The Golden Lion King, Crimson Dragon King, White Tiger, Goldie, Peacock King, and Tenax. These six young sacred beasts didn’t sustain serious injury in the second round. They could participate in the final showdown without the need of recuperation.

This night, every restaurant in the Celestial City was in a full house. Everyone was incomparably expectant for the final round tomorrow.

A few big casinos even started to take bets on which young sacred beasts would ultimately win. Countless people took part in the betting, with as little as a few silver coins, up to as many as thousand gold coins. This night was very noisy and lively.

Everywhere in the city, including the teahouse and the pub, everyone was talking about the six sacred beasts. Even the common people who didn’t have money to go and witness the battle in the warbeast castle personally were having a heated debate. Because, the marketing campaign of the warbeast castle was really too hot. After every battle, they would send a specialist to go and talk about the brilliant process of the battles everywhere in the city.

At present, the Celestial City had practically turned into a warbeast city. Many people were analyzing the past battles of the sacred beasts to speculate which one of them would remain standing in the end. All kinds of analysis and assessment rushed forth like a tide and spread like wildfire.

For this reason, some people specifically written down the details. Xiao Chen had received one and read through it seriously. He felt that the commentary was spot on.

The Golden Lion King had a powerful body and possessed tyrannical strength. Its speed was also beyond compare. It was like a streak of golden light and moved in a crisscrossed pattern, it was hard for its opponent to catch its trails. What’s more scarier was that, it possessed an eye of destruction. The instant that vertical eye opened, the bloody light could even penetrate the Black Tortoise, who was reputed for its defense. The Golden Lion King could be said to be unparalleled!

The most terrifying part was that, it had three heads so there was a total of three vertical eyes. Now, it had only opened one of its vertical eyes. Nobody knew how much power was accumulated in the other two vertical eyes, and how terrifying would it be if they were opened! It could even be said to be the greatest variables in this battle! It made everyone unable to guess how powerful the Golden Lion King really was. It had unknowingly became the favorite among the six sacred beasts.

Crimson Dragon King. Its brutalness was obvious to all. Every time it entered the stage, it would certainly kill its opponent without showing any mercy. People had even started to call it the Bloody Dragon King. It was a good fit, due to its scales that were glittering with red light, as well as its soaring murderous aura.

Dragons were originally the most powerful race in itself. This being the case, it was easy to become king at the juvenile stage. The Crimson Dragon King naturally had enough strength to look down on its peers. With the Dragon Martial Skills and the perfect combination of the dragon-specific divine spell, it was practically unstoppable.

The White Tiger looked mediocre, but it was actually out of the ordinary. It practiced the External Incarnation divine ability, and was also proficient in the ancient martial skill. The White Tiger was a very terrifying little beast king, especially the divine marks covering its body. The marks contained the ultimate truth. Nobody knew how many unknown divine abilities it had mastered. Many people speculated that, the External Incarnation was absolutely not the only divine ability it knew, it should have some even more terrifying abilities in its arsenal.

Goldie and the Peacock King; these two young sacred beasts possessed the bloodline of the deities. They were very gifted and people claimed they could become existences that surpassed the deities in the future. There was no need to doubt their power. Moreover, not only did they inherit the rare bloodline from their ancestors, they also inherited many forbidden techniques. This was their strongest point. It was hard to speculate what power level could these young sacred beasts reach in the future.

Tenax, a powerful and proud Dragon King, that was everyone’s first impression. Its martial skill was outstanding, its nature was tenacious, and it possessed unlimited potential. The Dragon Countersteps was only the tip of the iceberg. If they really let this little Dragon King went crazy and exerted all of its power, maybe even the Golden Lion King wouldn’t necessary be able to resist this battle freak with all of its vertical eyes opened! It could be said that the analyzers had very high evaluation of Tenax. It was the most promising ones among the six sacred beasts.

Every warbeast castle, red light district, restaurant, and casino was extremely noisy even past the midnight.

This night, many people had a hard time falling asleep.

Early morning, the sun rose from the East.

The morning sun had dyed the Celestial City golden yellow. That was the indication that this would be a fine sunny day.

Early morning, Xiao Chen personally prepared Tenax’s war meal. Ginseng King skewers, reishi mushroom congee, cinnabar juice, ginseng fruit cake… it was extremely luxurious. If people knew there was this kind of menu, they would literally drop their jaws.

This was enough to satisfy Tenax’s palate.

Naturally, Keke couldn’t be left out of such a sumptuous war meal. The little thing had crouched at the kitchen to keep watch for quite a while already. Its saliva was overflowing, and its big eyes that was originally brimming with cleverness were now very straightforward.

The final round was imminent, but Tenax was very calm. The energy was circulating on its jade-like draconic body, it had already adjusted its condition to the peak stage.

The sunshine had sprinkled over the Celestial City. The sun was already hanging high in the sky.

Xiao Chen walked towards the warbeast castle with Tenax and Keke.

Today, the decisive battle would take place at the Zhuge family’s Amber Warbeast Castle. They were going to open the sacred beast stage that was lying unused for twenty years. That was a stage specifically prepared for fully grown sacred beasts!

Under ordinary circumstances, it was very unlikely for the warbeast castle to stage a battle between fully grown sacred beasts. No matter how expensive was the tickets sold for, it was not worth it. That was because the loss from the fall of a single fully grown sacred beast was too great. No matter how powerful the warbeast castle was, they were unable to bear this kind of loss.

One must know that a fully grown sacred beast was at least as powerful as Nirvana realm. That kind of expert was really too rare. Their existences were the best deterrence to prevent war! Only some extremely ancient and powerful families would possess at least one or two of such sacred beasts.

Moreover, after a sacred beast was fully grown, it was impossible for them to consider to be in a different tribe. At that time, they would already be treated as a god in one’s family. It was simply impossible for them to get enslaved. In fact, a fully grown sacred beast could already transform into human. At that time, they would be enticed by ancient aristocratic families by any means possible to become a member of their family. In regards to this, they would not even hesitate to connect by marriage!

The sacred beast stage was nothing more than a symbol, there’s no way it could function as intended.

Rather than saying it was a warbeast stage, the sacred beast stage was more like a public square. It was as wide as five hundred meter square. The surface area was extremely wide. There was more than enough room for the six young sacred beasts to fight fiercely.

There was no seats around the sacred beast stage. In fact, if they really wanted to use this warbeast stage, then that would inevitably be an extremely dangerous battle. It was impossible to let the audience stay in the surroundings.

The Amber Warbeast Castle connected many rooms together. Apart from the VIP lounge, they used their resources to lay out many huge crystal screens in the room. They were going to broadcast the competition at real time.

It was a full house!

Today, the Amber Warbeast Castle was incredibly lively!

Every room was packed with people. There were fifty thousand people who bought the tickets to come and watch the battle.

The outside of the warbeast castle was surrounded by countless people. The figure of people could be seen everywhere in the city. Even if the tickets had already sold out, many people were also unwilling to leave. They wanted to stay at this place to listen the latest report at any time.

Naturally, apart from the Amber Warbeast Castle, every casino was also surrounded by so many people that not even one drop of water could trickle through.

At the present time, the win/loss ratio of the six sacred beasts was almost the same. That was because they were really unable to distinguish which one was stronger and which one was weaker. Of course, if they really counted the statistics, the ratio of the Golden Lion King was slightly higher. Naturally, it was only that little bit.

Xiao Chen was sitting in the VIP lounge and calmly waited for Tenax and the rest to appear on stage. Beside him, Keke was tweaking its ears and scratching its cheeks. It was as restless as a little monkey. It was unable to sit down at this moment. That was because it was really too unwilling. It really wanted to go down there and personally fight with those few young sacred beasts.

Xiao Chen was really scared that it would cause some mishaps. This snow-white little critter really gave people too much to worry about. He used the mysterious iron chain that was used to lock up the white tortoise to bind Keke’s little beast paw. Then he locked up the other side of the iron chain on his wrist to secure Keke at his side.

“Squeak! Squeak!!” Keke waved its other hairy beast paw and protested strongly with its glittering big eyes.

However, Xiao Chen just stuffed a cinnabar fruit into its mouth, then he ignored it.

The ginormous sacred beast stage was exceptionally quiet. Along with the rumbling sound, six gigantic iron gates were opened, and the six young sacred beasts came out from six different buildings as they walked towards the warbeast stage simultaneously.

The silence was oppressive!

During this split second, a bloodthirsty murderous aura had already spread all over the warbeast stage. The six young sacred beasts had already adjusted their battle condition to the peak optimum state.

The Lion King flickering with gold light, the Crimson Dragon King with soaring bloody light, the Peacock King radiating with multicolored divine radiance… each sacred beast was standing at six different positions and appeared very imposing!

They were having a silent confrontation. Without a doubt, the first to move would turn into everyone’s target.

Tenax was the very first to move. It ran towards the center of the stage with fearlessness. In its heart, victory or defeat was not at all important. What’s important was to challenge powerful enemies, to transcend its own limit, and to undergo a true dragon evolution.

That’s right, as far as Tenax was concerned, losing was nothing. It was originally a weak little dragon to begin with. When it was on the dragon island, it couldn’t even win against an ordinary little dragon. It advanced one step at a time, going through one life or death battle after another, getting stronger each time and never shrank back. The Tenax today only existed because of that.

The Crimson Dragon King also moved. It was the king of dragons, how could it not understand Tenax’s line of thoughts. It had already recognized Tenax as the miserable little dragon it defeated in the olden days. How could it be willing to fall behind the others? It was the natural-born king of dragons. To challenge the extreme boundary was an inherent instinct. Its battle intent was unbounded.

If the two Dragon Kings were humans, they could be said to be very prideful. Their action immediately roused up the other four sacred beasts and caused them to run towards the center of the stage at the same time. They were the strongest of their own kind, how could they fall behind the others?

As they were moving forward, a subtle change took place.

Goldie and the Peacock King slowly drew close to one another. This was within everyone’s expectation. They were the descendant of the deities and had once grew up together, so teaming up at this moment was inevitable.

The Golden Lion King looked at them coldly, then it looked at Tenax and the Crimson Dragon King. The White Tiger was like an ancient well with no ripples as it silently swept its eyes over all directions.

What was most unexpected was that, the two Dragon Kings didn’t team up. On the contrary, the hostility between them was even deeper compared to the other sacred beasts. Their proud nature and cruel fate made it so that it was impossible for them to team up.

Green, yellow, red, black, and white; these five colors radiated from the Peacock King’s entire body as it flew towards the sky. It remained motionless in the sky above Goldie.

The Golden Lion King was the most intensive. With a world-shaking lion roar, its entire body glinted with dazzling golden radiance as it started to dash. After that, it actually soared into the sky and pounced towards the Peacock King.

It was very astonishing!

The Golden Lion King could actually run in the sky, it was actually capable of defying gravity. The Lion King was stronger than they originally expected. The golden light illuminated the sky like a raging conflagration. With lightning fast speed, the Lion King tried to rip the Peacock King apart with its lion claws. The energy fluctuated violently.

“Swish!”

A streak of green light was launched downwards. The Peacock King had brushed off the extremely bold Lion King. Then it calmly spread its wings and soared higher into the sky.

All the spectators were very excited. Some people had already started to shout. Even the older generation figures were shocked. The might of the Lion King as it ran towards the sky. The divine light swept down by the Peacock King. They were able to see the power of the sacred beasts growing at a terrifying rate, and they recalled some of the legendary unparalleled divine abilities!

“Roar…”

The Lion King let out a roar that shook the vast sky.

The Golden Lion clearly had a killing intent. It vowed to break the Peacock King and Goldie’s combination no matter what. It wanted to kill the Peacock King first thing first and was actually planning to directly open the vertical eye at the center-head!

The five-colored radiance flickered as the sky was covered by dense multicolored fog. The Peacock King could sense the danger and increased its speed to the limit. Flapping its pair of wings, one bright light after another surged towards the Lion King like a storm. It wanted to crush the Lion King. The space itself seemed to be trembling!

No matter how fast was the multicolored energy wave, it was still slower than the speed of the Lion King opening its eye. That terrifying vertical eye had finally been opened! A bloody light burst out and directly swept towards the Peacock King!

“Ah…!”

“Light of Destruction!”

“It’s over!”

Many people cried out unconsciously.

Who was capable of blocking this powerful attack from the Golden Lion King? The older generation experts aside, even the Historia level warriors had reached the conclusion that they wouldn’t be able to get out of this attack unscatched!

However, beyond everyone’s expectation.

“Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Green, yellow, red, black, and white; these five colors radiated and annihilated everything in its path as they fell downwards! The multicolored radiance actually deflected the bloody light and made the terrifying light of destruction turn towards the empty space.

This was undoubtedly an extremely sensational scene. The light of destruction that was claimed to be unstoppable was actually fended off by the Peacock King. It immediately caused every spectators to cry out in surprise!

“No way!”

“Too inconceivable!”

“Just what was that multicolored divine radiance?”

“Could that be the deity’s forbidden divine ability?”

……

All the older generation figures already changed countenance. The light of destruction launched from the Lion King’s vertical eye, they had already seen it. Despite that being the legendary forbidden spell, they were not as shocked as the first time they saw it. But that multicolored divine radiance was revealed for the first time, how could they not be feverish?

That was the unparalleled divine ability of the ancient myth. It was claimed to be capable of annihilating all living things in the world!

That’s right, even Gods and Buddhas wouldn’t be able to ward it off that easily!

1. N/a

The Golden Lion King’s performance made every spectator endlessly shocked. When the bloody light swept past, even the Black Tortoise — who was reputed to have the best defense among the beast — was penetrated. This was simply inconceivable.

Unparalleled Lion King!

A lot of people started to shout. It could stand toe to toe with the Dragon Kings, perhaps it might even be stronger than the Dragon Kings. This was the evaluation of the majority.

The Golden Lion could really be rated as the king of the sacred beasts. There was no need to doubt its power. What’s more terrifying was that, it had three heads, and two more of its vertical eyes had not opened yet. Who knew what kind of terrifying ability was it still hiding.

The Golden Lion King with unlimited potential!

Many people wanted to find out who was its owner, but regretfully, they were unable to discover any information.

The Golden Lion King was as calm as a lofty mountain. Its entire body was flickering with dazzling gold radiance. It walked towards the Black Tortoise, one step at a time. It ripped the corpse apart with its powerful claws. A yellowish radiance rushed out and was swallowed by the Golden Lion. This was its spoil of war, the essence of the Black Tortoise was devoured by the Lion King.

Naturally, it was impossible for the Golden Lion to learn the Black Tortoise’s divine ability because of this. However, it would inevitably be very beneficial for its future prospect.

Only after going through hundreds of life and death battles would a beast king be able to become more powerful. Only by experiencing life and death battles unceasingly would they be able to arouse their hidden potential. Only a grand battle like this could help them develop their talent at high speed.

Of course, the essence of the defeated sacred beasts would inevitably become the victor’s driving force. Their power wouldn’t increase immediately, but their life energy would become more vigorous. This was equivalent to increasing their own potential.

The main reason for these young sacred beasts to participate in the warbeast tournament was the Dragon King. If they could devour the dragon-qi, that would be very beneficial for them!

Xiao Chen returned to his residence. He knew that the Golden Lion King would become one of Tenax’s most powerful opponent. It was extremely possible that it would be mortally wounded. That Golden Lion’s strength was really too powerful.

Tenax had already fully recovered. Not only because it had received the insurance of the dragon-qi, it was also nursed by the rainbow-colored sacred tree. Tenax’s body had already grown a little, it was about 1.5 meter long now. It seemed more robust than ever.

Moreover, its silver brilliance gradually changed into the milky white radiance of the jade. Its draconic body seemed to be carved out of suet white jade. The dragon scales were glorious and a powerful energy was circulating on the scales. Without a doubt, Tenax had become stronger after going through that life and death battle.

“Haha…”

A loud laughter transmitted from the doorway. Zhuge fatty carried a greasy paper bag in between his arms and arrived at Xiao Chen’s residence with a beaming smile.

“I will treat you all to a banquet tonight!”

“Is there anything distinguishing? We have tasted almost all the delicacy in the Celestial City.” Xiao Chen asked with interest.

“Although it’s not as rare as dragon liver or phoenix essence, it is still a rare delicacy in this world. Generally, even a sovereign wouldn’t be able to eat it even if they want to.” The fatty squinted his eyes. He was so happy that his fats were trembling.

“******* fatty, don’t even think about eating it by yourself.” From the outside came the voice of a young lady. The Mander family’s baby girl, Katalina, pushed the door open and entered. Her aquamarine dress made her seem very smart.

Behind her was Lazio, who had been given the title of a freak. This handsome man was usually gentle and cultivated. It was practically impossible to find any traces of a practitioner on him.

Katalina snuggled up to him at his side. Her whole face was filled with excitement. At the same time, she didn’t forget to glare at Xiao Chen ferociously.

“Hey, this brat from the Mander family, how come your nose is so sharp? Where did you get the news?” The fatty looked at her suspiciously.

“I originally wanted to make my move earlier, but I didn’t expect you were so crafty and was one step ahead of me.”

“Haha… I am here.” Fairsky also rushed over. ⌈¹⌋

These three were the scions from three big warbeast castles. Xiao Chen could vaguely guess what was it.

Sure enough, the following words confirmed his speculation.

“All of your noses are even sharper than the divine hound’s! I’ll say it first, it is possible to enjoy the delicacy together, but if anyone dare to leak the news, I will never forgive them!”

“Hurry up, I am getting impatient. That is but the legendary Black Tortoise!” Katalina’s beautiful eyes were pacing back and forth between the fatty and the greasy paper bag. ⌈²⌋

It must be mentioned that Zhuge fatty possessed remarkable abilities. He actually plundered some of the Black Tortoise’s ruptured body. They set up a big iron pot at Xiao Chen’s courtyard and began to stew the Black Tortoise!

If people were to know of this, they would definitely be driven mad. Stewing Black Tortoise? That’s too crazy!

The aroma of the meat drifted in the air. In addition to the exotic delicacies delivered from the restaurant, everyone was very pleased with this meal.

Naturally, it was impossible for Keke and Tenax to be left out.

The fatty still felt a little empty. He only drank a mouthful of the Black Tortoise soup and he already got a nosebleed. He let out a heavy sigh.

The essence of the Black Tortoise had already been swallowed up by the Golden Lion King. Its body had already turned into a pure tortoise extract. Fairsky and the others didn’t need to worry about external source hindering their own advancement.

“That little White Tiger will make an appearance tomorrow. I really hope it will be defeated. At that time, not only will we have tiger meat and tiger bone wine, the most important part is the tiger’s wiener. The White Tiger’s one… is a genuine treasure!” After the fatty got drunk, he started to babble nonsense. It caused Katalina to kick him twice. After that, she packed some tortoise soup for take-away and left at high speed.

On the sixth day, the little White Tiger made an appearance again.

Its opponent was a beast with lion head, bear-like body, horse-like limbs, and a tiger-like tail. It was a legendary mutated sacred beast, the Tetramutant. It was roughly 1.5 meter long. Its entire body was flickering with four colors, namely; yellow, white, brown, and black. It looked very excellent.

There was no need to doubt its strength. When four of its limbs stepped on the ground, raging flames were produced and it was standing in the sea of flames. The warbeast stage shook as the worldly essence was gathered at high speed.

The White Tiger was very calm. This time, its originally mediocre outward appearance had an astonishing transformation. It seemed to have felt the formidability of its opponent and finally revealed its true strength. The monochrome stripes emitted glorious radiance. The flickering light was very glaring and carried an intangible pressure. The contrasting white and black light reflected upon one another and enveloped the White Tiger completely.

“Divine marks?!”

“It is the White Tiger’s divine marks!”

Someone among the audience cried out in surprise.

The White Tiger’s divine marks was a “sacred writings” bestowed by heaven. It possessed an unfathomable power. Legend says it was some kind of ancient characters, which contained the ultimate truth. Of course, since ancient times, only a very few could manifest the divine marks. This White Tiger was clearly different from its peers.

“Alas, seems like there’s no hope for tiger wiener wine!” In the VIP lounge Xiao Chen was located at, Zhuge fatty shook his head and heaved a sigh.

The snow-white little critter was holding a ginseng king skewer in its little paws. That skewer was made by completely basing it on the candied fruits. Its two eyes widened as it curiously sized up the White Tiger through the crystal screen.

“How about it? Do you have confidence that you can defeat it? If you can really make it lie down on the floor, let’s not mention the ginseng king skewers, even if you want to eat the heavenly fruits, I can buy some for you.” ⌈³⌋

Looking at the how the cunning fatty was inciting it like this, Xiao Chen hastily pushed him out of the VIP lounge. Then he turned his head and warned Keke, “Don’t listen to his nonsense. Just behave yourself and stay here. Otherwise I will confiscate all your ginseng king skewers and reishi mushroom cake.”

“Squeak…” Keke nodded its head obediently. However, it was casting a sidelong glance at the fatty’s rear figure with its glittering big eyes.

On the warbeast stage, the fierce battle had begun. The Tetramutant soared into the sky and floated in midair. Divine radiance of four colors lingered on its surrounding. One terrifying light blade after another were launched down unceasingly and attacked the White Tiger like a storm.

This was an exotic beast capable of manipulating the worldly power. It was much stronger compared to the common Spell Masters and Psychics.

“Swish!”

The yellowish divine radiance sent the White Tiger flying. It fell from the sky like the divine flames and engulfed the entire surface area of the stage.

“Bang!”

White divine radiance flickered and confined the White Tiger on the ground. The rays of light had submerged the White Tiger.

“Rips! Rips!”

The brown divine radiance and black radiance were launched simultaneously, targeting the White Tiger’s neck. Four-colored divine radiance flickered on the warbeast stage as the energy fluctuation rumbled violently.

When everyone saw the White Tiger rolling in the four-colored divine radiance, everyone felt that it was impossible for the White Tiger to turn the situation around anymore. It seemed like this battle had already been decided.

However, with the elapse of time, everyone found to their surprise; although the White Tiger seemed very pitiful as it was getting tossed left and right by the four-colored divine radiance, it didn’t sustain any injury due to this.

This could even be said to be a miracle. Under the situation where the densely covered divine radiances were sweeping left and right, it was impossible for the White Tiger to dodge them completely. So how was it possible for the White Tiger to remain unharmed?

Eventually, everyone finally discovered wherein the secret lies. The White Tiger’s divine marks actually dissolved all the attacks! The Tetramutant’s wild attacks were all melted by the divine marks.

Carrying on, along with the earsplitting roar, the White Tiger stood up on its hindlimb. Its entire body was flickering with brilliant rays as it was about to execute a killing move! The White Tiger didn’t want to struggle meaninglessly anymore. Therefore, it unwillingly revealed its powerful divine ability.

The monochrome divine marks actually separated from its body and materialized as a spiritual tiger in the sky. The thunderous roar shook the very space itself! The spiritual tiger completely made out of the concentration of divine radiance soared into the sky and pounced towards the Tetramutant that was floating in midair.

Too fast! That was practically lightning incarnate!

“Pfff!”

The blood splashed everywhere. The spiritual tiger had tore the Tetramutant to shreds. The rain of blood sprinkled down from the sky. The scene was somewhat disturbing. That was too cruel. The mutated sacred beast, Tetramutant, died with its body completely blown into smithereens.

“Roar…”

Along with a world-shaking roar, the spiritual tiger turned back into the divine marks and returned to the White Tiger’s body.

Specks of light floated up, that was the Tetramutant’s essence. It was swallowed up by the White Tiger. This beast king battle had concluded at this point.

The audience was in absolute silence. The power of the White Tiger was beyond everyone’s expectation!

“Was that External Incarnation?” At last, someone raised the doubt in their heart with cracked voice.

“That is a divine ability more formidable than the External Incarnation!”

All the audience suddenly flared up.

The following beast king battles were just as marvelous.

Dugu Jianmo’s Crimson Dragon King was raised in the depths of the south all along. It was very wild and brutal. It spent the entire day fighting at close quarters with the primal beasts in the mountains. The murderous aura on its body was even heavier than that of the murderer. It killed its opponent with absolute dominance and advanced to the next round smoothly.

