Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation

Chapter 1377 (Raw 1368): Blood Clouds Covering the Sky

The Heaven Punishing Corpse God said, "Qitian, back then, you walked a golden Emperor's Road, right?"

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign nodded. "Yes. Back then, I had many competitors. However, after I walked the golden Emperor's Road, no one within the Deity Race dared to eye the position of Deity Sovereign anymore."

The East Mountain Ghost Monarch muttered, "The golden Emperor's Road already allows one to advance to Prime. In that case, could the nine-colored Emperor's Road lead to beyond Prime?"

"Everything is possible. Throughout history, the existence of beings beyond Prime has been a mystery. Several senior powerhouses completely vanished from history. They might have possibly transcended Prime and left this abandoned land."

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign looked at the two and asked, "An outstanding talent that can call out a nine-colored Emperor's Road, is this worth the two of you gambling one more time?"

The Heaven Punishing Corpse God exchanged looks with the East Mountain Ghost Monarch and replied, "I'll bet on it. I'm willing to help protect Di Wuque."

"I'm willing too."

The appearance of the nine-colored Emperor's Road made the Heaven Punishing Corpse God and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch change their minds. The reason was simple: it was for that minuscule chance. If Di Wuque could clear his Great Tribulation of wind and fire, he might even possibly transcend Primes in the future.

To the two, this was a great temptation that could not be avoided!

Suddenly, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God pointed at the water screen and exclaimed with some fluster in his expression, "What's that?!"

The water screen showed Di Wuque and the sky he faced. Suddenly, large patches of scarlet clouds gathered. These clouds were scarlet like blood, very eye-catching. They looked like a pool of blood hanging high in the sky.

Such a scene was incredible. It had never been seen or heard of before.

Back in Meteor Trail City, Xiao Chen, who was fighting with the four Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors, felt that something was wrong the instant the nine-colored Emperor's Road descended.

The energy in his body that he had been controlling turned uncontrollable. Immediately, all his energy burst out.

One hundred strands of Primordial Energy, one hundred Dragon Force of Vital Qi, the Magic Energy in Xiao Chen's sea of consciousness burned, the peak will of thunder flickered with light, all the saber intent he possessed unleashed in a berserk manner. A strong wind blew, both the sky and ground filled with Xiao Chen's sharp saber intent.

Suddenly, countless mysterious phenomena leaped out of Xiao Chen's body. There were Azure Dragons, lightning, berserk sabers, and many more.

This startled the four Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors who held the upper hand and were suppressing Xiao Chen in the fight.

These mysterious phenomena shocked the four Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors. They all retreated at the same time, avoiding the brilliant lights.

"Something is wrong with this fellow!" Leng Zhengyang said with a sullen expression.

Su Qianxing's expression turned strange. He felt a drop of rain land on his head. When he raised his hand and touched it, he discovered that it was a drop of blood.

He looked up and saw that the clouds in the sky were scarlet like blood and as thick as ink. It was a boundless sea of blood spreading through the vast sky.

"Whoosh!"

Blood rain poured down, wetting the four's clothes. A heavy suppressive atmosphere deterred the four from remaining any longer. They quickly retreated fifty kilometers. The blood rain disappeared only when they reached the sky where Di Wuque was.

Amid the downpour of blood rain, Xiao Chen's white clothes became soaked in blood, the rain completely covering him in blood.

As he looked at the heavy and thick blood clouds in the sky, he became slightly distracted, somewhat confused.

"Is this my Great Tribulation of wind and fire?"

The instant Di Wuque's nine-colored Emperor's Road landed, Xiao Chen felt that something was wrong. Indeed, that was the case. The energy that he suppressed completely burst forth. His Great Tribulation of wind and fire that might descend at any time got triggered by Di Wuque's nine-colored Emperor's Road.

However, Xiao Chen had not expected that the mysterious phenomenon of his Great Tribulation of wind and fire would have blood clouds covering the sky for five hundred thousand kilometers.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Ying Zongtian, the Spirit Fox King, the Sovereign Martial Emperors, and the rest of their group were all lured over by this scene. They gazed into the distance, not understanding what was happening. Such a mysterious phenomenon was unheard-of and unprecedented.

Since ancient times, in all the ancient records, there never had been a mention of a person causing five hundred thousand kilometers of scarlet clouds when they underwent their tribulation.

On the other side, this mysterious phenomenon also startled the three Primes of the Deity Dao Union into restlessness. From a far distance, they rushed over, bringing all the Deity Dao Union's factions.

Firstly, the Deity Dao Union's Primes were afraid of Ying Zongtian's group interfering with the Divine Son's tribulation. Secondly, they came to see the commotion happening above Xiao Chen's head.

