Chapter 588: Chapter 574 Astonishing Harvest, Uncertainty of Clan Fate!_1

Black sand swirled, blowing wildly in all directions, filling the Secret Realm with endless roars of desolation, making it seem even more decayed and ruined.

Xiao Chen couldn’t help but breathe a long sigh of relief. The complete consumption of the Residual Thoughts that had tried to seize his body left him feeling somewhat weary. At the same time, a large amount of Soul Power was forcibly absorbed, making his thoughts become somewhat dull.

Xiao Chen knew this was the result of forcibly absorbing a large amount of soul power. The power of the Residual Thoughts seemed to have been swallowed by him, but it would take him a lot of time to refine and digest this energy before he could truly employ it freely and have an unhindered flow of thoughts.

Now he was not alone. He had a gentle wife and hundreds of thousands of tribesmen. Fortunately, everything was over. Reminiscing about the past filled him with intense fear.

Huff!

Taking another long breath, Xiao Chen turned his gaze towards the sitting figure of Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis.

Without the interference of Residual Thoughts, the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis’s body, though still faintly shining with golden light, was no longer as dazzling as before. The Golden Battle Body had been cultivated to the ninth perfect realm and even the profound Mysteries of Blood Rebirth had been derived, and yet the body was beaten to a broken state, causing a tragic end within this Secret Realm.

Xiao Chen didn’t know what the ninth realm of The Golden Battle Body represented but he did know that it was extremely powerful just like the Flying Dragon, an immensely powerful Fierce Beast. Despite the erosion of tens of thousands of years, its flesh and blood had disappeared under the winds of sand, leaving only the broken bones.

However, after observing the body of the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis, even though the body was broken and had endured tens of thousands of years of erosion, he seemed to have just fallen - the expression on its face lifelike, and the flesh still encased their bones. Yet, there was no longer any sign of life energy.

Buzz!

With a light lift of Xiao Chen’s right hand, a humming sound was heard. The Golden Treasure Sword, which was originally lying on Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis’s knees, rose into the air and landed into his hand.

This was a Half King Weapon. Even though it had been broken and its Soldier Soul annihilated after a great battle, it had not lost its spirit. According to the memories left by the Residual Thoughts, the Soldier Soul of this Half King Weapon had been self-repairing over tens of thousands of years, and a new Soldier Soul had been produced.

Squeak!

When Xiao Chen’s consciousness penetrated the Golden Treasure Sword, he immediately heard a childlike voice squeaking. It was very naive, and didn’t even know how to communicate with people yet. Nevertheless, it seemed to be very happy about Xiao Chen’s connection.

This was like a newborn Soldier Soul, with no connection to the Soldier Soul that had been dispersed tens of thousands of years ago. Although it could not yet leave independently, it was harmless to Xiao Chen. Even if the old Soldier Soul from thousands of years ago existed, he wouldn’t be able to subdue it.

A Half King Weapon, possessing a spirit just as intelligent as a Human Warrior or even being an independent creature, can cultivate as a Human Warrior does - drawing upon the Vital Energy from Heaven and Earth. Xiao Chen acknowledged that with his current strength, the Soldier Soul would probably not bother looking his way.

"Coalesce!"

A drop of blood essence was forced out of his body and fell onto the Golden Treasure Sword. Immediately after, Xiao Chen imprinted a profound seal into the sword. Each Half King Weapon contained a self-existing spiritual space inside, where the Soldier Soul resided.

The profound Blood Essence drop fell into the spiritual space within the Golden Treasure Sword, heading towards a childlike figure that radiated youthful vigor. This child was the newly-formed Soldier Soul. He could not yet manifest from the spiritual space, but the mysterious blood-colored imprint bore into the child’s heart, solidifying into a clear imprint which began to blur and then disappeared. Xiao Chen, however, felt a connection form between him and the Golden Sword.

Although Xiao Chen’s weapon of choice was the War Spear and not a Sword, he could not deny that even if he did not know any sword techniques, a full force strike performed with the Golden Treasure Sword could cause substantial damage to an upper-level strong one in the Towering Realm. Some early-entry warriors in the seventh layer might even be in danger of falling.

In this way, this Half King Weapon would serve as his trump card for quite some time.

Once again looking at the broken Divine Body of the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis, a gleam flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes. The Residual Thoughts had not lied; although the body of the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis had lost life energy and had been severely damaged, and even though it had gone through tens of thousands of years of erosion and much of its essence lost, if Xiao Chen managed to Refine the body, his Golden Battle Body could advance to the sixth realm and derive the profound Blood Rebirth Mysteries.

As Residual Thoughts left behind by the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis, they knew many secrets. The Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis who had cultivated the Golden Battle Body to the ninth realm had the Mysteries of cultivation of the Golden Battle Body imprinted within his Residual Thoughts. Now, these all benefited Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen knew that the resources needed to cultivate each level of The Golden Battle Body increased twofold from the previous level. Cultivating from the fifth realm to the sixth realm, deriving the profound Blood Rebirth Mysteries, would increase the consumption several times more. Furthermore, the resources needed for subsequent cultivation would be vast.

