Chapter 1775 (Raw 1787): Attempted Assassination along the Way

The three blessed lands of the Grave Sea—the Heavenly Shaking Mountain, the Black Cave Mountain, and the Potala Mountain—were not far from each other.

However, if one did not use a special vehicle, oceanic beast, or a transportation formation, traveling from one to another would normally take seven or eight days.

Xiao Chen was not slow, comparable to those Star Venerates who did not cultivate special Movement Techniques. He required only four days to reach the Potala Mountain blessed land.

Half a day after leaving the Purple Flame Sect, he exited the Black Cave Mountain.

When seen from outside, above the vast sea, the Black Cave Mountain was shrouded in boundless fog, with only the silhouette of a mountain range visible.

If one was not a Black Cave Mountain sect disciple, one would find it difficult to traverse the fog and enter the blessed land.

This was why the three blessed lands were shrouded in a layer of mystery in the Grave Sea.

Naturally, the people who had been in the blessed lands before would not have such a feeling.

For example, before Xiao Chen entered the blessed land, he had also been full of curiosity, revering it.

Now, he had been in and out a few times, and the younger generation in the three blessed lands was no longer his match.

While in Dragon Flame City, Xiao Chen had challenged everyone there and experienced something of a much higher level.

Hence, when he looked at the blessed lands of the Grave Sea now, he felt that they were merely so-so.

"Someone is following me?"

Soon after leaving the Black Cave Mountain, Xiao Chen noticed something strange: an indistinct strand of hidden killing Qi. It was almost indiscernible.

The one following Xiao Chen might be a Star Venerate with deep accumulations.

This person is extraordinary!

Who can make such a big move?

After Xiao Chen thought about it, he concluded that it could only be the Divine Firmament Sect.

Xiao Chen's repeatedly defeating Shangguan Lei, suppressing him, was a huge blow to the Divine Firmament Sect.

The Divine Firmament Sect spent vast amounts of resources on Shangguan Lei. They even secretly promoted his popularity, practically making him a spiritual symbol of the Divine Firmament Sect's youths.

Over the years, the Divine Firmament Sect had created an image of invincibility among the same generation, a tyrannical image.

However, Shangguan Lei lost to Xiao Chen twice, the second time worse than first. A Rank 4 sect simply could not accept such humiliating results.

Even the ordinary disciples would not be able to bear it. After all, the sect spent a fortune in resources on Shangguan Lei.

Due to Xiao Chen, not only did the many resources that the Divine Firmament Sect spent all go to waste, but the Divine Firmament Sect also received a ruthless slap.

How could this be tolerated?

Without any change in expression, Xiao Chen continued rushing forward on the sea. He gently pushed with his feet and moved quickly.

Since the other party already decided to make a move, he had to be fully confident.

After all, the price of failure would be extremely high.

Xiao Chen was reluctant to fight a pointless battle. He executed his Movement Technique, and a faint purple flame burned around his body as he flew as swift as a phantom.

"You want to flee?! How can it be so easy?"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Upon seeing Xiao Chen increase his speed, that hidden person revealed himself and quickly gave chase.

Xiao Chen turned his head back and looked. He saw that person behind bathed in electric light.

That person moved at lightning speed, kicking up huge waves and traveling fifty kilometers in an instant.

It was indeed a person from the Divine Firmament Sect.

Xiao Chen thought to himself, This isn't good. The Divine Firmament Sect's Movement Technique was famous for explosive bursts of speed.

Like a bolt of lightning, electricity flickered; then, that person appeared as if he teleported.

Rumbling rang out endlessly. Towering waves continuously surged up.

Boundless thunderclouds spread quickly in the sky above, looming closer to Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen executed the Fish Dragon Art to its limits. As he stuck close to the sea surface, he moved like a fish in water, using the surging sea waves to try to increase the distance.

However, the old man behind did not care about the drain on his Veritable Essence Energy at all.

Clearly, the old man came prepared, with many Medicinal Pills to support him, not stingy in consuming them at all.

After half a day, Xiao Chen saw that the sky above him was already covered with thunderclouds.

He sighed softly and stopped dashing forward.

Xiao Chen closed his eyes as he stood on the sea surface, bobbing along with the waves.

He waited quietly for the enemy to arrive, storing up power.

A lightning bolt flashed, and an aura locked down on Xiao Chen's surroundings. Thunder followed closely, booming throughout the surrounding five kilometers and churning the thunderclouds.

"Brat, why aren't you running anymore?" that old man shouted coldly at Xiao Chen. He wore the uniform of a Divine Firmament Sect Elder, and the tyrannical Thunder Might in his eyes seemed palpable as he made a stern expression.

"The thunderclouds already arrived. Senior's Thunder Domain already caught up. There was no point in continuing to run."

Xiao Chen did not open his eyes. His expression remained calm without any fluctuations at all.

