Chapter 1360: Ghost Race Attacking

As Xiao Chen moved around Maple Leaf Lake, he practiced the Void Breaking Stance, the first move of the Flawless Saber Technique.

After a few rounds of practice, his comprehension of this move approached perfection. The various details became clear in his mind.

The initial Void Breaking Stance was just simply gathering all his energies into his Saber Domain using his Flawless Saber Dao. After that, he would ignite the three spots of Saber Energy and send out the move, achieving extremely skillful offensive strength.

Although Xiao Chen managed to break the Cloud Moon Saber due to the Cloud Moon Saber\'s suicidal attitude, the might of this saber strike still had something to do with it.

If it had been another person, even if they had the opportunity, the thing that broke would still have been the saber in their hands.

It only happened because the bladesman was Xiao Chen-the Xiao Chen who figured out his own Flawless Saber Dao. With the Void Breaking Stance, he controlled space with the saber, demonstrating tremendous power.

That first saber strike had been executed in a hurry, spontaneously. After that, no matter how Xiao Chen tried, he could not achieve the effect of the saber controlling space.

However, now, with Xiao Chen continuously perfecting it, this move\'s foundation was already formed. As long as he kept practicing it, pushing it to Consummation, he would naturally achieve the result of controlling space with the saber.

What was more important was that he had already completed this move and could begin forming and comprehending the next move.

As for the Flawless Saber Technique\'s second move, Xiao Chen already had a vague idea. The day of its formation was not far away.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Two lovely figures flew over above the calm lake. They were Mo Chen and Yue Bingyun, who had settled in, heading towards Xiao Chen.

At this moment, the sun was still setting. The two girls skimmed the water, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun. They arrived amid fiery-red maple leaves. Their exquisite figures made them appear like celestial fairies.

A smile appeared on Xiao Chen\'s face. He stopped his comprehension and stood up to welcome the two girls.

"After surveying the area, what do you think?" Mo Chen asked with a smile.

Yue Bingyun smiled faintly and said, "To think that you still can smile like that and quietly comprehend and practice. It looks like your mental state is rather stable. It is pretty good that you can still be this relaxed when a great army is approaching."

The two girls spoke in turn, saying everything that Xiao Chen wanted to say. Now, he did not know how to respond.

After a few moments of silence, Xiao Chen said, "I\'ll just do my best and adapt to the situation. Although the Deity Dao Union is strong, they are not without weaknesses. They look like they have great momentum, covering the sky and sun with their numbers, but they might just be covering the fear in their hearts. If they were prepared to pay the price, they would have launched an all-out attack long ago."

"What do you mean?"

The two girls exchanged glances, feeling that there was more to what Xiao Chen said, like he had discovered something.

That was right. After surveying the place, Xiao Chen had indeed found something. He said, "The Deity Dao Union is very strong, at least twice as strong as the Supreme Sky Sect and the Thunder and Lightning Palace combined. However, until now, they still have not launched an all-out attack. They want to take down the Supreme Sky Sect while paying the smallest price possible.

"They appear calm, but their inner thoughts are exposed. The various factions fight and scheme against each other. No one is willing to serve as the sacrifice. They fear being the one to pay the price. This is our chance. The true strength of a faction cannot be observed from the surface but from their inner brilliance."

After pausing for a moment, Xiao Chen continued, "When a person loses their brilliance, they will no longer be sharp. If a faction loses its brilliance, no matter how strong, it will just be like scattered sand."

"That seems very logical." Mo Chen said mischievously, "In that case, Big Brother Xiao Chen, have you come up with any ideas to defeat the enemy? How about you tell us about them?"

This retort stunned Xiao Chen at first. Then, he chortled, "You lass, why are you always so smart? I really can\'t bring you with me anymore in the future."

After Xiao Chen spoke, the three laughed out loud together.

While he spoke so much logical-sounding reasoning, it was actually all pointless. They could only do their best. However, that was not what was important, which was the three\'s attitude. In this storm, they were still able to laugh out loud, seeing past the mundane.

How could matters in life go as smoothly as one wanted? There would always be a way out of every situation. Adapting to the situation and doing one\'s best, preparing one\'s self, that would be enough.

Bathed in the remnant light of the setting sun, the three sat on the surface of the lake, sipping fine wine amid the drifting maple leaves and chatting casually.

