Chapter 912: Major Characters Making a Move

This fleeing Lang Taotian shattered a jade pendant earlier. He probably did that to inform the big shots behind him. As long as he fled the Sea Monarch Palace, someone powerful would definitely come to fetch him.

Xiao Chen set out at lightning speed in pursuit. The fleeing Lang Taotian had already thrown caution to the wind, drawing on his cultivation and damaging to it for the sake of raising his speed. As a result, Xiao Chen, who was executing Thunder Dragon Steps at full power, failed to catch him.

Above Ten Thousand Flowers Garden, Lang Taotian saw that the exit was drawing near and lit up with an irrepressible expression of joy. However, when he heard the rumbling thunder coming from behind, he did not dare to relax in the slightest.

Lang Taotian’s figure flashed, and he stepped across the exit of the Sea Monarch Palace, shouting, “I’m out!”

Xiao Chen quickly followed after. When he looked up, an incredible scene appeared in his vision, shocking him to the depths of his heart.

The formerly dark sky scene above the Sea Monarch Palace had already vanished. What he saw was not dark seawater but the sky.

That was right—an extremely vast sky. From this ocean bottom ten kilometers below sea level, he actually saw open air.

This was extravagant. With the flip of a hand, the waters of the sea had disappeared. Aside from Martial Emperors, no one else could do this.

“The big shots finally made their move!”

Xiao Chen smiled bitterly. If not for his Purple Thunder True Fire helping the Merfolk Race get rid of the evil Demon’s main body from the Sea Monarch Palace, these big shots would never have made a move.

No one dared to refine a Sea Monarch Palace that still had the evil Demon’s main body in it.

In contrast to Xiao Chen’s shock, Lang Taotian became wildly excited, leaping towards the sky and flying up.

Xiao Chen’s eyes turned cold, and the Soul Slayer Bow appeared in his palm. He nocked a Star Breaker Arrow and drew back the bowstring. He burned his Vital Qi and unleashed half a Dragon Force—two thousand five hundred tons’ worth of force.

The Soul Slayer Bow creaked as he drew it. Then, dragon roars resounded in the surroundings as images of True Dragons appeared behind him.

The stronger the force, the greater the might. With two thousand and five hundred tons of force—furthermore, there was the Star Breaker Arrow that could penetrate through all defenses—the might of this arrow reached a level that even Xiao Chen could not believe.

He had only three Star Breaker Arrows. Previously, he had not intended to use it on such a minor character as Lang Taotian. However, the situation did not leave him much choice.

Soon, a Martial Emperor would arrive to help. Even if Xiao Chen did not want to use it, he had to. Lang Taotian had to die today, regardless of his Martial Emperor protector.

Sand and stone flew around as a strong wind kicked up. The dragon roars resounded endlessly. Xiao Chen’s aura soared continuously, so much that Lang Taotian felt like escape was impossible, losing all hope of living.

“Sect Master, save me!” Lang Taotian cried out loudly.

Right after Lang Taotian spoke, the Star Breaker Arrow flashed. It sounded like a star exploded, and the entire space shook violently. The seawater in the vicinity surged up in towering waves that rushed to the clouds.

A screen of water descended from the sky, shielding Lang Taotian, trying to help him block this arrow.

However, it was useless. The Star Breaker Arrow surpassed all the defensive Secret Treasures and Martial Techniques in the world. When fired from the Soul Slayer Bow, it unleashed its full might.

“Pu ci!” The Star Breaker Arrow pierced Lang Taotian right between the eyebrows, leaving a bloody hole and the instantly dead Lang Taotian.

“You are seeking death. You actually dare to kill my Profound Water Sect’s man in front of me!”

A furious voice resounded in the sky. Even from ten kilometers away, this voice shook Xiao Chen’s internal organs.

The person who spoke was the Profound Water Sect’s Sect Master, Luo Chuan. Lang Taotian was the top true inheritor of the Profound Water Sect. Within the Profound Water Sect, only a few of his personal disciples could defeat him.

When Luo Chuan saw Xiao Chen killing Lang Taotian in front of him, how could he not be angry? He was the Sect Master of the Profound Water Sect, an absolute expert, a Martial Emperor.

Killing someone from Luo Chuan’s sect in his presence was equal to slapping his face. A Medial Grade Martial Sage dared to slap his face like that, how could the Profound Water Sect’s Sect Master bear it?

“Die!”

The moment Luo Chuan said the word “die,” a boundless pressure spread out in the air and bore down heavily on Xiao Chen’s shoulders as if it was trying to force him to his knees.

A light flashed on Xiao Chen’s forehead. The azure trident that represented the will of ruin appeared in his grip. Then, he stabbed the trident into the ground and held it with both hands, preventing himself from kneeling.

At the same time, an aura of ruin spread out from the azure trident, undermining the other party’s aura. Only then did Xiao Chen feel better.

Just as Luo Chuan prepared to take action, a few figures flew out from the Sea Monarch Palace in sorry states. After that, the Sea Monarch Palace gave off a bright light and flew ten kilometers in the blink of an eye.

“That girl is starting to refine it already. Take action now!”

A few people cried out, and Luo Chuan snorted coldly before ignoring Xiao Chen and giving chase as well. He did not forget his purpose in coming here, nor would he abandon it to deal with Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief to himself. If Luo Chuan really wanted to take action, then Xiao Chen could only use the Supreme Sky Emperor’s will clone.

The Supreme Sky Emperor’s will clone would not be a match for Luo Chuan’s true body. Nevertheless, it should be enough to block Luo Chuan and create an opportunity for Xiao Chen to escape.

