Chapter 1379
Chapter 1379 (Raw 1370):
Naturally, the move of the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, the top Prime under the Thunder Sovereign, was going to be extraordinary.
The timing of this finger's descent was extremely accurate. The Supreme Sky Prime and the Spirit Fox King happened to be held up by the Heaven Punishing Corpse God and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch. They could only watch as this finger descended.
"Bang!" The finger struck Xiao Chen, whose body was already wobbling.
Xiao Chen vomited a mouthful of blood and fell over on that scarlet road. His blood looked exceptionally eye-catching.
"No!"
Mo Chen, Yue Bingyun, and the other girls all cried out distractedly. They simply could not accept such a result.
"Did it succeed?"
Falling off the Emperor's Road meant failing the tribulation. Many people saw this scene and had no doubt that Xiao Chen failed his tribulation.
However, the Emperor's Road did not crumble. The scarlet Emperor's Door still hung high in the sky, showing no signs of disappearing.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign frowned slightly. Although he had sought absolute speed in his finger attack, resulting in a reduced might, even a casual strike should be more than Xiao Chen could bear. It should have easily knocked him into the air.
What was the problem? Why did the Emperor's Road not crumble yet?
While this question appeared in everyone's minds, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign looked over and noticed a few unremarkable fingers on the edge of the bloody road.
"He is not off yet. Xiao Chen is still on it!"
Xiao Chen hung arduously on the edge of the bloody road with one hand, a wound on his chest.
His body was like a catkin swaying with the wind. However, no matter how he swayed, he firmly gripped the bloody road with his five fingers.
Xiao Chen's heart remained calm. Thinking about it, he really had to thank the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign for making a move. The scarlet skull that came from atop the Emperor's Road had magnified the fear in his heart infinitely. Even with his mental state, he found it hard to endure this fear.
However, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's finger attack forced him out of that state quickly when standing on the line between life and death.
Xiao Chen pulled with force and somersaulted in the air, landing back on the bloody road.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's face sank. He quietly pointed at Xiao Chen before saying, "Let's see whether you are going to be this lucky a second time."
A gigantic finger broke through the sky again and headed for Xiao Chen, pressing down.
Everywhere it passed, space tore. Hymns of praise for the Deity Race rang out in the air. It was like poetic history, long-lasting and ancient. This finger was like the rage of a divine being.
"Qitian, don't go overboard!"
Ying Zongtian, who was fighting with the Heaven Punishing Corpse God in the sky, raged. He roared and threw a palm strike at the sky at the cost of receiving a palm strike from the Heaven Punishing Corpse God. A huge sun came out of the palm, looking like the sun rising from the horizon.
The glittering golden light lit up half the sky as the sun flew up.
This sun directly shattered the image of the divine being in the sky; the gigantic finger that belonged to it shattered without needing any further action. It turned into countless motes of divine light, falling like flowers scattered around the scarlet road that filled the sky.
"Bang!"
However, this strike resulted in the Heaven Punishing Corpse God landing a firm blow on Ying Zongtian. When Primes fought, how could they get distracted?
The Heaven Punishing Corpse God took this opportunity to clench his hand and use ten thousand Dragon Force to punch Ying Zongtian's chest.
"Pu ci!" Ying Zongtian instantly flew back ten kilometers while vomiting mouthfuls of blood. As he flew back, he crashed into several Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors, causing them to fly back with severe injuries as well.
When Xiao Chen landed and looked up, he happened to see this scene.
"Big Brother Ying!"
Xiao Chen's heart bled, but he was powerless to do anything. The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign was too overbearing.
"Little Brother Xiao Chen, focus on walking your Emperor's Road. Don't be distracted!"
The pale Ying Zongtian showed a relaxed smile. Then, he charged at the Heaven Punishing Corpse God. "Xing Tian, you are only so-so. Despite cultivating the physical body, your strike on me only felt like an itch. Hahaha!"
"Humph! How dare you look down on me!"
The Heaven Punishing Corpse God possessed a fiery temper. He immediately released ten percent more of his strength and continued the fight with Ying Zongtian.
"Boom!"
The range of the shock waves coming from these two's battle instantly doubled. This caught some of the Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors and Sovereign Martial Emperors off guard, and they failed to dodge in time.
Xiao Chen stopped looking aside and gave his own Emperor's Road a deep look. Then, he officially took his first step.
Instantly, many gusts of cold wind blow, appearing like sharp knives. These were unavoidable. Xiao Chen brandished his saber and danced around wildly. Nonstop ringing sounds came from the air.
On the other hand, no one interfered with Di Wuque with the three Holy Masters protecting him. Although he was covered in injuries, he had already taken one hundred steps, possessing a great lead.
In contrast, Xiao Chen's Emperor's Road was much more difficult. Not only did he have to face all sorts of strange winds, but he also had to deal with the constant harassment of the Deity Dao Union's Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors and the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign. His path was incredibly difficult.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign was in no rush. Occasionally, he made a move, forcing Ying Zongtian and the Spirit Fox King to endure the strike of a Prime in order to help Xiao Chen block the fatal attacks of the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign.
Soon, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch had significantly injured the Supreme Sky Prime and the Spirit Fox King. The other Martial Emperors on the Supreme Sky Sect's side were in even sorrier states. They each had to face two opponents at least; some had to fight against three.
"Hua!"
Suddenly, the Life Essence of a Martial Emperor filled the air; boundless Spiritual Energy moved about with the wind.
