Chapter 1809 (Raw 1821): One Hundred Thousand Great Peaks
“Young Master Xiao, what happened earlier?”
“Indeed. Big Brother Xiao, I heard the miserable screams of many people.”
The Iron Hand Yama, Fei`er, and the rest of the crew all gathered at the ship’s bow. Then, they asked Xiao Chen about what happened as they looked at him, who was in the crow’s-nest.
No one could understand what had happened and even felt a little worried.
Xiao Chen descended with a flash. Then, he smiled faintly and said, “It’s fine. It is just the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation improving further. Xiao Suo and I worked together to operate the formation and destroyed this group of people.”
Xiao Suo appeared at this moment and said with a smile, “Everyone, don’t worry. Big Brother and I managed to discover the tricks behind the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation one month ago. Now, we no longer have to fear the Iron Horn Pirate Group. Yan Zhe won’t be able to do anything to us. However, as we feared information about this leaking to Yan Zhe, we did not tell you all.”
“That is great!” Fei`er said, elated. Due to her innocent nature, she did not dwell on the matter.
The Iron Horn Pirate Group had always been like a thorn in their flesh, poking at them at every moment.
This was especially so after that day when Yan Zhe slaughtered Wei Shaofeng’s entire crew.
That had deeply shocked everyone.
Although no one said it, everyone thought that the Black Cutlass would end up like Wei Shaofeng’s ship.
The shadow of death was already planted in their heart.
Now that everyone heard that the Black Cutlass’s strength had improved considerably, the shadow in their heart disappeared. Naturally, it was hard for them to hide their joy.
Xiao Chen looked at everyone’s relaxed expression and revealed a smile. Seeing them happy was actually pretty good as well.
What does the difference between the Demonic Dao and the Righteous Dao have to do with me?
I only need to be concerned about the people I love—my friends, my family, and my lover.
In life, aside from what I pursue, aren’t these all that are left?
With this thought, Xiao Chen’s mental state cultivation improved further.
He saw through his own character, understanding his own heart even more thoroughly now.
The group left, feeling assured. Then, Xiao Suo quietly joined Xiao Chen on the crow’s-nest and said somewhat excitedly, “Big Brother, the ship is now as powerful as a 6-Star pirate ship. To think that the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation can even consume other ships. This is really incredible. Should we—”
Xiao Chen directly interrupted Xiao Suo, “If I deliberately set out to slaughter, then I will deviate from the Demonic Dao. Now, I vaguely feel that the world has misunderstood the Demonic Dao. The so-called Demonic Dao is not about killing the innocent and being lawless, being arrogant and thinking one’s self as supreme. The true meaning of the Demonic Dao should be a pride that does not bow down to fate, one that disdains the worldly conventions, an unfettered and carefree heart.”
Xiao Chen’s heart had sunk when he realized what Xiao Suo was thinking. Xiao Suo wanted to let the Black Cutlass go and consume other ships.
Xiao Suo smiled bitterly. “Big Brother, I find that I am increasingly unable to understand you.”
Xiao Chen smiled and said softly, “It is because I have experienced much more than you. In the future, you will understand. From the very start, I believed that you would become a Pirate King one day.”
When Xiao Suo heard this, he burst out in laughter. “Big Brother, you think too highly of me.”
“Here, for you.”
Xiao Chen opened his palm and directly handed the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation’s formation plate to Xiao Suo.
“This is…” Xiao Suo said, feeling confused, “This is the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation’s formation plate. If it is taken out, won’t the formation stop operating?”
Xiao Chen pointed to his own temple and said, “Right now, I am controlling the formation. Even without the formation plate, I can operate it. I’m handing the formation plate to you now and will pass you a blood seal later. You will be able to use the formation plate to operate the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation for a short period.”
“Big Brother, you are leaving!” Xiao Suo suddenly startled awake. Then, he immediately said, “I’m not doing it.”
Xiao Chen smiled and said, “I need to leave. I simply cannot figure out why Yan Zhe is leaving at this moment. That person is too scary. I need to use this time to grow stronger. With you controlling the demonic ship and wandering this sea region, you will definitely gain some harvest.”
“However, the Myriad Star Mountain is extremely dangerous. I’m truly worried about Big Brother’s safety.”
Xiao Suo had admired Xiao Chen all along, feeling sincere respect for him. He simply did not want anything to happen to Xiao Chen.
“It’s fine. The mysterious phenomenon has not started yet, so the Myriad Star Mountain’s most dangerous period is still impending. Furthermore, I have already merged with the ship. As long as it is not too far away, I can instantly call the ship over with some preparation.”
After getting Xiao Chen’s promise, Xiao Suo relaxed. “Go on, then. The Black Cutlass will not remain idle. Although I do not have Big Brother’s mental state, I will not take the initiative to start a massacre.”
Xiao Chen nodded. Then, in the next moment, he appeared on the Spirit Beast Platform.
His gaze landed on the Demon Blood Vulture. Then, his lips curled up, revealing a smile.
This fellow wants me to fly him away again. Didn’t you want to eat this great me? Well, beg me now. Go on. Beg me. Beg me. Ouch!
Xiao Chen landed on the Demon Blood Vulture’s head. When he saw that it did not move at all, merely showing a cocky smile, he immediately knocked on its head. “What are you thinking?”
This great me will endure first. After suffering some pain, the Demon Blood Vulture suddenly spread its wings and carried Xiao Chen away, kicking up winds and waves.
Then, the Demon Blood Vulture flew towards the Myriad Star Mountain, to the one hundred thousand great peaks that the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s body had turned into.
