Chapter 706 - Iron Demonic Wolf

Chapter 706 - Iron Demonic Wolf

Long Chen had left numerous fist prints onto the walls of the small cave. He had cultivated continuously for four days straight without rest until he filled the entire cave with his fist prints.

He was the type to exhibit more strength the more desperate the situation was. He had managed to advance into the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage due to the pressure from the young master of the Divine clan. The oppressive pressure had forced his essence to grow stronger!

While he cultivated, the dragon-shaped Martial Soul in his sea of consciousness became clearer and more solid. Its aura also grew stronger to the point that even Long Chen was slightly afraid of it. But deep down, he knew that the Martial Soul was himself.

A cultivator’s soul can be separated into two different parts: the Divine Soul and the Martial Soul. The Divine Soul controlled their thoughts, and was further separated into the three spirits and seven souls. The Martial Soul, on the other hand, was formed from their cultivation. It controlled their essence and was the core of their battle strength. It was also the condensed consciousness of a cultivator.

As his Martial Soul became stronger, more and more Earthly Qi entered his body and became his Dragon Soul Essence. Long Chen steadily grew stronger!

The wild energy burst forth from Long Chen’s body.

“I’m already this strong at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage ... I suppose the young master could kill me with one finger at his cultivation level.” Long Chen reflected deeply on the gap between him and the young master.

The young master of the Divine clan wasn’t at the Heavenly Martial Realm yet, but the gap was still large. Long Chen still couldn’t defeat the young master even though he had just made a breakthrough.

But he was not in a rush.

“Since you want Xiaolang, I will let you make him stronger. I will then take him back later. I want to see what kind of expression you will make. Do you really think that Xiaolang is someone you can tame?”

Several days later, Long Chen finally solidified his strength at the Fourth Earthly Martial Stage. If he transformed now, his strength would be on par with someone at the Fifth Earthly Martial Stage. He also had various strong techniques such as the Scarlet Emperor Burning Heaven Seal that could kill someone at the Sixth Earthly Martial Realm with ease.

It was impossible to improve if one stagnated in the same place for too long. Long Chen set his heart straight and solidified his strength before he embarked on a new journey.

To fight to the death!

Long Chen navigated the lush forest while using Sight. The forest was incomparably big and littered with various spiritual herbs. Long Chen also found certain places that were filled with signs of fighting. Someone fought here for the sake of the spiritual herbs.

Ten thousand people had entered the Ancient Graveyard, but the place was so big that Long Chen didn’t meet anyone as he traveled. However, the signs of fighting were everywhere. There were even places where trees were uprooted with a lot of beast blood scattered.

The competition in the Ancient Graveyard is intense!

Long Chen squinted and followed the traces of battle.

There’s someone fighting up ahead. Long Chen suddenly heard the sound of people fighting. He realized that information was his biggest weak point in the Ancient Graveyard, as he didn’t know a lot of things that the others did. This meant that he had to be more passive than usual. He needed to obtain information about this place as soon as possible!

He followed the sound of fighting.

While he moved forward, he realized that the number of trees around him was slowly thinning out.

Is this the edge of the forest? Long Chen noticed that the trees, flowers, and grass were thinning out. Even the lush atmosphere was slowly disappearing. He walked forward until he left the forest.

He found himself in an open field that had a very bright glare.

Long Chen squinted and looked forward. The area in front of him was completely different from the forest and was more similar to his concept of what the Ancient Graveyard would look like.

In front of him was a desolate plain without any plants. The only thing in the desolate plains was the dark-brown earth that lacked nutrients. Long Chen looked closer to find that the ground was covered in metal dust! The entire plain in front of him was covered in metallic dust! It was more accurate to say that he was in a desert composed of metallic dust.

There were also numerous steel spikes growing from the ground. They were sharp as the sunlight reflected on the cold metal. Some of them even had traces of blood on them.

It was a world of metal.

The world of metal in front of him appeared to be roughly the same size as the forest.

Ancient Graveyard ... The treasure of the Five Emperors ... I think I understand now. The Ancient Graveyard is separated into five different districts. I arrived in the wood district, while the one in front of me is the metal district.

