Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 1291: Invasion Begins

Now that Xiao Chen's thoughts were focused on the Demons again, he said after thinking for a while, "You are worried that the Demon Monarchs are violating the agreement, and the Demons that came to the Sky Dome Realm are here for the remaining half of the Sky Dome Heart?"

Somewhat vexed, Ying Yue said, "I'm just a little worried. Logically speaking, there are five peak half-step Martial Emperors and a strong formation protecting the Sky Dome Heart. Even a Martial Emperor would have difficulty defeating them.

"Furthermore, the Demons have kept to the agreement for the past ten thousand years. There is no need for them to break it."

"Agreement?" Xiao Chen laughed, "How can such an agreement be reliable? Furthermore, the agreement from back then was not to send down any Martial Emperors."

A light flashed in Ying Yue's eyes. "Are you saying that the ones who came are Demon Race demonic geniuses that are as strong as a Martial Emperor, even possibly surpassing ordinary Martial Emperors?"

"I can't be sure about it, but it is very likely. You'd best inform the Martial God Palace and get them to start making preparations for the worst-case scenario."

Now that Xiao Chen had delivered the message, he had no thought of participating in this matter, so he prepared to take his leave and depart.

"Your Highness! There is a major problem!"

Just at this moment, a soldier called out as he ran over in a fluster.

"What's wrong? Why are you so rattled? Was the Sky Dome Immortal Realm invaded?" Ying Yue asked.

That soldier exclaimed in shock, "Princess is aware already?"

Xiao Chen and Ying Yue exchanged looks. Their expressions changed at the same time. They really hit it on the nail. Furthermore, the other party unexpectedly took action so fast.

"What exactly is going on? Make it clearer."

The soldier spent some time catching his breath, recovering from his fluster. Then, he said, "The Sky Dome Palace in the Sky Dome Immortal Realm, which is guarding the Sky Dome Heart, came under attack from Demons. They were very quickly defeated and already sent out requests for reinforcements to the various Royal Courts."

"How many Demons are there?"

"Two."

Ying Yue waved her hand and said, "You can leave first."

Ying Yue sighed and looked at Xiao Chen. "You really got it right. They really are demonic geniuses of the Demon Race that are as strong as Martial Emperors. The five half-step Martial Emperors that the Martial God Palace sent to guard the Sky Dome Heart are all very strong, people at the peak of their cultivation. However, they could not even block two Demons."

"I'll go with you. There is no need for your Great Qin Nation elders to go," Xiao Chen said.

"You are going?"

Ying Yue was not that clear about Xiao Chen's strength. "Are you sure you want to go? Those are two demonic geniuses of the Demon Race that rival Martial Emperors. Honestly speaking, even I do not know what to do and am feeling somewhat rattled myself."

Xiao Chen smiled and said, "It looks like you are not aware of my fame in the Kunlun Realm. Just bring me to that Sky Dome Palace, and that will be enough."

Ying Yue could not change Xiao Chen's mind. However, she still wanted to bring the old man who was protecting the Great Qin Nation's Luck with them.

Since the other side persisted, Xiao Chen did not have any other choice.

"This is the guardian elder of my Great Qin Nation's Royal Court. He is a Consummation quasi-Emperor who is as strong as a half-step Martial Emperor. He has guarded the Great Qin Nation for two hundred years."

On a warship headed for the Sky Dome Realm, Ying Yue introduced an old man with white hair and dressed in plain hemp robes to Xiao Chen.

The hemp-robed old man looked very amiable and gave off the atmosphere of an elder. After listening to Ying Yue's explanation, he already knew the severity of the situation.

"These are indeed troubled times. Ten thousand years is a cycle. These Demons finally could no longer hold themselves back," the hemp-robed old man said, feeling deeply worried. He was not optimistic about the Sky Dome Palace's situation.

Just two Demons forced the Sky Dome Palace to ask for reinforcements. This was simply unbelievable.

"Little Friend, have you heard of any outstanding young talent who can rival Martial Emperors in the Kunlun Realm?"

After the greeting, the hemp-robed old man looked at Xiao Chen and asked him a question. He had been in the Sky Dome Realm for the past two hundred years and was unaware of the Kunlun Realm's current situation.

Xiao Chen had truly never met someone like the old man described. There are some half-step Martial Emperors who could kill Martial Emperors; he even met one before.

However, aside from himself, there did not seem to be anyone in the younger generation capable of doing this. Di Wuque and the other descendants of Primes at the Astral Battlefield would still need to advance to Consummation quasi-Emperor before they could rival regular Martial Emperors.

Xiao Chen shook his head and answered honestly, "I have not heard of any."

The hemp-robed old man's expression involuntarily turned even more sullen. "Chaos is about to arrive. The Kunlun Realm's situation is not good."

Xiao Chen muttered to himself, "This is just one incident, yet this senior is stretching this so far. Isn't he making too much of this?"

Xiao Chen had been to the Sky Dome Immortal Realm before. At that time, he was only a Martial Sage. Back then, when he explored the place, there were a few forbidden lands that he could not enter.

The current situation verified his guess. The Sky Dome Palace was within one of those forbidden lands.

A heavy bloody stench hung in the air, assaulting the nose. Corpses of the Profound Beasts that terrorized people in the Sky Dome Immortal Realm lay on the ground before the three, their blood still wet.

"Let's go!" The hemp-robed old man jumped off the warship and led Xiao Chen and Ying Yue to the front.

Some of the bewildering formations and restrictions that were originally there had lost their effects. After a while, a huge palace appeared before the three. Intense energy fluctuations came from inside. action

This was the Sky Dome Palace, where half the Sky Dome Heart was, the forbidden land with five half-step Martial Emperors guarding it.

