Chapter 422: Universal Transporter
Chapter 422: Universal Transporter
The Dark Moon Tiger King was roaring at the skies, but Long Chen and Xiaolang’s arrival instantly attracted its attention, especially because Xiaolang was radiating an aura that made it anxious. In the past, it would not have been afraid of Xiaolang, but it had just begun to recover from a severe injury. Its heartbeat quickened when it saw Long Chen and Xiaolang, but due to its dignity as the king of beasts, not only did it not retreat, it became extremely furious!
Roar!
The Dark Moon Tiger King let out an intimidating roar as a warning for Long Chen to leave quickly or it would not hold back.
“Universal Transporter!” Ling Xi suddenly cried from within the Ling Xi Sword. There was surprise in her voice.
Long Chen froze and asked in confusion, “What?”
“Look! Behind the Dark Moon Tiger King is the Universal Transporter. That’s the mysterious array your master mentioned. You should be able to reach the Divine Martial Territory through this Universal Transporter. I was just wondering why a Heaven-tier beast would appear in the Cangyang Kingdom! This is why,” Ling Xi explained, suddenly understanding.
Long Chen saw a faint array on the ground behind the Dark Moon Tiger King. It was about twenty meters in diameter. Mysterious symbols flickered gently within the array, but without close observation, it was not easy to notice it.
This was the Universal Transporter that could instantly transport Long Chen to the Divine Martial Territory.“Xiao Xi, can you tell me what it is?”
“The Universal Transporter requires energy in order to activate and transport a person. Usually, Universal Transporters like this small version in front of you require Heavenly Passage Pills to activate. If you want to get to the Divine Martial Territory, you’ll probably need a lot of Heavenly Passage Pills.”
Long Chen had heard Zhao Qingyun talk about the Heavenly Passage Pill before. The Heavenly River Realm had Heavenly River Pills, so naturally, the Heavenly Passage Realm had Heavenly Passage Pills. Cultivation at the Heavenly Passage Realm was similar in concept to the Heavenly River Realm, but instead of condensing eighteen heavenly rivers, it focused on the formation of the nine great meridian points in the body!
Long Chen did not know which meridian points specifically, but he knew that Heavenly Passage Pills were imperative for their formation. It was just like how Heavenly River Pills were required for progressing through the Heavenly River Realm, but Heavenly Passage Pills were countless times more expensive.
“Xiao Xi, are you saying that this Dark Moon Tiger King and the previous Dark Moon Tiger passed through the Universal Transporter? And they’re demonic beasts from the Divine Martial Territory?” It all suddenly made sense to Long Chen.
“I think so. The beasts do not have Heavenly Passage Pills on them. They probably entered the Universal Transporter by accident, but because they did not have Heavenly Passage Pills, the Universal Transporter directly absorbed their demonic energy instead. This Dark Moon Tiger King’s injuries were due to its demonic energy being sucked dry by the Universal Transporter. The core functions of its body were damaged, which is why it’s in such a sorry state right now. The other Dark Moon Tiger wasn’t injured, probably because it was being protected by this Dark Moon Tiger King!”
Long Chen now understood the situation. In the beginning, he thought he was just so lucky that whatever he wanted would appear. The beasts had long been here, and Long Chen was only able to find this Dark Moon Tiger King because the previous Dark Moon Tiger had wreaked havoc.
As Ling Xi and Long Chen conversed, the Dark Moon Tiger King realized that they would not leave despite its warnings. It had the dignity of a Heaven-tier beast, and despite being injured, it was now truly angered. A thick killing intent rose within it, and it was directed at Long Chen and Xiaolang.
After Long Chen understood everything, his determination to kill the Dark Moon Tiger King solidified. This was the only way he could quickly reach the Ninth River Stage and shock everyone in the Imperial Capital with his extraordinary strength!
When Ling Xi saw the desire to fight in his eyes, she had no choice but to swallow her words despite having much to say. She privately decided that after this battle ended, she would tell him what she was hiding in her heart.
Because all she wanted was to be with Long Chen.
Long Chen and Xiaolang locked eyes, then they immediately separated. One on the left and one on the right, they both charged at the furious Dark Moon Tiger King!
