Chapter 1005

Shark Emperor True Flame!

Luo Chen was no stranger to this azure flame.

As early as when he entered the Demon-Falling Land and fought against Shark Emperor Liujun for the first time, he had faced this flame directly.

It was very wonderful, specifically aimed at the physical body of living creatures.

Especially desolate beasts!

The more sufficient the blood and Qi, the greater the power of the Shark Emperor True Flame. The blood and Qi on the enemy's body were like fuel. Once it touched the Shark Emperor True Flame, it was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, and it would not stop until it was burned clean.

Back then, Luo Chen accidentally got a trace of it, which directly forced him to break his own arm on the spot to narrowly escape the fate of being burned to ashes.

Later, Luo Chen checked the relevant classics and roughly reached a guess.

The Shark people have a long heritage in the North Sea cultivation world, but they are not actually a major force.

In ancient times, the Shark people were the food of many desolate beasts and were the objects of hunting.

By the ancient times and today, the Shark people were hunted extensively by human powerhouses because of their beautiful appearance and because their whole bodies were treasures.

Shark Emperor Liujun participated so actively in the battle to destroy the Yuan Demon Sect, which was also the effort of a clan emperor who wanted to change the plight of the race.

And this Shark Emperor True Flame was a response method made by the top powerhouses of the Shark people in ancient times to get rid of the hunting of desolate beasts.

Using the grease on the Shark people's bodies to nourish a kind of source-less fire, they cultivated it bit by bit to the fourth-rank level, specifically used to restrain desolate beasts with powerful physical bodies.

Over thousands of years, this oil lamp contained I don't know how much grease and essence blood of powerful Shark people!

Theoretically, after such a long time of cultivation and nourishment by generations of powerhouses, the Shark Emperor True Flame should have been promoted to the fifth-rank level. But in the hands of Shark Emperor Liujun, the performance was not very good.

At least from Luo Chen's current perspective, Shark Emperor Liujun did not fully exert the power of this flame.

With a thought, the oil lamp flew to Luo Chen.

He stared at the blue flame, his divine sense sinking in bit by bit.

A moment later, Luo Chen finally realized.

"No wonder!"

Xiaobai asked curiously: "Master, no wonder what?"

"No wonder Shark Emperor Liujun couldn't exert the full power of this flame." Luo Chen chuckled and pointed at the blue flame: "Thousands of years of nourishment, contaminated with the grease and essence blood of countless Shark powerhouses, there are too many wills mixed in this flame, so much so that it suppressed the birth of the fire spirit of the source-less fire itself! And with Shark Emperor Liujun's personal realm, he couldn't suppress the previous people's distracting thoughts, so naturally, he could only exert part of the power."

Xiaobai said "Oh," but the feeling was not very deep. As a ghost, she didn't like these powerful flames.

But the demon monk Kong Chan on the side didn't think so.

If the Shark Emperor True Flame really contained so many distracting thoughts that even the successor Liujun couldn't fully control it, but Luo Chen could easily suppress it, and even backfire on its master, it was enough to see how powerful Luo Chen's divine soul foundation was!

For a time, his gaze toward Luo Chen became more and more awe-inspiring.

If Luo Chen knew Kong Chan's inner thoughts, he would probably agree with part of it!

The reason why it was a part was that Luo Chen's means of suppressing the Shark Emperor True Flame were not just a powerful divine soul foundation.

There were many factors here.

First, the "Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra" that Luo Chen mainly practiced was itself the strongest fire-type cultivation technique in the world. In terms of fire control, there was none better!

Second, Luo Chen possessed two fifth-rank divine fires, Wither-Prosper and Nirvana. Even if only a trace of aura leaked, it was enough to suppress the Shark Emperor True Flame, which was not yet fifth-rank.

Finally, it had to do with Luo Chen's comprehension of the Law True Meaning, the Fire Origin!

In front of the Fire Origin, no matter how unique these source-less fires performed, their essence was ultimately fire. How dare they show off in front of him?

After briefly explaining to Xiaobai, Luo Chen held the oil lamp in one hand and rubbed his chin with the other, falling into deep thought.

