Chapter 1516 (Raw 1497, Raw 1496 Nonexistent): Demonic Calamity Arrives
It’s not over yet!
The duration of the Major Magic Skill Dharmic World was now seven seconds from the original three seconds.
Seven seconds was sufficient for Xiao Chen to do many things.
After kicking away the other Immortal statue, Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes and stared at the Immortal statue with the broken arm.
While you are down, I’ll finish you off!
After executing so many killing moves, if he still could not kill an Immortal statue, then he would lose out.
Xiao Chen merged the Seven Deadly Sins into one, then executed the Flawless Saber Technique.
“Flawless Saber Technique, Void Breaking Stance!”
He used the Void Breaking Stance while in his Dharmic Incarnation, multiplying its might by severalfold and allowing his Taiji Saber Domain to extend to ten kilometers from the original one kilometer.
This increased the amount of energy that Xiao Chen could absorb by ten times.
When Xiao Chen executed the Void Breaking Stance, the resplendent light lit up tens of thousands of kilometers of pitch-dark space like it was day. The flashing saber light was ten kilometers long, connecting the sky to the ground.
“Dang!”
A huge crack appeared in the Immortal statue’s body. Countless rocks fell as if a small mountain was crumbling.
Xiao Chen then used the Dragon Subduing Slash, the second move of the Flawless Saber Technique. Wielding the might of True Dragons, standing on one thousand True Dragon images, he landed a saber strike. The one thousand dragon images gathered into a dragon pillar.
The Immortal statue retreated again, and another wound appeared on its chest. Xiao Chen quickly and ruthlessly followed up with yet another killing move, not giving the Immortal statue with a broken arm an opening.
Xiao Chen’s figure flashed. While still in his Dharmic Incarnation, he leaped into the clouds, soaring into the air. Then, he executed the Falling Moon Stance, the Flawless Saber Technique’s third move.
He chopped off the Immortal statue’s other arm, which fell off like it was a falling moon.
When the seven seconds were up, Xiao Chen returned to his true form. The other Immortal statue charged over.
Too noisy!
The harassment of the two Immortal statues was extremely frustrating. So, Xiao Chen turned around and executed the mightiest move of the Flawless Saber Technique, the Heartbreaking Stance. He immediately felt pain in his chest.
Heartbreaking, breaking one’s heart first before breaking the enemies. The pain brought out the potential of the entire body, dealing great damage to one’s self but even more to the enemy.
As Xiao Chen hacked out with his saber, the Immortal statue with arms remaining used them to block. “Crack!” A huge hole suddenly appeared in the chest of that Immortal statue.
Xiao Chen suddenly thought, Although this Immortal statue is incredibly enormous, its physical body should still be that of a human.
However, for some reason, maybe a secret art or Magic Skill, they became this way.
One Immortal statue had its arms broken and was covered in wounds, nearly completely useless. The other one had a gaping hole in its chest. The Young Treasure Master Yi Ling’s expression distorted, and he sent a thought through the pearl as he withdrew in disarray.
Retreat!
The two Immortal statues leaped into the air and did their best to disengage from the battle.
“Do you think you can come and go as you please?”
Xiao Chen snorted coldly and drew his Lunar Shadow Saber, then flung it into the air.
The Transcendent Divine Weapon gave off a bright light, looking like a big sun as it descended.
The Great Dao Energy behind Xiao Chen condensed into a spot and then rose. The Dao Might infused into the Lunar Shadow Saber, making that bright light even more resplendent.
When the Lunar Shadow Saber landed, it stabbed the Immortal statue that lost its arms, launching it into the air.
The statue then fell into the sea and got firmly pinned to the seabed.
The seemingly invincible Immortal statue was forcefully destroyed, just like that. Yi Ling’s heart bled and was also horrified at the same time.
Fortunately, the mission that the Treasure Master gave him was not to kill Xiao Chen but just to test Xiao Chen’s strength.
However, Yi Ling originally thought that this would be nothing, that with the power of two Immortal statues, he would crush Xiao Chen easily.
Now, it looked like that was just a foolish delusion. He finally believed the Treasure Master’s words.
After gaining victory with this strike, Xiao Chen abandoned his pursuit. Then, his figure flashed, and he smashed the sea’s surface apart with one palm strike.
“Bang!” The seawater parted and revealed the colossal Immortal statue at the bottom of the sea, a saber stabbed into its back. Xiao Chen descended and pulled out the Lunar Shadow Saber.
“Crack!”
The Great Dao Energy exploded in the body of the Immortal statue. Then, its colossal body crumbled before his eyes.
