Chapter 1402
Chapter 1402 (Raw 1393):
This realization startled Xiao Chen awake. It looked like he got happy for nothing. The coercion of the Demons and the offers of the Cyclic Astral Lord both failed to obtain the Destruction Throne from the Jadeite Sovereign's hands.
How would Xiao Chen be able to take it away? It was like what the Jadeite Sovereign said: how could what he could offer be more attractive than what the Cyclic Astral Lord could take out?
The Jadeite Sovereign was a recluse, seeking nothing and wanting nothing. There were too few things that could tempt him.
As Xiao Chen remain seated on the throne, his expression did not change. However, he still pondered how to obtain the Destruction Throne.
Of the seven thrones, he lacked only the last one. No matter what, he needed to obtain it.
The Jadeite Sovereign said indifferently, "Please leave. Honestly speaking, that Destruction Throne is already refined into this Jadeite Pavilion, which is not only connected to the transportation formation of this relay station but is also my life Emperor Grade Secret Treasure."
A life Emperor Grade Secret Treasure in more ordinary terms was a certain Emperor Grade Secret Treasure that had been used for such a long time that it was like one's own arm, inseparable.
It was something like Xiao Chen's Lunar Shadow Saber.
Xiao Chen immediately understood. It was like how he would never hand the Lunar Shadow Saber to another person. Similarly, the Jadeite Sovereign would not give the Jadeite Pavilion to anyone.
"This humble self has been too forceful."
A gentleman would not snatch away another person's beloved. Although Xiao Chen was not a gentleman, he understood the other party's position and that this could not be forced.
The Jadeite Sovereign smiled and said, "Based on your appearance, it looks like you are going to attend the Saber Dao tea party. Over the past few years, I have seen many new bladesmen in this relay station. Some of them are rather famous, showing off a bright brilliance, even able to defeat some older-generation bladesmen. However, compared to you, it seems like they are missing something."
Xiao Chen smiled to himself. He had met some of the new-generation bladesmen and knew what they were missing: accumulations.
"Unexpectedly, you have such a high evaluation of me. Many thanks. I'll take my leave now. If you have any intention of selling the Destruction Throne in the future, please do let me know immediately."
Right after Xiao Chen spoke, the throne quickly transformed into a war chariot, completing his preparations to leave.
The horses reared their heads and pulled on the war chariot, slowly moving forward.
The Jadeite Sovereign entered deep thought. Aside from a certain air of experience, this Shadowless Saber Sovereign was very similar to a certain person he saw many years ago.
Suddenly, the lake became half covered in blood, instantly spreading under the Jadeite Sovereign's feet.
"Whoosh!"
A figure appeared in the blood, and a sword thrust at the Jadeite Sovereign. This sword strike was extremely fast and came without any warning.
"Pu ci! The sword pierced through the Jadeite Sovereign's body. Then, his body shattered into pieces and fell into the lake.
Inside the Jadeite Pavilion, the Jadeite Sovereign's true body vomited a mouthful of blood. He frowned and exclaimed, "A Blood Demon Sovereign Martial Emperor!"
The one who attacked was a Blood Demon Sovereign Martial Emperor. He managed to destroy a clone of the Jadeite Sovereign in an instant. Furthermore, he managed to trace the clone's source and harmed the true body with the sword Qi.
"Screech! Screech! Screech! Screech!"
Screeching sounds came from the air, and a figure with a metallic sheen descended from the sky. This figure threw a punch, and space trembled.
"You are seeking death!"
A ferocious roar came from the Jadeite Pavilion. The Jadeite Sovereign revealed himself and landed on the surface of the lake. "Boom!" The Jadeite Pavilion soared up into the sky.
The pavilion crashed into the metallic figure with a 'clang.' Then, the figure fell straight down.
After this figure climbed back up to his feet, he chuckled foolishly. It was like this berserk blow had not injured him at all.
"An Iron Demon Sovereign Martial Emperor!"
Inside the war chariot, Xiao Chen's face sank. Two Sovereign Martial Emperors to kill one Jadeite Sovereign, this was a great expenditure.
"Jadeite Sovereign, the Demon Sovereign of my race has cultivated the Destruction Dao for many years and urgently needs the throne in your possession to make a breakthrough. If you are wise, you will hand it over and gain some benefits. If not, you will not be able to escape death," the Blood Demon Sovereign Martial Emperor said coldly as he brandished his sword.
The Sovereign Emperor's Might that belonged only to Sovereign Martial Emperors came from Blood Demon's body, suppressing the unique Jadeite Lake below him.
The lake became completely covered in blood, suppressing the Jadeite Sovereign's Domain.
The Jadeite Sovereign's expression turned somewhat grave. He was a Seventh Heaven Sovereign Martial Emperor, but he would not fear an Eighth Heaven Sovereign Martial Emperor in this Jadeite Lake. However, the other party clearly came prepared, sealing his Jadeite Lake. Furthermore, the other party also brought along an Iron Demon Sovereign Martial Emperor. This battle did not look good for him.
The Jadeite Sovereign glanced around. The Shadowless Saber Sovereign was not far away. However, the Shadowless Saber Sovereign did not have a heavy Emperor's Might and a strong aura.
The two Demon Sovereign Martial Emperors did not care about the Shadowless Saber Sovereign at all, not even bothering to look at him.
However, the Jadeite Sovereign himself knew that escaping this calamity would greatly depend on whether he could enlist this person's help or not.
