<h4>Chapter 1775 (Raw 1787): Attempted Assassination along the Way</h4>


    The three blessednds of the Grave Sea—the Heavenly Shaking Mountain, the ck Cave Mountain, and the Pot Mountain—were not far from each other.


    However, if one did not use a special vehicle, oceanic beast, or a transportation formation, traveling from one to another would normally take seven or eight days.


    Xiao Chen was not slow,parable to those Star Venerates who did not cultivate special Movement Techniques. He required only four days to reach the Pot Mountain blessednd.


    Half a day after leaving the Purple me Sect, he exited the ck Cave Mountain.


    When seen from outside, above the vast sea, the ck Cave Mountain was shrouded in boundless fog, with only the silhouette of a mountain range visible.


    If one was not a ck Cave Mountain sect disciple, one would find it difficult to traverse the fog and enter the blessednd.


    This was why the three blessednds were shrouded in ayer of mystery in the Grave Sea.


    Naturally, the people who had been in the blessednds before would not have such a feeling.


    For example, before Xiao Chen entered the blessednd, he had also been full of curiosity, revering it.


    Now, he had been in and out a few times, and the younger generation in the three blessednds was no longer his match.


    While in Dragon me City, Xiao Chen had challenged everyone there and experienced something of a much higher level.


    Hence, when he looked at the blessednds of the Grave Sea now, he felt that they were merely so-so.


    “Someone is following me?”


    Soon after leaving the ck Cave Mountain, Xiao Chen noticed something strange: an indistinct strand of hidden killing Qi. It was almost indiscernible.


    The one following Xiao Chen might be a Star Venerate with deep umtions.


    This person is extraordinary!


    Who can make such a big move?


    After Xiao Chen thought about it, he concluded that it could only be the Divine Firmament Sect.


    Xiao Chen’s repeatedly defeating Shangguan Lei, suppressing him, was a huge blow to the Divine Firmament Sect.


    The Divine Firmament Sect spent vast amounts of resources on Shangguan Lei. They even secretly promoted his poprity, practically making him a spiritual symbol of the Divine Firmament Sect’s youths.


    Over the years, the Divine Firmament Sect had created an image of invincibility among the same generation, a tyrannical image.


    However, Shangguan Lei lost to Xiao Chen twice, the second time worse than first. A Rank 4 sect simply could not ept such humiliating results.


    Even the ordinary disciples would not be able to bear it. After all, the sect spent a fortune in resources on Shangguan Lei.


    Due to Xiao Chen, not only did the many resources that the Divine Firmament Sect spent all go to waste, but the Divine Firmament Sect also received a ruthless p.


    How could this be tolerated?


    Without any change in expression, Xiao Chen continued rushing forward on the sea. He gently pushed with his feet and moved quickly.


    Since the other party already decided to make a move, he had to be fully confident.


    After all, the price of failure would be extremely high.


    Xiao Chen was reluctant to fight a pointless battle. He executed his Movement Technique, and a faint purple me burned around his body as he flew as swift as a phantom.


    “You want to flee?! How can it be so easy?”


    “Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”


    Upon seeing Xiao Chen increase his speed, that hidden person revealed himself and quickly gave chase.


    Xiao Chen turned his head back and looked. He saw that person behind bathed in electric light.


    That person moved at lightning speed, kicking up huge waves and traveling fifty kilometers in an instant.


    It was indeed a person from the Divine Firmament Sect.


    Xiao Chen thought to himself, This isn’t good. The Divine Firmament Sect’s Movement Technique was famous for explosive bursts of speed.


    Like a bolt of lightning, electricity flickered; then, that person appeared as if he teleported.


    Rumbling rang out endlessly. Towering waves continuously surged up.


    Boundless thunderclouds spread quickly in the sky above, looming closer to Xiao Chen.


    Xiao Chen executed the Fish Dragon Art to its limits. As he stuck close to the sea surface, he moved like a fish in water, using the surging sea waves to try to increase the distance.


    However, the old man behind did not care about the drain on his Veritable Essence Energy at all.


    Clearly, the old man came prepared, with many Medicinal Pills to support him, not stingy in consuming them at all.


    After half a day, Xiao Chen saw that the sky above him was already covered with thunderclouds.


    He sighed softly and stopped dashing forward.


    Xiao Chen closed his eyes as he stood on the sea surface, bobbing along with the waves.


    He waited quietly for the enemy to arrive, storing up power.


    A lightning bolt shed, and an aura locked down on Xiao Chen’s surroundings. Thunder followed closely, booming throughout the surrounding five kilometers and churning the thunderclouds.


    “Brat, why aren’t you running anymore?” that old man shouted coldly at Xiao Chen. He wore the uniform of a Divine Firmament Sect Elder, and the tyrannical Thunder Might in his eyes seemed palpable as he made a stern expression.


    “The thunderclouds already arrived. Senior’s Thunder Domain already caught up. There was no point in continuing to run.”


    Xiao Chen did not open his eyes. His expression remained calm without any fluctuations at all.


