Chapter 1361: The Second Tier of the Chilled Ligament Ghost Valley
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Maximum rank speed, sixty million!
Everyone was taken aback. It was no wonder they valued Xia Fei so highly. It was precisely because of speed’s incredible power!
A warrior who was able to travel at sixty million meters per second had been able to reach the fifth stele, so what about Xia Fei, who could travel at more than one hundred million meters per second? Could he break through the G.o.d-Surpa.s.sing Stairs!? Becoming a G.o.d in a single step!?
Hwooo…
Everyone stared at Xia Fei and witnessed him follow his habit and light a cigarette. Standing up, he went to the window and looked out at the seven steles.
!!
After a few moments of thought, Xia Gucheng said grimly, “Xia Fei, it’s worth a shot. Why don’t I go ahead of you!? See how powerful the Seven Star Steles really are?”
Nalan Wufa shook his head. “There’s no going ahead. n.o.body can come back from the steles once they go in. We can discuss making an attempt at the G.o.d-Surpa.s.sing Stairs later. We have only considered Xia Fei making an attempt primarily because of what the Sky Devils once said.”
“What did the Four Sky Devils say?” Chu Jingfeng asked promptly.
“The Sky Devils were all Domain Lords! This is why they were able to come from an unknown world to ours. Although the Sky Devils only stayed here for a little, they effected an enormous transformation on this universe and the Fiend Race!
“The Fiend Race was able to go from an obscure and small race into the universe’s most powerful army entirely because of the Sky Devils! This is why we speculate that the status of Domain Lord might not be purely symbolic, that it might have some practical use!
“When I was young, I once met one of the Sky Devils. His broken wings were identical to Xia Fei’s! Of course, he was faster than Xia Fei, but no one can say if Xia Fei might not reach the same speed as Lord Paletooth!” Nalan Wufa concluded.
Xia Fei nodded. “I understand everything you’re saying. The Seven Star Steles must be very important, or else the dragons wouldn’t be willing to send their warriors to their deaths inside them. In short, we have to interfere with whatever the enemy wants! We have no reason to let the enemy succeed!”
Xia Fei had said similar things more than once, and they were his lifelong conviction. Do everything to help the brothers who helped him before, and do everything he could to bring down those enemies who had hurt him before, using every method at his disposal!
“Let me think about this some more. Right, I also brought this with me.”
Xia Fei revealed Peac.o.c.k Blue on his right arm, the five-colored Dragonbinding Rope instantly dividing into what appeared to be five majestic dragons!
“This is the Immemorial Mystical Armament!” Ding Hai said in shock. “Xia Fei, you actually managed to subdue the Five Elemental Immemorial Mystical Armaments!? This was left behind by the Sky Devils! It’s true name is the Dragonbinding Rope! This is an excellent weapon, able to capture all things in the universe!”
The three chiefs of the Devil Shadow Dragoons were very excited. Nalan Wufa said, “The Five Elemental Mystical Armaments are very strong, but they’re not easy to control. They embody the law of the universe that all things that are long apart must come together, and all things that are long together must come apart. In other words, while you have subdued the Immemorial Mystical Armaments, it won’t be long before the Five Elemental Mystical Armaments return.
“This matter was a huge headache for us in the past, as they had too many forms. Even if someone subdued them, in a few years, they would split up again and return to nature, requiring a new warrior to conquer them. In that long-ago battle, we didn’t have time to bring together the Mystical Armaments. From its form, your linked Mystical Armament should be the Plant Elemental Peac.o.c.k Blue, or it would not have taken this form otherwise.
“The thirty Immemorial Mystical Armaments have tens of thousands of transformations and innumerable ways to combine. This is where their power lies. This time, you used Peac.o.c.k Blue as the base to bring together the Five Elemental Mystical Armaments. Even we can’t say what sort of combat abilities it has, but it will definitely be a formidable divine weapon,on par with Stellar Dawn and Stellar Chrysalis!”
Xia Fei was startled. “Stellar Dawn and Stellar Chrysalis? This isn’t the first time I’ve heard these names. Do these two wicked beasts really exist?”
Nalan Wufa bowed to Yangguang and said, “King Yangguang, is just a customary name. We consider your Yggdragons to be wicked beasts precisely because the dragons are powerful.”
Yangguang waved his hand to indicate that he didn’t care. On the side, Chu Jingfeng mentally started to mumble to himself. After witnessing the savagery of Lady Hanxiao first hand, Chu Jingfeng was basically certain that Yggdragons were wicked beasts. Otherwise, how could a maddened Lady Hanxiao be so frightening?
Turning back to Xia Fei, Nalan Wufa said, “Stellar Dawn and Stellar Chrysalis are said to be the only beasts that can contend against the dragons. Alas, according to the Sky Devils, unlike the dragons, which are natural creatures that have always existed in the universe, Stellar Dawn and Stellar Chrysalis have to be raised.