Xiaobai and Kong Chan didn't dare to disturb and stood quietly on the side.

In the whistling north wind, the azure lamp flame swayed gently, emitting a misty brilliance.

Suddenly!

Luo Chen's left hand formed a sword finger, slowly pulling outward toward the star-like lamp flame.

Kong Chan let out a low cry, "Soul-Hooking Guide!"

Luo Chen glanced at him and said casually: "What is the Soul-Hooking Guide?"

Kong Chan was stunned, "Isn't what you are performing now the high-rank soul technique, Soul-Hooking Guide?"

Luo Chen's black brows trembled slightly, "This is just the Soul-Stunning Technique among low-rank spells."

Soul-Stunning Technique?

Kong Chan swallowed his saliva, feeling even more that Luo Chen's attainments in the divine soul were unfathomable.

He actually used the lowest-rank Soul-Stunning Technique to achieve the effect of the high-rank soul technique, Soul-Hooking Guide.

These were two soul techniques that looked the same but had completely different powers.

Both were for capturing souls, but the former could only achieve pulling and capturing when the enemy had no body. But the Soul-Hooking Guide could ignore the shackles of the flesh and forcibly hook out the soul of a living creature.

After Kong Chan explained, Luo Chen became interested.

"It seems you know this high-rank soul technique. Do you have the original copy of the cultivation technique with you?"

"The little monk does know this spell. It was collected by accident after the destruction of the Yuan Demon Sect, but it is only a copy."

"A copy is fine too!"

Kong Chan respectfully took out a piece of yellow skin and presented it to Luo Chen.

"Human skin paper?"

Luo Chen saw the essence of the yellow skin at a glance.

He unfolded the skin paper calmly, and the words on it immediately came into view.

After observing for a while, the movements of Luo Chen's fingertips changed slightly.

The index and middle fingers, like swords, had a slight bend, like a hook or a moon. He silently recited the spell, and his divine soul was no longer dominated by shock and pressure, but turned into charm and enticement.

With the slight trembling of his fingertips, illusory figures suddenly appeared in the azure flame.

Each figure had an excellent figure, or was tall and handsome, or elegant and slender, and the blurry faces could also see the beauty of their lifetime.

These were the top powerhouses of the Shark people in the past!

Kong Chan stood by, his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief.

Luo Chen had just obtained this "Soul-Hooking Guide" cultivation secret book, and he had actually mastered it immediately.

To what extent had his attainments in the divine soul reached?

As Luo Chen continued to cast the spell, a large number of residual distracting thoughts were hooked out from the Shark Emperor True Flame.

Gradually, the originally azure flame became deep and pure.

Even vaguely, there was a small fish phantom swaying and swimming inside.

"Come out!"

Luo Chen gave a low drink, and his Primordial Spirit suddenly integrated.

A pressure like heavenly might appeared in this area, and there were strands of power even stronger than spiritual sense traveling back and forth.

That was Divine Thought!

As Luo Chen's divine thought surged, he forcibly made the small fish condense into shape.

The next moment, the fish jumped out of the fire, and the fire waves rippled out like ripples.

Xiaobai cheered: "Congratulations to the Master for collecting another powerful flame!"

Luo Chen smiled and shook his head, "Currently, it has only removed impurities and forcibly helped it condense a fire spirit. Its rank is still at the fourth rank, far from being called powerful."

He opened his mouth and inhaled, and the blue small fish was swallowed, finally entering the Purple Mansion.

Once inside, the blue small fish deeply felt two auras stronger than it.

One was like a tree, with branches spreading.

One was like a bird, soaring and circling.

It didn't dare to disturb the two "seniors," obediently landed in the Purple Mansion, spread out layers of fire waves, formed a blue sea of fire, and disappeared inside.

The Wither-Prosper Fire Spirit turned a blind eye to this.

The Nirvana Fire Spirit was a bit eager to try, pecking lightly with its sharp beak, circling above the sea of fire.

But with the projection of a gaze, the Nirvana Fire Spirit was forced to fly away, not daring to have any more ideas about the blue small fish.

Thus, the blue small fish finally breathed a sigh of relief and had a trace of intimacy for the owner of the previous gaze.

