Chapter 1837 (Raw 1848): Unexpected Reinforcement

Xiao Chen held the Faux God Flame in his hand. The Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s inheritance was only one step away.

In fact, it was not even one step away. As long as he wanted to, he could absorb and refine this Faux God Flame.

Then, he would receive the rich experiences of the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s life, the various mysterious sea charts, the treasures in the forbidden sea, and the secrets of this one hundred thousand great peaks.

All the Soul Tools on this stone pillar were not even worth mentioning before this Faux God Flame.

They were not even considered a drop in the ocean. There was no comparison at all.

“Damn it! Why?!”

When Yan Zhe saw this scene, he turned dispirited, his eyes listless, looking like a walking corpse.

He had plotted and schemed for so long, putting in a lot of effort and making all sorts of plans. He had also put on an act from the very start.

However, in the end, he got nothing. The result was too cruel.

This was a great blow to Yan Zhe, who had harbored extremely great expectations.

It was not just Yan Zhe. Although the reactions of the other older-generation Holy Venerates did not appear as exaggerated as his, they still showed deep envy and helplessness on their faces.

If it were a Holy Venerate who obtained the inheritance, they would feel convinced of their loss.

However, it was Xiao Chen, an ant that they could crush at any time previously, who climbed onto the stone pillar and grasped the Faux God Flame.

It looked like Xiao Chen would soon receive the inheritance. He would soar from here, becoming resplendent and dazzling.

These people personally witnessed a junior climbing on them to rise up. No one would be able to accept this in their heart.

On the divine flame’s stone pillar, Xiao Chen was preparing to absorb the Faux God Flame and receive the inheritance when something strange happened.

A barrier appeared around the Faux God Flame, preventing Xiao Chen from absorbing it. At the same time, a thought entered Xiao Chen’s mind.

This thought was a sigh at first. Then, it turned into words. How unfortunate. You are very suitable to receive my inheritance in every aspect. However…you lack something, something that I care the most about.

Is that so?

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment. Then, he said, I understand. However, Senior, please give me a chance. I know someone who can receive your inheritance.

Good. No matter how I look at you, we are very similar to each other. You were able to reach this step. I trust you. However, if you cannot receive my inheritance, the Faux God Might on you will not last for long. I hope that you will be able to leave alive.

The voice stopped speaking. The Faux God Flame turned into a mark on Xiao Chen’s palm.

The fire burning on Xiao Chen’s body slowly extinguished, and the demonic clouds in the sky retreated like the receding tide.

“Whoosh!”

The Faux God Might completely disappeared from Xiao Chen’s body. All the Dao Tools and Soul Tools on the various stone pillars in the space flashed and entered the stone pillars.

Only the Spirit Jades remained, a small consolation.

“What’s going on?!”

This happened suddenly, surprising everyone. All the inherited Dao Tools and Soul Tools vanished.

This shocked those Holy Venerates, who felt that they could at least make the trip worthwhile by subduing a Soul Tool since they could not obtain the Faux God Flame. Now, this was a complete loss; they obtained nothing.

“The White-Clad Mad Demon received the inheritance?”

“It seems like he did and he did not. The Faux God Flame is indeed missing. However, there are no changes in his body. Nevertheless, the Faux God Might has disappeared. It is strange.”

“How unlucky! To think that even the Soul Tools disappeared! This trip is a complete loss.”

“Hahahahahaha!”

Just at this moment, someone suddenly started laughing madly. It was the Iron Horn Pirate Group’s Yan Zhe.

Yan Zhe laughed nonstop like he had gone crazy. Everyone looked at him strangely, not understanding what was going on.

However, Yan Zhe continued laughing. He pointed at Xiao Chen and said, “Hahaha! That brat could not receive the inheritance. He only put away the Faux God Flame. Look, he has no Dragon Might or Faux God Might now. He is so weak that he is insignificant.”

The expressions of the others changed greatly. They focused their Mental Energy on Xiao Chen and revealed smiles.

