Chapter 1550 (Raw 1532): Soul Dao Martial Technique

"Dragon Race Secret Technique, Rebirth from a Drop of Blood!"

A low rumble came from the scarlet dragon seal, and blood mist started to appear in the air.

The blood mist gathered and formed drops of blood. Once the blood was all gathered, Xiao Chen, who no longer existed one second ago, miraculously reappeared in a perfect state.

"Am I dead?" Xiao Chen said, feeling confused as he opened his eyes within a mysterious space.

This world was very dark, with countless stars flashing above. However, the starlight could not reach this place.

"Dead? If I had awoken a second later, you might really have been dead. Saving you this one time was not easy. Forcefully using Rebirth from a Drop of Blood before you have achieved the necessary cultivation is not that easy. Of course, I am an exception."

Suddenly, a voice rang out in the space, startling Xiao Chen alert.

"Who's there?"

"Who am I? Weren't you very eager to see me before? What's wrong? You seem frightened after seeing me."

The voice came from behind Xiao Chen, so he quickly turned around and saw a figure in white clothes. The corners of this figure's mouth curved in something of a nefarious smile, and faint scarlet light flickered in his eyes.

The aura of this person was eerie. His expression was awfully sinister with a trace of a nefarious smile. However, on seeing that pair of eyes, no one would feel that he was smiling.

Cold, emotionless, proud, and aloof. It felt like he was killing Qi personified in human form.

"You are the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor?" Xiao Chen immediately asked. This person's arrival meant that he had not died and had been saved.

Not replying, the white-clad man suddenly raised his head and projected the killing Qi hidden in his eyes.

Then, the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor reached out and grabbed. With an extremely cold expression, he firmly gripped a clump of black fog.

This black fog twisted continuously, letting out a pained and harsh sound.

When Xiao Chen looked at that clump of black fog, he felt a tinge of fear for some reason and could not help raising his guard.

"Boom!"

The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor squeezed with some force. The black fog gave an agonized scream before turning into a clump of blood mist and vanishing.

"What was that?" Xiao Chen asked, feeling uncertain.

"It was your heart demon. However, you needn't worry. I already killed it. It's not that strange. I cultivate the Massacre Dao and have been interacting with heart demons all my life. I've killed so many heart demons that I even lost count. Actually, heart demons are good things for you. If you can clear them, your mental state will strengthen.

"Unfortunately, you used such a decisive method to come and meet me. Naturally, I cannot let this heart demon waste any time."

The white-clad person explained casually as though what he just did was something insignificant.

However, Xiao Chen was shocked. He had never heard that heart demons could be killed.

"Speak, why did you seek me so urgently?" The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor urged Xiao Chen, as though time was tight.

This startled Xiao Chen back to himself, and he gave a simple explanation of the problems of the Kunlun Realm and the Demonic God.

"How troublesome! To think that someone put in so much effort to use a Soul Dao Secret Technique in this insignificant place."

When the white-clad man heard what Xiao Chen said, he frowned, which made Xiao Chen very nervous. Could it be that the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor could not deal with this, either?

"Don't misunderstand. Such Soul Dao techniques can be destroyed with a glance by a newly initiated Cloud Sea Realm cultivator. This Soul Dao technique is particularly crude and rudimentary. However, on second thought, it is truly already very incredible for a Soul Dao Secret Technique to be completed in this barren land."

The white-clad man spoke as he pleased without a care for anyone. "Let me think what method a person of your level can use to deal with this."

What was the Soul Dao? Xiao Chen did not know. However, he guessed that it had something to do with souls.

This was far from something a person in the Veritable Personage Realm could handle.

The soul of a person was extremely mysterious. Since time immemorial, it had been a taboo area of cultivation. Only the Kunlun Realm's Ghost Race had some accomplishments there.

Even so, the Ghost Race was not even initiated into this Dao. This Soul Dao was too ancient, too dangerous. The soul was a taboo part of a person. The Soul Origin was even harder to trace. There was not a single Cultivation Technique or Martial Technique for the Soul Dao in the Kunlun Realm.

In order to truly cultivate the Soul Dao, one would have to reach a very high cultivation realm. At the very least, the current Xiao Chen was still far from it.

"Senior, is there no method at all?" Xiao Chen looked beseechingly at the other party. The Kunlun Realm was in danger and could fall even in the next second.

