Chapter 1895 (Raw 1996): Guarding against Anxiety and Impatience
Xiao Chen possessed two types of Great Dao Energy. Be it the Saber Great Dao or the Thunder Great Dao, they both were Great Dao containing vast energy.
If he was not careful, his hand might end up exploding.
The risk was huge, but since Xiao Chen chose this Secret Technique, he would not give up easily.
However, before he infused his Great Dao into his hand, he had to try executing this Firmament’s Rage first to familiarize himself with this Secret Technique.
Xiao Chen wanted to see how powerful this Firmament’s Rage that only had the first step completed was. He also wanted to see if he had made any mistakes in his practice of it.
After a while, he entered an underground room and arrived at a secret realm within Cold Moon Cave for testing Martial Techniques.
This secret realm was made from a divine nation that a Dragon Race Faux God senior left behind.
The inheritance of this nation and natural treasure no longer existed, gone with the passing of time.
The Heavenly Dragon Palace had cut up the secret realm into hundreds of pieces and left them in every core disciple’s residence, letting the underground Spirit Vein nourish them.
No matter what kind of damage the secret realm sustained, it could slowly recover.
To Xiao Chen, this was an illusionary realm that was both real and fake.
After entering the secret realm, he arrived at a mountain range with a complicated environment. There, he circulated his Veritable Essence Energy and executed his Dragon Race Secret Technique.
“Boom!”
The moment Xiao Chen executed the Secret Technique, the azure-colored dragon seal in his Soul Pool turned into motes of light and spread out from his body.
The vast Star Venerate Will soared into the sky and clouds, materialized by Firmament’s Rage as it spread out.
Xiao Chen paid serious attention to every sensation. When the Secret Technique circulated, he felt his will of soul carry the vast power of a certain Ancestor Dragon from the Great Desolate Eon.
Who dares to shoulder my rage?!
An ancient furious roar rang out in the depths of Xiao Chen’s soul. The wrath traveled through time and space, reaching him together with vast and horrifying energy.
Strain appeared on Xiao Chen’s face. He somewhat could not withstand this force. Even space trembled slightly.
Wrath spread in the world as Xiao Chen released a terrifying aura. It was like he carried the rage of the firmament.
Xiao Chen frowned heavily. That wrath roared out endlessly in the depths of his soul.
Even when he did his best to suppress it, he could not do anything.
Left without a choice, Xiao Chen could only release the Firmament’s Rage Secret Technique in advance.
“Bang!”
With a thought, Xiao Chen’s fingers turned as hard as divine materials, looking like an ancient Divine Dragon’s claw.
“Destroy then, my rage!”
Xiao Chen aimed at a rather magnificent mountain among the thousands of peaks in the surroundings. Then, he let the Great Desolate Eon Ancestor Dragon’s rage pour out.
A colossal, burning hand immediately appeared in the sky, covering half the sky above the Cold Moon Cave.
Xiao Chen felt that he could control that burning hand in the sky.
Despite sweating heavily, he could not hide his excited expression.
He found the force contained in that colossal hand somewhat terrifying, dread stirring deep in his heart.
There was no time to think. Xiao Chen arduously controlled that colossal hand and grabbed that tall peak.
Then, he pulled gently—and pulled out that tall peak.
“Ka ca!”
Xiao Chen clenched his hand slightly and crushed that peak easily, turning it into dust.
Shock waves spread out, and many peaks crumbled, annihilated.
The scene was so terrifying, it did not seem real. A shock wave swept past and blew the stunned Xiao Chen away. Only then did he startle awake.
“Cough! Cough!”
A pale Xiao Chen got up from the ground and coughed. As he stared at the distant scene of destruction, he felt somewhat aghast.
It truly was the firmament’s rage. The mountains were destroyed instantly. Only the furious roar of heaven could do this.
In reality, Xiao Chen knew that there was no heaven.
This raging power came from the Great Desolate Eon, from an ancient Great Desolate Eon Ancestor Dragon.
The Firmament’s Rage Secret Technique transcended space and time, connecting with this Ancestor Dragon that existed in the past.
The person who created this Secret Technique was indeed talented and admirable.
As of now, Xiao Chen did not know that all of the Dragon Race’s Secret Techniques were actually pieced together by later generations from incomplete secret texts found in ancient Dragon Race Remnants. They were not created by people of this time.
“I’ve only completed the first step, and it was already somewhat scarily strong. The process of controlling it is also extremely dangerous. If I was not careful and failed to control that rage, I might have hurt myself. I need to become more familiar with it first before I can execute it. Otherwise…” Xiao Chen muttered to himself as he got up, calmly analyzing the situation.
Suddenly, he felt something strange at his nose. He reached up and gently touched it, discovering blood there.
Xiao Chen gently swiped his hand in the air.
A mirror made of Veritable Essence Energy showed him his pale complexion as he bled from his facial orifices.
Xiao Chen felt a dizzy spell coming on and held his head. He stumbled and looked like he was about to fall over.
“Ka ca! Ka ca!”
Xiao Chen’s internal organs shattered, bringing on an onslaught of pain. The various aftereffects came into play, nearly taking his life.
At the crucial moment, the ancient Azure Dragon bloodline surged, and Xiao Chen’s strong recovery ability stabilized his injuries.
