Chapter 1845 (Raw 1856): Soul Tool Forbidden Treasure

On the deck, Xiao Chen nocked an arrow to the God Shadow Bow. When he grasped the bow, he instantly felt a connection as if the bow was a part of his flesh.

Suddenly, a mysterious perception came from the God Shadow Bow.

Xiao Chen’s vision of the front continuously zoomed in. This was an ability of the God Shadow Bow. He did not have to circulate any of his Veritable Essence Energy or open his Heavenly Eye.

The instant Xiao Chen grasped the bow, his vision continuously zoomed in—fifty kilometers were just like one kilometer to him.

Even though it was very far, it seemed very close. Xiao Chen could see everything clearly.

The perception of the God Shadow Bow even quickly sought a target. When the little monk one hundred kilometers away came into view, a vague interrogative feeling appeared in Xiao Chen’s mind. That was the God Shadow Bow’s perception asking him if the little monk was the target.

This was probably a connection by flesh and thoughts.

After the God Shadow Bow received an answer from Xiao Chen, the scattered perception in front instantly focused at a spot, gathering on the little monk.

The little monk, who felt that something was wrong, quickly moved his body, and his figure flashed rapidly.

This Movement Technique was extremely terrifying. Even a regular Holy Venerate’s eyes would not be able to keep up. However, after the God Shadow Bow targeted the little monk, no matter what he did, his movements became incredibly clear to Xiao Chen. There was an invisible line between the God Shadow Bow and the little monk, firmly locking down on him.

When the two points connected, Xiao Chen did not need to make any more unnecessary actions. He only needed to draw the bowstring.

With just that, he would definitely be able to strike the little monk no matter where the little monk fled to or hid.

“Buzz!”

Xiao Chen slowly pulled on the bowstring and felt his Soul Energy flow into the bow. Even so, the bowstring still did not move, not even looking like it would move.

I can’t draw it!

Immediately, Xiao Chen thought, I think I might have bitten off more than I can chew.

He had somewhat underestimated the might of this Soul Tool. Furthermore, this bow was no ordinary Soul Tool.

This was one of the eight supreme treasures that the Scarlet Blood Pirate King specially put aside. It was definitely very special.

It was very possible that when Xiao Chen released the arrow, the little monk might really die.

Not to mention using Heart Flame, Xiao Chen already felt nervous about just shooting the arrow.

However, once the bow is drawn, there is no turning back. Little monk, I’m sorry about this.

After Xiao Chen drained one-third of his Soul Energy, he finally managed to draw the bowstring by two centimeters.

“Boom!”

Just as Xiao Chen was about to release the arrow, the arrow nocked on the bow exploded, unable to endure the huge force.

A large hole instantly appeared in the deck of the demonic ship.

The huge force blasted Xiao Chen away, sending him crashing into the crow’s-nest.

“Bang!” Xiao Chen vomited blood and fell on the deck, unable to move.

He appeared incredibly weak. The bowstring was still trembling slightly, and the remnant force continued to explode in the surroundings.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Before this force, the defense of the Black Cutlass appeared extremely weak.

Large holes kept blasting open in the ship. The surrounding sea surged and shook the entire ship intensely.

After a while, only the hull of the demonic ship remained.

Xiao Chen barely managed to get to his feet. When he saw this scene, he smiled bitterly. This time, he truly had bitten off more than he could chew, sabotaging himself.

Soul Tools were also known as Forbidden Treasures for good reason.

No wonder this was something that only a Rank 6 sect could have. Ordinary people could not control it freely.

The price of any error in usage would not be as simple as just dying.

“Big Brother, what exactly did you do? How come I cannot understand it at all?”

When the little monk heard the terrifying explosions, he rushed over and was stunned by the sight that greeted him.

The entire Black Cutlass was riddled with hundreds of holes. Xiao Chen appeared pale and extremely weak.

“Earlier, I felt death looming over me for an instant. No matter what I did, I could not shake it off. That nearly scared me to death. Big Brother, quickly tell me how exactly were you using the Heavenly Heart Art? What Martial Technique did you create? I really could not understand it at all!”

