Chapter 1388
Chapter 1388 (Raw 1379):
"Whoosh!"
The moment the saber was drawn, images of saber light filled the surroundings, everywhere in all directions.
Suddenly, it was like the world overflowed with boundless, endless saber light in every corner, every spot. It was everywhere.
The Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch had no way to dodge at all.
Even with their sharp senses, no matter what they saw or heard, even their minds were filled with saber lights or saber hums.
The saber lights lined up together, and the saber hums resounded, roaring up and down like surging waves and yet also like rolling thunder.
"Bang!" The First Generation Palace Master of the Martial God Palace raised his hand, and the saber light that he sent out knocked the three Primes into the air.
"Pu ci!" The three Primes all vomited a mouthful of blood, their complexions turning pallid.
The Deities' Nation small worlds behind the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign shattered. Miserable cries of many believers echoed in the sky.
A saber wound appeared on the dragon-tattooed chest of the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, whose torso had turned into a vast ocean containing many huge dragons.
That saber wound made it like the vast ocean was split into two, killing countless evil dragons.
The East Mountain Ghost Monarch was in an even sorrier state. He nearly went blind when the scene of hell materialized in his eyes was destroyed, suffering incredibly piercing pain in his eyes.
After sheathing his saber, the Martial God Palace's First Generation Palace Master turned into a beam of bright light and returned to the Martial God Medallion.
Ying Zongtian waved his hand slightly, and the rapidly spinning Martial God Medallion soon landed back in his hand.
At the side, the Cyclic Astral Lord's eyes flickered with light. Great desire appeared in their depths. Power surpassing a Prime's. It turned out that the Martial God Palace's First Generation Palace Master was so strong.
"Ying Zongtian, what's going on? Is the Martial God Palace's First Generation Palace Master an existence surpassing Prime as well?" the Cyclic Astral Lord asked in a rush.
Ying Zongtian shook his head and replied, "No."
"That's impossible. With such strength, how has he not surpassed Prime?"
Ying Zongtian pointed out, "The Thunder Sovereign does not surpass Prime, either, and he can shake up the entire Kunlun Realm. One need not surpass Prime in order to defeat the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch. After this is over, I'll tell you about it in detail. Right now, how about we continue attacking the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign?"
Now, the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch were injured as well, in worse states than the four of them. If they fought again, they could not end up being suppressed by the Heaven Punishing Corpse God alone, feeling wronged.
"It does not matter. After fighting for so long already, I'm not afraid of fighting a little longer."
"Sure."
Seeing that the Myriad-Law Fiend Master and the Spirit Fox King agreed, the Cyclic Astral Lord had to suppress the doubts in his heart and said, "I have no objections."
"Whoosh!"
The figures of the four flashed, instantly charging at the Heaven Abandoning Deity Sovereign, the Heaven Punishing Corpse God, and the East Mountain Ghost Monarch.
"Come, let's go and help protect Big Brother Xiao Chen as well!"
The figures of Mo Chen, An Junxi, Fang Baiyu, and the others flashed, blocking Di Wuque, who was about to attack again.
The remaining cultivators from both the Deity Dao Union's side and Supreme Sky Sect's side started fighting in the air again. This chaotic battle was truly endless.
Di Wuque coldly eyed Fang Baiyu, Mo Chen, An Junxi, Yue Bingyun, Shui Lingling, and the other good friends and elders of Xiao Chen. Then he said, "With your strengths, you want to block the current me?"
Fang Baiyu and Jiang Chuan stood at the very front, saying, "Di Wuque, you are now a Martial Emperor, furthermore, one that is already Fourth Heaven. Your future is unlimited. Why must you continue making things difficult for Xiao Chen?"
"Making things difficult for him?"
Di Wuque laughed loudly when he heard this. "When have I ever made things difficult for him? It is he who keeps targeting me. Since the Heavenly Dew Divine Spring at Kunlun Mountain, we have never gotten along. Ultimately, he even killed the woman that I love the most. I cannot swallow this anger!
"If you move aside now, I can spare your lives. Otherwise, don't blame me for making a move and not holding back!"
Mo Chen said angrily, "Don't push things too far. From the start to the end, Big Brother never intentionally made things difficult for you. How can you say this?"
"You? I know who you are. You are Xiao Chen's closest confidante. Very well, I will start with you. I will give Xiao Chen have a taste of what it is like to have a loved one die.
"Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, Distant Legend!"
Di Wuque threw a punch, using his most powerful technique. Countless voices resounded, singing paeans of praise for the Deity Race, singing of distant ancient legends.
All the past glory and legends appeared in reality. The world rippled and showed many glorious scenes.
With this punch, Di Wuque brought out an aura that spoke of his tyranny, one that said that the Deity Race reigned supreme in the world.
Di Wuque's momentum was great. As he charged forward ferociously, he directly tore through Fang Baiyu and Jiang Chuan's defense, instantly arriving before Mo Chen.
"Die!" Di Wuque shouted ferociously. His fist flickered with golden light. A surging Emperor's Might spread out endlessly.
Mo Chen felt shocked. In the time it took for a spark to fly, she summoned out the Book of Heavenly Works.
