Legendary Clan Chief

Chapter 1676: Chapter 1616: Imperial Dao Imprint - Passing the Sacred Flame!

This is Mang Mountain!

The ancient land of Chaos, the most ancient and mysterious burial ground of the human race. Xiao Chen didn’t show any surprise. When he first encountered that stone warrior, it had already told him that the depths of the human burial ground was Mang Mountain.

Looking around at the massive stone statues, they exuded an aura of ancient desolation, with mottled cracks covering them. After a moment, Xiao Chen bowed slightly to the Sea Emperor and then walked towards this land of stone statues.

This is Mang Mountain, the burial place of successive emperors of the human race. Even in death, they still guard the Heavenly Path. Soon, Xiao Chen discovered that in this ancient burial ground, a faint mist floated around each stone statue, dead silent for endless ages. The entire heaven and earth looked utterly withered. No matter how much he probed, he couldn’t sense a trace of vitality.

A hundred miles away, Xiao Chen stopped in his tracks. In front of him appeared a stone spear, towering ten thousand feet, just thrust into the earth like that. Behind the stone spear stood an immense, majestic stone statue, but unfortunately, it was headless.

The headless stone statue held the sky-supporting stone spear. Although it wasn’t directed at him, it exuded a force capable of tearing heaven and earth apart.

Voom!

In an instant, the stone spear hummed, and a wisp of aura emerged from it, actually evolving into an ancient chaotic time-space, exuding an incredibly heavy and vast presence.

At the same time, from within Xiao Chen, the roar of dragon and tiger echoed. This came from the original bloodline within him surging, enveloping him in a terrifying and vast momentum!

Facing this headless strong one of the human race, even though he now held a position comparable to a Condensed God, he still felt a faint pressure, indicating just how great the power of this ancient human strong one once was.

Voom!

At that moment, Xiao Chen didn’t hesitate for a second. A radiant glow flashed in front of him, and an illusory figure solidified before him, which was a manifestation of his undying spiritual soul, without any hesitation charging towards the divine spear ahead.

He intended to awaken the will lingering in the headless human figure to gain its recognition and obtain the mark of imperial Dao!

Inside the stone spear was a world of darkness and desolation, entirely a land of chaotic stones devoid of any vitality. The earth cracked, the sky vault shattered, manifesting the state of this divine weapon.

Yet Xiao Chen saw, deep within this space, there was a massive weapon tomb.

"Xiao Chen, a descendant of the human race, stepping onto the path of the ancient emperors of the human race!"

At this moment, Xiao Chen spoke out, choosing the most direct way to express his intentions. If this dormant human emperor still had a trace of mark left, it would naturally be reawakened, and then he would naturally face whatever test that came.

"Xiao Chen, a descendant of the human race, stepping onto the path of the ancient emperors of the human race!"

"Xiao Chen, a descendant of the human race, stepping onto the path of the ancient emperors of the human race!"

"Xiao Chen, a descendant of the human race, stepping onto the path of the ancient emperors of the human race!"

...

Standing before the weapon tomb, Xiao Chen’s voice thundered like a storm. However, what finally greeted him was a dead silence; too much time had passed, burying too many things.

Obviously, this world that lingered in the stone spear, had completely died, and the soul belonging to the human emperor had utterly vanished between heaven and earth.

Giving a respectful salute to the ancient weapon tomb, Xiao Chen exited this space, leaving the dark time-space without the slightest ripple, only wisps of dissipated aura stirring the chaotic current, telling all that this was the burial ground of a powerful human emperor.

Whew!

Letting out a long sigh, Xiao Chen stepped out once more. At this moment, he gazed around in all directions. Despite the numerous stone statues, the dead silence contained within the headless human strong one before him weighed heavily upon him.

Emperors face twilight, as life too meets its end.

Stepping across another hundred miles, he arrived before another stone statue. Letting his spirit step out of his body, he swiftly entered this stone statue. This was a human strong one clad in a beast robe and holding a bone cudgel.

In an instant, as his soul body appeared, this stone statue seemed to be stirred by heavenly thunder. An invisible aura autonomously awakened, rushing towards him.

The terrifying power made him tremble all over, yet Xiao Chen instead felt delight. Immediately from his body erupted a resonant clashing sound, striking back against this surging momentum.

Clang!

Two boundless auras directly exploded into sparks as bright as a blazing sun. Then Xiao Chen’s soul body directly entered this stone statue world.

In fact, reaching this realm, his spiritual soul had long since split into thousands of soul bodies. This place was the Mang Mountain of the human race, over endless ages, it had buried countless human emperors. If he were to fight through each one, gaining the recognition of these emperors, it’s imaginable how much time it would consume.

And right now, what Xiao Chen lacked most urgently was time!

Voom!

At this moment, a brilliant light emanated from his brow, his divine spirit enveloping heaven and earth, an invisible aura stirring. There seemed to be a translucent, crystal-like flow of light flickering faintly.

"Go!"

In an instant, the crystal soul body shattered, turning into countless figures of himself, flying out towards the ten thousand mile radius. Each figure crashed into a stone statue.