    “You are rather wise. I think you should know why I am here. Sometimes, when helping another, it is very easy to get used as a tool, bing cannon fodder. Don’t me this old man for bullying the young. If you want to me someone, me yourself for helping the Purple me Sect!” the old man said coldly.


    Then, the old man raised his hand and gathered countless lightning bolts. Thunderclouds churned in the sky, hiding all sorts of mysterious phenomena, waiting to unleash them.


    “Die!”


    The old man did not underestimate Xiao Chen at all. The moment he attacked, heunched a powerful technique.


    Xiao Chen saw the countless mysterious phenomena hidden in the thick thunderclouds in the sky gather into an ancient lightning pce pressing down on himself.


    Formedpletely of pure lightning-attributed Veritable Essence Energy, that pce contained the old man’s will of soul and Thunder Domain.


    A heavy and ancient aura spread out. This pce had to be replicating a certain building from the Ancient Era, something extremely ancient.


    It’s really strong!


    Xiao Chen felt startled in his heart. This old man’s cultivation was not very high, just about peak early-stage Starry Sky Stage.


    However, this old man must have had this cultivation for at least one hundred years. Furthermore, as a Rank 4 sect Elder, he possessed deep umtions.


    This was not a person that a fresh Star Venerate or a regr Star Venerate could resist.


    No wonder the Divine Firmament Sect sent only this one person. They were confident of killing Xiao Chen.


    If not for that Dragon Blood Pill digging out the ancient power hidden in Xiao Chen’s bloodline, reconstructing his Veritable Essence Energy and Vital Qi, just this move alone would kill him.


    As the ancient lightning pce descended, Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes.


    A brilliant light flickered in them. The two hundred six dragon bones in his body gave off explosive sounds.


    The explosive sounds and the rushing of Xiao Chen’s blood merged into one, allowing his aura to reach its peak right then and there.


    Xiao Chen punched, and fifteen ancient dragon cauldrons shining with azure light appeared above his head. The cauldrons banged against each other loudly.


    The ngor kicked up towering waves. Thousands of water pirs surged up from the sea.


    Each water pir looked like a huge dragon bursting out of the sea. In that instant, this mysterious phenomenonpletely suppressed the tyrannical aura of the lightning pce.


    “Boom!”


    In the time it took for a spark to fly, Xiao Chen’s fist light shot out. The lightning pce, which the old man thought that would definitely suppress and kill Xiao Chen, showed small cracks.


    One punch containing fifteen Cauldron Force caused the entire sea to sink.


    Wait, that’s not right. It did not shatter.


    Xiao Chen’s heart skipped a beat as he sensed something wrong. Although there were cracks in the lightning pce, it did not show any signs of disintegrating.


    The force was clearly sufficient. Why did it not break?


    The old man revealed a surprised expression. After looking nk for a moment, he said, “Your strength is really shocking. However, in the end, you are not a Star Venerate. Even if you possess the will of soul, you are unable to use it as I can.”


    Will of soul!


    No wonder. So that is the reason.


    The core of this lightning pce was the old man’s will of soul, which he had tempered several times. If the will of soul was not extinguished, it would be impossible to break this move.


    “Rumble...!”


    The lightning pce pressed down once more, and Xiao Chen felt enormous pressure again.


    However, Xiao Chen did not get flustered. His eyes lit up in an expression of understanding.


    So, that is how to use the will of soul. This is indeed a great eye-opener.


    Saber!


    Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and unsheathed the Tyrant Saber. A swastika appeared on his forehead, and his body emitted a Buddhist light. Then, he instantly executed Resolving the Mundane, revealing an eternally inextinguishable saber light.


    This chopped the descending pce in half. The electric light scattered, leaving a bright flickering mark.


    That was the old man’s will of soul.


    Break! Xiao Chen did not stop moving. His own will of soul shot out from his sea of consciousness in one instant.


    The two wills of soul shed, erupting with a terrifying energy shock wave that sent both Xiao Chen and the old man flying.


    Above the sea waves, the two radiated terrifying auras.


    Xiao Chen felt very satisfied. His reconstructed Veritable Essence Energy was indeed extraordinary.


    It even increased the might of Resolving the Mundane explosively.


    Xiao Chen managed to break that lightning pce with one saber strike.


    The old man was shocked. He simply had not expected Xiao Chen’s Veritable Essence Energy and will of soul to be this strong, not much weaker than his.


    Xiao Chen’s only weakness was his usage of the will of soul.


    Damn it!


    However, that is all. Xiao Chen is still not strong enough.


    No matter what, he has not broken through to the Cloud Sea Realm and is still a distance from me.


    “Whoosh!”


    However, as the old man was about to continue attacking, a saber light shed down from the sky.


    That saber light appeared without any warning, chopping the old man in half. The old man could not resist at all.


    A horrifying Saber Might spread into the surroundings.


    Xiao Chen’s heart sank. The neer was a horrifying existence that was at least ate-stage Star Venerate. Who is it?