Although the Solitary clan seemed to be in a decline, and there was hardly a single shadow to be seen in the ancient castle all year long, nobody dared to make their move against the Crimson Dragon King. People would never forget that spectacular scene from ten years ago; when a group of practitioners carrying broadswords on their back returned while flying in the sky…

In the south, nobody dared to provoke this low-profile family.

Goldie, the descendant of the deity, also defeated its opponent with absolute superiority and advanced to the next round smoothly. This result was not unexpected for Xiao Chen. One must know that this golden ape could resist Keke’s rainbow-colored divine radiance. If it couldn’t rise above the others, then that sacred beast could be rated as S-rank.

They only arranged one or two battles per day for the second round of the grand battle. It drew a lot of attention, especially the last two battles. That was because the leading roles from these two battles had an extremely big background!

The first battle was between the Winged Dragon King and Peacock King. The other battle was between Tenax and Tyrant Dragon King.

When he saw that silver-colored Winged Dragon King, Xiao Chen immediately recalled that beautiful female Psychic, Lanyu. At that time, on the dragon island, the Winged Dragon King had followed her. Could it be that she had arrived at the Celestial City?

Xiao Chen wanted to go and pay a visit to the Winged Dragon King’s owner, but when he asked which VIP lounge was the owner located at, he found that the Winged Dragon King had forfeited the match and had already left the Celestial City with its mysterious owner.

This news made a lot of people disappointed. After all, the appearance of the Dragon Kings was this competition biggest highlight.

According to the grapevines, the Winged Dragon King’s owner had come across some trouble, that’s why they left in a hurry. There’s another news saying that, the Peacock King was the descendant of the deity, and that Winged Dragon King’s owner didn’t want their baby to take a risk, that’s why they forfeited.

Only the Peacock King was left on the warbeast stage. It was as beautiful as a multicolored divine flower in full bloom. Its garish divine feathers were glittering with dream-like radiance. With its opponent forfeiting the match, it moved on to the next round smoothly.

Xiao Chen received the news from Fairsky. The elder in their family had once went to the historical remains and personally saw the descendants of the deities. One of them was indeed a multicolored Peacock King.

The rumor was true, the Peacock King on the stage was really the descendant of the deity.

Without a doubt, the gorgeous Peacock King possessed unimaginable strength. At the very least, it shouldn’t be weaker than Goldie. Perhaps, it might even be capable of shaking off Keke.

The last battle of the second round was between Tenax and the Tyrant Dragon King.

Xiao Chen was definitely not unfamiliar with this Tyrant Dragon King. That was the offspring of the Eight-Clawed Tyrant Dragon, and he had once refined one of the Tyrant Dragon egg. This could be some kind of karma.

A disappointing event happened again. The Tyrant Dragon King had withdraw from the battle. It was taken by its owner away from the warbeast castle. Tenax advanced to the next round without a battle. ⌈⁴⌋

Xiao Chen felt extremely baffled, why did two Dragon Kings forfeit the match? Was it because they were really worried that the opponent was stronger? He was in doubt, could it be that something was about to happen and caused the owner of the Dragon Kings to retreat?

And everyone finally exploded at this time, two Dragon Kings forfeited without cause or reason, this was really too disappointing. Everyone very much wanted to see the battle of the Dragon Kings.

Golden Lion King, Crimson Dragon King, White Tiger, Goldie, Peacock King, and Tenax. These six young sacred beasts moved on to the next round that was about to begin in the next few days. This was the final match to decide for the beast king once and for all.

Finally, the warbeast tournament was entering its final stage. The decisive battle was quickly approaching. The next battle was a chaotic warfare between six sacred beasts. The last one standing would be the king. They would become the supreme king of the warbeast tournament this year, the true king among the kings.

“You… just go and die!” Yan Qingcheng glared at Xiao Chen. However, Xiao Chen found a hint of craftiness behind her beautiful eyes.

“Swish!”

Like a flickering light and passing shadows, Xiao Chen left an afterimage in his original location and rushed in front of Yan Qingcheng, then he grabbed her lily-white hands. And just at this time, a lightning landed on his original location with a rumble.

“When I was at your Undying Sect’s headquarters, I have already seen this kind of mystic art. You think I will fall for it?”

“Unhand me!”

“No way!”

“Xiao Chen, you scoundrel…”

“If you curse me again, then don’t blame me for turning into a real tyrant and satisfy your expectation!”

“Who’s expecting what? Go to hell, drop dead! You are really too shameless!” Yan Qingcheng was extremely ashamed and resentful as she continued to struggle.

“Let’s go. We’re going to see the elder.”

“If you want to go, then go by yourself. Unhand me!”

“How can you not go? You are the reason I come to your sect today.”

“Xiao Chen, you *******!” Yan Qingcheng was really a little scared now. This negligent guy actually wanted to go and meet the elder now.

“If was your Undying Sect who spread the rumor that you have been betrothed to me. Because of this, I was almost killed by the ancient spear Pasteur.”

Xiao Chen and Yan Qingcheng flew past the garden in the sky. Their sleeves were brushed by the wind. The man was handsome, the woman was like a fairy, they seemed to be the perfect match.

“Hey, isn’t that junior sister Yan Qingcheng? Am I seeing things? Why is she flying side by side with a man!”

“Junior sister Yan is actually flying side by side with a man…”

“I am going to challenge that guy!”

……

There’s plenty practitioners of the Undying Sect below. After seeing this scene, few of the male disciples felt heartbreak.

When Yan Qingcheng heard those words, she narrowly fell from the sky.

“Xiao Chen, you *******. Let go of me.”

“No.”

The two of them had mastered the Undying Divine Wings. They flew past the gardens at lightning speed and arrived in front of a big hall in the blink of an eye. Then they landed as light as a feather.

The Undying Sect’s elder had already received the report. He sent someone to lead the two into the main hall.

Within the ancient hall, many demon god’s portraits were enshrined. Impressively, the one enshrined in the centermost was a gold statue of the Undying Demon King in battle stance. He looked handsome and outstanding. The lonesome look in his eyes was so vivid that it felt as if it had traveled through time and reflected upon the hearts of the later generations.

Naturally, that arrogant appearance had been carved even more vivid. A hint of loftiness could be seen among the loneliness. It was as if every living things in the world were under his foot, as if nobody in the world deserved to face him at his best!

The Demon King had shaken quite a few generations. When he just founded the sect, he had slaughtered a lot of demon gods. He was very good at power play. He raided the sacred island’s palace alone and was bathed in the blood of the deities. He was genuinely worshipped by the people of the Undying Sect, regardless of gender and age!

For the men, they wanted to reach the summit and look down on the multitude of hills! This was the dream of every men in the Undying Sect. Who wouldn’t want to recreate the former glory of the Demon King?

The girls also became proud and arrogant due to the existence of the Demon King. In their heart, only this kind of man was a good fit for them.

Xiao Chen stood in the main hall and silently paid his respect in front of the Demon King’s statue.

“Did you finally start to become aware of your own insignificance in front of the Demon King?” Yan Qingcheng used this chance to shake off Xiao Chen’s palm.

“The Demon King is worthy of my respect. This is how a man should be. Proud, ambitious, famous, and powerful. However, I don’t have superstitious belief in the Demon King, he is but a man who reached that height through hard work. Everyone has a different path, my goal is not to become the Demon King, I am myself.”

“You sure know how to talk. However, it is pointless. Show it with your action, not words!” Yan Qingcheng hurled back.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “You can witness it step by step when we are together in the future.” He resumed his negligent appearance and the sharp expression on his face just now was gone.

“Xiao Chen, I will say it one more time. There is nothing between the two of us. I will definitely make you crouch under my foot one of these days!” Yan Qingcheng had endured silently for a very long time. Nobody had ever opposed her like this. And now, all her inner feelings had finally burst out.

“Haha…” Xiao Chen laughed out loud and said, “In that case, does that mean I should make you crouch under my foot first?”

“You… I’m going to kill you!” Yan Qingcheng’s beautiful face was covered with frostiness. Her lily-white body was trembling slightly.

Just at this time, a disciple of the Undying Sect came out from the back of the palace hall and said, “The master is asking Lord Xiao to come in.”

At the back of the palace hall, a sixty plus years old elder with remarkable appearance was quietly sitting on the mat. He was actually that elder who called himself Liu Qingfeng. He had once saved the middle-aged man, who wanted to take revenge for the Gold Dragon King, from Xiao Chen’s hand.

He sat on the mat calmly and rolled his sleeve noiselessly. Then, two mats immediately floated up and landed in front of Xiao Chen and Yan Qingcheng.

“Xiao Chen, what is the reason for your visit today?”

Naturally, Xiao Chen couldn’t say something as shameful as “receiving my wife” anymore. That was only to rouse up the proud Yan Qingcheng.

“This junior had once been under the care of the patriarch, I ought to come pay a visit to the Undying Sect’s branch in Celestial City.”

Liu Qingfeng nodded his head and started to chat with Xiao Chen leisurely.

Yan Qingcheng was so angry that the roots of her teeth started to itch. Xiao Chen was teasing her wantonly earlier, but now, he’s actually deadly earnest. She originally thought he would act indifferent in front of Liu Qingfeng and not give any respect to the elder of the Undying Sect. If that was the case, then he would be severely punished. However, she didn’t expect Xiao Chen would behave himself. He didn’t show any disrespect and was chatting with Liu Qingfeng on friendly terms.

Liu Qingfeng said earnestly, “Recently, you’ve been too reckless. You should learn to hold back a little. There’s a lot of things you cannot do rashly.”

“The senior’s advice, I will take it to heart.”

“Oh? You really don’t have any other business for coming to the Undying Sect?”

“Of course there is!” Following that, Xiao Chen tactfully conveyed his purpose in coming. Although he didn’t say the few words, “To take my wife home,” that was clearly what he meant.

Yan Qingcheng almost dropped the teacup in her hands. This guy was really too shameful, he actually dared to bring this matter up!

Liu Qingfeng’s hands also shook slightly. Wasn’t this guy a little too “straightforward”? Couldn’t he be a little more “evasive”?

“Regarding this matter…”

“The ancient spear Pasteur…”

Yan Qingcheng was endlessly resentful. This guy was extremely daring. He actually had the intention of pushing the blame of getting penetrated by Pasteur to the Undying Sect. This was the reason he dropped in to propose marriage.

“Master…” Yan Qingcheng was in an uncomfortable situation. Looking at Liu Qingfeng smiling from beginning to end, she couldn’t help but raise her voice.

On the other hand, Xiao Chen was surprised. Liu Qingfeng was actually Yan Qingcheng’s master. This was indeed out of his expectation!

“Generally, I don’t oppose this marriage!” Liu Qingfeng declared his opinion.

Startled, Xiao Chen immediately looked at him blankly. He didn’t expect his proposal would be successful. All of this was only to give vent to his accumulated dissatisfaction. The Undying Sect clearly used him as an excuse to evade the brothers who held the ancient spear Pasteur. Although he didn’t dare to criticize them violently, mocking them was still unavoidable. However, he didn’t expect the other party actually didn’t turn him down.

“Master…” Yan Qingcheng became anxious. It was simply unimaginable for her to marry to Xiao Chen. Even if she had to make a compromise last time, now that she had returned to the immortal’s mainland, how could she continue to make herself feel wronged?

“Oh, we must not be too hasty regarding this matter. I feel that it is better to wait till Qingcheng master the Obliterate Demon Absolute God first. When two spend a long time together, love will bloom naturally.”

Hearing these, Xiao Chen almost sprayed out the tea in his mouth. Wasn’t this old fellow too crafty? If he wanted to refuse, just say it! Why be so corny?

On the other side, Yan Qingcheng was delighted and reproachful at the same time. Master really didn’t know how to speak. What “when two spend a long time together, love will bloom naturally”? Who would “bloom romantic feelings” for this guy?!

Xiao Chen originally came to this place to mock Yan Qingcheng to begin with. He was not so naive to think he could actually take Yan Qingcheng as a wife. Since his goal had more or less accomplished, he chuckled and said, “Yan Qingcheng, you really don’t want to marry me? If you really don’t want to, then I will take my leave.”

“In your dream!” She was as beautiful as the angel and as proud as the fairy. Yan Qingcheng’s beautiful face was brimming with ice-cold expression as she said proudly, “I would rather marry off to a beggar or an army ruffian than marrying you!”

Xiao Chen originally wanted to take his leave just like this. However, after hearing these words from Yan Qingcheng, he felt furious and said with a smile, “Good, very ambitious indeed. So high and mighty! Not long later, I am going to leave the Celestial City. I hope that lady Qingcheng will not follow me along the way again. I don’t want to interfere with your adequate life.”

These words caused Yan Qingcheng to be speechless for a moment. After practicing the Obliterate Demon Absolute God, she was really inseparable from this so-called vessel.

“You…”

As he said these, Xiao Chen had already saluted to Liu Qingfeng and left the main hall.

“Mister Xiao, don’t be so smug! I will find a way to settle this!”

“Then I will congratulate you in advance. Actually, we can already be considered acquaintance. If you can’t stand it anymore, you can continue to be my attendant. Of course, the prerequisite is that you don’t weep endlessly and keep shouting you want to marry me.”

Xiao Chen had resumed the negligent appearance which Yan Qingcheng detested bitterly. He felt that he was a little small-minded just now. After all, he was a man. So be it if he only mocked this arrogant beauty, but it was no worthwhile to take it too seriously. He burst into loud laughter as he soared into the sky and flew towards a distant location.

Yan Qingcheng was gnashing her teeth. How she wished she could pull Xiao Chen down from the sky at once.

“Mister Xiao, I will not let you get away with this!”

“Come and find me any time. I am currently thinking about my future seriously. If you are too late, you can only become a concubine.” As the voice faded away, Xiao Chen’s figure disappeared in the sky.

“Go to hell!” Yan Qingcheng’s smooth forehead was covered with black lines.

The next day, because the snow-white little Keke was snoozing around and missed the time to get on the stage, its qualification to compete was mercilessly stripped off. When Xiao Chen found the little thing, it was soundly asleep at the backstage. He had no other choice but to take it home.

However, the little critter was very dissatisfied. The unwillingness in its eyes was undisguised. Xiao Chen knew he had to pay close attention to it. Otherwise it might cause some trouble again.

Four days later, the grand battle had finally reached its climax. The spectators’ mood were rising up and down every day, and the warbeast castle was filled to the brim.

The first round of the grand battle dropped its curtain at last. On the fifth day, the second round of the grand battle began!

The first battle today was between the Golden Lion King and the black tortoise.

The strength of these two cubs were gravely underestimated at that time. They were the victors of the standard beast kings. Presently, they were genuinely the strongest and most popular among the young beast kings.

And now, these two powerful warbeasts actually clashed. It could even be said to be a fierce battle between giants.

The Golden Lion King looked extremely fierce. Although it was only one meter long, it had a bearing like that of a natural-born king. Similarly, the golden fur all over its body was dazzling, so much so that the gold radiance made people unable to open their eyes. It crouched there unmovingly like an immemorial sacred mountain, which gave people a great pressure!

It had three lion heads and each of them appeared mighty. It made people intimidated at first glance, especially that vertical eyes on its foreheads. When it blinked, the brilliant rays made even the older generation experts to get cold feet. Everyone unanimously determined that, this was definitely an extremely exotic beast. Perhaps, its odds of success were very high even if it faced the Dragon Kings!

As for that mysterious tortoise, nobody dared to look down on it anymore. That was because an older generation warrior had clarified it clearly, this was the direct descendant of the Black Tortoise. It was a natural-born sacred beast and had unlimited potential!

Along with the sound of the drum, this battle had begun. The entire body of the Golden Lion King radiated. Although it hadn’t moved a fraction, it had, without a doubt, already became the sole attention of the audience. The stage was brimming with golden radiance. The aura of the Lion King made every spectators feel pressured.

The Black Tortoise was as quick as lightning. It started to rotate like a sharp disk blade as it flew towards the Golden Lion King.

“Swish!”

The Golden Lion King moved with lightning speed. With a swipe of its claw, it ruthlessly hit the Black Tortoise.

“Clang!”

The deafening noise had shaken up the entire warbeast palace. The Black Tortoise’s shell was truly indestructible, it was practically impossible to break through.

The qi of earth rumbled as yellowish rays of light appeared around the Black Tortoise. The energy fluctuated violently in the Black Tortoise’s surroundings. The essence of earth gave rise to a yellow light, which was launched towards the Golden Lion King. The black tortoiseshell was bewitching. It was so dark that it made people break out in cold sweat. The energy fluctuation passed through the barrier in front of the stage and made every spectators feel palpitated.

This kind of young sacred beast was too terrifying. It already possessed this much power at present. Who knew what kind of realm it could reach once it was fully grown!

“Boom!”

The aura of mother earth was majestic, the momentum was extremely shocking. In a split second, the Golden Lion King had been sent flying and rammed against the barrier surrounding the warbeast stage.

A burst of violent energy fluctuation rumbled. The barrier almost broke down and the spectators burst into clamor. The Black Tortoise was really too powerful. It was actually capable of manipulating such a tyrannical power.

And surprisingly, the Golden Lion King did not get crushed like they had expected. The glaring golden light glinted as the Lion King shook its lustrous fur. It jumped up from the ground and was practically unharmed!

With the speed of lightning, the Golden Lion King ran across the field and let out a thunderous rumble. The entire warbeast stage was trembling. The Golden Lion King got in front of the Black Tortoise in a split second and brandished its lion claw violently.

“Bang!”

The Black Tortoise was sent flying, but it was still safe and sound. It was impossible to destroy the tortoiseshell.

The eyes of the Lion King glinted as two threatening lights were emitted. It scuttled across the field and bit the Black Tortoise in the sky. Then, it swung its head violently and flung the Black Tortoise. However, the tortoise shell still remained in one piece.

The Black Tortoise amassed the yellowish rays of light again and gave rise to an even more violent earth essence that drowned the Golden Lion King.

“Boom!”

The Golden Lion King was sent flying towards the sky. A mouthful of gold-colored blood was coughed out from the center-head. However, its militaristic body was still as vigorous as before. It didn’t have much influence on its performance.

But also because of this, the Golden Lion King became furious!

Along with the world-shaking lion roar, the barrier around the warbeast stage was destroyed. The vertical eye at the Golden Lion King’s center-head opened in that instant and a blazing, bloody-qi was launched. It was like a light of destruction that destroyed the Black Tortoise’s shell in a split second!

“Bang!”

The entire body of the Black Tortoise burst open!

Crushing defeat!

The Black Tortoise, one most powerful sacred beast that was recognized by everyone, died on the warbeast stage. The Golden Lion King achieved victory with indisputable strength.

The entire stadium turned deathly silent. The Golden Lion King was too powerful!

It barely opened one of its vertical eyes and it was already enough to penetrate the Black Tortoise who was known for its defense. Who else among the young sacred beasts could be a worthy match for it?!

Xiao Chen also felt downcast. Even he was not confident that he would be able to withstand that destructive attack just now! And that was merely one out of three of the Golden Lion King’s vertical eyes!

1. N/a

After rushing into the house, the fatty was so frightened that he almost fainted. Xiao Chen also dropped his jaw.

The snow-white little critter was too extreme. It actually carried a big sack back. The inside of the sack was shining with multicolored radiance and it was bulging. Who knew just how many spiritual items were stuffed into that sack by the little critter.

The big sack was much bigger than Keke. Compared to this nearly one foot long little critter, the 1.5 meter long big sack was too exaggerated!

The sack had already been opened. The snow-white little critter was extremely infatuated. It was rolling around in the sack happily. Its eyes had already turned into crescent moon shape.

The fatty was so nervous that he almost slumped onto the ground. He started stammering, “We’re done for, we’re done for! The ‘Treasure Trove Castle of the South’ has been raided! Keke has stolen all of their first-rate spiritual items. This mother f—…… the value of these items is beyond measure! If we’re caught, we will have to pay for the consequences. We will have to compensate with twice the market price!”

Xiao Chen also felt a pang of headache. With this much spiritual items stolen, it would definitely cause a huge commotion in Celestial City. Settling this peacefully was definitely impossible. Just think about how much was all of these worth?!

Keke’s glittering big eyes rolled around, then it jumped up and stood in between Xiao Chen and the big sack. That means: Don’t think about asking me to return these, I will not do it even if you beat me to death!

Xiao Chen was almost driven mad as he kneaded his temples. This matter was not easy to deal with, one error and they would be in for a great disaster.

“Damn it! Just what was the Treasure Trove Castle doing? There’s so many treasures… don’t tell me that they don’t have an expert guarding their treasures? Are they not afraid of getting robbed?!” Xiao Chen was upset as he complained.

Zhuge fatty was speechless, your snow-white little critter had raided other people’s store, how did you end up blaming the others? The fatty cursed silently and felt a splitting headache at the same time. He helplessly explained, “Did you forget what day is it today? Today is the first day of the grand battle. And the first round was between two Dragon Kings. Almost all the experts in Celestial City have already headed to the warbeast castle to watch the match. The three elders watching over the store are absent. I saw it with my own eyes as they entered the VIP lounge of the warbeast castle.”

“Didn’t the battle between the Dragon Kings ended quite a while ago?” Xiao Chen grumbled grudgingly.

“The battle between the Dragon Kings has indeed ended, but there’s still two more battles between the beast kings. Since they went there already, do you think they would only watch a single round?”

“Keke, you… Sigh!” Xiao Chen felt really helpless, he didn’t know how to handle this matter.

On the other hand, the snow-white little critter was very excited. As if it had just won a victorious battle, it jumped into the big sack again and started to toss from side to side.

“This won’t do! We must return these immediately, otherwise we will arouse public anger!” Xiao Chen helplessly let out a breath.

“That’s right, and we must be fast. We should take this chance and return the items where they belong before the three elders get back.” The fatty also felt very urgent. The Treasure Trove Castle was a monopolistic corporation. They had strong financial support and possessed great influence in the south.

“Squeak! Squeak!!” The snow-white little critter was getting discontent. It poked its head out from the big sack and mumbled to itself angrily. It seemed to be saying that it had worked hard to get these and that it definitely wouldn’t return them.

The fatty was a little speechless, you call this work hard? You might as well just live in the Treasure Trove Castle!

“This won’t do. Keke, you must return these items immediately. Otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. We will get into big trouble.” Xiao Chen had no choice but to try to convince the little thing.

After explaining in every possible way and making one promise after another, the snow-white little critter puffed its cheeks and finally nodded its head unwillingly. Of course, it was impossible to return them as a whole. That Grade Nine Lotus had been held in custody as expected. In addition, the snow-white little critter gathered a small amount of quality goods from among the big sack. It was going to keep those as snacks.

“Whoosh!”

With a flash of white light, Keke disappeared along with the big sack.

Even while waiting, they were feeling anxious. The little critter had not returned even after half an hour later. In the end, Xiao Chen immediately soared into the sky, fully prepared to rush into the Treasure Trove Castle as if his life depended on it. He didn’t care if he was exposed anymore, the snow-white little critter was more important!

However, just at this time, Keke returned with wobbly steps. Its little belly was plump and it would let out a hiccup occasionally. From time to time, it would turn its head around to recall fondly.

My god!

He realized immediately, after sending the items back, it ate heartily in other people’s place. For the time being, it seemed like they wouldn’t need to pay the “debts”.

“Good, the items have been returned!” The fatty let out a breath of relief. They had kept the Grade Nine Lotus, but it was only one out of the many spiritual items after all. Although it could be rated as an absolute gem, it had been left in the dust for two to three years and never been sold all along. It’s original price was only a hundred thousand odd gold coins. It was only recently, due to the warbeast tournament, that they began raising the price crazily. This kind of loss would definitely cause a big gale, but it was still better than the whole store being raided.

The Treasure Trove Castle had a few branch stores, namely: the Superb Hall, the Airspace Pavilion, the Treasure House, etc. Each and every store had valuable spiritual items. The Grade Nine Lotus from the Superb Hall was their family jewel.

Legend says Buddha once had a Grade Nine Lotus. It could seriously be rated as an exceptionally valuable object. After Buddha had refined the Grade Nine Lotus, not only did his body become more powerful, even his power had increased dramatically. This was a sacred item that everyone in the world of martial arts yearned for.

