Dragon Blooded War God

Wu Guangyu let go of his previous worries. After some thought, it made sense. He could tell at a glance that the guy that had come out was only at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage at most. How could a weakling sully an Eighth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator who had a divine weapon like the Shapeless Whip?

Could an ant sully an elephant?

Of course not.

So Wu Guangyu let go of his concerns and did not blame Feng Zhilin anymore. But there was one thing. The Wind and Divine clans were part of the same faction, so the stronger Feng Zhilin was, the more beneficial she was to him. Feng Zhilin initially had the great potential of becoming a superstrong cultivator, and she even had a chance to be on the same level as himself. It was a pity that she had missed this chance.

It was an amazing opportunity to get both the Martial God Tombstone and the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance, yet it had been snatched away by an unknown figure. What a pity!

Although Wu Guangyu did not speak, he mocked her in his heart. Other than Mother, it is indeed true that very few females are competent at all. I initially had high hopes for Feng Zhilin, but it looks like she’s a complete idiot. It was such a good opportunity, yet it was snatched away by a Third Earthly Martial Stage weakling.

After Feng Zhilin was silent for a while, she said, “That guy. You know him. You’ve met him before.”

“I’ve met him before?” Now it was Wu Guangyu’s turn to be stunned. Exasperated, he asked, “Where would I have met such a weak cultivator? Are you joking?”

Then he laughed.

Feng Zhilin did not laugh. She looked past him at Xiaolang, then she smirked coldly and said, “I’m not joking. You snatched this demonic wolf away from him. Didn’t you also let him run away?”

After Wu Guangyu heard her, a person popped into his mind. He’d long forgotten about him. When Feng Zhilin mentioned it, he finally recalled Long Chen and was immediately shocked. What Feng Zhilin had said was hard to believe.

“That brat was him? How is it possible that he had the ability to pull that off? Impossible, impossible …”

“Hehe. And he even said that he’ll take revenge on you one day.” Feng Zhilin paused. Her brows were furrowed as she walked, then she said, “He has the Profound Golden Soul, so he can burrow through the ground in the Metal District. The moment he goes above ground or enters another district, he won’t be able to run. The Metal District is almost entirely considered the Wind clan’s territory. I’m going back to Giant Metal City. I’ll ask my grandfather to summon all the men and horses of the Wind clan to search for Long Chen. Since you’ve just arrived and you don’t have any matters at hand, come help me take back the Martial God Tombstone and the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance!

Wu Guangyu was still in shock. He recalled what Long Chen once said to him. At the time, he thought of it as a joke, but now he saw that this guy had extraordinary luck and mental fortitude. If he really got hold of the Martial God Tombstone and the inheritance, perhaps he would actually become a problem to him.

With that thought, Wu Guangyu clenched his fists and cried, “I’m definitely helping you. After we find him, I’ll kill him personally!”

“No, I will chop him to pieces, then spread his ashes!” Feng Zhilin gave a look of seething hatred.

Behind them, Xiaolang gave a faint smile.

These two idiots!

***

Using the Profound Golden Soul, Long Chen burrowed into the ground once more. He was overwhelmed with emotion after seeing Wu Guangyu and Xiaolang. He was feeling a bit relieved after he saw that Xiaolang was still safe and that Wu Guangyu had been tricked by Xiaolang into thinking that Xiaolang was loyal to him. On the day Long Chen returned stronger, Wu Guangyu would learn just how stupid he was for wasting his resources on making Xiaolang stronger.

Despite that, Long Chen was unable to relax. He knew that Xiaolang was’t enjoying following Wu Guangyu around. If it was not for the fact that Wu Guangyu was too powerful, he would have long returned to Long Chen. That was why Long Chen felt huge pressure. He knew that he had to become much stronger so that Feng Zhilin and Wu Guangyu would see who got the last laugh.

If he wanted to become stronger, he would need to find soul-nourishing herbs to heal and rejuvenate his injured Martial Soul. Then he could work towards a higher goal.

The metal sand is everywhere in the Metal District. It’s probably very difficult for herbs to grow here. That is why divine weapons and treasures are more commonly found here. The Wood District likely has many spiritual herbs.

I have gotten the Profound Golden Soul, and Feng Zhilin will not give up on the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance and the Martial God Tombstone easily. She probably thinks I will stay in the Metal District, but for the sake of spiritual herbs, I must go to the Wood District. Good luck searching for me!

