Chapter 1384
Chapter 1384 (Raw 1375):
"Kill!"
All the rage of the Martial Emperors, Primes, and outstanding talents of the Supreme Sky Sect manifested as the thought "kill." Overwhelming killing intent spread in the blood clouds, turning the dense blood clouds even thicker and thicker—like a sea of blood with countless waves.
The sea of blood hung upside-down, materializing boundless mysterious phenomena: lightning, aggrieved spirits, lotuses, saber Qi, sword Qi, and many more.
An even crazier battle than before began. The Supreme Sky Sect cultivators completely ignored their life and death, fighting completely deranged.
Their flourishing momentum daunted the Deity Dao Union cultivators, who did not dare to clash head-on at all.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign frowned slightly, but he did not make a move. He looked coldly at these crazed people. Be it Ying Zongtian, Mo Chen, or the others, to him, they were just wasted effort.
These people were merely dissatisfied with their failure. No matter how strong their momentum was, it would be only for now.
When the Divine Son, Di Wuque, pushed open that Emperor's Door, this farce would come to an end. After that, the Deity Dao Union would expand step by step until it finally ruled the entire Kunlun Realm, accomplishing the dreams of the Deity Race ancestors that had lain unfulfilled for hundreds of thousands of years.
Nevertheless, for some reason, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign kept feeling that something was wrong. However, he just could not place his finger on what it was.
Xiao Chen had already died. He turned to ashes on that bloody Emperor's Road, dead beyond all doubt. Di Wuque would inherit the great Luck when he finished walking his Emperor's Road, gaining enlightenment.
Despite that, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign still felt that something was wrong. He frowned heavily, unable to stop.
Finally, he figured out what was wrong. That bloody road to the sky had not broken yet. The scarlet Emperor's Door still hung in the sky.
The Deity Dao Union's side continuously retreated. The huge battle moved from under the blood clouds to under the nine-colored clouds.
However, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign ignored all this. His eyes narrowed, and his strong Mental Energy tore through the barrier of the Emperor's Road. He saw the final moments of Xiao Chen's corpse turning into ashes.
There was a saber there. Beside it were three rings. Two of them were the Universe Ring and Immortal Spirit Ring that Xiao Chen carried. The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign was familiar with them. The third was an ancient and plain ring. Despite being in the fire, it looked unremarkable.
"What is this ring?" the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign muttered to himself, sensing the strangeness of this ring. Hence, he sent out all his Mental Energy.
"Whoosh!"
It was like the scene on the Emperor's Road appeared in front of him. Finally, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign saw something on the plain ring: a dragon!
There was an Azure Dragon etched on the inside on the ring. While the outside looked ordinary, the inner surface was covered in Azure Dragon carvings. They glittered and looked even more dazzling than the surrounding fire.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign sent his Mental Energy into the ring and saw a palace inside.
The Azure Dragon Palace!
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign felt excited and let out a surprised cry. The Azure Dragon Palace was the Azure Emperor's greatest secret back then.
It was mysterious and unfathomable, even more so than the Azure Emperor. It was the forbidden land that these Primes wanted to go to the most. However, they could not do anything. The formations outside changed time and space.
Even the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign did not dare to act hastily.
If it were only a spatial formation, it would be fine. With the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's comprehension of the state of space and his strength, he would be able to barge in.
The difficult part was the time formation. That was something he did not understand at all.
However, right now, this ring clearly had something to do with the Azure Dragon Palace. If the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign could take it, he might be able to enter the Azure Dragon Palace safely and learn its secrets.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign withdrew his gaze. Then, he glanced at the East Mountain Ghost Monarch and the Heaven Punishing Corpse God. Greed flashed in his eyes.
He did not want to tell anyone this secret.
That's not right. I forgot about the issue at hand. Why has the Emperor's Road not broken yet?
The Lunar Shadow Saber and the three rings aside, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, whose attention was attracted to the ancient ring, did not notice that the somewhat weak Heavenly Snow Divine Flame had merged with the fierce fire. Within that Heavenly Snow Divine Flame, there was a mysterious seed.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign's gaze swept across a few times, but he did not discover the Heavenly Snow Divine Flame.