Naturally, the Grade Nine Lotus at the Superb Hall was not this magical. However, it was still a treasure produced by the nature. It was one of the very few giant lotus. Its entire body was crystal clear and sparkling like the jade. The lotus was as big as a basin and felt warm to the touch. It was emitting a glorious radiance like warm jade.

“Alas, it’s such a pity, only the size of a basin. If it was raised for another few dozen millenniums, it might become a sacred item on the same level as Buddha’s giant lotus!” The fatty looked at the treasure with remorse.

This was obviously very unrealistic. Just who would be able to live for a few dozen millenniums? Who would be able to wait for that long? Even immortals were unwilling to wait for countless years. Then what about the merchants? They valued money highly, once they found this kind of spiritual items, they certainly wouldn’t let it continue to grow in the nature.

Zhuge fatty said that this giant lotus was originally formed by an ancient lotus found on the lake of a tall mountain. There were traces of the Buddhists on the huge mountain. They presumed that the Gods and Buddhas must have been there a really long time ago.

Hearing these, Xiao Chen also felt a little remorseful. This lotus might really be related to Buddha’s Grade Nine Lotus. Maybe it was really sprouted from the sacred lotus’ seed.

After peeling off the jade-like lotus, a burst of fragrance filled the air. There were four lotus seeds about the size of a dragon eye fruit within. The seeds were dark green and flickered like jadeite. It was very dazzling. The color of the seeds was substantially different from ordinary lotus seed, and they were much bigger too. It was indeed a sacred item. The fragrance pervaded the entire courtyard.

The four jadeite lotus seeds immediately made Keke so infatuated that it almost shut its two eyes. It felt that even after returning so many spiritual items, keeping this treasure alone was more than worth it! However, it already didn’t have much appetite as it had already ate its fill at the Superb Hall earlier.

Xiao Chen felt that the situation was far from good. He hastily covered up the four crystal clear lotus seeds, then he called Keke, Tenax, and the Azure Dragon King over. He was unbiased and gave each sacred beast one seed. The last one was kept for himself.

“Gulp it down immediately. Otherwise, when the aroma fills the air, it will attract unwanted attention!”

After saying these, Xiao Chen took the lead and stuffed the crystal clear lotus seed into his mouth. The instant the lotus seed entered his mouth, it transformed into boundless spiritual energy and rushed into his internal organs. The spiritual energy was flowing through all kinds of arteries and veins, but in the end, it was all deprived by the Central Pivot ⌈¹⌋ along the spine. The glorious divine radiance condensed into a speck of light. The Central Pivot had been divinized!

The exuberant life energy bubbled out and pounded against Xiao Chen’s internal body. After that, it established a connection with the other divinized acupoints. The golden thread was like a net of vein as it linked them up!

After fifteen minutes, everything finally calmed down as Xiao Chen opened his eyes. He was no longer surprised by the divinization of the acupoints. It could be expected to happen frequently in the future.

The snow-white little Keke bit the lotus seed like it was eating candy. However, without waiting for it to sample the taste, the lotus seed already transformed into spiritual energy and rushed into its body. This made the little thing feel very regretful. It could only click its tongue while reflecting on the aftertaste.

As for the jade-like lotus leaves that were peeled off, Xiao Chen didn’t waste any of them. He pounded them into pieces and spread them on Tenax’s wounds. The glossy lotus also contained boundless worldly essence. It reacted to the treasured tree in Tenax’s body as the spiritual energy seeped into its body via the wounds.

It could be seen clearly, the terrifying wounds on Tenax’s body were healing as that jade-like lotus wilted at high speed. In the end, it turned into ashes and fell down.

The rainbow-colored radiance flickered as Xiao Chen carried Tenax back into the house. He was expecting a full recovery in one night.

These days, the Azure Dragon King’s consciousness was slowly recovering. However, it was still very taciturn, and even a little downcast. It didn’t reject Xiao Chen. Clearly, it had already recognized him as an old friend. After it gulped down the lotus seed, the Azure Dragon King silently returned to the house and continue to heal its mental trauma.

The fatty was very envious as he watched the entire process. Unfortunately, due to his poor constitution, he was unable to enjoy the lotus seed.

When night fell, the news arrived from the warbeast castle. The outcome of the other two grand battles had been concluded. The one meter long Gold Lion King killed its opponent in a matter of seconds and advanced to the next round. The little White Tiger also had an extraordinary performance. After going through a fierce battle, it inflicted heavy injuries on the other young beast king and advanced without a hitch.

With the Grade Nine Lotus stolen from the Treasure Trove Castle, a huge disturbance was given rise as expected. It was abuzz with noise since afternoon until the night time. Zhuge fatty had become the first suspect as it should be. Who asked him to go and bargain with them everyday since these past few weeks!

The fatty felt very depressed. He only sniffed the aroma for a while only, and yet, he had already become the primary suspect. On the other hand, the perpetrator went to the Undying Sect as if he was not involved.

The Undying Sect occupied an extremely wide territory in the Celestial City. It was like a landscape garden. There were fine woods within the territory, pavilions and kiosks in the gardens, small bridges over the clear spring, as well as the waterfall. The scenery was very magnificent, it was just like a fairyland.

Xiao Chen cursed silently. In this Celestial City where every inch of land was as precious as gold, every major power’s residences, ancient castles, or palaces were bound to have a big garden, with one building connected to another. Just how much wealth did they possess? This was too extravagant!

“It’s you?!”

After entering the Undying Sect’s garden, Xiao Chen just happened to run into Yan Qingcheng. The beautiful Yan Qingcheng was wearing a one-piece blue striped dress. Her slender body was outlined perfectly. Her lily-white face did not lose the least bit of splendor. Her face without makeup appeared attractive and outstanding. Her matchless complexion could even make a stoneman feel palpitated.

“What, am I not welcomed?” Xiao Chen wore an unruly expression. It was poles apart from his sharp expression when confronting an enemy.

“Of course you are not welcomed at this place!” Yan Qingcheng felt contradicted. Since she started practicing the Obliterate Demon Absolute God, she couldn’t be too far apart from Xiao Chen. At the very least, they must stay in the same city. However, she always felt unpleasant whenever she faced this man who once took her as a captive.

“How can you talk like that? Is that how you treat your guest? I am here to take you home as a lifelong partner!”

“You…” Yan Qingcheng was so angry that her lily-white face had turned as red as an apple. Looking at Xiao Chen’s negligent appearance, she wished she could go over there and slap him. However, she restrained herself and let out a humph, “Go back and daydream by yourself!” She turned around and left as soon as she said these words.

“Swish!”

Xiao Chen unfolded the Undying Divine Wings and got behind Yan Qingcheng. He didn’t say anything and followed her along the way.

“Why are you following me?”

“Why can’t I follow you?”

That was a completely unconcerned tone. It made Yan Qingcheng especially resentful. Nobody had ever been this rude to her. Even if others were attracted by her peerless beauty and longed for her, all they did was compliment her and didn’t dare to make their move. Yet, how could this guy be so shameless. He was truly hateful through and through!

“Xiao Chen, you…” Yan Qingcheng bit the lower lip with her silver teeth, then she fumed, “If you want to find the elder, just go! If you continue to nag me, don’t blame me for calling out for help.”

“Why do I feel like this is a little like the drama of the beauty and the evil tyrant?”

“Aren’t you the evil tyrant?” Yan Qingcheng was as agile as the butterfly. She flew up gracefully and just when she was about to fly into the depths of the garden. Xiao Chen said:

“You mean I am the evil tyrant? Then how about you point out some accomplished facts, otherwise I will feel like I have been wrongly accused.”

Looking at this young creature that would one day make the deities shrink back, many people wanted to fight over it and take it for themselves. However, many people already heard this Dragon King was different from the others. It seemed to have some relationship with that existence in the depths of the south. If they harbored any unfathomable motives, they would only be inviting disaster upon themselves.

As Tenax noiselessly swept its eyes over all directions, apart from loneliness, it also felt a little sad. Killing their own siblings and forge ahead by trampling on the carcasses of the other Dragon Kings, that was their destiny!

Only the strongest could survive until the very end!

Otherwise, they could only withdraw from the path of the Dragon King, and stop dreaming of ever becoming the Ancestral Dragon!

At this moment, only Xiao Chen could understand Tenax’s grief. It must continue to tread on this cruel path without turning back!

Not for itself, but for the entire dragon race.

The dragons needed a genuine Ancestral Dragon to lift the seal on them!

Every young Dragon King was shouldering this mission. Even if only one of them remained alive in the end, they wouldn’t feel remorseful even after their death.

Xiao Chen knew, once that Azure Dragon King in his house fully recovered its consciousness, it would turn into Tenax’s next opponent. When both of them were at their peak state, they would fight each other in a life and death battle, killing each other to absorb that little bit of Ancestral Dragon aura.

Without any delay, Xiao Chen quickly walked out of the VIP lounge to get Tenax. He wanted to bring it back to the house as soon as possible.

“Congratulations, congratulations, Tenax has triumphed in the first round.” Zhuge fatty jumped out with his entire face covered in smiles. It seemed like he could already see the brilliant rays of that ten thousand gold coins.

“Let’s not talk about these, where is the peerless spiritual items I asked you to buy? Why haven’t I received anything after such a long time? I need them now to assist Tenax.”

As soon as Xiao Chen raised this subject, Zhuge fatty immediately became furious and said, “Those old ******** are really too greedy! Once they learned that I want to buy the Grade Nine Lotus, they actually raised the price from two hundred and eighty thousand gold coins to three hundred and eighty thousand! They seriously thought I am that foolish?! What’s more excessive is that, the other few families also raised their price. They are intentionally trying to cheat us of our money! Damn it! My lips are almost parched just trying to negotiate with them these days. These profiteers are really good-for-nothing!”

“You try to think of some methods as quickly as possible.”

After saying these, Xiao Chen immediately ran towards the backstage. He left as soon as he carried the bloody Tenax in his arms.

They just happened to hear a man’s furious and grievous cursing by the time they left, “I want to kill that Silver Dragon, I want to kill that brat! They must compensate for my Gold Dragon King, oh my Dragon King… how should I explain this to the elders…”

Xiao Chen was not in the mood to respond to this man. He didn’t have that kind of time and mood at the moment. He carried the heavily injured Tenax and soared into the sky. They got back home rather quickly.

He shook Keke to rouse it up from its deep sleep and hurriedly borrowed the rainbow-colored sacred tree from the little thing. Xiao Chen attempted to link up with the treasured tree over and over. He finally succeeded after an hour later and established a harmonious connection with the sacred tree.

The sacred tree glowed with rainbow-colored radiance, and then it was transferred to Tenax’s body. The rainbow-colored radiance flickered as the sacred tree slowly seeped into Tenax’s body. The tough little dragon’s injuries were beginning to heal.

Only now did Xiao Chen finally let out a breath of relief.

Not long later, Zhuge fatty arrived to inform him that the ******* profiteer had raised the price again. He wouldn’t sell it for less than four hundred thousand gold coins. Furthermore, he made it known that this was an extraordinary phase. If by any chance one of those sacred beasts who participated in the competition were on the verge of dying, these peerless spiritual items could be equivalent to a second lives, third lives, or even fourth lives!

“Mother f—! How I wish a thief would just go and steal it from him.” The fatty was grumbling resentfully.

“Whoosh!”

The snow-white little critter disappeared with a streak of light.

“Hey, hey, hey, hey…” Frightened, the fatty immediately called out, “Come back here! I was only saying!”

Xiao Chen also didn’t manage to stop it in time.

The snow-white little critter had run off just like this!

Leaving the fatty and Xiao Chen behind to look at each other speechlessly. Then, they shouted at the same time.

“Mother f—! Go after it!”

The fatty rushed out of the courtyard, and Xiao Chen immediately soared into the sky.

The snow-white little critter was unable to restrain itself. The last time it went with the fatty, it was already very restless. This time, they knew what was going to happen without even the need to think.

The fatty was really frightened. He kept muttering to himself, “Oh no, oh no, oh no… If we’re caught, we have to compensate with double the price!”

Xiao Chen was a little speechless, the snow-white little critter was really too fast. In just a moment, it was already nowhere to be found. It was really not easy to deal with this little critter! He wanted to chase after it, but that option was not viable anymore, because someone had actually smashed their front door and entered the courtyard aggressively. The door almost rammed onto the fatty.

“This is the place, smash it to smithereens and find that silver dragon for me no matter what! I want to make it pay for my Gold Dragon King’s life!”

A middle-aged man brought a group of underlings to crash into the house. The fatty was caught instantly and was slapped five to six times in a row. The fatty was utterly confused and almost slumped onto the ground.

“Kid, you live here?”

“My god, you stupid uncle! You dare to hit me? Do you know who am I? Let go of your dog’s claw!” The fatty immediately flared up. Although he was not directly related to the Zhuge family, he still possessed some authority. Nobody ever dared to look down on him, nor had he never suffered this kind of loss.

“I am the guy you are looking for, let him go!” Xiao Chen flapped the Undying Divine Wings and landed on the ground in that very instant. He felt extremely disgusted with this middle-aged man. He was really too shameless, it’s not like he was an ignorant ten years old child. He was already forty plus years old, and yet, he still behaved like this. It was really hard to see him in any favorable light.

“Very good, it is you, I still remember your face!” The middle-aged man laughed nastily. He released the fatty and walked over with large strides, then he said, “Kid, don’t make things difficult for me, just give the silver dragon to me!”

“You sure are shameless. Since you came to participate in the warbeast tournament, you should know the rule. Nobody will be responsible for the death of the warbeasts in the arena, don’t you feel embarrassed to come and find me after the match?!” Xiao Chen really wished he could slap this guy in the face. He had seen someone shameless before, but not this shameless.

“I am definitely getting that silver dragon. Otherwise, you go and personally kill it in front of me!” The middle-aged man was wearing a sinister smile.

“You want to kill Tenax? You will only invite disaster to the person backing you up! If you want to kill, then go and ask that person in the depths of the south first!” Xiao Chen wanted to force this guy to fall back.

“Who are you trying to scare? Other than wild beasts and even more wild beasts, what else is there in the depths of the south? You want us to go and ask the wild beasts?”

“Did you only arrive at the south recently?”

“We covered several thousand of miles and just arrived two days ago.”

Xiao Chen was speechless as he looked at him and said, “I suggest you should go around and ask about that person in the depths of the south first. Otherwise you wouldn’t even know how you die! The elders from your family should have come along right? You should go and ask them about it!”

“We are going to seize that silver dragon before reporting back to the elders!” The middle-aged man laughed nastily and said, “Kid, why don’t you make it easy for me? Give me the Dragon King and go kill yourself!” ⌈¹⌋

He clearly intended on killing Xiao Chen.

“I have seen someone shameless, but none as shameless as you!” Xiao Chen almost laughed out loud due to anger. This guy was really a total mess, Xiao Chen really wished he could just slap him in the face.

However, without waiting for Xiao Chen to make his move, the other party was already sending a slap towards his face. If that slap really hit the mark, half of Xiao Chen’s head would turn into minced meat. The gale gave rise by the slap was really too heavy, so much so that it even produced a thunderous noise.

“Swish!”

Xiao Chen moved backwards and landed on the ground as light as the feather.

“Historia?!” The middle-aged man frowned and said, “So young…” He clearly felt a little apprehensive and asked, “Which sect do you belong to?”

“Only now did you ask, isn’t it a little too late? Since you knew I have a Dragon King with me, you should have thought of this question first.”

“Hmph! There’s nothing amazing to have a Dragon King by your side. We got our Dragon King from a scramble!” The face of the middle-aged man became dark as he looked at Xiao Chen and said, “Although you have the Undying Divine Wings, your secret art is definitely not of the Undying Sect’s. Although you have accumulated sword-qi in your body, you are definitely not from the Solitary clan. That’s because you don’t carry a metal sword on your back. In this south desolate region, those are the only two clans that make me feel a little apprehensive. However, we originally have an old grievance with the Undying Sect to begin with. Even though I can guess you have some relationship with the Undying Sect, I won’t feel apprehensive to kill you!”

“Swish!”

The middle-aged man rushed over. The power accumulated in his palm made people feel speechless. The surge of power made this space rumble as the domain directly pounced towards Xiao Chen. He wanted to confine Xiao Chen in the domain.

Xiao Chen did not face him head-on. He unfolded the Undying Divine Wings and soared into the sky. He silently concentrated his spiritual sense on the two killing weapons in his palms. After a few days of probing around, he found that although he was unable to control the jet-black metal engraving and golden divine halberd, he could occasionally make his palm “transform into weapons”.

“Kid, come down here at once. Otherwise I will go in and kill that silver dragon!” The middle-aged man hooted on the ground.

Xiao Chen was unable to feel the aura of the golden divine halberd, but the jet-black metal engraving in his left hand trembled for a little while as his left hand was shrouded by the jet-black radiance.

Xiao Chen didn’t even think twice and immediately rushed over there. That was because he had a very limited time. The jet-black light ball could only be maintained for a split second.

Looking at Xiao Chen swooping down, the middle-aged man lifted his palm upward.

The jet-black radiance glinted. Xiao Chen’s left palm seemed to have been enlarged by several fold. The dark giant palm gave rise to the whistling sound of the wind and directly shattered the middle-aged man’s domain. After that, it knocked against the palm of the middle-aged man.

“Snap!”

“Ah!!!”

The middle-aged man let out a miserable shriek. The jet-black giant palm immediately crushed his right palm!

Xiao Chen did not stop there. The giant palm ruthlessly swept past the middle-aged man’s chest and sent him flying with a bang. A bunch of blood splashed everywhere in the sky.

At this moment, the jet-black metal engraving finally lose its connection with Xiao Chen.

The middle-aged man had suffered a serious damage. Up to seven or eight of his breastbones were snapped. On the other hand, Xiao Chen felt very refreshed. He originally wanted to slap this guy anyway, he didn’t expect his wish was really granted.

The middle-aged man was a Historia level expert after all, even though he suffered a serious damage, he quickly stood up. Although his chest had already caved in, and his right palm was crushed, his fighting strength was still abundant!

“Kid, what was that just now?”

“Why so much nonsense? Aren’t you going to kill me and snatch my silver dragon? Bring it on!” Right now, Xiao Chen had taken the initiative.

The middle-aged man smiled coldly. He walked forward with large strides and waved his other arm.

Xiao Chen was no longer moving back, he faced the middle-aged man head-on with his right palm.

With a loud bang, two palms collided. Xiao Chen fell back half a step and the middle-aged man coughed out a mouthful of blood. He was already heavily injured and was unable to go all-out. Even using only one-third of his strength, he would cough out a big mouthful of blood.

Since he had gained the upper hand, Xiao Chen naturally wouldn’t hold back. After refining the two ancient artifacts, even if he was not able to utilize them, his palms were still as sharp as the divine weapons due to their existences. This allowed Xiao Chen to directly face the middle-aged man.

The “banging” sound never stopped. Xiao Chen made the middle-aged man lose his will. The middle-aged man was coughing out blood unceasingly. His expression was downcast and looked extremely pale.

In the end, Xiao Chen directly made this middle-aged man pass out. Just when he wanted to split him in two, Zhuge fatty shouted, “Seal his power and let me vent my anger!”

Xiao Chen sealed his power. After that, he slapped the middle-aged man until he woke up and tossed him in front of the fatty.

The fatty was really unrestrained. He directly sit astride on the middle-aged man’s broken ribs and slapped him continuously.

“You dare to hit me? Don’t you know who am I? Zhuge Liang! Never heard of it? This is abomination, illiterate! Have you ever read the Romance of the Three Kingdoms passed down from the mortal world? That is a masterpiece. You know who am I now? No? You’re infuriating me! Illiterate! I hit, hit, hit…”

“Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!”

The fatty knew Xiao Chen had the intent to kill. This guy definitely wouldn’t live to see another day, he wouldn’t need to worry about the other party coming back to seek vengeance. Slapping him now was only to give vent to some of his anger.

“Swish!”

A human figure swayed as an elderly man appeared in Xiao Chen’s courtyard.

“Where it is possible to let people off, one should spare them!” The elderly man looked to be around fifty to sixty years old. He looked like a character of strength.

Xiao Chen immediately felt his heart sunk. Could this be the middle-aged man’s teacher? If that was the case, then this could be troublesome.

“I am the elder of the Undying Sect, Liu Qingfeng. I am Yan Qingcheng’s martial uncle. Although this man is at odds with my sect, we are still from the same Demon Sect. It’s fine to fight against each other, but we definitely must not kill.” The old man lightly waved his hand and sent the fatty flying away all of a sudden. He propped the middle-aged man up and said to Xiao Chen, “Don’t need to worry, I will explain the situation to his teacher.”

As he looked on, Xiao Chen simply kept his mouth shut.

Until the figure of the old man almost disappeared, Zhuge fatty shouted, “The Undying Sect is owing Xiao Chen a wife!”

The old man’s body inclined to the side and almost took a fall. He turned his head around to cast a glance and left at lightning speed.

Xiao Chen nodded his head and spoke to himself, “That’s right, I should pay a visit to the Undying Sect stationed in Celestial City!”

Just at this time, with a flash of white light, Keke showed up with its head sticking out from the edge of the door. Then it scuttled into the courtyard with a whoosh.

“My @#%￥!” The fatty cried out in surprise, “It, it, it…” He was so agitated that he couldn’t form a proper sentence.

Xiao Chen was also so shocked that his jaw almost dropped as he quickly rushed to the courtyard.

The Lion Dragon King was frighteningly calm. It was as majestic as a lofty mountain as it coldly gazed at Tenax.

Tenax also stared at the Golden Dragon King without batting an eye.

They had already recognized each other. That kind of aura and battle intent would never change, they were unique to each and every Dragon King!

They did not communicate with the dragon language, nor did they let out a deafening roar. They were sizing each other up in silence like two peerless swordmasters.

Needless to doubt, after the Golden Dragon King — who was originally as calm as an ancient well — recognized Tenax, its eyes were burning with passion. That pitiful little dragon that was weaker than any other little dragons on the dragon island had evolved, and its rate of improvement was much faster than the Golden Dragon King.

“Swish!”

Tenax finally made its move. It was precisely waiting for this chance. Its silver body left a beautiful streak of light as it charged towards the Golden Dragon King. One silvery light on the warbeast stage transformed into a few dozen afterimages.

The Lion Dragon King was as cool as an iceberg. It jumped up in that instant, but instead of backing off, it was closing in and clashed with Tenax. The golden divine radiance illuminated the entire stage.

“Whoosh!”

Tenax suddenly changed direction while in midair, it was inconceivable. That was totally the angle of refraction. Following that, it made a horizontal sweep with its Ancestral Dragon tail.

“Bang!”

The sharp and clear sound spread through the entire stage. Tenax landed on the ground smoothly. The Gold Dragon King had been ruthlessly hit in the head. Its body was flipping in midair as it fell on the ground.

A terrifying wound appeared on the Lion Dragon King’s face. It was a deep cut. More than ten golden dragon scales on its neck had fallen as the blood gushed out. Among the bright red blood, there were actually traces of gold color.

Every spectator became silent. On the other hand, the older generation experts were savoring every particular movement of the two Dragon Kings! They were fully aware of the dragon’s potential. Even though the Dragon Kings were still young, they must have inherited some secret techniques that no outsiders could learn about.

And the youth generation was roughly guessing; if it was them, would they be able to dodge that attack just now? The answer was definitely negative. If they had not reached the realm of Historia, it would be very difficult to dodge an attack that fast!

It was extremely quiet on the warbeast stage. The Gold Dragon King didn’t seem to realize there was a terrifying wound on its body. It was still gazing at Tenax with an ice-cold expression. However, the golden rays of light emitted by it was getting brighter. It was currently preparing a powerful attack.

Tenax was very calm. It didn’t have any particular mood swings as it quietly looked at the Lion Dragon King.

“Swish! Swish!”

The two Dragon Kings moved at almost the same time. The Gold Dragon King threw itself forward. Its right claw was sweeping towards Tenax’s chest. Its left claw was curling up slightly, as if it was defending. Then again, it looked like it was preparing to launch a thunderous attack at any given time! It could even be said to possess both offense and defense.

