Junior sister, keep forbear for a while, I almost become invincible as soon!
Chapter 47 That Noble Person

Chapter 47: Chapter 47 That Noble Person

After losing the Eight Treasures Chicken, Zi Yan of the Saint Tao clan, though unwilling, dared not say anything. She could only trail silently behind, hoping to find an opportunity to eliminate this group of people.

Soon, they arrived in the woodland.

Watching the battle from afar, Zi Yan couldn’t help but smile. "The Divine Body truly is powerful."

After wrestling with the herd of wild boars for an hour, still spirited and vigorous, the robustness of the Divine Body’s strength was indeed incomparable to that of an ordinary Cultivator.

But what of it? This herd of wild boars was of a special breed, their speed and strength far surpassing ordinary ferocious beasts—and there were so many of them gathered here. She refused to believe the Divine Body was inexhaustible.

"Senior Sister, she’s about to collapse," a young man remarked with a smile beside her.

"A mere Divine Body, how could it compare to Senior Sister?"

"Indeed..."

"Physically strong, perhaps, but lacking in intelligence."

"Among the younger generation in the south, Senior Sister is truly the one to watch!" Several people behind her chimed in with flattery.

Listening to their praises, Zi Yan felt light as air, her lips curling into a smirk. Of course!

However, as the fight on the battlefield ahead progressed, things started to feel amiss. Had they stopped fighting? No, they hadn’t! A large number of wild boars were charging towards them, their roars thunderous and earth-shaking, the very ground quaking beneath them.

The young man’s face turned pale. "Senior Sister, let’s get out of here!"

Zi Yan was dumbfounded, having no idea what had just happened.

The three individuals engaged in the battle felt the same. Their expressions were blank as they looked towards the Wild Boar King, only to discover Chen Pingping actually sitting down and discussing matters with it.

Of course, no one was more shocked than the Eight Treasures Chicken. Born within the Wasteland and having guarded this area for many years, it was intimately familiar with the nature of these crude creatures: violent, bloodthirsty, and prone to fighting at the slightest disagreement. Perhaps only the Ancient Ferocious Beast that backed them could quiet them down. Now, there was another—this "big brother."

"Do you know the Devouring Sky Beast?"

"Are there any creatures of immense size nearby?"

"What’s the deal with that Ancient Ferocious Beast behind you?"

The Wild Boar King knew nothing about any of it. It looked bewildered. However, when the Ancient Ferocious Beast was mentioned, it almost cried, "What Ancient Ferocious Beast? There’s no such thing! That’s a powerhouse of the Royal Clan. He forced us to collect Blood Stones for him... Alas, it’s a tale of woe!"

The Wasteland, after eons of proliferation, had given rise not only to many new creatures but also to a race similar to the Human Clan: The Desolation!

They ruled the Wasteland, possessing remarkable learning and reproductive abilities, and had even developed a complete cultivation system. They also had a hierarchy: Lower Desolation Folk, Upper Desolation Folk, Royal Clan, Emperor Clan, and Ancient Races. This hierarchy was determined by the level of one’s bloodline, which served as the standard for evaluation. The Royal Clan powerhouse mentioned by the Wild Boar King possessed a shocking bloodline with innate abilities equivalent to the Divine King Realm of the Human Race.

Chen Pingping’s mouth fell slightly agape. "Why is there no record of them among the Human Clan?"

"Three hundred years ago, you wouldn’t have seen them because they’ve always remained hidden," the Wild Boar King replied.

"Why do they collect Blood Stones?" Chen Pingping inquired.

"To increase the concentration of their bloodline."

"What exactly do you mean by Bloodline Power? Are they beasts? Demons? Or mutated humans?"

The Wild Boar King explained, "I don’t know. They call themselves the Desolation, and astonishing Bloodline Power courses through their veins. Once unleashed, they possess the strength to kill foes far above their level. Moreover, the higher a Desolation’s Bloodline Power, the easier it is for them to develop innate abilities. For example... that Royal Clan powerhouse who has been exploiting us—his innate ability is Devouring."

