Chapter 898: Chapter 881 Two Chances Sun-slaying God King!

[No new updates today. Today there were two updates, owing one for tomorrow] In the Great Hall, Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on the stone bed, holding a green floating token in his hand.

Human Dao flourishes!

This was indeed the token that recorded Xiao Chen’s battle honors!

As he stroked the token, a surge of information flooded into his mind.

Xiao Chen, battle honors value: 89,634, title: none.

Only a little more than ten thousand battle honors were needed to reach the Bronze Commander level. The reason he had accumulated such high battle honors was because, during the Battle of Fortune Blood Sacrifice, Xiao Chen had shockingly killed three warriors from the Blood Clan, including Hun Shixin, all of whom were comparable to the Eight Heaven’s Realm of the Towering Realm.

Each Blood Clan warrior with the early combat power of the Eight Heaven’s Realm of the Towering Realm contributed six thousand battle honors, in addition to the slain patriarch of the Blood Faint Noble Family, and regular clan soldiers.

The East Emperor Palace had issued an imperial command—given the current rampage of foreign races, all battle honors earned from slaying foreign races were doubled. This had allowed his battle honors to nearly reach ninety thousand.

Soon, sensing the number of his battle honors, the token absorbed into Xiao Chen’s body, prompting him to let out a long sigh.

Originally, he had planned to head to the Hall of War Merits to exchange some treasures, including the later levels of his cultivated refinement technique, the Golden Battle Body, which was also a Monarch-tier Purple Gold Battle Body.

The last scroll of the Purple Gold Battle Body, the Purple Gold Scroll, had also been appraised in the Turtle Head Trade Company, but the secrets of the Purple Gold Battle Body were of a Monarch-level, and the amount of elemental stones needed to purchase it was beyond what his Gu Yuan Tribe could afford.

In fact, not just the Gu Yuan Tribe but even those deeply rooted Legendary Marquis Departments would find it difficult to meet this price. When the Purple Gold King’s Department was destroyed, the clan secret technique, Purple Gold Battle Body, was scattered across the Great Wasteland, but mostly it was just the initial two scrolls that many tribes had copied.

However, when it came to the Golden Scroll of the Towering Realm, only some ancient tribes with long inheritances possessed them; and the last scroll, the Purple Gold Scroll, which pointed directly to the Monarch’s Great Dao, was kept only by a few King-level Tribes and the Human Ancestral Court.

Ao Qiong from the Turtle Head Trade Company had suggested Xiao Chen exchange battle honors in the Human Ancestral Court at the East Emperor Palace because even if the outside world had the precious final scroll of the Purple Gold Battle Body, they were merely copies or incomplete ones. The real, original final scroll of the Purple Gold Battle Body was stored within the Ancestral Court.

However, even with battle honors, it was still far from enough for the current Xiao Chen. The value of one step into a Monarch’s scripture, even just ordinary secret books among the Monarch’s scriptures, required a million battle honors, not to mention the Purple Gold Battle Body.

The Bronze Commander title required only a hundred thousand battle honors, the Silver Commander five hundred thousand, and the Golden Commander rank needed a million battle honors. Likewise, the battle honors obtained by a warrior are not fixed and will be depleted naturally with the exchange of treasures and techniques.

Gathering a million battle honors was not easy, let alone that the Purple Gold Battle Body was a supreme refinement technique, definitely worth more than a million battle honors.

Roar!

A dragon’s roar echoed as a golden figure rushed into the Great Hall, with a young voice calling out.

"Master."

The little Pegasus ran to Xiao Chen, lifting its golden head, with a spirit medicine held in its mouth, emanating a water-blue light, nearly five thousand years old and almost qualifying as a Heavenly grade spirit medicine.

Over the past two days, Xiao Chen had not restricted the little Pegasus’s movements, allowing it to roam through the ancient mountains tens of thousands of miles around the Divine Marquis Mansion, not only bringing back a vast amount of spirit medicine but also capturing many small beasts for his Great Hall.

After swallowing the spirit medicine from its mouth, the little Pegasus lay down beside Xiao Chen, closed its eyes, and its body displayed a golden crystalline disappearance, evidently refining the spirit medicine.

Xiao Chen also slightly closed his eyes, his mental awareness continuously enveloping the entire Great Hall as he sensed the peculiar qi mechanism above this ancient mountain. The day he chose this ancient mountain was because he detected this faint qi mechanism.

This qi felt immensely ancient, bearing a sense of time-weary experience.

However, over the following two days, regardless of how Xiao Chen tried to sense it, this qi mechanism seemed to have disappeared without any trace, forcing him eventually to give up temporarily.

"Master, the Luo Mu Divine Marquis has come to visit," said Ji Jun, one of Xiao Chen’s followers, hurrying over.

"Oh," Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow, a hint of interest appearing in his eyes, not expecting a Divine Marquis to visit him.

"Join me to welcome him."

Moments later, Xiao Chen commanded, rising from his seat and hurrying out of the Great Hall.

The middle-aged warrior, dressed in a deep blue ice battle garb, had a blue sword hilt exposed on his back, his face firm and determined. But most importantly, his entire body was like a block of ice.

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly. The presence of the man before him brought a chilling fear that directly affected his mind.

Near Monarch!

The visiting Luo Mu Divine Marquis had stepped onto the path of Monarchs and had walked a considerable distance. He brought a fear not even matched by the Ziyang God Marquis.

"The visit of the Luo Mu Divine Marquis truly brings glory to this mansion,"

After regaining his composure, Xiao Chen greeted him with a salutation.

"This Marquis has just returned from the Void Dangerous Lands after several years and had not expected that our Eastern Wasteland would birth another Divine Marquis again; truly a joyous occasion."

