Chapter 2024 (Raw 2120): Fighting for First

After entering the five-colored energy ball, Xiao Chen felt the space around him change .

The world spun around, and a starkly different scene appeared before him .

A wide path made of stone tiles lay ahead . A sea of boiling lava churned on both sides of the path .

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Occasionally, hot lava shot into the air, looking like pillars of flame .

A hot and arid aura spread in the air . When Xiao Chen probed his surroundings, he found that the gravity of this place was extraordinary .

The gravity here was about ten times that outside .

Xiao Chen did not rush to walk on the stone tile path . He let his physical body acclimate to this space before looking to the end of the wide path .

A huge stone door stood there .

No alternate path was available . After Xiao Chen acclimatized to this place, he took a deep breath and executed Light of Freedom .

He turned into a lightning bolt streaking over the wide path .

Along the way, the lava on both sides occasionally splashed over .

Xiao Chen had to slow down and carefully dodge .

While a lightning bolt, Xiao Chen was very weak . If he touched this lava, parts of his physical body might burn to ashes when he resumed his true form .

Even so, he felt that something was off .

When Xiao Chen reached the halfway point, the dense fire-attributed Spiritual Energy in the surroundings had already squeezed out the lightning-attributed Spiritual Energy, not leaving any behind .

Xiao Chen could only utilize his own Veritable Essence Energy to maintain Light of Freedom .

Clearly, this was not good .

Who knew what other dangers there would be after the stone door?

Depleting his energy here was not wise .

Forced to revert to his true form, Xiao Chen landed gently on the ground . However, the moment his feet touched the path, he thought to himself, Oh no!

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The seemingly sturdy, wide path instantly crumbled . A suction pulled Xiao Chen down .

Huge lava waves surged on both sides, looking like the massive mouth of a malicious beast wanting to swallow Xiao Chen up .

“How problematic,” Xiao Chen said . Then, the Veritable Essence Energy all over his body shook .

“Bang!” The Veritable Essence Energy containing his Holy Venerate Will scattered the lava as though sweeping through dead branches .

Xiao Chen smashed his palm down . He soared into the air using the rebound force and landed on the part of the wide path that remained intact .

Then, he broke into a sprint as the path started collapsing from under him . However, the path always crumbled slower than he ran .

Despite the tenfold gravity, Xiao Chen still moved nimbly . He remained calm as he dealt with the various changes .

He survived the daunting experience without any mishap . Soon, he arrived at the end of the stone path, reaching the stone door .

By now, Xiao Chen understood that there would be various trials along the first stage to delay them .

While it did not look dangerous, the small delays would accumulate . In the end, one might discover that others had already gone ahead .

I cannot remain here!

After Xiao Chen made up his mind, the stone door in front suddenly toppled over, casting an immense shadow over him .

This was like a mountain peak suddenly falling on top of him .

“Break!”

Xiao Chen snorted coldly, and one hundred Cauldron Force exploded in his fist light .

His punch crushed the falling stone door into pieces flying everywhere .

“Whoosh!”

He spread his arms wide and traveled through the stone-shard-filled air before landing in a vast hall .

The entire hall was forged of ancient Heavenly Mountain Stones . The dragon patterns carved there gave off immense pressure .

When Xiao Chen took a step forward, he suddenly saw a round pillar towering in the center of the hall .

Just as he felt startled, his heart suddenly skipped a beat . Horror surged in his heart .

Xiao Chen was extremely familiar with this feeling . When he recalled its source, he said, “This is…this is…a Hou! The Dragon Race’s nemesis, the Hou!”

“Boom!”

The moment Xiao Chen remembered, the round pillar shattered, and a ferocious beast appeared before him .

This Hou was different from Xiao Chen’s memories .

This ferocious beast looked like a fierce tiger with a venomous snake for a tail . The snake coiled up and rested on the tiger’s back .

“A Snake-Tailed Tiger!”

Xiao Chen understood . This was a ferocious beast with a Hou bloodline, not a pure-blooded Hou .

The designer of this stage was genuinely deranged . An ordinary Dragon Race cultivator would not be able to put up a fight at all . In two or three moments, this Snake-Tailed Tiger would eat him up, not leaving scraps .

However, Xiao Chen was different . He was someone who had fought a ghost Hou . He also had received pointers from the old Dragon Horse in the Kunlun Realm’s Azure Dragon Palace .

Xiao Chen’s resistance to the Hou was much stronger than any other Dragon Race cultivator’s .

The Snake-Tailed Tiger let out a roar, and immense pressure burst forth from its body .

As the sound waves propagated, the might and pressure from its Huo bloodline spread out as well .

This placed immense pressure on Xiao Chen .

