Chapter 1949 (Raw 2049): Grand Beta Profound Lightning

Eccentric Tie’s death was truly undeserved. It was not that he did not consider that no matter how weakened the five were, they still had not activated their Divine Dragon bloodlines.

Once the Divine Dragon bloodline activated and ended, the already weakened five would weaken even further.

At that time, not to mention a Star Venerate, even a Major Primal Core Venerate could end them.

Under such circumstances, Xiao Chen and the other Dragon’s Gate disciples should have yielded to the threat.

Who could have thought that they would not bother speaking any nonsense? They had already anticipated how the rest would react.

Xiao Chen and the other four activated their Great Desolate Eon bloodlines at the same time. Eccentric Tie was caught off guard, unable to react; he ended up blasted to bits.

The auras of Xiao Chen and the other four flourished as they gave chase. Baili Xiu’s team did not manage to get far before getting wiped out.

Qi Yunfeng was right. When the five activated their Great Desolate Eon bloodlines at the same time, even a Sovereign Personage would have to run, what more those that remained of Baili Xiu’s team? They were far from comparable to a Sovereign Personage; how could they even run?

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

The Murong couple had some time to prepare. They endured their severe wounds and fled far away with whatever they had left.

However, Xiao Chen did not want to let those two off. A scarlet light flashed on the ring he wore. Then, the Demon Blood Vulture appeared, let out a loud screech, and gave chase.

In mere moments, only Qi Yunfeng remained, running madly from the bunch of people that came with ferocious auras.

Qi Yunfeng went pale with fright. Cold sweat flowed copiously. The fear of death shrouded his mind.

The horrifying Great Desolate Eon Dragon Might spread out in the world, preventing him from bringing out even half of his strength.

“Flying Cloud Talisman!”

The deaths of the others bought Qi Yunfeng time to use his trump card.

A talisman appeared. After Qi Yunfeng activated it, he stood on a flying cloud, and his speed more than tripled.

Just when it looked like Xiao Chen and the others could not catch up, winds blew and willow leaves scattered. A flash of saber light stabbed into Qi Yunfeng’s chest.

Qi Yunfeng dropped like a broken kite. Who knew, he was still breathing. He endured the intense pain and resumed running.

Liu Ruyun stretched out her hand and grabbed her saber, frowning slightly. Clearly, she did not expect that Qi Yunfeng would have the strength to continue fleeing.

It should be because of Qi Yunfeng’s armor negating most of the saber’s might. Otherwise, it would not be like that.

“Don’t chase him,” Xiao Chen said when he saw that Liu Ruyun wanted to set out in pursuit.

This Qi Yunfeng was not simple. Who knew what other trump cards he had? If he ran, so be it.

Since Xiao Chen knew what was going on, he did not care much about this.

After Xiao Chen spoke, the group’s aura rapidly weakened, plummeting to rock bottom.

However, everyone had a smile on their face, feeling extremely delighted.

Earlier, they had been worried about how to deal with the other people just waiting for them to be exhausted, ready to kill them after the Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake.

Xiao Chen did not have to think much before he came out with this plan to activate their bloodlines and deal lightning-quick strikes.

Since they already fell out with each other, there was no need to show any mercy.

“Hahaha! I have not felt so delighted in such a long time. That group of bastards all hid and used me as a tool!”

After Murong Yan vented his frustration, he felt jubilant. Suddenly, he turned his head around and said, “Xiao Chen, thank you!”

Xiao Chen and Situ Changfeng exchanged looks, thinking that they heard wrong.

This Murong Yan was famous for being thoughtless. Even though Xiao Chen and Situ Changfeng had rescued him many times, they had not heard a single word of gratitude from him before.

Hearing this for the first time, the two found it strange.

The others also all gave Murong Yan strange looks. Murong Yan asked in a fluster, “What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong?”

Wei Hongfei scolded, “You thoughtless fellow finally said something nice. Xiao Chen, how should we deal with this Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake?”

Xiao Chen pondered. Just the head alone was the size of a small mountain; the body was even larger.

This was indeed not easy to deal with. If they wanted to dispose of everything, it would waste a lot of time.

“Just take all the valuable parts. We can discuss how to split them after returning. We can take just the essence of the Great Desolate Eon demonic blood, but we have to take away all one thousand purple-pattern wings. Those are peak materials for refining equipment, worth at least a million Primeval Heavenly Pills. We have to take the snake’s crown as well. However, be very careful; it has a powerful poison. We should take its venomous fangs as well...”

Xiao Chen sized up the Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake and seriously gave instructions. Harvesting just the key components was still a huge task. However, the group proceeded at full swing, feeling extremely excited.

Originally, the group would have obtained only twenty percent of this Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake. Now, they took more than eighty percent of it. As for the remaining parts, they did not need them.

Regarding the most valuable Beast Core of the Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake, Xiao Chen personally extracted it.

The Beast Core was covered in purple cloud patterns. It gave off a strong aura and flickered with a faint glow. This was an overlord-class Sovereign-Personage-level ferocious beast’s Beast Core.

The value of this Beast Core far surpassed Xiao Chen’s capability to evaluate it. He had to seek out a skilled appraiser to find out.

