An indistinct aura spread out from Xiao Chen's body in the great hall. This was a strong might. Xiao Chen did not even use his Battle Qi at all. He only relied on his physical body and Battle Physique. Yet, he was able to display such might.
The air in the hall was stagnant, like a quagmire. At this moment, although Xiao Chen's martial realm did not increase, there was a fundamental change!
He had re-cultivated his Battle Physique with the Chaotic Qi. It was even more stable. At this moment, Xiao Chen's body was heavy and towering, like an ancient mountain.
Whoosh!
Finally, Xiao Chen, who had been sitting there cross-legged for several days without moving, let out a long breath. This breath was drawn out, and the air he exhaled even traveled more than thirty meters. Then, he opened his eyes, and two beams of divine light shot out.
Crack!
Xiao Chen spat out a mouthful of impure air and stood up. Suddenly, the entire hall shook slightly. Xiao Chen's body pressed down like a mountain. On the ground of the hall, a crack extended.
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly. He didn't think that using Chaotic Qi to forge his Battle Physique would have such an effect. Even if the Chaotic Battle Physique he had absorbed was not the pure Chaotic Source Qi, it still had the characteristics of Chaotic Source Qi, which was heavy.
Now, his Battle Physique had only recovered five layers, and the Blood Yuan Diamond in his body had only recovered to 30%. However, the weight of his Battle Physique was more than ten times heavier than when he was at his peak. It was not wrong to call it a human-shaped moving mountain.
"It seems a bit too much!"
Suppressing the bitter smile in his heart, Xiao Chen's Battle Physique grew even heavier. This also showed that the benefits he had obtained from re-cultivating by shattering the diamond were incomparably great. Similarly, the defense and toughness of his Battle Physique had become even stronger.
After more than two hours, Xiao Chen's body, which was glowing with a golden light under the Battle Armor, finally started to hide. The external appearance disappeared, and Xiao Chen also sank into silence. He was like a piece of unpolished jade, no longer as overbearing as before. This was a kind of comprehension and accumulation of the Martial Dao.
Of course, the fact that Xiao Chen's Battle Physique was more stable did not mean that he had surpassed his previous self. It could only be said that his Battle Physique had been tempered once again. He had established a perfect foundation again, and his foundation was even more stable!
In ten days, Xiao Chen had reforged his Battle Physique. The benefits he had obtained were extraordinary. Of course, the price he had paid was also great. However, at this moment, he knew that he was still not a match for the Blood Race.
All along, in the Desolate Border, he had an unparalleled fighting prowess, a reputation for being able to fight above his cultivation level. However, there was also a bottom line for fighting above his cultivation level. As one's cultivation increased, even the difference between small cultivation levels would gradually increase.
Moreover, people like the Blood Race, who had the bloodline of a king, or other special races in the Hundred Worlds, or those who had the same power as his Battle Physique, all of these talented people had the battle strength to fight people of a higher level. In this way, the two sides would cancel each other out, and it would depend on whose battle strength was stronger.
Xiao Chen also knew his own limits. He was not arrogant enough to think that he could suppress people of the same level in the Hundred Worlds. Moreover, a bloody war was about to break out between the Human Race and the Hundred Races. No one would care about the competition between people of the same level. There was only endless blood and fire. Regardless of age or cultivation, if he wanted to survive, he had to kill his opponent.
Similarly, Xiao Chen's mind had been tempered once again after the life and death battle. He was not restricted by anything and feared nothing. Even if it was a Legend rank expert, he would still dare to fight. On the contrary, even if it was the young and old of the foreign races, he would still raise the butcher's knife.
The Hundred Races were all fighting for the opportunity to reproduce. He might be a butcher to the foreign races, but to the vast Human Race, killing was saving all life!
"Master."
Very soon, Liu Li's voice rang out in Xiao Chen's Soul Sea. As the Eternal True Spirit of the Seal of Mountains and Rivers, the entire secret realm of the Gu Yuan Tribe was under her control.
It seemed that the Seal of Mountains and Rivers was on Xiao Chen's body, but it had to be said that the Great Dao of Spacetime was boundlessly mysterious and unpredictable. Many clansmen of the Gu Yuan Tribe lived in the secret realm. Naturally, Liu Li quickly informed Xiao Chen about what had happened in the tribe.
"Yes."
As Liu Li narrated, Xiao Chen nodded slightly. Currently, the entire tribe did not panic because of his absence. Under the leadership of the Great Elder, the tribe's elders, patriarchs, and Venerables had even begun to prepare for war.
However, at this moment, he did not let Liu Li pass his orders back. The tribe was not supported by him alone. Moreover, the entire tribe now had seven Venerable Great Venerables and hundreds of Heavenly Building Great Martial Artists. If they could not even suppress such a crisis, it would disappoint him, and he would have to use thunderous means.
"My … My Lord!"
When Xiao Chen's figure walked out of the hall, he was instantly discovered by a martial artist standing outside. He hurriedly bowed, but his entire body staggered and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Xiao Chen withdrew his aura in time.
