Immortal and Martial Dual Cultivation
chapter-1042

A horrifying force surged out. Xiao Chen’s body was like a mountain, not moving at all. He used only one finger to force back his enemy.

The cultivators in the distance all sighed.

The Silver Shark Swordsman’s sword strike already looked frighteningly strong. However, Xiao Chen calmly stretched out a finger and repulsed his opponent.

The Silver Shark Swordsman took ten steps back in the air. He was somewhat shocked to discover that even amplified five times, his Law Energy was still inferior to his opponent’s. How pure is this Wen Ziran’s Law Energy?

In reality, such an effect was due to the assistance of Xiao Chen’s Great Perfection saber soul, aside from his transformed Heavenly Sage Laws. The Silver Shark Swordsman’s Small Perfection sword soul was inadequate before Xiao Chen.

Otherwise, with Xiao Chen’s current cultivation, he would definitely not be able to injure his opponent.

In the eyes of the Cloud Sea Domain’s cultivators, these loose cultivators were extremely strong, far stronger than a regular great grandmaster-level Martial Sage.

However, along the way, Xiao Chen had seen all sorts of great grandmaster-level Martial Sages and killed many; he even fought with quasi-Emperors. Among the group before him, only the old man that had not made a move yet inspired some apprehension. The rest were not a concern.

This scene shocked not only the Silver Shark Swordsman but also three of the other loose cultivators. Consternation flashed in their eyes. They had been planning to charge over ferociously and work together. However, they now hesitated.

Xiao Chen smiled faintly. These loose cultivators actually dared to hesitate before a huge battle. No wonder they could only remain in this small place and show off their might, gaining some infamy.

“If you are not coming, I will go ahead!”

Xiao Chen’s figure flashed. Instead of retreating from these four loose cultivators, the Old Fish Devil, Iron Sword Maniac, Silver Shark Swordsman, and Madame Flower, he turned into a saber light and charged towards the weakest one—Madame Flower.

Madame Flower revealed an expression of shock. She hurriedly spat out a poisonous red mist. Xiao Chen smiled faintly and opened his mouth. Then, he sucked in all the poisonous mist and swallowed it.

After consuming the one hundred drops of Dragon Marrow, Xiao Chen’s physical body was already at peak Rank 4 Sage Body. A corrosive, poisonous mist of this level would not harm him.

Madame Flower stared at him in disbelief, somewhat stunned. Her poisonous mist that could reduce people to red bones was actually not effective at all.

While she was distracted by his mysterious skill, Xiao Chen punched her mercilessly with utter disregard for her gender. She vomited blood, sustaining severe injuries.

“Attack together!”

The Iron Sword Maniac was the first to react. He chopped down with the broadsword in his hand. The strong, explosive power made the sword look very horrifying.

Xiao Chen frowned slightly and did not clash head-on. A light flashed in his eyes, and he instantly found the weak point in this move. He turned around and materialized his Flawless saber Dao to its limits. Saber images manifested as far as the eye could see, ringing out with a melodious sound as he chopped with his saber.

The Iron Sword Maniac’s sword trembled, and its berserk force instantly dissipated.

The Old Fishing Devil charged forward while holding his fishing pole. The Silver Shark Swordsman charged forward once again with his teeth clenched.

Madame Flower moved gracefully, flying up and down as she launched attacks at Xiao Chen one after another.

The four worked together to besiege Xiao Chen. However, they did not feel relaxed at all. Saber hums filled the air, ringing out continuously like the most beautiful zither sound in the world.

The surrounded Xiao Chen used his body as a saber, breaking the moves as they approached, suppressing the four instead.

He did not feel like tangling with these people any further. His eyes turned cold, and a bright full moon rose from behind him. The moon was like fire, burning endlessly.

Joy and sorrow, passion and hot-bloodedness. All these are contained within my palm. Thousand Year Flame, never going out and inextinguishable. Only I remain undefeated!

Suddenly, the aura of Xiao Chen, who currently held the advantage, surged and flourished greatly. The bright full moon hung high in the sky, giving off a fiery light.

The bright moon in the horizon seemed to contain the long river of time. Various Xiao Chens leaped out from it, one after another, looking sad, dissolute, or indifferent.

As for the Xiao Chen below the moon, he threw a palm strike.

The four loose cultivators all felt an unparalleled palm strike, and their internal organs instantly ruptured. They vomited mouthfuls of blood and went flying back for five kilometers before crashing into the water and fainting.

What kind of palm strike was this, with joy and sorrow together, containing passion and hot-bloodedness? It was as spirited as strong wine, like a flame with inextinguishable hot-bloodedness.

With this one palm strike, four of the Cloud Sea Domain’s great loose cultivators got knocked far away, their fate unknown. What person of the younger generation was this excellent?

Who exactly was Wen Ziran? With his shocking strength, his name should have already spread throughout the Heavenly Starry Ocean. Why had no one ever heard of his name before?

Such a mysterious person. An unresolvable enigma appeared in the hearts of every cultivator who saw this scene: Who—Exactly—Is—This—Person?

Some of the cultivators who were more knowledgeable had heard of the Flawless saber Dao before. They made some guesses, but that person they thought of had already reached great grandmaster-level Martial Sage, which did not match this Wen Ziran before them.

Xuanyuan Zhantian, who already had retreated far away, felt depressed and revealed a bitter smile. There are indeed some people that cannot be used as goals to catch up to. Otherwise, one would forever be in their shadows.

Of the six great loose cultivators, Xuanyuan Zhantian had left, and four fainted. Now, only Gao Yangyu, who had not made a move yet, remained.

After seeing Xiao Chen’s enormous strength, everyone around expected that the divine bow would fall in his hands if nothing unexpected happened.

