Chapter 1517: Death Wish
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“We’re already in human form. What other flaws could there be?”
The Demonic Beast Kings furrowed their brows, unbeknownst as to what could be wrong.
Not only had their bodies changed into perfectly sculpted humans, even the language they spoke were discernably human. What did Chen Xiaobei mean by a huge flaw?
“Oh G.o.d… have you guys no shame? Put these on!” Chen Xiaobei took out three sets of Spiritual Instrument grade armors. “There’s not a single strand of thread on all of you! If you walk around with me like that, people might think that I’m a sick pervert!”
“Oh…” The Demonic Beast Kings felt a trickle of sweat run down their foreheads, and looked at themselves bashfully for they had just transformed into humans and were undoubtedly, completely naked.
Having three naked men by his side would be a painful sight to the eyes.
So, the Demonic Beast Kings put on the armor that Chen Xiaobei gave them to so that there would not be any ‘flaws’, and to ensure no eyes would be burnt.
The armor was from the Overgrown Forest’ treasury. Chen Xiaobei had given them out to his people in Bei Xuan, and, luckily, had some leftovers.
“Now that everything is ready, we just need to wait for our enemies to take the bait!” Chen Xiaobei knelt on the ground. “I will cultivate first. You guys keep watch!”
“Are you serious?” The Tyrant Dragon King looked perplexed. “Master, there’s not much time left. The enemies could come at any time! What’s the point of cultivating in such short time?”
They said this because cultivating would normally take a long period of time – as short as a few months to as long as years, and even a few hundred years was not unheard of!
Word of Chen Xiaobei’s invitation for a fight to Lu Gang had already been disseminated around. On top of that, Chen Xiaobei had already spent almost a day to get to this place – the enemy really could be here at any time.
The amount of time left for Chen Xiaobei to cultivate was very short.
The Beast Kings could not understand why Chen Xiaobei would want to use this slim window of time to cultivate. Not only would it be a waste of effort and time, but it might even severely disrupt their plans.
“It’s going to be very effective, I guarantee!” Chen Xiaobei grinned, and took out the 3,000 year-old Saturn Peach that he received from Shen Gongpao!
Crunch! Crunch! Crunch!
Chen Xiaobei picked up the fruit and began chomping down. It was crisp, fragrant and sweet. Absolutely sumptious and balsamic.
“Master, aren’t you going to cultivate? Now why would you eat a peach?” The Tyrant Dragon King licked his lips hungrily as he watched Chen Xiaobei gobble down on the juicy fruit.
“If I don’t eat, where am I going to find the energy to boost my cultivation huh?”
Chen Xiaobei glanced up at him and then went back to quickly finis.h.i.+ng the peach in just a few bites. Beasts remained beasts no matter their form, and they came as hungry as they were.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Middle phase of Celestial Cultivation; Lifespan: 3,070; Health: 149,000; Combat power: 113,700]
“My lifespan has increased by 3,000 years! Nothing greater than this!”
Chen Xiaobei’s eyes lit up bright. He then scrambled to retrieve the Sunlight Cache that he had not used for some time now, and of course, the Green Jade Cauldron.
Kneeling next to the cauldron, Chen Xiaobei began to burn his lifespan to activate the Daylight Cache.
Voom!
Bright dazzling light burst out from the cache and lit up a three meter radius of the area around it, engulfing Chen Xiaobei and the Green Jade Cauldron in a yellowish hue.
The Sunlight Cache’s Special Ability was to speed up time. Time within the lit area would accelerate so that one minute outside the lit area was equivalent to one day inside the light!
Chen Xiaobei had chosen to use this fleeting amount of time to cultivate as he now had enough lives to afford using the Daylight Cache!
Every minute of use would cost him a princely sum of 100 years, literally buying time with whatever precious life he had.
Once everything had been set up, Chen Xiaobei began to employ The Scripture of Heaven and Earth and entered into a deep cultivation state.
He still had a lot of Demonic Beast essences stored inside his body, so he did not need to use the remaining two hundred million low-grade Spiritual Stones to cultivate.
What’s more, there was still a batch of Skybreaking Cultivating Pills in the making inside the Green Jade Cauldron. Under the light of the Daylight Cache, the process could be sped up, allowing the pills to be completed in a shorter time than usual, thus helping Chen Xiaobei break through his cultivation exponentially.
The last time Chen Xiaobei was in the Secret s.p.a.ce, he had given away all of his Skybreaking Cultivation pills to Xiang Yu for his people’s use.
Right now, with the addition of 3,000 years to his lifespan, it would be an almost effortless job for Chen Xiaobei to reach the pinnacle phase of Celestial Cultivation.
Once the Skybreaking Pills were finished, Chen Xiaobei could immediately break through to Ethereal Cultivation.
“Master! There’s movement above the water barrier! Our enemies must be here!”
It had only been seven minutes or so when the Tyrant Dragon King noticed some activity outside the walls of Atlantis.
Seven minutes of cultivating would sound like a joke to most people but for Chen Xiaobei, this short amount of time actually helped him drastically change his cultivation by a huge amount!
Ding!
[Cultivation: Peak phase of Celestial Cultivation; Lifespan: 2,370; Health: 165,800; Combat power: 130,000]
Chen Xiaobei immediately stopped the Daylight Cache, and calculated his losses, “Seven minutes would mean 700 years. That means that I’ve cultivated for seven days and seven nights under the Daylight Cache’ Special Ability. That’s the equivalent of 168 hours. So, that would be 100 health and 100 combat power every hour. So, each of them has increased by 16,800!”
“But because the combat power for the peak of Celestial Cultivation is 130,000. To break through, my I would need a lot more combat power to break through that. That’s why my celestial cultivation could not continue to grow! I need to wait until the Skybreaking Cultivation pills are ready to break through this cultivation! Based on the current progress, it should take about seven days for the pills to be ready! Then, I could break through and then use the remaining lives I have left to increase my strength and continue on to the next phase of cultivation, which would be demiG.o.d. Oh, just thinking about it gets me excited!”
Chen Xiaobei had been ranting and muttering to himself as if there were no enemies approaching.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
One by one, a myriad of shadows went through the barrier, and arrived in the underwater city.
These people were no strangers to Chen Xiaobei.
The first one was a rather pudgy man, the master of the original South Town Temple, Lu Gang.
Behind him were seven other people, all elders of the original South Town Temple.
Previously, Atlantis’ population was way more than this, but many of them had died in the explosion, leaving only eight survivors.
Other than eight of these people, there was another person with them of whom Chen Xiaobei did not recognize.
Based on the person’s outfit, it appeared to be a woman and she had mask on so her face was concealed.
Also, she appeared to be unconscious, hanging limply in the arms of an elder, silent and unmoving.
Lu Gang drew in a deep breath and shouted, “”Chen Xiaobei! I, Lu Gang, am here!”
He was like a ravenous beast waiting to devour every last bit of Chen Xiaobei’s flesh.
“Are you really that excited coming here to die?” Chen Xiaobei asked, an emotionless, serene look plastered on his face.
