Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 1310: Luring an Enemy Away

The Sword Technique could not be considered very brilliant. However, that carefree and casual air from twenty thousand years ago remained clearly tangible.

Strands of sword Qi flew about in the grave palace, knocking off all the dust on the walls.

As if the fully revealed wall carving got infected, the figures in the carving seemed to come life, dancing together.

The entire grave palace filled with sword images. Clangor resounded nonstop.

The distant history and the realistic tableau intertwined, tangled and complicated, inside the grave palace. The stars moved about as if space-time had gone crazy.

On the ground, Chu Chaoyun, whose face always had a carefree and calm expression, showed a somewhat flabbergasted countenance when he saw the sword images filling the grave palace.

Suddenly, two light figures came out from his body—one black and one white. They both held swords and moved together. The Sword Technique materialized was exactly the same as the one in the grave palace.

Xiao Chen found a familiar feeling among the sword images. The three sunlike spots of light in his sea of consciousness trembled, becoming bright and sharp.

They gave off intense light in the sea of consciousness as if they were suns.

Xiao Chen walked slowly, moving step by step. As he felt the Sword Dao contained in the sword intent, he continued to perfect his own Saber Dao.

When he reached the end of the painting, the figure materialized by the Life Bestowal Spell smiled faintly and nodded like it was satisfied with the wall carving it made. Then, it withdrew its sword and soared into the sky.

Chu Chaoyun raised his head and looked at the figure in the sky. His expression turned complicated as he muttered to himself, "Since you are so strong, unmatched even until today, why did you leave behind this vast dynasty, not caring about it at all?"

"Whoosh!"

The two light figures—white and black—merged into Chu Chaoyun's body. He stretched out a finger. Then, that soaring figure exploded, turning into so much dust and disappearing.

Inside the grave palace, Xiao Chen did not know what Chu Chaoyun's expression was like. He was currently focusing on what he gained from the wall carving.

However, he was very sure that the first Tianwu Emperor was the one who left behind the wall carving and that he had done it so casually and in one breath, forming this magnificent tableau.

Xiao Chen entered deep thought. Those sunlike spots of light in his sea of consciousness were a kind of energy that was comprehended using the Saber Domain after he gained insight into the Saber Dao.

For now, he called it Saber Energy, a certain level achieved through the cultivation of the Saber Dao. He also felt a similar Sword Energy from the first Tianwu Emperor's sword intent.

However, the first Tianwu Emperor's Sword Energy was much stronger than Xiao Chen's Saber Energy; it was like comparing a drop of water to an ocean.

Given this, Xiao Chen's choice in the direction of his Saber Domain was correct. As a bladesman, the saber should be the focus and the domain, a supplement.

To a bladesman, the purpose of the Saber Domain was the cultivation of this Saber Energy.

Xiao Chen's figure flashed and reappeared on the ground outside. He looked at Chu Chaoyun and said, "Thank you for doing this. Otherwise, I would not be able to understand my Saber Dao this clearly."

Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly and said, "It was unintentional; there is no need for you to thank me. On the contrary, I should be the one thanking you. It allowed me to come to understand more clearly how terrible the master of this grave is."

Hatred!

Xiao Chen saw hatred in Chu Chaoyun's eyes, a hatred for the first Tianwu Emperor.

The first Tianwu Emperor left behind a false grave, faking his death and disappearing, ignoring his descendants and the dynasty that he established. No wonder Chu Chaoyun hated him.

Where did the first Tianwu Emperor go?

Did the first Tianwu Emperor leave this abandoned land? Or perhaps he was not a person from this abandoned land in the first place, and he just went to where he should be going?

Why did Xiao Chen think like this? It was because he felt that this first Tianwu Emperor was ridiculously strong, much stronger than even the Ancient Era Martial Emperor cultivators of the Kunlun Realm.

There was also the strange Heavenly Flame. Xiao Chen felt that this Heavenly Flame might be similar to the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame that he obtained, a flame born in the primordial chaos.

However, the first Tianwu Emperor's Heavenly Flame had been nurtured to an extremely strong level. The Heavenly Snow Divine Flame that Xiao Chen had was extremely weak, needing to be fed like a baby.

Xiao Chen calmed down and asked with a grave expression, "Chu Chaoyun, why did you lure me here? What is your purpose? You can tell me now, right? You even told me about the Thunder Sovereign going missing and opened the grave. What are you trying to convey?"

Chu Chaoyun smiled and said, "With your intelligent mind, you should be able to figure this out on your own. Just think about it." action

Xiao Chen's face sank. He knew that Chu Chaoyun definitely had some other intentions—besides meeting an old friend out of the blue—in luring him here.

He started thinking quickly. Then, a flash of inspiration struck him. Luring an enemy away!

With a thought, Xiao Chen's Spiritual Sense split into two, extending frantically.

Soon, the scenes of Xiao Clan City and Qingyun Peak appeared in Xiao Chen's mind. They were calm with nothing happening.

They are fine. In that case, it can only be the remaining half of the Sky Dome Heart!

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes at Chu Chaoyun as he said, "You are trying to snatch the Sky Dome Heart?"

Chu Chaoyun smiled and said, "You are indeed not stupid. However, even if you know now, it is too late. The Sky Dome Palace should be broken already. Speaking of which, I really must thank you. If not for you demonstrating how to break that Sky Dome Dragon Formation, the Sky Dome Palace would not be this easy to overcome."

"Swoosh!"

Xiao Chen could not be bothered to say anything more. His figure flashed as he flew to the front, preparing to rush to the Sky Dome Palace.

"You want to go and help? Not so easy!"

Chu Chaoyun smiled faintly and unleashed an intense white light from his left eye as well as a terrifying black light from his right eye.

