Chapter 753: Strength Regression

Chen Xiao was stunned. He didn't expect this guy to commit suicide so simply. This left him no chance to ask all the questions he had later.

Fortunately, the last words he said still gave Chen Xiao some useful information: this guy was indeed not under Ling Xiao's control, but belonged to the mysterious force behind Ling Xiao. And from his performance just now, that mysterious force should be quite powerful, so much so that he felt that Chen Xiao was just an ant that could be crushed at any time when facing that force.

Ant?

Chen Xiao's expression was solemn, but then, a burst of fighting spirit broke out in his heart. No matter what kind of force stood in front of him, he would not be afraid. The God of War in his previous life, the only thing he carried through to the end was just one word - fight!

The corpse in his hand was no longer useful, so Chen Xiao threw it away. Then he turned around and looked at the Sea Emperor. He had already come out of the ancient tree and stuffed the pill into his mouth. His breath had obviously recovered a lot.

After all, he was the leader of the Sea Emperor Sect. How could he not have some good things in his hands?

"Xiao Chen, what's wrong with your strength?" The recovering Sea Emperor asked first. He witnessed the whole process of Chen Xiao from being seriously injured to breaking out of the cocoon. What happened in the middle that caused Chen Xiao's strength to reach such a terrifying level.

"I don't know about this either. After I woke up, I felt that my body was full of..." Before the last word of strength came out, Chen Xiao's breath suddenly began to drop, and the energy in his body retreated rapidly like a tide. Then, red energy flew out of his body and returned to the blood-colored ancient tree.

"This..." Chen Xiao was stunned. His strength finally stopped at the Nine-Star Martial Saint. Compared with the previous state, it was completely a world of difference.

The Sea Emperor was also stunned on the spot. But then he felt that this situation was completely acceptable. When Chen Xiao turned into a cocoon before, he relied on the energy given by the blood-colored ancient tree to do so. With so much energy, even the Sea Emperor might not be able to absorb it, let alone Chen Xiao.

But the actual situation is that Chen Xiao is not only fine, but his strength has skyrocketed after breaking out of the cocoon. This situation is really hard for him to accept. On the contrary, this scene can be explained now.

Chen Xiao was able to reach such strength because of the energy given by the blood-colored ancient tree, and now, the blood-colored ancient tree just received that energy back. In this way, Chen Xiao's strength naturally changed back.

The same Sea King, looking at Chen Xiao who was still in a daze, was thinking whether to tell Chen Xiao about this. But before he opened his mouth, Chen Xiao had come back to his senses, and there was no different expression on his face.

Chen Xiao was eager for strength. The strength that far exceeded Master Tu was indeed very strong. But Chen Xiao also felt that the strength came too inexplicably. Now, there is nothing wrong. Being down-to-earth and improving step by step is the most correct way to practice. Moreover, Chen Xiao did not really have no gains. At least, hasn't he broken through the eight-star and reached the nine-star martial saint? As long as he works hard, it is completely possible to break through to the god level.

"Sea King, how long have I been unconscious? What happened in the middle?" Without entangled in the decline of strength, Chen Xiao asked the Sea King.

In this regard, the Sea Emperor naturally would not hide anything and roughly recounted the whole process of finding Chen Xiao. At the end, he asked Chen Xiao: "Xiao Chen, what is the origin of this guy? Why would he deal with you for no reason? Also, has something happened to the Sea Emperor Sect?"

The Sea Emperor Sect is what the Sea Emperor is most worried about.

"He was sent by the Mie Zong to deal with me." Chen Xiao did not hide it and answered.

"He was sent by the Mie Zong!?" The Sea Emperor was stunned. There was such a powerful guy in the Mie Zong? But then he was puzzled again: Mie Zong was fine, why would they send such a powerful guy to deal with Chen Xiao?

The Sea Emperor did not ask this question. No matter what the conflict between Mie Zong and Chen Xiao is, he is now on the same line with Chen Xiao. Moreover, Chen Xiao's strength is not necessarily lower than that of the Sea Emperor. In particular, he has also received the support of the bloody ancient tree, which the Sea Emperor particularly values.

The Sea Emperor has been in the ruins for so many days, except for knowing that the energy of the ancient tree is very good, he has not found anything else.

"As for the Sea Emperor Sect, I don't know what will happen now. The situation was too critical at that time. That guy came directly towards me. I had no choice but to escape at the first time." If Chen Xiao hadn't decisively chosen to escape at that time, perhaps the person who has become a corpse now would be him.

"What should we do now? Can you still get out of the ruins? You have been in here for a day. You can't be like me and can't get out, right?" The Sea Emperor was worried. If Chen Xiao was also in this situation, then if something really happened to the Sea Emperor Sect, the Sea Emperor would have no way to deal with it.

"Don't worry about this. I feel that I will be teleported out of the ruins in a while." Chen Xiao replied. This was not his intuition, but he actually felt it. The ruins had already produced a sense of repulsion for him, which was very difficult to detect, and it would increase little by little, and when it reached a sufficient level, it would teleport him out of the ruins.

He was able to detect this because of the sudden surge in Chen Xiao's strength.

But compared to leaving the ruins, Chen Xiao's attention is now on the blood-colored ancient tree. He doesn't understand why the ancient tree suddenly helped him at that time. Is there any relationship between him and the ancient tree?

Thinking back to the past, all the things about three thousand years ago made Chen Xiao more curious about everything that happened at that time. Especially many things that were obviously not done by him, but were inexplicably related to him.

So would the blood-colored ancient tree in front of him be like this?

Standing under the trunk, Chen Xiao didn't find anything. So, he immediately flew over the ancient tree.

"Xiao Chen, be careful, you can't just go up this ancient tree." Seeing Chen Xiao suddenly rushing up, Hai Huang hurriedly reminded him. At the beginning, he thought about going up along the trunk and looking for any discoveries in the middle of the trunk. But the result was that the closer he went to the trunk, the stronger the inexplicable pressure became. Even with Hai Huang's strength, he could only choose to give up in the end.

But what surprised Hai Huang was that Chen Xiao didn't have any abnormal situation and flew into the tree canopy easily.

What is going on?

The Sea King was confused. Could it be that this ancient tree had consciousness? Would it also see whether people choose to release pressure?

Such speculation was obviously unreliable...
