Chapter 1355: Chapter 1311: Pepper Figure Awakening, Ghost’s Purpose!

Xiao Chen gazed at the treasure mountain before him, continually pondering how to pull it from the illusory Ancient Desolated World back to reality.

In truth, everything before his eyes exceeded his imagination.

From the era of the Wild Gods to his own Martial Arts epoch, spanning endless years, there were still afterimages lingering on, which could even turn illusion into reality. The profound mysteries involved were difficult to fathom.

Before this treasure mountain, even when he exhibited his Human Battle Body, he seemed extremely insignificant. Let alone pulling the treasure mountain out from the illusionary world, even lifting it was an extremely difficult task.

Buzz!

However, just as Xiao Chen reached out his large hand into the illusory Desolate Wilds, a voice arose from his Soul World.

"Have I returned home?"

Immediately, Xiao Chen was startled, but he quickly realized it was It!

The Dragonhorn Pepper Map!

That mysterious creature he had brought back from the Sea of Suffering World, which he had entered during the Divine Soul Tribulation in the Legendary Realm.

All this time, the soul of the young offspring of the mythical beast Pepper Map had been nourished and slept within his Soul Sea. Unexpectedly, at this moment, it had awakened.

"This is not your home, but merely an afterimage of the Ancient Desolated Era," replied Xiao Chen, having come to his senses.

"Yet the aura here is so familiar to me; it feels like my home," a somber voice rose once more, obviously Pepper Map realized that everything it felt was false.

Wait a minute!

But in the next moment, Xiao Chen abruptly realized something and blurted out, "You said this is your home?"

"Yes, this is my home," the low voice answered again.

Xiao Chen was startled, realizing that Pepper Map didn’t understand the implication of his words—his ’home’ referred to the specific region where Pepper Map had lived, not the entire Desolate Wilds.

Yet Pepper Map’s next words greatly surprised Xiao Chen.

"Yes, this is my home, I remember having been here before."

What!

In this moment, Xiao Chen felt somewhat disordered, even shocked, starting to doubt and becoming suspicious. He quickly reviewed past events in his mind.

He had entered the Sea of Suffering World in the Nine Heavens due to the Divine Cultivation Technique, brushed with a trace of divine power, which drew out Pepper Map from its hidden place in the Sea of Suffering, which he later brought out of the Sea of Suffering World.

And now, having cultivated to this day, he had triggered the remnant illusions of the Desolate Land, awaking Pepper Map. Was all of this mere coincidence, or was there a Great Power guiding it!

"Are you truly certain, do you have an impression of what this mountain range nearby looks like?" Xiao Chen persisted, still unwilling to give up. The Desolate Land was vast, with countless mountain ranges stretching as far as the eye could see, all looking similar.

"Although I entered the Sea of Suffering World for reasons unbeknownst to me in my youth and my memories are not too plentiful, I am an offspring of the gods, and my memories cannot be mistaken. I have been to this land before, and moreover, it is not far from my father’s Divine Mansion."

Xiao Chen let out a long breath, pushing down the turbulence in his heart, since Pepper Map spoke thus, it must be true!

"Is your home far from here?" asked Xiao Chen, now calm.

"Not far, my father took me there in the blink of an eye."

At once, Xiao Chen stumbled. Although he did not know how powerful Pepper Map’s father was, there was no need to imagine the strength of a deity. What might be simple for a deity was not necessarily so for him.

"Can you... can you take me back to see your home?" he asked suddenly.

Instantly, Pepper Map spoke with slight nervousness, and Xiao Chen could feel its tremor.

"Okay!"

Although Xiao Chen did not know what existence had drawn him into the earth and seemed to be just a segment of an afterimage, since he had arrived, he had to see what it truly was.

He had encountered the Desolate God, and now even this young Pepper Map had emerged. There were some things he needed to clarify.

"Arise!"

The next moment, Xiao Chen’s fists fell upon the treasure mountain, and a roaring burst forth. The treasure mountain trembled fiercely, with rocks tumbling down.

Suddenly, atop the treasure mountain, numerous Medicinal Immortals, Ginseng Babies, and Spirit Medicine Spirits, as if facing a formidable enemy, burst into clusters of spirit mist and retreated into their own essences.

All of this appeared as a realistic scene, leaving Xiao Chen somewhat dazzled.

Roar!

Suddenly, an illusory dragon’s chant transmitted into Xiao Chen’s head, and an illusory dragon’s shadow flickered. This was a dragon completely formed from the convergence of spiritual energy.

Heavenly Earth Spiritual Veins!

Just as Xiao Chen surmised, to produce such abundant Spirit Items and Spirit Medicines, there must be a Spiritual Vein present. This Spiritual Vein had already manifested Dragon Horns, Dragon Claws, each Dragon Scale the size of a hundred yards.

This indicated that the grade of this Heavenly Earth Spiritual Vein was not low, classified by the Martial Arts era standards, it was at least of King level.

"Seal!"

The next moment, Xiao Chen’s body flashed with nine-colored divine force, and he continuously grabbed at the Spiritual Vein, producing a nine-colored talisman in the Void with each motion.

Hum hum hum!

One after another, the nine-colored talismans connected, covering the entire Dragon body’s surroundings in an inexplicable mystery that linked them all together.

Roar!

The Spiritual Vein erupted with a roar once again, shattering dozens of nine-colored talismans, but Xiao Chen’s moves were faster; almost in every instant, hundreds of talismans were cast.

