Chapter 612: Chapter 612: Advancing to the Transcendent Peak!
"Who obtained the Spirit King’s inheritance?" A hoarse voice of an old man spoke.
His gaze swept over everyone ominously.
This old man was the half-step Transcendent Realm expert among this group of Wushen Sect members.
"Guardian Hai!" A Wushen Sect disciple pointed at Chen Xiao, "That guy’s magic artifact is a Quasi-Saint Artifact and looks exactly like the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower recorded in the ancient books. It must be him who got the Spirit King’s inheritance!"
Upon hearing this, Guardian Hai’s eyes immediately fixed on the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower in Chen Xiao’s hands, revealing a look of greed, "It truly is the Spirit King’s Quasi-Saint Artifact, the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower. Kid, hand over the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower quickly, or... I won’t show mercy to you!"
"You, do you deserve it?" Chen Xiao said coldly.
"Hahahaha—" Guardian Hai burst into laughter, "A mere Late Transcendent Realm youngster dares to disrespect me, Lake and Sea Wanderer. It seems the younger generation really needs a lesson!"
Upon hearing these words, everyone’s pupils contracted tightly!
No one expected that the old man in front of them was actually the legendary Lake and Sea Wanderer! He was the top powerhouse on the Transcendent List for ten consecutive years!
Now, he had even advanced to the half-step Heavenly Realm.
Who present could be his opponent?
Moreover, Lake and Sea Wanderer was actually a member of the Wushen Sect!
"Lake and Sea Wanderer, never heard of him." Chen Xiao said indifferently, "I only know that I just slew two of your protectors from the Wushen Sect, and half-step Transcendent is nothing much."
These words caused killing intent to flash in the eyes of the Wushen Sect members.
Especially the Lake and Sea Wanderer, as if he suffered a tremendous insult.
Before entering the Tianyuan Secret Realm, he was already the top on the Transcendent List! Moreover, with the help of the Wushen Sect, he advanced to half-step Transcendent upon entering the Tianyuan Secret Realm and became invincible in it!
A mere Late Transcendent Realm ant dared to provoke him like this?
"So, my Wushen Sect’s two protectors who explored the Spirit King’s ancient tomb were killed by you!"
"Then you have no reason to live either."
After speaking, Lake and Sea Wanderer struck ruthlessly, raising his hand, a large Palm Seal struck toward Chen Xiao!
Chen Xiao swung his sharp sword!
"Bang—" His body was immediately forced back, intense pain emanating from his chest.
Purely relying on strength, he indeed had a bit of a gap with the half-step Transcendent Realm now.
However... even so, dreaming for this guy to kill him!
Lake and Sea Wanderer knocked back Chen Xiao with one move, smiled coldly, and put his hands behind his back, "The people of the Great Zhou Imperial Family and the Xuantian Sect are also here, which saves trouble. I can settle my Wushen Sect’s old feud at once, today you all must die!"
Back then, the Wushen Sect dominated the entire Outer Domain, and it was the Three Ancient Royal Families and forces like the Xuantian Sect that jointly eradicated it, forcing the Wushen Sect to hide and endure humiliation.
Now, their Wushen Sect re-emerges to re-dominate the Outer Domain.
These forces naturally need to pay the price for this as well.
"Heh heh, Guardian, didn’t our Heavenly Venerate just give us a Blood Soul Banner? Just in time, use them to blood-sacrifice the Blood Soul Banner to enhance its power!"
"Blood Soul Banner?" Upon hearing these words, fear appeared in everyone’s eyes.
This Blood Soul Banner is an evil magic treasure peculiar to the Wushen Sect, capable of devouring soul and absorbing Martial Artist’s essence blood, feeding it back into the magic treasure, continually enhancing the power of the Blood Soul Banner!
If a Martial Artist is swallowed by this Blood Soul Banner, they will be refined alive, torn apart by the resentful souls within the Blood Soul Banner, a fate worse than death!
Hearing this, Lake and Sea Wanderer licked his lips, "Indeed, if this Blood Soul Banner swallows their flesh, essence, and souls, it should be able to upgrade to Heavenly Grade Top, just in time, use them as the nourishment for the Blood Soul Banner!"
As he spoke.
A completely blood-red banner appeared in his hand, strands of black mist swirling around it, a bloodthirsty aura that made one’s hair stand on end spread out!
"We’re done for..." Fear and despair showed on the faces of several martial artists of the Great Zhou Imperial Family.
A half-step Transcendent expert was already enough to deal with, and now, this evil and strange Blood Soul Banner left them no chance of escape!
Lake and Sea Wanderer laughed maniacally, "All of you, come into my Blood Soul Banner as guests, being the nourishment for my Blood Soul Banner should be considered your honor!"
Zi Yuan immediately grabbed Chen Xiao and said in a low voice, "Run!"
At this moment, cold sweat was pouring from her, faced with two half-step Transcendent experts, plus a Blood Soul Banner, only escape could give them a sliver of chance!
"No need to run." Chen Xiao took a deep breath.
In the next second, he directly activated the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower.
The huge projection of the Spirit Tower directly enveloped them all, and instantly, the people of the Xuantian Sect and the Great Zhou Imperial Family appeared inside the projection of the Spirit Tower.
"Is this... inside the Spirit Tower?"
"How did we end up here?"
Both Emperor’s daughter of Xiyue and Zi Yuan exhaled in relief.
Now, with the protection of the Spirit Tower, they were temporarily safe.
Yet Zi Yuan sighed, "Though this Spirit Tower can protect us for a while, we can’t stay here forever, right?"
Outside, Lake and Sea Wanderer’s arrogant voice also came through.
"Kid, even if you activate this Spirit Tower, it requires spiritual power to sustain it. Let’s see how long you can hide in this turtle shell! When you can’t hold on, it will be your end!"
"Attack this Spirit Tower, once its defense is breached, they will be doomed!"
Once Lake and Sea Wanderer’s voice fell, the Wushen Sect members immediately launched attacks on the Spirit Tower projection.
The entire Spirit Tower started to totter.
This made their expressions extremely grim.
Even Emperor’s daughter of Xiyue took a deep breath, "The defense of this Spirit Tower won’t last long."
Chen Xiao said calmly, "No need to hold on for long, once I emerge from the Spirit Tower, it’s their time to die!"
As he finished speaking, Zi Yuan and the others saw streams of pure spiritual power appearing from all directions, then wildly surging towards Chen Xiao.
"Is this... the spiritual power formed from refining the bodies and essence of those people from the Great Zhou Imperial Family?!"
"Unexpectedly, this Nine Refinement Spirit Tower possesses such heaven-defying capabilities!"
In this way, the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower actually appears to be an upgraded version of the Blood Soul Banner, only the Blood Soul Banner refines martial artists’ flesh and essence, strengthening only itself, whereas the Nine Refinement Spirit Tower refines all the martial artist’s essence for the master’s use!
Truly heaven-defying!
Chen Xiao took a deep breath, then sat down cross-legged, countless streams of pure spiritual power frantically surged into his body...
The spiritual power formed by the flesh and essence of the seven Transcendent Realm Peak Martial Artists from the Da Xia Royal Family should help him break through to the Transcendent Realm Peak!
Once he advances to the Transcendent Realm Peak, eliminating half-step Transcendent Martial Artists would be as easy as flipping a hand!