The Emperor's Road was filled with blazing fire. One clump of Heavenly Snow Divine Flame was not strange.
"Never mind. As long as Wuque can finish walking his Emperor's Road, everything else will not matter. Perhaps the Emperor's Road did not break due to this bloody Emperor's Road being too strange."
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign shook his head, not wanting to think about why the Emperor's Road had not broken yet. In the end, he just attributed it to Xiao Chen's Emperor's Road being too extraordinary.
At this moment, Di Wuque was very cocky on his nine-colored Emperor's Road. He gained enlightenment, and his strength suddenly increased.
The weakness of his inadequate accumulations was made up for. All his injuries recovered.
As Di Wuque moved, he advanced ferociously. Auspicious clouds of nine colors surrounded him, and divine sounds rang out continuously.
With every step forward, Di Wuque threw a punch, directly shattering the various flames.
As he punched, the resonant divine sounds sang of immortality; songs and poems resounded in the sky, extolling the glory of the ancient Deities and their legends.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign smiled and said, "This moment of enlightenment is really timely. He finally completely grasped the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, gathering the powers of deities in both fists. With the help of my Deity Race ancestors, there is nothing to fear in this Great Tribulation of wind and fire."
Di Wuque's aura became increasingly sharper. As his white hair flew about, he looked handsome and bright like a sword.
He proceeded step by step. After the six-thousandth step, the mysterious phenomenon around him, the thousands of deity images, turned increasingly realistic.
"That's really quick. Di Wuque's combined wind and fire tribulations are almost here. He will probably slow down soon."
"This Di Wuque is truly incredible. At first, no one thought that he would succeed, yet he silently managed to reach this step."
"I can see the end of an age. Di Wuque's future is unlimited!"
Just as the cultivators outside Meteor Trail City discussed Di Wuque's progress, about whether he would slow down or not, Di Wuque's mysterious phenomenon materialized into a Deities' Nation. The vague image of a small world appeared with countless believers there, millions of them singing together, praising the Deities.
Bright, magnificent light shined, looking like rainbow ribbons waving behind Di Wuque.
"Ding! Ding! Dang! Dang!"
As the rainbow ribbons waved in the wind, the leisurely songs of praise carried on, making others want to dance to them.
"Whoosh!"
In the Great Tribulation of wind and fire, first came the wind tribulation and then the fire tribulation. Di Wuque had already experienced three thousand winds and three thousand fires. Now, he finally faced the combined wind and fire tribulations.
When Di Wuque stepped forward, wind and fire merged to form a demonic object that launched at him.
"Bang!"
When Di Wuque punched, the millions of believers in the Deities' Nation sang together, shattering this demonic object. It turned back into wind and fire and vanished into the sky.
Such a scene shook everyone's hearts. No one expected that when the wind and fire tribulation arrived, Di Wuque would still display such a strong front.
"He is unblockable. Right now, Di Wuque is too horrifyingly strong. He should have no problem finishing his Emperor's Road."
"It is really a pity. If Xiao Chen had not died, Di Wuque would not have inherited Xiao Chen's Great Luck. With just his accumulations, he would most likely have burned to death on the Emperor's Road."
"There is no need to say anything more. One cannot come back to life after dying. In the end, Di Wuque had the last laugh."
Di Wuque, who brought the might of the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist to its limits, was simply like a divine being who descended, an irresistible force as he quickly advanced.
He approached the peak step by step, getting closer to that Emperor's Door that every cultivator dreamed of.
Everyone's attention was on Di Wuque. Suddenly, two figures—one man and one woman—alighted on a mountain several million kilometers from Meteor Trail City. The man was a handsome man with a sword on his back, showing a relaxed expression and a naturally calm atmosphere.
However, when standing next to that woman, he was completely overshadowed, reduced to mediocrity.
There were no words in this world that could describe the girl's appearance. It was one that could tempt all the men who saw her.
Nevertheless, if one looked carefully, one would discover that the man did not even glance at her, not even out of the corner of his eye.
