Peerless War God

Suddenly, Chen Xiao realized that he was mistaken. The elder's strength was not at the peak of Martial Saint at all, but was at a realm even higher than that of the peak of Martial Saint, the semi-sage realm!    

A semi-sage expert was someone who had broken through the peak of Martial Saint, but was still a step away from the Martial Saint.    

From the looks of it, he was only at the peak of Martial Saint. After all, he had not reached the Martial Saint yet, right? It was not much different from when he was at the peak of Martial Sect.    

However, that was not the case!    

If he wanted to break through to Martial Saint, then he would need to comprehend the energy of heaven and earth and comprehend a trace of the laws of heaven and earth. Moreover, if one wanted to break through to the Martial Saint, one needed to be able to control the energy of heaven and earth, and also completely comprehend a type of natural law.    

As for the semi-sage realm, they were in a slightly awkward position. They could control the Heaven and Earth powers, but could not comprehend the world laws. Or, their comprehension of the world laws was not enough to control the Heaven and Earth powers.    

However, he must not underestimate the strength of a semi-sage realm expert! No matter if it was the ability to control the Heaven and Earth powers or the comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth, any semi-sage realm could easily take down more than ten peak Martial Saint s!    

Possessing either the power of heaven and earth or the laws of heaven and earth, a half-Saint's attack would not be something a peak Martial Saint could defend against!    

How realistic was it to think that a single person could resist the power of the Heavens and Earth?    

With Chen Xiao's current strength, he definitely had the ability to fight Wanyan Nuoda. However, if he were to fight with a semi-sage expert, he would only have the ability to escape.    

Using a one star Martial Saint's strength to fight a semi-sage realm expert was simply courting death!    

Fortunately, Chen Xiao had absorbed all of the earth spirit essence and was able to completely hide his own spirit energy fluctuations. Otherwise, he would have been discovered by the old man a long time ago.    

"I'm sorry, Elder Ku, we need to get to work." The two of them hurriedly apologized to the old man. Then, they took out large amounts of materials and began to busy themselves on the ground.    

Chen Xiao looked at it for a long time before finally confirming that the other party was setting up a teleportation circle. By then, the people from the four empires would probably be able to use the teleportation array to enter various ancient ruins and maps.    

No wonder Chen Xiao didn't reap anything, it really was time to get up early.    

Elder Ku watched as the two finished setting up the teleportation circle before nodding his head in satisfaction. Following that, two more demons ran over from below Chen Xiao.    

"Elder Ku, the other teleportation formations have been set up." The two demons said respectfully to the Elder Ku.    

There was actually a teleportation formation behind it? How many demons had come here?    

Chen Xiao was surprised, but at the same time, he was glad that he did not cause too much of a commotion. Otherwise, if he were to be targeted by this semi-sage old man, he might really have to lie down here tonight.    

"Very good. Send the orders and pack up." Elder Ku replied. Following that, the two reported demons ran back the way they came. As for the two demons that had set up the teleportation formation, they quietly followed after the Elder Ku and walked away from Chen Xiao.    

Seeing that the other party was gradually getting further and further away, Chen Xiao was momentarily at a loss as to whether he should follow and take a look.    

If he followed up, he would definitely be able to discover something. However, the other party had the Semi-Saint Pressure Formation. If he was careless and was discovered …    

No! He had to follow and take a look!    

After making his decision, Chen Xiao immediately activated the Immortal Floating Cloud Steps, and disappeared from the tree trunk in a flash. When he waited for him to appear again, he was already about thirty meters away from Elder Ku.    

In order to avoid being discovered, Chen Xiao did not dare to get too close.    

Keeping this distance, Chen Xiao saw that the demon clan members behind Elder Ku had gone from the first two to the last twenty. And amongst these twenty people, more than thirty-two of them were in the Martial Saint, advancing in strength!    

From this, one could roughly estimate the strength of a demon.    

Afterwards, this group of people arrived in front of a functioning teleportation formation. There were four demons guarding the teleportation formation and the weakest among them were Eight Star Martial Saint!    

It looked like this was the teleportation formation that led to the demons' location.    

Chen Xiao secretly noted down the location of the teleportation circle. On the other side, Elder Ku had already led the demons into the teleportation circle. Following the burst of light from the teleportation circle, in the next moment, all of them disappeared from Chen Xiao's sight, even the light coming from the teleportation circle dimmed in an instant, until it was gone completely.    

After the demons disappeared, a few breaths of time had passed, and another figure also landed beside the teleportation circle. Other than Chen Xiao, who else could it be?    

Standing beside the teleportation circle, Chen Xiao carefully observed the teleportation circle, memorizing every detail of it in his mind. With Chen Xiao's attainments in formations, as long as he remembered everything, it would not be difficult for him to arrange one later.    

But before Chen Xiao could engrave the entire teleportation circle into his mind, the teleportation circle suddenly released a burst of bright light! Following that, a suffocating aura enveloped Chen Xiao!    

"Heh, I felt like there's a little mouse hiding around. I didn't expect that I would actually catch it."    

This voice, was the Elder Ku that had just left!    

Chen Xiao's expression changed. He never thought that the Elder Ku would have discovered his existence so early on! Immediately, the Spirit Qi in his body was activated, the Immortal Floating Cloud Steps activated, and his body disappeared from the side of the array.    

However, when going up against a half-Saint, even though Chen Xiao had a godly technique like the Immortal Floating Cloud Steps, he was still at a disadvantage in terms of speed.    

The moment Chen Xiao appeared once again, a terrifying aura instantly locked onto him. Following that, Chen Xiao could clearly feel the surrounding spirit energy pressing towards him, as if it wanted to imprison him right where he stood!    

Immediately, Chen Xiao knew that the Elder Ku was one of the semi-sages who could drive the energy of heaven and earth, but had yet to comprehend the laws of the world.    

If it was this kind of semi-sage realm, Chen Xiao had a great chance of running away.    

The spirit energy in his body suddenly exploded, forcibly pushing away the surrounding spirit energy. Soon after, the Immortal Floating Cloud Steps was activated again, in a flash.    

Right now, Chen Xiao's only chance was to run out of the Black Dragon territory. According to the two demons from before, they could not leave Black Dragon territory.    

Only, Chen Xiao still underestimated the Elder Ku a little. After his second appearance in the Immortal Floating Cloud Steps, before he could activate the spirit energy in his body, the surrounding spirit energy pressured towards him once again. And this time, the pressure was at least ten times more than last time!    

With such a terrifying pressure, Chen Xiao felt as if his entire body was buried under the ground, the surrounding soil was frantically pressing down on him! Not to mention breathing, even his internal organs felt like they were about to be crushed!    

If it wasn't for the fact that he was cultivating the Void Body Refinement Art and the fact that he had absorbed the earth spirit essence earlier to further enhance his physical strength, he would have been crushed into a meat patty by now!