"You are rather wise. I think you should know why I am here. Sometimes, when helping another, it is very easy to get used as a tool, becoming cannon fodder. Don't blame this old man for bullying the young. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for helping the Purple Flame Sect!" the old man said coldly.

Then, the old man raised his hand and gathered countless lightning bolts. Thunderclouds churned in the sky, hiding all sorts of mysterious phenomena, waiting to unleash them.

"Die!"

The old man did not underestimate Xiao Chen at all. The moment he attacked, he launched a powerful technique.

Xiao Chen saw the countless mysterious phenomena hidden in the thick thunderclouds in the sky gather into an ancient lightning palace pressing down on himself.

Formed completely of pure lightning-attributed Veritable Essence Energy, that palace contained the old man's will of soul and Thunder Domain.

A heavy and ancient aura spread out. This palace had to be replicating a certain building from the Ancient Era, something extremely ancient.

It's really strong!

Xiao Chen felt startled in his heart. This old man's cultivation was not very high, just about peak early-stage Starry Sky Stage.

However, this old man must have had this cultivation for at least one hundred years. Furthermore, as a Rank 4 sect Elder, he possessed deep accumulations.

This was not a person that a fresh Star Venerate or a regular Star Venerate could resist.

No wonder the Divine Firmament Sect sent only this one person. They were confident of killing Xiao Chen.

If not for that Dragon Blood Pill digging out the ancient power hidden in Xiao Chen's bloodline, reconstructing his Veritable Essence Energy and Vital Qi, just this move alone would kill him.

As the ancient lightning palace descended, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes.

A brilliant light flickered in them. The two hundred six dragon bones in his body gave off explosive sounds.

The explosive sounds and the rushing of Xiao Chen's blood merged into one, allowing his aura to reach its peak right then and there.

Xiao Chen punched, and fifteen ancient dragon cauldrons shining with azure light appeared above his head. The cauldrons banged against each other loudly.

The clangor kicked up towering waves. Thousands of water pillars surged up from the sea.

Each water pillar looked like a huge dragon bursting out of the sea. In that instant, this mysterious phenomenon completely suppressed the tyrannical aura of the lightning palace.

"Boom!"

In the time it took for a spark to fly, Xiao Chen's fist light shot out. The lightning palace, which the old man thought that would definitely suppress and kill Xiao Chen, showed small cracks.

One punch containing fifteen Cauldron Force caused the entire sea to sink.

Wait, that's not right. It did not shatter.

Xiao Chen's heart skipped a beat as he sensed something wrong. Although there were cracks in the lightning palace, it did not show any signs of disintegrating.

The force was clearly sufficient. Why did it not break?

The old man revealed a surprised expression. After looking blank for a moment, he said, "Your strength is really shocking. However, in the end, you are not a Star Venerate. Even if you possess the will of soul, you are unable to use it as I can."

Will of soul!

No wonder. So that is the reason.

The core of this lightning palace was the old man's will of soul, which he had tempered several times. If the will of soul was not extinguished, it would be impossible to break this move.

"Rumble…!"

The lightning palace pressed down once more, and Xiao Chen felt enormous pressure again.

However, Xiao Chen did not get flustered. His eyes lit up in an expression of understanding.

So, that is how to use the will of soul. This is indeed a great eye-opener.

Saber!

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and unsheathed the Tyrant Saber. A swastika appeared on his forehead, and his body emitted a Buddhist light. Then, he instantly executed Resolving the Mundane, revealing an eternally inextinguishable saber light.

This chopped the descending palace in half. The electric light scattered, leaving a bright flickering mark.

That was the old man's will of soul.

Break! Xiao Chen did not stop moving. His own will of soul shot out from his sea of consciousness in one instant.

The two wills of soul clashed, erupting with a terrifying energy shock wave that sent both Xiao Chen and the old man flying.

Above the sea waves, the two radiated terrifying auras.

Xiao Chen felt very satisfied. His reconstructed Veritable Essence Energy was indeed extraordinary.

It even increased the might of Resolving the Mundane explosively.

Xiao Chen managed to break that lightning palace with one saber strike.

The old man was shocked. He simply had not expected Xiao Chen's Veritable Essence Energy and will of soul to be this strong, not much weaker than his.

Xiao Chen's only weakness was his usage of the will of soul.

Damn it!

However, that is all. Xiao Chen is still not strong enough.

No matter what, he has not broken through to the Cloud Sea Realm and is still a distance from me.

"Whoosh!"

However, as the old man was about to continue attacking, a saber light slashed down from the sky.

That saber light appeared without any warning, chopping the old man in half. The old man could not resist at all.

A horrifying Saber Might spread into the surroundings.

Xiao Chen's heart sank. The newcomer was a horrifying existence that was at least a late-stage Star Venerate. Who is it?