Even a starving camel was larger than a horse, let alone a Heaven-tier demonic beast. Long Chen did not dare let down his guard. As he charged, he quickly completed his Dragon Soul Transformation and activated the demon seed within him. He used the Demon Seed Planting Technique to increase his Qi to the maximum. The Dark Moon Tiger King initially looked down on Long Chen, but now he was a master as strong as Xiaolang that made the Dark Moon Tiger King nervous. It even trembled when Long Chen took out the Demon Emperor Sword!
It sensed that the sword was a weapon capable of injuring it!
“Blood Devouring Domain!” Long Chen used his trump card the moment they started the attack. He had not even used the Blood Devouring Domain against Lin Zichen, showing just how seriously he was taking the Heaven-tier Dark Moon Tiger King!
Blood-red mist engulfed the Dark Moon Tiger King in an instant. The immense sucking force made it roar in panic. It had no choice but to use its demonic power to suppress its bubbling blood, leaving a lot less demonic power to fight!
“Demon Emperor Sword Technique, Supreme Sovereign Sword!”
After using the Blood Devouring Domain, Long Chen leaped off the wall of the mountain and soared like a crane, landing on its head. He swung the Demon Emperor Sword down hard, and a gust of earth-shattering black sword Qi flew towards it. Sand and pebbles flew in the air within the valley, and trees were uprooted all around them!
Roar!
The Dark Moon Tiger King roared furiously and, as quick as lightning, slammed its paw against Long Chen’s Supreme Sovereign Sword attack. The toughness of its body far exceeded Long Chen’s imagination. All the attack had done was leave a white mark on its skin with a slight bit of blood oozing out of the wound.
However, even though it was just a little bit, the beast’s blood flew towards Long Chen as it was under the influence of the Blood Devouring Domain. The Dark Moon Tiger King was in pain and hurriedly used its demonic power to suppress its blood. Then it swiped its other paw quickly at Long Chen’s head!
“Traceless Demon Shadow…” Long Chen turned into multiple shadows circling around the Dark Moon Tiger King and successfully dodged its attack!
This Heaven-tier beast is indeed stronger than any other beast I’ve seen thus far. The attack I launched at maximum strength only left a tiny wound on its body! And it’s injured too! If it were at its peak, Xiaolang and I would probably be no match for it!
Long Chen was privately shocked!
Then Xiaolang ran past Long Chen. He too had reached the second stage of the Demon Seed Planting Technique, and he currently had half as much demonic power as the Dark Moon Tiger King. He slammed his body hard into the Dark Moon Tiger King, and the gigantic force caused the Dark Moon Tiger King to falter several steps back!
Xiaolang quickly retreated with a whoosh. The Dark Moon Tiger King raged and bit at Xiaolang. Its jaws were large enough to swallow Xiaolang whole, and its sharp teeth could definitely split Xiaolang in half with one bite!
A human-like smile appeared on Xiaolang’s face. As he retreated, he opened his mouth, and roaring black flames poured like a flood towards the Dark Moon Tiger King. The flames were like an approaching tide, and they were difficult to dodge. The Dark Moon Tiger King was cautious and had a feeling that the fire would be very powerful. It opened its mouth too, and another fierce, black wave poured out and collided with Xiaolang’s Nine Devils Ancestral Fire!
Sizzle, sizzle!
Black mist rose high into the air, instantly clouding Long Chen’s vision!
As a whole, the Dark Moon Tiger King had underestimated the destructive force of the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire. Although it had done its best to dodge, Xiaolang’s Nine Devils Ancestral Fire still drowned out its black flood. Some peripheral flames hit the Dark Moon Tiger King’s shoulder, and hard ice formed instantly on its body. When it moved slightly, the hard ice shattered, revealing gory blood and flesh!
Xiaolang had successfully used the Nine Devils Ancestral Fire to injure the Dark Moon Tiger King!
Several large, crater-like wounds appeared on the Dark Moon Tiger King’s body, causing it to let out another earth-shaking cry! Immense demonic power erupted from its body—it had gone mad this time! The fierceness of a wild beast exploded from the Dark Moon Tiger King!
The whole valley seemed to move all of a sudden, and Xiaolang quickly retreated. Every swipe of the Dark Moon Tiger King’s claws was powerful. If Long Chen or Xiaolang were hit even once, they would be severely injured. That was why he chose to dodge for the moment while Long Chen was behind the Dark Moon Tiger King!
