Chapter 1186: Quasi-Emperor-Level Ferocious Beast
At the Outstanding Talent Summit Meeting, Xiao Chen had successfully obtained an authentic Profound Martial Technique . Furthermore, he also received thousands of Essence Stones, enough to sustain him until he reached peak Great Perfection quasi-Emperor .
After ten days, Xiao Chen gained a rough understanding of the Medial Grade Profound Martial Technique .
He discovered that this Medial Grade Profound Martial Technique was extremely hard to comprehend .
This Medial Grade Profound Martial Technique was called Thousand Year Hegemony Establishment . It was boundlessly tyrannical and touched upon the will of kingship as well as some of the mysteries of the state of time .
Even among the current Primes, no one comprehended the state of time . Naturally, Xiao Chen did not, either .
When he finished reading the secret manual, it was as he expected . This Martial Technique was made by a Martial Emperor of the Ancient Era, the most glorious era of the Martial Epoch . That period had streets filled with Martial Sages and as many Martial Emperors as there were clouds .
Xiao Chen estimated that he would take at least one month to understand the meaning of the words in the secret manual . After spending another five days, he would achieve some superficial comprehension . After practicing for half a month, he might be able to use it as he pleased .
If Ba Tu and Ba Yan, or even Zhao Feng, who also obtained Medial Grade Profound Martial Techniques, found out about this fast comprehension speed, tears would fill their faces .
Zhao Feng had spent two months before he could barely execute that Medial Grade Profound Martial Technique . However, he could not control it freely .
Its true might was not as strong as the Inferior Profound Martial Technique that he was very familiar with .
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Suddenly, strong winds blew from the front . These winds were like knives, even appearing to tear through the air and moving extremely fast .
Xiao Chen put down the secret manual and squinted . He saw a flock of large, metallic birds twenty kilometers away, flying towards him en masse .
He checked with his Spiritual Sense and found these birds to be quasi-Emperor-level ferocious beasts . Even after ten kilometers, the might of the wind their wings kicked up grew instead of weakening .
“How problematic!”
There were too many strong winds . An ordinary quasi-Emperor expert would not be able to avoid getting injured when surrounded by all these sharp winds .
Xiao Chen frowned slightly . Two lights flashed in his eyes—one golden and one white . The Solar True Flame and Lunar True Flame both flew out at the same time . Then, they started chasing each other .
Soon, a massive Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram appeared in front of the war chariot .
All the wind knives flying over struck the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram and completely burned away . Then, Xiao Chen put away the Taiji Yinyang Flame Diagram and summoned Little Yellow Feather out of the Immortal Spirit Ring with the wave of his hand .
Little Yellow Feather flew towards the flock of ferocious birds . When these huge birds got close, they would not be any threat to Xiao Chen, so they were perfect for Little Yellow Feather to practice on .
After that, Xiao Chen did not bother to check on how Little Yellow Feather was doing . He took out the sea chart and felt somewhat depressed . He discovered that the sea chart only showed up to the Black Sea and nothing after that .
The Human-Demon Sea was at the edge of the oceanic world . The region between the Black Sea and the Human-Demon Sea was mostly very huge, desolate seas .
Few sea charts of the Heavenly Starry Ocean accurately mapped out this large, desolate sea region .
Xiao Chen could only figure out a rough direction and try to pinpoint his location later . So he entered the flood dragon war chariot and resumed his travels .
For the next ten days, all he saw was the vast desolate sea and some scattered deserted islands . Occasionally, he ran into ferocious beasts .
Xiao Chen saw all sorts of things except humans . He started to suspect that the flood dragon war chariot was moving too fast, resulting in his going the wrong direction .
If he was moving too fast in the wrong direction, by the time he reacted, he could very possibly be heading away from his destination .
On this particular day, after Xiao Chen finished a cultivation session, he tossed aside a completely drained Essence Stone . When he opened his eyes, he happened to see a group of cultivators . Joy immediately appeared on his face .
He had not seen anyone for over twenty days . One could easily imagine how he felt right now .
Xiao Chen directed the four quasi-Emperor-level flood dragons towards that group of people .
These people were quasi-Emperor experts . The leader was a gray-robed middle-aged man who appeared experienced . His cultivation already reached Consummation quasi-Emperor . When he saw Xiao Chen coming over with the flood dragon war chariot, he waved his hand, cautiously instructing his group to make preparations .
“Friends, there is no need to worry . I do not have any evil intentions . I just want to ask for directions . ”
Xiao Chen stopped the flood dragon war chariot five kilometers away and stated his intent, to avert possible conflicts .
“What a strong war chariot! The four flood dragons are all quasi-Emperor-level . ”
“It is probably a King Grade war chariot at the very peak, very impressive . ”
“Big Brother, that fellow seems to be only a Great Perfection quasi-Emperor . Furthermore, he is alone . ”
As Xiao Chen sized up these people, they sized him up as well . When they saw the flood dragon war chariot, their eyes all lit up .
That strange look appeared in the gray-robed middle-aged man’s eyes as well . However, after he considered Xiao Chen, he quickly calmed down and reined in his rash subordinates .
“This is the Dragon Grave Sea . Might I ask where you are from?” the middle-aged man said while performing a cupped-fist salute . This posture represented his good will, sort of an unwritten courtesy between cultivators .