Otherwise, if the group sold it off without figuring out the situation, they would lose big.

“Xiao Chen, we already removed all of the purple-pattern wings.”

“The collection of the Great Desolate Eon demonic blood’s essence is nearly complete.”

“I got the venomous fangs! Hehe! There are nine of them in all. Even without refining these trinkets, they are already a bone weapon equal to a Dao Tool.”

“I removed the snake’s crown. That was really difficult. The venomous fluid nearly squirted onto me.”

After extracting the parts of the Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake, the others all came to report to Xiao Chen one after another. Without saying anything more, they handed the items to Xiao Chen for safekeeping.

This was a kind of trust. Xiao Chen had shown stability and decisiveness amid danger several times already, gaining their trust.

“Xiao Chen, come take a look. What is this?” Wei Hongfei called Xiao Chen over to where he was standing on the Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake’s head.

“Whoosh!”

With a thought, Xiao Chen’s figure flashed, and he arrived beside Wei Hongfei. Then, he looked at where Wei Hongfei pointed.

“This is...”

Many bolts of terrifying black lightning could be seen in the Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake’s head, endlessly moving about chaotically.

“This is tribulation lightning!”

Xiao Chen exclaimed in some shock, “Just what tribulation did this Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake go through? To think that this tribulation lightning even gives me a trace of dread.”

Wei Hongfei thought in his heart, What a stroke of luck! It turned out that while they were fighting the Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake, it was still refining the tribulation lightning.

“An extremely special tribulation lightning must have descended during its lightning tribulation. The Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake probably wanted to subdue and refine it for its own use. We really got lucky this time. Had it not tried to refine this tribulation lightning, the consequences would have been dire.” Wei Hongfei gave his analysis.

Xiao Chen nodded in agreement. This tribulation lightning sparked his interest.

“Among us, you are the only one who cultivates the Thunder Great Dao. You subdue it,” Wei Hongfei offered when he noticed Xiao Chen’s interest.

Xiao Chen did not reject him. “I’ll try, then.”

After speaking, he directly entered the head, using his saber intent to carve a path. Then, he followed the tribulation lightning to its source, relentlessly hunting it down.

“Crackle! Crackle! Crackle!”

The electric light that surged around in the snake’s head occasionally crashed into Xiao Chen, inflicting some pain. However, this whetted his interest.

“I found it.”

It was not easy moving around in the head. After some effort, Xiao Chen arrived at the source of this tribulation lightning.

“A sword?”

Xiao Chen found this strange, surprise flashing across his face. The Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake had refined the lightning source into a sword embryo.

The sword embryo had ancient characters naturally generated by the power of heaven and earth carved on it, flickering with golden light, and the supreme truth within it swam about like tadpoles.

“It is actually a bolt of Grand Beta Profound Lightning!”

[TL Note: The Grand Beta is one of the ten heavenly stems. The ten heavenly stems are a Chinese system of ordinals and are used in many systems, even the naming of some deities. They correspond with the various elements and attributes. The system is also used for numbering or ordering things, 1-10. A-J, Alpha-Gamma, used in various aspects, including molecule names.]

According to the incomplete memories that Xiao Chen inherited from the Faux God Flame, the tribulation lightning containing a natural supreme truth was known as Grand Beta Profound Lightning.

Grand Beta Profound Lightning was very rare, a Dao naturally materialized by the Heavenly Dao and born when mixed with lightning.

It was something that could only be found and not sought, something very hard to obtain.

No wonder this Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake wanted to refine the Grand Beta Profound Lightning into a weapon. Once it succeeded, it would have a Grand Beta Profound Weapon, something with inconceivable might.

Xiao Chen’s heart thumped heavily. Without overthinking, he erased the lingering thoughts and Spiritual Mark in the sword embryo.

Then, he set his own Spiritual Mark on the sword embryo before withdrawing it into his palm.

However, right now, this was just a rudimentary sword embryo. Who knew how long it would take to form?

Of course, if Xiao Chen did not want to refine a Grand Beta Profound Weapon, he could directly absorb the Grand Beta Profound Lightning. His Divine Lightning Eye could digest this Grand Beta Profound Lightning.

Both choices were acceptable. It just depended on Xiao Chen’s preference.

When Xiao Chen exited the Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake’s head, he discovered that the others had already harvested the rest of the valuable parts of the Demonic Blood Thousand Wing Snake.

When Murong Yan and the others gathered, they handed all the parts they collected to Xiao Chen for safekeeping.

Actually, what remained of the enormous body still had extraordinary value. However, it was too large. The group’s storage rings would not be able to contain it.

“Ga! Ga!”

A strange cry rang out. The Demon Blood Vulture, which went after the Murong couple, probably rushed back after perfectly completing its task.

“Let’s search the surroundings. Wherever there are overlord-class ferocious beasts, there would normally be things like ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Herbs. Perhaps we might reap some unexpected gains,” Xiao Chen suggested softly as he looked around.

“I nearly forgot about this. We should do a proper search.” Wei Hongfei smiled. If they managed to find something, it would be another huge pleasant surprise.
