Legendary Clan Chief
Chapter 567 - 553

Chapter 567: 553

In the blink of an eye, two months had passed since the Chief of the Iron Hoof Tribe left. Over the course of two months, the Gu Yuan Tribe had accepted the vast wilderness of the Giant Stone Valley.

All seven hundred and sixty inferior Human War Tribes in this wilderness had changed their allegiance and pledged to the Gu Yuan Tribe, becoming vassal Battle Divisions. As inferior tribes, their strength was insufficient to change their own fate, and they could only go with the flow.

In two months, the Gu Yuan Tribe accepted seven hundred and sixty Human War Tribes, and had them etch their tribe’s seals onto the Clan Stele of the Gu Yuan Tribe.

In the Blue Stone Garden of the tribe, the purple and gold colored Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood, adorned with traces of golden radiance, was shimmering with a purple and gold shine. The purple and gold spirit leaves looked like divine dragons, emitting a radiant purple light. Xiao Chen sat cross-legged under the spiritual wood.

His eyes were slightly closed, emitting a shallow golden light all over his body. This light was not very intense or dazzling, but it gave people a gentle and quiet feeling. It even seemed that waves of invisible ripples were erupting from his body.

The spirit wood hummed and sprinkled pieces of golden rain. Sitting so still for three days, many tribe elders came to visit but were blocked by Mu Qing and Nianhua, fearing that they would disturb Xiao Chen’s enlightenment. With the situation like this, another day passed.

On the fourth day, Xiao Chen’s eyes opened, revealing a sharp gleam, then it quickly turned back to normal. A hint of clarity passed through his black jade-like pupils. Clearly, he had gained not a small enlightenment these past few days.

By now, Xiao Chen had already stepped into the fifth level of the Towering Realm. Although he had not yet reached a state of perfection, he was not far from the Venerable Stage of the sixth level of the Towering Realm. Once he stepped over, it would be a completely different world.

Regardless of whether it was the Venerable Stage or the average Massive Tower Realm Wu Experts, they all belonged to the same realm, which was the Martial Arts Tower Realm, but within this realm, there were two major subdivisions.

The Venerable Masters Xiao Chen had fought against before included the Ghost Tribe Venerable, who attacked him not too long ago, and the Ice Frost Venerable, who had tried to plunder his treasures outside the Border Wasteland City a few years back.

Although these two had only struck him once, they had brought Xiao Chen to the brink of death. They were warriors of the same realm, but their strengths were as different as heaven and earth.

Whether it was the Frost Battle Qi of the Ice Frost Venerable or the Ghost Flames of the Ghost Tribe Venerable, Xiao Chen could feel a different kind of mystery among them. It was significantly different from the attacks of those below the Venerable Stage.

It seemed to be a combination of Battle Qi and Combat Essence, which could explode with multiple times the power. Such moves seemed to be a natural ability of the Venerables. Every casual attack had such power.

"The move issued by the Ice Frost Venerable was extremely cold. The coldness pierced the bone and could even freeze a person’s soul and mind. It seemed to understand the essence of ice. As for the Venerable of the Ghost Tribe, his ghost flames were cold yet mixed with a strong aura of death. It seemed that his attack had two different essences mixed within."

"Is this the method of the Venerable Masters? They have integrated essence into their bodies, and they can turn their comprehension into an attack method in every move they make. From this point of view, it seems that the more essences are contained in the moves, the stronger their attack power."

For warriors below the Venerable Stage, the Martial Arts God Techniques they understand are another manifestation of essence attacks. After all, these ordinary Massive Tower Realm warriors cannot truly integrate the essence into their regular moves, just like Xiao Chen’s Spear of Slaughter.

Xiao Chen’s comprehension of the killing essence has now reached the peak of the great achievement, and is only one step away from perfection. His Divine Power, Spear of Flames, and Spear of Thunder are the fire essence and thunder essence he has comprehended, but the level of comprehension is not high.

The essence of fire is at a minor completion level, but the rest of the thunder essence has not even reached minor completion yet. However, Xiao Chen was not in a hurry. Above his head was the Thunder Tribulation Spirit Wood, and he had already refined a Thunder Spirit Leaf.

With the help of the Thunder Spirit Leaf, the speed at which he comprehended the essence of thunder had increased by more than tenfold. He believed it would not be long before the essence of thunder could reach minor completion level.

After sorting this out, Xiao Chen understood that he did not go wrong in his cultivation direction. As long as he followed the steps, he believed he could soon reach the realm of Venerable Masters.

Of course, becoming a Venerable Master means being able to launch an attack containing essence in every move you make. However, the original Martial Arts God Technique that had been cast would not become useless, but would be sublimated.

