Chapter 759: Pieces of the Great Roc Spreading Wings Painting
“Boom!”
A golden fist wind surged out. The intense golden energy formed by a combination of Vital Qi, Mental Energy, and Quintessence turned into a vast radiance that flashed out.
The radiance attacked the five old men without any discrimination. They each executed their best moves but could not block it at all. It shattered the Quintessence Martial Techniques with just a touch.
The five all vomited a mouthful of blood and retreated a hundred steps each, their eyes wide with incomparable horror and fear.
“Let’s go. This fellow is too demonic. We are not his match. We will make a report to the Sect Leader and get him to activate the Supreme Elders.” Unexpectedly, Xiao Chen scared the five Eternal Heavenly Sword School half-Sages into retreat.
“You think you can run? Radiance of Deities!”
Xiao Chen smiled coldly, and the deities on the others side focused their gazes on him. His body immediately gave off a bright radiance that made him especially dazzling as if he were a descended deity walking in the mortal realm.
The golden light on Xiao Chen’s fist became like a dazzling sun. When he punched, a prodigious beam of light instantly fired out.
Everywhere the beam of light passed, dust and even the air burned. Soon after, the beam of light struck the five half-Sage old men flying in the air. As though lightning-struck, they vomited blood and fell out of the sky.
Xiao Chen pulled back his fist, and the golden light on his body faded away. However, the golden light in the air lingered for a long time.
His figure flickered as he stood on an Azure Dragon image. Then, he landed another attack on each of the five old men, killing them without any expression on his face.
This scene dumbfounded Nangong Qiong, who was at the back. Earlier, she could attribute Xiao Chen’s success in killing Mo Lingtian in one move to a sneak attack.
However, this time Xiao Chen killed five half-Sages in a proper confrontation.
Although these five were weak for half-Sages, much weaker than Wu Yuankai or those demonic geniuses, they were still five half-Sages. Nevertheless, Xiao Chen killed them so casually. This ease was rather frightening.
Even if Xiao Chen had the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, he should not be this strong. After all, he was just a Superior Grade Martial Monarch. There was only one explanation: his Mental Energy surpassed ordinary people’s, was perhaps equal to that of the Deity Race geniuses.
Xiao Chen had Mental Energy equal to that of Deity Race geniuses, a vast Quintessence far beyond that of any Deity Race, and an unparalleled physical body.
The three factors combined meant the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist was simply perfect for him. He could bring out even greater power than those Deity Race geniuses could.
When Nangong Qiong thought about it, she immediately figured out the key points. The strength Xiao Chen displayed would not be any weaker than that of the Tianwu Domain’s seven giants.
After Xiao Chen exhibited the Divine Might of the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, he also entered deep thought. The Purple Thunder Divine Incantation had the effect of cultivating Mental Energy; his Mental Energy had always exceeded that of regular people.
However, most of the time, he would only use his Mental Energy as Spiritual Sense, performing an auxiliary function. Doing so was akin to burying a bright pearl in mud, completely wasting it.
Now that Xiao Chen obtained the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, the technique allowed this bright pearl to reveal its light, displaying its glory.
In the days yet to come, when the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation advanced to the seventh layer, his Mental Energy would improve further. At that time, he would learn more of the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist’s mysteries, perhaps even comprehend its latter moves sooner.
Xiao Chen retrieved the five half-Sages’ spatial rings and scanned them with his Spiritual Sense. Immediately, he counted the Astral Coins—a total of three hundred thousand Astral Coins.
It seemed that even though these five were Eternal Heavenly Sword School Elders, they were not very rich. From Wu Yuankai alone, he already obtained more than two hundred thousand Astral Coins, and this did not include those undoubtedly valuable dark gold gloves.
“Ding!”
Nangong Qiong tossed out a spatial ring. Smiling, she said, “This is Mo Lingtian’s spatial ring. I already took my thirty percent. The remaining seventy percent is yours.”
Xiao Chen casually caught the spatial ring and checked it with his Spiritual Sense. He discovered three hundred thousand Astral Coins, various Medicinal Pills, and a secret manual for Thunder Steps.
He did not know whether that girl kept her promise and took only thirty percent.
However, even if Nangong Qiong had not kept her promise, Xiao Chen could not fall out with her here. First, he did not know this girl’s bottom line. Second, she clearly understood a lot about the Star Grave Palace. After he entered it, he would need her help.
No matter what, Xiao Chen now had more than a million Astral Coins. He could now be considered wealthy, much more so than the ordinary person.
When he took in their surroundings, the previously bustling place no longer had anyone around. Without exception, the other cultivators had all entered the vast Star Grave Palace in front.
“Nangong Qiong, did you notice that when the many cultivators of the Heavenly Roc Race took advantage of the time before the Star Grave Palace landed to enter, one person did not move?” Xiao Chen asked calmly as he stared at the grave palace.
Nangong Qiong felt surprised as she replied, “Who? If someone was standing below the Star Grave Palace when it fell, they would surely have been squashed dead.”
“The Heavenly Roc Race’s Young Chief, Ming Yu!”
“Did you see wrong?”
“I definitely did not. I personally saw him standing on the altar, not flying together with the other Heavenly Roc Race cultivators.”
When Nangong Qiong heard that, her expression immediately changed. She said, “The situation is not good. I probably underestimated that person earlier. We have to rush in.”
Xiao Chen raised his hand and said, “Wait for a while. Let me refine that Sage Grade pagoda first before entering.”
He waved his hand, and an exquisite pagoda flew out from the Universe Ring. When the pagoda flew out, it immediately soared into the sky, trying to leave.
