Peerless War God

Other than some rare flowers and herbs, there were only a few mid-grade Protocosmic spirit-treasures. Although they were not bad, they did not pique his interest. What he was interested in were only two treasures.    

One of them was an ink-black long spear with a dragon head embossed on it. Its shape was simple and unadorned, and it exuded an incredibly thick and natural unique aura.    

The dragon-headed ink black spear was over three Zhang long. It was extremely heavy when touched, and it was of the water attribute.    

Chen Xiao injected his Fa Li into the spear, and it instantly shrunk to the size of a normal hand.    

"It's actually a high-grade Protocosmic spirit-treasure, and it also has a water attribute spiritual attack. This is quite suitable."    

A high-grade Protocosmic spirit-treasure was one level higher than the Profound Nether Sword. Its might was naturally incomparable.    

More importantly, this was the deep sea dragon palace. Only water-attribute cultivation techniques could display the greatest amount of power.    

Previously, when he had used the Azure Flame, he had only done it out of helplessness. In truth, it had consumed a tremendous amount of his Immortal energy, and the burden was very heavy.    

With this high-grade Protocosmic spirit-treasure dragon-headed spear, the invisible water blade would be able to unleash a stronger combat ability.    

"I'll call you Black Dragon Spear from now on."    

Chen Xiao caressed the gun with his right hand and casually chose a name.    

Only after looking for a while more did he put away the black dragon spear and began to carefully study the second treasure.    

The second treasure was a pearl, about the size of a baby's fist. It was pure white like jade, sparkling and translucent. It exuded a faint and gentle luster.    

The reason why such a pearl caught his attention was because with the strange pearl as the center, all the seawater within ten feet of it was completely isolated.    

One had to know, this wasn't land, but the water pressure at the bottom of the 30,000-meter depth was frightening.    

Chen Xiao could easily isolate the seawater ten feet away from his body, but he had to constantly use up Fa Li to maintain it. The burden of it was not small.    

This was also the biggest difference between the human race and the sea race.    

Under this deep sea dragon palace, in order to withstand the terrifying water pressure that was everywhere, the human cultivators had no choice but to divide their mana to resist, but the Sea Clan did not have this worry.    

"Could this be the legendary pearl for avoiding water from the sea?"    

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up as he had a bold idea.    

"Master, the Water Spirit Aversion Pearl is a precious treasure of the Sea race. It would not appear in such an inconspicuous palace outside the Dragon Palace, would it?" Qing Feng also said.    

He nodded. That was true.    

The Water-Repellent Spirit Pearl was a precious treasure of the Sea race. Legend has it that those who wield it can completely ignore all water-type magic attacks.    

This was something rarely seen among the human race, but it couldn't be considered that powerful. After all, the majority of human cultivators didn't specialize in just one type of cultivation technique, and those who specialized in water-type cultivation techniques were even rarer.    

However, it was fatal for the Sea Clan.    

Almost all of the Sea Race's experts are experts in water type techniques. Having this Water Repelling Spirit Pearl is equivalent to being able to ignore the Sea Race's attacks. This is a disaster for the Sea Race.    

As a result, this Spirit Aversion Pearl that could be called the natural enemy of the Sea race had been collected by the Sea race since its birth and then sealed away. There was very little chance for it to reappear in the outside world.    

Ever since the ancient times in the Realm of the Gods, the appearance of Water Spirit Aversion Pearls had always been unique to the Sea Clan. Over time, they became the Sea Clan's most valuable treasures.    

In reality, he is the nemesis of the Seafolk.    

"If this bead is real, it won't have just that little ability to isolate seawater." Chen Xiao thought with a sullen face.    

Unexpectedly, he felt a sense of joy. After checking this magical pearl for a long time, besides isolating himself from the sea, there was no other use to it.    

It's a little weak, probably a replica of the Water Spirit's Pearl.    

Compared to the real Water Repelling Pearl, it was much weaker. However, at this moment, it was of some use to Chen Xiao. At least he didn't have to split his mana to resist the water pressure.    

He sent his divine sense inside, controlling the size of the Water Avoiding Pearl, just enough to cover his entire body.    

He could sense that an invisible barrier had been set up from within the Water Repelling Pearl, easily blocking off the seawater from the outside world.    

Chen Xiao suddenly felt the pressure on his body lighten. It was as if he had returned to the mainland, and he no longer felt suffocated.    

He hadn't thought that even though it was just a Water Spirit's Pearl, the effects were already so good. Even the circulation of his Fa Li had improved by a lot.    

With the help of this pearl, although his own strength had not changed, his fighting strength had increased by a large amount.    

"As expected of the ancient Dragon Palace, it's filled with treasures." Chen Xiao's eyes lit up.    

It had been more than a hundred years since he crossed the Stellar River and arrived at the Realm of the Gods from the Realm of Immortals.    

In the past hundred years, the amount of treasures and wealth he had gained, added together, was far less than the amount of treasures he had picked up in the ruins of the Dragon Palace.    

No wonder countless spirit cultivators were so eager to search for the various secret realms and take risks.    

Cultivation was to go against the heavens, to fight for life.    

For cultivators like Chen Xiao who had cultivated to the late stage of the Sage Opening Realm, seclusion and hard work were meaningless.    

If he wanted to go further, he would need a massive amount of incalculable resources and treasures.    

Although this trip to the deep sea dragon palace had been dangerous, it had been worth it.    

While thinking, Chen Xiao calmed down and called out the Black Spirit. At this moment, it had turned back into a black ball, rolling back and forth in his palm, jumping up and down, seemingly very excited.    

"The black gas seems to have grown thicker?"    

He looked uncertain.    

Just now, when the black spirit made its move, it directly entered the consciousness of the Flood Dragon Clan. It attacked and tore apart the soul of its opponent, instantly killing it. It was truly a shocking sight to behold.    

Even Chen Xiao, who was mentally prepared, was shocked at that time.    

Whether it was in the Immortal Domain or the God Realm, he had never heard of the ability to directly attack the divine soul. This was definitely a killing tool; a massive killing move that was enough to allow him to establish himself within the Realm of the Gods.    

With the Dark Spirit as his backing, Chen Xiao's confidence was boosted all of a sudden.    

In his mind, he began to recall the scenes from the battle, taking stock of his combat experience.    

In life-and-death battles between cultivators, sometimes strength was not the most important thing, but combat experience was even more important.    

Black Spirit was an undying vengeful spirit that was hard to be detected by telepathic thoughts. It could directly attack and shatter the enemy's soul.    

However, its weakness was also obvious, its speed was extremely slow. If the opponent was prepared and deliberately kept a safe distance, it would be impossible for the Black Soul to enter the opponent's Sea of Consciousness to attack the soul.    

For this reason, the best way for the Black Spirit to attack was to ambush and kill.    

Chen Xiao hid carefully under the ruins. He was not in a hurry to go out again. Instead, he took out the temporary map that the fifth junior sister from the Shuiyue Sword Sect gave him before he left and started to study it carefully.