The little monk prattled on excitedly, not understanding what happened. He thought that Xiao Chen had used the Heavenly Heart Art to comprehend an extremely terrifying Martial Technique like he had.

Then, due to it being the first attempt and not controlling it properly, Xiao Chen ended up failing.

Xiao Chen replied indifferently, “If you could understand it, would I still be your big brother? Quickly, go and capture a ferocious beast. The more ferocious, the better.”

“Alright.”

Yan Chen rubbed his head as he left to follow the orders.

That was really unlucky...

Xiao Chen felt like crying as he looked at the Black Cutlass. However, after hanging out with the little monk, his mental resilience had become much sturdier.

No matter what misfortune it was, Xiao Chen was already mentally prepared.

Fortunately, this Black Cutlass had already completely demonified. All he required was a ferocious beast for the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation to absorb, taking in its flesh and soul, for the ship to recover slowly, so there was not much to worry about.

Xiao Chen carefully stored the God Shadow Bow he held. He made up his mind not to use it unless he had no other choice.

The God Shadow Bow was a great killing tool. He could not use it to test the Heart Flame’s might.

He had to use an ordinary bow first to test the Heart Flame.

Xiao Chen combed through his storage ring and took out the dusty Soul Slayer Bow. Then, he gently wiped it clean.

When looking at this bow, he could not help remembering the Sky Dome Realm.

Xiao Chen recalled that the might of this bow depended on Vital Qi and that its origins were very mysterious.

One could draw this bow only with pure Vital Qi.

However, Xiao Chen now knew that there was no such thing as an item without limits in this world. It was just that he had not reached the limits of this bow while in the Kunlun Realm.

Now, he could give it a try.

“Boom!”

Xiao Chen nocked an arrow, readied the bow, and drew the bowstring!

He used one Cauldron Force and was slightly startled. He actually had not reached the limit of the bow yet.

He continued increasing his Vital Qi and soon reached ten Cauldron Force.

Xiao Chen discovered that the more Vital Qi he poured in, the more horrifying the resistance he faced.

Xiao Chen could not help his surprise. What exactly are the origins of this bow?

This was an item from the Sky Dome Realm. Now that he was in the Great Thousand Realms, he still could not draw it to its limit.

On further thought, there was only one possibility.

The formation used when forging this bow might have been an Immortal Dao formation from the previous epoch.

The strength of the formation made up for the poor materials of the bow.

When Xiao Chen increased his strength to twenty Cauldron Force, he still had not drawn the bowstring to its maximum.

Dragon roars rang out endlessly in Xiao Chen’s body. As he drew the Soul Slayer Bow, his aura soared continuously. This old item of the Sky Dome Realm gave him quite a surprise.

The Heavenly Heart Art slowly circulated, and a clump of Heart Flame appeared on the end of the arrow. Then, the Heart Flame spread out and merged with the entire arrow.

“Whoosh!”

Xiao Chen let go, and the arrow infused with Heart Flame shot into the sky.

The arrow pierced through a late-stage Star Venerate ferocious beast flying there. The ferocious beast screeched miserably and fell into the sea.

The Black Cutlass pounced over like a hungry tiger. The Immemorial Demon Soul Formation activated, and scarlet Demonic Qi spread out, quickly absorbing that ferocious beast.

As the Immemorial Demon Soul Formation consumed the ferocious beast, the scarlet mist thickened. The damage and holes in the Black Cutlass gradually recovered.

As Xiao Chen stood upright while holding his bow, he entered deep thought. It seemed that the little monk’s Heavenly Heart Finger was slightly mightier than this.

However, this move was much faster, and the drain was practically negligible.

Xiao Chen took out more arrows. However, this time, he nocked three arrows at the same time.

Then, he infused the three arrows with Heart Flame and sent the arrows tearing through the sky. In the next moment, three miserable shrieks rang out in the surroundings, and three more ferocious beasts fell into the water.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, “There is no doubt that this simplified Heart Force is perfectly compatible with archery.”

Next, he nocked another arrow and used only one Cauldron Force to draw the bowstring. Then, he opened his Heavenly Eye.

