842: Chapter 827: Crystal of Ghostly Coldness – Infiltration of the Floating Island!
Atop the Bronze Ancient City Wall, Xiao Chen sat motionless in ditation, seemingly cut off from all the surrounding distractions.
His complexion, which had grown sowhat pale due to exhaustion, had now regained its rosiness.
Once again, the sound akin to a tangible tsunami emanated from within his body, a result of his combat qi filling up anew.
Before him lay a thin layer of powdery residue—the remnants of absorbing crystal stones.
The rich primal energy continuously nourished his limbs and bones, replenishing his blood qi.
Sensing the vital energy radiating from Xiao Chen, a hint of surprise flickered in the eyes of Lord Qingjiao beside him.
Hu!
Finally, Xiao Chen, who had been as still as an ancient stone, opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath of impure air, feeling the abundant combat qi within him as he rose to his feet.
At this mont, Xiao Chen had only recovered his combat qi cultivation.
The blood qi stored within his war body had also been mostly replenished, but the diamond flesh crystals within him still remained incredibly vacant.
Even after consuming elixirs and spirit fruits to restore his spirit, he had only regained about eighty percent of his vitality.
After all, only a few hours had passed, and complete recovery would take more ti.
However, the battle was nearing its end, to the point where victory seed to be beckoning to the Gu Yuan Tribe.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Thunderous noises were coming incessantly from the ancient forests flanking the Bronze Ancient City, drawing Xiao Chen’s attention.
In a mont, he had discerned the cause.
The Blood Clan’s desperate counterattack—he could well imagine how frenetic it would be.
However, he showed no concern.
In those forests on either side lurked no less than twenty thousand War Masters of the Gu Yuan Tribe, dozens of commanders, and even a few Venerables.
If they were unable to deal with the defeated Blood Race Soldiers, it would be a profound disappointnt to him.
“Venerable Jiao, has the Blood Clan made any unusual movents?” Xiao Chen then moved to Lord Qingjiao’s side, looking out toward the Void Floating Island dozens of miles away and asked.
“Nothing unusual.
They appear to be holding their ground on the island.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded slightly.
The greatest reliance of the Blood Clan, the Blood Clan Ancestor, had his body blown apart, with only his remaining soul hiding in a half-king weapon, which Xiao Chen’s Mountains and Rivers Seal had shattered.
Although the Mountains and Rivers Seal was an auxiliary treasure, the divine material it was crafted from was far superior to that of the half-king weapon.
If Xiao Chen had been stronger, he would have already reduced the half-king weapon to dust.
“The Blood Clan Sky Island is a fortress forged by the Blood Tribe for war; its defensive capabilities are imaginable.
Breaking through it from the outside is incredibly difficult.
Venerable Jiao, you have lived through many years and seen much of the world.
I wonder if you have any way to breach the defenses of the Void Floating Island, allowing our Gu Yuan Tribe to invade?” Xiao Chen inquired, facing what seed like a turtle shell—since it could be called a war fortress, its defensive and offensive potency were apparent.
“I have indeed seen the Blood Clan’s Void Fortress, even ones more advanced than the one we face now.
Although they are individually unique, their internal arrangents are quite similar,” said Lord Qingjiao lightly, his gaze then shifting to Xiao Chen as he added, “Just like the Bronze Ancient City beneath the feet of our tribe.”
Clearly, Lord Qingjiao was quite surprised by how Xiao Chen had acquired such a war fortress, as such treasures were not easily crafted by ordinary powers.
“In fact, the war fortresses of the Hundred Clans of Heaven, despite their different shapes and appearances, serve the sa purpose.
Regardless, all war fortresses require an energy source to operate!”
Xiao Chen nodded, remaining silent.
Taking the Bronze Ancient City as an example, beneath the spirit of the central Bronze Tower’s Qingling, there lay the place of energy supply, not to ntion the Elental Stone Cannons, the city’s defensive formations, all of which consud crystal stones.
“And the Blood Clan’s Void Fortress draws its power from the blood pool, the very core of the entire Blood Tribe Floating Island, maintaining the operation of the whole island.
Just like the blood-colored defense shield manifested above the island, it’s powered by the blood pool.”
“As long as the energy from the blood pool is not cut off, even if the defense shield is shattered by overwhelming force, it would instantly recover to its original state.
The only way to prevent this is to smash the Floating Island entirely!”
Xiao Chen thought back to when he first entered the Heavenly River, prompting the Bronze Ancient City to charge towards the Floating Island.
Though a large area of the island’s construction was crushed and the defense shield was shattered, it was restored in an instant.
“Besides, atop the island are the island’s protective array and the blood crystal cannons.
To conquer the Blood Clan’s Void Floating Island, the only way is to sever the energy supply of the blood pool, which would leave the entire island paralyzed.”
“Sever the energy supply!”
A sharp light flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes.
Attempting to break the void defense from the outside would cost too much; after all, the blood crystals accumulated by a family with tens of thousands of years of heritage were terrifyingly abundant.
Even Xiao Chen couldn’t say for sure how long those energies could sustain the operation of the whole island.
One year, two years, or three to five years, maybe even a decade—by that ti, perhaps the Blood Clan Ancestor would have already reincarnated by seizing another body and regained his strength.