The three's figures flashed. When they arrived outside the Sky Dome Palace, they saw many corpses lying on the ground—thousands of them—and their blood had yet to dry.

"These are the cultivators who maintain the Sky Dome Dragon Formation. Once the formation is formed, even Martial Emperors would have to retreat. These people are all Martial Sages, yet they are all dead!" Ying Yue exclaimed in extreme shock.

The hemp-robed old man frowned and said, "Furthermore, they were all killed in one blow."

Xiao Chen's expression, which had been rather calm, changed slightly when he saw all these corpses.

Xiao Chen even had a deeper insight into these corpses compared to his companions. These Martial Sages not only died with one blow but also did not even get the chance to struggle before they died.

It was like these people just stood there and let others kill them. The method was extremely cruel.

"The Great Qin Nation's people, you finally arrived."

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Several sonic booms resounded. It was the reinforcements from the other four nations who apparently had already been waiting for a long time.

It turned out that these people had arrived much earlier. However, they noticed that the situation seemed off, so they waited for everyone to arrive in order to enter together.

After Ying Yue came to know this, she could not help saying angrily, "How could you all do this? The seniors in the Sky Dome Palace could die at any moment, yet you all remained here and wasted so much time!"

"Little girl, you really make yourself out to be so righteous. Do you not see these thousand Martial Sages, who died instantly even without the chance to activate the formation? Nobody knows the situation inside. If we just rushed in, instead of being any help, we might even end up dying as well," the old man from the Great Chu Nation countered. He did not feel that he had done anything wrong.

The old man from the Great Jin Nation, the strongest of the lot, said, "This was what everyone decided together. There is no need to fight over this. Let's enter now."

Suddenly, Xiao Chen said indifferently, "I'm afraid there is no need to enter anymore."

No need to enter? What does that mean?

"This is not the place for a junior like you to speak. Don't think that after you went to the Kunlun Realm and returned, you are unrivaled in the Sky Dome Realm," the black-clad old man from the Great Jin Nation said. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he looked at Xiao Chen coldly.

The short, fat old man from the Great Tang Nation said with disdain, "Ying Yue, this is an important place of the Sky Dome Realm, a restricted location of the Martial God Palace. To think that you really dare to bring just anyone here!"

The hemp-robed old man from the Great Qin Nation saw that the others were unhappy with Xiao Chen, so he said quickly, "Everyone, there is no need to get agitated. He is also one of us. Xiao Chen also joined the Martial God Palace in the Kunlun Realm. Now, we are in need of people. With him around, that is one more person."

The various old men defending the five nations all came from the Kunlun Realm. However, they had not returned for several hundred years already and did not know of Xiao Chen's exploits in the Kunlun Realm.

They were all somewhat upset that a junior dared to interrupt them. This was especially so for the black-clad Consummation quasi-Emperor old man from the Great Jin Nation. He had always been the leader of the group. When Xiao Chen interrupted his decision, of course, he would be upset.

Ying Yue pulled on Xiao Chen's hand to get him to be more low-profile and not argue with these old men.

"Xiao Chen, don't get angry. These old men all do not have any hope of advancing to Martial Emperor. Hence, they were sent down to the Sky Dome Realm. Their hearts are already filled with resentment. On seeing that you are already a Consummation quasi-Emperor at such a young age, they are definitely jealous of you. There is no need to care about them."

Xiao Chen merely smiled at Ying Yue's consolation and did not say anything. After all, there was no need to argue this. His words would soon be proven. There was already no need to go in.

A cold light flashed in the short, fat old man's eyes. "Since we are in need of people now, we will not hold you accountable for barging into this restricted area. Go help us scout the way forward."

The Great Jin Nation's black-clad old man nodded as he looked at Xiao Chen. His meaning was clear, which was for Xiao Chen to obediently function as a scout.

Xiao Chen felt helpless in his heart. This was really a group of fools. They clearly had no hope of progressing any further and were sent to the Sky Dome Realm just to wait for their lifespans to run out, yet they were so afraid of death.

These people would not be useful as reinforcements. Xiao Chen could not be bothered with them and did not make a single move.

"Did you not hear Elder Hong's words?" the black-clad old man demanded angrily.

Xiao Chen retorted indifferently, "I already said it. There is no need to go in; hence, there is no need to go in. We just have to wait here."

"Boom!"

Right after Xiao Chen spoke, three figures fled out of the distant inner hall of the Sky Dome Palace. These three figures rushed towards the group.

These three old men were all half-step Martial Emperors. Normally, they would be the strongest existences in the entire Sky Dome Realm. However, right now, they were all panicky and covered in wounds. Their eyes lacked fighting spirit, clearly utterly frightened.

"What's going on? Senior Man, Senior Yun, and Senior Lan are all out!"

The guardian elders of the other four nations forgot about reprimanding Xiao Chen and looked in shock at the three fleeing old men.

"Manlan, I already said it. It is just a group of withered old men. There is no need for any plans. We just have to suppress them with force. Do you believe me now?!"

Loud laughter came from behind. Feng Ziyi strolled in the air. However, he still followed closely after the three old men, not letting them open the distance between them at all.

Yao Manlan acknowledged Feng Ziyi's strength. However, she felt disdain for his arrogance.

If not for her using her Charm Technique to entrance the thousand Martial Sages of the Sky Dome Palace, preventing them from activating the Sky Dome Dragon Formation, how could this Feng Ziyi kill his way in so easily?

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The three old men landed before Xiao Chen and the others. However, their eyes continued to stare at the two in the sky with horror.

"Seniors, what's going on? Where are Senior Wang and Senior Ma?" the Great Jin Nation's black-clad old man asked anxiously. Now, he felt somewhat nervous.
