The huge dragon head in the clouds opened its maw at the same time as Xiao Chen. A whirlpool-like sound wave came from the King Azure Dragon, forming a small black hole that clashed with the descending Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign, World Eliminating Imprint.
“Boom!”
A loud, overwhelming sound reverberated endlessly through the air. The sky shook, and the earth trembled. The nine Heavens shattered one by one behind the Divine Sovereign.
The golden light waned, and the Divine Might disappeared. Xiao Chen’s throat felt sore. This was the first time he used the full power of the Dragon Tone Art since he had achieved Great Perfection.
The Dragon Tone Art was unexpectedly effective against the Deity Race Martial Techniques.
“Dragon Tone Art!”
“What a strong Mental Energy! He must have summoned out the ancient King Azure Dragon. Otherwise, he would not be able to match the Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign.”
“We keep calling him White Robed King Xiao Chen, but we forgot about his identity as the Azure Emperor’s descendant. Unexpectedly, the grudges of ten thousand years ago continue to this great age.”
Everyone was shocked at Di Wuque’s failure to kill Xiao Chen despite using the Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign, World Eliminating Imprint.
“It’s just a mere Divine Sovereign, not very strong. It is already dead, and yet it still dares to glare at me? Eliminate!”
Di Wuque had said “eliminate” earlier. Now, Xiao Chen said the same thing. A large banner filled with starlight, giving off the tricolor light of Massacre, Death, and Ruin, thrust toward the Divine Sovereign image.
The Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign, which had lost its Divine Might, simply could not stop the Cycle Banner flying toward it like a meteor.
“Ka ca!” The banner stabbed into the forehead of the Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign. Death Qi, Ruin Qi, killing Qi, and the power of the constellation instantly spread out.
Cracks appeared in the gigantic Divine Sovereign image. Then, it exploded. All this happened too fast for Di Wuque to react.
One hundred thousand strands of divine light flew out. This divine light touched several cultivators. When they felt their Mental Energy rapidly increasing, these people immediately revealed expressions of joy.
The other cultivators promptly rushed over to try and capture these strands of light. Only the older-generation grandmaster-level Martial Sages and the disciples of the large sects did not do anything.
Holding a divine halberd, the Divine Daughter, Tian Youxi, materialized thirty-three dark-yellow pagodas. The scattered strands of divine light all surged into the dark-yellow pagodas like a gust of wind.
The heads of the cultivators who absorbed the divine light immediately exploded. The divine light surged out and entered the pagoda.
“A bunch of fools. They actually dared to recklessly absorb the energy of the Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign without being a quasi-Emperor.”
“The Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign’s image is broken. The power of faith will decline significantly. The next time Di Wuque uses this move, its might will be considerably less.”
“The Dragon Tone Art lives up to its reputation as the Azure Emperor’s creation. It is really incredible against the Deity Race.”
Di Wuque had a somewhat stunned expression. It was not that he had not known that Xiao Chen knew the Dragon Tone Art. It was just that the suppression of the Dragon Tone Art on the Deity Race Martial Techniques was like how water countered fire. Once the fire became a conflagration, splashing just a bucket of water on it would be like a praying mantis trying to stop a car.
“You gave me a palm strike, so I will return a punch to you. As they say, ‘It goes against etiquette to not respond in kind.’”
In the air, Xiao Chen had not stopped moving. Deities Descending, tenfold combat prowess, ten Dragon Force, fifty thousand tons!
“Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The sleeve on Xiao Chen’s right arm instantly tore. His skin ripped apart and blood flowed out. However, he still threw the punch.
Di Wuque squinted, and he sensed danger in his heart. He had only felt such foreboding before when facing older-generation experts or extremely dangerous and ferocious beasts.
He could also faintly make out ten ancient heavenly dragons roaring behind Xiao Chen. The might of this one punch contained the might of ten dragons, ten Dragon Force.
When the Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign image broke, Di Wuque had blanked out in shock for a while. Xiao Chen caught this period of blankness.
By the time Di Wuque returned to his senses, the fist light had already arrived before him. He had no way to dodge and no time to summon the image of the Deities’ Nation.
He quickly formed hand seals, and a third eye opened on his forehead. Then, twelve small shields flew out and materialized a miniature formation. They turned into twelve different mutated beasts encased in divine light.
These shields were a King Grade Secret Treasure that Di Wuque refined himself, the Heavenly Beast Shield. This Secret Treasure was different from others. He unilaterally worked towards the highest quality possible. However, this resulted in its strength being limited.
The Heavenly Beast Shield was a Secret Treasure tailor-made to Di Wuque’s strength. He could bring out a hundred and twenty percent of its might.
Once Di Wuque became stronger, he could immediately add in more divine materials to allow it to keep up with his improvement in strength.
Although the might and grade of this Secret Treasure were not as good as many peak King Grade Secret Treasures, it was more suitable for Di Wuque. It could improve according to Di Wuque’s improvements, and he could always bring out a hundred and twenty percent of its might.
Di Wuque was confident that no matter how powerful Xiao Chen’s punch was, even if Xiao Chen had caught hold of that momentary opening, with the Heavenly Beast Shield, he would not suffer any harm. At most, he would only lose one Secret Treasure.
However, the force of this punch far surpassed Di Wuque’s expectations. With ten dragons howling, that was fifty thousand tons of force.
The twelve pieces of the Heavenly Beast Shield instantly shattered. The mutated beast images cried nonstop in misery.
Despite this collision, the fist light’s might did not diminish. Before Di Wuque’s shocked eyes, the attack penetrated his protective divine light and shattered his armor, knocking him down.
