Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 1411: Start of the Cycle

"Master!" action

Wen Ziran showed a startled expression and quickly ran forward to support Wu Xiaotian.

Inside the war chariot, Xiao Chen was slightly startled as well. He had not expected Wu Xiaotian to be this severely injured already. No wonder even though the Snow Demon Monarch was injured, Wu Xiaotian did not give chase.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Chen also guessed one of the other reasons. The clash of Emperor's Might was like a form of momentum. What clashed was the sharpness in one's heart.

Wu Xiaotian just gave up the Saber Sovereign title and lost a significant portion of the sharpness in his heart.

Being able to clash with the Snow Demon Monarch for one hour was already Wu Xiaotian's limit. The Snow Demon Monarch was right in saying that Wu Xiaotian had aged.

Wu Xiaotian waved his hand and said, "It's fine. Go make arrangements for everyone to continue to line up and use the Saber Washing Pool. Shadowless and I will protect everyone. Don't be frightened by the Demons. So what if he is a Demon Monarch? Didn't he end up fleeing?"

"Right!"

Wen Ziran nodded and turned his head. "Everyone, please follow the arrangement from earlier and line up. Do not panic."

The many cultivators rejoiced. Unexpectedly, even after the disruption of the Demon Monarch causing a huge scene, Wu Xiaotian honored his promise.

"Many thanks, Senior Wu!" everyone said in chorus.

Wu Xiaotian smiled faintly and did not say anything more.

The honored guests proceeded to use the miraculous Saber Washing Pool in good order. With the Shadowless Saber Sovereign and Wu Xiaotian protecting them, there was nothing to worry about.

With this, the Shadowless Saber Sovereign's reputation was firmly fixed. Of the thousands of bladesmen present, not a single one of them could resist the Demon Monarch's Emperor's Might. However, at the critical moment, the Shadowless Saber Sovereign stuck his neck out and forced away the Snow Demon Monarch.

What was a Demon Monarch? That was a legendary character. The eighteen Demon Monarchs of the Deep Abyss Demonic World were all peak experts.

Every one of them possessed apocalyptic strength. By raising their hand casually, they could suppress a large group of Martial Emperors.

It was no exaggeration to say that their overwhelming Demonic Might frightened others with just one glance.

Today, not only did the Shadowless Saber Sovereign not get frightened, but he even stood out and, together with Wu Xiaotian, scared away the other party.

Furthermore, those with sharp eyes could tell that Wu Xiaotian had been on the verge of failing already. If not for Xiao Chen stepping out, the consequences would have been dire.

Little fellow, thank you, Wu Xiaotian said in a voice projection.

Xiao Chen replied, Senior exaggerates. After all, I already offended one Blood Demon Monarch; I do not mind offending a Snow Demon Monarch.

Don't call me Senior. If you don't mind, just address me as Big Brother Wu. So, what's going on with you and the Blood Demon Monarch? Wu Xiaotian asked interestedly.

Wu Xiaotian already knew who Xiao Chen was. Naturally, there was nothing to hide about the Destruction Throne. So, Xiao Chen immediately explained his experience at the Jadeite Relay Station.

After hearing that, Wu Xiaotian smiled and said, The Blood Demon Monarch is a Prime-level Demon Monarch, one level higher than the Snow Demon Monarch. You are really courageous. The Jadeite Sovereign is rather smart. Should I hand the Eternal Ice to you as well to save me some trouble?

Xiao Chen quickly waved his hand in rejection. The Eternal Ice is useless to me. You should give it to someone who needs it. The Demonic Calamity might erupt at any moment. That Snow Demon Monarch was right. Placing the Eternal Ice here is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.

Who in the Kunlun Realm do you think needs it the most?

A person immediately came to Xiao Chen's mind: Bai Wuxue.

This person mainly cultivated the will of ice. Now, he was also a leader of the Tianwu Domain. After the golden age started, he reappeared. His talents and resources were excellent.

Bai Wuxue, Xiao Chen replied without taking too long to think.

Good. I'll listen to you. After this matter is over, help me pass the Eternal Ice to him.

Wu Xiaotian's reply was even faster than Xiao Chen's. It was like he did not even have to think; there was no hesitation at all.

Big Brother Wu, have you thought it through?

Xiao Chen was somewhat shocked. The Eternal Ice had been at the Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor for at least tens of thousands of years. Yet, Big Brother Wu actually just gave it away at the drop of a hat.

In the end, this golden age is not my stage. If we just rely on us old folks, the Kunlun Realm will definitely perish in the chaotic Demonic Calamity, Wu Xiaotian said, his white hair fluttering in the wind. Xiao Chen saw through the window that his expression was not a lonely or disappointed look. Rather, it was free and at ease, unconstrained.

