Chapter 1542 (Raw 1524): Another Stalemate

action

Xiao Chen was currently fighting the Thunder Sovereign in the sky. Like the rest, he learned of the deaths of Di Wuque and Yan Shisan, as well as the miserable situations of the various shocking scenes.

Although the two focused on fighting each other, they kept track of the entire battlefield. They knew everything that happened in every corner.

Damn it!

Xiao Chen felt a pang in his heart. He shouted at the other party, asking, “Is this the result that you want?!”

The Thunder Sovereign smiled coldly without showing any emotions. “You are the one who created this situation. If you had obediently surrendered and handed over the Rock of Origin, would there be such a result?”

“You must be dreaming!” Xiao Chen shouted and suddenly attacked, once again executing a forbidden art, the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist’s Deities Descending.

He instantly burst forth with tenfold combat prowess. A horrifying might and pressure made the raging him look exceptionally scary.

The Thunder Sovereign narrowed his eyes. In the time it took for a spark to fly, he crossed his arms and formed a shield of black lightning suffused with all sorts of negative emotions.

“Bang!”

The surging force from the punch burst out and immediately knocked back the Thunder Sovereign. The black lightning shield shattered and turned to ashes.

The Thunder Sovereign wiped away the blood at the corners of his lips. Instead of getting angry, he smiled and said, “Tenfold combat prowess deals a lot of damage to you. This was your only opportunity to use it. Now that you have used it, you cannot do anything but suffer from me, who am still in my peak state.”

“Whoosh!”

Who would have imagined that Xiao Chen would ignore the Thunder Sovereign? He turned and headed for where the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign fought the remaining two Demon Monarchs.

The Thunder Sovereign frowned and said, “What is he doing? Sneak-attacking them? That’s impossible. The moment he attacks, those two Demon Monarchs will immediately sense it and escape. Could it be that he is going to use the state of cycle and turn back time and space?”

Di Wuque and Yan Shisan were already dead. Wanting to reverse time and space was simply a heaven-defying act.

The price that Xiao Chen would end up paying would be hard to imagine. Furthermore, if he truly managed to save them, he would suffer the wrath of heaven for defying heaven and changing fate. Even during the Immortal Epoch, the Immortal Lords did not dare to do that casually.

This is fine, as well. As long as Xiao Chen truly saves those two, the moment he returns to the present, I’ll deal him a fatal blow.

The Thunder Sovereign quickly made up his mind, and killing Qi flashed in his eyes. Black lightning started storing up power above his head.

“Ao Jiao!” Xiao Chen shouted, and the Lunar Shadow Saber unsheathed at lightning speed. He used his full power in this saber strike.

Inside Xiao Chen’s sea of consciousness, the Cycle Heart gave off a bright light. The Thunder Sovereign was right. He was going to reverse time and space, to defy heaven and change fate.

Xiao Chen turned around and swung his saber. The resistance that he faced was startlingly great.

However, Xiao Chen knew that when he returned to the past, the resistance would be even greater. However, this time, just this one time, he was not willing to give up.

“Pu ci!”

Light flashed as Xiao Chen drained half of his Veritable Essence Energy to finally take the hardest step. Then, he saw Di Wuque.

Unfortunately, he saw the Di Wuque who had already punched. Even after putting in all his effort to turn back time and space, he was still too late.

“Di Wuque, why?” Xiao Chen asked as his figure trembled.

Di Wuque’s entire body was covered in blood, his skin cracked all over, in so much pain that he wished for death. Tears sparkled at the corners of his eyes. Those were not tears from pain but of release.

Di Wuque’s heart had withered away long ago when the Divine Daughter Tian Youxi died from the rebound of a formation when she helped him attack Xiao Chen.

At first, Di Wuque was surprised when he saw Xiao Chen. Then, he recalled a certain technique of Xiao Chen’s and understood.

“Reversing time and space? Unexpectedly, you came for me. I have a question: this punch of mine, this peak punch, can it defeat you?”

Xiao Chen nodded and said, “Yes.”

A smile appeared in Di Wuque’s lips. Then, his body exploded. The past did not change.

“Whoosh!”

After the explosion, time and space rewound. Xiao Chen returned to the present, to the moment before he drew the Lunar Shadow Saber.

Then, Xiao Chen turned around and swung his saber, blocking the attack that the Thunder Sovereign had been storing up power for. He had not defied heaven and changed fate, so he did not pay too big a price.

“Dark Church’s Church Master, I will definitely kill you, definitely,” Xiao Chen growled in a rage with overwhelming killing intent.

The Thunder Sovereign smiled and retorted, “Unfortunately, rage cannot kill.”

The two commenced another lightning-speed exchange of moves. This time, they no longer tested each other out, attacking with their full strength instead.

“Kill!”

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign roared as he watched Di Wuque die before him. The Deities’ Nation sent out more power of faith, and his figure grew larger again.

A boundless divine radiance continuously poured onto the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign’s body, allowing him to block the attacks of the Earth Demon Monarch and the Shadow Demon Monarch easily.

Despite his rage, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign did not lose his rationality.

He swept his gaze over the battlefield, seeing the situation of the various battles, and sent out attacks while blocking the Earth Demon Monarch and the Shadow Demon Monarch.

Many huge fingers shining with a divine radiance fell from the sky.

Each time a finger fell, it killed a large number of Demon cultivators. The deaths of Di Wuque and Yan Shisan were exchanged for the chance for a Prime to make his move. Immediately, everyone in the entire Kunlun Realm’s camp released their bated breath.