Xiao Chen closed his eyes, and a Buddhist swastika appeared on his forehead. Then, a gentle Buddhist light enveloped his body.
His feet slowly left the ground. His heart for Buddha activated the gentle Buddhist Might left by the Maheśvara Buddha’s śarīra.
This combined with his Dragon Race bloodline. He let his mind empty out. As he floated in the air, he looked like he was soaking in water.
After one hour, Xiao Chen opened his eyes. His complexion had recovered, looking much better now.
Secret Techniques were risky. One needed to be careful when practicing one.
Xiao Chen slowly landed and reflected. He felt that he had been in too much of a rush.
Being in a rush was taboo when practicing an extremely dangerous Secret Technique like Firmament’s Rage.
Not to mention Firmament’s Rage, this taboo actually held true for any Martial Technique or Cultivation Technique.
However, Xiao Chen’s strong physical body could withstand the rebound from failing with some Cultivation Techniques and Martial Techniques, so they were negligible.
After some reflection, Xiao Chen was no longer in a rush to practice Firmament’s Rage.
“I should stabilize my cultivation first, then. Cultivation is the foundation. When my cultivation improves, perhaps it will be easier to execute this Firmament’s Rage.”
Earlier, when Xiao Chen executed Firmament’s Rage, he found it arduous, although he managed to forcibly execute it in the end.
However, doing so might have left a hidden injury.
If Xiao Chen’s cultivation improved, he should not find it so hard. He would have a slightly easier time. He would also find the second step easier as well. At the very least, he should not end up bleeding from all his facial orifices.
After leaving the secret realm, Xiao Chen went to Cold Moon Cave’s cultivation room.
The formations in the cultivation room connected directly to the underground Spirit Vein. This was much better than in the outer world, not needing Spirit Jades when cultivating in the center of the formation.
Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged in the center of the formation, hovering in the air.
He used Spirit Jades to activate the formation. The Spiritual Energy from the underground True Dragon Grade Spirit Vein poured into his body.
“Boom!”
The vast Spiritual Energy was as dense and pure as that from a Medial Grade Spirit Jade, but the quantity was incomparable.
Xiao Chen’s body gave off a spiritual light as he sat cross-legged, gaining a gem-like glow.
Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art! Xiao Chen roared in his heart and executed the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art. The demonic cloud seed above his dantian immediately turned into a black hole that sucked up the incredibly vast Spiritual Energy flooding his entire body.
Delightful!
The demonic cloud seed flickered with a black light, making him excited and emotional.
Xiao Chen’s Cultivation Technique continuously circulated. The Spiritual Energy endlessly poured in like there was a spring. He felt that the demonic cloud seed could change at any moment; then, he would finally succeed in cultivating the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art’s first layer.
After about one hour, the appetite of this demonic cloud seed seemed to increase.
The Spiritual Energy from the Spirit Vein started to lag behind the demonic cloud seed’s absorption. Irritation came from the demonic cloud seed.
This negative emotion influenced Xiao Chen. However, he remained calm and slowly dealt with it.
This was the reason why people who cultivated demonic Cultivation Techniques had twisted personalities.
However, with Xiao Chen’s mental state, he did not have to worry too much. He could deal with the problem himself.
It is time to use the Primeval Heavenly Pills.
Xiao Chen opened his eyes. They brimmed with demonic nature.
With a casual wave, one hundred Primeval Heavenly Pills flew out of his storage ring and floated quietly in front of him.
The Primeval Heavenly Pills were refined from Spirit Jades and natural treasures. They contained vast and pure energy.
The main component of the Primeval Heavenly Pill was Spirit Jades. Hence, one could absorb this Medicinal Pill without any worries. There would not be any negative effects.
It was reasonable that this was used as a form of currency in the Great Thousand Realms.
The demonic cloud seed above Xiao Chen’s dantian was already impatient and importunate.
However, Xiao Chen remained unflustered. He opened his mouth and sucked in ten Primeval Heavenly Pills.
“Boom!”
The Medicinal Pills immediately melted upon entering Xiao Chen’s mouth. Then, vast Medicinal Energy instantly burst out, filling his body.
What pure Medicinal Energy! Xiao Chen praised in his heart. No wonder this Primeval Heavenly Pill was so precious, having a high exchange rate. It was indeed much stronger than Spirit Jades.
Absorbing one thousand Superior Grade Spirit Jades would not compare to one Primeval Heavenly Pill.
The demonic cloud seed instantly sucked in the energy and radiated delight. Like before, Xiao Chen also dealt with this elation.
This was a temptation. Oftentimes, when Demonic Dao cultivators killed and committed all sorts of evil deeds, harming innocents, they still laughed loudly, feeling extremely delighted.
This was the reason. Be it this elation or the irritation, neither should be taken in.
After Xiao Chen absorbed all one hundred Primeval Heavenly Pills, the black demonic cloud seed shone with increasingly resplendent light.
“Boom!” Then, it exploded in Xiao Chen’s body.
Demonic Qi spread out, filling Xiao Chen’s body and pouring out, flooding the entire cultivation room.
Xiao Chen succeeded in cultivating the Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art’s first layer.
