Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation-Novel2

Chapter 939: I Only Wanted to Touch Her

The never-changing expression of the Divine Daughter, Tian Youxi, now had a slight change to it—a flash of a very rare murderous intent came from her.

Di Wuque turned his head and glared at that Frost Moon Palace disciple. His surging Mental Energy turned into two beams of golden light, reached this person’s eyes, and pierced through his brain.

The Frost Moon Palace disciple cried out in anguish, and his corpse fell. Then, the corpse got reduced into powder in one of the restrictions.

A few of the old men from the Frost Moon Palace frowned slightly, but they did not say anything. Based on their expressions, it seemed like they even blamed this disciple for being insensible.

Xiao Chen could not help but wonder what exactly Ye Chen had done to anger Di Wuque like this.

Back then, when Xiao Chen kicked Di Wuque down from the Sage Mark Monument, he had not even seen such a terrifying expression on Di Wuque’s face.

Suddenly, the vast palace dimmed. If one stretched out one’s hand, one would not be able to see their fingers. The various intense sounds of battle vanished together with the light, all ceasing suddenly.

The entire place became frighteningly dark.

Oh no! Xiao Chen’s heart sank. Di Wuque is about to use his killing move. This is Split Second Beginning Conscience Sword.

Xiao Chen leaped through the restriction. He executed Thunder Dragon Steps and arrived before Ye Chen.

A spot of light bloomed on Di Wuque’s fingertip. In the first split second at the beginning of time, this was the first ray of light.

In the legend of the Deity Race, the world was originally lightless. When the Deity appeared, he said, “Let there be light.” And there was light.

Split Second Beginning Conscience Sword was a Martial Technique that reenacted this legend. When the light first came into being, it was present for all who wanted it. It materialized the unblockable might of creation.

With the initial burst of light, the brilliance of the Deities’ Nation appeared behind Di Wuque. Endless praise and prayers flew out into the golden halo behind him.

The sword light tore through space. The air filled with praises as a different world appeared in midair while the sword light flew forward.

After three years, Di Wuque’s Split Second Beginning Conscience Sword had become so strong, it made others tremble; that was an earth-shattering change.

Xiao Chen did not dare to be careless. He circulated all the Law Energy in his body, and a bright moon rose. His saber soul infused into his body and turned his body into a saber, materializing the Flawless saber Dao.

The immortal will of thunder filled Xiao Chen, and the saber soul turned into a peerless saber intent emanating from every part of his body. His long hair and white robes fluttered.

Suddenly, saber hums filled the surroundings. Under the moonlight, Xiao Chen was like a perfect, flawless treasured saber. Then, he made a similar move, pointing with his finger.

The bright moon vanished and appeared on Xiao Chen’s fingertip. It turned into a strand of flawless saber light and clashed with Di Wuque’s sword light.

When the two lights collided, all the darkness in the world vanished. The sword light and the saber light clashed violently.

Shock waves spread out, shaking the entire palace wildly. Many cultivators suffered miserable deaths in the restrictions when this sudden convulsion happened.

The two forces were equal, neither triumphing over each other. In the end, both vanished, and the place turned calm again.

However, the people behind Di Wuque and the other grandmaster-level Martial Sages attracted over were all incredibly shocked; the disturbance in their hearts surged endlessly.

“Someone blocked Di Wuque’s Split Second Beginning Conscience Sword!”

“I heard that no more than five people in the younger generation can block Di Wuque’s Split Second Beginning Conscience Sword. Even the older-generation grandmaster-level Martial Sages do not dare to receive this attack.”

“This person is dead for sure. He protected the fellow that Di Wuque wanted to kill. No one can save him.”

Discussions resounded. When the cool breeze blew Xiao Chen’s fringe aside and the crowd recognized his face, there was even greater shock and disbelief.

“It’s Xiao Chen, the Xiao Chen who is causing a huge commotion in the Primal Chaos Domain. Unexpectedly, he rushed over here to seek his own death.”