Half a day passed before all the honored guests left satisfied. Xiao Chen put away the Eternal Ice and also left the Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor.

---

Three days later, the news of Wu Xiaotian handing over the Saber Sovereign title along with that of the Shadowless Saber Sovereign forcing away the Snow Demon Monarch spread throughout the Kunlun Realm.

At the same time, another piece of news spread out.

At the Sword Dao tea party, a mysterious swordsman from the Demonic World appeared. He swept through all the Kunlun Realm outstanding talents with his sword; no one could last more than ten moves.

Eventually, the Sword Sovereign made an appearance and discussed the sword with this person. The two of them spoke of their understandings, and hundreds of mysterious phenomena appeared. The sun and moon fought in brilliance, ten thousand swords moved through the sky, and three thousand Sword Daos flickered, appearing and disappearing as the ancient predecessors faced off against that person from afar.

After thirty minutes, the Sword Sovereign lost and was forced to hand over the Sword Sovereign Medallion.

The Saber Sword Two Sovereigns' titles changed hands at nearly the same time. In contrast to Wu Xiaotian relinquishing the title on his own initiative, the Sword Sovereign Liu Xiaoyun got ousted. This was even more shocking.

As for that mysterious swordsman's identity, everyone discussed it. No one knew which line of the eighteen Demon Monarchs he came from.

Some said that it was from the most mysterious first-ranked Royal Hall of the eighteen Royal Halls. Some said that he was the inheritor of the Deep Abyss Demonic World's Sword Demon. Some said that he was the Dark Church's Young Church Master.

Rumors flew all over the place. What was true or not, no one knew. Like the Shadowless Saber Sovereign, no one knew that person's identity.

However, in this golden age, one would not be startled by any news for too long, as new major news would quickly arrive and draw attention from the previous news.

Xiao Chen did not know about this news. After he left the Heavenly Saber Mountain Manor, he did not immediately rush to the Tianwu Domain to hand the Eternal Ice to Bai Wuxue.

He had something more important to do: to refine the Destruction Throne into the Cycle War Chariot. Massacre, Destruction, Ruin, Despair, Pain, Grief, and Death. He finally collected all seven thrones after so much effort.

Only with massacre would there be destruction. After destruction would come ruin. With ruin would come despair, then pain, and then grief. After that, all things would go silent, seeking new life in death.

From massacre to death, the seven thrones happened to be one cycle.

Initially, Xiao Chen felt that this was not a coincidence. Many years ago, when his cultivation was still very low, he decided to use this as an opportunity to comprehend the state of cycle. Only with this could he resist Chu Chaoyun's primal chaos created by merging light and darkness.

The cycle of life to death and from death to life. A person's cycle was life. The cycle of all things was fate.

The Seven Deadly Sins—seven Divine Weapons—were already merged into the Cycle Throne long ago. All the Divine Weapons contained the core of a throne—except for Pride, the sheathless saber.

What Xiao Chen needed to do was merge Pride with the Destruction Throne and make the Cycle Throne live up to its name.

However, every saber of the Seven Deadly Sins was filled with character, clearly highlighting their uniqueness. It was either greed, envy, wrath, or others.

Pride was naturally arrogant, not even willing to be sheathed. How could it easily merge with the Destruction Throne?

Xiao Chen sat on the Cycle Throne as Pride flew about, unwilling to land in his hand.

He already tried this once before. Not only was Pride loath to merge with the throne, but it even tried to break the throne.

After that failure, it remained in its current state. No matter how Xiao Chen tried to control it, it refused to land.

"How hateful! It is just a broken saber, yet it has such a temper," Little Three said in disgust while on the Three Life Mirror.

"Whoosh!"

There was a flash of saber light. Pride sent out some saber light and chopped down on Little Three. This startled Little Three, forcing her to dodge somewhat pathetically.

When it saw this, Pride became even cockier, suddenly spinning around in the air, leaping up and down. As it moved about, it shot out resplendent saber light from its body, instantly filling the sky with howling saber images.

Pride was as smug as it could be, not giving Xiao Chen any face whatsoever. You want me to merge with that broken thing? Forget it!

Everything is ready with only the most crucial thing left. Could it be that this saber cannot progress any further?

As Xiao Chen worried about this, the Lunar Shadow Saber in its sheath, which was beside him, soared into the air. "Dang!" It struck the cavorting Pride.

The melodious sound sounded like a scream. The light of Pride disappeared, and it landed on the ground.

I'm not willing to submit!

Pride quickly started leaping about again but got ruthlessly knocked down once more. After ten-odd repetitions, it no longer dared to jump up, obediently flying into Xiao Chen's hand.

When Xiao Chen looked in front, there was only the Lunar Shadow Saber hovering in the air with its light withdrawn.
