Chapter 945: Chapter 928: Reward for Merits, Chonglou Divine Weapon (3)

In the hall of the Blood Sea, the young member of the Blood Clan flashed a fierce look in his eyes but couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart. With his greatest competitor fallen in the Human Realm, there was nothing more exhilarating than this.

"Brother Hai, you go ahead. I, An Wuxie, will surely invade the Border Wasteland and slaughter the human race, not as revenge for you, but to let the entire Blood Clan know that I am the true heir of the Blood Sea Family."

"The followers you left behind, and Mei Ji, I will take them under my command. The head of the Blood Sea Family will also be mine."

The hideous laughter grew deeper, and after a long while, the entire territory of the Blood Sea once again fell into silence.

Border Wasteland Region.

Xiao Chen was taken by the Supreme King beyond the Dao Void, and aside from Ziyang God Marquis and Chun Mu Lao, no one else was aware of it.

However, the Gu Yuan Tribe had joined forces with the Ancestral Court to eradicate the main forces of the Border Wasteland’s foreign races, a matter of great relief for countless human tribesmen across the Border Wasteland.

This success had severed the demonic hand of the Blood Clan. Within a short time, even if foreign races dispatched strong ones to descend into the Border Wasteland, gathering the resources to reopen the temporary passage seemed unlikely.

Xiao Chen had obliterated the Crystal Stone Mountain Range, directly thwarting the foreign races’ plans and killing their proposal to dispatch a detachment to conquer the Human Realm in its infancy.

Following Xiao Chen’s Imperial Command, construction of Zhen Nan City in the Crystal Stone Mountain Range had begun to defend the southern Border Wasteland. Operations had already commenced.

Xiao Chen’s command appointed Xue Sha, the Supreme Elder, to control the overall situation, leading ten thousand War Masters, ready to march towards the Crystal Stone Mountain Range.

At the same time, numerous roaming warriors from the Border Wasteland were recruited to station in the Crystal Stone Mountain Range.

Yet, at this moment, most of the elders of the Gu Yuan Tribe were still in a critical period of seclusion for cultivation. When Xiao Chen had gone to the Eastern Emperor Domain, he had obtained two eight-tier Martial Arts Towers, which he had given to the second elders, Lin Shan and Huang Liang, for integration into their bodies.

With a thirty-times speedup, two months had passed, which was equivalent to five to six years in the Desolate Land—a not insignificant period even for venerables.

Currently, the number of venerable-level warriors in the Gu Yuan Tribe had increased, including Xiao Lin, Mu Wu Ya, and even Xiao Bangtu, who had lost an arm in the Blood Sacrifice Battle, all had ascended to the rank of venerable.

Even Shi Ya and Xue Sha, under the accelerated time and the double enhancement of their fame and fortune, had advanced their power once more, reaching the grand venerable realm.

Over the years, the number of foreign races that had fallen by their hands was innumerous. Although it was not enough to advance their bronze martial name further, it had made them much more proficient in harnessing the momentum of their martial fame.

As for those who had ascended to the Towering Realm, their numbers had also significantly increased. The Blood Sacrifice Battle, though it had cost the Gu Yuan Tribe a million lives, represented a metamorphosis and a blood-soaked sublimation for the tribe.

The human race’s momentum has bestowed the Gu Yuan Tribe Warriors with an increase in talent, greatly bridging the gap between the Gu Yuan Tribe and other ancient tribes.

Meanwhile, the Broken Stars obtained by Xiao Chen in the Eastern Emperor Domain had repaired over half of the Mountain River Seal, turning its space into a small world. Luli controlling the operation of this small world further facilitated control over time acceleration.

Using this method of time acceleration, the Gu Yuan Tribe began to accumulate its depths, striving to catch up with those ancient tribes that had been inherited for thousands of years!

War God Temple.

As the master of the War God Temple, Elder Luo had ended his seclusion.

Previously, Xiao Chen’s encounter with an assassination attempt, the panic in the Border Wasteland, and the Gu Yuan Tribe’s closing of its city had hastily ended the recruitment of talented warriors. Now, with a large number of foreign races annihilated and the human momentum rising, vitality was showing once again.

Outside the Gu Yuan Tribe, a large number of Human Warriors had gathered again, along with many youths, ready to participate in the assessments of the War God Temple.

In previous days, during the intensive recruitment of warriors, Xiao Chen had ordered the tribe to close, and in the rush to prevent the loss of those exceptionally talented warriors, Elder Luo had taken all those who had yet to participate in the final assessment into the War God Temple.

This resulted in the War God Temple’s second intensive recruitment of talented warriors reaching a staggering count of over twenty thousand people, causing some chaos within the War God Temple.

However, sifting through the masses, the true geniuses eventually stood out, displaying their own brilliance!

Elder Hall.

The Grand Elder and the Third Elder were present; both had never entered the secret realm for seclusion, as the entire tribe needed their support to operate.

"Border Wasteland City is immense, with millions of our human brethren within it. Over these years, the ferocious beasts in the surrounding Ancient Mountain had almost been hunted to extinction, making it impossible to gather enough for the tribal sacrifices needed," said the Third Elder, voicing his complaints to the Grand Elder.

Previously, Xiao Chen had ordered the preparation of the tribe’s sacrificial rites in anticipation of his ascension to the Legendary Realm, elevating the Gu Yuan Tribe to the Legendary Marquis Department and simultaneously taking control of the Border Wasteland.

But procuring the sacrificial offerings had proven difficult for the Third Elder.