However, in the end, Xiao Chen shifted his gaze away from the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis’s remains. Those who could attain the title of a Divine Marquis were revered by thousands of people and had greatly contributed to their tribe. Moreover, they were favored by the tribe’s destiny. Even if such a strong one had fallen, they should not be violated.

If it had been the remains of a Foreign Race Warrior in front of him, Xiao Chen would unquestionably have refined it without any hesitation.

His gaze turned towards the remains of the Fierce Beasts in the Secret Realm Space. There were close to a hundred of them, including the five-star Flying Dragon and the remains of other Dragons and Exotic Beasts.

There were dozens of them at the five-star level. Even if they were just remains, the essence they left behind was still of great value to Xiao Chen. If he refined them, he could advance his Golden Battle Body to the next realm.

However, Xiao Chen didn’t immediately start refining. According to the Residual Thoughts, Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis had ended up here by chance, as coordinates were not necessary in the Void.

What delighted Xiao Chen was that he found the remaining Spirit Crystal he needed beside the remains of Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis.

He bowed respectfully towards the remains of Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis and then walked over. Finally, in the corner of the remains, he found a beast skin pouch.

A beast skin bag made from a Void Beast’s skin.

The size of a palm, the beast skin bag is in an unobtrusive gray. However, it carries a space ten meters in radius within it.

Within the beast skin bag start radiating ripples of spirit light, they were crystal stones, gleaming like crystals, and releasing an astonishing aura. A single hint of the aura leaking was enough to stir the Combat Qi within Xiao Chen. These were all Low-grade Spirit Crystals.

These Spirit Crystals numbered around fifty. Xiao Chen even discovered a crystal stone emitting divine brilliance that is much more radiant than twenty Low-grade Spirit Crystals.

Intermediate Spirit Stone!

An Intermediate Spirit Stone, this is an unexpected delight. Sensing the richness of its spiritual energy, Xiao Chen even felt that if he wanted to refine it with his current state, it would be enough to make his body explode.

Let alone an Intermediate Spirit Crystal, even a Low-grade Spirit Crystal is not something he can currently handle. Given his current realm, the best he could refine for the purpose of cultivation would be a Top-grade Spirit Stone.

Moreover, under Xiao Chen’s sensing, there were more than five hundred Top-grade Spirit Stones in the beast skin bag. As for those that are below Top-grade Spirit Stones, none existed in the bag. Even Top-grade Spirit Stones, to a Half King Level warrior, contain too many impurities in their Primal Energy.

As one of the Four Admirals of the Purple Gold King Tribe and a Half King Level warrior, the amount of crystal stones should naturally not be merely these. According to the information Xiao Chen had obtained, most of the Spirit Crystals had been used by the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis for healing. However, in the end, it was still futile.

The remaining Spirit Stones and Crystal Stones alone were of great fortune to Xiao Chen. The total of these crystalline stones is enough to match the entire foundation of a top-level Battle Division.

Having collected everything, Xiao Chen looked at the corpse of the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis. It once obtained the favor of the tribe’s luck.

If he were to disrespect the corpse now that it has fallen, he might meet trouble. After all, human destiny was a mystery, filled with wonders on many fronts. Xiao Chen doesn’t believe with his current ability he could unravel such a mystery.

"Buzzing!"

Just as Xiao Chen was hesitating, an eerie ripple emerged from the corpse of the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis. A wave of mystery descended through the broken sky of the Secret Realm, and the corpse, which had been preserved for tens of thousands of years, started to slowly disintegrate.

"This is human destiny!"

Xiao Chen was full of shock. In the blink of an eye, the flesh that was originally attached to the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis’s body vanished into the Void, leaving behind a skeleton as if composed of gold, while the strong odor of decay started to fade as the corpse disintegrated.

Relieved. Extremely relieved!

This is what Xiao Chen is thinking at the moment. He didn’t try to refine the corpse of the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis under the influence of the lingering thoughts but instead left it to human destiny. In front of the human destiny, he was just a tiny, insignificant creature. Even a human king would not be able to attain a profound understanding of human destiny—it was simply too hard to grasp.

A golden flame burst forth from the golden skeleton, enveloping it, but it did not burn hotly.

"The Flame of Destiny!"

With the burning of the Flame of Destiny, the remaining bones of the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis slowly melted into the Void.

"Buzzing!"

The deep mystery again emitted an invisible ripple, but this time it headed toward Xiao Chen. A purple mist sank into Xiao Chen’s soul.

"This...this...!"

In an instant, Xiao Chen noticed the residual worries within his soul sea, as well as the sense of obstruction in the operation of his soul due to the rapid increase in spirit caused by devouring the lingering thoughts. It faded completely. The lingering soul power that was swallowed earlier felt as if it originally belonged to himself!

"So, this is it!"

At the same time, a sudden realization arose within Xiao Chen’s spirit.

"The will of the human destiny, it is indeed unattainable!"

Looking at the remains of the Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis that had already vanished, Xiao Chen could not help but murmur.

PS: I released a Chapter against piracy a few days ago, the subscription for the Chapter against piracy doubled, and then it went back to the old ways. Between 0:00 and 1:00 in the morning, don’t subscribe to the Chapter. Originally, this anti-piracy Chapter was planned to be released around 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning. However, I guess I’ll be sleeping like a pig then, I have been somewhat tired these days.
