Chapter 1827 (Raw 1838): Sword Monarch Grass

Xiao Chen finally reached that large continent that was the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s heart.

This continent was incredibly vast, looking like a true continent.

There were already countless experts on it. Strong auras spread in the air. Xiao Chen could even sense the auras of several Holy Venerates.

These Holy Venerates should have noticed something wrong with this forbidden land by now.

Xiao Chen just did not know where Yan Zhe and Senior Chai had gone.

Those two were very strong and had the Scarlet Blood War Banner with them. The hurdles probably would not affect them.

The gravity in the heart was much stronger than that of the blazing sea of blood.

It was a great test of a cultivator’s physical body as one walked around.

Having formed the Divine Dragon War Body and activated thirty percent of the Azure Dragon bloodline’s power, Xiao Chen did not experience too much pressure when flying there.

The ancient bloodline brought Xiao Chen a huge advantage.

It allowed him—a Major Primal Core Venerate—to move about freely in the heart, not much weaker than late-stage Star Venerates or Holy Venerates.

“What a strong life force! I can even feel a heartbeat.”

After Xiao Chen landed, he detected a mysterious energy with the rhythm of a heartbeat coming from the ground.

Aside from this, he also felt a sword intent.

People with sharp senses like Xiao Chen could easily feel a vague sword intent that was everywhere—up, down, left, right, front, and back—in every direction.

Everything around, be it rocks, peaks, or trees, were straight and sharp like swords.

Unfortunately, this was not a saber intent. If it were, Xiao Chen could cultivate here.

If he could absorb an ever-present saber intent, his progress in the Saber Dao would soar, developing rapidly.

Xiao Chen raised his head and looked into the distance. There were demonic clouds churning in many places, turning into large armies and ancient mutated beasts.

Those demonic clouds seemed to be hiding something. They were very eye-catching in the distance.

“I should go over and take a look.”

Xiao Chen executed the Thunder Dragon Steps, and his figure moved like lightning as he rushed over.

Soon, he caught up with the people who crossed the blazing sea of blood earlier.

These people seemed to know that the continent was incredibly dangerous and unpredictable, so they formed a simple temporary team.

“A Major Primal Core Venerate!”

When Xiao Chen appeared, several members of this group revealed bewildered gazes. Many early-stage and middle-stage Star Venerates had failed to barge into this place. For a Venerate to succeed was truly surprising.

“Humph! He probably relied on some treasure to rush over. He is probably a relative of an Elder from one of the sects. Just leave him be, to destroy himself.”

The leader of this group was a white-clad, late-stage Star Venerate old man. He ordered coldly, “Go on. Keep an eye out. Everything is very strange here. We might die at any moment!”

Clearly, the destination of this group of people was also the mysterious places encased by demonic clouds.

Xiao Chen was happy to let these people scout the way. He followed behind this group but did not lower his guard.

He spread out Spiritual Sense, and the two pools of Veritable Essence Energies slowly circulated in his 9-Star Primal Core, in case of emergency.

The group traveled through a forest and got through the daunting experience without mishap. Then, a boundless grass plain entered their eyes.

Every blade of grass was half a meter tall, standing straight like a sword. When the wind blew, the grass did not move at all. Truly a marvel.

“This is interesting. This is my first time seeing such straight grass.”

“Indeed. Even the wind does not move them.”

Xiao Chen frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong when the saber intent in his body suddenly started trembling.

This was a sign of danger.

Indeed, in the next moment, when a cool breeze blew, bloody holes of various sizes silently appeared in the people at the head of the group. They fell over before they could say a single word.

The survivors fell into turmoil in an instant. They quickly moved back, drew their weapons, and used their Veritable Essence Energy to protect themselves.

It was a sword. The wind hid the sword intent from when the Scarlet Blood Pirate King was alive. All the green grass were formed by the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s sword intent.

Those people that fell were not taken down by a simple, cool breeze.

Instead, while they were marveling at the sight, the sword intent had already silently started to attack them.

Xiao Chen’s hair stood on end. Could it be that when my saber intent trembled uncontrollably, it was actually clashing with that sword intent?

How scary! For any swordsman, even the most insignificant sword intent would be sharp, hard, and tyrannical.

I have never heard that sword intent can be so gentle, silent but not losing any sharpness.

What height had such a Sword Dao reached? That is simply unimaginable.

Someone made a move, sending out large flames to burn up this vast plain of sword grass.

Who knew, it would have been fine if they had not tried to burn the sword grass. Once they did, something major happened.

A strong wind started blowing.

The boundless sword intent hiding in the wind covered the sky and launched an overwhelming attack.