His new goal was the Wood District.

After making his decision, Long Chen went towards the Wood District. When he noticed that his surroundings were no longer metal sand, but fertile black soil, he knew he had arrived. The Profound Golden Soul was useless to him now as it could not make him move any faster. He no longer had the advantage that helped him flee from Feng Zhilin and the others. Therefore, Long Chen returned to the surface once more.

He was very famous in the Metal District but guessed that very few would recognize him in the Wood District. It was a vast area with only about two thousand people. Among them were about three to four hundred people from the Nine Great Clans, while the rest were regular cultivators. Long Chen was currently at the Third Earthly Martial Stage, which was considered the weakest level among the regular cultivators. The previous bout of Blood Sacrifice had knocked him back down to his initial state.

Thankfully, with the Martial God Tombstone and the Seven Star Lord’s inheritance, he could quickly grow stronger. Long Chen started his search for spiritual herbs in the lush Wood District. In a nutshell, the Metal District was filled with cold metal, while the Wood District was filled with trees and beautiful, lush scenery. This was exactly what Long Chen liked.

Feng Zhilin will probably take several days to realize that I so bravely left for the Wood District. By then, I will be deep into the Wood District. There are five districts in the Ancient Graveyard and she doesn’t know my Martial Soul is injured, so how would she know that I would enter the Wood District? There are probably gathering points like Iron Cities here. I need to search for them and see if anyone has soul nourishing herbs and is willing to trade with me.

Long Chen trekked deeper into Wood District.

It had been more than two months since he arrived in the Ancient Graveyard. Most people were scattered in various corners of the Ancient Graveyard, searching for treasures. Unless he went to cities like the Iron Cities, it would be difficult to meet anyone.

There were many demonic beasts in the Wood District, but Long Chen had the Soul Swallowing Gaze, so he could easily avoid them. Many were Category Six and Seven King-tier beasts, even as high as Category Eight!

If ordinary cultivators without the Soul Swallowing Gaze approached them recklessly, they would surely die. Long Chen could travel safely because of it.

Nothing with a soul could escape his sight.

Long Chen spotted a Category Three King-tier demonic beast just five hundred meters away. It was not strong enough to be a threat to him, so he approached bravely. When he did, he was astonished to find that the beast was an ancient tree that stood tall on the ground.

I never thought that a plant could also undergo demonification to become a demonic beast. Long Chen peered at it curiously. In some obscure parts of the tree, he spotted the beast’s eyes, ears, and other body parts. These features were a little different from those of humans and other demonic beasts, but in general, it had everything an ordinary beast had.

It looks like this is just a demonic beast with plant skin. Internally, it’s basically the same as other demonic beasts.

Demonic beasts at the King-tier and above could take on a human form. Long Chen waited for a while and saw the ancient tree suddenly turn into a human. It was ugly in human form, with many tree-like features. Even its hair was made of green leaves. It looked both grotesque and cartoonish.

There really are all sorts of oddities in this world, mused Long Chen.

Little Cat chuckled and said, “You know too little. You think demonic beasts are just powerful wild beasts. You don’t know that one of the Three Royal Territories, the Desolate Royal Territory, is completely controlled by demonic beasts, though they call themselves the demon race! The demon race is a terrifying race to you. There are ten thousand species and they all have their own talents. In theory, the Desolate Royal Territory is actually the most powerful of the three. The other two Royal Territories are ruled over by humans, while the Desolate Royal Territory only has demonic beasts. The other two Royal Territories have not been able to achieve unity, yet the demon race independently rules over an area. Do you understand how extraordinary that is?”

“Desolate Royal Territory?” Long Chen was surprised. He had never heard of this before. After demonic beasts reached the King-tier, they could take on a human form, thus calling themselves the demon race. Almost all the demonic beasts in the Desolate Royal Territory could take human form. The stronger they were, the more they resembled humans.

“Just like this tree. In the Desolate Royal Territory, there is a very powerful type of beast called the Ancient Life Tree race. They have a certain immortal quality, wherein they can come back to life despite being chopped into multiple sections. Legends say that the Ancient Life Tree race possesses the blood of one of the Ten Ancestral Dragons, the Dragon of Life and Creation, in their veins …”

Long Chen started to look forward to getting there. He could tell that that was the largest stage there was in the whole Dragon Continent, where the demon and human races fought for power. Millions of races were present there. Those who gathered at the Three Royal Territories were the true masters!
