Chronicles Of The Shura Clan

Heaven Suppression Region

By the time Ling Chen left the Moonlight village, the sun had already sunk lower in the sky and the heat of the day has ebbed to a comforting warmth.

Despite the generous offer of the villagers and the village chief, Ling Chen still refused to spend another day in the village.

Even though he had healed their injuries and cured their sickness, it didn't mean that he cared about them.

He didn't help them and wasted almost an entire day to solve their problems out of the goodness of his heart. He did that because he needed something from them.

Though it might seem a little ironic, he was, in fact, using them. He was only helping them to get their gratitude which was something he needed to speed up the maturation of the seven Fruits Of Creation.

Furthermore, even after curing all of the sick and injured people in the village, the amount of gratitude he got still wasn't enough to make the fruits ripen.

Unlike the previous seven fruits where the Lightning Fruits of creation was the one that ripened first, these new seven fruits were growing at the same rate.

As such, all the energy that Ling Chen was able to amass in helping people was shared equally among themselves. In another, they would all be ripened at the same time.

Over the past three years, even though Ling Chen seemed as though he had been wasting his time by traveling aimlessly and helping people in order to speed up the maturation of the seven Fruits Of Creation, he has also been training really hard.

Now that he wasn't facing many powerful opponents left and right, he had taken the time to fully control and understand the extent of his power.

He had come up with several ways to use his power more efficiently. Even though his left eye power allowed him to copy and understand any battle techniques he came in contact with, he wasn't able to properly use them because these battle techniques required one to use the true qi energy of this world.

Most of these battle techniques used the true qi energy of the user's surroundings to enhance and intensify their attack.

As such, Ling Chen didn't bother using them but created his own battle techniques while using them as the basis.

Aside from that, he had also awakened three more eye powers. One of them came from the left eye which he called the Divine Eye while the other two from the right eye, also referred to as Demonic Eye by Ling Chen.

However, the most powerful of them all was the Gaze Of Destruction like Ling Chen called it. This attack required him to use both his Divine Eye and the Demonic Eye.

He was already capable of seeing through the internal constructs of a human body such as their arteries, veins, hearts, bones, and lungs with his Divine Eye. However, now he was capable of destroying these organs without physically hurting the person by using his Demonic Eye.

Not only that, but he was also capable of healing them as well with his light true qi energy, depending on the severity.

However, just like all of his Eye Abilities, the Gaze Of Destruction doesn't work on people that are stronger than him, unless he caught that person off guard.

Aside from that, during his travel in the Heaven Suppression Region, he had also made a stunning discovery.

When left the Divine Demon Beast Region, his strength was already equivalent to that of a 9th Tribulation Martial Saint.

Even when his strength was already at the peak of Martial Saint, Ling Chen didn't stop and continued to hunt strong demon beasts to break through the next realm. However, no matter how many demon beasts he killed, his strength didn't increase but the amount of the dark tree roots within his lower-dantian.

Now that he was in the Heaven Suppression Region and hasn't killed any powerful warriors, Ling Chen discovered that the dark tree roots within his lower-dantian were still slowly growing and increasing.

At first, he didn't understand the reason behind it but after some thinking, he finally found out why. It was because of Ling Lei and the others.

Every time they killed a demon beast and absorbed their blood and life essence, a portion of that energy somewhat went to him.

Before, he didn't feel it or realize it because he was killing demon beasts and absorbed their blood and life essence at the same time with them in the Divine Demon Beast Region.

Even when it was in Demon Beast Territory, it was happening as well. However, at that time he was already at the Martial Saint realm while they were at the Martial king and Martial Venerable realm, As such the amount of energy he got from them was too small to be noticed.

Not to mention he was always preoccupied and busy with something to really sense such minuscule increase of strength which was like a drop of water in a vast ocean.

Now that all of them had already broken through the Martial Saint Realm and he wasn't killing powerful demon beasts for their blood and life essence, he could clearly feel all the changes.

.........

After leaving the Moonlight Village, Ling Chen didn't fly or rush. Instead, he was walking leisurely towards his next location while enjoying the scenery.

According to the villagers, there was a city a hundred miles north of the village and that was his new destination.

Right now he was trying his hardest to speed up the maturation of the seven Fruits Of Creation. He might be a peak Martial Saint, there's still a handful of people that could cause a huge threat to him.

Not to mention, this group of powerful experts seemed to have some interest in him, especially the one he met in the Heaven Desolate Region that almost killed him and called him a Fateless Monster.

Over the past three years, he had asked many people about the so-called Fateless Monster. However, none of them seemed to know anything about that term.

Though he wasn't a hundred percent sure, he had the feeling that only the Ten Demi-Gods knew the answer to that.

As Ling Chen was leisurely walking in the empty road and reciting a Buddist scripture, he suddenly stopped and looked back before saying: " Amitabha!, you have been following this poor wandering monk for days now, is there something you need to discuss with this poor monk."