On the glacier wasteland.

Luo Chen weighed the oil lamp in his hand and then handed it to Xiaobai.

"Take it, this can be considered a very powerful

True Tool. Although the Shark Emperor True Flame was taken away by me, the residual Shark grease on it can still trigger the Shark Emperor True Flame many times."

Xiaobai received it with surprise, "Thank you, Master, for the treasure!"

The legacy left by Shark Emperor Liujun was not just an oil lamp and a fire, but also a storage bag.

But Luo Chen was not in a hurry to count the spoils.

For him at present, the legacy of a Nascent Soul demon cultivator was just like that.

Compared to the storage bag, Luo Chen cared more about the "spirit pet" he had easily subdued.

"Demon monk Kong Chan, it is rumored that your true form is a chanting monk. Show your true form and let me see!"

Facing Luo Chen's somewhat frivolous, even contemptuous words, the demon monk Kong Chan had no dissatisfaction at all.

At the moment when Luo Chen's divine thought erupted just now, he knew why Luo Chen was so strong, strong to the point that he couldn't produce any thoughts of resistance.

This was an existence that had condensed the Primordial Spirit in advance!

And even mastered the Law True Meaning!

Coupled with the Qingyang Great Handprint that destroyed the Taisui in the previous strike, and the performance of absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy along the way.

Kong Chan swallowed his saliva.

Primordial Spirit, Law True Meaning, controlling heaven and earth spiritual energy, these characteristics were all things that only Soul Transformation great powers could possess.

Mastering one was a peerless genius.

Mastering all three, what was the difference between the young man in front of him and a Soul Transformation great power?

Boom!

A behemoth sat on the glacier wasteland.

Luo Chen looked up and saw a peculiar creature that looked like an octopus and also like a jellyfish appearing in front of him.

A shiny, round, huge bald head, facial features like a human, black spots like ring scars all over the body, and eighteen tentacles covered with cracks.

"Master, this is my true body."

As the bald head opened its mouth, the cracks on those tentacles also opened in unison, making the same sound.

Nineteen mouths spoke at the same time, the buzzing sound making people feel annoyed, as if a nagging monk was constantly chanting.

"This is the origin of the name 'Chanting Monk'!"

Luo Chen smiled and waved his hand.

"You'd better transform into a human form, the true body is really a bit ugly."

Amidst the demon aura, the huge chanting monk dissipated instantly, turning into Kong Chan's withered body.

He stood respectfully in front of Luo Chen with his hands down, not looking like the great demon emperor who once ran rampant in the North Sea at all.

Luo Chen took a step, his eyes shining with golden light, and walked toward a direction of the Yuan Demon Sect.

While walking, he asked Kong Chan about the demon race casually.

Especially the specific situation of the destruction of the Yuan Demon Sect back then.

"That battle was the North Li Great Sage and the Sea Emperor Whale Ancestor joining forces to fight against the Soul Refining

Ancestor, breaking his physical body, and even his Primordial Spirit was scattered by the Sea Emperor Whale Ancestor. Before the Soul Refining Ancestor died, he scattered his Primordial Spirit and set up a large array to trap us in Yemo Heaven for hundreds of years."

"As for the Yuan Demon Ancestor of the Yuan Demon Sect, the battlefield was not on our side at that time, and I don't know who was fighting him."

"I only remember that a wisp of golden flame leaked from that battlefield, taking away millions of powerhouses of the human and demon races."

Luo Chen's footsteps paused.

"Golden flame?"

Kong Chan nodded, then as if remembering something, his eyes showed surprise and uncertainty.

The means Luo Chen used to kill the corpse giant in the blood lake earlier seemed to be a kind of golden flame.

Could it be...

Luo Chen's eyes flickered. Some guesses from back then were finally confirmed at this moment.

The dignified Yuan Demon Sect was actually destroyed by the demon beasts they had suppressed for three thousand years. The inside story was indeed not simple.

Inside, Qixia Yuanjun personally took action!

Destroying the Yuan Demon, burying the Ming Abyss, caused the strength of the two major continents of North Sea and East Wasteland to be empty, attracting the Tianyuan Dao Sect to send troops to occupy them.

