Chapter 1577: Chapter 1524: Unexpected Visitor Bai Zhan Warrior!
Unexpectedly obtaining another Emperor’s Mark could only be described as a pleasant surprise. Who would have thought that the lingering will of a Thunder Emperor from the Human Clan would attach itself to a fragnt of a turtle shell?
While Xiao Chen recuperated from the blood and qi depletion caused by the great battle, having acquired the Emperor’s Mark, he defeated three ancient mighty elders in Dao Tian City. Within just three days, the news spread across the surrounding regions, shocking countless strong warriors of the Human Clan!
Ever since he set foot in the Central Lands, beginning from Heavenly Grand City, breaking through the Primal Ancient City, and then to Dao Sky Ancient City, winning two successive victories, he had already drawn the attention of many ambitious figures!
Countless individuals from the Human Clan speculated about Xiao Chen’s next move toward the heart of the Central Lands. With the way Xiao Chen was challenging the Human Realm’s strong ones, it seed he intended to carve a bloody path straight through!
However, the Central Lands were vast and boundless, an expansive wilderness. Even with Xiao Chen’s current status as a pseudo-emperor, battling as he advanced, reaching the central territories would still take quite so ti. Hence, utilizing Void Teleportation Arrays along the way beca an inevitability!
Within Dao Tian City, there happened to be a Void Array capable of transporting him to an ancient city a billion miles away—Hidden Dragon City!
In the stone que within Dao Tian City, Xiao Chen’s spirit was crystal-clear, his perception enveloping the entirety of the ancient city. No one could detect his intent, and he rely smiled faintly at the various speculations among the countless warriors in the city.
The Human Realm’s lands were indeed overly expansive; traversing them all was unrealistic. Xiao Chen planned to rely on arrays for a shorter route, passing through thirteen ancient cities along the way, which would lead him directly to the Human Emperor Realm of the Central Lands!
As for the sacred battle of the Holy Son Fuyu Cang that the Tomb King ntioned, it was to be initiated at the most majestic Heavenly Martial Mountain within the Human Emperor Realm!
The journey through the Central Lands was becoming increasingly exciting!
At this mont, Xiao Chen was ready to depart toward Dragon Burial City, which lay billions of miles away. As for the previous rumors that a Central Holy Son was coming to Dao Tian City to challenge him, they only spoke of soone currently still en route!
He had no intention of waiting any longer!
If soone wanted to challenge him, they would naturally have to follow his path all the way!
Xiao Chen had only lingered in Dao Tian City because of the Thunder Tortoise Shell. Now that the matter with the shell had been resolved, and having obtained another fragnt of the Thunder Emperor’s Seal, if the so-called Holy Son had not yet arrived, no one could bla Xiao Chen for not giving them a chance!
Buzz!
Just then, the Void Teleportation Array in the city erupted with dazzling silver light. A silver-armored young warrior stepped out, holding a short spear in his hand.
The mont he appeared in Dao Tian City, a spiritual storm emanating from him swept through the entire city. Everyone felt an oceanic power roaring past, thrusting the entire ancient city into a quagmire!
“Who is it?!”
Everyone was horrified, with excitent flickering in their gaze. Could it be that the Holy Son had arrived?!
Yet this overwhelming spiritual will found itself blocked before it could even approach the stone que in Dao Tian City!
Inside the stone que, Xiao Chen’s eyes glead with divine light. The newcor was not one of the Holy Sons from the Central Lands, but their strength was no less formidable!
“Interesting.”
In the blink of an eye, the silver-armored youth’s gaze pierced through the void, locking onto the stone que where Xiao Chen resided. Instantly, an exalted fighting will surged forth like a heavenly pillar, soaring to the skies and shaking the nine heavens and ten lands!
Clang!
The short spear in his hand humd, the silver armor clanged, emanating unmatched majesty. Yet the warriors in Dao Tian City were baffled—who was this figure?
Had the rumors not stated that it was a Human Clan Holy Son arriving? This person was clearly not among any of the known Holy Sons!
Could he be an elite dispatched by one of the ancient aristocratic families to intercept Xiao Chen? Otherwise, how could he exude such overwhelming fighting will, his intent directly aid at the Saint Child of the Eastern Wasteland?
“I hail from the Hundred Clans Battlefield. My na is Bai Zhan!”
At last, the silver-armored youth spoke. Having seemingly not spoken for a long ti, his voice erged hoarse.
“You know why I’ve co, don’t you?”
“I know.”
Xiao Chen, of course, understood clearly!
What he hadn’t expected was to encounter, amidst the Holy Sons’ conquest, not just battles among the Holy Sons themselves but also a particular breed of warrior. These individuals, though not enfeoffed by the Human Emperor nor possessing Hidden Dragon Fortune, could still fight to seize it!
In ancient tis, there had existed such figures in the Human Clan—starting from nothing, utterly naless in the Human Realm, but through their strength alone, they clawed their way atop the ranks by slaying Holy Sons and usurping their Hidden Dragon Fortune, ultimately stepping upon the path of the Human Emperor!
Evidently, the silver-armored youth before him was just such a figure, and Xiao Chen was now the prey in his sights!
Such cases were exceedingly rare, for those who could beco Holy Sons were unparalleled in talent, bloodline, combat prowess, and destiny. To overturn such fates was unimaginably difficult!
In this mont, Xiao Chen smiled faintly. It seed this era’s Holy Son conquest was going to be quite different!