Though he cultivated the Law of Ice, the words of Han Qian Divine Marquis were not that cold.

"Not yet legendary, yet ranked among the Divine Marquises, Xiao Divine Marquis is only the second person in tens of thousands of years," he said.

Xiao Chen was observing Han Qian Divine Marquis, who was also observing him. Being a Near Monarch Expert, he naturally discerned Xiao Chen’s current realm at a glance.

Stage Eight Realm perfected, but the vitality he possessed was dozens to nearly a hundred times stronger than other warriors of the same realm, his flesh was like a furnace, each piece brimming with vigorous life force.

Even compared to legendary warriors, he was not inferior.

"Han Qian Divine Marquis, please," he said.

Merely a moment of eye contact, the two naturally had a preliminary understanding of each other, and soon Xiao Chen spoke, inviting Han Qian Divine Marquis into the Great Hall.

In fact, the Divine Marquises he had met were few and far between, even counting the already fallen Supreme Dragon Divine Marquis, Han Qian Divine Marquis was naturally not familiar either, and he was likewise unaware of the reason for his visit.

Now, in the Divine Marquis Palace, he had only interacted with the Ziyang God Marquis and the Luo Mu Divine Marquis.

"I’ve heard that Xiao Divine Marquis, being granted a domain as his title, truly is a formidable junior, just now I realized I’ve grown old," said Han Qian Divine Marquis very lively.

Similarly, Xiao Chen did not know why Han Qian Divine Marquis had come to visit and replied accommodatingly, "Han Qian senior flatters me, it is you who truly inspires awe in the Eastern Wasteland, deterring the Hundred Clans."

"Divine Marquis, do you know who was the first person in tens of thousands of years who was ennobled as a marquis without reaching legend?" Although Xiao Chen’s strength was only at the Stage Eight Realm, Han Qian Divine Marquis showed no disrespect at all.

Only a Divine Marquis would know the terror of a Divine Marquis, which represents talent and qualifications.

If previously forging a Ninth Grade Martial Arts Tower and becoming revered under the age of thirty, there was a chance to become a monarch.

A chance to become a monarch, though seemingly intangible, when placed in the Eastern Desolate Land, how many warriors are there who are innately capable of forging a Ninth Grade Martial Arts Tower, the vast majority are not relying on refinement of an inherited Martial Arts Tower, but ranked among legendary warriors.

And upon being titled Divine Marquis, able to bear this fortune upon oneself, then the chance of becoming a monarch will increase once again.

This means that as long as the Divine Marquis does not fall midway, there is at least a two percent chance to become a Supreme Monarch!

Don’t look down on these two percent chances, in the vast Eastern Wasteland, among billions of humans, there are only one hundred and eighty-nine warriors with a two percent chance to become a monarch.

This is also why a Divine Marquis is sovereign above other warriors, it represents the qualification for reaching the Supreme King Realm in the future!

"Junior is limited in experience, please enlighten me, Han Qian Divine Marquis!" said Xiao Chen.

For his part, he was ennobled as a Divine Marquis without the severe tests as the outer world claimed, which also made Xiao Chen’s understanding of a Divine Marquis merely superficial, feeling little difference between a Divine Marquis and other warriors.

"The first warrior ennobled as a marquis without becoming legendary is the current lord of the Divine Marquis Palace," he explained.

What!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen immediately thought of the old man who had received him when he came to the Divine Marquis Palace, smiling and very gentle, the kind of old man who involuntarily makes you feel good.

After imprinting the God Marquis Seal, he seemed extremely weary as he left toward the back of the Great Hall. Still, Xiao Chen did not show any disrespect, because that was a person who was a King, and also had the title of a God King.

"The lord, titled Sun-slaying God King!"

Responding to the old man, even the expression on Han Qian Divine Marquis’s face showed a trace of solemnity, which was a deep respect from the heart.

"Back then, the lord was ennobled as a Divine Marquis at your age and strength, later ascended to the Supreme Monarch, bathed in blood fighting through the Hundred Realms, in one day successively slaying two monarchs of the Saint Clan and dozens of Half-King Peaks, even destroying a Saint King City of the Saint Clan, a celestial fortune descended, elevating him to the title of God King!"

In Xiao Chen’s eyes was shock, successively slaying two Saint Clan monarchs, he could not even begin to imagine the Divine Marquis Palace lord’s strength, how strong it must be, to obliterate a monarch, the difficulty of which was imaginable, let alone utterly annihilate.

Similarly, he could hardly imagine that an old man with a kind face, giving a feeling like a breath of spring rain, could have such terrifying combat prowess.

"This Marquis has heard that Xiao Divine Marquis came to the Divine Marquis Palace to imprint the God Marquis Seal, the lord personally appeared, in the entire Divine Marquis Palace, apart from a few God Kings in seclusion, only Xiao Divine Marquis had such an honor, truly making one envious," he said.

Hearing this, Xiao Chen flashed a hint of confusion. Could it be that the imprinting of the God Marquis Seal was not always personally guided by the lord? Apparently, there were some secrets he had not yet understood.

"Xiao Divine Marquis, this time, my visit is twofold, firstly as a fellow Divine Marquis, to formally congratulate you, and secondly to ask for a personal favor," Han Qian Divine Marquis quickly changed the topic and said.

"I wonder what matter it refers to?" Han Qian Divine Marquis’s words, however, made Xiao Chen puzzled, having no connection with this Han Qian Divine Marquis, where does the talk of a favor come from?

ps; I’m exhausted, ran to the hospital several times today, and need to make yet another trip, not sure what time I’ll be back, missed one update today, will make it up tomorrow!
