Chapter 1381
Chapter 1381 (Raw 1372):
Summoning the Deity Race ancestor drew the lightning attack of the Heavenly Dao's Heavenly Retribution down on the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign. The wounds on his chest had not healed yet, which showed how severe these wounds were.
Even if a Prime did not focus on tempering the body, their physical bodies were already incredibly strong.
Primes could instantly recover from ordinary injuries. Given that the wounds had not healed yet, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign was clearly still severely injured. The timing of the Saber Sword Two Sovereigns was very accurate.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign could not dodge this. But if he forcefully blocked the attacks of the two Transcendent Divine Weapons, even if he did not fall, he would lose a portion of his combat prowess, entering an extremely dangerous state.
At the moment of life and death, the East Mountain Ghost Monarch stepped forward and shielded the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, receiving this saber strike and sword strike for him.
"Dang!"
Amid the loud sound, space twisted. Streaks of strange tears appeared, knocking away some of the surrounding people.
Although the East Mountain Ghost Monarch did not move back a step after receiving the saber strike and sword strike, blood leaked out of a corner of his lips, indicating a significant injury.
The Coiling Monarch Time Saber and the Scarlet Firmament Space Sword quickly bounced back. Two figures arrived from the sky, caught the Transcendent Divine Weapons and rushed to the rear, where the nine-colored clouds were.
This was the first time an outsider to the Deity Dao Union charged over to the area that the nine-colored clouds covered. Although the chaotic battle was intense and grand, it took place under the five hundred kilometers of blood clouds.
When the three Holy Masters protecting Di Wuque saw this, they did not make a move. This was because the Saber Sword Two Sovereigns were not there for Di Wuque.
Instead, the Saber Sword Two Sovereigns charged to the rear. Their target was the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign.
The Saber Sovereign, Wu Xiaotian, and the Sword Sovereign, Liu Xiaoyun, were the Sovereign Martial Emperors who were the closest to Prime in the Kunlun Realm. With the two of them working together, in addition to the Transcendent Divine Weapons in their hands, they could suppress a Prime.
The appearance of these two recovered the delicate balance.
This sight had the many neutral Martial Emperors outside Meteor Trail City and the cultivators there to watch the excitement breathing tensely.
"The Saber Sword Two Sovereigns are here. These two's tribulations really attracted the attention of the entire world!"
"The number of major characters of the Kunlun Realm who are not here can probably be counted on the fingers of one hand."
"I wonder who will succeed in their tribulation first in the very end."
Amid the rather calm discussions, Liu Xiaoyun and Wu Xiaotian both raised their respective Transcendent Divine Weapons and pointed them at the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch.
The East Mountain Ghost Monarch coldly said, "Are the two of you tired of living? To think that you dare to make a move at this time! Are you really not afraid of us seeking payback after this is over?"
Liu Xiaoyun said calmly, "East Mountain Ghost Monarch, the two of us have no other intentions. We just want to force back the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, and we will stop. If this continues, the one that loses out, in the end, will be the entire Kunlun Realm. The Deep Abyss Demonic World will take advantage of this."
Wu Xiaotian added, "Don't forget that after the Hundred Race War about one hundred thousand years ago, the Kunlun Realm fell from its peak age to its current state."
The East Mountain Ghost Monarch scolded, "How foolish! It is precisely because of the impending war with the Deep Abyss Demonic World's Demons that we have to gather all the forces together. This is the purpose of forming the Deity Dao Union. Taking down the Supreme Sky Sect is the first step in the Deity Dao Union uniting the Kunlun Realm. The two of you are truly short-sighted. To think you are not embarrassed to call yourselves the Saber Sword Two Sovereigns!"
"Help me to delay them for four hours. I'll personally make a move to suppress these two reckless fools." The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's cold voice came from behind. Right after he spoke, black lightning suddenly leaped out of his body.
This black lightning exploded in the distant sky, blasting a huge hole in it. Now, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign seriously treated his injuries, wanting to force out the Heavenly Dao's Divine Lightning from his body.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign sat down cross-legged, and many small worlds appeared behind him. In each of these small worlds were countless believers praying in shrines.
At this moment, the countless hundreds of lower realms that the Deity Race grasped, as well as the various shrines in the Kunlun Realm, started to send an endless flow of the power of faith to the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign was the strongest Prime under the Thunder Sovereign. Once he turned serious, no matter who it was, they would tremble.
"Attack!"
The Saber Sword Two Sovereigns only exchanged one glance, and they immediately understood each other's thoughts. They absolutely could not let the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign recover fully. This was a good opportunity for them to get the Deity Dao Union to call off this war.
Working together, the Saber Sword Two Sovereigns started fighting with the East Mountain Ghost Monarch.
The East Mountain Ghost Monarch fought against two alone. When facing the storm-like attacks of the two, he immediately shouldered a heavy pressure.
As the East Mountain Ghost Monarch and the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign were dragged into the battle, the entire Meteor Trail City turned completely chaotic. No one could stay out of this battle.