“If the conditions are right, the universe truly will produce superbeasts second only to the dragons in power. Thus, they can only be encountered and not sought for. Moreover, even if Stellar Dawn and Stellar Chrysalis actually exist, they might not stand on our side. If they are enemies, then it is best if they do not show up.”
Everyone nodded. As the three great beasts at the top of the food chain, the dragons alone were giving sapient lifeforms a hard time. Two more of these mighty stellar beasts popping up wouldn’t be a good thing.
The talk went on for a very long time, and included news from Annihilation, the situation of the Devil Shadow Dragoons, and the combat state of the dragons.
But the mysterious Seven Star Steles still occupied an important place in everyone’s minds.
There was no doubt that these were mysterious objects. A warrior that pa.s.sed through the seven steles could obtain the t.i.tle of Domain Lord, becoming master of a universe? It seemed unbelievable!
There was also the Dragon Race’s desire for the Seven Star Steles. If the dragons became masters of this universe, it was easy to understand that this wouldn’t be a good thing for the universe.
Xia Fei wanted to foil anything his enemies wanted to do. Xia Fei had already made up his mind to test his luck at the Seven Star Steles when the time was right, seizing the t.i.tle of Domain Lord for himself!
The talk ended, and Xia Fei returned to G.o.d’s Eden. Yangguang, Chu Jingfeng, and Xia Gucheng stayed at the Devil Shadow Dragoon command center. This was partially because they wanted to a.s.sist in the integration of the reinforcements with the Dragoons.
The Devil Shadow Dragoons had fought in the seventh universe for countless epochs and were very familiar with the dragons. As for the new warriors, they understood nothing about the dragons.
Thus, they decided to disperse the reinforcements among the original Dragoons. The Aurora Clan went off to the support division. These old fellows were skilled in long-distance attacks, so they were perfect for protecting everyone’s flanks.
Oro and several major clans of the Law Realm that were loyal to the Skywings joined the offensive division. Even though they were weaker than the Dragoons, they were new blood. Moreover, fighting alongside combat experts like the Devil Shadow Dragoons would help them improve. Oro and the others had no objection. On the contrary, they were quite excited!
The Skywing Clan’s mission was much more arduous. As a clan that had inherited the Law of Speed, it was extremely special, even to the Fiend Race.
The significance of speed in battle was like having an airforce in an ordinary battlefield. They could provide scouting, ambush the enemy, or provide support. Speed warriors had to take on countless dirty jobs.
The Skywing Wolves had no complaint. That they were immediately able to play a key role for the Devil Shadow Dragoons meant that they had been acknowledged. After all, speed-types were welcomed wherever they went. Even if they didn’t have high ranks, they would form the core strength of any force.
Yangguang’s Mythical Beasts formed a second legion for the Dragoons. This legion’s greatest mission was to deal with the h.e.l.l Brigade under the dragons. Dragons had their Draconic Prestige, so unless one was a Holy Beast like Furball, a beast couldn’t help but kneel before a dragon.
Thus, no matter what, Yangguang’s Mythical Beast legion couldn’t appear on the main battlefield. They could only stay on the perimeter to deal with the Dragon Race’s puppets.
As for Yangguang’s family and the Yggdragons, they were sent to the elite squadron!
The squadron was specifically meant for dealing with the main force of the Dragon Race. The weakest member was a high-ranked Annihilator! Xia Gucheng had also joined this team.
New combat power and new equipment revitalized the Devil Shadow Dragoon who had held out in the seventh universe for countless epochs!
New and old grudges mixed together, and there was only one solution: kill!
Snarling faces filled the Dragoon base as their murderous intent exploded!
Avril wasn’t a warrior, so she had nothing to do. The only thing she could do was to help Chu Jingfeng take care of the plants. Many women were meticulous when it came to domestic affairs, and Chu Jingfeng was happy to have the help of Avril and Xiao Yu.

After several days of busy work, the Devil Shadow Dragoons finished the reorganization. The new warriors all had their own positions and were rus.h.i.+ng around night and day. As for Xia Fei, he was actually very quiet.
In a corner of the G.o.d’s Eden, Xia Fei was cultivating the Chilled Ligament Ghost Valley. After learning about the situation of the Devil Shadow Dragoons, Xia Fei came to realize that the solution to the problem was speed!
Among all the martial arts of the world, only speed was without flaw! This principle held true no matter the generation.
After Xia Fei broke through the first level of the Chilled Ligament Ghost Valley, his speed per second had broken one hundred million, and his combat power made all other warriors blush in shame! Even Si Zhe of the Five Ancient Apexes had died to Xia Fei’s super speed!
Speed was the greatest combat power! This was why Xia Fei was using this time to get faster and faster!

*Ping!*
Beyond the outer perimeter of the G.o.d’s Eden…
Xia Fei was constantly cultivating. The two custodian slaves stood guard while Avril occasionally raised her head, wiping the sweat from her face as she saw Xia Fei running around like a streak of light, her heart rejoicing.
The callous training method continued. Xia Fei needed to disperse spirit energy through his body so that all of his cells would be stimulated into constantly changing and growing.
Spirit energy was a powerful form of energy. If it struck an enemy, the enemy would die! But Xia Fei’s cultivation put the spirit power into his own body, and the danger and pain involved was beyond description.
In short, it was like Xia Fei’s body was crackling with lightning, and ghostly flames raged around him. Combined with his Fiendish energy, he made for a terrifying presence.
The stimulation spirit power had on the body was very obvious. Xia Fei’s speed was rising every day. After breaking 120 million meters per second, he began making his way to 150 million mps, which was half of the speed of light!
The Chilled Ligament Ghost Valley was a cla.s.sic example of qualitative cultivation. So long as Xia Fei could endure enough spirit energy, his body would experience a huge transformation! His cells would all evolve!
“Now is the moment!”
Xia Fei felt his body growing more and more adapted to the frenzied stimulation of spirit energy, and he decided to try and break through the threshold!
Hwooo!~
One thousand units of spirit power were released! Xia Fei’s body was covered with lightning as he exploded forward!