As hidden dragons were poised to ascend, and serpents and dragons rose together, the question of who the true dragon was grew only more entangled!
Xiao Chen’s gaze pierced through the void, landing on the silver-armored youth. Behind him, a faintly visible, serpent-like essence lood. Yet it had not fully ford, at best resembling a massive python, not yet a hidden dragon!
However, to manifest even a serpent form signified that he must have already seized a quarter of a Human Clan Holy Son’s fortune. Without it, no essence of fortune could materialize behind him.
Once he seized more Hidden Dragon Fortune, his serpent form would evolve into a dragon, fulfilling the qualifications of a Holy Son. At that ti, he would hold the title of a true Holy Son!
Surrounding him were countless fragnted remnants of wills, twisted and feral, clawing and roaring. There were entities from the Saint Clan, the Demon Clan, and the Yu-Xian Clan—too many to count. These remnants were full of enmity, writhing around him with an intent to tear him apart.
Yet they also bore fear and dared not move forward.
It was clear that the number of alien races this man had slaughtered was unimaginably terrifying!
He was a true battle general of the Human Clan!
With such battle achievents and fortune bolstering him, it was no wonder he dared to vie for the Holy Son’s title!
“Saint Child of the Eastern Wasteland, do you dare to fight ?!”
The war spear in his hand humd, releasing a resonant clang like the beating of a celestial war drum. Bai Zhan pointed it directly at Xiao Chen. Though devoid of any blood qi surges, the invisible killing intent pierced through the void, creating a passage through the Void.
“Why would I not dare fight?”
Xiao Chen stepped forward. He hadn’t encountered the Human Clan Holy Son but instead had drawn a challenger seeking to usurp the Holy Son’s title. How intriguing!
At this mont, Xiao Chen’s eyes glead with an indescribable light. To Bai Zhan, this gaze felt like being targeted by a fierce predator. It was an instinctual perception!
It seed Xiao Chen had an unsettling consideration for him!
“However!”
Xiao Chen imdiately spoke again, breaking the silence of their distant confrontation.
“Just as I thought!”
Bai Zhan’s gaze grew grave. Born and bred on the Hundred Clans Battlefield, his cultivation was forged through countless bloody slaughters. He couldn’t even recall the number of battles he had survived—the injuries he had endured, the brushes with death he had faced.
But every blood-soaked battle had gifted him a profound clarity—especially in sensing killing intent. For Bai Zhan, it was crystal clear.
More importantly, it had instilled in him a creed: even against the weakest enemy, one must strive with all their might until they were completely, undeniably dead!
This was why he had managed to seize a Holy Son’s fortune; in every encounter, he acted with caution and commitnt. Such qualities had ensured his survival amidst bloodshed ti and ti again!
“However, what?”
A sharp voice full of murderous intent erupted, accompanied by a surge of blood-laced light from Bai Zhan’s body!
“Defeat , and I will complete your lacking Hidden Dragon Fortune, directly solidifying your status as a Holy Son!”
Bai Zhan’s eyes flickered briefly. His fortune was still in its serpent stage. Even if he defeated Xiao Chen, he would still need to conquer two more Holy Sons to transform his serpent into a hidden dragon!
Defeating Xiao Chen would grant him thrice the fortune. Bai Zhan didn’t believe Xiao Chen would lie. Winning such fortune would save him from much arduous chasing.
Xiao Chen, it seed, intended to wager Hidden Dragon Fortune. But what could Bai Zhan stake in return?
“You…”
In a fleeting mont, he understood. He had only one thing to offer—himself!
“Correct. If you win, I will help your serpent ascend to a dragon. If you lose, you will follow and beco my first battle general!”
“Do you dare to take the bet or not?!”
Bai Zhan inhaled deeply, his gaze locking firmly onto Xiao Chen. As if sensing its master’s fiery fighting spirit, the war spear humd sharper than before!
Its resonant clang was like the echoes of a fresh bloody slaughter!
“Do you dare or not?!”
Xiao Chen’s eyes remained fixed on Bai Zhan, the corners of his lips curving into a slight smile. He believed the man before him wouldn’t refuse!
Three tis the Hidden Dragon Fortune! If he won, his serpent would transform into a true dragon. For a battle-hardened warrior who had experienced countless bloody slaughters, how could he not dare?
“Then let us fight!”
A voice filled with murderous resolve resounded, and two streaks of light shot into the firmant, piercing through the sky vault and into the endless starry skies!
“Kill!”
A single word of killing intent rang out, and Bai Zhan attacked first!
Accompanied by his murderous cry, his war spear glowed with blood, its thick blood qi wrapping around it. The spear, shockingly, was made of bone!
The bloodied spear cut through the starry sky, turning its brilliance to darkness in an instant!
The blood spear ripped through the skies with a gaping fissure trailing behind, like the open maw of a beast aiming to swallow Xiao Chen whole. Following the trajectory of this great rift, Bai Zhan closed in on Xiao Chen!
Close combat!
A flicker of surprise appeared in Xiao Chen’s eyes; he hadn’t anticipated Bai Zhan to face him head-on, unleashing a torrent of killing intent right out of the gate!
Clang!
Xiao Chen threw a punch, colliding with the blood spear. His fist force glead like divine light, striking the spear’s tip. Blinding light erupted, and the two combatants trembled slightly, shattering the void beneath their feet as they recoiled from the impact!