“Haha! It’s true! He did not receive the inheritance. His will of soul did not change at all.”

“Kill him!”

“Kill him!”

Upon seeing such a change in the situation and that the Faux God Flame went missing from the stone pillar, those listless Holy Venerates regained their spirits.

Those Holy Venerates looked at Xiao Chen like ravening wolves staring at a lamb.

Right now, Xiao Chen had many valuable treasures on him. He was undeniably a fat lamb.

Suddenly, the situation changed again.

Yan Zhe, who was like a walking corpse earlier, immediately came back to life. His eyes gleamed brightly like a wild beast’s.

“Whoosh!”

Yan Zhe took the lead in charging towards Xiao Chen, wanting to take Xiao Chen down and vent his hatred.

Xiao Chen’s expression remained calm while he was on the stone pillar. He did not feel down despite not obtaining the inheritance for himself.

Before climbing onto the stone pillar, he had proven his Dao heart. To him, that was something even more precious than the inheritance.

[TL Note: In Chinese, the Dao refers to the path or the way. This can refer to many things, like one’s path in life or like the way of heaven.]

If he could receive the inheritance, it would be for the best. If he could not obtain it, it did not matter, either.

Xiao Chen had proven his Dao heart and stepped past his mental barrier. Nothing else was more worthwhile.

“You really are my good big brother!”

Seeing Yan Zhe leading the charge, Xiao Chen showed a mocking smile.

Xiao Chen grasped the Scarlet Blood War Banner with both hands, and with a thought, a black-and-white Taiji diagram manifested around him, the fleeting lights flashing in the surroundings. Various scenes kept appearing.

The Taiji diagram spun without pause, and the vast Demonic Qi Veritable Essence Energy and Spiritual Energy Veritable Essence Energy in his 9-Star Primal Core circulated wildly.

Xiao Chen’s aura soared continuously, appearing endless.

“This is… He is going to make a breakthrough!”

Xiao Chen’s hair fluttered, and his aura flourished infinitely. Anyone with eyes could see that something was off.

That was right. After absorbing the Demonic Qi that had accumulated for more than one thousand years at Blood Spirit Island, Xiao Chen could make a breakthrough at any moment.

His cultivation at the Major Primal Core Realm had already accumulated to a terrifying level. His foundation was so firm that it was appalling.

The moment Xiao Chen broke through, his strength would erupt.

“Boom!”

In that instant, Xiao Chen’s aura soared multiple times. He managed to break through the shackles of the Major Primal Core Realm and advance to the Starry Sky Stage Cloud Sea Realm.

However, Xiao Chen’s aura continued to flourish as he advanced directly to the peak early-stage Starry Sky Stage.

However, Xiao Chen’s aura was much stronger than those late-stage Star Venerate true inheritors.

“Scram!”

Feeling his entire body brimming with energy and his strength soaring remarkably, Xiao Chen ferociously swung the Scarlet Blood War Banner when his aura reached its peak.

“Boom!” Before Xiao Chen swung the war banner, he had infused his irresistible Veritable Essence Energy into it.

He slammed back Yan Zhe, who had not expected such a development, once more, causing him to vomit blood.

“Hahaha! So what if you made a breakthrough. There are so many Holy Venerates here. In the end, you still cannot escape death. Xiao Chen, you will definitely die!”

Although Yan Zhe had been blasted away by Xiao Chen, he seemed to have gone crazy, laughing endlessly as he looked at Xiao Chen.

Yan Zhe was right. Xiao Chen’s cultivation could go only so far.

Even if Xiao Chen could bring out one hundred twenty percent of his strength, he would be able to block only one Holy Venerate.

However, there were at least ten Holy Venerates here.

Aside from Yan Zhe, who was slightly weaker, the other Holy Venerates were Demonic Dao sect Elders or 7-Star pirate group captains.

No matter how one looked at it, Xiao Chen had no way of successfully breaking out.

“With effort, one can achieve anything. All I have to do is my best. There is no need for you to care about my life and death. Thank you for your curses.”

