Just a quick shameless plug for my merch store:
Chapter 1439 (Raw 1428):
After three years of bitter cultivation, Xiao Chen's skill at hiding his aura had improved considerably. If he wanted to, even a Prime would not be able to discover his presence.
As Xiao Chen flew, he saw many Kunlun Realm cultivators who wanted to leave being blocked by the Deity Dao Union.
He checked with his Spiritual Sense and discovered that the Deity Dao Union wanted them to hand over some of their gains from the Savage Battlefield. If they did not want to surrender their gains, they would have to join the Deity Dao Union. Extremely overbearing.
With the strength that the Deity Dao Union showed when fighting with the Demon Royal Halls, they did have the capital to be overbearing.
Xiao Chen did not have any good feelings for the Deity Dao Union. Normally, if there were no other concerns, he would not have a problem with lending a hand. However, now, he could not cause any disturbances.
But just as Xiao Chen wanted to leave while concealing his aura, he saw a group of familiar figures being blocked by the Deity Dao Union. From moving quickly in the clouds, he came to a sudden stop.
There were few people in the world who could make Xiao Chen put himself at risk. He had always been calm and decisive, never hesitating.
However, these familiar figures were clearly part of that extremely small minority.
This was very surprising. Xiao Chen had not expected Shui Lingling, Xiao Bai, and their groups to be trapped in this Savage Battlefield. He remembered very clearly that when the Demon Monarch corpse was summoned, his first senior sister and the others retreated immediately.
It had already been five days, so why were they still trapped here?
That was right. The group below was made up of Shui Lingling, An Junxi, Xiao Bai, Kong Yuan, Yuan Xu, and the other Fiend Race outstanding talents. Logically, since all of them were outstanding talents, they should have no difficulty breaking through the lockdown of the Deity Dao Union.
However, they were now helpless as the one blocking them was Xing Jue, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God's personal disciple. More importantly, Xing Jue had forged a Deity Statue. Although he was unlikely to advance to Prime in this life, the rapid boost his strength received within a short period allowed him to suppress Shui Lingling and the others now.
There were also three Deity Dao Union warships behind Xing Jue with many other elites of the Deity Race, the Ghost Race, and the Corpse Race on the warships.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
More than a hundred people jumped off the warships. All of them possessed rather high cultivations. Furthermore, they seemed to cultivate the same Cultivation Technique. With one hundred people forming a formation, as they walked, the ground glittered with golden light, and the images of Deity Statues flickered in the sky.
At the sight of such a formation, Xiao Bai showed a trace of worry on her face. She lowered her head and said, "Elder Sister Lingling, sorry. If not for me wanting to look for the Shadowless Saber Sovereign, everyone would not have been blocked."
Shui Lingling smiled and asked, "Why are you blaming yourself for this? I also agreed to search for the Shadowless Saber Sovereign. So if there is anyone to blame, blame me as well."
Holding the True Dragon Lightning Whip in his hand, An Junxi said calmly, "These people from the Deity Dao Union are becoming increasingly outrageous. Without the Deity Race building Deity Statues for them, they would not be so arrogant."
Xing Jue slowly walked over with a hundred Deity Dao Union cultivators. The three warships behind cast a huge shadow on them, putting a great pressure.
"Miss Shui, we meet again. I believe you will not be willing to join our Deity Dao Union. However, the rules cannot change. Hand over your gains from the Savage Battlefield, and you may leave," Xing Jue said unhurriedly with a faint smile.
"Since when did the Deity Dao Union stoop to banditry? Are you all that poor?" Shui Lingling retorted coldly.
"That's not true, not at all. The Deity Dao Union is not poor; rather, it possesses the greatest wealth in the world. As long as you join the Deity Dao Union, not only do you not need to hand over your gains, but you can even receive all sorts of treasures from the Deity Dao Union."
Xing Jue did not get angry. He smiled and added, "For example, for the few of you, if you are willing to join, the Deity Dao Union can forge Deity Statues for all of you immediately, which will allow your strength to advance rapidly."
"Like you?"
"That's right, as strong as me!"
"What I meant was like you, a person with the body of a human but the heart of a cur," Shui Lingling explained with a smile.
Xing Jue's face sank. "You do not know what's good for you. Very well, you Supreme Sky Sect dogs have been living too comfortable a life. I should teach you all a lesson."
Just at this moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly plunged from the sky, heading for Xing Jue.
The bolt of lightning appeared without any signs, catching Xing Jue off guard. He quickly retreated in a fluster, barely avoiding getting struck.
"Buzz!"
The lightning bolt disappeared. It turned out that a saber had accompanied the lightning bolt.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Bolts of lightning lashed down repeatedly. Every time a bolt of lightning fell, a saber accompanied it. The lightning bolts were swift and arrived in rapid succession, giving no warning as three bolts struck.
Xing Jue appeared somewhat unstable, nearly falling over. The situation felt very unbearable. He tried accumulating energy in his body several times but kept getting interrupted, so he could only dodge.
Xing Jue urgently needed to take a breather. However, the more he rushed, the more openings he revealed.
The lightning in the sky did not give Xing Jue a chance to catch his breath. When the fifth bolt of lightning lashed down, he cried out in pain, and his body twitched. A saber stabbed into his chest, firmly pinning him to the ground.
Electricity flickered on the saber. When Xing Jue touched it, he got electrocuted, and his entire body spasmed as he screamed.
Xiao Chen broke through the clouds and descended rapidly. "Clang! Clang! Clang!" The sabers stabbed into the ground returned to the throne quickly, leaving only Wrath pinning Xing Jue to the ground.
"It's the Shadowless Saber Sovereign. Quickly, let the Elders know!"
When the one hundred cultivators behind saw Xiao Chen descend, they ignored the pinned Xing Jue, returning to the warships in a fluster and quickly fleeing far away.
It was like they had seen the devil and panicked.
With a thought, Wrath returned to its sheath as well. Xing Jue coughed a few times and smiled as he looked at Xiao Chen. "Shadowless Saber Sovereign, indeed, you have not left yet. Had you not shown yourself, it would have been fine. Now that you have, this Savage Battlefield will be your burial ground."
"Whoosh!"
Xiao Chen stretched out his hand, and a strong suction appeared, pulling Xing Jue over. When he saw Xing Jue's flustered face, he felt sorrow for some reason.
Xiao Chen thought back to when he first met Xing Jue at the King conferral ceremony. At that time, Xing Jue possessed a keen sharpness, but now, despite his strength, there was none of that sharpness.
With such willpower, Xing Jue would never advance to Prime. The Deity Dao Union truly caused a lot of trouble. If the Deity Dao Union were to rule the entire Kunlun Realm, in less than one hundred years, the Luck of all the races, aside from the Deity Race's, would dwindle. Those races might even end up extinct.
The wild ambitions of the Deity Race were abundantly clear.
However, this was Xing Jue's own choice. Xiao Chen could not be bothered with it, only feeling sorrow over it.
"I won't kill you. Living is the greatest punishment for you."
Xiao Chen casually tossed Xing Jue away, sending him ten kilometers away. When Xing Jue landed with a 'bang,' the impact kicked up a large cloud of dust.
Right now, Xiao Chen was already equivalent to an Eighth Heaven Martial Emperor. Furthermore, with his cultivation in the Saber Dao, a person like Xing Jue was beneath his notice.
"Whoosh!"
The throne turned into rainbow light that tapered into a black spot and disappeared, quickly vanishing from the sight of Shui Lingling and the others.