While the Myriad Star Mountain was called a mountain, it was actually a vast continent in the Ash Gray Sea.
The one hundred thousand great peaks covered an area even vaster than a great realm.
Demonic clouds gathered above them, and the sky showed all sorts of changes. The Myriad Star Mountain was boundless and extremely mysterious.
The Ash Gray Sea was one of the forbidden seas in the first place. The Spiritual Energy in this sea naturally contained a demonic nature.
The one hundred thousand great peaks looked like they had pulled over all the Demonic Qi in the sea to form the incredibly terrifying demonic clouds above them.
The demonic clouds covered the sky, appearing endless.
The closer one got to the one hundred thousand great peaks, the thicker the demonic clouds in the sky appeared. They were pitch-black and seemed to have demons and ghosts howling in them.
Occasionally, black lightning fell. When the electric light flashed on one’s face, it could fluster one for some reason.
Xiao Chen felt somewhat curious. Would there really be a mysterious phenomenon that would sweep all these demonic clouds away?
Would there be a strange scene of a nightless sky?
Just the thought of it seemed incredible. The demonic clouds were terrifyingly thick.
Xiao Chen estimated that even a Sovereign Personage would not be able to easily disperse the demonic clouds. The Demonic Qi in them was not something that ordinary people could endure.
However, the Demon Blood Vulture that Xiao Chen sat on seemed strangely excited, screeching loudly without stopping.
Mine! Mine! All mine!
As the Demon Blood Vulture carried Xiao Chen, it occasionally opened its beak wide and immediately swallowed a large patch of demonic clouds. The feathers all over its body continuously turned more splendid. Its strength grew at a visible pace.
Xiao Chen frowned slightly, feeling that something was not quite right. How could there be such a huge free lunch in the world?
If it were really that easy to obtain, no matter how boundless and endless the demonic clouds were, they would be drained by the Demonic Dao experts.
Hahaha! You fool, fall down for this great me!
The Demon Blood Vulture’s self-confidence grew rampant. It felt that after it endured for so long, its opportunity finally arrived.
It shook its body and wings, catching Xiao Chen off guard, and directly flung him off.
Now that Xiao Chen was already in the Myriad Star Mountain, he felt that the gravity was intense. His body plummeted uncontrollably.
Damn it! Xiao Chen cursed in his heart. At a crucial moment, he twisted his body and alighted on a towering tree.
This tree was more than three kilometers tall. When he looked around, he found that this place was a forest within the one hundred thousand great peaks.
Before Xiao Chen could stabilize his footing, he heard a sharp whistle and the familiar screech of the Demon Blood Vulture.
When he looked up, he only saw a gigantic, demonic, black ball streaking through the sky, falling several times faster than he had.
“Boom!”
In the next moment, the ground shook, and the mountains trembled.
The black ball kicked up a boundless cloud of dust when it crashed into the ground.
“What the heck?”
After hesitating for a moment, the confused Xiao Chen leaped up and moved from treetop to treetop.
After a while, he saw what had happened from the top of a tree and could not help laughing.
Who told you to be greedy?
The Demon Blood Vulture’s enormous body had swollen up like a balloon and rounded out, unable to move at all.
The Demon Blood Vulture shrieked in pain on the ground, letting out strange cries.
Just as Xiao Chen prepared to go down, he heard voices, which made him stop and quickly hide in the tree.
“First Senior Brother, I saw a Demon Blood Vulture earlier.”
“Cut the crap. You are not the only one who saw it. Quickly go over. Otherwise, other people will snatch it away.”
“Quick! Quick! Quick! It is a mutated Demon Blood Vulture, lying injured on the ground!”
Figures flashed in all directions. Several Demonic Dao cultivators rushed over wildly.
Soon, ten-odd people appeared and surrounded the Demon Blood Vulture. When they saw it, they were all stunned.
A female Demonic Dao sect disciple asked, “Senior Brother, what’s going on? Why does this Demon Blood Vulture seem like it is pregnant?”
That senior brother observed for a moment before saying seriously, “Hahaha! This Demon Blood Vulture is going to give birth. Everyone, there is no rush; just wait for a while. A Demon Blood Vulture usually lays at least six eggs. That is enough for us to split.”
“That is great. An infant Demon Blood Vulture is much more valuable than an adult Demon Blood Vulture.”
“We struck gold.”
The many Demonic Dao sect disciples were all overjoyed. They remained in the vicinity.
Lays eggs, my ass. Go away. This group of fools… This great me cannot take this anymore…
The Demon Blood Vulture felt very conflicted. It endured for a bit and tried to cry out to scare away this group of people. However, its efforts were to no avail.
I really cannot take this anymore!
“Poot!”
In the next moment, a resonant and shocking sound came from the tail end of the Demon Blood Vulture, reverberating endlessly.
A gaseous substance that looked like poison fog spread into the surroundings, quickly encasing those Demonic Dao sect disciples.
Following that, Xiao Chen heard many extremely tragic cries.
“It stinks! It really, really stinks!”
“This Demon Blood Vulture was going to fart. Which bastard said that it was going to lay eggs?”
“It smells awful. I’m going to die…”
“It reeks too darn much. How can there be such a disgusting and lowly Demon Blood Vulture in the world?!”
The ten-odd Demonic Dao sect disciples had their mouth, noses, and ears filled with the “poison gas.” It was so smelly that they all vomited and wished for death instead of suffering this. They fled as though they were running for their lives.
That was great! This great me had never let out such a long fart before. The Demon Blood Vulture let out a long cry, feeling very comfortable.
