Chapter 1144: The Great Roc Hates the Sky for Being Too Low When It Spreads Its Wings

Chapter 1144: The Great Roc Hates the Sky for Being Too Low When It Spreads Its Wings

Several decorative items in the room shattered into powder, making a lot of noise. The formerly quiet room turned chaotic in an instant.

Xia Luo stood outside the room with an angry face. Holding himself upright with his hands clasped behind his back, he said coldly, “Brat, I gave you face, but you did not accept it. What did Bingyun come to your room to do? Tell this young master everything.”

A murderous intent flared in Xiao Chen’s heart. He suppressed his rage as he stood up and retorted indifferently, “Is there a need to tell you?”

“Haha! Good! Very good!”

Xia Luo stared straight at Xiao Chen and said, “You are truly an ignorant fool. I was originally planning to spare your life and only deal with you when we get to Black Water City. It looks like there is no need for this now.” Killing Qi surged out from his entire body as he smiled coldly.

“Die for me!” Xia Luo shouted angrily. A fierce thunder fire burned on his body. Then, a flash of berserk lightning burst out from his body and wrecked the entire inn in that instant.

This startled all the cultivators staying in the inn. Like alarmed animals, they dashed out, not daring to remain a moment longer, afraid of getting caught in the crossfire in a battle between experts.

Xia Luo, who was within the electric light, looked like the thunder god, appearing incredibly mighty. He threw a punch, shooting out a thousand strands of flames containing electricity.

When he punched, his rage was shooting through the roof; he used almost all his power in this blow without holding back at all.

The berserk thunder rumbled, never pausing even for a moment. Xia Luo’s punch displayed strong and horrifying explosive power. He clearly wanted to kill Xiao Chen with this punch.

It was pretty good. The accumulations of the legendary Thunder Fire Sovereign’s line could not be underestimated even though the clan was in decline.

Xia Luo’s strength was rather remarkable. He was qualified to be arrogant.

Of course, this was just the absorption of a little knowledge. This still appeared insufficient in Xiao Chen’s eyes.

The seated Xiao Chen suddenly stood up as he activated his Heavenly Seal with a thought. His ten thousand Heavenly Laws drove a surging power of the world just like that.

The great Roc hates the sky for being too low when it spreads its wings!

Xiao Chen also threw a punch. A huge Kun Peng that covered half the sky appeared behind him. The ruined inn immediately turned into powder, vanishing entirely.

It is simply that I chose not to make a move. However, when I do, I will use all my might. With just his aura, Xiao Chen instantly suppressed Xia Luo.

Xiao Chen did not give Xia Luo any time to be shocked. The instant the two punches clashed, he sent Xia Luo flying back and vomiting blood.

Yue Bingyun hovered high in the sky. A Consummation quasi-Emperor old man with horrifying cultivation stood behind her.

“Is that your friend?” the old man asked, pointing to Xia Luo.

Yue Bingyun shook her head and replied, “Naturally not.”

“In that case, good. That person is very rash, and his reputation in the Black Sea is not very good.” The old man nodded. Then, he pointed to Xiao Chen and asked, “How is that person related to Young Miss? He is the one who killed the leader of the first batch of people we sent, the Scarlet Wolf Pirates.”

Yue Bingyun sighed. After she asked about the details, she quickly understood what happened. She said, “He is my friend. This should just be a misunderstanding. He is not related to the Jadeite Mountain Manor. Is the plan ready?”

“Everything is ready.” The old man whispered, “I can guarantee that the Jadeite Mountain Manor will definitely suffer heavy losses on the fifteenth of the next month.”

As the two spoke, the battle below approached its conclusion. After being sent flying by Xiao Chen, Xia Luo ended up suffering a relentless beating.

Many of the cultivators staying in this small city recognized Xia Luo. They were all surprised at the sight of Xia Luo being battered into such a sorry state.

“Who is this white-robed youth? How come he dares to raise his hand against even the Xia Clan’s people?”

“He is really strong. Among the younger generation of Black Water City, this Xia Luo can be considered a major figure. Unexpectedly, he is getting beaten up right at his doorstep.”

Xia Luo, who had been pummeled into submission, groaned painfully. Now, he no longer behaved as tyrannically as he did before. He glared hatefully at Xiao Chen before dashing towards Black Water City.

Xiao Chen stood upright with his hands behind his back. He did not give chase, letting Xia Luo flee miserably.

“There is going to be some trouble. The Xia Clan is a big faction in Black Water City. You were somewhat rash there,” Yue Bingyun said slowly as she drifted down.

Unconcerned, Xiao Chen said, “There are one hundred million people in the city, comparable to a large nation. No matter how big the Xia Clan is, it would not be so easy to find me.”

“There is going to be an auction at the level of quasi-Emperors in Black Water City. Are you interested in taking a look?”

Clearly, Yue Bingyun did not really care about Xia Luo’s matter. She immediately changed the topic and invited Xiao Chen along.

“Sure.”

Xiao Chen currently had hundreds of millions of Black Astral Coins on hand. He was rather looking forward to this quasi-Emperor-level auction. Perhaps he could find some equipment that he liked.

When day broke, Xiao Chen and Yue Bingyun arrived at Black Water City together. The black city walls were like a dragon forged of metal, coiling around on the ground.

No sunlight shone in the dim space. However, subdued glow flickered on the walls. It clearly looked very mysterious.

There were probably some other mysteries with this coiling city wall constructed with many divine materials. Even if a Martial Emperor attacked, he might not be able to destroy the city instantly.

Yue Bingyun looked at the city walls and felt somewhat impressed. “This city is a pretty good grade. It can be considered a Grade 8 city, able to block most ordinary Martial Emperors.”