"Haha, Third Elder, do not worry. For the sacrifice of our Human Race Group, what better offering is there than the foreign races?" exclaimed the Grand Elder, not particularly concerned with the matter of sacrificial offerings, seemingly confident and prepared.

"Grand Elder, how can you say that? The foreign races in our Border Wasteland have already been slain by our Chief and the great ones from the Ancestral Court, and the remnants are being rounded up by the Battle Division as per the imperial edict to be hunted down. Where can we possibly capture such a large number of foreign races for the sacrifices?" questioned the Third Elder, puzzled by the Grand Elder’s light-hearted response.

"Third Elder, you just need to prepare the other necessities for the tribal sacrifice. As for the flesh and blood for the offerings, do not worry. If we lack foreign races in the Border Wasteland, are there not others elsewhere? The Chief will naturally have a way," reassured the Grand Elder, his mood very good.

Xiao Chen returned from beyond the hollow void, having slain the strong ones of foreign tribes. His might weighed down like a mountain, intimidating the whole Border Wasteland Region, and numerous tribes came to pay homage to the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Although the Gu Yuan Tribe had received an imperial edict under the Human Emperor, granting them governance over the Border Wasteland as their fief, Xiao Chen had not yet held a ceremony to declare this to the Great Wasteland. This resulted in many tribes not formally coming to pay homage and have an audience with the Gu Yuan Tribe.

However, in these days, many tribes came secretly to the Gu Yuan Tribe to offer tributes, all of which were received by him, the Grand Elder.

From a small clan to today’s homage by ten thousand tribes, he as the Grand Elder felt incredibly surreal, never having imagined that the Gu Yuan Tribe would experience such a prosperous era.

In the War Secret Realm.

Xiao Chen’s senses were sealed, unaware of how much time had passed, when he finally sensed the light of the outside world again.

Several Human Race kings finally concluded their discussion, and as for the results of the meeting, Xiao Chen naturally did not inquire. Obviously, with his current strength, he was not yet qualified to participate in the high-level decisions of the Human Race.

Even being able to enter the War Secret Realm today and see so many Human Race kings was already a great opportunity.

Exhale!

As Xiao Chen regained consciousness, he immediately felt a strong seductive force, making his entire body go on high alert. The previously lost scene in a sea of flowers was still fresh in his memory, and the silent killing intent was particularly frightening.

"You seem very afraid of me."

The voice resonated beside his ear, and even as Xiao Chen desperately controlled himself, he still felt his mind trembling.

Not far away, the Charming Queen looked at him with a smile, her every gesture emitting an allure that teased the nerves.

"Junior has seen the king." Xiao Chen dared not neglect, unclear about the king’s temperament. If she were capricious, it was not something he could bear.

"How tedious, just a youth of the Human Race’s younger generation, yet so overly mature."

Seeing Xiao Chen regather his composure and respectfully salute, the Charming Queen instantly lost interest and ceased to speak.

"Alright, Xiao Chen, this time you captured a person of the Blood Clan and even obtained such important information. The high ranks of our clan have already sent strong ones to verify this; your contribution is undeniable."

At this moment, the voice of the Celestial Seal King sounded.

Looking around, Xiao Chen then realized that on the entire Floating Island, only the Celestial Seal King, the Charming Queen, and himself remained—other kings had long since left.

Clearly, they had already prepared to depart.

"Our Human Race rewards merit, and this time your contributions are significant. However, you have just been conferred the title of Divine Marquis and have been awarded a territory in the Border Wasteland as your fief, so the council of kings decided to give you some tangible rewards."

"Many thanks, Your Majesty." Xiao Chen once again bowed deeply in respect.

"A ninth-grade Martial Arts Tower and a demi-king weapon."

The voice of the Celestial Seal King rang out, but then paused for a moment, before continuing, "If you are dissatisfied with the two treasures, they can also be converted into military merits for the Human Race."

"The junior chooses the Martial Arts Tower and the demi-king weapon."

After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Chen made his decision. With a significant battle looming, military merits would naturally be obtainable, but a ninth-grade Martial Arts Tower, a treasure that could support the development of a tribe, and the demi-king weapon were hard to find.

Even if possessing military merits could exchange for these two treasures, it would be redundant.

Suddenly, the Celestial Seal King waved his great hand, and instantly two treasures appeared in front of Xiao Chen.

A White Jade Martial Arts Tower, having nine tiers, each clearly demarcated.

As for the demi-king weapon, it was a War Saber, three feet long and three fingers wide, straight as a line, exuding a chill.

Xiao Chen waved his hand, and the two treasures were collected into the Mountain River Seal, which could potentially allow the Gu Yuan Tribe to gain another legend-level strong one.

"Take this; next time you encounter a raid by foreign tribes, it can support you for a moment until this king can arrive."

Just then, the voice of the Celestial Seal King rose again.

Buzz!

Xiao Chen immediately reached out and grabbed a Jade Talisman, densely covered with runes—over ten thousand, faintly suffused with a king’s momentum.

King’s Secret Treasure!

"Many thanks, Your Majesty."

Xiao Chen was quite moved by the Celestial Seal King offering such a treasure as a means of preservation.

"No need for thanks, lest next time you are attacked by foreign tribes and this king cannot arrive in time for rescue, then be blamed by those old monsters of the Divine Marquis Palace."

At that moment, Xiao Chen clearly saw the Celestial Seal King’s mouth twitch as he mentioned the old monsters of the Divine Marquis Palace, evidently having been chastised by them before.