The Ancient Graveyard was a strange place.

He looked down at the desolate plains and the occasional large metal piece protruding from the ground when he was once again attracted by the sound of people fighting. He looked towards the source of the sound to find that a group of people was fighting against demonic beasts. Long Chen was immediately attracted to the demonic beasts and saw that they were wolves. The small pack of wolves numbered in the dozens, but each of them was larger than a horse! Hmm ... That shouldn’t be their true form. They can probably change their size to adapt to the battle just like Xiaolang.

The Ancient Graveyard was a scary place, and the demonic beasts weren’t weak either. Each of the wolves was at least at the Category Four King-tier. To think that the Heavenly Phoenix, the strongest beast in the Divine Martial Empire, was only as strong as the wolves!

The wolves were unique in that they resembled metal rather than demonic beasts. The gray wolves appeared to have been constructed from metal. They were both sturdy and supple, so bladed weapons barely injured them. They could move nimbly and were stronger than regular metal puppets!

They also appeared to be sturdier than Xiaolang. Long Chen would’ve thought that they were metal puppets if it wasn’t for the scent of their blood.

Each wolf was fighting against two humans. The wolves were so strong that the metal sand flew up everytime they attacked. They left holes on the sturdy ground while the attacks from the humans barely did anything!

A hoarse voice came from the group of people. “Brothers, don’t stop! If we kill them, we can sell their metal stones and demonic cores for a lot of King Crystals! The metal stones in their bodies are very precious!”

Long Chen saw a tall, muscular man with dark skin. His scarred face depicted intense bloodlust.

Wait, isn’t he Du Jiu? The leader of the group Shao Yu was in?

Long Chen had gotten to know Shao Yu on the starplate. Shao Yu was also the one who had given Long Chen a lot of information. That was how Long Chen recognized the young master of the Divine clan.

If Du Jiu is here, Shao Yu should be too. Long Chen scanned the crowd and saw the plump Shao Yu fighting against a single wolf alone. Shao Yu was a Fourth Earthly Martial Stage cultivator, and he was waving his large, black ax around. He swung his weapon down hard onto the wolf as he fought intensely.

But Long Chen soon realized that the ax was too large and the Iron Demonic Wolf was too agile. It kept dodging Shao Yu’s attacks, leaving the man exhausted. Everyone else had mostly wrapped up their battles, but Shao Yu was left all alone to fend for himself.

“Boss Du Jiu! Help me!” His essence was depleting and his face was pale. The Iron Demonic Wolf, on the other hand, still had loads of stamina!

The Iron Demonic Wolves had battle tactics that had been passed down for generations. They had perfected it over the years, making them formidable foes. Their claws and teeth were exceedingly hard, enough to leave dents on Shao Yu’s ax, while the ax barely left any wounds on the Iron Demonic Wolf!

A Iron Demonic Wolf would most likely become the strongest being in the Divine Martial Empire if it went there. Even Martial Overlord Zhao Wuji might not have been able to handle such fearsome beasts. They were too strong!

Long Chen wasn’t sure if the Heavenly Phoenix could deal with a single Iron Demonic Wolf either!

Du Jiu had clearly heard Shao Yu’s pleas, but he ignored them. He was toying with his own prey at his leisure. Du Jiu was at least at the Sixth Earthly Martial Realm, stronger than Feng Xuan was. He would have dealt with the Iron Demonic Wolf easily, but he refused to.

“Boss Du Jiu!” Shao Yu was in despair. They had come here together, but because he was the weakest, Du Jiu usually looked down on him. Now Du Jiu even refused to help him. Shao Yu felt bitterness in his heart.

Suddenly, the Iron Demonic Wolf let out a horrifying howl. It opened its large, metallic jaws and pounced towards Shao Yu. The latter panicked and tried blocking it with his ax.

Clang!

The Iron Demonic Wolf bit down hard on his ax, its teeth sinking into the metal. Shao Yu felt an incredible force exerting on his arm and almost lost his ax. He bit down on his teeth and used the last of his essence to seize control of his ax!