“Instead of hiding and waiting for half a year to be conferred King, he actually appeared before Di Wuque.”

“Xiao Qinghan and Xia Dongyang will not spare him. Furthermore, those powerful loose cultivators all have their eye on his head.”

After recognizing Xiao Chen, the others were all incredibly shocked. However, Xia Dongyang and Xiao Qinghan reacted instantly.

Three thousand figures came from the palace behind Xiao Qinghan, each one materializing a different killing move. As a cold moon rose, he appeared like a ruler roaring.

The three thousand figures carried a destructive aura as they charged at Xiao Chen.

Xia Dongyang sent out a large ancient bell. The ‘bong’ of the bell echoed in the air, sending a blue light pressing towards Xiao Chen.

Di Wuque, on the other hand, muttered to himself with an uncertain expression on his face like he was mulling over something, in no rush to make a move.

Smiling faintly, Xiao Chen tossed out the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron and used his Law Energy to activate it. A stream of ancient mutated beast images that looked solid emerged from the cauldron. A total of one thousand mutated beast images blocked Xiao Qinghan’s three thousand killing moves.

Xiao Chen waved his hand, and the Cycle Banner flickered with a tricolor light. The light of Massacre, Death, and Ruin circled the banner pole as the banner unfurled. Vast Astral Energy poured out.

The tip of the banner pole thrust out and directly struck the incoming ancient bell. The deep ringing fell into chaos as the large bell flew back at Xia Dongyang.

“Go!”

By raising his hand, Xiao Chen had blocked the killing moves of two outstanding talents of the Primal Chaos Domain. Now, he grabbed Ye Chen and prepared to leave.

“You want to leave? To think that you intend to rescue someone that I, Di Wuque, want to kill! After disappearing for three years, you have actually gotten increasingly bolder. Die, now!”

Di Wuque snorted coldly, and a golden Deities’ Nation appeared above Xiao Chen’s head, emitting a bright golden light. An even stronger pressure than what the Profound River Image gave off bore down on Xiao Chen.

As the Deities’ Nation descended, bright lights shone and unending praises resounded. This was a nation of legends with three thousand divine palaces and countless devotees.

“Creak! Creak!” Space seemed like a ramshackle pavilion that could collapse at any moment, wobbling dangerously.

This Deities’ Nation was similar to the Profound River that Yao Chen summoned out—an image of an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure. However, even though they were both Emperor Grade Secret Treasures, the Deities’ Nation was stronger than the Profound River.

The Profound Water Sect’s Profound River was only a segment. Furthermore, it had already lost much of its profoundness. It was the result of the sect’s founding Sect Master adding in divine materials and refining it.

However, the Deities’ Nation was something that the Deity Race had brought from a world beyond the Kunlun Realm. It was an ancient relic with a long history behind it. It relied on the infusion of boundless faith, and its power had already reached an incredible level.

Di Wuque was much stronger than the Profound Water Sect’s Yao Chen as well, so he could bring out more of an Emperor Grade Secret Treasure’s might than Yao Chen could.

The moment the Deities’ Nation appeared, everyone looked at Xiao Chen like he was a dead man. The surrounding space was already restricted. No matter how excellent one’s Movement Technique was, one would not be able to escape.

“Xiao Chen, put this person down. As long as you are willing to participate in the Heroes’ Convention I’m organizing two years from now, I, Di Wuque, will help you deal with all your grudges.”

Everything seemed to be under Di Wuque’s control. As he watched the Deities’ Nation suppress Xiao Chen, he took advantage of this opportunity to extend his invitation. He continued in a sullen voice, “There has never been anyone who could rescue a person I want to kill. Xiao Chen, you are no exception, so you’d best not do anything foolish.”

Under the heavy pressure, Ye Chen’s already injured body became even weaker. He revealed a smile on his pale face as he said, “I keep saying that you are cowardly and mistermed an outstanding talent. It looks like I really made a huge mistake. We only met for a few times, and yet you helped me block this attack. This Ye is already very satisfied. Just agree to him.”

