Chapter 1814 (Raw 1826): Unchanging Character
Two-thirds of the Blood Spirit Flowers remained.
That was at least a thousand Blood Spirit Flowers—which meant that the Demon Blood Vulture consumed at least five-hundred-odd Blood Spirit Flowers.
When Xiao Chen realized this, he could not help being dumbfounded. That Demon Blood Vulture was really going to stuff itself to death.
---
In reality, the Demon Blood Vulture fleeing in the distance was already suffering from the consequences of this.
Its enormous body had started burning up like it was on fire.
All of the Demon Blood Vulture’s feathers were going up in flames, making it want to cry despite not having the tears to do so. However, there was still a gargantuan snake relentlessly chasing it.
The Demon Blood Vulture did not have any time to digest and absorb all the Demonic Qi in peace.
---
On the small island, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. There were so many Blood Spirit Flowers. He really did not know what to do with them.
If he picked them all and sold them, he would naturally earn a huge profit.
However, just selling the Blood Spirit Flowers would be such a waste.
Perhaps these Blood Spirit Flowers before Xiao Chen were his greatest fortuitous encounter in the Great Thousand Realms.
If he absorbed all the Demonic Qi in these Blood Spirit Flowers, he would be able to break through to the Starry Sky Stage without a doubt.
If his accumulations all erupted, he would turn extremely horrifying.
Xiao Chen’s only worry was that he already had half a foot in the Demonic Dao. If he absorbed the Blood Spirit Flowers before him, there would really be no turning back.
This would test whether his understanding of the Demonic Dao was right or wrong.
The so-called Demonic Dao referred to pride that refused to submit to fate and heaven, unyielding and not conforming to the old ways, never submitting to heaven!
As long as one’s character did not change, the Demonic Dao was just a means.
As far as Xiao Chen knew, the current Demonic Dao sects’ understanding was entirely different.
For the sake of accomplishing their goals, the Demonic Dao sect did not care about what they did, killing the innocent. They abandoned their character and did as they pleased without restraint.
One guarded one’s heart and did not change one’s character; the other abandoned their character, leaving their desires to run rampant.
Both were the Demonic Dao, both showed disdain for the rules, both did not submit to heaven. However, they were fundamentally different.
Xiao Chen’s gaze flickered. After a while, he made his decision.
He believed in himself, believed that the Demonic Dao he understood was the true meaning of the founder’s Demonic Dao.
If that was the case, then entering the Demonic Dao was not inconsistent with his character.
There was no need to hesitate at all, fearing the power that these Blood Spirit Flowers brought.
After Xiao Chen made up his mind, his eyes immediately turned extremely clear, bright with a vague light flickering.
Just as he prepared to take action, he raised his eyebrows and quickly moved back, rapidly leaving his position.
Xiao Chen saw an enormous snake appear from among the Blood Spirit Flowers, landing at where he had been.
“Rumble…!”
The entire island shook intensely as if it would collapse at any moment.
To think that there was another large snake.
Xiao Chen felt some shock. If not for his quick reaction, he would have been crushed to death.
The scarlet-patterned snake before Xiao Chen was much smaller than the earlier gargantuan snake.
He did not know if it was just of the same species or the child of the previous one. The Demon Blood Vulture had already lured away a terrifyingly huge snake, yet there was another one hidden.
Fortunately, the aura of this scarlet-patterned snake was much weaker than that of the earlier one, only about middle-stage Star Venerate.
However, this snake would still not be easy to deal with, judging by the scarlet patterns of its skin. Who knew how much it had been strengthened and how shocking its defense was?
Since the scarlet-patterned snake apparently intended to attack, Xiao Chen roared furiously and took the initiative to charge over.
He circulated the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation at full power, and eight stars on his Primal Core immediately lit up. Two Dao disks appeared behind him. His Veritable Essence Energy filled the area. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, many terrifying mysterious phenomena appearing in the sky.
Saber lights flickered endlessly in the surroundings, turning into a saber wind containing Xiao Chen’s saber intent, howling noisily.
His cultivation was lower. Hence, when facing such a ferocious beast, he had no leeway for restraint.
Xiao Chen could only gain victory amid danger if he used his full power and did not hold back.
With the support of two Great Dao Energies, his Veritable Essence Energy reached his limits. At the same time, he also circulated his Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art.
Xiao Chen’s body crackled, and a layer of Dragon Might covered his body, forming invisible Divine Dragon armor.
“Breaking Mountains and Rivers, Breaking Stars, Breaking the World!”
Xiao Chen immediately attacked with the Army Breaking Saber Technique’s three strongest moves. It was like him using a supreme might, facing a large army alone.
He sent out a saber light, initially using Breaking Mountains and Rivers. Next, Breaking Stars brought down boundless starlight. Then, the final saber light descended.