At the same time, it had already opened its mouth and aimed for Tenax’s neck with the sharp dragon teeth. On the other hand, the Ancestral Dragon horns on its head were flickering with gold radiance. It looked like it would launch an attack. Then again, it seemed like it was taking a defensive stance.

It must be mentioned, the Gold Dragon King’s stance contained both offense and defense. It was very efficient and unscrupulous. The Gold Dragon King was like a seasoned expert, it made people exclaim in admiration.

Tenax had already rushed into close quarters. It immediately inclined towards the side and rushed to the side of the Gold Dragon King. After that, it swung its draconic body ferociously and rammed against the Gold Dragon King’s side. This method was very appropriate. It avoided all the assaults and attacked the enemy where it was most lightly guarded.

“Bang!”

As the body of the two Dragon Kings rammed into one another, they rolled towards the opposite sides respectively. Then, they jumped up almost at the same time and confronted each other again.

“Roar…!”

The two Dragon Kings let out a roar for the first time. Their roars were seriously ear-splitting. The barrier set up by fifty Psychics was destroyed. The dragon roars soared into the Ninth Heaven, the sound was ringing in everyone’s ears like the sudden clap of thunder. More than half of the people passed out on the spot.

The experts hastily entered the arena and sealed off the stage with newly constructed barrier.

At this time, the two Dragon Kings already closed the distance between them and clashed!

However, their speed were too fast. Everyone could not see their movements clearly anymore. They could only see a golden ray and silver ray winding together as the two Dragon Kings growled unceasingly on the stage.

Occasionally, the blood would be splashed everywhere. That was the blood of the Dragon King!

Xiao Chen’s mood fluctuated along with the two Dragon King’s rumble. With his current ability, he was able to see the battle of the two Dragon Kings clearly. Tenax had already received some fatal injuries. Its neck was cut open by the Gold Dragon King’s Ancestral Dragon horn. He could vague see the bones through the flesh, the wound was extremely grave.

However, Tenax’s power did not diminish. On the contrary, it became fiercer than ever. The silver rays of light had shrouded its entire body. It had executed the ancient battle skill to its full potential. Its power was inferior to the Gold Dragon King, so it could only score a victory by means of skill!

The Gold Dragon King also knew of some dragon martial skills. Despite how it was an inferior version, its tyrannical power was still something Tenax couldn’t match up to. After all, it was already 1.5 meter long, while Tenax was only a little more than one meter long. It was the differences between their age.

“Roar…”

The Gold Dragon King revealed its might. Two glaring golden light beams were launched from the Ancestral Dragon horns. Tenax was instantly submerged by the light beams.

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Tenax used an inconceivable footwork. At the critical moment of life and death, it actually escaped from the surge of deathly gold radiance. Following that, its footwork became more profound and swift. Each step actually gave rise to a thunderous sound as one silvery light after another appeared under the soles of its feet.

The faintly discernible ancient patterns seemed to have overcome the vicissitudes of time and miraculously appeared at the present time. One draconic pattern after another actually appeared around Tenax’s feet. Every time it took a step, the explosive noise transmitted outwards. After that, the patterns under its feet actually moved and formed a sea of stars.

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Its movement was outrageous. It was unimaginably fast.

“Pfff!”

It rushed to the left side of the Gold Dragon King in an instant and pierced its abdomen with the silver Ancestral Dragon horns. The blood gushed out right away.

Soon after, Tenax moved back with lightning speed.

The Gold Dragon King let out a roar. It turned its body around and emitted two golden glints from its eyes. After that, the dazzling rays of light shrouded its entire body, in that very instance, it jumped up and took flight!

With the speed of light, the Lion Dragon King left afterimages in the sky as it pounced on Tenax, who was on the ground. The Ancestral Dragon horns emitted gold radiance unceasingly.

The dazzling golden light immediately illuminated the entire stage. Tenax couldn’t fly, even though it had marvelous footwork, it was still impossible for it to take flight.

The Gold Dragon King practically went berserk. It was attacking unceasingly with its tyrannical power while swooping down continuously. It was pouncing on that silvery light on the ground.

Xiao Chen felt his heart sunk. This was the so-called one man army. The Gold Dragon King was strong enough, it was completely capable of crushing Tenax with only brute force. Moreover, it also knew a little bit of the dragon martial skills and was very proficient in the dragon’s most terrifying divine spell!!

“Boom!”

The violent energy wave surged forward and everyone was blinded by the resplendent gold radiance. The barrier created by the Psychics was shaking and almost broke down. The experts who was on standby at the side hastily went to reinforce the barrier.

The golden light had once again submerged Tenax. It sent the tough little dragon flying away immediately. Tenax’s entire body was stained by blood. The silvery light seemed to have become dimmer. Its skin and flesh were split as the dragon scales fell all over the ground. The blood had dyed the stage red.

Every spectator held their breath.

Within the VIP lounge, Xiao Chen was feeling very anxious. He felt a little suffocated.

The Gold Dragon King’s ice-cold pupils emitted two terrifying light beams. Its killing intent was undisguised as it transformed into a streak of golden light and rushed over.

Just at this time, Tenax — who hadn’t touched the ground yet — suddenly shifted a few feet to the side and barely avoided the Golden Dragon King’s certain kill attack. Then it transformed into a silvery light and jumped onto the Lion Dragon King’s back in that very instant.

The sharp dragon claws immediately left four bloody scratch on the Gold Dragon King’s body. And its head was firmly sticking to the Lion Dragon King’s body. It cut open the Gold Dragon King’s neck and almost snapped it off!

The opponent had fell for the bait!

Tenax succeeded and found a way out of a desperate situation!

“Howl!!!”

The Golden Dragon King sustained a serious damage. It let out an extremely miserable howl. The golden-qi all over its body was dazzling. It was as if a sun was suspending on the stage as a boundless power burst out.

“Boom!”

The Gold Dragon King exerted itself physically to shake off Tenax. Its weak draconic body swayed as it flew high into the sky.

Tenax was thrown onto the ground, the blood gushed out non-stop. It got up unsteadily, and was dripping with blood from head to toe, but its fighting spirit was unbendable as it looked at the Golden Dragon King in the sky arrogantly.

The Lion Dragon King’s ice-cold pupils gradually changed into anger. The pitiful little dragon that was far from a worthy opponent actually gave it such a serious damage today, this was a humiliation!

With its neck narrowly snapped off, it was only one step away from death’s door. The Golden Dragon King knew it was impossible to kill this opponent with brute strength anymore. The only sure kill method was to use the dragon’s most terrifying divine spell.

The Gold Dragon King was floating in the sky unmovingly. It was unwilling to swoop down anymore. After adjusting its breathing slightly, its pair of horns began to circulate with dazzling gold radiance.

“Rips! Rips!”

One golden radiance after another fell from the sky, they were even more terrifying than the sharp sword-qi. Each golden radiance contained a frightening power. This was the unique divine magic of the dragons!

Everyone could already tell, the wobbly Tenax definitely wouldn’t be able to fend off this attack. It could even be said that death was inevitable!

The unyielding tough little dragon did not feel apprehensive at all. It was dragging its injured body and moved at lightning speed. Its speed didn’t seem much slower compared to before.

And this time, its footwork became even more eccentric. When its four limbs touched the ground, the silvery light flickered and one after another, the draconic patterns fluctuated unceasingly as the sea of stars appeared under its feet. The specks of radiance dazzled the eyes.

And during this process, Tenax clearly paid a huge price. It coughed out a small mouthful of blood with every three steps!

Just at this time, something astonishing happened. Tenax suddenly executed an unfathomable footwork and it was actually ascending from the ground with every step it took!

It seemed to be ascending towards the sky as those starry diagrams appeared under its feet!

“Dragon Countersteps!”

Some older generation figures in the VIP lounge let out a cry of surprise!

“The legendary sky rending ancient martial skill!”

“Even deities could be stamped under the soles of the feet!”

……

Tenax changed from one position to another with each step. As if it was passing through empty space, it suddenly changed from one position to another. With only four steps, it ascended to the high altitude.

With the fifth step, it ruthlessly stamped on the back of the Gold Dragon King.

The sound of bones snapping resounded clearly. The Gold Dragon King’s body was split open at once!

With the sixth step, the dazzling gold radiance exploded. At the same time, the blood splashed everywhere. The Gold Dragon King’s body completely burst open!

Only the dragon head remained as it fell down from the sky.

Tenax’s entire body was throbbing with silvery light as it landed on the ground. It was standing on the stage proudly and swept its eyes past every spectator like a lonesome expert.

The condition of its injuries was very grave. A lot of dragon scales had come off and its bones were exposed in many places. It made people feel frightened just looking at its condition. Tenax walked in front of the Gold Dragon King’s head and then it seemed to be muttering softly after lowering its head. That dragon head on the ground emitted a gold radiance and burst open in the sky. Then, it transformed into specks of light and entered Tenax’s body.

That was the pure aura of the Ancestral Dragon!

That was not a power, nor a soul, that was purely an “aura” that symbolized the status of the Ancestral Dragon!

The spectators already became panic-stricken, a Dragon King had died!

A legendary Dragon King had been killed right in front of their eyes! One must know that once they grow up, they would become an existence that even the deities wouldn’t dare to provoke!

Over ten thousand people were already flaring up. This battle between the Dragon Kings was too suicidal, and also too pitiful. The people were shouting in succession.

At this moment, Tenax had undoubtedly became the most dazzling star. It was the true king of kings. It didn’t win by a fluke, it prevailed over its opponent with pure strength.

1. N/a

Today was the last day of the knockout competition. Xiao Chen wanted to see if he could find any exotic beasts that could achieve victory and fight on equal terms with the sacred beasts and Dragon Kings. He didn’t expect he’d really run into this kind of extraordinary little White Tiger. This would definitely become one of Tenax’s most formidable opponent!

The following matches were lacking suspense. The White Tiger didn’t emit any divine radiance at all, it was completely relying on the ancient battle skill to eliminate its opponents. It was very ruthless and didn’t leave any of its opponent alive. It had become a terminator not only in name, but also in reality.

Nobody dared to dispatch their warbeast anymore. Sending other cubs to the field was only sending them to their death!

The ordinary-looking White Tiger put an end to the Antarctic Warbeast Castle’s match.

Xiao Chen left this place and directly went to the Amber Warbeast Castle. He wanted to go there to find out the current circumstances.

The scale of the Amber Warbeast Castle was not inferior to the Antarctic Warbeast Castle. The halls were connected by the pathways. A huge crystal annulus was embedded on the walls of every VIP hall. The beauties in the halls were sweet and charming, fresh and pure. The fine liquor and delicacies were laid out on the desks. This place didn’t seem like a warbeast castle at all.

After arriving at this place, Xiao Chen immediately joined the crowd and watched the match on one of the several thousand general seats.

It must be mentioned, the appearance of the Dragon Kings had a really big influence on the warbeast tournament this time. There were really a lot of people who came to participate with their exotic beasts. They wanted to temper their warbeasts through the battles.

The Lion King on the stage could even be said to be invincible. In three consecutive battles, it ripped apart its opponents in three to five rounds, and triumphed with absolute superiority.

This was a little lion that looked as if it was made out of gold. It was glittering with golden light from head to toe, as if the raging flames were throbbing. Three of its heads looked exactly the same, mighty and out of the ordinary. Its body length was only a little more than one meter long, but when it was squatting over there quietly, it possessed an unimaginably powerful presence.

Furthermore, the most peculiar part was that, it had a third eye on each of its forehead. The golden lights emitted from the vertical eyes were very glaring! It was as if the eyes contained a terrifying power.

It was another exotic beast! Xiao Chen could already be sure, this Lion King could definitely be placed among the beast kings directly!

As expected, during the last day, the powerful golden Lion King put an end to the Amber Warbeast Castle’s match. With it crouching low over there, nobody dared to dispatch their warbeast to the field anymore.

It was too tyrannical and ferocious. It didn’t leave behind any survivor.

Xiao Chen left this place and rushed towards the Beast King Castle. That was the industry operated for a few generations by the Mander family.

Originally, there were four warbeast castles in Celestial City. The Reagan family was in control of the “Celestial Warbeast Castle”, their reputation could even be said to be very tempestuous.

However, it perished several dozen years ago. The reason was because they had a conflict with that youth who claimed to have come from the depths of the south.

That youth was ridiculously strong. He had beaten almost everyone among the youth generation in Celestial City at that time. He even slapped the scion of the Reagan family until he was almost dead. It caused the Reagan family to dispatch the older generation experts and almost killed that youth who claimed to have come from the depths of the south.

They never thought that they would invite a huge disaster due to this. During the night time, the black gale engulfed the entire Celestial City. Those older generation experts from the Reagan family were crushed in a flash. Even their family’s “Celestial Warbeast Castle” perished in a single night.

At that time, that warbeast castle had no less than three fully grown sacred beasts. Even Nirvana level expert had to fall back. It was easy to imagine how much strength they possessed! However, after the black gale swept past, everything was gone. In the early morning, only the ruins were left behind.

These past dozen years, the Reagan family was continuously trying to rebuild the warbeast castle. Right now, they were already on the verge of making a comeback. However, they were lacking a few sacred beasts to guard the castle.

Xiao Chen quickly arrived at the Mander family’s Beast King Castle. This place was very noisy, which was accompanied by hoots of laughter from time to time.

He only found out why after entering the warbeast castle. There was a basin-sized black tortoise on the warbeast stage. The way it was sticking its head out to look around was very comical.

Xiao Chen felt a little dizzy. Why did they even send out an old tortoise to take part in the competition?

However, from the clamor of the crowds, he finally understood what’s going on. This tortoise came from the north, its owner had already testified that, this black tortoise was only five years old. It was not as old as people imagined. The most important thing was that it was very powerful.

Just at this time, an Alba Rhino went on the stage. Its entire body was crystal clear and flickered with glorious light. The rhinoceros horn directly launched a lightning and attacked the black tortoise.

“Swish!”

The black tortoise’s speed made everyone dumbstruck. It lightly swayed once and its figure disappeared. After that, with a loud bang, it pounded the back of the Alba Rhino. The rhino’s bones were snapped at once. Although it was not life threatening, it was impossible for the Alba Rhino to continue fighting.

The Alba Rhino had a powerful body. It was known by everyone that even a divine weapon would have a hard time harming it. However, it was actually defeated by the black tortoise like this, it made everyone utter a cry of surprise involuntarily.

The next match, a violent ape rushed to the stage. It was about two meters tall and covered by scary red fur from head to toe. The ape was flickering with dense bloody radiance and its mouth was even spewing electricity. It could even be said to possess the quality of the king.

However, the black tortoise’s performance made everyone very shocked. It was really too fast. It flew upwards swiftly and rammed into the chest of the blood-colored ape until it caved in. The violent ape fell on the stage with a loud bang.

Since then, nobody dared to mock and make fun of this black tortoise anymore. Strength makes right!

In the end, the black tortoise dominated the last match of the day at the Beast King Castle with absolute strength.

The elimination round dropped its heavy curtain on this very day. Five little beast kings were driven out from the standard warbeasts. They advanced smoothly and obtained the rights to participate in the following grand battle!

In merely ten days of rest and reorganization, the warbeast tournament shall begin.

The reward from the grand battle was so generous, it could make people tonguetied.

Every time the little sacred beasts battled, as long as they could prevail over their opponent, they could obtain ten thousand gold coins as the reward.

The one capable of seizing the title of the beast king would be given six hundred thousand gold coins as the reward. Obtaining the position of sub-beast king would be given five hundred thousand gold coins, and the third beast king would be given four hundred thousand gold coins.

In total, the reward summed up to the astronomical 1.5 million gold coins. Of course, it was impossible for the event planner to sustain losses. Since the grand battle had begun, the three major warbeast castles had increased the price of the one-time ticket to twenty gold coins. Each family could receive up to no less than a hundred thousand gold coins per day.

If they held the competition for seven to eight days, even excluding all kinds of expenses, they would still make a steady profit. It could even be said to be a sudden huge profits!

Naturally, in order to prevent a long drawn out word of mouth, the three major warbeast castles also spent much of their hard-earned savings. This time, they spent a large amount to purchase the relics of a legendary beast king. Legend says it was a sacred beast that once accompanied the Buddha. This relic was left behind by that sacred beast after it broke the realm of Nirvana. This reward would be given to the little sacred beast that obtained the title of the beast king.

Ten days passed in a flash. The order of the battle was decided by draw lots.

Tenax was actually selected for the first battle!

And its opponent was actually another Dragon King! It was a Dragon King flickering with golden radiance!

Everyone flared up at once!

The twenty gold coins were too worth it. At present, all the bad thoughts regarding the three warbeast castles were washed away. No matter how much gold coins they had to spend, they just couldn’t miss the battle of the Dragon Kings!

Xiao Chen was also very surprised. He absolutely never thought Tenax would run into such a powerful opponent during the first match. He had once seen this Golden Dragon King. It was the offspring of the Monarch Lion Dragon and was subdued by the older generation experts later on.

Of course, it was more unlikely for Tenax to be unfamiliar with this Dragon King. At that time, on the dragon island, at the vicinity of the sacred mountain, this Gold Dragon King and Crimson Dragon King were having a fierce confrontation. Tenax was extremely proud and aloof on that day. It was unafraid of death and issued a challenge to the two Dragon Kings. As a result, it almost got killed.

After one odd year, the Gold Dragon King’s tail had already evolved into the Ancestral Dragon tail. Its body length had reached approximately 1.5 meter.

And Tenax was also no longer that unremarkable black dragon with nothing but fighting spirit. It already evolved into a powerful Dragon King.

In the end, there were too many people coming to watch the battle of the Dragon Kings, so much so that even the three major warbeast castle’s enclosed warbeast stage was unable to contain the twenty thousand plus spectators. At the last moment, they set up several hundred large crystal screens in order to settle this problem.

Even the VIP lounges were fully booked. People booked the lounges three days in advance.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen was Tenax’s owner. They had prepared a specialized VIP lounge for him to watch the battle. Otherwise, he could only make Fairsky and Zhuge fatty to help him buy the tickets. With an ordinary method, it was impossible to buy anymore tickets.

On this very day, the ticket scalpers were reselling the tickets for more than ten times the price, but many people were more than willing to get ripped off.

The stage was eighty meters square, it was more than enough for two Dragon Kings to fight fiercely. They had a wide room for freedom of action.

The floor was glittering, it was already enhanced by many older generation experts. Unless one had the power of demigod, it was impossible to smash the warbeast stage to pieces. And the entire warbeast stage was sealed off by a barrier laid out by fifty Psychics. That was to prevent the light beam launched by the Dragon Kings to harm the spectators.

All the preparations were ready. The battle of the Dragon Kings was about to begin.

The divine radiance lingered on the entire body of the Gold Dragon King. It was as if it had been shrouded by golden raging flame. Even though they were separated by the barrier, the spectators could still feel a powerful pressure.

Although it was only 1.5 meter long, its might pressed down as heavy as an immemorial magic mountain. The Gold Dragon King’s eyes were incomparably ice-cold, it didn’t seem to possess any emotion.

This was a Dragon King that could even cause the deities to shrink back after it had grown up in the future!

This was a genuine sacred beast!

The instant Xiao Chen saw the Gold Dragon King, he felt his heart sunk. This Dragon King was too calm. That was because it was very confident in its strength.

The terrifying Monarch Lion Dragon, once awakened to the truth, they could surpass hundreds of the most powerful races. Everything was like a wisp of smoke in their eyes, they could surpass everything. Right now, this Dragon King was really too confident!

Xiao Chen felt anxious for Tenax. Although Tenax’s strength had advanced by leaps and bounds over this past year, its starting point was much lower after all.

The silver rays of light flashed as Tenax showed up on the stage. Its expression was as proud and aloof as it was in the past. However, its battle intent was as sharp as the divine sword. The intangible surge of energy caused the light screen to shake, as if they were on the verge of breaking down.

It made every spectator feel a slight chill, it felt as if there were sharp swords pointing at their throats.

The marble white color of the dawn sky emerged from the horizon as the bright red sun rose from between the mountains. The dazzling sunlight sprinkled down on the Celestial City, making this ancient city with grand history to flicker with a faint gold luster. The entire city was overflowing with thriving vitality, as if it was a wilting ancient tree given a new lease of life.

Early in the morning, every street in the huge city was already filled with stream of people. It became a boiling cauldron of voices not long after sunrise. Another noisy day had begun in the flourishing Celestial City.

The tempest last night, apart from washing the street clean and making the leaves of all kinds of plant more verdant than ever, it didn’t have the slightest influence on the inhabitants of the city. Everyone who lived at this place for a long time had already gotten used to this bizarre rain that only happened once or twice annually. They didn’t pay much attention to it.

Xiao Chen brought Keke along and leisurely walked into the North Style Academy to get breakfast. This was his daily habit. He was very satisfied to be living at the educational street. The atmosphere from this kind of faculty was most fitting for his training.

Of course, using Fairsky and Zhuge fatty’s words, Xiao Chen was also not a “virtuous type”. As far as the girls were concerned, he must have some “ulterior motive” for entering the North Style Academy’s dining hall and antique store.

Xiao Chen just ignored their words. There was no place more peaceful than the academy. Although he was very young, he would often lament at the fact that it was truly good to be young. There was nobody trying to outwit the others in the academy, everyone was very sincere. Things would become very complicated once he’s outside of the academy.

After eating breakfast, Xiao Chen took along two big chunks of roasted meat for Tenax and the Azure Dragon King. Taking two Dragon Kings to go out everyday would cause a huge commotion, so he had no other choice.

Quietly meditating until the sun was as high as three bamboos ⌈¹⌋, Xiao Chen then left by himself for the warbeast street.

The roars of the beast shook the earth. At the present stage, every warbeast arena was packed with people. It was already the final round of the knockout competition. It was the last match to decide the beast kings that would advance to the grand battle.

Dragon King and sacred beast were without a doubt, the king of the beasts. So they didn’t need to participate in the knockout competition. They only needed to wait until the knockout competition concluded and directly join the Grand Battle!

After paying a large amount for the ticket, Xiao Chen entered the Antarctic Warbeast Castle. The grade of the knockout competition at this place was very high. Only by winning seven consecutive fights would they be able to advance to the grand battle. There was no need to conduct elimination rounds.

Of course, the knockout competition conducted by the three major warbeast castles had very high standards. Only a true beast king could participate. They always conducted less than ten matches per day.

It must be mentioned, once a warbeast arena had attained the title of “castle”, there was indeed a qualitative leap. The entire building was really as magnificent as a castle.

Even with six thousand seats, it was not crowded. The seats surrounded the warbeast stage in a circle with flight of steps, allowing six thousand people to see the true beast kings fighting on the stage clearly.

Of course, since they were called the “warbeast castle”, that was not all they had to offer. They had some other three hundred VIP lounges. Every lounge was a dazzling sight. They had set up a big screen on the wall and projected the fight on the stage with a crystal ball made by Psychic. It allowed the people in the VIP lounge to watch everything on the stage clearly.

Moreover, the three hundred VIP lounges were also divided by grade. The best lounge at this place provided many special services. They had invited the beauties from Moonflower Castle to pour wine for you, they had also invited the girls from Spellbind Castle to massage your back. The service was so luxurious that it was unimaginable.

Antarctic Warbeast Castle was the Fair family’s biggest industry. Xiao Chen did not disturb anyone after he came in. There were only less than ten seats remaining among the six thousand general seats. However, people recognized him the moment he sat down.

The middle-aged man was Fairsky’s housekeeper. He immediately brought Xiao Chen to a VIP lounge. Without a doubt, all the best VIP lounges were already occupied. However, this lounge was not bad either. It was richly ornamented and everything was tastefully chosen.

A big screen was set on all sides of the walls, they could watch the battle from all around. There were even some lovable girls nearby waiting to serve the guests. This was practically a castle. Other than the long talk of the dozen of people, watching the battle was absolutely not a problem.

From this, it was easy to imagine how luxurious was the Antarctic Warbeast Castle. After all, they had three hundred VIP lounges all together!

“Roar…” The roar of a tiger caused the VIP lounge to shake. That sound was completely transmitted from the crystal screen. The White Tiger was only 1.5 meter long. It looked very ordinary, but its roar was very terrifying, it was forceful and vigorous.

