Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

After Bloodbath had used self-detonation to explode his body and committed suicide rather than letting Ling Chen absorbed his blood and life essence, the energy shockwave of his Peak Martial Venerable realm was so strong that he had blasted Ling Chen hundreds of meters away before he could stabilize himself.

After the explosion had dissipated and Ling Chen had finally stabilized himself, he stood in the air while looking at the direction where Bloodbath had self detonated with an ugly look on his face.

At this moment, his clothes were completely drenched in blood. His long robe which was white as snow has now turned crimson red. There were also mangled bits of flesh on his face as well as on his shoulder.

Furthermore, he also got injured due to the immense explosion and the energy shockwave caused by Bloodbath self-detonating who was a peak Martial Venerable realm warrior. Though it wasn't heavy or life-threatening, he still got injured by the explosion.

While a peak Martial Venerable self-detonation would have killed most late Martial Venerable realm warrior, it wasn't the case for Ling Chen.

And Bloodbath also knew that. He knew that the power of his self-detonation was useless against Ling Chen after witnessing his heaven-defying self-recovery ability earlier during the day.

As such, he didn't use self-detonation in an attempt to take Ling Chen down with him but rather to save himself from the immense pain of having his blood and life essence drained by Ling Chen.

He also had his pride. As a peak warrior that had instilled fear into the hearts of countless people throughout the Heaven Desolate Region as well as his other hidden status in the Yan Empire, if he had to die in the hand of an enemy then it would be in his own term.

His only regret was the fact that he had let greed blind him which hindered him to grasp the immense danger that Ling Chen posed not only to the Yan Empire but also to the whole Great Luo world itself.

Though Ling Chen respected and admired Bloodbath for his steel resolve to kill himself by self-detonating rather than being absorbed by him, he was still furious.

Furious because the fruit of his hard labor had gone to waste right before his very eyes. He has spent so much energy and time to get Bloodbath and his group where he wanted, and everything was going great until that bastard decided to blow himself up, wasting a good amount of blood and life essence.

"What a waste!" He murmured to himself as his hand that was transformed into a long dark scythe returned to normal and his dark energy receded within his body like a tidal wave.

"Ohh well, at least it wasn't all for nothing." Ling Chen consoled himself.

Earlier this morning, he was only an early-stage Martial Venerable realm warrior, but now he's already late-stage Martial Venerable realm warrior after absorbing the blood and life essence of the two Martial Sovereign realm warriors and three Martial Venerable realm warriors.

In just one day, he had broken through two minor realms which were something that would have normally take a regular warrior at least four to five decades to accomplish.

The higher one realm was, the harder it was for one to breakthrough. Unlike a 1st class warrior and below, the amount of energy and time needed for a peak class warrior such as a Martial Sovereign and above just to breakthrough a minor realm or stage was extremely immense. Yet, Ling Chen made it seemed so easy by breaking though two minor realms in less than twenty-four hours.

If any news about either him killing Bloodbath or breaking through two minor stages of the Martial Venerable realm in just one day got out , it would cause a huge storm throughout the whole Heaven Desolate Region. In fact, just the news about him being a late-stage Martial Venerable realm while he was only ten and a half years old would be enough to shake the entire Heaven Desolate Region.

Aside from breaking through two minor realms in just one day, Ling Chen had also gained a new ability.

He was somehow able to instantly exchange places with his dark tree roots. It wasn't like teleportation but more like a substitution. He had the ability to substitute himself with his dark tree roots.

Though this ability sounded cool and powerful, it also had its restriction. For instance, he could only substitute himself with one dark tree root per day, and that dark tree roots must be within the scope of his spiritual sense in order for it to work. Which means, there was no way for him to substitute himself with a dark tree root that's countless miles away. He must be able to sense it with his spiritual sense in order for it to work.

Furthermore, the dark tree roots must come from the dark tree inside his lower dantian which was nothing but an endless dark void.

Though this ability also looked cool and convenient, Ling Chen didn't plan on using it often, and the reason for that was very simple, Ling Chen's power came from the dark tree within his lower dantian as well as his upper-dantian. Even though it might seem minimal to point of being negligible, every time Ling Chen cut a piece of dark tree roots within his lower-dantian or someone cut a piece of his dark tree root while he used his power, his power would reduce by a drop. Even though it was just like taking a drop of water within an immense river, it was still a reduction.

Furthermore, there were still many things that he didn't know yet, such as the lasting effect of that power and the cutting of the dark tree roots within his lower-dantian.

"It's time to go back, that lass Hu'er and Fang Lan are probably worrying sick about me." Ling Chen said, taking another look around to see whether the hall master that had escaped was nearby before he turned into a streak of dark red light and disappeared above the sky of Poisonous Cloud Mist Forest.