"Boom!"

When the sky finally turned bright again, a loud sound suddenly came from the distance, closely followed by many explosions booming like cracks of thunder.

Xiao Chen stood up and looked into the distance. Then, he muttered to himself, "They arrived really quickly."

He felt somewhat nervous in his heart and somewhat filled with anticipation. In a while, he would personally experience this battlefield. This was a rare large-scale battle that one would be hard-pressed to find in ten thousand years.

"Big Brother Xiao Chen, is the Deity Dao Union attacking?" Mo Chen asked softly.

Xiao Chen nodded and replied, "They are here. However, this place does not seem to be their main target. Let\'s return to the island first."

"Alright!"

The three gently pushed off the water and flew to the island in the center. Many disciples had already readied themselves on the island. Clearly, this was not their first time experiencing this.

The purple-clad old man flew quickly to Xiao Chen\'s side, asking for Xiao Chen\'s instructions.

Xiao Chen said politely, "Old sir, there is no need to do this. I\'ll leave everything to you to direct. If there are any strong enemies, I will personally fight them."

Fighting was Xiao Chen\'s strength. However, when he reflected on his abilities to command an army, he felt that he was sadly lacking.

Hearing this, the purple-clad old man revealed a smile on this face. "It is great that Brother Xiao Chen is so broad-minded. In that case, this old man shall respectfully obey. Would the Azure Dragon King please remain here and hold down the fort? Just leave all the minor and major matters to this old man."

Xiao Chen nodded. This was what he wanted, so it suited his plans.

After ten breaths, a vast number of Deity Dao Union warships appeared in Xiao Chen\'s vision, covering the sky. Of which, the largest warship headed straight for the core node of the ninth layer of formations at Meteor Trail City. They showed no concern for Maple Leaf Lake at all.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, the Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons on the warships tilted down, and beams of magnificent light crisscrossed, raining down on the various nodes of the ninth layer of formations.

"Whoosh!"

Surging energy flowed out from Meteor Trail City. Closely following that, all the nodes within the ninth layer of formations activated their formation plates.

The entire ninth layer of the Worldly Mountain River Great Sun Formation formed a circle. Each node was separated from the others by at least five hundred kilometers.

However, at this moment, when the formation was activated, the nodes became tightly connected to each other. Along with the formation nodes, the tall mountains, rivers, and cities meshed together tightly.

After Meteor Trail City activated the formation, Xiao Chen sent some Law Energy into the formation plate.

"Rumble!"

Xiao Chen was not sure about the other places; however, a vague barrier appeared in the sky of Maple Leaf Lake, blocking all the shots from the Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons.

The lake water churned and sent up pillars of water into the sky.

The loud explosions echoed in the world, deafening everyone temporarily.

The sky and the ground trembled. Nowhere within these millions of kilometers remained at peace. The ground became like the sea, rising and falling in waves.

No matter where one stood, one would feel the violent shock waves.

All the Supreme Sky Sect and Thunder and Lightning Palace disciples showed nervous expressions. They gripped their weapons, waiting for the impending battle.

Xiao Chen closed his eyes. His expression did not show any changes.

After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes. Four of the Deity Dao Union\'s warships flew directly towards Maple Leaf Lake.

Many Deity Dao Union cultivators swooped down from the warships, charging towards Maple Leaf Lake.

Xiao Chen reacted quickly, sending a strand of Primordial Energy into the formation plate. Immediately, all the cultivators on the island received a boost from the formation. A sunlike glow appeared on their bodies, looking as warm as the sun.

The Deity Dao Union cultivators that landed on the lake all showed sinister airs. They possessed pale complexions, looking like the spirits of hell.

These were cultivators from the Ghost Race!

Four Ghost Race Martial Emperors stood at the bows of the four warships. They looked coldly at Maple Leaf Lake, showing awe-inspiring expressions.

"They\'re Ghost Race cultivators!"

The disciples on the island all appeared flustered. The opponents that they were the least willing to face were Ghost Race cultivators.

The means of the Ghost Race were mysterious. Aside from cultivating Death Qi, they fought using the souls of others, inspiring great fear.

The purple-clad old man at the island appeared shocked as well. "Why are the Ghost Race cultivators not attacking Meteor Trail City but coming to attack Maple Leaf Lake?"
