Chapter 173 Return to Metamorphosis, Activating the Dragon Vein
"Ok?"
Without Chai Xin saying anything, the black ape narrowed his eyes and took a half step forward.
In an instant, a tyrannical aura swept out, and the dozen or so knights were thrown off their horses and almost fell from the clouds.
Don’t think that the black ape is well-behaved in front of Chai Xin, like a good boy, and dare not disobey in the slightest.
But that was because the opponent had absolutely powerful strength to suppress him. After all, he was also a great demon at the peak of the way of killing. Even in the Big Dipper star field, he was definitely at the ancestor level.
When the masters of the major holy places saw him, they would also show great respect and would not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
At this moment, how could he have a good face when facing a few youngsters who have not yet stepped into the Xiantai Secret Realm and still dare to put on airs in front of their master?
If Chai Xin had not been present, Black Ape would not have been able to act on his own. With his violent temper, these dozen people would have been trampled into meat paste long ago.
Even so, the dozen or so knights were not feeling well.
He looked so majestic a moment ago, but now he could not move. All the blood drained from his face, turning it pale, and his eyes were filled with horror.
The leader managed to calm down and said politely, "Seniors, I am from the Yuhua Divine Dynasty..."
"Let's go."
Chai Xin was not interested in listening to his nonsense, so he gave an order and left.
His target was the imperial capital of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty. From the memories of Yu Hong and others, he learned that there were two people at the peak of the Way of Slaying there, who were the most powerful figures in the Divine Dynasty today.
It was Prince Hui Yuming who provoked first, and later on the Yuhua Divine Dynasty repeatedly surrounded and killed him, even resorting to using quasi-imperial weapons. This was already a life-and-death enemy, and Chai Xin was not magnanimous enough to forget it lightly.
Even though the Yuhua Divine Dynasty has a strong foundation and cannot be destroyed, they must pay a sufficient price before the hatred in their hearts can be washed away.
"Commander... Commander, that young man, he... he is!"
At this moment, a knight suddenly stared at Chai Xin's face and his expression suddenly changed.
The commander's heart suddenly skipped a beat and he thought to himself that this was not good. He was the strongest among all the knights, so how could he be slower in reaction than the others and have recognized Chai Xin long ago?
It was just that he was aware of the current situation, so he pretended not to know him, hoping to relax the other party's vigilance so as not to attract murderous intent, and then he could slowly take action later.
Who would have expected that his subordinates would produce such a fool who didn't know the seriousness of the matter and actually exposed Chai Xin's identity in front of him. Isn't this courting death?
Just when he was getting anxious, suddenly several figures rushed out from the city and arrived around the five-colored altar.
These old men with white hair and beards are all royal retainers and elder-level figures. The weakest of them has the cultivation level of the Immortal Realm, and the strongest among them are comparable to the great saints.
Seeing them appear, the commander heaved a sigh of relief and immediately reported: "Elder Liu, this man is a wanted criminal of the Divine Dynasty. Prince Hui was killed by him, and the disappearance of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also related to him!"
At the beginning, Chai Xin was a wanted criminal known to everyone in the Yuhua Star Domain. Later, when Prince Yuhua disappeared after a battle with him, the news became a sensation throughout the world, making his fame spread throughout the cultivator world.
After all, although the Yuhua Divine Dynasty tried its best to cover up and always defined the suppression of Prince Yuhua as "missing", there were quite a few cultivators in the small world at that time.
Especially the disciples of major sects such as Huoyun Palace will not give face to the Yuhua Divine Dynasty.
Who doesn't know that Chai Xin suppressed Prince Yuhua, who was at the level of Zhan Dao, with his strength of the second level of Zhan Dao?
However, no matter how hard all the major forces dug, no one could find any trace of him.
Only a few major sects knew that Chai Xin had opened the ancient starry sky road that day and was most likely no longer in the Yuhua Star Domain.
In order to capture him and retrieve the prince and the Demon-Suppressing Sword, the Yuhua Divine Dynasty spared no effort to monopolize this small world and tried many times to open the Five-Colored Altar, but failed.
However, this place is rich in spiritual energy, and was eventually planned to be a secret place of the Divine Dynasty for the children of officials to practice.
Elder Liu has a handsome appearance. Although he has white hair now, he is still graceful and elegant. It can be seen that he must have been a handsome man when he was young.
