Novel Full Chapter 1372
Chapter 1372 (Raw 1362 & 1363):
At the Deity Dao Union's camp in the rear, there were a few warships. There were not many of these warships, but they were all Emperor Grade warships of the various races.
This was the Deity Dao Union's true force, a total of thirty-odd warships. Under normal circumstances, a faction of any race would not be able to gather so many Emperor Grade warships. This could happen only after the Ghost Race, the Corpse Race, the Deity Race, and the Three Holy Lands joined forces.
Compared to that fleet of warships that could cover the sun and sky, these were the true main force the alliance was going to rely on to attack the Supreme Sky Sect. The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch were all gathered on the flagship in the center.
Currently, there was a screen of water in front of the three Primes on the flagship.
The image in the water screen fixed on the scene after Xiao Chen executed Dharmic World and broke the huge warship with a palm saber.
The three Primes were somewhat shocked, especially the Heaven Punishing Corpse God. Most of the people on that huge Deity Race warship were Deity Race cultivators. When the huge warship was destroyed, the one that suffered the heaviest loss was the Deity Race. Even the Divine Daughter's fate was unknown.
However, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign was not concerned about this. The Deity Race was wealthy and did not care about one Emperor Grade warship. They could even afford to lose a Divine Daughter. As long as it was not the Divine Son, it was fine.
What the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign cared about was that Xiao Chen suddenly appeared and disrupted his plans. The originally unremarkable ant materialized into a variable, preventing the huge decisive battle from being brought forward.
As long as Xiao Chen saved the many Martial Emperors on the Supreme Sky Sect's side in the surging pillar of fire, there would not be any need to fight this decisive battle. This was the direction the situation appeared to be developing towards.
"He seems to be executing a Major Magic Skill. Furthermore, he is already very familiar with it. Where did he get this Magic Skill? Some of the Immortal Venerates from the Penglai Sea do not even have such a level of Magic Skill," the East Mountain Ghost Monarch murmured with a frown.
As Primes, these three were very knowledgeable. Naturally, they could tell that Xiao Chen used a Magic Skill. Furthermore, these three Primes had some friendship with the Immortal Venerates of the Penglai Sea and had seen many Magic Skills before.
In their opinion, Xiao Chen's Magic Skill was already extremely incredible, even somewhat stronger than the Major Magic Skills of those Immortal Venerates.
In reality, it was not just somewhat stronger. The Maheśvara Buddha had been one of the peak major characters during the Immortal Epoch. Although he described it very humbly, the Major Magic Skill that he passed on to Xiao Chen was among the peak during the Immortal Epoch.
Those Immortal Cultivators of the Penglai Sea only grasped some of the tricks of Immortal Cultivation after the Immortal Epoch ended. They did not have a complete set of inheritance. They relied on fragments from their predecessors and patched these together. How could the result compare against a genuine peak Magic Skill?
A light flashed in the Heaven Punishing Corpse God's eyes. "That is not the crucial point. The crucial point is: how can this fellow dual cultivate Immortal Cultivation and Martial Cultivation?!"
Although there were few Immortal Cultivators in the Kunlun Realm, there were still a few. However, no one had ever heard of a person who could cultivate both the Immortal Dao and the Martial Dao at the same time. Doing so was a taboo. Anyone who tried would die without a doubt.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign said indifferently, "I know a little about this."
This revelation stunned the East Mountain Ghost Monarch and the Heaven Punishing Corpse God. They immediately cast their gazes on the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign muttered, "I do not know much. To truly unravel this mystery, we still have to go to the Azure Dragon Palace in the Savage Battlefield and investigate."
The moment the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign said this, the two Primes stopped asking.
Apparently, the Azure Dragon Palace had given the two Primes some bad memories.
"Let's not talk about that. Qitian, what do you think we should do now? If nothing unexpected happens, he will rescue that group of people in the surging pillar of fire." The East Mountain Ghost Monarch bought the topic back to the battle before them.
The Heaven Punishing Corpse God added, "It looks like it will end before it even starts. We will have to follow our old plan and take our time."
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign remained silent for a while as he pondered. After a while, he said ferociously, "There is no taking back an arrow that is released. If we give up halfway, it will have a negative impact on the Deity Dao Union's Luck. Now, even if we have to pay a larger price, we have no choice but to fight!"
His tone showed a determination to never give up.
The Heaven Punishing Corpse God smiled and said, "That is fine with me. I've been saying from the start to just have a hearty battle and directly level the Supreme Sky Sect. However, you refused to listen."
