Talisman Emperor

He was on the verge of advancement!

Chen Xi acutely noticed that his vital energy had arrived at a state of unprecedented perfection in the Universe Enlightened Ancestral God Realm, and it was even to the extent that it was slightly restless and on the very of going out of control.

This was the sign that he was about to advance into the Imperial Monarch Realm.

Moreover, even his cultivation in the Sword Dao was merely a thread away from attaining the 4th level of the Sword Emperor Realm!

On the other hand, his cultivation in the Dao Heart had attained an obvious increase as well, and if Chen Xi was not wrong, then his cultivation in the Dao Heart would definitely be able to advance to the 4th forging of the True Heart Sutra once he stepped foot into the ranks of Region Lords.

These were the benefits that came from actual combat.

Since he’d advanced into the advanced-stage of the Universe Enlightened Ancestral God Realm, Chen Xi had been constantly cultivating bitterly and comprehending, so his strength had practically attained a state of perfection.

Later on, while he participated in the Dao Discussion. He’d been constantly unable to fully display his combat strength out of consideration for the rules, and he couldn’t help but feel slightly restrained during those battles.

But just now, he’d discarded all the restrictions and completely freed himself, allowing him potential to be completely released.

Under such circumstances, no matter if it was his mental state or combat strength, both had obtained a form of tempering and training that could only be chanced upon with luck.

If it wasn’t for the sake of advancing into the ranks of Region Lords, Chen Xi’s current state was sufficient for him to easily surmount the threshold and advance into the Imperial Monarch Realm!

…

In the end, Chen Xi had suppressed it in the end. He still hadn’t refined and absorbed the quintessence energy of a region, so he was naturally unwilling to break through.

“A’Liang, are you alright?” Chen Xi suddenly noticed that A’Liang’s aura was slightly dispirited while her pretty face was ghastly pale, so his heart couldn’t help but tighten as he asked.

“There’s no need to be anxious, Young Master. A’Liang is just slightly tired, and I’ll recover after resting briefly.” A’Liang spoke casually.

“A’Liang, thank you.” Chen Xi was very clearly aware that if this little miss hadn’t lent him a hand, then he would have definitely lost this battle.

Because when those Shaman Beasts were controlling the corpses of various experts, the combat strengths they revealed was comparable to Imperial Monarchs.

Moreover, it was equivalent to over 1,000 Imperial Monarchs!

If the Godsmash Drum and Divine Stick of Incineration in A’Liang’s possession didn’t possessed peerless divine might that forced those Shaman Beasts out of the corpses, it would be impossible for this battle to have concluded with his victory.

“Young Master, you… you don’t need to be courteous with A’Liang.” A’Liang lowered her head and seemed to be shy and embarrassed.

Chen Xi smiled as he said, “A’Liang, then take a good rest. Leave everything else to me.”

“Mmm.” A’Liang nodded with force, and then she sat cross-legged in Chen Xi’s auricle before recuperating in meditation.

At this moment, Chen Xi’s gaze had shot towards the starry sky extremely far away in the distance. There was a shadow there that seemed like a veil that covered the sky, and it seemed indescribably mysterious.

Swoosh!

Chen Xi didn’t hesitate to flash over.

Earlier, he’d passed through a violet ocean formed from Dao Restraint Tribulation Energy and annihilated an army formed from countless Shaman Beasts before he was finally able to arrive here.

Under such circumstances, Chen Xi was naturally even more curious about exactly what was hidden within that shadow because there was actually so many dangers obstructing the path towards it!

Chen Xi was very clearly aware that any other person or even a Daolord would probably be unable to pass through these barriers with such ease like he had.

It was even to the extent that merely the violent ocean formed from tribulation energy was sufficient to make most stop before it and not dare take a single step closer.

So, the more it was like this, the more unusual this area covered by a shadow seemed.

…

In next to no time, the shadow gradually appeared within Chen Xi’s field of vision, and it grew clearer and clearer.

What’s that? After a short moment, Chen Xi suddenly stopped moving, and his eyes suddenly narrowed while a strand of divine light shot explosively from within.

Shockingly, numerous balls of chaos that represented Region Quintessence resided within the shadow.

There was a total of nine there.

Every single one of them was suffused with extremely thick and pure Region Energy. It was concentrated to the point of being seemingly material, and it caused one to feel as if one was laying eyes upon a small world of chaos!

No, it was nine such worlds!

They floated there motionlessly, yet they were filled with vitality. They seemed like the source of everything and the core of the region.

The enormous shadow in the starry sky was projected by these nine Region Quintessences!

At this moment, a wisp of shock couldn’t help but arise in Chen Xi’s heart.

Nine Region Quintessences were acting in cooperation with each other from afar and were like a complete whole. What sort of region is this to give birth to so many quintessences?It’s truly inconceivable!Who would have imagined that such a supreme fortuitous encounter would actually be hidden in this extremely dangerous region which was filled with killing intent?

Most importantly, even Chen Xi had never imagined that the collapse of the ground would allow him to be unintentionally swept into this region, yet as luck would have it, it had given him an such a huge pleasant surprise.

This was really unexpected.

If they’re completely refined and absorbed, then what sort of shocking Region Energy would be formed? Chen Xi muttered in his heart while his black pupils grew even brighter.

Swoosh!

Chen Xi summoned Gu Yan out from the universe within his body.

“My god! This is….” As soon as he noticed the scene in the distance, Gu Yan couldn’t help but be dumbstruck. He was extremely shocked in his heart because it had exceeded his imagination as well.

“We’ll enter it together, and we’ll refine and absorb as many as we can.” Chen Xi took a deep breath as he spoke slowly.