Her ultimate goal was actually the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

And later, Qixia Yuanjun did indeed kill her way into the Central Continent personally.

But why didn't Qixia Yuanjun take action against the Western Desert and the Southern Frontier?

No!

Perhaps it was not that she didn't take action.

The Western Desert Buddha Land was alert and closed the Hanging Temple in advance, and only opened the mountain gate after the Central Continent collapsed.

And in those years, the demon race in the Western Desert also moved out, which led to the dispatch of troops by the Tianyuan Dao Sect.

As for the Southern Frontier?

With Youli Divine Monarch sitting in town, even someone as strong as Qixia Yuanjun couldn't rashly kill her way to the mountain gate.

However, the Tianyuan Dao Sect did indeed send people to the Southern Frontier later, leading to the emptiness of the Central Continent's strength, which was taken advantage of by Qixia Yuanjun.

"Qixia Yuanjun was so painstaking, creating excellent conditions for her to attack the Central Continent. What was the purpose?"

"According to intelligence, the final battlefield of that battle in the Central Continent was Heaven and Earth Peak, and Heaven and Earth Peak had one of the three treasures of the Dao Sect, the Star Gate, sitting in town."

"After Heaven and Earth Peak collapsed, the Star Gate organization fell apart. It is rumored that even the Spirit Treasure Star Gate went missing."

"Could it be that Qixia Yuanjun's ultimate goal was to seize the Star Gate?"

Luo Chen thought carefully, and even his footsteps slowed down a lot.

No sound came from his ears, and he reminded: "Continue, talk about the recent attacks of the North Sea demon race on the three continents of the Tianyuan Dao Sect."

Kong Chan didn't dare to neglect and told what he knew one by one.

"I don't know much about this matter either, I only know it was the order of the two ancestors."

"Some people guess it is to avenge the hatred of the Tianyuan

Dao Sect intervening in the North Sea battle over the past hundred years and obstructing the demon race from unifying the North Sea cultivation world."

"But from the little monk's point of view, the intensity of the retaliation is not high, at least powerhouses at the Great Demon Emperor level did not participate."

Luo Chen blinked and stopped in front of a mountain that remained more than half intact.

The order of the two ancestors of the North Sea?

This might have something to do with Li Canghai.

He didn't think any further. At least now Li Canghai was his ally.

An ally's ally might not be an ally, but before there was a real conflict of interest, it couldn't be counted as an enemy.

"You go back!"

"Continue to sit in Taohai City, don't let anyone break into Yemo Heaven and disturb my cultivation."

Kong Chan nodded, but hesitated before leaving.

"Master, the fifth-rank spirit vein of Yemo Heaven was scattered in the battle back then, and it is not suitable for breaking through the Soul Transformation realm."

Luo Chen smiled. He was not going to break through the Soul Transformation stage here.

It was just that the amount of Nine Heavens Xiao Qi collected in his hand was large, and he could carry out the next stage of refining.

As a fifth-rank sword cultivation technique, the "Thousand Xiao Ten Thousand Transformation Sword Sutra" at the master level could already deal with a Soul Transformation strike in his hands, but Luo Chen was not satisfied.

Only Great Perfection could truly threaten a Soul Transformation great power!

Luo Chen didn't explain too much and waved his hand, signaling Kong Chan to leave.

After this place was completely quiet, Luo Chen walked step by step along the broken mountain body toward the waist platform that had been cut off by a sword.

Along the way, he occasionally cast out array flags and personally took action to comb the flow of the earth veins.

Three days later.

When Luo Chen's footsteps stepped on the flat mountainside.

The fourth-rank spirit vein deep in this mountain had been combed almost enough and could provide Luo Chen with considerable spiritual energy.

With a casual throw.

Thump!

The Nine Heavens Urn stood steadily on the ground.

Luo Chen sat cross-legged, pinched a sword formula, and opened his mouth to inhale.

Immediately, a wisp of purple Xiao Qi flew out from the black urn, was inhaled into his body, and the magic power circulation began to refine it rapidly.

As if sensing it, the condensed Thousand Xiao Sword Seed also began to rotate.