However, Xiao Chen did not panic . He moved back and put a distance between himself and the Snake-Tailed Tiger .

“Whoosh!”

After the Snake-Tailed Tiger suppressed Xiao Chen with its aura, it pounced at him at lightning speed .

This pounce brought out its Hou might and pressure to the maximum .

Breathing became difficult; Xiao Chen’s throat nearly seized up .

A strong wind blew, and it felt like a mountain moving through the air, bringing enormous pressure .

Xiao Chen gently pushed off the ground, shifting away in the time it took for a spark to fly .

He dodged this fatal attack . However, the long snake tail of this ferocious beast spat a mouthful of extremely potent venom .

Xiao Chen had to dodge again in a somewhat sorry state .

“Pu ci!”

Black smoke wafted up from where the venom splattered the ground . The horrifying toxins immediately spread in the air .

Even if one held one’s breath, this toxin could penetrate a Veritable Essence Shield and enter the body .

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The situation turned extremely dangerous . The Snake-Tailed Tiger’s strike flustered Xiao Chen . The ferocious beast’s might and pressure immediately flourished, and its roar sounded like thunder .

The Snake-Tailed Tiger’s attacks became extremely sharp .

Xiao Chen found the combination of the toxins spreading in the air and the Hou bloodline in the Snake-Tailed Tiger’s body quite difficult to bear .

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Lightning-quick attacks shot out continuously . The aura that pressed down with the thunderous roars felt like horrifying waves, with each wave increasingly stronger .

Xiao Chen was like a small boat that could capsize at any moment . If others were here, they would tremble in fear, scared witless . They would not even dare to breathe deeply . This situation was simply too dangerous .

The Snake-Tailed Tiger nearly knocked him over on several occasions and would have succeeded if he had been even the slightest bit slower .

Once Xiao Chen fell, he would not be able to turn things around, given the Snake-Tailed Tiger’s Vital Qi of over two hundred Cauldron Force .

“Huff! Huff!”

The Snake-Tailed Tiger found Xiao Chen hard to catch after he managed to slip out from under its mouth so many times . Its sharp attacks started to falter .

The somewhat fatigued Snake-Tailed Tiger looked at Xiao Chen, who was in a sorry state . It did not feel any panic at all .

It thought that its attack had panicked the other party, that the other party was now a spent force .

The Snake-Tailed Tiger felt that its opponent was already fatigued and would become its meal eventually . Thus, it wanted to slow down its attacks and rest for a while . After that, it would pick up the pace and kill this person .

With this thought, a greedy and crafty look flashed in the Snake-Tailed Tiger’s eyes . It seemed extraordinarily sinister and cold .

The coiled snake tail on its back flicked its forked tongue, hissing—a very disturbing sight .

However, the Snake-Tailed Tiger failed to notice that while the white-clad youth was in a sorry state, he never evinced any panic in his eyes from the start to the end .

Xiao Chen’s clear eyes gleamed with an even colder light than the Snake-Tailed Tiger’s ferocious gaze .

The Snake-Tailed Tiger landed on the ground, and the stormlike attacks finally paused for a moment .

“Five Element Divine Lightning, Thunder Monarch Spear!”

Suddenly, electric light burst out of Xiao Chen’s palm . Infused with Great Dao Energy, the Five Element Divine Lightning materialized into a resplendent spear shining with bright, electric light .

Having just landed and relaxed, the Snake-Tailed Tiger could not react before that white-clad youth hurled the electric spear at it .

A brilliant Dao Might surged out .

The Thunder Dao’s Dao Might spreading from the speartip knocked the Snake-Tailed Tiger into the air in an instant while the dragon-like spear remained embedded in the ferocious beast’s body .

Electric light exploded in the Snake-Tailed Tiger’s body . The five-colored light turned into electricity shooting out relentlessly .

In the next moment, the Snake-Tailed Tiger lost all lifeforce, utterly lifeless .

When Xiao Chen withdrew his hand and landed, only a large and hard skeleton remained .

The Five Element Divine Lightning contained in the Thunder Monarch Spear had blasted all of the Snake-Tailed Tiger’s internal organs, skin, and flesh to nothing in an instant .

Xiao Chen remained expressionless, appearing calm, as though he had done nothing remarkable .

He looked to the front and muttered to himself, “Killing this Snake-Tailed Tiger in one move should make up for my earlier delay . The others definitely could not have killed it as quickly as I did . ”

A brilliant light flashed in his eyes as he charged ahead .

Xiao Chen’s calm, decisiveness, and past experiences gave him the chance to take first place .

Charge! Charge! Charge!

With an opportunity in hand, I will never give up!