However, before his voice could finish resounding through the air, he seemed to have noticed something, and he was stared blankly ahead while his brows had knit tightly together. He seemed to have encountered an extremely huge problem.

Gu Yan couldn’t help but ask. “Martial Ancestral Uncle, what’s wrong?”

“The Dao Restraint Tribulation Energy around the Region Quintessence seems to be difficult to deal with.” Chen Xi pondered deeply for a moment, and then he gritted his teeth in the end and said, “Wait here for a while. I’ll go over and give it a try.”

Swoosh!

Chen Xi flashed forward and stopped when he was 3km away from that expanse of the starry sky, and he revealed a solemn expression.

Swish!

The Daoseal Mark within his soul circulated and emanated an obscure fluctuation of energy, and it swiftly swept out, tore through the sky, and charged forcefully at the expanse of space in the distance.

Bang!

Shockingly, it actually seemed like an iron wall stood around the Region Quintessence, and the energy from the Daoseal Mark collided with it, causing violent rumbling to resound yet it didn’t split apart!

Precisely speaking, it wasn’t an iron wall but tribulation energy that seemed material!

It was completely unlike the tribulation energy he’d seen before this. The tribulation energy that covered this region was filled with a condensed, thick, and peerlessly solid aura.

It was like an impregnable barrier that stood before the Region Quintessence!

With the might possessed by Chen Xi’s Daoseal Mark, it was actually difficult to break through this wall.

How could this be possible…. Chen Xi’s brows knit together tightly while he tried a few more times, yet he noticed that he was still unable to progress at all. This caused his heart to sink.

If he was unable to break through this tribulation energy, then how could he hope of refining and absorbing the Region Quintessence behind it!

“Martial Ancestral Uncle….” Gu Yan approached and was about to say something when Chen Xi stopped him with a wave of his hand. “Let me try once more.”

As he spoke, Chen Xi took a deep breath.

Clang!

He withdrew the Talisman Armament, and then circulated the energy of the Daoseal Mark and made it surge into the Talisman Armament.

Om!

The Talisman Armament let out a clear howl while it became suffused with an obscure and mysterious fluctuation of energy that instilled fear in the hearts of others.

It was the first time Gu Yan had witnessed the might of the Daoseal Mark. At this instant, he felt that the Dao Insights he possessed had actually become sluggish, and they seemed to have been completely suppressed.

This caused his heart to shake, and he took two steps back unconsciously. Only then did the unusualness he felt vanish, and he couldn’t help but be shocked in his heart. That energy that Martial Ancestral Uncle possesses is truly mysterious!Swoosh!

Chen Xi slashed with the Talisman Armament.

Crack! Crack!

A weave of violent sounds of collision and friction resounded. A rift was gradually split open on the impregnable tribulation energy, and it seemed to be very difficult to achieve.

Chen Xi focused while he gritted his teeth and circulated his strength, and then he shook the Talisman Armament with force, causing its edge to be pushed forward by a certain amount of distance once more.

However, it still seemed to be very inconspicuous.

The area covered by the tribulation energy was an entire 3km in length. According to this speed of advancement, how long it would take him to break a passageway open was unknown.

Most importantly, at the same time that his sword was pushing forward, the rift behind it didn’t take too long to close once more.

It felt like slashing into a lake. The rift that had just formed would be closed once more by the water from all sides.

Under such circumstances, it was utterly impossible to pass through.

This caused Chen Xi’s expression to turn gloomy.

Clang!

He put the Talisman Armament away, and then he stopped going head-on against it.

What should I do? Chen Xi frowned while he deduced all sorts of methods in his heart. In the end, he helplessly noticed that there was practically no hope if he wanted to bring Gu Yan along with him.

Gu Yan suddenly asked. “Martial Ancestral Uncle, would you be able to pass through if you were by yourself?”

Chen Xi was in deep contemplation, so he answered casually when he heard this. “Of course.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he instantly understood Gu Yan’s thoughts, and he couldn’t help but frown as he said, “Don’t let your thoughts run wild. There’s an entire nine Region Quintessences over there. Wouldn’t it be a huge pity if I left you here?”

This time, Gu Yan didn’t listen to Chen Xi’s instructions, and he stared Chen Xi in the eye as he said, “Martial Ancestral Uncle, this opportunity really is difficult to come by in a thousand years. However, if you were to miss this opportunity because of me, then I would feel regret for my entire lifetime.”

He paused for a moment and continued. “If you grab this opportunity and become a Region Lord, you can help me look for a Region Quintessence after that, and we wouldn’t have to be stuck here at all.”

Chen Xi remained silently. He was very clearly aware that Gu Yan was right. However, he truly couldn’t bear to just leave Gu Yan here.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and said, “I’ll put you in the universe within my body and try if it works.”

Gu Yan was stunned. He didn’t even have the chance to recover from his shock when he was swept away by a strand of force and entered the universe within Chen Xi’s body.

Clang!

The Talisman Armament let out a clear howl, and the mysterious and obscure energy of the Daoseal Mark flowed on it.

Chen Xi moved forward with sword in hand and attacked once more.

Crack! Crack!

A rift quickly appeared on the tribulation energy.

However, when Chen Xi’s figure flashed with the intention of charging in, he felt a supreme and surging energy blast onto him.

After that, his figure was blasted flying uncontrollably. Moreover, the universe within his body shook, causing him to be unable to help but open his mouth in spit, and in the next moment, Gu Yan’s figure flew out from within him.

At practically the exact same time, A’Liang who was meditating and recuperating in Chen Xi’s auricle let out a sharp cry, and then she flew out in a sorry state.

Chen Xi was horrified while his expression changed abruptly, and his gaze seemed to carry disbelief as it shot swiftly towards the Region Quintessence.