The tiger raised its hip, moved its tail to and fro, then it pounced on its opponent. Those were the standard moves of the tiger. It looked very ordinary, but the Winged Leopard flickering with yellow light all over was actually pushed down and got ripped apart by the White Tiger. ⌈²⌋

An ordinary-looking White Tiger, yet it possessed out of the ordinary strength. It easily ripped apart a true beast king. It was easy to imagine how powerful was the White Tiger. Xiao Chen instantly became interested in it.

Without a doubt, this was a young warbeast. It was definitely coming for the groups of cub. Its adversary shall be the sacred beasts and Dragon Kings!

The White Tiger’s second opponent appeared. This was a golden eagle, about two meters long. It was like a ball of flame as it was flying in circle above the warbeast stage. After that, with a clear whistle, it transformed into a gold radiance as it dived down fast. Its sharp golden claws were even brighter than the sword-qi, they were sharper than the sword-qi. It was aiming straight for the ordinary-looking White Tiger’s head.

The one meter long White Tiger jumped to the side nimbly and dodged this attack.

“Crack!”

The sound of cracking transmitted outward. The resplendent claws of the golden eagle left a crack on the diamond floor. The surface that was claimed to be as hard as the adamantium was practically like a mud under its talons. The floor was unable to withstand even a single blow.

“Swish!”

The gold radiance flashed as the golden eagle spread out its steel-like wings and swept towards the White Tiger. In the end, the little White Tiger lightly jumped to the side and dodged again. The golden eagle soared into the sky and opened its beak. It actually launched a golden beam of light to attack the White Tiger. This golden eagle was a true beast king, there was no need to doubt its strength. It was able to control the spiritual energy. Compared to the powerful Psychic and Spell Master, it was even more powerful.

The little white Tiger jumped up and nimbly dodged the attack again. The golden light beam directly split open the surface of the stage. The violent energy billow was rumbling. This attack was actually not weaker than the power of the Exuvia Sixth or Seventh Celestial Layer. It was completely capable of fighting against the genuine young sacred beast!

The smoke and dust filled the air. The golden eagle swooped down, its sharp beak was pecking towards the little White Tiger’s eyeball, and its pair of glittering talons were aiming for the White Tiger’s abdomen. It was incomparably vicious.

This time, the little White Tiger did not dodge. It was actually waiting for the golden eagle unmovingly. Only until the golden light in the sky got within one feet did it suddenly jump to the side. It was unimaginably fast as it turned its body around and pounced back.

Even someone on Xiao Chen’s level was shocked. The White Tiger was really too fast. It only left behind two afterimages and soon after, the golden eagle was already pushed to the ground. It snapped the golden eagle’s neck with a bite and then transformed into a streak of white light as it fell back.

The headless golden eagle was rampaging on the ground for a while. Its sharp talons had ripped apart the diamond floor until it was beyond recognition!

“Can you find out who is the owner of this White Tiger?” Xiao Chen asked the beautiful lady waiting upon to serve him. He instinctively felt that, although this one meter long White Tiger might look mediocre, its strength could be ranked among the sacred beast. So much so that it might be more powerful than some sacred beasts!

“We tried to investigate before, but unable to find anything.” The lovely girl cast a glance at Xiao Chen and said softly.

The White Tiger’s next opponent was a young wolf. Although it was also one meter long, it was very magical. Its entire body was flickering with purple light. Just a slight movement and it would emit resplendent purple radiance that made people unable to open their eyes. The most peculiar part was that it didn’t have any wings, yet it was floating in the sky. It was able to defy gravity and fly!

This was definitely an exotic primal beast. This kind of warbeasts were usually powerful and terrifying.

As expected, when the purple wolf let out a long howl, it caused the entire warbeast castle to shake slightly. It was moving like a streak of purple lightning in the sky, shooting down one purple lightning after another to attack the White Tiger on the ground.

The purple wolf was extraordinarily powerful. Although it was evaluated as a true beast king, it already had the strength equivalent to a young sacred beast. It was completely possible to put it under the beast king group!

“Rumble!”

The smoke and dust filled the air. The warbeast stage actually crumbled apart. It was destroyed by the divine radiance of the purple wolf. However, the White Tiger did not receive any injury. It was as swift as a streak of light as it made one unpredictable maneuver after another on the ruins.

It miraculously dodged all the attacks. Then it provocatively tilted its head to the side as it looked at the young wolf in the sky. The White Tiger proceeded to extend its paw like a human and beckoned the purple wolf.

The young wolf in the sky was also an extremely intelligent cub. It squinted its eyes and launched two more purple light beams. After much consideration, it swooped down over and over again. That was because it was more terrifying in close quarter combat compared to controlling the spiritual energy.

They only saw a streak of purple light rushing towards the ruins in the twinkling of an eye and the dazzling rays of light stirred up the smoke and dust. A roar was transmitted from the ruins.

When everything finally calmed down, when the dust and smoke dissipated, everyone revealed an inconceivable expression. The chest of the incomparably powerful purple wolf was actually cut open. The purple blood flowed all over the ground. The glint in its eyes was getting dimmer gradually. And the White Tiger came out unscathed. Its body was not even stained by a drop of blood.

The White Tiger looked mediocre. There was nothing special about it at first glance. However, it possessed this kind of frightening power. It was scarily strong. Even some of the little sacred beasts wouldn’t be this powerful right? This was what everyone was thinking about.

For some reason, when Xiao Chen saw the White Tiger’s movements, Tenax’s dragon martial skill came to mind. He felt that the White Tiger must have received something similar. Its movements looked ordinary and mediocre, but it was too antiquated. Thinking about it carefully, that was definitely a very valuable ancient martial skill of the beasts!

Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, and so on were comparatively common. Telepathy, Undying Technique, and the others were comparatively rarer. As for the legendary Reincarnation, Time Control, Extreme Speed, and other such divine abilities were even rarer.

The Weapon Fusion learned by Xiao Chen after breaking through to Historia realm could be considered a rarely seen divine ability. It was the most fitting ability for his one and only way.

Historia, the realm where one slowly open the sealed door in their bodies and dig out the treasures stored within. All kinds of legendary divine abilities required them to train painstakingly before they start to open up gradually.

The first divine ability gave Xiao Chen a nice surprise. He was even more looking forward to the divine abilities he would get in the future!

The jet-black broken sword transformed into sword-qi and circulated within Xiao Chen’s body according to his will, it was like a surging river, then again, it was like a clear stream. With a flash, the broken sword appeared in Xiao Chen’s hand.

Right now, Xiao Chen naturally didn’t have the capability to thoroughly smelt the broken sword. If he had enough power to completely smelt the broken sword and fuse it with his flesh, then this broken sword would no longer exist in this world. It would become a part of his body.

“Swish!”

With a flash of light, the broken sword entered Xiao Chen’s left palm. When he waved his left arm lightly, a resplendent sword-qi was launched diagonally and let out a whistling sound. The unceasing torrent of sword-qi bubbled out and formed a dazzling light screen which cut through the curtain of rain with its unstoppable power!

He couldn’t smelt the broken sword, but with the jet-black broken sword hidden in his left palm, it was as if he was wielding the jet-black weapon in his hand. He no longer had to fear the divine weapon. At the same time, he was able to injure his enemy imperceptibly.

Weapon Fusion, since the body was a small universe by itself to begin with, it was possible to fuse everything within the body. After reaching certain heights, not only could he refine all kinds of divine weapons, even refining an immemorial magic mountain and store it within the body was not a problem!

Xiao Chen broke through to Historia realm and the first ability he received after opening the seal was definitely a very formidable and rarely seen divine ability.

Since he couldn’t refine the broken sword for the time being, Xiao Chen walked into the house to take out an ordinary-looking dagger. After that, according to his will, the dagger melted instantly and fused into his right palm. Lightly waving his palm towards a chunk of wood beam, it was cut off in a flash.

The dagger was thoroughly refined. Xiao Chen felt his right palm had the sharp property of the dagger. This was simply unimaginable. If he could smelt a lot of divine weapons and fuse it with his body, wouldn’t he became a living weapon, a moving armoury?!

This kind of divine ability was too freakish!

Next, Xiao Chen continued to smelt a few more swords. The result was as he had speculated. All of them fused into his flesh.

The pitch-black sky was incomparably oppressive. A screech suddenly resounded from the endless darkness and shook the entire Celestial City. The screech was very imposing, it sounded as if it fell from the highest of the heavens, then again, it also sounded as if it smashed the void and came from the ancient times.

Carrying on, the thunderous lightning burst out. One huge lightning after another appeared in the dark sky and made the sky brightly lit.

A divine halberd and a metal engraving burst out with dazzling rays of light in the sky of Celestial City. They attacked in criss-crossed pattern and instantly destroyed the endless shadows in the sky. Those were the shadows of the prehistoric peoples wearing ancient armors.

Was it an illusion?

Nobody knew.

“Sigh…”

Celestial City suddenly shook violently for a while. If it was if a huge living body was sighing. After that, all the lightning rushed towards the mother earth and entered the Celestial City.

When the lightning gradually became dimmer. Xiao Chen had seen it clearly. All the shadows of the ancients had been augmented again and then they transformed into one light stream after another as they flew towards Celestial City, blending into the ancient city under the dim light of night.

The tempest stopped at this point. During this pitch-black night, something inconceivable had indeed happened in the sky. However, compared to that time in the dragon island’s ghost town, this was nothing. It was not frightening, nor could it be regarded as unfathomable.

However, this was only on the surface. Xiao Chen had profoundly felt a boundless power shrouding the Celestial City. It was absolutely not inferior to the dragon island’s ghost town on that day.

That means this ancient city was hiding a great secret unknown to anyone.

Otherwise, it was impossible for the golden halberd and metal engraving to rush into the night sky. They were spiritual antiques, surely, they must have realized something one wished to keep secret.

The torrential black light flickered as the jet-black metal engraving fell from the dark sky, directly rushing towards the rainbow-colored sacred tree on top of Keke’s head.

Don’t look at how the snow-white little critter was usually muddle-headed, it was actually very clever. It had once personally experienced the power of the jet-black metal engraving and was fearful of it. The snow-white little critter immediately ran away from this place with a swish.

The jet-black metal engraving did not smash over as they imagined. It was as if it had treated the rainbow-colored sacred tree as its vessel. It became slower over time, and finally, it suspended in the courtyard.

Keke looked at it curiously. After that, it was pleasantly surprised as it transformed into a streak of light and rushed over there. It wanted to put away that jet-black metal engraving. Just at this time, Xiao Chen suddenly had a flash and shouted, “Keke, wait a moment.”

The little critter doubtfully landed on the ground and looked at Xiao Chen in puzzlement.

“Let me give it a try.”

He just comprehended the Weapon Fusion a moment ago. Xiao Chen wanted to give it a try and see if he could take this ancient artifacts into his body.

According to his will, the black light glinted and the metal engraving did not resist at all. It directly fused into Xiao Chen’s left palm. Almost at the same time, Xiao Chen felt his left palm was crushed. The sharp pain almost made him shout out loud. Following closely, the bones let out snapping noise unceasingly as his metacarpal was being reorganized.

At the same time, the jet-black broken sword in his left palm was forced out of his body. Meanwhile, the dagger and swords that were already refined and fused into his right hand slowly rematerialized in his body. After that, they were forced out of the body. However, by the time they fell onto the ground, they had already become a pile of scrap iron. All of them shattered into small pieces.

Such a tyrannical metal engraving. With it alone, no other ordinary weapons were allowed to coexist. Even the jet-black broken sword was forced out.

On the hollow of Xiao Chen’s left palm, a fingernail-sized imprint of the jet-black metal engraving appeared.

The golden halberd was brimming with murderous vibe. It left a streak of golden light in the sky, similar to a heavenly flame. Then it streaked across the vast sky like a meteor. As it fell towards the mother earth, it left behind a tail light and rushed towards the courtyard.

It seemed to have felt the aura of the black metal engraving from the rainbow-colored sacred tree and Xiao Chen. The resplendent divine light was so dazzling that one was unable to open their two eyes. The powerful pressure pressed down on Xiao Chen, Keke, and Tenax like a huge mountain.

Xiao Chen clenched his teeth. He made up his mind and executed the Weapon Fusion again. He made his move against the golden halberd. The blazing divine light glinted unceasingly. Xiao Chen experienced that sharp pain again in his right palm as his bones were being reorganized. The sharp pain made his entire head break out in sweat.

The golden divine light flickered unceasingly. In the end, all the rays of light finally dissipated and the imprint of the golden halberd appeared on Xiao Chen’s right palm!

Merging two ancient divine artifacts into his palms, this was a really daring attempt even for Xiao Chen. However, he found to his amazement that it was very hard to control these two ancient artifacts. He was unable to take them out smoothly anymore.

To fuse the two divine artifacts into his flesh, that was impossible! At the very least, he didn’t have the ability to do it now.

To manifest the power of the two divine artifacts, that was also impossible. Xiao Chen attempted several times and found that it was hard to manifest the divine power of the golden halberd and jet-black metal engraving. Despite that, his hands had become as solid as the divine weapons.

He was certain, if it was not divine artifacts like the golden halberd and metal engraving, any ordinary divine weapons wouldn’t be able to cause the slightest injury to his palms. Perhaps, even the ancient spear Pasteur wouldn’t be able to pierce through his palms.

“Squeak…”

Keke let out a squeak resentfully. It jumped onto Xiao Chen’s shoulder, grabbed a strand of hair, and blinked its big eyes to convey its dissatisfaction.

Xiao Chen smiled and said, “What do you need these ominous weapons for? Might as well put it in my body. At least they could be put to some use. They are nothing more than collections if you put them in your treasured tree.”

The snow-white little critter let out a “Hmph! Hmph!” sound resentfully. Then it extended its hairy little paws and waved it twice in front of Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen knew what it meant. It wanted to trade them with two peerless spiritual items.

“Heh-heh, good, no problem.”

From start to finish, Tenax was watching nearby. After the lightning faded away, it already recovered its calmness and aloof appearance.

Xiao Chen attempted to smelt the common swords. As a result, he found that it was possible to bring them into his body. However, if he wanted to refine them, they would turn into scrap iron and be forced out of his body.

With the existence of divine artifacts, no ordinary weapons were allowed to fuse with the body. They could only be stored. The ordinary weapons were too fragile in the face of two divine artifacts.

Xiao Chen laid out all the items he was carrying with him. Which comprised of: Keke’s rainbow jade shell, the jet-black broken sword, Suirenshi’s burial cloth, the iron chain used to lock up the white-shelled tortoise, the phoenix’s feather, and Suiren Gimlet. These were very important items, they couldn’t be thrown away.

Xiao Chen carefully attempted to fuse these items into his body. Five out of six items could be put away in his body, but they couldn’t be refined. If he wanted to refined them, they would be forced out of his body. Fortunately, they didn’t end up crushed like those ordinary weapons.

What made Xiao Chen most surprised was the Suiren Gimlet, this sixth item could actually be refined and it was not rejected by the golden halberd and metal engraving. This indicated it was a divine artifact on the same level as them! ⌈¹⌋

Xiao Chen endured the sharp pain and fused the Suiren Gimlet into his left foot. A very small imprint of the Suiren Gimlet appeared on the heart of his foot.

It was somewhat inconceivable. The Suiren Gimlet looked like a stone yet not a stone, looked like a wood yet not a wood. It appeared to be nothing special, if it was thrown into the pile of stone, nobody would even take notice of it. However, it was able to steadily occupy a space in Xiao Chen’s body in front of two ancient artifacts.

Xiao Chen was getting increasingly positive. The divine artifact that Suirenshi used to achieve the truth was absolutely not as simple as it looked on the surface. All of it was because he didn’t have enough power yet to understand this stone gimlet’s true might.

Of course, this so-called refining was not really to be taken in the literal sense. This was only the initial stage, if he really wanted to refine and fuse them into his flesh, it might take a really long time.

The clouds scattered and the starlight sprinkled down. It was as if those bizarre event just now never happened at all.

---

---

　

---

The black clouds rumbled at nightfall. The clouds as black as the ink were almost touching the ground.

It seemed like a storm was imminent.

Not a single soul could be seen on the main street. Such a big Celestial City seemed to have sunk into deathly silence. All the sounds have disappeared.

There was an indescribable pressure pouncing over to the mother earth from the dark horizon. It was as if the mother earth had been shrouded by a layer of dense fog in a flash.

At Xiao Chen’s residence, Fairsky and Zhuge fatty hurriedly bid farewell. The both of them had ugly an expression as they warned Xiao Chen not to rashly go out when the rainstorm approached at night.

When he asked why, the two of them were also not very clear. They said it was an old tradition passed down in Celestial City, that there would be one or two unusual rainstorms annually. In order to avoid getting frightened, it’s best if everyone don’t go out to walk around, regardless of the ordinary peoples or the powerful practitioners.

Just before leaving, Fairsky said in a low voice, “The elders said it themselves, this city might be a real Celestial City of the legend. The name is not given randomly. Just quietly stay in the house and nothing would happen. The resident of the city already got used to this. It’s only once or twice annually.”

After that, he hastily left with the fatty.

The black clouds were getting lower and lower, as if they had already touched the ground. However, the sound of thunder still couldn’t be heard. There was only a heavy pressure, as if there were hundreds of thousands of big mountains descending slowly.

Everywhere in the city was in absolute silence. It was as if Celestial City had lose its liveliness, not a sound could be heard anymore!

An indescribable palpitation gave rise to a bone-chilling fear!

Keke and Tenax felt very uneasy. They seemed to have felt something bad as they kept looking up at the dark sky from the courtyard.

Xiao Chen felt this scene was somewhat familiar. At that time when the ghost town appeared on the dragon island, it seemed just as oppressive and frightening.

Ghost town?!

Celestial City?!

As he thought of this, Xiao Chen suddenly had a flash. According to rumor, nobody knew when the Celestial City was constructed. They did not have any historical records, they only knew it had already existed for countless years. However, that tall and ancient city wall was still in good condition even after going through the vicissitudes of time.

Could it be that… the Celestial City and the dragon island’s ghost town were ancient cities from the same era?

Then, doesn’t that mean, this city had already been through the vicissitudes of countless eras since the day it was build?

Was it really a mysterious ancient city of the distant past?

Xiao Chen had a feeling that his conjecture might really be true!

Keke and Tenax vigilantly watched the dark sky. Their expressions seemed to be very grave.

Xiao Chen also felt very uneasy, but this kind of feeling was a lot different compared to the time when the ghost town appeared on the dragon island. At the very least, he didn’t feel the vibe of death. There was only a foreboding feeling, it felt as if there was a huge lifeform about to awaken from its ancient slumber.

“Rumble!”

The lightning suddenly flashed in the sky. One criss-crossed lightning after another cut through the dark sky and tore apart that heavy atmosphere from just now.

The downpour descended, the heaven and earth was covered by a curtain of water, and the tempest began.

The whooshing sound of the wind sounded scary. The tiles of the roof were making crashing sound as they were blown by the wind. All the rainwater were blown in the sky until they were rolling up and formed jets of water similar to the waterfall.

Of course, all of these could only be seen due to the brilliant rays of the lightning. After the flash of lightning disappeared and sunk into darkness, they could only hear the terrifying sounds and unable to see anything.

As dark as the ink! It seemed as if Celestial City had been covered by an opaque black cloth.

Just at this time, the jet-black broken sword at Xiao Chen’s waist suddenly trembled violently, as if it wanted to streak across the vast sky and leave.

Xiao Chen was very surprised. This pitch-black, abnormally heavy, yet ordinary-looking broken sword actually started to tremble today. It was a little bizarre.

One must know that the broken sword was only a little more than one feet long, yet it weighed more than a few hundred kilograms. If it was not filled with magic power, it wouldn’t even be able to cut down an ordinary metal, let alone the divine weapons. It looking very much mediocre until now. It had never manifested anything unusual before.

Of course, those so-called divine weapons also couldn’t cut down this broken sword.

Apparently, it’s neither weak or strong.

Xiao Chen reached out with his hand and firmly grabbed the sword shaft. He could feel the jet-black broken sword trembling violently in his hands. An ancient vibe seemed to throw itself in his face. Soon after, he could feel an extremely sharp sword-qi!

A resplendent ray of light directly cut open the empty sky. It streaked across the darkness and was launched towards the pitch-black sky.

It was still and quiet, no peculiar fluctuation transmitted from the dark sky. It was as if the endless darkness had swallowed up the sword-qi.

Just at this time, Xiao Chen suddenly felt an intense battle intent rushing into his mind from the broken sword. Some kind of instinct urged him to go to the courtyard and began to practice with the sword.

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

The sword-qi was as bright as the lightning as it was rumbling in the darkness and surging forward in the heavy rain. The broken sword in Xiao Chen’s hand seemed to glow with the radiance of life. It was like a raging black dragon as it violently emitted one divine radiance after another!

What the broken sword passed to Xiao Chen, rather than battle intent, it was more like sword intent! It wasn’t really a sword technique, but it conveyed one kind of creative concept to Xiao Chen. It was one kind of creative concept that belonged to the sword!

It could be understood, but not described. Xiao Chen was immersed in some kind of fantastic state. Nobody was teaching him the sword technique, but he was waving freely and unconstrained in accordance to that sword intent in his mind. The broken sword left a streak of rainbow as it slashed past. The pitch-black sword body was flickering with resplendent divine radiance. Xiao Chen felt that he had no choice but to draw the sword, and wave it without constraint. He wanted to arouse the skyrocketing killing intent and battle intent.

“Rumble!”

The lightning flashed in the sky. Xiao Chen was waving his sword alone under the heavy downpour. One sword radiance after another rushed straight into the dark horizon. The murderous aura sent shivers down the spine. The sword-qi were unstoppable!

Just at this time, along with the deafening thunder, Xiao Chen could hear an almost indiscernible sound of close quarters combat. In the endless dark sky, under the flash of lightning, one ancient figure after another appeared. Each of them was wearing an ancient armor and holding a divine weapon in their hand. A lot of people from ancient times were fighting fiercely in the sky!

Keke and Tenax also rushed under the heavy rain as they looked up at the horizon nervously.

The broken sword in Xiao Chen’s hand never stopped. Looking up at the horizon, he continue to wave the sword as he watched the faintly discernible battle.

With a “buzz”, the rainbow-colored sacred tree on top of Keke’s head suddenly flickered with brilliant rays. After that, a golden ray of light soared up and was launched into the high altitude. It was actually that golden divine halberd with skyrocketing murderous aura! It was flickering with glaring golden light, as if there was a golden flame throbbing on the weapon body.

Following closely, with an explosive sound, the black fog pervaded as a Metal Engraving rushed out of the rainbow-colored sacred tree. It flew up into the night sky in that instant.

The golden divine halberd and the jet-black metal engraving, those were the divine artifacts that went missing on the dragon island since ancient times. On that day, Keke recklessly caused trouble and these two ancient artifacts had once destroyed one mountain range after another. It narrowly led to a huge disaster.

Never had they thought, these weapons had also broke away from the dragon island along with them. Keke had never thought of this possibility before. At this moment, it was so excited that it was squeaking randomly.

Xiao Chen was also very shocked. Two divine artifacts were actually hidden in the rainbow-colored sacred tree. That was too unexpected.

After the golden divine halberd and jet-black metal engraving rushed into the sky, the image of the fierce battle in the sky instantly faded away. After that, the rumbling of the thunder also disappeared in split second. The sound of the wind also stopped. The world had sunk into complete darkness.

The golden divine halberd and jet-black metal engraving, these two ancient artifacts seemed to have faded away along with the thunder and the ancients.

“Squeak…”

Keke was calling out anxiously under the heavy rain. The rainbow-colored divine radiance had enveloped it. Not a drizzle of rain could fall on its body.

The sword radiance flickered for the last few times. Xiao Chen put away the sword and laid down. The sword intent in his mind had been thoroughly aroused. As he looked up at the pitch-black sky with heavy downpour, he could be certain now, Celestial City was definitely an ancient city of the distant past. Otherwise how would it have such a mysterious side? At this very moment, the pressure enveloping the heaven and earth bore a remarkable resemblance to the characteristic of the dragon island’s ghost town. The only thing lacking was the vibe of death.