Xiao Chen advanced courageously, his heart clear, with only the domineeringness and courage to destroy the world.
A piercing, metallic sound rang out. Countless lightning bolts flashed in the sky with countless strands of saber Qi.
The saber Qi weaved about the scarlet-patterned snake’s skin relentlessly, leaving streaks of horrifying wounds.
However, the scarlet-patterned snake’s strike, which contained overwhelming Demonic Might, also landed on Xiao Chen. Bearing the brunt of the attack, he went flying.
Demonic Qi surged in the sky, and the clouds changed color.
The black demonic clouds became dyed scarlet, looking like blood. The scarlet-patterned snake went berserk.
At this moment, the enormous snake was enraged. Originally, it thought that its first strike would catch Xiao Chen off guard and kill an ant like him.
Who knew, this antlike existence actually erupted with such terrifying strength. This was truly unexpected.
The defense that the enormous snake was proud of was inadequate before the opponent’s strength, which was supported by two layers of Great Dao Energy. The bloody demonic clouds were dyed red by the blood that shot out of its body.
Xiao Chen wiped away the blood at the corners of his lips. Then, he revealed a cold smile. Want to eat me? It’s not that easy!
Kill!
After Xiao Chen managed to break the opponent’s defense with one strike, his confidence soared. Then, he formed the Seven Kill Seal and charged over again.
The tide-like, surging killing intent inspired fear in the scarlet-patterned snake, a ferocious beast that had eaten countless people.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
One man and one snake started an intense battle.
What was surprising was that the seemingly insignificantly human with a clearly much weaker aura actually held a suppressive advantage over the scarlet-patterned snake in terms of momentum.
The scariest thing was the human’s killing intent. It made the scarlet-patterned snake quail several times as it started to lose the will to fight with such a ruthless person.
The scarlet-patterned snake wanted to wait for its father to return to deal with this ruthless person.
However, Xiao Chen detained it. After infuriating him, how could he let the snake leave as it pleased?
After resolving the heart for the mundane, all that is left is eternity!
“Go and die!”
Xiao Chen was like a war god that descended from heaven. He poured out the Veritable Essence Energy in his Primal Core without holding anything back as an eternal saber light surged out, making that eternal saber light look much more resplendent and dazzling.
He executed his strongest saber strike, and his saber intent soared into the sky.
At this moment, a hole opened in the thick demonic clouds in the sky, and a column of light descended and bathed Xiao Chen in radiance.
“Ka ca!”
When the saber light fell, it chopped the scarlet-patterned snake in half. All signs of life immediately vanished.
Xiao Chen clutched his saber as he fell to one knee, panting slightly.
After risking his life fighting for four hours, he finally killed this middle-stage Star Venerate ferocious beast by himself.
However, it was still hard for him to bear. His clothes were tattered and torn.
His long hair was in disarray, and no part of his body remained uninjured. The scarlet-patterned snake’s toxins had corroded his skin, making it a sorry sight.
The scariest injury was Xiao Chen’s right shoulder, where the scarlet-patterned snake had bitten off a huge chunk, leaving bare bones.
Had he not cultivated dragon bones, his bones would have been crushed, immediately reducing him to a half-dead state.
Xiao Chen consumed a Medicinal Pill for treating injuries that Ye Zifeng had given him. Then, he circulated the Divine Dragon Body Tempering Art and quickly saw to his wounds.
Although he still had some trump cards left unused, he was tired to death.
Any random Star Venerate could kill him.
After fifteen minutes, Xiao Chen’s superficial injuries had just recovered. He immediately opened his eyes.
Although this small island was rather remote, it was not a place where he could treat his injuries in peace.
Xiao Chen stood up shakily and extracted the snake gall from the scarlet-patterned snake’s corpse. The bright-red snake gall gave off an aura identical to the Blood Spirit Flower’s. In fact, it was even denser.
This snake gall contained the cultivation essence of this enormous mutated snake. It was much more valuable than the Blood Spirit Flowers.
The remaining parts of the snake’s body were also good stuff and should not be wasted.
Xiao Chen skinned the snake, then cut up its body into more than a hundred parts and tossed them into his storage ring. Then, he collected the scarlet-patterned snake’s skin.
After he did all that, his gaze landed on the patch of Blood Spirit Flowers.
The shock waves from the earlier battle had swept through the thousand-odd Blood Spirit Flowers.
Aside from a few hundred perfectly intact ones, the rest were mushed up on the ground, which was truly a pity.
However, Xiao Chen got the scarlet-patterned snake’s snake gall in return. It was worth it.
The intense battle with the scarlet-patterned snake did not change Xiao Chen’s decision. Instead, it made him even more determined.
I am me. Even if I fall into the Demonic Dao, my heart will never change. I will still be the white-clad bladesman with a heart of innocence.
