Chapter 1938

"Zi Chen, the Heaven Defying Warrior."

The old man was startled. Although he was astonished, he also had many doubts.

Zi Chen's name had spread out among the Heaven Realm experts. He was the Heaven Defying Warrior who had killed hundreds of Heaven Realm experts.

Among the ordinary Heaven Realm experts, Zi Chen was strong enough. However, among the Heaven Defying Warriors, the news about Zi Chen wasn't strong, and the response wasn't big.

In the previous few tests, although the Heaven-Defying Cultivators were injured, the conclusion was that Zi Chen could do nothing to them.

How could Zi Chen, who wasn't really strong, kill the mighty Wing Star?

"Isn't he weak?" With a doubtful look on his face, the old man voiced the doubt in his heart.

His eyes raking through the battlefield, the Heaven Defying Warrior suddenly recalled the familiar aura of heaven and earth that he had sensed that day. He said with a stern face, "The Heaven Defying Warriors of the life stars always have the title of the Strongest Heaven Defying Warrior. I said he wasn't strong because he hadn't risen yet. If I'm not wrong, the strange change of heaven and earth that day was a sign of his rise."

The old man was startled. He remembered the rumors about the Strongest Heaven Defying Warrior. Rumors said that the Strongest Heaven Defying Warrior was the existence with the biggest change. Otherwise, the alien tribes wouldn't have sped up their invasion after knowing that the Strongest Heaven Defying Warrior had appeared.

It wasn't accurate to say that the alien tribes' invasion was aimed at the Heaven Defying Warriors. However, the Heaven Defying Warriors were one of the most important reasons for the invasion.

"Notify the other Heaven Defying Warriors immediately. The Strongest Heaven Defying Warrior has risen. We need to use all of our forces to kill him," said the Heaven Defying Warrior coldly.

In fact, they had never thought about probing. After they had confirmed that Zi Chen was the Heaven Defying Warrior, the other Heaven Defying Warriors were on their way here. During this time, some of them couldn't wait and wanted to test Zi Chen.

However, their probing had stimulated Zi Chen's potential, which made him rise ahead of time. This made it more difficult to kill Zi Chen.

Seeing the other's stern face, the old man nodded. He knew that this matter couldn't be delayed.

"Tell them to move faster. We can kill Zi Chen before he rises completely."

A look of worry appeared on the old man's face as he said, "What if he disappears?"

The Heaven-Defying Cultivator smiled mysteriously. "I don't think he will."

The death of Winged Star was a heavy blow to Winged Star's forces.

However, the most important thing right now was to gather all the Heaven-Defying Cultivators and surround Zi Chen to kill him once and for all.

…

…

After killing the Winged Star, Zi Chen found a secret place to cultivate in seclusion. He knew very well that the strength he had displayed this time would definitely terrify the other Heaven-Defying Cultivators. The next time the Heaven-Defying Cultivators attacked, it wouldn't be a one-on-one battle.

He needed to take advantage of this time to condense all of his Origins into heaven-defying energy. At that time, Zi Chen would be considered a true heaven-defying powerhouse.

He was also the strongest Heaven-Defying Cultivator in the eyes of the world.

Zi Chen sat cross-legged in the sky above the Origin Sea. On his left was an energy clone flashing with golden light, on his right was a silver energy clone, and on his right was Zi Chen's golden body.

Zi Chen and his three clones were condensing the heaven-defying energy at an accelerated pace without rest.

…

…

In the outside world, as the news spread, many nearby Heaven-Defying Cultivators rushed over. Killing the Heaven-Defying Cultivators in the inhabited worlds was their top priority.

In just a few days, three Heaven-Defying Cultivators had come by invitation. All three of them had sparred with Zi Chen before and had recovered from their injuries. They were extremely shocked when they heard that Zi Chen had killed Winged Star.

"I never thought that in just a few months, he would have grown to the point where he could kill Winged Star."

Thinking back to the battle with Zi Chen, Cary still couldn't hide the shock on his face.

He was the first to find Zi Chen, so he was sure that Zi Chen was a Heaven-Defying Cultivator. During the battle, Zi Chen was indeed very strong, but not ridiculously strong. He could come and go as he pleased.

"He's always growing," Si Shan said with a serious expression.

Si Shan said with a solemn expression. When he fought Zi Chen, he also did not gain the slightest advantage.

The last one was Kuo La. With the experience of fighting two Heaven-Defying Cultivators, he was in a passive position as soon as he appeared. In the end, he fled in a sorry state. He had no right to speak here.

All three of them had fought with Zi Chen before. At that time, Zi Chen didn't have the strength to kill a Heaven-Defying Cultivator, but now he had killed Winged Star. It was obvious that Zi Chen had condensed heaven-defying energy.

Under such circumstances, it was simply courting death for a single person to challenge them.

"Song Shan has already gone out to look for Zi Chen. Let's see if he has any news."

The three of them chose to continue waiting. Two days later, two more Heaven-Defying Cultivators arrived.

Because of the different laws that formed the heaven-defying energy, there were also differences among the Heaven-Defying Cultivators. The most obvious difference was the number of laws they had fused with the heaven-defying energy. The two newcomers were both powerhouses. One was called Qian Nai, and the other was Huo Ming. Both of them had fused more than ten laws, which was more than the three of them. The heaven-defying aura they emitted was also stronger.

"Where is he? We haven't found him yet."

Huo Ming asked as soon as he arrived. His expression was very arrogant.

Cary shook his head and said, "We're still looking for him. Song Shan said that Zi Chen might be hiding and condensing the heaven-defying energy."