However, most warriors choose one essence that they have the deepest understanding of as their main practice, such as the Ice Frost Venerable, who solely practiced the essence of ice.

There are also some warriors who comprehend multiple essences, like the Ghost Tribe Venerable. Of course, if the attack incorporates multiple essences, its combat power is not as simple as adding one and one, it will increase by multiples.

In addition to this, some warriors who are unable to go a step further due to their potential, or those with extraordinary talent, will also comprehend multiple essences to increase their own combat power.

In the northeast corner of the Tribal Mountain City, there is a low mountain range that covers less than a mile. It is more accurate to call it a pile of rocks.

At this time, this pile of rocks, which had been left unused since the construction of the Tribal Mountain City, resonated with the sound of iron and rock. Numerous tribe people were busy working.

In the middle of this pile of rocks, the central position has been leveled, leaving only the outermost fringe. It looks like a circular fortress.

Not only that, but the craftsmen of the tribe were also building some defense works on the circular fortress. From a distance, this fortress made of piled rocks looked like a city within a city.

The middle of the pile of rocks had already been transformed into a stone platform a few thousand feet in diameter. At the four corners of the stone platform stood four high stone pillars, each several tens of feet thick and fifty feet high.

"Chief, the platform has been fully constructed and cast using high-grade casting materials, interspersed with iron water boiled with spirit materials."

At the moment, Xiao Chen was surrounded by people. Besides the seven Grand Elders of the tribe, all the Towering Realm martial artists in the tribal mountain city had come out.

Seeing that everyone had assembled, Xiao Chen no longer hesitated and a purple palm-sized token appeared in his hand.

The Void Defender’s Token!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The purple token, upon its appearance, started buzzing. Invisible fluctuations were stirring in the Void, as if repelling against the space.

"Open!"

Then, Xiao Chen connected his mind wihth the token, and he yelled loudly. The purple token immediately came to the middle of the stone platform and inflated rapidly. The invisible fluctuations were becoming larger and larger, as if they were about to tear the Void in front of him.

Crack!

The token sounded, and finally, a cracking sound was heard. A twisted crack, a foot long, appeared in the previously stable Void. It wriggled about, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, the crack continued to spread, getting larger and larger.

Whoosh!

A pitch-black hole appeared before everyone, about ten feet in size. It was like a man-eating black hole. Thankfully, there was no space turbulence bursting out.

The Void Road is open!

Xiao Chen understood that this Void Road, from when it was first created, had been around for tens of thousands of years. It was incredibly stable and there wouldn’t be any space turbulence.

Even though there was no space turbulence, the moment the black hole opened, waves of cold Yin Qi hit their faces. For those Tower Realm warriors, this may not mean much. However, the working tribe people around could instantly feel strands of chilly sensation seeping into their marrow.

Flashing silver light continually surrounded the crack. After a moment, there were dence streaks of light forming a 100-feet-wide silver whirlpool. It was awe-inspiring.

"Let’s go!"

Accompanying Xiao Chen’s shout, all the warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe moved swiftly into the silver whirlpool. It was very stable.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The spatial whirlpool was like a dazzling, splendid chaos. Just a moment’s distraction, and everyone felt their suspended bodies step onto the solid ground once again.

"Is this the Beast-controlling Tribe’s Void Road?"

Someone in the crowd murmured. The sky gave a feeling of a dead land, eerily silent, and extremely scary.

This was a gray sky. Without sunlight, it emitted a grayish light. The land was desolate and barren. There were continuous desolate mountains and wild plains, filled with a sense of desolation.

As everyone followed Xiao Chen, advancing in mid-air, there seemed to be a touch of color appeared on the ground below. It was a condensed and unchangeable black color. Originally bloody-red, it had turned black like ink over the long span of time, and the smell of blood had long vaporized.

At this moment, on the ground, there were scattered patches of grey-white bones, human, vicious beasts, and even different races. They had lost their glamour and were half-buried in the wind-sand.

They even saw a ruined ancient city, covering an area of around a hundred miles square. However, the ancient city was already very much ruined, with only the remains of a base less than a few feet high. Even this rundown base was decayed, riddled with large and small fissures. It seemed that it would collapse with just a gentle push.

This Void Road was boundless. Even just the sealed part, Xiao Chen’s estimate, was half the size of the Dragon Fall Territory, except without any living creatures, other mountains, hills, canyons, plains were crisscrossed.

"Since our Gu Yuan clan has become the guardian tribe of this Void Road, some preparations should be made early. I’ve summoned everyone here today to make you all understand that even though our tribe’s fortune seems to be flourishing, it is in fact precarious. If the Void Road were to open again, our clan is in danger!"

Above the imposing seal, black gas flowed like maggots gnawing at a bone, attached to it, eroding the seal ceaselessly.