He connected all of the Spiritual Vein’s Dragon body surroundings into one piece, forming a dense net that enclosed it.

Even as the Dragon Vein struggled more, the net of nine-colored talismans became tighter and even squeezed into the gaps between the Dragon Scales, with a surge of rich spiritual energy bursting forth.

"Come out for me!"

The next moment, Xiao Chen grabbed the net with his large hands, dragging the Dragon of the Spiritual Vein in front of him.

Hum!

Divine power erupted from his body like a boiling volcano, and his hands tightly grasped the nine-colored net, with deep marks appearing on his palms.

The Spiritual Vein continued struggling, desperately pulling backwards, even wanting to drag Xiao Chen back into the Desolate Era.

...

Boom boom boom!

Outside, in the surging Chaotic Airflow of the sky, thunder suddenly blasted, and lightning in the shape of silver dragons instantly illuminated a piece of the Void.

The Chaotic Airflow trembled, the phantom of the Ancient Desolated World that appeared at the pinnacle of the Sky Vault rippled slightly, and dragon roars echoed, crossing ancient and modern space and bellowing between heaven and earth.

This sudden turn of events caught the attention of the surrounding Human Clan’s monarchs.

Even the Ghost Tribe and the Human Clan’s Strongest who were originally in battle, after clashing with one hit, also stood aside.

However, figures such as King Long Deng and other Human Clan’s monarchs shielded Xiao Chen with their bodies.

"There are rumors that when a Small World produces a World Thunder Sound, once it evokes the phantom of the Ancient Desolated Era to descend, there is a chance to pull some Treasures back to reality through the temporal crossover from that illusory divine era," said one of them.

"The roar of the Dragon—could it be that the Holy Son has brought back the offspring of a dragon-like divine beast!"

The monarchs’ eyes sparkled with interest in what opportunities Xiao Chen might pull back from the Desolated Era.

"It should be Treasures, Spirit Medicine, Divine Weapons, Divine Mountain, etc. The deities have long been extinct; it’s impossible to pull back the offspring of divine beasts. If that were the case, wouldn’t the Human Realm be in complete chaos? The offspring of a divine beast is still a divine beast!"

Wheel Executioner King rebuked the impractical thoughts lightly.

Hearing this, the monarchs fell silent, realizing that this was indeed the truth. The deities were the rulers of the world before the Human Clan and the Hundred Clans.

They had little involvement in the grievances between the Human Clan and the Hundred Clans. If a true divine beast were to descend, it might throw the Hundred Clans of Heaven into chaos.

As for the grandeur of the deities, the debate over who was stronger between Sovereigns and deities has never ceased throughout history—there’s simply no conclusive answer!

"It’s the Heavenly Earth Spiritual Veins!"

In the next moment, the Wheel Executioner King’s eyes flashed with divine light, as if he saw through space and time.

"Good lad, he indeed has a great Fate. A single Spiritual Vein is enough to solidify a Small World."

King Long Deng laughed heartily, very happy about the opportunity Xiao Chen had obtained!

Meanwhile, the halting Ghost Tribe’s son, who was equally staring intently at the image at the pinnacle of the Sky Vault, did not make another move, and despite being surrounded by the Human Clan, he showed no trace of fear.

In fact, as a being born with the great luck of the Ghost Tribe, his strength was naturally beyond doubt.

To come to the Earth of the Human Realm without any preparation would be unthinkable. He believed that even if a Human Clan Sovereign acted, while he couldn’t guarantee victory against a Sovereign, if it was just about escaping, he had confidence.

However, unless it was absolutely necessary, he would not choose to flee. Now, at the end of this era, not only was the Human Clan constantly making contingency plans, but every member of the Hundred Clans was also in fear.

Within the Hundred Clans, not everyone stood united. Even though they united against the Human Clan,

But for the Ghost Tribe and the Flame Clan, it was impossible to truly form an alliance; one belonged to the Darkness, the other to the forces of Light. Their mutual repulsion originated from the depths of their bloodlines.

Especially at the end of this era’s great change, each race certainly had their own schemes. When the spiritual beings extinguished, the Human Clan seized the chance, expelled the Hundred Clans, and took over the Desolate Wilds, continuing to thrive until today.

Now, at the time of great change, it might be possible to expel the Human Clan and return once again to the Desolate Wilds.

However, for the Ghost Tribe, their Ancestral Land is the Nine Nether Underworld Realm, but Nine Nether is not only the Ghost Tribe’s Nine Nether; among the Hundred Clans of Heaven, the Bone Race, the Underworld Clan, and the Three-Eyed Wraith Tribe all originated from the Nine Nether Underworld.

So in the eyes of the Ghost Tribe’s son, the Human Clan is not the Ghost Tribe’s greatest enemy, as there is no conflict over Ancestral Lands between the two major races.

Moreover, if the Nine Nether Underworld Realm were to reappear, and Reincarnation were to reemerge, the perished lives of the Hundred Clans would have to wade through the Nine Nether River and step onto the Netherworld Road, potentially even strengthening the Ghost Tribe.

As a Ghost Tribe’s son, he had obtained some secrets about the Nine Nether Underworld Realm’s destruction before the Ancient Desolated Era from the Ghost Tribe’s destiny. Therefore, he dared to venture deep into the Earth of the Human Realm!