It was exceptionally oppressive. Although there’s no thunderous sound in the sky, the downpour actually began to fall to the ground noiselessly. The splashes appeared on the ground in thin air. It was exceptionally quiet. The world had become deathly still.

However, it was during this extremely abnormal situation that Xiao Chen felt his body was letting out a shattering sound. He actually made a breakthrough to Historia realm under this kind of suffocating situation!

As if some kind of shackles had been broken, he had finally overcame the last bottleneck and completely entered this domain. The unsteady state was now stabilized!

One gem-like radiance after another lingered on his body. The bones in Xiao Chen’s body were letting out snapping sounds as his flesh squirmed frantically. This was a natural response when his body undergo a real transformation.

Historia was the realm where one began to open up the treasures in their bodies. Henceforth, the divine abilities would spring up in large numbers!

Just at this time, Xiao Chen’s first divine ability after breaking through to Historia realm appeared.

Weapon Fusion!

The broken sword in Xiao Chen’s hand seemed as if it was melting. It transformed into resplendent sword-qi and blended into Xiao Chen’s body.

Xiao Chen was gobsmacked. It was not because he didn’t understand the situation. It was because he knew this divine ability was too rare. He absolutely never thought his first divine ability would be the legendary Weapon Fusion. This was the treasure body every practitioner yearned for even in their dreams.

However, thinking carefully after the shock, it was not too unexpected. That was because he was following the path of Vajra, so the divine ability he obtained would naturally be related to it.

Weapon Fusion, according to legends, it could change any divine weapons into a part of his body. Of course, that was only the initial stage. Along with the increase of power, it was completely capable of smelting any divine weapons and made a certain part of his body possess all kinds of properties from the divine weapons!

As a result, the human body itself would be equivalent to the heavenly sword!

When Xiao Chen returned to the hall, a waitress delivered a fine liquor to him. The golden beverage was as thick as a honey. When it slid down the throat, there was a blazing feeling, and then it transformed into a sweet fragrance, flowing along with the breath. That feeling was too wonderful.

Zhuge fatty walked over and clicked his tongue, “Tsk! Mander family sure is wealthy. This ‘Gold Dream Dew’ cost as much as half a year of the common family’s living expenses.”

Fairsky also walked over and said with his lips sticking out, “Hofmann is scowling at you.”

Sure enough, Hofmann was staring at him very fiercely.

Xiao Chen raised his head to down this Gold Dream Dew and then walked over there with large strides.

“Don’t act recklessly!” Fairsky warned him. This place was not an ordinary location.

The moment he got nearer to Hofmann, Katalina and the other girls just happened to turn their heads over there. They were very clever and knew what was going on with a single glance. They giggled as they watched on.

Hofmann was together with a group of scions from the major families. He looked at Xiao Chen provocatively and mumbled under his breath noiselessly.

“Mother f—! This son of a b— is cursing you?” Zhuge Liang was very furious.

Xiao Chen looked at Hofmann’s performance very calmly. The other party was indeed cursing him with filthy speech.

“What is he cursing? Interpret for me, Fairsky.”

“He was calling you a *******, saying that if you have the guts, then go over there. The latter part is very unpleasant to hear.” Fairsky was also extremely displeased with Hofmann.

The nearby were all young people, many of them had noticed the situation at this place.

Xiao Chen turned his head to ask Katalina, “Hofmann is really cursing me?”

“Of course. Do you really need us sisters to interpret for you? I didn’t expect you are so stupid, you don’t even know how to do lip reading!” Katalina said without holding back. Then she giggled and started to interpret. She was more than happy to see Xiao Chen blowing up. She was very willing to pour oil on the fire.

Katalina and few other girls from the major families started to interpret what Hofmann was saying earnestly. Of course, they were adding oil while interpreting.

“He said it, you scoundrel, come over here if you have the guts!”

“Coward, come and hit me if you dare!”

“Watch it boy, I will make you wish you were dead sooner or later!”

“Why is this boy so scared now, why did he not dare to come over? Come over and hit me if you have the guts!”

“Come over and hit me, you joker!!”

……

Hearing these, Xiao Chen smiled and said towards Fairsnow and the others who remained quiet all along, “All of you heard it right? I didn’t misinterpret. With so many people to testify, that guy over there is asking me to go over there to hit him. It was the baby girl of the host, Katalina, who personally interpreted for me. It’s definitely not a mistake! Since he wished for it, as a gentleman, I will fulfill his desire!”

As he was speaking, Xiao Chen walked over there with large strides.

“Ah?!” The people at the side were stunned.

The fatty and Fairsky on the other hand, started to laugh.

Katalina was screeching, “Xiao Chen, you *******! You have the impertinence to make use of me!”

“I say, brothers and sisters, is there anyone who wants to hit him? Then follow my lead, there’s no need to feel apprehensive. This guy was begging to be hit!” Speaking until here, Xiao Chen already got within the group of scions and made Hofmann fall onto the ground with a slap. Then he started to trample him violently.

“Ow-uuu…” Hofmann let out a pained sound similar to the howl of the wolves. He was exceptionally miserable. Never had he thought Xiao Chen would really dare to hit him.

“We really can beat him?” One of the scions not far away asked like this. Hofmann was usually very arrogant, so he naturally had many enemies.

Of course, everyone at this place can testify!”

With a “hustle” and “bustle”, more than ten male and female surrounded Hofmann and trampled him violently.

Hofmann’s miserable shriek practically didn’t sound like it was produced by a human.

Among the participants, the young ladies were much fiercer than the men. Every one of them was wearing an excited expression, as if they were playing a very interesting game. A game where they were trampling on a sandbag and wishing every step could make the sandbag spill some sand. ⌈¹⌋

Katalina was using her lily-white hands to knead her temples. She was having a slight headache as she said, “This guy is too wretched, he’s actually using me!”

“I think this guy is very treacherous!”

“He’s worst than Dugu Jianmo!”

A few good friends of Katalina supported her, but there were also a few traitors among them. Few of them already ran over there excitedly and participated in trampling Hofmann.

“My god! Brother Liu, you also dared to hit me?!”

“This **** from the noble house, where do you think you’re kicking? You want to cut off my line of descent? Ow-uu…”

While Hofmann was howling in grief, he didn’t forget to fight back fiercely with words. Of course, that only served to increase his beatings.

When few of the scions at the side watched on, their faces changed abruptly. They wanted to help, but after looking at Xiao Chen, who was like the death god, each and every one of them shrank back. Now they know, this guy couldn’t be trifled with, couldn’t be provoked! Otherwise, they would die an unsightly death.

Xiao Chen did not hold back at all when he made his move. In only a moment, he had snapped thirteen bones of Hofmann. After that, he calmly moved back and let those ladies and gentlemen who felt animosity toward him to continue beating him.

After he swept his eyes past these scions, they immediately kept quiet out of fear. In their eyes, Xiao Chen was more scary than the unreasonable Dugu Jianmo.

“Lidong Bo, when will you pay up the twenty thousand gold coins you owe me?” Xiao Chen looked at Lidong Bo with a smile that was not a smile.

“Ah, this… I will pay back as soon as possible.” Lidong Bo was ashamed, angry, and terrified all at the same time.

“That won’t do, you must give me an accurate timeline!”

“Within ten days!” Lidong Bo’s face was flushed.

“Good, that’s settled then. I always keep my promise. What I hate the most is people who break their promise. I wish you will not disappoint me.” His words were very cold. This was an undisguised threat.

“Austrian, when will you pay back the thirty thousand gold coins.” Xiao Chen shifted his gaze to Katalina’s cousin.

These scions felt that Xiao Chen was really too arrogant. This was but the Mander family’s ancient castle, and he actually forced the scion of the Mander family to pay back the money at this place, he’s too crazy.

“I will give it to you within ten days!” After saying these, Austrian turned his head angrily and left.

“Ow-uuu… so painful… I’m about to die!” The voice let out by Hofmann already couldn’t be classified as a human’s voice anymore. He wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves.

The disturbance at this place had already attracted a lot of attention. However, the overwhelming majority of the people felt unconcerned and let matters rest. Only until the master of the Mander family learned about this matter did he come to put a stop to it hurriedly.

That was precisely Katalina and Lazio’s father. He was a dignified-looking middle-aged man. He had similar aqua-blue long hair and although he was middle-aged, he still looked very soldierly and confident.

“Stop it! What’s going on here?”

Only now did Hofmann’s nightmare come to an end. He was badly mutilated from head to toe. He didn’t even look like a human anymore, it could even be said to be a tragic sight.

The people of the Reagan family rushed over from the VIP lounge as soon as they received the news. They felt flustered and exasperated when they saw Hofmann. One middle-aged man swept his eyes all around and shouted, “Who did this? You actually dare to create a disturbance in the Mander family’s banquet. Are you not giving any face to the Mander family?”

He immediately pulled the Mander family in. He wanted to make the Mander family settle this and punish the perpetrator.

At this time, many older generation figures who were discussing about the warbeast tournament also walked over from the VIP lounge.

“You can’t blame other people, it was Hofmann himself who wanted people to beat him!” Among the crowd, one of the scions mumbled in a low voice.

“What are you saying? Come out here and speak loudly!” The one standing there was Hofmann’s flesh and blood uncle, how could be not be angry?

“That was indeed the case, Hofmann wanted others to beat him!” A young lady raised her voice.

“That’s right!”

“That’s just how it is!”

“He was begging to be hit!”

……

Every participant shouted all together. These young people all had powerful background. With these many people together, they were not afraid of the Reagan family at all.

If you don’t believe us, you can ask Lady Katalina of the Mander family. As the daughter of the master, I don’t think she would tell a lie.”

Someone pulled Katalina into it as their shield.

“Katalina, come over here. Tell me what is going on.” Her dignified father cast a glance at her.

Katalina moved over there gloomily. She turned her head around to take a quick look. She found that Xiao Chen was actually lifting a wine goblet and watching the show, away from the group of people. He didn’t seem to have the intention to join in. This made her very frustrated, but she also had no other choice at the moment. She must not stir up more trouble than this. It’s best to smooth things over as quickly as possible while Hofmann was still unconscious.

“Hofmann was possessed. He insisted on getting hit!” The sharp and clear words echoed in the hall. It immediately gave rise to a roar of laughter.

“Carry this disappointing thing back!” Hofmann’s uncle shouted angrily at this two underlings, then he rushed into the VIP lounge without turning back.

“Let’s continue the banquet. I hope everyone can forget about the unpleasant moment just now!” Said Katalina’s father.

“That was very pleasing just now!” It must be mentioned, there was a few talent among the participants, such a response immediately gave rise to a cheerful talk. The tensed-up atmosphere from just now immediately dissipated.

The music resounded as the light in the hall dimmed. Then the dancers took the stage gracefully.

Many young men and young ladies already took part in the dance.

Xiao Chen felt out of sorts. He came from the mortal world. The differences between so-called code of ethic between the male and female were very big. Looking at these young people dancing in the hall, he felt a little unbelievable.

“This hateful guy, would you dare to dance with me?” Katalina was as proud as a little phoenix. She walked over with her well developed breasts and looked at Xiao Chen provocatively. Her stature was petite, but her curves, her long eyelashes, and her vivid big eyes made her seem very sweet. Her only downfall would be her arrogance.

“……” Xiao Chen was a little speechless. What not to dare? He immediately pulled her hand and walked into the dancing field. According to the mortal world’s code of ethic, there’s nothing for him to lose.

However, Xiao Chen’s dance really made people less than impressed. He almost threw Katalina away with a single whirl.

“You want to die? You are practically like a beast!” Since they were already in the dancing field, Katalina let out an astute smile and said, “Xiao Chen, if I shout insolence right here and now, how do you think people will look at you?”

“I don’t think you would do such senseless thing.” Under the dim lighting, Xiao Chen wore an indifferent expression.

“What if I do something more extravagant?” Katalina harbored malicious intent as she smiled.

Xiao Chen raised his guard. If he really let this young lady act arbitrarily, he might really be stuck in a dilemma. Pure power immediately rushed into Katalina’s body from his two hands, confining her verbal ability and restricted her four limbs. Her dance steps were completely manipulated by Xiao Chen.

“Oh dear, since you want to ruin my reputation, I will help you accomplish it in advance.” Xiao Chen harbored malicious intents and pinched her ample butt a few times. Katalina almost teared up due to the pain.

She knew her buttocks were definitely bruised. Moreover, she could clearly feel that this scoundrel Xiao Chen was carving a few “words” on her soft flesh. It was actually these few words: “Xiao Chen’s little attendant”.

Katalina was driven mad!

To try to gain an advantage only to end up worse off. She had really suffered a big loss tonight. This loss was hard to put into words, she couldn’t even tell her big brother about it.

The worst thing was that she couldn’t raise her voice at the moment.

This guy was too wretched! He’s actually still pinch— no, groping!

While embracing Katalina in his embrace, Xiao Chen could smell the fragrance of the young lady. Since this girl wanted to scheme against himself, Xiao Chen was not an inflexible blockhead, he should levy the “interest” with no trace of politeness.

Just at this time, Katalina’s father found them at this place. His face turned sinister at once when he just happened to see Xiao Chen and Katalina.

Mother f—! Youngster, where do you think you are putting your hand? On my daughter’s buttocks! And still being so dishonest, you tired of living?

Although Bailey had good temper, he still couldn’t hold back his urge to let out a curse after seeing this scene: This youngster is such a grandmother’s *******. He actually dares to so assail my Mander family’s baby girl so boldly, such a scum! Furthermore, this brat Katalina is really outrageous, how could you let him touch you like this?

Of course, he had wrongly accused Katalina. Due to the obstruction of the other dancers, Bailey couldn’t see Katalina’s current situation clearly.

When Bailey arrived with a sinister face, Xiao Chen calmly let go of Katalina.

The moment Katalina regained her freedom, she wanted to bare her fangs and pounce over there immediately. In the end, when she saw her father with an ugly face, she immediately had the urge to cry.

“Xiao Chen, go to the VIP lounge with me.” Bailey turned around and left after saying these.

Katalina shouted from behind, “Dad, teach him a lesson for me. He was bullying me!”

“Hmph!” Bailey let out a humph with an ugly face. He didn’t even turn around.

“Be a good girl and stop playing around. Think about the time and situation. Wait for me to come back.” Xiao Chen knew Bailey was having a misunderstanding. He immediately wanted to make matters worse as he took on a kind and doting attitude.

“Go die! Go die! Go die!” Looking at Xiao Chen leaving with a smile across his face, Katalina really wished she could bump into his back. She yelled towards his rear figure, “Mister Xiao, just you wait, I’m not finished with you!”

After entering VIP lounge number ten, Bailey didn’t show Xiao Chen any goodwill from start to finish. He said very coldly, “I know you have a Dragon King. I invite you here because I want to ask whether you will participate in the warbeast tournament or not.”

“I haven’t decided yet. I treated Tenax as my partner, I didn’t want to go against its desire. I still have no idea whether it’s willing to participate or not.”

Bailey remained expressionless as he handed over a silver plate, “Since it is a sacred beast, there’s no need to participate in the knockout competition. You can directly enter the grand battle. To participate or not, that is up to you. Take this silver plate with you. If you are unwilling to participate, you can just throw it away.”

Very clearly, the ugly faced Bailey didn’t want to say much to Xiao Chen. After he’s done with his business, he asked him to leave right away.

Xiao Chen laughed mischievously and didn’t say much. He left right away after putting the silver plate into his pocket. Naturally, after he came out of the VIP lounge, he directly left from the back door to avoid the Mander family’s baby girl.

After returning to the residence, Keke had also returned. The little critter had an important mission tonight: To scout the Mander family’s Beast King Castle. After it got back, the little critter gesticulated at Xiao Chen excitedly, letting him know what it heard and seen. Xiao Chen became well aware of the situation after hearing these.

“Tenax, do you want to participate in the warbeast tournament?”

The proud little dragon nodded its head.

Keke also mimicked the gesture by patting its plump little belly, and then proudly puffed up its chest.

“You also want to participate?”

“Squeak!” Keke nodded its head seriously.

The time passed quickly. These days, Tenax was always confronting with the Azure Dragon King. At the same time, it was using the dragon’s divine ability to help the Azure Dragon King regain its mind.

The knockout competition of the warbeast tournament already began. The Celestial City turned very lively. There were interesting beast battle everyday!

In the dazzling hall, the crystal lamps were flickering with dream-like luster. The aristocrats and celebrities were toasting repeatedly with the wine goblets in their hands.

A few acquaintances were looking closely at this direction, observing Xiao Chen, Katalina, and her freak of a big brother. Those acquaintances included Austrian, Hofmann, Lidong Bo, Zhuge Kun, Fairsnow, Yan Qingcheng, and so on.

The blue-haired pretty boy was free and easy. He smiled at the surrounding girls to express his apology as he walked towards Xiao Chen and company.

“What is that freak called?” Xiao Chen asked Fairsky. He wasn’t even aware that Katalina was scowling at him.

“This… cough, cough… He’s called Lazio.” Fairsky coughed. He seemed to be reminding Xiao Chen that Katalina would flip out if he called her big brother as a “freak” in front of her.

“You are the freak! All of you are freaks!” The Mander family’s baby girl stared straight into Xiao Chen’s eyes and glowered at him. She was cursing unceasingly, but of course, her voice was very low. After all, this banquet was held at their house, she didn’t want to cause too much of a disturbance.

Lazio walked over with a faint smile and hinted a toast at Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen also toasted with him. However, he was still chatting with Fairsky in whispers, “He don’t look like a freak.”

Looking at Katalina, then at the freak who was almost before his eyes, Fairsky smiled awkwardly. And Katalina’s forehead was already covered with black lines. She pulled Lazio and acted like a spoiled child, “Big bro… he’s bullying me, and he even called you a freak.”

Lazio had an out of the ordinary appearance. Tall and muscular, but not to the point that his muscles were swelling. He could be rated as a pretty boy. His aquamarine long hair was brilliant, and his eyes were as bright as the stars. He possessed a special trait that even if he was standing in a sea of people, people could notice him at a glance.

It must be mentioned, people with extraordinary gifts was indeed different from your average people. Without a doubt, Lazio was classified as this kind of people. He smiled and lightly pinched Katalina’s lovely nose. Then he said, “Isn’t that what everyone is calling me? I’m sure you are deliberately making trouble again.”

“Big brooo…” Katalina was shaking Lazio’s hand and acted coquettishly, “This guy is very bad. He injured brother Lambda, extorted money from cousin Austrian, and he even bullied me at Paradise Spa. You must teach him a lesson for me.”

The blue-haired Katalina widened her lively eyes as she bit her red lip with her pearly white teeth. In addition to the way she creased her lovely nose, it was very cute. If not because she was a little young, she might be considered the third pearl of the south, up there with Yan Qingcheng and Fairsnow.

Lazio was not a freak. At the very least, he had good manners and gave people a good impression. This was Xiao Chen’s first impression of him.

“So this is brother Xiao. These days, I heard so many things about brother Xiao’s famous name until my ears almost got calluses.”

“It’s an honor to meet brother Lazio at last. Nice to meet you.”

Seeing the two being polite and amiable, Katalina mumbled to herself resentfully, “Big bro, you really won’t help me…?”

Lazio gently stroked his younger sister’s blue hair and said, “Alright, stop making any more mischief. I have something to discuss with brother Xiao, you go and say hello to your good sisters over there.”

“Big brooo…” Katalina muttered under he breath resentfully. Then she twisted her lovable body around angrily and left.

Not far away, Hofmann and Lidong Bo were also very disappointed. They originally thought the freak of the Mander family would make an appointment to fight with Xiao Chen. Never had they thought the two would be so polite to each other and formed a peaceful relation.

After she got beside Fairsnow and the other beauties, Katalina said while panting with rage, “That guy is too hateful. Sister Fairsnow, just now Xiao Chen said you are too tall.”

“Hehe…” Before Fairsnow could say anything, someone at the side already made fun of her, “Katalina, just now you must have lost the argument right? What? You want to come here and pull some allies? Even if that guy don’t have an eye for things, he wouldn’t find Fairsnow’s perfect figure to be no good.”

Few of the girls started to giggle.

“Brother Xiao, why don’t we go and take a walk?” Lazio issued an invitation.

The moonlight was gentle as the clear radiance spilled down.

Behind the ancient castle was a garden, heavily scented by the fragrance of flowers.

“Brother Xiao, did you come from the mortal world?” ⌈¹⌋

“Why are you suddenly asking me?”

Lazio was standing on a stone bridge and looking at the flowing stream. Then he said, “I don’t have evil intention. I wanted to ask about someone from you.”

“Oh? Who is it?” Xiao Chen walked slowly under the moonlit night. He walked past the stone bridge and jumped onto the observatory to look up at the unbounded starry sky. He felt as if he had returned to the mortal world.

“A dream-like fairy.” Lazio stopped here as he revealed a peculiar expression. He seemed to be a little intoxicated as he said slowly, “She’s called Lan Nuo. I want to know about her past.”

Under the bright moonlight, for the handsome Lazio to reveal this kind of expression, if those young married women and young ladies in the hall had seen it, they would definitely be jealous and bewitched.

Xiao Chen was a little surprised. Lazio had actually come across Lan Nuo. He asked calmly, “When and where did you meet her?”

One year ago, I was fortunate to run into her once at Celestial City. However, all traces of her completely disappeared since then. She was like a fairy from the highest of the heavens. I only met her once, then she disappeared without a trace.” Lazio sighed regretfully and said, “I know a girl like her wouldn’t belong to a single man for eternity, even a god was not fit for her!”

Being called by others in the world of martial arts as a freak, he always wore a confident attitude in front of everyone. However, at this moment, Lazio’s bearing was poles apart from usual. He was actually feeling regretful and frustrated. That sad expression was undisguised.

“Lan Nuo, the wise and able person of Yanhuang Dynasty. She was exceptionally charming, a natural born genius, At the age of twenty, she traveled around the world with a sword, none were able to fight her on equal term!” Xiao Chen’s words were very smooth as he looked up at the starry sky calmly. His gaze seemed to pass through the space and could see the mortal world as he continued, “The same year, she practiced the legendary ⌈Divine Dominion⌋ and caused her power to become half crippled. Her body gradually became weaker. Soon, she looked for a method to break the life and death moment with her great wisdom. In the end, she resolved to freeze herself in a bottomless ice valley. A miracle happened thirteen years later, Lan Nuo came out of the ice cave full of vitality. She stayed young forever and successfully tricked death. She was frozen for thirteen years and time passed just like a snap of a finger. Her peerless beauty didn’t undergo any changes due to the vicissitudes of time!”

“According to legend, the mortal world is deficient of spiritual energy. However, she actually gained the power to create a spatial distortion in such a short period of time! She is indeed a genius among the geniuses.” Lazio was deeply moved and said, “Since entering the world of immortals, she could even be said to be free and unbounded! I don’t know what kind of heights can she reach, but I believe in ten years, she wouldn’t need to fear the god of this world anymore! Perhaps, there’s no need to wait for ten years, three… two… maybe even one year is enough!”

That was the actual situation. Since the ancient times, how many in the mortal world had actually broke the bounds of the world and entered the world of immortals? There was only a handful! Every single void traveler was certainly an illustrious individual for all eternity.

Nowadays, the founder of many famous sects in the world of immortals came from the mortal world.

Every time he thought of these, Xiao Chen had a doubt. Since the mortal world was deficient of spiritual power, then why was there so many world-shaking figures from the mortal world? And even after those people arrived at the world of immortals, they were still sweeping the floor with all living things. How should be categorize the mortal world more appropriately? Maybe… in the ancient past, the mortal world was also an illustrious holy land!

“Anything else? I want to know more.” Lazio stood on the stone bridge, looking at the luminous rose in the front. Every kind of flowers blossomed and the fascinating fragrance drifted in the air.

“That’s all. Lan Nuo is a mysterious girl.”

“Facing a girl like Lan Nuo, has brother Xiao never been tempted once?”

“I haven’t reached the same height as her. I don’t have any extravagant hope. My future, I need to develop it step by step.” Xiao Chen was very calm. He was unwilling to speak much more regarding this topic.

