Chapter 249 - 166: One Dragon, One Elephant! Unrivaled in the World

Chapter 249: Chapter 166: One Dragon, One Elephant! Unrivaled in the World

It then swept towards Chen Xuan once more.

Chen Xuan frowned and circulated his True Essence. Powerful flames once again blazed to life behind him. The giant shadows of a dragon and an elephant emerged, illuminating the area for a hundred meters around, accompanied by rolling lightning that crackled and sparked.

His gaze was ice-cold as he scanned the surrounding darkness.

Finally, with a leap, he landed directly on the head of the giant fire dragon and sat down cross-legged.

’Very well!’

’Now, let’s see what other Demons and Monsters on this entire island dare to show their faces.’

’Show your face and you die!’

’No questions asked!’

In an instant, a terrifying silence fell in all directions.

Aside from the sound of the wild wind whipping through the darkness, there was no other movement or noise.

Nearly all the Demons and Monsters had fled for their lives in terror.

Tonight was supposed to be their carnival.

It was their day, once every ten years, to absorb the dark yin source.

But unfortunately, they had been incited by the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect and provoked a terrifyingly deadly star like him.

Of all the ghouls and fiends, seventy to eighty percent had been killed...

Not a single creature dared to remain.

Every last ghoul and fiend cursed the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect and Black Demon Mountain countless times, wishing they could dig up their ancestral graves.

「In the distance.」

Zhao Qianyue, his face a mask of shock, hurried over. From far away, he saw the enormous, ferocious fire dragon and the burly young man sitting cross-legged atop its head...

For a moment, he was completely stunned.

’It’s over...’

Everything on the island was over.

’The Evil Cult experts are all dead?’

’The Demons and Monsters have all fled.’

At this very moment, that young man had clearly become the most terrifying existence on the island...

He took a deep breath of the hot air, at a loss for words.

’And the Alliance Leader sent me to protect him?’

’It seems more likely he’d be the one protecting me.’

’An Inner Realm expert at twenty years old... the very thought is terrifying. And he’s far beyond the Inner Realm First Heaven...’

’For any genius to live in the same generation as Chen Xuan would be their greatest tragedy.’

He fell silent for a moment, then finally turned and left, heading toward Mr. Zhuo and Elder Wu to help them handle the aftermath.

In truth, there was nothing left to handle.

The Demons and Monsters had basically all run away.

Besides the boundless darkness, there was nothing left on the island.

All they had to do was wait for dawn.

...

「Atop the fire dragon’s head.」

Chen Xuan could clearly feel the True Essence in his body being consumed at a rapid rate.

’As expected, maintaining a spellcasting state for a long time consumes True Essence at an unimaginable speed.’

But he had the Innate Tyrant Body, which could restore not only his injuries but also his True Essence. It was like having an ultra-powerful blue buff; his True Essence was being consumed at a rate of 30 liters per second while being restored at 31 liters per second.

He was basically restoring as much as he consumed.

In fact, he was restoring even more than he consumed. It was practically inexhaustible.

He looked at his panel again.

...

’The Nine Yang Red Fire Skill is now officially perfected. I’ll have to find a brand new Inner Realm method to continue it...’ Chen Xuan mused.

He closed his eyes and looked inward.

Within his body, he saw mountains, rivers, trees, and grasslands...

But all the mountains, rivers, trees, and grasslands were the color of fire.

Occasionally, there was also the color of lightning.

This was the small world within his body.

These mountains, rivers, trees, and grasslands were all blurry, not yet finely polished.

The differences in combat power within the Inner Realm were actually enormous.

According to Chu Shanhe, the Earth Ranking listed the strongest experts of the Inner Realm.

The Ninth Layer of Inner Realm alone had countless subtleties.

And where did those subtleties lie?

They lay in the polishing of the small world within one’s body.

For someone like Chen Xuan, this small world was still blurry, crude, and not yet fully solidified.

But for the figures on the Earth and Heaven Rankings, the small worlds within their bodies were a different story.

They had cultivated them to be incredibly realistic, almost indistinguishable from the great world outside.

The more exquisitely and expansively the inner world was forged, the stronger one’s power became. This was why even among those at the Ninth Layer of Inner Realm, there could be world-shaking differences in strength.

Of course, Chen Xuan was still only at the Inner Realm Third Layer.

He still had a long way to go.

But with the system, everything would fall into place naturally. There was no need to worry too much.

He suddenly looked at the giant fire elephant to the side and frowned.

’This giant elephant has no style. Let’s change it to a thunder elephant.’

SNAP!

He snapped his fingers, and the ancient fire elephant, once blazing with flames, instantly transformed into an ancient thunder elephant, flashing with lightning and crackling with electricity.

Chen Xuan’s expression was instantly one of satisfaction.

’A fire dragon!’

’A thunder elephant!’

’Now that’s much more stylish!’

’From now on, I’ll focus on developing them!’

...

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

The morning sun rose.

The thick darkness, like strange ink, began to rapidly dissipate under the sunlight, turning into vast swathes of white fog that shrouded the entire island.

You could barely see your hand in front of your face.

Chen Xuan opened his eyes and looked around.

He recalled the fire dragon and thunder elephant and descended from mid-air.

"How did it get all foggy?"

"Elder Chen..."

Zhao Qianyue’s concerned voice came from nearby. He walked over and explained, "It’s always like this after the Night of Dark Fog. When the darkness meets the sun, it automatically turns into white fog. This fog will then linger for about three days before it completely dissipates."

"Alright."

Chen Xuan nodded. "How are you all doing?"

"More than twenty disciples were killed or injured, but the rest are fine."

Zhao Qianyue replied, "I will arrange for compensation to be sent to their families later."

"I’ll go back with you. I need to look for some Inner Realm methods anyway," Chen Xuan said.

"Inner Realm methods..."

Zhao Qianyue said, "Alright. The Alliance Leader has already granted you the clearance anyway."

"Then let’s go!"

Chen Xuan smiled and started walking away.

He was eager to see what treasures the Martial Alliance’s scripture repository held.