With a loud ‘bang,’ the ground cracked. A deep pit appeared in the earth, and a hill’s worth of dirt flew into the air. As a dust cloud filled the air, no one could see the situation inside.
After three years, Di Wuque got knocked back once again. Furthermore, the person who struck him was the same—the same person who kicked him down from the Sage Mark Monument three years ago.
The Divine Son, Di Wuque, got knocked down. Everyone was stunned, not daring to believe what happened before them.
“Whoosh!”
Just when everyone’s mind turned blank, a beam of divine light flashed. Tian Youxi held the divine halberd in her hand as she charged towards Xiao Chen, who was weakened after executing Deities Descending.
Tian Youxi’s white hair flew wildly. Her divine and innocent face looked cold and expressionless. Instead of checking on Di Wuque’s injuries, the first thing she did was make a move on Xiao Chen when he showed the biggest opening. She was frighteningly calm.
A scarlet light filled the air, and bewitching saber lights appeared beside Xiao Chen. Every strand of saber light contained a boundless will of massacre. It confused people and kindled a bloodthirst that made them want to kill everything in sight.
Ye Chen held a long and slender saber as his figure flashed. He landed right in front of Xiao Chen. The scarlet light gathered together as he swung his saber at the approaching Tian Youxi.
Ye Chen’s black hair and eyes turned scarlet. His aura became extremely sinister as if he was a god of massacre that just walked out of hell as he sent out an eerie saber light.
Tian Youxi held up her divine halberd and circulated her profound Deity Race Cultivation Technique as she blocked the saber. Divine light burst out, and her clothes fluttered. Her divinity looked like it could not be profaned.
Her appearance formed a stark contrast to Ye Chen’s aura.
In the end, Ye Chen was still injured. Despite putting in his all into this attack, he could not hold back Tian Youxi for long. Soon, she pushed him back.
Tian Youxi’s eyes turned cold as she brandished her divine halberd. The divine light behind her fell like rain.
However, Xiao Chen had already recovered his wits. His weakest moment had passed. He stretched out his hand and gripped the Cycle Banner in the air.
Starlight burst out, and he blocked Tian Youxi, who was preparing to attack Ye Chen, with one move. Xiao Chen smiled faintly. “Is the Divine Daughter truly emotionless, thinking of killing Brother Ye? The attachment that this brother of mine has for you seems to be no weaker than the Divine Son’s.”
At this moment, Di Wuque’s status was unknown. The thirteen Keepers surrounded that area, not letting anyone near.
Xiao Chen had drained his Magic Energy and Vital Qi. His physical body also received a huge backlash. Moreover, he had been injured previously. Now, he was further injured despite being already injured.
However, when Xiao Chen faced this aloof, pure, innocent Divine Daughter, Tian Youxi, with her unfathomable strength, he thought about Ye Chen’s one-track mind. Then, he looked at the other party’s chest, and his mind could not help but relax.
No matter what, Xiao Chen had knocked down Di Wuque and mocked the Divine Daughter. Even encircled by the experts of the Primal Chaos Domain, surrounded by danger, he could be considered to have gotten his revenge.
Xiao Chen used his actions to tell the Three Holy Lands—to tell the world—that he would definitely rise up in this life, no matter who tried to stop him. Even Di Wuque would not be able to stop him.
Xiao Chen would not die in this half year. He would arrive for the King conferring ceremony on time and inherit the title of Azure Dragon King.
“Bang!”
The rocks around the deep crater Di Wuque had formed shattered, and a figure flew out. Blood leaked out of a corner of his lips as he revealed himself.
At this moment, Di Wuque’s complexion was pale, and blood stained his skin. However, he had already changed his clothes.
The golden light behind his back no longer existed; he was like an ordinary person. As he walked in the air, he tied his fluttering white hair into a bundle. Then he revealed a faint smile on his face.
“White Robed King Xiao Chen, descendant of the Azure Emperor, you are indeed a person with great Luck. Even Heaven Illuminating Divine Sovereign, World Eliminating Imprint could not kill you. You even grabbed the opportunity to injure me.”
Di Wuque’s tone made Xiao Chen’s heart sink. At this moment, Di Wuque’s mental state had returned to being perfect and flawless, lacking the rage from earlier.
Even though the injuries on Di Wuque’s body were incomparably severe, he still gave Xiao Chen a dangerous feeling.
Di Wuque’s eyes were calm, appearing peaceful. He said, “Many thanks. Your punch scattered my arrogance and knocked me off the divine altar. My Thirty-Three Heavenly Divine Sovereign Holy Scriptures also made a breakthrough. Now, even if you have overwhelming Luck, I can kill you in an instant.”
Xiao Chen crossed his arms over his chest and smiled faintly. “Haha! So, Brother Di’s Cultivation Technique is so special, needing someone to forcefully kick you down before you can make a breakthrough. In the future, if there is a need for it, this Xiao will not mind kicking you down a few more times.”
He then raised an eyebrow abruptly and smiled in understanding. “My mistake. For your Cultivation Technique, you still need to be angered first. Your Divine Daughter needs to be touched by others first, before someone kicks you down. Only then can you improve.
“The Cultivation Technique of the Deity Race is indeed too wonderful for words. This time, Brother Di needed two people to help before you could make your breakthrough. In the future, you can just leave it all to me alone. I will trample on your face and touch your Divine Daughter’s chest as well!”
Xiao Chen looked very proper as he nodded and explained. Occasionally, he even leered at the Tian Youxi’s chest.
Di Wuque’s perfect state of mind fractured right away. He vomited a mouthful of blood in fury. The rage in his eyes burned ferociously once more.
The Divine Daughter, Tian Youxi, became so angry that her chest rose up and down irregularly.