Huo Ming frowned slightly and said, "This world is so big. It's easier said than done to find a Heaven-Defying Cultivator. Is there no other way?"

Qian Nai wore a white robe and didn't say a word after appearing.

"Song Shan said that he has a way. He said that we should wait for more people to come before we act together. He's now trying to find Zi Chen," Cary said.

"Is there a need to wait?"

Huo Ming's face immediately showed dissatisfaction. He said, "Does Song Shan think that the six of us together won't be a match for a mere Zi Chen?"

Thinking back to when Zi Chen didn't have the heaven-defying energy, Zi Chen wasn't weaker than a Heaven-Defying Cultivator at that time. Now that he had the heaven-defying energy, his strength had probably grown to an unimaginable level. After a slight hesitation, Cary said in a deep voice, "Zi Chen is very strong."

Huo Ming sneered and said, "No matter how strong he is, he's still a Heaven-Defying Cultivator. When the time comes, we'll work together. The four of you will be responsible for holding the formation while Qian Nai and I will be responsible for killing him. I don't believe that he's strong enough to ignore my Fire Dragon Kill and Qian Niao's Thousand Crane Strike."

Heaven-Defying Cultivators were the strongest existences in a world. Naturally, they were the main force of a world. It wasn't strange for them to have a Heaven-Defying Cultivator. Moreover, their weapons were stronger than ordinary Heaven-Defying Cultivators, so they were called Heaven-Defying Cultivators.

Huo Ming's conceit made the three of them sink into contemplation. In truth, they also didn't think that Zi Chen was that strong.

It had to be known that they were all Heaven-Defying Cultivators. Their success depended on the number of laws they comprehended. They didn't believe that Zi Chen could comprehend that many laws. They wanted to compete again. Of course, they would work together.

If they really couldn't win, they could also cooperate and escape.

If six Heaven-Defying Cultivators wanted to retreat, even a Saint might not be able to stop them, let alone a Heaven-Defying Cultivator on the same level.

The three of them were somewhat shaken. Under Huo Ming's provocation, Cary directly sent a message to Song Shan.

Song Shan was a Heaven-Defying Cultivator with a horn on his head. After hearing Huo Ming's suggestion, he seemed to be hesitant. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "No, the risk is too great. From what I sensed on the battlefield, Zi Chen's Heaven-Defying Cultivator condensed a very powerful Heaven-Defying Cultivator. I don't see the Winged Cultivator's corpse on the battlefield.

"Nothingness."

Cary and the other two were shocked. Even the silent Qian Nai glanced at Song Shan.

"What kind of joke is this? For a Heaven-Defying Cultivator to turn a Heaven-Defying Cultivator into nothingness, it must be the energy of a Heaven-Defying Saint. Not seeing the corpse can only mean that Zi Chen took away the Winged Cultivator's corpse. After all, a Heaven-Defying Cultivator's corpse is also a rare refining material."

Huo Ming sneered. He didn't believe Song Shan's deduction at all.

This sentence was very reasonable. Not only could a Heaven-Defying Cultivator's corpse be refined into a Heaven-Defying Cultivator's corpse, but so could a Heaven-Defying Cultivator's corpse.

Therefore, a Heaven-Defying Cultivator's corpse wouldn't be seen in a battle between Heaven-Defying Cultivators.

"I believe in my deduction." Song Shan still insisted.

"Even if Zi Chen is very strong and the six of us can't kill him together, we can at least ensure that we are still alive. At worst, we can test his methods and then decide how many Heaven-Defying Cultivators to gather."

Huo Ming naturally felt uncomfortable if he didn't make a move after coming here and seeing his target. His suggestion was also good, so it was equivalent to testing him.

Who would have thought that when Song Shan heard this, his face would immediately turn gloomy. He coldly said, "No, absolutely not. Previously, it was because of testing that Zi Chen grew and condensed a Heaven-Defying Cultivator's energy. If we didn't test him so much, Zi Chen would have been dead by the time we arrived. How could something like this have happened?"

This time, the three of them chose to remain silent. That was indeed what they had said at the beginning. However, the three of them couldn't resist the itch in their hearts to test Zi Chen's strength, so they deliberately tested him.

Who would have thought that this test would actually speed up Zi Chen's growth?

"You said it yourself. Zi Chen has already condensed a Heaven-Defying Cultivator's energy. Then why don't we attack without suffering any losses? First, we can test his true strength. Second, we can stop him from growing stronger. Killing two birds with one stone. Why not?" Huo Ming said again.

This sentence received unanimous agreement from everyone. After all, they wouldn't die, and they could restrain Zi Chen. There was no harm in it.

After being persuaded by the three of them, Song Shan finally wavered. He nodded and said, "Alright then. We'll try first, but remember to be careful."

"But right now, the most important thing should be how to find Zi Chen."

"That's not a difficult problem. Gather all the Heaven-Defying Cultivators and outsiders. We'll go to Auspicious Lake City together."

Song Shan had long since planned on how to lure Zi Chen out. He had already secretly mobilized the outsiders' army and the Heaven-Defying Cultivators to surround Auspicious Lake City.

Now, Song Shan wanted to use the lives of all the humans in Auspicious Lake City to threaten Zi Chen and force Zi Chen to show himself.

To the Heaven-Defying Cultivators, anyone below the Heaven-Defying Realm was nothing but an ant. They didn't care at all, let alone the living beings of the Zhanwu Continent. After the other five heard this, they didn't refuse and nodded.
