Chapter 1055: Chapter 1038: Responding to the Call Searching for Divine Material

The violent blood energy surged incessantly into Xiao Chen’s shattered shoulder bone; accompanied by a tingling sensation, the fragmented bone reassembled, yet he found himself once again excluded.

Only the true upper echelons of the human race could be considered kings, helmsmen in charge of various affairs, vested with the authority to make decisions on major issues affecting the race. The many Half-Kings across the Human World were definitely not in short supply, but they were never quite kings.

Helmsmen, chess players, and he was still but a chess piece.

Saying Xiao Chen lacked the qualifications could be one reason; in truth, there was another. It wasn’t a deliberate slight against him. Firstly, his strength was too weak. If he were aware of the human high command’s plans and were captured by another race by accident, exposing his memories, it would deal an incalculable blow to the following human forces.

These old fellows truly valued strength, not that they intentionally targeted him. Once one reached their level, one would naturally integrate into their circle.

Or perhaps you possess a powerful bloodline inheritance, which Xiao Chen completely lacked. A Gu Yuan Tribe that rose from weakness to its current state—where would it find such heritage and foundation!

Despite his rise to the current level of strength and status over the years, bestowed the title of Divine Marquis and granted a feudal territory, he was still too tender in the eyes of these age-old kings!

Xiao Chen was aware of all these, and he understood more profoundly the importance of strength. If being a Half-King was not enough, then he would climb to the status of king; and if being a king was still insufficient, then he would ascend even higher peaks!

Soon within the floating island, only Xiao Chen, King Bi Xi, and King Chiwen remained—King Bi Xi serving as the commander of the Human Race Warriors from the Eastern Wasteland South Region.

King Chiwen, on the other hand, was part of the human hidden forces. Even now, as the Hollow Void Battlefield became ever more bloody, the War Masters under King Chiwen’s command had not yet appeared.

"Little fellow, you’ve invaded the Beast Underworld, but it’s not enough. It’s still not enough to throw the Imperial Beast Clan Warriors into complete chaos,"

King Bi Xi’s huge eyes fixed on Xiao Chen as if trying to see through him.

Of course, Xiao Chen understood their meaning. The vast and boundless Sacred Beast North District, with the Supreme Wind Clan and Rui Beast City that lay ruined, although they were peak legendary strengths, they were merely one of the five great forces under the Azure King.

Beyond these few peak legendary forces, there were still many ordinary legendary forces, and even more forces below the level of legend, countless in number.

Otherwise, how could they muster so many War Soldiers? Merely the fall of the Supreme Wind Clan and Rui Beast City was not enough to stir up all the Imperial Beast Clan Warriors!

"This junior understands. It’s just that when I learned of our human race’s debacle in the Hollow Void Blood Battle, I led the Border Wasteland Warriors by chance into the Beast Underworld. Therefore, I have come to the Hollow Void to see if there is a need for my Border Wasteland Warriors!"

Regaining his composure, Xiao Chen immediately responded aloud.

"Since the destruction of two legendary Beast Underworld forces is not enough to disrupt the Imperial Beast Clan Warriors of the Hollow Void, then I will lead the War Masters again to conquer other territories of the Imperial Beast Clan and thoroughly throw the Sacred Beast North District into chaos!"

Xiao Chen’s voice was firm and resolute, drawing sidelong glances from the two kings. As his words echoed, a silence descended upon the floating island.

"According to the Imperial Command of the Eastern Emperor Crown, this king has the authority to command all warriors within the Eastern Wasteland South Region, with the right to summon any warrior from the human territories to join the Hollow Void Battle. Now I’ve decided to conscript your Border Wasteland Warriors to partake in the Hollow Void Battle,"

Suddenly, King Bi Xi spoke, pausing before continuing, "Of course, not for the main battlefield, but as surprise troops to disrupt the Beast Underworld."

"This junior accepts the mandate!"

Xiao Chen didn’t hesitate at all. Even if King Bi Xi hadn’t conscripted them, he would still have led the Border Wasteland Warriors into the Beast Underworld. The Imperial Command was merely a formality.

Conquering the Beast Underworld naturally carried great danger, but the higher the risk, the greater the potential rewards. The original counter-invasion of the Beast Underworld was necessitated because the Void Path preserved by Gu Yuan was about to break. Rather than a passive defense, it was better to strike first.

The Void Path was always a concealed risk for the Gu Yuan Clan. With the Supreme Wind Clan destroyed, there remained the Kuiju Family and the Cang Wolf Manor; only by thoroughly stirring the Sacred Beast North District into chaos would the Border Wasteland be safe.

Since he could now aid the main confrontation at the Hollow Void Battlefield, why not do it? Moreover, establishing contact with the human high command would also benefit the Border Wasteland Region.

He came to the Hollow Void World this time with the intention of taking advantage of the situation.

The opportunity for immediate gains was not to be missed.

"Your Majesty, the vast Beast Underworld is filled with numerous strong ones. To expand our victory, the Border Wasteland Warriors alone may not be sufficient. We would need some support from Your Majesty,"

Xiao Chen once again spoke up. Since he could cooperate with the overall strategy of the Hollow Void Blood Battle, he believed that the human high command would not be stingy with some resources.

King Bi Xi did not show any surprise at his words; compared to other human territories, the Border Wasteland Region was naturally destitute. For Xiao Chen to request support in order to expand the battle gains was perfectly reasonable.

