<h4>Chapter 919: Greatest Trump Card</h4>
A name appeared in everyone’s head—the descendant of the Azure Emperor, the white-robed Xiao Chen, who was about to be conferred the Azure Dragon King.
Yan Shisi and the other two raced madly. asionally, they coughed out blood.
All three had sullen expressions on their faces. Their King Grade Secret Treasures were peak King Grade Secret Treasures. These were supposed to be their life Secret Treasures after they advanced to Martial Emperor, yet they lost them so easily.
However, the disappointment in their hearts was not limited to this. Xiao Chen’s final move had materialized the chessboard of fate, bringing out the entire universe and creating a Starry Heaven Storm.
The horrifying scene made one tremble just thinking about it. Short of a grandmaster-level Martial Sage, no one would be able to stop Xiao Chen.
“That was not a Martial Technique. I did not feel any fluctuation of Heavenly Sage Laws at all. It was definitely not a Martial Technique!”
“It was an Immortal Art. An Immortal Cultivator once visited my n. The techniques that that person executed are very simr to what Xiao Chen performed earlier. Furthermore, what Xiao Chen executed might not be an ordinary Immortal Art. It may have already reached the level of a Magic Skill.”
“Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation! Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation! This is actually his greatest trump card. Damn it! Now that we’ve lost our King Grade Secret Treasures, we are sure to lose our positions as heirs.”
The three appeared dismayed. When they thought of the consequences, they all wished that they could skin Xiao Chen alive.
Yan Shisi said coldly, “We absolutely cannot let the news that we lost our Secret Treasures leak out. We should send letters to elders that we trust and have them rush over to the Primal Chaos Domain to help us snatch our Secret Treasures back.”
“This is too horrifying. Xiao Chen is able toe up with trump card after trump card. Aside from Di Wuque and a few geniuses of the ancient races, only the older-generation cultivators would be able to suppress him.”
“It is set, then. Let’s go and look for a ce to treat our injuries.”
---
Xiao Chen did not chase after the three fleeing people. He waved the banner, and the seven Astral Pearls returned to the Astral Banner, which then went back into his body.
“It looks like my trump card of Immortal Arts is out. Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation…I wonder, what kind of trouble will it bring me?”
Xiao Chen put on the Heavenly Sea Cloak before quickly leaving this ce.
Initially, he had not intended to expose his trump card of Immortal Arts. However, these three people had peak King Grade Secret Treasures. Although they failed to overwhelm him with their Secret Treasures and he did not have to use his Immortal Arts, it would have been impossible for him to severely injure the three. He also would not have had any chance to obtain these three King Grade Secret Treasures.
In any case, this trump card of Xiao Chen’s would be public sooner orter. Since he obtained three peak King Grade Secret Treasures, the trade was worth it.
The reason Xiao Chen did not chase after the three was something that Yan Shisi had said, which made Xiao Chen suspicious. The one who had leaked his movements was actually Mister Qin.
Xiao Chen searched the spatial rings of the old men from the Heaven and Earth Sect. He found ck Astral Coins, divine materials, and Spirit Cores inrge numbers. However, he did not see the Heavenly Secret Divination Disk.
After activating the ability of the Heavenly Sea Cloak to hide himself, he traveled quickly, putting the clues together in his head and making a rough guess of what happened.
The white-robed old man from the Heaven and Earth Sect must have handed the Heavenly Secret Divination Disk to Mister Qin.
However, Mister Qin had not taken action, only leaking out Xiao Chen’s movements. This fellow was very crafty. Furthermore, he had fought Xiao Chen before.
By not taking personal action, firstly, he wanted to find people to test Xiao Chen’s strength. Secondly, he wanted to work together with even more experts to guarantee a sure-kill situation.
Xiao Chen thought about the enemies that he had. The trouble probably just started.
However, there was someone pushing things along behind the scenes. If the three Holy Masters had not dyed his King conferring ceremony by half a year, sending out a clear signal, even if these people wanted to take action, they would not dare to be so obvious about it.
The Holy Masters of the White Emperor City, Phoenix’s Passion Pce, and Divine Martial Gate are really crafty.
You don’t want to see me, Xiao Chen, sessfully conferred a King. However, I will live well and will definitely appear at the King conferring ceremony for sure.
Xiao Chen had a determined expression as he made a vow in his heart. I will just consider these people a test for my conferral of Kingship. If I cannot even pass this test, then I do not deserve the title of Azure Dragon King.
He kept flying towards the west. As dusk approached, hended casually on the summit of a mountain. Then he removed the cloak. No matter how vast his Law Energy was, he could not sustain a continuous activation of this Secret Treasure.
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and used it as a saber. Purple lightning-attributed energy flew out with a ‘whoosh’ and chopped off the top of the mountain, leaving a t and smooth tform.
Using his finger as a saber, he carved a simple stone house out of the severed mountaintop before itnded. Then, he ced the house on the tform and added some stone stools and tables, creating a simple courtyard.
Night had already fallen, and stars released their light. This was the time when the starlight was at its brightest.
With a wave of Xiao Chen’s hand, the Big Dipper Banner soared into the sky, unfurling wide.
The seven stars in the banner—Dubhe, Merak, Phecda, Megrez, Alioth, Mizar, and Alkaid—formed a glorious constetion.
The seven stars linked up with each other as light flowed into them, greedily absorbing the starlight. Seven beams descended from the sky, forming beautiful pirs of starlight connecting the sky and ground.
The scattered starlight lingered in the surroundings. The shortened mountain looked very charming at that moment, flickering with a spiritual light that was easily visible fifty kilometers away.