Xiao Chen already looked past all these. His figure trembled slightly, and he suddenly transformed into a three-kilometer-tall giant.

Xiao Chen had instantly executed Dharmic World.

Using the undefeatable might of Dharmic World, he swung the war banner and knocked back the many Holy Venerates like sandbags.

He raised his feet and immediately stepped across hundreds of stone pillars.

Xiao Chen charged out of the Holy Venerates’ encirclement and dashed forward.

“After him!”

The Holy Venerates who were knocked away had not suffered much harm. They knew that this was a Secret Technique and that Xiao Chen could not last for long.

All of the Holy Venerates used their Holy Venerate Wills to resist the Faux God Might that was ever-present in the sky, speeding along in pursuit of Xiao Chen.

While giving chase, the Holy Venerates used their various means of attack, bringing them all out without reserve.

The means of Holy Venerates were naturally horrifying. Even if Xiao Chen had turned into a giant using Dharmic World, it was hard for him to avoid injury.

“Pu ci!”

When Xiao Chen’s figure reverted, he opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood. Then, he knelt on one knee.

His face appeared pale. He had pushed himself too hard.

Holy Venerates were scarier than Xiao Chen had imagined. If there were only two or three of them, it would be really easy to escape.

However, there were simply too many Holy Venerates behind him. Some of the strong top true inheritors were not easy to deal with, either.

“Brat! Let’s see what other means you have!”

When the people giving chase saw Xiao Chen fall to the ground in a somewhat sorry state, they all started laughing, their confidence boosted.

“Capture him. We have to cut him up into a thousand pieces and extract his soul, brutally torturing him!”

“After killing so many people of our three great Demonic Dao sects, we cannot possibly let him die so easily!”

“Hahaha! You have your today as well. I can only say that you are unlucky and cannot enjoy such good fortune!”

When the many Holy Venerates saw Xiao Chen’s current predicament, they all felt delighted.

This was especially so for Yan Zhe. He felt a comfortable feeling in his entire body. Seeing Xiao Chen in such a sorry state made him even happier than if he had obtained the Faux God Flame.

By relying on such a sick mentality, Yan Zhe charged to the front once more.

“Who dares to hurt my big brother?!”

Just at this moment, a loud shout suddenly rang out in the surroundings.

The sound was like thunder, shaking even the heavens. When this loud shout rang out, the tens of thousands of stone pillars quaked.

Even the Faux God Might shuddered, surging like waves.

The many Holy Venerates in relentless pursuit paused, reined in by the explosive shock.

When they looked up, there was a piercing silver light in the distance. It was resplendent and dazzling; no one could look at it directly.

That was a Dao Might, a pure Saber Dao’s Dao Might, one that was much stronger than Xiao Chen’s.

A person in the silver light pointed ferociously with his saber.

A boundless saber intent turned into a strong gale filling the place, surging over in an instant. It was like a large army and also like the towering waves in the sea rushing over.

However, when the silver light flashed, that person spread his arms out like a Roc and flew over.

In the blink of an eye, that person flew to the leading front of the saber move. He was like the sharpest blade in the world. He seemed to slice apart the Faux God Might in the air like it was a piece of cloth, instantly charging over.

“Acting all mysterious. No one can save him today.”

Yan Zhe, who was already at the vanguard, snorted coldly without stopping. Then, he continued flying to the stone pillar where Xiao Chen was.

“You are seeking death!”

Yan Zhe only saw the silver light flash, and that terrifying saber move disappeared with the silver light.

When the silver light appeared again, that person was above Yan Zhe’s head, and the saber intent in the air exploded.

The saber light landed and instantly cut Yan Zhe in half. Then, his head separated from his body, showing no signs of life.

“Dang!”

Yan Zhe’s mutilated body landed on the stone pillar, cracking the pillar’s surface.

When Xiao Chen saw that person, his eyes widened with heavy surprise. He nearly spewed out vulgarities.

He simply could not believe his eyes.
