C304 (2/2)

Li Chen heaved a sigh of relief as he sat down and began regulating his breathing. The power from before had still affected his Qi and meridians.

Who was that person? How did he know he had the box? Or could it be that these Rankers actually knew what was inside the War God's cave, and only wanted to find this box. It was definitely related to the inheritance of the War God.

However, no matter how Li Chen thought about it, he couldn't understand how the person felt the box was in his hands. After all, the box didn't have any Spiritual Energy fluctuations, and it didn't have any aura.

After a moment, Li Chen stopped thinking about it. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't think of a reason to do so, so he decided it was better to head towards Seven Stars Palace. Next time, he had to be more careful, and he might even find a gray box in the Seven Stars Palace.

A few suns alternated, and Li Chen arrived at the Seven Stars Hall. It was an incomparably magnificent hall, with two unknown stone statues of demonic beasts at its two sides.

If you looked closely at the eyes of the two stone statues, you would notice that they seemed to be moving and were staring at you with a piercing gaze.

Li Chen looked over from many different directions. The eyes of the stone statue seemed to be able to move. It followed closely behind Li Chen and stared at him with an unspeakable pressure.

The door of the hall was carved with a dragon and a phoenix. The dragon head faced upwards and the phoenix head faced downwards. The handle of the door was like two fire pearls, shining with a golden light.

The huge door that was dozens of feet wide stood there majestically.

Around the entrance of the Seven Stars Hall, Li Chen only saw a few people squatting down and watching. Presumably, a lot of people went to the Red Valley, but the Seven Stars Palace actually became very deserted.

Li Chen walked further into a cave to rest for the time being. He felt that his cultivation had loosened a little. He thought that he was going to break through.

Li Chen took out a few top quality spirit stones and set up a simple defensive formation around the cave. He sealed all of the spirit energy and activity inside the cave.

He had learned of this defensive array from the Kunlun Monument. Fortunately, he had memorized it. In the future, he would probably have to lay down this array for a long time to protect himself from the effects of the formation. Perhaps, even if he was injured in the future, he could hide away for a period of time and use it to recuperate.

At this moment, Li Chen was absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy to his heart's content. He did not dare to use the Heaven's Stolen Fortune because that technique was too powerful, and if he used it now, the formation would not be able to withstand it and would be reduced to a portion of spiritual energy.

The danger was extremely high, so Li Chen could only slowly absorb the spiritual energy. However, the spiritual energy here was very abundant, several times more than the spiritual energy in the outside world.

It did not take long for Li Chen's mind to become clear. Not only was his spirit sense stronger, he could also see his body and bones, as well as the meridians all over his body.

”He succeeded just like that?”

After a moment of confusion, Li Chen clenched his fists and released all of his strength. The ball of spirit energy in his body began to move restlessly as it channeled spirit energy into Li Chen's hands.

”Rumble …”

As Li Chen threw out his fists, the cave seemed to be unable to bear it and wanted to collapse. However, Li Chen's array formation was not small, so the cave only shook a few times before it stopped.

The surface of the cave was smashed by Li Chen into a deep crater that was over ten meters deep.

”The strength of the second level of the Martial Saint Realm is indeed much stronger than before. A casual punch could cause a deep pit of nearly twenty meters. If it were to hit a person, a single punch could shatter that person's body.”

”No, it should be because of the power of my Martial Saint Level 2. Ordinary people would have died if they could not handle it. There was no need to do anything, and those Martial Kings or those who had just entered the Martial Saint realm could also be easily dealt with. No wonder everyone here looked down on my cultivation.

Right now, Li Chen's mind was full of thinking about how he had advanced to Stage Two Martial Saint. He never would have thought that he would advance to Martial Saint Stage Level 2 so fast.

Level 2 of the Martial Saint at twenty-four! How heaven defying was one's talent and destiny!

He was already used to it. His cultivation speed was so fast that he would always doubt whether it was good or bad, and for a long time, Li Chen had stopped considering this issue. He even felt that his cultivation speed was still a little slow, and might not be comparable to some geniuses or experts with better talent.

Every time Li Chen trained, he would fight it alone, or break through when he was on the brink of death, never stopping for a moment. Furthermore, he had never paid attention to the speed of other people's cultivation, just how long would it take for one realm to reach another, and how many years would it take to break through to the next realm?

Li Chen did not know about this, nor did he intend to understand it. All he wanted was to improve his strength quickly, to be able to protect himself, to take revenge, and to not be trampled on by others.

This was why ordinary people would cultivate for over ten years or more in a single realm, not counting geniuses. The higher the realm, the longer the time they had to train.
