Peerless War God

"Hey, Chen Xiao brat, do you really think that Liu Qingkong has made a mistake?"    

A baby-sized head grew out of the huge and messy black vines. It was wood, and it looked very lively. It was the one that had been digesting the corpses of the sea tribe.    

Over the past few days, the aura of Xilo had been increasing day by day, and it was changing every day.    

Even Chen Xiao was shocked when he saw it.    

Xilo's aura was faintly above Chen Xiao's. However, since they had already coexisted with each other, Chen Xiao's own strength was also increasing bit by bit, mainly the strengthening of his physical body.    

In the battle before, the injuries on his body had long healed, and it was also thanks to Xilo.    

Chen Xiao did not answer Xilo's question, because that was really not important.    

He changed the topic and asked curiously, "Your strength has become stronger recently because of the corpses of the sea tribe?"    

"Yes. To us plant spirits, blood is a great tonic. Don't you know how to plant trees and flowers?"    

Xilo asked back.    

Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "No."    

Xilo rolled his eyes, as if he was looking at a child, and said, "You really are lucky to have met me. Otherwise, you wouldn't even know how many times you've died."    

Chen Xiao laughed and said, "When I saved you back then, I had to sacrifice half of my life. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to survive. You would have been sealed to death long ago. Let's be even."    

"..." Helo could not refute him. After all, what Chen Xiao said was the truth.    

Helo said with a bit of wickedness, "Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, the more the better. It is a great tonic. Ask your subordinates to collect the blood and bring it here."    

"Yes, of course. I have already ordered them to do so." Chen Xiao nodded.    

The corpses of the sea race were comparable to powerful demonic beasts, and they could be said to be full of treasures. Whether it was used to make talismans or to refine weapons, or to refine pills, they were all top-grade materials that were scarce.    

Now, in Violet Cloud City, these top-grade materials could be sold at a high price, and there was no market for them. They were very popular.    

If it were in the past, Chen Xiao would not easily let go of such a large sum of money.    

But it was different now. The big picture was more important. First, he had to strengthen his own strength, and then it would not be too late to think about other things. If he could not pass this trial, then no matter how much money he had, it would be meaningless.    

"That's good. Oh right, how is the refinement of your Spirit Fortifying Pill? How much of your Spiritual Force have you recovered?"    

Helo asked with concern.    

He and Chen Xiao shared a life. Although he could directly see the condition of Chen Xiao's soul, he still asked out of respect.    

Chen Xiao understood and smiled. He said, "About ten percent."    

"So little? Only ten percent?"    

Chen Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Ten percent is already very fast. If I don't have the Spirit Fortifying Pill, I will probably need eight to ten years to recover to this level."    

"That's true. The God Fortifying Pill is indeed a good thing. You should refine it well."    

Xilo said.    

"Don't worry, I'm more concerned about it than you are."    

"Okay."    

Xilo went silent again and refine his own blood to extract the power from it. This process was very long.    

Seeing this, Chen Xiao calmed down again and thought about the next action plan.    

"According to the reports from the scouts sent out, the Dragon Palace is very quiet and peaceful. Nothing has happened, and there is no counterattack as expected. Could it be that the Dragon Palace has admitted defeat and given up?"    

Chen Xiao did not believe it, but the current information was like this, there was no more.    

But for safety's sake, the preparations for the battle on Tianhai Island, especially the repairs of the island's protective formation, must not be delayed at all. It must be carried out with all its strength.    

After beating Liu Qingkong's Liu Family, this matter would be much smoother.    

"As the old saying goes, do as you can. As long as you defend your own side of Tianhai Island well, even if the Dragon Palace comes back, you will be completely unafraid."    

Chen Xiao was greatly assured, and his confidence increased by a hundred times.    

He closed his eyes and entered meditation again, continuing to refine the God Fortifying Pill, striving to recover his soul power as soon as possible.    

...    

At the same time.    

In the depths of the Endless Sea, the Dragon Palace.    

The tense atmosphere loomed over the entire Dragon Palace, and it was reflected on the faces of every single member of the Sea Race or the Dragon Race. They were all trembling in fear, and their eyes were filled with deep unease.    

The truth was that the news of the Dragon Palace suffering a great defeat had already spread throughout the entire Dragon Palace. Fear and chaos were spreading everywhere.    

The atmosphere in the Golden Hall of the Dragon Palace was extremely oppressive. Ao Yu’s face was dejected as he sat on the throne of the Golden Dragon King. His eyes were filled with deep worry as he looked down at the experts of the Dragon Palace below.    

Facing Ao Yu’s gaze, not a single expert of the Dragon Palace dared to speak. They even lowered their heads and remained silent.    

The loss of the battle with the Heavenly Sea Island was too great of a blow to the Dragon Palace.    

Not only did they suffer great casualties, even Old Yu was severely injured, and he was barely alive.    

The atmosphere was extremely heavy and lifeless.    

Finally, Ao Yu was the first to break the silence. He exhaled deeply and asked, “How is Old Yu’s injury?”    

Hearing this, the Golden Hall finally regained its vitality.    

At this moment, a royal member of the Dragon Palace stood out. He was a Jiao Dragon, and he replied, “Reporting to Palace Master, Old Yu’s injury is extremely severe. Although the old ancestor took action, he only protected his heart meridian and preserved his last breath. After a round of full-hearted treatment, his condition has slightly improved.”    

When these words came out, a chorus of exclamations immediately broke out. All the experts of the Dragon and the Sea race looked at each other in dismay.    

Without exception, they were all extremely fearful of the Heavenly Sea Island and Chen Xiao.    

They dared to guarantee that if such a thing happened to them, their outcome would only be worse than Old Man's.    

Hearing this, Ao Yu's face turned cold, "So serious? How long will it take to cure him?"    

Old Man was seriously injured. To the Dragon Palace, this was a huge loss. Without such a strong and powerful immortal-level combat power, it was almost impossible for the Dragon Palace army to retaliate.    

Even if Ao Yu was unwilling to accept this, he would have to wait for Old Man to recover first.    

"This..." The royal family of the Dragon Palace swallowed a mouthful of saliva and revealed a troubled expression.    

Ao Yu became angry when he saw this and scolded, "What are you stuttering for? Just say it."    

"Yes, Palace Master. It will take a few hundred years, or even a thousand years."    

The royal family of the Dragon Palace said and immediately knelt down on the ground, not daring to raise his head to look at Ao Yu.    

"What?"    

Ao Yu was so angry when he heard this news that his nose was crooked. He stood up with a fierce expression.    

"A few hundred years, or even a thousand years? How could this be?"    

"Old Man was actually so seriously injured. This is too terrifying."    

"Sigh, Old Man really suffered a great loss. It was not easy for him to survive, so he can only slowly recuperate. It can't be rushed."    

Not only Ao Yu, but all the experts of the Dragon Palace in the hall also changed their expressions and discussed endlessly.