Every time Ye Chen spoke, he spat out even more blood.

Xiao Chen signaled for Ye Chen to be quiet. He smiled and said softly, “It seems that no one can stop me from saving the people I want to save. I don’t want to go all the way to the Northern Sea to look for your elders to recoup that favor you owe me. Let’s go!”

Xiao Chen’s hair and robes fluttered endlessly as he ignored Di Wuque’s words. He simply did not bother to reply, directly reaching out and grabbing Ye Chen.

The pair of pure-white wings on Xiao Chen’s back opened up. Nothing could stop So Close Yet Worlds Apart.

Xiao Chen’s Magic Energy burned continuously as various scenes flashed before his eyes. This process continued until the scene of a place outside the palace gate appeared. Then, he took a step forward.

The space under his feet folded. By the time the Deities’ Nation landed, he had already left the heavenly palace.

One step of So Close Yet Worlds Apart, moving as freely as the wind. No one in the world can stop me.

Who said that your, Di Wuque’s, Split Second Beginning Conscience Sword cannot be blocked?

Who said that I cannot save the person you, Di Wuque, want to kill?

I blocked the sword, and I saved the person! What can you do to me?!

The palace was too silent. No one dared to say anything. Di Wuque had marked a person for death, yet someone managed to save that person from under his nose.

Furthermore, Xiao Chen managed to leave after Di Wuque brought out the Deities’ Nation image, completely ignoring Di Wuque’s invitation.

Right now, Di Wuque was very famous. Everyone in the world knew about him organizing a Heroes’ Convention. There was a lot of pressure on him.

Be it the three Holy Scions of the human race, the two stars of the Fiend Race, Princess Qing Cheng of the Ghost Race, the Heavenly Corpse inheritor, or the newly emerged ancient race geniuses, before Di Wuque, they were all weaker. However, this person kicked him down three years ago. Three years later, he made such a move, sending another slap to his face.

The expressions of those who knew why Di Wuque wanted to kill this Ye Chen contorted even more.

Di Wuque’s normally calm expression darkened. He stepped forward and stood on the Deities’ Nation. The golden halos behind him became overwhelmingly dazzling.

Golden light shot out from Di Wuque’s eyes, suddenly flooding the entire area within fifty kilometers. He instantly spotted Xiao Chen’s figure. Then he shouted coldly, “After him!”

Di Wuque put away the Deities’ Nation, and his figure flashed as he charged out. The small restrictions in his way shattered on contact. The thirteen Keepers who were always around quickly set out in pursuit.

Several unfortunate treasure-hunting cultivators who were in the way died without even know why.

The Divine Daughter, Tian Youxi, sighed and gracefully followed.

Xia Dongyang’s gaze swept through the inner area. Then he asked Xiao Qinghan, “Should we give chase?”

There were still a few Magic Treasures equal to peak King Grade Secret Treasures that had not been subdued yet. What Xia Dongyang meant was, should they go and help or remain to subdue treasures?

Xiao Qinghan thought for a while before replying, “We should follow. This heavenly palace should not be the heavenly palace that has the center of the formation. While the Magic Treasures here are equal to peak King Grade Secret Treasures, the pair of wings on Xiao Chen’s back should be the most valuable.”

Xia Dongyang smiled gently and said, “Great minds think alike. This Xiao Chen killed many of the disciples from our sects. How can we just let him leave?”

There were many reasons to kill Xiao Chen. However, to these outstanding talents, there was only one real reason.

These outstanding talents wanted to stop Xiao Chen from being conferred King, to prevent the rise of a second Azure Emperor. When they thought about the Azure Emperor’s time and how miserable the outstanding talents of that generation were, they were unwilling to let such a thing happen. They were unwilling to see someone shine too brightly, overwhelming up their own brightness.
