Chapter 1856: Chapter 1855: Deceiving Heaven, Crossing the Sea

After she finished speaking, Zixin finally reacted.

"You... you couldn’t have swallowed the Chaos Bead without using Barbaric Beast Tears to refine it first, right?" Zixin cried out in shock.

"What is it, is there some problem with that?" Zhang Xiaohao asked in confusion.

"Eh! That’s not right! According to the rumors, if you directly swallow a Chaos Bead without Barbaric Beast Tears to temper it, the massive Evil Qi will rush into your body and make you explode and die. Why are you fine?" Zixin asked, puzzled.

"Maybe it has something to do with the Hundred Veins Evil Qi Gang Body Roulette Technique I cultivate! After all, this Cultivation Technique is cultivated by relying on Evil Qi. Since I’m already using Evil Qi to cultivate, swallowing Chaos Beads naturally won’t be dangerous." Zhang Xiaohao said casually.

As for the real reason, he didn’t know anyway. As long as it was good for him, was there really a need to dig three feet into the ground to find out why?

"Mm." Zixin nodded, indicating she understood.

"Don’t just stand there in a daze, eat something to pad your stomach first. We’ll rest for a bit, then start moving." Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile.

With a wave of his right hand, a series of delicacies appeared on the table, and he immediately called Zixin over to eat.

Zixin was not polite. Even though these delicacies didn’t contain any Spiritual Energy, they tasted amazing. After eating them once, she still remembered the flavor vividly.

One shichen later.

The table full of delicacies was completely swept clean by Zhang Xiaohao and Zixin.

"Come on, let me check how well you’ve learned those moves." Zhang Xiaohao said with a wicked grin.

"Mm." Zixin nodded with a flushed face, walking toward Zhang Xiaohao.

The battle commenced, all kinds of fierce moves were unleashed one after another from Zhang Xiaohao’s hands, violently striking at the opponent.

Three days later.

Zhang Xiaohao got up from the bed, put on his clothes, and then put away the things scattered on the ground. As for Zixin, she had already returned into her Dragon Pattern Space.

"Chaos Bead? I’m definitely taking it!" A sharp light flashed in Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes as he spoke.

With a wave of one hand, he put away all the array flags on the ground. After a few flashes, he rushed out of the underground space and once again appeared on the surface.

"Dharma Manifestation Heaven and Earth!"

"Three Heads and Six Arms!"

With two low shouts in succession, Zhang Xiaohao’s body shook and instantly transformed into a terrifying giant ten zhang tall. In his six arms, he again held six blood-red long sabers, each one zhang and two chi long, radiating a chilling murderous aura that spread in all directions.

Roar roar roar!!!

As soon as Zhang Xiaohao appeared, the surrounding Barbaric Beast Army let out furious roars. Driven by instinct, they waved their arms and charged at Zhang Xiaohao, their massive fists bringing with them waves of terrifying attacks. Wherever they passed, the space rang with a series of sonic booms as they viciously smashed toward Zhang Xiaohao’s head.

From all directions, every route of evasion was tyrannically sealed off. Other than taking the attacks head-on, there was simply no other way out.

"Hmph! With no tiger in the mountain, the monkey dares to call himself king! What, you guys still think you can kill me? All of you can just go die!" Zhang Xiaohao said disdainfully.

With the Black Cloud Stepping Sky Boots under his feet, his body flickered as he charged forward at high speed.

The six blood-red sabers in his hands swept about, whipping up wheel after wheel of wind and fire. A massive pressure radiated from these wind-fire wheels as they domineeringly hacked toward the Barbaric Beasts ahead.

Chi chi chi!!!

Wherever the wind-fire wheels passed, even Barbaric Beasts at the Early Stage of Divinity Transformation were directly slain by Zhang Xiaohao. Only those at the Middle Stage of Divinity Transformation could barely withstand a bit, but they couldn’t hold on for long, because Zhang Xiaohao’s attacks were simply too ferocious. Unless it was a Late-stage Divinity Transformation or Peak of Divinity Transformation Barbaric Beast, there was simply not enough for Zhang Xiaohao to kill.

During this period, if any beasts above the Divinity Transformation Realm came charging over, Zhang Xiaohao would run as far as he could, absolutely not confronting them head-on.

He was indeed very powerful, but no matter how strong, if the difference in strength was too great and he still insisted on testing himself against them, that would be like an old man courting death by hanging himself.

As these Barbaric Beasts died, more and more Chaos Beads were swallowed by Zhang Xiaohao.

With the help of these Chaos Beads, Zhang Xiaohao’s Physical Body cultivation was rapidly surging forward, but the excessive Evil Qi shrouding his body was not entirely a good thing.

Half a month later.

Zhang Xiaohao no longer knew how many Barbaric Beasts he had actually slain. In any case, the number that died at his hands was simply too many; if not a hundred thousand, then at least eighty thousand. Yet looking around at the Barbaric Beasts, they were still endless, densely packed in every direction, as if there would never be an end to the killing.

Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaohao’s Physical Body cultivation had advanced another step, first reaching Nascent Soul Peak. To break through to the Physical Body level of the Divinity Transformation Realm, Zhang Xiaohao would have to challenge even stronger Barbaric Beasts in the Refining Void Realm; otherwise, breaking through would be extremely, extremely difficult!

Even after slaying Barbaric Beasts in the Refining Void Realm, he would still need to obtain even more Chaos Beads to break through again.

"These beasts! It’s already been more than half a month of chasing. Since you can’t catch up, what the hell are you still chasing for! You might as well just give it up already." Zhang Xiaohao said irritably.

With him as the center, there were Barbaric Beasts everywhere around him, and their strength was all at least Late-stage Divinity Transformation or higher. The weaker ones had long since been slaughtered by him.

Without him noticing, a layer of distinctive radiance unique to Chaos Beads was circling around his body’s surface, enveloping him entirely. Looking closely, it didn’t seem much different from the glow surrounding the bodies of the Barbaric Beasts nearby.

"Space Traversal!" Zhang Xiaohao growled in a low voice.

Surrounded by hundreds and thousands of Barbaric Beasts besieging him, his figure flashed and directly slipped into the void. When he appeared again, he was already several hundred zhang away. After a few consecutive flickers, he had completely disappeared.

Three minutes later.

Zhang Xiaohao’s figure emerged from the void, and by now the Barbaric Beasts behind him had once again been shaken off. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

His six arms swept out fiercely, and the six blood-red long sabers, carrying terrifying power, brutally slashed into over a dozen Barbaric Beasts nearby. He then swallowed the Chaos Beads inside their bodies.

Right after that, Zhang Xiaohao moved to set off again, but the palm he had just thrust out came to a halt.

"Hm? What’s going on? Why are these Barbaric Beasts ignoring me?" Zhang Xiaohao frowned.

Gripping the six blood-red sabers, he walked up to those Barbaric Beasts. They didn’t even spare him a glance as they kept walking forward, as if he was nothing but air.

"Weird! Why are they suddenly not attacking me? Could it be they’ve mistaken me for one of their own? Is it because of those Chaos Beads?" Zhang Xiaohao’s eyes lit up; he had basically already guessed the truth.
