Novel Full Chapter 1422
Chapter 1422 (Missing Raws Between Raw 1412 and 1413):
Now, Xiao Chen was fleeing. He fled in haste in a sorry state. However, he felt somewhat proud in his heart.
In this world, of the many outstanding talents, who could manage to escape from the careful schemes of three Eighth Heaven Martial Emperors?
However, after thinking for a while, he felt like he was deceiving himself somewhat. After all, fleeing was not something glorious.
The arm that Xiao Chen placed on the black dragon armrest turned stiff and cold. The surface had already frozen over with ice and stuck his arm to the armrest.
A cold Qi spread from within Xiao Chen's body, chilling even the throne. There were signs of him freezing.
"Crack! Crack!"
Xiao Chen raised his arm with much difficulty. Then he clenched his fist forcefully, shattering the ice. Under the mask, his face turned somewhat depressed. The Ice Dao of the white-clad Snow Demon surpassed his expectations.
When the cold Qi entered Xiao Chen's body, it did not injure his meridians, blood, bones, or marrows. Instead, it went to his heart. Not the heart that was an internal organ but the even-more-important Heart of an Emperor—the Heart of an Emperor that was tied to his life and death.
Heavy snow fell in that Heart of an Emperor. All the Primordial Energy was blanketed with a thick layer of snow. He could barely move even a little Primordial Energy, much less circulate it.
Even the purple Emperor's Door was covered in heavy snow. Since the heart was cold, how could the body be warm?
The white-clad Snow Demon was right. Xiao Chen did not cultivate the Fire Dao and did not have any good method to dispel this ice.
Previously, the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame was unusually effective against this strange cold Qi. Unfortunately, Xiao Chen had used it to break the white-clad Snow Demon's Ice Domain, and then to deal with his Icy Demon Flame. Right now, the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame was extremely weak.
It would take the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame some time to recover enough to drive out this cold Qi.
Xiao Chen already tried using the Solar True Flame and Lunar True Flame. However, the results were disappointing. Apparently, only ice-attributed flames could drive out such cold Qi. Otherwise, it would just melt at an extremely slow rate.
"Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Fwoosh!"
The frost recurred, spreading to the palm at a visible pace.
If Xiao Chen could not get rid of the cold Qi in his Heart of an Emperor, using brute force to scatter the ice was only treating the symptoms and not the root of the problem.
The situation was even viler than he expected.
"This is problematic," Xiao Chen muttered after he wrung his hand and shattered the ice again.
At this rate, he would slow down, and the Demon chasing in his direction would catch up sooner or later.
"Rumble." Suddenly, the ground shook violently. It was as if a mountain had turned into a giant and was walking on the ground, shaking even the sky.
"Whoosh!" Xiao Chen turned around and stared into the distance. Then, he frowned.
The one coming was the Iron Demon, that Eighth Heaven Martial Emperor lummox. If not for that punch of his when he dropped from the sky, Xiao Chen would not have a crack in his Heart of an Emperor. Then, the white-clad Snow Demon's cold Qi would not have been able to enter Xiao Chen's body.
That punch was deeply memorable!
As the Iron Demon rose from and fell to the ground, he moved tens of kilometers with each leap. "Boom!" He landed in front of Xiao Chen, and the ground immediately shattered into sand. Then, the sand surged over like many layers of waves.
Such a physical body was ridiculous. Even without meaning to, it could cause such horrible destruction.
However, it was still fine. Heaven was fair. Since it gave someone such an excellent physical body talent, it would take something away as well. What it took was the Iron Demon's comprehension ability and intelligence. Even an adult Iron Demon would only have intelligence just slightly better than ordinary little children's.
"Shadowless Saber Sovereign, I found you. Eat my fist!" the tall and burly Iron Demon said excitedly, his eyes lighting up.
The Iron Demon did not think much. He simply threw a punch after jumping up, sending it at Xiao Chen. In Xiao Chen's current situation, how could Xiao Chen afford to take a punch from him? Xiao Chen's body might shatter into pieces.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The throne flickered continuously. The Iron Demon continued chasing after Xiao Chen to many loud sounds. He simply was a demon king of destruction. Mountains, hills, forests, rivers all turned into rubble from his attacks.
As Xiao Chen coped with the Iron Demon, he tried to conserve his energy and think of a way to trap the other party.
The storm in Xiao Chen's Heart of an Emperor grew increasingly violent. The cold Qi in Xiao Chen's body kept strengthening as well. In a while more, even if the Iron Demon did not defeat him, Xiao Chen would be pushed into a dead-end by the cold Qi and freeze into a block of ice.