Immediately thereafter, King Bi Xi’s gaze shifted to King Chiwen. It was apparent that Xiao Chen’s request had been anticipated by the kings, who had already considered it. Even if Xiao Chen had not asked, support would have been provided.

After all, even they felt that relying on the Border Wasteland Region alone to establish a long-term foothold in the Beast Underworld was nothing but a pipe dream.

At King Bi Xi’s gesture, King Chiwen’s figure vanished within the Floating Island. When he reappeared, he threw a bronze wrist to Xiao Chen.

"This bronze wrist contains one million sets of half-spirit armor, ten thousand sets of lower-grade spirit armor, one thousand sets of middle-grade spirit armor, and their corresponding weapons. In addition, there are the appropriate bows, arrows, and a total of one hundred thousand five-element thunder talismans, including Fire Thunder and Water Thunder talismans. Each talisman, once activated, is equivalent to a hit from a venerable master!"

King Chiwen’s voice boomed like thunder, resounding beside Xiao Chen’s ear.

As Xiao Chen had speculated, even the slightest resources revealed by the top echelons of the Human Race were more than the Gu Yuan Clan could fully utilize.

The half-spirit armor was most suitable for the ordinary warriors of the Blood Refining Realm, offering several times the defense of superior armor.

As for the so-called five-element thunder talismans, they were akin to cannonballs fired from Elemental Stone Cannons, only sealed within talismans. To use them, one only needed to activate and throw them, and they would create an explosion.

"Besides this, my King Chiwen Troop will dispatch ten half-king strong ones to follow you in the conquest of the Beast Underworld."

Seeing that Xiao Chen was somewhat hesitant, King Chiwen spoke again, "Don’t worry, these half-king strong ones are the death warriors cultivated by my King Chiwen Troop. I have already ordered them to fully obey your commands, and even in moments of crisis, they will cover your retreat!"

"From this moment on, your Border Wasteland Region will be under my direct command. I hope you can bring me good news!"

King Bi Xi’s voice rang out once more, as he tossed a jade amulet shaped like the Bi Xi mythical creature to Xiao Chen.

"This King’s Secret Treasure seals a trace of my brand, infusing it with thirty percent of my power; it can last for a quarter of an hour. When you face a crisis, activate it, and it might save your life."

Good stuff.

Xiao Chen grabbed the jade amulet shaped like the Bi Xi, calculating that along with this King’s Secret Treasure, he now possessed three such treasures.

In the beginning, he had slain a direct descendant of the Blood Clan, obtaining a blood sword that was now sealed within the Mountain River Seal. Later, the Celestial Seal King gave him one, and now King Bi Xi had handed him another.

Last time, in the Hollow Void World while being hunted by a monstrous race king, he had forgotten to activate the King’s Secret Treasure in his urgency.

"Your Majesty, I have heard that the Hollow Void Battlefield has a special place for exchanging war merits. I need to exchange for some divine materials!" Having secured the Bi Xi Secret Treasure, Xiao Chen spoke up once again.

"Indeed, what divine materials do you wish to exchange? High-priced divine materials require an immense amount of war merits, and even I have to follow the rules when exchanging!"

"I need materials that can contain Blood Qi, Combat Qi, spirit energy, as well as the Five Elements and other types of divine materials—at least of middle grade!" Xiao Chen did not delay and immediately answered.

He wanted to exchange for divine materials in order to reforge the Dark Blood War Spear. Now that the Dark Blood War Spear could no longer support his strength, which was why he seldom used it.

As for the Mountain River Seal, with his current strength, it was still somewhat strenuous to use. It was a last resort to use it against enemies, as he didn’t have a suitable weapon in hand.

However, every use of the Mountain River Seal drained the divine power he had accumulated in his body. It was manageable in a life-or-death battle, but it was inevitably insufficient in ordinary combat against peers.

Moreover, he had started practicing the Divine Cultivation Technique. Although the Dark Blood War Spear could evolve on its own, there was still a gap between it and divine power.

Nevertheless, the Dark Blood War Spear was an Ancient Human Artifact, having been baptized by destiny, making it a very good spear embryo. Thus, Xiao Chen planned to search for the All-path Divine Gold, forging the Dark Blood War Spear into a true weapon of the All-path!

"I sense an aura from you that embraces the Multitude Paths of Heaven, an all-encompassing spirit that was known as All Heavenly Divine Power during the time of the Desolate Wilds. Last time you came from the Deep Void, it seems you have received the inheritance of a certain Human Race predecessor. You wish to forge a suitable weapon with divine gold, correct?"

King Bi Xi spoke, and Xiao Chen did not deny it; after all, concealing his cultivation of divine power was impossible. He wasn’t surprised that King Bi Xi knew of the Desolate God.

"Looks like another madman!" King Chiwen, however, commented with a deep voice: "In such long years of cultivation, how many have reached a proper end cultivating Divine Methods!"

Xiao Chen remained silent. Regarding Divine Methods, he had gained new insights over the days. His cultivation was uneven and imperfect, yet the Divine Cultivation Technique was like a tailor-made fit that allowed him to amalgamate his fragmented knowledge.

Perhaps the path ahead was uncertain, but for those on the path of martial cultivation, it was already an endeavor comparable to ascending to heaven. If there was no path, one had to forge their own!

Xiao Chen left the Floating Island quickly, and even he did not expect that things would go so smoothly. Although he felt a slight unease in his heart, he could not put his finger on it no matter what.

In the end, he could only shake his head and leave the Floating Island. After all, King Chiwen had supported the Border Wasteland Region with ten half-king strong ones, and he needed to claim them!