"One of the Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors on the Supreme Sky Sect's side fell!"
The many cultivators watching the battle from outside Meteor Trail City all inhaled sharply. A genuine Greater Heavenly Martial Emperor fell. Based on the situation, there would likely be a second and third. It might even be possible for a Sovereign Martial Emperor to fall.
"Two outstanding talents taking their tribulations at the same time. There probably has never been such a scene ever since ancient times."
"What is even more astonishing is that one is the legendary peak nine-colored Emperor's Road while the other is a never-heard-of-before bloody road. I wonder which one is better?"
"This probably startled most of the Martial Emperors of the Kunlun Realm."
"I wonder, how many Martial Emperors will fall in this battle between the two sides?"
"The Azure Dragon King is probably in some danger. If this goes on, the Supreme Sky Sect will fall to the Deity Dao Union sooner or later."
Outside Meteor Trail City, the cultivators that rushed over were all stunned by this scene. Such a scene deterred some Martial Emperors from entering Meteor Trail City, only daring to watch from afar lest they get caught up in the shock waves.
The situation was already clear. The peak fighting force of the Supreme Sky Sect was falling quickly.
At the moment, Xiao Chen had taken only about one hundred steps on his Emperor's Road; however, Di Wuque had already managed close to one thousand.
"Fortunately, I'm not too late!"
Just at this moment, a relaxed voice echoed in the distance. The sky for five thousand kilometers turned dark. Starlight descended, and the handsome Cyclic Astral Lord rushed over with Chu Yang in tow.
With one finger attack, the Cyclic Astral Lord extinguished the divine finger that the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign was still preparing.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's expression changed slightly. Unexpectedly, the Cyclic Astral Lord came so quickly.
"The Cyclic Astral Lord is here!"
Mo Chen and the others cheered. They could only anxiously wait while this battle took place. They had no opportunities to make a move at all.
The Cyclic Astral Lord, a Prime, arrived. Without a doubt, this gave everyone hope in a desperate crisis.
"Three Holy Masters, block him!" the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign said expressionlessly. With the three Holy Masters' strength together with their Holy Beast Totems, it would be easy for them to block one Cyclic Astral Lord.
"Why bother?!" A drawn-out sigh resounded. The Myriad-Law Fiend Master suddenly appeared, and the aura of another Prime spread out. Instantly, the three Holy Masters did not dare to make another move. If they left, there would be no one to block any Primes from attacking Di Wuque.
"The Myriad-Law Fiend Master is here too! That's another Prime!"
The people around let out startled cries. The Myriad-Law Fiend Master narrowed his eyes and threw three palm strikes one after another and smashed to the ground all the Deity Dao Union's Martial Emperors trying to sneak-attack Xiao Chen, making them vomit blood.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
A large patch of black clouds flew over in the sky. The Blood Shark Sovereign led the thirteen Great Bandits of the Black Sea over in an orderly fashion.
"Those are the thirteen Great Bandits of the Black Sea. What a fellow! Exactly how many people did the Azure Dragon King call over to help protect him?"
Before the many Martial Emperors could finish exclaiming in surprise, the Holy Masters of the Heavenly Province Academy, the Yinyang Paradise, and the Five Poison Sect appeared one after another.
Under the pressure of their strong auras, the Deity Dao Union's Martial Emperors no longer dared to continue attacking. They all showed horror on their faces as they retreated.
Now, the balance of strength instantly flipped over, favoring Xiao Chen's side.
"What's going on? All the powerhouses of the oceanic world rushed over!"
The Deity Dao Union's Martial Emperors quickly retreated and gathered behind the East Mountain Ghost Monarch and the Heaven Punishing Corpse God. All of them showed somewhat grave expressions.
These Martial Emperors knew that Xiao Chen had managed to convince some people in the oceanic world. However, they never guessed that his supporters extended to most of the peak characters of the entire oceanic world.
Qitian, weren't you saying that you had the means to block these people? Why are they still here? How are we going to continue? Four Primes, thirteen Sovereign Martial Emperors of the Black Sea, and another three Holy Masters! The Heaven Punishing Corpse God sent a voice projection to the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign as he suppressed his rage.
However, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's rage was even stronger than the Heaven Punishing Corpse God's. The Treasure Master had promised to help block half of the Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors and Primes. However, now, the Treasure Master did not block even a single one. All of them rushed over.
"Heavenly Starry Ocean's Treasure Master, after this is over, I will definitely kill you!"
A strong murderous intent filled the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's eyes. He wished that he could charge over now and chop the Treasure Master into ten thousand pieces.
Without the Thunder Sovereign around, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign was the strongest expert of the Kunlun Realm, yet he had been fooled by the Heavenly Starry Ocean's Treasure Master.
"Qitian, if you stop now, I can let bygones be bygones. The offer of the gentlemen's agreement is still valid!" Ying Zongtian said, looking at the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign while standing upright with his hands behind his back.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign laughed loudly, "Ying Zongtian, when I advanced to Prime, you were nothing. You are not qualified to talk to me. Don't bother with this hypocrisy. Today, Xiao Chen must die. No matter who it is, it will be useless!"
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign held his palm up, and space shattered. A terrifying aura came out from the crack.
Ying Zongtian and the other Primes frowned slightly and looked at the mysterious existence in the crack. At the same time, they felt startled. There seemed to be an existence that exceeded Prime in there?
