Chapter 1839 (Raw 1850): Death from Misfortune
After those Demonic Dao sect Elders recognized the little monk Yan Chen, they immediately scattered without even a second thought.
It looked like they were determined not to fight with this person.
With this little monk’s Movement Technique and his horrifying Saber Dao cultivation, they had no way to surround him at all.
The only advantage those people had was their Holy Venerate Will. However, Yan Chen’s Buddhist Might resisted most of them, giving them the feeling that they could not lay their hands on him.
Although the other side had numbers, they could not truly cooperate. Instead, they ended up interfering with each other.
Right now, those Demonic Dao sect Elders already gave up on monopolizing the treasures on Xiao Chen. They were only hoping that the Sovereign Personages of their sects would arrive soon.
Only the suppressive strength of Sovereign Personages could deal with this little monk.
“It turns out that not a single one of them can fight.”
Yan Chen’s lips curled up in a smile. Then, he turned around and leaped over to Xiao Chen.
Yan Chen had refined facial features and wore monk robes. However, he had yet to gain a charming look, appearing rather young and tender. It was such a little monk that was called the Little Demonic Monk, Silver Saber.
“Hahaha! Big Brother Xiao, I told you before. I am an expert. Monks do not lie!”
As Yan Chen held his Buddhist monk’s knife, he flew past many stone pillars. The Buddhist Might that he gave off had not scattered yet, and he landed heavily.
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.
“Boom!”
However, suddenly, something strange happened. The instant the little monk landed, the stone pillar under him crumbled, sending him falling towards the deep abyss.
“Big Brother, save me!”
Everything happened in an instant. Neither Xiao Chen nor Yan Chen had time to react.
Anyone, including the Holy Venerates, would definitely die once they fell.
The strong gravity of the deep abyss was not something an ordinary person could endure.
The many experts who fell into the abyss all died without exception. Xiao Chen’s expression changed greatly.
He immediately leaped to the edge.
Xiao Chen found the little monk clinging to a hole in the stone pillar. Occasionally, shattered rocks fell past the little monk, narrowly missing him. The echoes of those rocks only came a long time after.
The little monk tried to pull himself up, but it felt like there were mountains on his back. He could not raise himself at all.
Upon seeing Xiao Chen poke out his head over the edge, the little monk urged, “Quick! Quick! Quick! Help pull me up! I can’t hold on much longer! This place is too weird. Once you fall down the stone pillar, you can’t use your strength!”
The little monk’s bald head looked exceptionally eye-catching in the dark. Just a minute ago, he was slaughtering the people around. One minute later, he was in such dire straits.
Born with a body of misfortune. This was indeed true.
Xiao Chen laughed hoarsely and stretched out his hand. “Come on up, then.”
“Coming!”
“Damn…!”
Who knew, when the little monk grabbed his hand, Xiao Chen felt a strong pull. It was so sudden that he could not react at all.
Yan Chen directly dragged Xiao Chen’s body down.
“Boom!”
In the time it took for a spark to fly, Xiao Chen shot out his hand and snagged a hole in the stone pillar.
However, the little monk had firmly latched on to Xiao Chen’s other arm. Xiao Chen felt that his arm would be ripped off by the pull from the little monk’s body.
Xiao Chen finally felt for himself what Yan Chen described.
After falling off the stone pillar, it was a completely different world. Xiao Chen could not bring out his strength under the pull of the gravity.
He could not even circulate his Veritable Essence Energy normally. He could rely on only his Vital Qi and bitterly hold on.
If it were just Xiao Chen alone, he could circulate all his Vital Qi, and he should be able to pull himself up. However, with the little monk dragging him down, he felt quite weak.
The little monk clung to Xiao Chen’s arm as he said bitterly, “Big Brother, don’t ever let go.”
Xiao Chen felt angry in his heart. However, when he looked at the little monk’s face and remembered that nickname that scared everyone off, he ended laughing from frustration.
If I die, so be it. After all, if the little monk had not come, I would have found it hard to escape death anyway.
It was just that Xiao Chen had been about to get out of the situation already, but this happened. This was truly upsetting. No wonder those people ran away. With such misfortune, who would not be afraid? Not only would opponents be afraid, but so would friends.
“Don’t worry. I won’t let go. Just keep hanging there. When I run out of strength, we will just fall together.” Xiao Chen smiled somewhat helplessly.
Yan Chen grumbled depressedly, “Why am I so unlucky? When Holy Venerates see me, they all run away. How come…”
Xiao Chen smiled. “Stop complaining. Think of an idea.”
Complaining had never been the way to solve problems. Placed in a predicament, Xiao Chen felt shocked for a while. Then, he started to think calmly of ways to get out of this predicament.
