Chapter 1302
Chapter 1302:
The white-haired old man felt some irony in this. This formation was meant for Demons, yet they were now using it on Xiao Chen, a human.
The even more ironic thing was that the formation had been of no use against the Demons not too long ago, entirely ineffective, yet it was so tyrannical in dealing with one of their own.
"Whoosh!"
Openings appeared in the dark space, and beams of light shone in. They were so glaring that Xiao Chen squinted slightly.
Hey, Xiao Chen, are you alright?
"What do you think? One thousand weapons all stabbed into my body."
What should we do? Should I come out and help you? Ao Jiao asked worriedly.
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and said, "My Heart of an Emperor is not injured. To me, these are all just superficial wounds. Don't worry. I did indeed underestimate this Sky Dome Dragon Formation. Furthermore, I heard that this is just a simplified version. The Great Sky Dome Dragon Formation could make more than a thousand Sky Dome Dragons appear in the sky and on the ground at the same time."
Look at the situation. To think that you are still in the mood to evaluate this Sky Dome Dragon Formation! You should be thinking of how to break it.
"Never mind, just let them attack one more time. After that, I should more or less have figured out what's going on with the Sky Dome Dragon on the ground."
What?! You still want to experience the pain of being pierced by a thousand weapons again?!
On the dragon head, Bai Yu revealed an expression of joy as he looked at the blood in the air. Even if Xiao Chen had a Heart of an Emperor, after they injured him another ten or so times like this, he would definitely be weakened and obediently accept his punishment.
"Again!" Bai Yu shouted coldly in a grand manner.
The thousand Martial Sages heeded the order, and the entire Sky Dome Palace trembled violently a second time. The Sky Dome Dragon on the ground coiled up once more.
---
The intense mysterious phenomenon startled three pale Blood Demons from the Demonic World outside the Sky Dome Palace, causing them to step out of the darkness.
The person in the middle possessed a delicate appearance with a purple mark on his head, an outstanding royal talent of the Blood Demon Race.
The servant on the right revealed a joyful expression. He said respectfully, "The heavens are helping Young Master Xue. Our mission is to rescue that Yao Manlan, and we have already waited here for several days, fearing this Sky Dome Dragon Formation. Now, they sowed confusion in their own ranks by themselves."
[TL Note: The Xue in Young Master Xue means blood.]
Young Master Xue did not have much color on his face. "Even I am not very confident in breaking this Sky Dome Dragon Formation. Who is so powerful that the Sky Dome Palace needed to use this formation to suppress him?"
The Sky Dome Dragon Formation was as problematic as expected. However, it was not that scary. What Young Master Xue feared was this unexpected change.
---
"Hu chi!"
There was another loud shout, and the Sky Dome Dragon straightened again, spurting blood into the air once more.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The many cultivators on the various parts of the dragon shouted together. Their roars were like thunder, shaking the surroundings.
The might of the Sky Dome Dragon was clear without a doubt. Even the strong and powerful Xiao Chen could not do anything but let them torture him like a fish out of water now.
Feeling very delighted, Qin Yu shouted involuntarily, "Good! Good! Good! Xiao Chen, for however many times you stomped on me, I will make you suffer however many rounds of torture."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen smiled coldly instead. After being attacked twice, he already had a rough understanding of the current situation and came up with a corresponding countermeasure.
However, when the Sky Dome Dragon coiled up, the space of the entire Sky Dome Palace changed in reality. The space where Xiao Chen was at also compressed to a spot. No matter where he ran to, he would not be able to leave this point.
Furthermore, no matter what direction those one thousand weapons came from, they would all strike the point where Xiao Chen was.
As such, there was no need for Xiao Chen to keep running everywhere like before. He could just stand still and defend.
If it were a regular Martial Emperor, even if he could understand this quickly, he would not be able to do anything. There was too little space, and dodging all one thousand attacks was impossible; he could only suffer the torture round after round.
However, Xiao Chen was different. He comprehended the Fish Dragon Art and was now an expert in dodging in a small space.
"Continue! I want to hear him in pain, begging for mercy!" Qin Yu loudly instructed Bai Yu, showing a sinister expression.
Bai Yu, who was on the dragon head, pointed with his sword again. The Sky Dome Dragon coiled up once more, and the other disciples copied his actions, moving as one.
However, this time, they would be disappointed!
Hundred changes of fish and dragon, dodge!
Within that small space, Xiao Chen's body moved like the Immortal fish wagging their tails and squirting about.
Afterimages flickered. The seemingly casual actions allowed Xiao Chen to dodge at the most dangerous moment every time.
Within one breath, he moved a thousand times, dodging all the weapons without exception.
When the opponents were about to pull out their weapons, Xiao Chen suddenly moved around. Amid flickering images, he sent out one thousand blows in one breath.
"Ka ca! Ka ca!"
When the Sky Dome Dragon straightened again, all the cultivators standing on the various parts of the dragon pulled out broken weapons.
"What's going on?"
"Why is my sword broken?!"
Everyone found this development incredible, showing shock on their faces. Even Bai Yu, who was on the dragon head, had no clue about what was going on.
Qin Hu's smile froze. He felt something was wrong.
"Whoosh!"
The shattered pieces of one thousand weapons flew out from the openings. Each shard contained a strong and unparalleled saber intent as it shot out of the Sky Dome Dragon.
Miserable shrieks resounded. This counterattack caught the one thousand cultivators off guard, wounding them and causing them to fall from the sky.
This time, the blood splattering into the air did not belong to Xiao Chen.
