Chapter 1792 (Raw 1804): Unyielding

When the Iron Hand Yama heard Xiao Chen’s words, a grand ambition immediately flooded his heart.

Xiao Chen’s words inflamed the Iron Hand Yama’s blood, causing it to surge, and boosted his morale.

The Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s treasure was just the starting point.

In that case, how high was Xiao Chen’s goal?

In the Great Thousand Realms, these people were mere ants. The things that they saw and experienced were just the tip of the iceberg of the Great Thousand Realms.

However, Xiao Chen was different. He had inherited a Faux God Flame and seen the magnificence and vastness of this world in that senior’s memories, felt the strength of those true experts.

Picking the stars and pulling down the moon was no myth at all. To those strong experts, it was merely a minor matter.

There was the even-more-mysterious True God Realm. That was a cultivation realm that even the senior of the Faux God Flame strived toward.

Only by becoming a True God could one possess an infinite lifespan, living as long as the world, never to be destroyed.

The Iron Hand Yama performed a cupped-fist salute and said, “I’ll be entering closed-door training. I definitely will not betray Little Brother Xiao Chen’s expectations.”

Xiao Chen nodded and said, “You had built your accumulations for many years in the peak Major Primal Core Realm. Breaking through to the Starry Sky Stage proves your potential. You are no inferior to the experts of those big sects. All you lacked were fortuitous encounters and resources. What is harder to obtain is your experience in killing. Those sect experts are nowhere comparable to you in that aspect.”

Those words boosted the Iron Hand Yama’s morale further, reinvigorating him.

Originally, the Iron Hand Yama thought that he would reach only peak late-stage Star Venerate in this life, unable to go any further.

However, now that he heard Xiao Chen’s opinion, he felt enlightened, sensing that he could still advance.

The Iron Hand Yama had set his sights too low.

At the moment, Elder Tang and the Iron Hand Yama were the two strongest people on the Black Cutlass. Naturally, Xiao Chen had to nurture them properly.

As for Xiao Suo, Luo Nan, and Fei`er, Xiao Chen had made similar preparations for them.

However, these people’s cultivations were still inadequate for practicing the Cultivation Techniques in the secret manuals he had prepared.

This was especially so for Xiao Suo. Xiao Chen had the greatest expectations of him. Right now, Xiao Suo was on the verge of breaking through to the Starry Sky Stage.

Xiao Chen hoped that Xiao Suo could figure out his own Dao without needing Xiao Chen to provide assistance.

Once Xiao Suo succeeded, he could easily catch up to Elder Tang and the Iron Hand Yama. His potential would be even greater.

After some silence, Xiao Chen started thinking about his own path in the cultivation room.

Right now, he was considering forcibly breaking through to the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation’s eleventh layer.

He originally planned to smoothly break through to the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation’s eleventh layer after advancing to the Starry Sky Stage.

That way, there would not be any risks. It would be very safe.

However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was unreliable.

Since the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation’s seventh layer, every advance in layer would trigger a Lightning Tribulation.

If one safely cleared a Lightning Tribulation without any challenge, it would not improve one’s body.

Xiao Chen’s being able to surpass his potential and limits while in the Kunlun Realm definitely had something to do with the Lightning Tribulations.

Now that Xiao Chen reached the Great Thousand Realms, he had neglected his fundamentals. His own cleverness ended up misdirecting him.

“I need to advance the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation to the eleventh layer before entering the Starry Sky Stage. My Thunder Dao happens to have reached a critical juncture. If I can break through, I might be able to grasp the Thunder Great Dao,” Xiao Chen said softly.

The light in his eyes brightened like clouds parting and the sky clearing up.

Before Xiao Chen obtained the Tyrant Saber, he already had extremely high accomplishments in the Thunder Domain. After he obtained the Tyrant Saber, his comprehension of the Thunder Dao deepened further.

Several times, when using the Great Dao Energy of the Tyrant Saber’s Thunder Dao, he had gained a deeper comprehension, benefiting a lot.

Actually, Xiao Chen had a similar experience in the Kunlun Realm before.

The facts proved that one should not purposely avoid the Lightning Tribulation. If one overcame the Lightning Tribulation without any threat, smoothly clearing it, the benefits would be vastly less.

However, while this vast Ash Gray Sea appeared quiet and empty, there were a lot of dangers hidden underwater. Such dangers were unpredictable.

Finding a place to undergo the tribulation was not going to be that easy.

I should go and check out the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation first.

After collecting his thoughts, Xiao Chen entered the bottom level once more and arrived before the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation.

He sometimes wondered why Senior Gui placed such a terrifying formation on the Black Cutlass.

This formation was extremely strong, extremely strange, and extremely evil. It was somewhat hard to imagine something like it.

In fact, the entire design of the Black Cutlass revolved around the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation. No matter how one altered it in the future, it would all be within Senior Gui’s plan.

No matter how many changes there were, the Black Cutlass would not deviate from its core.

However, Xiao Chen and the Black Cutlass’s crew would not use the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation unless it was critical.

The main reason was that this formation was way too evil.

Actually, using cultivators’ flesh, blood, and soul to nourish this Immemorial Demon Soul Formation was the fastest way to light up the pearls.

However, the people of the Black Cutlass, including Xiao Chen, did not entertain such thoughts.

Should they make an exception once and enjoy the benefits, they would really cross the point of no return. That would be no different from how the people of the Demonic Dao did things.

The scarlet demonic formation was complex and profound. The scarlet light that leaped about created layers of blood mist spreading around the entire formation.

Xiao Chen had been suppressing the blood mist, which was why the blood mist had not grown to an exaggerated level. However, the incredibly evil blood mist filled with a demonic nature would cover and encase the entire Black Cutlass.

