Peerless War God

Seeing this, Chen Xiao took away Zhong Kai's storage ring and the Nine Extremes Sword from the air. He raised his hand and burned Zhong Kai's corpse into ashes, leaving nothing behind.    

"Let's go."    

Chen Xiao used Spatial Shift and disappeared from where he was.    

The entire process took less than a dozen breaths of time, and he killed Zhong Kai and destroyed the evidence.    

Several hours later, in a hidden underground place.    

"Formation,"    

As the last array flag fell, a protective formation was set up. Only then did Chen Xiao feel at ease.    

Xiluo sat on the ground and was digging out things from Zhong Kai's storage ring.    

In the blink of an eye, the things piled up into several small mountains. The light of treasures flashed, and it was a spectacular sight.    

Chen Xiao glanced at them and focused his attention on Zhong Kai's Nine Extremes Sword. He held it in his hand and sized it up carefully. He couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.    

"The nine swords of the Mysterious Heaven Spirit Treasure are indeed good things. It's a pity that this thing is too eye-catching and can't be used directly."    

The Nine Extremes Sword was Zhong Kai's life-bound magic tool. Once it appeared, it would definitely be recognized.    

At that time, wouldn't it be exposed that he was the true murderer of Zhong Kai, and it would definitely attract the thunderous revenge of the Immortal Weapon Sect?    

If that happened, it would be a loss for the gains.    

Therefore, even though the treasures were good, he could only look at them and not use them.    

Chen Xiao sighed and kept the Nine Extremes Sword. Then, he turned his gaze to Xiluo.    

"There are really a lot of good things. Tsk, Heavenmend Pills, you need them."    

Xiluo threw out a few bottles of Heavenmend Pills and gave them to Chen Xiao.    

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "As expected of the Second Elder of the Immortal Weapon Sect, you have a lot of treasures on you. This time, you did not lose out at all."    

As he spoke, he took out a Heavenmend Pill and stuffed it into his mouth.    

The injuries on his body were not light. He was injured by Zhou Kuang's blade. If he were to slowly recover, who knew how long it would take for him to fully recover. Only this Heavenmend Pill could help him heal his injuries as soon as possible.    

"Earth Marrow Spirit Liquid, top-grade immortal jade, tsk, so many treasures. Now, they are all yours."    

Xiluo threw another gourd to Chen Xiao. He opened it and a shocking amount of spirit energy surged out.    

With just a sniff, he felt that the spirit energy was abundant and full of power. He had recovered quite a bit.    

"Earth Marrow Spirit Liquid seems to be better than the Life Spirit Liquid." Chen Xiao said in surprise.    

"Of course, but the amount is a little too little. Before the critical moment, it's best not to use it. Also, these pills, if you can refine all of them, you can even break through to the Third Calamity Realm."    

Xiluo said excitedly.    

Chen Xiao nodded and let out a long sigh. He slapped his thigh and said, "It's really worth it."    

Xiluo tidied up his things and said, "Alright, cut the crap. Hurry up and heal your injuries. After swallowing the pills and cultivating to the next level, if you really break through to the Third Calamity, even if you meet the Ice Phoenix again, you won't have to fear it."    

"Yes, okay."    

Immediately, Chen Xiao sat down on the ground and began to treat his injuries, refining the Heaven Mending Pill.    

In the blink of an eye, three years had passed.    

On this day, Chen Xiao exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. Lightning surged on his body, gathering and not dispersing. Around him, there was a Five Elements Eight Trigrams diagram, attracting the spiritual energy of the heavens and gathering it.    

At this moment, not only had his injuries healed, even his aura had reached a higher level, faintly showing signs of breaking through.    

At a certain moment, Chen Xiao's face suddenly turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His body staggered and fell to the side.    

Sitting at the side, Xi Luo, who was eating, saw this and asked anxiously, "Are you alright?"    

"Woof."    

Hei Zi also raised his head, his eyes filled with concern.    

Chen Xiao propped himself up and sat up straight. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm fine. I failed to break through to the Third Calamity Realm and suffered a backlash. It's just a small injury, and I'll be fine after some rest."    

As he spoke, he took out a Heaven Mending Pill and stuffed it into his mouth, refining it.    

Xi Luo heaved a sigh of relief and complained again, "Don't be impatient."    

Chen Xiao shook his head helplessly and said, "I was too impatient. I always thought that after breaking through to the Third Calamity Realm, I would be able to walk around the Nine-Tiered Divine Pagoda more easily. I was a little anxious."    

Xi Luo looked at him deeply and rolled his eyes. He said, "You've improved really fast. Don't be anxious."    

"I feel that I'm only a step away from breaking through to the Third Calamity Realm, but I always feel like I'm missing something."    

Chen Xiao scratched his head.    

"Your realm breakthrough is too fast, and your foundation is unstable. Your aura is weak, so you need to settle down for a while."    

Xilo said again.    

"Settle down? What do you mean?"    

"It's very simple. You need to practice more," Xilo said lightly.    

"Practice?"    

"Yes, practice more, and fight more, so you can stabilize your foundation and make it easier for you to break through."    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao said, "Mm, that's very reasonable. It's not difficult to find an opponent in the Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda. Although there aren't many other things, there are actually quite a few demonic beasts."    

"Yes," Xilo nodded and said.    

Chen Xiao took out the map Yun Lang gave him and looked at it carefully. He quickly confirmed a place.    

"This is a vast plain, not far from me. It's also the path that I have to take to the center of the Divine Pagoda. It's a good place for me to practice."    

Xilo looked at it and muttered, "Demonic Beast Plain? This name is quite casual, but it's really quite big."    

"Mm, let's go take a look. Hopefully, you won't disappoint me."    

"Let's go."    

Since he had made his decision, he was quite straightforward. After putting away the array flag, he set off for the Demonic Beast Plain.    

Ten days later, Chen Xiao arrived at the edge of the Demonic Beast Plain. Looking at it from a distance, it was boundless, and he couldn't see the end.    

"What a big plain. This is a good place." Chen Xiao said.    

"Yes."    

"Woof."    

At this time, Hei Zi, who was beside his feet, called out.    

Chen Xiao turned his head and looked at it with a puzzled expression, "What's wrong?"    

"Dog Zi found something. It must be some treasure. Let's go and take a look," Xi Luo said.    

Chen Xiao became interested and patted Hei Zi's head, saying, "Alright, you lead the way in front."    

Hei Zi happily called out twice, then spread its feet and rushed out.    

After a while, Hei Zi stopped and rushed towards a lump of black stuff on the ground.    

"..." Xi Luo.    

"..." Chen Xiao.    

He was stunned for a moment and shouted, "Get back here."    

"Woof, woof." Hei Zi was very unwilling and began to whine. It looked at the thing emitting a strange smell and seemed reluctant to part with it.    

When Chen Xiao saw this, he could not help but scold, "Dog thing, you really can't change. Come back."    

Hei Zi lowered its head and circled around Chen Xiao's feet, crazily twirling around and wagging its tail, acting like it was trying to curry favor.    

When Chen Xiao saw this, he swung his trousers a few times with a face full of disdain.    

"Damn dog, go further away. You can't really eat this thing, right?"    

Seeing that Chen Xiao wanted to vomit, Hei Zi jumped even more excitedly, "Wow, woof."    

Xi Luo had a helpless expression. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, "Eh, there seems to be something."