Facing Xiao Chen, the martial artist's heart beat wildly. He was not considered weak. He was at the Fourth Heaven of the Heavenly Building Realm. In the outside world, he could gather a high-grade combat division. However, at this moment, he felt a sense of oppression. This was not only in his mind and Soul Sea, but also in his body. It was as if he was carrying a mountain on his back, making it difficult for him to extricate himself.
After withdrawing his aura, Xiao Chen asked softly, "I'm going to pay a visit to the Court Lord and the various seniors. I wonder if it's convenient now?"
"The Court Lord has said that Lord Xiao can immediately meet him after coming out of seclusion. At this moment, the Court Lord, Ancestor Junmu, and the Great Elder are discussing matters in the Fire Remuneration Palace."
The martial artist still spoke very respectfully.
"Alright!" Xiao Chen nodded and said, "Please lead the way."
Following this martial artist, they walked towards the Fire Remuneration Palace one after another. Along the way, they met countless martial artists of the Ancestral Court. They all looked at Xiao Chen from afar, and Xiao Chen returned the greeting.
Soon, Xiao Chen arrived outside the Fire Remuneration Palace. The simple and unadorned hall exuded an ancient aura. When he arrived in front of the hall, Xiao Chen's figure paused. The laziness from his seclusion was swept away. His body was like a sharp sword, and an aura overflowed from within. He cupped his fists, bowed, and shouted loudly.
"Gu Yuan Tribe Chief Xiao Chen greets you!"
This was a very formal greeting. The Ancestral Court of the Desolate Border had guarded the Desolate Border for countless years. The previous Court Lords had fought and bathed in blood, and some had even died on this land. He respected the achievements and the undying will of the Human Race.
"Chief Xiao, come in!" Soon, Great Elder Ming He's voice came from the hall.
Xiao Chen had just stepped into the hall. He did not use his Spiritual Will to explore the hall, so he did not know the situation in the hall. Only then did he realize that there were only a few figures in the hall.
Marquis Ziyang, Ancestor Junmu, Great Elder Ming He, Supreme Jiao, and Elder Shi. These were the figures of the Martial Path. Ancestor Junmu was the expert who had awakened in the Ancestral Court ten thousand years ago.
"Xiao Chen of the Gu Yuan Tribe greets the Court Lord and all the seniors!" After entering the hall, Xiao Chen bowed to the figures in the hall again.
"Chief Xiao, you don't have to be so polite!"
Great Elder Ming He smiled when he saw that Xiao Chen had come out of seclusion. Although he had not recovered to his peak, his aura was as heavy as a mountain. It was clear that he had gained a lot from this seclusion.
However, after Xiao Chen got up, he turned around and bowed to Ancestor Junmu again. "Junior thanks Senior for saving me that day!"
"No need to be so polite."
Ancestor Junmu waved his hand and said, "You are one of the few people in our Desolate Border who has had a prosperous destiny. Since tens of thousands of years ago, our Desolate Border has fallen and no true geniuses have been born. The Ancestral Court naturally has to protect you."
"Xiao Chen, sit down. The Court Lord and the Old Ancestor have been waiting for you for a long time. The other clan leaders have already returned to their respective tribes a few days ago."
Supreme Ming He indicated that Xiao Chen did not have to be so polite. As one of the most powerful tribes in the Desolate Border, the Ancestral Court naturally had a different treatment.
"Now that you have inherited the destiny of our Desolate Border's Human Race and fought against the Blood Race, it can be said that you are fighting for our Desolate Border. Lord King has also issued an edict. This time, our Ancestral Court will fully support your Gu Yuan Tribe."
As soon as Venerable Ming He finished speaking, Divine Marquis Zi Yang immediately said, "I've just arrived at the Desolate Border. I didn't expect a human race to cross over and cause such a setback."
"Recently, I've also received news from the Human Race's Ancestral Court. This time, the Blood Race's Karmic Blood Sacrifice in our Desolate Border isn't as simple as you think. It's a conspiracy!"
There was a hint of seriousness in Marquis Ziyang's words, which Xiao Chen also sensed. He could not help but guess that there were other secrets that he did not know about.
"This time, you are representing the Desolate Border in a bloody battle against a part of the Blood Race's will. It is not only related to the safety of our Desolate Border, but also the entire Eastern Wasteland. It is even related to the upcoming Battle of the Hundred Realms!"
Pull one hair, and the whole body will be affected!
"Yes!"
Xiao Chen's eyes were similarly cold. The Human Race's destiny was distributed across the various regions. For the entire Human Race, the loss or gain of a region's destiny might have an impact on the five regions of the Human Race, but it was not as if they could not afford to lose it.
But for the Human Race that lived in this region, it was a disaster. Even if they retreated, it was only because they had no other choice. For countless years, the Human Race had never retreated without a fight, nor had they casually given up a piece of land because they could afford to lose it. As long as it was a territory that the Human Race thrived in, they would fight for every inch of it.
And at this moment, Marquis Ziyang's words clearly meant that the Desolate Border Region's Battle of Providence was deeply related to the entire Eastern Wasteland!