Then Xiao Chen directly sat cross-legged beneath the stone statue in front of him, his eyes slightly closed. At this moment, the ancient earth overhead, boundless aura intertwined, earth, water, wind, and fire all appeared, with chaotic airflow swirling, and various divine lights glistening and surging.

Buzz!

In an instant, it seemed as if countless terrifying auras were awakened, the invisible auras intertwined and surged, with an indescribable majestic momentum, like a tremor spanning endless years.

As the overwhelming momentum appeared, the ancient earth trembled, and Xiao Chen was engulfed in such an incomparably terrifying aura.

This was a desolate world, with ancient trees towering ten thousand feet high yet not completely withered, appearing sparse, the earth cracked, mountains toppled, lakes dried up, filled with a sense of desolate decay.

In the center of this barren world, a strong man stood with his back to him, his body barely covered by simple beast skin, beneath which his muscles bulged with veins like mighty dragons.

"Defeat me!" noveldrama

Without turning back, a booming sound like heavenly thunder erupted in the world, and in a split second, Xiao Chen felt a Bone Cudgel like a world-suppressing heavenly column smashing towards his head.

"Eternal Qi!"

Xiao Chen’s expression shook, as the ancient strong one of the human clan before his eyes was surprisingly of the Eternal Realm, and even a trace of remaining will imprint made him feel a scene of the heavens collapsing.

Battle!

He roared, suppressing the rumble in the world, his entire arm outlined with flickering Dao Patterns, the Dao techniques integrated, having already merged seamlessly with his spirit, indistinguishable from each other.

The fist, shimmering with the Heavenly Divine Light, erupted in divine splendor, and the Dao light swept up like a waterfall, colliding with the Bone Cudgel.

Amidst the rumble, the river-like fist shattered, but the massive bone fiercely trembled yet did not break, continuing its assault.

At this moment, the strong man gripped the Bone Cudgel and stepped forward, his entire body radiating boundless divine light, his blurred eyes like two great suns, aiming to scorch him.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

Xiao Chen did not hesitate, in a breath’s time throwing out more than a dozen punches, all striking the same spot on the Bone Cudgel.

Crack!

A sound like the world shattering echoed, followed by the strong man’s roar, the Bone Cudgel lifted to the sky, gripped in his hands, smashing down again.

Kill!

Thousands of divine lights turned into a singular attack, clashing with the falling Bone Cudgel, the terrifying force tearing open the center of impact, pouring forth like a waterfall.

The strong man’s eyes shot out two divine lights, once again landing on him, and in an instant, Xiao Chen felt a sensation of being nailed in place, but in a blur, the sound of the Bone Cudgel shattering rang out, the fracture spreading to the strong man’s body.

The strong man’s electric-like gaze dissipated, his entire body began to disintegrate, transforming into a mass of boundless divine light, heading towards him.

"Qiu Huang!"

Amidst the rippling boundless divine light, it morphed into a mark, transmitting its message, letting Xiao Chen know the strong man’s identity.

At this moment, Xiao Chen, incarnated into thousands of soul bodies, sat cross-legged in the purple gold of countless statues, undergoing various trials, occasionally streams of light returning to his body.

Among them, not everyone retrieved the Imperial Dao Mark, some statues had been around for too long, truly turned to stone, the aura belonging to human emperors completely obliterated, the world crumbling.

Xiao Chen was thus deposited among the myriad statues, incarnating into thousands of spirits, traversing within each statue of emperors of the human clan, undergoing the trials and recognition meant for human emperors.

In some emperors’ worlds, flames obscured the sun and dense smoke filled a world of fire, others were boundless oceans with surging tides, others were desolate lands, but most of these worlds were already broken beyond repair.

One after another dormant thoughts, unsure of how long they’ve been silent, were awakened by him, though no longer possessing their peak battle power of old.

Of course, Xiao Chen was not engaged in a life and death struggle at this time, but in the passing of the sacred flame!

Within his body, lights flickered continuously, these were the marks belonging to human emperors, truly he hadn’t expected to obtain these imperial marks so easily.

One must know that earlier on he had already considered, perhaps having to fight his way through, undergoing the trials set by generations of human emperors, but now it had overturned his expectations.

These ancient emperors who have passed, they preferred to use what little remained of their consciousness to aid their descendants on their journey!

They are buried, yet the human clan’s legacy endures, the sacred flame unextinguished, this is the Dao belonging to the Human Emperor, and the spirit and magnanimity belonging to emperors!

The cultivation of martial arts is to survive, while the Imperial Dao is to protect!

Xiao Chen’s entire body glowed with Radiant Glow, an overwhelming momentum enveloped him, emanating from one giant statue after another, vast as the boundless universe, deep as the Abyss of Nine Nether.

Moreover, one imperial mark after another was carried out by his soul body avatars from each statue, merging into his main body.

In a trance, around him, there were numerous majestic figures encircling, each figure stood tall and mighty, together supporting the backbone of heaven and earth!