He waved his hand to signal the knights to retreat, and he took a step forward, saying solemnly: "My Yuhua Divine Dynasty has never had any enmity with you, why do you keep forcing me? If you are willing to release my crown prince and return the national treasure, we can turn hostility into friendship, which will be harmless to both sides."
The elders must be well aware of the news that Chai Xin suppressed Prince Yuhua. Now that the other party has reappeared and brought with him a few aggressive helpers, they are naturally even more wary and dare not act rashly.
However, his words almost made Chai Xin laugh out of anger, and his eyes were full of speechlessness.
Of course, he could sense that the Elder Liu in front of him was trying his best to show an attitude of "frankness" and "courtesy", hoping that the feud between the two sides would end here.
However, that innate sense of superiority is always revealed.
Generation after generation of high-handedness made it impossible for them to control their inherent arrogance. Every tiny expression actually expressed the same thing:
"We are not pursuing any responsibility, which is already a leniency. You should accept it with gratitude."
I have to say, this is sad.
To put it simply, many aristocratic families who have been in power for a long time have long forgotten what equality and respect are.
Even if you try your best to appear "sincere" and "humble", you will unconsciously reveal arrogance.
Even when he wanted to make peace, he couldn't let go of his inherent arrogance.
That kind of arrogance has long been integrated into their bones. Perhaps only death can truly eliminate it.
"It's really interesting. The so-called noble and powerful sects are really the same. Their ability to put the blame on others is truly amazing."
Chai Xin couldn't help laughing, but his eyes gradually became cold.
"It was clearly you, the sons of the royal family, who were arrogant and domineering and bullied me. I fought back in anger, but you kept chasing me... But in your mouths, it became me who 'repeatedly forced me'?"
His voice was not loud, but it instantly spread throughout the entire small world, and the void was shaking.
The Black Ape, the Barbarian Bull, and the old Taoist priest all took a step forward at the same time. Their aura overwhelmed the heaven and earth, causing all the people in this small world to tremble uncontrollably, and some even collapsed to the ground.
The dragon horse did not move at all, but the flames on its body suddenly grew, wrapping Chai Xin's entire body in it and turning it into a scarlet divine armor.
Although Elder Liu and the others were strong, facing the pressure from the four Slashing Kings, and the close distance between them, their legs trembled and their bodies bent involuntarily.
No matter how they struggled, they eventually lay on the ground in a miserable state like dead dogs.
"Prince Hui was young and ignorant. Although he made mistakes, his crime does not deserve death... Moreover, he is a member of the royal family. Even if he really needs to be punished, it should be reported to His Majesty, and then the emperor will make the final decision..."
Although Elder Liu was crushed to the ground like mud, he remained unyielding and spoke confidently about what he believed in as "truth".
"Young and ignorant? You have your own divine judgment? Old man, I think you have lived like a dog at your age, right?"
Longma chuckled at his amusement, his big eyes full of funny looks.
"Could your emperor be the legendary Lord of Heaven, who can control all the gods and Buddhas in the sky and all the people in the universe? It's fine for him to be a local emperor on his own little piece of land, but he really thinks he is the 'God Emperor'!"
The other three great monsters couldn't help but smile when they heard this.
On the way here, they heard Chai Xin talk about the grievances with the Yuhua Divine Dynasty, and they just thought that Elder Liu was out of his mind. The so-called imperial power, after all, is based on fists.
The strongest person in Yuhua Divine Dynasty so far is only at the Zhandao level. I am afraid he can't last more than ten moves under Chai Xin. How can he still be in awe of the imperial power?
This is not pure bullshit!
"Abolish their cultivation so that they can no longer be so high and mighty."
Chai Xin's casual words determined the fate of these people.
The two Manniu took action immediately. Several rays of light burst out from their bodies and hit the bodies of Elder Liu and others.
Even though they screamed, he still carried out the order firmly.
Finally, without any support from their cultivation, the three of them fell from the clouds. Fortunately, their physical strength was still there, otherwise they would have been killed.
Despite this, the source of their divine power has been destroyed, and not only will their strength be difficult to improve, but their combat power will also degenerate to below the fourth level.
Even life span will be greatly shortened.
For those who have a high-handed mentality and feel they are superior to others, this is tantamount to the most painful torture.
"Let's go to the capital of Yuhua Dynasty."
Chai Xin didn't look at those people again. He waved his sleeves to tear the space and escaped from the small world directly.
For him now, this small world that has lost its creator can be entered and exited at will without any external force.
The group of people were all extremely powerful, so their speed was naturally not slow, and they covered dozens of miles in an instant.