Three hundred different kinds of flames shot out of her body and formed a furnace cauldron for refining, shielding her.
"Bang!" The cauldron protecting Mo Chen shattered immediately into four or five pieces, allowing the fist to land on her body.
Fortunately, at the very last moment, the Book of Heavenly Works sent out another stream of flames and weakened some of the punch's might. This protected Mo Chen's body from shattering immediately; she only went flying and fainted.
"Not dead yet?"
Sensing that Mo Chen was still breathing, Di Wuque frowned slightly, wanting to throw another punch.
"Pa!"
Crackling sounds appeared in the sky. It was An Junxi's True Dragon Lightning Whip turning into a dragon and sweeping across.
"Insignificant tricks!"
Di Wuque casually grabbed and caught the dragon's head. Then, he yanked it. The force extended through the True Dragon Lightning Whip and jerked An Junxi forward.
"Shadowless and Windless!"
Despite there clearly being no wind, Di Wuque's hair started flying about messily. The Wind Shadow Sword in Yue Bingyun's hand charged over.
"Hiding and sneaking about. Come out here!" Di Wuque shouted. His voice contained incredible, surging Mental Energy. With this shout, he used force to break technique. The sound waves caused Yue Bingyun's sea of consciousness to roil. Then, she vomited a mouthful of blood and revealed herself.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Three arrows flew like meteors. Shui Lingling held up the Emperor Yi Shooting Sun Bow and shot from afar.
Di Wuque smiled in contempt. Then, he punched, using the second move of the Myriad Heaven Divine Fist, Radiance of Deities.
A divine light descended from the sky, encasing Di Wuque. As his hair flew about, he threw a punch from far away.
Exploding sounds rang out. The three arrows shattered in the air. However, the might of the fist light did not decrease at all as it continued towards Shui Lingling and struck the Profound Sun Bird.
These outstanding talents previously could put up a fight against Di Wuque, but now that Di Wuque had advanced to Martial Emperor, they were no match for him at all.
They could not even receive one move—no, half a move—from him.
At the crucial moment, Fang Baiyu and Jiang Chuan, two Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors, rushed over. Working together, they charged towards Di Wuque.
However, the situation was still not optimistic. In merely three moves, the two Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors showed signs of defeat.
Di Wuque's strength surpassed expectations. Among Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors, no one was a match for him.
However, right now, there was a chaotic battle going on. All the Sovereign Martial Emperors were involved in a larger battle. There were also strong enemies like the three Holy Masters to deal with. No one had the time to come and delay Di Wuque now. Hence, his momentum was unblockable.
On the bloody Emperor's Road, Xiao Chen's expression was sullen. He clenched his fists tightly and quickly started running on his Emperor's Road.
Everywhere he passed, the scarlet pillar of light parted the Great Tribulation of wind and fire in two. All the various combined wind and fire tribulations could not block Xiao Chen's progress.
Faster, faster! Go faster!
At this moment, Xiao Chen only had one thought. That was to finish walking this Emperor's Road, which ascended to the sky, as soon as possible and stop the somewhat demented Di Wuque.
If Xiao Chen delayed, he did not know what would happen.
Xiao Chen ran frantically. Soon, only ten steps remained of the last three thousand steps of the total of ten thousand steps.
As long as Xiao Chen took these ten steps, he could push open the Emperor's Door and forge the Golden Emperor's Body, advancing to Martial Emperor and ending this chaotic battle.
"Pu ci!"
Just at this moment, Fang Baiyu and Jiang Chuan were both sent flying while vomiting blood at the same time.
When Xiao Chen looked at his surroundings, he saw that none of the people who came to block Di Wuque could remain standing in the air.
Di Wuque revealed a cold smile as his eyes swept across the ground. His gaze landed on Yue Bingyun, Shui Lingling, Mo Chen, and the other girls, shuttling among them continuously.
Finally, his gaze fixed on the unconscious Mo Chen.
"Di Wuque, don't you dare!"
Xiao Chen, who had only one final step left on the bloody Emperor's Road, shouted as he stood high above and turned his head back.
The Emperor's Door in front was only one step away. However, Mo Chen and the others were ten kilometers below, on the brink of death.
"Haha! Why would I not dare?!" Di Wuque reared his head back and laughed, showing not a single care.
On the bloody Emperor's Road, Xiao Chen's expression turned extremely sullen. "Di Wuque, I, Xiao Chen, swear to the heavens that I will definitely kill you in this life."
"Even if you can kill me, you will not be able to stop me from killing the people that you care about."
Di Wuque laughed in disdain. He did not care about Xiao Chen's threat at all. He landed from the sky and flew straight towards Mo Chen.
Di Wuque's eyes turned cold. At the moment of the Divine Daughter's death, he had made up his mind to personally kill all of the people that Xiao Chen cared about.
"You are seeking death!" Xiao Chen roared.
Xiao Chen, who was on the Emperor's Road in the sky, only one step away from the bloody Emperor's Gate, made a decision that no one expected. He gave up on his Emperor's Road and directly jumped off.
"Boom!"
The Emperor's Road shattered and turned into fresh blood, dyeing the sky even redder than the setting sun, looking even more poignant.