Xiao Chen continuously analyzed the situation before him, thinking about why this happened.
When he leaped between stone pillars, the gravity was not so scary. Why was it like two completely different worlds when they got off the stone pillars?
After he thought about it, there was only one possibility.
In this vast space, the many stone pillars might be supporting an invisible barrier.
The boundary of the barrier was the top of the stone pillar. Once one went below, one would no longer be subject to the effects of the barrier.
Aside from having to endure the pressure from the Faux God Might, one would face the original gravity of this place.
“Big Brother, I feel that thing might not be gravity. It is Heart Force. I once heard Master speak of it. Before the Kāśyapa Buddha became a Buddha, he managed to cultivate Heart Force. The energy of the heart is boundlessly ethereal and extremely profound. Not just anyone can comprehend it.”
Confused, Xiao Chen parroted, “Heart Force?”
Actually, Xiao Chen had noticed something much earlier. While the gravity was horrifying, it should not affect a person’s Veritable Essence Energy.
At the very least, it should not prevent a person from bringing out their strength.
Furthermore, this place happened to be the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s heart. It might really be Heart Force.
However, what exactly was Heart Force? Xiao Chen had never heard of it before. “Is there any way of breaking it?”
“No,” the little monk replied bluntly.
Xiao Chen was speechless. After the little monk said so much, it turned out to be pointless.
Oh no, my arm feels like it is about to break. The pull from the little monk is growing increasingly stronger. If this continues, my arm will get torn off sooner or later.
At that time, although Xiao Chen could save himself by cutting his arm off, the little monk would definitely die.
With Xiao Chen’s physical body and cultivation, as well as his resources, regrowing an arm would be nothing.
Cutting off his arm to save himself was indeed a pretty good method for him to escape this predicament.
“Big Brother, I think I should just let go. One person dying is better than two.”
The little monk sensed Xiao Chen’s physical state. Now, he looked past this already and also felt somewhat guilty.
In the end, it was he who had implicated Big Brother Xiao.
“There’s no need!”
Xiao Chen directly let go. The little monk screamed, and the two fell.
The two dropped like lead balls. The strong wind rushed by their ears as they plunged even faster.
Those who fell to their death and got smashed into a mush ended up like that because their physical bodies were not strong enough.
With Xiao Chen’s physical body, he could let go and gamble on surviving.
Right now, all of his bones were already foundational-level dragon bones. His veins had already turned into dragon veins. Even though he could not circulate his Veritable Essence Energy, his Vital Qi could gush about in his dragon veins.
Xiao Chen immediately brought out his Divine Dragon War Body, and a heavy Dragon Might spread all over him.
The Dragon Might formed an invisible Divine Dragon armor protecting his physical body.
Xiao Chen spun around twice, which accelerated his speed of descent. He had done so to put the little monk on his back.
The whistle of the wind grew increasingly louder. The wind was already like knives. It cut into the body so painfully that he wanted to scream.
Unfortunately, even moving the mouth right now was extremely difficult.
“Bang!”
After some time, Xiao Chen landed on his feet. The huge rebound flung the little monk away.
“Pu ci!” Blood spurted out of Xiao Chen’s mouth, his internal organs all rupturing on the spot.
A mouthful of blood containing pieces of Xiao Chen’s liver splattered the ground.

Cracks appeared in Xiao Chen’s bones, continuously spreading out.
The fractures continued to expand. Just as the dragon bones all over Xiao Chen’s body looked like they would crumble completely, the breakage came to a halt.
The cracks stopped spreading.
“This is good.”
Xiao Chen released his bated breath in a long sigh. He had already landed, and his bones did not shatter. This was a piece of fortune amid the misfortune.
As long as he had some time to rest, he would be able to recover from this with the recovery ability of the Azure Dragon bloodline in his marrows.
Even if all of Xiao Chen’s internal organs were shattered and his mind was shaken, recovery was just a matter of time.
“Hahaha! Big Brother, I’m fine! To think that nothing happened to me at all! I only feel like the wind got knocked out of me. I’m completely fine!”
Before Xiao Chen could say anything, he saw the little monk rushing over to him, excited over his escape from death.
Xiao Chen immediately paled in fright. He quickly said, “Don’t! Don’t! Don’t! Don’t get close to me—”
“Pa!”
However, before Xiao Chen could finish, the excited little monk patted his hand hard on Xiao Chen’s shoulder.
“Crack! Crack!”
Xiao Chen’s bones, which were just shy of crumbling, shattered with the little monk’s pat.
All the bones in Xiao Chen’s body shattered, his dragon bones damaged.

He vomited a mouthful of blood and fainted from the pain.
As the scene before Xiao Chen’s eyes darkened, he had only one thought: I died from misfortune. One really can die from bad luck…
