novelSo-Called Trouble
| ← Ch.1819 | Ch.1821 → |
The situation would be just like when the Tyrant Saber appeared and caused everyone in the entire Fiendish Demon Battlefield to go crazy.
Now that another inherited Dao Tool appeared, there would naturally be a fight for it.
"What strong Demonic Qi! This is a mysterious phenomenon that materializes only when an inherited Dao Tool appears, " the little monk Yan Chen said as he walked over to Xiao Chen's side.
"I'll go take a look. You stay here and recuperate from your injuries."
After saying that, Xiao Chen looked in the direction of the Demonic Qi soaring into the sky.
Xiao Chen did not lack an inherited Dao Tool. The Tyrant Saber, in his hand, was already good enough.
He only wanted to see how big a storm this inherited Dao Tool would cause, how many people it would lure out.
The one hundred thousand great peaks were very vast. The disciples of the three Demonic Dao sects and the foreign cultivators were like fish in the sea.
Even if a person did not try to hide, finding them would still be extremely difficult.
Xiao Chen's primary purpose in going to the one hundred thousand great peaks for experiential training was to figure out the strength of the three Demonic Dao sects and how many experts were hidden.
The mysterious phenomenon of the nightless sky was imminent. All that had happened were just minor commotions.
Xiao Chen's thoughts had always been on the Scarlet Blood Pirate King's treasure.
Since the mysterious phenomenon of the nightless sky would appear soon, he had to figure out his competitors and know how strong they were.
The situation before him was a great opportunity.
Xiao Chen had firsthand experience of how strong an inherited Dao Tool was. Without the Tyrant Saber, he would not have comprehended the Thunder Great Dao so quickly.
Without the Tyrant Saber, he would not have been able to last so long when he fought against Star Venerates in the past.
With the might of the Tyrant Saber supporting him, he had gained the strength to fight Star Venerates as a Major Primal Core cultivator.
By activating half of the Tyrant Saber's might, he could easily force a middle-stage Star Venerate existence to retreat.
Xiao Chen had never brought out the full might of the Tyrant Saber, but he could imagine that it would be extremely horrifying.
Furthermore, his cultivation was rather low. An inherited Dao Tool would be even stronger in the hands of a Star Venerate, someone with higher cultivation.
The appearance of an inherited Dao Tool would undoubtedly attract various people to come and fight for it.
All the experts who came to the Myriad Star Mountain for experiential training would show up. Xiao Chen would be able to accomplish his goal.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
After about seven minutes, Xiao Chen landed on a rather concealed peak.
He spotted a hole in a nearby mound about fifty kilometers below, the source of the surging Demonic Qi.
Xiao Chen checked the surroundings of the mound.
Currently, two Demonic Dao cultivators were having an intense battle there.
Based on what Xiao Chen observed, he guessed that the hole in the mound was collateral damage from the shock waves from the two's fight.
When the two saw the surging Demonic Qi, they clearly were both startled.
Then, wild joy followed before the battle intensified even further. Both of them wanted to finish off their opponent quickly, snatch the Dao Tool, and leave as soon as possible.
However, the more anxious the two became, the more they could not end their fight.
Xiao Chen already sensed several experts lurking in the shadows just like him.
These people coldly eyed the two, not feeling anxious at all.
The two people on the mound, nearest to the inherited Dao Tool, were merely early-stage Star Venerates.
No matter what the two did, they would not pose any problems.
Clearly, the hidden people were all smart people. They knew that there would be no benefit in showing themselves so soon.
Everyone was waiting for when the inherited Dao Tool truly appeared.
The good show had yet to begin.
Xiao Chen closed his eyes and rested, waiting for the inherited Dao Tool to break free of its restrictions and soar into the sky.
After a while, the two Demonic Dao cultivators fighting on the mound felt that something was wrong.
The two exchanged one more move, then fled quickly.
If the two still did not leave, they would be the first to die when the Dao Tool appeared.
These two were not stupid.
Hence, a strange scene occurred. The Demonic Qi fuming from the mound clearly thickened, but the various scenes around were even scarier.
The surroundings turned quieter. Eventually, there was not even a single sound.
The calm before the storm truly made one feel strangely anxious.
"I wonder what will fly out?"
The little monk Yan Chen's voice suddenly sounded beside Xiao Chen, startling Xiao Chen.
"What are you doing, following me?" Xiao Chen asked with some reproach and frowned slightly.