“Whoosh!”

Xiao Chen extended his hand and beckoned, drawing the formation plate at the core to his hand.

The blood mist spread on the formation’s surface immediately disappeared. The Immemorial Demon Soul Formation stopped operating, which affected the entire Black Cutlass slightly.

The various defenses weakened significantly.

A cold sensation appeared. Xiao Chen felt like his entire body had plunged into an ice cave. His body seemed to lack all warmth.

An evil aura infiltrated and spread throughout his body.

“It is significantly stronger than before.”

Xiao Chen possessed a strong will and naturally would not be influenced. With a thought, he eliminated that berserk evil aura filled with a demonic nature from his body.

He flipped the formation plate over and checked the pearls hanging around the Yazi Beast’s neck. Four and a half pearls were lit up. The image looked exceptionally terrifying.

Xiao Chen wondered how strong it would be once all eighteen pearls lit up.

The Yazi Beast looked like it would fly out at any moment. It stared ferociously at Xiao Chen, not taking him as its master at all.

Xiao Chen remained rather calm about this. No technique would work when dealing with such an evil thing.

There was no way of restraining it except for being stronger than it.

As long as Xiao Chen was stronger than it, the Yazi Beast would not be able to cause any problem.

Xiao Chen casually waved his hand, and the formation plate returned to its position. The hazy blood mist rose once more.

He entered deep thought. This blood mist that is leaking out is very evil. It contains the purest demonic nature.

It poses a great hidden danger to the Black Cutlass. The Black Cutlass has to be careful at all times to suppress it.

Would letting the Demon Blood Vulture absorb it remove this hidden danger from the Black Cutlass and strengthen the Demon Blood Vulture?

Xiao Chen waved casually, and a suction appeared in his hand, instantly absorbing a portion of the scarlet Demonic Qi.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

After a moment, Xiao Chen arrived above the pirate ship with a few flashes.

The injured Demon Blood Vulture was currently curled up, resting on the Spirit Beast Platform at the back of the Black Cutlass.

The Spirit Beast Platform looked like it was only one hundred or so square meters, but there was actually an entire world within it; it was incredibly vast.

Such a spatial formation was very expensive; maintaining it was even more expensive.

Many 6-Star pirate ships could not afford to maintain such a thing. However, Xiao Chen did not lack Spirit Jades. Since he could afford it, naturally, he did.

There were the two Cold Steel Eagles and some other ferocious beasts, which Elder Tang had tamed, in the Spirit Beast Platform. The Demon Blood Vulture had an area by itself. No ferocious beast dared to approach it.

Upon feeling Xiao Chen’s gaze, this Demon Blood Vulture opened its eyes. Still defiant, it looked back at Xiao Chen with eyes brimming with murderous intent.

“It does indeed possess a strong demonic nature. Even now, it is still thinking of how to gobble me up.” Xiao Chen smiled involuntarily when he saw it in the air.

The Demon Blood Vulture still bore the scars from the Buddhist light. Its originally beautiful scarlet feathers were dull like a wild chicken’s, dispirited and listless.

Xiao Chen waved his hand, and a scarlet light shot out. The blood mist that he absorbed from the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation entered the Demon Blood Vulture’s body.

The Demon Blood Vulture suddenly shivered, and its curled-up body opened up abruptly.

The dispirited and listless air immediately disappeared, and its injuries recovered quickly.

The scarlet feathers covering the Demon Blood Vulture’s body shone with a beautiful scarlet light. The ferocious beast appeared mysterious and noble, as well as slightly evil.

“Whoosh!”

When the Demon Blood Vulture finished absorbing the scarlet light, it soared into the air and charged at Xiao Chen.

In an instant, it burst out with Demonic Qi.

The sudden burst would have caught most people off guard. The Demon Blood Vulture would have torn a regular person into pieces in the next moment before eating him up.

Xiao Chen snorted coldly. Suddenly, his eyes released a golden light as he activated his Great Desolate Divine Eyes, and the Azure Dragon’s Dragon Might surged out from his body.

The Demon Blood Vulture’s aura was shaken, and its speed slowed significantly.

However, the Demon Blood Vulture still refused to submit. When it continued to charge forward, Xiao Chen brought out his Dao Might.

A Dao disk appeared behind him as he quickly spread out the Dao Might of his Saber Great Dao.

Hesitation flashed in the Demon Blood Vulture’s eyes, but it persisted in charging forward. It had been greatly humiliated, and it hated Xiao Chen to the bone.

After the Demon Blood Vulture’s injuries were healed, its demonic nature had immediately burst out.

“What an excellent Demon Blood Vulture! To think that you are actually rebelling!” Xiao Chen raged.

The swastika appeared on his forehead. His Dao Might, Dragon Might, and Buddhist Might merged into one, and his aura promptly peaked.

Xiao Chen punched ferociously, exploding forth with twenty Cauldron Force.

The Demon Blood Vulture suffered another setback to its aura after getting sent flying by Xiao Chen’s punch. It was already terrified of the Dragon Might, afraid of the Dao Might, and horrified by the Buddhist Might.

However, the three combined into one, and together with the twenty Cauldron Force, the punch knocked the Demon Blood Vulture into the air and sent it tumbling back.

Xiao Chen somersaulted and landed on the Demon Blood Vulture, which just stabilized itself. Then, he used his scabbard to tap its head.

The unruly fellow immediately quieted down. However, the red light in its eyes did not vanish.

“Be more obedient.”

Riding the Demon Blood Vulture, Xiao Chen explored the vicinity, searching for a suitable place to undergo his tribulation.

At the same time, he hunted for ferocious beasts to strengthen the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation further.
