Chapter 1835 (Raw 1846): Legend of the Scarlet Blood Pirate King

During the last moments of the Great Desolate Eon bloodline’s power, Xiao Chen had used the vast Dragon Might and turned it into the sevenfold killing Qi, killing all the true inheritors and Star Venerate experts that came to kill him, destroying their physical bodies and souls.

Such a cruel method of killing pulled out the demonic nature in Xiao Chen’s body uncontrollably. As his hair fluttered, he exuded a horrifying Demonic Might.

Even without the ancient Dragon Might, no one dared to underestimate this Demonic Might.

When the many Demonic Dao experts looked at the current Xiao Chen, none of them would dare to say that their Demonic Might was stronger than Xiao Chen’s.

Yan Zhe’s expression changed. He gaped at Xiao Chen in shock and exclaimed, “You fell into the Demonic Dao!”

Yan Zhe recalled that when he first saw Xiao Chen, there was not even a trace of a demonic nature in Xiao Chen’s body.

Xiao Chen had been cultivating a Cultivation Technique of the Righteous Dao and absorbed Spiritual Energy. He also had an upright and frank air.

However, at this moment, Xiao Chen’s demonic nature was very clear. His eyes looked like the eyes of a Great Desolate Eon ferocious beast.

These were eyes like the Yazi Beast’s. The demonic nature that his body exuded was the result of the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation transforming his physical body and bloodline.

It was hard for Yan Zhe not to feel shocked.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly. With this smile, the powerful Demonic Might immediately disappeared.

A swastika shining with golden light appeared at Xiao Chen’s forehead, and his entire body became bathed in a gentle Buddhist light. The light that his body absorbed from the Mahe?vara Buddha’s ?arīra spread out slowly. He became a Buddha with a smile like the spring wind blowing.

“Tell me, am I a Buddha or a demon?!” Xiao Chen said as he smiled faintly at Yan Zhe.

“What pure Buddhist light! This... How is this possible?!”

Yan Zhe was shocked, and his expression changed drastically. His eyes filled with disbelief.

The Holy Venerate experts and top true inheritors of the Demonic Dao sects on the various stone pillars all goggled at Xiao Chen, stunned.

They had never seen a person display two entirely different kinds of auras.

Furthermore, the two kinds of auras were incredibly pure and of completely opposing Dao.

“This fellow actually dual cultivates the Buddhist Dao and the Demonic Dao. That is really bold and arrogant. He will go crazy sooner or later.”

“Since ancient times, righteousness and evil stood on opposing ends. All who dared to dual cultivate Buddhism and the Demonic Dao came to bad ends. There has not been any exception since ancient times. Sooner or later, you will not be able to recover from this.”

“That’s right. There is no place for you in the Righteous Dao, and the Demonic Dao will not accept you, either. There will be no place for you in this world. You are destined to live a life of calamity.”

It seemed like the sight of Xiao Chen’s Demonic Might disappearing and Buddhist light appearing had touched a nerve with these people.

The various older-generation experts started scolding and cursing.

Xiao Chen laughed loudly. As he laughed without restraint, the Buddhist light coming from him disappeared, and the Buddhist mark on his forehead vanished.

All the saber intent of his entire body gathered together and soared, contesting with the Faux God Might that was everywhere.

“Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!”

Melodious saber hums echoed everywhere in the vast space. That was a pure saber intent that was carefree and unbridled.

Xiao Chen laughed loudly and said, “I am not an Immortal, a demon, or a Buddha. I am the white-clad Xiao Chen. My initial heart has never changed; my character remains the same. I look at flowers in tears, and the flowers tear up as well. I look at the moon with sorrow, and the moon also feels sorrow. Divine, Buddha, Immortal, or demon, they are all merely pretentious ideas.

“The heart has every manifestation of nature. Hence, the world also has every manifestation of nature. You see me numbed to killing and take me as a White Clad Mad Demon; others see me as untainted and incorruptible, calling me the White Robed Bladesman. However, I am just me in the end. What do your opinions of me have to do with me?”

At this moment, Xiao Chen did not give off any Demonic Might or Buddhist light. There was only a pure saber intent, a pride that came from following his heart.

These words stunned the many people around, deeply moving their hearts.

The voices scolding and cursing Xiao Chen came to a stop. None of them could say anything.

After a long time, Yan Zhe startled awake. As he looked at Xiao Chen, he said, “What exactly do you want? With your strength, you cannot obtain the Faux God Flame. Why are you doing this, offending all of us?”

“That’s right. If you are willing, this place is filled with Soul Tools. As long as you are willing to hand over the Faux God Flame, we will work together and help you break the restrictions on the Soul Tools. Why the need to be so stubborn?”

After Yan Zhe spoke, another Holy Venerate chimed in.

At this moment, the Silver Fox Holy Venerate said, “Junior, we are in the wrong for wanting to place restrictions in your body earlier. We can forgive you for killing our subordinates. As long as you are willing to take out the Faux God Flame for us, we can fulfill one of your requests as well.”

