Peerless War God

Xiao was modest and did not take credit for it.    

Because he knew that in this world, there were many array masters who were more powerful than him. This little trick of his was nothing.    

In comparison, Chen Xiao was a true genius. He was able to comprehend the Master Level Array Formation in such a short period of time, and his future was limitless.    

"So that's how it is." When Chen Xiao heard this, he felt a little better in his heart.    

He just realized that Xiao had hidden a lot of things. From time to time, he would reveal a move, which would also surprise him.    

"Alright, let's not talk about nonsense. You will be in charge of maintaining the array formation, and I will be in charge of guiding it. Only then can we ensure that nothing goes wrong."    

Xiao said in a deep voice.    

Chen Xiao took a deep breath and said, "Alright."    

At this moment, it was the most critical moment. Success or failure was all decided by this.    

"Secret technique, activate."    

Xiao was expressionless as he focused on guiding the array formation. He casually threw out a large number of low-level medicinal pills and spirit fruits into the array formation. As soon as these things entered the array, they immediately turned into a strong aura of vitality and gathered towards the Blood Transformation Fruit in the middle of the array.    

Suddenly, a strange fragrance spread out.    

Chen Xiao's face tightened and he said anxiously, "What is going on? The medicinal strength has dissipated?"    

Xiao's face was indifferent as if he had expected all of this. He said indifferently, "The secret technique of promoting the fruit is a special method. It imitates the environment where the Blood Transformation Fruit grows, but it is not real. It cannot be completely absorbed, so it will naturally be a waste."    

"It's a pity." Chen Xiao sighed.    

"It's not a pity. As long as the Blood Transformation Fruit can be successfully matured, it will be a success." Xiluo said in a deep voice.    

"Alright."    

Chen Xiao did not think about it anymore and did his best to maintain the formation. Under his pained gaze, Xiluo kept throwing a large pile of low-level medicinal pills and spirit fruits into the formation, refining them into the purest life force aura and injecting it into the Blood Transformation Fruit.    

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

The underground hideout had always been safe and sound. Everything was as usual, very calm.    

"Hah."    

Hei Zi raised his head and glanced at Chen Xiao and Xiluo, then sniffed around vigilantly.    

After discovering that everything was normal, he let out a big yawn and lay down again.    

In the middle position, Chen Xiao had a serious expression on his face. His eyes were incomparably focused as he stared at the secret technique formation without blinking.    

"Go."    

With a wave of Xiluo's small hand, the last pile of low-level medicinal pills and ordinary spirit fruits that he had accumulated were also thrown into the formation.    

At this time, Chen Xiao was already a little numb. He only thought to himself, "Having paid such a huge price, I hope it's all worth it."    

After a moment, Xiluo formed a seal with his hands and lightly shouted, "Success."    

As the last wave of life force aura was injected into the Blood Transformation Fruit, the secret technique formation slowly dissipated and turned into nothingness. Only a red fruit floated in midair, floating up and down.    

"Is it done?" Chen Xiao said happily.    

Xiloh stared with his eyes wide open and carefully examined it. In the end, he sighed and said, "It's a pity that it's still a little bit off. It's only a little bit away from maturing to nine thousand years old. If that's the case, the effect of this fruit will be greatly improved. It's just a little bit off."    

Xiloh's words caused Chen Xiao's heart to thump, and he could only smile bitterly.    

It seemed that he had failed in the end.    

"It's a pity." Chen Xiao also sighed, "It seems that this is fate."    

Xiloh tilted his head and thought for a moment. He said, "Although this maturation has not been completely successful, it can be considered half done. If I have more time and more medicinal pills and spirit fruits, it might be a chance. Why don't we wait a little longer?"    

With the abundant spiritual energy in the Nine-Tiered Divine Pagoda and enough low-level medicinal pills and spirit fruits, if he had another thirty to fifty years, he might be able to succeed.    

However, even though that was the case, there was not much time left for Chen Xiao.    

The Nine-Tiered Divine Pagoda would open the passageway after a hundred years. He could not waste any more time.    

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Although this fruit has not matured to nine thousand years old, it can help me break through to the Second Calamity of the Immortal Realm after eating it, right?"    

"Right. Although it has not been successful, it's more than enough to help you break through to the Second Calamity. Do you want to directly consume it and not wait?"    

Xilo was startled and asked.    

Chen Xiao nodded, clenched his teeth, and said, "Time is tight, I can't wait any longer. Eating the Blood Transformation Fruit to increase my realm is more important. I am only at the disaster realm now. Walking in the Divine Pagoda is too dangerous."    

Xilo did not object and only said, "That's fine, as long as you understand. Are you sure you want to do this?"    

"Yes."    

"Alright, you can swallow it now. Hei Zi and I will protect you."    

Xilo jumped onto Hei Zi's head and said indifferently.    

Chen Xiao stared at the Blood Transformation Fruit floating in midair and took a deep breath. He took the fruit and swallowed it in one mouthful.    

When the Blood Transformation Fruit entered his body, it first felt a warm feeling, followed by a terrifyingly high temperature. It was as hot as magma, surging through his entire body, burning his soul.    

An incomparably powerful energy swept over, wave after wave, continuously washing his body and soul, helping him to continuously grow.    

"Ah, refine it for me."    

Chen Xiao let out a muffled groan, clenched his teeth, and said. He hurriedly used all of his mana to refine the medicinal strength of the Blood Transformation Fruit.    

Bang! Bang! Bang! It was like the heart of a giant beast beating, and the medicinal strength of the Blood Transformation Fruit dissolved in his body, emitting crackling sounds.    

With a crack, Chen Xiao's skin split open, turning red, as if it was a piece of red-hot iron.    

A terrifying pain surged into his heart, attacking his soul, making him feel so much pain that he wished he was dead.    

"No, I can't. I must persevere. How can I give up halfway?"    

Chen Xiao gritted his teeth tightly.    

"Don't relax. Keep your mind clear and focus on refining the spirit fruit."    

Xiloh, who was at the side, advised.    

Finally, after an unknown period of time, the pressure of the Blood Transformation Fruit's terrifying power had retreated, and it became gentle. It was being absorbed by Chen Xiao's body bit by bit.    

His physical body and soul had obtained an incomparably huge improvement, as if he had been reborn.    

At the same time, an invisible force of the Heavenly Dao descended from the sky and infused into Chen Xiao's body, causing his soul to be strengthened even further.    

His originally white soul had a trace of golden luster, and it resonated with the Heavenly Dao, as if it had fused into the entire world.    

His soul could be activated with the power of heaven and earth with just a casual breath, and he could command it at any time.    

This kind of marvelous feeling was like a fish in water. It was truly wonderful and indescribable.    

Not only had his soul been improved, but his physical body had also been strengthened. His strength and body's toughness had far surpassed what it was before.    

Of course, compared to the improvement of his physical body, the strengthening of his soul was much more obvious.    

After a moment, Chen Xiao exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and slowly opened his eyes. A faint golden light shot out, penetrating through space, and it was quite shocking.    

It was as if this glance could penetrate a distance of ten thousand miles. His soul was unprecedentedly powerful.