Lazio smiled, then his bearing changed in that instant. That frustration completely disappeared as he regained his confident expression. He said, “I actually want to fight with you, but today is not a good day. How about a round of formal match instead?”

“Bring it on!”

Xiao Chen was on top of the observatory. He turned around to face Lazio.

“Spiritual Battle!” Speaking until here, Lazio’s aquamarine long hair suddenly fluttered backward. His expression suddenly became incomparably sharp as he emitted two ice-cold glints similar to the sword-qi.

A pressure originated from the spirit pressed down on Xiao Chen like an immemorial primal beast. It was fierce yet explosive!

Vaguely, it felt as if there were thousands of souls howling in grief, yet it also felt like the roars of the wave. It was extremely powerful.

Xiao Chen instantly understood how Lazio received his freak title. On the outside he looked gentle and cultivated, but when his battle intent burst out, he was actually this coarse and wild. His power was close to the point of freakish!

In regards to Spiritual Power, Lazio had already went beyond the category of Exuvia. His Spiritual Power condensed and materialized into divine swords, it was unstoppable!

Xiao Chen was as calm as a lofty mountain. The Spiritual Power was slamming him like vast ocean, with great and powerful momentum, and yet, he remained unfazed. No matter how many thousands of divine sword or waves you throw at him, it was all like rivers entering the ocean. His power was deep and beyond measure.

The quiet battle of the two caused the plants in between to wither at once. Soon after, the flowers soundlessly turned into dusts. It seemed as if there was never any vegetation at that place to begin with, only the dusts!

“Rumble!”

The white marble bridge burst up and collapsed. Lazio jumped back, his face a little pale. The observatory also burst up and was on the verge of collapsing. Xiao Chen’s face was also covered with sweat. He jumped up and landed on top of a pavilion.

Following that, a blazing divine light burst out between the two. That was the force of spiritual power!

The divine light was dazzling!

It made even the moon and the stars in the sky lose their splendor!

The fluctuation of the spiritual power was as vast as the ocean!

This could even be said to be an extremely dangerous battle. A little mistake and their consciousness would be crushed, flattened, and they would become a living dead.

After no less than fifteen minutes later did everything finally calm down.

The two of them no longer resisted. The pavilion had turned to dusts, the lotus pond had dried up, the flat marble ground even caved in for at least ten meters soundlessly.

Between the two was a huge gorge!

“Historia?” Lazio looked at Xiao Chen with amazement.

Xiao Chen did not reply. Only after pondering for a while did he say, “Your spiritual power already broke into the realm of Historia.”

“My spiritual power is powerful as it should be. That’s because I am a Psychic.”

Far away, the scions of a few big families shook their head. Hofmann said regretfully, “What a pity, why are they not continuing? Mother f—! Is that ******* really that strong? I really want to squeeze him to death! It seems like the freak from the Mander family didn’t gain any upper hand. This is inconceivable.”

Lidong Bo also heaved a sigh and said, “It really make one apprehensive. Why is no one putting him in order? Could the rumor be true? That he has some relationship with that existence in the depths of south.”

“So what if he has friendship with them?” Hofmann’s eyes flickered with ominous glint and said, “There’s still methods to toy with him to death and won’t give rise to that person’s suspicion.”

“Ceh, stop putting on airs.” A sneer transmitted from the side as a young lord said, “I have heard this from the elders in my family. That your old fathers actually wanted to make their move. As a result, they pulled back the way they came from.”

“Cackle, cackle…” The sound of Hofmann grinding his teeth could be heard. Then he shouted fiercely, “Five Historia experts from my family died. We can’t let this score end like this. I will find someone to squeeze him to death sooner or later!”

On the other side, Yan Qingcheng, Fairsky, Zhuge Liang, Fairsnow, Katalina, and the others also watched the spiritual battle just now.

Zhuge Liang ridiculed, “The baby girl from Mander family, it seems like your big bro is out of form today. Shame to the good name of the unparalleled freak.”

“******* fatty, don’t provoke me! You think I don’t dare to beat the crap out of you?” Katalina was glaring at the fatty angrily. However, due to her sweet appearance, even when she was acting savage, she still appeared very cute.

“That’s right. Katalina, is your older brother holding back on purpose? How can he be no match for Xiao Chen?” The young lady at the side could even be said to be blindly worshipping Lazio.

“Love-struck fool!” After the cold voice, a tall and stalwart figure holding metal sword walked over from the hall.

“You shut—” Behind that young lady, Katalina shouted “Hold it!” and covered her mouth.

“Do you want to die? Don’t you know who he is?”

“Who is that *******?” The young lady was very furious.

The other young married women and young ladies were also very angry. ⌈²⌋

“He is Dugu Jianmo! Two years ago, at a banquet, the eldest daughter of the Liu family acted arrogant and bossy, and that woman was directly beheaded by that guy.” Katalina whispered.

“Ah, it’s him!” Obviously, all the women knew about Dugu Jianmo’s behavior. All of them shut their mouth right away.

Ever since she came across Xiao Chen, Yan Qingcheng ran out of luck through and through. First, she was caught as a slave and was put in a difficult situation. Then, she was forced to train the Obliterate Demon Absolute God. On the surface, Xiao Chen was her vessel, but in reality, she was controlled by Xiao Chen. Since then, she was unable to do anything to him.

Although it was unlikely for Yan Qingcheng to harbor killing intent, every time she thought of these, she would still get so angry to the point that the roots of her teeth were itching. In the past, she also had an ambitious ideal, but now, she only had one desire; to master the Obliterate Demon Absolute God as soon as possible and break away from this awkward relations with Xiao Chen.

Looking at her former top ranked enemy getting stronger and stronger, Yan Qingcheng felt all the more powerless. She had already heard about Xiao Chen’s crazy action last night. In order to breakthrough the Ninth Celestial Layer, he went all over the place challenging the youth experts. He engaged in several life and death battle in one night, oppressing one powerful enemy after another in succession.

Although she didn’t get the exact information, Yan Qingcheng had an indistinct feeling that this hateful guy before her would most likely break through the bottleneck successfully. If that was the case, it would be all the more challenging to break away from Xiao Chen. The first requirement to break away from the restriction of the vessel was to surpass the vessel in power.

“Thank you!” Xiao Chen received the invitation card and said to Yan Qingcheng with a smile, “I’ll treat you to something another day.”

“Hmph!” Yan Qingcheng let out a cold humph. She shot a glance at him with her limpid water eyes. Then she swung her beautiful hips as she turned around. Her ice-cold voice contained a hint of taunting, “You are not thinking of inviting me to the Moonflower Castle to have a meal right?”

“Hehe…” Xiao Chen did not mind and said with a very sincere expression, “We are a family anyway, it’s the same wherever we go.”

Yan Qingcheng stamped on the ground with her slender body and turned around immediately, “Who are family with you?!”

Xiao Chen said very calmly, “The elders from your family said it with their own mouth that you are already betrothed to me. Because of this, someone tried to mount a sneak attack on me with the god killing weapon, Pasteur. I narrowly lost my life in the hand of this ancient weapon! This kind of thing already happened, there’s no way your Undying Sect can refuse to admit it anymore. Or did you have a sudden change of mind?”

“You…” Yan Qingcheng said furiously, “I never heard of this before. You better stop acting so shamelessly, otherwise don’t blame the Undying Sect for showing no mercy.”

“Very well, I will go to the Undying Sect with you now and ask your elders face-to-face. If they are not intent on marrying you off, then why are they setting me up like this?” Xiao Chen did not feel embarrassed at all and talked confidently.

If Yan Qingcheng was stronger, she really wanted to teach Xiao Chen a lesson or two. However, right now, she could only let out a humph, unfold the Undying Divine Wings, and run away without turning back.

“Go after her quickly!” Zhuge fatty said as he was wiping his drool.

“There’s no reason to chase after her now. If I have free time several days later, I will directly go to the Undying Sect to receive my wife.” Xiao Chen replied very bluntly, but nevertheless, he had an indifferent expression.

His voice transmitted clearly to Yan Qingcheng, who was flying in the sky. When she heard these words, her beautiful body inclined towards the side and narrowly fell from the sky.

“Xiao Chen, why don’t you drop dead and dream on!”

“Whether it’s a dream or not, you will know once you go back to your sect several days later.”

Looking at the absolutely beautiful figure making her getaway, Zhuge fatty said with envy, “To be able to marry a beauty as equally famous as Fairsnow, it’s worth it even if I end up dead.”

“Bang!”

At the side, Fairsky directly sent the fatty flying again with a kick. “You ******* fatty, you really are the worst. For the past many years, you were actually fantasizing about my sister all along…”

“Filthy! This is called a secret crush, do you understand?” The fatty was explaining as he climbed up from the ground. He had a confident expression and did not feel embarrassed.

During the afternoon, the Honrado Auction House finally dropped their curtains.

The price reached in the auction was eight hundred thousand gold coins.

The instant they received this news, Zhuge fatty immediately jumped up and shouted, “Black-box operation, it’s definitely black-box operation!”

The fatty patted his thigh and said with certainty, “According to the momentum this noon, let’s not say one million gold coins, even reaching 1.5 million wouldn’t be that hard. How come it reached a deal with only eight hundred thousand gold coins? There must be some dark secrets!”

Fairsky was also very furious. He had once went to the scene to find out the situation. He knew this price level was relatively low compared to the actual value of the ancient spear Pasteur.

As a result, when the people they sent to find out the inside story returned, the two of them immediately became speechless. That was because the Zhuge family and the Fair family were suspected to be involved in this dark secrets.

Few big families in Celestial City worked together to manipulate the price under-the-table. Their powerful force made the other competitors choose to give up grudgingly.

Within the Celestial City, the old ******** from a few big families worked together to obtain the ancient spear Pasteur. They were preparing to do a collaborative research on this ominous weapon that was passed down by the ancient clan.

After all, the price of the ancient spear Pasteur was too high. Even the big families would feel dizzy just looking at the amount. That’s why they played this kind of dirty hand.

Zhuge fatty and Fairsky felt a bit awkward. After all, their respective families were involved.

Xiao Chen did not feel particularly furious. A lot of things in this world couldn’t be done in earnest, otherwise they would die an unsightly death.

However, the old ******** from the big families still gave Xiao Chen some face. They sent someone to pass on a message to Xiao Chen: Don’t need to worry about the true owner of the ancient spear Pasteur, we will take care of him.

Xiao Chen had yet to reach that height, so he didn’t know how would the elders cope with it.

Relatively speaking, this outcome was pretty good. He received eight hundred thousand gold coins without any foundation. No matter how they put it, this was still an extravagant amount.

However, Xiao Chen knew these large sum of gold coins would be spent like running water. That was because he wanted to buy spiritual items. And this time, he was no longer buying any ordinary old ginsengs or reishi mushrooms. He entrusted all the money to the fatty, telling him that if he wanted to buy, he should be buying those rarely seen spiritual items!

After hearing how Xiao Chen wanted to spend these money, the fatty still felt heartache even though the money was not his. He kept muttering to himself, “He’s really such a spendthrift! There are so many well off families in the south, but I have never seen anyone spending so crazily on spiritual items before.”

Without a doubt, Xiao Chen was a genuine spendthrift in the fatty’s eyes, and a crazy practitioner beyond redemption in the eyes of Fairsky.

“You sure there are really that kind of legendary items?” After all, the amount was too enormous. Even Xiao Chen was afraid of spending but getting nothing in return.

“As long as you are willing to pay, the goods will definitely be worth your money. In the Celestial City, there are at least fix to six rare spiritual items! What kind of place do you think is the south? A Pure Land where the spiritual items are growing within thousands of miles of territory, so of course they are the genuine articles! I am talking about those few over there, they are the most valuable treasure in this store. Each of them cost two to three hundred thousand gold coins. Even those big families would feel heartache to buy it. That’s why nobody is interested in them all along. Only a real spendthrift like you would spend money on them like it is nothing.”

According to his prediction, eight hundred thousand gold coins could more or less divinize three of his acupoints. However, he had to plan carefully and buy the right stuff.

I will let you handle this matter. I’m not afraid of spending, but you must make sure they are the genuine articles!”

Any ordinary spiritual items only had a little effect on Xiao Chen. What he required was an absolute gem like the dragon ginseng. However, those kind of things could only be found serendipitously.

“Alright, I will help you cut down the price of this Grade Nine Lotus in the next two days.” This was the first time the fatty was in control of this much gold coins. Although it was not his money, he still felt his back getting very stiff.

In the evening, the Celestial City burst into disorder. The ancient spear Pasteur had been stolen!

The representative of the buyer was turned into meat paste on the spot. It seemed like everyone was not able to react in time as a black shadow swept along with the bloody spear towards a distant location.

It was extremely noisy. A lot of experts were dispatched, but they were unable to catch up to that black shadow.

Only until the evening did the rumor spread out. The true owner of the ancient spear Pasteur made his move and got far away from Celestial City after snatching the bloody spear.

This night was just as noisy as the last.

Of course, the leading role tonight was no longer Xiao Chen. It was that super powerful warrior from the small tribe of the west. According to the grapevine, an old ******* from a certain family was heavily injured by the true owner of Pasteur. He was coughing out blood incessantly.

Although a lot of experts were chasing all the way, the outcome was very disappointing. They didn’t manage to get back Pasteur.

This was a sleepless night for many people.

However, Xiao Chen was sleeping very soundly. He already got hold of a huge amount of gold coins. Even the commission had already been paid for by the major families. The loss of the ancient weapon was no longer related to him.

The true owner made his move against the buyer and shifted his enmity to them. In regards to him, there were no better news than this.

The next day, this event was known by everyone in the Celestial City. The few major families lost their faces, but there’s nothing they could do about it. ⌈¹⌋

Leaving the south and go after him in the west? That’s impossible! Legend said that although the tribe was small, they were still the descendant of the ancient race. Even though their blood was already not as pure, they were still not a bunch that could be easily provoked.

“Interesting, so interesting!”

“Haha, this is a gargantuan mockery.”

……

Many people rejoiced in other people’s misfortune. There were also many people feeling very regretful. They were not able to keep the god killing weapon in the south, that’s such a pity.

The evening of the next day, that important banquet mentioned by the fatty was about to begin.

The venue; Mander family’s mansion.

The warbeast tournament was about to begin. Mander family, Zhuge family, and Fair family were the owners of three major warbeast castles in the Celestial City. The Mander family was in control of the Beast King Castle, the Zhuge Family was in control of the Amber Warbeast Castle, and the Fair family was in control of the Antarctic Warbeast Castle, they were in charge of the warbeast tournament this time. Before the tournament, they hereby conducted a banquet and invited many celebrities, as well as major competitors.

The starlight flickered in the night sky. Mander family’s ancient castle was imposing. It gave off a heavy pressure like a lofty mountain under the dim light of the night.

“Please present your invitation card.” The head of the imperial guard strictly inspected every guest’s invitation card at the entrance.

When Xiao Chen arrived with the fatty and Fairsky, they just happened to come across Hofmann and Lidong Bo at the entrance. When Hofmann saw Xiao Chen, his eyes turned red as he turned around to glare at him ferociously.

Endless stream of people were entering and exiting the ancient castle of the Mander family. Naturally, each and every one of them were aristocrats with some influence and powerful practitioners. Of course, there were no lack of upper-class women and young ladies.

The wide hall was a dazzling sight, it was not crowded even with several hundred people attending the banquet. The light spilled by the crystal chandelier made the hall incomparably gorgeous in contrast. Numerous aristocrats and practitioners were divided into groups of three or four. They bumped their cups repeatedly and had a lively chat.

In the front, there was a tall and extremely handsome youth with aqua blue long hair. Even if he was in a crowd, he still stood out from the masses. He possessed an indescribable temperament.

Obviously, he was very popular. There’s a lot of people surrounding him. More than half of them were female, he was surrounded by well developed young married women and good-looking young ladies. However, although these beauties were graceful, the passion in their eyes were not in agreement with their status.

“Did you see it? This is the freak from Mander family, Katalina’s flesh and blood brother.” Fairsky introduced to Xiao Chen.

This was not the first time Xiao Chen had heard people addressing Katalina’s eldest brother like this. This was obviously a handsome youth, but he was actually called a freak in the world of martial arts. It was easy to imagine how powerful and dreadful he was.

He had encountered him at the city gate of Celestial City once. That time, numerous Ninth Celestial Layer experts had clashed with Xiao Chen once, but this blue-haired youth didn’t attack him at that time. It made Xiao Chen unable to grasp his true strength.

“This guy… you actually dare to come to my house?!” A lovely young lady with blue hair flung her beautiful long hair with one hand and got in front of Xiao Chen while panting with rage.

“Why can’t I come? I received an invitation.” When Xiao Chen saw Katalina, he couldn’t help but recall that ‘event’ at the Paradise Spa, and a smile bloomed on his face.

Katalina’s lively big eyes immediately welled up with fury. She could guess what Xiao Chen was thinking from his expression.

“This repulsive guy is really too despicable!” Speaking until here, she turned around and shouted towards that blue-haired youth, “Big bro, come over here, this guy is bullying me.”

When the blue haired-youth heard these, he smiled towards the few girls beside him and walked towards Xiao Chen and company’s direction.

Not far away, Hofmann and Lidong Bo revealed a smile.

On the other side, Fairsnow and the other beauties also turned their head over to watch closely.

Pasteur’s ominous name had spread far and wide, it was a genuine good at fair price. In regards to the practitioners, it was a priceless treasure. If they could obtain it and exhibit one tenth of its might, their power would rise by one fold!

The ancient clans of the legends were an extremely mysterious and powerful race. Their populations were as sparse as the phoenix feather and unicorn horn. However, they were powerful enough to contend against the deities. Along with the vicissitudes of time, the aforementioned race vanished without a trace. It was very hard to find a pure-blooded ancient race anymore. However, their glory had never been forgotten by the people.

The ancient race possessed earth shaking ancient battle skills. The ancient weapons once used by them were very attractive to the practitioners. Reportedly, there were not more than five ancient divine weapons being handed down to the outside world. Pasteur being one of them.

If it was really put on auction, then it would undoubtedly cause a huge commotion! Let’s not even mention the others, many older generation figures would certainly join the fray as well. Legend has it that the ancient spear’s killing intent contained the inextinguishable spirit of the ancient race. If they could analyze one or two, then they would gain endless benefits. In addition, when the ancient spear reached its full potential, it was known to have the might to kill even the gods. It was unlikely for anyone to not be tempted by it.

“Do you guys really think that I can keep the ancient spear?” Xiao Chen was very calm. He knew that by keeping this hot potato, he wouldn’t gain the slightest benefit from it. On the contrary, he might invite more disaster.

Many people had guessed that he was from the depths of the south and had some connection to those few legendary existences. However, not everyone believed in this. In addition, the phoenix’s divine feather could force some super powerful warriors to fall back, but it couldn’t completely guarantee that everyone would withdraw because of it.

Especially Exuvia and Historia level practitioners. They hadn’t reached that kind of heights yet and didn’t know about those legendary existences, so they weren’t as apprehensive as the older generation figures.

Holding on to Pasteur would only bring more trouble than necessary. At the same time, would the real owner give up on the bloody spear because of this? Absolutely not! As long as he got the news, he would definitely make an appearance immediately. Perhaps, he might even be on the way already.

“Such a pity. It’s a god killing ancient weapon for god’s sake! A murder weapon handed down from the ancient race! The treasure everyone in the mainland yearns for, even in their dreams! To be unable to take hold of it, it’s really too regretful!” Obviously, after a burst of emotion, the fatty also called to mind the seriousness of the matter. However, the bloody spear was really too attractive. Even if he was not the one possessing it, he also felt very regretful. Especially when he thought about the divine blood flowing unceasingly on the ancient spear. If they could take control of it, the sense of accomplishment would be indescribable.

Xiao Chen grabbed the ancient spear Pasteur and said, “It seems like the so-called spirit of the ancient race was already wiped out by the others. I can only feel a weak trace and already memorized it. Now, this is just nothing more than an unstoppable ancient weapon for me. There’s nothing particularly special about it.”

“It possesses formidable power capable of killing gods! If we really put it on auction, it will definitely give rise to a huge commotion!” The beautiful Fairsky was also very excited. His glossy cheeks were flushed like that of a stunning beauty. His handsome face really made people feel that the heaven was unfair.

Fairsky and Zhuge fatty were definitely not slow on the uptake, they profoundly understood the seriousness of the matter. Just as Xiao Chen had said, perhaps the real owner of the ancient spear might already be on his way. As such, both of them used their connections and immediately set up the arrangements according to Xiao Chen’s wishes. The faster, the better. As for whether their families would also fight for it, that was not something they put into consideration.

Obviously, Xiao Chen’s plan was not as simple as fishing out all the major powers. This hot potato would certainly give rise to a huge wave. Many major powers might even fight on the spot. Maybe some people would even fight in secret.

Xiao Chen’s goal was precisely to stir up a disturbance! The more chaotic, the better!

On this very day, a huge commotion broke out in Celestial City. Someone actually wanted to sell the ancient race’s treasure! Pasteur’s ominous name had been spread for endless years, it was a famous treasure in the world of martial arts. Those news indeed caused countless people to lust after it.

As the warbeast tournament was fast approaching, the composition of the practitioners in the Celestial City at the moment was very complicated. There were a lot of outsiders. And adding the major powers that were complicatedly rooted at this locality, this news really caused an unusually lively sensation.

“Honrado Auction House” had more than a century of history. They already expanded beyond the south desolate region and had many branches on the mainland. Honrado Auction House was very imposing, with two guardian lion statues weighing more than a thousand tons located at both sides of the vermillion entrance. The lofty gate was similar to that of the castle’s and people were continuously going through the entrance.

Within the wide auction hall, there were more than a thousand seats. Although the news were spread out in a rush, it was already full house by the time of noon. The hall was a boiling cauldron of voices. Many big families had dispatched a representative. Of course, the majority of them were hermits. Almost everyone in the hall were practitioners.

“Are they really auctioning the ancient spear Pasteur?”

“I heard that this ominous weapon was in the hands of a small tribe at the western part. Legend says that they are the descendants of the ancient race. How is it possible for it to circulate around?”

“Someone must have taken it forcibly. Just which madman did it?”

“Just who would be this courageous? They actually dared to scramble for the ancient spear Pasteur. And moreover, put it on auction publicly. This is too crazy!”

“The ancient treasure will definitely make people fight over it. There will definitely be a bloodbath!”

……

As such, a lot of people were discussing about it.

Without a doubt, the mysterious seller was everyone’s focal point. The news regarding Xiao Chen consecutively challenging Ninth Celestial Layer experts last night was already spread among a small circle. His crazy action made many people endlessly shocked.

However, those who knew he had snatched the ancient spear Pasteur was only a handful. It didn’t get spread around.

Honrado Auction House’s operating capability was very efficient. In the shortest possible time, they had spread out the news across the entire Celestial City. Even more people were making their way towards the auction house. There was already no place to sit in the hall. The latecomers could only stand. In the end, even the place to stand had been filled to the brim.

Honrado Auction House did not hesitate to give their all to publicize the item. That was because this commission would bring them a large sum of money. Of course, the most important thing was still reputation! Auctioning the ancient spear Pasteur would bring about an unimaginable popularity for them! As such, they even invited a few beauties to emcee. At present, Fairsnow was taking the stage and was explaining the origin and might of the ancient spear Pasteur.

Fairsnow’s figure was slender and curvy. She was wearing a white one-piece dress which enhanced her beauty. Her refined manners caused all kinds of flowers to lose their splendor.

“I believe everyone has heard of the god killing ancient spear Pasteur…”

Actually, there was no need for explanation, everyone who arrived already knew about it. The beauties were only used to attract more eyeballs. It must be mentioned that the Honrado Auction House possessed great power, they were actually able to invite the most beautiful girl from the Fair family.

Afternoon, the auction started on time.

“Initial price is a hundred thousand gold coins. The minimum increment bid is one thousand gold coins…” Fairsnow’s voice was very sweet. With an agile movement of her hand, she pulled the yellow curtain behind her with a swish. Immediately, the ancient spear flickering with blood red radiance revealed itself.

A biting cold killing intent filled the entire hall in a flash. A mysterious expert shrouded by white mist carried Pasteur and walked to the center of the stage to put on a show for everyone.