The East Mountain Ghost Monarch thought even deeper and was somewhat worried. However, the situation now was as the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign said; there is no taking back an arrow in flight.
"Let's fight, then. I go and block the Spirit Fox King."
---
Back at Meteor Trail City, Xiao Chen did not know that the powerhouses of the Deity Dao Union had decided to fight to the end. It did not matter whether he could rescue the many Martial Emperors in the surging pillar of fire or not; this battle could not be avoided.
Without thinking too much, Xiao Chen made use of the time when the cultivators of the huge warship were in chaos, caring only for themselves, to execute the Fish Dragon Art, turning into a dragon and soaring away towards An Junxi's group.
An Junxi and the others were already fighting with the many Respected Deities surrounding and attacking the surging pillar of fire, to open up a passage. Their morale was high.
However, there were simply too many Deity Race Respected Deities. The chances of opening up a passage in a short time were low. The longer this went on, the worse the casualty rate of this group of people would be.
Xiao Chen observed for a while. Of the cultivators blocking An Junxi's group, the most problematic one was a Deity Race Third Heaven Martial Emperor.
As for the other Respected Deities, they were only false Martial Emperors. Although there were many of them, they could not block the combined attacks of this group of people.
When this group of people's fighting spirit was completely ignited and they worked together, they were like an unstoppable flood.
An Junxi, Shui Lingling, and Xiao Bai stood at the very front of this flood. However, that Deity Race Third Heaven Martial Emperor blocked off their path completely.
If he delayed the three for a while, reinforcements would come from other places. Once surrounded, the three would be trapped like meat in a dumpling.
Xiao Chen could not care about anything else. He narrowed his eyes and locked down on that Deity Race Martial Emperor. His long hair fluttered without any wind as melodious saber hums filled the surroundings.
"Flawless Saber Technique, Void Breaking Stance!"
The light vanished for one kilometer around. Xiao Chen used his body as a saber, controlling space with the saber as he chopped down on that Deity Race Martial Emperor.
In the next moment, an incredibly resplendent saber light suddenly appeared before that Deity Race Martial Emperor, who was fighting an intense battle with the three, before he could detect anything.
The sudden appearance of this saber light was like teleportation. There were no warning signs at all.
"Hua!"
An even more piercing light shot out of this resplendent saber light. That light was startlingly fast. This Deity Race Martial Emperor thought that he had heard the sound of a treasure saber being unsheathed.
"Clang!" The saber light struck the Deity Race Martial Emperor's chest. Cracks appeared in his Golden Emperor Body as he hurtled back from the impact.
"Big Brother Xiao Chen!"
"The Azure Dragon King returned!"
Immediately, everyone's hearts pounded, and their morale soared. No one expected that Xiao Chen could deal with the problem of the huge Deity Race warship and rush back so fast.
As time was of the essence, Xiao Chen could not speak much. "The huge Deity Race warship's side will not be able to bother us for a while. I'll lead everyone in a charge out of this place first."
With Xiao Chen leading the way, the force of this flood became even more ferocious. In merely fifteen minutes, they broke a hole in this impenetrable encirclement.
When the group arrived before the surging pillar of fire, Xiao Chen raised his hand, and everyone stopped at once.
"What's wrong?!" An Junxi, who was beside him, asked.
Xiao Chen pointed to the front and said, "They already sensed this opening and are rushing over."
"Boom!"
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, the fiery wall in front of them exploded. Fang Baiyu and his group came out from it in sorry states.
This group numbered in the hundreds. Many were injured, pale, and fatigued. A significant number were covered in injuries and extremely weak. They no longer showed the atmosphere of Martial Emperors. Instead, they looked like a group of refugees with nowhere to go.
With this scene, one could easily imagine what kind of losses they suffered under the sudden attack of the one thousand Respected Deities.
This also showed the difficulties they faced after getting surrounded. If Xiao Chen and the others had not come, these Martial Emperors would have ended up dying from the encirclement.
Although the surging pillar of fire could block some attacks, it was ineffective against the Deity Race's Mental Energy Martial Techniques.
"Why is it you? The Sect Master and the others are not here yet?"
When Fang Baiyu, the leader of the three Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors, saw that it was Xiao Chen waiting for them, he revealed an extremely shocked expression. No matter what, he would not have imagined that the one to open up a path for them was the Xiao Chen that they were dissatisfied with previously.
"Xiao Chen, you were right. We were really wrong this time."
The three Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors thought back to when Xiao Chen said they should make preparations to retreat at any time. Now that they saw Xiao Chen again, they felt somewhat guilty.