The Iron Demon became so tired that he started panting nonstop. He used his full power in every punch, not holding back at all. While his punches hurt, he also tired himself out. This was the way Iron Demons fought.
Xiao Chen had been thinking about when to make his move. However, he rejected the few opportunities that appeared.
He would have only one chance to attack. If he failed, his end awaited him.
Suddenly, Xiao Chen saw a lake with a scary aura moving about in its depths. Upon thinking about it, he realized this should be a forbidden land.
If he could trick the Iron Demon into entering and fighting with the ferocious beast in the lake, he would be able to free himself from the Demon's pursuit.
However, although Iron Demons were stupid, they still could make out some traps in a battle.
That was settled, then; indecision invariably led to trouble.
Xiao Chen thought of a dangerous move. After thinking for a while, he made his decision. He seemed to slow down somewhat, and the Iron Demon rejoiced, punching at the throne again.
"Pu ci!" Xiao Chen immediately vomited a mouthful of blood. He deliberately let the other party strike him and had already raised his defense.
However, it was still almost unbearable for Xiao Chen. The snow that he suppressed in his Heart of an Emperor immediately gained even more ferocity; there were signs of it spewing out at any moment.
The punch sent the throne flying towards the lake. It looked like the throne would sink into the water.
"I caught you!"
The Iron Demon smiled and charged forward at lightning speed, moving faster than Xiao Chen. Then, he prepared to throw another punch to end Xiao Chen.
In the time it took for a spark to fly, the Iron Demon's fist looked like it would land on Xiao Chen's body.
Xiao Chen, who originally looked listless and weak, suddenly turned nimble. The throne carrying him dodged nimbly, evading this lethal punch.
"Go down!"
Before the Iron Demon could react, a bright light flashed in the eyes of Xiao Chen, who had been on the defensive. Then, the seven Divine Weapons behind the throne soared into the air.
The seven Divine Weapons turned into a rainbow of light, filling the sky with starlight. Boundless saber intent buzzed and flooded the surroundings.
The seven Divine Weapons stabbed the Iron Demon, who had been charging at the lake, at the same time and sent him on his way.
Like an arrow released from a bow, the Iron Demon's body instantly shot to the bottom of the lake.
The lake water billowed, a pillar of water surging into the sky.
The Divine Weapons returned to their sheaths. Then, without looking at all, Xiao Chen controlled the throne and turned into a beam of black iridescent light and quickly fled into the distance.
At the bottom of the lake, the Iron Demon still felt dizzy. When he opened his mouth, he gulped in water.
This made the Iron Demon suffer and punch at the bottom of the lake. However, the bottom of this lake was different from the ones he had experienced. Although it still shook endlessly, the water did not shoot up like before. The ground did not crumble, either.
Instead, a three-headed black snake swam out and glared at him with hostile scarlet eyes.
Xiao Chen, who had gotten far away, heard the roars of a beast and the startlingly loud clamor of combat. Then, he completely relaxed. He knew that he was finally safe.
However, he did not know that his actions would end up creating an opportunity for this Iron Demon, producing a strong enemy for himself in the future.
Without saying anything, Xiao Chen flew frantically for half a day before the cold Qi in his body broke free of his restraints.
His lower body was already frozen; he could not move it at all. The cold Qi in the Heart of an Emperor burst out and raged through his body. Everywhere it passed, all his internal organs, blood, bones, and marrow instantly froze.
"Bang!"
Xiao Chen lost control of the throne, and it fell from the sky and landed with a dull 'thud.'
The cold Qi was like a ferocious beast, continuously swallowing his body and turning every bit of it into ice. Xiao Chen did not panic, having already escaped from danger. His situation was just somewhat problematic now.
He was far safer than when he was surrounded by three Sovereign Martial Emperors. He calmed his heart and opened his right hand unhurriedly.
A weak flame rose up from his palm—the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame.
Xiao Chen opened his mouth and sucked the flame into his mouth. Then, it entered his abdomen, and then the Heart of an Emperor while welcoming the cold Qi.
After doing all this, Xiao Chen relaxed. His Divine Flame was somewhat weak at the moment and could not move this cold Qi for now.
However, after a period of time, after the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame recovered and eliminated the cold Qi, he could deal with everything in one go.
The raging cold Qi continued to spread without stopping. After a while, Xiao Chen's entire body was enclosed in ice. The layer of ice grew increasingly thicker. Soon, his appearance and face could no longer be seen, only a vague silhouette.
Slowly, the throne also became sealed in ice. The cold Qi infiltrated his sea of consciousness, torturing Xiao Chen's mind. Hence, he simply shut off his mind and entered a deep sleep.

Half a month later, a group of cultivators wearing the Supreme Sky Sect's uniform discovered this strange ice sculpture.