Xiao Chen put away the flood dragon war chariot and arrived before the group of people in a flash . Then, he reciprocated the cupped-fist salute . “I came from the Dark Sea . What kind of sea region is this Dragon Grave Sea? I have never heard of it before . How far is it from the Human-Demon Sea? Could you tell me in more detail?”
The gray-robed man smiled and replied, “The Dragon Grave Sea is just a small sea region . It is normal to have never heard of it . However, I’m pretty sure that you must have heard of the Distant Sea Dragon Grave, one of the eight great forbidden lands, before . ”
Distant Sea Dragon Grave . Dragon Grave Sea .
Xiao Chen’s eyes immediately lit up in speculation . He said, “Could it be that the Distant Sea Dragon Grave, one of the eight great forbidden lands, is in this Dragon Grave Sea?”
The gray-robed man nodded and explained, “The Dragon Grave Sea got its name from the Distant Sea Dragon Grave . Our group is planning to go to the Distant Sea Dragon Grave and adventure . If you want to go to the Human-Demon Sea, your direction is correct . However, you still have a very long way to go . ”
Xiao Chen thanked the middle-aged man and asked, “Can you sell me a sea chart? I am willing to pay a high price for it . ”
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man shook his head in rejection .
Just when Xiao Chen was feeling confused, the middle-aged man pointed in a direction and said, “Just head another five hundred kilometers that way, and you will see a group of islands . It will be very cheap to purchase a sea chart there . There is no need to spend so much money buying it from me . ”
When Xiao Chen heard that, his impression of this middle-aged man automatically improved . “I am Xiao Chen . Would you be willing to give me your name? In the future, if we meet again, I will definitely thank you again . ”
The gray-robed middle-aged man smiled faintly and answered, “I am Liu Hao . There is no need to continue thanking me . It is just a little assistance . ”
After Xiao Chen departed, the companions of the gray-robed man immediately asked excitedly, “Big Brother Liu, why did you just watch as that fat lamb got away?”
“Indeed . Just that flood dragon war chariot alone is worth several million Black Astral Coins already . It is much better than us trying our luck at the Distant Sea Dragon Grave . ”
“It is just one Great Perfection quasi-Emperor . There are so many of us, and Big Brother is a Consummation quasi-Emperor . What are we afraid of?”
The gray-robed old man’s expression turned serious as he retorted in a cold voice, “You are very short-sighted . Just the expression of this person alone made it such that I did not dare to underestimate him . He already heard your comments and still dared to come by himself—which means that he is someone that we cannot handle . ”
Seeing that some people in the group were still unconvinced, the gray-robed middle-aged man could no longer be bothered to dissuade them . This group was put together at the last minute, and no deep friendship bound them . Since there were some people with other intentions, there was no point in forcing the group to stay together .
“Those of you who want to leave the group, just scram . It would be better than your thoughts being fickle when we get to the Distant Sea Dragon Grave and harming everyone in the end,” the gray-robed old man said coldly .
The moment the gray-robed old man said that, some people immediately made up their minds . Without saying anything more, these people quickly flew in the direction that Xiao Chen had taken .
After these people were far away, Liu Hao said indifferently, “There is no need to care about them anymore . They are already dead people . ”
His certain tone made the people who remained feel a chill down their backs .
---
After putting away the flood dragon war chariot, Xiao Chen flew in the direction that Liu Hao mentioned . An hour later, he finally saw the silhouette of a group of islands .
That was right . It was indeed a large number of islands densely clustered together .
Looking down from the sky, one would discover that this group of islands formed the outline of a coiling dragon .
Usually, there were not many islands in the desolate seas . Now that Xiao Chen saw so many islands, he revealed a gratified smile . Finally, he no longer had to worry about traveling in the wrong direction and getting lost .
Suddenly, he frowned . He looked at the sea under him, then made a strange expression .
However, after Xiao Chen’s Spiritual Sense reached the sea bottom, his expression eased with relief .
Although he had not spoken with that gray-robed old man for long, his instinct told him that the gray-robed man was rather cautious and quite experienced .
While the gray-robed old man was also greedy, he could control himself very well, knowing whom he could not afford to offend .
Xiao Chen had noticed some people shadowing him at the bottom of the sea . At first, he found it strange that the gray-robed old man changed his mind and followed him . However, when he got a clear look at the three people, he understood what had happened .
Xiao Chen’s lips curled up into a smile . He stopped moving immediately, disinclined to waste any time with this trio . So he circulated all the Law Energy in his body and made the first move, smashing a palm strike onto the waves .
A resplendent bright moon like that of fire exploded in the sea, kicking up huge splashes and sending water surging out for fifty kilometers around .
The moment Xiao Chen decided to make a move, he executed the Thousand Year Flame . The bright moon exploded in the sea, carrying his lofty aspirations and striking up thousands of layers of waves that soared into the clouds .
A few miserable shrieks rang out as three figures leaped out of the water . These three figures were covered in wounds, and blood flowed continuously from the corners of their lips .
Although the strong explosive power of the Thousand Year Flame diminished before it struck the three, it caught them off guard . They were still thinking about how to sneak-attack Xiao Chen when the Thousand Year Flame found them unprepared and inflicted severe injuries on them .
This unexpected attack forced these three to give up on robbing Xiao Chen . Horror appeared in their eyes as they tacitly split up and fled .
Since Xiao Chen already made a move, he had no intention of letting these three people go . Those who wanted to prey on him had better be ready to pay the price .