Many of the Demon cultivators who had charged over were forced back. Many were severely injured or killed, alleviating the pressure on the Kunlun Realm.

“People of the Corpse God Palace, come to me and ruthlessly charge forward!”

Di Wuque’s death made Xing Jue feel grief and pain. His eyes turned bloodshot as he charged at the Iron Demons, the Demon Race that was the hardest to deal with.

All the Corpse Race cultivators still alive on the battlefield gritted their teeth and rushed to Xing Jue, charging along with him.

“Disciples of the Thunder and Lightning Palace, if you are still alive, let out a roar and charge with me!”

Di Wuque and Yan Shisan—two outstanding talents—exchanged their lives for a gamble, gaining the head of a Demon Monarch. The pain in An Junxi’s heart was indescribable, causing him to shout out somewhat crazily.

“First Senior Brother, I, Tang Meng, am still around.”

“First Senior Brother, I, Fang Xuan, am still around.”

...

Many Thunder and Lightning Palace disciples answered the call. All of them cultivated lightning-attributed Cultivation Techniques and were filled with energy. Even if they were severely injured, their voices boomed like thunder.

“Disciples of the Divine Martial Gate, the Phoenix’s Passion Palace, and the White Emperor City, gather up! I, Feng Wuji, am still around. Do not let the Demons break your courage!”

The last of the three Holy Scions, Feng Wuji, roared, inciting the disciples of the Tianwu Domain’s Three Holy Lands to respond.

“Bladesmen of the Dragon’s Gate, form the Yinyang Saber Formation and charge!”

“Orders received!”

Halfway up the mountain, Mo Chen shouted, and the many Dragon’s Gate disciples holding sabers assembled quickly.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Two thousand elite Dragon’s Gate disciples fell into formation, materializing the Yinyang Saber Formation. This was the first time the formation, which Xiao Chen had taught them, would be used in actual combat. A huge Taiji diagram appeared under their feet.

As the Taiji diagram spun around, the two thousand bladesmen formed two dragons—one light and one dark.

Immediately, blood and flesh strewed all over the place. A myriad of saber lights mangled the flesh of countless Demon cultivators. There was no time to dodge; many hastily fled down the mountain.

“What a strong saber formation! It’s the Dragon’s Gate’s people.”

“This seems to be the saber formation that the Azure Dragon King once used. How ferocious!”

The Yinyang Saber Formation was like two saber dragons accompanied by countless saber lights. With the Taiji diagram below, they swept through everything before them.

Soon, the Dragon’s Gate disciples reached the very front, covering the fatigued Corpse Race cultivators. The sharp, unparalleled saber lights cut up even Iron Demons, causing them to scream in pain.

Mo Chen felt gratified but also regretted somewhat that Xiao Chen had not comprehended the even stronger Four Division Saber Formation.

Otherwise, this formation would be even more powerful.

Jin Dabao held his coffin lid as he weaved his fat body nimbly through the vast army.

The fatty did not attack a lot. However, every time he did, a Demon cultivator would fall and die, thanks to the coffin lid that was used for the burial of the last Tianwu Emperor. Now that the fatty’s cultivation was higher, he could draw out more of its might.

Gong Yangyu wielded his staff, appearing boundlessly tyrannical. When he swung it, even the strong Iron Demons got forced back.

Xuanyuan Zhantian, who possessed the Sovereign War Body, showed a strong aura, making him the most dazzling among the Dragon’s Gate outstanding talents.

When he swung his Heavenly War Halberd with all his might, he could chop the Iron Demons, who possessed a startling defense, in half. This looked very horrifying.

When the Dragon’s Gate erupted in full force, it beat back this wave of attacks.

Outstanding talent after outstanding talent stepped forward at the critical moment, gathering cultivators from their factions and triggering a flood. They used this rare opportunity to let their aura flourish and truly stop the armies of the Demon Races, which had already charged up the mountain.

A ghostly black cloud came from the distance, looking like a knife stabbing in. Everywhere it passed, Demon cultivators fell from the sky.

“It’s the Ghost Domain. The reinforcements from the Ghost Race are here!”

After clearly seeing what the cloud was, everyone in the Kunlun Realm’s camp let out joyful smiles. Now that reinforcements came at this critical moment, they all felt excited.

Having finally unified the Ghost Race’s factions, Ghost Empress Xi Xun led the strong cultivators of the Spirit Palace to tear a hole in the sky and scatter the Demonic Beast army.

The overwhelming momentum of the Demons was finally beaten down. The Kunlun Realm stopped the first wave of this hardest trial.

From the first contact, the Demon experts had used their advantage in numbers to beat the Kunlun Realm into a fluster.

Several outstanding talents had died in battle. The tragic scenes of them dying together with their opponents still failed to turn the tide. The Demonic World’s advantage had expanded, the Demons charging up Kunlun Mountain and entering the place where the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring was.

Fortunately, Di Wuque and Yan Shisan took a gamble, sacrificing themselves at a critical moment, saving the Kunlun Realm from this wave, and restoring the stalemate.

That was right. Even with the death of a Demon Monarch—the strongest Demon Monarch at that—failed to reverse the situation on the battlefield.

There were simply too many Demonic World experts; the large army of Demonic Beasts was even vaster and boundless.

Such a result was very difficult for the Kunlun Realm to achieve. However, the many Demon Monarchs had originally thought they could easily suppress the Kunlun Realm.

Who would have imagined that the price that the Demonic World would pay was even higher than that of the Kunlun Realm?