Instantly, all the Sovereign Martial Emperors of the entire Deity Dao Union and hidden experts moved to stand behind Di Wuque, forming a sea of people even stronger than the ocean.

When Ying Zongtian's side saw this, they were startled. Unexpectedly, the Deity Dao Union still had so much strength hidden.

"Spirit Fox King, you are very knowledgeable. What's going on with Xiao Chen?"

Ying Zongtian also did not know what was going on with this situation. He could only helplessly ask the Spirit Fox King, who was beside him.

The Spirit Fox King was a Prime of the Fiend Race. He advanced to Prime at least one thousand years before Ying Zongtian did, so he definitely knew much more than Ying Zongtian did.

Who could have imagined that the Spirit Fox King would shake his head? "I have never seen or heard of this before. I did not know that when one underwent the tribulation, there could be such a level of mysterious phenomenon. In ancient books that recorded such matters, the nine-colored Emperor's Road was already the highest level."

Ying Zongtian felt some worry. He said sullenly, "There is no need to care so much for now. Focus everything on defending. We have to protect Xiao Chen and absolutely not let the Deity Dao Union's people interfere with Xiao Chen's tribulation."

At this moment, half the sky that spanned over hundreds of thousands of kilometers above Meteor Trail City was filled with nine-colored light and rainbow clouds; the other half was covered in scarlet clouds as thick as ink and poured down rain.

The three Primes on the Deity Dao Union's side were speechless when they saw the blood clouds over Xiao Chen's head.

Naturally, Di Wuque also saw the mysterious phenomenon that Xiao Chen created. The two stood across each other, separated by five hundred thousand kilometers.

However, Di Wuque did not have that much time to think, as he had to climb his own Emperor's Road.

While everyone's attention was attracted to Xiao Chen's mysterious phenomenon, Di Wuque's long hair fluttered as he roared and took the first step on the colorful Emperor's Road, beginning his climb.

Di Wuque had just stepped onto his Emperor's Road when countless strong gusts of wind turned into many ice-cold whips. Then, they quickly lashed at him. Everywhere the whips passed, they directly froze space.

After this step, when Du Wuque reappeared, he had ten wounds on his body.

The wound on his face looked exceptionally striking. Cold energy lingered there, and there was a purple tinge to the blood. It was so painful that his lips twitched continuously.

Such a scene caused the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign and the other two Primes to inhale sharply. The difficulty of a nine-colored Emperor's Road was even worse than they imagined. This was only the first step, and Di Wuque was already so badly injured.

How was Di Wuque going to keep walking those eight-thousand-odd more steps?!

"Brother Qitian, this is not the time to worry about this. Look, that brat's Emperor's Door is also going to descend," the East Mountain Ghost Monarch said as he pointed into the distance.

When the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign looked over, he saw a whirlpool appear in the five hundred thousand kilometers of blood clouds. It looks like the Emperor's Door would be coming out from the end of the whirlpool.

"We absolutely cannot let him clear his Great Tribulation of wind and fire. Such a mysterious phenomenon is completely unheard-of. If he really clears it, no one will be able to stop him."

The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign enunciated every word as he spoke, giving off a boundless murderous intent.

The three Holy Masters, the East Mountain Ghost Monarch, and the Heaven Punishing Corpse God all felt this intense murderous intent.

"We must kill him!"

"If he really clears it, he will definitely become a second Azure Emperor."

"Even if we use up all our resources, we have to bury him on the Emperor's Road!"

Very quickly, the entire upper echelon of the Deity Dao Union came to an agreement. They absolutely could not let Xiao Chen succeed in his tribulation.

Amid the blood rain, Xiao Chen entered deep thought as he looked at the scarlet whirlpool descending from the sky.

He stretched out his hand, and a jade strip appeared in his palm. This jade strip was for calling the various Holy Masters of the Heavenly Starry Ocean over for reinforcement. Originally, he had planned to use it for the Supreme Sky Sect.

Unexpectedly, he ended up using it for himself.

"That's fine. Let me see what my Emperor's Road is going to be like," Xiao Chen said coldly as he shattered the jade strip in his hand. The many Martial Emperors in the distant Heavenly Starry Ocean all received the notice.

"Boom!"

The instant Xiao Chen shattered the jade strip, the Emperor's Door slowly descended from the whirlpool.

A large amount of blood leaked out from the seams of the plain and simple Emperor's Door.

After a while, scarlet steps appeared in front of the door. Then, it extended down until it arrived at Xiao Chen's feet for a total of ten thousand steps.

Xiao Chen looked up. What lay before him was clearly a path of blood.