It was a sword wind. However, it was hard to tell whether it was a swordlike wind or swords hiding in the wind. As the onslaught arrived, everyone became flustered.

Several people immediately took out their Dao Tools, only able to look after themselves and not others.

Occasionally, screams rang out when the sword wind reached their bodies. The sword intent mashed up their bones, marrow, blood, and flesh, inflicting incredible pain.

“Boom!”

Under such a chaotic scene, one person roared at the sky. Then, a resplendent and dazzling saber intent soared up from his entire body.

Without Xiao Chen drawing his saber, a Great Dao disk appeared behind him. He did not fluster in the face of danger, resisting the sword blades that the wind brought with his saber intent.

Suddenly, he advanced, the Dao disk protecting his body as he clashed with the sword wind.

Clangor rang out, sounding very melodious as it echoed in the surroundings.

At some point in time, Xiao Chen reached the very front. While the others were flustered, it looked like he would break through the sword wind soon.

“What a strong saber intent!”

“Great Dao Energy! This youth is incredible. He actually comprehended the Saber Dao’s Great Dao Energy!”

“To think that I could not tell earlier. If I establish a friendship with him, it might be possible for him to bring me out.”

Before the many experts’ envious gazes, Xiao Chen used his strong Saber Dao to advance slowly.

“Young man, I can tell clearly that you still have more power. Give us a hand, then,” the white-clad old man, who was the leader, said to Xiao Chen as his eyes flickered.

Xiao Chen turned his head back and replied indifferently, “Sorry, I can tell clearly that Senior also still has more power available. You do not look like you need help.”

This old fellow was really clever. As a late-stage Star Venerate, so long as he paid a certain price, he could very quickly break through this sword wind.

However, he wanted to use some praise to make Xiao Chen foolishly work for him. Such a thing could not happen.

While Xiao Chen spoke, he broke through the sword wind. Then, he changed out Great Dao Energies, and his body flickered with electric light. After that, he instantly executed the Thunder Dragon Steps.

“The Thunder Great Dao!”

The white-clad old man, who was feeling very upset, hesitated for a while when he saw Xiao Chen bring out another kind of Great Dao Energy. Finally, he gave up on some of his earlier thoughts.

Xiao Chen passed through the strong sword wind and stopped in the grass plain. Then, he looked around, in no rush to continue forward.

Every blade of sword grass was extremely valuable. He was pondering whether to take them all away.

If others knew of Xiao Chen’s thoughts, they would probably call him a madman.

The sword intent attacked the physical body at every moment in the grass plain. Staying longer meant more danger.

Others wished that they could leave. Why would they stop and target the sword grass?

However, Xiao Chen was different. His Saber Dao’s Great Dao Energy had already reached a profound level.

Although his Saber Dao’s Great Dao Energy could not compare to the sword intent that the Scarlet Blood Pirate King left behind, not reaching the level where it could be soft and hard at the same time, he still could protect himself with his Divine Dragon War Body.

After some quiet observation, Xiao Chen discovered something interesting. The wind did not come from the distance but from the sword grass.

There were certain sword grass on the boundless grass plain that trembled slightly. The wind came from them.

Xiao Chen spread out his Spiritual Sense, expanding it continuously. Then, he found a total of seven such sword grass.

Such strong sword grass could no longer be simply called sword grass. They were the monarchs of swords, kings of grass. It would be more appropriate to call them Sword Monarch Grass.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Xiao Chen’s figure flashed, and he arrived at the closest Sword Monarch Grass, landing in a grass patch.

The sword grass immediately pierced his body, inflicting many wounds and bloodying him.

Xiao Chen did not care about these superficial injuries. He bent over and grabbed the Sword Monarch Grass by the roots. When it trembled again, he gently pulled and immediately tugged it out.

“Crack! Crack!”

The moment Xiao Chen pulled out this Sword Monarch Grass, the sword grass for five hundred kilometers around instantly shattered like swords, turning into flying shards.

These ended up causing the Demonic Dao cultivators behind him, who were still resisting the sword wind, some trouble.

After one hour, all of the sword grass in the entire grass plain had shattered. As for Xiao Chen, he had obtained seven Sword Monarch Grass.

“Pu ci!”

Suddenly, seven sword lights shot out of Xiao Chen’s chest without any warning. Blood spurted out, looking like pillars.

Xiao Chen had remained on the grass plain for too long. The sword intent had accumulated to a point where injury was unavoidable.

Furthermore, this level of injury was despite his strong physique and saber intent resisting the sword intent.

Anyone else would definitely have died.

“Worth it!”

Looking at the seven lush, green Sword Monarch Grass in his hand, Xiao Chen revealed a faint smile.
