Chapter 1831 (Raw 1842): Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s Inheritance
Xiao Chen happened to finish dealing with the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s will in the mask just as the cold moon shattered.
He was startled to see Yan Zhe appear at first. However, he quickly put the mask in his storage ring without showing it.
“Big Brother, you came at the right time. What is Big Brother doing here?”
Now that Xiao Chen faced Yan Zhe again, he had a plan in mind. He kept his expression calm and unchanging, merely asking indifferently.
Yan Zhe did not seem to care. He landed in front of Xiao Chen and pointed to the stone pillar in the middle. “Little Brother Xiao, do you see that stone pillar? That thing burning there is a Faux God Flame. That is where the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s inheritance is.”
The Faux God Flame.
Naturally, Xiao Chen already noticed that. Furthermore, this Faux God Flame was different from the one that he obtained in the underground dragon city.
This Faux God Flame still had an exceptionally strong lifeforce, and the flame blazed stronger, clearly filled with a divine nature.
The Faux God Flame in the underground city, on the other hand, had been greatly weakened due to having to suppress the Black Dragon King for a long time.
When Xiao Chen obtained that Faux God Flame, it had been guttering. He had received only a portion of the memories in it.
Many of the memories were vague and incomplete.
The main help that the Faux God Flame provided Xiao Chen was in allowing him to form the complete will of soul while still a Major Primal Core Venerate.
This Faux God Flame before Xiao Chen was filled with divine nature. If he could obtain it, he probably would be able to inherit all of the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s memories perfectly, the memories of a legendary Pirate King. There would be various Cultivation Techniques, Martial Techniques, experiences from battle, and everything the Scarlet Blood Pirate King had seen. This was the true inheritance of the Scarlet Blood Pirate King.
All of the treasures on the stone pillars here added together would not be as tempting as that Faux God Flame.
It was clear that these treasures would not necessarily allow one to become a strong Faux God like the Scarlet Blood Pirate King.
At best, these treasures would only help one break the shackles of the Cloud Sea Realm, becoming a Divine Vein Sovereign Emperor.
However, if one obtained the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s inheritance, one would gain all of the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s memories. One might even become the next Scarlet Blood Pirate King.
“As of now, the Elders and true inheritors of the three great Demonic Dao sects, the Silver Fox Pirate Group’s captain, and the other Holy Venerates have all rushed to that spot. However, no one can get near the stone pillar where the divine flame is.”
Regret flashed in Yan Zhe’s eyes. He and Senior Chai were the first to arrive there.
However, no matter what they did, the two could not get to the stone pillar where the divine flame was at all.
By the time the two thought of Xiao Chen, the other Holy Venerate experts and those disciples as strong as Holy Venerates had already arrived.
The initiative was lost, frustrating Yan Zhe greatly.
Right now, even if he brought Xiao Chen over, the possibility of monopolizing the Faux God Flame was nearly zero.
Yan Zhe had lost control of the situation.
If he dragged this out, the situation would be even worse for him once the Sovereign Personage experts of the three Demonic Dao sects arrived.
Right now, Yan Zhe could only make the best of the situation and bring Xiao Chen over at once.
Having a handle on Xiao Chen was Yan Zhe’s only advantage.
Although Yan Zhe did not reveal this information, Xiao Chen already guessed what happened from his words.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, Serves you right.
You acted smart and schemed against me. However, before the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s strength, it is all pointless.
This affirmed Xiao Chen’s thoughts. Before the strong, plots and schemes were all useless.
Not to mention how strong the Scarlet Blood Pirate King was when he was alive, just what he could do after he died was sufficient proof. Even overt plots would not work.
This rendered Yan Zhe, whose head was filled with schemes, helpless to do anything, depressing him.
Trying to be smart ended up a detour. If Yan Zhe had brought Xiao Chen over in the first place, he would not have been this concerned.
Now that things had come to this, it was already too late for Yan Zhe to feel regrets.
Xiao Chen looked at Yan Zhe and asked, “So, Big Brother Yan thinks that the Scarlet Blood War Banner is the key? However, without me, the Scarlet Blood War Banner is just like an ordinary war banner with no effect?”
When Yan Zhe heard this, his expression turned somewhat embarrassed. “Probably. Don’t worry. As long as you are with me, Senior Chai and I will make sure you get a satisfactory profit from the treasures that the Scarlet Blood Pirate King left behind.