They did not deliberately hide their whereabouts, and with the spread of those people in the small world, the news of Chai Xin's return quickly spread.
Many major sects were secretly excited. Such a talented and brilliant person was able to transcend realms and suppress Prince Yuhua several years ago. Although he had the help of external forces, he was definitely a monster.
Now that he is back, there will definitely be a clash with the Yuhua Divine Dynasty. These great religious leaders, who are at odds with the Divine Dynasty, will naturally be happy to see this happen.
Chai Xin and his companions were moving so fast that even though the major forces wanted to pay attention, they were unable to track them.
Fortunately, they would borrow domain gates from major cities from time to time, and their image was very unique. Not only were there two people and a horse, but there were also golden bulls and black apes more than two meters tall, so there would always be news coming out.
A day later, they finally left the northern border, set foot in the eastern land, and entered the true sphere of influence of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty.
In comparison, the small world in the north is just an "enclave" of the Yuhua Divine Dynasty.
If the North Territory had not originally been a world of ice and snow, with very few cultivators of all kinds and almost no major forces, it would have been difficult for the Yuhua Divine Dynasty to gain a foothold there.
"Master, this area seems to have been tampered with."
Taoist He looked at a mountain in front of him and suddenly spoke.
In the distance, the mountain range looked like a giant dragon lying on its side, with a hidden dragon energy that was about to burst out. However, it was obvious that someone had arranged a way to suppress the dragon energy.
There was a sharp murderous intent faintly.
Not only Taoist He, but the others also noticed the clues and showed interest on their faces.
These guys are not afraid of anything, and the journey was too peaceful, which made it a bit boring.
"No matter what means he has, we will just crush him along the way."
Longma didn't care at all and walked in front carrying Chai Xin.
It’s no wonder that he is so bold. With his strength and speed, he would dare to venture into even the most dangerous place.
What's more, there is this guy with unfathomable fighting power on his back.
"Someone came to greet me."
Chai Xin chuckled, stepped off the dragon horse's back, and stepped on the ground.
"Who is this lowly bastard who dares to ambush my master?" The black ape roared and took out a forty-meter-long sword, ready to reveal his true form that was more than ten feet long.
His voice shook the whole area like the sound of a huge bell, and his murderous aura rose into the sky, scaring countless birds and beasts so that they fled madly.
"It's okay, let me ask him to come out."
Chai Xin stopped the black ape that was about to go crazy and lightly stepped on the ground with his feet.
"Boom!"
It was not seen how much effort he put in, but the mountains hundreds of miles ahead suddenly shook violently, making an earth-shaking roar.
As he took slow but firm steps, the mountain began to tremble more violently.
In the end, it was about to turn over, so that the entire earth, within a radius of nearly a thousand miles, was shaking like a dragon turning over, comparable to the wonders of nature.
This is the dragon-treading method in the Yuantian secret art, which is considered a wonderful technique to control the landforms of mountains and rivers. Although Chai Xin is now a Yuandi master and cannot easily restrain dragon veins and catch the divine source, it is not difficult to attract a dragon vein.
The people of Yuhua Divine Dynasty wanted to use the small dragon vein in front of them to set up a terrifying killing formation and kill him here. This was really a wrong calculation, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a pipe dream.
Using an innate dragon vein to set up a killing array, and having a strong man control the key points, an ordinary king of the way of slashing would most likely fall, and even death is not impossible.
However, using such means on a source master is tantamount to tying oneself up in knots.
What's more, the power of this source master is comparable to that of a saint.
Long Ma and the other three followed closely behind Chai Xin. They saw that with just a wave of his hand, the core of the killing array in front of him was activated, and the dragon veins in it were even made to run wild. They all showed expressions of awe.
This unrealistically young master always managed to use methods that were refreshing yet extremely powerful, and he was simply unfathomable.
After Chai Xin took 981 steps, the mountain in front of him suddenly stabilized and the shaking of the earth stopped.
However, one of the giant dragons formed by the condensation of fate completely broke free from the ground, rolled in the air, and spewed flames ferociously.
No one would remain calm if their nest was messed up like this.
"Ah! Run!"
"Damn it, why did the dragon vein suddenly go berserk?"
At this time, screams suddenly rang out in the mountains, and many figures fell from the void, with blood spilling into the sky.
"A bunch of useless things!"
Suddenly, a burly figure appeared, his voice resounded through the heavens and the earth, his tone was full of majesty and solemnity, which made people feel awe.