Quite interesting, Chen Pingping thought with a smile, suddenly taking a great interest in the "Wasteland."

"This Royal Clan powerhouse is very formidable, but... several years ago, he was defeated by a human woman," said the Wild Boar King.

Everyone was bewildered.

Several years ago? The Wasteland hadn’t opened back then, had it? Chen Shixian couldn’t help but ask, "What kind of human woman?"

"Very beautiful," it replied, "like a Fairy, peerlessly elegant, wielding a snow-white Longsword."

Chen Pingping was momentarily stunned. "When she attacked, did snowflakes fall?"

The Wild Boar King looked at him. "Yes, yes, yes, that’s right."

Could it be? The Snow Sword Fairy, Wen Yuqing! His mentor. She had visited the Wasteland years ago, defeated a Royal Clan powerhouse, and left with flair. What kind of mission was she on?

Chen Pingping pondered. It seemed that whether for the sake of the Devouring Sky Beast or Wen Yuqing, he had to meet this Royal Clan powerhouse.

Shi Yi then spoke up, "What about the Blood Stone?"

WHIMPER!

The Wild Boar King looked as if it wanted to cry but had no tears. "Human Clan Cultivators, you mustn’t take the Blood Stone! If that esteemed one returns and doesn’t find it, he will surely massacre our clan!" As it spoke, it glanced at the Eight Treasures Chicken.

Shi Yi paused, stunned. Indeed, this was a problem.

Nangong Jue raised a crucial question, "Does the Blood Stone have any effect on the cultivation of the Human Clan?"

"Yes!" the Divine Body proclaimed. "But it’s of no use to ordinary Cultivators. It only works for special constitutions, Different Bodies, and Divine Bodies—like you and me."

"Oh-ho?" Nangong Jue struggled to hold back a smile. "Well, that’s just perfect then."

The Wild Boar King grew anxious. "You can’t do this! That esteemed one..."

The Divine Body waved her hand dismissively. "When will he be here?" Now that she had decided to subdue this Wild Boar King, any future troubles also had to be dealt with. And of course, she wanted the Blood Stone too.

The Wild Boar King said, "In the next two days."

The Divine Body nodded. "We’ll strike together and kill him."

The Wild Boar King was speechless.

The others rolled their eyes. "Didn’t you hear what it said? A Royal Clan powerhouse is equivalent to a Human Race Divine King. With such a huge gap in levels, how can we fight?"

"We will work together." The Divine Body’s eyes blazed with a fierce desire to fight, and her whole body exuded a strong martial aura. Then, she glanced at Chen Pingping beside her, thinking, You should make your move now, right? She speculated that Chen Pingping’s cultivation realm was at least above the eighth layer of Supreme Mystery, possibly even with one foot half-stepped over the threshold of King Tao. With such combat power, plus her own explosive power as a Divine Body and some advance preparation, they should be able to slay that Royal Clan powerhouse.

Then, the question arose, Chen Pingping thought. He merely wanted to ask a few questions, find the Devouring Sky Beast, and learn about Wen Yuqing’s whereabouts. Why kill the Royal Clan powerhouse?

Chen Pingping watched her with a baffled expression, feeling like this woman was tempting him to commit a crime.

Seeing his expression, Chen Shixian felt annoyed. "We’re a team, you don’t plan on deserting, do you?"

"You guessed it." Chen Pingping cracked a slight smile. "I have other matters to attend to; I bid you all farewell."

"Hey, hey, hey..." Chen Shixian glared with wide eyes. "You’re leaving just like that?"

"I am indeed very busy," he replied, his gaze drifting unintentionally toward the direction of the abyss, a sudden urgency welling within him. It wasn’t a connection with Guang Xiaoyu, but with Lao Huang the ox and Hei the dog... After all, he was their master; if his pets encountered great danger, he would feel a sense of unease as long as they weren’t too far away.

As for Nangong Jue...

Chen Pingping looked at him. "Junior Brother, for now, you should follow the Divine Body. I’ll return after I’ve dealt with my affairs."