“Cities have grades as well?” Xiao Chen asked curiously.

Yue Bingyun smiled gently and replied, “Naturally. They are graded from one to nine. The higher the grade, the better it is. After Grade 9 is the strongest, Holy City.”

Xiao Chen pondered her words. Then, he thought about the Heavenly Dragon City that was under construction. He recalled Mo Chen saying it would be no worse than Bright Moon City, so he asked, “What grade is Bright Moon City?”

A look of pride flashed across Yue Bingyun’s face. She replied, “Naturally, Bright Moon City is a Holy City that surpasses Grade 9. Furthermore, it has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. With its continuous accumulations, it is worthy of being called an Immortal Holy City, the strongest Holy City in the oceanic world.”

It looked like Heavenly Dragon City would be of a good grade, able to reach the standards of a Holy City. However, that was still a far cry from being an Immortal Holy City.

Xiao Chen thought about finding some way to catch up to the accumulations of an Immortal Holy City.

“Speaking of which, there are a few Immortal Holy Cities in the oceanic world that are worthy of being called the strongest Holy City.”

After paying the city toll, the two entered the city, casually chatting.

Yue Bingyun understood a lot about this topic. She explained, “There are seven. Each of the vast sea regions has one Immortal Holy City.

“For the Heavenly Starry Ocean, there is Bright Moon City; for the Penglai Sea, it would be Penglai City; as for the Black Sea, it would be Dark City at the Dark Sea, the core sea domain.”

This was the first time Xiao Chen heard any of this information, so it surprised him. He asked, “What about the other four cities? Could it be that there are other sea regions aside from these three great sea regions?”

“Of course there are. However, it would be pointless to tell you about them at this point. The oceanic world is vast and boundless. Even the transcendent overlord, the Sea Monarch, did not dare to arrogantly state that he understood every sea region.”

As the two spoke, they entered an inn. After ordering some food and eating, they headed to their respective rooms.

Then, Xiao Chen called over a manservant. Giving him one hundred Black Astral Coins, he instructed him to find out the details of the Jadeite Mountain Manor’s Divine Weapon within four hours.

All of this was public information. The Jadeite Mountain Manor enjoyed considerable fame in Black Water City. Hence, the locals here only needed to spend some time and could readily gather this information.

The manservant looked at the one hundred Black Astral Coins. This was simply like getting money for free. He quickly agreed, unable to stop smiling from ear to ear.

Then, Xiao Chen sat down cross-legged and continued to practice infusing the five different states into his saber soul.

At the same time, Xia Luo spoke with a crestfallen expression with an old man in a large courtyard belonging to the Xia Clan in Black Water City.

This old man was Wang Zhen. Three years ago, he managed to break through the bottleneck of Great Perfection quasi-Emperor, becoming a Consummation quasi-Emperor, having condensed a soul for his Heavenly Seal. After that, he became the administrator of the Xia Clan in Black Water City, managing all the local factions under the Xia Clan.

Wang Zhen was only waiting until he built up enough accumulations to take on his Great Tribulation of wind and fire and break through to Martial Emperor.

However, if Wang Zhen failed his tribulation, there was a good chance he would die. Even if he had sufficient accumulations, he might not have the courage and confidence to undergo his tribulation.

“How courageous to dare to openly bully the people of our Xia Clan! Second Young Master, rest assured. Leave this matter to this old man. As long as I find this person, I will immediately cripple him.”

A murderous intent flashed in Wang Zhen’s eyes. Given his cultivation as a Consummation quasi-Emperor, it should be easy for him to kill a Great Perfection quasi-Emperor.

After infusing one’s soul into the Heavenly Seal, not only could one drive a much purer power of the world than Greater Perfection quasi-Emperors, but one could also drive it much more naturally. There was a qualitative difference between a Consummation quasi-Emperor and a Great Perfection quasi-Emperor.

The most important thing was that after one infused their soul into the Heavenly Seal, the Heavenly Seal would already become the vague form of the Heart of an Emperor.

At this point, it would be very difficult to cause fatal physical damage to a Consummation quasi-Emperor, unless it was something like chopping off the head or shattering the heart.

The damage would be significantly decreased, and the Sage Body of a quasi-Emperor would be strengthened, becoming infinitely closer to a Golden Emperor Body.

Xia Luo’s expression turned sinister. He said, “There is no rush for now. Three days from now, Black Water City will organize a quasi-Emperor-level auction. At that time, after I buy a few treasures there, my strength will naturally soar.”

Wang Zhen was very intelligent and quickly understood what Xia Luo meant. The Second Young Master wanted to defeat that white-robed person personally, to erase the humiliation he had suffered.

“No problem. Everything shall go according to Second Young Master’s wishes.”

Back in the inn, Xiao Chen came out of his cultivation. Of the five higher-level states, he already perfectly merged death and massacre into his saber soul.

Now, the compatibility of the massacre saber soul and death saber soul reached one hundred percent. Their might was now just slightly weaker than the lightning saber soul.

If Xiao Chen could advance these two states into wills, the respective saber souls would not be weaker than the lightning saber soul.

At that time, Xiao Chen’s combat prowess might equal a regular Consummation quasi-Emperor.

“Dong! Dong! Dong!”

Knocking rang out. The manservant peeked his head into the room with a smile. Then, he handed a complete report to Xiao Chen.

The manservant had worked faster than expected. After rewarding him with more Black Astral Coins, Xiao Chen sent him away.

Now, it was time to take a look at what kind of Divine Weapon the Jadeite Mountain Manor possessed.

Xiao Chen read through the report carefully, flipping through page after page. As he did so, his expression turned increasingly grave. He could not help showing a trace of excitement on his face.