Many voices immediately chimed in. The various Holy Venerates all declared that as long as Xiao Chen was willing, they could forget the past and work together to help Xiao Chen break the restrictions on any Soul Tool that he wanted.

Xiao Chen looked at the flame giving off a divine light on the stone pillar. He remained silent for a while before saying, “The Faux God Flame belongs to anyone capable. If you all can compete for it, why can’t I? As the saying goes, if one’s obsession is not resolved, it will become a mental barrier. However, if one constantly keeps it in mind, there will eventually be a response. Senior Scarlet Blood Pirate King, am I right?!”

It was like Xiao Chen did not hear the various promises and temptations directed at him. He only stared at that Faux God Flame, looking like he was speaking to himself.

However, as if in reply to Xiao Chen, the Faux God Flame dimmed significantly.

The fluttering Scarlet Blood War Banner by Xiao Chen’s side slowly stilled, and its strong aura weakened.

No, that’s not right. This was the Faux God Flame’s reply to Xiao Chen, telling him that he was wrong.

After being stunned for a while, Xiao Chen revealed a faint smile, and his eyes and thoughts cleared up somewhat. At this moment, he recalled his obsession, seeking the moon!

After obtaining the Faux God Flame’s reply, Xiao Chen suddenly understood many things.

There were many things in the world where the more one cared about it, the tighter one held on to it, the more it would be like sand leaking through one’s fingers, escaping one’s grasp and control.

In the past, Xiao Chen kept feeling that he needed to be stronger than the outstanding talents of the Great Thousand Realms before he was worthy to meet Liu Ruyue.

Hence, his obsession could not get resolved, and he kept thinking about the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s inheritance, thinking that it was something that he needed to obtain to meet Liu Ruyue.

The more Xiao Chen cared about it, the deeper his heart demon. Even if he obtained the Faux God Flame, he would still have doubts over his strength, feeling that he was not worthy to seek out Liu Ruyue and would endlessly chase after greater strength like a demon.

If that were really the case, he might embark on a road of no return.

When Xiao Chen finally met Liu Ruyue, she might see only a familiar stranger and not him.

In the end, it would be like water slowly leaking out from his hand.

With such a blow, perhaps Xiao Chen would become like the Azure Emperor from back then, completely falling into the Demonic Dao, not recognizing his family, killing his master, killing his lover.

“This fellow is laughing in one moment and frowning in the next. Has he turned into a fool?”

“That really might be possible. It is hard to avoid some accidents when dual cultivating Buddhism and the Demonic Dao. It wouldn’t be surprising if he turned into a fool.”

“Should we take this opportunity to suppress him?”

“Right now, he seems perturbed. It would be very easy to suppress him.”

Just when everyone wondered whether Xiao Chen had gone crazy, he suddenly laughed heartily.

However, this time, his laughter was filled with joy and relief from a kind of release, a kind of gaining enlightenment and turning back from the wrong path.

While Xiao Chen laughed, he looked at the Faux God Flame and shouted, using all his Vital Qi, “My name is Scarlet Blood. I have a body of scarlet iron with burning-hot blood!”

Xiao Chen’s voice was thunderous, echoing in the surroundings.

As everyone stood there, stunned and uncertain, a resonant and even louder voice rang out in this vast space. It sounded aged, solemn, and stirring, like it had traveled through time and space. It carried a hot-bloodedness as it excitedly replied to Xiao Chen, “For half my life, I went through ups and downs, homeless and miserable; for half my life, I was peerless, traveling around without fear.”

That voice penetrated deep into the blood, bones, and soul!

The voice sounded hot-blooded and prideful. It was vast and powerful, echoing endlessly in this place.

After the voice rang out, Xiao Chen appeared extremely excited. Using the voice from his flesh and soul, he replied, “My body is like a sword, filled with a firm and unyielding pride; my heart is like the sun and the moon, shining bright for ten thousand years!”

That voice laughed and shouted, “My stature is like a mountain, spanning tens of thousands of kilometers; my eyes are like the many stars, making the sky shine bright like day instead of night!”

Suddenly, the demonic clouds in the sky gathered and turned into a gigantic hand. The Scarlet Blood Pirate King traveled through time and space, and a loud voice rang out, “I cover the sky with one hand!”

“Boom!”

Light disappeared from the world. It was so dark that no one could see their hand after stretching it out. The many Holy Venerates could not even unleash their Mental Energy.

They all turned blind, like ordinary people in the dark night. However, the words “I cover the sky with one hand” continued to echo in their ears.

No longer laughing, Xiao Chen simply grasped the Scarlet Blood War Banner beside him and replied to the voice resounding everywhere, “And establish myself an emperor with another.”

Then, he raised the Scarlet Blood War Banner to the sky. Doing so seemed to draw the Faux God Might, which then burned on his body.

Xiao Chen turned into the only source of light in this world of boundless darkness.