Perhaps sensing Xiao Chen’s thoughts, Lord Qingjiao spoke again, “The core of the Blood Clan Floating Island’s energy supply blood pool is the Cold Abyss Crystal, a unique energy crystal that is incredibly chilly.
However, it can convert the energy in the blood pool into various forms required by the Floating Island.”
“Cold Abyss Crystal!”
Xiao Chen vaguely rembered records about this particular type of crystal, unique to the Blood World.
Although it contained no energy of its own, it was capable of converting energy; at its extre, it could even turn cold energy into intense heat, epitomizing the adage that extres et.
“Chief, do you intend to infiltrate the Floating Island and destroy the Cold Abyss Crystal to cut off the island’s energy supply?”
After a pause, Qing Jiao continued, “The atypical environnt is the epito of extre cold, only Supre Yang can resist it.
Even the signature Dragon Fla of my true form, if it were to approach within a foot of it, would be frozen!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen’s expression changed.
This was beyond his imagination.
Even Dragon Fla could be frozen, Qing Jiao’s true body, Qingyan Falling Sky Jiao, belonged to the fire-elent Jiao Long family.
Although it wasn’t the Dao of Supre Yang that he had comprehended, the mysteries of the Qingyan it inherited were as intensely hot as the Fierce Sun, and yet, they could be frozen.
This truly was astonishing news.
“However, our Gu Yuan Tribe does possess sothing that can restrain the coldness of this crystal.” Qing Jiao then changed his tone and spoke up.
“Little Tianma!” Instantly, Xiao Chen reacted and called out.
“Correct!”
Qing Jiao nodded and continued, “Although I don’t want to admit it, I have to say that the bloodline of Qing Jiao within is a few notches inferior to the one that little guy has inherited.”
“That little guy’s lineage of the Dao of Supre Yang cos from the Gold Holy Dragon, while my Qingyan Falling Sky Jiao family is rely a branch of the once fire-elent Divine Dragons, not even the main vein.
If it weren’t for my realm being sowhat higher than that of the little guy, I probably wouldn’t be able to suppress it.
Even now, as its power continues to grow, even without having ascended to the five-star realm, the bloodline’s oppressive force has already affected .”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen thought of Little Tianma, who hadn’t appeared during the blood battle because it was under Qing Jiao’s pressure, advancing its realm.
Unexpectedly, in the end, they still needed it to claim victory for the Gu Yuan Tribe.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but ask again, “Even if Little Tianma advances again, it will only be at the late four-star realm.
Is such strength sufficient to suppress the coldness emitted by the atypical crystal?”
“Although the little guy is currently only at the level of a four-star Trotting Horse, the blood within it belongs to that of a five-star Sun Chasing Colt.
What does Sun Chasing an?
Even the Supre Yang cannot do anything to it, because of its Supre Yang bloodline!”
“Good!”
A few breaths later, a determined look flashed in Xiao Chen’s eyes as he finally made a decision.
The Blood Race Soldiers gathered in the Ancient Forests on either side of the Bronze Ancient City had been wiped out after a day of blood battle by the multitude of warriors from the Gu Yuan Tribe.
Including several Venerables from the Blood Clan, nearly three hundred thousand Blood Race Soldiers had been slain, and the Gu Yuan Tribe itself had also lost tens of thousands of War Soldiers, with nearly one hundred thousand injured.
Tribal Grand Hall.
At this mont, all the Zhong Lou Realm Martial Artists above had gathered.
Even though over a hundred had fallen in the great battle, there were still six hundred Zhong Lou Realm Martial Artists present in the Great Hall.
However, the vast majority had just advanced to the Towering Realm.
If it hadn’t been for Hun Shixin’s sudden attack, which interrupted the clan’s process of accumulating strength, the number of Towering Realm warriors in the Gu Yuan Tribe would have been even greater.
“Chieftain!”
Xiao Chen inford everyone in the Grand Hall about his mission to infiltrate the Blood Clan Sky Island, imdiately causing an uproar.
“Chieftain, I volunteer!”
“I volunteer, willing to infiltrate the Void Floating Island and destroy the Blood Clan’s blood pool!”
…
Even more so, it led to a host of Venerables standing up to volunteer.
“Enough, the Chieftain’s mind is made up!
What’s more, there’s now no one inside the entire Floating Island who can threaten the Chieftain.
As long as we can break through the island’s defenses, crushing the Blood Tribe will be within reach!”
Xiao Chen abruptly stood up and roared, his gaze sweeping across the Great Hall as he shouted again, “Elders, once the defenses of the Blood Tribe Floating Island are gone, the Bronze Ancient City will advance, bringing the island within range of the Ancient City’s Elental Stone Cannons.”
“And what you elders need to do next is to integrate all the War Soldiers of our Gu Yuan Tribe and launch an assault on the island, exterminating the Blood Faint Noble Family entirely!”
“Yes!”
In an instant, a thunderous roar erupted throughout the Great Hall.
“Reporting to the Chieftain, we Towering Realm Martial Artists wish to take the lead, storm the Floating Island, and carve a bloody path for our clan’s War Soldiers!”
The next mont, a Towering Realm Martial Artist called out in unison, volunteering to Xiao Chen!
“Good!” Xiao Chen shouted vigorously, readily agreeing to the proposals of these clan elders.
“Break through the Floating Island, annihilate the Blood Clan!”
