Peerless War God

The Fa Li in Chen Xiao's body was crazily flowing away without any signs of stopping. After almost breathing, the Fa Li in his body disappeared without a trace.    

This scene was too horrifying and strange.    

One had to know that magic power was the foundation of a cultivator. Whether it was for human cultivators, beast races or other sea races, magic power was the foundation of a cultivator's power.    

Whether it was performing techniques or using magical equipment, one needed mana.    

Even if a small portion of cultivators focused on the path of body cultivation only had a relatively small amount of Fa Li, it was still essential.    

This was also the biggest difference between mortals and cultivators.    

Only with mana would there be the ability to fight against the Heavenly Dao and the power of life and death. The importance of mana to cultivators was equivalent to water and fish, oil and lamps.    

A cultivator without Fa Li would have his strength reduced by half. This was the predicament Chen Xiao was in right now.    

His magic power was gone, just like that. It disappeared in an incomparably strange manner, and he didn't know why.    

However, he did not have the time to think about these things right now. What was even more fatal was how he would be able to endure through this overwhelming pressure that came from all directions.    

This terrifying pressure was like a mountain pressing down on the top of one's head; it was as if someone had tightly gripped onto his neck and was unable to breathe.    

Chen Xiao was not a cultivator who focused on body transformation. He mainly trained in Void Spell and other body refinement techniques, so body refinement was not his strong point.    

No matter what, he would never have thought that under the layer of darkness in the ruins of the deep sea dragon palace, there was actually such a strange place that would suck away all the mana from a person.    

Now that he had lost all his magic power, his strength had dropped by at least a realm, perhaps even less than an Emperor of the Dao Realm.    

One must know that the two major paths of cultivation for humans were to convert Qi Refining into Fa Li and to refine the body.    

Almost 99.9% of human cultivators follow the path of qi refinement. Very few people would focus on body refinement, unless they had inborn divine strength. Very few people with a strong body would follow the path of qi refinement.    

After all, humans had been able to stand for countless tens of thousands of years within the Realm of the Gods because they relied on the Qi Refining Art and the refining of alchemy array formations.    

As for body refinement, even if a human cultivator were to reach an extremely high realm in body refinement, they wouldn't be able to compare to the same realm in body refinement, such as the sea beasts and other foreign races.    

Now was not the time to regret. Chen Xiao quickly took out a bunch of pills that could replenish his Fa Li, threw them all into his mouth, and started refining.    

However, without the support of his Fa Li, the refining speed was extremely slow. In fact, it could not even compare to the speed of dissipation. He was getting a little anxious.    

"The spiritual liquid from the purple gold gourd."    

At this critical moment, he thought of something. Previously, he had obtained a golden-purple gourd from a secret chamber on the third floor of the secret treasury.    

A light flashed in his right hand as the purple gold gourd flew out from his storage ring and landed in Chen Xiao's hand. He picked up the gourd and gulped down a few mouthfuls of the gourd.    

This mouthful of spirit liquid would cost a thousand Divine Origin Stones if placed in the outside world. It was quite expensive.    

At this time, there was no time to worry about anything else. If he lost all his people, then what was the value of having so many treasures?    

The moment the spirit liquid entered his mouth, it was instantly absorbed, and his mana finally recovered a little. Immediately, he opened the entrance to the small world and entered.    

He saw a small ripple in space where he was standing before quickly regaining his calm, as if nothing had happened. It was deathly silent.    

After entering the small world, Chen Xiao didn't choose to immediately find Yue Yao and the other girls. The main reason was that he was currently in a sorry state and didn't want the other party to worry about him.    

With a flash, he landed on a mountain. Beside him was the unconscious Fairy Yun.    

He sat down on the spot and began to calculate in his mind. The pressure in the black curtain was too terrifying. If he were to leave this place again, he would definitely be crushed to the ground, unable to move an inch, let alone escape the black curtain.    

For now, there was only one way, and that was to cultivate in a small world. Once the body refinement was effective, strong enough to withstand the pressure from the black fog, then he would go out.    

However, this way, there would be a huge problem.    

Chen Xiao stared at the Cloud Fairy, who was lying on the ground, and slightly frowned. What was she going to do? If she woke up not long later, she would definitely find that the small world was different from the outside world.    

He did not want to tell any outsiders about the secret of the small world.    

Chen Xiao thought for a moment. His right hand formed a spell sign and hit Fairy Yun's forehead with his finger. He then entered her head and sealed off her consciousness. Let her continue sleeping like this.    

After finishing all of this, he heaved a sigh of relief. This way, he wouldn't be disturbed for the time being.    

It had to be said that Fairy Yun had a beautiful body with curves in all directions, which was extremely tempting. The places where she should be large and the places where she should be light were all top-quality. Her ice-cold goddess-like face was a masterpiece created by the heavens.    

Just in terms of appearance, she was on par with Yue Yao and the other girls. However, this otherworldly and refined demeanor of a fairy couldn't be compared to them at all.    

Chen Xiao studied it for a long time and swallowed his saliva.    

"Just, just touch it."    

As he thought this, he couldn't help but stroke her a few times before leaving in satisfaction. Before he left, he even helped her lay down a concealing array.    

Chen Xiao leaped thousands of feet away and calmed his mind. He immediately forgot all of that before and started to cultivate.    

When he was in Stormwind, he had indeed collected a few body tempering cultivation techniques. However, most of them were too low-leveled and too poor. Thus, it was not suitable for him to train in body tempering techniques.    

With a thought, he frantically rummaged through his storage ring. Finally, he was able to find a superior body tempering cultivation technique.    

"This is, the Ascending Dragon Spell."    

This name was quite domineering. Although Chen Xiao didn't remember the name of this technique, he still remembered this book very clearly. He got it from the second treasure box in the secret room on the third floor.    

Holding the yellowed secret manual, he opened the title page and read the words one by one. The more he read, the more shocked he became, and the more he read, the brighter his eyes shone.    

This was indeed a superior body tempering cultivation technique, and it was just right for humans to cultivate. If a cultivator were to reach mastery in the Rising Dragon Technique, they would possess a physique comparable to that of a dragon and would be extremely powerful.    

The Rising Dragon Skill itself was nothing special. What was strange was that in order to practice this technique, one would need a large amount of external assistance. The two most important things were the dragon blood and dragon bone.    

"Hiss ~"    

Chen Xiao could not help but suck in a breath of cold air. A person who could create this cultivation technique was no small matter. He actually wanted to use dragon blood and dragon bone to refine his body. What a big tone, what a bold idea.    

In the current Divine Realm, the dragon race, especially the True Dragon race, was extremely rare. Even in the entire vast endless sea, only the Dragon God Palace bloodline and the True Dragon bloodline existed.