Yan Chen smiled abashedly."Big Brother Xiao, it's not strange. I am someone who naturally enjoys excitement. When I was stuck in the temple, I liked to sneak out and go down the mountain. I could not endure the loneliness."
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly, feeling speechless. He wondered which temple this little monk came from. To think that they managed to teach such a weirdo.
"Then, you are only allowed to watch. Don't ever give me any trouble."
When Yan Chen heard that, he smiled faintly and said, "Hehe! Don't worry. I never look for trouble."
There was one more thing that Yan Chen did not say. He indeed never looked for trouble. It was usually trouble that sought him out.
However, this time there should not be any trouble. I am just watching from a distance. Yan Chen smiled uncertainly in his heart.
Suddenly, right at this moment, countless horrifying shrieks burst out of the mound, sounding like the mountains and seas wailing in anguish.
A baleful aura soared up, causing everyone to tremble in fear and sending chills down their spine.
The Demonic Dao cultivators hidden in the darkness shivered reflexively in excitement.
Just based on this sound, they could tell that this inherited Dao Tool had refined an untold number of resentful souls.
It had to be at least one million. Furthermore, these would not be ordinary resentful souls. Otherwise, the sound would not be so mournful and piercing, reaching the depths of one's soul.
"Rumble... !"
Without warning, countless bolts of lightning tore through the sky and shattered the demonic clouds.
It was like the Heavenly Dao did not permit such a Dao Tool with overwhelming sin to appear.
"Heavenly Lightning!"
"It is actually an inherited Dao Tool that can provoke Heavenly Lightning. This is incredible. This inherited Dao Tool must be extraordinary!"
"The success rate of refining an inherited Dao Tool that can stir up Heavenly Lightning is frighteningly low. It is too easy for them to get damaged by Heavenly Lightning. The Myriad Holy Temple of the past was truly a great Demonic Dao sect."
This mysterious phenomenon immediately caused a big commotion. Many Demonic Dao cultivators started discussing with each other.
Several bolts of Heavenly Lightning fell, but the Demonic Qi blocked them all; they failed to strike the ground and could not harm the inherited Dao Tool.
As Xiao Chen gazed at the lightning in the sky, he felt astonished in his heart. This inherited Dao Tool that is about to appear is probably several levels higher than that ghost pennant.
If it landed in the hands of a Demonic Dao cultivator, the other party would definitely grow much stronger.
That would immediately create another strong enemy for Xiao Chen.
He wondered if he should risk snatching this inherited Dao Tool.
This thought appeared for only a moment before Xiao Chen rejected it.
The strong dragon cannot suppress the local snake. It was simply irrational for him to fight alone in this place and try to snatch this inherited Dao Tool. The risk was too great.
Furthermore, this was not the time for the final struggle.
Before the nightless mysterious phenomenon happened, Xiao Chen had best avoid doing anything that would attract attention.
That's right. It is better to watch from afar. That way, my enemies will be in the open, and I will be hidden. The more I understand, the greater my advantage.
Based on his own experience, Xiao Chen knew that the new wielder would not be able to bring out the full might of the inherited Dao Tool right away.
"Hehehehehe!"
The inherited Dao Tool in the mound let out a burst of scary laughter as if displaying wild disdain for heaven.
The Heavenly Lightning grew increasingly terrifying but never reached the mound to injure the inherited Dao Tool.
Just when everyone thought that the inherited Dao Tool would successfully appear, an intense and very piercing light suddenly flared in the sky.
Caught off guard, nearly everyone, including Xiao Chen, felt their eyes hurt.
"Boom!"
Close on the heels of that was an intense explosion. The mound was instantly leveled, and dust flew into the air, obscuring the sky.
The shrieks of countless resentful souls rang out. The fearless and unruly Demonic Qi that soared into the clouds got chopped apart and scattered with the wind.
The Heavenly Lightning had injured the inherited Dao Tool.
As expected, a scarlet demonic mirror appeared in the air, flickering with a flamelike black light, and flew in a certain direction.
The black demonic light was unsettling, but one could clearly feel it weakening. That final Heavenly Lightning had indeed injured this inherited Dao Tool that stirred the place up.
Xiao Chen opened his dazzled eyes, feeling something was wrong. His expression changed drastically.
"Whoosh!" The demonic mirror disappeared.
Xiao Chen turned his head and eyed Yan Chen beside him. Then, he asked through clenched teeth, "Little monk, can you explain why this inherited Dao Tool flew into your hands?"