Xiao Chen’s vision continuously expanded. Using his Heavenly Eye, he achieved an effect similar to the perception of the God Shadow Bow while using the Soul Slayer Bow.

He wanted to test the limits of range and might after he infused the arrows with Heart Flame.

His vision zoomed further and soon reached five hundred kilometers away. He targeted a tall floating mountain.

“Boom!”

The instant Xiao Chen released the arrow, that tall mountain turned into dust and disappeared from the vast sea.

Xiao Chen was stunned for a moment. Then, he startled awake.

That was fast!

This was already a power that was totally beyond the Soul Slayer Bow. Heart Force—even just the simplified version of it—possessed a flabbergasting might.

However fast the heart is, the arrow that shot out will be faster.

However far the heart is, the arrow that shot out will be farther.

Suddenly, Xiao Chen gained some comprehensions about Heart Force, vaguely feeling like he had touched on something.

He collected his thoughts and muttered to himself, “Heart Force is indeed unfathomable. Back then, when I was in the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s body, I found the space with the stone pillars incredibly vast like it was the Starry Heavens. That might have been the influence of the Scarlet Blood Pirate King’s Heart Force.”

Regardless, he had already figured out how to use this simplified Heart Force, just like the little monk had.

The little monk was the reincarnation of a great Buddha. His horrifying comprehension ability was far beyond that of ordinary people. The Heavenly Heart Finger was not something just anyone could create.

Xiao Chen could already be proud of finding a way to use Heart Force that was not weaker than the little monk’s, despite not having the little monk’s comprehension ability.

He put away the Soul Slayer Bow with satisfaction. There were still three supreme treasures that he had not checked out.

There was a secret manual, the Qiongqi Beast Ghost Pennant, and a mysterious mutated fruit.

Just smelling the mutated fruit gave Xiao Chen a comfortable, cooling feeling. Then, a burning impulse rose from his bloodline.

This was a mutated fruit that strengthened the physique and improved the bloodline. Its effects were similar to those of the Life Juice Source that Xiao Chen once obtained but should be much better.

This was not the time to consume this mutated fruit, so he put it away. Then, his gaze fell on the ghost pennant.

Xiao Chen had experienced using a Soul Tool already, so he only gave the ghost pennant a quick look before placing his Spiritual Mark in it and adding it into his storage ring.

The ghost pennant’s might was surely not far from the God Shadow Bow’s.

Now, only the secret manual was left. The words “Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art” were written on it. Xiao Chen skimmed through the manual and found that this was an extremely tyrannical Demonic Dao Cultivation Technique.

The demonic clouds that did not scatter above the Myriad Star Mountain were the result of the demonic Cultivation Technique that the Scarlet Blood Pirate King cultivated when he was alive.

After looking through the secret manual, Xiao Chen seriously put it away. He did indeed lack a demonic Cultivation Technique.

Although this demonic Cultivation Technique was tyrannical, it did not require one to eat humans or absorb souls. This method was directly comprehended from an ancient ferocious beast, the Demonic Cloud Bird.

“This is it, then.”

Xiao Chen made up his mind. The demonic Cultivation Technique that he would cultivate in the future would be this Demonic Cloud Heaven Swallowing Art.

Having decided that, he wondered, How come the little monk still has not returned after leaving for so long?

The Black Cutlass had already consumed a few ferocious beasts and nearly recovered to its original state.

“Hahahaha! Big Brother, I am back. I found a huge bird for you. It is definitely ferocious enough; it nearly managed to get away.”

While Xiao Chen was thinking, the familiar laughter of the little monk rang out.

The little monk appeared to be in a rather sorry state with some scary wounds on him. However, a smile filled his face as he dragged a gigantic scarlet bird behind him on the sea as he slowly walked over to the Black Cutlass.

The gigantic bird was nearly plucked clean of all its feathers. It looked extremely miserable, struggling and shrieking continuously. However, no matter what it did, it could not break free.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Why does this bird’s cry sound somewhat familiar?

Furthermore, Xiao Chen felt like he had seen that figure somewhere before.