With a light wave, a bloody divine qi soared up and penetrated the roof in a flash.

“Swish!”

With a light sweep, a wide expanse of bloody wave surged forward in all directions. The entire stage was immediately submerged by the bloody light.

“Swish!”

The instant the ancient spear was pulled back, all of the bloody light disappeared.

“I did not load it with any magic power at all, I only waved it a few times lightly. Its killing intent and might, everyone can very well imagine. This is Pasteur, the ancient spear that once killed the gods!” A muffled voice transmitted from the white mist. It made people unable to determine their age nor their gender.

Without a doubt, this was an expert. A powerful expert invited to secure the ancient spear Pasteur.

“Now, I will load it with magic power and let everyone see its true power.” Speaking until here, he grabbed Pasteur with both hands and soared into the sky. After that, his entire person burst out with resplendent divine radiance.

At the same time, Pasteur emitted a bloody light that caused the roof to vanish in a puff of smoke. A two meters thick bloody light beam soared into the sky. It was as if the light beam had pierced through the skies!

At this moment, many people in the Celestial City had seen this huge bloody light beam. Its power was really too intimidating. It caused many people to tremble with fear and almost crouch down on the ground.

Especially those in the auction hall. They felt all the more apprehensive. That sharp murderous aura, as well as that inextinguishable battle intent, it caused many people to limp weakly on the ground.

The soaring bloody light, an ominous weapon that once killed the gods, the ancient weapon possessed unimaginable power!

The hall turned extremely quiet. Only until the bloody light disappeared for a long time did people gradually come around. The divine blood was dripping from the ancient spear unceasingly. It made a lot of people hold their breath. It was too oppressive and shocking.

“I bid one hundred and ten thousand gold coins!”

“You want to buy Pasteur with only one hundred and ten thousand? I bid one hundred and fifty thousand gold coins!”

“One hundred and sixty thousand!”

“One hundred and eighty thousand!”

“I bid two hundred thousand!”

……

The situation was really too dynamic. Nobody increased the price by one thousand gold coins, they directly used ten thousand pieces as the unit.

The price increased unceasingly. The ancient spear seriously attracted too many people.

Many people only came to this place to watch the show, because it was simply impossible for them to place a bid on something that pricey. The front competed like wildfire, while many people discussed in a low voice at the back.

“Just who is this mother f—— spendthrift? They actually put Pasteur up for auction?!”

“What if it was obtained from a scramble? Of course there’s a need to sell it as soon as possible!”

“Who would be that courageous to fight over it? Do we have that kind of miracle man in the south who dared to go plunder Pasteur from the descendents of the ancient tribe?”

“What if someone from that tribe came to Celestial City with Pasteur…”

“Bringing Pasteur to Celestial City? That is a killing artifact for god’s sake! Don’t tell me someone wanted to make a big movement in the south? They wouldn’t be thinking of fighting over the Dragon Kings during the warbeast tournament right?!”

“Who can know for sure…”

“Just who would be this exaggerated? They actually dared to snatch the Pasteur from the ancient clan and put it on auction.”

……

Everyone wanted to know who was the seller, because this action was really too crazy.

“I bid four hundred thousand gold coins!”

“Four hundred and fifty thousand!”

“Four hundred and seventy thousand!”

While it was getting crazy in the auction house, Xiao Chen was calmly inspecting the Azure Dragon King’s injuries.

Other than the external injuries that it received from Tenax, its internal wounds were also very grave. This was the reason it was defeated so quickly last night. The condition of its injuries were very serious. Moreover, its spiritual sense was very messy, as if its awareness was being manipulated by someone. It had suffered an enormous psychological damage.

Xiao Chen frowned. Just who was that guy last night? It seemed like his goal was only to deliver the Azure Dragon King. He left and never returned after sending the Dragon King off. Just what did he wish to accomplish? No matter what, the most important thing at the moment was to give medical treatment to the Azure Dragon King.

Half an hour later, Xiao Chen sealed off the Azure Dragon King’s five senses and let it sink into deep sleep. Then he walked out from that room.

In regards to auctioning Pasteur, Xiao Chen did not do it on impulse. Would they feel grateful if he returned it to them? Definitely not! He already killed their people, there was nothing more to discuss!

So what if he was the one selling it? Who asked them to not be stern with their disciples and let them “randomly wave” a lethal weapon everywhere. Xiao Chen had seized the ancient spear after receiving a sneak attack, nobody could say anything regarding this.

Of course, the real owner definitely had no time to care about these. Thinking of a method to get back the ancient spear was his first priority.

It could be expected that the family who ultimately obtained the ancient spear would be a powerful figure. Otherwise it was impossible for them to take possession of it as this would only serve to make an enemy out of the real owner.

Money, Xiao Chen must earn it. Situation, he must throw it into disorder. Revenge, of course he must give it back. One stone three birds, of course he must sell it.

“It’s too crazy! It has already exceeded six hundred thousand gold coins!” Zhuge fatty was very excited. The fat meat all over his body was trembling as he rushed in.

Soon after, Fairsky also returned and said excitedly, “If this keeps up, even millions wouldn’t be impossible! This is too crazy!”

“At the moment, the overwhelming majority of the people don’t even know who the seller is yet. However, you have already become a millionaire in Celestial City!” The fatty was drooling as he said this to Xiao Chen with a smile, “You must invite me to Moonflower Castle three times every month. Otherwise I will publicly declare you as the seller!”

“Filthy!” Fairsky clicked his tongue disdainfully.

“And you are not filthy? You frequently come to the educational street to peek at the female students!” Zhuge fatty retaliated.

“I am merely admiring them, I didn’t have any dirty thoughts. But yours is an undisguised filthiness!”

“The fatty is indeed filthy.” Xiao Chen nodded his head. Then he asked Fairsky, “How old is your older sister?”

“What did you say? Don’t even think about it!” It was as if he had stepped on Fairsky’s tail. His eyes immediately sharpened.

“I am only admiring her. I didn’t have any dirty thoughts. What you are thinking is filthy!” Xiao Chen replied casually.

Hearing his own words being used against him, Fairsky’s beautiful face was brimming with rage. He warned, “Xiao Chen, I am warning you. Don’t you dare touch my sister!”

Zhuge fatty sneered at him, “You address her as older sister, and you sound so serious about it too. You were only born fifteen minutes later than Fairsnow. And who was it that said he couldn’t wait for his ‘younger sister’ to get married as soon as possible because he couldn’t win in a verbal argument a few years back.”

“******* fatty, scram!”

The fatty’s mouth was very undisciplined, he chuckled as he told Xiao Chen, “Fairsnow is a peerless beauty in the south. Along with Yan Qingcheng who just arrived at Celestial City, they are known as the two pearls of the south. Bro, I think if you put some effort into it, you have a very high chance of becoming Fairsky’s brother-in-law.”

“Fatty, I will kill you!” Fairsky was in a rage. At the same time, he turned his head to look at Xiao Chen and said, “If you dare to touch my sister, I will kill you at all cost!”

“This guy likes a challenge. The more challenging it is, the more he likes it.”

Just at this time, a sweet scent was carried over by the wind. The peerless Yan Qingcheng pushed the door open and entered with graceful steps.

Her purple dress made her seem like a person in a painting. Her perfect figure was like the proudest masterpiece of the heaven. Her black hair flowed down like a waterfall and her pupils were very deep. Her snow-white skin was as smooth as fine jade. Seeing her after a long while, Yan Qingcheng appeared more beautiful than ever. Her entire person seemed like a goblet of intelligence. She possessed an indescribable spiritual energy.

“I received orders from the sect to deliver an invitation card to you.”

It was very breathtaking. The fatty was unconsciously wiping the corners of his mouth, fearing that his drools would leak out unknowingly. In the end, he covered it up with a cough, “I already got an invitation card for Xiao Chen. We will definitely participate in that banquet tomorrow evening.” Speaking until here, he whispered to Xiao Chen, “The beauties of the south will gather at the banquet. At that time, Fairsnow will…”

“Fatty, you go to hell!” Fairsky sent the fatty flying with a kick.

The last few who intruded did not say a single word and directly pounced towards Xiao Chen. They were merciless and aimed for a fatal blow all at once. The sword-qi were exceptionally dazzling in the night sky.

Xiao Chen couldn’t remain sitting anymore. He stood up and grabbed the ancient spear Pasteur as he took a step forward. He waved the ancient spear with momentum of total annihilation. The thunderous storm roared as bloody light filled the entire sky.

“Pfff! Pfff!”

The blood splashed everywhere as four corpses fell on the courtyard. They were each around thirty odd years. Their throat seemed to have been cut by a knife blade as the bloody spear swept past. These four practitioners were more or less around the level of the Sixth Celestial Layer. As far as Xiao Chen was concerned, they were nothing. They were obviously dispatched by their sect to interfere with Xiao Chen’s breakthrough.

“Roar…!”

The Azure Dragon King let out a roar and pounced over. The target ———— Tenax! Azure divine radiance flashed like a raging inferno. Its pair of eyes were ice-cold, as if it had already forgotten it was once acquainted with Xiao Chen.

Tenax proudly swung its head as it let out a dragon roar and pounced over.

“Swish!”

The person in the shadow flew upwards swiftly and disappeared in a short while. It seemed like he was only delivering the Azure Dragon King to this place.

The Azure Dragon King let out a muffled roar. Its pair of dragon eyes were actually filled with bloodlust. The two Dragon Kings clashed fiercely. One after another, green divine radiance burst out unceasingly. The Azure Dragon King had obviously unlocked quite a few divine abilities peculiar to the dragons. This one odd year, its power had advanced by leaps and bounds. It was no longer the same little cub from the Dragon Island anymore. Moreover, its tail had already evolved into the Ancestral Dragon tail.

And on the other hand, Tenax did not burst out with any divine radiance. It was completely relying on the unique dragon martial skill to fight at close quarters. It was like a seasoned practitioners, every step it took was extremely profound. One couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. Those were the most effective footworks. And its attack was also incomparably sharp. The claws, the tail, the head, and even its horns were moving in sync. Each part of its body was a sharp weapon in its own right. As it clashed with the Azure Dragon, even if it was facing one dragon magic after another, it did not fall behind a tiny bit. On the contrary, it was steadily pressuring the Azure Dragon King!

The dragon martial skill was an extraordinary skill!

Keke moved back to Xiao Chen’s side, sweeping all directions cautiously with its big black eyes.

There were only two more enemies left at the site. One of them was that rough-looking middle-aged man. In fact, his power was definitely at the Historia realm. Otherwise it was impossible for him to show up. Just the energy fluctuation emitted by him was already enough to destroy a pavilion.

The other one should be a young girl. Although her body was covered by a black fog, Xiao Chen was still able to make out her silhouette. At present, his spiritual sense was especially keen, he had already realized this was a very beautiful girl. It’s just that… the other party was intentionally concealing herself, so it was not possible to see her hazy visage clearly.

The golden-furred ape beside the mysterious girl looked very powerful. It’s just that… its expression was too vicious. It stared at Keke coldly, as if it wanted to devour the little critter.

“Squeak!”

The snow-white little critter panted with rage. It was a very discontent tone. It waved its little beast paws without restraint. The rainbow-colored light screen quickly launched towards the one meter tall golden ape.

In that instant, the golden light flashed. The ape’s body seemed to have transformed into metal. Moreover, inexhaustible amount of divine flame was rising from its body. It let out a growl and also waved one of its beastly claw.

The golden ray of light transformed into a light blade and ruthlessly cut towards the rainbow-colored radiance.

“Pfff!”

A dull noise transmitted from the sky. The rainbow-colored light screen was temporarily held back by the golden light blade.

This made Keke really angry. Its glittering big eyes burst forth with two divine glints. It was no longer looking lively and mischievous. In a flash, it became serious and earnest as it pushed its little beast claws forward with all its might. The rainbow-colored radiance instantly increased in size dramatically and kept the golden light under control in a short while. After that, it was launched towards the golden ape.

Xiao Chen was very shocked. Although Keke had gained the upper hand, it was already enough to tell how powerful and terrifying the golden ape was. It was actually able to hold Keke back, even for a short while. This had never happened before. One must know that nobody below the demigod level had ever blocked the rainbow-colored radiance. It was always one swipe, hundred down. As long as the rainbow-colored divine radiance was launched, nobody could stop it.

What kind of sacred beast was this? It was actually so mighty. Its divine ability was really exceptionally powerful.

“Howl…!”

The golden ape faced upwards and let out a long howl. The golden light all over its body became brighter. It forcibly stopped that rainbow-colored light screen that was about to cover it up, making the rainbow-colored light screen unable to touch it for the time being.

With a soft sigh, that mysterious girl started to talk, “Is it possible to make the snow-white little critter stop? I actually don’t have any evil intention. I just wanted to test Goldie’s strength.”

The voice was very sweet and very pleasant to listen to. Under normal circumstances, this should be a peerless beauty.

However, tonight was too delicate. Who could say for sure she was really not an enemy? Even if she’s a peerless beauty, she’s nothing more than a skeleton in front of Xiao Chen at present. He remained unfazed. Everyone who arrived at this place had temporarily been labelled by him as enemy.

Xiao Chen ignored the words of the mysterious girl.

“Swish!”

The rainbow-colored radiance fell down and instantly enveloped the golden ape. It was being trapped within the rainbow-colored radiance, unable to move an inch. Following closely, Keke waved its hairy little beast paws and lifted the golden ape into the air from a distance. The rainbow colored-radiance firmly imprisoned the golden ape. Then it was ruthlessly smashed onto the ground by Keke.

“Bang!”

The smoke and dust filled the air as the golden ape jumped up. It faced upward and let out a furious roar. The golden fur all over its body erected. It looked very violent. One after another, golden rays — that looked like sword-qi — rushed out from its body.

“Goldie, don’t move!” The mysterious girl stopped the furious golden ape. She extended one of her lily-white hands to quell its anger. Only then did the golden ape slowly calm down.

However, Keke hardly appreciated the kindness. It was waving its little beast paws angrily, about to make its move again.

Xiao Chen hastily put a stop to it. As long as the mysterious girl no longer made her move, he was also unwilling to continue this massacre.

Now, the middle-aged man standing at the side let out a sneer, “I originally thought you only have a rare Dragon King at your side. Never have I thought that pampered little critter is also this powerful. I really underestimated you.”

“Squeak…” Keke felt that it had been disrespected. It was shouting furiously, as if it was saying, “What about you?!” Then it waved its little beast paw with a whoosh and firmly trapped the middle-aged man within the rainbow-colored radiance.

The middle-aged man had an inconceivable expression. He finally experienced the snow-white little critter’s power first-hand. However, he did not believe it was able to seal a Historia level expert like him.

But now, it was too late for regret!

“How is this possible? It’s still so young!” This was the lamentation in the heart of the Historia level expert.

“Rumble!”

Keke smashed the Historia level expert onto the ground all of a sudden. After that, it imprisoned him again with the rainbow-colored divine radiance, lifting him into midair and smashing downwards repeatedly. Even an ironman would break into pieces like this.

After a few dozen times, the middle-aged man was already bleeding from his nose and mouth.

Xiao Chen made Keke stop and asked the middle-aged man, “Which clan are you from? I’ll only ask this once, silence means death!” It was very straightforward, he didn’t drag the issue.

“Hmph!” The middle-aged man gave a cold snort in return.

Xiao Chen did not say any more nonsense, he directly walked in front of the rainbow-colored light screen and brandished the ancient spear that once killed the gods in his hand. With a “Pfff,” the ancient spear pierced the middle-aged man’s chest. Blood gushed out non-stop.

He didn’t pierce the heart, but it was also a deadly blow.

“Don’t kill me! I am from the Reagan family, I am Hofmann’s uncle! Among the few corpses in the courtyard, two of them are also from my family.” In the face of death, the middle-aged man no longer have an air of arrogance. Not only did he straightforwardly declared his identity, he also provided unnecessary information.

“Pfff!”

Xiao Chen shook the spear in his hand and directly pierced the middle-aged man’s heart. The middle-aged man let out a miserable shriek. The glint in his eyes gradually became dimmer as he muttered under his breath, “You are so ruthless… I already told you everything, yet you still killed me…”

“I told you, I will only ask once and didn’t want to talk nonsense. I gave you a chance, but you didn’t grasp it. I killed you as promised.” Xiao Chen directly split him in half with the divine spear. After that, he muttered, “This enmity with your family is set in the stone!”

On the other side, Tenax and the Azure Dragon King had already decided victory or defeat. Tenax defeated the Azure Dragon King with the dragon martial skill. It tore apart a large area of flesh and finally used its pair of horns to launch a divine radiance that knocked down the Azure Dragon King.

During the entire fight, Tenax only used the dragon magic once, it was indeed incomparably proud.

“Keke, seal it and don’t get it get away!” Xiao Chen shouted.

Keke launched a divine radiance and enveloped the Azure Dragon King in a flash, sealing it for good.

Xiao Chen knew something must have happened to Lawrence. And relying on his instinct, he felt that a problem had also arises with the Azure Dragon King. They must not let it go and search for clues in the future.

The courtyard finally became quiet.

The mysterious girl said with a very pleasant voice, “Your Dragon King seems to be different from the other Dragon Kings.” However, she was more concerned about Keke. She softly sighed and said, “This cute snow-white little critter is also out of the ordinary. It actually defeated Goldie.”

Xiao Chen didn’t say anything, but Keke was very discontent. It clicked its tongue as it cast a glance at the golden ape with its big black eyes.

This manner immediately made the golden ape furious. If it was not stopped by the mysterious girl, it absolutely wanted to settle this with the snow-white little critter once and for all.

“If you know about Goldie’s origin, then you might not despise it as much anymore.” The mysterious girl seemed to be very fond of Keke. She spoke softly, “Goldie is the descendant of a deity.” ⌈¹⌋

Hearing this, Keke was not bothered by it, but Xiao Chen was very shocked as he asked, “There’s a divine isle hovering in the depths of the south. The descendant of the deity you are talking about, are you referring to one of those young sacred beasts found at the vicinity of the deity’s historical remains?”

“That’s right, Goldie is one of them.”

Xiao Chen couldn’t help but look at the girl in a new light. She actually subdued the descendant of a deity. One must know that a lot of older generation figures were fighting over them at that time.

As if she could read Xiao Chen’s mind, the girl explained, “It was subdued by my elders. The other one is not the same race as Goldie. It was took away by other people.”

“You come here tonight only for testing Goldie’s strength?” Xiao Chen asked.

The girl was very magnanimous and her voice was very sweet, “My information network spread far and wide. I have received the true information of what happened on the dragon island. I know there’s a snow-white little critter that possesses great magical power. As such, I wanted to bring Goldie here and let it have a contest with the snow-white little critter.”

These words made Keke feel very snug. It showed a rare bashful expression and blinked its glittering big eyes unceasingly.

“With the snow-white little critter’s current strength, it is enough to rank among the top ten of the young sacred beasts on immortal’s mainland!”

The mysterious girl had a very high evaluation of the snow-white little critter, but on the other hand, Keke was dissatisfied. Only top ten? It would be more appropriate to say it was number one. Keke puffed its chest out proudly.

As a result, it was kneaded in the head by Xiao Chen, who was full of smiles. Keke immediately let out a resentful squeak.

Xiao Chen was very happy. Even the descendant of deity was defeated by Keke. This little critter had unlimited potential! Maybe it might be an exotic beast on the same level as the Ancestral Dragon!

“Xiao Chen, are you willing to go to the north with me? I can give you riches and honor.” The mysterious girl started to talk. She seemed to be very serious. ⌈²⌋

“Riches and honor are earned through hard work, not given by others.” Xiao Chen shook his head and said, “I am used to this easy-going lifestyle, I don’t want to be constrained by others.” He could already tell that the mysterious girl had an out of the ordinary status. He didn’t want to be linked together with any large conglomerate or nation.

However, that was only his thinking for the time being. Who could say for sure what would happen in the future?

The mysterious girl nodded. She took Goldie along and left without speaking.

Only a few corpses were left in the courtyard as it regained its former tranquility.

Xiao Chen held on to the ancient spear Pasteur as he stood there. The divine blood flowed down from his hands unceasingly. The sacred writings on the ancient spear emitted bewitching radiance that reflected upon the starlight.

The shifty eyes of the white-shelled tortoise on the pavilion were perfectly round. It was looking at those sacred writings without batting an eye. After that, it racked its brain as it revealed a pensive look.

Under the moonlight. Xiao Chen’s entire body was flickering like a gem. His bones produced “cackling sound” as the broken bones were reconnected. His flesh squirmed as his corporeal body was undergoing a transformation!

The true evolution towards Historia domain had begun!

Endless brilliance had enveloped him. At this moment, the holy aura filled the entire courtyard. Even the starlight in the sky seemed to have become dimmer.

“Cough…” The cough of an aged man resounded as a shadow appeared under the grape vine frame. The new arrival muttered under his breath, “I have returned. The protection of the phoenix clan? Hah! I don’t really believe they possesses that great of a magic power and is really capable of finding out everything that happened tonight.”

The terrifying vibe shrouded the entire courtyard in a flash. The splendor on Xiao Chen’s body was suppressed and became dimmer.

“Swish! Swish! Swish!”

Three human figures jumped into the courtyard ⌈³⌋. It was actually Qinguang Wang and the other two skeletons! Following closely, a grey-haired old man with childish face walked into the courtyard. He was precisely that old Psychic who took away the three skeletons. He was all smiles as he said to the shadow under the grape vine frame, “You really don’t believe the phoenix clan is capable of it? All your moves and everything that happened tonight will be recorded clearly. The phoenix girl will come and find you to settle this score sooner or later.”

“I am very unwilling to let it go like this!”

“Your child is really too bossy and lack discipline. Otherwise, why did five Historia level experts have to die like this? Unable to distinguish right from wrong, unable to recognize others’ good intentions.” The old man was all smiles and looked very benevolent. Then he continued, “Of course, this young fellow is also very excessive. He is very heartless and should be punished.”

The shadow under the grape vine turned his head around and asked Xiao Chen coldly, “Are you really from the depths of the south?”

Xiao Chen’s expression was indifferent, neither servile nor overbearing as he said, “That existence in the depths of the south had once given me a pointer or two. Other than that, we don’t have much of a relation.”

Hearing these, that shadow under the grape vine frame turned around and left at once. He rose into the sky like a wisp of smoke and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

“Hehe…” The benevolent old Psychic walked over with a chuckle. He patted Xiao Chen’s shoulders twice, then he turned around and left with the three skeletons.

Qinguang Wang, Yanluo Wang, and Lunhui Wang gesticulated towards Xiao Chen unceasingly. Meaning: We will come find you again after learning some powerful divine abilities. After that, they waved at Keke and Tenax to say good bye.

That figure under the grape vine frame had left and returned, but this time, he had left for real. Xiao Chen knew it was finally safe for tonight!

Exuvia and Historia level practitioners might not know what did the multi-colored divine feathers on the rock represent, but that figure under the grape vine frame definitely knew!

The starlight was really bright tonight. Xiao Chen bathed in the holy radiance of transformation and stood at the courtyard with the ancient spear like that for one night.

This night, was bound to be a very unusual night. The event regarding Xiao Chen challenging several Ninth Celestial Layer experts at night-time was already known by many people.

It would inevitably cause some groups to flare up.

As expected, Zhuge fatty immediately ran over the next morning, making a big fuss.

“Brother, you are too strong! You are too strong! Your crazy play during the night caused many families in the city unable to sleep! You are too strong…” The fatty was so excited that he didn’t even know what he was saying anymore. In the end, there was only that one sentence: “You are too strong…”

Soon after, the beautiful Fairsky also ran over. After he saw the ancient spear Pasteur, he was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out. He cried out in surprise, “This mother f— is… the ancient spear Pasteur?!”

“There’s an important banquet tomorrow. I got this invitation card for you at the last moment. I will take you there tomorrow night.” The fatty was talking endlessly. In brief, he was already a little high early this morning.

“The two of you help me do something first.” Xiao Chen continued, “Help me put this ancient spear up for auction.”

“Are you crazy?!” Fairsky and the fatty were stupefied and shouted simultaneously.