Under the blood clouds, Xiao Chen continued climbing his bloody Emperor's Road arduously. Without realizing it, he had already taken one thousand steps. Of the ten thousand steps, there were nine thousand steps left. It looked like there was still a long journey ahead.
When Xiao Chen crossed the one-thousandth step, a warmth appeared in his marrows. It burned hot and felt extremely comfortable.
He felt that the bloody road under him had improved his physical body. His Vital Qi strengthened explosively. When he gently clenched his fingers, the joints gave off crackling sounds and dragons roared endlessly.
The circulation of Xiao Chen's Vital Qi became several times smoother than before. Even before using his full strength, he already could use one hundred Dragon Force.
"Could it be that with every step I take, my physical body improves? Will every one thousand steps build up some accumulations?" Xiao Chen muttered to himself. Now, when he looked at this bloody Emperor's Road, he revealed an excited expression.
There were still nine thousand more steps—which meant there were nine more opportunities for such improvements.
With this thought, Xiao Chen's fighting spirit flared even stronger. Become a Martial Emperor! Become a Martial Emperor! I have to finish walking this bloody path!
At the same time, Di Wuque already finished taking one thousand five hundred steps. Likewise, he felt the benefits that this nine-colored Emperor's Road brought him.
Di Wuque's body gave off nine-colored light. As he punched with full force, he actually managed to scatter a wind tribulation.
"How strong! My body actually went through a transformative change. It turns out that this nine-colored Emperor's Road has such a benefit as well. My physical body has always been my weakness. After finishing this Emperor's Road, my physical body will be able to contest with Xiao Chen's."
Di Wuque rejoiced. With his remaining Emperor's Road, he should have another five more opportunities at this transformation.
He looked up at the Emperor's Door, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes. Be it for himself or the dead Divine Daughter, he needed to go up and push open that Emperor's Door.
The nine-colored Emperor's Road. This is the heavens taking care of me. As long as I can finish walking this, I will be able to kill Xiao Chen personally!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Thunder roared continuously in the sky. Bolts of lightning from the Heavenly Retribution were forced out of the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's body.
The East Mountain Ghost Monarch was suppressed to a very sorry state. Several wounds appeared on his body.
However, Wu Xiaotian and Liu Xiaoyun did not smile despite this. The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's complexion was improving. The divine light coming from his body had already condensed into a pillar of light soaring into the sky. The resplendent Divine Might caused the clouds to roil and the winds to blow, creating many mysterious phenomena.
"Boom!" The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign finally forced out the last lightning bolt of the Heavenly Retribution.
"Great Divine Weapon Imprint! Die!"
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, who had been holding his anger in, suddenly stood up and formed hand seals. Boundless Mental Energy spread out as he narrowed his eyes. The strong Mental Energy turned into many weapons flickering with divine light, looking real as they surrounded the Saber Sword Two Sovereigns.
"Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!"
Countless tiny holes immediately appeared in space. The Saber Sword Two Sovereigns brandished their Transcendent Divine Weapons and blocked continuously, giving off ringing sounds.
The sound waves traveled far, shattering several mountain ranges outside Meteor Trail City.
Just the sound waves alone were so powerful. This showed how powerful the Mental Energy weapons giving off divine light were.
"Pa!"
While the Saber Sword Two Sovereigns defended, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch attacked together, each throwing a palm strike and landing them on the Saber Sword Two Sovereigns.
The two vomited blood and flew back. The weapons giving off divine light instantly riddled their bodies with wounds.
The two Primes stood side by side, looking coldly at Liu Xiaoyun and Wu Xiaotian.
"Even if you have Transcendent Divine Weapons, you are far from qualified to fight with Primes," the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign mocked. After using the power of faith from several tens of thousands of shrines for four hours, he finally managed to recover from most of his injuries.
"I'll go and kill Xiao Chen. I'll leave these two to Brother Qitian," the East Mountain Ghost Monarch said.
"No need. I'll personally kill Xiao Chen. This time, I must guarantee that nothing goes wrong and personally destroy his Emperor's Road."
Determination flashed in the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's eyes. He had lost his patience long ago. Now, Ying Zongtian and the other three Primes were being suppressed by the Heaven Punishing Corpse God.
With the Saber Sword Two Sovereigns injured, the East Mountain Ghost Monarch would be able to handle them. It seemed that nobody could stop him from attacking Xiao Chen.
At this moment, Xiao Chen already experienced all sorts of bitterness, taking more than three thousand steps and starting on his fire tribulation.
He already found it very difficult to traverse the blazing fire. The many Martial Emperors attacking him made things worse.
However, right now, a greater danger descended. A Prime that threw all caution to the wind was going to make a move on him, intending to kill him personally on his Emperor's Road.
After another step, before Xiao Chen could relax, he suddenly had an extremely ominous feeling.
His heart sank as he looked up. There was another huge finger tearing through the sky and pressing towards him.
"Dang!"
Xiao Chen did his best to block. However, the difference in strength was too great. Although he managed to block that finger attack at the last moment, it destabilized his footing and made him fall, sending him rolling down the blazing bloody road.