“You are already so ridiculously strong at such a young age. If not for this treasure mountain, I would not have this opportunity to meet you. You really do still stand a small chance against me.”

Contrary to everyone’s expectations, Gao Yangyu did not feel any worry over the strong Xiao Chen. He looked confident as if everything was already in the bag.

“Why, you do not believe me?”

Gao Yangyu smiled faintly and stopped hiding his strength. Then, he gently stepped forward in the air.

With this one step, the situation changed. Winds blew, and clouds shifted for five kilometers around. Grand scenes appeared. By raising his foot, he stirred up winds and clouds—the mark of a quasi-Emperor.

Instantly, a horrifying aura that seemed capable of toppling mountains and flipping seas spread out from his body, putting suffocating pressure on everyone.

“Quasi-Emperor!”

“Gao Yangyu suddenly broke through to quasi-Emperor! Wen Ziran is finished this time. Gao Yangyu actually found a ten-thousand-year-old Spirit Herb in the treasure mountain and broke through the bottleneck of a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage, becoming a major character of great influence.”

“No wonder he is so confident. He actually already advanced to quasi-Emperor. Even as a new quasi-Emperor, such strength will be more than enough to suppress Wen Ziran.”

“The gap in cultivation is too great. If Wen Ziran were a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage, perhaps he might stand some chance. Now, he has no chance at all.”

The situation suddenly changed. Gao Yangyu, who had not made a move, was surprisingly a quasi-Emperor. From now on, there would be one more major character in the Cloud Sea Domain.

If Gao Yangyu obtained the divine bow, in a few years, he might truly be able to rule the entire Cloud Sea Domain.

It was somewhat unfortunate that this fellow could take advantage of this. The eight City Lords definitely had not expected that the treasure mountain really contained the Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow.

On the surface of the sea, Mo Chen, who had been entirely confident in Xiao Chen, could not help but reveal a heavy expression of worry.

Why am I not stronger? If I was stronger, I would be able to help him.

Xiao Chen felt enlightened. He finally realized why Xuanyuan Zhantian warned him to be careful of this person. Gao Yangyu was a newly advanced quasi-Emperor, an expert who could stir up the winds and clouds.

Gao Yangyu could tell that Xiao Chen possessed an extraordinary background. He said calmly, “You don’t belong to the Cloud Sea Domain. Hand over the Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow, and I will not make things difficult for you.”

A newly advanced quasi-Emperor actually dared to say such bold words before Xiao Chen; he was really being too presumptuous.

After this matter, Xiao Chen’s identity would be completely exposed. He would no longer be able to remain in the Cloud Sea Domain.

Xiao Chen glanced at the distant Mo Chen and sighed to himself, Let’s meet again if it is fated.

Then, he looked back, his expression already cold. He said in a frosty voice, “I really want to know, how are you going to make things difficult for me? What are you going to rely on? On your smattering quasi-Emperor cultivation?”

Xiao Chen shouted, and with a flip of his hand, the many Peak Spirit Veins in his Universe Ring turned into dragons and flew out. As they circled him in the sky, crystalline spiritual rain fell.

“Plunk! Plunk! Plunk!” As the spiritual rain struck the water, they gave off tinkling sounds.

“Those are Peak Spirit Veins!” someone exclaimed. They felt it was strange. How could Wen Ziran have so many Peak Spirit Veins?”

Xiao Chen took out a total of ten Peak Spirit Veins, then opened his mouth and consumed them all.

Suddenly, the spiritual rain vanished, and Xiao Chen gave off a dazzling and piercing light akin to that of the blazing sun. The light and heat that came from his body directly vaporized the seawater below.

Steam rose up from the water, rendering the scene misty. The spectators could not see what was happening inside. They only felt a horrifying energy fluctuation.

Gao Yangyu’s face sank. His eyelids suddenly started twitching for no reason—a bad portent.

Feeling very anxious, he wanted to make a move. However, he could not see clearly through the steam, so he did not dare to act rashly.

This situation did not continue for long. As endless undulating dragon roars resounded, the steam suddenly disappeared.

Everyone saw ten thousand fierce-looking dragons flying behind Xiao Chen. The ferocious dragon roars sent huge waves surging continuously.

Standing among the dragons, Xiao Chen had changed his attire. Now, the blue Sea Monarch Headscarf appeared on his head, and he was obviously wearing the Clear Wind Robes, which had merged with the Azure Dragon King’s insignia and now equaled a peak King Grade Secret Treasure.

At this moment, the Azure Dragon King returned to the peak. After getting broken and recovering, he improved further!

Ten thousand dragons soaring, what kind of a grand scene was this? The cultivators of the Cloud Sea Domain all gaped. When they saw this scene that they had never seen before, their minds froze temporarily.

Shock. A shock that came from the depths of their hearts reverberated in their minds, lingering for a long time.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Dragon-shaped Heavenly Sage Laws entered Xiao Chen’s body. With each Heavenly Sage Law that entered, he felt the energy in his body increase significantly.

When all ten thousand Heavenly Sage Laws had entered his body, he experienced a strength that he never felt before. By raising his hand, he could split mountains and boulders.

Xiao Chen’s Law Energy surged endlessly. Several killing moves that he could only execute once or twice in the past were now freely at his disposal without him needing to worry about his Law Energy getting drained.

A vague image appeared in his mind. He saw a chasm, a huge chasm. Once he crossed over to the other side, he could climb onto the Great Dao and knock on the Emperor’s Door.

Xiao Chen finally saw this huge chasm for himself, the chasm between a great grandmaster-level Martial Sage and a Martial Emperor that Elder Qin had spoken about. It turned out that the scene across the other side was this glorious.

Now that he returned to the peak, quasi-Emperor was within reach. He could start constructing the bridge at any moment.