The Sage Grade pagoda had already gained some intelligence and did not want anyone to refine it.
However, how could Xiao Chen let it go? Using his strong Mental Energy, he locked down on it immediately. Then he used his Spiritual Sense to enter the core of the pagoda, erase Mo Lingtian’s imprint, and leave his own on it.
After nourishing the pagoda for a while, Xiao Chen’s imprint completely dominated the pagoda, wiping out all traces of Mo Lingtian’s aura.
With a thought, the pagoda turned into a multicolored light and entered his chest. When it merged with his flesh, no one could tell it apart. This was the ability of a Sage Grade Secret Treasure.
Nangong Qiong could not help feeling envious. This fellow’s Mental Energy was truly heaven-defying. She wondered what kind of fortuitous encounters Xiao Chen had.
A regular cultivator would typically need three to five days to refine this Sage Grade Secret Treasure. However, Xiao Chen did it so easily as if he was eating or drinking.
“Come, let’s enter the grave palace!”
After refining this pagoda, Xiao Chen had more confidence in his strength. He took the lead and flew towards the entrance of the grave palace.
A dark passageway appeared before the two. Cold Qi came from the walls on both sides, making them tremble automatically.
Xiao Chen quickly circulated his Quintessence and forced out the cold Qi. “It’s very cold. Why does it feel like we fell into an ice cave?”
Nangong Qiong carefully looked around and replied casually, “The Heavenly Roc King used a Heavenly Ice Star to make this grave palace. The Heavenly Ice Star is even colder than ice. Be careful to not let the cold Qi infiltrate your body. Otherwise, it will form a frost poison.”
After walking for a short while, Nangong Qiong stretched her hand out and pressed a spot on the wall. The wall opened up, and a grave chamber appeared before the two.
Unfortunately, aside from some simple decorations, they found nothing. There was not even the aura of any treasure.
The two continued onwards. Along the way, Nangong Qiong opened several hidden grave chambers. However, there was nothing to gain in them. Occasionally, there were pleasant surprises, but these were only small items.
After walking for some time, they started to meet more people. Nangong Qiong did not care about them and merely opened hidden grave chambers one after another in front of everyone.
This sight astounded all the onlookers, so they followed her.
Ka ca!”
Another hidden room opened, and a radiance came out from inside. Vast Emperor’s Might poured out together with the radiance, startling the many cultivators behind her.
“It’s a Great Roc Spreading Wings Painting piece!” exclaimed someone who recognized the item. The announcement created a stir.
“All of you, scram! This piece of painting is mine, Yun Feiyang. No one is to snatch it!”
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
Something knocked aside the figures at the back. A group of half-Sages wearing the Heavenly Tiger Sect uniform charged out arrogantly.
The Heavenly Tiger Sect was a group of cultivators who left the Fiend Domain’s Heavenly Tiger Race and established themselves in Hunluo Province. After a thousand years of development, they had gained a stable footing in Hunluo Province.
The sect was a huge tyrant in the vicinity of Hunluo Province, no weaker than the Eternal Heavenly Sword School. Such arrogant behavior was normal for them.
Although the human or Fiend Race cultivators were local heroes, they could barely be considered top-rate geniuses. The weakest here was a peak Superior Grade Martial Monarch; most were half-Sages.
However, no one dared to act unbridled before the Heavenly Tiger Sect’s people. These cultivators all opened up a path for them and looked at Yun Feiyang, who was leading them, with dissatisfaction.
Several of the people knocked aside by the Heavenly Tiger Sect revealed displeasure in their eyes as they said hatefully, “Wait until the Soaring Serpent Mansion’s people arrive. Let’s see if you still dare to be this arrogant or not!”
The Soaring Serpent Mansion’s people had entered from the same entrance. If nothing unexpected happened, they would soon rush over after feeling the energy fluctuations from the Great Roc Spreading Wings Painting.
At that time, if a fierce fight broke out, these bystanders might be able to fish in troubled waters, gaining a chance.
Although the Heavenly Tiger Sect’s people were powerful, the others only moved to the side, showing no intention of leaving.
Yun Feiyang was tall and strong. He wore a fur coat over his shoulders and had broad facial features. With one glance, he looked imposing. As he walked, he emanated a certain might.
“Come here!”
He opened his hand, and a suction force formed by Fiend Energy passed over Xiao Chen and Nangong Qiong, reaching into the secret chamber.
Yun Feiyang behaved arrogantly, acting without fearing any consequences. He wanted to snatch away this piece of Great Roc Spreading Wings Painting in front of the two.
Nangong Qiong placed her right hand on Xiao Chen’s shoulder, stopping him. “There is no rush. He will not be able to take away the painting piece easily. Let’s use him to diminish the energy on the painting piece first.”
The dazzling Great Roc Spreading Wings Painting piece with Emperor’s Might quickly flew towards Yun Feiyang. His grin grew wider.
“Bang!”
Just as he was about to grab the painting piece, something strange happened. The scrap gave off vast surging energy. With a loud ‘boom,’ it knocked him straight back.
“Young Master, are you alright?!”
The Heavenly Tiger Sect’s half-Sage Elders all revealed shock as they hurried over.
Yun Feiyang waved his hand and replied sullenly, “I’m fine. It looks like the energy contained in this painting piece is more than I estimated. I was too careless. I’ll just have to try again.”
“Yun Feiyang, with your abilities, you want to snatch away a painting piece? Even when given a chance, you could not grab hold of it!”
A figure quickly shot over from the top of the passageway. Then he quickly grabbed at that scrap. However, when he touched the painting piece, the same energy knocked him back explosively as well.