Will he help?
The Jadeite Sovereign felt that it was impossible. The other party wanted to obtain the Destruction Throne. This was a rare chance for the Shadowless Saber Sovereign. The best way would naturally be to wait until he and the two Demons were injured from the battle and take advantage of both sides without putting in any effort.
"Ding dang! Ding dang!"
Suddenly, tinkling sounds resounded, and a flash of saber light descended from the sky. Pride stabbed into the lake, giving off an unparalleled, sharp light.
"Crack! Crack!" The peerless saber Qi spread out, and cracks instantly appeared in the blood covering the entire lake.
Xiao Chen not only helped, but he also did so without any hesitation, decisive and quick.
"Great opportunity!"
The Jadeite Sovereign's eyes lit up. He held a miniature Jadeite Pavilion in his left hand and moved a finger of his right hand.
The entire lake erupted, immediately sending all the blood flying.
"Ignorant junior. Kill him!"
The Blood Demon Sovereign Martial Emperor became incredibly enraged. When the Iron Demon Sovereign Martial Emperor heard him, he leaped off the surface of the water and quickly charged at the war chariot.
As the Iron Demon moved, he appeared slow but was actually incredibly fast. His body shone with a bright light, looking like an iron sculpture.
"Be careful. That is a Deep Abyss Demonic World Iron Demon Sovereign Martial Emperor!"
The Jadeite Sovereign felt anxious and yelled quickly to remind the Shadowless Saber Sovereign, fearing that the Shadowless Saber Sovereign would get careless and suffer.
The Blood Demon Sovereign Martial Emperor smiled coldly and said, "No matter how anxiously you call out, it will be useless. It is rare for Iron Demons to have a Sovereign Martial Emperor appear. However, once one advances to Sovereign Martial Emperor, even a Divine Weapon can't hurt—"
"Bang!"
Before the Blood Demon Sovereign Martial Emperor could finish, there was a loud report and the Iron Demon Sovereign Martial Emperor charging toward the war chariot fell down in a sorry state.
Six bloody holes appeared in the Iron Demon's chest, saber intent lingered in them, and blood flowed out continuously.
The Blood Demon Sovereign Martial Emperor turned his head to look and saw starlight filling the sky. Xiao Chen sat calmly on a black throne with seven Divine Weapons floating in the air, circling him and radiating saber intent.
"Shadowless Saber Sovereign!"
Xiao Chen said softly, "It is an honor that the Sovereign Martial Emperors of the Deep Abyss Demonic World know of my existence. Don't move!"
Xiao Chen spoke, then suddenly changed the topic halfway. The seven Divine Weapons turned into seven beams of light, disappearing in a flash.
The Iron Demon Sovereign Martial Emperor, who just stood up, wanted to charge over. However, he was ruthlessly knocked back once again.
This time, the Iron Demon's wounds were even deeper, spurting even more blood.
The heavens were fair, giving the Iron Demons a physical body with absolute strength but also taking something away: intelligence!
If this Iron Demon were as intelligent as Xiao Chen, he would not move so directly. If he were more nimble, Xiao Chen would find him more difficult to handle.
However, now, Xiao Chen did not mind stabbing him a few more times.
Could not be injured?
With seven Divine Weapons working together, there was nothing they could not injure. As Xiao Chen sat on the throne, he looked like a ruler of sabers!
"Let's go!"
The Blood Demon Sovereign Martial Emperor knew that things were not going well. He helped the Iron Demon Sovereign Martial Emperor to his feet and turned into a beam of scarlet light soaring into the sky.
Seeing the two Demons leave, Xiao Chen and the Jadeite Sovereign did not pursue them. Since the other party was not significantly injured, forcefully giving chase would gain no advantage.
If the Jadeite Sovereign left this Jadeite Lake, his combat prowess would decline significantly. If they truly fought to the end, it would result in both sides sustaining severe injuries.
"Many thanks for saving me," the Jadeite Sovereign said sincerely after he flew over while holding the Jadeite Pavilion.
The Jadeite Sovereign appeared somewhat fatigued, his complexion pale. Evidently, the Blood Demon Sovereign Martial Emperor's sword strike was rather overbearing.
Xiao Chen said calmly, "You are too polite. It was just a matter of convenience."
The Jadeite Sovereign sighed, "Unexpectedly, this Blood Demon Monarch is so persistent. For the sake of this Destruction Throne, he even sent Sovereign Martial Emperors."
"Why not leave this starry heaven relay station? Go to the Kunlun Continent. The Demon Sovereign Martial Emperors would not dare to behave so rampantly there."
The Jadeite Sovereign shook his head and said, "I have lived in this starry heaven relay station for hundreds of years and am already accustomed to everything here. I have an idea. If you are willing to deal with the rage of the Blood Demon Monarch, I can give the Destruction Throne to you."
If Demon Greater Heavenly Martial Emperors attacked, the Jadeite Sovereign would not care. However, Sovereign Martial Emperors attacking was a problem.
This time Xiao Chen was around to help block the problem. However, what about the next time and the times after that?
The Jadeite Sovereign had lived here in seclusion for hundreds of years. He was already tired of killing and fighting and just wanted to live the rest of his life in peace and not get drawn into any conflict.
This development stunned Xiao Chen somewhat. This was truly a strange turn of events. Who could have imagined that the Jadeite Sovereign would personally offer the Destruction Throne to him?