The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Although a Secret Technique like that Demonic God is very crude, it is still of a much higher level than yours. In the first place, that Demonic God is impossible for you to defeat, as you have no way to do any significant damage to it."

"There is not even a single method?"

"There is. To deal with a Soul Dao Secret Technique, naturally, you have to use a Soul Dao Martial Technique. I have grasped many Soul Dao Martial Techniques. However, I simply cannot find one that a person of your cultivation realm can practice."

"Then, can Senior personally make a move and defeat the Demonic God?"

"I am only a strand of a remnant soul that exists in this dragon seal. I'm not even as strong as you. You want me to go out and send myself to death? That Demonic God would really love to get its hands on someone like me. I would be great nourishment for it."

As the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor looked at Xiao Chen, he revealed disdain on his face, crushing Xiao Chen's final hope.

"In that case, this means there is no hope at all?"

"Humph!"

Suddenly, the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor asked in a low voice, "As my, the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor's, inheritor, how can you be so lacking in ambition? To regular people, this is an impossible task. However, as my, the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor's, inheritor, if you cannot even clear this task, then it can only be said that I'm blind."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Chen countered, feeling confused.

"Nothing. I'll teach you a Soul Dao Martial Technique. Although you are unlikely to learn it, you'd better learn it. Otherwise, even if the Demonic God does not kill you, I'll kill you myself.

"To think that you actually want me to make a move personally for such a minor matter! I truly feel ashamed on your behalf for entertaining such a thought."

The Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor looked at Xiao Chen with heavy disdain, even smiling coldly.

Xiao Chen's expression changed slightly as he exclaimed angrily, "A minor matter! You may look down on me, humiliate me. However, do not ever play with the lives of my comrades in the Kunlun Realm! This is not a minor matter! Not minor at all!"

Seeing Xiao Chen being disrespectful, the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor did not get angry. Instead, he laughed, "You have a temper! However, to be my, the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor's, inheritor, a temper isn't enough. I'll pass down this Soul Dao Martial Technique to you. As long as you can learn even a part of it, you will be able to kill the Demonic God.

"If you fail to learn it…haha! I'll kill you and find another inheritor. Also, don't forget your roots. My Azure Dragon bloodline is one of the Great Desolate Hundred Races—the strongest bloodline—and yet you are completely wasting it, not using it. How stupid!"

Right after speaking, the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor prodded Xiao Chen's forehead, sending in voluminous information into Xiao Chen's mind.

"Go on, then. In the future, don't disturb me if there is nothing. My remnant soul cannot exist for long. If you awaken me and cannot learn anything, it will be a waste."

Then, the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor waved his hand, and Xiao Chen returned to reality.

Xiao Chen opened his eyes. In the dark surroundings, he saw that the surrounding terrain was completely ruptured, in a sorry state, and entirely different from before.

The mountain was gone; the plains no longer existed. Cracks covered the ground; sand and stone flew about.

Xiao Chen immediately checked his physical body and sensed that it seemed to be stronger.

There was an energy that seemed ready to roar out in his blood vessels, appearing different from before.

Vital Qi, gather!

Xiao Chen clenched his hand, and all the Vital Qi in his entire body surged, forming dragon-shaped strands of energy flying around in the air.

Along with this fist, two ancient dragon cauldrons appeared hovering above his head.

Two Cauldron Force. Xiao Chen felt shocked. His Vital Qi had actually doubled. 

What's going on?

Could this be the power of the bloodline that the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor mentioned? Xiao Chen sank into contemplation.

He thought back and vaguely recalled that when he underwent the tribulation, his blood seemed to undergo some changes.

Every time the Lightning Tribulation descended, its energy would strengthen the physical body, applying some kind of tempering, polishing his Azure Dragon War Body.

Aside from Xiao Chen's Vital Qi doubling, the Magic Energy in the sea of consciousness had also grown vaster.

Xiao Chen rejoiced. This was the most obvious benefit of advancing the Purple Thunder Divine Incantation to the tenth layer.

With the increase in Magic Energy, it would be easier to execute Magic Skills. His Dharmic World would last longer, as well.

However, this was not the most important thing at the moment. The most important thing was that when the Blood-Soaked Dragon Emperor chased him out, he left a Soul Dao Martial Technique in Xiao Chen's mind.

The Soul Breaking Finger!