One smile split into black and white.

With Chu Chaoyun's body as the centerline, black and white separated to the left and right, respectively. The black light and white light split the entire world into two, appearing bizarre.

The black and white lights formed a shapeless aura that headed towards Xiao Chen, swallowing up everything in its way.

This development startled Xiao Chen. This fellow actually managed to comprehend the will of light and the will of darkness to the limits.

Xiao Chen's figure flickered as this aura forced him back.

He spread out his Saber Domain. The moment he landed, he pushed off the ground, shooting forward like an arrow with an even stronger aura.

Chu Chaoyun smiled calmly and spread out his Sword Domain. He stepped forward and charged at Xiao Chen.

The two did not draw the saber or the sword in their hands. They only exchanged moves with their fists and palms. However, the saber intent and sword intent contained in the attacks were not weak at all.

It was clearly an exchange between hands and feet, but intense clangor resounded in the sky.

The Saber Domain and the Sword Domain overlapped, piercing space into many pieces and creating a very sorry sight.

Xiao Chen did not use the Taiji Dao, only his Saber Domain and close combat techniques, to fight.

Both of them knew that they were just testing each other out. After one hundred moves, they both retreated ten kilometers and looked at each other from afar.

Between the two, there seemed to be a sharp point soaring into the sky, forming an invisible saber and an invisible sword.

Xiao Chen suddenly smiled and said, "Chu Chaoyun, it looks like your cultivation of the state of primal chaos is not going smoothly. The stronger the cultivation of light and darkness, the more they suppress each other, becoming increasingly difficult to merge.

A few years ago, when Xiao Chen met Chu Chaoyun, Chu Chaoyun could still merge light and darkness somewhat, forming a vague primal chaos.

However, now, despite Chu Chaoyun growing stronger, with his will of light and will of darkness having intensified, they became harder to merge.

"It is enough to block you!" Chu Chaoyun said, neither denying nor verifying Xiao Chen's guess.

Xiao Chen said indifferently, "That might not be so!"

Right after Xiao Chen spoke, he drew his Lunar Shadow Saber. Using his Flawless Saber Dao, he released an even more ferocious aura. His saber became one with his body; even his hair and clothes gave off light.

Retreat!

Before Xiao Chen's strong aura, Chu Chaoyun did not choose to clash head-on. His body gave off black and white lights as he moved back five steps.

When Chu Chaoyun could no longer move back, he drew his sword.

"Clang! Clang!" The moment Chu Chaoyun drew his sword, there were two sword hums. His body suddenly split into two. One wore black robes while the other wore white. They looked similar to each other but showed different auras. The most important thing was that both wielded Sword Domains.

Light Sword Domain and Darkness Sword Domain.

"Although I did not get inducted into the Primal Chaos Dao, it does not mean that I turned weak."

The two figures spoke at the same time. Their voices resounded everywhere. They fought against Xiao Chen, pressing in from the left and right.

Intangibly, Xiao Chen's Saber Domain got suppressed.

Taiji Dao!

With a thought, the Primordial Energy in Xiao Chen's body materialized the Taiji force field. Executing the Fish Dragon Art, Xiao Chen changed between slow and fast, his afterimages flickering. Lightning flashed in the sky as he recovered his momentum.

Xiao Chen had no intention of wasting time here with Chu Chaoyun. He still needed to rush to the Sky Dome Palace. After one hundred moves, he directly executed the Taiji Burst.

"Bang!" The ground under Xiao Chen's feet exploded violently. The power of the world that the entire Taiji force field contained immediately burst forth, blasting the place into pieces.

The explosion of the Taiji force field seemed to nearly destroy the laws of the Great Dao within one kilometer of the blast.

The two figures of Chu Chaoyun—white and black—vomited blood and went flying back. When they landed on the ground, they smiled bitterly. "It really is a huge disadvantage to fight you without Primordial Energy."

Without becoming a Martial Emperor, any outstanding talent of Xiao Chen's generation would feel they were at half strength when fighting him.

Xiao Chen coldly snorted. "Go away. Otherwise, don't blame me for bringing out my full strength against you!"

Xiao Chen was truly furious at Chu Chaoyun for delaying him until now. He still had the peak will of thunder, three layers of Saber Energy, and the Major Magic Skill Dharmic World.

If Chu Chaoyun continued to block him, Xiao Chen would not mind using some of these trump cards. However, Chu Chaoyun should have trump cards that he had not used, either. There was no question that Xiao Chen would defeat Chu Chaoyun, but whether Xiao Chen could kill Chu Chaoyun was uncertain.

The black and white Chu Chaoyuns returned their swords to their sheaths. Then, they said, "Go, then. I hope you can make it in time."

Xiao Chen sheathed his saber. Then, he glanced at Chu Chaoyun before disappearing with a flash.

"How much strength do you think he revealed?" the white-robed Chu Chaoyun said.

The black-robed Chu Chaoyun drawled in reply, "Probably about forty percent."

It was like Chu Chaoyun was speaking to himself, which appeared extremely peculiar.

The two lights—black and white—flickered. Chu Chaoyun merged back into one. His eyes both showed primal chaos as he muttered, "The great chaos in the Kunlun Realm has already started. No matter what, I hope you will be able to clear your Great Tribulation of wind and fire."

---

When Xiao Chen arrived at the Sky Dome Palace, the newly rebuilt Sky Dome Palace was in a sorry state once more.

Many cultivators lay on the ground, moaning in pain. However, most of them were fortunate, in no danger of dying.

Xiao Chen searched for Old Yun in the crowd. The other party's complexion was very poor, looking like he had aged significantly.