However, it was Xiao Chen’s greatest insurance. After he used it, it would be gone. He was still far from advancing to Martial Emperor. He had best avoid using it if he could.

“Brother Xiao! You are not dead!”

A shocked voice came from behind Xiao Chen. He looked over his shoulder and saw Long Fei and Qi Wuxue slowly heading to him in tattered clothes, reduced to sorry states.

In the distance, the Northern Sea Alliance’s Yan Chihai and the couple from Spirit Returning Island were also similarly injured but appeared to be worse off than the two.

Xiao Chen smiled and asked, “What’s wrong, Brother Qi? Are you very disappointed at seeing me alive?”

“Disappointed my ass! You got us in trouble. That witch inside thought that you were dead and nearly beat us to death. If we had not run fast, I’m not sure we would still be alive.”

Qi Wuxue vomited a mouthful of congealed blood as he continued cursing.

Witch? Xiao Chen could not help feeling somewhat confused. Could he be referring to Princess Yao Yan?

Long Fei fanned himself with a tattered folding fan and sighed, “Brother Xiao, you truly made a wrong judgment this time. The Sea Monarch’s treasures—the Divine Rain Robes, Sea Monarch Scepter, Sea Monarch Crown, and Pursuing Wave Boots—all fell into the hands of that Princess Yao Yan.

“The story of how the nine Merfolk Race Martial Emperors died was false. They died on purpose so that this Yao Yan can become the new Sea Monarch.”

Qi Wuxue still had lingering fears in his heart. He said, “This witch really hid herself well. Even without those Emperor Grade Secret Treasures, the two of us working together could not handle her.”

Indeed, everything was as Xiao Chen guessed.

However, as far as he was concerned, this was of no importance. He was here only to kill the evil Demon, to end what the Azure Emperor started.

At this moment, the remaining matter no longer had anything to do with him. This was something for these major characters to deal with.

“Speaking of which, Xiao Chen, why are you not surprised at all?” Seeing Xiao Chen’s calm appearance, Qi Wuxue felt very depressed.

Why shouldn’t Xiao Chen be calm?

From the very start, he had not had any aspirations towards the Sea Monarch Palace. He had a very objective view of his strength.

Before Xiao Chen advanced to Martial Emperor, he would not be able to participate in games of this level, unless he also had nine Martial Emperors willing to die in order to pave the way for him.

Furthermore, he already gained a lot on this trip. He had ended what the Azure Emperor started ten thousand years ago, gotten closer to revealing the secrets of the Azure Emperor Drawing the Saber painting, and obtained enough Heavenly Soul Pearls to advance his Magic Energy to another level.

The two Magic Treasures, the Greenwood Banner and the Five Element Medallion, could directly increase his combat prowess. What was there for him to dislike?

Should he overestimate his own strength and try to refine the Sea Monarch Palace before he could be considered to have had a harvest?

Xiao Chen steered away from this topic and asked, “What do you two plan to do after this? Where are you going for experiential training?”

Long Fei smiled and said, “Brother Xiao’s attitude is really admirable. Wuxue and I are planning to head directly to the Heavenly Starry Ocean. That is a vast place with many outstanding talents. There are all sorts of Remnants at the bottom of this ocean. We will definitely gain great profits there.”

After crossing the Chaotic Demonic Sea, one would arrive at the Heavenly Starry Ocean, which was not inferior to the Kunlun Continent at all, equally interesting and exciting.

“We will probably not be able to make it to Brother Xiao’s King conferring ceremony. However, we will be sure to send a congratulatory gift,” Qi Wuxue said calmly. However, based on his expression, he was still angry at Princess Yao Yan’s final move and feeling very depressed.

“Thank you. We will meet again in the future.”

“Brother Xiao, what’s wrong? Don’t you want to see who will end up possessing the Sea Monarch Palace?”

As the few of them chatted, they flew upwards. All the water in the area was gone; a formless barrier around the place prevented the water from returning.

Without the obstruction of the seawater, the three traveled extremely fast. Soon, they arrived at the surface.

The waves outside the barrier roared and rumbled loudly. Five hundred kilometers away, there was a girl wearing flowing blue Divine Rain Robes, holding the golden Sea Monarch Scepter carved with nine azure flood dragons. She wore the Pursuing Wave Boots that parted the wind and walked on water. Above the Thorn Sovereign Circlet on her head was the Sea Monarch Crown, which gave off a bright light.

Unexpectedly, Yao Yan brought out the full might of the Emperor Grade Secret Treasures. By relying on the four treasures of the Sea Monarch, she was not at a disadvantage when fighting against several Martial Emperors.

There was a sky-blue mark the same color as the Sea Monarch Palace on Yao Yan’s forehead. She was probably refining the Sea Monarch Palace as she fought.

However, that was not right. Yao Yan had already refined the Sea Monarch Palace, and it was providing her with endless energy. Otherwise, these Emperor Grade Secret Treasures would have torn her body apart long ago.

Xiao Chen’s expression changed. This was an excellent plan. The Merfolk Race really spent a lot on this. Nine Martial Emperors used their lives to create a bright prospect for Yao Yan’s future.

“Bang!”

The nine azure flood dragons on the Sea Monarch Scepter roared ferociously and flew out of the wand, shattering the move of the Profound Water Sect’s Sect Master. Then, Yao Yan swung the scepter and knocked away the Emperor Grade Secret Treasure in Luo Chuan’s hand, sending it flying.

Drops of golden rain fell from the Divine Rain Robes, turning into a gentle screen of water blocking the attacks of the other Martial Emperors.