“The Faux God Flame before us is unexpectedly strong. Honestly speaking, with your strength, you cannot obtain the inheritance.”
Even now, this Yan Zhe was still trying to manipulate Xiao Chen, to make Xiao Chen work willingly for him, to increase his own chances of obtaining the Faux God Flame.
If Yan Zhe had Xiao Chen’s help, with his own and Senior Chai’s strength, his own chances of obtaining the Faux God Flame were indeed the highest.
Xiao Chen’s heart was as clear as a mirror. This person before him was hypocritical and vicious. He had already figured this out long ago and naturally would not fall for it.
He said in a low voice, “Big Brother Yan, please lead the way.”
When Xiao Chen’s expression did not change, Yan Zhe rejoiced in his heart. Then, he smiled and said, “Great, it is settled, then. I’ll bring you over.”
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Using a Holy Venerate’s will of soul to resist the Faux God Might, Yan Zhe quickly brought Xiao Chen from stone pillar to stone pillar.
The speed was simply astonishing.
Some of the stone pillars they passed had people locked in intense battles, fighting for Soul Tools.
Even so, Yan Zhe’s expression did not change at all. With the temptation of a Faux God Flame before him, these Soul Tools appeared rather insipid.
Compared to the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s Faux God Flame, a Soul Tool was simply worthless.
Furthermore, it was not easy to subdue a Soul Tool. If one focused on the Soul Tools, then one could only give up on the Faux God Flame.
Hence, a very strange scene appeared. Despite ten or so Soul Tools appearing in this place, the most intense fights were between late-stage Star Venerate experts. They fought to the death and carefully worked on breaking the restrictions.
Not a single Holy Venerate participated in the fight for these Soul Tools. They all targeted the Faux God Flame.
“When I came earlier, I seemed to have sensed the aura of a Soul Tool? You snatched away a Soul Tool from that group of people?” Yan Zhe suddenly asked casually.
Xiao Chen felt startled in his heart, but his expression did not change. “Big Brother Yan must be joking. It is just a peak inherited Dao Tool. Why? Is Big Brother Yan interested? I can take it out for Big Brother Yan to check out.”
“Haha! How can that be? It was just a casual question.” Yan Zhe laughed imposingly and did not say anything more.
In reality, Yan Zhe felt that Xiao Chen managing to subdue a Soul Tool was not realistic.
Earlier, he had seen several Star Venerates working together but still facing difficulties in breaking the restrictions.
Xiao Chen was only a Major Primal Core Venerate. How could he deal with the restrictions on a Soul Tool?
Yan Zhe had just been casually probing, so he did not ask too much about it.
If it really was a Soul Tool, Yan Zhe would not hesitate to turn hostile and wrest it from Xiao Chen’s hands.
With a Soul Tool, even if Yan Zhe could bring out only ten percent of its might, his chances of obtaining the Faux God Flame would increase by a large margin.
However, he would never have imagined that Xiao Chen did indeed obtain a Soul Tool.
However, the Soul Tool in Xiao Chen’s hand was rather special. It was not a Soul Tool with a strong offense.
Back then, the Scarlet Blood Pirate King had obtained this Soul Tool by chance and had not properly investigated it, taking it for only a rather ordinary Soul Tool.
Hence, the Scarlet Blood Pirate King did not place as strong a restriction on this Soul Tool as those on the other Soul Tools, which focused on offense.
Furthermore, Xiao Chen’s Saber Dao cultivation was horrifically abnormal. With his Divine Dragon War Body, Azure Dragon bloodline, and some coincidences, he actually succeeded in breaking the restriction.
Any other person, even a Holy Venerate, would not have broken the restriction on the mask so easily.
Just having to deal with the sword intent was enough of a headache. Dealing with it when the sword intent injured the physical body was an even bigger problem.
If one was not careful, the sword intent might overcome the physical body, and one would die due to the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s restriction.
“Boom!”
Suddenly, many extremely strong auras came from in front. Even Xiao Chen could not maintain his composure.
The weakest of these auras was already scarily strong.
Without a doubt, these were Holy Venerate experts or people who achieved that level of strength. Their only target was the Faux God Flame.
Xiao Chen looked around and found that these people were in groups of three to five, each group occupying a nearby stone pillar.
No one touched the Soul Tools and the Spirit Jades on those stone pillars.
Everyone stared with fervor at the brightest stone pillar in front, their eyes locked on the blazing flame.
That was the Faux God Flame that represented the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s inheritance!
