Peerless War God

Xiloh was in high spirits. His eyes were unblinking as he stared at the blood clone.    

"Just a little more. Continue to swallow the blood pills."    

Chen Xiao nodded and did not say much. He grabbed a handful of blood pills and another dozen or so blood pills entered his stomach.    

He had already consumed more than forty blood pills and refined them all.    

"Continue refining."    

Chen Xiao circulated his profound arts and refined them with all his strength, not daring to be careless at all.    

Very quickly, another two months passed.    

On this day, Chen Xiao vaguely felt something. A mysterious feeling floated up to his heart.    

The blood clone sat quietly on the praying mat. The blood-colored aura flowed through his body. It could be seen with the naked eye that a sea of blood had formed around him, and a terrifying blood shadow fluttered up and down.    

This was a phenomenon of the law. It could be seen that the blood clone's cultivation was formidable, and it was definitely not ordinary.    

Numerous ancient and mysterious symbols appeared densely like an ocean, appearing and rising and falling. The aura was terrifying, as if an ancient god was in the world.    

A shocking aura appeared on the blood clone. It was being nurtured from the inside out, becoming stronger and stronger.    

At a certain moment, a sound like something shattering came from the bottom of his heart.    

With a "Pa!", something shattered.    

Chen Xiao, who originally felt depressed and suffocated, felt that the sea was vast and the sky was clear. He felt relaxed.    

Following that, the power of the Heavenly Dao descended from the heavens. A golden light that could be seen with the naked eye shot down and landed on the blood clone.    

Bathed in the power of the Heavenly Dao, the blood clone's aura began to transform, continuously rising.    

After that, the boundless blood shadows and the ancient blood-colored runes that were like a vast ocean quickly converged and fused into the blood clone, continuously increasing its strength.    

After a long time, it slowly calmed down.    

"Hu ~ It's done. The clone has finally broken through the Second Calamity of Longevity. Haha."    

The blood clone slowly opened his eyes and laughed unceasingly.    

Chen Xiao, who was sitting opposite him, also smiled.    

"It's finally done. After expending so much effort, it didn't go to waste."    

Chen Xiao said.    

Xiluo stood on his shoulder and said, "Not bad. This time, I spent 50 blood pills. It's a bit less than I expected. This is good. Let's continue to let the black clone break through. The remaining six blood pills should be enough."    

"Alright."    

Chen Xiao nodded and once again immersed himself in his mind, controlling his black clone with all his might.    

Three years later.    

With a muffled boom, the ground shook a few times, and then it quickly calmed down.    

In the underground hiding place, a giant that was over 100 feet tall stood there with a look of disdain and a shocking aura.    

Three-colored runes flowed on his body and slowly converged, fusing into his body. The blood-colored and black runes interweaved together, reaching a perfect harmony. The three of them were one, and their strength increased by several folds.    

"Collect it."    

Chen Xiao clenched his teeth and circulated his energy with all his might. Only then did the huge black clone slowly shrink to a height of 30 feet.    

The shock just now was caused by the collision of his head with the ground.    

Fortunately, Chen Xiao held back and his aura did not dissipate. Otherwise, this place would definitely collapse.    

The formation that he had painstakingly set up would also be destroyed.    

"Three years and a month. I never thought that your black clone would actually take nearly ten times the time to break through. It's much slower than the blood clone."    

Xilo said indifferently as he ate the fruit.    

Chen Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, the blood pill is extremely compatible with the blood clone's strength, and the compatibility with the black clone is much lower. Other than the Qi and blood energy, the black clone also has demonic patterns and golden patterns. These two forces need time to comprehend and sort out, so it also took more time."    

Xilo nodded. "Not bad. If it was in the outside world, even if it took three hundred years, it might not be possible to break through."    

Hearing that, Chen Xiao agreed and nodded. "That's right. In this Nine-Layered Divine Pagoda, not only are there a large number of blood pills, there is also a spiritual energy that is a hundred times richer than the outside world. It is enough for me to break through to the Second Calamity. If it was in the outside world, there wouldn't be such good conditions."    

"Mm, it's good that you understand. So we have to seize this opportunity and use all means to increase our strength. Only then can we stand undefeated."    

Xi Luo said in a deep voice.    

"Yes, my main body and two clones have both broken through to the Second Calamity Realm. My strength has increased greatly, and I can go deeper into the Demon Beast Plains."    

Chen Xiao said again.    

When Xi Luo heard this, he shook his head, "The strongest Demon Beast in the Demon Beast Plains is only at the Third Calamity Realm. With your current strength, it won't be a problem to hunt them down. However, if you continue hunting Demon Beasts, it will waste your time. There are only a dozen Blood Elixirs left in the Sea of Blood, so it's temporarily enough. You have to hurry and rush to the center of the first level of the Nine-Tiered Divine Pagoda."    

Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment and thought about it.    

"This is the fifteenth year since I entered this place."    

"Yes."    

"It seems that I have to hurry and go to the center of the first level. I still have to find someone else to meet up with. I don't have time to waste on the road."    

Chen Xiao's heart sank as he said.    

"Yes."    

After a day of rest, Chen Xiao left his hiding place and rushed to the center of the first level of the Divine Pagoda.    

He took the map that Senior Brother Yun Lang gave him and carefully looked at it.    

"The first level is even bigger than I imagined. According to the map, my current location should be at the edge of the area. There is still a long distance from the center. Even if I were to hurry, it would take me several years."    

Chen Xiao said with some worry.    

"So, I have to get on the road as soon as possible. After reaching the center of the first level, it won't be too late to make plans."    

Xiluo Dao.    

"Yes, let's go."    

Chen Xiao immediately set off. He released the Spatial Shuttle, and the man and the dog stepped on it, speeding forward at full speed towards the center of the first level.    

A few days later, Chen Xiao stopped in front of a mountain forest.    

"Hmm? There is movement?"    

"Woof." Hei Zi called out, confirming the situation.    

Chen Xiao's face darkened, and he said, "Let's go and hide for a while."    

He immediately lowered his altitude and landed on an inconspicuous mountain top. He used a concealment spell to hide himself, and at the same time, he quickly threw down a few array flags around him.    

"Hide."    

He formed a seal with both hands, and the array flag sank into the ground, concealing itself.    

Not long after, he heard the sound of the air being torn apart. From afar, he saw a blood-colored figure rapidly shuttling through the air, looking extremely miserable. It seemed like he was running for his life.    

And behind this blood-colored figure, there were two people chasing after him with all their might. It was a man and a woman, and they looked extremely aggressive, as if they would not give up.    

The blood-colored figure suddenly slowed down. His body swayed, and he spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. It seemed like he was heavily injured, and he was already at the end of his road.    

This was a middle-aged cultivator with a face full of scars, and he looked extremely ugly.    

His eyes were filled with hatred, and he turned his head with a ferocious expression, "Don't force me."    

The male cultivator who was chasing after the two of them said coldly, "Don't run anymore. You won't be able to escape."