Xiao Chen did not fear having a high profile. He had not removed that strand of fate in his body, so his location was not a secret; this was all for his current n. He would make use of every opportunity to increase his strength, in order to st the enemies who offended him into g, one by one, in the future.
He sat down cross-legged and circted the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation. Electric light flickered, and the seventhyer of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation wildly absorbed the ambient Spiritual Energy, turning it into Law Energy and Magic Energy in his sea of consciousness at the same time.
Not enough, this is far from enough.
The speed of the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation’s seventhyer in absorbing Spiritual Energy far surpassed that of other Cultivation Techniques. However, his body also urgently needed Spiritual Energy to make up for the physical energy he had used.
Moreover, the quality of the ambient Spiritual Energy was too poor. Using the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation’s seventhyer to absorb this Spiritual Energy was overkill; a feeling of insatiable hunger was inevitable.
One hourter, Xiao Chen finished replenishing the Magic Energy and Law Energy he exhausted, so he stopped circting the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation.
Cultivating in this ce was not worth the effort. He did not want to waste this time.
“If only I had a Peak Spirit Vein, no, a Holy Spirit Vein here. My cultivation would definitely soar. Only such Spirit Veins can keep up with the current Purple Thunder Divine Incantation.”
Unfortunately, if-onlys did not exist. Xiao Chen did not continue fantasizing. With a thought, the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron, Hundred Change Tortoise Spirit Shield, Profound Yin Umbre, and three scarlet Immortal Swords appeared before him.
He pondered for a while and then brought out the Holy Beast Medallion. He sent his Spiritual Sense into it to take a look at the situation inside.
There, he found that the mutated beast images seemed more solid than they were before they were captured. They had even gained a trace of spirituality. They looked very lively and lifelike. When that Deep Sea ck Flood Dragon moved about, it even yawned.
“Could it be that this Holy Beast Medallion nourishes mutated beasts? In just half a day, these mutated beast images have clearly be slightly stronger.”
Xiao Chen rejoiced in his heart. If that was the case, then this Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron was a perfect match for the Holy Beast Medallion.
He reached out and pulled the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron over, having already removed the Lin n scion’s Spiritual Mark in the cauldron and reced it with his own before this.
Grabbing on to the cauldron, Xiao Chen connected his mind with it and tried to activate it. His Law Energy quickly drained at a visible pace.
Mutated beast images leaped out. By the time a hundred mutated beast images had emerged, they covered the entire mountain tform.
Xiao Chen discovered he had drained almost all the Law Energy in his body. He could not help being bbergasted. “The expenditure of this peak King Grade Secret Treasure is really scary when activated.”
Actually, aside from this, Xiao Chen also did not cultivate the Ten Thousand Beasts Art. So activating the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron required more Law Energy from him than it did from the Lin n scion.
If he grasped the Ten Thousand Beasts Art, given the density of his Heavenly Sage Laws, he would need only one-third of his Law Energy to bring out one hundred mutated beast images.
The Holy Beast Medallion flickered with light and sucked in these hundred mutated beast images. Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged and recovered his Law Energy before continuing to activate the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron.
After circting his energies for eight times in total, he finally had all one thousand mutated beast images in the Holy Beast Medallion for nourishing.
Xiao Chen’s eyes gleamed with extreme excitement. The effects of nourishing them for half a day were already very clear. If he nourished them for ten days to half a month, how strong would they be? The result would definitely shock the cultivators of the Lin n.
As for the remaining peak King Grade Secret Treasures, after some thought, he decided to keep the Hundred Change Tortoise Spirit Shield and melt down the Profound Yin Umbre.
Regarding the three Immortal Swords, there was not much to say about them. They were ordinary King Grade Secret Treasures that did not contain any divine material. They werepletely reliant on the essence of the original swords, so it was not at all a pity to melt them down.
The Profound Yin Umbre was made entirely of divine materials. However, it no longer had the Profound Yin True me and now had a hole in it. Xiao Chen could not be bothered to fix it, so he might as well melt it down.
He looked up at the sky, at the Big Dipper Banner above him. It was boundlessly resplendent, radiating starlight.
Xiao Chen had a n in his heart. He wanted to use the resources from melting down the King Grade Secret Treasures, as well as the wealth from the three old men of the Heaven and Earth Sect, together with his three thrones to reforge the Big Dipper Banner.
He would transform this Big Dipper Banner, turning it into something that would allow him to move about unhindered.
After making up his mind, Xiao Chen tossed the Profound Yin Umbre into the Dragon Phoenix Cauldron. Then he started to use the Lunar True me to melt it down.
The Sovereign Noble ns did notck resources. The production of this Profound Yin Umbre had used a total of eighty-one divine materials, each at least five hundred kilograms.
Xiao Chen looked at the floating Profound Yin Umbre. It would be impossible for an ordinary person who was not its master to pick it up.
The formations in the peak King Grade Secret Treasure were extremely stable. Melting the umbre down would be rather difficult if he did not use the Lunar True me, which had recently swallowed arge amount of Profound Yin True me.
“Good! The first divine material is out. Let’s see what it is.”
The Profound Yin Umbre had already burned into a ck pile. A clump of green metal separated from the pile. Xiao Chen said joyfully, “Gray Mountain Profound Copper. Based on this amount, there should be at least two hundred and fifty kilograms.”
He was very satisfied to obtain at least two hundred and fifty kilograms of the Gray Mountain Profound Copper, half of what was initially used to make the Profound Yin Umbre.
Soon, Xiao Chen isted eighty-one clumps of divine material, all of them floating in the Lunar True me.
Each clump weighed no less than two hundred and fifty kilograms. The sale of this much divine material on auction would be sufficient to obtain two or three King Grade Secret Treasures. The umtions of a Sovereign Noble n were shocking.