After the one thousand cultivators lost control of the Sky Dome Dragon, Xiao Chen distinctly felt the tight unyielding space around him weaken significantly.
"Twin Moons Competing!"
Xiao Chen sent out two palm strikes, executing Thousand Year Flame and Thousand Year Death at the same time. A scarlet moon and bright moon crashed into each other and exploded, producing a vast destructive force.
"Rumble…" The Sky Dome Dragon, which was trying to soar into the air, fell heavily to the ground as if severely injured.
A large hole blasted open on the dragon's body, sending building debris flying in all directions.
When Xiao Chen leaped out of the opening, he discovered that what he blew up earlier was a building of the Sky Dome Palace.
"What a profound formation! It can actually use all the buildings in such an ingenious manner."
Sincere praise came from Xiao Chen's mouth. However, the cultivators below felt humiliated by this. This was such a profound formation, but it failed to kill or even trap him. Did that mean that they were not even comparable to trash?
Bai Yu remained on the dragon head. His face sank as he shouted, "Disciples, return to your positions. Sky Dome Dragon Formation, Twin Dragons Swing Tails!"
"We obey!"
The many injured cultivators felt dissatisfied. With Bai Yu shouting like this, the fighting spirit in their hearts reignited. One thousand pillars of light soared into the sky as they once again mounted the body of the dragon.
The hidden Sky Dome Dragon in the clouds above arrived first. Then, its tail swept across in an unpredictable fashion. This attack contained tremendous force, setting the surroundings abuzz. Space creaked like an old building.
Xiao Chen had been planning to leave, not lingering here. However, he saw the two dragon tails flying over from above and below.
Suddenly, a new plan popped into his head.
Xiao Chen already figured out that this Sky Dome Dragon Formation was somewhat strange while he was in the dragon's belly. He did not know how many more moves this formation had. He was alone, and there was no need for him to fight this formation head-on. Even if he won, the cost would be too much.
As long as he managed to leave, he could think of thousands of methods to force Qin Hu and the other two to give in. There was no need to remain here stubbornly and suffer.
However, when he saw the two tails, he thought of an idea: breaking the opponent's formation with his opponent's force.
If there were three Sky Dome Dragons, Xiao Chen would not dare to do this. However, there were only two Sky Dome Dragons, which gave him a lot of confidence.
Two fiery lights flickered in his eyes. The Taiji force field instantly formed. This time, he split his one hundred stands of Primordial Energy in half and made the Taiji force field stronger than it had ever been before.
Fight!
Xiao Chen roared and looked around. Then, his right hand slowly stretched towards the dragon tail descending from the sky.
His actions looked astonishingly slow. However, this slow motion allowed his right hand to grab the dragon tail firmly as his body wriggled like a fish.
When Xiao Chen moved, he formed thousands—tens of thousands—of layered afterimages.
Qin Hu cried out in startlement, "How can it be? The force of this dragon tail can fling a Third Heaven Martial Emperor. Xiao Chen actually caught it without getting hurt at all."
"That's not right. He is neutralizing the force. While his actions appear very slow, he is actually as stable as a mountain." Although the white-haired old man at the side could not completely figure out what happened, he discovered some of the tricks behind it.
Qin Hu smiled coldly and said, "No matter how much force he neutralizes, after the second tail sweeps over, he will definitely be injured when clamped between the two!"
The afterimages merged together. Then, the peaceful-looking Xiao Chen pulled ferociously on the dragon tail without a word.
The clouds scattered and the sky tore. Xiao Chen yanked down an old dragon.
The dragon tail coming from the ground crashed heavily into the old dragon that Xiao Chen pulled down. Two dragons colliding, this was a horrifying scene that no one expected, but it happened.
The shock waves instantly blasted away the one thousand cultivators on the body of the dragon on the ground.
The two Sky Dome Dragons suffered heavy losses. Thousands of buildings on the ground collapsed.
Using the opponent's force to destroy their formation!
Xiao Chen revealed a smile on his face as he looked at the old dragon from the sky writhing on the ground in pain. Then, feeling enlightened, he said, "I was wondering why this formation was so powerful. It turns out that there is a genuine complete dragon soul here. The resources needed for the Sky Dome Dragon Formation are truly great."
"Form the formation and kill him!" Bai Yu shouted as he looked at Xiao Chen, who had landed, after he got back to his feet with a flip. He seemed to have gone crazy.
Xiao Chen shook his head and said indifferently, "The formation has already lost most of its might. What else are you going to use to play with me?"
"Taiji Burst!"
Xiao Chen waved his right hand casually. The Taiji force field that already spread over the entire place exploded. The original peaceful and serene Taiji force field, which appeared natural and harmonious, suddenly blew up with shocking destructive power.
All the buildings on the ground were uprooted and crushed into countless pieces. Dust flew everywhere, looking like smoke. The entire Sky Dome Palace was demolished. Various chunks of rubble flew in the sky, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
The rubble knocked the cultivators, who were charging at Xiao Chen, into the sky, sending them tumbling with the dust and debris in the air.
Amid the grand and chaotic scene, Xiao Chen slowly walked over to Qin Hu.
This explosion was like a powerful storm, like the end of the world had arrived. This scene served as a backdrop for Xiao Chen. However, the white-robed Xiao Chen still appeared peaceful and serene, walking over calmly and elegantly.
The Lunar Shadow Saber appeared from somewhere, and he grabbed it in a natural fashion, tightly gripping it with his palm.
Xiao Chen happened to arrive by Qin Hu's side at this moment. Before the stunned Qin Hu could react, Xiao Chen kicked him, forcing Qin Hu to his knees.
