswords were swung towards Xiao Chen’s chest in crisscrossed pattern. At the same time, the man who was holding the Blazing Sword also made his moves. The blazing hot longsword was swung towards Xiao Chen’s neck with ferocious strength.

The longsword in Xiao Chen’s hand also emitted a dazzling radiance, he swept the longsword across a wide area, and deflected the three’s killing technique. At the same time, the three skeletons transformed into three rays of white light as they dashed over there to clash against the three powerful experts.

Quite obviously, Zhao Lin Er and Gu Luo were plagued by the undead miasma, their strength was many times weaker than before. Even if they worked together, they still couldn’t gain any advantage.

The sword aura rose high into the sky from within the forest, Xiao Chen rotated his body as he brandished the sword. With a curved slash, the sword erupted with a glaring sword aura as it streaked across Zhao Lin Er’s nape. Her fine black hair filled the sky, the Imperial Angel’s long hair was neatly cut off. If she was one second slower, perhaps it would be her head that was detached!

Zhao Lin Er was breaking cold sweat from head to toe, she who was born in the imperial household had never experienced this kind of treatment; To be forced by others close to the gate of the underworld.

Gu Luo was also extremely scared, in his eyes, Xiao Chen was a really dangerous individual. An individual with resolution as firm as steel, he didn’t even hesitate when facing this kind of peerless beauty. He faced it with an indifferent attitude, what else would this kind of individual not dare to do? Originally, he thought that he could entice Xiao Chen with great benefits, and negotiate with him at the crucial moment. However, he completely dispelled this train of thoughts in his heart now.

During the time Gu Luo and Zhao Lin Er were feeling apprehensive, the longsword in Xiao Chen’s hand had already broke the Blazing Sword into pieces. An incomparably bright sword descended from top to bottom, slashing the sword-wielding man’s shoulder. The blood splashed everywhere, two chunks of body remains fell on the bloody ground of the forest.

Seeing Xiao Chen drew near while carrying the iron sword that’s dripping with blood, as well as the three skeletons blocking their path from the flank, Gu Luo’s complexion became despondent. Zhao Lin Er knitted her eyebrows, however she couldn’t come up with any countermeasures. It was getting difficult to maintain her gorgeous complexion and remain calm at the moment.

“Alright, everything should come to an end now.” When Xiao Chen said all these, he remained very calm. However, it makes Gu Luo and Zhao Lin Er feel even more frigid.

“Whoosh……”

“Roar……”

Just around this time, unhappy cries of the apes could be heard from a distant place. The terrain was slightly higher here, so they could clearly see dozens of powerful beastly figures were flying vertically on top of the tree. It was as if they were walking on the clouds, they could traverse eight to nine meters by only touching the branches or leaves slightly. They were seriously extremely nimble as they flew at lightning speed towards this location! ⌈1

Zhao Lin Er’s complexion abruptly changed, she recognized them in a flash. Those dozens of Gigantic Apes once protected Xiao Chen, and she killed one of them several days ago.

This place was not very far away from the habitat of the Gigantic Ape, the sound of battle had alarmed them.

In merely a short period of time, the dozens of Gigantic Apes arrived at this location. All of them were approximately three meter in height, with black fur covered their entire body, they seemed extremely scary under the moonlit night. As soon as they landed, they closely packed together as they surrounded both parties like huge stone monoliths.

The four meter tall peculiar Four-Armed Ape stood in the middle, the blood-colored fur on its body was flickering with a bewitching radiance under the moonlit night. Two rays of light were emitted from its two eyes, like a pair of lightning, as it started at Zhao Lin Er coldly.

Xiao Chen recalled the three skeletons to his side. With the dozens of Gigantic Ape who showed up for vengeance, perhaps he don’t even need to lift a finger. The conclusion of the fight was already set in the stone.

But all of a sudden, an extremely radiance burst out from the forest, the lightnings interweaves together as it enveloped the dozens of peculiar apes like a huge net. It wiped out all but the blood-colored peculiar ape, all the Gigantic Apes were knocked down be the lightning attack. They were twitching from head to toes, unable to even budge a muscle. Even the blood-colored Gigantic Ape’s footstep was weak and unstable.

The fast change of scenario caused everyone to know not what to do. However, just around this time, a snow-white young unicorn with faint light flickering all over its body like a jade transformed into a ray of silver radiance as it got in front of Zhao Lin Er. The young unicorn carried Zhao Lin Er and ran far away in a split second. ⌈2

This unforeseen event was too sudden!

The blood-colored Gigantic Ape bellowed in rage, it was like a sudden clap of thunder in the middle of a moonlit night. Its body generated electric sparks with crackling noise as it got out of paralysis state. Then it soared into the sky like a madman as it chased after the young unicorn.

After a short period of time, all the Gigantic Apes that were twitching on the ground recovered, and they chased after the young unicorn without even looking back.

Everything was too sudden!

At the moment, only Gu Luo remained standing all alone in that place. However, he was not in despair, on the contrary, the corners of his mouth curved up into a smiling expression.

Xiao Chen felt something was not right, he immediately left behind an afterimage as he dashed forward. However, he was still one-step too late, as Gu Luo unfolded a scroll, it actually carried him high up into the sky!

“I always thought this scroll was worthless, who would have thought I needed to use it to run for my life today.” As Gu Luo said these words, he directed all of his unsaid dissatisfaction and wrath at Xiao Chen as he stared at him fiercely.

Xiao Chen asked coldly, “Then why didn’t you use it to run away previously?”

“Because it can only carry one person! I believed that young unicorn will make an appearance, it is not good-looking if I used it hastily and run away by myself. Of course, if the young unicorn didn’t come, I would still run away during a life and death moment. Hey, everything that took place earlier just proved my calculation was right, leaving now is only more appropriate.” Gu Luo’s gaze was malicious as he firmly stared at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen did not feel exasperated, he only replied coldly, “You are playing with fire, not only since the beginning, even now!” Speaking until here, he stroked his hand in the empty air for a few times. A few brilliant light radiated, forming a huge palm in the sky as it engulfed several longswords beside the dead bodies.

After that, he jumped high into the sky, towards the crown of a huge tree. The distance between him and Gu Luo shrank rapidly.

Gu Luo shouted “Not good!” loudly, then he directed the scroll capable of flight to fly towards the distant location. Xiao Chen left an afterimage on the crown of the tall tree as he jumped to the top of another even taller tree. He stepped on the tip of the trees, and transformed into light and shadow as he chased for few dozen of meter in this kind of manner. And finally, he was at the top of the tallest ancient tree in this region.

He actually closed the distance between himself and Gu Luo greatly. His body was emitting a bright radiance, as if it was ignited due to his breakneck speed. The glowing light was throbbing on the surface of his body, like the raging flame of the hellfire! Just at this moment, he mercilessly tossed the first longsword from the giant hand!

Xiao Chen strengthened the longsword with the purest of power, transforming the ordinary iron into adamantine. The longsword was emitting light like a rainbow as it pierced the tranquil night sky!

“Plop!”

The blood splashed about in the sky, a large amount of blood overflowed. Gu Luo let out a sorrowful scream, the longsword actually penetrated his right arm. Not only that, his right arm was actually cut off! The severed arm fell down from the sky, the entire sky was filled with the rain of blood……