Xiao Chen was not surprised at this. This Immortal statue was already severely damaged by his Flawless Saber Technique in the first place. Finally, the Transcendent Divine Weapon infused with Great Dao Energy dealt it a fatal blow.
It would be impossible for the Immortal statue not to shatter.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Sonic booms resounded behind Xiao Chen. Mo Chen, Lan Shaobai, Xiao Yu, and the others flew over when they saw that the danger had been resolved.
“Big Brother Xiao...,” Mo Chen said, wanting to explain.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, “There’s no need to say anything; I understand. Everyone in the Dragon’s Gate is fine, right?”
Mo Chen nodded and replied, “They are fine. After I received the news, I gathered everyone in the nearby islands to Heavenly Dragon City. I originally thought that the two Immortal statues would attack Heavenly Dragon City. Who knew, they never attacked. So, at that time, I became suspicious.”
Xiao Chen said, “They are testing my strength. The Treasure Master will probably save attacking the Dragon’s Gate for last.”
Mo Chen asked quickly, “Should we leave now, then? During this period, I completed the reconstruction of Heavenly Dragon City and linked it with the entire Heavenly Star Island. We can fly the entire island to the continent.”
Xiao Chen shook his head and replied, “Things have not reached that point yet. Also, I have to go and rescue those three Immortal Holy Lands. We cannot just watch them get destroyed. Furthermore, would escaping to Kunlun Mountain mean that we will be safe?”
“Big Brother Xiao, what do you mean?”
The others could not understand what Xiao Chen meant, showing expressions of confusion.
As Xiao Chen investigated the fragments of the statue, he explained, “If my guess is right, the Treasure Master is intimately connected to the Dark Church. Furthermore, this is just the start. Soon, the apocalyptic Demonic Calamity will arrive. At that time, nowhere in the entire Kunlun Realm will be safe.”
The expressions of Lan Shaobai and the others changed at his words. Clearly, they had not expected that the Heavenly Starry Ocean’s matter was just a beginning.
“Hey?!”
As Xiao Chen dug through the broken pieces of the statue, he found a heart-shaped rock. As he held it in his hand, he could feel the pulsation of heartbeats.
These Immortal statues were definitely living Immortals a long time ago. They either used secret arts or Magic Skills to turn into what they were.
Logically speaking, these bodies should not show any signs of life. However, this heart did.
In a moment, Xiao Chen realized that this heart was what the Treasure Master used to control the Immortal statues and organize their actions.
The Treasure Master probably used the Puppet Pearl to activate these hearts before achieving his purpose of controlling them.
In other words, as long as Xiao Chen shattered the hearts of these Immortal statues, these humongous killing machines would just be a pile of rocks.
No wonder Yi Ling quickly retreated after Xiao Chen used the Heartbreaking Stance and shattered that Immortal statue’s heart.
If Yi Ling still had not retreated, that Immortal statue would have slowly died from the shattering of its heart.
Unfortunately, Xiao Chen let that Immortal statue get away. The other side would definitely have a way to repair it. If he had just steeled himself and continued to give chase, both Immortal statues would have ended up remaining behind.
“Big Brother Xiao, what are you thinking about?” Mo Chen asked after Xiao Chen remained silent for a long time.
Xiao Chen revealed a smile and replied, “I have a rough idea what the weakness of these Immortal statues is already. Come, follow me. I need to verify something in the Azure Dragon Palace.”
—
Many warships and war chariots dragged countless cultivators like animals to the secret island where the Treasure Master’s Residence was.
The cultivation of all these cultivators was crippled, and they were bound with ropes. Then, they were piled up in a huge hole within the Treasure Master’s Residence.
The Treasure Master watched all this without showing any expression, appearing to be in deep thought. Still not enough. The quality of these cultivators is too low. This is not enough to summon the Demonic God.
I need to take down the three Immortal Holy Lands. Those places have the most Martial Emperor experts and even more elite cultivators.
“Lord Treasure Master, the Young Treasure Master is back.”
A subordinate came to report. The Treasure Master nodded slightly and said, “Let him come over.”
The Young Treasure Master walked over with fear and trepidation. He said with a lowered head, “Father, you are right. The two Immortal statues are indeed unable to kill him.”
The Treasure Master did not show any surprise. He ordered indifferently, “Tell me about the process in detail, tell me everything that you saw.”
When Yi Ling finished explaining, the Treasure Master sighed, “Nurturing a tiger invites calamity indeed. I should have guessed early on that he would end up as my greatest obstacle. Unfortunately, I did not harden my heart and eliminate him like I did the Thunder Emperor.
“However, it’s fine. Even if the Azure Emperor comes back to life, no one can stop me this time!”
